THE very best wordsmiths will be going head-to-head at an eccentric rural festival this summer.
Organisers of Nozstock: The Hidden Valley are seeking entries for their Nozslam 2014 competition which presents performance poetry with a playful competitive edge.
Budding linguists can send their three-and-a-half minute videos to email@example.com by 5pm on Sunday, May 25 and the submitted entries will be uploaded to the festival's YouTube channel to allow the public to have their say.
A panel of judges will pick their four favourites from the top 10 and they will each receive free tickets to the event at Rowden Paddocks, Bromyard, and a performance slot in the Tent of Temporary Thought.
The overall winner will also get a pair of tickets to next year's festival along with a performance slot and a number of other Nozstock goodies and perks.
This year's festival runs from Friday to Sunday, August 1-3 with a prehistoric-style Jurassic Farm theme.

WHENEVER Swindon Town hire a new manager, as they are sometimes inclined to do, the immediate reaction of the avid fan formerly known as Dave Clark is not to agonise over what players the boss is likely to sign up or wonder whether he will go for a different formation or switch tactics.
No, his first thought is: "Better ring the tattooist." Dave – whose legal name is Swindon Town Dave – has the moniker of every Robins' manager since the year of his birth in 1961 tattooed over his body.
While the ink is still drying on the new manager's contract another form of ink is usually being applied to a vacant corner of flesh somewhere on Dave at the Swindon studio of his tattooist pal Frank.
"I don't hang about sometimes," he says. "I get it done the very next day."
The names of 26 STFC managers – including Danny Williams and Andy King, who have had the job twice – adorn Dave's lightly-framed physique.
Some of them, such as Paul Hart, Colin Todd, Kevin MacDonald and Roy Evans, who only stayed at the club a few months and whose contributions were perhaps less than dynamic, may well be surprised to learn they have been commemorated in such imperishable fashion.
But Royal Mail worker Dave, 52, remains unabashed.
"It's just something I've done – something to show commitment to the club I love," he insists.
Swindon-born Dave, who lives in Eldene, has been watching Town since he was seven when his late father Alfred started taking him to the County Ground.
His passion hit a crescendo during the triumphant season of 1985/86 when Lou Macari dramatically led Town back into the Third Division, winning the Fourth with a Football League record of 102 points.
Dave was among the 2,000 noisy Town fans who headed down the M1 to cram into Mansfield's modest premises for the 1-1 draw that bagged the title.
Such was his joy that it prompted Dave to mark the occasion in ink at a time when tattoos were not, as they are nowadays, part and parcel of popular culture.
"It's still my favourite I think," says Dave displaying his 'Lou Macari is God' tat around the old 'ST' crest on his left arm.
This was joined, over the years, by numerous examples of electric needlework acknowledging Town milestones, including occasional promotions and the thrilling 4-3 victory over Leicester to achievement Premiership status in 1993.
Then he went for the big one and had a monster version of the diamond shaped green and red crest that served as the club's badge at the time forever emblazoned in ink across his back.
"It cost me £200," he recalls.
A few years later Swindon Town FC, with scant regard for Dave's anatomy, changed their crest to a more traditional one showing a robin and a train along with the town's motto 'Salubritas et Industria' (healthy and industrious).
Dave's response was to swiftly acquire a permanent copy on his torso and now he now boasts three different Swindon Town crests (on his arm, back and chest.) At some stage he also decided to "get the set" and had the names of all the other managers since his birth indelibly stamped.
As Town have a habit of switching chief coaches on a fairly regular basis – just over one every two years since Dave was born – it is comforting to know that he can still make room for a few more.
Despite some questionable performances from a few Swindon managers Dave, who has spent around £1,000 on Town tats, doesn't regret any of them.
With the possible exception of one, that is. The only inscription that rankles reads 'Andy King.' Nine years ago Dave was interviewed on the telly at the Swindon training ground about his name change (see panel.) The TV people asked King, Town's manager at the time, what he thought of such a singular and extravagant act of dedication and his response was less than endearing to Dave.
"He said something sarcastic, which annoyed me." Clearly, it still does.
"I thought he was really arrogant and out-of-order. So in a way I resent having Andy King's name tattooed on my back… but there you go."
Meanwhile, Dave is showing myself and photographer Alex Skennerton some of his other Town related tattoos. One of them looks very familiar.
"That appeared in the Advertiser a few years ago. I thought 'that's nice – I'll have that'," he says, pointing to our 'Swindon and Proud' logo that is now immortalised on Dave's left pectoral.
Despite his somewhat abrupt and rapid departure last year, another of Dave's favourites is on his right arm, 'Di Canio STFC Div 2 Champions 2012' following Paolo's headline-packed 18 months at the County Ground.
Rolling up his tracksuit bottoms, just above his Swindon Town slippers, Dave reveals another Town-themed emblem on his right calf. It is an image of the ace of clubs next to the initials 'STFC.' "That's what we are," beams Dave, "Ace of Clubs."
Havingspent the best part of four hours on the coach we are stretching our legs and eager for a drop of alcoholic beverage.
Somebody says "They've got a nice little bar at the ground" so we toddle off to Victoria Park, home of Hartlepool United, and queue up to enter The Corner Flag.
In front of me, paying his 50p admission, is Dave Clark wearing customary Swindon Town shirt.
But he doesn't sign himself in as Dave Clark.
He signs himself Swindon Town Dave.
"Great idea," I say to my son, who is standing in front of me. "You can be Swindon Town Conor."
"No" says Dave, turning around abruptly, "that really is my name."
Suddenly Dave is whipping something out of his pocket – it is a letter saying that he has changed his name by deed poll.
The missive contains official confirmation of this fact; it arrived the day before the arduous trip to Hartlepool in April, 2005.
Being a journalist who thinks he knows a story when he sees one, I corner Dave in The Corner Flag and, over several passable pints of northern beer, he tells me all about it.
"I'd been thinking about it for ages," says the ardent Town fan who eight years earlier named his son from a previous relationship, Robin (the club's nickname.) After much deliberation he finally took the plunge and, using his employers' solicitors, paid £50 for the identity change to Swindon Town Dave in deference to the club he loves.
"I'm really pleased with my new name. It's great. But it feels a bit weird at the moment. I love the sound of it but I haven't really got used to it yet," he says at the time.
Having already taken a bit of a ribbing from his mates he adds: "I love the club and Swindon Town Dave will always be my name."
The resultant publicity saw Dave interviewed on regional TV while the story made it into the pages of several national newspapers.
Today he is largely known around town as Swindon Town Dave. And if anyone doubts him then he has the passport to prove it.
These are the 26 Town managers – or 28 if you count two spells by Danny Williams and Andy King – since Dave was born:
- Bert Head (1956-1965)
- Danny Williams (1965-1969)

Special to The Ukiah Daily Journal
Students in Willits might not realize it, but they belong to a school district that has been busy breaking ground in the local food movement. Over the past several years, the Willits Unified School District has changed the way it feeds its students.
WUSD Food Service Director Christy Wisdom has been leading the charge to increase healthy, whole, and local foods served in the school's cafeterias. Wisdom and her dedicated team partnered with the Farm2Fork project of North Coast Opportunities?Community Action in February 2012, and together they have continued to reshape the face of food in WUSD.
A piece of the puzzle has been missing for many involved in food services at WUSD, however. In 2006, a revolutionary idea was born at Brookside Elementary: what if available public property on school grounds could be used to grow food for the school and community at large?
The idea was warmly embraced, and the one-acre Brookside Farm was born under the vision and hard work of Jason Bradford. His goal was to design a productive demonstration farm that could both feed and educate the people it served. After six successful seasons that included a popular CSA program, funding for the garden ran out in the winter of 2012. The land has been fallow ever since.
The now-empty garden represents the loss of a successful program, but it also provides a unique opportunity for WUSD to continue its trend of thinking outside the box. After months of discussions and strategic planning, WUSD, in partnership with the Farm2Fork project of North Coast Opportunities?Community Action, announced a new plan for the future of Brookside Farm.?
The school district, in short, wants to "license" the land, essentially granting permission to operate a farm on the property. Proposals are being accepted from experienced farmers, businesses, and non-profits who are interested in operating Brookside Farm. The chosen applicant will be asked to sign a 3-year license agreement, with the stipulation that at least 15 percent of the garden must be dedicated to growing food for the school. The farm also has to remain accessible for educational activities.
Brookside Farm already has significant infrastructure that the operator will have full access to, including a hoop house, vegetable washing station, rainwater catchment system, solar power, tools, and equipment.?
Water will also be supplied, rounding out what is an already appealing package for many farmers. Beyond these equipment and water provisions, the operator will be fully responsible for all expenses and for generating income from the land.
"This is a unique opportunity," says Susan Lightfoot, Farm2Fork Coordinator. "It's a great fit for someone with production experience and people skills, a passion for healthy local food, a commitment to community-based agriculture, and a love of children." It might sound like a tall order, but for the right person or organization, Brookside Farm has the potential to be both a community asset as well as a profitable business.
Proposals must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30.?Anyone interested should contact Lightfoot at?(707) email@example.com.

Southwestern students may find the clinic application, Immigration Appeals Practicum application and other details on MySouthwestern (log-in required).
Sample Law Student Application - for reference only (PDF)
Southwestern's Immigration Law Clinic provides free legal representation to low-income children and adults in Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) (clients under the age of 21), Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and U visa cases. The Clinic is staffed by law students who represent clients under the supervision of Professors Andrea Ramos and Julia Vázquez. Throughout the class, students will learn many facets of professional responsibility such as client confidentiality, responsiveness to client demands and accountability for their work.
"By working with real clients in real cases, students will learn to appreciate the value of public service and the importance of access to justice for low-income clients and underserved communities.- Professor Andrea RamosDirector of the Immigration Law Clinic
What is Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)?
SIJS is a way for certain undocumented children to obtain lawful permanent resident status (a green card). A child may be eligible for SIJS if she is under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court, placed in the custody of a state agency or department, or placed in the custody of an individual (e.g. a guardian), and whose reunification with one or both parents is not viable due to abuse, neglect, abandonment or a similar basis under state law. The juvenile court must determine that it is in the minor's best interest to remain in the United States and not be returned to her home country. The child must be under the age of 21 (at the time the application is filed) and not married. There are additional requirements.*
What is the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)?
VAWA allows certain immigrants who are victims of domestic violence and are the spouse or child of a U.S. citizen (USC) or lawful permanent resident (LPR/green card holder), or abused parent of a USC son or daughter (21 or over) to self-petition for lawful immigration status. The VAWA applicant must have been subjected to battery or extreme cruelty by the USC spouse, parent, or son or daughter, or the LPR spouse or parent. There are additional requirements.*
What is the U visa?
The U visa is available to non-citizens who suffer substantial physical or mental abuse as a result of having been a victim of certain criminal activity. To be eligible for a U visa, the victim must possess information concerning the criminal activity and be helpful in the investigation or prosecution of the crime. The victim must obtain a certification from a "certifying agency" certifying his helpfulness in the investigation or prosecution. The crime must be a violation of a law of the United States or occurred in the United States. There are additional requirements.*
The Clinic is a semester course; it is five units and graded (20% of the grade will be based on class attendance and participation in classroom discussion and 80% of the grade will be based on performance on casework and community work, including relationship with clients, lawyering, research and writing and office management).

Nats' Soriano does quick work in Grapefruit debut
VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals reliever Rafael Soriano threw a quick seventh inning against the Astros on Tuesday, recording one strikeout in his Grapefruit League debut.
Soriano got a little help from catcher Kurt Suzuki and, perhaps, the Space Coast Stadium ballpark dimensions in the inning that lasted just 12 pitches. He threw seven strikes.
Soriano faced Justin Maxwell to lead off the inning, who hit his 1-0 offering well, about 400 feet to deep center field, before Corey Brown brought it in for the first out.
J.D. Martinez then singled on a grounder past a diving Zach Walters at shortstop, but was gunned down by Suzuki trying to steal. Soriano retired the next hitter, Robbie Grossman, swinging to end the inning.
"He's a character, to say the least," manager Davey Johnson said of Soriano. "He knows what he needs to do to get ready. He threw the ball good. He was a little frustrated that we had all those rallies. He was ready to go. He said he was down there throwing knuckleballs and stuff trying to kill some time."
Soriano, 33, was acquired by the Nationals this winter to be the team's new closer despite an already-loaded bullpen that includes Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard, who both have experience closing games.
Johnson said that Soriano will probably make about eight appearances this spring.
"He's been throwing several [live bullpen sessions], and he's been throwing good," Johnson said. "He knows what he needs to do to get ready."

17 August 2012
I think most Tigers fans were planning on being in coast mode at this time of the year. Predicted by many to be the runaway favorites in the American League Central, the division was supposed to be all but locked up once late August and September rolled around; the only question was whether or not they'd also finish with the best record in the entire American League.
But the baseball season often doesn't unfold as anticipated. The Tigers dug themselves a nice hole with a horrible month of May, and the Chicago White Sox, fuelled by the resurgence of Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, and Jake Peavy, the arrival of Chris Sale in the rotation, and a career year from A.J. Pierzynski, have lead the way in the division for much of the season.
Detroit was supposed to be a premier offensive club, but many of their break-out hitters have fizzled. A season ago, Alex Avila, Jhonny Peralta*, Brennan Boesch, Ryan Raburn, and Delmon Young combined for 13.1 WAR (as reported by FanGraphs). This season, those same five players have combined for 1.6 WAR. The White Sox, on the other hand, were supposed to be an also-ran in the division, but have found resurgence in quite a few places. In 2011, Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, A.J. Pierzynski, and Jake Peavy combined for 0.7 WAR. This year, those four players have given the Sox 12.3 WAR. These numbers represent a huge swing in wins from a relatively small number of players.
*I don't want it to sound like I'm saying Avila and Peralta have been bad. They've both been above average, especially when considering their position, but each has taken a step back offensively from last season. Not that we should have necessarily expected them to repeat career-best performances.
But the White Sox haven't been able to run away with the division – at 2.5 games it's the second closest race in baseball – and despite patches of struggle and disappointment, the Tigers have kept themselves in position to claim a Wild Card spot even if they fail to catch Chicago. Entering play this weekend, the Tigers find themselves just a single game behind Tampa Bay and Baltimore (who share identical 64-54 records).
With 12 games left against the Angels, Orioles, and Athletics (all teams within 2.5 games of the Tigers and in competition for the Wild Card spots) and another seven against the White Sox, Detroit will get every opportunity to prove that they're worth of the postseason. And if they can't claim their spot in October against these evenly matched teams, then perhaps the 16 games remaining versus the Twins and Royals will help push them over the top anyway.

Once again, the Republican Party shows just how little it can gauge public sentiment with a new Bloomberg National Poll that shows President Obama's approval rating hitting a three-year high and public approval of the GOP sinking to a three-year low. It should be noted that the same poll found that a plurality of Americans blame the House Republicans for "what's wrong in Washington." You would never know that from how they seem to think they can call the shots in the whole sequestration matter.
Add a new twist to the Bloomberg poll — a new USA Today/Pew Research Center Poll. This latest poll suggests Americans just aren't buying the load of crap the Republicans are selling.
Um, GOP leaders believe they can win the public relations fight on the sequester fiasco, but they are wrong, as usual. They seem to have a really hard time understanding public attitudes, as evidenced from the fact they thought Mitt Romney was going to win by a landslide, when nothing was further from the truth. The reality is that the public is going to hold the Republicans responsible for any undermining of the economy, the military and the public's needs by allowing sequestration to occur. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner like to say they speak for the American people, but do they really? I think not. The two latest polls speak loud and clear on that point. The reality is the sooner the GOP realizes it's in a weak position on the sequester, the quicker we will reach some type of compromise, as President Obama is calling for.

My girls have been coming to Hughes Dance School for 5 years now, my youngest was just 3 when she started. ...
I enrolled my daughters in Hughes "dance school" and the instructor Shelby was very rude! Within 10 minutes she'd made my kids cry (it was the youngest one's birthday too), was very unfriendly and rude, and not encouraging at all. Definitely in the wrong career. I've seen many dance schools and this one is the absolute worst!

We have just joined Showtime HMS for 2016 and my daughter is loving it. There are so many classes to choose from its great - we are doing jazz, ballet, contemporary and musical theatre and may even add tap as Caroline is loving every class! I love that for the concert we only pay a $25 costume hire fee even though Caroline is doing so many classes, at any other dance school we wouldnt be able to afford for her to be doing so much. Im so glad I found Showtime and will be telling all of Caroline's school friends.
This place is great, my kids cant wait to come every week. Next year they are going to be doing extra classes as they enjoy it so much and if they are happy, I am happy! I was so suprised how well they did at the last concert being their first year dancing, I cant wait to see them at the end of year concert and how much they have improved. The whole family will be coming to watch them. Teachers are great, staff are great, other parents and kids are great! A wonderful school!! :) :)
Great environment for kids to learn in - the teachers are fun and really know how to engage the kids so that everyone has a good time. This is the place to be if you want to learn dancing or singing and have fun. Not too strict and very affordable.
Haylee started dancing at Showtime half way through this year and we were so pleased she is able to perform in their end of year concert that it coming up as all the other dance schools we contacted did not want to accept new students so late in the year. Haylee is so excited about the concert and absolutely loves her classes and teachers! Such a great school to be at, we will definitely be recommending to our friends.

One of the more pleasant surprises for me at this year's CPAC was the opportunity to take a closer look at Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a potential POTUS candidate for 2012. It's far too easy to fall for conventional media caricatures of American politicians, particularly for a Yankee like myself thinking of a southerner. Barbour, however, doesn't fit neatly into any preconceived mold.
My first introduction came at a small reception the Governor held for bloggers. He immediately won points with the crowd when he announced that he wasn't going to make anyone sit through two of his speeches in less than 24 hours and delivered a few remarks about the importance of the advent of social media over the days of three network gatekeepers. He then said that, unlike some other politicians, he would give direct answers to any questions we might have in private, announced that the bar was open and the drinks were on him.
My opinion of the gentleman immediately went up another notch. (For the record, I later asked him what he stocked on the bar at home and he replied, "Makers Mark." Not my brand, but a fine, high quality choice in case anyone was wondering.)
Barbour comes across in a very warm, cordial fashion while speaking with respectable authority on subjects ranging from energy policy and second amendment rights to debt, taxes and the economy. (We previously posted a video of the Governor discussing oil drilling and energy independence.)
He went on to give a barn-burner of a speech the next day which had the crowd up on their feet multiple times. (Watch the full speech here.) Barbour's hat may not be officially in the ring yet, but he certainly sounded for all the world like a man with his eyes on the prize and plan to get there.
Of course, Haley faces an uphill climb as do most members of the crowded field jockeying for the inside rail in the 2012 horse race. His name recognition still lags behind some of the celebrity names under discussion, and he faces additional challenges which most of the other candidates don't. One of the more vacuous ones, but worth keeping an eye on, is the meme that a "good old boy" with a southern accent won't play well in the North or on the coasts.
It's not that regional differences don't exist among the electorate. I've already had conversations with some of my Northeastern RINO brethren who, upon hearing Barbour's name, immediately invoke references to "Boss Hogg" and neo-confederate issues. But, as Guy Benson wrote last week at Town Hall, those types of attacks probably won't hold much water for anyone seriously considering the issues.
Further, the Mississippi governor may also carry a few positive factors into the race which some of his competitors lack. With all of the focus on pressing fiscal concerns, some social conservatives are already expressing reservations as to whether or not they're going to be left on the sidelines again like in the 2010 races. Barbour already sat down for an interview with Life News to make it clear that he was a champion for their cause and would not leave those concerns on the sidelines.
It's too early to say exactly how well Haley Barbour will fare in the media wars as he works to establish his brand on a national level. Perception plays a huge role in success at the polls and he's got some work to do in that area. But by the end of the weekend, I found myself agreeing with one woman I spoke with during the Governor's Friday night reception. She said, "if every voter in America could spend five minutes in a small room talking to this guy, he'd probably carry 45 states."
Time will tell.

Free movie? Yes, please
When Southern Methodist University alum Wade McDonald set out to make his debut feature film, the one thing he didn't want to do was make a "typical" gay film: No naked boys as the selling point, no ridiculous gay-angst drama, no coming-out story. McDonald loves romantic comedies and wanted to make his own — just with men.
His plan worked. The result, Hold Your Peace, seems to have resonated with audiences.

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Class III prices on Friday continued to climb early on, but were more subdued following a spot session that had the same pattern as most of the week's activity. Unchanged offers on both the block and the barrel opened the session, but prices were then offered lower to 2.1450. Then, the buyers stepped in and pushed the price right back up to unchanged on 4 total trades. An offer was remaining on both the blocks and the barrels to close out the day and that left futures to trade mostly mixed on strong volume nearly reaching 1,500 trades.
It is now a question of who will whittle away whom in the spot market. On one hand, the fact that over 100 loads of block cheese came to the exchange in July is not overtly bullish — there is block cheese available. On the other hand, buyers have been resolute to not let block prices slip too far behind the seemingly tighter barrel market situation, which has not yet be solved. We expect to wade these choppy waters here again today. But the longer the prices stay on the defensive — rather than advance to the $2.20 level — the more vulnerable prices may become to the downside.
Last week, the Aug to Dec pack average gained 20 cents on the week to close at 19.63 continuing to set fresh new highs. This week, we will get a good bit of new info with dairy products this afternoon, the GDT tomorrow and the bi-weekly international prices on Thursday. The market will be watching all of them, looking to gauge potential demand interest, and weather will once again be a concern with temperatures and humidity at production curbing levels early this week for the Midwest. Forecasts show more moderate temperatures by mid-week.
Cheese futures Friday were mostly quiet with just 11 trades occurring electronically and prices were steady to +0.032 cents as 2012 months were posting the gains on the day. 90 additional contracts were traded via EFR 15 contracts per month from Jan through June 2012 as interest in cheese futures continues to increase in deferred contracts. The Aug through Dec pack average closed the week at 1.9422 up 0.0066 from the previous week and the fourth straight week of gains.
We look for Class III to open slightly higher.
Grain prices plummeted on Friday as poor equities and outside markets weighed as well as continued rains for the Midwest. The market has a very tough job to do right now in terms of quantifying the impact of the heat seen across the Midwest and its impact on final demand. As we said earlier, temperatures are expected to moderate back to a more normal level in many of the near-term forecasts. Most important, the driest southeastern Corn Belt could see better rainfall in the late part of the 6-10 day and then better chances in the 11-15 day outlook. This region, however, is not expected to see the soaking rains it needs.
Ethanol demand may be under assault as U.S. gasoline demand wanes amid higher prices at the pump. U.S. gasoline demand averaged nearly 8.8 million barrels/day for May — down almost 5% vs. last year, a decade low for the month. The drop speaks to the true impact, both psychological and real, of $4 per gallon gasoline. Gas prices are now lower than May's numbers but not by much. With a fresh dose of poor weekly corn exports, demand numbers are looking more and more like the USDA will be forced to move targets lower. We will get private estimates this week ahead of next Tuesday's USDA report.
We look for corn to open 7 to 9 cents higher and soybeans to open 12 to 15 higher.
Daily CME spot market prices:
Block cheese: $2.155 (unchanged)
Barrel cheese: $2.13 (unchanged)
Butter: $2.10 (up 0.5 cent)
Grade A NFDM: $1.51 (down 1.5 cents)

Laying Groundwork for Facebook and Apple
Two tech giants are due to roll out earnings this month: Apple (AAPL) is scheduled after the bell on Jan. 23, and Facebook (FB) is set for Jan. 30, also after market close. It is too early to make technical predictions based on the charts, but it isn't too early to start laying the groundwork for some trades.
The Facebook chart does offer a bit of insight. However, we have all of January to go before we'll hear from The Hoodie, so this pattern will clearly change. Based on the current formation, the stock has already fallen out of a flag and successfully tested $25, which was expected in mid-December. Now it faces $28, which is a major test for the both bulls and the bears....619 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

HOUSTON - Investigators are again looking into a house fire after a man's body was found inside a day after the flames were extinguished.
The fire destroyed a home on Loch Bend near Hilton View in northwest Harris County on Christmas Day.
Firefighters said they didn't find a victim during their search after the fire.
On Wednesday, a family member went to the home and found the man's body under three to five feet of debris.
"When they got inside the house, they smelled some type of odor, started digging around inside and that's when they found the victim," said Lt. Chad Shaw of the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office.
Shaw said firefighters found the house filled from floor to ceiling with furniture and other items, but they did not find anyone inside.
Neighbor Justin Lewis said he heard that the home was a mess.
"You know the show 'Hoarders'? It was kind of like that," Lewis said.
The deceased man's name has not been released. Investigators said they believe the man may have died from smoke inhalation.
Detectives said the home did not have electricity or heat. They said it is possible that he was using candles to stay warm. The exact cause of the fire is under investigation.

"You'd see a net reduction in the number of billboards in Marion County," said John Kisiel, Clear Channel's vice president of real estate and public affairs.
Digital billboards have been growing in popularity across the country since 2007, when the Federal Highway Administration issued guidance on their use.
Indiana passed a law that year allowing digital billboards in areas where they aren't banned, and the state Department of Transportation drew up rules the following year.
Digital billboards have appeared in other central Indiana counties since then. Clear Channel also has digital billboards at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, which was able to skirt the city's ban in 2010 because it is state-owned property.
"If you go down Fall Creek (Parkway), you see that big ol' digital billboard," said Democratic City-County Councilor Joe Simpson, one of two sponsors for the measure to remove traditional billboards when digital versions are put up. "The thing I love about it, it's very friendly."
The city's 2003 ban on digital billboards stems from concerns about safety and digital clutter. It prohibits advertising signs with flashing lights, animated images and video.
Simpson said he thinks digital billboard messages are easy to read from a distance and likes that they often include information about weather conditions.
Simpson said he is willing to lobby the Metropolitan Development Commission, which would have to approve any zoning change. The nine-member board rejected a 2008 attempt by Lamar Outdoor Advertising to install two digital billboards in Lawrence.
Simpson said new Department of Metropolitan Development Director Adam Thies is "way more open" to considering the proposal.
Thies said he'll meet with industry representatives but hasn't formed an opinion on the issue.
"The only reason I'm looking at it is it's a topic that's been brought up by many people, and I'm doing due diligence to get myself informed," Thies said.
Margaret Lloyd, vice chairwoman of Scenic America, said the industry's proposal to take down some existing billboards in exchange for digital ones is a common strategy that has gained approval in some cities. Others, including Austin, Fort Worth and Houston in Texas, have stuck by their ban, she said.
"It's really a public policy decision of what you want your city to look like," said Lloyd, whose anti-billboard group sued the Federal Highway Administration last month, alleging its 2007 guidance to states violated lighting standards set out in the 1965 Highway Beautification Act.
Urban design expert Bruce Race said the offer to take down existing signs might appeal to city leaders because it's difficult to remove billboards from urban neighborhoods. Landlords often earn more rent from billboards than buildings, he said.
But the city risks creating a "blank slate" for the industry if it doesn't think carefully about where to allow digital billboards and what image they want to project along busy roads, added Race, an associate professor in Ball State University's College of Architecture and Planning.
Prime locations could include the area around Lucas Oil Stadium, he said.
"We need a strategy that connects to our other objectives," Race said.
Industry lobbyists like Kisiel say digital billboards can be cheaper for advertisers because they share the space and can change messages on short notices, which can help in cases such as missing-child alerts.
But he acknowledged that not everyone will be persuaded.
"There are people who don't like billboards and are not going to like billboards," he said.

Today will naturally bring commentary about how the future political landscape will affect the investment climate. Last night, the U.S. re-elected the incumbent president, who campaigned on a platform of higher taxes for the wealthy, higher capital gains taxes and other measures that are often perceived as unfriendly to the free market capitalist. So, here is how you adopt your investment decision-making over the next four years.
Don't change a thing.
Every couple of years, I go back and do a self-assessment of all the investments I have made for Gad Partners Fund, my no-asset-management-fee hedge fund. This self-assessment enables me to better understand my decision-making process, and that bodes well for me as an investor and for my clients. After all, shame on me if I repeat the same mistakes. What I find is that value (what I pay to own an asset), a strong balance sheet, and shareholder-aligned management are crucial. When I don't overpay and avoid a highly indebted business run by a shareholder-friendly management team, more than 90% of my investments are profitable.
In October 2011, I mentioned the merits of small-cap insurance company Homeowners Choice (HCI) and why it was a bargain. Shares were around $7, 80% of book value, and it was one of the most profitable insurance companies in Florida as measured by the combined ratio. Today, shares are floating around $21, a tidy 200% return. I was lucky and I managed to get out around $23 after buying for less than $7.
At the beginning of this year, I panned Bank of America (BAC) as my high-conviction investment seeing how shares dropped by more than half in 2011, were trading at less than 40% of tangible book and despite CEO Brian Moynihan's mandate of deleveraging the balance sheet. BofA is up more than 70% this year.
America is an unbelievably resilient country that grows, stumbles, picks itself up, and grows even more. Investments should be made based on qualitative and quantitative factors, not the political landscape. Regardless of what you hear, whether it's from Democrats or Republicans, America is still primarily about capitalism. And capitalism promotes competition, which leads to innovation and growth. That's the foundation of my investment choices.
Should Mr. Market turn sour in the next couple of weeks or months, I will use that as an opportunity to invest should prices become attractive. If Dell (DELL) continues to trend lower, that makes me smile because in the short run, markets vote. But over time, fundamentals and growth take over. And over the past four years, Dell has generated more than $15 billion in free cash flow. Dell's current enterprise value is less than $13 billion.
Emotional behavior and reactions have never been, and never will be, conducive to a successful investment approach. Don't let the emotion of political rhetoric cloud the fundamentals of American capitalism.

He really hasn't been shooting more. He's averaged 11 shots a game for every month this year except January where he averaged 12. And that coincidentally has been his best month so far, averaging 16, 8 and almost 6 assists, while shooting 52% from the field.
He is however, down to just under 4 assists from being just over 5 earlier in the year. I think that's because of a lack of transition opportunities more than anything.
His turnovers were about 2.6 thru November & December. The last 2.5 months he's averaging 2.88, in more minutes per game.
I don't see what everyone is saying about Lance hogging the ball at all. He seems pretty consistent to me.

HONG KONG, China -- This month's spotlight is on Aganovich, the designer duo made up of Nana Aganovich and Brooke Taylor, who split their time between their studio in London's Whitechapel and an atelier at their factory just outside Hong Kong.
Like many emerging fashion brands, Aganovich has had its ups and downs and a couple of false starts. But over the past year or so, I have watched as Brooke and Nana have carefully put all of the pieces in place to re-launch with a sustainable platform in place, including angel funding, high-quality Chinese factories, solid sales support and endorsement from all the right people, including Amanda Harlech and Diane Pernet.
The creative process employed by Nana and Brooke is specific to their relationship with each other and with the clothes they design. Each of their collections is built around a narrative developed by Brooke, an essayist and philosophy graduate, and then realised in exceptional garments conceived and designed by Nana, a Central Saint Martins graduate. Together, they weave together imaginative stories and arresting garments like the ones photographed below from the 0.1 collection for Autumn/Winter 2009 or those from the 0.0 collection for Spring/Summer 2009, as conveyed in a short film developed for Showstudio.
For the rest of the month, a structural red cape from Aganovich's Autumn/Winter 2009 collection will pop up randomly in the heart of our BoF logo, now known as The Spotlight.
The Spotlight is BoF's showcase for emerging talent employing creativity and business acumen to make their mark in the fashion business.

Paul George is the mythical superstar player that we have patiently been waiting for. Hibbert is the top defending center in the NBA and another all star. David West and Lance Stephenson are also borderline all stars. In an era with several elite PG's, George Hill matches up with the best of them. Our top two bench guys, Scola and Watson, are starters on most other teams. And we haven't even gotten to Danny Granger yet. Bring on 70 wins!!!!

Thank you very much, General, for that kind introduction.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the entire leadership of the Engineering Academy of the PLA Armored Forces for the invitation to be able to be with you today. This is a particular privilege for me, because many years ago now, I had the opportunity, when I was in college, to go through what was called the ROTC program, which was the training that I received in order to become an officer in the United States Army. And coming to these schools always reminds me of that experience.
I also want to express my great appreciation to the Chinese people for their hospitality, for their kindness during my first trip to this country as the United States secretary of defense. Over the course of my time here in Beijing, I've had a series of very positive, productive, and candid exchanges with your military and civilian leaders, including a session with Vice President Xi just this morning.
These interactions made it clear to me that the leaders of both of our countries are sincerely working towards the same goal: to build a sustained and substantive United States-China defense relationship that supports the broader United States-China cooperative partnership.
This common effort is critical because, as two major powers, and as the world's two largest economies, a strong United States-China partnership will be essential for global security and prosperity in the 21st century.
For that reason, I am truly honored and delighted to speak to so many young PLA officers and cadets here today. One day, one day, it will be your responsibility to help carry the United States-China relationship forward into the future.
A few months ago, I spoke to America's newest sailors and Marines at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. The message I delivered to them is in many ways the same message that I want to give you today. And that message is that one of the keys to peace in the Asia-Pacific region is to build an enduring foundation for military-to-military relations between the United States and China.
That message is based on the belief that our relationship between our two countries holds long-term promise for both of our countries, for the Asia-Pacific region, and for the world. It is based on how much I have seen this relationship grow and transform in the course of my more than four decades in public service.
As a young man, one of my earliest jobs was in the United States government, in the administration of President Richard Nixon. Forty years ago last February, he traveled here to Beijing on an historic trip. It was called "the week that changed the world," a week when our two countries cast aside decades of fear, of division, and estrangement in favor of engagement. That trip set us on the course for the world we know today, a course where our two nations engage in a full range of diplomatic, economic, and security issues, and where our countries' common interests are growing.
Yet despite the distance that we have traveled over the past 40 years, it is clear that this journey is not yet complete, particularly for our two militaries.
In the security realm, we often hear about suspicion and a lack of strategic trust instead of cooperation and engagement. We see the spotlight often times placed on our areas of disagreement instead of the areas where we share common security interests and where there is the potential for us to work together in defense for those common interests.
We must be clear-eyed about the challenges and difficulties that we face as two major powers. We will not agree on every issue that comes before us, but we cannot let those disagreements and those challenges blind us to the great opportunities that exist. If we work together, if we cooperate together, we can solve problems together.
To do that, we need to focus on building confidence and understanding between our two defense establishments, enhancing the frequency and quality of our dialogue and establishing patterns of practical cooperation.
In that spirit of building trust, let me share with you today my thoughts on the role that the United States military wants to play in the Asia-Pacific region in the 21st century, and let me explain how I believe a constructive U.S.-China defense relationship complements that vision.
The broad United States strategy in the Asia-Pacific region is being driven by a simple reality: We recognize that, in the 21st century, America's future security and prosperity will be linked to the security and prosperity for Asia and it will be linked more than in any other region on Earth.
This part of the world is home to many of the largest and most dynamic economies, and it is of growing importance to U.S. diplomats, to our economies, to our development interests, to our security interests. There are also clear threats to regional security, from terrorism to the prospect of natural disasters, from maritime security to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, from piracy to drug trafficking.
In response to all of these trends and concerns, in response to these challenges and opportunities, we are increasing our focus and investment in the Asia Pacific across the United States government. We are doing so through expanded trade and economic ties, through increased diplomatic engagement, more development assistance, and through the rebalancing of our military forces, as well.
For the Department of Defense, that means that we are making this region a strategic priority as we begin to emerge from a decade of war.
At a time when we are being forced to make reductions in other areas of our defense budget in order to meet our fiscal responsibilities, we have decided that we are going to enhance our historic role and work with others to strengthen security in the Asia-Pacific region. We will do so by increasing exercises and training with allies and partners and building new defense relationships with a whole range of countries in this region. We are also developing new approaches to military presence and posture across the Asia-Pacific region. We are making investments in the capabilities we need to operate and partner effectively.
As one example, we are enhancing our defense missile [sic - ballistic missile defense] capabilities in this region. Why? Let me make clear that it's only aimed solely at one threat, the threat from North Korea. It is no secret that the United States is deeply concerned about the threat of North Korean ballistic missiles striking our allies, striking the United States, striking our forward-deployed forces, striking our homeland.
Our cooperation with our allies in the region on ballistic missile defense is focused on a nation that has tested nuclear devices, continues to enrich uranium, and continues to test ballistic missiles. These actions are a direct threat to the security of Asia and to the security of the United States. These ballistic missile defense systems are designed to counter that threat and to foster greater peace and stability in this region.
Indeed, the entire purpose of our effort to focus on the Pacific is to help sustain the region's security and prosperity in the future. It is in our interest, it is your interest to have an Asia-Pacific region that is prosperous and that is secure.
Our friends and partners throughout the region recognize that the United States military has a critical role to play in helping to achieve that goal in the 21st century because -- because of the profound role that we had in helping to foster security and prosperity in the 20th century.
For more than six decades, the United States military presence has underwritten the peace and stability of the Western Pacific. America has fought wars and spilled precious blood to counter tyranny to support a system of rules and norms and institutions in Asia that eventually underpinned this region's transformation into an economic powerhouse that it represents today.
During my trips to the Asia-Pacific region over the past year, I've received very positive feedback from a number of countries that seek to enhance their own capabilities in order to strengthen this rules-based order in the future. We've made it very clear that our engagement will continue to be guided by our adherence to a set of basic principles, including the following: one, free and open commerce; two, a just international order that emphasizes the rights and responsibilities of nations and the fidelity to the rule of law; three, open access by all to the shared domains of sea and air and space and cyberspace; and, lastly, resolving disputes peacefully, without coercion or the use of force.
Many countries -- and many millions of people -- in this region have benefited from this rules-based order, and that includes China. China's extraordinary economic growth and its rise as a major power made it a key stakeholder in this system. Over the long term, I believe that it will benefit all of our nations and create opportunities for us to work together to achieve common objectives, particularly in areas like maritime security, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and peacekeeping.
But these opportunities won't come to pass unless both of our nations -- and both of our militaries -- work together to seize these opportunities. That is why an essential element of our rebalancing effort is a constructive, bilateral relationship with China. And that is why I will continue to make it a priority for the Department of Defense to expand our defense dialogues, our defense exchanges with China.
We are already seeing momentum building as a result of our renewed dialogue over the last year, not only in high-level visits, like General Liang's trip to the United States in May and my visit here this week, but in regular exchanges between our armed forces at all levels.
Earlier this week, United States and Chinese ships participated in a joint counter-piracy exercise in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. This is an area of strategic and economic priority to both of our countries, and both the United States and China benefit from ensuring the free flow of commerce through the gulf. This exercise not only gave our two navies the opportunity to increase their capacity to confront the threat of piracy; it gave our sailors the experience of working alongside one another toward a common objective. These kinds of opportunities are invaluable when it comes to building trust between our two militaries.
Therefore, it was my privilege, on behalf of the United States, to invite China to participate in the RIMPAC 2014 exercises. This is the world's largest multilateral naval exercise, held off the shores of Hawaii. I am committed to identifying additional opportunities for Chinese participation in multilateral exercises.
The goal of this engagement is to build a military-to-military relationship that is healthy, that is stable, that's reliable, that's continuous, and that's transparent.
Our vision is for the type of substantive and sustained relationship that builds trust through cooperation. It makes steady progress over time in identifying areas of common interest. It builds channels of communication to improve understanding, manage disagreements effectively, and reduce the risk of miscalculation. Our goal is to make sure that no dispute or misunderstanding escalates into unwanted tensions or conflict.
Ultimately, any strategy that aims to sustain the security and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region will be judged by whether we can achieve long-term progress in the United States-China relationship.
Now, there are some who see the United States' focus on the Pacific in a different way. They see global security in terms of a zero-sum game, where China's rise will inevitably put it into conflict with the United States.
That view was rejected by President Hu and by President Obama. It is not what our new defense strategy is all about.
Our rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region is not an attempt to contain China. It is an attempt to engage China and expand its role in the Pacific. It's about creating a new model in the relationship of our two Pacific powers. It's about renewing and revitalizing our role in a part of the world that is rapidly becoming more critical to our economic, diplomatic, and security interests. And as I've made clear, essential to all of these goals -- essential to these goals is a constructive military-to-military relationship with China.
Let me conclude by noting that, like many Americans, I admire the transformation that China has succeeded in accomplishing over the past decades. I admire all of you for your willingness to serve your nation.
China's rise has brought millions out of poverty and helped to make the world a more prosperous place. I believe that it can also make the world a more secure place. If we work together -- if we work together to build an enduring foundation for military-to-military relations between the United States and China, we can achieve greater prosperity and security in the Asia-Pacific region.
Forty years ago, bold leaders who recognized the mutual benefits of cooperation came together to seize these opportunities, and they changed the direction of history in the 20th century. It is now up to us to help ensure that we continue to move in the same direction, towards more cooperation and towards a better and safer future for our children.
My parents were immigrants to the United States and came to America like millions of other immigrants. And the reason they came is because they believed in the American dream of giving their children a better life. They believed that they could give their children a better life. That is not just the American dream. It is China's dream, as well.
It will happen with a strong and constructive relationship between China and the United States. A prosperous and secure Asia-Pacific region is, indeed, the fulfillment of that dream.
Thank you for having me here today.

BLUEBELLS are flowering much earlier than in last year's cold Spring, with peak displays expected in time for Easter, the Woodland Trust has said.
The charity said nearly 200 records of native bluebells had been submitted to the Nature's Calendar website, which asks the public to submit sightings of natural events which mark the changing seasons.
This time last year, just 43 records had been submitted, as the UK struggled to shake off cold weather.
The trust is expecting a much earlier average first flowering date for bluebells than last year, when the average date across the UK was May 5.
In West Woods, Lockeridge, near Marlborough, the Lions Club of Marlborough, is hosting its fundraising two Bluebell Sundays on April 27 and May 4.
Last year the Lions had to postpone the events because of the cold spring.
The Woodland Trust is calling for better protection of ancient woodland, one of the native bluebell's key habitats, to give the plant the best chance of survival in the face of increasing threats from climate change, development and invasive species.
Woodland Trust director of conservation Austin Brady said: "Increased protection for all ancient woodland is vital."

NAEYC Radio presents…
Three causes of teacher burnout
(Washington, D.C.) – This month's NAEYC Radio segment segment features Dr. Joshua Sparrow, author and assistant professor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who discusses the reasons behind teacher burnout and how to prevent it from occurring.
Rae Pica and Mark R. Ginsberg interviewed Dr. Sparrow in this month's segment of NAEYC Radio, a program brought to you by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the BAM Radio Network.
In this segment, Dr. Sparrow says that a major reason for teacher turnover is burnout and that it can happen to anyone. He says that if teachers start to feel diminished accomplishment, they are headed toward burnout.
"The sense of diminished accomplishment also comes from lack of recognition and lack of appreciation," Dr. Sparrow says. "The lack of times when people look at what you've done and say, 'thank you.'"
Dr. Sparrow says that a teacher might be feeling burnout if he or she starts to feel emotional withdrawal from students or other faculty, or lose control over emotions. Once a teacher acknowledges that he or she may be headed toward burnout, Dr. Sparrow suggests talking to other adults about it, finding a mentor, and if necessary, maybe taking a break from teaching. Dr. Sparrow says there are several things administrators can do as well, such as acknowledging that burnout is common and making an effort to prevent it by holding regular staff meetings and frequently acknowledging staff accomplishments, no matter how small.
Dr. Sparrow is also the director of special initiatives at the Brazelton Touchpoints Center at Children's Hospital in Boston and co-author with Dr. T. Berry Brazelton of eight books on child development. Dr. Sparrow has also written a weekly New York Times syndicate column, "Families Today." Dr. Sparrow will also be one of the keynote speakers along with Dr. Brazelton at the 19th National Institute for Early Childhood Professional Development taking place June 6-9, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Mark R. Ginsberg, Ph.D., is the executive director of NAEYC.
The BAM Radio Network was originally launched as a resource for parents, aimed at delivering the most reliable information on early childhood development and developmentally appropriate parenting to busy moms and dads. Created by leading early childhood experts, the programming quickly became a popular resource among teachers and educators and was expanded to include an Educators' Channel.
Founded in 1926, the National Association for the Education of Young Children has nearly 90,000 members worldwide. The association is the largest and most influential voice for early childhood education professionals and the field of early childhood education in the United States.
Founded in 1926, the National Association for the Education of Young Children is the largest and most influential advocate for high-quality early care and education in the United States.

Citi Field scheduled to host international soccer match
PHILADELPHIA -- The Israeli and Honduran national soccer teams will play a friendly at Citi Field on Sunday, June 2, the Mets announced, marking Israel's first New York soccer appearance in over 35 years.
Tickets start at $20 and will go on sale Monday, April 15 at 10 a.m. at Mets.com/Soccer.
The New York metropolitan region is home to the largest Jewish and Honduran populations in the world outside of Israel and Honduras, according to a Mets release. The June 2 match will also take place on the same day as Manhattan's Celebrate Israel Parade.
The Israeli and Honduran national teams are ranked 66th and 55th in the world, respectively.
This marks the third straight year that Citi Field has hosted an international soccer match. Ecuador and Greece played to a 1-1 tie in 2011, and Ecuador returned to defeat Chile, 3-0, last summer.
