First Look at Carrie Underwood's 'See You Again' Video Featuring Tri-Cities Resident!
One of my Facebook Friends' niece is featured in this video. Her name is Jenna.
Here's her message to me:
"Hey Faith!! I BALLED my eyes out watching it!! such a touching video all around! My sister was contacted by the director of the video about a month ago to see if they could use the video… not sure how they seen it first… but my sister Kim submitted it to the 'Welcome home blog' a while back and then it was picked up to be shown nationally… but if you Google 'army blackhawk pilot daughter homecoming' you can see the places it has been… and now on Carries video!"
It's a very heartfelt video reminding us all of what's really important in life. Fast forward to 3:01 to see the little Jenna run to her daddy in the airport.
I think you'll like it. Check it out!

Winter Training 2018
Resident Advisers who are hired for the 2018 Spring Semester are required to return to campus for Winter Training by Thursday, January 11, 2017 by 9:00AM. Please consider these dates as firm and make travel arrangements accordingly.
Things to Consider When Applying:
Prior to beginning the application process, we encourage you to take a couple of minutes to look over the questions below and complete a quick self-assessment. As you enter the process to become an RA, it is important to know where you stand on certain issues.
- Are you able to handle problems without over-reacting or making inappropriate compromises?
- Do you need to be the center of attention? Do you need to be constantly showered with compliments, praise, and reward? Can you let someone else take center stage?
- How do you handle stress, tension and anxiety?
- How well can you adjust to the lifestyle of an RA?
- Are you able to balance the role of the RA with the other components of your life?
- Are you oversensitive to and critical of the shortcomings of others?
- Are you able to learn from your experiences?
- Are you able to fulfill your responsibilities and still be honest with yourself, your values, your philosophies and your commitments?
- Are you able to evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses?
- Can you relate to and advise other students without becoming personally and emotionally involved? Even when these students are close friends?
- Are you mature enough to accept that you cannot be all things to all people?
- Are you able to accept behaviors of individuals and not pass judgment?
- Are you able to accept direction and advice from a supervisor?
- Are you able to professionally disagree with a colleague?
- Do you have the self-confidence to be assertive without becoming aggressive?
Time Commitment:
The RA position requires a significant time commitment. For this reason, RAs:
- May not hold an executive position on Student Council unless special permission is granted
- May not serve on the Orientation staff.
- Must discuss outside employment or internships with their supervisor prior to accepting the position.
- May not leave campus overnight more than two weekends per month.
- Must be available for duty over Thanksgiving Break/Spring Break.
- Must attend weekly staff meetings as scheduled by your supervisor. In addition, RAs are expected to attend periodic "Area Wide" and "RA In-Service" meetings from 2-4pm on certain Wednesdays throughout each semester. Only unavoidable class conflicts are considered a valid reason to miss one of these meetings, and must be arranged with your supervisor in advance.
Important Tools That You Will Develop as an RA:
Team Building
Interviewing Skills
Customer Service Skills
To be considered an eligible candidate for an RA position, the applicant must meet the following criteria:
- Full-time, registered student in the University's Undergraduate Academic Program.
- In good academic standing (not on academic probation) with minimum semester and cumulative GPAs of 2.5 or greater.
- Will have completed a minimum of two full semesters of undergraduate coursework (at least one being at Clark) by the start of the fall semester.
- In good disciplinary standing (not currently on disciplinary probation).
Job Compensation:
Resident Advisers receive a room waiver for the room cost of their room and board package. The room cost covers all utilities such as cable, internet, heat and water, and local telephone service. RAs also receive the 5 meal plan as part of their compensation, and those in traditional or suite style housing are not required to be on the full plan. If an RA wishes to up the meal plan they may do so, but they are responsible for covering the cost. Please note that this compensation is considered a financial resource and financial aid candidates selected as RA's may have an adjustment made in the self-help category of their aid packet. It is strongly recommended that you make an appointment with your financial aid counselor to discuss how this position would affect your financial aid package. Financial status is not considered as a factor in the selection of Resident Advisers.
Residential Housing Initiatives to Consider When Applying to be an RA:
- All Female Housing:An option for female Resident Advisers is the all-female residence hall, Dodd Hall. This community provides female students with the comfort of living among only female residents in a supportive community.
- First Year Programs Philosophy:The goal of First Year Programs (FYP) at Clark University is to provide first year students with a supportive and caring environment to assist them in their transition to life at Clark. The Resident Advisers (RAs) play an integral part of the FYP experience. Applicants applying to work as FYP RAs agree to abide by the same requirements as their assigned residential areas (e.g. Alcohol and other drugs).
- Upper Class Experience: The goal of the Upper Class Experience is to help upper class students continue to develop as people. The Resident Adviser helps to do this by programming to enhance the student's personal skills and knowledge of themselves and their identity, engage them on a deeper level in the Clark and global community and explore opportunities for career development. RLH understands that student's in the upper class area are already acclimated to the campus but strives to create an atmosphere of learning and community. Upper class housing is comprised of apartments (Blackstone and the RLH Houses), suites (Maywood) and some halls mixed with suites and traditional doubles and singles (Dana and Hughes Halls).
- Wellness Housing:An additional option for Resident Advisers in the upcoming semester is the Wellness Housing option. Applicants looking to promote this substance free housing environment will agree to live substance free when in the residence hall. The successful candidate for these positions will demonstrate an interest in the promotion of healthy behaviors and a lifestyle centered on wellness.

OAKLEY — A seniors group will get a couple more months to prepare for moving into the city's former fire station, while the current occupants will have more time to find a new home.
The City Council this week agreed to extend the lease for Homeless Animals' Lifeline Organization for a second time from April 1 to June 15, after which Oakley Senior Citizens will take over the Second Street building.
HALO has been renting the facility to house some of the cats and dogs it has for adoption since September 2011, but one year later the city terminated the lease agreement because the shelter's barking dogs were disturbing neighbors.
The termination was to take effect in January, but the city later extended that cut-off date to April 1.
Oakley Senior Citizens, also a nonprofit, has been sharing the use of a small, county-owned building on Rosemary Lane, but has more members than space for its activities.

Property tax credits, rent reimbursement available
Each year, Iowans who are elderly or have a disability may be able to benefit from a property tax credit on their home or rent reimbursement on apartment or mobile home lot rent.
To be eligible, a person must have household income during 2012 of less than $21,335 and be at least 65 years old or at least 18 years old and have a disability.
Iowans older than 23 with income less than $21,335 also might benefit from reduced taxes on a mobile, manufactured or modular home in a manufactured home community or mobile home park.
The Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance sets the formula for the credit or reimbursement. Property tax credit, rent reimbursement or tax reduction programs are based on a person's 2012 household income. Household income includes: Social Security, wages, pension and interest income.
If a person gets a rent subsidy, the amount also counts as income. If a person earns income from a business, only the net profit from the business is included.
The credit or reimbursement can be used only for the person's homestead. A homestead is the dwelling the person owned or rented as his or her home during 2012.
• If a person owns a mobile home and lives in it on a rented lot, he may apply for both rent reimbursement for the lot rent and a reduced tax rate on the mobile home.
• If a person lives in a mobile home on his own property, he may apply for a property tax credit.
• If a person lives in an apartment, the building must be subject to property tax. Apartments owned by nonprofits, like a church, or government entities, like a city, county or state, do not generally pay property taxes.
If a person is not sure whether his apartment pays property taxes, ask the landlord or county treasurer.
In some cases, residents of a nursing home also can be eligible for rent reimbursement or a property tax credit.
• If a person is in a nursing home, but still owns and maintains a homestead, he can apply for the property tax credit.
• If a person lives in a nursing home and no longer owns a home, he may be eligible for rent reimbursement.
• To apply for rent reimbursement, a person needs to find out from the nursing home how much of his total payment is for rent.
Apply between now and June 1 to get a rent reimbursement for 2012 or property tax credit or reduced tax rate for 2013. People must apply yearly.
To get the form, call the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance at 800-367-3388, contact the county treasurer or go to www.iowa.gov/tax/taxlaw/PropertyTaxCredits.html.
The Legal Hotline for Older Iowans at 800-992-8161 also has the forms and can answer questions.

Monday signaled the start of practice for our MHSAA football teams which means we are that much closer to kicking off the 2014 High School Football season.
Now, many of you have your favorite school that you follow but for some in the viewing area, you are a die hard high school football fan (much like me) and have many favorite teams.
If you are looking for a week by week schedule of games to watch, look no further. I've done the heavy lifting and spotted games for each week that you can keep an eye on or attend for yourself! Let's get started…
Thursday, August 21st: Heritage Academy at Caledonia
The official start to the regular season is August 22nd, but we need to get our football fix in prior to that Friday kicking off. What better way to do it then with a decent rivalry that's beginning to spring up in the area. Caledonia and Heritage have a tremendous following on social media and the two have gone back and forth in the past. Expect this game to be a fun, up and down game with both teams taking shots at each other…whether that be on the field or on Twitter.
Week 1: Friday, August 22nd: Tupelo at Lafayette
There are many TREMENDOUS options to kick off Week 1 of the high school football season but I would recommend heading up to Oxford. Tupelo-Lafayette is a match-up between two teams that made it to the State Championship last season but fell just short in bringing home the gold ball. With both teams returning talented and strong squads, it will be one of the better played games to start off a season since both teams have outstanding coaching staffs.
(Other games to watch: Noxubee County at Starkville, Oxford at Jackson Prep, Bruce at North Pontotoc)
Thursday, August 28th: Booneville at Baldwyn / South Panola at West Point
We're going to cheat here and give you two options because both are way too good to single out. If you're in far north Mississippi, the Skunk Bowl will be the game for you. If you're around the Golden Triangle, then don't miss out on USP-WP.
*There's no love loss between the Blue Devils and Bearcats. Baldwyn hasn't defeated Booneville since 2008 and ever since the 2012 game where a skunk ran on the field at Latimer Park, the game has had its name. Booneville has the mental edge on Baldwyn with their recent winning streak, but the Bearcats have talked throughout the off-season how they want to get back at their rivals up the road.
*USP-WP is powerhouse football at its finest. Two of the most talented and tradition rich programs face off at Hamblin Stadium on that Thursday night as the Green Wave have their best shot to beat the Tigers this upcoming season.
Week 2: Friday, August 29th: Starkville at Oxford
What's now being called 'The Little Egg Bowl' could be one of the best non division games throughout the state in Week 2 of the season. Oxford and Starkville are both expected to make a run at a State Championship in their respective classes and the two teams will feature college level quarterbacks in Oxford's Jack Abraham and Starkville's Brady Davis. Talent is littered all over the field in this one and the two teams are beginning to develop a little rivalry against each other.
Week 3: Friday, September 5th: Noxubee County at Louisville
It's a shame these two teams aren't in the same division anymore but it's still the Toothpick Bowl and it still means something to both towns. Ask any player from either team, and they want to win this game. It has no bearing on the divisional race or the playoff push, but the bragging rights and the pride that is won by taking the victory in this game lasts forever. If there's one game to go to for energy and excitement in 2014, this one should be at the top of your list.
(Other Games to Watch: West Point at Starkville, Amory at Aberdeen)
Week 4: Friday, September 12th: Bruce at Water Valley
If you have never been to a game at Death Valley, then this game has to be on your schedule for 2014. Not only will it be a tremendous atmosphere, but it should be entertaining with talent all across the field. Water Valley returns a strong team that finished 2014 with an 11-2 record while Bruce has Dandy Dozen star Jay Johnson on the field along with a talented and deep team.
(Other Games to Watch: West Point at Columbus, North Pontotoc at South Pontotoc)
Thursday, September 18th: Baldwyn at Saltillo
I'm a sucker for Thursday night games so if there is one going on, you can best believe that I'll be there for it. While this one appears to be a mismatch since it's a 2A team vs. a 5A team you'd be surprised at how competitive and interesting this one could be. Baldwyn has a team that will compete for the 2A North Title while Saltillo returns their big bad tailback Diamante Pounds on offense.
Week 5: Friday, September 19th: Pontotoc at North Pontotoc
Another great rivalry game that I've personally seen twice at The Hollow. No love loss between these two teams and with North Pontotoc on the rise as a football program, Pontotoc has something to prove this season. Let's just make sure that this year's game is played under clear skies and no rain!
Week 6: Friday, September 26th: Oxford at West Point
This was a tough one to decide between with two other great games on the slate but in the past this has been the game that decides the division title. This year should be no different as Oxford finally got over the hump and took out West Point last year en-route to their run to Jackson. The Green Wave will surely not forget losing to the Chargers last season and I'd expect WP to come out in a fury for this one this season.
(Other Games to Watch: Aberdeen at Corinth, Charleston at Noxubee County)
Week 7: Friday, October 3rd: The Skuna River Rivalry – Bruce at Calhoun City
Mississippi has its fair share of great rivalries on the football field, but this one is certainly one of the best. Take a 10 minute trip down Highway 9 from Bruce, over the Skuna River, and you'll find yourself in enemy territory at Calhoun City. The Boneyard will be the host site for this year's rivalry showdown and this one may be the one for the ages. Ask any player from Bruce who they want to beat the most, and no question it's their rivals from City. The Trojans haven't beaten the Wildcats since 2004, which have given Calhoun City bragging rights for nearly an entire decade over the town from up north. Expect this game to be a slug-fest between two teams expected to make a run towards a State Championship. I hope that I can be there for it!
Week 8: Friday, October 10th: Booneville at North Pontotoc
We could have gone up to Bruce for Week 8 but we're going to take the trip up to Ecru for this Friday game that could very well decide Region 1-3A yet again in 2014. In one of the most entertaining games of the season last year, the Vikings and Blue Devils scored quickly and efficiently in a high-flying first half. Expect another high-scoring free for all this year as the winner of this game could take some major momentum with them for the rest of the year.
Week 9: Friday, October 17th: South Panola at Tupelo
Week 9 was Judgment Week last year in Mississippi High School Football and it will be the same again this season. There are crucial games littered throughout the schedule for Week 9 but we are going up to The Flood Zone for this clash of titans in Region 1-6A. Tupelo knew they'd have to go through USP to make it to Jackson last year, and sure enough after competing for 4 quarters in the regular season they took out the Tigers in the playoffs. I don't think South Panola forgot how that one went last year, which will make this October 17th regular season game all the more entertaining to see in person.
(Other Games to Watch: Louisville at Aberdeen, Corinth at Itawamba AHS, Starkville at Madison Central)
Thursday, October 23rd: The Cross Creek Rivalry – Nanih Waiya at Noxapater
Easily my favorite game of every high school football season is NW-Pater. You want old school rivalry where the two towns despise each other? Look no further than the Cross Creek Rivalry. It was a bit of a stunner last season seeing the Tigers fall to the Warriors with Noxapater having all the hype of a team that looked to make it to Jackson. This year, it could be the other way around. Nanih Waiya returns an extremely strong junior class while Noxapater will have to work to rebuild following the loss of their strong class of seniors. But like it is with any rivalry football game, throw the records and the preseason hype out the window. It's all about showing up and playing the game. If you're free on that Thursday in late October, I strongly advise getting to Noxapater for that game.
Week 10: Friday, October 24th: Heritage Academy at Starkville Academy
Another great rivalry game where the two teams know each other extremely well and leave everything at the gate when they walk in. Getting to know these two schools well over the past three years, I know how much they want to beat each other. As of late, it's been Heritage that has gotten the best of their rivals but the Volunteers may return the stronger of the two teams this time around. But just like I mentioned above, it's a rivalry game and you throw the records out the window. It's all about showing up and getting after it.
Thursday, October 30th: The Maroon Bowl – East Webster at Eupora
For my money, this is one of the Top 5 rivalries in the area. The 'Maroon Bowl' which it will now be referred to features two schools separated by just 15 miles. Heck, even on Wednesday when I was visiting Eupora today they didn't show some of their plays on offense and special teams because they were afraid I would show it on our High School Football Tour and 'East Webster would get some early help!'. That's the rivalry for you right there. Which team does Eupora want to beat the most in 2014? East Webster. Which team does East Webster want to beat the most in 2014? Eupora. Nothing else needs to be said. But not only does this game have huge bragging rights on the line, it could mean the difference between making or missing the playoffs.
Week 11: Friday, October 31st: Ripley at New Albany
Speaking with New Albany earlier in the off-season, they've talked as a team about how much they want to beat Ripley after the pounding the Tigers put on the Bulldogs last year. (33-0 to be more specific). That defeat has driven NA in the off-season and they know they are catching Ripley at home this season. What better way to end the regular season than to top your rival? We shall see.
Week 12: Friday, November 7th: Coffeeville at Hamilton
While 2A, 3A and 4A are beginning their postseasons we are still sorting things out in 1A, 5A and 6A. There may not be more riding on the last week of the regular season in any classification than in Class 1A when Coffeeville visits Hamilton. It decided the division in 2013 and I would expect it to do the same in 2014. The Lions have a good amount of preseason hype this year while the Pirates were the team no one could beat in district play last season…then the playoffs came around and the 1-seed was stunned in the first round. Both teams will have something to prove on this final night in the 2014 regular season. Make it a point to come see this 1A game that will feature some impressive talent on both sides of the ball.

At Bark, we're fans of Martha [3], kid-lit heroine and newest PBS idol. What's not to love? The nervy yellow mutt with a nonexistent waistline and alphabet soup on the brain blabs up a steady diet of funny, gaffe-rich communications (which, starting last fall, were translated from the small page to the small screen in "Martha Speaks"). While the stories are geared for children ages 4 to 7, with the goal of increasing oral vocabulary, you don't have to be a kid to appreciate the verbal richness of this spirited dog.
Check out our interview with Martha creator, Susan Meddaugh [4] (Bark, Sept/Oct 2008), wherein we uncover a few secrets, including how soup unleashed Martha's gabfest.
If you haven't tuned in to this canine wordsmith, Friday is a perfect day to share the love with a Valentine's Day-inspired episode titled "Martha and the Thief of Hearts," which will be the second of two episodes airing February 13. (Check your local PBS listings.)

Industry groups for producers of copyright material, including the BSA (Business Software Alliance) and the MPA (Motion Picture Association), have signed an agreement with the NCAC (National Copyright Administration of China) for protection against internet piracy in China.
TPA (The Publishers Association) of the UK and The AAP (Association of American Publishers) also signed the memorandum, under which the industry groups will provide information about legal, authorised products distributed by their member companies in China. This will allow the NCAC to distinguish between legal and pirated copies available online. Instances of internet piracy will then be referred to the NCAC, which will inform the proper legal authorities, the MPA said.
The BSA estimates that total losses to pirated software in China in 2005 were $3.9bn, and that 86 percent of all software used in China that year was pirated. The MPA estimates that the piracy rate for its members' products was 93 percent. The numbers are based on estimated sales if pirated or unauthorised products were not available.

Three people were treated on the scene for smoke inhalation when a fire started at one home and spread to two others overnight in the South Chicago neighborhood on the South Side.
The blaze started about 3:20 a.m. in the 8500 block of South Saginaw Avenue and spread to two adjacent buildings, according to Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis.
At least of of the buildings was vacant.
"It was elevated to an extra-alarm immediately," Curtis said. Three people were treated on the scene after they complained of minor smoke inhalation.
No one was hospitalized and while the three 1-1/2 story frame construction residential buildings sustained "heavy damage," they remained standing, Curtis said.
The alarm was canceled at 4:20 a.m.
A 2-11 alarm sends at least eight engines, four trucks, two tower ladders, five battalion chiefs, a district chief, a deputy district chief, a squad company, an ambulance and the Command Van to the scene.

Stephon Marbury had 31 points on 10-19 ahooting yesterday along with 8 assists but, we still managed to find a way to lose the game yesterday. Everybody probably already heard the statement the best PG in the league. Yesterday he said "it's like asking somebody if it's raining outside and it's raining." To me, if you are going to have the audacity to make such a strong statement you better back it up homie! The PG is supposed to be a leader on the floor however, he is not a leader therefore, what he is said is ridiculous.
Marbury missed many clutch freethrows which really cost us the game down the stretch. I am very confident that we could have won the game yesterday had Marbury made his freethrows. We also experienced this against Orlando when Marbury bricked the 2 freethrows and was costly in the game. And even bringing I back to last season, Marbury missed those game 3 freethrows against New Jersey which ended again costly for us as we lost a close one. On other occasions you have games where Marbury just explodes and leads us to victory like Wednesday against Minnesota. This shows Marbury is inconsistent in the clutch.Although Marbury;s attitude has gotten better, I still don't think it is at leadership quality yet. Therefore, maybe Lenny Wilkens's decision of making Marbury a captain was perhaps too early.
In addition, Marbury only plays on one side of the floor. Marbury's handle is as good as they come and is an excellent scorer but, on defense…absolutely horrendous. Isiah Thomas could not have been more clear when he said that Marbury was the worst defensive guard in the league. So, what Marbury does is plays even better offense but, he continues his usual atrocious defense. On Monday Francis had a decent 25 point game. Sam Cassell was struggling a bit because of overall better Knick effort on defense and he had somewhat of a bad night. His struggling was definitely not due to the defensive prowess of Stephon Marbury. I only saw about half of the game on TV (stingy brother) but, I heard the rest on the radio. You can not believe all of the times I heard Spencer Ross say and another layup for Jason Kidd. Atleast for me, anytime you have someone just coming back from knee surgery, beat you to the hole, it is a sign of dreadful defense. But again, I didn't see the game however, the way Mr. Spencer describes it, it sounds as if Kidd had the best game of the season. I am sure almost all of you are familiar with the phrase "defense wins championships." Now the Knicks have a good amount of offensive weapons like Houston, Crawford (when he comes back), Marbury, Nazr, Kurt, and even JYD can give them an occasional lift. Do you guys wonder why that second unit of Moochie Norris, Sweetney, Kurt Thomas, Ariza and JYD, always seems to be effective? Because it is an evenly balanced attack. The other Knicks are just offensively oriented and allow the other team so many opportunities. When the Knick starters are having a bad day games= games like against Dallas occur.
Marbury is a good player but, maybe somewhat overrated because of his highlights or his numbers. I think his lack of success in his 8 year NBA career, is partly due to him and some of his flaws. I hope it doesn't sound as if I'm bashing Marbury, because he has done many great things for us. I just wanted to point out some of my concerns.
I don't know how to say it better than Tim Thomas is a grade A bum. He makes the bums you see at the subway look like Bill Gates. Tribute, my bad homie, I would rather have KVH over TT on any day. In fact, I would rather have my grandma starting at that SF spot. Maybe even Carlton Banks on the Fresh Prince, or maybe even Gary Coleman! It wont matter of the height, Tim Thomas doesn't use his either. He too plays like he is only 4 feet tall. I mean the guy is 6'10 and yet manages to find a way to average 3.4 rebounds per game. I have no idea how that is possible. Tribute you should be an NBA scout. If you could perceive Tim Thomas being a bum at this level I wonder what else you might see!
I've heard the whole family situation. He said his sister and his cousin died and I really do feel sorry for him. But, the Knicks do not have the time for him to find his groove. If he feels he can not be effective which has clearly shown, don't play. Now I am not asking him to take it as well as when Frank Williams did or Ben Wallace. They took some time off but, as soon as they came back they became effective again. When he plays this dismal basketball he is taking away possible shots for our key players and role players. I am sure players like Allan Houston, or Stephon Marbury could have made atleast some of the 15 shots he missed (attempted out of 18 )
The thing that really gets to me is the man has all the talent in the world to be a superstar. He is strong, athletic, tall, and versatile. But, the man is lazy plain and simple. How is it that PG's about 6'2, or 6'3 in this league average more rebounds than him? I really can't understand that. Can someone please tell me how? You know what? I would rather have KVH than him anyday, hour minute or second of the week. KVH was playing some spectacular basketball for us. Sometimes he played a bit soft, but, he was having the best year in his career consistency wise. I remember he had this little 9 game streak with 20+ points. He was a guaranteed 17 and 7 kind of guy. He also had his fair share of highlights like that reverse dunk on Radmanovic . But, more important than the highlight reels he was beneficial to us. There is no question in my mind that if KVH were here, we would have atleast 20 wins by now. But, for some reason, Isiah felt that a man averaging a career high of 14ppg and an amazing 5 rebounds per game could prove to help this team. I still have my doubts about the "Nazr was the key thing." I heard he traded him because he had some beef with his agent. He also tried to trade him a number of times as well before the deadline. This will shortly lead into my concerns on Isiah Thomas. But, close out on our starting Fugazy, I really thought this guy would improve I had all the faith in the world but, after I saw him this season I lost all of that. Any Knick fan or human being on this earth that still believes in Tim Thomas should be given props because of their great faith! Knicks Analyst, I read your resolution on Tim Thomas. However, there is no resolution good enough to fix this problem. For him to become half way decent will require nothing short of a pure miracle!
He is the other dangerous Thomas not on the court but, sitting at the desk. Do you guys ever wonder if the Knicks can ever really go far? Well many of Isiah Thomas' moves, I think are for temporary purposes. I think he decides to do things just to be immediately better because either he doesn't have the patience, or he wants the praise of the unopened eyes. I was just like this but, after I took a closer look and really started analyzing and thinking I realized I was a blind dude on a bandwagon. Do you guys remember a young guy by the name of Frank Williams? For those who do, he clearly had a great future. I remember many of the things he did when he got sufficient time. Do you guys remember that game where he had 12 points in about half a quarter against the Lakers last season? Or maybe that time when he had 10 points and 10 assists in only one quarter of play. Or that time he gave us 17 against the T'Wolves. Let's not forget those 14 points against the Grizzlies! How about what he did in the playoffs! The fact of the matter is Frank has really shown us some flashes that he could clearly become very valuable to us. Isiah Thomas brought in Marbury and it was almost as if that move killed the growth of him. This guy could have been really good for us. That's exactly why I don't really want Abdur-Rahim, or definitely not Walker, or the rest of these guys. These guys will only kill the development of Sweetney just like Frank Williams. Sure we might get a couple of more wins in the season but, a franchise is not one year therefore the future of the club should be considered. Isiah Thomas also gave up 2 potentially good players, and the projected next Dirk Nowitzki for Marbury. Look at Phoenix now. I remember hearing the Suns are stupid, why trade Marbury look what you got. Now look at them. They currently hold the best record in the league. Now you tell me did they get the short end of the stick. While Phoenix was doing the smart thing in seeing what was good for the future, we came and decided what was good now. The Knicks could have made the playoffs had Marbury not been here either. I wont talk about the deal too much because we got a decent player in it however, indeed very risky, and I think getting Marbury would have required much less work. I already said my opinion about the KVH/TT deal so I will leave that one alone. Finally, I will say I he shouldn't let his personal matters get into the way of the business of his job. I wouldn't trade a player because of his agent nor my personal feelings on them. The teams performance is the most important part. The firing of Don Chaney was also a ridiculous way of handling things. I read in the paper that Fratello was not interested in coaching the Knicks…but, if he chose Lenny over him Isiah is a fool. I also thought it was interesting how there is only one white person on the team, and what he said about Larry Bird. Hmm…I wonder what this means about him. What do you guys feel about it? I find it very peculiar.
I will be real brief on this guy because taking a little look at the "What we really need is…" thread, it looks as though Tribute has gotten that part covered :yay:. I feel Lenny Wilkens is not a good fit for his team and is a very mediocre coach if not bad. People are loving this cat because he has the most wins ever but, let's not forget he also has the most losses! For such a veteran he makes some of the most awful decisions. The one that really never left me quite yet is that zone on the Mavericks. You had 3 people on the floor that shot over 40% from behind the arc and yet you play zone?!?! Also there is another one that I can't understand. When he puts an effective unit on the floor, why not keep it there? He always seems to substitute right after the team has gotten us back into the game. Also he doen;t put any balance into the roster. Yesterday as we all saw was a good example of that fourth quarter collapse due to the imbalance. He also doesn't know how to balance time either. How is it Bum, I mean Tim Thomas has averaged a pretty good chunk of 27 minutes per game. He sees that Thomas is ineffective and Ariza is but, my son isn't getting burn even when he does his thing. Also I'm very sure Vin Baker could help much more than Tim Thomas and yet he gets playing time as little as Tim Thomas' work ethic. Also I see Sweetney on the bench many times too. I can not understand Lenny Wilkens at all. I bet I can coach the Knicks better than him!
The Knicks are so unpredictable. I would say they are "a box of chocolate—you never know what you're going to get." The games that we should be wining we are not. Now Washington increased with a win today but, a unnecessary loss yesterday to the Nets just got us further below in the standings. Boston also won yesterday and are doing better than I expected. If we keep on playing this inconsistent basketball, we are in trouble. We have all the weapons, and talent in the world. Let's make a nice run and stay running instead of falling when it could have been avoided like yesterday.

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
It's an August midafternoon in El Cajon. It's 100 degrees, and the sane people are in the shade, keeping still. Not Mike Davis. For an hour, the most famous social historian of Southern California has been walking me through Bostonia, a two-square-mile enclave just north of El Cajon, where he grew up in the '50s and '60s. With hat and sunglasses, I'm burning up; head and eyes uncovered, Davis beads a lone ball of sweat. Having lived in Los Angeles, London, New York, and Hawaii, he has once again settled in San Diego. Though he's fidgety about being back, he seems at home in East County, especially since he's been writing about the place that made him. The author of City of Quartz and other books about L.A.'s past and future woes has, with two local authors, just written a new book, Under the Perfect Sun: The San Diego Tourists Never See. It's a history of local sleaze, in "the most corrupt city on the West Coast," beginning with His Highness of Corruption, Alonzo Horton, and ending with Her Majesty of Folly, Susan Golding.
Later, Davis asks whether I'd like to get a drink at Dumont's tavern, a Hells Angels hangout on El Cajon Boulevard. "You don't mind if we get beat up, do you?" In June, the Angels' clubhouse, near Dumont's, was raided by a multiagency task force, and today 18 Hells Angels or associates are in jail. According to the Union-Tribune, they've been indicted on "a long list of charges that include drug trafficking, racketeering and plans to kill members of a rival club." While the U.S. Attorney's Office boasts of having, with this bust, "eliminated [the] scourge" of a "drug trafficking ring" that moved "marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine throughout the United States from Mexico," Davis looks beyond all that to a kindred vision he has with the bikers.
A radical still at 57, Davis stands with those of whatever stripe who picket, subvert, refuse allegiance to, and revolt against the corporate, cultural, and political interests that control our lives. After the fall of Communism, Davis is a political anomaly, whose self-definition is now puckishly ironic: "I am a socialist in the same sense that Billy Graham is a Baptist." With short gray hair and a trimmed beard, Davis exhibits a chumminess more ursine than affable. He loves discussing the militancy of subcultures, be it the Hells Angels or Los Angeles developers, the latter the bête noire of his best sellers, City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles (1990) and Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster (1998). These books, along with Davis's teaching, editing, and other writing about California environmental, labor, and social history, have garnered him two prestigious awards: a Getty fellowship, in 1997, and the so-called genius grant, a MacArthur fellowship, in 1998.
Inside Dumont's, the single-lighted pool table, the cool dark, and the jukebox rhythms feel friendly, down home. One Angel behind the bar and another breaking a rack may be all that's left of the local band. I sense Davis's comfort in a place most would call hostile; such ease allows him to explain how he, a precocious adolescent, was politicized during the 1960s. "I thought," Davis says, quaffing a beer, that "El Cajon was the heart of darkness. San Diego to me was alive. I loved downtown; I loved coming to the city." That view shattered when Davis joined the civil rights movement in 1962. He discovered the "fanatical opposition to racial justice here" and experienced "the violent reaction to civil rights demonstrations that I was in." It was a time, he says, when the San Diego Union, under editor Herb Klein, was "in league with the Christian anti-Communist crusade. I started asking my father about who runs San Diego, and he told me about C. Arnholt Smith and Irving Kahn and the Alessio brothers." Davis had no idea that his beloved city was ruled by robber barons, let alone that he might plumb their exploitation one day with a leftist critique.
Years later, Davis would meet David Reid, a political historian and the editor of Sex, Death and God in L.A., who also grew up in San Diego in the '50s. As former San Diegans, the two wondered why this town has "as noirish a history as any city in the Sun Belt" and yet "still manages to get by with its sunny image." The culmination of Davis's thinking about local political history has gone into Under the Perfect Sun and his 127-page section, "The Next Little Dollar: The Private Governments of San Diego." Two more sections tap a similar vein. In "Just Another Day in Paradise? An Episodic History of Rebellion and Repression in America's Finest City," San Diego City College professor Jim Miller documents the role of the Industrial Workers of the World, ethnic-based protest, and unions in the city's working-class past. In "Life in Vacationland: The 'Other' San Diego," City College professor Kelly Mayhew presents interviews with current and former local activists as well as new immigrants. David Reid's foreword to the book begins, "A city is a body of fate, but unfortunately the world cannot be persuaded that San Diego is anything other than a sunny congery of tourist attractions. Here, crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would stupefy and amaze if they were set in New York or Los Angeles do not intrigue beyond the county line. Historically, it seems San Diego cannot represent itself, and is barely represented by others."
In a phone interview, Reid discusses with me his admiration for Davis's work. "The organizing principle of Mike's books is the urban peril of the working class and the mixed multitudes of the city." There's "a certain kind of urban sensibility that he had a lot to do with crystallizing. He brought an extraordinary and compendiously learned sociological and geological perspective to this kind of noir environment, which now seems to be so irresistible as to have been inevitable. But at the time" Davis started writing, "it really wasn't."

Washington sees fire on mound from Feliz
Washington sees fire on mound from Feliz
ANAHEIM -- Neftali Feliz recorded his 24th save with a scoreless ninth in the Rangers' 4-3 victory over the Angels on Wednesday. Feliz has now thrown 5 1/3 scoreless innings since his last blown save against the Indians on Aug. 6. Last month manager Ron Washington said he wanted Feliz to show more fire and urgency in his job. Washington said Thursday that he has seen that lately from his closer. "This is the part of the year where championship teams and winning teams step up," Washington said. "He is stepping up. Everything from this point on, this is it and he's got it going on right now. I see a guy who knows what is at stake and he's focused on it."
A few days after Washington said Feliz needed more fire, the Rangers acquired relievers Koji Uehara from the Orioles and Mike Adams from the Padres. Both have the ability to close, but Washington said he has already told Feliz not to worry about that. "I've already told him his job is secure," Washington said. "He's got no business thinking about that."

EastEnders: Sharon Rickman plots Phil Mitchell's downfall
WATCH out Phil Mitchell, Sharon Rickman is gunning for you.
The brassy blonde will launch a secret mission to destroy her boyfriend's life once and for all.
Sharon, played by Letitia Dean, 46, starts plotting when she finds out Phil was behind the attack at her bar that almost killed her.
Phil (Steve McFadden, 55) paid a couple of thugs to raid the place so Sharon would agree to hire security but the plan went badly wrong when the guys attacked Sharon and she ended up in the hospital.
The assault left her on edge and fans will soon find out she is an emotional wreck.
She even steals Ronnie's gun and viewers will see her lose the plot when she finds Dennis near the weapon next week.
"Sharon decides she's going to rinse Phil for everything he's got"
So when she finally discovers the truth about the break-in, she starts planning revenge.
Sharon and Phil are due to get married but fans will have to wait and see whether they actually make it down the aisle.
Talking about the bar attack, Letitia said: "It was shocking, very quick and violent. When you are caught like that and seriously hurt, I think it would take a long time to recover.
"Emotionally, she would find it hard to trust people again."
A show insider added: "Sharon decides she's going to rinse Phil for everything he's got.
"She's still plotting right up until their wedding day, but will she go through with it or will she come clean?"

Velichkin told ITAR-TASS news agency Wednesday that he had got a strange fax. He claims that the document, allegedly Malkin's resignation latter, was not signed by him.continued

Prepaid Visa Debit Cards
The prepaid Visa debit card is a good buying option for those who don't either don't want to use credit cards or who can't use credit cards. The Visa debit card gives you the name recognition of one of the world's largest credit institutions, which lets you spend your money with an electronic swipe at retail outlets around the globe.
Why Use Debit Cards?
A debit card offers several advantages for a card user. Students, immigrants, and children often use prepaid debit cards, which can be bought at participating retail chains like Walmart, Walgreens, and Paypal. The reason the prepaid debit card is so useful is that you don't have to undergo a background check or credit check to get the card. All you have to do is pay cash up-front.
This means that an underage child, who normally would never be issued a credit card from Visa, actually has a Visa card at their fingertips. This means they have one piece of plastic to keep a hand on, instead of a billfold or a pocketful of dollar bills and change. Or you can hand a Visa debit card to your child going on a trip or vacation, in case of emergency. If the child loses their cash or has some other situation come up, they suddenly have an extra $50 or $100 to call home or get home with.
The prepaid debit card from Visa works just as well for students, foreign workers, and those with low credit scores. Students might not be able to get a Visa card normally, because they haven't built up their credit score. Immigrants of a certain nature might not have the documentation to secure a credit card, while those with a bad credit history might prefer to use plastic to cash or check, so they buy into a "pay as you go" plan from Visa.
Visa Debit Cards
So there are a number of compelling reasons and compelling scenarios where the Visa prepaid debit card makes a lot of sense. But even if you've already decided you want to buy a prepaid Visa debit card, you might not have decided where the best place to make your purchase is, or how to make a purchase. So let me discuss some of the most common options for debit card users.
Walmart Visa Debit Card
Walmart is one of the likeliest places you'll buy a Visa prepaid card. The particular name you're looking for is "Walmart Moneycard Visa Prepaid Card", which currently has a sky blue face on it. Like other debit cards, the Walmart Moneycard has no overdraft fees, no minimum balance requires, no credit check, and no bank account required.
Other advantages to the Walmart Moneycard include free direct deposit and no issuance fees online. Customers using the Moneycard for gas purchases nationwide receive a 1% cash back rebate, something everyone need right now. There's also a $10 bonus at qualifying Direct Deposit locations. The Moneycard can be used anywhere Visa debit is accepted, which includes ATMs (getting cash), shopping online at many of the top retailers, and even paying your bills electronically.
Paypal Prepaid Visa Debit Card
Prepaid Visa debit cards via Paypal are also available. These cards are issued from Visa or Mastercard, and carry the logo of whichever company issues the card. A Paypal debit card issued from Visa is going to be accepted anywhere Visa cards are accepted. These cards often have generous limits, and take somewhere between two to four weeks to arrive by mail. When getting a Paypal debit card, there are no background checks.
Another option is to tie in an existing Visa debit card to your Paypal account. My local bank issues a Visa debit card, which is also networked with my Paypal account. If I want to buy something online, the vendor sends me to Paypal, where I log-in and okay the transaction. My Visa debit card's number code (partially) shows on the transaction.
Walgreens Prepaid Visa Debit Card
The Walgreens prepaid Visa debit card is better-known as the "Green Dot Prepaid Visa Card" or "Green Dot Gold Prepaid Visa Card". The Green Dot card is issued in your name via Mastercard or Visa. Like other prepaid debit cards, you don't have to have a bank account and no credit check is required. You'll never have overdraft fees, long term commitments, or penalty charges. Instead, you can shop online, pay bills electronically, or get cash from ATMs around the country (or world) using your Green Dot Gold Prepaid Visa Card.
These cards are safer than carrying cash, because if you lose the card, your money is still safe. These are available at your local Walgreens. The purchase price is $4.95 plus the amount you want to load into the prepaid debit card. Loading options range between $10 and $500.
More Prepaid Visa Debit Cards
The cards from Walmart, Paypal, and Walgreens are not the only Visa prepaid cards you'll find on the market. Below are a list of other cards you'll find issued in stores and online, often through the Visa official website. There may be other cards yet to be launched or already in existence, but these are the ones I know about at present.
Notice how there are cards marketed for students, children, women, online shoppers, and premium card holders. There is debit card from Visa for just about any buyer on the market.
Prepaid Visa Debit Card Fees
Before you make your purchase of a prepaid Visa debit card, let me give you a warning about certain fees charged. One of the main reason for shopping around is to find the cards with lower fees or no fees on the types of transactions you use a lot. Keep an eye out, or your hard-earned money can be frittered away by excessive fees.
I've seen activation fees on debit cards all the way up to $20, which is an outrageous price to start buying. Monthly maintenance fees are another hidden price of using certain prepaid cards. There is also a loading fee oftentimes (up to $5 per transaction), which is charged when you add money to your account.
Card replacement fees on prepaid cards might be as much as $15, though that's a little more understandable. Buying the prepaid debit card sometimes comes with an additional $1 charge, though you'll usually find this is free. Finally, there is sometimes a charge of up to $20 for a "minimum load amount", which is nothing short of outrageous.
I should mention that the maximum fee amounts I've mentioned have not always been on Visa prepaid debit cards, but sometimes among their competitors. The point being, learn exactly what the details are when purchasing a Visa prepaid debit card.

This is my umpteenth time meeting Miss Anna Kendrick! Shes always sweet in person, and always a scene stealer! In the film, she plays the love interest of the character played by Jake Gyllenhaal. And Natalie Martinez has grown up to become a confident actress since I first interviewed her for Death Race. Remember that film? No? You will definitely remember Martinez in End of Watch as Michael Penas characters wife. In this interview, we talked about:
*** What attracted them in making End of Watch
*** The script, the way it was shot
*** Anna Kendricks sex scene with Jake Gyllenhaal
*** Natalie Martinezs confidence as an actress
*** And finally, what the heck is a gooch? Texas Twister? Find out in the movie!

So, I was blessed for being invited at the Toronto International Film Festival, and I was doubly blessed for being able to see one of the best films of the year, End of Watch. David Ayer, the guy who wrote Training Day, wrote and directed this fantastic film! In this interview, we talked about:
*** What made him want to go back to the LAPD world?
*** He ate all the words he said about corrupt cops being an interesting tool in doing a cop movie.
*** The camera technique he used for End of Watch
*** The palpable chemistry between Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena they didnt like each other at first!
Have fun!

To experience how the insurance industry is responding to the tornado that took out a large swath of Joplin, Mo. on May 22—the EF5's path through the city was nearly a mile wide and about 7 miles long— I "embedded" on June 7 with State Farm Insurance so I could witness the company's concerted response to the devastating storm that left more than 150 dead and 1,000 injured.
During my visit, I met with a local State Farm agent, Karen Rutledge, to hear how her agency has been dealing with this enormous catastrophe—and the profound impact it has had on her clients.
"The people walking in, the phone calls—it was just overwhelming. And the stories [were] so emotionally devastating that it was just very challenging for all of us to try to give them the comfort they needed, besides the help they needed—in the timely manner that we're accustomed to taking care of our customers," Rutledge says, describing what the first 24 hours were like after the storm.
Rutledge, who has been an agent for 25 years—and is both the mother and daughter of an agent—was actually in Chicago when the tornado struck. She raced back to get to her clients—and technology played a crucial role in connecting her while on the road.
"On my ride back, the part of the [trip] that my parents were driving, I actually was able from my Blackberry to access the voicemails people had sent me and file the claims on my iPad through State Farm's application—so I was doing that in the car while my mother was frantically trying to get me back to where I needed to be," she says.

State Farm has a "Buddy System" that it can implement during disasters—where agents in unaffected areas offer their help to their colleagues in the center of the storm. And this outside aid played a critical role in making sure Rutledge and her three full-time employees were able to handle the inevitable surge of client interactions in the wake of the destruction.
"I'm sure I would have had a meltdown by now if I had not had the help of those State Farm partners," Rutledge tells me with emotion as we sit in her office. "These are agents willing to walk away from their office and the way they make a living to come and help somebody else."
Even before Rutledge arrived back from Chicago Monday morning, fellow State Farm agents had set up a generator at her office—which was near the tornado's path but had been spared any damage. "So when I got here at about 11:30 on Monday morning, my team had power to at least operate the computers, to be able to take the calls, and help people coming in—which was just awesome. It was just huge for us to be able to have a place for people to come that was functioning and be able to help them."
Some of the State Farm buddies had claims backgrounds and were helping to write advance checks to customers. And the extra bodies helped make sure that every client who came through the door quickly was able to quickly have a person-to-person conversation.
Related: Joplin Aftermath: A Reporter's Notebook and Video Diary
Asked about some of the stories that most stuck out amidst all the turmoil and trauma, Rutledge says, "There's just been so many people who were actually in their homes—nothing left—and I asked them where they were in the home and over and over I have heard it was the bathtub. Word has gotten out over the years that the safest room in your house is possibly the bathroom. So many stories of people riding out the storm in their bathtub and that being all that was left and not even in the same place in the house—maybe it was in the yard. It's just amazing, seriously, that there were not more [fatalities]."
And how will the tornado impact the agency's business going forward? "I think now when we talk to people about the coverages on their homeowners, and we talk about here's what we estimate with the tools we have on what it's going to cost to rebuild—that we now have the experience to know the tools we work with are legitimate. And [clients] need to seriously consider this even though [they] think, "Oh well, I could only sell it for this"—which has nothing to do with the cost of reconstruction. And I think people will realize that those [increased coverages] are worth considering.
The other lesson both insureds and prospective policyholders are likely to take away? "That catastrophe does happen. And now we know because we've all experienced it, and it can be us, and it was us. So we need to be prepared in our coverages and everything that insurance can provide for us."
Rutledge has been laboring literally non-stop since the storm struck. And to me, the level of caring she demonstrated for her clients was remarkable—truly epitomizing State Farm's "Like a Good Neighbor" slogan. Take this story, as an example.
"There was an elderly couple. I didn't have their home insured, but I did have their cars insured. And I could not make contact with them. They did not have a cellphone. None of the land lines were working—and I knew from their address they had the potential of being in the middle of it. So I decided to go find them, and they were at their house with one wall standing. Neither car was drivable—they were buried in the debris.
"They had a little U-Haul truck next to the house and were kind of camping there with the dog. It was so warm that day, and they, though not in good health, were trying to dig through their things. He had cut his hand had not had a tetanus shot. We all decided it would be good if he went down to the Memorial Hall where they had set up a triage. So I put him in the car and took him down there and stayed while they treated him—cooled him off, removed debris from his eye. I took him back, and he just looked so much better—and his wife was so relieved."
Before I left, I asked Rutledge if there was any way to find something positive amidst such trauma. "This is an experience that you hope you never have, but you certainly learn a lot from—and it certainly helps build your relationship with your customers."

Originally published on the Employer's Law Blog
The Labor Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, on December 9, 2011, proposed a rule that would require federal contractors to establish a hiring goal of 7 percent of the employer's workforce for persons with disabilities. The proposal represents a change from over forty years of OFCCP policy requiring contractors to make a "good faith effort" to recruit and hire people with disabilities. The rule would strengthen affirmative action requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, which requires federal contractors and subcontractors to provide equal employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
OFCCP Director, Patricia Shiu commented that the proposal would "define specific goals, require real accountability, and provide the clearest possible guidance for employers seeking to comply with the law." The 7 percent goal is not a hiring quota or a restrictive ceiling under the proposed rule; it is merely an EEO objective.
The proposed rule is in line with the Obama Administration's effort to improve the lives of disabled persons. It also revises key terms (such as "substantially limits," "disability," and "major life activity") under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act to conform with the ADA Amendments Act. The proposed rule also includes a provision that would invite job applicants to self-identify as disabled and also would require federal contractors to survey their current employees annually to provide employees with the opportunity to self-identify as disabled. Voluntary self-identification will allow contractors to compile data to assess the effectiveness of recruitment efforts. Pursuant to the proposed rule, contractors also would be required to perform an annual review assessing their recruitment and hiring efforts. Finally, the rule would require federal contractors to collaborate with state vocational rehabilitation agencies or local organizations to help with recruitment and training of persons with disabilities.www.daypitney.com

General Question
Are Lupus and Thyroid cancer related?
Lots of details! First off I have an Aunt (mother's side) that has Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Hypothyroidism. My grandmother had hypothyroidism. My mother recently had thyroid removed d/t papillary thyroid cancer. All labs prior to removal were normal but she had large cancerous nodules. My mother continues to have chronic fatigue, joint pain, swelling, trigger fingers, and has recently started getting these circular growing red patchy areas that come and go all over her body. Her thyroglobulin levels are slightly elevated. Last TSH was 162 (doc. says keeping it high to prevent return of cancer). My son has a SEVERE skin condition since 2 months (dx. as eczema) that is only partially controlled with a steroid cream. My mother's skin condition and my son's look very similar. The Doctor has said my sons may be psoriasis. I have thyroid nodules and chronic fatigue also and I am to get a biopsy soon. I highly doubt we all have lupus but speculate if there is some sort of autoimmune disorder that we may have that might be causing this. Really frustrated because I want answers for my mom and want her to feel better. It's been almost 1½ yrs since thyroid removed and she still feels bad but is still having testing (next is a CT scan). Its been so long an still no answers. Does anyone know of any autoimmune disorder that could cause this? I think it is more than a coincidence that we all are having these issues. Anybody have any insight they might want to give?
