I pretty much figured it was a foregone conclusion that Danny is the odd man out regardless of what happens. That copeland signing is going to bite us in the butt.

Yep...all of us Granger Supporters will be proven right...because that is exactly what we are all expecting Granger to be when he returns and is healthy...the All-Star version of Granger to return from a 1+ year absense from playing basketball.

Lance maybe the better passer than GH and GH isn't a natural PG....but neither is Lance.

That's my new nickname for OJ, Solo or the 2015-2016 Pacers 1st round pick....."Corner"....as in which "Corner" will be "cut" ( as in, being included as sweetner ) to clear Copeland's salary from the books.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I really want someone to find me the obviously well-known thread where everyone on PD (except for the "really smart" people) has said "keep Granger over Lance no matter how bad Danny is or how good Lance becomes". There have been doubts expressed about how good Lance could be and optimism over how good Danny would be when he came back, but you'd think there was a huge contingent that would throw Lance to the curb if he won MVP so that Danny could get a new max contract to play during garbage time.
At some point this forum needs to go back to being about expressing opinions, not about abusing anyone whose opinions didn't pan out.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I don't like it....but if it came down to including one of the following as sweetner to clear Copeland's Contract from the book:
1 ) Whatever 2nd round picks that we have left in the near future
3 ) 2015-2016 1st round pick
4 ) Solo
I would begrudgingly do it if it mean clearing up to $4+ mil in 2014-2015 Salary from the Books. That would ( at worst ) give the Pacers roughly $10 million in Capspace to spend on re-signing either Granger ( not likely unless he came dirt cheap ) or ( more than likely ) Lance before going over the 2014-2015 Luxury Tax.
I am praying that Bird can work his magic and trade Copeland and a future 2nd round pick for an 2013-2014 Expiring Contract that is attached to a corpse of a Player....but I'm not going to hold my breath. There is a cost for dumping salary...and if that cost means that we significantly improve our chance to re-sign Lance...who I am beginning to think that some Team will OVERPAY to sign him as a UFA ( to the tune of $9+ mil )....then I am willing to accept that cost ( OJ, future 1st or Solo ).

It's not 71 next year... I believe it's close to 76. I think it's 75.7 or something.
I don't get why people assume we would have to include sweetener to get rid of Copeland.
IMO, most teams would perceive him as too expensive of a role player. We've unfortunately painted him as purely a 3point shooter with very average defense.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Is it this year or next that we have GS's 2nd rounder? I know we have an extra coming sometime.
It's easy to assume this. Under the new CBA...Teams are EXTREMELY reluctant to take on future Salary commitments. If they are willing to take on Copeland, I expect that there will be a price to pay for it. I'm hoping that it won't be anything more than a future 2nd rounder...but I would not be surprised if the asking price starts with a future 1st, OJ or Solo.

Is it absolute that the team won't go over the lux tax?
I mean, what if the team makes more money as a championship contender than the amount of money it would spend going over the tax?
Sure we've been constantly told the owners won't do it, but we haven't had a championship contender in a while. I would think that at the very least the math would be done.
While true you also have to take into consideration that, from my memory at least, Herb was one of the biggest proponents for moving towards something that is more of a "hard cap". He might not want to go over the LT just out of principle.
any way to keep both lance and danny?
no, i don't see that as a possibility at all.
most logical choice in my eyes is to let danny walk regardless. his age and health do not work as much in our favor as it does with lance.
The math doesn't favor the Pacers making much more money as a contender. League-wide revenue is evenly split among the 30 NBA teams, e.g. national TV contract, merchandise from NBA store, etc which is normally a good thing for the Pacers, but it does mean that their share won't rise even if they become more popular. The only avenue for increased revenue is through the local market, and no matter how popular the Pacers become, the local market just can't compare with the likes of NY or LA. I'm sure the local revenue will see a boost, but remember that Simon previously said that the Pacers were barely profitable even during their heyday in the 90s.
I don't think that's correct. In the old CBA, going over the tax by $3m will cost $3m - a dollar for dollar tax. Now, going over by $3m will cost $4.5m - a 1.5x rate. Going over by $5m brings up the rate to 1.75x, and so on.
The provision you refer to about tax teams losing LT money was also present in the old CBA. And actually that's not the way it's worded. See here:
So at most half the LT money is distributed to non-tax teams. This doesn't mean tax teams get a slice of the rest though. "League purposes" means anything from global promotion to propping up the D-league.Up to 50% of the tax money may be given to non-taxpaying teams. Note that there is no requirement that any of the tax money be distributed to teams in this manner.
Any tax money not distributed to teams will be used for "league purposes." In other words, at least 50% of the tax revenue will be used for league purposes each season.
What you're thinking about may be revenue sharing, which is new and a different animal from LT. It's not part of the CBA though, so we don't know much about it. For all we know, there's an informal (or formal) agreement among the owners that revenue sharing recipients not go over the tax. I mean, if you're NY or LA, would you be happy cutting a revenue sharing check to OKC or IND just so those teams can go over the tax?
I don't think there's a chance in hell Danny's a Pacer past next year, and that sucks. But what sucks more is that we've become elite w/o him (and there is ZERO causation there) and that's what a lot of people are going to remember that about him as a Pacer now that they're paying attention again for the first time in a decade.
So there's obviously only one way to end Danny's time here, him and Herb hoisting the O'Brien at BLF this summer and giving him a big gaudy ring whenever he comes here next season.

Next step in Dirks' rehab could be Triple-A Toledo
DETROIT -- Andy Dirks could be in line to have his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Toledo later this week. The Tigers outfielder, who had surgery on his back, went 2-for-7 in his first two games for low Class A West Michigan before entering what is expected to be his final home start for the Whitecaps on Sunday.
The Whitecaps hit the road Monday for Lake County, Ohio, just outside Cleveland. They'll play three games there before returning to Michigan for four games against Lansing next weekend. However, Toledo -- a relatively short drive from Lake County -- returns home Thursday for a 10-game, 11-day homestand.
Dirks began his rehab assignment on Friday, going 1-for-3 as the Whitecaps' left fielder before going 1-for-4 as their DH on Saturday. He can rehab for up to 18 more days before the Tigers have to make a move with him. If he needs longer than that, they could use a Minor League option on him.

Matthew turned 6 on July 30th while we were at the cottage.
We started the day with Matthew and his helpers opening his presents.
Now, he had lots of gifts, mostly from John Deere, but of course when he was finished opening he asked...is that it?
He later said he was really happy with all the gifts he received!
Seeing that it was his birthday and we were on vacation we told Matthew it would be his choice what we did that day.

Check weather and airport delays with our travel tracker. Our photo gallery features scenes from the Southern snowstorm.
Is it snowing where you are? Send your photos
Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- A winter storm that paralyzed the South churned up the Eastern Seaboard Tuesday, threatening heavy snowfalls and more misery for the Northeast.
The Southern storm left a trail of treacherous conditions from Arkansas to the Atlantic, closing schools and government offices and contributing to the traffic deaths of at least three people.
Southern states were crippled -- covered in sheets of ice that formed on roads, pavements, cars and atop the crunchy snow.
Meanwhile, with memories still fresh of a monster Christmas weekend storm, Northern states again braced for heavy accumulations of snow and potential blizzard conditions. The National Weather Service predicted 4 to 8 inches of snow in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area, 4 inches or more in northern New Jersey and 2 to 6 inches in southern Delaware from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning.
It will be all snow as well for the Interstate 95 corridor Tuesday night and Wednesday, with 8 to 12 inches predicted for the New York City area and between 12 to 16 inches in Boston, Massachusetts. The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for coastal Massachusetts, including Boston, on Tuesday night.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo activated the state's emergency management plan in an effort, he said, to ensure resources and equipment are positioned to clear roadways and respond to the approaching storm.
Officials declared a "weather emergency" and advised motorists to stay off the roads. The move restricts parking and allows authorities to remove vehicles that block roadways or impede snow plows.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who faced sharp criticism over the city's slow emergency response a few weeks ago, said, "It's going to be a difficult, difficult rush hour."
The city of Philadelphia declared a snow emergency Tuesday night, while public schools in Boston will be closed Wednesday because of the predicted snowfall.
At least 30 states were under some sort of winter storm watch or warning Tuesday, and states of emergencies were declared in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. Florida is currently the only U.S. state with no snow, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Normally bustling Southern cities such as Atlanta, Birmingham, Alabama, and Charlotte, North Carolina, were silenced by winter, with the crunch of snow boots the only sound in some neighborhoods.
Conditions are not likely to improve anytime soon as an Arctic low slides into the South, bringing with it plunging temperatures. Lows are predicted in the teens in many parts of the region and in single digits in higher elevations.
Roads resembled ice-skating rinks in Atlanta and parts of major interstates were closed.
The U.S. Postal Service said it was only able to deliver to roughly half of its north Georgia and Atlanta-area customers Tuesday. UPS did not make pickups or deliveries in portions of the Carolinas, Alabama and Georgia.
"The ice just made it dangerous and hazardous to ask employees to get out there today," said postal spokesman Michael Miles.
Atlanta police were dealing with so many accidents that the department announced it would only respond to those with injuries and provided an online form for drivers to report others.
The Georgia Department of Transportation warned that "no one should be driving north of Macon," which is in the middle of the state.
The worst problem was along Atlanta's normally jammed southern perimeter, which was blocked by semi-trucks that were stuck in the ice. At midday Tuesday, a 15-mile stretch of I-285 remained closed. Several truckers fell asleep in their stuck rigs, and in some cases, Georgia authorities had to call drivers on citizens band radio to wake them up, said Jill Goldberg, a Transportation Department spokeswoman.
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest, most arriving passengers decided to spend the night rather than risk the drive home, and shared space with stranded passengers who had no choice. Airport authorities handed out blankets and amenity kits, but they did little to ease frustrations.
Four out of five runways in Atlanta were operational Tuesday morning. Slick roads were a bigger problem, preventing many airline and airport employees from driving in to work.
Delta Air Lines canceled 1,700 Delta and Delta Connection flights, which represented roughly 30 percent of the airline's total flights Tuesday. The company said it had canceled some 800 flights scheduled for Wednesday.
AirTran Airways spokesman Christopher White said the airline was resuming operations slowly in Atlanta, but added it would take several days to get back to normal. The company canceled more than 260 flights Tuesday and has already canceled more than 50 Wednesday flights, he said.
Most of the canceled flights were into and out of Atlanta, but some were at Northeastern airports, including Boston; Philadelphia; Baltimore, Maryland, and others.
Michael Bernardo, an AirTran command center manager, said many of the same issues hampering passengers are also affecting airline workers.
Another problem is the icy conditions at the gates. While most of the runways are open, ice at the gates makes working conditions treacherous for those servicing the aircraft.
Both Delta and AirTran were offering one-time flight changes with no fees for a limited period.
In other parts of the South:
-- One person died Monday in a weather-related traffic accident in Alabama as parts of the state got 6 to 10 inches of snow, said state Emergency Management spokeswoman Yasamie Richardson.
-- Two people died Sunday and Monday in traffic accidents in Louisiana. Police cited icy road conditions as contributing factors.
-- North Carolina and South Carolina both experienced freezing rain and sleet. Mountainous areas have already seen up to 18 inches of snowfall. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford ordered state offices in 24 counties closed due to weather and the South Carolina Highway Patrol responded to 2,610 road-related incidents.
-- The Tennessee Department of Transportation reported extremely hazardous conditions in the mountainous east, but ice and snow also were causing problems in other parts of the state.
Meanwhile in New York, Bloomberg said his city would do everything possible to tackle the storm.
"We're going to spend the money," the mayor said, referring to 1,700 snow plows and 365 salt spreaders that sanitation workers will use to beat back the winter weather. "Then we'll figure out where it's going to come from."
Those same workers are at the center of a citywide investigation into whether their supervisors intentionally delayed cleanup efforts after the Christmas blizzard as a retaliatory measure for budget cuts and demotions.
"The sanitation workers have got to realize that people are going to be watching them," Bloomberg said at a news conference.
Sanitation union representatives have vehemently denied allegations of a deliberate slowdown, pointing to City Hall for the delayed response.
CNN's Dave Alsup, Rob Marciano, Tristan Smith, Moni Basu, Holly Yan, Andy Rose, Nick Valencia and Brian Walker contributed to this report.

Rox-Astros begins new Interleague chapter
HOUSTON -- Cubs-White Sox, Yankees-Mets, Cardinals-Royals and … Astros-Rockies? With the Astros making the switch to the American League this season, Colorado and Houston has become a new annual Interleague rivalry, and an odd one at that.
Rockies veteran Todd Helton said the lack of history between the two teams is obvious, but he likes coming to Houston.
"Great ballpark, plenty of hunting magazines and hot weather," he quipped about the city. "I'm on board."
Third baseman Nolan Arenado said the two squads are more similar than ever, despite now being in separate leagues.
"It's going to be a good series," Arenado said. "They have a great venue and have a young team full of highly-regarded guys, a lot like us. They want to get back up to the top, and so do we. We're a little closer right now, but it's two teams that have something to prove in the next few years."
Colorado manager Walt Weiss said he's still adjusting to the Astros' new affiliation.
"It's just weird to me," he said. "It's hard for me to fathom that the Astros are in the American League. It was late last night before I realized I'd need a DH today. I just don't think of them as an AL club."
The two teams met 159 times as National League members, with Houston owning a slight 80-79 advantage.
The Astros' move to the AL also created continous Interleague Play, which Weiss was less than enthusiastic about.
"I'm kind of lukewarm on Interleague Play, to be honest," Weiss said. "I like the fact that the leagues used to be separate. I know it creates some pretty cool matchups, but I'm still a big fan of the separate leagues.

'Forever Young' spa closes shop; had been subject of state investigation
BEAVERTON, Ore. - A laser spa that was the subject of a state investigation is now shutting down its operations.
The owners of Forever Young Laser Medical Spa posted a notice on their website telling customers about the closure.
"It wasn't one thing that led us here, but instead, a flurry of regulatory changes and inquiries from State Agencies over the past several months, along with negative publicity which damaged our reputation beyond repair, that has drained our business and has led us to the incredibly painful decision today to close our doors at the end of this week," the online notice said.
KATU first reported on Forever Young in March when we learned the state attorney general's office and the Better Business Bureau had received dozens of complaints that the spa didn't properly handle payments and treated customers poorly.
For example, in March customer Adriene Smith told us she pre-paid for a $1,500 package but was told she couldn't be treated because of a skin condition. When Smith went to get her money back, she said the spa would not refund her payment.
Despite several attempts, Smith was only refunded her money after KATU started asking questions.
Many customers we spoke with at the Hillsboro location were surprised to see the spa closed without warning.
Pat Elden showed up for a facial and found the door locked, the sign empty and a sign saying the store was "merging" with the Tanasbourne location. The sign did not say, however, that all the locations are closing on Friday.
"I was here last week for my appointment and nothing was said," Elden told us. "I guess they will need to refund my money, won't they?"
Past stories on Forever Young and laser spas:
- State investigating 'Forever Young' medical spa
- Insider alleges workers not properly trained at laser spa
- State looking to review regulation of laser use in medical spas
- Laser beauty treatment: Can you trust the person holding the laser?
The state justice department says yes, customers are entitled to refunds for services they did not receive.
In their statement, the owners of Forever Young said they have or are in the process of working out arrangements for people who have already pre-paid for services.
People with pre-paid tanning packages will be able to honor their Forever Young packages at Portland-area Tan Republic locations.
"Please come, please be patient with us over the next few days," said Peter Lamka with Tan Republic. "We are going to serve you to the best of our abilities."
As for pre-paid laser customers, the owners said they are "currently exploring multiple options" for other local providers to pick up those clients.
"Please know that we are determined to find a solution for you," the owners wrote.
If you don't receive a refund or aren't happy with alternate arrangements you can file a complaint online with the state department of justice.

SAN JOSE — A man needed a rescue squad after getting stuck in a tree above a creek near downtown San Jose after purportedly running away from gang members, authorities said.
The man used a cell phone to call police about 6:20 a.m. Monday from a tree limb hanging about 30 feet above the Los Gatos Creek near West San Carlos Street and Royal Avenue, just west of Bird Avenue, said Officer Albert Morales. He told responding officers that he had been running away from people when he made it to the limb, which sits about six to seven feet below the creek's overcrossing.
Police soon called the San Jose Fire Department, which sent an engine along with a rescue team in case he fell from the tree, said Capt. Rob Brown.
Over the course of about an hour, firefighters suspended an aerial ladder from the bridge and using a system of ropes and pulleys, harnessed a firefighter and lowered him to the stranded man. Both were then pulled up to safety.

80 per cent of people in the US and Europe are familiar with the SimCity brand, says EA.
And more than 12 million people have played a version of SimCity within the last year.
EA revealed these stats as it gears up to launch its first true SimCity sequel in ten years on March 8th, 2013.
"SimCity has huge public awareness worldwide," Maxis boss Lucy Bradshaw told MCV. "SimCity 4 continues to sell quite well as a classic title. That is quite a healthy shelf life in the video games industry. And even today, modders in online communities like Simtropolis continue to add mods to SimCity 4."
SimCity 4 launched for PC way back in January 2003 and since then EA has developed numerous spin-offs aimed at more casual audiences, including last year's Facebook game SimCity Social.
But now the publisher hopes it can attract those core users again with next year's title, which comes complete with a brand new game engine.
"We wanted the next SimCity game to innovate the franchise," added Bradshaw. "Players have systems that are much more powerful than ten years ago, so we can really play with graphics and 3D."

Steve McQueen was robbed. Best Picture = Best Director – it's that simple.
Just one last thought on the Oscars; Twelve Years A Slave won Best Picture, but not Best Director, though Steve McQueen (pictured above) did take home an Oscar for his work on the film in a production capacity. But this is wrong, and not just because the Best Director winner, Gravity, is a very, very slight piece of work, and also the least of all of Alfonso Cuaron's films, except for the utterly inconsequential Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Since the Oscars marginalize all foreign films except for one in a Best Foreign Film category, which is inherently wrong as well, there is really no such thing as "best" picture, because the field is artificially narrowed. But of all the films that did get Oscar nominations, Twelve Years was clearly the most important and artistically successful film of the group, yet McQueen didn't get the nod as Best Director, as well. I will never understand the non-logic behind this; if a film is the "Best Picture," then who is responsible for this? The producers? The actors? Or could it perhaps be the director, who brought the entire vision to the screen?
I remember a long time ago, when I was living in Los Angeles, Jaws — admittedly, we are moving from the deeply important to the utterly trivial here — was nominated for Best Picture, though it didn't win, yet Steven Spielberg wasn't nominated for Best Director. Jaws is simply an action picture, and certainly didn't deserve to win anything, but in that case, Hollywood insiders were incensed, demanding "Best Picture, but no nod for Spielberg as Best Director? Who do they think directed it – the shark?" And they were right — if it wins Best Picture, it gets Best Director.
So again, while there is no comparison between these two films, the basic principle holds true.
Best Picture? Best Director. End of story.

text: Economy 26 October 2012 The Tories are still lying about "a million" new private sector jobs The party still won't admit that Cameron is including 196,000 posts reclassified from the public sector. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Earlier this week, I explained why David Cameron is misleading voters when he claims that "one million" private sector jobs have been created since the coalition took office (as he did in his conference speech and at this week's PMQs). Cameron's figure deceptively includes 196,000 further education and sixth form college posts reclassified from the public sector in March; the real figure is a less impressive 874,000 (1,070,000 minus 196,000). As the Office for National Statistics stated in its most recent release: These educational bodies employed 196,000 people in March 2012 and the reclassification therefore results in a large fall in public sector employment and a corresponding large increase in private sector employment between March and June 2012. When Conservative MP Claire Perry nevertheless trotted out the stat on last night's Question Time, I called her out on it. In response, the Tory Treasury team tweeted: .@georgeeaton the one million jobs created stat takes into account the reclassification issue — @ToryTreasury (@ToryTreasury) October 25, 2012 Yet the only way that the Tories can achieve a figure of a million, whilst excluding the reclassified posts, is by measuring the rise in private sector employment since quarter one of 2010. In other words, by using pre-election data from April and May 2010 (resulting in a figure of 1,377,000). This would be allowable if Cameron referred to "private sector job creation since March 2010" (noting, perhaps, how Alistair Darling's fiscal stimulus aided job creation), but he doesn't. In his speech to the Conservative conference, he said: Since this government took office, over one million new jobs have been created in the private sector. Despite the Tories' protestations, it's clear that Cameron is misleadingly including the 196,000 posts transferred from the public sector. For one thing, if he isn't, why doesn't he use the figure of 1,377,000? After promising a new era of accuracy and transparency in statistics, the Tories have lamentably failed to deliver. › On the campaign trail: Romney gets his facts wrong David Cameron at the Conservative conference in Birmingham earlier this month.

The original source describing the law of fasting on Yom Kippur brings to mind the story of a great rabbi who broke with tradition by eating on the holiday to save lives during a plague.
The most distinctive observance of Yom Kippur is fasting, prescribed in Acharei Mot, at Leviticus 16:29: "[It] shall be to you a law for all time [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall practice self-denial [fasting]." However, the value of preserving life outweighs fasting on Yom Kippur.
The Talmudic sages interpreted another verse in Acharei Mot (Leviticus 18:5) to permit the relaxation of rituals when life is at risk. The verse reads: "You shall keep My laws and My rules, by the pursuit of which human beings shall live … " The Babylonian Talmud Yoma 85b adds the amendment, "You shall live by them but you shall not die because of them."
David Frischmann (1859-1922) wrote a short story, "Three Who Ate," which takes place "not on an ordinary day … but on the Day of Atonement; not hidden where no one could see them, but openly, in the great synagogue, before the entire congregation … Nor were they strangers, but the most honored citizens of the community: the Rav and his two dayanim. And yet they remained, even after having eaten in public on the Day of Atonement, the most honored citizens of the community."
Why did the chief rabbi and his two associates commit this public violation of the fast? During the summer, an outbreak of cholera caused the death of hundreds. "… [T]he worst of its grim work the plague did in the Jewish ghetto. Like flies people fell, young and old. There was no house but had its dead. … They who buried the dead grew weary.
The corpses lay upon the ground, body against body, yet people no longer cared."
Yom Kippur came during the epidemic. After Kol Nidre, the Rav ascended the bimah. One would have expected him "to deliver a sermon to console the mourners and strengthen their faith." Instead, "he intoned a prayer for the recent dead" and called out their names. "The minutes passed one after another, and there seemed to be no end to this enumeration of the victims."
At noon on Yom Kippur, the Rav and his dayanim stood on the bimah and announced permission for everyone to eat and drink. No one stirred. Then the Rav ordered the people to eat. No one stirred. Then the Rav summoned the shammes and whispered in his ear. In a little while, the shammes returned from the Rav's home with wine and cake. Then the three rabbis ate and drank before the entire congregation.
Frischmann concludes the story by calling the rabbis heroes. "Who can measure the struggle that must have torn their hearts? Who can weigh their pain and suffering?" What did the congregation do? They "ate — ate and wept."
Frischmann no doubt had in mind the bold action of Rabbi Israel Lipkin Salanter (1810-1883). In 1848, a cholera epidemic swept through Vilna. Salanter gave permission for Jews to do relief work on the Sabbath and when Yom Kippur came, he ordered the congregation of the Great Synagogue in Vilna to eat.
When many Jews ignored his ruling, Salanter stood on the pulpit of the synagogue at the end of the morning service, took out wine and cake, said the blessings and then drank and ate before the entire congregation. Torah-observant Jews who saw Salanter drink and eat on Yom Kippur now felt free to break their fast and take sustenance. For the rest of his life, Salanter believed that his action had helped to save many lives.

I use Melodyne often on my own vocals. Sometimes I use it to correct pitch and other times for creative strange things. On my song I Stand with You (link) I sent my vocal to my friend Gabri Negro in Italy and he created a few harmonies of my own voice using Melodyne on specific words. He's a classically trained musician and knew exactly where on the scale to place my "other" self. In the video above you can see Melodyne's Random Deviation function which speeds up creating variations of original material.
"Simply copy the vocal track, insert slight deviations in pitch and timing, and place the tracks in the stereo image. And with the clever functions of Melodyne, you don't have to move every note by hand." – celemony

What makes Gets Grants a different kind of grantwriting course?
For starters, your instructors have raised millions of dollars in grant funds and will share what they have learned over the years with you. More importantly, we will walk you through both federal and foundation grantwriting, pointing out the differences and similarities. In this course, you will learn how to develop successful, grant-fundable proposals.
Over the 6-week course you'll be shown step-by-step the process of grant proposal writing, whether you are tackling a federal grant, one from a national private foundation or a smaller grant from your local foundation.
You'll learn to recognize what makes a project attractive to a funding agency and see how to create a compelling case. In just a few weeks, you'll be prepared to convert an idea into a complete, well-developed package.
In addition, you'll discover how to target the best funding agencies for your project and learn insider secrets for approaching them in the right way. You'll also see how to follow up on a proposal, and you'll find out when it's possible to turn a "no" into a "yes."
Whether you're interested in writing grant proposals as a career or in obtaining funding for your organization, this course will give you the grant-writing skills you need to outshine your competition. Highly recommended for development professionals, educators, nonprofit agency staff members or volunteers, and anyone else involved in fundraising for a large or small organization.
While the skills you'll learn during this course are transferable, we do want to emphasize that the focus of this class is on obtaining grant funding for nonprofit organizations.
Course Revised May 2015
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.

I enjoyed the course and feel that I now have the basic tools to build upon in my pursuit to mastering the art of grant writing. Your instructions were easy to follow without being too simplistic or elementary. This made the pace of reading each chapter perfect for me.
I found the course to be very relevant to my needs. I learned about things that I would never have been able to find out by myself. I feel now I have the tools to write and apply for grants and be sucessful. I think my organization will profit from this knowledge.
I want to think you for all of the information on grant writing. I've learned much more than expected and I'm planning to put it to good use. I didn't realize how much time, information, and research it would take to complete one grant.
Thank you so much. This really enlightened me and taught me a lot. I now see some ways I can help the organization I am working with. Before, I had no idea what grant writing was about or how to go about getting grants.
This has been a wonderful educational experience. I feel prepared to 'venture into the world of grants' on behalf of the historical organization I represent. Thank you for designing this course and for sharing your expertise in this area.
I appreciate how well organized the course material is. I find that the concepts are clearly and concisely explained. I have printed the lessons and will surely refer to this course material often as I write grant proposals for my organization. Many thanks to both instructors. The course was excellent, and I would surely recommend it to others.
The course is exceptionally well done. The instructors were clear and surprisingly thorough, given the time and space restraints. They were very good at eliciting student participation in discussions and promptly provided extremely thoughtful and helpful responses. The resources provided are excellent and well annotated. Frankly, this is one of the best training workshops I have seen. I highly recommend it.

Get Grants! was a very useful class and I learned a lot. The most useful part to me was the feedback I received on the different sections and the rewrites that I submitted. I felt encouraged and my work was assessed by the instructor, which made me better at each task. Thanks!
My expectations were high but the course far exceeded my expectations. I found the information, from the material for each lesson to the FAQs and Supplementary Material, to be invaluable. I would not want to pursue grant writing without the preparation this course provided.

CARELESS parking in Bishop's Waltham is putting children in danger, a parish council meeting has heard.
Resident Neil Cornmell is so concerned that he has pleaded with the council to do something, calling them his "last chance".
At the meeting on January 15, Mr Cornmell, of Pine Road, said: "It's very dangerous. I called the police and they said they would come down and check the situation and call me, but they did neither. You're my last chance. I really think there's going to be an accident. Someone is going to get hurt," he said.
Mr Cornmell said that four and five-year old children are being led around parked cars and into the road in the mornings. Of particular concern is a stretch of road from the Police Station on Hoe Road leading toward Bishop's Waltham Infant School.
Parish chairman Judy Marsh said she was aware of the issue. "I know what you're saying and we will do whatever we can," she said.
Cllr Pat Wilson said: "It's a shame because we normally a have a representative from the police here and I know they would have liked to have heard about this."

Autopilot, the alternative rock band out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan released their sophomore album Diamond Rough early this September.
The 90s style band says with this album that they were unafraid to experiment with sound, and this album proves that.
For the first six tracks of the ten track album, the songs are fairly upbeat and are packed with emotion. The lead singer sounds like a cross of Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) and Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) and overall, his voice matches with each track fairly well.
"A Song from a Hospital Hallway Part I" changes all that. A viewer can be immersed into the mind of a troubled soul. For the next three tracks, the vocals come out stronger than in any other songs on the album. For the majority of the songs, the lyrics were well written. However, one of my criticisms is that the words were hard to hear at times because the instrumentals drowned them out.
The closing track, "Every Single Time" was a great track to close this album. Lyrically, I think it's the best song on here and very well produced. It features memorable lyrics and catchy riffs. I just wish that all ten tracks had a similar vibe.
Overall, Diamond Rough is an album worth listening to. It provides the listener with an emotional journey.
Check out Diamond Rough for free on their Bandcamp, or Autopilot for more information.

Topic: Decisions, decisions
We need y'all's advice. Today hubby had CT scan and it is unchanged. Everything including the mets are stable. Doctor said that he would like to see some shrinkage, but no growth with cholangio isn't bad either. Told us tumor is still too large to consider chemoablation. Suggested that he switch to combo of Xeloda and Oxiliplatin from the Gemzar/Xeloda he's been on for 4 cycles. He's tolerating those drugs really well and doctor said it's up to him if he'd like to try this new treatment. Discussed the side effects and they don't sound too bad. I asked him why not go to Gemzar/oxiliplatin and he said didn't recommend it as it is pretty toxic. So what to do? Told him we would call next week with our decision, thought we would check with the experts first!

Penticton in the Dragons' Den
Built a better mousetrap? Or maybe you have built a device that will revolutionize the solar power industry?
If so, you will have a chance to pitch your business idea next week when the producers of CBC's Dragons' Den come to town to audition prospective guests for next season.
On Feb. 9, Dragons' Den producers will be coming to Okanagan College's Penticton campus for a day of auditions.
One group that is going to be especially interested is the students enrolled in the college's business program, especially the young entrepreneurs participating in the Enactus (formerly Students in Free Enterprise) volunteer group.
"We are volunteering at the Dragons' Den, as we have done in past years. Traditionally, it has been held in Kelowna, but this year we get the opportunity to do it here in Penticton," said Ryan Lancaster, Enactus vice-president. "I am very excited to get a chance to see how the program is put together from behind the scenes. It's unfortunate that the Dragons themselves won't be here, but we are hoping to still discuss with the producers some of the intricacies of the program and maybe what they look for from their contestants."
The auditions, which take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., are public. Budding entrepreneurs should be prepared to pitch their business in under five minutes. If they can convince Dragons' Den producers they are ready for their 15 minutes of fame, they could be invited to brave the Dragons face-to face when the upcoming season is filmed in Toronto.
Sheilagh Seaton is an Okanagan School of Business professor and mentor to Enactus students in Penticton. She feels the auditions should be a valuable educational experience for business students.
"I think it is always exciting for young people to see people moving forward with their ideas," she said. "And to see how a simple idea can have an opportunity to turn into a successful business, how they can bring that forward, what do they need to do to get their product into marketplace."
Lancaster hopes to use the auditions as a networking opportunity, to help further Enactus' Young Entrepreneur program, which brings a Dragons' Den-style of competition to middle and high school students.
"It is our goal to help those student entrepreneurs start up real business in the community," said Lancaster, who hopes to learn about the opportunities for students to get on one of the show's all-student specials.
"We could use this year as a networking opportunity as well as a research gathering opportunity to get the information we need to see what constitutes a quality idea or what you need to as a student applying to be on the show, what do you need as an application," said Lancaster.
"I think for the business program, it's an opportunity for our students to really understand what it takes to launch a business and the pressures involved in asking for financing," said Seaton. "Our students can learn quite a bit from watching that program in terms of what kind of information they would need to provide to potential investors, in order to receive the funding they would need to launch their own venture."
Not only have people from the South Okanagan presented on the show before, Seaton said, but Jim Treliving, one of the Dragons, has close ties to Penticton, which was the site of his first Boston Pizza franchise.
"I think it is close to home here, I think it is really exciting coming to Penticton," said Seaton. "I think our community has a lot of investment in it."
More information about applying to be on Dragons' Den is available online at http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/auditions.

Racine Theatre Guild Auditions for The Miracle Worker
Auditions are being held on January 13 and 14 at the Racine Theatre Guild for "The Miracle Worker," a drama by William Gibson, based on Helen Keller's early life. The play has performances on two weekends and four weekdays, April 4-15. The Racine Theatre Guild is a nonprofit community theatre located at 2519 Northwestern Avenue (Highway 38) in Racine.
Central to this true and inspirational story is the volatile relationship between lonely teacher Annie Sullivan and her blind, deaf and mute student, Helen Keller. Doomed to a world of silence and isolated by her inability to communicate, young Helen is wild, destructive, and spoiled by her family. Only Annie sees her potential and is determined to reach her, no matter what.
"The Miracle Worker" began on TV as a 1957 "Playhouse 90" and was adapted by William Gibson for a Broadway production in 1959, featuring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. That production won four Tony Awards, including Best Play. The two stars reprised their roles for the 1962 feature film. In 1979, it was remade for television, with Patty Duke switching from the role of Keller to that of Sullivan. The play was revived on Broadway as recently as 2010.
"The Miracle Worker" has a large cast, with roles for males and females of various ages, 10 and older. Three of the roles require African-American actors: a woman (early 20s to mid-40s), a boy and a girl, both 10-14. All roles are open. Shawn Britten is the director.
Anyone interested in auditioning should come to the lobby of the Racine Theatre Guild at 7 p.m. on either Monday, January 13, or Tuesday, January 14. Appointments are not being taken. Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. Scripts are available in advance and may be checked out of the box office with payment of a refundable deposit. In addition to actors, production crew volunteers are needed.
For further information, call the box office at 262-633-4218, go to the website (www.racinetheatre.org), or visit the RTG any weekday between noon and 6 p.m.

Farsley's promotion hopes were left as shattered as a cracked chocolate egg following a frustrating Easter Monday afternoon at Throstle Nest.
Neil Parsley's men were running out of chances following a nightmare run of fixtures against their Evo-Stik Division One North promotion rivals and needed a victory against neighbours Harrogate Railway Athletic.
The derby factor proved crucial as the visitors, who were lowly mid-table with nothing to play for, stifled Farsley.
The home side created chances but not many more than Railway. Farsley simply were not good enough on the day to take their promotion fight down the last day of the campaign.
Brighouse Town's final home game also fell flat as they lost 1-0 but at least Town had a trophy to parade after being presented with the Toolstation Northern Counties East League Premier Division accolade after the game.
Brighouse won the title on Saturday, and should be confirmed as being Farsley's rivals next term over the coming weeks.
That left meaningless back-to-back games against Bridlington Town, the first being at the Dual Seal Stadium today.
Brid were rivals of Paul Quinn's men last season but finished third. Brighouse were runners-up but have gone one better this term while Brid have struggled.
They exacted some kind of revenge by raining on Brighouse's parade but Jarred Smalley's winner was three minutes into stoppage time.
Silsden did savour the taste of victory in the North West Counties League Premier Division and it was as sweet as the finest chocolate egg as it came against arch-rivals Barnoldswick Town.
The Cobbydalers ran out 3-1 victors at home but they played the last 30 minutes with ten men.
Danny Gleave had picked up a yellow card for over-protesting about the last-minute first-half penalty that brought the visitors level, and got a second booking for a silly foul.
Ben Crabtree claimed the assist as Silsden took a 15th-minute lead. It was his header that Nicky McNally latched onto to net a neat chip. Matthew Moses committed the foul for the penalty that Sam Howell drilled in right on the stroke of half-time.
Into the second half, a Zack Dale shot hit McNally on the back to put the Cobbydalers in front again before Gleave was red-carded but Dale netted the Cobbydalers' third five minutes later.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Winn-Dixie on Wednesday launched a prescription-savings card that offers deep discounts on more than 400 generic medications and varied discounts on name-brand and other generic medications, the grocer announced.
"Not everyone has insurance or health benefits that adequately cover prescriptions," stated John Fegan, VP pharmacy for Winn-Dixie. "This program makes it easier for our customers to get the prescriptions they need at a great deal so they can focus on their health ... not on how much it costs."
For a an annual enrollment fee of $5, customers with an active Winn-Dixie Reward Card will receive a $5 store coupon loaded to the customer's Reward Card and $4 30-day and $10 90-day generic drug pricing on an extensive list of more than 400 generic drugs.
The program runs through the grocer's existing free Reward Card program.

I could really see a deal involving the Thunder and Hawks:
OKC sends:
Draft pick
ATL sends:
This is a huge salary dump by OKC so they can sign Harden long term. Atlanta gets a big bruising center to let Smith move to SF and Horford to PF. The Hawks have Teague, Lou Will and Korver among others to play in the back court. Maynor could be their immediate backup PG. Hell Maynor doesn't even need to be in the deal really, but I figure the extra PG is a good move for ATL. Reggie Jackson can step into that role after this year when Harris expires.
As it pertains to us. I think we might be able to get in on the deal by throwing Hansborough in the mix to Atlanta. I think he would make sense for them as another backup big who could play with both Horford and Perkins effectively. I think the only thing we would want is the cap space and possibly the pick from OKC. The Hawks have a ton of expiring contracts and Hansborough can add to that if they don't feel like re-signing him or come cheap if they like him. A lot of UNC fans in the south.

Greetings all,
As you know, the PD Forum Awards include "Post of the Year" and "Thread of the Year".
Usually, the threads and posts submitted for nomination are few. And those that are remembered, are almost always off topic.
This thread is meant to improve both significantly, if it gets your help!
Here's the deal:
I think one of the problems with the these categories is by the time the awards get around, we tend to forget a lot of great stuff from over the past 11 or so months. This thread is meant to address that.
Next year, those two categories will become four categories. A Pacers-related, and an off topic edition of both Thread of the Year and Post of the Year.
What I'm asking of all of you is this:
Any time from now until I begin the awards for 2009, any time that you read a post or read a thread, off topic and also Pacers related, that you think is worthy of nomination for 2009, reference it here.
This is our memory thread, so that we don't forget. If this is a success, I will bring it back next year, too.
Please, leave us a link to the thread/post, the title of the thread, the poster who created the thread/post, and most importantly, a sentence or few telling us WHY it should be nominated in 2009.

During my enriching time at St. Lawrence, I have had the chance to travel abroad on the Francophone Studies program in the Spring 2009 semester. Living in the three cultures of Quebec, France, and Senegal broadened my view of the world and reinforced my appreciation for diversity. In my early years at St. Lawrence, I participated in the Investment Club on campus and learned from older Economics students the importance of internships to gain experience. In January of my junior year,I interned with an insurance agency in Clayton, NY and in the summer of that same year I interned with the underwriting department of Peerless Insurance, a division of Liberty Mutual, in Syracuse, NY. Also while a junior, I worked as a Community Assistant, which further developed my leadership skills in preparation for a management role after completing the 4+1 M.B.A. program.
As a 4+1 student my classes focus on relevant topics in management, which will aid me in my work study job as a manager at Calling All Saints, and as a Residence Life Townhouse Manager during my senior year. Participation in the 4+1 program requires planning and time management in order to take the necessary classes. However, I have always found room in my schedule to take advantage of the many other opportunities offered at St. Lawrence.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Columbia Gas Transmission is suing a Petersburg company whose timber-cutting operation it claims is threatening the safety and stability of three underground pipelines.
Ohio-based Columbia sued Robert Borror Logging and four Pendleton County landowners earlier this week in U.S. District Court in Elkins.
Columbia wants Chief Judge John Preston Bailey to issue a permanent injunction that would stop Borror from operating in a way it considers improper and unsafe under a right of way agreement.
Borror has no telephone listing and has yet to file a response.
Columbia says Borror is driving trucks and hauling logs on roads it had earlier agreed to protect.
Underneath those roads are 26-inch and 36-inch pipelines that carry natural gas. Columbia argues that stress on the ground could increase pressure in the pipelines or create cracks in the pipes or the coatings.
Any leaks could cause a rupture of the pipeline, and that could lead to serious injuries or deaths, as well as significant property damage. Such an accident would also disrupt service to customers.
Columbia says it raised its concerns last fall when it learned of Borror Logging's plans, and it worked with the company on conditions that would allow logging to be done safely. Those conditions included the construction of "air tracks," which would elevate vehicles and minimize ground pressure.
Borror also agreed not to drag logs over the rights of way, Columbia said.
The gas company said it learned in January that Borror was violating the agreement and tried to work things out until April, when Borror "dropped all pretenses and directly asserted its belief that Columbia does not have the ability to regulate" the roads.
Then in May, Columbia said the landowners informed the gas company it would no longer have access.

Plenty of action on deck for Mariners pitchers
PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Mariners will get plenty of action for their pitching staff on Thursday and Friday, with two games scheduled both days before the schedule goes back to normal for the final two weeks of Cactus League play.
The Mariners added a "B" game to Thursday's slate so they could get more innings to look at some of their younger arms. James Paxton and Taijuan Walker will each throw three frames against the Indians in the 10 a.m. PT exhibition game at Goodyear.
Joe Saunders makes his second Cactus League start in the 1:05 p.m. game against the Reds in Peoria Stadium, with the veteran lefty scheduled to throw four innings. Brandon Maurer, the 22-year-old right-hander making a strong showing this spring, is scheduled to follow and throw four frames of his own.
Then on Friday, the Mariners have both their normal Cactus League action against the Angels in Tempe at 1:05 p.m, as well as a World Baseball Classic exhibition against The Netherlands at 7:05 p.m. in Peoria.
Jeremy Bonderman is scheduled to throw the first four innings against the Angels, followed by three innings from Andrew Carraway.
Jon Garland is targeted to start against The Netherlands and throw four innings, with relievers Lucas Luetge, Stephen Pryor and Tom Wilhelmsen to follow.
Both Bonderman and Garland are veteran right-handers trying to make the club as non-roster invitees on Minor League deals as they return from injury issues. Garland has allowed one earned run and five hits in six innings over his first three outings, while Bonderman has given up six runs and eight hits in his own six innings of work.

Spring Training productive endeavor for Rays
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Rays manager Joe Maddon could not think of much that his 2014 squad has not accomplished during Spring Training.
"There's still some things, outfield-wise, that I want to tie up," Maddon said. "Otherwise, the number of at-bats have been good per player. Pitchers got their innings in. Relievers have gone two innings in a row."
He also noted that, instructionally, "We got the message out there pretty well this year."
Maddon is satisfied with what he has done as well.
"I've been so locked in with the process this camp, I've been really pleased with that," Maddon said. "I've been able to keep my focus and I'm really going to challenge myself to do that during the season also.
"There's a tendency for all of us, sometimes, you want to become a fan during the game. You get hung up on the outcome, and you can't, you just have to keep working the game from your perspective."
Maddon allowed that he wants to remain locked in, thus he is challenging himself "to become even more process-oriented than I have been in the past" for the entire season.
When asked, Maddon could not come up with any real surprises from this year's camp.
"Maybe some of the young guys," Maddon said. "I've heard about them and how good they actually showed up. [C.J.] Riefenhauser, saw [Adam] Liberatore again yesterday, [Brad] Boxberger in the deal, [Logan] Forsythe for the first time. Not really surprises, just kind of pleasantly pleased to see.
"I mean, these guys are good. So you hear about the acquisitions in meetings. But to actually see them perform, they're good."

TOM Bowdidge's girls took it literally when he told people to "crack on" without him.
Inspirational Tom died in October after fighting an aggressive stomach cancer for more than a year.
Before he died, he raised £170,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
And now sister Emma and eleven of his school friends, have bared all to raise money for the Tom Bowdidge Foundation - set up by parents Richard and Nikki in memory of the 19-year-old Colchester Grammar School pupil.
The girls posed in a series of scantily clad pictures, which are being launched in a charity calendar on Friday at the foundation's gala dinner.
Sister Emma, 22, of Fermins Court, in West Bergholt, said: "It really took us out of our comfort zone - none of us ever imagined doing anything like it at all.
"Some people do marathons for charity, we've got naked, which I suppose is a little bit more eye-catching."

I have quite a lot of Thai people in my friend list, I try to converse with them as much as possible but it can be somewhat difficult as I can only speak English, French or Chinese.
This woman messaged me "Not that it was Jesus or the Lord kill me." or "Do not know the Lord or kill it." or something like that.
So I replied back to her "Buddha is not a god but our teacher. Killing is selfish and wrong, no one deserves to die; - We all have a place in the world. But we do not own the world and the world does not own us." .
I'm pretty much proud of what I said, I'm sure Siddhartha would be too.
I hope I don't come off as over confident or a little arrogant.

Samsung Galaxy S III To Hit all Four Major U.S. Carriers Starting at $199 on June 21

US Cellular also gets in on the Galaxy S III action
If you're one of the many smartphone fans that have been waiting in anticipation for the
Samsung Galaxy S III
smartphones to land in the United States, it will be coming this month with some specifications that are a bit changed from the first time we talked about the smartphone.
Samsung has announced that the smartphone will be coming on all four major service providers in the United States. That means no matter if you're on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon, you will be able to get the smartphone starting this month. Even US Cellular customers are shown some love by Samsung. The phone will launch at $199 for the 16GB model and $249 for the 32GB model on all carriers June 21
"The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the 'next big thing' for U.S. customers and across all major carriers," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "Galaxy S III introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level."
The S III boasts a 4.8-inch display with a thin bezel for maximum viewable area. The phone weighs 4.7 ounces and is 8.6 mm thick. The device supports 4G LTE connectivity for fast data and file transfers -- that is assuming the buyer is in an LTE covered area.
The S III introduces the next version of Samsung's content sharing service called AllShare Play. This technology allows the smartphone to automatically recognize other Samsung devices on the user's home network and remotely access files on those other devices. A Wi-Fi network is required for that feature to operate. The smartphone also supports easy sharing for images and uses S-Beam technology to directly share large files such as video and photographs between compatible devices.
The mobile phone runs the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and has Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. The phone runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual core processor (Samsung announced a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos SOC for world markets) with 2 GB of RAM. The Galaxy S III will be offered in marble white or pebble blue colors.
"The Galaxy S III is the most innovative smartphone on the market today. It is an industry first to see five major carriers align behind the launch of a single device virtually simultaneously," said Todd Pendleton, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Telecommunications America. "To support the immense excitement for the Galaxy S III we will execute our biggest marketing campaign ever. Consumers won't be able to miss why this device is the must-have smartphone."
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

Is William just too popular?
I adore the name Will. William is a family name for both sides of the family and one we actually agree on. The catch is that it's the #3 most popular name for boys! We struggled with a girl's name and finally decided on Sofia for our daughter. We love it but that is also a popular one, and so I'm debating about having two very popular names for our kids. Is it a big deal? Do you hear a lot of Wills out there? (I don't.... but Liams appear to be everywhere).
Would love to hear your thoughts on whether we should go with it or pick another. Thanks!

I also adore Will and have this name on both sides (my maternal grandfather, my mom's brother, my father, my brother). We call my brother Billy (totally suits even though he's in his late 20s) and I have always loved Will. I couldn't use it, in case my brother wants to keep passing it along.
Honestly, I don't think it will ever get too popular to use. I'm in Canada and I don't hear it frequently, and when I do, I swoon. I say go for it. I love it!!!!

One of the things about popularity is that the chart toppers of today's Top 100 lists aren't being used by as high a portion of the population as the highest ranked names a few decades ago. (All the parents for whom popularity is a problem name their kids something else, reducing the number of overall kids named #1-10 names.)
William is a classic; it'll never be trendy or dated, so it's not like you're obliviously hopping on the "-ayden" bandwagon. Both William and Sofia made it to the top because they're awesome, lovely names!
If you LOVE and agree on a name, esp. one with significance, and it happens to be at the top, it's really up to you whether you are bothered too much by the possibility of your son being Will M. now and then. Some Berries hate that; others aren't perturbed. Most f us tend to fall into the do-what-you-love camp, though, so I say if you feel like it's The One, stick with it

I know a few people (20's - 30's) named Will/William/Willie and one baby born last year named William. If you're in the states, have you looked at the statistics for your state through the social security webpage? Sometimes the name is more popular in one state than another. For instance, Molly is on the top 100 overall in the US but here in Texas it's not even on the top 100 list in the last 5 years.Allie & Daniel -- Married since 08/2012 and expecting #1 06/2016

Bubble Birds is your typical bubble shooter game but customized with birds. You already know how it works: shoot a bird at the other birds to make groups of three or more of the same color and try to get rid of all of them quickly. The quicker you play, the higher the score.
The problem with this game is that it has annoying push notifications installed without your permission, and of course, it's probable that you already have a bubble game installed in your device.
XIMAD is the developer of Bubble Birds, a fun casual game that can keep you entertained for a while. With fewer ads, it would be much more enjoyable. Anyway, we appreciate the effort and the graphics with the birds were really appealing.

Eleven court-appointed special advocates (CASA volunteers) for troubled children were recently sworn in and are ready to go to work.
The advocates are the front persons for children who are victims of neglect or abuse and involved in social service and court cases. In many instances, the CASA advocates become the most constant adult presence in the childs life.
The new advocates join seven others who were sworn in in June. Together they are starting to address the need in Lincoln County, where 140 children are typically in the court system, according to organizers. There is one advocate per child, or sometimes, one advocate per family of children.
Each advocate has completed nearly 40 hours of training and will maintain a training schedule annually.
The program relies on donations and/or grant money to meet the costs of a part-time executive director.
Kristen Parker of First National Bank has organized a Christmas cookie fundraiser for CASA. For $20, a contributor gets a plate of a dozen assorted homemade cookies and candies delivered. Orders must be received by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19 and will be delivered on Dec. 20-21. Call 535-6372 or email Parker at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The new advocates are Janet Winder, Tim Anderson, Ramona Lancaster, Lori Dosen, Joni Lloyd, Vicki Holmes, Becky Manning, Wendi Cohn, Paul Wolfe, Babatunde Olajobi and Louise Hoffmann. They were sworn in by Lincoln County Judge Michael Piccolo, and they join advocates Jeanie Gilbert, Michelle Grier, Rebecca Steele, Barb McIntosh, Pat Cooper, Dawn Lydic and Tony Marinez, who were sworn in in July.
Another training class will be held in the spring, one of two classes each year. To volunteer, call Executive Director Stephanie Miller at 520-0577.
After the new advocates were sworn in, they and some of the CASA board members met for a lunch provided by Subway.

THEY are used to being on the beat, so these bobbies could not help but join in the japes at a family fun day.
The cheerful coppers took some time out to get into the groove at Totton Family Fun Day when they joined in the Zumba class with group Fruityliciouz.
Sgt Ian Smith and PC Tristan Pugh had crowds screaming and whooping when they shook their booties, swung their hips and shimmied their shoulders in the name of a laugh.
One of the organisers, John Cunningham, said: "It really shows the police in a good light in the community the way they were willing to join in. I have to say out of all the free activities it certainly drew a big crowd and not surprisingly the cameras were all out. It was just great."
Thousands of people flocked to the free event on Testwood Recreation Ground, hosted by Churches Together in Totton, which comprises Testwood Baptist Church and St Winifred's Church, as a gift to the community.
Highlights included free refreshments, live bands and family activities including Southampton Spartans KorfBall team, cycle skills agility sessions, the Hazelwood Dancers, Romsey Rock Choir and the Fun Day House Band.

Learn how to avoid getting diabetes at an event this week
The Healthy Lifestyle Roadshow will be offering valuable information on how to avoid type two diabetes through diet and physical exercise in Sutton High Street on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sutton has an estimated 2,475 people with type two diabetes but do not know it. The roadshow will allow people to get a confidential assessment to check their risk of developing the disease.
Diabetes can lead to complications such as heart disease, strokes, kidney disease, blindness and can even lead to amputations unless managed properly.
Diabetes UK, sponsor of the roadshow, believes up to 80 per cent of type two diabetes cases could be delayed or prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
