Jerrod Heard is a well-known name in football circles around the state of Texas, and has been for a while. Heard, a standout quarterback for Denton Guyer, is one of the top players in the entire country and he's a high-profile recruit who has led his team to great success on the field.
At Sunday's Rivals Camp Series presented by Under Armour (Dallas), Heard was one of the stars of the show with his play on the field and even in warm-ups. Heard was one of the most recognized athletes in attendance at the event, with a natural drawing power that seemed to have other players migrating his way for a quick chat before the competition began.
Heard is a quarterback. He's a state champion. He's a tremendous natural talent. He's incredibly personable. It's easy to see why he's so well liked.
He's also a Texas Longhorn.
The 6-2, 180-pound Heard probably could have chosen to attend any school in the country at the time of his August 14 commitment, but he had been a strong lean to Texas for quite a while and Heard said the decision to become a Longhorn was a pretty easy choice.
"Just when I went there for the unofficial visits and spring game, I really liked it. I felt at home, really enjoyed the love they gave me. I just wanted to make that commitment," Heard said. "Recruiting was getting a little hectic at that time so I just wanted to stop it. And I already knew I wanted to go to Texas so that was enough."
"That's all I knew was Texas."
When Heard first committed, the Texas offense ran a different style than it does know. Under Bryan Harsin's playcalling, the Longhorns slowed things down a bit in 2011 and 2012. Now being led by Major Applewhite and Darrell Wyatt, Texas has picked up the pace in 2013 and will focus on getting the ball into its top playmakers' hands.
"I like it. I think it will be really good in the Big 12," Heard said. "The defenses are changing, so we can spread it out and get it to our threats."
Heard stays in regular contact with Applewhite and Wyatt, and said he communicates with the entire UT staff to some degree. He also talks to other top recruits around the state via social media, touching base with top wide receiver KD Cannon and a handful of others.
"I'm hitting up a lot of people, just to see where they're looking, where they're heading," Cannon said.
Heard is helping carry on a strong recent quarterback tradition at Guyer, having taken the reins from current Oklahoma State standout J.W. Walsh. As good as Walsh was for the Wildcats, Heard hasn't missed a beat. He's put up strong numbers and came up big on the grandest of stages, rushing for five touchdowns and throwing for two in leading Guyer to its first state title in 2012 with a come-from-behind 48-37 win over Georgetown in the Class 4A Division I championship game.
Heard gives all the credit to those around him, including singling out his offensive line immediately after the state title game and passing along praise to the Guyer coaches for the success he and Walsh have enjoyed at the quarterback position.
"There's some talent but we also have great coaching. We have a great QB coach, that's all he does is look at QB drills, has me out there working on things," Heard said. "It's a lot of film work, a lot of drawing on the board, everything. It pays off."
Heard has an impressive skill set. He has a strong arm. He can make plays on the run. He makes good decisions with the football. But what really separates him from the rest of the pack is his ability to lead and an inner fire that burns hotter as the pressure mounts.
"I don't know where it comes from. I can get mad and I just know I have to score. I really can't say where it comes from, it's just natural for me. But when I get on that field and the whistle blows, I know it's game time and time to get after it," Heard said. "I'd say I play mad and relaxed at the same time. I have an anger out there, but I'm also smooth with it."
In 2012, Heard rushed for 2,138 yards with 35 touchdowns and passed for 2,090 yards with 17 touchdowns in leading Guyer to the state title. As a sophomore, he threw for 2,286 yards and 28 TDs while rushing for 650 yards and 5 scores. Heard ranks No. 5 on the Lone Star Recruiting Top 100 and is No. 73 on the Rivals100.

THE non-league football season has reached its halfway point and our 10 local sides in the Southern League and Hellenic League are continuing to scrap away.
Whether it's about winning titles, reaching the play-offs, avoiding relegation or simply just making it through until the end of the season, every team's story is developing.
We've all heard the talk. We've got the squad to win the title. We'll be in the mix come April. We're too good to go down. But what's the reality?
In a special report, Adver non-league writer NED PAYNE rounds up the season so far of each of our local clubs and assesses their chances in the second half of the campaign.
League position: 18th (Southern League Premier Division)
FA Cup: Out in first qualifying round - lost 3-2 at Yate
FA Trophy: Out in second qualifying round - lost 4-1 at Bognor Regis
Red Insure Cup: Out in second round - drew 2-2 at Merthyr and lost 6-5 on penalties
Half-term grade: C
Verdict: Colourful is probably the most generous word to describe Chippenham's season to date.
The Bluebirds were on their third manager by the start of November after Nathan Rudge and Steve Winter came and went, the latter within six weeks of his appointment.
Rudge tendered his shock resignation just two games into the season and assistant Winter was appointed as his successor.
But despite a positive start, matters swiftly went downhill, culminating in a 9-0 defeat to Stourbridge that Winter missed due to being on a surprise holiday for his 40th birthday, but he was nonetheless relieved of his duties.
With a season-long relegation battle looking increasingly likely, the Hardenhuish Park side turned to Mark Collier to step in.
Chippenham took seven points from their first three league games under the ex-Supermarine manager - who recruited heavily after assuming the hotseat - but have now not won since November 19.
Survival appears to be the number one target for the Bluebirds.
League position: Second (Southern League Division One South & West)
FA Cup: Out in third qualifying round - lost 2-1 at home to Weymouth
FA Trophy: Out in first qualifying round - lost 3-2 at Egham
Red Insure Cup: Home to Hungerford in third round (last 16)
Half-term grade: A+
Verdict: Season after season, Brian Hughes seems to put together a competitive Cirencester side.
And he's done it again this campaign with a squad that could go very close to winning the Southern League Division One South & West title.
Ciren had major injury problems early on in the season and wobbles against Bridgwater and Supermarine in August had some questioning their credentials.
But the Corinium side answered their critics emphatically. They have only lost twice in the league since the end of August and are a point behind Merthyr at the summit.
The free-scoring Lee Smith has been a revelation while ex-Marine centre-back Leigh Henry has played his part in a determined rearguard effort.
A financially-useful run in the FA Cup aided matters as Slough, Banbury and Portchester were dumped out, signifying Ciren's considerable potential.
And the Gloucestershire side will view the play-offs as the minimum requirement come the end of the season, given their current position.
League position: Eighth (Southern League Division One South & West)
FA Cup: Out in preliminary round - lost 3-0 at Winchester
FA Trophy: Out in first qualifying round - lost 3-2 at home to Bideford
Red Insure Cup: Out in second round - lost 3-0 at home to Cirencester
Half-term grade: B
Verdict: Manager Dave Webb has done well to keep the ship steady at Supermarine following his most testing couple of months to date.
Marine started the season like a train and the loan signing of Swindon Town's Kayden Jackson for two months was a massive boost to the South Marston side.
The young striker's goals helped fire them to the top of the league in September, only for the boys in blue and white to veer off course at the end of October and throughout November.
That was not helped by a spate of player departures including that of Jackson and stalwart left-back Danny Allen, who decided to retire.
However, with Ash Edenborough, Chris Taylor and Josh Parsons now all returned following summer moves to Hungerford, Marine picked up again.
The injury problems that dogged the squad for a time, and defenders Craig Curtis and Kyle Lapham in particular, cleared up and Marine remain in with a shout of a play-off spot.
Top-five from this point would be an impressive achievement given the increasingly competitive nature of the league.
League position: Fourth (Hellenic League Premier Division)
FA Cup: Out in extra preliminary round - lost 3-1 at Bournemouth Poppies
FA Vase: Out in first qualifying round - lost 3-1 at home to Camberley
Wiltshire FA Senior Cup: Away to Melksham in quarter-final
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Away to Flackwell Heath in third round (last 16)
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: N/A
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: Away to Wantage in third round (last 16)
Half-term grade: A
Verdict: It's been quite a turnaround at Highworth.
A sixteenth-placed finish last season wasn't exactly the heights anyone had been hoping to hit at the Elms and boss John Fisher warned in the summer that he would be forced to consider his future if he couldn't work with the same budget in 2013/14.
However, those behind the scenes ensured that Fisher - who won the title with the Worthians in 2004/05 - got his wish.
The boss then pulled off a masterstroke by bringing back TJ Bohane to the Elms and the striker has been banging in the goals Highworth were desperately missing ever since the start of the campaign.
Riding high in the league alongside others with plenty of financial clout, Highworth have seriously impressed.
OK, so maybe they should have done better in the national FA competitions, but they are still in three cup competitions including the Wiltshire Senior Cup.
There's every chance at least one trophy could be in the cabinet by the end of the season.
League position: 16th (Hellenic League Premier Division)
FA Cup: Out in extra preliminary round - lost 2-1 at Westfield
FA Vase: Out in second qualifying round - lost 3-0 at Brimscombe & Thrupp
Berks & Bucks FA Senior Trophy: Out in quarter-final - lost 7-1 to Windsor
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Home to Wantage in third round (last 16)
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: N/A
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: Home to Tuffley in third round (last 16)
Half-term grade: B-
Verdict: After joining up with Shrivenham in May following his exit from Wootton Bassett, Dave Turner warned not to expect miracles.
He wasn't wrong.
Shrivvy have found it tough going in the league yet again this term but under Turner's leadership, it is undeniable that chinks of light are beginning to shine through.
Under three different managers last season, the Barrington Park side managed 12 points in 36 games. This campaign they have 21 points in 23 games, nearly double last season's total with 15 games to go.
Perhaps improbably, the cups have proved a sanctuary. Shrivvy made it one round further than Highworth in the FA Vase after a kind draw against Malmesbury and are still up and running in two Hellenic League cup competitions.
Boss Turner will hope that extra knockout fixtures will not throw his side's league campaign off the rails, but as it stands, Shrivvy look likely to keep their head just above water.
League position: 13th (Hellenic League Premier Division)
FA Cup: Out in extra preliminary round - lost 2-0 at home to Totton & Eling
FA Vase: Out in second qualifying round - lost 7-0 at Odd Down
Wiltshire FA Senior Cup: Out in second round (last 16) - lost 3-2 at home to Bemerton Heath
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Out in first round - lost 5-2 at Lydney
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: In third round (last 16) - draw yet to take place
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: Out in first round - lost 3-1 at home to Tytherington
Half-term grade: C+
Verdict: Former Calne boss Jeff Roberts arrived at promoted Wootton Bassett with big plans in the summer.
The club elected to run with a budget for the first time and Roberts was hopeful of a top-six finish and a Wilts Senior Cup triumph.
The reality has proved somewhat different.
The new manager brought in plenty of new players when he arrived – including midfielder son Jordan who was courted by Swindon Supermarine - and has continued to do so in the first half of the season.
Roberts has openly admitted that this was part of the reason why his team had struggled to gel.
The Wilts Senior Cup dream was dashed by Bemerton early on and Bassett are currently 19 points adrift of the top six.
With a season and a half left of their tenancy at Cirencester Town's Corinium Stadium before they move into a new home at Ballards Ash, 2013/14 remains a building season both on and off the pitch.
League position: Fourth (Hellenic League Division One West)
FA Cup: Out in extra preliminary round - lost 2-1 at Bracknell
FA Vase: Out in second qualifying round - lost 4-0 at home to Kidlington
Gloucestershire FA Challenge Trophy: Out in third round (last 16) - lost 2-0 at home to Slimbridge
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Out in first round - lost 4-2 at Wantage
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: Home to Oxford City Nomads in second round (last 32)
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: In quarter-final - draw yet to take place
Half-term grade: B+
Verdict: Manager Paul Braithwaite wanted to have a good crack at the Hellenic League Division One West title this season, but barring a miracle, those hopes look done and dusted.
Due to a spell of good weather from the start of the season until early-December combined with a league that features only 15 teams, Fairford ripped through their fixtures.
At what many consider to be the season's half way point, the Reds have just nine league games to play and are 14 points behind leaders Tytherington, over whom they have just one game in hand.
Fairford enjoyed a strong run in the latter part of 2012/13 and they will crave something similar this round, with boss Braithwaite believing his team are now 'settled' following player departures earlier this campaign.
Trophy-wise they are three games away from silverware in the Floodlit Cup and a victory in that would certainly put a substantial layer of gloss on their season.
League position: Sixth (Hellenic League Division One West)
FA Cup: N/A
FA Vase: N/A
Wiltshire FA Senior Cup: Away to Corsham in quarter-final
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Home to Ascot in third round (last 16)
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: N/A
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: N/A
Half-term grade: B+
Verdict: By their standards, Purton endured an abject 2012/13 as they finished 13 th in Division One West, and boss Chris Pethick admitted that after around a decade in charge, he was considering stepping aside.
Thank goodness he didn't.
Not wanting to leave the club in the more, Pethick immediately set about rebuilding his Purton mini-empire and did so with some success.
Keeper Gary Stevens was one of a number of notable summer signings and the retention of key players such as midfield talisman Marcus Hall kept things moving along nicely.
The Red House boys have made a habit of bouncing back swiftly from defeat and despite two tricky away draws in the Wilts Senior Cup, are through to the quarter-finals.
Stevens' recent departure for Highworth may not be ideal but Purton could be a dark horse to win a trophy this season.
League position: 11th (Hellenic League Division One West)
FA Cup: N/A
FA Vase: Out in second qualifying round - lost 2-0 at home to Staines Lammas
Wiltshire FA Senior Cup: Out in second round (last 16) - lost 8-1 at home to Pewsey Vale
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Out in second round (last 32) - lost 3-1 at home to Rayners Lane
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: Away to Carterton in second round (last 32)
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: Out in first round - lost 4-0 at Malmesbury
Half-term grade: C+
Verdict: It's the nature of things at New College that they will never be able to build a settled side.
Whatever young talent comes through the Academy in any given year is what boss Rob Hopkins has to work with. And this season it appears that crop is decent.
It seems inevitable that by the end of 2013/14, College will have surpassed their 19-point total of the last campaign, being just four points behind that at the moment.
It's unrealistic to expect young players to come in and boss games in adult football, especially in a physical league such as Division One West, and Hopkins has stated that he would be more than happy to be top of the bottom half of the table.
That's not an unfeasible target at this stage, but it's equally possible that the students could get dragged lower down if they take their foot off the gas.
League position: 12th (Hellenic League Division One West)
FA Cup: N/A
FA Vase: Out in first qualifying round - lost 4-2 at Shrivenham
Wiltshire FA Senior Cup: Out in first round - lost 8-0 at Highworth
Hellenic League Challenge Cup: Out in first round - lost 8-0 at Ardley
Hellenic League Supplementary Cup: Out in second round (last 32) - lost 5-4 at North Leigh United
Hellenic League Floodlit Cup: Out in second round (last 32) - lost 10-1 at home to Wantage
Half-term grade: C
Verdict: It's a credit to Gareth Davies and his management team at Malmesbury that they are keeping their chins up.
It would have been easy to give up in a season that looked like it would be extremely difficult and delivered exactly what it promised.
Malmesbury have won just one of their last 12 games and have taken some almighty beatings along the way, even conceding 10 in a Floodlit Cup thrashing by Wantage.
Battling down at the wrong end of Hellenic League Division One West, Vics' young side know it's a long road to the end of the season.
Everyone at the club will be hoping that the Flying Monk pitch - flooded by the River Avon over Christmas - will keep out of trouble over the rest of winter.
No one has played less games in the league than Malmesbury and getting further behind on their fixtures could result in major problems.

Maryknoll Convent School declared a monument (with photos)
Maryknoll Convent School in Kowloon Tong was formally declared a monument today (May 16) under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance.
A gazette notice was published today announcing the declaration.
A spokesman for the Development Bureau said the school has been providing quality education to Hong Kong since 1925. The main school complex, constructed in 1937, reflects several different styles of architecture including Art Deco, Romanesque, Neo-Georgian and Gothic Revival.
"This is a rare school architecture of its kind and one of the finest examples in Hong Kong demonstrating how different styles of architecture can blend, old and new buildings can be added, without disturbing its original harmony. Its outer appearance in red brick has formed a deep impression on many people in Hong Kong.
"Maryknoll Convent School has set a fine example of a socially responsible owner and management. With the support of the school and the Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic, the 1937-built main building and the convent are declared a monument for protection under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance,"the spokesman said.
Maryknoll Convent School was first established at Austin Road in 1925 as a kindergarten by the Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic (originally named "The Foreign Mission Sisters of St. Dominic") who came to Hong Kong in 1921 with a mission to preach and to serve. With the opening of St. Teresa's Parish in 1931, the school management felt that Kowloon Tong, as a developing district, was an ideal place for Maryknoll Convent School. Construction of the new campus on Waterloo Road started in 1933.
In May 1936, Sir Andrew Caldecott (1884-1951), the then Governor of Hong Kong, laid the cornerstone of the main building of the school. One year later, the school moved to the new campus, providing quality education for students from kindergarten to matriculation. It has been a landmark in the area ever since.
The school's operation was interrupted by the Second World War and the school was used as a Japanese military hospital from 1942 to 1945. Construction of the convent next to the main building, which began before the Second World War, was finally completed in 1953. In 1960, the secondary-school section was moved to the new school building at 5 Ho Tung Road. Since then, the primary-school section has remained in the Waterloo Road main building and also occupied the convent when it began operating whole-day sessions in 1997.
The layout of the 1937-built main building adopts the medieval monastery or collegiate layout of an open peristyle courtyard surrounded by cloisters. The free neo-Tudor style of the school complex incorporates different architectural features including Art Deco, Romanesque, Neo-Georgian and Gothic Revival. The vaulted ceiling of Romanesque style in the auditorium, the granite staircase facing Boundary Street, pointed arches, hipped or gambrel-shaped roofs and the single tower at the fa?ade are notable features of the main building.
The setting and the 1937-built main building of Maryknoll Convent School are preserved in a very good condition. No notable change or alteration has been made to the building over the years. Old style furnishings and flooring can still be found in the main building. The well-kept landscape gardens also enhance the setting of the school complex.
Ends/Friday, May 16, 2008
Maryknoll Convent School in Kowloon Tong was formally declared a monument today (May 16)
under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance.

This Mickey Mouse watch is a boy-size watch which does not have any Ingersoll marks on the face or back. I was told the tiny numbers above the 12 is an indication it is an Ingersoll, 1971 model. The numbers are so high up above the 12 they are partially hidden. It is a lovely watch and I love these boy-size watches. Kerry, appreciate your expertise if this information is correct. Many thanks.

Bullpen arms top need for Halos in September
ANAHEIM -- Rosters officially expand on Monday, which means anybody on the 40-man roster can be activated for the regular season's final month. The Angels are off that day but will have a new crop of players when they arrive in Houston to begin a 10-game, four-city road trip on Tuesday.
Here's a look at what the Angels could gain for September callups:
Fresh bullpen arms: That will be the biggest key for a bullpen that easily leads the Majors in innings since the All-Star break. Hard-throwing right-handers Michael Kohn and Cam Bedrosian are expected to be called up, as is veteran sidearmer Vinnie Pestano.
Third catcher: Every team calls up a third catcher in September, and for the Angels, that guy figures to be John Buck, the 11-year veteran who was signed to a Minor League deal on July 21. Buck has hit .292/.372/.416 in the Pacific Coast League. His presence could free up some time at designated hitter for Chris Iannetta. The Angels cleared up a 40-man spot for Buck when they outrighted reliever Dane De La Rosa on Friday.
Speed and power off the bench: Left-handed-hitting outfielders Tony Campana and J.B. Shuck can give Scioscia a couple of options for pinch-running late in games. Right-handed-hitting first baseman C.J. Cron and left-handed-hitting outfielder Brennan Boesch can provide some thump and could get some starts at DH. The Angels will probably also recall left-handed-hitting first baseman Efren Navarro, who was sent down on Saturday.
Length: Triple-A starters Wade LeBlanc, Randy Wolf and Drew Rucinski can be called up to give the Angels some innings out of the bullpen or be candidates to start on the days Garrett Richards' rotation spot comes up. LeBlanc and Wolf are lefties, but the Angels would have to create space on the 40-man roster to activate them. Rucinski, a right-hander, is already on the 40-man.

Bowling Post Season
The Lipscomb Academy Bowling Teams will advance to the TSSAA Region 5 Tournament on January 15 following a winning 2012-2013 performance.
Both teams, made up of experienced bowlers, have had high expectations placed upon them from day one. Led by three two-time state qualifiers, Hope Peach, Jesse Ragsdale and Ryan Lipe, the teams also boast some of the top averages in the district. Both teams qualified for the region tournament by virtue of placing second in the District 12 AA Tournament.
Three Lipscomb Academy bowlers, Hope Peach, Ryan Lipe (who had the top district average of 193) and Jesse Ragsdale also qualified individually for the state tournament. To qualify for the state tournament as an individual, a bowler must have one of the top four averages in the district for the entire season. Half of the girls state qualifiers from District 12 are from Lipscomb Academy.
"In my first year as a Mustang coach, I have been very proud of the team and their hard work and dedication propelling the team to the next level of play. I look forward to the rest of post-season play, coaching this team is a true blessing in life," said Diana Benson, Lipscomb Academy Head Bowling Coach.
The teams are coached by Head Coach Diana Benson and Assistant Coach Ryan Colletti, who was once a Mustang Bowler himself. "I am blessed to be able to give back to a team that gave me so much in high school and to teach a sport that I've grown to love. Coach Benson and the athletes have worked hard to make this a good year, and I look forward to coming years," said Colletti.
The TSSAA Division 1 Region 5 Tournament will be held at Hermitage Lanes in Hermitage Tennessee on January 15. The girls team will play East Literature and the boys team will play Goodpasture, both games will begin at 3:30 in the afternoon.

Chelsea and ex-England captain John Terry has sold his neighbouring Oxshott houses for £21.25m.
The ex-England captain has made a profit of £10m on his Oxshott mansion after selling it for £16m, following the sale of his neighbouring house for £5.25m last year.
Terry originally bought the nine-bedroom mansion for £1.8m in 2007 and spent £4m refurbishing it.
According to the Daily Mail, the house, near Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, is worth twice as much as the average Surrey property.
Cobham and Oxshott, where people pay more tax than anywhere else in the country, are home to some of the richest Brits, including a number of Chelsea players.

I have a database in which i have required data. I am setting up linnworks and in that i have to do sql queries to get data from the database. The required data is in the database but column names are different than required by linnworks. How do I change column names in the SELECT sql statement so that when data is returned it returns the col names as required by linnworks and not what's there in database.
Hi Tapan,
You're in luck I have recently struggled trying to find a solution using Google and finally arrived at the SQL statement:
"ALTER TABLE master_table_from_csv CHANGE COLUMN OLD_field_name New_field_name VARCHAR(10)"
I discovered that with mysql it is essential to include the field type AND VARCHAR must be all in capitals.
Thanks for the solution but I do not want to permanently change the column names. Just when I doing the query they should return the data with the corrosponding temp. col name but permanently they should stay like they are. How to achieve that ?
answer: use column aliases
SELECT nicename1 AS crapname1
, nicename2 AS crapname2
, ....
Exactly what i wanted.

Research firm RealtyTrac says initial foreclosure notices were up in the first quarter of this year compared to a year ago. That's the second increase in a row for initial notices, which could signal another wave of foreclosures.
There were more than 7,500 foreclosure filings in Minnesota in the first three months of the year. Realtytrac's Daren Blomquist said that although the number of filings fell slightly from the same time last year, initial foreclosure notices were up by 11 percent.
"And so on the surface, that is a good thing, Blomquist said. "There is a downward trend in foreclosure activity."
"The caution there is that we are seeing an increase on the front end of the foreclosure process which is foreshadowing an increase in actually completed foreclosures going forward as well," Blomquist added.
Lenders restarted the foreclosure process after more than a year of delays, Blomquist said. Many lenders slowed the pace of foreclosures amid questions about procedures and foreclosure documentation.

I'm performing tonight in Frankfurt at the u60311. It's a wicked club built inside a U-Bahn station. I played there in 2001 with Chris Liebing and it was quiet an experience. It was so packed that as soon as we starting playing the crowd pushed forward right onto the stage. We had to stop and wait for security to force everyone back then start again.
I have a general rule that if it takes four and a half hours or less to get to a gig by train (or car) thats a better choice than flying. In Germany the Die Bahn system is excellent. If you order your tickets a few weeks in advance you can get a "Spar Preise" aka savings price. In fact, the Spar Preise is usually much cheaper than airline tickets or car rental. I always go first class on the train. It's not much of a cost difference (the promoters pay it anyway). You can request things like a small private cubby, non-smoking car and to be in the quiet zone. I say yes to all that because I like my sanity. You get leather seats, a power outlet, a table, waiter service a bathroom in every car (no waiting like on an airplane) and a view of Germany crusing by at over 200KPH.

Two young North Platte men will do hard time for burglary, according to sentences handed down Monday in Lincoln County District Court.
Duran was arrested for the Feb. 22 burglary of the Westfield Carwash. He broke into the office and took two bill changers. He was caught on the security video camera at the carwash.
He pled guilty on April 22.
Defense attorney Kent Florom asked for mercy, admitting that there was no excuse for what Duran did and that it was a stupid thing.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling asked for the maximum. She said Duran was on parole for another burglary charge when he broke into the carwash.
I certainly cant argue with your defense attorneys comments and I agree that it was a stupid thing, District Judge Richard Birch told Duran as he handed down the sentence.
Durans record shows nine arrests for burglary as well as two for forgery, three for possession of a controlled substance, being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property, theft, shoplifting, probation violations, contempt of court, trespassing, disturbing the peace, criminal mischief and failure to appear, more than once.
Timothy Jones, 25, of North Platte, was sentenced to 1-3 years in the pen for burglary.
County Attorney Rebecca Harling submitted the case on the facts in the files. Defense attorney Blaine Gillett said his client accepted that.
Your record is terrible. I dont know how I can overlook your priors or how I can ignore your record, Birch told Jones.
Jones was arrested in December. He was given credit for 13 days in the county jail.
Jones was ordered in 2009 to complete a treatment program or face going to prison.
His record of crimes as an adult, since 2006, shows three burglary charges, drug possession, five counts of theft, several charges of assault, possession of stolen property, trespassing, witness tampering, shoplifting, contempt of court, disturbing the peace and failure to appear.

I find it pretty amazing how long leopard has been sticking around. This jungle cat pattern is definitely bold and brash, but lots of ladies are embracing it by wearing it strategically: Just one piece is more than enough. Kate Walsh did it just right as an accent to denim and black, and both Rihanna's headband and Rachel Zoe's booties were worn in the same vein. All three ladies kept the rest of their ensembles simple and low-key, and chose leopard as a 'pop' that keeps things interesting.
Are you still loving leopard? Or are you ready to see a different pattern prevail? Regardless, check out our selection of leopard accessories and you may be inspired.

Art & Art History
Architecture & Design
Southwestern has offered a minor in architecture and design since 1985, with Prof. Thomas Howe (art historian, archaeologist, design teacher) providing lecture courses in architectural history and studios introductory architectural design, and Prof. Ron Geibel (ceramicist) offering courses in design, with projects in industrial and landscape design.
To date the program has a 100% acceptance rate of getting students admitted to design graduate schools in fields of architecture, interior design, industrial design, landscape architecture, construction contracting, engineering and urban planning, and students have gone to graduate schools at Harvard, Yale, U.T. Austin, Clemson, UCLA, Univ. Houston, Univ. of Arizona, U.T. Arlington and Washington Univ., St. Louis. Many graduates have found themselves design project leaders at leading firms within ten years of leaving SU.
Acquiring a liberal arts B.A. may add about one year to attaining a professional degree as opposed to entering directly into a B.Arch program, but liberal arts background has a record of endowing design professionals with greater depth and flexibility throughout their careers. Students major in some other field that can enhance a design career, including almost any of the humanities, business, science, mathematics or studio art. Most SU graduates apply for M.Arch first degree programs.
Students should major in any other discipline which appeals to them.

I know that we cant modify free wordpress theme? like i have registered for keword.wordpress(dot)com. It doesn't allow to modify any themes our own way . Is it possible or any hack to do this ? As i can olny chose the theme whatever i got online for free. I am not asking about paid theme or wordpress website. It's all about free wordpress blog's.
wordpress is very limited when it comes to free .com version, USE Blogger, Atleast you can modify the default design code and add lot of stuff if you are aware of PHP and basic HTML.
Thanks for the reply i myself have tried a lot to change the wordpress theme but finally I am not working on it. Surely i will try to go for Blogger and make good one.
Or just get a cheap hosting account and install your own wordpress. You have one step installers (fantastico is one that is used a lot). It literally takes about a minute from your hosting control panel. You can get hosting for about 5 dollars a month.
I'd go with cheap hosting, then you have full control and its at little to no cost to you, I say none because if you do ok you can make much more than your hosting fees back in ads.
I have edited many free wordpress themes with much success. The key i found is photoshop is your friend. The colors and over-all look can be greatly improved by using nice gradients to replace many of the flat colors and background of free wordpress themes. You can take a free wordpress theme that is designed well for SEO and functionality and make it look 100 times better with some good CSS coding and using soft colors (blue, orange, white) with some nice gradient work. Lots of trail and error involved to get the perfect look but it can be done with some time and skill.
If I change an current template for my own requirements, I often keep a little observe in the design.css headlines saying such not needed, I just like to do it if I'm understanding from an individual's effort after results.
Login your dashboard , Click Appearance - Editor . Now the theme editor open and you can edit your theme .
Don't forget to check the licence for the theme you are using to see what changes the author allows you to make to their theme. Just because they don't charge for using it doesn't mean that you are allowed to change it.
A wordpress website from wordpress.com is a little restrictive so you won't be able to 'hack' into it. Take a read of he arguments for a self-hosting WordPress website vs a .com one.
You can tweak things, but just like any service this cost an additional fee. Looking at their pricing it would cost a similar price to self-host your WordPress website, which would give you greater flexibility. This all depends on your know-how of WordPress.
On a self-hosted wordpress it's a good idea to create a child theme before editing a theme. This allows you to update the theme later and still keep your changes. It's tempting to just hack up a theme but you'll regret it later.
in general the free wordpress themes are in free GPL license or common creative license (this one you have to keep the author link on footer intact) But both licenses give you the ability to change and modify the theme the way you want to.in my experience, i always stop indexing my wordpress theme, then change the logo so you can use photoshop or any other software to create your own one, then the simple way for sidebars is using widgets... and if you want to make a lot of changes so you can easily edit the css style and the header.php, footer.php and sidebar.php it's the major files on wordpress.
Why on earth you want to use wordpress [dot] com unless you want some extra features.I suggest you to go to a cheap hosting, sometimes host will install a free wordpress for you or you simply can install one by one click.Then my dear the best tool is to use firebug (a plugin of firefox) to modify the theme.I have done lot of times.
Perhaps you could explain what you mean. You can't actually modify anything with Firebug.
Perhaps you could explain what you mean. You can't actually modify anything with Firebug.

Boring to WatchRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I grow up toward the sky, and rather quickly too.
You say watching me do so, is boring to do.
I create a shelter, a cover, for creatures like bugs.
If you step on my base wet, you will hear a thick 'glug'.
I have given you clues, four, to be true.
So now, what am I? Can your brain tell you?
Line 1: Grass grows up, toward the sky, and reasonably quickly as it needs to be cut quite often
Line 2: 'Like watching grass grow' - a simile which states something as boring.
Line 3: Grass is a home for bugs, and shelters the ground (dirt, mud).
Line 4: If you step on the grass' base (mud, dirt) while it is wet, it will squelch, or go 'glug'.

A congestion-busting one-way traffic system in Keighley town centre will be operational by 2015.
That was the message from Bradford Council transport bosses, who said initial feasibility work was complete and detailed designs would be drawn up this year.
The scheme – which will see East Parade, Hanover Street and Cavendish Street turned into a one-way network – has been widely welcomed.
Campaigners have been calling for action for years to tackle Keighley's chronic traffic snarl-ups.
Coun Graham Mitchell – chairman of Keighley Town Council's watch and transport committee – said the scheme was not necessarily the ideal solution but would provide benefits.
He said: "The 'big solution' to all the traffic problems would be a by-pass but that won't happen – it's impossible to see where you could realistically build one.
"A western one would be totally out of the question and an eastern route would involve bridging the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and the River Worth.
"We therefore have to look at a scaled-down option and the best we have come up with is the one-way system, which will provide some measurable benefit in the town centre.
"The problem with Keighley is that there are too many vehicles on the network. But if we can keep traffic flowing in the centre, there won't be the long queues on roads heading in.
"The alternative is to do nothing, and the situation would just get worse and worse."
Stuart Hastings, owner of Metro Taxis in Church Street, Keighley, welcomed the scheme.
"I think it's a brilliant idea," he said.
"Keighley desperately needs it and we've been arguing for it for years.
"Not everybody will be in favour, but it will suit most people.
"At present it's horrendous trying to drive through town. This scheme will help keep traffic flowing and cut delays."
Steve Seymour, manager of the Airedale Shopping Centre and chairman of the Town Centre Association, agreed that action is needed.
"I've seen the proposal and it has to be welcomed," he said.
"It won't be long until the new Worth Valley Shopping Centre opens and that will add to the traffic problems.
"The sooner the one-way system is in place, the better.
"The scheme will also help raise the profile of our shopping centre's location, which clearly we welcome."
Bradford Council has already dedicated almost £1.5 million to the project, which will see East Parade restricted to southbound traffic, Hanover Street northbound and Cavendish Street eastbound.
Keighley Area Committee gave its blessing to the proposal last year.

selected for the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas is a significant achievement for
any high school football player. For Zack Cole, of North Carolina, the
invitation to the game recognizes much more than athletic skills.
Cole, 18, was born with underdeveloped and joined together fingers and toes.
He is also missing his ring finger on his left hand and both of his big toes.
The problems were the result of amniotic band syndrome – where the fetus becomes
entangled in fibrous, string-like amniotic bands in the womb, restricting blood
flow and affecting the baby's development.
From infancy to age 8, Cole had four different surgeries at Shriners
Hospitals for Children® — Greenville to improve the function of his feet and
hands. To add to the adversity, Cole's mother was killed in a tragic car
accident when he was 3. His uncle and aunt, Shannon and Holly McLaughlin, became
his legal guardians.
"Zack's mom didn't have a job or insurance, so there is no telling what would
have happened if it wasn't for the Shriners Hospital," said Mr. McLaughlin. From
the doctors, to the nurses, to the volunteers – the whole staff was amazing."
Early on, Cole's uncle and aunt promised themselves they would not hold Cole
back because of his limitations. Cole began to play football at age 6, and it
did not take long for them to realize the speed and athleticism he possessed.
"I turned to a friend of mine and said, 'he's going to make the Shrine Bowl
one day,'" said Mr. McLaughlin
Cole would go on to make the varsity team his sophomore year of high school.
During his first game, he caught a long pass for the school's first-ever
touchdown. Cole's uncle and his aunt watched from the stands and could not hold
back their tears. The touchdown was a symbol of how much Cole had overcome.
Today, Cole is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound high school varsity football wide
receiver and safety. In addition to playing football, he is the reigning Boys
High Jump Champion in his high school conference.
Cole's humble attitude and off-the-field accomplishments are even more
impressive. He has a 3.75 GPA and plans on majoring in chemistry and pre-med at
the post-graduate level. NCAA Division I universities such as Duke, East
Carolina, Appalachian State, Elon, and Wofford have expressed interest in
recruiting Cole for their football programs.
It's only fitting that Cole, a former patient, played in the Carolina Shrine
Bowl Game on Dec. 18. The proceeds of the game support Shriners Hospitals for
"I owe everything I have to Shriners Hospitals for Children®," said Cole.
"I'm so proud to give back and help the child who is lying in the same bed I was
once in."

Buffalo Wild Wings Reaching a Floor
Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) remains very weak, but it appears to be close to a bottom. Shares of the casual-dining outfit took an extremely heavy hit back on Oct. 24 after the company reported disappointing third-quarter results. The stock dropped more than 10% on the news as volume ramped to nearly 5x average. Since then, Buffalo Wild Wings has attracted very little interest. Shares held above the initial post-earnings lows for weeks, but last Wednesday -- during the broad flush -- the October lows were taken out. The stock's struggles have not eased since the third-quarter report, but indications of a near-term bottom are beginning to appear.Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) -- Daily Source: TradeStation View Chart » View in New Window »
The Oct. 24 breakdown was the second one for Buffalo Wild Wings during this year's second half. Back in July, shares equaled their October flush with a 10% drop on weak second-quarter numbers. At that point, the price pushed through its Feb. 8 breakout gap at $70.90; this key support level was unable to withstand some of the heaviest selling the stock had seen in years.

ZEPHYRHILLS — He figured it was his house too, so when Terry Nowakowski's ex-girlfriend locked him out Tuesday afternoon, he decided to break down the door.
When he stepped inside, authorities said, he was greeted with antlers.
His ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Harrison, armed herself with a mounted deer head and "began striking him in the face and body with the ends of the antlers until she lost her grip dropping it to the floor," a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report states. Nowakowski, 20, managed to flee and call for help.
He told deputies he and Harrison, 23, are broken up, but have a 3-year-old daughter together. They both own the home at 4129 Loury Drive in Zephyrhills, so they live at the same residence for financial reasons and "for the good of the child," the report states. Their daughter witnessed the fight, authorities said.
The argument started when Nowakowski walked outside and called his current girlfriend "which he believes angered Chelsea," the report states.
Nowakowski said Harrison locked the door, so he tried to get inside by removing a screen. When he poked his head inside the window, he said, Harrison punched him in the face.
That's when he decided to break down the door.
His face was swollen and cut from the alleged antler attack. Harrison denied the accusation.
Harrison, who faces a charge of domestic battery, was released from jail Thursday.

Student Disability Services: Top Ten FAQs
Contributed by Linda Uhll on 01/19/14
Students Disability Services (SDS) was created to assist faculty and staff in their every day efforts to ensure equal access for students to all college programs and services. The following is a list of frequently asked questions.
We hope this information is helpful in providing the best possible service to students.
1. How are accommodations determined?
Accommodations are based on documentation and the recommendations of an outside evaluator, case law, consultation with the student, and best practice. We do not determine accommodations, we administer them.
Documentation is required for a student to receive accommodations, as established by the Educational Testing Services (ETS) and the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD).
Testing must be done by a qualified, licensed, independent practitioner. Depending on the disability, this may be a physician, psychologist, or learning disability specialist. A listing of local practitioners can be provided upon request.
2. Are services ever denied?
Yes. Students who fail to establish that they have a disability that impacts one or more major life activities or do not provide adequate documentation will be denied services. Also, accommodations that are not supported by the documentation or aren't appropriate at the postsecondary level, e.g. modified curriculum, will not be included on the Academic Adjustment Plan.
3. Sometimes we aren't notified about a student's accommodations until mid-semester or later. Why is that?
There are many reasons that faculty may not be notified about a student at the beginning of the semester including delayed receipt of documentation, student referred mid-semester, referral related to sudden onset of illness or injury, etc.
As soon as SDS has the necessary documentation and the student elects to use services, we notify the faculty.
In short: when we know, you know!
4. Do I have to accommodate the student retroactively?
No, accommodations begin when you receive the Academic Adjustment Plan from Student Disability Services.
5. Can faculty provide accommodation without an academic adjustment plan from Student Disability Services?
We don't recommend it. In the absence of documentation, there is no way for a faculty member to know if the request for accommodation is legitimate.
If a student asks for an accommodation but we have not contacted you, please refer the student to SDS.
6. Who is responsible for providing testing accommodations?
This is a shared responsibility. Whenever possible, faculty are encouraged to provide the accommodation themselves. This allows students to address questions related to the exam directly to faculty rather than through SDS staff. If you are not able to provide the accommodation as specified on the Academic Adjustment Plan, we are here to help.
How do testing accommodations work?
Students with testing accommodations as part of their Academic Adjustment Plan take exams with SDS at the regularly scheduled class time. The exceptions to this rule include the following:
a. if they need extended time but have classes immediately before and after the exam,
b. they have too many exams in the same day,
c. the class is taking the exam outside SDS office hours.
d. the student has 'alternate test time' listed as an accommodation on their plan due to medical reasons.
If a student needs to request an alternate test time, he or she must get faculty approval before scheduling it with our office. If you have a question about the time of an exam scheduled with SDS, please contact the Testing Services Specialist at 274-1257.
7. When I send an exam SDS for administration, who has access to the exam?
Professional staff are the only people with access to exams. Due to staffing constraints, sealed envelopes containing the completed exams will be delivered to the deans' offices by SDS student workers .
Test security is our top priority. If you have questions, please contact our Testing Services Specialist.
8. Some students have "Flexible Attendance" listed as an accommodation. What is the reason for this and how many 'extra' absences do I need to allow?
SDS encourages students who have this accommodation on their plan to meet with faculty at the beginning of the semester to discuss how many absences are acceptable in order to complete course requirements. This will provide the student with the necessary information to determine if they should remain in the class.
This accommodation is primarily included for students who have a medical condition that may impact their ability to attend class if their symptoms become worse, they have side effects from their medication or they need to seek medical care.
It's difficult to give an exact number of allowable absences since it is, in part, determined by the nature of the class. For example, courses where class participation and/or group projects are a critical part of the curriculum are more challenging for students to make up work if they miss several classes.
9. Who is the ADA compliance officer and is there a grievance procedure in place?
The Director of Equal Opportunity Compliance is the ADA compliance officer. If a faculty member has a concern about an accommodation, contact our office first to discuss your concerns. If you do not get resolution, contact your department chair, then the dean. If no resolution can be reached, the final arbiter is the ADA compliance officer.
10. Where can I go to get more information about the Office of Student Disability Services?
Please visit our website at: www.ithaca.edu/sds
We're here to support you, too, so please don't hesitate to contact the student's Disability Services Specialist regarding questions, concerns or for other assistance. The office phone number is 274-1005.

Mets hope to feed off energy of Subway Series
NEW YORK -- With their cast of veteran fill-ins and up-and-coming studs, the Yankees are bringing a tough test for the Mets to Citi Field on Monday night for the start of the 2013 Subway Series.
While they're scuffling heading into the four-game slate, the Mets see this as an opportunity to try to pick up some quality wins against a first-place team.
"Usually they're one of the premier teams in baseball, so I guess it's a good measuring stick as far trying to win a series against those guys, or beat those guys," Mets third baseman David Wright said. "You know if you're playing pretty quality baseball."
Even the Mets have been impressed with what the Yankees have been able to do despite a litany of injuries. From across town, they've watched the Yankees' disabled list become increasingly expensive with the number of high-priced stars that have gotten hurt. But instead of sinking in the standings, the 30-19 Yankees have managed to stay in first place with veteran castoffs like Travis Hafner, Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay, as well as younger players like infielder David Adams and reliever Preston Claiborne.
The Mets have had their share of struggles with a stagnant offense, one that's going to need to break out of its malaise and hang some runs on the board against a quality Yankees lineup.
"They've got a good club. One thing they've always done, when they have issues, they find people to step up and they do step up," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We've got our work cut out for us, there's no question."
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said he's been impressed with what his Yankees counterpart, Brian Cashman, has been able to build this season.
"They've gotten tremendous contributions from many of the players whom they acquired late in Spring Training, or early in the season," Alderson said. "You have to admire that. I think it's shone a different light on the Yankees and the Yankee franchise and what Brian Cashman's been able to do."
For the first time, the series will be four games in four days -- two at Citi Field and two at Yankee Stadium. Wright said that could add a bit more excitement to a series that certainly isn't lacking much already.
Perhaps an added jolt of intensity and energy is what the Mets need to get back on track, and that's exactly what the Subway Series will bring. Even though the Mets and Yankees are currently sitting at two very different spots in their respective divisions, the Subway Series is still an exciting time for the players, and even more so, the fans.
"It's a lot of energy, a lot of electricity. It brings the city together, which is always a good thing," Wright said. "It's always fun to play in front of those big crowds, those loud crowds. It obviously gets the adrenaline going."
