Micah B. Koch, 24, was charged Thursday with homicide after a deadly crash shortly after midnight Monday left a young woman dead and two men injured.
Koch is charged with motor vehicle homicide as well as driving while intoxicated-serious bodily injury. His bond was set at $100,000.
Kochs blood alcohol level tested more than two times the legal limit, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff's office.
The 1996 Ford F-250 pickup was going west on Platte Valley Road. It went through a three-way intersection into the dirt bank of the west ditch of Prairie Trace Road. Seatbelts were not in use, the sheriff's report said.
Koch, 24, and passenger Jay D. Shotkoski, 28, both of Hershey, were injured.
All three victims were initially taken to Great Plains Regional Medical Center for injuries. From there, Huebner was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney. The sheriff's office was informed around 7 a.m. that Huebner died from her injuries.
Accident reconstructionists from the sheriffs office believe the pickup was exceeding the speed limit before it crashed.
The investigation is ongoing, the sheriff said.

The tides turned from mortgage crisis to foreclosure financial crisis in October 2010. Florida Attorney Roy Oppenheim made the call three days before the bank fraud story broke in the Wall Street Journal. He reflected on that day with leading Asset Protection Attorney Douglass Lodmell in a recent interview on the talk show "Mind of Money."
On September 28th at a Florida Assets Protection seminar, Oppenheim predicted: "In the next 72 hours the news you are about to hear, not about the mortgage crisis, but what will be called the foreclosure crisis will make most attorneys in this country question what they learned in law school and why they became lawyers."
"It's the tip of a very ugly iceberg," Oppenheim says about the foreclosure crisis
"The crisis has moved from the debtors to the banks. It's the repercussions of the banks not playing fair–basically cheating with sloppy and fraudulent paperwork including backdated affidavits, forgeries, and notary fraud."
While yes, banks did this to try to cut corners, what the banks actually did was cut the corners of the Constitution. Banks were missing essential documentation and denying homeowners of their fundamental constitutional rights.
"Like Humpty Dumpty, the mortgage note is broken up and cannot be put back together again," Oppenheim points out.
Is 2012 the bottom of the market? Not yet. Most economics are saying in 2019 the homeowners will still owe more than what their homes are worth, considering the banks currently have 107 months worth of inventory in foreclosure.
Millions of people have been illegally foreclosed or are in the process of being foreclosed. The bottom line: banks did not have the right to bring these foreclosures and homeowners now have the ability to push back.

SAN MATEO — A 22-year-old man was arrested Super Bowl Sunday after he allegedly drove drunk into a San Mateo creek and fled from the wreckage with an injured passenger.
Andy Lazaro was booked on charges of felony hit and run and driving under the influence after he veered his pickup truck into a creek off Fourth Avenue near Highway 101, San Mateo police spokesman David Norris said. The truck was found submerged in the water about 10:10 p.m. with a stream of blood trailing from the wreck.
Officers followed the trail of blood north into a neighborhood about half a mile before it stopped at a residence in the 1000 block of Cypress Avenue, Norris said. From there, a resident directed officers to the nearby home of the injured passenger, a 20-year-old man who has not been identified.
Lazaro, the driver of the truck, was found a short time later after officers tracked the truck's registration to another nearby home, said Norris, who added that both the suspect and his passenger lived within several blocks of the crash scene.
Both men were briefly hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening before Lazaro was taken to jail to be booked for hit and run, DUI and resisting arrest.
In light of the DUI arrest, San Mateo police reminded residents to make designated drivers a part of their holiday planning just as much as any part of the festivity.
"Such celebrations are high time for DUIs," Norris said. "Event nights such as Fourth of July, New Year's Eve and Sunday's Super Bowl are naturally a reason for people to get together and celebrate, and often alcoholic beverages are part of that — the danger is much higher."
But the acknowledgment of rampant drinking comes with no wiggle room for people who choose to drive afterward, said Norris, who reminded revelers to have a good time, but to do it responsibly.
"We take a zero-tolerance position against drunk drivers," Norris said. "You drink, you drive — you're ours."

Last weekend I performed in Bogota, Colombia. It was my first time in South America. I was pretty nervous to go down there. I was sure I would be kidnapped and would end up naked chewing leaves from a coca plant. I read about Scopolamine, Aguardiente and anything else that could scare me. However all my friends have gone down there and said it was great. In addition, I read many recent articles saying that the country was really safe now. Most importantly there were people there who want me to come. A few promoters and lots of fans have contacted me over the years. It was now or never. I set some rules up for myself. Register with the embassy and don't do certain things while you are down there. I broke every rule I set for myself and fell in love with the people there.
The flight there was nice. There were amazing lighting storms below us as we were over South America. When I arrived I met Laura Martinez aka DJ Blue Kim and the main promoter Sebastian Perez Bastidas (great name right?). I've been talking to Laura for a few years now. She has a very close musical taste to my own and the fact that she plays so much of my music down there it's probably 90% of the reason this booking could even happen. After checking into the hotel we went for a Cervezas in the "pink district". I clicked instantly with Seb & BK. Before I went to sleep I decided to put the news on and discovered there were huge protests, road blocks and rioting around Bogota. I learned the protests were heading toward the city. In fact some of the surrounding areas had curfews put on them. I began to wonder if the event was going to happen. The Colombian farmers and students were protesting because the government was importing Monsanto seed. There were also importing vegetables at a lower cost than what their own farmers could produce. I watched Colombian farmers on television explain that they make enough potatoes for their own people so why import? I hate American corporate greed and Monsanto especially when they go after the thing we all need most… food! I opened Ableton and added a FUCK MONSANTO sign to the opening video of the live show.
With luck things were mostly calm on the show day and all things were go! The event was at a place called Las Vegas which was essentially a strip club/whore house. There was a big advantage to having the show there as this venue could stay open past lunch the next day. As people started to enter I knew I was reaching "my" crowd. Intelligent freaks, the lost and serious dark music lovers surrounded the stage. I often feel that no matter where I am, whatever city or country inside the club are my kind of people and once the music starts I could be anywhere. I had a great time performing.
What can I say now? Rules are made to be broken right? I made some amazing new friends over the next few days there. I also got a chance to see what people really live like in Colombia. I walked through streets that once looked scary to me on television and realized how nice it actually was. The city is crowded with young people, motorcycles, small private stores, trees, hills and mountains. I made a huge mistake not going to Bogota sooner. I can't wait to go back.

Several county roads remain closed as crews Monday morning continued assessing the damage from a series of storms that battered Northern California over the last week.
Downed trees and power lines triggered most of the closures, and are expected to be cleared shortly. But a massive washout along Vine Hill Road in Scotts Valley is likely to pose a longer-term problem, and public works crews are surveying the damage this morning.
Ongoing road closure map for Santa Cruz County
A series of storms dumped several inches of rain throughout the region, with flash flood warning periodically in effect throughout the county. The San Lorenzo River crested at 16.2 feet, below its 18-foot flood level.
About 220 people remain without power in the county, with beleaguered PG&E crews working throughout the storm to address problems. At one point, PG&E pulled its crews from the Santa Cruz Mountains due to the danger there posed by high winds.
The National Weather Service forecast for the week is mostly sunny, with a 50 percent chance rain could return Tuesday night.

Joseph: Well if you take a poll in LA , or NYC or Chicago where there are so many people on " free " Obamacare paid for by us WORKERS - I guess you could get a 53 % favorable vote . Anyone can vote FOR something they get for doing absolutely nothing to earn for themselves . Also , they " think " that 30 million people would lose healthcare . What about the over 100 million WORKERS who can't afford healthcare because they are supporting the non workers healthcare . Sure , this bill is not perfect ; but it is better than a total failure of Obamacare . I think the president should just move on to tax reform and allow the liberals to get what they want and see if they still take credit for The Affordable Care Act when it IMPLODES next year and ALL of their political base who won't work for a living are rioting in the streets because they can no longer get " free " healthcare . We might get to see some mass hangings of liberal politicians on the street corners of the big cities . It won't matter one bit if the bill fails to pass . The republicans will be on record that they wanted to fix healthcare , and people like McCain , Paul , and ALL the democrats , put political ideology above their duties to The People . They deserve to hang .

HUNTINGTON BEACH – A man charged with arson and murder was one of two people found dead in what appeared to be a murder-suicide at Bartlett Park, officials said Wednesday.
Abraham Felmley, 32, was found dead with a gunshot wound Tuesday afternoon along with another man, Robert Duran of Huntington Beach. Felmley shot Duran before taking his own life, Huntington Beach police Lt. Mitch O'Brien said. A gun was found at the scene, he added, and any connection between the two men has not been released.
A passerby saw the two bodies around 1 p.m. Tuesday in the rural park between Coldwater Lane and Beach Boulevard, south of Yorktown Avenue. The park, 15 to 20 acres of dense trees, brush and trails, is a hangout for teenagers and homeless people, neighbors said.
Authorities in Sacramento had been seeking Felmley since Monday. He was wanted in connection with a house fire and the deaths of two of his family members. Arson investigators were seeking the cause of the fire at the home in south Sacramento County, said Sgt. Jason Ramos of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. The bodies of two men were found inside the home, and Ramos said investigators were trying to determine their cause of death.
One of the people found in the home, a man in his early 80s who was Felmley's grandfather, suffered blunt force trauma to his head and body, Ramos said. The other, a man in his 60s, was that man's son and Felmley's uncle.
A white pickup and a gun were missing from the home, Ramos said.
About four hours later, a man fishing near Highway 152 outside Merced said a man in a white truck stole his car, keys and phone at gunpoint. The carjacker, whom the man identified as Felmley, fled in the man's 1992 green Toyota Camry.
Officials suspected Felmley might head toward Southern California and warned local law enforcement, Ramos said.
"We thought he had family members down there who might be in danger," Ramos said.
Felmley was in violation of his parole after serving prison time for domestic violence, Ramos said. He also had a history of substance abuse and family members described him as a transient, Ramos said.
Sacramento County Superior Court records show Felmley was convicted in 1999 of possession of an explosive device, a felony. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to theft with an earlier conviction in an Orange County court. That same year he was convicted in a Long Beach court of spousal abuse, an offense carrying a sentence of two to four years in state prison.
On Tuesday, he was charged in Sacramento with arson and two counts of murder, court records said.
Huntington Beach detectives are working with Sacramento investigators. Anyone with information may call 714-536-5988.

DETROIT — For the A's, lost opportunity does not begin to describe Tuesday.
What would be more accurate? Tuesday was a lost journey to glory that instead took a turn down a dank canyon full of starving wolves, poison-dart-wielding monkeys and chubby guys in windbreakers who reach up to steal baseballs and crush hearts.
Yup. That pretty much expresses it.
"Look, you gotta finish it out for nine innings," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Just because we had the lead doesn't mean you're going to win the game."
No, but for the bulk of Tuesday's game, the A's were poised to clinch their best-of-five playoff series against the Detroit Tigers with a Game 4 victory. The Athletics led 3-0 after their half of the fifth inning. The Athletics led 4-3 after their half of the seventh inning.
And then it all fell apart, in three separate crucial sequences that led to an 8-6 Tigers victory that sends the series back to Oakland for a decisive Game 5 on Thursday.
Josh Reddick, the A's right fielder who was involved in both a controversial fielding play and an agonizing plate appearance that saw him strike out with the bases loaded, admitted that flushing away the might-have-beens will be a challenge.
"It's going to be hard," Reddick said in a quiet A's locker room. "You think about the at-bats and the other plays that could have been different. But once I get on the plane tonight, I put my headphones on and my country music and try to let it go, treat it the same way as if we got beat by 10 runs or won by 10 runs."
Somebody could write an entire country music album full of sad songs about Tuesday's game and those three soul-sapping sequences that undid them. Let's review.
SOUL SAPPER ONE: After taking that 4-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, Melvin turned to usually reliable reliever Sean Doolittle to retire Tiger batters. The first was Victor Martinez. Doolittle threw him one of his best fastballs — and Martinez sent it flying over Reddick's head in right field.
The next few seconds after that were in dispute because as the ball reached the fence, a fan reached out clumsily and watched the ball thud into his upper arms before falling onto the turf. Umpires ruled it a home run and confirmed it on a video replay — which showed that under the letter of the rule, the fan did not interfere.
A bigger problem was that Doolittle allowed three more baserunners and another run, on a broken-bat single by Austin Jackson. Doolittle wasn't second-guessing any of his pitch choices, tipping his cap to the Tigers.
"I feel like, for whatever reason, it was their day," said Doolittle. "They did just a good enough job to put the runs up there."
SOUL SAPPER TWO: With the Tigers now holding a 5-4 lead, the A's still had a terrific comeback window in the top of the eighth inning against an unlikely suspect — Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer, the ace starter who was brought out of the bullpen owing to the Tigers' desperate situation.
After the first two A's batters reached base, Detroit manager Jim Leyland walked the bases loaded for the bottom of Oakland's batting order.
First up was none other than Reddick, who fought off some Scherzer fastballs until whiffing on an 86 mph changeup that was way inside.
"If I sit on an 86 miles per hour changeup, there's no way I can catch up to a 97 mph fastball," Reddick explained. "So I was sitting on the fastball and adjusting — and I was on it, he just threw a good pitch. Looking back, I wish I would have taken it."
Next came catcher Stephen Vogt, who also went down swinging as Scherzer bore down and seemed to find another gear.
Finally, Melvin sent up pinch hitter Alberto Callaspo, known as a contact hitter, hoping for a better result. Callaspo also battled before smashing a line drive to center field that didn't get down fast enough and was caught by a charging Jackson.
"I thought it was a hit off Callaspo's bat," said Detroit catcher Alex Avila. "Then I saw Austin moving … and realized Callaspo had hit it too hard. It's almost an impossible situation, to get out of there without any runs scoring. But we did."
SOUL SAPPER THREE: By this point, raucous Tigers fans were ready to immediately build a statue to Scherzer on the plaza outside. His performance will live in legend if Detroit wins the series. But the A's remained in position to battle — until the Tigers scored three more runs in the bottom of the eighth off A's relievers Ryan Cook and Brett Anderson.
"One of the reasons that we are where we are is because of our bullpen," Melvin said. "It just didn't happen tonight."
So here we go again, to face Detroit nemesis Justin Verlander, who beat them in this same situation a year ago. Meanwhile, Melvin said he had not decided on the A's starter. The decision is between rookie Sonny Gray and veteran Bartolo Colon — with Gray the likely and better choice because of his shutout performance against the Tigers last Saturday. He will be out to break the A's well-known elimination-game curse: Including Tuesday's defeat, the A's are 1-11 in their last 12 opportunities to clinch a series.
Avila also knew those numbers but discounts them in looking at the current A's roster.
"They're a little bit deeper now than they have been," Avila said. "And that's all in the past. Anything can happen now."
As the A's know only too well.

Service Questions
- Overview
- Communications Module - The EXO-BR is available in 3 different modular communication configurations: No communications (blank module), Bare wire post communications, or the most popular; 4 pin male waterproof connector when a 4 wire "round robin" system is desired (see spares, 315-215). Compatible wireless systems are available through several different manufacturers.
- EXO Skeleton Frame - A strong injection molded plastic external frame gives the head harness an even pull completely around the mask seal. The EXOskeleton does not touch the diver's face. It is suspended just slightly off the face to hold the communication and breathing equipment in place without discomfort.
- EXO-BR Balanced Regulator - CE approved as well as U.S. Navy approved. It meets and surpasses EN 250 requirements for regulator performance.
- Faceplate Lens - Tempered glass for strength and minimum fogging. A strong plastic frame surrounds the glass to seal on the rubber mask seal.
- Head Harness - A pull through fixed buckle type with an automatic locking feature. Quick release buckles are featured on each rugged, double wide strap.
- Mask Seal - Comprises the main rubber body of the mask. It is a soft neoprene that seals comfortably on the diver's face. The EXOskeleton is used to hold this soft rubber seal in place on the diver's face for a solid seal.
- Regulator Adjustment - Provides demand regulator adjustment for a wide range of incoming air pressure. In addition, it can serve as a steady flow valve. Some divers prefer a slight steady flow on surface supplied air when air consumption is not a factor.
- Silicone Oral Nasal Mask - Made of a superior silicone material which is hypo-allergenic and has a longer work life than latex.
- Weight: EXO-BR 4.65 pounds
- Mask Frame: Mask Frame Poly Carbonate
- Lens: Tempered Glass
- Face Seal: Neoprene Blend
- Regulator Body: Noryl®
- Hardware: Stainless Steel & Chromed Brass
- O-Rings: Buna-N
- Spider: Neoprene
- Recommended Lubricants: Christo-Lube®, Dow Corning® MS4 Silicone Lubricant. Krytox® and Halocarbon® are also acceptable.
- Regulator Performance: The Kirby Morgan EXO Balanced Regulator has been CE approved in Europe for scuba use in conjunction with the Kirby Morgan DSI First Stage Regulator and Overpressure Relief Valve.
- Cage Code: The cage code for identifying Kirby Morgan DSI products for U.S. government purposes is 58366.
- CR Standards: These masks meet or exceeds all standards established by Dive Lab of Panama City, Florida, and are CR (Commercially Rated) marked.
- CE Approved: Kirby Morgan EXO-BR masks are CE Approved.
- Operational Specifications and Limitations: The CE approved Kirby Morgan EXO-BR complies with EM 250 (edition May 1993). The EXO-BR has been CE tested for scuba use with the Kirby Morgan DSI SuperFlow first stage regulator. The Kirby Morgan EXO-BR has also been CE tested for surface supplied umbilical diving. Regardless of the mode being employed, all components used with, or in conjunction with the Kirby Morgan EXO-BR must be CE approved.
- Air Supply Pressure: All Kirby Morgan masks and helmets are designed for a maximum working supply pressure of 225 psig (15.5 bar). What this actually means is the gas train components i.e., intermediate supply hose, demand regulator and manifold assemblies are designed to operate at gas supply pressures of up to 225 psig (15.5 bar) above the surrounding ambient pressure.
The regulator adjustment knob is capable of holding back this pressure, with a little bias in reserve. This is so the professional working diver can adapt the helmet or mask to various types of supply systems found on dive stations throughout the world. It is not the intention that the mask or the helmet be normally operated at the high end pressure 225 psig. The normal maximum supply pressure to the Kirby Morgan EXO-26 BR should be dictated by the depth and selected in accordance with the specification lists for the mode of diving being employed.

- Description
The Kirby Morgan EXO-BR Full Face Mask with Male Waterproof Connectors was designed for both surface supplied as well as scuba diving! By enclosing the diver's eyes, nose and mouth, the Kirby Morgan EXO permits nearly normal speech when used in conjunction with most wireless, and all hardwire underwater communication systems. The Kirby Morgan EXO Mask's light weight design allows divers to work long dives without jaw or neck fatigue. This Kirby Morgan EXO dive mask has a modular communications design that permits rapid and simple maintenance. An optional Kirby Morgan Hard Shell gives added surfaces for mounting lights, cameras etc. The ear equalization device, the Kirby Morgan Nose Block which is adjustable to several different heights, fits a wide variety of noses and faces. The Kirby Morgan Oral Nasal helps keep the CO2 levels to a minimum and improves breathing and communications.
The Kirby Morgan Balanced Regulator EXO-BR was developed to meet strict new European CE requirements and is fully CE approved as well as U.S. Navy approved. This Kirby Morgan Dive Regulator meets and surpasses EN 250 requirements for regulator performance. The Kirby Morgan EXO-BR frame is the same safety yellow as the standard Kirby Morgan SuperLite Helmets and Kirby Morgan 18 and 28B Bandmasks.
The Kirby Morgan EXO-BR Balanced Regulator helps reduce the work of breathing for the diver. The regulator balances the intermediate air pressure against the valve sealing pressure inside the regulator. This enables the regulator to instantly adjust to changes in line pressure. The Kirby Morgan Balanced Regulator provides improved breathing and is adjustable for a wide range of intermediate pressures between 100 PSI - 230 PSI.

Product FAQ's
Do I need to use a Kirby Morgan Manifold Block Assembly with my EXO-BR mask?
Yes, when diving on surface supplied air, the diver requires a one-way valve to prevent the loss of air flow out of the mask in the event of a sudden lose of air pressure do to an accidental break in the air hose or fitting. Do not ever dive in surface supplied mode without a one-way check valve. The Manifold also allows for the diver's bailout system to be attached to the breathing system.
What do I need so I can use my OTS wireless communication system with the EXO-BR mask?
If we assume you are using the SSB-2010 Diver's Through-Water Transceiver, then you would need to install an EMA-2B Earphone/Microphone assembly on your EX0-BR mask. You would then connect the EMA-2B HI-USE Connector to your SSB-2010 transceiver. Once everything is connected and turned on, you should be able to communicate with the surface.
How do I connect my bailout bottle to the EXO 26 Full Face Mask?When using the EXO in surface supplied mode, the manufacturer recommends using a Kirby Morgan Diver's Manifold Block. The manifold block has a one way valve that the umbilical attached to, an emergency valve that the bailout system would attach too and low pressure ports for attaching the mask hose, dry suit inflators, and other accessories.

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Seems like all the mining giants are suffering write-downs at the moment. Earlier this month it was Rio Tinto, and now it's Anglo American, which has written down the value of its Minas-Rio iron ore project in Brazil by $4bn. This looks odd against the positive production figures that both companies posted in the last quarter - but the mining industry is cyclical - and the move anticipates a bit of a tougher season. So far only Rio Tinto have had to get rid of their chief exec though: their mistake - a $3bn writedown on an African coal project - was just too big. Cynthia Carroll of Anglo American is unlikely to see the same fate as Tom Albanese. Here's the FT: Ms Carroll's mistake over Minas Rio in Brazil was more forgivable than Mr Albanese's. She underestimated the ability of Brazilian bureaucracy to delay development work. But the mine remains a valuable asset, expected to produce ore at a cash cost of $30 a tonne compared with a forecast 2013 average sale price of $120. Mr Albanese overestimated the quality of Rio's coal reserve in Mozambique. That undercut his credibility as a miner. But it's the season to be cautious. BHP have written down asset values, and there is speculation that Xtrata could be on its way. › Everyone has aspirations.

I'm coming home, coming home. It is great to be back guys and now that I am back, it is time to make some bold predictions. Back at Payback, I got 3/10 so I dropped a little but until the WWE becomes bold (which they won't), I will not get many points. Before I start, the United States Championship match is on: Ambrose vs Ziggler is happening so we got that! Here we go
10. Primetime Players
Here I am again to bring you predictions that, while might not be right, but will be bold. At Extreme Rules, I got 4/10....well, hmmm. Anyways, I bring to you 10 bold predictions for Payback!

I was thinking of saying Sandow will win with this nice push, but this is what I really want to see. Sandow looks like he will lose, Rhodes
Here I am again to bring you predictions that, while might not be right, but will be bold and that will be a big thing. At Wrestlemania 29, I got 4.5/10....well, at least I am increasing. No wonder I sucked at the prediction contest for Wrestlemania. Anyways, I bring to you 10 bold predictions for Extreme Rules!
10. Cody Rhodes frustration from pre-show will lead to him being face and
Here I am again to bring you predictions that, while might not be right, but will be bold and that will be a big thing. At the royal rumble, I got 3/10....well, they are meant to be bold, so let us see what happens this time. So I bring to you 10 bold predictions for Wrestlemania 29

Hello, Nitro here and I am going to bring you 10 Bold Predictions for this year. Will they happen? Who knows! While reading this, none of them are in order, all are the same level.
1. Wade Barrett will not win a world championship this year
This might make some mad, but every year it is predicted so I will predict it again. I believe 2014 will be the strike of gold for him
Welcome to another edition of my blogs, Nitro_99 here bringing you another countdown. Through the PG Era, there have been many complaints about certain things andpeople have been angry with the overall product. Even though the product changes, the wrestlers don't and they have the ability to make a feud escalate from good to amazing. In 2008, I officially started watching wwe so I never saw attitude
So, I am back if you at all remember me. I am here to share with you the card that I want. Some of it is already announced and some are different. So here we go.
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs John Cena
It is true that we saw this match-up a lot last year, but not only is it announced, but it is the right way to go. This builds to later next year and this time, different circumstances
Hello and welcome everybody to a new regular blog I will be doing. I am Nitro and if you haven't seen my other blogs, some are good, some are bad. Meh. Anyways, this blog will be going down 5 topics of the week that made me think. Might have to change the title but continuing on, let's look at the week. *Note* This is only WWE.
1. Here to show the world......I think?
Hello, Once again. I once did a post about it and since Primo and Epico are tag team champions, I wanted to re-post it and what I would have done.
So, it starts with Kofi saying that Bourne is out for a couple of months due to injury (lies but who cares?). Kofi says that he will find a new partner and he will fill the tag team spot. Primo and Epico are taunting Kofi for several

Matthews, NC, Beauty School Hosts Entertaining Open House EventBlog ▸ Campuses | March 29, 2011
The Matthews, North Carolina, Empire Beauty School hosted their Celebrating Mom open house event in conjunction with the schools local competition for Empire Education Group's Future Professionals Expo.
"It was an amazing event. There was so much creativity and talent that I was so thankful I did not have to be a judge," smirked Angela Parkman, Academic Director for the Matthews Empire Beauty School.
Guests who arrived at the school for the open house were treated to the entertaining competition, as well as refreshments and free beauty services which were performed by the senior level students.
A representative from the school's adopted shelter, The Shelter for Battered Women, was also in attendance to accept a check in the amount of $1,868.45 from the students and staff. The money was raised during the school's participation in Empire Education Group's National Day of Beauty event.
"The students were extremely excited during the check presentation. So much so that the representative from the shelter acknowledged that she has been to many check presentations, but this was by far the most energy she had seen exhibited at any of them," said Parkman.
The shelter representative, Debbie Wolf, expressed the shelter's gratitude for the support that the students and staff continue to give the shelter. The funds will help the shelter continue to assist women and children every day. Wolf then explained how the shelter protects and assists the residents of the facility, women and children, and how great it is to have the support from the Empire Beauty School.

POLICE were assaulted and had to use riot gear for the first time in their careers as a result of disorder outside the Brunel Rooms.
Incident logs and evidence released in advance of a Swindon Council licensing review for the club, which has now closed, shows the force are owed almost £3,000 in security costs for two all-night events at the club last year, and detail a long list of incidents of violence and breaches of the licence conditions.
The former directors have said the terms imposed on them by police had forced them to leave the club.
Jason Ranford, 27, said: "We want to draw a line under the whole issue, and will not make any further comments about the Brunel Rooms. We will not be going to the licensing review as we are giving up the licence."
The most serious incident logged occurred after rapper Wiley failed to show up for a gig on November 3.
"Officers attended the premises at 3.03am to find a male had been bottled in the VIP area causing injury and the atmosphere was heated and hostile," said PC Sian Kalynka, licensing officer for Swindon, in a report for the licensing committee.
"All available officers within Swindon at that time were sent to this area in order to deal with the situation at this one licensed premises."
Two officers were dragged yards along the road in an attempt to pacify a large man, and left in a vulnerable position as they were surrounded by a group of his friends.
PC Winter was left with a broken hand after another man resisted arrest, and PS Spargo and Insp Longdon were forced to use batons and incapacitant spray to control the situation.
In the report, Insp Longdon said: "Such was the force and fury of his blind aggression I believed that if he broke free he was capable of killing another person. I sensed we were about to be overwhelmed and he would use his size and power to inflict a very serious, potentially fatal, attack."
Further incidents included one of racial abuse on September 8, where two men exited the Brunel Rooms, one of whom dropped a knife while giving chase.
Over the course of the opening weekend, a man was arrested for three separate assaults, and on the opening night at around 2.30am disorder erupted between clubbers and security staff.
A number of incidents linked to the venue have Jason Ranford named as a suspect, including an assault for which he served a four week prison term, but most were not pursued after the victims refused to make official complaints.
Ranford strongly disputes the allegations. "No prosecutions were made against me, because there was no evidence of the incidents taking place," he said.
Licence breaches were found to have occurred regularly by Ranford, who police claimed would insist the DJ played past opening hours to allow groups of his friends into the club who were on Pubwatch's banned list.
The licensing panel scheduled for February 19 will no longer go ahead.
A spokesman for Swindon Council said: "The licence review has now been cancelled as the holders have surrendered their licence."

The big news in today's employment report is the revisions to prior months.
The report showed that the economy added 157,000 new jobs last month, about in line with consensus forecasts. The unemployment rate was 7.9%, just a little higher than last month's 7.8% rate. But the job growth for November was revised to up 247,000 from up 161,000 and the change for December was revised to up 196,000 from up 155,000. And in the annual benchmark revision process found 647,000 more jobs in total over the past 12 months, bringing the total number of working Americans to 134.668 million from 134.021 million.
The rest of the report had some mixed elements. The average workweek for production and non-supervisory personnel fell by 0.1 hours to 33.6 hours. There were slight wage gains, as average hourly earnings for this category rose by five cents, and average hourly earnings for all employees rose by four cents. For all employees, aggregate weekly payrolls (combining number of employees, the hours each person worked and how much they earned per hour) rose by 0.4%, which will flow into earnings metrics tabulated in other economic data.
The employment-to-population ratio held steady at 58.6%, just a hair higher than the 58.5% a year ago. In other words, not that many more people as a percentage of the population are working, even though the unemployment rate ticked down to 7.9% from 8.3% from 12 months ago.
Where did all those people go, if not employed? They went into the category of "not in the labor force," whose ranks rose by about 1.1 million to 89.008 million from 12 months ago (these data are not seasonally adjusted). Some, no doubt, are retiring baby boomers, as the population ages. Not all of them fall into the discouraged worker category, as those numbered 804,000, down from 1,059,000 a year ago, posting a drop of 264,000 from a month ago (these data are not seasonally adjusted). The ranks of those marginally attached, such as staying at home with the kids or going back to school, fell by nearly 400,000 from a year ago and by about 170,000 from last month to reach 2.443 million.
The broadest category of unemployment, the U-6 rate, held steady at 14.4%. This rate includes those who are working part time but who want a full-time job as well as those who are discouraged and those who may have suspended their job search while they go back to school or stay home with the kids.
For those who are still looking after six months without work, the number of the long-term unemployed fell to 4.708 million, down from 5.522 million a year ago. These people were 38.1% of the unemployed, down from 39.1% last month and 43.0% a year ago. This seems to be good news, though some of them undoubtedly dropped out of the labor force.
Employment in retail trade rose by 33,000 in January. Another low-wage sector is leisure and hospitality (including food service), which added 23,000 jobs. With about a third of new jobs created in January being in these low wage sectors, on one hand, it isn't encouraging, but on the other hand, some consumers must be shopping and eating out more.
For middle class and higher-skilled jobs, the picture wasn't as rosy. Manufacturing employment was essentially unchanged in January and has changed little, on net, since July 2012. Manufacturing jobs often require more skilled labor and even college degrees for some jobs, perhaps unlike in decades past.

IT is like Lionel Messi or Christian Ronaldo turning up for the Dog and Duck football team.
The King Alfred pub has just won the Winchester Pub League for the tenth time in 20 years.
Its line-up includes Kevin Ashman, better known for his role on TV Eggheads and as Brain of Britain and with the record score in Mastermind in 1995.
Kevin has been a member of the Hyde pub team for some 20 years and his extraordinary knowledge gives his team a hefty advantage. He is believed to be the only person ever to get every question right on Mastermind.
But other teams say they have no problem with his taking part.
Mike Sinker, landlord of the Bakers Arms, said: "It is quite an honour to play against him. He is a very pleasant chap."
Nic Whybrow, landlady of the Crown and Anchor, agreed: "He is very nice as is the whole King Alfred team. He is not star struck; he is very down to earth and does not talk about his fame."
Pete Byford, captain of the Crown and Anchor, said: "Everyone enjoys competing with him. There is a friendly atmosphere. He is a lovely chap. He doesn't win everything. We beat him in the cup."
King Alfred captain Michael Morris said: "When Kevin first joined he had not won anything. His aunt lived near the pub and Kevin came in and we got chatting and he joined the team.
"Now he has become quite famous and he has to cope with people recognising him. At first there were some people who said it was unfair a professional doing quizzes.
"But now people say they look forward to playing a team with Kevin. It is a big challenge."
But King Alfred is not unbeatable. Mr Morris, of Monks Road, Hyde, said: "We won five times without him and we have lost with him."
Kevin told the Chronicle: "There are several good teams. I have been playing since the league started, so I have squatters' rights. I enjoy it, it keeps the brain sharp.
"It's all done in the right spirit. I can't recall anyone saying anything."
The league started in 1994 and is currently sponsored by the Winchester Business Improvement District.

"It is an honor and a pleasure to meet with Foreign Minister Youssouf and other ministers today. I am here to build on last month's important meeting between President Obama and President Guelleh, and to deepen the partnership between USAID and the Government of Djibouti. As a result of our work together, Djibouti has witnessed extraordinary gains. In the past decade alone, we've seen Djibouti's maternal mortality cut by half, and its primary school enrollment jump by 25 percent.
"In support of our shared priorities, USAID will be investing in programs to support the development of Djibouti's labor force and energy sector. Working hand-in-hand with the Government of Djibouti, these targeted investments will unlock opportunity, reduce extreme poverty, and promote innovation.
"Through job training programs—including technical training for job seekers and management education for employers—we will help to empower Djibouti's workforce to compete in the global marketplace. At the same time, we will work to catalyze investment in renewable energy projects that can light up thousands of homes and businesses across the country. By collaborating with local partners, we will not only tailor these investments to areas of need, but will promote sustainable development for generations to come.
"Our Agency looks forward to our continued work together, and to helping Djibouti shape a more prosperous and inclusive future. Thank you."

For some employees at Yahoo's offices in Sunnyvale, New York City and elsewhere, style has graduated from the laid-back look associated with Internet startups to a more polished presentation.
"I did try out the 'Hey, I work at an Internet company' look," said Erin McPherson, VP of Yahoo Video, who wore Chuck Taylors, jeans and a rockabilly plaid shirt when she first joined the company. "That whole day I felt awkward, so I've gone back to what works for me, which is a tailored, structured look."
"That was also the era of the Ping-Pong table and everyone's just playing games all day," said Piper Weiss, who opts for dresses most of the time. At some point, she said, the Internet went from a mere novelty to serious business. "In a reactive way, style has evolved."
The Dress Code: There is none. On the Sunnyvale campus, sneakers and hoodies still have their place without defining office style. "It's a smorgasbord," said Myles Weinstein, product manager of mobile. "We get people in suits—the people in the M&A side will wear slacks and pressed shirts, and we get the engineers that wear sandals and shorts and T-shirts. It's all over."
Trickle-Down Style: Many employees cite CEO Marissa Mayer as a style inspiration and role model. "The other day she had on this amazing peppermint green dress and I liked the accessories and the way she accented it with other things," said Sandy Gould, SVP of Talent Acquisition. "She has a very streamlined look which I really like, and also very colorful."
"It's exciting to have a female leader that you can all sort of look up to, and she is stylish," said Jennifer Romolini, editor in chief of Yahoo Shine. "We've all upped our game."

Phelps to serve in versatile relief role
DETROIT -- With Phil Hughes rejoining the Yankees' rotation on Saturday, David Phelps will be asked to fill a bridge role between the team's starters and its late-inning relievers.
Manager Joe Girardi said that he can use Phelps in several different roles because the team still plans to carry Adam Warren as a long reliever. Right-hander Cody Eppley was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move to activate Hughes.
Warren is recovering from throwing 84 pitches in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, and right-hander Shawn Kelley has been used in three of the club's first four games.
That prompted New York to scrap Hughes' scheduled rehabilitation start at Triple-A, summoning him to Detroit instead. Hughes' last outing came on Monday for Class A Tampa in an extended spring training game, throwing seven scoreless innings.
"We don't really have a long guy if we start Phelpsie today, so we felt if something were to happen with Phelpsie, we'd have a little trouble there," Girardi said. "It was kind of out of necessity. We wanted him to make one more start, but he's going to make it here."
Phelps made a team-leading seven starts in Spring Training, but his only appearance of the season thus far has come in relief, tossing 1 1/3 innings behind CC Sabathia's start on Opening Day against the Red Sox.

When the U.S. Congress returns from recess on Monday, there will be just five working days to avoid across-the-board sequestration cuts, and prospects appear dim for a compromise that would avert these federal budget cuts. The general aviation community is sizing up the possible effects of sequestration on everything from the FAA's NextGen modernization program to the contract tower program, as well as the day-to-day operation of current air traffic control services and facilities.
"Without an agreement to avoid these budget cuts, the FAA will be forced to confront a budget reduction of approximately $627 million for this fiscal year," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. Most of the agency's 47,000 employees would see furloughs of one day per pay period, and possibly two, until the current fiscal year ends on September 30, he said.
Huerta warned that staffing cutbacks at the FAA would also require a reduction in some operational services. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said that, assuming cuts of almost 8.2 percent, the result could be the furloughing of between 2,000 and 2,200 controllers.

Multiple sources have stated that the sequestration is only a cut in the anticipated/ budgeted increases, and that the net change in the total federal budget is an increase in 15 billion dollars in expenditures over last year. Therefore, I would like to see this article explicitly state the amount of money budgeted before and after to give the complete picture.
On the other hand, if the sequestration were expressed as a percentage of the total federal budget (3.7 trillion $), it would be on the order of 1.6%. How does this small percentage translate to $627 million dollars and 47000 furloughs in the FAA during this fiscal year? How about a reduction in salaries to make up the 1.6%? That would still be quite minor compared to what the private sector has gone through.

Could not express the ridiculousness, crisis fostering, and absurdity of this article any better than you.
As Rahm has often stated, "never let a good crisis go to waste"...even if completely manufactured.
Thank heavens we have the press to sort all of this out (he said in satire and parody, as "we the people" surely do not).

February 22, 2013 - 4:06pm
Look, you can blame the media all you want, but the media's job is to report the news, not create it.
If you think this is made up news, then why did the FAA and DOT come out today and outline exactly how sequestration will affect the FAA? It certainly isn't pretty–the plan includes closing 100 air traffic control towers at airports, eliminating overnight ATC services at 60 more and employee furloughs. Read our update at http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/2013-02-22/lahood-predicts-widespread-tower-closings-atc-delays. If you don't think this will affect you, then you will soon have a rude wake-up call coming.

February 22, 2013 - 7:16pm
Give me a break, what we are talking about here is not a cut from todays spending at all. The cut is in future budgeted spending increases through the 2013 physical year. The total sequestration dollar amount we are talking about is about $88,000,000 out of a $3,700,000,000,000 budget. Half of this or $44,000,000,000. is a reduction in our defense budget. All other budget cuts (not spending cuts) will come out of all other federal spending. The administration through its departments will determine how the remaining $44,000,000,000 will be applied. This amounts to about a 1% decrease in planned spending increases. If this was your home budget you wouldn't even be considering an increase in spending unless you had automatic pay increases as federal employees do.

While the media "reports" the news, the White House is trying to create mass panic in order to get the public to flood their representatives with calls and mail and once again get their way. The media doesn't always help the situation even though they think they are only reporting the news. Do you really think that the Government is being honest and straighforward with the public right now? If so, report away. You are only helping their agenda to continue spending until we are completely bankrupt.

Does anyone really believe that, out of a 2% cut, they can't find anything else to cut besides services that will affect the general public like the FAA?
This is just US Politics at it's worst...

Regarding the sequester, as a pilot and business aviator, I was particularly struck by Secretary LaHood's remarks Friday as he rolled out his part of the administration's "Washington Monument" chicken little strategy. The sad part is that he is willing to sacrifice the safety of the flying public in an overt political move.
Let's do the math. $1 Billion in sequester cuts is 1.34% of the FY2013 DoT budget, which reflects a 2% increase over FY2012. The only substantial cuts in the budget was to the FAA, down 5%, or $730 million already, while increasing spending in surface transportation on highways and high speed rail. So, using the approved scare tactics strategy, Secretary LaHood proposes another $600 million in FAA cuts (60%), which has the highest number of employees - with many in ATC and Tower operations directly involved in a mission to protect the skies and make them safe. This administration continues it's war on business aviation and the economy with the sole purpose of scoring political points.

Sigaloavada Sutta has alms offerred on behalf of the dead -- which is clearly a pre-Buddhist custom such as that mentioned in the first part of the Mahāparinibbana.
Tirokudda Kanda Sutta: has clean good and drink offereed to pretas, but the merit accrued is one's own.
Janussonin Sutta: http://online-dhamma.net/nanda/AccessTo ... .than.html
This sutras says that gifts made to one's ancestors who have been reborn as hell beings, animals, gods or human cannot be enjoyed by them. However, gifts made to hungary ghosts can be enjoyed by them. In all cases the donor enjoys the merit of the gift.
How does that apply to ganapujas and general offerings to various beings from the six lokas then? Enlightened beings don't even need our little offerings of course but Nagas, genii loci, gods etc. Does the "outer" offering then have any value at all?

The trail replaced one of the existing downhill trails and in doing so, brought the area up to par with some of the best downhill sites in England.
The club had to overcome a number of challenges, not least creating a timber retaining wall for long sections of trail and accessing the steep hillside on foot and with diggers and dumpers to both build and surface the trail. This work was made even more challenging as they had to put up with one of the wettest summers on record for 100 years.
'Surface to Air' was completed late in the summer of 2012 and opened in November; the short video showcasing the trail has had just under 80,000 views so far . Since the trail opened, not a weekend has gone by where Aston Hill hasn't been busy with new and returning riders coming up to ride the new trail.
A testament to the work of the club, committee and the dedicated band of volunteers whose sweat and spadework went into creating Surface to Air.

In just a few short days, Razer will be unveiling the future of gaming at the Dolby Theater in San Francisco! Razer is teasing that it is thinner than a dime and obviously has to do with gaming.
Some think this could just be a Razer Blade powered by an Intel Haswell processor and others think it could be a mouse pad. What do you think? You can watch the YouTube video that is apparently supposed to hype up a big announcement that is happening on Thursday, May 30th. A US dime is just 1.35 mm thick, so it can't be too many things!

Well, it's been a long season. But for the first time in a while, it's ultimately been an enjoyable season. Maybe if you were expecting playoffs then you're disappointed but I think the playoffs were an unrealistic goal to begin. Sure, the East is bad enough we had a chance to make the playoffs, but why? The season (for me) was more about seeing some individual and team growth. In the past we've had some players who weren't interested in being the best team player they could be.
This season sure looked like a group of coachable players who had an idea that their best chance of winning was as a team.
I don't necessarily think wholesale changes are needed on the player front. Obviously, some things are going to happen naturally anyway. I hope we can finally move/buyout Tinsley just to keep that potential distraction from popping up. I think Dun's injury has been a blessing in disguise because it opened the door for Brandon Rush. I don't think our improved record and better defense can be explained many other ways than by what these guys brought to the starting lineup. Personally, I think they deserved more minutes sooner.
Marquis' injury was also a blessing in disguise because I think it makes the decision to not pick up his option not only likely but and easy and prudent decision. With Rush coming into his own and a potential Dunleavy return, I'm fine with keeping Graham around unless a 'can't pass' guy falls into our lap. I think Graham offers us consistency with the lineup and I think that (consistency... an extra year together in the system....) will be a major factor for next season.
Unlike some of you, I applaud Troy Murphy. Not only do I think he was doing what the coach wanted but he was doing it with a tremendous amount of heart and passion. Sure, he has his limitations (see: defense), but I cannot fault his effort. I think he played his heart out every minute he was on the floor. That is contagious for the other players.
Hibbert is a player who occasionally showed real flashes that he has a potential long and positive future as the Pacers starting center. He has his limitations as well, but I think questions about his quickness (or lack thereof) were overblown. Ultimately, it's going to be a combination of his smarts and figuring out how to use his size in the NBA as well as the officials not giving him the quick whistle and no benefit of the doubt. One helps feed the other. And going a long way in all of that I think is the need to get a big man coach for him.
Jarret Jack is a player I'd like to see return although I wouldn't give him the franchise to keep him. I agree with Peck that Jack got too many minutes. I think Diener deserved more minutes than he got. You'd think somewhere in there is a happy medium. For all the talk about Diener's defensive liabilities, the team on the court in the 4th qtr (with Diener and Jack) actually played some pretty good defense in the final game.
That brings us to Josh McRoberts. I think McRoberts should be a keeper as long as his salary demands are reasonable. I think he should've gotten more minutes this season. He's an energy guy and brings hustle to the floor... and he can bring offense as well as defense. Let him play the energizer bunny role and come in and disrupt the other team when a burst of energy or change of pace is needed. I think the way his minutes were doled out this year were a little unfair because I think he entered the games he did with the idea he had to try a little too hard. I think that burned him the one game where he must've set a record for fouls.... And I think at least a couple of those fouls were questionable and the whole thing snow-balled to a point O'Brien sent him to the end of the pine for a little too long. If anything, I think he needed to be put back on the horse that threw him and gotten into the next game for some controlled minutes. I see McRoberts as a potential successor to Foster with a much higher ceiling. That doesn't mean I think he should get Foster-sized minutes... I think Foster has historically gotten too many minutes and has been too much of a Pacers safety blanket.
I'm not as down on Ford as some of you are. He's not perfect and he does some frustrating things, but he also does some good things. I expected more from his defense due to his quickness but I think another season with the team and our game will help him. He may never be Mark Jackson but he's not Travis Best either... although he's obviously more Travis than Mark. And he's way more consistent than Tinsley and consistency is important in a PG. And (so far) he has all the appearances of being more of a team player and particularly more of a coachable player than Tinsley.
Granger probably had one of the best regular seasons as a player that the NBA Pacers have seen. We pretty much saw everything with Granger this season. Offensive growth, an All-star nod, leadership, 4th quarter growth, a better understanding of the game and the players around him, timely defense, etc.. He even quieted Robertmto's early season complaints that he wasn't a 4th qtr player
Granger grew into his leadership role and appears to have the respect of his teammates and TPTB. That's not something that can be said of JO. I suspect that is not all due to the things we see and know about. I think dedication to the game, practice, etc are factors in that.
I'm not the biggest Jim O'Brien fan because quite frankly, I can't figure out what he really wants. Maybe, just maybe, he's building a system and allowing some things to happen for player growth. Maybe the 3rd year is when he says: "OK, you guys can shoot the ball. You know how to score and you know what each other offensive abilities are. Now, let's play some defense and make that the final piece of the puzzle and not only make the playoffs but win in the playoffs"
...A guy can dream can't he?
But I have to give him credit for getting this team to play HARD. Nearly every game he had them playing with effort and passion. Maybe some of that is simply having players who aren't lazy in the first place and maybe that is contagious. In any case, it's been a while since we've seen that as a whole and it's good to see. It's one of the things that has me so positive about the future. Even when the team got down, they tended to make a run and not let anyone walk over them. That is another sign of heart. It also might be a sign our talent isn't as lacking as some are making it out to be. We might not be so far off afterall. I have to wonder if internally the team and O'Brien have a different set of goals than we've been privy to. That may be why he's able to keep the team playing hard because they know the bigger picture even if it isn't being advertised to the masses for PR reasons.
I still don't think I'd pick up his option. Let's see what the plan is for next year and how it pans out. I don't particularly think he's a lame duck coach since the team does have that option in their pocket. Plus, if the team really does like playing for him they can rally around him and win for him.
The other thing that gives me hope is that Donnie Walsh is gone. That is something that had to happen and IMHO it was way overdue. The team and fans needed some real changes in the team. Not tweaks. We all needed to see some light at the end of the tunnel and meaningful changes. Bird and Morway managed to change the culture of this team in a rather short amount of time after Walsh was gone. I don't think that was mere coincidence. Also, I know Bird got the blame for S. Williams but Williams sure looked like a Walsh kind of pick... A young player, a tweener (SF/PF), with the 'potential' tag on him. And therein lies a problem.... the team was going nowhere and in need of change (even some change for change's sake) but as long as Walsh/Bird/Morway were all here who is to say who did what moves with the team? Having a management team, especially one of questionable matching goals, tends to be a bit paralyzing anyway (in any endeavor). Then factor in Walsh, a historically slow mover, having final say and I think it's clear why he had to go. He was running the franchise into the ground and keeping his head too far in the sand.
Now we know where the blame lies if things come crashing down. No Teflon Don or Loony Larry to choose from.
So, to sum it all up.... I couldn't be happier with how this season has played out. The playoffs mean nothing to me until I believe the team is ready. I really think next year the team will be ready. We're going to get a draft pick to play with... we've got some assets we could potentially utilize and we will more than likely have some consistency next season no matter what with our core. And this coming season, having consistency with the core is a good thing... it means we're keeping players who understand team basketball and appear to have pride in their Pacers' jersey. And maybe... maybe... there is a plan with what O'Brien has been building toward.
I'm not a guy who has to have a winning record to be satisfied every year, but I have to see a team making progress and getting closer to an ultimate goal of getting a championship. A team that is never satisfied, from the end of the bench, to management, to ownership. Moral victories are something to be found in your career retrospective, not in the season. I want a team on the floor that plays the right way.... and a management team that wants to use that effort and desire, that "playing the right way", to ultimately construct a championship team.
Right now I feel awfully good about the future of this team. I offer my thanks to the current players and management for what appears to be the first step in righting this ship and turning away from the iceberg.... not just rearranging the deck chairs.

Last month, a 19-year-old Native American high school student at J B Pennington High School in Blountsville, Alabama was told he couldn't wear an eagle feather if he wanted to graduate. When Sky Walkingstick, of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, explained it was a demonstration of his beliefs protected under federal law, he was still told by Assistant Principal Steven Bryson, a former history teacher, and another instructor, William Smitherman, who teaches government, economics and 9th grade history, to remove it.
"I was just starting the graduation ceremony and I had my eagle feather in my cap, it was hanging from the tassel. I was walking towards Mr. Smitherman he saw my eagle feather and stopped me. He started shaking his head no. He said you cannot wear that during the graduation," said Walkingstick.
"I asked him why not and he said, 'you just can't."
Walkingstick, who has been a men's traditional dancer since age 5 and a fancy dancer for about a year says the eagle feather is part of his heritage, his religious beliefs and achievements. He said he tried to explain that the wearing of a feather was also protected, but he was shut down.
"I started to get upset and tear up, but I held it in. I put my eagle feather back in my car. When I came back Mr. Smitherman and Mr. Bryson told me again," said Walkingstick.
Walkingstick was surprised two educators with backgrounds in teaching history and government aren't aware of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act.
Walkingstick complied during the May 23 graduation ceremony, even though he didn't want to. "I didn't want any trouble nor did I want to cause a ruckus… I went ahead with graduation with my feather in my heart and my head held high."
His mother, Hollye Walkingstick, was frustrated by the situation. "You would think of all people, that history teacher would be more aware. It made me very mad," she said.
"I asked Mr. Bryson 'can you tell me why he can't wear it?' He said, 'the main reason is that all of the kids are required to look the same. I told him there was no dress code the kids had to sign and no one was told they had to wear certain things. I told him you would not tell a Christian person to remove their cross or a Jewish person to remove their Star of David. And I can guarantee you that if you had a Muslim child in your school you would not tell her to remove her head covering. You could not do that by law."
She explained that Sky respected Bryson's wishes because he is an elder and the assistant principal. "But this is a school, you could turn this into a real teaching opportunity," Hollye told Bryson.
Hollye said she and the teachers argued that other students—honor students—wore adornments in their tassels. She also said the school accepts funding for having minority students, but doesn't support their beliefs.
"My daughter asked Mr. Bryson if he understood what the eagle feather meant and he said 'Oh yeah, I know you all smoke peace pipes and what you smoke in them.' This is a former history teacher who is now the vice principal and the history teacher was standing right next to him," Hollye said. "This is unreal to me."
J.B. Pennington High School principal Brian Kirk said the school has no comment on the issue and referred ICTMN to the Blount County Board of Education Superintendent Jim Carr, who has not returned several calls.
This isn't the first time a graduating senior has taken flack for wearing an eagle feather at graduation from an Alabama school. Chelsey Ramer, a Poarch Creek Band of Indians student who recently graduated from Escambia Academy in Atmore, Alabama faced a similar situation. She did wear her feather though and nearly had to pay a $1,000 fine for doing so. (Related story: "Poarch Creek Student Not Required to Pay Fine, Receives Diploma")

Well my vikes lost there last two and backed there way into the playoffs, while everyone said this should be an easy win for the packers.
Steve Young on his pick for the game: "Packers, this has gotta be the easiest pick all season" wow did that 1 blowup in his face
On to the game, Vikes defense actually showed up and the offense played a great 1st half and a steady 2nd half. The defense was gettin pressure on Farve all day and picked a lot of bad passes. The key was anytime there was a play the defense was tackling and bringing players down on the first hit. Its hard to believe how different this team looked in 1 game compared to the whole season. Not sure if we can keep playing like this but it shows we are capable.
Now on to the real show, The Moss Moon. Add to the fact in the first half Randy's choice of words for packer fans on the sideline when they were hounding him, Moss pointed to the score board and told them to "Look at the Motherf'n score"
I dont know what to think of his dance and choice of words but I know for a fact Randy rallied his team today and made them step there level up. As for being classless and disgusting, he only simulated mooning the crowd it was all in fun, more disgusting was Brett Farve swinging with a fist at several Viking players and not recieving a flag.
Just want to hear your opinions on the game, moss etc.

A GROUP of friends are organising a charity night after one of them was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Laura Hodgkinson, of Bag Lane, Atherton, was having IVF treatment when a golf-ball-sized tumour was found near her bladder and she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
After undergoing intense radiotherapy, two courses of internal Brach therapy and four chemotherapy treatments, Laura is nearing the end of her treatment and decided to hold a charity night to raise money for The Christie.
The 27-year-old, who is currently on sick leave from her job as a link worker at a Sure Start centre, said: "I wanted to raise money for The Christie because they have been so great during my treatment but I also want to encourage other women to go for cervical screening.
"My 'besties', as I call them, have been amazing. I asked them for help while I was still ill and they have done everything I have asked to make this happen."
Laura met her best friends Julianne Foster, Carla Grainey, Kerrie Lamb and Jennifer King when they all danced for the Hag Fold Morris Dancers.
Julianne said: "There is still a chance that, after the treatment, if the tumour has not gone Laura will then have to undergo a radical hysterectomy.
"The aim is to raise as much money as we can for a very good cause and at the same time celebrate Laura's future, because without The Christie this may not have been possible."
The event will be held at Formby Hall in Atherton on May 10 and the group are asking for businesses to donate prizes for the raffle.
"We are asking if you can help, please donate a prize.
"Anything would be much appreciated and nothing will be turned away,"
Julianne added.

Good looking dyes dave.
I'm not very artistic either but one thing that worked for me was some of those vinyl letters from hobby stores. I bought a variety pack and made some pretty funny stuff. The only problem is then the letters are the color of the disc and the background is dyed.

The line only needs to be about the length of a pillow case.
Then pin a white pillow case to the line.
Bring in a light source. We used a tall lamp with the lampshade removed. We put the light about one foot away from the pillow case. We ran an extension cord to the house to bring power. You could also use a camping lantern.
Wait at least 10 minutes. Slowly the insects will become attracted to your light and will land on the white pillow case or towel. Then you can observe them up close.
On your clipboard, you could draw some of the bugs you see, or keep track of approximately how many of each type came to your bug observation station.

Symptoms of seasonal allergy from airborne pollen include itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, and clogged and runny nose. Researchers thought that Pycnogenol might be more effective if participants began taking it before allergy season.
In one study, 39 people took 50 mg of Pycnogenol each morning and evening, or a placebo, five to eight weeks before birch-allergy season. By the end of the season, signs of allergic reaction were 61 percent greater for placebo than for Pycnogenol. The Pycnogenol group also had 35 percent fewer eye symptoms and 20 percent fewer nasal symptoms than placebo. Those who began taking Pycnogenol seven to eight weeks ahead of allergy season, compared to those who began five to six weeks ahead, had the greatest relief.

Hey, I was a regular mediator and had to give up because of life issues. Im not sure that i have done my meditation well but i know i tried hard in my younger days... Im still 23 anyway,
My question is when you meditate anapanasathi u think about the collision of the air on your nose tip right? I have been doing this but what should my mind picture of when im intending to keep up with the air collision on my nose tip? i always picture my nose tip, my mind automatically pictures a nose, i dont know how to overcome this picture.
What is the normal way of treating this issue? what does the scripts say on what your mind should picture of?
I need help asap, because i know my mind is acting as a little monkey on the tree. i need to add something more to my life.

gradually add more and more while still being able to get the towel to snap correctly.
I can snap the towel, but if I try to do anything that resembles my actual throw it's just a big old towel sweep.
Okay. First. Are you trying to snap the towel like you would snap it normally? If so, don't try and incorporate that into a throw. You want the loose arm, wrist, etc. but it's not the same motion. You stop and pull back to snap a towel normally. When you're trying to get the towel to snap from a disc throw the towel is popping because it's gone out so fast and reached the end of it's length, like a whip uncoiling. With your disc throw, you create all the power in your throw and you follow through, with a normal towel pop, you just bring your hand back to create that power.
If the towel is swooping, then it's one of two things, either the motion (as I mentioned above) or you are not keeping the towel in close to your chest. Try holding the towel in the right pec position and do your normal x-step (or whatever) and then throw from the right pec, accelerate with a loose arm and imagine you are going to hit somebody with your elbow that is standing where you want to aim. When you "hit" them, your elbow should stop briefly and throw your lower arm out. As that happens, pull hard and fast toward that imaginary person you just elbowed.
If you can work in opening your wrist/extending your wrist from neutral to about 1/2" past neutral, then you'll get more pop. If you accelerate late, like the other guys said, you will follow through and you should hear the pop.

This is an experiment. The background is a piece of felt which I made some months ago. I have used bondaweb to stick the fragments of fabric together to build up the bark. The tree trunk has then been stitched to the background using free machine embroidery.
The next stage will be adding leaves to the trunk and around the top of the truncated branches to make a canopy.
I am not sure how this will all work out, so be patient with me.

Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd announced in a press conference Wednesday that he would return to the Tigers for his senior year rather than enter the NFL draft.
Boyd said he received an NFL draft evaluation of second or third-round. While he might have been able to improve his status at the NFL Scouting Combine, Boyd will instead work on his game at Clemson.
With his return, the Tigers are certain to be a preseason Top 10 team and in position to make a run at a national title.
Boyd redshirted in 2009 and played in seven games in 2010. In 2011, his star truly began to shine as he entered the year with the starting job. In the past two seasons, he has completed 63.2 percent of his passes. However, Boyd has also thrown 26 interceptions.
Boyd, a first-team All-ACC selection, is the first player in league history to post two 4,000-yard seasons of total offense.
If receiver DeAndre Hopkins returns and Sammy Watkins is able to return to his freshman form, the Tigers will enter 2013 with tremendous offensive potential.
