This school is so great - supportive staff and teachers. My kids simply cannot wait to go to school each day!
Wonderful Christian school! Amazing teachers that authentically care for students academically and spiritually. Principal / superintendent has a heart and passion for Christian education and for the kids that is seen and felt. Feels like a "family" of believers and very welcoming. We have 3 children attending that have connected with their friends and love the school. We couldn't be happier! What a way to invest in your child.
Northland Christian High School joined with Life Christian Academy in 2007 to become Northland Christian Education System. Both of my kids started in kindergarten at LCA and both will have graduated from NCES come May. NCES' vision is to teach kids how to learn, love and lead the world to Christ. NCES desires to partner with Christian families and churches to provide a God-centered, discipleship based school with academic excellence and a biblical worldview. NCES is a safe, loving and caring place for kids to learn how to deal with what life throws at them. Pleawe go to www.northlandchristianed.com for more information.
We love this school! It has been very good to have my kids go through this school. The teachers are very supportive, and the atmosphere is great!
I've had children in every grade 2nd through 8th and have never been disappointed. The teachers love Christ and love the kids. Academic programs are generally strong. Music, art, and some sports are available - all are run extremely well. The principal and vice principal are extremely involved and always accessible. Parental involvement is encouraged.
My daughter started kindergarten at Life Christian Academy in 2000. My son started in 2003 and they both will continue to attend school there. It's not only a great school academically the kids are spiritually fed as well. The teachers are wonderful and there is a very high moral standard. If you want your children to recieve a quality christian education this is a great school to consider.

The Worst Weight-Loss Advice We've Ever Heard
We admit that in times of desperation, we too have gone looking for a quick-fix diet, but these six ill-advised tips are certifiably crazy. Avoid at all costs!
By Sunny Sea Gold
Master the cleanse
We know that the sometimes-extreme Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan of cleanses and fasts to drop weight quick, but even she's changed her mind about the infamous Master Cleanse, during which starvers drink only a lemon water, maple syrup and cayenne concoction for days or weeks. "Do not get me started on the Master Cleanse—it's hands down one of the stupidest, most potentially harmful diets around," says nutritional consultant and author of Eat Like a Fatass, Look Like a Goddess Erika Herman. "The amount of high-fructose sugar combined with the total lack of any fat to mitigate the blood sugar and insulin-spiking effects of that sugar leads to inflammation, which is at the root of many diseases and even contributes to weight issues." Any lost pounds will quickly come back the moment solid food passes your lips—plus some.

5 People Who Are Seriously Still on MySpace
Well, it turns out that the site still exists (though the cottage industry that sprang up instructing people how to use it more effectively seems to have died), and we ventured back onto it for old time's sake. After braving the desolation, we discovered that there are still a handful of people using MySpace, and for the most part, they fit nicely into these five categories:
Metal Bands Who Don't Care About You and Your Stupid Facebook Status
The last time we logged in to MySpace before today was in January. The last time the dudes in "Faceblaster" did it was lunchtime. MySpace, it turns out, still offers some genuine utility to bands, since it hosts their music in an easy-to-load player, and the customizable graphics can make it feel like you're at an official Web site if you squint real hard. And since bands on MySpace were never really that into interacting with the other users (unless they were trying to get laid on tour), the fact that there are tumbleweeds blowing through the site isn't really a drawback -- if they didn't care about your bulletins back when you bothered to post them, they don't care that you're not posting them now.
Amateur Models Who Want to Be Told How Hot They Are by Random Dudes
Since Facebook tends to inform all of your friends and family every time you go to the bathroom, there's a disincentive toward posting "Oh my god i would hit that" underneath every picture of a pretty girl with some exposed cleavage -- the last thing anyone wants is Great Aunt Marcia reading every pervy comment they've posted in the middle of a lonely night. Furthermore, Facebook's privacy settings -- while can be modified -- create a sort of natural barrier against using it to rack up huge numbers of comments from total strangers, which means that ladies looking to jump-start a modeling career through social networking sites are likely to go down with the MySpace ship.
Back when people were still joining MySpace, a commonly heard question was "Who the hell is Tom?" -- a reference to the site's founder, who was immediately added to the friend list of every new user. Despite a pretty hilarious fake Facebook page, Tom inked a deal with the site he sold to News Corp to maintain his profile and presence on the site -- and not do much else -- for a cool $500,000 a year. At a rate like that, we'd probably stay in touch with our moms and aunts via postcards and phonecalls, rather than Facebook, too.
"Answerer 1"
The hideous, largely un-navigable profile pages full of blinking animated gifs, glittery backgrounds and epilepsy-triggering color combinations likely drove a lot of readers away from MySpace, but there are at least a few who find that to be a favorite feature. One of the answers to the Yahoo! Answers question "Do People Still Use MySpace" spoke for them when it stated, "Facebook is the lame one cause u can't change the ur porfile background like u can on my space [sic]". For people who fancy a glaringly ugly "porfile" and the ability to customize it to their terrible tastes, MySpace apparently still holds some charm.
Dead People
Like the evil that men do, a person's MySpace page -- rather than being interred with their bones -- lives on after its creator's death. Back when the living still spent a goodly amount of time on the site, that led a ghoulish, mean-spirited companion Web site called "MyDeathSpace" to seek out and post the profiles of the recently departed. Now that MySpace is largely ignored, the site focuses instead on updating its users on celebrity deaths (via, naturally, a Twitter feed), but the profiles remain. It's creepy to think about, but even as the number of actual users on the site dwindles, the number of tombstone pages will continue to grow.
Now that we've harshed your buzz, tell us in the comments -- when was the last time you logged on to MySpace, and why?

Facebook sucks. I like myspace because I personalize it. Not like some A.D.D. kid with glitter, but with things that actually represent who I am. The best thing about myspace (the worst thing about facebook) is that when you customize your page it stays that way... and peoples retarded posts don't replace some of the truly funny pictures that I found. Facebook is used to keep in touch with friends. but myspace shows some personality.
Plus my grandma will never join myspace and expect me to add her as a friend. She joined facebook a week ago, and now I can't post anything about the counter-culture lifestyle I live.

Don't forget the Porn Stars!!! They love them some MySpace. Ironically, they're not allowed to post NSFW photos there ( bit.ly/2z0car ), which kinda defeats the purpose. But then again, MySpace kinda defeats the purpose of coherent communication.

Myspace has always been the best social networking site for artists. That's what it was designed for. It offers pretty much unlimited storage of your songs and artwork and a really great customizable interface. Comparatively Facebook is like staring at a blank wall.
It's hardly myspace's fault that the world tried to turn their art-networking site into their personal email site. Half the switch from myspace is generated by Dateline NBC making it unpopular through pedo-paranoia, the other half is jealous wives making their husbands switch to facebook so they can spy on them more easily. For artists who get bored to death staring at facebook and for people that don't really care about hiding their secret girlfriend, myspace is still the top social network to use. Facebook is for sad married people.

I hated Myspace because of all the crappy glitter icons, and guys named Ray-shawn and had pictures of them shirtless in from of a mirror taken with a cell phone who Friend Requested me.
I like Facebook because it's simple, there aren't as many frills. I hate the groups and fan pages though, except for a few cool or funny ones.
Myspace was just annoying. Peoples' swagged out pages and huge playlists of music took forever to load, too.

During the practice 180-degree autorotation landing, the helicopter touched down hard, the main rotor severed the tail boom, and the helicopter rolled on its side. The first pilot reported that, during four of six prior autorotations performed by the second pilot, it was necessary for the him to assume control of the helicopter and make power recoveries due to high landing flares, improper airspeed, and improper rotor rpm. During the seventh autorotation, the landing approach that resulted in the accident, the first pilot stated that the second pilot first let the main rotor rpm get too high, then too low, and then let airspeed get low. The first pilot again took control and applied engine power, but this time, as the ground approached more rapidly than before due to recovery from a low airspeed and low rpm condition, the second pilot "began to scream" and interfered with the first pilot's control by pulling up on the collective. The first pilot could not overpower him, the rotor rpm decayed further, and a hard landing resulted. The first pilot reported there were no mechanical problems with the helicopter. The second pilot reported that, as he initiated the final autorotation, the first pilot said "hold on, hold on," and the second pilot thought he was again taking the controls and relinquished them to him. As the helicopter continued the descent, the first pilot continued to say "hold on, hold on," and the second pilot became worried because the ground approached rapidly and the low rpm horn had been on for several seconds. When the second pilot realized they were going to crash and the first pilot wasn't doing anything to arrest the situation, he (the second pilot) took the controls and tried to flare and pulled full up collective to cushion the landing.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

I would like to know from different people what is the rarest duck or goose that you have killed or seen in the wild in the state?
My personal one would be a tie between seeing my father kill a red breasted goose in Dover in 1995 and me seeing a mandarin drake at Dunbar Cave in Clarksville around the same year.
A side note on the goose, when I retrieved the goose my father killed I noticed it had a wing clip on it with between 6-10 numbers but no way of calling or writing about it. Anyone ever seen anything like this??

She has few enemies. She hates to fight but if confronted she will stand her ground and stick up for herself. She is multi talented and is up for trying new things.

Designed to handle your DSLR and three lenses, it will also hold your 15" (38.1 cm) laptop in its own separate, removable compartment. The compartment contains a strap to hold the computer in its place.
The Union Street is made from a durable cotton canvas that has been treated with a special wax that will stand up to the demands of the photographer who spends much time outdoors. ONA has even added leather detail to the base for added durability to the bag. All of this is accented with antique brass hardware to give the bag an even classier, old-world feeling.
Inside, you have five adjustable dividers with which to customize the contents. The soft interior lining will not damage your gear. Store your DSLR with lens attached, up to three extra lenses, flash and accessories. The front zippered pocket is perfect for holding your wallet or other small accessories such as keys, pens, cell phone, cables, batteries, memory cards, loose change or business cards.
Carry the Union Street by its adjustable shoulder strap with its wide pad or top grab handle. Close it up with the dual front buckles that are reminiscent of shoulder bags from decades ago. For the photographer who is tired of standard shoulder bags, this one will set you apart from the crowd as well as being functional and elegant.

Get Honk!
By Math Game House LLC
Fight the battle against meter maids! And for only a buck, you will save hundreds on parking tickets with this one iPhone app. With alerts and GPS, you and your car will be armed against the worry of potential parking fees. Excuses no longer necessary!
The Recapp Rating
5/5 Stars
|Get Honk! + Add to Favs
Chances are you don't really have a friendly relationship with your neighborhood meter maid. On the scale of occupations that are good for humanity that help spread brotherly love, parking enforcement officer probably ranks near the bottom. They have a quota, and they don't care that you're just one inch in the red or that you're only 30 seconds late to refill your meter. This is war.
And Honk is your secret weapon.
Simply input your meter limit and an alarm is set—as well as a clever GPS marker for your car. Even for those times you're parked without a meter, this app comes in handy. No more aimlessly wandering the parking lot hitting the Panic button, wondering if your car has been stolen.
Better yet, the interface is simple and beautiful. No confusing or eyesore menus to fumble through. If you're paranoid about the meter time, fear not: The app's alarm will go off just like any other alarm, and the countdown appears on the app icon itself, like a widget. A quick glance is all you need. There's no way that pesky meter maid can get you now!
This $0.99 app is likely to save you hundreds of dollars. Even if it prevents only one parking ticket in your future, it will have paid for itself many times over.
So the next time you get back to your car just in the nick of time, don't be surprised to find a disappointed meter maid waiting. Just tell them, "Sorry. There's nothing I can do." You owe them a few.

Who will be the next D1 men's lacrosse team? It's a question the entire lacrosse community has asked time and time again. When a new team is added, it tends to fuel the conversation. Brian Conlon, of LaxKingsTV, is back on LAS with his argument on why one of FOUR teams will be the next to go D1!
Baseball, TV budgets, startup costs, and the fact that the Big10 has sponsored a conference will have nothing to do with it. All of the Big10 and PAC12 athletic departments you named would be better suited from a business standpoint by devoting funds to a known breadwinner in football. Why shake the dice on lax? Sporadic D1 growth will be confined to mid-majors with continuation of relatively more rapid expansion of D2/D3 teams as has been seen in recent years.ahhyesrs said:
I believe that Lacrosse will expand between now & 2020. I think expansion would happen with the major conferences due to Television budgets exploding in the next few years. The B1G has already sponsored a conference so we can see Minnesota, MSU, Purdue or an Indiana starting D1 Lacrosse. Expansion in the South and West will be the greatest where Pac 12 schools and SEC / ACC schools joining the fray. The great thing about having a D1 lacrosse program is that the start-up fees are much less than other sports (you can use a football practice field for Lacrosse). Look for USC, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, ASU & UCLA to start programs. The first four programs have Women's Lacrosse and Colorado does not sponsor Baseball. I can also see Colorado State in both Men's & Women's Lacrosse going the route of a Michigan where they have strong support and winning programs. With schools building $100 Million Athletic facilities within the next few years, 1-2 Million to start up Lacrosse is a small amount to get the fastest growing sport in the US today.
This is how it would have to be out west. I dont think any of the big football schools (Pac-12) will add any time soon unless there are some earthshaking changes in the structure of college sports. But even then I just dont see them justifying spending so much money on a sport that really wont amount to much in return.mudd said:
In the West having a single conference to reduce travel costs would be optimal.
The WCC is a conference with many of the schools having MCLA programs in place. Only two, USD and BYU, have the Title IX burden of football. The conference has a history of flexibility of adding schools, or allowing schools to play sports in other conferences, such as football.
This structure would allow a Chapman, Stanford, or Sonoma State type school to participate.
Ram,ramslax17 said:
i think either Colorado or CSU would add it next. they are both extremely successful at the club level and they have a pretty good local talent pool to draw from. i also think that BYU would be another good candidate to add lacrosse. finally, i think that more big ten schools will add it because it is sponsored now. chief among the big ten schools to add lacrosse is Michigan State because a) they used to have a varsity program b) it would be another sport in the Michigan/Michigan State rivalry, and c) there is now a conference championship to compete for

How to clean my dull, streaky laminate flooring?
I have laminate flooring and in trying to clean it, I have left it dull and full of streaks. I have made countless attempts to restore it with no results. Does anybody have any advise for me?
1 Answers
Streaking on laminate floors is usually due to using dirty mop water with a dirty mop. Sometimes it is because of the cleaner you are using too.
Do you have wood-laminate or other laminate flooring?
Without seeing what you are using, the best advice I can give is to change your mop or mop head. I hate those flat mops. For a good mop that is cheap, Libman makes a Wonder Mop that has microfiber strips. You can get a Wonder Mop for around $10 - $15. You can wash and re-use the mop head or just buy replacements. (The mop I most prefer is not the Libman, but I use Libman in a pinch. My favorite mop a Spin Mop, but it costs about $40.)
Also, you really need to use clean mop water. If you are mopping and see your water turning brown or black, you need to stop and change your mop water. Keep doing this until the water runs clean after you mop.
Don't use a sudsy cleaner on your floors. That stuff always streaks. I always use the Method Lemon-Ginger floor cleaner for non-wood laminate floors. For wood laminate floors, use Method's Almond Wood Floor Cleaner.
Good luck. Feel free to contact me with any other questions: email@example.com.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida State Attorney's Office dropped charges of second degree felony murder in the case of two burglary suspects.
This new development came after the Florida State Attorney's Office "learned that the information in the reports was incomplete or inaccurate." The Lee County Sheriff's Office says they're conducting an internal investigation into the situation.
The case unfolded in July 2009 when Adrian Powell and David Newsome allegedly committed a burglary in Fort Myers. Police were dispatched to investigate the call and a car chase ensued.
During the course of the chase, an undercover vehicle driven by Deputy Timothy Galloway collided with a civilian's vehicle. Mateo Matias, the driver, died in the crash. Second degree felony murder charges were filed as a result.
According to the State Attorney's office, "The defendants, Powell and Newsome, were charged with second degree felony murder even though they did not actually kill the deceased victim, Mr. Mateo. The second degree felony murder statute places legal responsibility on those who are committing or escaping from the immediate scene of certain specified felony crimes for a death that is inflicted during the event by a non-perpetrator of the felony. Burglary is one of the specified crimes.
"The charge in this case was based on the reports provided which indicated that Powell and Newsome were in immediate flight from a residential burglary, and that Mateo was killed in a crash with a sheriff's vehicle that was responding in an attempt to assist in their apprehension.
"The investigative reports provided by the sheriff's office advised that the vehicle Powell and Newsome were in, a short time after the burglary, matched the description of the vehicle provided by the burglary victim. It was further indicated that the burglary victim was "unable" to identify the suspects, but that one of the suspects made admissions to being involved in the burglary. We have now learned that the information in the reports was incomplete or inaccurate.
"Although the burglary victim reported the burglars as being in a black Nissan SUV, which is what Powell and Newsome were in, the victim actually provided further detailed information. Specifically, the victim advised that the vehicle was a black Nissan Pathfinder, and provided a license plate number. Powell and Newsome were in a Nissan Armada, with a different license plate.
"Further, when the burglary victim was brought to the location where the Armada was stopped, he was not merely "unable" to identify Newsome, but directly indicated that Newsome was not one of the people involved in the burglary of his home.
"As Powell had already been taken from the scene to the hospital, the burglary victim never viewed him directly. Unknown from the reports, however, he was apparently taken to the Lehigh substation to view a photographic lineup. Unfortunately, this lineup was not preserved as evidence or provided to us, nor can we positively determine which detective was directly involved with this. The victim now indicates to us that he could not identify anyone from the photographs he viewed.
"What we do know is that despite the similarity of vehicle, and regardless of any other criminal offenses that Powell and Newsome may have been involved in on this or other occasions, the burglary victim said on the day of the offense, and continues to say now, that Newsome is not one of the burglars he saw at his home. He further indicates now that the Armada they were in was not the vehicle the burglars had at his home. The alleged "confession" made by Newsome is now also shown to be inconsistent with the physical evidence at the crime scene.
"The felony murder charge requires us to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Powell and Newsome committed the burglary. Based on the evidence now known, especially the burglary victim's testimony that Newsome was not involved, and the vehicle they were in was not the same as the one he saw at the scene, we cannot meet this burden and therefore cannot go forward with the charge.
"Had the totality of the facts been known at the time of the charging decision, this charge would likely not have been brought to begin with. Even if the Armada they were in was stolen (as was alleged, but not proven by the reports) this would not be one of the specified felonies that could legally support the murder charge. While Powell and Newsome may have committed other criminal offenses, our inability to prove that they committed the specific burglary involved in this case legally precludes the felony murder charge."
Victim's family issues statement
The family of the victmi, Mateo Matias has issued the following statement:
"Earlier today, the family of Mateo Matias, deceased, learned that the State will drop felony murder charges against two defendants that were chased and captured by the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO).
"Mr. Matias was killed when he was broadsided by Deputy Timothy Galloway. Deputy Galloway was off-duty just prior to the start of the chase and he was in an unmarked SUV. The Deputy was miles away from the chase at the time of the crash.
"Mr. Matias' wife of 40 years, his 10 children, and many grandchildren, continue to mourn the loss of their loved one. These last minute revelations uncovered by the State Attorney's Office confirm that the collision was both preventable and was the tragic result of the LCSO's unjustified actions."

hmm..without any friction the total sum i.e mechanical energy would still remain same but constant and there would be no losses ..as bob moves to its highest potential its KE gets converted to PE and as it is at its reference position the PE gets converted to max KE or i could say you can see the the bob with it highest VELOCITY it can achieve during its swinging period ..but as i said no losses the pendulum won't stop swinging.. it would move indefinitely until an external force such as friction is appiled..!! hope this would help .. correct me if i am wrong..:)

Leave me alone! – Post-mortem
I'm really enjoying the post-mortems, so here I go too. I made a pretty standard Zelda-like game and it was my first ever LD48. You can play it online or check out the submission page.
What went right:
- Postnatal: I spent most of the time building the engine, and even though some shortcuts were made (mainly the Level Design one below), a lot of aspects of the engine were quite robust and really nice to work with. If you get this right, adding a diverse set of game elements is easy (for instance, the concept of potions took me 5 minutes too add, including making it something monsters can drop and making it available in the town store. I guess my point is that if you take too many shortcuts, when LD48 ends, that will be the end of your game, you're never going to want to touch that code again. If you make more of an effort to build a sturdy system, the 48 h session might just be the birth of your game and your post-mortem examination will instead be a postnatal one. I'm pretty pleased with my game in this aspect, but there are many improvements I can make until next time.
- Smooth sailing: I like building everything from scratch, so I only had 160×120 pixels to work with, and I did all the pixel manipulation manually. Sure, this meant implementing for instance alpha composition from scratch when I wanted to have that, but I think those things are fun so I didn't mind that. This also meant that after the canvas was set up, I had complete control of everything. Getting stuck on API stuff can be frustrating, so I'm glad I was able to keep that to a minimum (I got screwed over on sound though, check below).
- Fun factor: I know the fun factor is quite limited, but there were some shimmers in there, and I did catch my girlfriend playing the game several times on Monday (quote: "Okay, this time I'm going to try to complete it with only a steel sword"). I'm really pleased with the enemies and how much technique counts. Also, even if you know the best technique, it still needs precision and skill to carry out.
What went wrong:
- Sound: My sound threads were piling up on me, causing the game to crash. I eventually had to take it all out, even though all sounds were ready. Lesson: make a more thorough warm-up round if you're using unfamiliar tools.
- Level design: I didn't have any software for this, and even though the forests are generated, I wanted to create the city and the houses myself. It was either going to be an image or a text file. I went with a text file, so I could easily throw in some some additional information, etc. Much more familiar with text parsing in Python than Java, I decided to just go ahead and acknowledge that some shortcuts have to be made, so I wrote the parser in Python and made it spit out Java code. It was fast, but now afterwards I feel really dirty generating Java code. Lesson: Take some shortcuts, but not major ones like this. It made me feel less proud of my final product, no shortcut is worth that.
- Name: With 700 entries, you have to be more original than "Leave me alone!". Also, I must've been crazy thinking I had a pretty original idea when I decided to have a person who wanted to be alone (as opposed to the more obvious not wanting to be alone).
- Time for final touches: It was really hectic at the end, and I left a few things hanging. The houses in the city are completely undecorated, even though I even had made at least a bookcase sprite that never made it into the game. Adding them is a matter of minutes, but the final hour stress got the better of me. I also had 4 ready sprites for a bomb that never made it into the game, even though it probably would've taken like 10 minutes. I also had a lot more in mind for cool effects. I had for instance written a blur effect, that could've been used as scene transition, when hurt, or something like that. It was all ready to be used, but you forget all about that when time is up. Lesson: Leave more time at the end! Or at least, if you make an effect/image that you'll "put in later", just put it in right away instead. I even had a 10×10 pixel kitten that I forgot to put in! FUUUUUUUU
Leave me alone!
I finished my game called "Leave me alone!". I spent about 95% of the time building the engine from scratch and 5% on making it fun and balanced. This is the wrong decision if you want to make a fun game and the right decision if you want to have fun coding. Luckily, it still turned out pretty fun (well, you be the judge of that). You can get it here: http://g.sweyla.com/ld48/22/
I have never participated before, but last LD48 I was watching Notch's livestream while programming a little game over the course of 8 hours. This time I'm in it for real.
I really like building the engine from scratch, so I'm going to do it Notch style, and use only a basic Java canvas and manipulate pixels manually.
- Java
- Eclipse
- cfxr
- Pixelmator (I know, definitely not ideal for pixel graphics. Any suggestion for a Mac user?)
I was considering HTML5/JS too. I have tried several ways of creating a fast low-res canvas (but scaled up), but I'm not pleased with the results. Resizing each pixel manually did not yield the frame rate I was hoping for. Ideally, I'd like to scale up the canvas using nearest-neighbor interpolation, but I have yet to get this to work across all browsers (Safari doesn't seem to respond as it should to -webkit-optimize-contrast).
Anyway, something tells me I need to go and learn how to draw kittens now.

A local Criminal Court judge has loosened his previous gag order in a death penalty case that prevented the accused from speaking to the media.
Judge Barry Steelman issued the order Friday, responding to Times Free Press attorney Anthony "Bud" Jackson's request that the judge lift a recent gag order on defendant Jesse Mathews.
Mathews, 27, awaits a January trial on charges that he killed Chattanooga police Sgt. Tim Chapin on April 2, 2011 during a Brainerd Road botched robbery.
The recent ruling allows Mathews to speak with the media through his attorneys, Lee Davis and Bryan Hoss. The previous order barred him from speaking to media in any form.
Jackson said Monday that he appreciates Steelman's actions and partial lift of the gag order but doesn't think it fully protects First Amendment rights. He said he would review options with the newspaper.
In August, Steelman ruled in an emergency hearing that Mathews could not speak to the media and that attorneys and courts personnel could not make public comments about the case.
Prosecutors Bill Cox and Neal Pinkston requested the gag order after Times Free Press columnist David Cook was granted a jailhouse interview with Mathews.
Jackson argued in an Aug. 30 hearing that the gag order prevented legitimate news gathering by "prior restraint" of free speech.
Pinkston and Cox argued that allowing Mathews to speak with the media could prejudice potential jurors. The attorneys are selecting a jury from Davidson County to avoid jurors who may have been exposed to local media coverage of Chapin's death and Mathews' court appearances.

| An
"upright", hopeful man
The gospel calls Joseph an "upright" man.
He was upright because, like his neighbors at Nazareth, he observed all the Jewish laws.
But not from lip service.
Joseph firmly believed in his heart in the God of Israel, who loved all things great and small, yes, even Nazareth and a humble carpenter.
An inward man, Joseph saw in the simple, ordinary world about him more than others saw.
His neighbor casting seed on the family field he loved - was not God's passionate love for the land of Israel like that?
Even as he built a village house or a table, his thoughts sometimes turned to another world: was not God building a kingdom for his people?
An inward man, Joseph saw beyond the fields and mountains of the small town of Nazareth, but he said little about his inmost dreams to others.
A quiet man, he kept his own counsel.
Someone someday, perhaps, would understand.
Nor would he say much of something else that made him proud: his descent from King David.
His family could trace its ancestry through generations back to the Shepherd King of Bethlehem, one ofIsrael's great heroes. By Joseph's time, David's descendants were many, but Jewish tradition said that one day the Messiah would be born from one of David's family. The carpenter could not forget a promise such as that.

Evolution of a Successful Spring-Driven, Broadcast-Quality Tape Recorder
The intricacies of adapting spring phonograph motors to tape transport applications, and the use of subminiature dry-battery record-reproduce amplifiers throw into focus some of the more obscure problems of tape machines and their somewhat unorthodox solutions. Described are characteristics of flyweight governors, a transport wherein the take-up drive is inherent in the tape drive, effects of curved tapes on open flange winding, a mechanical wow and flutter filter, and a method of judging the frequency response fidelity of any given microphone-amplifier combination.

Ok, so we didn't actually spot 26 year old Laura Jones at Frieze – it was on Style Hunter's route home – BUT just how cool is her outfit? We couldn't have ignored her artful (and kinda Guns 'n' Roses inspired) layering of a vintage leather gilet over a soft silky open shirt dress, American Apparel skinnies and a second hand tee. Add in some super-thick creepers and a silk headscarf and we're in girl-crush territory. So what do you like about Laura's top-notch look? Do tell!

NEW YORK — Jason Heyward hit two of a record nine homers at the new Yankee Stadium and the Atlanta Braves outslugged the New York Yankees for a 10-5 victory in the sweltering heat Wednesday.
Freddie Freeman, Martin Prado, Heyward and David Ross all connected off Phil Hughes (7-6) to build a 6-1 lead on a sticky, 94-degree afternoon.
Michael Bourn stole what could have been another home run from Jayson Nix after missing an earlier opportunity for a try at a leaping grab.
Alex Rodriguez hit his 640th career homer, and Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter and Eric Chavez all hit long balls against Tommy Hanson (8-4). The Yankees managed little else in their second straight loss after a 10-game winning streak.

Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index2014-08-08
The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) was developed by the NCC through the Regional Competitiveness Committees (RCCs) with the assistance of the INVEST Project of USAID. City and municipality data used in the CMCI were voluntarily submitted by the RCCs. Itfeatured a record number of 136 cities and 399 municipalities, up from 122 cities and 163 municipalities in the pilot run in 2013. For Romblon, topping is Odiongan followed by Looc, San Fernando, Cajidiocan, Alcantara, Romblon and Calatrava, respectively.
Economic Dynamism scores were based on data on the size and growth of the local economy as measured by business registrations, capital, revenues, and occupancy permits; capacity to generate employment; cost of living; cost of doing business; financial deepening; productivity; and presence of business and professional organizations. Government Efficiency scores were based on data on transparency scores, economic governance scores, local taxes and revenues, local competition-related awards, business registration efficiency, investment promotion, compliance to national directives, security, health, and education. Infrastructure scores were based on data on existing road network, distance from city/municipality center to major ports, Department of Tourism-accredited accommodations, health infrastructure, education infrastructure, basic utilities, infrastructure investments, ICT connection, ATMs, and public transportation.
Ona Inaugurates New Hospital Buidings in Romblon2014-04-11
Odiongan, Romblon - Secretary of Health Enrique T. Ona, with Romblon Governor Eduardo C. Firmalo, Vice Governor Jose R. Riano and Congressman Eleandro Jesus F. Madrona, alongside regional and provincial officials, unveiled the new buildings at the Romblon Provincial Hospital, constructed under the Department of Health's (DOH) Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP).
The objective of the HFEP program is to upgrade health facilities and provide training to health professionals, and improve access of people to quality health care services. It also aims to enhance the delivery of basic, essential, and specialized health services in the community.
The hospital was upgraded and modernized under the DOH-HFEP program with an allotment of P138,243,162.27 in 2010 and 2011 for Phase 1 of the project. It included the repair of the emergency room and intensive care unit, and the construction of a two-storey building for patients' wards, surgery and obstetrics, out-patient department, x-ray and additional offices for hospital staff. In 2012, it received an additional P118,499,301 and P140,000,000 for Phase 2 of the project.
In his inauguration speech, universal health care champion Ona stressed that health is part of the major strategy for poverty reduction and inclusive growth which shall be felt by the poorest of the poor.
'Government hospitals are for the people and if one does not like to be admitted or conf?ned in such facilit?es, then there must be something wrong. In short, whether it is a government or private hospital, it must be best for all - the services must be the same, the facilities must be, in terms of diagnosis and curative aspects, must be the same. This concept is affirmed today, that public hospitals are not dilapidated but presentable,' Ona said.
The health chief was hailed 'Father of Modern Health Facilities of the Philippines' by the newly-appointed DOH-MIMAROPA Regional Director, Dr. Eduardo Januario.
The Romblon Provincial Hospital is a Level 1 health facility, with a 75-bed capacity and a 63 percent bed occupancy rate. It is operated by the provincial government of Romblon.
According to hospital records, there were a total of 4,883 admissions in 2013, excluding the newborn. It also administered a total of 378 newborn screening tests, and discharged a total of 4,749 patients (alive). It provided in-patient service to a total of 17,250 patients. It caters to an average of 45 patients daily.
Among its existing ancillary services includes a clinical laboratory for blood services, pharmacy, diagnosis, and x-ray and ultrasound services.
'We thank the national government through the DOH for supporting our health programs especially facility development which is a vital necessity for a geographically isolated and disadvantaged area (GIDA) like the archipelagic province of Romblon,' said Governor Eduardo C. Firmalo, a medical doctor himself.
'One of our top priorities is health as embodied in our program H.E.A.R.T. - health, education and environment, agriculture, revenue generation, tourism, transparency and true public service - all for the people of Romblon towards sustainable and inclusive development,' added Firmalo.
Lone district of Romblon Representative Eleandro Jesus F. Madrona expressed his happiness that Firmalo managed to encourage private doctors to become consultants for Romblon's hospitals.
'We need this kind of facility and we want our people to have the best health care through this facility towards a better life and we will support any measure that will increase the salary rates of our doctors,' Madrona said.
Madrona assured that the funding for the Phase 3 of the hospital shall be appropriated in the 2015 national budget.
With a population of 289,867, Romblon is one of the provinces under DOH Region IV-B. According to the region's 2013 Vital Health Indices, the province has a 19.68% (5,706) live birth and 5.32% (1,541) death rate. The leading causes of mortality in the province are heart diseases, pneumonia, cancer, cerebro vascular accidents, and hypertension.
'This hospital is the symbol of hope for the people of Romblon - proof of the Aquino administration's commitment to the universal health care program for all,' said Hospital Chief Dr. Benedict Anatalio.
Also inaugurated were the Romblon Blood Collection Unit and the Conference Hall.
Other personalities present during the ceremonies were the vice mayors of Romblon, barangay officials of Odiongan town, Provincial Health Officer Ederlina Aguirre, and various health workers in the province.
Roxas Inaugurates DILG projects in Romblon2014-04-07
Odiongan, Romblon - Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas visited Romblon yesterday (April 4) to inaugurate three major projects, including the P9-million Provincial Convention Center in Odiongan town, funded by the DILG's Performance Challenge Fund (PCF).
The DILG chief said local officials of Romblon were able to match the P7 million of the PCF subsidy, effectively doubling it. Out of this total of P14 million, P9 million was spent for the convention center while the balance of P5 million was utilized to fund six other projects in different towns throughout the province.

"Ang mga proyekto na ito sa Odiongan at iba pang lugar sa Romblon ay patunay na patuloy na bibigyan ng pagkilala ng Pangulong Aquino ang mga lokal na pamahalaan na nakikiisa sa tuwid na daan," Roxas said.
"Ang mga biniyayaang munisipalidad ay nakapasa sa criteria ng Seal of Good Governance ng DILG bago sila mabigyan ng PCF. Ang ibig-sabihin nito, nakapagpakita sila ng transparency, accountability, at good governance, kaya sila kinikilala," he added.

Aside from the provincial convention center (also called the 'Farmer's Training Center), the DILG chief inaugurated the P1 million Odiongan Covered Court which was completed through the P1 million cash incentive under the Gawad Pamana ng Lahi award given by the DILG. Odiongan was chosen as regional winner for the Gawad Pamana ng Lahi award in 2011.
Later, Roxas inaugurated the opening of the concretized Formilleza Street in Odiongan which is also a recipient of P1-million in PCF for having passed the Silver Grade Seal of Good Governance earlier this year.
The DILG chief led the ceremonial awarding of PCF checks to eight Romblon mayors from the towns of Banton, Cajidiocan, Calatrava, Corcuera, Look, Odiongan, San Augustin, and Sta. Maria.

'This activity recognizes the excellent performance in local governance of said mayors," Roxas, who personally awarded the big replicas of the PCF checks, said.
Governor Eduardo C. Firmalo expressed his gratitude to the DILG chief for visiting Romblon during the annual fiesta of the province's business hub, Odiongan.
'As Romblon continues to move forward on the right path of sustainable development, we thank our national government for recognizing our efforts in good local governance,' Firmalo said.
'We commit to adhere by the highest standards of public service which is inclusive and genuine because Romblomanons deserve what is due to them - a healthy environment, best education, sustainable agriculture, high revenue, and transparency in governance,' he added.
Firmalo stressed that the provincial government will strive to be one of the best in the MIMAROPA region - the destination of choice.
Joining Roxas were Oriental Mindoro Governor Alfonso Umali and Palawan Governor Jose Alvarez who also graced the 2014 Paraw Regatta, a banca sail competition pre-event for the annual Kanidugan Festival. They also visited the Odiongan Public Market and the on-going Provincial Agri-Trade Fair.

Romblon elected officials take oath2013-07-02
The Team PNoy coalition, composed of the Nacionalista Party (NP) and the Liberal Party (LP), won a landslide victory in the May elections.
Lawyer Eleandro Jesus Madrona, an NP stalwart, was re-elected congressman for his last term in the House of Representatives. He garnered over 75 percent of votes cast and beat former governor Natalio Beltran III of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).
Sworn into office by Gov. Eduardo Firmalo, Madrona pledged to continue his service for the barangays, the youth and the poor.
"For the first time in the history of the province, there is neither majority nor minority nor opposition in the province. We will work as a team, as we promised our people. We are committed to work for our development and to fully serve our constituents," he said.
Firmalo, of the LP, was also re-elected, garnering over 75 percent of the total votes cast against UNA's Bernie Fondevilla. The governor took his oath before Madrona.
"In just three years, our province reached financial and economic stability, promoted transparency and good governance receiving praises and awards at the regional and national levels. We are one team from congress down to our barangays, we shall continue to go forward through agricultural development, food security and eco-tourism - all these toward sustainable development," he said.
Sworn into office by Judge Edwin Buffe, businessman Jose Riano of the LP was proclaimed vice governor after he trounced his predecessor, Manuel Madrid of the NP, and independent candidate Jose Cesar Cabrera.
"I am not actually the victorious one because you, as a people, won for the future of the province of Romblon for the success of the coalition is the success of Romblomanons," said Riano in his inaugural speech.
The members of the provincial board - Samuel Romero, Anthony Rugas, Abner Perez, Nelson Lim, Felix Ylagan, Juliet Fiel, Venizar Maravilla and Andrew Fondevilla - also took their oath.
Guest Post: Giant Clam Restocking2012-09-28
Giant clams are the largest bivalve mollusks, hermaphroditic (both male and female reproductive organs), filter feed, and have symbiotic organisms living in its mantle, zooxanthellae. There are 8 species of giant clams (7 of which are found in the Philippines). Threats include natural predation, poaching, siltation, wave action, bleaching, and irresponsible actions of humans.
SIKAT Inc. has taken action to address these threats by working with the Romblon Municipal Department of Agriculture and local fisherfolk. Together they protect giant clam populations in the waters surrounding Romblon Island under Philippine Republic Act 9147 "As an Act Providing for the Conservation and Protection of Wildlife Resources and their Habitats, Appropriating Funds therefore and for other Purposes".
Local divers working with SIKAT participate by collecting giant clams from outside the marine sanctuaries and centralizing them in one location so they can be better monitored by the Bantay Dagat (Community-based Coastal Law Enforcement Team). This also increases the likelihood that the clams will reproduce, since they are being restocked closer together. Each clam is tagged and the growth is monitored regularly.A giant clam found in the coastal waters of Ginablan outside of the established sanctuaryVolunteer divers with SIKAT Inc. collect giant clams to be measured, tagged, and placed inside the marine sanctuary to be protected and monitoredGiant clams are measured and tagged under the water if they are attached to the substrate to prevent stress and harm to the giant clamsIf giant clams are able to be brought to the surface, the community helps measure and tag the giant clams before restocking them into the sanctuaryThe breeding cycle area depends on the number of giant clams. Four giant clams are placed in sandy or silty substrate at five meter intervals along a transect line. They are organized by species, and within each species, the sperm and eggs should come from different clams to promote high genetic diversity

Wow, that was some fun Sunday night.
A few hours after the game, I recapped the Magic's win over the Lakers and all the emotion wrapped up in it on the fourth episode of the Orlando Magic Daily Podcast. Feel free to give it a listen!
I kind of do not even want to play tonight's game against the hot Warriors. It probably will not bring down this fan base.

It's something you don't really think about, but burning trash the wrong way could lead to serious injuries.
"It's very scary and very dangerous," said Alton Trahan, Lafayette Fire Department Investigator.
This past year, Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center saw an increase in the number of patients who were severely burned by trash burning. It was the second most common cause of burns seen in their one-year-old burn unit.
"The majority are second degree burns and we see them from head to toe,"said Dr. Joey Barrios of Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center.
So why is it causing some much injury?
The problem is when you use gasoline for burning trash. No matter how far away you may be from the fire, you are still in a very dangerous situation.
"When the wind is blowing towards you the fumes and vapor linger. Once igniting, it's going to flash and often catch the clothes on fire," said Trahan.
The proper way to burn trash is to first, find a safe area to do it that isn't very windy. Then, make sure everything is piled together and use paper to start the fire.
"Be careful what you're burning. Certain products like plastics,can actually get airborne and perhaps stick to the skin and create some serious burns as well," said Trahan.
The reason why some people use gasoline to burn their trash is because they want to speed up the burning process. The Fire Department does say, however, that it is better to burn trash slowly, then to be caught in a dangerous situation.

CD Review: Fishtank Ensemble – Samurai over Serbia
This is the last thing you want to have playing if you're trying to fall asleep. It's pure adrenaline: there hasn't been anything this viscerally exciting playing around here since Ivo Papasov's new one came over the transom. It's a safe guess that listening to this cd burns calories. Fishtank Ensemble's shtick is that they add Asian spice to gypsy music, primarily via Mike Penny's shamisen, a Japanese lute with a brittle, slightly more piercing tone than a koto. The band's not-so-secret weapon is violinist/chanteuse Ursula Knudson, whose ability to project all the way to the top of her spectacular range is nothing short of exhilarating. Rachelle Garniez fans will notice a similarity, particularly on the jazzier numbers.
The cd kicks off with the fast traditional gypsy dance, Saraiman, Knudson adding passionate vocals with some rapidfire vibrato. The second cut, Turkish March takes a familiar Mozart piece back to its roots at an extremely entertaining, lickety-split clip. Knudson adds a sprightly ragtime feel to the gypsy swing number Tchavo. Face the Dragon features its composer, violinist Fabrice Martinez trading off atmospheric sheets of sound with Penny's spiky shamisen and a nifty little bass solo by upright bassist Djordje Stijepovic. A homage to Paco de Lucia written by guitarist Douglas Smolens, Gitanos Californeros sets a frenetic gypsy violin chart against smoldering flamenco guitars, Knudson upping the dramatic ante as the piece builds. Spirit Prison, a first-person, tongue-in-cheek account of life in the loony bins comes across as a hybrid of Carol Lipnik phantasmagoria matched to the purist oldtimey ragtime charm of the Moonlighters. Nice upper-register singing saw solo from Knudson too! They follow it with the eerie, shape-shifting Fraima, originally performed by Opa Cupa.
The Kurt Weill song Youkali is a showcase for Knudson in legit mode, followed by the whirling traditional dance Ezraoul, fueled by the raw intensity of Martinez' violomba. After the the swinging pulse of Mehum Mato, the title track blasts along with a firestorm of fretwork from the shamisen and the violins, with the rest of the band eventually joining the melee: Dick Dale or a similarly talented surf guitarist would have a field day with this. The cd winds up with the Extremely Large Congenial Romanian, by accordionist Aaron Seeman, more singing saw and vocalese from Knudson, and a bonus track, Yasaburo Bushi, a ferocious Japanese folksong arrangement by Penny. Listen to this all the way through – this is a long cd, many of the songs clocking in at a good seven minutes – and then try breathing lightly. Impossible. A lock for our Best Albums of 2009 list at the end of the year.

Preppy t-shirts mocking 'Occupy' movement cater to 1%
Preppy clothing company Vineyard Vines recently sent the Internet buzzing when bloggers discovered the company's 'occupy' themed t-shirt.
Featuring a signature pink whale over the word 'occupy' on the front pocket, the back of the $35 t-shirt shows a beach-goer resting in a tent on the beach. Apparently mocking of the Occupy movement, the beach is filled with signs reading "More ice for the cooler!" "More cheeseburgers" and "More time on the water!" At the bottom it reads "Every day should feel this good" with another whale cameo.
The Gloss is no fan of these t-shirts, saying that the Occupy Wall Street movement addressing "real and serious" issues: "poverty, lack of jobs, lack of access to healthcare, and a lack of proper safeguards against investment banks screwing up the economy, to name a few. People are actually dying because of some of these things."
Martha's Vineyard -based Vineyard Vines has long been a favorite of the wealthier class searching for the good life. Making light of the movement through products like this shirt "seems like rubbing it in unnecessarily. A "let them eat cake" moment, if you will."
Finally commenting on the backlash, Vineyard Vines said the company was "intrigued by the sudden burst of interest" as the shirt has been available for "a while." Co-founders and brothers Shep and Ian Murphy sent a statement in to The Washington Post:
We left our corporate jobs in Manhattan to pursue the American Dream. With a lot of hard work and perseverance, our business continues to grow and we feel grateful everyday to our employees and loyal customers.
Everyone who knows us knows us [sic] we'd rather be on the beach than behind our desks, hence the inspiration for our "Occupy" design. As businessmen, we understand the severity of the economic climate and its impact on the industry. However, by nature we are lighthearted and never take ourselves too seriously.
While the founders were making the move in accordance with their company culture, perhaps it wasn't the best way to bring in new customers. The shirt is no longer live on the company's site, but images can be seen at Stylite.
What are your thoughts on the decision to sell or pull the shirt? If you've shopped at Vineyard Vines before, does this impact your customer loyalty?
