BEAUMONT - Beaumont Police are investigating a home invasion in which a 17-year-old girl was shot when a gun went off during a struggle and the suspect was attacked and injured by several people inside the apartment.
Police responded to the robbery Wednesday night at an apartment complex in the 4600 block of Hartel near the campus of Lamar University.
Officers found a 17-year-old girl with a superficial gunshot wound to her right shoulder. Police say the suspect received extensive injuries during a struggle with several men inside the apartment during the attempted robbery.
Beaumont EMS transported both the teen and the suspect to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth ER for treatment of their injuries. The girl was treated for her minor injury and released. ER doctors admitted the suspect for treatment of injuries to his head.
Detectives took statements from several people who were in the apartment at the time of the robbery attempt. From witness accounts, detectives were able to determine that the suspect knocked on the door and the teenage girl answered it. As the girl answered the door, the suspect rushed in with a handgun. The suspect demanded money and several men inside the apartment began to struggle with him. They were able to wrestle the gun away from the suspect and the girl was shot once during the struggle. Detectives are still attempting to determine the exact facts surrounding how the teen was shot.

Penicillium conidiae
Penicillium-high dry
The fungi include a variety of general forms–yeast, mold, mushrooms, and imperfect fungi. They reproduce in a variety of ways – by a bud arising from a parent yeast cell, by the addition of a vegetative cell to chains of cells called hyphae, and by the production of both asexual and sexual spores.
Although fungi form both asexual and sexual spores, they are classified based on the type of sexual spore they form.
Penicillium is best known for its production of the antibiotic penicillin. Asexual reproduction occurs with a fruiting body, which consists of conidia containing spherical conidiospores in chains at the end of elongated branching cells.

Sidharth Monga

MS Dhoni has admitted to being disappointed "to an extent" with his own spinners, but he insisted Monty Panesar was a touch above everyone else, making the big difference. India finally got the square turner they wanted, played three spinners, won the toss, posted a first-innings total that many thought was surplus in these conditions, but squandered it through some ordinary spin bowling.
In helpful conditions, Panesar and Graeme Swann took 19 wickets between them in 121.2 overs. India's three specialist bowlers bowled 113.1 overs for just nine wickets. To say the Indian spinners were outplayed will be an understatement. This is one of the most disappointing performances by an Indian spin unit in favourable home conditions.
It can be granted that Panesar's natural pace is more suited to bowling on such pitches, but Swann adjusted well too, unlike the Indian bowlers. R Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh were especially friendly on a surface where spinners had no business being friendly. Especially disappointing was their tendency to bowl short, not making the batsmen drive, which was where most of the mistakes happened. That is what, according to Dhoni, was the bigger flaw than not being able to adjust to the pace required on the surface.
"There is a particular style of bowling," Dhoni said. "We also tried to bowl fast. We didn't get the same purchase. It's the same as two different batsmen. Some conditions suit you, some don't. I felt the only thing we could have done better is make them drive more than we did. If you bowl short on a wicket that has a bit of bounce, you give them time. Especially the fact that we were getting more purchase when we were bowling a little slow."
However, Dhoni was fulsome in his praise of Panesar. "The way Monty bowled, he was different from other bowlers," Dhoni said. "All the other bowlers were getting bounce and turn, but Monty bowled at real pace. He bowled at 90-95kph and even above that, and still he got real turn. He had a big impact on the game.
"The other spinners got the bounce, but they never looked to trouble the batsmen as much a Monty did. Big credit goes to him. If you get performances like this, margin of defeat can be big. Credit also goes to Pujara from our side, who batted really well. Pietersen and Cook batted really well. They batted off the back foot really well. I wish we were a bit fuller, and made them drive more."
However, Dhoni stood by his demand for exactly the kind of pitch this Test was played on. "I think this was a very good wicket," he said. "Tests in the subcontinent should be played on such wickets. The toss wasn't that vital. It started turning from the first day."
Dhoni insisted he would love to get such pitches more often, regardless of the result here. "Of course I will want a similar wicket," he said. "That's what our speciality is. What's the point of playing on a flat track and winning the toss and batting for three or four days over the Test? You want to face challenges in test cricket. These are the kinds of wickets that push you. Definitely all the wickets should be like this."
However, Dhoni's reasoning for such pitches calls for a much better show from the players in Kolkata. "The best thing about these conditions is, no side is guaranteed a win," Dhoni said. "You have to play well to win." If India do get another turner, they will "have to play well to win."

Is Ken Blackwell (Republican Candidate for Ohio's Governor) A Gothardite?
In this recent story, we showed you the connections between the secular front of the Bill Gothard movement and President George W. Bush. In the hotly contested election in 2004, Ohio was a battleground state -- and election experts like Bob Fitrakis have books documenting Ohio's stolen election. Well, it turns out that J. Kenneth Blackwell, Secretary of State and candidate for Ohio Governor, just so happens to have connections to these conniving Gothardites. (And you thought mixing politics with mega-churches was weird!)
Is the growing character cult trying to hand elections over to Republicans who have sipped on their Kool-Aid?
The 2004 Character First! newsletter announces that J. Kenneth Blackwell will be the keynote speaker at the 2004 International Association of Character Cities Convention, while also giving general praise to Blackwell's efforts:
Communities, Candidates, Colleges, and Character
The state of Ohio has made great strides towards fulfilling the state General Assembly's Joint Resolution that designated Ohio as a "character-building state."
Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has championed the cause throughout Ohio, sponsoring the Ohio Center for Civic Character. The OCCC is a state-wide project designed to help leaders improve their communities. Blackwell and the OCCC have developed the Candidates of Character Project that encourages candidates for public office to make a written commitment to exemplify and encourage good character.
In order to define good character and provide a common vocabulary, the Ohio Secretary of State's office published Uncommon Sense, a document outlining how individuals can demonstrate good character in their own lives and in their relationships with others. "Noble visions, worthy missions and guiding values all require and are validated by character ethics," Blackwell says on his website. "Thus, a strong character foundation is and always will be the key predictor of true personal health, interpersonal vitality, and organizational success."
OCCC also supports the Ohio Collegiate Alliance for Character. This group of higher education institutions cooperates to define broad character-based standards and develop specific programs to teach and reward good character among administrators, faculty, staff, and students.
"No matter how technologically advanced we get, it will always be about relationships," said Ohio Assistant Secretary of State Monty Lobb. "We feel like from a citizenship perspective that character is the cornerstone of what it means to be a good citizen, and citizenship is the foundation for healthy, vibrant communities."
Blackwell will speak at the 2004 International Building Cities of Character Conference to be held September 22-24 in Oklahoma City.
So who's that Assistant Secretary of State Monty Lobb? Locals might remember him as the old president of CCV (Citizens for Community Values) who worked to shut down the Mapplethorpe exhibit (due to the presence of images like the ones pictured here.) He has also been spotted more recently, giving speeches like this one, where he talks about how everyone in the SOS office wears "character lapel pins."
In an article rather like Silja Talvi's "Cult of Character" (which exposed the Gothardites for the sexist and child abusive beliefs), Katherine Yurica has one called "Blackwell's Un-American Scheme." Here are some relevant excerpts. Please pardon the lengthy quotation, but all of the material is significant:
J. Kenneth Blackwell has stepped to the forefront of the American culture wars. Standing with his feet securely rooted in a form of Orwellian "Double-Think," he has posted his official endorsement of a 20-point religious moral code claimed to be "a shared vocabulary of character-building ethics" on Ohio's official Secretary of State web site. Blackwell wrote, "Character is the cornerstone of American citizenship. And good citizenship is the foundation of community. It is also the foundation of both good business and good government." (Note that he places business before government.)
The 20-Rules to "good" character is titled "UncommonSense"[10] which Blackwell recommends "as a character ethics model for Ohio's business and government leaders." Blackwell invites candidates for office to join him in launching "a revolution of character-building in our great state."
Blackwell speaks candidly. It is a revolution in a deceptively pretty package. Hidden in its paragraphs are concepts of submission, obedience, inspection of the personal lives of people, and the loss of personal rights and freedom that would make America's founding fathers stand on their heads in their graves. In short it is a Dominionist document: a religious treatise in secular terms, but dominionist to the core. It's a brilliant little package to get millions of evangelical Christians and their friends to accept authoritarian government without even a whisper of protest.
It's so deceptively written that people of other faiths or avowed atheists won't know they are accepting religious tenets -- that in fact it is a rational interpretation of some Christian ethics and as such it's nothing less than a concise theological document in drag. Christians, however, will "know" it's "Christian" because the unknown authors of the little tract[11] have salted the mine with recognizable terms and barely disguised Bible verses.
There is a strategic reason the authors wanted Christians to believe it is a "Christian" document -- the authors had to send signals over the heads of most of America's citizens in order to reach the faithful evangelicals -- so they would feel comfortable in embracing it. But the authors also had to walk a fine line -- they could not present a religious document from the State of Ohio to its citizens without violating the Constitution of the United States of America. Hence the subterfuge.
What I intend to show you is that J. Kenneth Blackwell and many of the GOP leaders from Ohio and many others in Congress, necessarily know the truth about the religious moral code titled UncommonSense, and how civic renewal has been used and diverted from its original intent. They know that it is a covert way to impose certain religious beliefs upon American citizens using governmental powers. They know that they are in the process of religionizing America and also dominating it. They know it just as they know the sound and rhythm of familiar Bible verses. They know it like they know the prickly feeling on the back of their necks when they hear strains of down-home Gospel singing hitting their ears and hearts. They know it because they planned it.
Just piece together the evidence, everyone. It's plain as day. George W. Bush is affiliated with Gothard. J. Kenneth Blackwell is affiliated with Gothard. Ohio is a battleground state. According to elections experts like Bob Fitrakis, Blackwell hands Ohio to Bush. By the way, let's not forget that Blackwell is still holding out on counting Fitrakis's petitions to run as a Green candidate for Ohio governor.

My First Time
Illustration by Thomas Pitilli
Female, 17, New York
I met him on the internet, but to our friends, we met at a small coffeeshop one night. In reality, at seventeen, I had finally accepted the fact that all high-school boys were shitheads. I had barely any female friends, and therefore no one to discourage me from lying about my age online. A dating website used for an occasional ego boost transformed into a way I could potentially meet interesting guys for real.
We met at the Museum of Modern Art, only after talking extensively via text. I understood the potential danger of the situation, but wasn't discouraged. Charlie was tall, blond, and impossibly thin with a light beard. Argumentative and difficult at first, babbling about sci-fi novels and fonts, Charlie was an accomplished programmer who, I learned, knew next to nothing about art. I was the creative type, sharing with him my love of writing and design. He was the technical, logical boy who wanted to learn about the beauty of the world.
Our first date involved getting lost on the subway, finding the coffee shop we'd soon lie about, and a party where I lied to my parents through the nose just to keep the night alive. Over the next three weeks, Charlie and I saw each other on weekends, texting often. We mused about summer road trips and adventures throughout the city.
One weekend, Charlie was invited to a birthday celebration at a coworker's apartment, and invited me along. Arms around each other on the walk over, we discussed our story. "Yes, that coffee shop. I told them you were eighteen." (He was somehow okay with the fact that I wasn't.) Eventually, my curfew loomed. I had a train ticket and schedule in hand, but Charlie insisted on driving me home. He had done this once before, romantically whisking me home but leaving just shy of four in the morning, his main concern to avoid upsetting my parents.
He was allowed to sleep over, as long as he stayed in the basement. Slightly drunk from the evening's activities, I dragged my bedroom blanket and pillows to the basement carpet and plugged in my lava lamp. We lay making out for a while on the floor before he started to eat me out, despite the fact that a missed birth-control pill had lead me to bleed earlier than I expected.
Something changed. We had talked about sex before, our conversations surprisingly open and constructive. I felt so strongly about Charlie. Our plan was to wait awhile until things between us were more definite. But in my basement, pink lava lamp illuminating us, I realized that it was okay. Charlie was convinced I had some sort of perfect first-time fantasy in my head, but the truth was that I'd known from maybe the second time we hung out that he would be the one to take it from me.
"Are you sure?" he asked me, and I said yes. I crawled upstairs for the condoms I had received as a gag birthday present when I turned seventeen.
Slow at first, we were both sitting up. He moved slowly inside of me. I had heard other girls complain of sharp pain, but I only felt pressure. It was different, and pleasant. "Different from fingers, right?" he asked. I nodded.
We moved in different positions, trying to find what would be most comfortable for me. Charlie was an absolute gentleman, and read my moans as pain or pleasure almost perfectly. My legs draped over his neck, around him, I tried riding him from the top. Sitting on his lap, we both were close to coming but neither of us did.
I must have lasted at least a half hour before the pressure became uncomfortable. At one point he put his white t-shirt underneath us to avoid bloodying up my sheets. But I told him we had to stop, and he obliged. We lay holding each other, naked, making quiet conversation. He was deeply disappointed that I didn't come, personally offended.
Orgasming had been difficult for me; I'd been unhappy with my body for years. Anxiety had created a mental block, making it near impossible for me to even get myself off. But lying there with Charlie, I felt proud that my body could make him moan the way he did. I reassured him that it wasn't his fault. He understood.
It was five a.m. Charlie insisted I go upstairs to my room to sleep. I made him a bed on the basement couch with one of my pillows and tucked him in. Kissing him goodnight and ascending my stairs, I didn't feel different. No regret flowed through my body. I felt serene and exhausted. Slightly sore, I crawled into bed. The next morning, his car was still there.We're looking for stories about the first time you had sex. Email email@example.com with 500-1000 words.

Awww! i quite like this one. i wish she said how old HE was though. and how long the relationship lasted.
Great story and great job as usual on the illustration Thomas.
So the author was 17 and Charlie was old enough to be an "accomplished programmer"? Sorry, but these sorts of situations never sit well with me. Regardless of how much of a gentleman Charlie was, he was very nearly a statutory rapist, as the age of consent in New York is 17.
I wish this young woman could've had such a positive experience with someone who was closer to her own age, as I don't believe that ALL high-school boys are "shitheads." Certainly, a lot of them are, but not all. And certainly, if she couldn't meet any non-shitheads in her own immediate peer group, she could've extended the search to the Internet and found one there just as easily as she found Charlie.
Moreover, I wish Charlie, a grown man with a career, wouldn't have been as blase as he apparently was about fucking (1) a high-schooler, who was (2) just barely legal, and who, for all he knew, was (3) still lying about her age and was actually younger than the age of consent.
Well, I think it's totally icky. Especially since she didn't say just how far apart they were. I think teenagers should be encourage to play amongst themselves since they're all so new to this and still not quite adults. It's definitely icky when anyone, who is probably a few years out of college, is willing to date a high schooler who probably hasn't experienced that much of life yet.
I think both of you missed the forest for the trees, here. Yes, they were at different ages, nearly straddling legal barriers. But it's quite clear that it was a respectful, satisfying relationship for her, which is more than most girls can say of their appropriately-aged high school boyfriends. It doesn't matter if ALL high school boys are shitheads. She found someone who made her happy. Their respective ages change nothing about that fundamental truth.
Who said he was a grown man with a career? I was an accomplished programmer with my own business well before graduating high school. I'm not necessarily condoning anything, just saying don't be so quick to judge. And I totally agree with 'dude' above.
Excellent point.
Everybody is surprised at their age difference. I am flabbergasted at how her parents were ok with their 17 yr old daughter coming home with a guy in his mid 2os.
You're absolutely right "concerned". American consent laws are perfect in every regard. Every human being in this country isn't ready for sex until the second they turn 17, and us prosecuting kids for sexting and couples who are only a couple years different in age has been a flawless excercise in ruining lives over a victimless crime.
For real though, go away. If you want to get your moralizing rocks off over age differences in sexual relationships, go somewhere else.
Here here! f her parents were okay with it, and the age gap was close enough for them to be seen together in public, and he made her feel so much better about herself and her body, then who cares!?! I thought this was ace :)
Ryan and R, age-of-consent laws exist in order to protect kids/teens from adult exploitation. The line has to be drawn somewhere, and if you think otherwise, then we should end this discussion now.
I've already conceded that no laws were broken in this case. And I'll go on to concede that when it comes to age-of-consent laws, they are as imperfect as most laws. (Though, I would like to point out that in the present case, we're not talking about a 17-year-old sexting a 15-year-old. We're talking about an adult man fucking a 17-year-old high-schooler.)
And yet, regardless of the exceptions (the relatively mature/outgoing/confident teens, and the relatively immature but well-meaning grown-ups), of which there are some, I maintain that, in general, a 17-year-old high-schooler should not be allowed to pursue a romantic/sexual relationship with an adult. Because even if the kid doesn't know any better, the adults (her parents and Charlie) should, if only to prevent this barely legal teen from waking up years from now, and seeing Charlie in the predatory light that he may need to be cast in, and seeing herself as the oblivious, self-deluded, desperate little kid that she may have been.
And anyway, are we really prepared to encourage men like Charlie to seduce and fuck teenage girls who have to turn to the Internet for a self-esteem boost? That sounds exploitative, almost predatory, to me, since a 17-year-old's emotions can (in general) be manipulated more easily than someone who was, say, Charlie's own fucking age.
Moreover, whose to say Charlie wasn't putting on an act just to prey on an insecure kid, whose pants were apparently pretty easy to get into? That he lied to his friends about her age tells me that he knew there was something wrong with the whole situation and with what he was doing.
And that the author didn't think twice about sleeping with a man who "was somehow okay with the fact that [she] wasn't [18]" tells me that since she wasn't mature enough to appreciate the possibility that she may have been being exploited for her age and for her easy-to-get pussy, she had no damn business with grown-ass Charlie.
And yet it's funny that you think you know better than all of the adults involved here (Charlie, her parents) despite knowing next to nothing about her situation or their relationship. If you thought that he was seducing and fucking 17 year olds for a self-esteem boost, or was just exploiting her because she was "easy" (they dated for months before having sex, excuse me, what?) it was entirely a construct of your mind. You imposed an entire persona on him that did not exist in the story. I think you have some personal shit to unpack, and that is the only thing revealed by your angry, paranoid and overreaching rant.
Yes. And furthermore, this part of the site is for sharing personal stories. She didn't post the story for your blind judgment and cruelty. I think she's very generous for sharing such a personal memory.
Fake enough to not be worth getting yer panties twisted!
Ok, the majority of this story aside and all...quick little question. I'm a grown ass woman (30) and I am comfortable with my body, not offended by any word, act, proclivity, fetish, NOTHING...but the phrase "eat me out"? Not only does it sound completely vile to me, but like what 12yr old boys call it before they really know what it is.
Anyone else?
Well you're clearly offended by some words. And some seriously mild ones at that.
I agree.
It's at best unappealing.
What is with the obsession about her cumming? Who comes their first time?
yeah, that whole taking offense at her not having an orgasm thing is what turned me off about the sound of this guy, not the age of consent stuff.
In editing this, I cut a line indicating that he was 20. Don't nobody panic. :)
All due respect, that Charlie was 20 seems too pertinent a piece of information to have cut, given how this story can read without it. I wish I would've known his age at the outset...
Oh well. Bygones. My opinions on age-of-consent stand. Carry on.
I think knowing that he was 20 and she was 17 is an acceptable age difference, he made her happier than lots of high school boys would have. It appeared to be a healthy relationship, one she dose not sound like she regrets or felt like she got used.
Also using the divide by 2 than add 7 rule that is acceptable.
Illustration is wonderful!
There is a big difference between offended and grossed out. Having a guy say "can I eat you out?" is not at all sexy. Either just do it or call it something (anything) that sounds a bit more mature, is all I'm saying.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the statutory rape laws for each state. It's interesting to see how different states regulate this issue, both in the ages they designate as appropriate and the words they use to refer to the people involved. Check out the wording on the law in Massachusetts. Here's the link:
I feel so weird reading about all of these folks who lost their virginity at 17. The stories always have a strange innocence about them. I would love to hear from others who lost their virginity a bit later in life (25-30) so I'd have something to relate to.
Glad I've fnially found something I agree with!
Kudos! What a neat way of thniikng about it.
I agreThis is this the worst age of losing virginity
this story creeped me out. i pictured an overweight, nerdy 17-year-old banging a 30-year-old, skinny, weird, computer programmer.
have you seen david karp, creator of tumblr? in the modern age of technology, some programmers (despite the stereotype) manage to be quite attractive.
How nice if yls (8/9/87) give her first time to me. I, shp will love and take care of her till end of our life...........
Lovely story, thanks for telling.
If she waited another year she can shag this 46 year old programmer.

CLANTON, Ala. (WIAT) – People travel to Clanton, Alabama from all over the state in search of some of the best peaches.
And even on a gloomy, rainy day, people are still packing Durbin Farms Market.
"The ones in the store are just not as good as the ones up here," Billy Donald said.
The Donalds are stocking up after a special trip up to Chilton County from Atmore.
"They are sweet. They are large, and I like to put them in the freezer and I like to make preservatives," Frankie Donald explained. "We just like peaches!"
But this year they have had to wait for the crop to be just right.
"You know, we are running two and a half weeks behind schedule on our varieties because of our cool spring," said Danny Jones. "Now we are into our peak season."
Varieties such as Cary Mac and Harvester are among the best.
While spring began with cool weather, the recent rain and the extra rain from June has made the peaches extra big and juicy.
Jones, the owner of the market, says the rain has caused the crop to swell.
"A lot of water is in the peach, so juice will run down your arms," Jones joked.
He says this year's crop is one of the best, but also adds that once the skies clear, the money will really start to roll in.

Church members pray for pastor after son's suicide
Apr 8th, 2013 - National News
— Members of the Rev. Rick Warren's Southern California church are praying for the popular evangelical pastor, as he and his family cope with the apparent suicide of his 27-year-old son, Matthew.
Tom Holladay, teaching pastor at Saddleback Church, opened weekend worship services by saying the congregation would face the tragedy together, "as a church family." Holladay is Rick Warren's brother-in-law and was Matthew Warren's uncle.
Rick Warren was not in attendance Sunday, the day after the church announced that his son took his own life at his Mission Viejo home. The church said the younger Warren had struggled all his life with mental illness, deep depression and suicidal thoughts.
Rick Warren, the author of the multimillion-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life," said in an email to church staff that he and his wife had enjoyed a fun Friday evening with their son, but Matthew then went home and took his life in a moment of despair.
Rick Warren posted a message on Twitter Sunday saying he was "overwhelmed" by the love and support the family has received.

The Web has succeeded at interoperability and scale in a way that no other technology has before or since. Still, the Web remains far from "state of the art", and it is being increasingly threatened by walled gardens. The Web platform often lags competitors in delivering new system and device capabilities to developers.
Worse, it often hobbles new capabilities behind either high- or low-level APIs, forcing painful choices (and workarounds) on developers. Despite browser versions being released much faster, new capabilities still take a long time to materialize, and often do so in forms that are at best frustrating and at worst nearly useless to large swathes of the developer community for solving real-world needs.Read more...

Much has been written recently in the ongoing debate between native and HTML5 applications. There are three principal ways to develop a mobile solution: native code, hybrid mobile app, mobile Web app. Developing an application in HTML5 is a way to leverage code across multiple platforms, rather than having to write the entire application from scratch for each platform.
As such, much of the user interface, perhaps the entire interface, would be done in HTML. "Hybrid application" is a term often given to applications that are developed largely in HTML5 for the user interface and that rely on native code to access device-specific features that are not readily available to Web applications.Read more...
Whatever you call them — blocks, boxes, areas, regions — we've been dividing our Web pages into visible sections for well over a decade. The problem is, we've never had the right tools to do so. While our interfaces look all the world like grids, the underlying structure has been cobbled together from numbered headings and unsemantic helper elements; an unbridled stream of content at odds with its own box-like appearance.
Because we can make our
<div>s look but not behave like sections, the experience for assistive technology (AT) users and data-mining software is quite different from the experience enjoyed by those gifted with sight.
Care to make a cross-platform mobile game with HTML5? No need to dabble in Java or Objective-C? Bypass the app stores? Sounds like an instant win! A handful of game developers are pushing the envelope of mobile HTML5 games at the moment. Check out the likes of Nutmeg and Lunch Bug for some shining examples.
The great thing about these titles is that they work equally well on both mobile and desktop using the same code. Could HTML5 finally fulfill the holy grail of "write once, run anywhere"? Now, as a Web developer you're used to dealing with the quirks of certain browsers and degrading gracefully and dealing with fragmented platforms. So, a few technical challenges won't put you off, right? What's more, all of these performance and audio problems are temporary.Read more...
The Web has become increasingly interactive over the years. This trend is set to continue with the next generation of applications driven by the real-time Web. Adding real-time functionality to an application can result in a more interactive and engaging user experience.
However, setting up and maintaining the server-side real-time components can be an unwanted distraction. But don't worry, there is a solution.Read more...
Developing for the Web can be a difficult yet rewarding job. Given the number of browsers across the number of platforms, it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. But if we start coding with a little forethought and apply the principles of progressive enhancement from the beginning and apply some responsive practices at the end, we can easily accommodate for less-capable browsers and reward those with modern browsers in both desktop and mobile environments.
Resetting our CSS styles is where we'll start. Browsers have different default styles for the elements we'll be using, so understanding this and getting all of the elements to look the same is important. In this example, since we're using an unordered list, there will be default left padding, top and bottom margins, and a
The Web is just starting to use animation well. For years, animated GIFs and Flash ruled. Text moved and flashed, but it was never seamless. Animations had boxes around them like YouTube videos. HTML5 canvas changes everything about Web animation.
The canvas element makes it possible to integrate drawings and animations with the rest of your page. You can combine them with text and make animations interactive. This drawing mechanism is powerful, but very low-level. Animations get more power and need less coding when you combine the canvas tag with higher-level libraries such as Paper.js. This article introduces HTML5 animation and walks you through creating an animation of dandelion seeds blowing in the wind.Read more...

The story of George Steinbrenner and Ray Negron
NEW YORK (WABC) -- A private burial service is in the works for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, but a public memorial will be held soon.
"The Boss" died at his home Tuesday of a heart attack at age 80.
On his passing, Reggie Jackson, now a special advisor to the Yankees, said quote, "The relationship I shared with The Boss is one that both heartens and comforts me during this difficult time. He meant so much to so many people, and I will always cherish him as a leader, a winner and a friend."
The funeral is expected to be a private service on Saturday in Tampa, which was the adopted hometown of Steinbrenner.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to any of the following charities:

Steinbrenner's impact on baseball went far beyond his New York Yankees.
He showed all teams that spending lavishly on players - when done intelligently - was a way to produce winners, and even some of his rivals adopted that strategy. And he revolutionized the game with his decisions to start a television network and a catering company, and a huge equipment supply contract.
"Regardless of what one's personal opinion is, and obviously he was a close friend, his impact was historical," agent Tom Reich said Wednesday, a day after the colorful and controversial owner died of a heart attack at age 80.
"There are many aspects of the system that wouldn't exist without what he was able to do with the Yankees, not only as a team but as a brand and a business conglomerate. And that changed the financial topography of the game."
Steinbrenner headed a group that bought the Yankees in January 1973 for $8.7 million net and turned it into a large business valued at $1.6 billion by Forbes.
Since his health began to decline after the 2003 season, power shifted to Steinbrenner's children and the team's management.
Hal Steinbrenner, the younger son, became managing general partner in November 2008. Hal runs the business for himself, older brother Hank and sisters Jessica and Jennifer.
Team president Randy Levine oversees the finances of the Yankees, the YES Network and Legends Hospitality. Goldman Sachs has interests in the television and food companies, and the Dallas Cowboys co-own the catering business.
Lonn Trost, the team's chief operating officer, is in charge of the franchise's day-to-day business affairs, and general manager Brian Cashman consolidated authority over baseball personnel decisions when he agreed to a three-year contract in December 2005, a deal followed by another agreement in 2008.
In the second season of $1.5 billion new Yankee Stadium, New York has unrivaled resources. The Yankees won their seventh World Series title under Steinbrenner's ownership last season, their first since 2000. A $206 million opening-day payroll was $43 million higher than that of any other team, and the fruits of that spending shows. The Yankees' 56-32 record at the All-Star break is baseball's best, and they placed a high eight players in the All-Star game.
"The team's not for sale," Levine said Wednesday. "The succession had been planned and implemented. Yankees fans can expect the team to be run as it has been based on the vision of the Boss as carried out by his family."
Hal Steinbrenner was at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla., on Wednesday along with Hank. While at the team's spring training home, they spent time reminiscing about their father.
"The family is doing well," Hank said. "Yesterday was tough. I want to thank everyone for the messages of condolence, especially the fans."
Outside the ballpark, the usual advertisements on the message board were replaced by "George M. Steinbrenner III/We will miss you" and "George M. Steinbrenner III/'The Boss' 1930-2010."
Tributes were planned for Friday and Saturday at Yankee Stadium for Steinbrenner and longtime public address announcer Bob Sheppard, who died Sunday at 99. Many former Yankees will be at the ballpark on Saturday for Old-Timers Day.
"The last two days have been filled with great emotion and personal reflection," Reggie Jackson went on to say in his statement. "I am taking this time to reflect on the enormous and lasting imprint he made within the game of baseball, throughout the Yankees organization, and in my life."
For many, it is hard to image the pinstripes without Steinbrenner overseeing them with his unique mix of demands for excellence and unrestrained bluster.
"He will go down as one of the greatest owners in the history of baseball, and all of sports. No one wanted to win more than Mr. Steinbrenner," former Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams said. "I always knew I had to be at the very top of my game to meet the high expectations he set. He made me a better baseball player - and for that, I will be forever grateful to him."
In Washington, the U.S. Senate unanimously adopted a resolution Tuesday night introduced by members from New York and Florida commemorating Steinbrenner's life and work.
"George Steinbrenner was larger than life, and he was a winner," New York Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand said. "His single-minded drive in the pursuit of excellence brought pride and glory to the Yankees franchise and all of New York City."

Gone are the days of simply mailing your resume, receiving a call, shaking hands at the interview and agreeing on a start date for that new job. The Internet has taken over the recruiting landscape and everyone is required to submit a resume online. While that brings greater efficiency to the process for employers, it can be awfully maddening for job seekers. But it doesn't have to be that way if you know how to navigate the system. -- Tory Johnson
Consider these 12 tips before pressing "submit":
- Search job boards and the websites of employers that appeal to you. Print out the job postings that you're interested in pursuing before you apply.

Democratic Party's State Spokeswoman Has Mastered The Art Of Snark
By DANIELA ALTIMARI and The Hartford Courant
January 4, 2010
In recent weeks, the Democratic Party's main mouthpiece in Connecticut has called one Republican running for U.S. Senate a liar and another a flip-flopping political panderer. Colleen Flanagan — aka, the Attack Husky — is not known for her subtlety. At 27, she is on the front line of what promises to be one of the nastiest, most intense political fights in the nation — and that's just the Senate campaign. Flanagan, whose official title is communications director for state Democrats, also will have a hand deep in the crowded and contentious governor's race, several congressional contests and just about every other key election in Connecticut this year short of dog catcher.
Manchester State Rep. Luxenberg Says He Won't Seek Re-Election
By JESSE LEAVENWORTH, firstname.lastname@example.com and The Hartford Courant
February 28, 2014
MANCHESTER — State Rep. Geoff Luxenberg announced Friday that he will not seek re-election, and Democratic Town Chairman Mike Pohl said he may try to win the seat. "My wife, Kelly, and I are expecting our first child, a daughter, in the next few weeks," Luxenberg said. "Our new responsibilities as first-time, working parents will be both fun and challenging, and my top priority will be to make the time to be a good husband and father. " Luxenberg, who grew up in West Hartford, is in his second term representing the district, which is wholly within Manchester.

Panel Warns About Fundraising From Contractors
BY JON LENDER, email@example.com and The Hartford Courant
February 12, 2014
HARTFORD -- The State Elections Enforcement Commission has issued a legal opinion raising concerns about the state Democratic Party's heavy use of its federally regulated campaign account to collect money from executives of firms with state contracts – who are banned by state law from contributing to Connecticut candidates and party committees. "Of most concern is the fact that much of the reported fundraising has involved Connecticut state contractors, who are prohibited from making contributions to party committees registered with the SEEC," said the advisory opinion approved at a meeting Tuesday.
Perry Seeks Democratic Party Post

Although she has yet to make the formal announcement, Hartford Mayor Carrie Saxon Perry confirmed Wednesday that she will seek Connecticut's open seat on the Democratic National Committee. Perry said she made her decision to seek the seat being vacated by Hartford lawyer Peter G. Kelly after hearing a persuasive argument from fellow party members -- they told her that she would be the first black party member to serve Connecticut on the committee. "This is a presidential year, and we should be sending out signals that the Democratic Party is an inclusive party," Perry said.
Democrats Partied With The `Enemy'

As they prepare for November elections, town Democrats say they're united, energized and determined to win. So why did party officials contribute to the campaigns of their Republican opponents? In May, both Joe Klett, chairman of the town Democratic Party, and Thomas McBride, the party's candidate for mayor, donated $40 each to the Republican town committee, recent campaign finance reports show. Ken Lesser, a Democratic candidate for council, also chipped in $40 to the Republican cause.

MANCHESTER — Citing "philosophical differences" with Democratic party leadership, school board Secretary Neal Leon said Monday that he will not seek the nomination to continue in that position and will leave the party. The board is scheduled to meet Monday at 7 p.m. in Lincoln Center. Leon, who is serving a 2012-15 term, said he would be "switching to an Independent in the near future. " His dissatisfaction is not with school board Chairman Chris Pattacini or any other board member, Leon wrote in an email.

Sullivan Will Retire After 24 Years In Democratic Party
By KYM SOPER; Correspondent
July 11, 1996
After being an influential political force in the state Democratic Party for the past 24 years, Manchester resident John J. Sullivan will be calling it quits later this month. He will be replaced by John R. Quinn of Bolton. Sullivan, who recently celebrated his 81st birthday, says that he will not leave the political scene entirely, though. "I'm really not going to retire because I can't forget these people who have helped me, and if I can, I'm going to help them," said Sullivan.
Jepsen Elected State Democratic Party Leader
By ELIZABETH HAMILTON; Courant Political Writer
December 12, 2002
George C. Jepsen had a PR problem when it got out that his family was quietly planning a move to Florida at the same time he was running on the gubernatorial ticket and, later, vying to be state Democratic Party chairman. Jepsen, 48, lost his bid to be lieutenant governor last month, but his efforts to reassure skittish supporters within his own party paid off Wednesday night when he was elected chairman by the 72-member Democratic State Central Committee. As rain fell outside, Democrats from around the state packed into party headquarters on Franklin Avenue in Hartford and anointed the departing majority leader of the state Senate as their new leader.
Foley: Malloy Letting Contractors 'Buy Influence'
BY JON LENDER, firstname.lastname@example.com and The Hartford Courant
February 3, 2014
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley said Monday that Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is letting contractors and others "buy influence with him" through his fundraising in behalf of the state Democratic Party. Foley was responding to weekend news reports in The Courant and the Connecticut Mirror about hefty contributions by to the state Democratic Party's federally-regulated account by executives with companies that do business with the state. Malloy has assisted in fundraising for the account - which can be tapped to help him and other state candidates in the November election, even though it's intended primarily for expenses associated with federal candidacies such as those for Congress.
Who Is For The People?
Letter to the editor
January 24, 2014
Regarding George Will's column, "Caregivers Have A Right to Reject Union" [Jan. 20], I think he is misguiding readers by saying the Republican Party is the people's party, and the Democratic Party is a party of government, not the people. If government employees are a significant component of financially supporting the Democratic Party, is it a better significant component than the other party's backers, who spend billions to stop the projects and plans of a democratically elected government?
Democratic Contribution Raised Specter Of Pay-To-Play
Editorial and The Hartford Courant
December 12, 2013
Asked about his party's aggressive fund-raising tactics in recent months, Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the standard to apply is "whether we're compliant with the law, and we'll hold ourselves to that standard. " But a $10,000 contribution in October to the Democrats' state account by Edward Snider, CEO of Comcast-Spectacor, might not meet Mr. Malloy's standard. The state Democratic Party has decided to return the money after Republicans questioned its legality. A little research and common sense might have avoided this embarrassment.
NU Chief Asks Subordinates To Support Malloy By Giving To Democratic Party
BY JON LENDER, firstname.lastname@example.com and The Hartford Courant
December 3, 2013
Saying Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has "battled through issues of historic proportions" in his first term, including the Newtown school massacre and destructive storms, the top executive for Northeast Utilities has asked about 50 of his managers throughout New England to give money to help re-elect Malloy next year. The emailed request – sent on Sept. 17 by NU's CEO and board chairman, Thomas J. May – drew a quick response: $46,500 in contributions have been made since then by more than 20 NU executives in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to the Connecticut Democratic Party, campaign finance reports show.

Democrats Question Vote After Republican Wins Board Of Ed Chair In Wethersfield
By CHRISTOPHER HOFFMAN, Special to The Courant and The Hartford Courant
November 14, 2013
Wethersfield - A member of the school board's Democratic majority went against the party vote Tuesday evening, enabling minority Republicans to elect one of their own as chairman. At the new board's organizational meeting, Elaine Steinmiller-Paradise abandoned her party to back Republican Gina DeAngelo for chairman. Her vote was decisive in DeAngelo's 5-4 victory over Democrat Matthew Forrest. The board's four GOP members then chose Steinmiller-Paradise for vice chairwoman. She voted for herself, providing the margin of victory over fellow Democrat Polly Moon 5-4. Steinmiller-Paradise, who remains a Democrat, declined comment Thursday.
Working Families Party Gaining Momentum
By DANIELA ALTIMARI, firstname.lastname@example.com and The Hartford Courant
November 1, 2013
For the Working Families Party, a minor political party with big ambitions, Tuesday's elections mark a significant turning point. A coalition of labor activists and other liberal groups, the Working Families Party is poised to notch a historic gain in New York City, with one of its co-founders, Democrat Bill de Blasio, holding a commanding lead in the mayor's race. But a local election in Connecticut's largest city may prove to be an even bigger test for the party. The Working Families Party is backing three candidates for the board of education in Bridgeport in a quest to loosen the grip of the "Democratic machine" on the city's schools.
Malloy's California Fundraising Trip: Talking To Democrat Activists, Including 2 State Contractor Execs
Jon Lender and Government Watch
October 26, 2013
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the state Democratic Party have said as little as possible about Malloy's weekend fundraising trip to California Oct. 18-20, despite demands by the Senate Republican leader for details after a politician's tweet suggested the governor met with a state contractor out there. But Government Watch has pieced together a rough picture of what went on as Malloy panned for California gold for Connecticut Democrats and the Democratic Governors Association - a national group that can make independent campaign expenditures in all states to help Democrats.

It's now been eight days since Sunderland parted company with controversial Italian manager Paolo Di Canio.
One point from their first six games has left them rooted to the bottom of the table, and the boardroom want to appoint a new manager as soon as possible.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, (who broke the Di Canio sacking first), ex-Brighton manager Gus Poyet could be appointed as soon as tomorrow.
The Uruguyan ex-Chelsea star worked wonders last season, taking Brighton to the play-offs before leaving the club under a cloud.
Di Marzio claims Poyet is the most likely candidate for the job and he could be in the hot seat within the next 24 hours.

Today marks the eighth anniversary of the U.S. sending troops to Afghanistan. To help mark the occasion we get the personal stories of three veterans of that war: Joe Sturm, Marco Reininger and Genevieve Chase.
On Oct. 7, 2001, President George W. Bush announced that the U.S. military would be making strikes against al-Qaida targets and Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan. By November 2001, the U.S.-backed military alliance had taken Kabul. By December 7, the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar had fallen. Eight years later we are still there. There are currently 68,000 troops in Afghanistan, and 869 American lives have been lost since the beginning.
Thank you so much for doing this segment. I really appreciated hearing the soldiers stories

NFL: Fox claims Miller issues being addressed
Denver Broncos head coach John Fox insists the team are giving Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller all the help he needs to get his personal life and career back on track.
Since being drafted by the Broncos with the second pick in the 2011 NFL draft, Miller immediately established himself as one of the premier outside linebackers in the league, earning AP Defensive Rookie of the Year honours and consecutive Pro Bowl appearances in 2012 and 2013.
Despite his success on the field, several transgressions off the field have threatened to derail the 24-year-old's promising career.
Miller is currently one game into a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. On Wednesday, Broncos officials were informed that Miller was cited last week for driving without a license and speeding, and also that he had an open warrant in California for failing to appear in court over an unpaid speeding ticket received last year.
Coach Fox discussed Miller's latest violations after practice on Wednesday: "Obviously we're not happy about. Everybody here has an individual responsibility, not only to themselves, but to this organization, to this football team, so it's something we're not pleased about. We'll leave it at that.''
Miller was also arrested in August of this year on another failure-to-appear warrant following a mandatory background check at a gun shop in Denver. The warrant was issued after the player failed to appear for a court date stemming from multiple citations of careless driving, driving without a license and not having proof of insurance.
At the time of his arrest, Miller was preparing to attend an appeal hearing over his current substance-abuse related suspension.

AKA Isle of Forgotten Sins.

She persuades them to let her in on the deal.
Complications ensue because of intrigue, double-crosses and an approaching violent monsoon.

Subject: Sorrowful waste of talent, sister
First review pretty much captured the absurdity of this mess. It is difficult, however, to imagine that Ulmer was constrained by the screenplay when Ulmer is credited with the original story. As director and creator, it seems unlikely that the screenplay would be completely out of his control. And it is a real stinker: when the tough-punching pirate hears that the gold has been found, his response is "Whoopee!". And wait till you hear the tribal chief's mumbo-jumbo!
Speaking of mumbo-jumbo, I had problems hearing the dialog. At first, I did a lot of rewinding, but soon found that the lines weren't even worth hearing.
To this waste of Carradine's and Toler's talent as character actors, I hereby bequeath 2 stars. Plus an extra star for the coded boy-boy action amongst the opposing pair of sailor-boys, which reaches its peak when Toler calls his dapper young mate "sister"!
sylpolo -
Subject: Monsoon
The previous review is quite accurate. I gave it 4 stars because there are so few movies from this era. Amazing how closely the father Carradine and son resemble each other. I recoginized him right away, even though he was not facing the camera. No, Sydney should never appear in a swimsuit, but it was interesting to see him pre Charlie Chan. For curiosity, watch.
picfixer -
Subject: Gadzooks, what a mess!
Yikes! Mosquito-weight John Carradine astonishingly miscast as a brawling bruiser of a romantic hero. To make matters worse he's costumed in tight polo shirts which make him look even skinnier. Carradine was a great actor, but you can't fight physics. Another masterstroke of miscasting has a constantly smiling Gale Sondergaard as Carradine's love interest. She was one of Hollywood's great villainesses who is noticeably out place here.
…But wait! there's more! Sidney Toler shows up as a jovial villain who goes cave diving with a bevy of brothel cuties. Sidney Toler in a bathing suit is a sight best left unseen! (double yikes!) Rick Vallin is a villainous sailor who performs classical piano pieces. (½ yike) So much for the interesting cast members.
You really don't want to know about the plot, but it does have some interesting features like the aforementioned cuties calmly sitting around discussing the state of things. …Oh, did I forget to mention they're in a flimsy shack in the midst of a raging typhoon!
A ubiquitous background score plays prominently and constantly behind almost every scene, and it often is bizarrely inappropriate for the onscreen action. For example, in the midst of an almost-suspenseful diving scene, the instrumental background suddenly breaks into a male chorus loudly singing a sea shanty. The effect was so startling I almost fell off the sofa laughing. (triple yikes!)
Director Edgar Ulmer is a mystery. He was the director of "Bluebeard" (1944), the acclaimed "Ruthless" (1948) and the highly acclaimed "Detour" (1945). So what the hell happened? Was he impossibly constrained by the strange screenplay and screwy characterizations? Was Ulmer so tightly budgeted he was forced to shoot every scene with as few takes as possible? There are very few closeups, and all the speaking characters in scenes appear together in single, static shots which sometimes have poor camera angles. Go figure.
Surprisingly the production values are mostly okay, and this includes some of the FX.
The print has marginal video quality, but good audio.
This review has gone on for much too long, and it's time to bite the bullet. Though I'll probably hate myself in the morning, this whacky adventure gets three stars for being so bad it's good. No angry emails please. BTW, don't blame PRC for this one. They were only the distributor.
FOOTNOTES: The erroneous title "Monsoon" is the re-release title. The original was "Isle of Forgotten Sins."
Eight minutes are missing from this print. The original version no longer exists, which could be a blessing.
There is no way to prove it, however I suspect some of the typhoon FX were outtakes from John Ford's mega hit "Hurricane" (1937)
"Bluebeard" and "Detour" are available here at IA.

"It's without question a huge game for us and a huge game for LSU," Richt said. "We have an awful lot of respect for LSU, even more respect after watching them on TV last Saturday night. They look as good as ever."
Georgia's assistant coaches answered questions from the media following the practice. Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham discussed the challenge of defending LSU's balanced attack.
"They do a good job in both the run and the pass," Grantham said. "They have some backs that can get downhill. They set up the play action pass off the run game, and when you can do both equally well it makes it difficult."
Saturday's game features the third and fourth-ranked scoring offenses in the SEC. LSU averages 43.2 points per game, while Georgia averages 40.3 points per game.
This will be the 30th all-time meeting between Georgia and LSU, with the Tigers holding a 16-12-1 edge. The Tigers have won the last two meetings, including the 2011 SEC Championship Game and a matchup in Athens in 2009. However, Georgia won three consecutive games prior to the 2009 game
Saturday's game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. and will be televised by CBS. Also, ESPN College GameDay will broadcast from Athens starting at 9 a.m.

A recipient of the National Book Award and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, Joyce Carol Oates has published more than 100 books of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama over the past 50 years. This achievement has led a few critics (perhaps the more envious ones) to dismiss her as "a word machine." But even for an author who's as prolific and accomplished as Oates, writing does not always come easily.
In a National Book Award interview a decade ago, Oates said that she often has to force herself to write:
Each day is like an enormous rock that I'm trying to push up this hill. I get it up a fair distance, it rolls back a little bit, and I keep pushing it, hoping I'll get it to the top of the hill and that it will go on its own momentum.Still, she said, "I've never given up. I've always kept going. I don't feel that I could afford to give up."
Though writing may sometimes be laborious for Oates, she's not complaining. "I am not conscious of working especially hard, or of 'working' at all," she said in a New York Times interview. "Writing and teaching have always been, for me, so richly rewarding that I don't think of them as work in the usual sense of the word."
Now our own ambitions may not include writing novels and short stories in the manner of Joyce Carol Oates. All the same, we might learn a thing or two from her experience.
Any sort of writing project may be a challenge, even a great challenge, but it doesn't have to be approached as a chore. After pushing the rock for awhile, the process might actually turn out to be enjoyable and rewarding. Instead of draining our energy, a writing assignment just might help to restore it:
I have forced myself to begin writing when I've been utterly exhausted, when I've felt my soul as thin as a playing card, when nothing has seemed worth enduring for another five minutes . . . and somehow the activity of writing changes everything. Or appears to do so.
("Joyce Carol Oates" in George Plimpton, ed., Women Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews, 1989)
A simple message, but on tough days worth remembering: don't give up.

Landmark pub in Oxenhope to reopen following 'extensive' refurb
6:00am Thursday 19th December 2013 in News
A landmark Oxenhope pub is due to re-open this afternoon.
The Bay Horse in Upper Town went on the market for £295,000 last summer, and was bought by a West Yorkshire-based chain called EM Inns.
Earlier this week the company's boss, Matthew Evans, confirmed he had appointed a new pair of licensees – Jimmy and Karen Mawdsley – from Keighley, who will hopefully reopen the premises today in good time for Christmas.
"It's a lovely village pub, and it's the sort of place that should be a pleasure to run," he said.
Mr Evans added a lot of internal work is required to ensure the premises can open for business at 4pm today.
EM Inns was set up about six years ago, and has five other pubs across the north-west. The Bay Horse will be its first in Yorkshire.

Thermometer Gauge
Gauges are a very nice and user-friendly way to visualize values. But somehow everyone is scared to build an own gauge from the scratch. After thinking a little bit about what is needed to create a basic gauge, it seemed to me that making my own gauge is not as hard as everyone thinks. In reality you will figure out, that it is a real simple process. We want to make a thermometer gauge, so let us at first think about what is behind it and what we need.Read more
