Fergie Sells Out For Candie's
Fergie was looking very chic while shopping in Paris yesterday. We're loving her little metallic dress, but the shoes are a bit aggressive for us. Speaking of shoes, Fergie just signed a $4 million contract to sing about Candie's. Her next album will incorporate the shoes into some of her songs in a way that apparently won't be totally obvious to the listener. It's one thing to pose in their ads but another to incorporate her sponsor in her songs. Sounds a bit like selling out to me.
More of Fergie out and about in Paris, so just read more

Bootstrap: Most Powerful Front-end Framework for Faster & Easier Web Development
Bootstrap is Simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for popular user interface components and interactions. Previously, it was much more descriptive to the framework's contents, and thus quite long and wordy. We wanted to convey the technical details properly heading into 2.0.0 (when we changed the tagline), but without the bulk. Instead, we focus on the roles Bootstrap can assist folks with: HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Any other description is fine, but I wanted to share some insight into the official tagline just for context.

A quick technical question-
I have two queries that output some of the same data. For example, lets say that both queries have column X and Y, and each one has one row with some data in each column. So, we have cell X1 and cell Y1 in each query.
How would I go about appending the two queries such that there are still two columns, X and Y, but two rows?

WWE Hall of Fame: The Celebrity Wing
Doesn't it always seem that Professional Wrestling seeks the approval from the mainstream media? For years, the pseudo sport has always used celebrities from other sports and forms of entertainment. Some have been successful, some not so much, but the goal of every "stunt casting" was always to broaden their appeal and attract a new audience. The WWE Hall of Fame created a celebrity wing to honor such individuals; again with the hope of attracting attention. Currently, the "wing" only houses Baseball legend Pete Rose, and one year phenom, William "The Refrigerator" Perry. We at NIHOF aren't exactly thrilled with idea of a celebrity wing, but since it exists, we feel that we have come up with a list of five potential inductees for the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame.

Out of all of the candidates, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney owns the most real estate, including a townhouse in Boston and this beachfront home in La Jolla, Calif.
Romney bought the home in May, 2008 for $12 million, according to public records. Now, he is planning a massive overhaul of the place.
The Spanish-style home is on a cul-de-sac with direct access to the beach. There are plenty of luxury features like a secluded patio with a lap pool, spa and a chef's kitchen.
Zillow currently values the home at $9.6 million, but that's about to change. Romney has filed an application with the city to tear down the 3,000-square-foot, single-story property and build a more than 8,000-square-foot, three-story home, according to the city of San Diego's development services department.
Certain 2012 candidates are worth hundreds of millions, others far less.

This book illustrates the many facets of our daily life according the Quran and Sunnah. This book is nicely divided into many sections starting with the Book of Purification and ending with the Book of Zakah. Each book is further subdivided into chapters which explain a specific topic in detail. Every effort is made so everything in the book is proven by the Quran and Sunnah.
Volume 1 covers the following books of Fiqh: Purification, Prayer, Fasting and Zakah.
The complete set, 'Al-Lubab Fee Fiqh As-Sunnah Wal-Kitab,' contains all of the books of Islamic Fiqh and its chapters, accompanied by evidence and is presented in a clear and simple manner, in order that they may be understood by the young and the old, without blindly following any of the schools of Jurisprudence, but rather being subject to authentic proofs and following the most authoritative opinions, without fanatical adherence to any particular group. Rather the author agrees with each group when the truth is with them and contradicts them when they veer from that which is correct.
Fiqh is to achieve access to knowledge of that which is unclear through knowledge of that which is proven, so it is more specific than mere knowledge or learning. And fiqh is knowledge of the juristic law. It is said Faquha -A man has acquired understanding and so he has become a Faqeeh (A scholar of Islamic Jurisprudence); and it is said Faqiha - He has understood it, i.e he has attained understanding of it, and it is said Tafaqqaha - he has devoted himself to the acquisition of (Islamic) Knowledge and specialized in it. Fiqh has been a subject of contention among the scholars as well as layman throughout the history of Islam.

This is an excellent book on fiqh mashAllah. Very easy to understand. The footnotes are gold for explaining islamic terminology. All references are given from the Quran and Sunnah as the title suggests. Fiqh is an essential study for those who want to learn their deen thoroughly. I recommend this book to everyone who want to know the "do's and don'ts" of Islam for day to day basis and beyond. Very happy with this purchase!

Hey! We caught one red-handed! (No, Carol. It's not you.)
Continue reading "(Parade) Parking Jerk of the Day! (11/9/2014)" …
Hey! We caught one red-handed! (No, Carol. It's not you.)
Here we go with Part #2 of photos from Sunday's Danville Veterans Day Parade.
This is the first of a series of PhotoCentral articles from Danville's Veterans Day Parade that was held on Sunday, November 9th.
We'll keep adding articles like this throughout the next few days so that you can see how the parade went. Let's get started with the first nine photos.
Parades like today's make me proud to live in Danville. Here come da Thumbs!
Lots of things happened at Thursday night's Danville City Council meeting. Let's think randomly about the bizarre night…
Editor's Note: This article is now complete.
Like we said in our preview article, we've got both the Danville School Board (6PM) and the Danville City Council (7PM) meetings tonight. We're going to try to cover some of the School Board meeting then roll to the City Council meeting, But there's probably going to more "happenings" at the City Council meeting and that's why we're lumping both of these meeting into one article. We may split it up in the editing process. Hey, who knows? No matter what, be sure to refresh this page often for the latest happenings, photos and commentary! It's only LIVE! here on SouthsideCentral… but you already knew that.
Due to the Tuesday elections, Danville City Council's regularly scheduled meeting was moved until tonight at 7PM. The Danville School Board's meeting is tonight at 6PM. Ugh. Let's take a quick look at what's going to happen…
We know what happened. Let's talk about why it happened with a BreakDown that you'll never get from any other media source.
Danville's Confederate Flag's controversy is over. WSET's Tola Adamson should be ashamed for trying to create more.
I was cleaning out my email today and came across this gem. Let's hop in the SouthsideCentral Time Machine and go back to May 17, 2013. Lots of smiling faces are awaiting us…
It's Election Day, and we're doing a Very Special Episode of RandomThoughts! to celebrate. Refresh the page often throughout the day and night to get the latest on what we're thinking about. We'll think about election happenings, election predictions, election results and election everything. Heck, there may be even non-election stuff here. SouthsideCentral is also very active on Twitter today. You can check out our Twitter feed here and feel free to follow us.
Editor's Note: This article is now complete.
We're racing the clock to get to Danville City Hall for the second meeting of the Utilities Steering Committee. Refresh the page often for the latest happening, photos and commentary! The meeting starts at 4PM.
This kind of horrible behavior must stop. Immediately. I'm being serious. Cut it out.
Here's the articles that we've had in the Lynchburg Trip Series so far:
Our final destination for the trip was the Craddock Terry Hotel. Let's take a photo tour of it…
We've told you about the Danville City Council trip to Lynchburg. We've also done a BreakDown on what happened. But now, let's do a BonusCentral on some other photos from that day…
We're heading to South Boston for today's Parking Jerk.
We've already given you commentary and photos on Danville City Council & the Industrial Development Authority's trip to Lynchburg on Thursday, so let's do a BreakDown and look at it much closer.
They're not saying "Boo", they're saying "Bruce"! Let's take a quick look at some news stories that caught my eye.
Editor's Note: This article is now complete. We'll have a BreakDown article to go in-depth on this trip and a bonus photo article.
SouthsideCentral is riding along with Danville City Council and the Industrial Development Authority to tour Lynchburg's redevelopment efforts in their downtown… and you're right here with us! The bus leaves around 12:30 PM and we'll be back in town around 9:00 PM.
Be sure to refresh this page often throughout the day as we'll be adding photos, commentary and what's happening all throughout the trip. We'll clean the article up when we get home and add some bonus coverage. It's the only LIVE! coverage of this, and we're glad you're following along!
We've got two LIVE! events coming up on Thursday, so let's tell you about what's coming up.
UPDATE: Sadly, the victim has died. The press release covering that is now in the article
This statement is just in from South Boston Town Manager Tim Wilson…
In 2013, the Halifax County Industrial Development Authority gave out $133,305.40 in payments under the Enterprise Zone program.
What companies got that money?
Yeah. He seriously thinks that. Hoo Boy.
We've got Thumbs! And they're not stuck up our…

Fighting HIV/AIDS in Washington, DCPosted byon July 25, 2012 at 2:02 PM EST
Washington, DC is host to the 19th International AIDS Conference this week. As leaders from around the world gather to address this global crisis, we reflect on the role of the Social Innovation Fund and our partners in the fight here at home.The Social Innovation Fund was established by the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in 2009 and is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Sarah* had been living with HIV for 10 years when she discontinued her treatment. After witnessing a murder in her neighborhood, she was afraid to leave her house for care. She was isolated, suffering from post-traumatic stress, and had to cope without HIV treatment for more than three years.
A Positive Pathways Community Health Worker discovered Sarah's situation in July 2011 and reached out to her, calling her more than 10 times before she finally responded. With the support of the Health Worker and a medical case manager, Sarah began addressing her post-traumatic stress, secured safe and regular transportation to a treatment site, re-engaged in HIV care, and even received assistance with her housing needs.
Support from Within the Community
In Washington, DC, Community Health Workers are frontline support for hard-to-reach women suffering from untreated HIV and AIDS. Washington AIDS Partnership's innovative Positive Pathways program recruits Health Workers from the city's high-risk communities and trains them to help their neighbors overcome barriers to treatment.
Through the Community Health Worker network, Positive Pathways identifies out-of-care women, builds peer-based trust, teaches them about living with HIV, provides personalized assistance to help them navigate service systems, and supports them throughout the early part of their medical care until they become independently engaged.
Expanding Care to More People
Because of this innovative model for connecting with hard-to-reach women, the Washington AIDS Partnership received a $320,000 Social Innovation Fund grant through AIDS United in 2011. During the first eight months of implementation, the Washington AIDS Partnership contacted 2,367 individuals and enrolled 268 people who had been out of care. With additional funding from the Social Innovation Fund, the program aims to enroll 500 more people.
Nearly 14,500 people live with HIV or AIDS in Washington, DC. For almost half of these people—around 42 percent—there is no evidence that they are in care. Community Health Workers are making critical strides to enhance their health, quality and length of life, while also strengthening our collective efforts toward prevention.
Sarah's story is part of our ongoing effort to highlight how social innovators are strengthening our communities and addressing social needs across the country. We hope stories like this inspire you to think creatively and take action in your own community.
*Sarah's name has been changed to protect her privacy.

Matching Jobseekers to CareersPosted byon July 11, 2012 at 9:46 AM EST
This story highlights the work of the Social Innovation Fund, established by the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in 2009 and administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Travis is a single father of two from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since 2008, Travis had bounced between part-time and temporary jobs. His wages had peaked at around $10 per hour, though he needed at least $12-$14 an hour to support his family. With limited interviewing and workforce experience, he didn't think he would ever find full-time work – let alone have a career.
Travis found a solution when he was referred to Madison Strategies Group's (MSG) WorkAdvance program in August 2011.
Why Does WorkAdvance Work?
Through WorkAdvance, Travis received career counseling, gained interviewing skills, and was referred to full-time jobs with room for advancement. In less than three months, Travis was working for Southwest United Industries as a shipping and receiving clerk making $12 an hour. With the continued support of WorkAdvance, Travis earned a raise in less than one year on the job. He's now earning $14.50 an hour in a stable, full-time position.
The success of the MSG's WorkAdvance program lies in its focus on the needs of employers as well as the needs of jobseekers. When WorkAdvance first opened its doors in Tulsa, it identified transportation as a growth industry with significant labor market and skills gaps. MSG worked with transportation companies to understand their needs. In the process, MSG identified high-quality, career-track job opportunities in the sector and developed programs to prepare adults like Travis to be hired and to excel.
The WorkAdvance model was developed by the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, the NYC Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO), and from research results from several national studies. The model builds on evidence showing that an industry-focused approach to workforce development can improve job placement rates and wages.
Helping People with Mental Illnesses ThrivePosted byon July 5, 2012 at 1:30 PM EST
This story highlights the work of the Social Innovation Fund, established by the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in 2009 and administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Josh, 45, was one of the millions of Americans suffering from a mental illness, but he was not receiving treatment. He was unemployed and living in a halfway house, and he could hardly find the motivation to do the dishes or leave his room.
"I felt I wasn't going anywhere," he said. "I hadn't had a job for a year, and I wasn't a part of anything. I decided I needed to get out and be more active."
That is when Josh turned to Buckelew Programs, a nonprofit organization that, for 40 years, has provided homes, jobs, and hope to people with mental illness.
Working Their Way Back Into Society
An estimated one in four adults in the United States experiences a mental health disorder [1], In addition to the immense personal struggles individuals face, the economic cost of mental illness to the nation is also substantial, including the costs associated with lost productivity
That's why in addition to providing traditional clinical services, Buckelew helps people with mental illnesses build the personal and professional skills they need to succeed and keep steady jobs. Buckelew also hires people like Josh to work for their social enterprises. Josh gained experience as a cleaning professional through Buckelew's Blue Skies Cleaning Service, which specializes in environmentally-friendly office cleaning. This experience positioned him to find a job at Northgate Mall in Marin County, California, and eventually enabled him to move out of the halfway house and into a permanent home.
"I've learned responsibility and how to work with others," Josh reflects. "It's a good work environment, and I like the effort it takes.…I feel useful—a part of something—and that makes me feel good."
The Promise of Crowdfunding for Social EnterprisePosted byon June 28, 2012 at 5:15 PM EST
Earlier this month, the White House hosted a briefing for the American Sustainable Business Council, a national network serving social enterprises from early-stage startups to established success stories, like Patagonia and Ben & Jerry's. Senior White House staff took time to meet with chief executives and thought leaders, such as Seventh Generation founder Jeffrey Hollender and Stonyfield Farms pioneer Gary Hirshberg, to discuss many aspects of the President's agenda to support overall economic growth, including the Impact Economy.
As part of the conversation, the discussion focused on the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. The JOBS Act is a bipartisan bill signed by the President into law in April that will allow small businesses and startups to raise capital from investors more efficiently, leading to faster growth and hiring.
One of the key features of the JOBS Act is to enable "crowdfunding" – letting companies raise up to $1 million in small increments from many investors. As the President said, this is "a potential game changer":
Right now, you can only turn to a limited group of investors -- including banks and wealthy individuals -- to get funding. Laws that are nearly eight decades old make it impossible for others to invest. But a lot has changed in 80 years, and it's time our laws did as well. Because of this bill, start-ups and small business will now have access to a big, new pool of potential investors -- namely, the American people. For the first time, ordinary Americans will be able to go online and invest in entrepreneurs that they believe in.
In many ways, nonprofits and social enterprises are already adept at raising money through crowdfunding – think of donation-based tools like Network for Good or zero-interest microfinance platforms like Kiva. What the JOBS Act will do is allow micro-investors to purchase a stake in the venture.
Many social enterprises already have benefited from donation-based crowdfunding platforms, and they are looking forward this new opportunity to attract impact-minded investors. Two such companies guest-posted on the White House blog, and their founders attended the JOBS Act signing ceremony: Stockbox Grocers builds tiny grocery stores in urban "food deserts," while LuminAID Lab manufactures solar-powered lights for disaster relief. Both companies stress the power of crowdfunding to connect social enterprises with their communities and customers.
At a time when nonprofits are struggling for revenue, as charitable donations have slowed and government budgets are tight, the social sector needs to find new strategies to attract resources. The Obama Administration has taken some important steps toward this end, developing policies and programs to unlock capital and to increase investment. For example, the Administration launched the Social Innovation Fund to provide growth capital to high impact nonprofits. In two years, it has catalyzed nearly $400 million toward communities' solutions. The Treasury Department recently updated the example Program Related Investments, providing guidance that should facilitate the flow of impact investing from foundations and philanthropists to support businesses and nonprofits pursuing charitable purposes.
Building on this momentum, crowdfunding offers tremendous promise. Some believe that it has the potential to revitalize underserved communities by improving access to capital for small businesses. As the leader of a major group representing Main Street microenterprises recently wrote, "Given the tremendous demand for credit among microbusinesses and entrepreneurs, crowdfunding offers real promise for underserved business entrepreneurs and may allow the organizations that serve them the ability to reach even deeper into the entrepreneurial community."
To be clear, investment-based crowdfunding is not legal just yet. Congress required the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to write new rules of the road for crowdfunding, which will be finalized in 2013. Some open questions include the following:
- Any company raising money through crowdfunding must use an SEC-regulated intermediary. How should these intermediaries be required to educate investors, safeguard investor privacy, reduce the risk of fraud, and ensure other investor protections?
- In any given year, investors are limited in the total amount they can invest across all crowdfunding investments (5% of annual income or net worth if less than $100,000, or 10% of annual income or net worth if greater than $100,000). How should intermediaries be required to verify that investors stay within these limits?
- What disclosures should be required of the companies raising money through crowdfunding, above and beyond those spelled out by Congress?
The SEC has invited members of the public to submit comments to inform their rulemaking. These comments could include considerations unique to social enterprises, along with those investors willing to trade some financial return for greater social or environmental benefits.
To provide comments on crowdfunding, read the JOBS Act and visit the SEC comment page.

Shifting the Odds for At-Risk YouthPosted byon June 26, 2012 at 7:00 PM EST
This story highlights the work of the Social Innovation Fund, established by the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in 2009 and administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Alison's* daily struggles while raising two young children made her dream of a college degree seem unobtainable. But things began to turn around when the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) in Washington, DC connected her with a Promotor.
The Promotores (Spanish for "advocates") program was developed by LAYC to help meet the needs of young people like Alison. The program links at-risk youth to non-traditional counselors, Promotores, so that they can provide hands-on guidance on local issues like poverty, high unemployment, and lack of affordable housing. Promotores work to help young adults finish high school and go on to higher education, secure and retain employment with long-term career potential, and overcome difficulties with housing, life skills, and more. They connect youth to programs and services and establish long-term relationships with them, often lasting for four to six years.
Promoting a Path to Success
For Alison, her Promotor helped her apply for financial aid and scholarships, and she was accepted to Trinity University in Washington, DC. Alison's Promotor then helped her apply for the necessary benefits to provide for her children, so that Alison could focus on her education. Alison also enrolled in a volunteer work program, where she was placed at a DC-area hospital and later was able to secure a paid position. And with her Promotor's help, she applied for and received a placement in an apartment for her family through a transitional housing program.
Social Innovation: A Strategy for Expanding OpportunityPosted byon June 21, 2012 at 11:45 AM EST
This week, I had the pleasure of attending the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in Chicago, IL. This annual gathering of the nonprofit sector brings together activists and organizers, government officials and nonprofit leaders from around the country. These individuals shared best practices, swapped ideas and shined a spotlight on stories of service and innovation in our communities.
This year, many conference attendees were talking about how to use financial capital to spread successful solutions from one community to others all across the country. One of the most important developments in this area is the Social Innovation Fund (SIF). Launched in 2010 and managed by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), SIF invests money in nonprofits and foundations, so they can accelerate the work of high-impact organizations and replicate their approaches in new localities and markets.
SIF recently announced grants to 49 nonprofit groups and local public agencies. Every dollar the SIF spends is matched with private money, three to one. With these new grants, SIF is now supporting nearly 200 innovative organizations in 34 states and the District of Columbia. It is financing the expansion of initiatives focused on youth development, economic opportunity, and healthy futures while touching the lives of thousands of families and improving the prospects of tens of thousands of Americans.

The Law of War
The course explores the international law regime governing war, including the law that regulates when states may resort to force and the constraints on the conduct of warfare itself. We will begin by considering when states may permissibly use force, and how changing security threats, including terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the commission of widespread humanitarian atrocities challenge and are reshaping the legal framework on recourse to force. We will then explore the rules governing the conduct of military operations, including the constraints on the means and methods of war, the rules governing the treatment of detainees, and the protections extended to civilians and noncombatants in armed conflict. A particular focus of the class will be the application of these rules in non-traditional, asymmetric conflicts between states and terrorist and other non-state groups. Special Instructions: Any student may write a paper in lieu of the final exam with consent of instructor. After the term begins, students accepted into the course can transfer from section (01) into section (02), which meets the R requirement, with consent of the instructor. Elements Used in Grading: Class participation, written assignments, research paper or final exam.

The building blocks of a successful brand. Jack Bechta
Tebow could have played it safe and kept his convictions to himself but by wearing his faith on his sleeve he is building his brand.
Growing up in PA, I was fed a steady dose of Penn State Football and held them as the standard. Anytime they played Miami, I bought right into the Catholics versus Convicts theme (good vs. evil). I admired the team concept, no names on the back of the jersey, and I still am a team first guy. I never was a fan of Brian Bosworth, Deion Sanders, T.O. and Chad Ochocinco types. These guys went to extremes to bring attention to themselves. And in doing so some of them put themselves before their team.
The majority of high school and college coaches do not allow for their players to, well, show who they really are in fear that it may detract from the team concept. Therefore, by the time players get to the NFL, they are conditioned NOT to put their personalities, interests and passions on display in fear of appearing selfish, pissing off the coach and even losing their job because of it. Thus, what usually happens is that we really don't get to know who a player is.
Over the last several years, I have changed my tune by encouraging clients to be assertive and opportunistic when it comes to revealing their personality to the world. I even love Deion now.
Ray Lewis combines his on-field play with his off-field personality to build a unique brand.
It's been my experience that NFL rookies and young players are hesitant and shy to brand themselves and let their personalities shine through. They are also limited by what the league, team and head coach will allow them to do. However, by playing it safe and laying low, many players are missing out on a golden opportunity to introduce themselves to the world, developed their own brand identity and build income opportunities beyond their football career. Madison Avenue is not rewarding the strong silent types.
I want my clients to embrace their off-field interests, their hidden talents and speak their minds about things they are passionate about. I want to help get a spotlight on the components of their personalities that make them unique.
There is a fine line in team sports where one must be careful to what extent they go to in bringing attention to themselves. However, there are opportunities for young NFL players to do so. I observed that many NFL fans at first believed that Tim Tebow's conviction in Jesus was too over-the-top for them. Now however, the more media exposure he is given and the more he stays true to his conviction the more we respect it and accept it. Tim is building his personal brand as a God fearing Christian who puts the Lord first in all he does. Whether Tim's NFL winning run lasts weeks or years, he has successfully built his brand by wearing his faith on his sleeve. So, why cant that work for other players and their convictions? The answer is that it can!

Never, in at least my experience with my Mini 14's, had after market magazines work very well or at all. Doesn't matter who makes them. Factory magazines are the only way to go for this rifle.
Before hicap magazines became available from the factory I fixed a lot of aftermarket mags. The usual issue is that the lug on the back is too high, allowing the magazine to drop below the feeding point. The fix is to build up the bottom of the lug by welding to make it longer. Then using a file remove a little and see if it fits. This can take many tries until it finally seats properly, but once done it will work. If you're not good at welding, have a welder do it. The best welders for magazines are the muffler and exhaust guys who weld thin materials everyday. They'll usually do it for a few bucks and the rest is just your time to fit it.
With factory mags available and affordable it only makes sense to do this if you have a lot of old mags. Back in the day I paid $60 or better, each, for LEO only 20 round mags. I'm glad those days are over.

Editorial: Federal court puts Arctic drilling on ice
Shell Oil called off its 2014 plans for drilling in offshore Alaska, after a federal appeals court challenged federal leasing practices.
Seattle Times Editorial
FIRST it was Mother Nature who put a halt to Shell Oil's plans to proceed with oil and gas development in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. Now it is the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Shell CEO Ben van Beurden announced Thursday his company would not proceed with drilling in offshore Alaska in 2014.
His decision follows the federal appeals court ruling that said the U.S. Department of Interior's oil and gas leases in the Chukchi Sea violated the law, with faulty oil production estimates that had consequences for forecasting environmental hazards.
The case returns to a federal district judge in Anchorage for additional review.
Shell and others in the industry with drilling aspirations for coastal Alaska are getting some serious reality checks. A series of mishaps in 2012 convinced Shell to postpone drilling plans in 2013.
Now a three-judge panel has put the federal government on notice about how closely it will track enforcement of a strong environmental law.
Shell has firsthand experience with the harsh climate that would complicate drilling operations and hinder relief and recovery during all manner of weather and technical emergencies.
Now the court is saying it wants serious evaluations of environmental and safety risks with real numbers — not the back-of-the-envelope estimates previously accepted so lucrative auctions can proceed.

I had to read that three or four times - but yip, it's true - a story by Mr Mellor that doesn't find a way to punt EMC
Margin folly
The commentary on margins in funny, and ignores the fact that with storage systems you are getting hardware and software.
It's true you can buy "cheaper" hardware at 20-30% margin, but if you then need to put pricey software on top to turn it into a storage system... you aren't actually saving anything. The way its written implies the Melio software is free.

Setting Up A Baseline Grid
Posted By Antonio Carusone
Check out this excellent write up on Typophile on how to setup a flexible baseline grid in Adobe InDesign. The author has set up the grid so that every baseline is 12pts apart. This is a good setting that gives you a few leading options to choose from, but someone commented below the article that they've setup a 3pt system, which in my opinion works very nicely. Having a baseline every 3 pts gives you great flexibility with leading allowing you to create typography that is more dynamic. Have a read and also join in on the discussion. I've commented under the name YOTS.

This was a big hit at a party. The only thing I did different was add 3/4 cup of finely minced onion.
So delicious!!! If you don't have time, rotisserie chicken breasts are good to use to.

The first "Hour of Power With Bobby Schuller," the new lead pastor of Shepherd's Grove Church in California, was watched by viewers from nearly 20 countries who made their presence known online, the program reported on Wednesday.
"It was great to be on the air with the newly launched program," said Schuller. "It's clear from the overwhelming responses we have received that the message of Jesus' love and redemption still deeply resonates with people across the world. I can't wait to see how God is going to use this coming week to reach people for him."
The 33-year-old pastor, the grandson of televangelist Robert H. Schuller, was recently named as lead pastor of the former Crystal Cathedral congregation, which has found a new home at Shepherd's Grove Church. more >>
Church planting is successful when a planter knows their community's needs and is willing to risk their reputation and resources, said Pastor Sergio de la Mora of San Diego's Cornerstone Church, during an Exponential Conference live webcast on Wednesday.
De la Mora, who began his church with merely seven people 16 years ago, has grown his congregation in a neighborhood he least expected to end up in but along the way, he had to learn how to trust God to mold him into the revolutionary leader he is today.
"When I started the church, I initially had no idea what I was ultimately going to have to become ... God told me I had to become the pastor the community wanted me to be, not the pastor I wanted to be," de la Mora said. more >>
Efrem Smith, preacher, author and urban ministry advocate, delivered a challenging, uncomfortable and anointed message about evangelism, according to some of the thousands who attended or tuned in via a live webcast to the Exponential West Conference at Saddleback Church on Tuesday.
Smith, president and CEO of World Impact and author of The Post-Black and Post-White Church, preached a message titled "Rethinking Evangelism Through the Suffering," making the case that the atrocities and painful conditions people experience today require a refocused approached to doing outreach.
He began by reading to the thousands in person and likely thousands more watching online, the description of the multi-ethnic and multi-lingual kingdom of God described in Revelation 7, specifically verses 9-17. more >>
The grandson of televangelist Robert H. Schuller, Bobby Schuller, has been named lead pastor of Shepherd's Grove Church, the new name for Schuller's original congregation, which moved to a new location after selling the Crystal Cathedral building and campus to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County.
Schuller will also follow in his grandfather's footsteps with an hour-long religious television program called "Hour of Power with Bobby Schuller." The new program will be similar to the "Hour of Power" show made famous by his grandfather but the younger Schuller plans on reaching a different audience.
"When I came to the remaining Crystal Cathedral congregation in March of 2012, my goal was just to help the ministry as things were winding down to a close. Then more people started attending, and the church grew. It soon became clear that God had other things in mind for the ministry, and that he wanted me to pastor the church," Schuller said, according to Christian Newswire. more >>
Actress and singer Selena Gomez has fans wondering about her well-being after she took to Twitter Wednesday night and posted a tweet implying that she oftentimes does not feel as if she is good enough.
Gomez, who has been seen attending church services and Bible study groups with boyfriend Justin Bieber recently, noted that she has God by her side during tough times which prompted fans to reply to her tweet, asking if she was okay.
"Sometimes we think we aren't good enough. But then I realize when I think I'm alone I have God," Gomez wrote. "We have to learn the hard way sometimes." more >>
The California Catholic Conference filed a complaint Wednesday against the state's mandate that Catholic institutions cover all forms of voluntary direct abortion, including late-term and gender selection, stating that defending the sanctity of life is essential to Catholic beliefs.
"Catholic beliefs about life and human dignity animate and shape our Catholic ministries," said Bishop Robert McElroy, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of San Francisco and chair of the Institutional Concerns Committee of the California Catholic Conference.
"It's why we oppose abortion, but it is also why Catholic schools provide education, Catholic hospitals care for the poor and vulnerable and why Catholic social services provide assistance to people and families in need. It goes to the core of our moral beliefs." more >>

for the www.lightrailconnect.com boys!
Today is April 1, 2009. April Fool's. I decided last night at 9 o'clock that I would get the guys at work. I pulled up a legit eviction notice online and typed in all of our company's information into it and took it to the office and posted it on the door. I also put a chain around the door knob, actually entirely useless since it is a door knob and all you do is turn it. This morning when the first guy walks up he reads the notice and see's the door is "chained" (haha) and walks back out the office. I catch him in the parking lot and he says he was about to go home and call our designated broker to tell him that we were evicted. The prank is still in progress so I will keep you updated.
So our designated broker comes up to the door and reads the notice, he then slowly examines the chain and takes it off the knob. He came into a dark office asking "hello hello". We were all quiet and then he saw us. He started asking over and over "Is that for real". Everyone is cracking up at this point and he is still asking "is that for real". Finally we explained it was a joke and he laughed. He also kept the eviction notice I typed up. HA HA
I love the commercial real estate business.

Mud Racing Accident
POSTED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 3:04pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 5:16pm
An accident happened during what is called a mud race outside of the Tequila's Bar.
A 68-year-old woman was enjoying the fun, when something went terribly wrong.
Sunday night, a dune buggy lost control and hit several people. Martha Camacho of Fabens was killed in the accident.
Lorena Rayos of Tornillo suffered burns to her arm, and a baby, Selene Camacho, suffered a cut to her face.
Armando Camacho, the grandson of the woman who died said he heard someone scream and he started running towards the commotion.
Camacho went on to say, "When I got there, I just saw my aunt picking up the little baby from behind my grandma's And I just saw my grandma laying down right there and she had a big cut on her leg."
Camacho says his grandmother's funeral is set for Wednesday.
The driver of the buggy is a 47-year-old man from Fort Hancock. Investigators are not identifying as of now.

LIke anything in life there is always an assumed risk of doing anything and in this case a life was lost but that was the assumed risk they took to watch that event. Just like the risk u take watching diablos on 3rd base line and a foul ball goes into the crowd. It does happen and if you do not feel safe you should be behind a crash gate or some type of protective barrier for such accidents as that.
My prayers to the family and my heart for your loss. Its never good to lose a loved one.

"If you remember the '60s, you weren't there." - Dennis Hopper Yeah, but those were the late '60s. Everybody remembers the early '60s, that season of innocence when a man could be named Chubby Checker and yet still be a star. The early '60s were before the Beatles, LSD, Vietnam and hippies. They were in fact a lot like the late '50s, except that the cars were not as stylish and people were joining the Peace Corps, and, in every town large enough to support a TV station, there was a version of "The Hop." "The Hop" was the name of the show on Channel 3 in Champaign-Urbana, where I grew up. It had other names in other towns, but it always had the same format: a studio full of pimply faced teenagers in ducktails and ponytails, pumping away to midstream rock music under the benevolent supervision of the local Dick Clark clone.
Everybody I knew watched "The Hop." Nobody I knew ever appeared on it. Where did they get these kids? Did they hire professional teenagers from other towns? Nobody I knew dressed as cool or danced as well as the kids on "The Hop," and there was a sinking feeling, on those long-ago afternoons in front of the TV, that the parade had passed me by.
John Waters' "Hairspray" is a movie about that time and those kids and the sinking feeling. It takes place in 1962 in Baltimore, where a program known as "The Corny Collins Show" is at the center of many local teenage fantasies. The kids on Corny's show are great dancers with hair piled in grotesque mounds atop their unformed little faces.
They are "popular." They are on the Council, a quasi-democratic board of teenagers who advise Corny on matters of music and supervise auditions for kids who want to be on the show.
One kid who hungers to be on the show is Tracy (Ricki Lake), who is fat, but who can dance better than Amber (Colleen Fitzpatrick), who is not. Tracy dances in front of her TV set and knows all the right movies and is tolerated in her fantasies by her parents, who are played by Jerry Stiller and Divine.
The plot of the movie loosely involves Tracy's attempts to win a talent show and win a place on the Council and the attempts made to stop her by Amber and her ambitious parents (Sonny Bono and Debbie Harry). It is some kind of commentary on the decivilizing '80s that Stiller and Divine and Bono and Harry, who would have qualified as sideshow exhibits in the real '60s, look in the context of this movie like plausible parents.
The supporting case includes various local weirdos, including Pia Zadora as a "Beatnik Chick" (I quote from the credits). If noth ing else is worth the price of admission to this movie, perhaps you will be persuaded by the prospect of Zadora reading from Allen Ginsberg's "Howl." The movie carries a social message as sort of a sideline: "The Corny Collins Show" is racially segregated, and Tracy and her black friends help to change that situation, gate-crashing a Corny Collins day at the local amusement park. But basically the movie is a bubble-headed series of teenage crises and crushes, alternating with historically accurate choreography of such forgotten dances as the Madison and the Roach.
The movie probably has the most to say to people who were teenagers in the early '60s, but they are, I suppose, the people least likely to see this movie. It also will appeal to today's teenagers, who will find that every generation has its own version of Corny Collins, and its own version of the Council, designed to make you feel like a worthless reject on the trash heap of teenage history. If there is a message in the movie, it is that Waters, who could never in a million years have made the Council, did, after all, survive to make the movie.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.

Well, we did it, we said yes to taking this little girl into our home, our lives. It's gonna take a few days to get things going but we are so excited. I do truly believe that this is a part of GODs plan, especially after today's events.
Today we said goodbye, to our beloved "Kip" our son's best friend. This young man (26) came into our lives when his dear mom and dad adopted him and moved to this small town. We watched as our son's grew up together and when they became young men each going separate ways building their own families and facing adult difficulties Yet, they were still able to come to each others aid when needed and I'm thankful for that wonderful opportunity to be a part of his life.
We have faced this painful tragedy ourselves, when our beloved RILEY journeyed to Heaven. Although we will never understand why, we do accept that GOD had a plan and that these events are a part of it. We just need to keep our faith in GOD and trust him.
Sparkfriends I thank you for your prayers, I know GOD listens, be blessed
We Remember
Kip and his 2 daughters
Wow! so much can happen in a few days time.
Yesterday we were asked by the social services if we would take in another foster child, this time a much younger child. This two year-old is literally homeless, not wanted by her mother and her extended family. Our home would be here third move since she was born, and the social services is wanting her placed permanently (guardianship).
Our home is ready, and this is what we wanted, to foster children. But this is permanently and I question my ability, am I ready? Can I open my heart to love someone else's child until they are eighteen? I know we have done this already with my step-graughter, but she came when she was 6, but this little girl is just a baby yet. YES! I know we can, I do feel this a part of GODs plan, this little girl is also family to my nephews children (same Mother just different fathers).
This mother is just a baby maker and has never had custody of any of her children, I think she has 8 total, but two were twins with one who died just weeks after birth. I know GOD will deal with her on His terms and I have no right to judge.
So please, if you can pray for us that if this is GOD's will and plan for that things will work out and that I have faith and courage to accept this. Thank you spark friends :)
I know now that things are not all to be understood, so I give GOD my questions, thoughts, and concerns. He knows my thoughts before I even say them, and I trust him completely to help me through each day.
I thank you all for your comments and prayers, please know that I am so thankful for each of you and that you all keep me from falling into deeper depression. You all are Heaven sent, so be blessed my sparkfamily.
My faith has been shaken so many times, and I don't want to take it anymore.
First in 1999, my mom, Annabelle, the most wonderful woman in this community, was taken to Heaven in a car accident, with my only sister-in-law, Neva. Then a few years later my grandmother Helen, which made me feel so lost that I felt I had lost all connections to my heritage. Then my only brother, Thomas, who was the eldest of my siblings. Then my son, my sweet angel RILEY, my youngest child who was supposed to be with us for many more years.
There have been many others, very close friends of our family, Kip, Susie, Matthew, Robert, Johnny, Deane, Cleave, and Orlando. They were just like family, and all of them so loved and missed, it just hurts to know that we have to live on without them.
It seems just when I am ready to move on to life, something tragic happens and my heart is again torn, weighed down with such sadness, that there is real physical hurt. My family tries to hold me up, or lift this darkness from me, and I love them for trying to help. Maybe it's true you have to hit bottom before things get better.
Don't worry bottom does not mean drinking or drugging to me. It is a point of needing GOD desperately, and only He can help me from this darkness of my soul. I call upon him now to help me through this dark time, to give me peace, strength and understanding. "Please LORD I need you now". Amen
GOD, why, why does our family have to face such tragedies? Please be with my oldest son Santeo as he and his friends face the sadness of losing their friend. Amen
Rest In Peace, Kip Proper

November 26, 2014
CAIRO (March 9, 2013)--An Egyptian court Saturday confirmed death sentences given to 21 people for their roles in a deadly 2012 soccer riot that killed more than 70 people in the city of Port Said and sentenced city's the former security chief, Maj. Gen. Essam Samak, to 15 years in prison.
But the court acquitted seven of nine police officials on trial for their alleged role in the deadly stadium melee last year.
Most of those condemned to death are fans of Port Said's Al-Masry club.
Fans of Cairo's Al-Ahly club stormed Egypt's soccer federation headquarters Saturday, setting it on fire in anger over the acquittal of the seven police officials.
Fire also swept through a nearby police club, but it was not immediately clear whether Al-Ahly fans were responsible for that blaze as well.
Heavy black smoke billowed out of the rose-colored, three-story neocolonial building in central Cairo.
The Feb. 2012 riot, Egypt's worst soccer disaster, followed a league game between Al-Masry and Cairo's Al-Ahly, with Port Said supporters setting upon the visiting fans after the final whistle.
