The Smugglers is a Red Dead Redemption posse.
About the posse
Throughout the Old West smuggling was a profitable business. It was all controlled by a group who simply called themselves "The Smugglers". Most of their profits were from smuggling criminals out of America and through the border into Mexico, they also made a large profit from stealing oil and gold from business and both the US and Mexican Governments. The Smugglers were brought to justice in 1933 by the American Army after a large and deadly confrontation which left many dead, their leader was executed for his crimes and all was over...so it seemed, but they are still making profit to this day all over the globe.
Joining the posse
We are a 360 only Posse. Looking for Mature members. we participate in Posse matches. we are not a Hardcore posse but we do like some level of enthusiasm to win. Would be good if you are over 15.

The Order of the Five Rings was a sect of the Brotherhood of Shinsei who followed the teachings of the monk Gorinno, who proposed the religious movement of Five Rings, Five Clans. [1]
Founding Edit
In the year 523 the Lion Clan Champion Akodo Kento announced the Lion would build a monastery dedicated to the study of Gorinno's teachings, thus effectively founding the Order of the Five Rings. [2]
Open Violence Edit
In the year 526, upon request of the Kuni Daimyo Kuni Watabe, Gorinno led his monk and peasant followers to help break the Siege of Shiro Kuni, but at a heavy cost. Despite their support, the Order of the Five Rings was expelled from Crab lands the next year. Gorinno's monks condemned the Fortunist monasteries as misguided and selfish, and soon open violence erupted between Shintaoist and Fortunist sects through the Empire. Dragon samurai were sent to act as peacekeepers between the rival factions. Their leader Gorinno is appointed as Imperial Advisor, and in 533 he used his station to silence any complaints in the open attacks of the Five Ring monks over Fortunist monks. [3]
Hawk Clan is Announced Edit
In 534 the Emperor Hantei XIII proclaimed the merged Crane/Scorpion "Clan of Air" would be known as the Hawk Clan. Five Rings felt confident enough to openly attack opposing samurai as well as monks from other sects, and violence escaleted throughout the Empire. Dragon peacekeeepers actively opposed the Five Rings monks, working to restore order and harmony. [4]
Disbanded Edit
The Brotherhood held a conclave to discuss the ongoing problems created by both the Order of the Five Rings and Gorinno's teachings. Their leader successfully rebuffed all attacks in the Imperial Court. The next year a delegation of the Brotherhood of Shinsei announced the Five Rings order was a False Path in front of the Emperor. Gorinno lose his on, threatening his followers would destroy his enemies' temples. The Emperor turned his back and Gorinno was banished from Otosan Uchi. His followers unleashed a wave of violent rebellion, which led to the Imperial Decree formally labeling the Order as heretical, and commanding it be permanently disbanded. [5]

Above are some photos I took earlier this week, when I drove to the printer in Frederick, Maryland to load the ol' Honda Element and drop stacks off throughout the area. Myself, and many other fine area cartoon and comic artists have their work featured in what is yet another stellar, fun-filled volume. A huge thanks goes out to Mr. Andrew Cohen, who edited and was crucial in getting number eleven to happen, and who also picked up a ton of bundles to distribute throughout the greater DC area. It's always nice to see folks happy and willing to carry our work at their businesses and public facilities, helping to spread some love through comics! Some of the places I dropped mine off so far (and pictured above) include, The Art Institute of Dulles/Sterling, VA, The Rust Public Library in Leesburg, VA, Gallery 505 North, The Griffin Arts Center, Cafe Nola, Vinyl Acres, Brainstorm Comics and Gaming and the C. Burr Artz Public Library, all in Frederick, Maryland. This Sunday evening, from 5-8pm, I'll have many more bundles available for pick up at the Mad Hatter, in DC. Stay tooned!

AUBURN, Ind. – Auctions America by RM enjoyed a successful return to Carlisle, Pennsylvania on the weekend, posting $2.79 million* in sales with 58% of all lots sold at its debut Fall Carlisle sale, September 29 – October 1.
Held as part of Carlisle Events' renowned Fall Carlisle Collector Car Weekend, the multi-day auction presented a diverse roster of 273 collector cars, joined by a select range of memorabilia before a packed house. Claiming top honors was a dramatically styled, show-quality1959 DeSoto Firedome Convertible (pictured) which realized a final sales price of $99,000, closely followed by the sale of an exceptional, low-mileage 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster for $90,200. In addition, the auction included the sale of a 2006 Ford Escape, donated by Giant Food Stores, which sold for $11,500 with full proceeds benefiting the local Carlisle branch of the Salvation Army.
The weekend's sale wrapped up a successful 2011 partnership for Auctions America by RM and Carlisle Events, who joined forces earlier this year to host co-branded events in Auburn, IN and Carlisle, PA.
"Despite the weather, Fall Carlisle was another great weekend and celebration of the collector car hobby. We're very pleased with the results and interest levels in our 2011 Carlisle auctions – they've provided a great foundation for us to further build upon in 2012," says Donnie Gould, President, Auctions America by RM.

From the outset, it's been a great partnership and we look forward continuing our relationship in 2012 as we work to further grow the Auburn and Carlisle events and provide automotive enthusiasts with an unmatched collector car event experience and level of service."
"I'm very pleased with our initial partnership with Auctions America by RM," noted Carlisle Events Partner Bill Miller III. "We saw great results with both our Spring and Fall auctions and working with them exceeded our expectations.

It's a true testament to their years of experience and quality of their clientele." Miller continued by saying that "I'm looking forward to our second year with Auctions America by RM and their return to Carlisle in April of 2012."

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
What do you feel caused you to be closed off from your husband?
How long have you been married and when did the problems start?
Thank you for the information!
It is very clear why you feel the way you do. Your husband is basically living a single life and you are living a married life, but without the partner. You are a single parent, one of the most stressful jobs someone can have. Your needs are not being met, while your husband can meet his own needs and does not have to care for anyone else's needs.
Your relationship is unequal and it is causing you to anger and resentment. Your response is very natural. What needs to happen is a shift in your marriage of responsibilities and of communication. And your husband needs to prioritize so you are first in his life.
Take some time and write out your responsibilities. Then set up a meeting with your husband and talk about your list. Try to leave your feelings out of it. I say that because you want to address a problem here and not a begin conflict. By leaving your feelings out, you can stick to getting what you need.
Start your conversation by telling him what you told me. You love him and respect him. Let him know you are proud of the way he provides for you and the family. Reassure him by touching his hand or face. Smile at him. This will let him know you care and are on his side.
Then let your husband know, in a firm but gentle tone, that you understand he works a lot, but you keep the same kinds of hours. You never get a break, you are on call 24/7, and you need time for yourself in order to be there for him. Then let him come up with solutions. Talk about his suggestions and see if you can compromise. It might be that he spends a day with the kids when he is home and takes them out so you can rest. Or he hires someone to help you. Or he learns to pay the bills on line so you don't have to do it. Whatever it is, he needs to take some of the responsibility from you and shoulder it himself.
Men need to know they are cared about, but they also like to feel in charge. If you suggest he come up with answers, that gives him the feeling he is solving the problem and you will feel cared about at the same time.
Then make a list of what you decide and hand him a copy. Men like to see what they need to do on paper. It helps them to remember and gives them clear guidelines. It also makes it easy for both of you to refer back to the list so you don't misinterpret what was said.
Once you work out the responsibilities, talk about how you can spend time together, which is what he needs. You can try telling him that once the responsibilities are done, the kids have had time with him and you feel you are caught up, then you want to be with him. If he knows that once those things are accomplished he will get what he needs, he may be more willing to compromise.
Then set aside some time for just the two of you. Hire a babysitter and go out (that gives you more time away too), have a movie night at home, whatever you both like to do.
Here are some resources to help you with other ideas:
How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It by Patricia Love and Steven Stosny
Every Man's Marriage: An Every Man's Guide to Winning the Heart of a Woman (The Every Man Series) by Stephen Arterburn - for your husband
You can find these books on Amazon.com or your local library may have them for you.
Once your husband takes more responsibility in your marriage and shows you are important to him, it will help you begin to feel more open and loving towards him.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions,

Our Reader: City of Syracuse, suburbs merge plan a reasonable solution
Because of lack of support, there will rightly not be ballot measure on the merger plan in November.
The Consensus team should have addressed the broader issue of how should we effect mergers and shared services that would increase the efficiency of government and reduce costs. It must be a plan that makes sense.
I believe that the most reasonable solution is to merge the City of Syracuse with the contiguous suburbs to create a metro Syracuse with a single government headed by a mayor. The outer villages could be merged with the towns they reside in. The County government would oversee the concerns that are common to both. The concerns of urban and rural areas are often distinct and would be handled by their separate entities. The expanded urban core will share all their services which would result in increased efficiency and better services at lower cost.
Consensus should consider this model and hold hearings to get input as to how such a model would work and could be enabled.

Sobeys Parent Company Posts Record Q4 Earnings
Consolidated earnings benefited from grocer's privatization, c.e.o. said.
Empire Co., Ltd., the parent company of Canadian supermarket operator Sobeys, Inc. yesterday posted earnings of CAN $73.6 million (US $72.6 million), or $1.12 per share, for the fourth quarter ended May 3, vs. CAN $64.1 million (US $63.2 million), or 98 cents last year, a CAN $9.5 million (US $9.4 million) or 14.8 percent increase.
Fiscal 2008 earnings came to CAN $242.8 million (US $239.6 million), or $3.69 per share, vs. CAN $200.1 million (US $197.4), or $3.04 per share, in the year-ago period, a CAN $42.7 million (US $42.1 million )or 21.3 percent increase.
The company said the numbers were before capital gains and other items, net of tax.
President and c.e.o. Paul Sobey said the quarter's earnings "was a record level for the company. Our consolidated earnings benefited from having 100 percent ownership of Sobeys [which went private during the fiscal year] vs. 72 percent a year ago, amplified by Sobeys' continued growth in total and same-store sales, selling margins, and ongoing cost reduction initiatives. The higher earnings contribution from Sobeys more than offset the expected lower earnings from our residential real estate operation."
Highlights of the quarter included revenue of CAN $3.56 billion (US $3.51 million), an increase of CAN $207.4 million (US $204.7 million) or 6.2 percent; a rise in Sobeys same-store sales of 2.6 percent, and net earnings of CAN $66.5 million (US $65.6 million) or $1.01 per share.
Among the highlights of the fiscal year were revenue of CAN $14.06 billion (US $13.88 billion), up CAN $698.3 million (US $689.2 million) or 5.2 percent; an increase in Sobeys same-store sales of 2.8 percent; and net earnings of CAN $315.8 million US $311.7 million), or $4.80 per share, vs. CAN $205.8 million (US $203.1 million), or $3.13.
Sobeys' operating income contribution to Empire in the fourth quarter came to CAN $104.3 million (US 102.9 million), an increase of CAN $29.3 million (US $28.9 million) or 39.1 percent from the CAN $75.0 million (US $74.0 million) recorded in the fourth quarter last year. The grocer posted fourth-quarter operating margin, which is operating income divided by revenue, of 3.06 percent compared with 2.31 percent in the year-ago period.
For fiscal 2008, Sobeys' operating income contribution was CAN $359.0 million (US $354.2 million) vs. CAN $291.0 million (US $287.1 million) last year. Sobeys recorded operating margin in the fiscal year of 2.64 percent, compared to 2.23 percent in the prior year.
The CAN $68.0 million (US $67.1 million) or 23.4 percent rise in Sobeys' operating income contribution in fiscal 2008 was mainly attributable to same-store sales growth of 2.8 percent, a continued focus on innovation and cost management initiatives; and lower spending in fiscal 2008 on its business process and system initiatives and business rationalization costs.
The core businesses of Empire, based in Stellarton, N.S., include food retailing and related real estate. Empire employs about 42,000 people directly and through its subsidiaries.

SOLVED: bellflower?
Welcome to the garden, Debsbloom. This looks like a bellflower to me, Campanula persicifolia, I think. Here's a link to Googles: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=www.georgerumsey.com/summer/campanula.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.georgerumsey.com/garden4.htm&h=264&w=437&prev=/images%3Fq%3DCampanula%2Bpersicifolia%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DG
Thank you, Weezingreens
Debsbloom: You're surely welcome! I'd think it was pretty warm in your neck of the woods for campanulas. How is it taking the heat? Our climate is cool and damp, so the bellflowers love us here. What's your temp this time of year?
Generally, this time of year the highs are in the 90's and the lows in the upper 60's. Not much rain this time of year. The bellflower is growing in the shade and is tough. I had it in a very small pot the first year I had it... I fogot about it and it survived the winter outside under the rose bush.
That's great. I didn't know they'd do well in your climate. We are already into fall now. Some of the cottonwood leaves have already fallen, and the rain is falling in earnest. I'm afraid I'd melt into a puddle in 90 degree weather. I'm too aclimented for Alaska!

untitled Deleting Vertices To Bound Path Length Doowon Paik+ Sudhakar Reddy++ Sartaj Sahni+ University of Florida University of Iowa University of Florida Abstract We examine the vertex deletion problem for weighted directed acyclic graphs (wdags). The objective is to delete the fewest number of vertices so that the resulting wdag has no path of length > δ. Several simplified versions of this problem are shown to be NP-hard. However, the problem is solved in linear time when the wdag is a rooted tree and in quadratic time when the wdag is a series-parallel graph. Keywords And Phrases Vertex deletion, directed acyclic graphs, rooted trees, series-parallel graphs, NP-hard __________________ + Research supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation under grants DCR-84-20935 and MIPS-86-17374. ++ Research supported, in part, by SDIO/IST Contract No. N00014-90-J-1793 managed by US Office of Naval Research. 1 2 1 Introduction A variety of vertex deletion problems formulated on graphs and digraphs are known to be NP- hard [KRIS79]. In this paper, we propose a new formulation of the vertex deletion problem that is applicable to edge weighted directed acyclic graphs (wdag). In this formulation, we are interested in deleting the smallest number of vertices from the wdag such that the resulting wdag has no path of length > δ where δ is an input to the problem. This problem is a natural variant of the vertex splitting problem for weighted wdags that we studied in [PAIK90]. In the vertex splitting problem, we are split the fewest number of vertices so that the resulting wdag has no path of length >δ. When a vertex is split, two vertices are created. The incoming edges of the original vertex are attached to one of these and the outgoing edges to the other. The vertex splitting problem can be used to model several VLSI design prob- lems such as the selection of flip-flops for scan paths in partial scan designs and the placement of signal boosters in lo

I have been looking around on the site and I can't find any answers to my question. I am making a shoe for the top of the cake out of gum paste. This is my 1st time using it but from what I read it easy to use. I have made the shape and left it to dry and after 24hours it is still the same as it was when I started. I am using Nicholas Lodge gumpaste which I was told by the store and also printed on the package it dries in 2-5 hours. I am not sure what i am doing wrong!!! This cake is for my head chef for his finance for her birthday and if this cake is not to his standard and the shoe looks good it could make for a very miserable working environment!!! Please any suggestions send them my way, time is ticking away as we speak...............
I am sorry but I have no idea why it would not be dry. Did you put something on it like shortening? That adds moisture and can be the issue.
I haven't ever used Nicholas Lodge's premade gumpaste, I usually make my own. I do know from having made some shoes that it sometimes takes longer for the shoe to dry, mainly from the supports and stuffing used to keep it in shape and also in my area the humidity. I also find it takes longer to dry on the shoes than the flowers cause I roll it out thicker. I always use a little mini fan in the room pointed on my thicker gumpaste peices.
Maybe the humidity?

*Please share and spread this Late Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning Hillary Clinton's supporters waited for her to address them, as of now they are still waiting. Rather than concede to Donald Trump and give her concession speech Hillary had her campaign lackey tell the audience to go home because she had nothing to say.Could you imagine what the media would be saying if the roles were reversed and Trump was acting his way? The Federalist Papers reported: We have not heard from Hillary Clinton as of yet. Her supporters came to the event last night expecting a big victory, but left with nothing. She refused to come out and give a concession speech, instead sending her surrogate – John Podesta – out to tell the crowd not to give up hope, but to still go home and go to sleep.
Even as the results became clear – and even as Clinton privately called Trump to concede (but waiting until 2:30 a.m. eastern time), she refused to address the crowd: "Several states are too close to call so we aren't going to have anything more to say tonight," Podesta told the crowd, knowing this wasn't true. "Everybody should head home and get some sleep. We'll have more to say tomorrow." "I want every person in this hall, and across the country, to know that your voices and your enthusiasm means so much," he continued. For a woman who is proclaimed the ultimate diplomat and "peacemaker," one would think she would have the decency to address her adoring fans who waited for hours to hear from her. "Absolute disbelief," one supporter from New York, Dehmar, told the Washington Examiner. "I dob't think most of us here even considered this to be a possibility. I don't want to say it was in the bag, but I don't think any of us could imagine what a world would be like with Donald Trump as our president."Perhaps this is why Hillary Clinton deserved to lose – too elitist to even address her own crowd. Too full of herself to be gracious in defeat.

QUEENSLANDERS will be banned from smoking at the school gates or within 5m of a hospital under tough new anti-smoking reforms to be announced today by the State Government.
And in further toughening of the state's smoking laws, health experts are pushing for the Government to go further by banning smoking in locations like footpaths, bus stops, taxi ranks, ferry terminals and shopping malls.
INMATES: What they've been smoking
PUSH: Councils want smoke-free cities
Under the reforms, all public and private health facilities and schools will be totally smoke-free from January 1, 2015, with on-the-spot penalties of $220 for lighting up.
This will include bans in all school and hospital outdoor areas as well as a 5m buffer around the perimeter.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg told The Courier-Mail the reforms were important as there was no safe level of smoking for smokers or those around them.
"The five-metre buffer outside schools and hospitals will extend beyond the average width of a footpath and as a result, the congregations of smokers that tend to gather at entry and exit points will be dispersed," Mr Springborg said.
"Whenever we get the chance we will move to further restrict access to free smoking places in Queensland.
"We already have among the toughest anti-smoking laws in the country and they will continue to be toughened over time to save people and to reduce the burden on public health and make sure people live longer, healthier lives."
The move comes after a campaign by the Cancer Council Queensland to create smoke-free spaces across the state.
The council has written to all Queensland MPs saying that more smokers would quit if bans were widened.
The council also called on the Government to set a target of reducing the smoking rate to 5 per cent by 2025. Around 15 per cent of adult Queenslanders smoke daily at present.
"Almost one Queenslander will die every day from inhaling tobacco smoke, without ever having smoked a cigarette in their life,'' council chief executive Jeff Dunn said.
Chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young said strong smoking bans at nightclubs, hotels and workplaces, tobacco retail restrictions and advertising campaigns had been effective.
"This resulted in about 10,000 fewer smokers each year, including among young adults,'' she said.
Smoking in Queensland is currently banned at major sports stadiums, patrolled beaches, playgrounds, entrances to non-residential buildings and outdoor eating and drinking areas.
The ban will be enforced by environmental health officers at education facilities and hospital security guards.

SE: K-State Sports Extra Q&A: Levi MaVorhis
Every month, a new student-athlete is featured through the K-State Sports Extra Q&A. This month, K-State Sports Extra sat down with Wildcat baseball senior Levi MaVorhis to talk baseball, his time at K-State and more.
Among the top pitchers for the Wildcats, MaVorhis leads K-State this season with a 4-3 record on the mound and a team-best 49 strikeouts to go along with a 3.91 ERA. With his win last Saturday at West Virginia, he moved into a tie for fifth place in K-State history in career victories.
A native of Freeland, Washington, MaVorhis came to K-State in the fall of 2012 and was quick to make an impact. During his freshman season of 2013, MaVorhis was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team after going 5-0 with a 4.77 ERA. He pitched in 23 games and earned six starts as a rookie, helping K-State to Big 12 and Regional titles on its way to a school-record 45 wins overall.
His sophomore season, MaVorhis was the Wildcats' Friday night starter and went 6-7 with a 3.95 ERA. Though an injury shortened his junior season to just 10 appearances, after a long summer and fall of rehab and recovery, MaVorhis returned to the mound just in time this season to close his Wildcat career on a high note.
Here's a look at what he had to say:
Sports Extra: How long have you been playing baseball?
Levi MaVorhis: I've been playing baseball for as long as I can remember. My dad used to play catch with me in the house – my mom didn't like that too much – but that's how I got started. My grandpa played, so it was always something that I knew I'd love to do.
SE: What does the game mean to you?
LM: It means everything. You can learn so much through the game of baseball. Obviously you learn competition, comradery, but you also how to deal with failure; it's such a big part of life in general. It forces you to flush the bad and learn from the good, then move on to the next game. That's what baseball has taught me. It's been a big part of my life.
SE: When did you realize you wanted to play collegiately?
LM: I always kind of knew. I've always told myself I'm going to play until they make me take off the jersey. I didn't know I was going to go to K-State out of high school – I honestly had no idea where Kansas State was. I was planning on playing junior college ball because I hadn't gotten any looks, but after my senior year I came out here for a summer tournament and I guess that's where the coaches saw me. I got a call a week later from the pitching coach at the time, Josh Reynolds, and two weeks later I was out in Manhattan, Kansas. It's been a blast since then.
SE: What was it about K-State that made you want to come here?
LM: The people. I've never been anywhere where the people are so friendly and open. If you're out west, people don't know where Manhattan, Kansas, is, but once you do come out here you understand why people speak so highly of it. It's amazing.
SE: You're one of only a few players on this year's team who has been here for four years. With that experience, have you felt that you've taken on more of a leadership role this season?
LM: Yeah, everybody that's been here, us older guys, I think it's everybody's job to help the young guys. When you come in as a freshman, you don't know what to expect. The game goes so fast, and you're kind of just flying by the seat of your pants, so you need somebody there when you're a young guy.
SE: Have you enjoyed being in that role and being in the position to help the younger guys on the team?
LM: Yeah, it's fun. It's been a blast to see kids come in unsure of themselves then have success. I think that's the best part, for me, to see kids that succeed so well. It's just fun to see them grow and grow into big parts of the team.
SE: Coming off of injury, how nice has it been to be back on the mound this year?
LM: It's been indescribable. Especially with the injury that I had; we had two other pitchers that I've pitched with have that same injury. Colton Kalmus (2013-2015) got it twice and at the time that it happened to him, it was a really hard thing for him to come back from, luckily he was able to come back. Then, Blake McFadden (2013-14) had it too, but he wasn't able to come back. So when you think about the injury, you think, 'It's going to be no big deal,' but there was kind of a thought in my brain where I didn't know. I could have been done. So when I was able to get back pitching pain free, that's a hard feeling to describe.
SE: Looking back at your career at K-State, what have been some of the biggest highlights for you?
LM: The Big 12 Championship (2013), obviously, that was a blast, and the Super Regional, but honestly, each season has its own moments for me. Last year, that TCU weekend, seeing us, a team that everybody picked dead last in the conference, to come back and be a team that beats the (No. 3) team in the nation. It was fun to see those things happen because it shows in baseball, if you're a better team, you may not have the most talent, but you can beat anybody.
SE: Finally, what is the best part about being a student-athlete at K-State?
LM: The people you meet. The overall experience that you have is one of a kind. I'm so glad I ended up coming here. It's been a blast to not only meet my teammates, but also all the other student-athletes too. The opportunities we have, you don't realize how lucky you are until you leave. Going to football games, just everything, it's just quite an experience.
Following a weekend trip to West Virginia where the Wildcats won two of three over the Mountaineers, K-State (16-20, 3-9 Big 12) will return to Tointon Family Stadium tonight as the team is set to host Nebraska (22-14, 7-5 Big Ten) at 6:35 p.m.
Tickets for tonight's game are available through the K-State Athletics Ticket office online at www.kstatesports.com/tickets, by phone at 1-800-221-CATS or can be purchased before the game at the main gate of Tointon Family Stadium. For more information on tonight's matchup, please click here.
We hope you enjoy K-State Sports Extra. We would like to hear your comments and any story ideas for future emails, so fire them our way. Contact Kelly McHugh-Stewart, or K-State Associate AD for Communications Kenny Lannou.

Kelly Out 6 Games
Kelly Out 6 Games
Dec. 28, 2010
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State Athletics Director John Currie announced today that senior forward Curtis Kelly will miss a total of six games as a result of a secondary violation of NCAA rules for receipt of impermissible benefits on the purchase of clothing at a local department store.
The NCAA's Student-Athlete Reinstatement Staff has accepted K-State's recommendation of penalties for Kelly's violation, which also includes repayment of the value of the benefit to a charity of his choice and corrective educational efforts by the department's Compliance staff.
The NCAA also stated that the two games from which Kelly was withheld last week against UNLV and UMKC may be counted toward his penalty. Kelly will be required to sit out four more games, making him eligible to return to playing status against Texas Tech on January 15.
Kelly and senior guard Jacob Pullen were declared ineligible last week by K-State for accepting impermissible benefits. Pullen has served two games of a three-game suspension and will miss the Wildcats' next game against North Florida on Friday afternoon. He will be eligible to return against Savannah State on January 3.
The lengths of Pullen's and Kelly's suspensions are based on guidelines established by the NCAA for extra-benefit violations. Generally, if the value of the benefit received is between $100 and $300, the student-athlete must sit out 10 percent of the team's regularly-scheduled games in that season. For an amount between $300 and $500, the penalty is 20 percent and for benefits greater than $500 a student-athlete must miss 30 percent of the team's games.
Currie said the NCAA's confirmation of Kelly's suspension concludes K-State's inquiry into the matter.

Well, we're halfway through another baseball season. And it's been a great year to be a GM with a computer, a great year to be a guy who wrote a book about a GM with a computer, and a great year to be a hair stylist with a Tampa Bay Devil Rays account.
On the other hand, it's been a lousy year to be a manager with a boss named Steinbrenner, any pitcher in Detroit or a 513-homer guy with a broken bat.
But it's been a spectacular season so far, all the same. So Vanna, the envelopes please ...
Carlos Delgado, Toronto
Was it really just a few months ago that the Blue Jays had convinced themselves that Delgado was a guy you couldn't build an offense around? Uh, never mind. He's suddenly heading for one of the monster years of all time. Only three players in history have ever had a 165-RBI, 130-run, 50-homer, 90-extra-base-hit, 1.000 on-base-plus-slugging season -- Babe Ruth, Hack Wilson and Jimmie Foxx. But that's where Delgado is heading if his second half matches his first half. Scary. Apologies to: Bret Boone, Nomar Garciaparra, Garret Anderson, Melvin Mora.
Albert Pujols, St. Louis
In the back of our brains, we still hear that little voice screaming, "Are you crazy? NOBODY is more valuable to his team than Barry Bonds." We agree with that little voice. But if Pujols keeps this up, he's going to have one of the most memorable seasons in history, for a team that is in contention ONLY because of its offense. Even if he doesn't win the Triple Crown, he's still leading the league in batting, hits and extra-base hits, and is second in doubles, runs and slugging. And how many National Leaguers have EVER led in all those departments in the same year? How about two -- Stan Musial (1948) and Rogers Hornsby (1920). And he's actually accounted for a higher percentage of his team's runs than Bonds. Apologies to: Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Mike Lowell, Todd Helton, Luis Gonzalez.
Paul Konerko, Chicago
Yikes. What HAPPENED to this guy? This time last year, Konerko was an All-Star who almost reached the finals of the Home Run Derby. Now he has fewer home runs (four) than Matt Kata (who got called up -- what? -- 20 minutes ago?), fewer RBIs (18) than Reed Johnson (who got called up -- what? -- 15 minutes ago), fewer extra-base hits (12) than Alex Cora and a lower slugging percentage (.278) than Chone Figgins. That's the stuff LVPs are made of. Sighs of relief for: Jeremy Giambi, Jermaine Dye, Ben Grieve, Bobby Higginson.
Edgardo Alfonzo, San Francisco
It's almost impossible to get yourself benched in the first three months of a four-year contract. But Alfonzo did it -- on merit. His batting average (.236) and on-base percentage (.311) are about 100 points lower than his numbers for the 2000 Mets. Which is great compared to his slugging percentage (.340), which is 200 points lower. Believe it or not, his last extra-base hit at home was June 8. Sighs of relief for: Pat Burrell, Shawn Green, Roberto Alomar, Adrian Beltre.
Esteban Loaiza, Chicago
Pedro Martinez (11 starts allowing one earned run or none) is still the best pitcher in the American League. But thanks to his dependable bullpen committeemen, he has six wins. Tim Hudson (whose team is 16-4 when he starts) has probably pitched every bit as well as Loaiza. But thanks to The Curse of Keith Foulke, Hudson has seven wins. So for now, we'll shakily hand this half-trophy to Loaiza, who has already tied his career high in wins (11) and has given up one earned run or none 11 times -- as many as in his previous 54 starts combined. Bear in mind that Loaiza has never had a second-half ERA lower than 3.62. (Of course, he never had a FIRST-half ERA under 4.04.) But the only AL pitchers in the last 25 years who have had a lower full-season ERA than Loaiza's current 2.21 ERA were Pedro, Roger Clemens and Bret Saberhagen. So how the heck did Loaiza worm his way into a group like that? Apologies to: Roy Halladay, Jamie Moyer, Mark Mulder, Martinez, Hudson.
Jason Schmidt, San Francisco
For 10 starts, Kevin Brown was the best pitcher out there. But now that Brown has lost three in a row, it's hard not to notice that, over the ENTIRE first half, Schmidt has outpitched him in just about every category but wins. They're virtually tied in ERA. But Schmidt leads the league in shutouts (3), complete games (5), opponent batting average (.200) and baserunners per inning. He has pitched into the eighth inning eight times. Brown has done that only three times -- and hasn't thrown a complete game in 44 consecutive starts. So it's a close, close call. But Schmidt has been every bit the dominator Brown has been -- and stayed out there longer. Apologies to: Brown, Mark Prior, Woody Williams, Eric Gagne, John Smoltz, Dontrelle Willis.
Chris George, Kansas City
The easy choice here would be to pick a Tiger, just because half their staff is on the road to 20 losses. But that's TOO easy. What's hard is to pick a guy with nine wins (three more than PEDRO) and a WINNING record (9-6). But George isn't your typical nine-game winner. He's a nine-game winner with a 7.11 ERA. And no pitcher in history has ever won nine games, had a winning record and had an ERA that high. The current record-holder is Harry Staley, who went 12-10, 6.81 for those 1894 Boston Beaneaters. So our pal Brian Kingman isn't the only pitching legend whose place in trivia history is under assault this year. Sighs of relief for: Adam Bernero (traded to Colorado), Jay Powell, Joe Mays and Albie Lopez (wherever he is).
Glendon Rusch, Milwaukee
Somebody probably should have seen this coming, considering Rusch is in his seventh big-league season, he's never had a winning record and he has the second-lowest career winning percentage (42-75, .359) of any pitcher with this many decisions in the last 50 years (behind only Jesse Jefferson's .325). But Rusch has had a vintage Cy Yuck year, going 1-11, 8.61, and even holding onto his league lead in losses and earned runs allowed despite spending 2½ weeks in the minor leagues. Not quite what the Brewers had in mind when they traded Jeromy Burnitz for him. Sighs of relief for: Ryan Dempster, Jose Jimenez, Luis Vizcaino.
Hideki Matsui, New York
By the time Rocco Baldelli played his first high school baseball game, "Godzilla" Matsui had already made more than 3,000 visits to home plate and 266 home-run trots for the Yomiuiri Giants. So it's almost farcical to think of Matsui as a "rookie" in the same way Baldelli is a "rookie." But the rules are the rules. So in a season in which we have two rookies with this many hits (at least 106 each) at the all-star break for the first time since Warren Cromartie and Bob Bailor in 1977, it's hard not to pick Matsui. He leads Baldelli in every major offensive category except stolen bases, triples and career quahogs eaten. Apologies to: Baldelli, Mike MacDougal.
Dontrelle Willis, Florida
He's not a rookie. He's a miracle. We're not allowed to count Nielsen ratings when we compute a guy's rookie-of-the-year credentials. But this guy actually outrated "Law and Order" in South Florida in his last prime-time start. He's only the third pitcher this young since 1934 to win eight of his first 10 big-league starts. (The others, according to the Elias Sports Bureau: Fernando Valenzuela and Mark Fidrych.) And think about this: Eight different opening-day starters have allowed 10 runs in a game this year. Willis has beamed in from Double-A to allow six runs in his last 10 starts put together. Apologies to: Brandon Webb, Brad Lidge, Horacio Ramirez.
Tony Pena, Kansas City; and Bobby Cox, Atlanta
No team has ever gone from 100 losses to a playoff spot. But Pena has been a tidal wave of positivity for a team that hasn't had anything to be positive about since George Brett retired. Meanwhile, Cox's team lost four of its five starting pitchers, spun its bullpen through the Cuisinart and brought back essentially the same lineup that finished 10th in the league in runs scored last year. And he's still found a whole new way to do what his teams have always done -- win. Apologies to: Bob Melvin, Frank Robinson, Felipe Alou.

|The Lungau holiday region is a hiking paradise in Salzburg. Whether families or seniors, whether casual hikers or hiking experts, there's the right hiking destination to suit everyone!
Nestled between the Niedere Tauern and the Nockberge mountain ranges, nearly 60 mountain lakes are waiting to be discovered by you. More than 60 ski lodges, alpine huts and mountain guest houses invite you to stop off and spoil yourself with regional specialties.
The spicy-aromatic air at altitude, an alpine meadow landscape with a colourful spread of plants and herbs, as well as the calming beauty of nature turn hiking into an experience that offers pure pleasure and relaxation.
Thanks to the excellent accessibility to the Lungau provided by the public transport system and the valley bus, you can quite comfortably leave your car at your accommodation for the length of your holiday in Mauterndorf.
Lungau alpine summer
A very special appreciation of nature on a summer holiday in Mauterndorf
"In the Lungau the alpine meadow starts in the valley" is a very popular saying, which is true. The entire Lungau in Salzburg lies at about 1,000 m above sea level, Mauterndorf lies at 1,122 m and, on average, the mountains rise to 2,500 m.
|About 60 mountain lakes, dreamy pools in the landscape, crystal clear and luminous, ranging from emerald green to shimmering silver, are scattered over green meadows, quiet basins or lie nestled under rocks and peaks.
Is it possible to become addicted to these moments of happiness? Yes, as it happens! For nature's jewels come into their own. The joy of discovering a mountain lake gives rise to the desire and curiosity to find the next one. An extensive network of carefully marked paths, which enthuse not only tried and tested walkers and practised mountain climbers but also long distance ramblers, those seeking escape from stress, those enjoying a pilgrimage through nature and those who are simply looking for happiness, offer hiking tours for every mood on every day.
|All the hikes detailed in the "LUNGAUER ALMSOMMER" brochure (Lungau alpine summer) do not present any extreme challenges but follow the motto "alpine summer". This means that in addition to the countryside with its picture-perfect views and vistas, also included is the delight of discovery when coming across quiet, hidden beauty, the flora, the geology and the old customs and traditions.
Accompanying this is a well laid-out infrastructure with public transport and valley bus, theme trails, nature trails, as well as welcoming hosts in the alpine huts and shelters, alpine inns, cafés and mountain restaurants. The Lungau alpine summer will impress you with its service and comes out top for its friendliness and the specialities of its traditional cuisine.

Hikes on the Grosseck-Speiereck adventure mountain
For leisurely hikers & trail blazers
|The local mountain for Mauterndorf in the Lungau, the Grosseck-Speiereck adventure mountain, is a very diverse ski area in winter and a wonderful hiking region in summer.
You can climb up the mountain on foot in about two and a half hours from the valley following the old Liftweg, the old Trogweg path or by taking the Forstweg, the forest path, from Mauterndorf ski centre, or ride up the mountain more leisurely with the cable car.
The Grosseck-Speiereck adventure mountain is famous for its breath-taking panorama.
Hiking tips for the Grosseck-Speiereck mountain
Let yourself be enchanted by the picturesque landscape!
Trogalmseen (lakes at 1.808 m)
The Trogalmseen are a very popular hiking destination. These artificial lakes have been incorporated harmoniously into the landscape. From the gondola cable car mountain station, a circular hiking trail leads to the Trogalmseen and takes about one hour.
Stopping off points:
Trogalm (1.808 m)
From the gondola cable car mountain station take the Forststrasse down to the Trogalm mountain hut. Walking time about 20 minutes. You'll also pass the Trogalmseen.
Stopping off points:
Grosseck (2.074 m) - Speiereck Hütte (2.066 m)
From the gondola cable car mountain station follow the Forststrasse upwards to the Speiereck Hütte mountain hut. Walking time about 20 minutes. This is on the Grosseck, where a transmitting station is also located.
Stopping off points:
Speiereck (2.411 m)
From the gondola cable car mountain station take the Forststrasse up to the Speiereck Hütte mountain hut on the Grosseck. From there, follow the signposts, which will lead you up the gradient to the peak of the Speiereck. The descent leads back down to the Trogalm. After this, follow the Forststrasse upwards a short way, past the Trogalmseen, in order to return to the Grosseck cable car mountain station, the starting point of your approximate 3-hour circular hike.
Stopping off points:
Hiking in and around Mauterndorf
The Lungau holiday region is attractive for its wide variety of hiking tours
| The historical town of Mauterndorf offers a diverse range of signposted hiking and walking trails. The various hikes and walks range from one-hour walks around the town to day trips in the surrounding area, often passing interesting cultural and historical places of interest.
The municipality lies on the edge of another valley, so you have a choice between hikes along the flat or steeper terrain.
Hiking maps are available from Mauterndorf Tourist Information Office.
Hiking tips in and around Mauterndorf
Leisurely strolls & interesting day trips
A walk to the ski centre in Mauterndorf
From the historical centre of town go to the Church of St. Wolfgang and then follow Trail No. 7b through the Tranningwald (Tranning forest) to the Grosseck cable car valley station in the Mauterndorf ski centre. Whilst the grown-ups fortify themselves with coffee and cakes on the sunny terrace of the Schi Alm Restaurant, children can make use of the play facilities at the SMARTY Land children's world.
To return, take Trail No. 44 to Mauterndorf Castle, you should plan to pay a visit to the old toll castle in any event.
This circular walk will take you about one hour.
The airport circular trail
From the historical centre of town, follow the direction towards the Taurachbahn station, the highest altitude narrow gauge railway in Austria, which offers steam locomotive journeys in summer. Shortly before you reach the station, turn left and take Trail No. 13 towards the glider airfield. A short stop at the highest altitude alpine airfield in Austria is always interesting, with luck an aeroplane will just be starting or landing and you can experience the fascination of flying close up.
Follow the Taurach river until Steindorf Moos. A few hundred metres further along, in Steindorf, turn left and take Trail No. 11 back to Mauterndorf. After passing the Church of St. Gertrauden, after about one and a half hours you'll once again have reached the starting point of your hike.
Moserkopf mountain hike
The Möserkopf, which is situated north of Mauterndorf, is an unassuming mountain with a fantastically clear view. From Mauterndorf, the trail takes you past Mauterndorf Castle to the Stampfl neighbourhood of town. This is where circular Trail No. 46 begins, which takes you up to the peak at 1,896 metres and then brings you back down to the starting point of the hike. Walking time is about 5 hours.

Treasury prices rose Monday as the two houses of Congress voted on a deal reached between President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders to raise the nation's borrowing limit ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
A report released Monday also showed a slowdown in U.S. manufacturing, which led to a pullback from riskier assets like stocks. That sent Treasury prices higher.
The Institute of Supply Management said U.S. manufacturing barely grew last month, raising fears that the economy will slow down further in the second half of the year.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.75 percent Monday, an eight-month low. That's down from 2.80 percent late Friday. Its price rose 31.2 cents for every $100 invested.
The manufacturing slowdown followed other weak economic reports. Last week, the government reported the U.S. economic growth in the first half of 2011 was the weakest since the recession ended two years ago.
Bonds rise when investors expect the economy to be soft.
The yield on the 30-year bond fell to 4.08 percent from 4.12 percent late Friday. Its price jumped 65.6 cents per $100 invested.
In the market for Treasury bills, the yield on the 3-month bill fell to .07 percent from .09 percent. Its discount was 0.08 percent.

When we first got together, we would communicate by text constantly, at least 15 texts between us everyday. We would talk twice a week. Last week, we talked on the phone everyday, even though I was away on holiday. Now that I'm back, he doesn't respond to my texts and sometimes he doesn't pick up my calls or calls back 24 hours later. I spent the night with him on Thursday and he told me that we need to start trusting each other and that he wants us to be exclusive. He called me on Friday but I was asleep and didn't pick up. I tried to return his call the next day but he didn't pick up. I finally texted him last night telling him his lack of communication is worrying me and that I just needed to know that he's alright. He responded saying he was with family and would call me when he's free. Today is Sunday afternoon - still no word from him! WHY? Have I done something wrong? We've been together for a month and a half.
What does it mean when he stops calling?

Hmmm... you're relationship doesn't sound normal. It's too much texts and phone calls, but not enough face-to-face time. It seems to me that he disappears whenever he's preoccupied with anything. The fact that he can't involve you in his life is a very terrible sign.00|00|0
You know what, you make a good point about not being involved in his life much but I do see him once a week because I live in London and he lives by the seaside so the distance is an issue. What's your advice? I have trust issues and he knows this. Do you think I should call him? And what should I say to him?
If I were you, I'd start building emotional distance between the 2 of us, rather than chase him down for answers. If he turns around and makes the extra effort to show his affections, great. If not, then you have your answer. Too many men keep their women on leashes by using this type of cyber contact. In fact, I know many men who use this ploy to keep multiple women!
This 'relationship' sounds very suspect. You see each other once a week and text most of the time. If he really misses you then nothing and no-one will stand in his way to 'see' u. Trust me love /lust or even just infatuation makes a person climb mountains and swim oceans. Taking a long distance drive to wherever to see you should not be an issue. Personally, I think he's playing u. Sorry GF, but you need to get rid of him or make him ur booty call.00|00|0

that one we've been hearing about forever. Or, maybe what makes this announcement incredible is the announcement of two games at once!? Hmm.... I wonder what other rumored game with a very authentic-looking trailer they might be thinking of announcing...
The team is playing this coy, and they're not letting slip exactly what their super-secret event is about yet. The users on the facebook event, however, don't seem fooled, and personally neither am I!
Well, I shall sit here pondering these latest developments, but not before I give you this link to the Facebook event (courtesy of Zeldie aka Seotheria) - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149952015066988 . Rest assured that The Sims Wiki will have members at this event as well, ready to document all the developments!
Also, there's a HUGE sale going on at the EA store - 33% off The Sims 3 and any of its expansion or stuff packs, for those of you who haven't bought all of them yet. The caveats; the sale only applies this weekend, only in the United States and Canada, and only on digital downloads, not physical purchases. Take this link to go shopping!
Happy Simming!

How to create a form that has the ability to collect payments and set deadlinesAsked by lubeznikcenter on January 31, 2017 at 05:58 PM
I want to set up a temporary open call to artists with a specific theme that has a submission deadline. I also want to have an outside juror select the work! How do I set it up for the juror to view submissions? We are also charging a $35.00 entry fee, may we set-up a link on the form to our square so artists can pay the entry fee?
Your assistance in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
JotForm Support
The form can be accessed by your potential respondents through its direct link. You can get your form's direct link and pass it to your respondents.
Or you can also, embed the form on your website.
May we know how are you planning to collect the payments? Is it upfront? through credit card? or through any other payment gateways, like PayPal, Authorize.Net, Dwolla etc...
You can use any of our Payment Integration to collect payments.

Adidas is a brand that has been trusted for decades now with their classic line of running shoes. The new Adidas Adizero Boston 3 is the latest in this range, and holds up well to these high standards that Adidas is known for. With a light weight and a variety of technological details to help these shoes conform to your feet naturally, there are many uses that you can apply these shoes to. When trying them out, I liked several features in particular, such as their lightness and the springy material that they are composed out of. They have a low profile, which helps you feel the road and improve your speed.
Adidas has put some evident time and research into these shoes, and they have a number of features that are worth mentioning.
There have been many positive reactions to these shoes, which are expertly designed by the professionals at Adidas. Pros of the shoes include the fact that they are so lightweight, so that you hardly feel that you have them on, allowing you to make the most of your run. They also have firm cushioning, giving you added stability as you are on your run. With a low profile, they have an excellent road feel. What I liked the most about these was how natural they were, as this is a seemingly effortless shoe.
In terms of cons or disadvantages, there were very few that have been mentioned by other reviewers. Some didn't like the colors of the Adidas Adizero Boston 3, and a few had problems with the fit because of the light weight. Yet for the most part, these are a big hit. They are recommended for neutral runners, as well as those who are looking for a shoe appropriate for long distance racing.
