This is an amazing palette from UD. What's surprising is just how versatile and wearable these shadows are (depending on what shades you put together) but you can also do some really "WOW factor" looks as well. I think it's a bit heavy on the black shadows (3 in one palette) especially since most of us already have at least one or 2 blacks that work well for us, and if you've got either of the Naked palettes, you are well supplied with black. But I can overlook this because I LOVE Poison (it reminds me a bit of MAC's Moonlight Night pigment when I look at it in some lights) – it is SO pigmented that I have to be really careful only to pick up the slightest amount, which is more than enough for my outer V and crease! Fortunately, this shadow blends and blends effortlessly so what you think it is going to be an alarming black splotch blends out to a lovely fading gradient of dark to light smoke. This palette has great highlight shades (matte and sheen) and some standout rich neutrals and eye-catching jewel tones. Strike, Stash and Derailed are probably my favourite shades simply because I do like neutrals but I love every shade in this palette and I am WAAAY older than UD's target market, I'm sure. This palette is so complete and so well packaged (in a nice, hard plastic case with a big mirror) that it is great for travel – you can have day and dramatic evening looks all from one palette. The brush isn't bad either – seems a bit different and a bit nicer than the one in Naked2.
This palette is so incredibly awesome! I was kind of unsure about it because there were a bunch of neutrals (I have both Naked 1 and 2 so I'm pretty set on neutrals) and some colors that I didn't think I'd use but I'm so glad I bought it. The colors are all stunning–Prank, which sheers out really easily, is the only one I'm not in love with–and the possibilities for looks are endless. Even the neutrals have some spunk to them (Ambush totally blew me away: it looks super ordinary in the pan but GORGEOUS when swatched) to keep them from being too common. The array of colors means that you can go neutral or smoky or bright with ease. I love that there's pretty much one of every color (except orange or yellow, both of which I'd love to see done by UD). As soon as I got it, I did a random smoky look using Smokeout, Lovesick, Voodoo, Betrayal, Madness, Shellshock, Dope, and Habit–literally going "hmm, what if I added this next?"–and it turned out great even for a makeup newbie like me.
The palette itself is extremely pretty, the button makes the mirror pop up by itself (which made my jaw drop from glee when I first opened it), and the mirror both stands up on its own and is big enough to actually use (which for someone who normally wears glasses like me and has to get up close to a mirror to do make-up is SUCH a plus). The only other gripe I'd have is with the double ended brush, which is kind of small for my liking. Still, it seems like it's pretty good quality.
Overall, for $59 dollars you're getting 19 beautiful colors (and 1 so-so one), so I'd definitely say that it's worth it.
I got the original Naked palette when it first came to Canada (I'd been on a waiting list at Sephora). This still stands as a bit of an icon as it really pointed the way showing other cosmetic companies just what it is that women are after – a great, wearable, travel-friendly collection of mostly neutral shadows that can be worn for day/work or night. While there are a few problematic shadows in here – Sidecar, while beautiful, always results in fallout for me – and some people wish there were more matte shades, this is still a fabulous palette that I enjoy using over and over again. My personal preference is for the cooler toned Naked 2, but the original is still a favourite!
This palette contains a really wonderful selection of eyeshadows with the 'deluxe' formula. This formula means the eyeshadows are VERY soft (almost to the point of being too soft, as a little crumbling does occur) and apply really nicely, and comfortably. The brights are the best part of the palette for me, particularly 'Peace' and 'Graffiti', which are so pretty. It's versatile because you have a great range of colours, as well as some browns and a black. For me the browns are a little too light, including the darkest one, which actually comes out a lot more light and shimmery than it looks. 'Zero' is a really nice shimmery black that has good opacity and makes the palette just that much more versatile, as any look can be made more dramatic. 'Fishnet' is really striking because it has a duochrome effect which allows it to appear more pink or purpley/blue depending on how it is worn Each eyeshadow is very easy to blend because they are all so soft. The packaging is great too because it's small and thin so will fit in a handbag easily, whereas something like the Book of Shadows would be too bulky. I find palettes tend to be good value for money too because you are getting 9 eyeshadows together for a better price than if you were to buy them separately.

Features a good variety of shades that work well on many skin tones and some surprising essentials (the pair of highlighters is nice, as is the all-matte taupe Tease). The brush is durable and usable, and the packaging itself, while a step up from Naked's hard cardboard, has a weird flaw: the individual pans are not very tightly attached to the metal case. While this can be fixed with a hot-glue gun and some patience, it's a bit of a pain. Another curiosity is the repetition of the shade Half Baked from the original Naked palette; while it's a great shade, a bright glittery gold might be harder to use everyday than say, another matte nude. Regardless, it's a great palette and makes an excellent present.
I got the Naked palette when I was first starting out in make-up and it is one of the best gifts I have ever received!
You can use pretty much any brush with these and they still apply and blend out effortlessly. I highly recommend the splurge for beginners!
The only reason why I have tagged it as "fall-out" is because of the shade "Side Car" and If you don't apply it wet, I find that the glitter gradually moves onto you're cheeks throughout the day.
The magnetic closure makes it great for travelling and you can take out the brush it comes with and put your own brush or eyeliner in there instead.
My favourite shades are sin (lid), Toasted (outer V), Naked (brows) and Half-Baked (lid).

Judging by the all-too-frequent requests on our Facebook page to "bring back Vice!," we're not the only ones with an insatiable shadow addiction. For fans that missed out the first time (and beauty junkies jonesing for their next fix), Urban Decay launches Vice 2—a luxe, sophisticated palette loaded with 20 ALL-NEW (and unbelievably gorgeous) Eyeshadow shades. Experiment with insanely cool brights, not-your-average neutrals, and sexy hits of smoke, all in our decadent, revamped formula. But here's the part we can't stress enough: YES, it's limited edition and it WILL sell out. (And trust us, you don't want to know about the extreme measures you'd have to resort to in order to land one when that happens.)

Four years after the last major conflict in the region, Israel and Hamas have once again been on the brink of war in Gaza, though an Egypt-brokered cease-fire appears to be holding, paving the way for peace talks in future. So what is the group, and what does it hope to achieve by its rocket attacks on Israeli targets?
What is Hamas?
Hamas is a militant fundamentalist Islamic organization operating in the West Bank and Gaza. The name Hamas is an acronym for "Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamia," or Islamic Resistance Movement in English. The word "hamas" means zeal, or enthusiasm, in Arabic.
Hamas has sections dedicated to religious, military, political and security activities. It runs a social welfare program, and operates a number of schools, hospitals and religious institutions.
What are its aims?
The goal of Hamas is an Islamic fundamentalist Palestinian state. Its manifesto advocates the destruction of the state of Israel, and calls for the raising of "the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine."
Hamas members, like most Palestinian factions and political parties, insist that Israel is an occupying power, and that the group is simply trying to liberate the Palestinian territories.
"The Palestinian people were living in peace and security, then the Israelis occupied the land," Khaled Meshaal, the political leader of Hamas, told CNN. "According to international law, and according to the Divine laws, the Americans and all peoples, when they are occupied, they resist with all that they have."
When an Israeli airstrike killed the group's military leader, Ahmed Ja'abari, this month, Hamas warned Israel that it had "opened the gates of hell on itself."
Meshaal has previously said the group would support a Palestinian state based on the borders that existed prior to the 1967 Six-Day War, during which Israeli troops occupied Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, with East Jerusalem as its capital. However, he has stopped short of backing a full two-state solution, including acceptance of Israel's right to exist.
The refusal of Hamas to recognize the state of Israel is one reason why it has rejected peace talks in the past. In 1993, it opposed the Oslo Accords, a peace pact between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Speaking following the most recent outbreak of violence, Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said: "Hamas is an enemy of peace. [It] is dedicated to destroying the state of Israel."
But Robert Blecher, Israel and Palestine Program Director at the International Crisis Group, said claims that Hamas wanted to see Israel "wiped off the map" were outdated.
"The document still exists as their official charter, but many people in Hamas view it is a historical document, an artifact, rather than as an active program" since Hamas has agreed to other commitments that go against it in more recent years.
Even so, it is unlikely to be altered any time soon. "It can't be changed under the current political conditions, because if they gave in to the demands of others to change it, it would look like they were making a concession," Blecher told CNN.
What are Hamas' origins?
Hamas was established in 1987 -- during the First Intifada, or uprising -- by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Yassin and other activists linked to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood movement had set up a network of charities, schools and clinics in the West Bank and Gaza in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Initially, their activities were encouraged by some Israeli politicians, who saw the group as an alternative to the PLO and a way of lessening the influence of its leader, Yasser Arafat.
However, the founding charter of Hamas, published in 1988, called for jihad, or holy war, against Israel.
The following year, Yassin -- a partially blind quadriplegic -- was convicted by an Israeli court of ordering Hamas members to kidnap and kill two Israeli soldiers. He was released from jail in 1997 as part of a prisoner exchange, traded for two Israeli agents captured in Jordan during an attempt to assassinate Khaled Meshaal. Yassin was killed in an Israeli airstrike in 2004, after surviving an earlier attempt on his life the previous year.

Survey of the States
Survey of the States 2011: The State of Economic and Personal Finance Education in our Nation's Schools
"Just as it was not possible to live in an industrialized society without print literacy – the ability to read and write – so it is not possible to live in today's world without being financially literate. To fully participate in society today, financial literacy is critical."
-Annamaria Lusardi, Denit Trust Professor of Economics and Accountancy at the George Washington University School of Business
The Survey of the States is a biennial report that brings attention to the critical importance of economics and personal finance education by documenting its status in the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
At a Glance: CEE's Interactive Survey of the States
Visit www.surveyofthestates.com to explore the interactive Survey of the States. The online version takes users on a visual, interactive journey, walking them through the cost of financial illiteracy, the current state of financial and economic education, along with its benefits and the challenge of implementing it, and finally, how to take action. With links to CEE's teacher tools like lesson plans, online games and state resources, the interactive Survey of the States does more than point out the problems: it also offers solutions.
The recent economic downturn has brought nationwide attention to the dangers of a financially illiterate society. The 2011 Survey shows that while there has clearly been progress since the first Survey in 1998, that over the last two years, the trend is slowing and in some cases moving backwards.
The survey can facilitate an important dialogue that must take place between those who recognize that this knowledge is critical for young people and the decision makers that can effect change.
Key Findings
- The number of states that now require students to take an economics course as a high school graduation requirement increased from 21 in 2009 to 22 in 2011.
- However, only 16 states require the testing of student knowledge in economics, 3 fewer than in 2009.
- No improvement has been seen in the area of personal finance. The number of states that require students to take a personal finance course (or personal finance included in an economics course) as a high school graduation requirement remains at 13.
- Only 2 more states now require that personal finance content standards be implemented, bringing the total to 36.
Funding for the 2011 survey was provided by the Calvin K. Kazanjian Economics Foundation.

"Don't take any chances"
Managing Editor
First Lady Marsha Barbour urges Yazoo County residents in the path of the coming flood not to take any chances.
"The height may vary from what's being predicted, but it's coming," Barbour said, during a public meeting Thursday.
Floodwaters are expected to reach more than a foot beyond the top of the Yazoo Backwater levee, flooding hundreds of thousands of acres from Rolling Fork to Vicksburg to the hills of Yazoo County. Officials say that anyone who was flooded in 2008 can expect water more than six feet higher this time.

Based in Swindon, UK, Mongoose Publishing was founded in 2001 and within 6 months became the UK's largest publisher of roleplaying games. Initially concentrating on d20 based products, Mongoose Publishing's first book was the Slayers Guide to Hobgoblins, part of the Slayers Guide series of books. Subsequent product lines followed in rapid succession with the release of the Encyclopaedia Arcane, Travellers Tales, Quintessential and Cities of Fantasy series of books.
Mongoose has earned a reputation for producing quality licensed products to sit alongside their generic fantasy ranges and their first licensed book, the Judge Dredd roleplaying game, proved to be an instant hit. Further licensed products followed with roleplaying games based on Slaine, Babylon 5, Conan, Lone Wolf, Macho Women with Guns, Paranoia and Runequest. Mongoose's newest licenced roleplaying game, Traveller, brings back the classic science fiction roleplaying game.
In 2004 Mongoose Publishing launched it's first miniatures game, Mighty Armies, and this was quickly followed by the Origins award-winning Babylon 5 spaceship combat game, A Call to Arms. Mongoose's first foray into plastic miniature games came in late 2004 with the innovative Gangs of Mega City One, a skirmish game based on the world of Judge Dredd. In the spring of 2005 Mongoose Publishing released the Starship Troopers miniatures game, a mass battle game in 28mm scale pitting humanity against a host of enemies in a battle for the species. Supported with a range of metal and plastic miniature releases, a year after its launch Starship Troopers had already won the Origins 'Best New Game' award and was supported by over 50 different releases. Our current miniatures games include Judge Dredd and A Call to Arms: Star Fleet.
Mongoose Publishing's miniatures games and roleplaying games continue to provide gamers with fantastic worlds in which to immerse themselves, and the company has become a recognised force in the world of hobby games.

Description of Research Expertise
Research Interests:Elucidation of molecular mechanisms that: 1) mediate the cellular DNA damage response to maintain genomic stability and suppress malignant transformation, and 2) direct the assembly, modification, and silencing of lymphocyte antigen receptor genes to establish adaptive immunity without causing lymphoma or auto-immunity.
Key Words:
DNA repair, genomic instability, cancer, lymphocyte development, V(D)J recombination, class switch recombination, auto-immunity
Research Details:
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are hazardous cellular lesions. Unfortunately, they also are very common. DSBs arise in every S phase through DNA replication errors and can be induced in any cell cycle phase by exogenous factors such as ionizing radiation or endogenous factors such as reactive oxygen species. When un-repaired or mis-repaired, DSBs can result in genomic instability that can lead to cell death or drive malignant transformation. Despite their danger, DSBs are a necessary part of biology. In this context, the induction and repair of DSBs within antigen receptor loci during V(D)J recombination and class switch recombination (CSR) is essential for development and function of an immune system capable of adapting and responding to a wide variety of pathogens. Cells have evolved efficient, specialized, and redundant mechanisms to sense, respond to, and repair DSBs. This generally conserved DNA damage response (DDR) integrates cell cycle progression and cellular survival to facilitate repair, or trigger apoptosis if damage is too severe. The physiological importance of V(D)J recombination and CSR control mechanisms has been demonstrated by the fact that defects in each can lead to immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, and lymphoma; while the immunological relevance of DDR control mechanisms has been illustrated by observations that deficiency of these can lead to immunodeficiency and lymphomas with antigen receptor locus translocations. One main research focus within the lab aims to elucidate molecular mechanisms through which the DDR maintains genomic stability and suppresses transformation in cells during V(D)J recombination, CSR, and DNA replication. Another research focus within the lab aims to exploit the knowledge and animal models gained through these studies to design, develop, and test novel treatments for cancer that are more effective and less toxic than current clinical therapies. A third research focus aims to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms by which antigen receptor gene rearrangements are coordinated between homologous alleles and activated/silenced in a developmental stage-specific manner to maintain genomic stability and suppress cellular transformation during V(D)J recombination. Another research focus within the lab aims to test our hypothesis that the molecular mechanisms that control antigen receptor gene rearrangements and the cellular DDR co-evolved in lymphocytes to ensure development of an effective adaptive immune system without conferring substantial predisposition to autoimmunity or cancer upon the host organism.

As others have pointed out, the hotel is near the conference centre and the amusement park, but not walking distance to the city core. However, the... subway is about 150 metres away and will take you directly there. If you are a family, there is absolutely nothing to do in the hotel for kids. However, the room I was in (business room) was very comfortable, with a nice bathroom and absolutely no noise from outside the room. Others have mentioned the presence of "ladies of the night", but I did not see any of them, probably since the adjacent amusement park is closed and there is now little pedestrian traffic near the hotel.

View all authorsRabbi Dr. Sholom Gold
Rabbi Dr. Sholom Gold, attended Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in NY, Ner Israel in Baltimore, and Yeshivot Ponevez and Hevron in Israel. He received semicha from Chief Rabbi Yitzchok Isaac Halevi Herzog and from HaRav Yaacov Yitzchok Halevi Ruderman. As a young man in 1959, he came to Toronto to establish the Ner Israel Yeshiva, where he also built and developed Congregation Bnei Torah in Willowdale, a northern suburb of Toronto. Becoming Rabbi of Young Israel of West Hempstead NY in 1971, he built one of the first eruvin in North America, which quickly became a model world-wide. Under his leadership the local mikveh was built as West Hempstead was developing into one of the most vibrant religious communities in the NY area. Since making aliya in 1982, he has built and served as the Rav of Kehilat Zichron Yoseph in Har Nof, and in 1984 founded the Avrom Silver Jerusalem College for Adults, which merged with the Israel Center in 2002, where Rabbi Gold, as Dean, is teaching Torah today. He was one of the founders of the Ichud Harabanim L'maan Eretz Yisrael V'am Yisrael , under the guidance of the Chief Rabbis Avraham Schapira z"l and Mordechai Eliyahu z"l.

"The steering wheel looks pretty good overall. The wood and black leather are not the exact match but pretty close. The price is unbeatable! I would recommend CARiD to any Mercedes Benz owner who wants a wood steering wheel but does not want to pay a hefty price for the OEM one."
Posted by David H.
"I've sent my all-leather Mercedes S550 steering wheel in and a picture in as well by email. When I got my steering wheel back, I couldn't believe the craftsmanship and quality of the work they did with my steering wheel. It is flawless! Perfect!!! It really looks like it came with my car. Very happy and I saved over 500 dollars because brand new from the dealer costs 700 to 800 dollars."
Posted by Chris S.
"The steering wheel took 5 weeks to get here, not 2-3. The leather was not matched correctly and was cheap quality. The stitching was not straight. Also, the leather was not stretched correctly around the spokes. However, the wood/leather seem was good. All in all, the steering wheel looks good installed, but it has a few quirks if you look at it carefully."

The air in Beijing is still ridiculuously polluted. It is meant to be at maximum 50 m per m but there's 160 m per m. The reason China got it was because it said it would decrease the pollution.
I wanted to know what is going to be done about it, in such short time? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/28/2008 10:04PM by Olive. No need to do anything more fake, let the real China to be present to the whole world, all at a strike, everyone knows what the real china looks like. That makes no sense, bu at the moment beijing is extremely polluted. You can see it as it leaves everything looking misty. What so that scientific machinary telling people about the air in beijing is wrong, and the american team coming in smog masks is just them being silly. Wearing smog masks might seem overdone and silly, but after a day's sojourn on Beijing streets, I wouldn't be surprised when they get back to their hotel rooms and clean their noses out to find crusty / viscous snot that's green and brown. Why do you think the locals also wear the masks.
Another thing to watch out for is frequent and prolonged exposure of rain on the scalp / skin. With all the pollutants mixed in the rainwater, it can't be good for the scalp / skin and is said to possibly cause hair to fall out, i.e., to cause blotchy (bald) spots. So it is a good idea to shower as soon as possible. Maybe some people are more sensitive than others. Of course this isn't scientific, but applied common sense. Hey Tiber you think only Beijing have air pollution ??!!? All big city in world have air pollution. London have air pollution too Yarik, Beijing has too high an air polution. It is higher then UN standards on health. It is so bad satiarists are making jokes about it. Still, you have to start somewhere. and compared to the last few years beijing's air has never been this good as it is now.
i'm not saying that pollution here isn't a huge problem. and I can even understand if some athletes don't want to come. But what do you except? I don't think that when beijing recieved the allowance to host the olympic games people really believed that they would be able to reduce it as to reach the european standards within 4 years... don't even think it would have been theoretically possible. and its not like they didn't have any serious air pollution in europe either. and even they needed what? at least 10 years to get rid of it. Ha haaaaaa, Tiber, it's me again. I don't know if anyone has studied this little fact, but being me, I just had to bring it to your worthy attention !!! several billion TONS of methane gas are pumped into the atmosphere annually... "WAHHHHHHHHH" I hear you cry.. "who is this vast polluter of my atmosphere...?" the answer to this question is CATTLE ( which come in varying sizes, shapes, etc All animals, in fact, that eat vegetation FART THIS QUANTITY OF METHANE (between them)into the atmospere annually.... what should we do with these "farters"??? their contribution to 'global warming'.. 'ozone layer'.. not to mention my health, is surely something that should be stopped?? Give the world a few good examples of how we can stop these 'Olymic gold medal farters', and you will go down in history as the saviour of the planet.. Yeah, that actually came out on the news here ages ago, but it is not cows that are casuing the pollution in beijing now. The fact is, beijing is ridiculously polluted, more so then the good old london haze. But at least it is better then before. Shame about the chinese track runner by the way.
O by the way, you lot type in mock the week olympics in to you tube., funny as anything block you ass, or you'll get hurt. Even local Beijingers are concerned about the pollution that is getting worse and worse. Beijing can never be polluted like this before. When I was child, I didn't see sand storm at all. Now, the city has been changed from tradional hutong, siheyuan to glassy concrete that seems to be modern but not suitable for living any more. ....Beijing, pain in my dream. Whenever I went back to Beijing, I must get sick for a couple of days,either fever, or food sickness. Beijing is not that polluted like other Chinese cities. I think it is okay and it is not that bad like some of you said. Anyway, different person, different opinions Errr...its not an opinion, there is a standard of health in air polution set by the UN. Beijing air is bad for your health. 我看到我们的政府在努力改变这种状况,我们看得到。 In fact I think Beijing air has gotten MUCH better this year, since the Olympics, of course that pollution has just been moved to another city.... but it's good for those of us in Beijing! haha Still it's not good but I see blue skies sometimes, like today!

------------------------------------------------------- > I think Beijing's pollution has been reduced and > did not see a big problem when visiting. Were you here for the Olympic games? It does still get bad some days but I agree it's much better than before, even much better than Nanjing was. come here and see by youself. Yesterday and today are good examples of bad air in Beijing. It's sunny so you'd think it's be blue sky but it's just a dull shade of grey. But definitely better than two years ago. When I was there in 2002 and 2006 I didn't think it was that bad...but it did look awfully hazy at times lol. I will admit I seen the blue sky more in Wuhan and Shanghai more often though lol. I'm told the last couple years Wuhan has been getting lots worse... its tagged as one of the new cities for construction and money. It was being built up when I was there in 06....I wonder what it looks like now. 3 years in China is a long time when talking about how fast they build their cities... Probably quite different now. LOL yeah there was a difference in Beijing between 02 and 06. I'm possibly going back to China at the end of this year, we will have to see though...and I probably will be in Shanghai the whole time though... beijing's air pollution is a big problem,can not resolve in a few time! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/14/2011 04:08PM by Olive. Guangzhou's is plenty bad too. Two of my good friends moved away recently primarily because of the pollution.

Late drive rallies Navarre to 20-18 win at Pine Forest
The Navarre Raiders created a Thanksgiving miracle Friday in Pensacola.
Senior quarterback Colton Kane passed 31 yards to Brad Leggett with 26 seconds left to rally the Raiders (11-1) to a 20-18 come-from-behind Class 4A regional semifinal win against the Pine Forest Eagles at Lon Wise Stadium.
The pass capped a 90-yard, nine-play drive that took just just more than two minutes.
Pine Forest, which beat Navarre 33-13 on the same field in September, gave up a 12-0 lead before clawing back to an 18-14 advantage midway through the third quarter. That was the score with just more than three minutes left when, on third down at the Raiders' 19-yard-line, Eagles' standout Louchez Purifoy took the snap and weaved through Navarre's defense. The mercurial senior spun away from a defender and seemed to have gained the yardage he needed for a first down that, in all likelihood, would have guaranteed victory for the Eagles. But in the scramble, Purifoy lost the ball and Navarre linebacker Chris Stapleton recovered the fumble...and the Raiders' hopes.
That turnover was preordained, according to Leggett.
"Coach (Chad Lashley) told us something was going to happen in the timeout (immediately prior to the Eagles' third-down play on which Purifoy fumbled)," the senior wide receiver said. "We knew somebody was going to make a play and give us a chance."
Kane -- who threw three interceptions in the game, one of which was returned for Pine Forest's first score -- completed seven of 10 passes on the final drive, including a key nine-yarder to Will Posey on fourth-and-three from the 50.
"We knew this was a dream drive, we knew it would make us or break us if we wanted to keep playing football," Kane said after the game. "We found it within ourselves to make it happen."
Navarre will play Tallahassee Lincoln, a 35-16 winner over Wakulla, in the Class 4A Region 1 final at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3 at Gene Cox Stadium in Tallahassee.
For more on the Raiders' win at Pine Forest and their game with Lincoln, check the Dec. 2 edition of Navarre Press.

Joe L.'s Story
Located prominently on a hillside terrace overlooking the main thoroughfare in downtown Madawaska, the Four Corners Park was created to honor those hearty souls who saddle their motorcycles for a grueling cross-country trek to the outermost reaches of the continental United States. As the Southern California Motorcycle Association's primary challenge to long-distance bikers, the Four Corners Tour requires each candidate to "travel by motorcycle to the four corners of the U.S in 21 days or less," with Madawaska representing the most northeastern aspect (while Blaine in Washington, San Ysidro in California and Key West in Florida serve as the other three points--though none other with benefit of a park, which is specifically dedicated to their achievement, or the fanfare that often accompanies the Madawaska leg of this journey).
With an unparalleled view of the Saint John River and the city of Edmundston, Canada, on the opposite shore (seemingly just a stone's throw away), the park boasts an impressive 12-foot tall, blue-pearl granite monument dedicated to those wind-burnt and saddle-sore participants who persevere in their quest to join the ranks of SCMA's "tour finishers." .
A unique feature of this park is the run of red and gray pavers fronting the fountain and serving as footpaths and walkways across well-kept lawns to an ice-cold drinking fountain, a sparkling-clean restroom and a night-blazing fireplace. Red pavers celebrate tour finishers, with all pertinent information, such as: who they are, what they rode, when they toured, where they came from and why they came; whereas, chiseled with heartening and celebratory messages, the gray granite pavers are reserved for park supporters who wish to memorialize a business venture, an important event in their lives or a loved one, perhaps deceased, whom they wish to honor in a lively and enlivening environment. A woodland cape of native trees, flowers and ferns surrounds the upper edge of the park, giving a dappled shade in the shimmering heat of the summer months across hundreds of these red and gray pavers.

The detained Politburo member Bo Xilai may face criminal charges after his wife informed on "the crimes of others" in order to soften her own murder sentence.
The sensational proceedings in court today will further animate what is already a fraught leadership transition, scheduled to begin later this year.
Lawyers for Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and her family retainer Zhang Xiaojun, today accepted the prosecution's case that she murdered a British friend, Neil Heywood.
The defence lawyers accepted lurid details of how Gu, with Zhang as an accomplice, lured Heywood from Beijing to a hotel in the Chongqing hills where they personally poured poison into his mouth.
"Gu Kailai and Zhang Xiaojun did not offer any objections to the charges of intentional homicide," said the vice president of the Hefei Intermediate People's Court, Tang Yigan, in a press conference tonight.
And Mr Tang revealed the potentially explosive information that Gu was seeking a lighter sentence in return for providing evidence against unnamed others.
"Gu Kailai's lawyer said the defendant was exemplary in informing on the crimes of others," he said in a prepared statement after the case.
Bo Xilai has been detained at an unknown location for unspecified "serious" violations of party discipline.
His detention in March followed sensational testimony from his former police chief – given to both American diplomats and Chinese officials – that he was implicated in financial crimes and had obstructed the investigation into the Heywood murder.
Mr Tang's two-page statement said Gu was the leader in killing Heywood, and Zhang an accomplice.
But it devoted substantial space to detail Gu and Zhang's plea for leniency, citing their lawyers' claim that Gu was motivated to defend the "personal safety" of her son, Bo Guagua, after an economic dispute; that Heywood was partially responsible for his own murder, and that she had diminished personal control at the time of the murder.
The pair met Heywood in room 1605 of their Chongqing hotel and proceeded to ply Heywood with alcohol and tea, said Mr Tang.
Heywood vomited and requested water, at which time Zhang took the opportunity to provide Gu with the pre-prepared poison, he said.
"She poured prepared poison into Heywood's mouth, causing his death," said Mr Tang.
The trial, which began and finished today, was efficient even by the standards of Gu, herself a lawyer, who once wrote of the superiority of the Chinese criminal justice system.
Gu and Zhang are certain to be convicted but appear likely to avoid death sentences.
Mr Tang said the verdict and sentences would be handed down at a later date.
The case appears to open the door to Bo facing economic or abuse of power charges.
Bo's downfall has intensified the factional, ideological and personal jockeying ahead of the 18th Party Congress later this year.
Mr Bo forged vast networks within the party, particularly among fellow "princeling" children of revolutionary leaders, and remains as popular among large sections of ordinary people as he is reviled by many lawyers and liberal intellectuals.
Today two protestors were detained outside the Hefei court in eastern Anhui province after telling foreign reporters that both Bo and Gu had been framed.
Bo had seemed likely to rise close to the summit of Chinese politics when he was toppled by an improbable series of events, beginning with his wife murdering his close associate Heywood in November.
News did not leak from Chongqing until February, when Bo's former police chief and right-hand man, Wang Lijun, fled to a US consulate with evidence reportedly including a slice of Heywood's heart.
The spokesman tonight said "physical" evidence had been presented in court.
In March, Bo gave a defiant press conference, where he warned against going down "the capitalist road", which prompted Premier Wen Jiabao to respond with warnings about a repeat of the orchestrated chaos of the Cultural Revolution.
Bo was sacked from his position in charge of Chongqing municipality the following day and then "suspended" from his Politburo position in April, but no new official information about Bo's position has been released since.
