Jim Schwartz Says Lions Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan Has 'Done A Great Job'
The Detroit Lions (4-11) are expected to make several changes this offseason after facing the Chicago Bears (9-6) in Sunday's regular season finale.
Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan's job appears safe. The Lions have been plagued by slow starts and inconsistent offensive play this season, but coach Jim Schwartz blames turnovers and injuries, not Linehan, for Detroit's struggles to score regularly this season. "I think he's done a great job," Schwartz said. "Again, particularly the ball security stuff (has been a problem). An offensive coordinator's job is to put guys in position to make plays. I think that over the course of the season, we've been in a good position to make plays. The fact that we've still been able to continue to get the ball to Calvin (Johnson). "It's one thing when all those other guys were healthy, and you have a lot of other options. A lot of times people will say, 'Hey, you forget about Calvin a little bit when you have all those options.' Well, we really haven't. Defenses have known that, too, and they've taken an approach of trying to take him out of the game plan, but Scott's done a good job of creating ways to still get him the football. Matt (Stafford has) done a good job of delivering the football." Detroit's overall offense is currently ranked second in the NFL; the passing game is ranked first; Detroit is ranked second in total first downs (No.1 in passing first downs) and seventh in third-down efficiency. Schwartz's endorsement might be good news for Linehan, but the coordinator was not worried when about his job security when asked after today's practice. "Coaching is not a stable profession," Linehan said. "If you're worried about saving your job instead of doing your job, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. I think the biggest thing is getting ready to finish this season strong and focus on what we got to do to flip the script next year." Source: MLive.com

MIDVALE — Three football players were granted hardship waivers by a hearing panel for the Utah High School Activities Association on Friday afternoon.
Sesi and Sima Salt were allowed to transfer from Brighton to East, which is their home boundary school, because the panel found that the boys would never have left their home school were it not for undue influence. The family asked for a waiver because they said finding a ride to Brighton had become an unbearable burden. The boys transferred back to East nine months ago.
"(The panel) determined that but for the undue influence of an (assistant) coach at Brighton, (the players) would have been at East High," said UHSAA attorney Mark Van Wagoner. "The hardship was that, based on the evidence presented, they found themselves in that position based on the undue influence."
Sesi Salt, a senior lineman, said he wouldn't have transferred to Brighton after playing football at East as a freshman were it not for the influence of Sione Mahe, who was at the time an assistant at Brighton. He no longer coaches for the Bengals.
Part of the sway he held over the boys, officials offered, was that he was their East High little league coach.
East High principal Dr. Paul Sagers said he didn't feel the pressure to attend Brighton was malicious, but it was against the rules.
"It's an unfortunate situation," Sagers said. "I think his heart was in the right place, and he was affectionate for the Brighton program."
It was not, however, a good fit for the boys, according to their mother. Sima Salt, who is a sophomore this year, said he never wanted to attend Brighton, but his parents made him go with his older brother. The boys said they received rides from Mahe and or his relatives.
Brighton's principal said she was aware the boys received rides to Brighton with an assistant coach, who was part of a carpool with other families in the Glendale area.
Brighton principal Charisse Hilton said that she felt the fact that Mahe coached Little League football in Glendale and was an assistant at Brighton was problematic and could be perceived as a conflict of interest.
"I understand exactly what he's talking about," she said referring to East coach Brandon Matich's assertion that it was problematic. "We've felt it too. I understand exactly."
She said that she felt the Salt boys had a quality experience at Brighton, and that they'd been offered great opportunities academically and athletically.
She said it was unfortunate that coach Mahe was not at Friday's hearing to speak for himself regarding the assertion that he persuaded the boys to attend Brighton.
In a second hearing, a senior football player was allowed to play after his former school protested his eligibility because he'd been suspended for violating school and UHSAA rules.
The boy's former school protested because they didn't want students who got in trouble to think they could avoid punishment simply by transferring schools. Part of the boy's punishment at the first school was being barred from all athletic opportunities.
The panel granted him eligibility because they felt the school that initiated the punishment did not offer the teen due process in handing down the punishment.
"We certainly will support and enforce school disciplinary action unless we determine, as we did here, that the action was taken without reasonable due process," Van Wagoner said. "That and the standard of discipline was inherently inconsistent and not applied to their own code."

As the constantly growing, 25-year-old collection enters its second decade in its specially-designed building, Library Director Virginia Bowden sees an exciting but challenging future.
"We are striving to maintain a collection that includes rare and valuable volumes from the past as well as the electronic resources of the future," she said. A recent issue of the library's newsletter noted, "The computer revolution has redefined scholarly publishing and is transforming the library from a warehouse of printed materials to a gateway for gaining electronic access to information.
"More and more people are using the library electronically from their home or office computers," Bowden said. She said that the number of walk-in users is dwindling slightly as electronic users increase. "We estimate that the library now has about 10,000 walk-in users each week. About one in eight is a non-Health Science Center user," she said.
Despite escalating costs for journal subscriptions and computer technology the Briscoe library has thus far maintained the caliber of collection needed to support the 7,000-plus faculty and students in seven different health-related schools as well as a larger constiuency of users from throughout South Texas.
The library ranks 19th in user visits among the 146 health science libraries in the United States and Canada. Some health professionals in the Rio Grande Valley are assisted by a circuit librarian who travels the area regularly.
The building was dedicated in the Briscoe name on Nov. 14, 1985. Briscoe, and his wife, Janey, a former University of Texas regent, attended the dedication ceremony and remain in touch with the Health Science Center and the entire medical center, assisting with Bexar County Hospital District fundraisers and other activities.
The original collection, assembled in the 1960s with donations from the Bexar County Medical Society and other sources, was built under the leadership of David Kronick, PhD. Dr. Kronick retired in 1984, but conducts library research on campus.
The award-winning library building, designed by the San Antonio architectural firm formerly known as Chumney, Jones and Kell Inc., is still serving the collection well. The fourth floor, where journals from A to Z are shelved, is nearing capacity, and plans call for placing some of the journals on the second floor in 1994.
The collection includes about 2,700 journal subscriptions and about 200,000 books. The P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library houses a major collection of 5,000 early manuscripts, including an original Vesalius folio containing his famous anatomical drawings printed in Switzerland in 1543. Groups including the Friends of the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library and the Health Science Center Library Committee host special events and act as advocates for the collection.
Electronic resources such as the Biomedical Library Information System and PlusNet, which offers access to current medical journals published after 1966, give users instant access to a world of information. "We are able to do things now that I would have thought impossible even five years ago," Bowden said.
Just as hard copies of books and journals cost money, so does accessing national databases by computer. "We are seeking ways to support our subscription to these services by contracting with frequent users, such as hospitals or other institutions," Bowden said.
The world of information transmittal is changing rapidly. In the near future, you may receive your monthly copy of a professional journal on your computer rather than through the mail. Already, some health- related journal subscriptions are mailed with accompanying disks to be loaded into a personal computer for display of molecular or other highly technical visuals. An experiment at the University of California at San Francisco is already delivering radiology and molecular biology journals to users electronically.
"If you haven't used the library recently, don't let the changing technology intimidate you," Bowden said. "Accessing information is getting easier, once you know the system. Our staff is eager to show you what's possible and what's available."
The library is open 103 hours a week including weekends and many holidays. For information about using the collection, or if you would like directions for accessing the collection via computer modem, call the library's information desk at (210) 567-2450.

Veteran Charles Oppido has a busted knee, missing teeth and neurological issues that he says can all be traced back to his years as a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Once homeless but now living in Riverside, Oppido said he's waited close to 18 months for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to issue a ruling on his service-related disability claim. He's one of the 250,000 backlogged veterans who the VA hopes will get answers soon under a new expedited-claims initiative launched last week.
Under the program, officials at the agency's regional offices will issue new provisional decisions on cases that have been in the system for a year or longer based on information and records already collected. Those veterans then will be given another full year to appeal the provisional decision with additional information before it becomes final.
VA Secretary Eric Shineski said the move was intended to get the longest-waiting veterans their benefits while the department continues to implement reforms and electronic records systems designed to speed its claims processing and eliminate the backlog of some 570,000 cases by 2015.
Claims are considered part of the VA's backlog if still unresolved after 125 days. The VA is averaging about 286 days to complete a claim.
"Too many veterans wait too long for a decision, and this has never been acceptable," Shineski said last week in a statement announcing the new expedited-claims process. "That is why we are implementing an aggressive plan to eliminate the backlog by 2015. This initiative is the right thing to do now for veterans who have waited the longest."
The VA was unable to specify how many of the 250,000 claims cases it will expedite involve Burlington County, but Walt Tafe, director of the Burlington County Department of Military and Veterans Services, estimated that close to half the veterans the department is assisting could qualify for a provisional decision.
"I couldn't tell you how many, but we have hundreds," Tafe said, adding that he's seen some major improvements in the VA's processing recently.
The long wait faced by many veterans has become a sore point with numerous veterans' groups and members of Congress, among them Rep. Jon Runyan, R-3rd of Mount Laurel.
A member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Runyan helped pen a measure signed into law last year to create a four-year pilot program at VA regional offices to test the skills and proficiency of employees and managers who process claims and benefits as well as streamline the claims appeals process.
Runyan also was part of a group of 24 members on the Veterans Affairs Committee that sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel this month urging the department to follow through on its plan to immediately begin transferring service records to the VA and to upgrade its records systems to make such transfers electronic by the end of the year.
"This agreement has been represented by VA as a 'game-changer' in enabling and improving its disability benefits claims system," the lawmakers wrote in the April 12 letter. "Ultimately, this will allow VA to issue compensation to disabled veterans faster."
In a statement this week, Runyan said that the VA's new initiative to expedite its oldest claims was an "important step," but that it was vital that the agency not delay other claims processing.
"The veterans backlog is arguably the most significant challenge facing the Veterans Administration today, and the size and scope of the backlog will only increase as those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan are eligible for their benefits," Runyan said.
Rep. Rob Andrews, D-1st of Haddon Heights, also was cautiously optimistic. He said his constituent services offices are assisting several veterans with cases stuck in the logjam.
"It's a good start, if they follow through with it," Andrews said. "We have constituent cases on our desk that qualify, and we're going to hold the VA's feet to the fire to make sure they're handled expeditiously and appropriately."
He said he wanted to see more changes that award benefits to obviously disabled veterans right away while their cases are reviewed. Doing so, he said, would put the burden on the VA to review the claim quickly.
"Right now, the person who is losing out now is the applicant, and they face all the burden," Andrews said. "I want to shift the burden from the applicant onto the VA in a reasonable way."
Paul Tuliano Sr., a Pemberton Township resident who served in the U.S. Army Air Corps and Air Force during World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War, said he believes the VA needs to designate an entire regional office to the sole task of processing the backlog.
"They did that seven or eight years ago, and it produced results," said Tuliano, a longtime veterans advocate. "It's a real problem because of the financial hardship a lot of veterans face. A lot of them can't work."

text: This somewhat superficial historical drama is about the 1525 Peasants' War in Germany when the lower classes rebelled against oppressive conditions imposed by the clergy and nobility and then committed many acts (including atrocities) that did not morally set them far apart from the people they were fighting. It was a time of upheaval: Martin Luther (1483-1556) had broken away from the Catholic Church, calling for reform, and Anabaptists in Germany, like Thomas Munzer fought on the side of the peasants (opposed by Luther). This complex age and its political and religious turmoil are summed up in a story about an attack on a small monastery whose monks used a forged document to confiscate some land from the peasants. When their wrong-doing is revealed by the monk who forged the document in the first place, the peasants attack. While the peasants wait for the heralded arrival of their warrior-savior on a white horse to bring justice to their cause, their fortunes go from bad to worse as the nobility gear up for revenge. This epic story might have been better served if director Christian Ziewer's budget had not been cut, forcing economic measures that have an effect on both depth and continuity. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Of course I want to hear a GM's thoughts, Andy, but you're going to get a hell of a lot more out of the experience if you've already spent some time digging into your game.
Yeah sure...I just thought the "active vs passive" thing seemed a bit glib.
I'd say start your analysis at move 22. At that point, you know exactly what direction the game is heading: all the play will happen on the kingside, and you have more space. The point of space is to let you maneuver your pieces to better squares--you can build up one threat quickly, your opponent protects it, and you can reposition faster/better than he can because you have more space to do so. You have more good squares to use. Space in this context is a pretty long-term advantage...take your time to put your pieces where you need them, and open lines advantageously.
Get your rooks both on the g or h (probably g) files before you open things up if possible (I realize that was challenging with your c8 bishop this game). Move 27 should have been 27...Bxh3, not Nxh3, to let your rook out if nothing else. It also may have allowed Bg2 to go after f3, or the h1 rook. Later on, you had a pawn to target on the f-file that you didn't go after as much as you could have as well. Find squares that your pieces will excel on and find a way to get them there. Identify which pieces will help you to trade off, and try to trade them.
You made a lot of moves around the g4 area, particularly with your queen, that at least on first inspection, didn't advance any particular plan or address any particular weakness.
Just some thoughts for you. =)
Hi Vivinski. I looked at your game and my comments follow. On move 21 c6 you decided to close the game on King side. At this point you have two bad bishops and the better piece for closed games, the Knight, can not make it to the nice home on f5. So I wonder why did you close the game if that gives you no edge? In case your answer is "well I had to do something, it was my turn to move" then I recommend you read Reasses your Chess by Silman (3rd edition). In case you thought closing the game was a good or decent move I wonder why. I appreciate you posted your game and like everyone else says, indeed we learn more when we lose than when we win, although winning feels a lot better. Cheers.
Hej like the lake, I appreciate you commenting on my game, but I obviously wasn't playing white here, since white won by checkmate and the thread is called... "why do I lose these games".Also, above the game it says I'm playing blackSo yeah, wish there were some books I can recommend you but I can't think of any
Hey Vivinski. My comment to you was from black's perspective, I know you are playing black, it says on the board. Your reply to 21 c6 was b6 and you decided to close the game with two bad bishops and a knight that can make it to f5... My apologies for the confussion in the writing. You may wanna read the original again. Cheers.
Ok then, but I don't think b6 was a bad move, it denies white any play on the queenside while I can try something on the king side
Yes Vivinski. You are right. However you just said "while I try something on the King side". The plan of 21..b6 was do to something. The plan of 21 ...bxc is to activate your bishops and post you knight in f5 where it can do more damage. The later, as a plan, is a lot better than "something". Maybe? Cheers.
Taking the c pawn would potentionally open up the entire queenside if white decides to sac a pawn.

Charting a way ahead
University officials, students evaluate and plan as annual U.S. News and World Report rankings released Tuesday
MSU maintained a top-100 ranking this year from U.S. News and World Report — ranking No. 73 out of 281 national universities, a ranking officials say can be used as a benchmark for potential academic progress.
The university also garnered high rankings for its undergraduate business and engineering programs, ranking No. 27 and No. 43, respectively. Capturing MSU's only No. 1 spot for the third year in a row was the supply chain management program within the Eli Broad College of Business.
The overall ranking, No. 73, is down one spot from this past year and two from the year before. It is the third year that MSU has tied with the University of Iowa.
Among 173 public national universities, MSU ranks No. 29. The ranking puts MSU behind nine Big 10 universities, including the soon-to-be-added University of Maryland and Rutgers.
Other institutional challenges within MSU and at a state level could present challenges, officials have noted in the past, including funding for higher education.
"At some level, all of the institutions keep an eye on (rankings) as a way to benchmark," Acting Provost June Youatt said. "It's interesting to see the shift, not what the discrete number is."
The method
U.S. News uses about 16 variables, all weighted differently, to compile the overall university rankings, but undergraduate programs are ranked only by peer survey.
The most highly weighted variables are peer assessment and graduate retention rate. Other variables include class size, faculty-to-student ratio, faculty resources, selectivity and alumni giving.
"All of the institutions would explain that they're not sure that the metrics are the same as what we would use to talk about our quality," Youatt said.
MSU is ranked higher in rankings from Washington Monthly than U.S. News, and that's because of what is measured. In the Washington Monthly's ranking, the university ranked No. 30 this year, up four places from 2012. The ranking measures social mobility, service and research.
"I would stress that (U.S. News) is only one ranking," said Kyle Sweitzer, data resource analyst for the MSU Office of Planning and Budgets. "There are many out there. I think it's fair to say that any ranking only measures certain things, and they're each only as good as their methodology."
It has been many years since a public university has cracked the top 10 of the U.S. News rankings, he added. The rankings are very stable because of the weight on peer evaluation.
"(Massachusetts Institution of Technology) is always going to be good, Harvard (University) is always going to be good. But it's hard for other schools to move up," Sweitzer said.
The undergraduate program rankings rely purely on peer assessment, and MSU's deans of engineering and business see good and bad in that.
"They can be manipulated by spending money on marketing and letting people know what you're doing," said Stefanie Lenway, dean of the Eli Broad College of Business. "I won't say they're not meaningful — being in the top 50 is good, but there are good schools that aren't there."
Leo Kempel, the acting dean of the College of Engineering, said he thinks the peer assessment is a good way to measure undergraduate business and engineering because peers have a good idea of what's going on.
"There's often things we know about ourselves that others don't," he said. "But, at the same time, you look at your own program very critically on how you can do better."
Business programs
The business college's undergraduate program dropped three spots in this year's U.S. News rankings, but officials said it's not a worrisome change.
"It's really no difference," Lenway said. "It's pretty good. We always want to get better."
The business college rank of No. 27 is behind eight Big 10 universities. But Lenway said a major impediment to MSU's program is that there are 5,000 undergraduate students — possibly the biggest one in the Big 10.
Innovations are about to happen in the college, which she believes could boost rankings in the future.
"We have to stick to our mission," Lenway said. "We give students the best experience we can, and I'm not sure it's completely measured by the rankings."
One ranking that she didn't dispute was the No. 1 spot awarded to supply chain management.
"It's tremendous to be No. 1 in supply chain management again, for the third year in a row," Lenway said. "We're very proud of the achievement. It reflects the efforts of faculty to innovate their teaching."
The engineering ranking is a source of pride for the school, officials said, but one student was disappointed by the outcome.
Engineering ranked No. 43, tying with Yale University, Rutgers, the University of Notre Dame, Washington University in St. Louis and Arizona State University.
"I'm very happy with who we're tied with, these are great institutions," Kempel said. "Certainly when a peer institution thinks highly of your program, that's a good thing — that's something that's an indication of quality."
But the ranking was a surprise for mechanical engineering senior Zach Averill. He said he thought the rank should be higher based on his experience in the college.
"MSU's program ensures you have the skills to do well in interviews, presentations and marketing," he said. "It gives you the opportunity to grow beyond technical aspects. There's a great plethora of skills that they provide."
Take a look at our interactive breakdown of the rankings:

Earliest extant Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures from the original Hebrew, presumably made for the use of the Jewish community in Egypt when Greek was the lingua franca. The Pentateuch was translated near the middle of the 3rd century BC; the rest of the Hebrew scriptures were translated in the 2nd century BC. The name Septuagint was derived from a legend that 72 translators worked on the project. Its influence was far-reaching. The Septuagint rather than the original Hebrew Bible was the main basis for the Old Latin, Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, Georgian, Slavonic, and some Arabic translations of the Bible.
This entry comes from Encyclopædia Britannica Concise.

Sunday, Day 4 of Comic-ConNo matter how tired your feet are by what is actually Day 5 of Comic-Con, counting Preview Night, no matter how exhausted your body and empty your wallet, there's always a bit of sadness in the air when the last few hours of Comic-Con wind down.In the deviantART booth, we witnessed something a little magical when the voice came over the loudspeaker to announce that Comic-Con was closed at 5:00 pm sharp, the remaining straggling attendees and exhibitors packing up stopped what they were doing and burst into applause. It was a mixture of relief, pride, and fulfillment of a successful convention.Someone yelled, "See you in 365 days!" and there was a true moment of community with everyone in earshot. Sure, it's a sad sentiment, but it gives us all something to look forward to, and the months ahead will be filled with the happy memories of all we accomplished over the past week. Friends met that stop by every year, new friends, new properties to become fans of, new comic books to read and
Friday, Day 2 of Comic-ConComic-Con Veterans know there's an ebb and flow of patrons as the week progresses. While Preview Night can be frenzied with excitement for the con to come, there's also a notable saving of energy, knowing that the scant few hours of the first day will be nothing compared to the full-day smorgasbord for the remaining 4 days of the week. Thursday seems even more crazed by comparison, but of course, not all con-goers can get a weekday off. By Friday, electricity is buzzing in the air as cosplayers bust out their second outfit, comic-lovers bust out their second wallets, and area convenience stores are running dangerously low on comfy insoles and 5-Hour Energy Drinks.DeviantART's second Comic-Con panel began at noon, and the topic was How-To: The Business of Fan Art. After last year's hugely successful
Thursday, Day 1 of Comic-ConThursday was the first full day of Comic-Con, and artists, cosplayers, and fans (oh, my!) strapped on their most comfortable Con Shoes and continued rocking out in San Diego. It was also the day of deviantART's first panel, "How-To: Motion Books," which was so inspiring, audience members nearly had to be physically removed from the premises because the conversations ended long after they took the microphones away.Sitting on the panel were $spyed and $techgnotic from deviantART, *BenWolstenholme, =LiamSharp, and *nunyerbidniss from Madefire, and *davegibbons, perhaps best-known for his collaboration with Alan Moore on "Watchmen."

Wednesday, Preview Night of Comic-ConWednesday, Preview Night of Comic-ConWednesday, July 17, 2013When the bustle of tourists in Downtown San Diego is replaced by the flailing of fandoms, and the street signs around the Convention Center have changed from English to Dothraki (not Klingon, like past years), you know it's time for San Diego Comic-Con 2013!Wednesday the 17th kicked off this year's Preview Night, and energy was high as this year's Comic-Con sprang into motion with a flurry of activity. Many attendees treat the three-hour preview as a time to scan the showroom floor, mentally map places to hit on the later dates, and, of course, buy the must-have items that may be gone by Con's end. There's not a lot of cosplaying -- although there is some -- and vendors as

The Price Cap For Commissions Has Been Raised!One of the most common requests we received upon launching Commissions was to raise the price cap to make it higher than 4,000 Points. As of today, the price limit when setting up Commissions has been raised from 4,000 Points to 8,000 Points.We're excited to see the increased usage of the Commissions platform and the wide variety of work that artists have been offering. With this increased limit, we're hoping to give artists more flexibility with the types of Commissions they offer, and more importantly, allow artists to earn more for their high-quality creations!

Saturday, Day 3 of Comic-ConSaturdays mean the kids at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the adults at Stark Enterprises alike are free to spend the weekend as they please! For them as well as zombies and time lords, to whom weekends mean nothing, Saturday in San Diego was one of the most packed days of the convention yet!DeviantART staffers continued showering visitors with stress balls, collectible pins, and swapped stories of their favorite deviantART experiences. It's a long day, but hearing some of the inspirational stories that originate from our humble corner of the Internet are truly inspiring.Our final Comic-Con panel was held at 12:15 pm, and the topic was "How-To: Creator vs. Audience." Ron Martino ($techgnotic) led the panel, which talked about how the digital nature of storytelling on deviantART is changing the way the world interacts with its audiences.

We've been particularly troubled by the abuse of the word in meat marketing. A few years back, I (Nicolette) was strolling down a sidewalk in Manhattan and paused to read a poster in a supermarket window advertising "natural pork" for a mere $1.49 per pound. Upon closer examination, I realized it was just industrially produced pork. Yet the government allows factory-farmed pork to be sold as "natural" because it requires only that "natural" meat be "minimally processed." In other words, the conditions in which the animal is raised are deemed irrelevant. Amazingly, pigs raised in a crowded, windowless metal building with concrete floors and fed drug-laced feed can be (and are!) the source of pork labeled and sold as "natural."
Heavily criticized for this approach, the USDA finally undertook to define the term "naturally raised" a couple of years ago. We traveled to Denver to participate in the public hearings. We urged that the U.S. Department of Agriculture require that meat labeled "natural" must be raised naturally. (Our full comments are available online.)
Our point was that the conditions in which an animal is raised are central to the question of whether or not its meat is natural. A few weeks ago, the USDA released a draft of its new rules relating to meat labeling. The new rules require that meat called natural not be fed antibiotics or meat by-products. This is good but really just scratches the surface. Unfortunately, as previously, the rules are silent on the conditions in which animals are raised. We are not surprised, but we are nonetheless disappointed. This means the USDA will continue to allow factory-farmed meat to be labeled as "natural." Buyer beware.

A Colorado man accused of plowing his car through crowds at the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles, killing an Italian woman on her honeymoon and injuring 11 others, has been charged with murder and multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon
Nathan Louis Campbell, 38, who was arrested after the car rampage on Saturday night, was also charged with 17 counts of hit-and-run, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in a statement.
Prosecutors said Campbell was behind the wheel of a dark blue Dodge Avenger that sped down the boardwalk in Venice Beach, killing 32-year-old Italian tourist Alice Gruppioni.
Witnesses said it appeared the driver was aiming for pedestrians along the boardwalk, a patchwork of street vendors, souvenir shops, restaurants and sporting areas in one of the city's quirkiest neighbourhoods.
Authorities have not said what might have motivated the incident. Campbell was expected to make an initial court appearance in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday. Prosecutors said they would seek to have him held on US$1.48 million (NZ$1.87m) bail.

7 December 2013
22/05/2008 We stayed here during the high season in 2006. This is a nice campsite which is a medium size and the prices are reasonable. Suitable for young children with plenty of entertainment for them. The caravan was clean. Gardaland is quite nearby but you can't hear it. The theme park is worth a visit but it can be very busy during the summer. Location near Lake Garda is really nice and there are some nice places to visit in the area.
03/06/2008 Euro camp ground Pacengo is a medium-sized camp ground. The pool is excellent, but the bath superintendant was a little strict. The restaurant is excellent, large menu for very affordable prices. The places are a little small though, we were here with two families with a caravan, awning and an extra tent and we really needed three places. This was no problem and we weren't charged extra for this, super. Entertainment for small children is excellent, but there only is live music for adults once a week.When we were here, the village had a week of celebration. This was very pleasant with music and it was full of terraces. The village itself is not that special. Altogether a camp ground where we, also considering the price position, certainly will return to some time.
In 2014 I'll most probably go on (select the opinion you think fits best):

Jump For Juicy's Fabulous Fragrance
Jump For Juicy's Fabulous Fragrance
You've probably already seen the ads for the new fragrance from Juicy Couture, appropriately called Eau de Couture. I finally got around to trying it, and though I'm not a huge Juicy fan, I happen to think that this fragrance smells really great. The youthful, fruity scent has top notes of watermelon, mandarin orange, pink passion fruit, marigold, and green apple. The packaging is also very Juicy. It comes in a pristine pink and brown box, which encases a magnificent crystal bottle adorned with Juicy's well known J and Crown charms. Each perfume purchase also comes with an oh-so-trendy padlock charm necklace. Buy the 3.4-ounce eau de parfum here for $85. Or, if you really want to wow someone with a gigantic bottle of Juicy, you can buy the 20-ouncer here for the bargain price of $3,000.

The majority of the players speak english very good though, and some even use english on purpose to learn a language while playing :D It just feels better to see the good old words like "tower defense", "real time strategy", "fireball" in their original english spelling.

Royal Oak
November 7, 2012Ink Detroit, Goodwill team up to help Detroit Diehards
By Chris Jackett
C & G Staff Writer
ROYAL OAK — With a little bit of pride in the city of Detroit and a parallel vision of raising awareness, Detroit Diehard was born.
A black rubber bracelet resembling a tire, Detroit Diehard is the stylish collaboration between Royal Oak-based apparel company Ink Detroit and Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit. It serves a multi-faceted purpose for the two groups, raising both awareness and funds for areas of need.
"We're all about Detroit," said Steven Mansour, a Royal Oak resident and co-founder of Ink Detroit. "My company has the official trademark on 'I heart Detroit' products. The idea was we always worked with different organizations and nonprofits."
Goodwill's mission to provide job training, education and placement services to metro Detroiters fit the bill. And the 91-year-old organization's dual role as an automotive parts supplier for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors for the past 80 years played a large role in the tire-like design of the bracelet.
"I felt like it would be a good concept," Mansour said. "Goodwill does build auto parts for the Big Three."
Mark Lane, director of public relations and special events for Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit, said Goodwill and Ink Detroit were connected by a third party after hearing about Ink Detroit's partnerships with Volunteers of America and the American Cancer Society.
"They were introduced to us by Boost 1 Marketing and we got a chance to take Steve on a tour to show him what we're all about," Lane said. "We create business to create jobs. We've put 2,700 people back into real, paying jobs."
Goodwill has opened new stores in Canton and Dearborn in recent months, Lane said, helping to spur job growth for people ranging from recent veterans to those who had been unemployed for four years.
"Our mission is to get them trained, get them trusted and get them jobs," said Lane, who said the partnership with Ink Detroit is just getting started. "They care about this organization and this area. They're sticking their neck out and saying they believe in Goodwill."
Ink Detroit is joining Goodwill's 6:30 p.m. Nov. 23 Rock For Jobs concert at The Fillmore Detroit, which is made possible by a partnership with the Detroit Lions.
"We've been named one of the five local partners of the Detroit Lions' 'Living For the City' campaign," Lane said.
The concert will feature Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band's saxophone player, Alto Reed, along with Mitch Ryder, Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner and locally based The Electric Playground. Tickets range from $10-$50.
Goodwill and Ink Detroit kicked off the Detroit Diehard campaign Nov. 1 at John D American Bistro Bar in Ferndale.
"Not everyone shops online," Mansour said. "We're doing this as a gesture for friends and family to bring awareness for Goodwill. Not a lot of people know about Goodwill."
The bracelets are available for $5 apiece online at www.InkDetroit. com, www.GoodwillDetroit.org or at any of the several stores listed on the two websites. The proceeds will benefit Goodwill and Ink Detroit 50/50.
