Ok Here goes. I have been divorced for 6 years. I am not on here looking for just anyone, but I am looking for " the one". I am not into the bar scene ( did that when I was a lot younger ) I guess that you would say that I am kind of a home body. I have a great sense of humor ( some people have called me a comedian ) but you you will not see it here. I find this site to be very impersonable, and I believe that a meeting or at least a phone call is necessary to really connect with someone. I am looking for someone to share this great life that we have been given. I want an equal that wants to make each others life more fulfilled.

Georgetown Officially Breaks Ground on Thompson Athletics Center
New Athletics Center to Break Ground on Friday

David Falk, Patrick Ewing Commit $3.3 Million to Thompson Athletics Center
Basketball Hall of Famer John Thompson's name is synonymous with success, as is the program he built at Georgetown University. Whether the yardstick used to measure that success is overall wins (596- 239), post season appearances (24 consecutive), graduation rate (97%- 76 of 78 students who stayed four years) or players drafted by the NBA (26, 8 in the first round), Coach Emeritus John Thompson built a winner. He established a program which has been a standard bearer for the BIG EAST Conference with League leading records vs. all conference opponents (233-122), vs. Conference opponents in regular season play, (199-107) in post season play (34-15) and in Conference championships (7 regular season, 6 tournament). His teams have: won a National Championship (1984), appeared in three Final Fours (1982, 1984, 1985) and played in 20 NCAA Tournaments, 14 appearances being consecutive.
He was named "Coach of the Year" a total of seven times. The BIG EAST Conference, in the 1991-92 season named him Coach of the Year for the third time (having previously awarded him this title in 1979-80 and 1986-87). The United States Basketball Writers Association and "The Sporting News" recognized him in 1983-84. The National Association of Basketball Coaches acknowledged him in 1984-85 and United Press International chose him in 1986-87.
The 1988 Olympic Head Coach in Men's Basketball for the USA, his team captured a bronze medal in Seoul. Mr. Thompson was also an assistant coach for the 1976 Olympic team, which won a Gold Medal in Montreal and was a member of the selection committee for the 1984 Olympic team, which won a gold medal in Los Angeles.
A major figure in and out of the coaching profession, John Thompson is a past president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and has served on their board of directors. He is a trustee of the Basketball Hall of Fame. He has been a consultant and spokesman for Nike and is a member of its board of directors. He is one of the founders of 4-H in the nation's capital. He established Georgetown's "Kids and Cops" program, which annually gives away 10,000 tickets to Hoya basketball games. His protest of "proposition 42" focused national attention on issues of economic and educational discrimination.
Mr. Thompson's bachelor degree from Providence College was in economics, but he also holds a master's degree in guidance and counseling from the University of the District of Columbia. He has received honorary degrees from Georgetown University, St. Peter's College, Wheeling College and most recently from the University of the District of Columbia. He holds the titles of Coach Emeritus and Presidential Consultant for Urban Affairs at Georgetown University. He has received the two highest awards which Georgetown University can confer: the President's Award and the Patrick Healy Award.
Prior to his arrival at Georgetown, John Thompson was a highly successful high school coach, amassing a record of 122-28 at St. Anthony's High School in Washington DC. Before that, he played on two Boston Celtic World Championship teams under the tutelage of fellow Hall of Famer, Red Auerbach. While attending Providence College, Thompson led the Friars to the NIT Championship in 1963 and was named "New England Player of the Year" in the following season. The Providence College Student Congress named him "Most Outstanding Senior". Before college, Thompson led his John Carroll High School team to 55 consecutive victories and two city championships.
Highlights of Thompson's 27 Years at Georgetown
March 13, 1972: Hired by Georgetown after compiling 122-28 record at St. Anthony's High School. He inherits a team that had gone 3-23 in the 1971-72 season.
March 15, 1975: In Thompson's third season, Georgetown plays in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1943. This also is the first of 24 consecutive seasons in which the Hoyas appear in postseason play, a streak that remains active.
Fall 1975: Al Dutch of Carroll High School becomes the first high-profile player to enroll at Georgetown under Thompson.
July 1976: Thompson serves as an assistant coach for the 1976 U.S. Olympic team, which wins gold medal in the Montreal Games.
Fall 1976: John Duren of Dunbar High School enrolls at Georgetown. He goes on to become the school's all-time scoring and assist leader as well as the first Thompson-coached player to be selected in the first round of the NBA draft.
Fall 1978: Eric "Sleepy" Floyd enrolls at Georgetown. He later surpasses Duren as the school's all-time scoring leader and becomes the program's first consensus all-American.
March 1979: Georgetown advances to the NCAA for the third time under Thompson, beginning a streak of 14 consecutive seasons in the tournament.
Fall 1979: The Big East Conference begins play, with Georgetown as a charter member.
March 1980: Georgetown wins an NCAA tournament game for the first time under Thompson. The Hoyas advance to the final eight, their best showing in the tournament since 1943.
Fall 1981: Patrick Ewing of Cambridge (Mass.) Rindge & Latin School enrolls at Georgetown, becoming the most heralded in the program's history. The Hoyas begin playing home games regularly at Capital Centre rather than on-campus McDonough Gym.
March 29, 1982: The Hoyas advanced to the Final Four for the first time under Thompson, losing to North Carolina in the national championship game, 63-62. Six players in that game -- Floyd, Ewing, Anthony Jones, Michael Jordan, James Worty and Sam Perkins -- became NBA first-round draft choices.
Dec. 11, 1982: Third-ranked Georgetown and Ewing meet No. 1-ranked Virginia and Ralph Sampson at Capital Centre; the Cavaliers win 68-63.
April 2, 1984: Georgetown beats Houston in the NCAA final, 84-75, to win its only national championship.
April 1, 1985: In one of the biggest upsets in NCAA final history, Georgetown -- with a 35-2 record -- loses to eighth-seeded Villanova, 66-64, as the Wildcats shoot a then-tournament record 78.6 percent from the field (22 for 28, including 9 for 10 in the second half).
June 1985: Ewing, the only Hoya ever named national college player of the year, is the first Georgetown player selected first overall in the NBA draft.
September 1988: Thompson coaches U.S. Olympic team to bronze medal in the Seoul Games, the United States' worst finish in men's basketball and the last time the U.S. team comprises only amateur players.
Fall 1988: Alonzo Mourning of Indian River High School in Chesapeake, Va., enrolls at Georgetown.
Jan 14, 1989: Thompson stages protest of change in freshman eligibility rules that had been approved at the NCAA Convention by walking off the court just before the Hoyas' home game against Boston College, then refuses to coach the team's next game, at Providence. The NCAA membership reversed the change at the 1990 convention.
March 1989: Georgetown advances to the NCAA tournament final eight.
May 1989: Thompson goes on ABC's "Nightline" to discuss his meeting with alleged drug kingpin Rayful Edmond, concerning Edmond's association with Mourning and forward John Turner. Turner is later dismissed from the team for continuing that association.
June 1990: Thompson's discussions with the NBA's Denver Nuggets about becoming the club's coach and general become public. Thompson announces he wil remain at Georgetown.
March 1993: Georgetown fails to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1979, but goes to the National Invitation Tournament and finishes as runner-up.
Fall 1994: Allen Iverson enrolls at Georgetown.
March 1995: The Hoyas advance to the NCAA tournament round of 16.
March 1996: Georgetown advances to the NCAA tournament final eight for the seventh -- and what will turn to be final -- time under Thompson.
May 1, 1996: Iverson announces he is leaving school after his sophomore season to enter the NBA draft, becoming the first Thompson-coached player to leave school early for the pros. In June, he becomes the first overall selection in the draft.
March 1998: Hoyas finish the season 16-15 and tied for last place in the Big East, their worst record since Thompson's first season as a coach.
June 23, 1998: Thompson announces that his son, Ronny, will join his staff as an assistant coach.
Jan. 4, 1999: Georgetown loses to Seton Hall, 72-61, dropping its Big East record to 0-4, the Hoyas' worst start in conference play.
Jan. 8, 1999: Thompson announces his resignation.

JetBlue Gives Pilots New IPad Capabilities
NEW YORK, June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ: JBLU) has received Federal Aviation Administration approval to give all pilots custom-equipped iPads that will add more real-time capabilities in the cockpit and save fuel by eliminating the heavy paper manuals that all pilots carry.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110404/NY76997LOGO)
Following a successful trial phase with approximately 60 pilots over several months, JetBlue already has begun giving all 2,500 pilots a fourth-generation 16 GB Wi-Fi capable Apple iPad. While JetBlue has been approved for a decade to use a PC-based laptop in the cockpit – called an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) – the iPads will offer new capabilities and conveniences, especially as JetBlue implements Ka-Band satellite Wi-Fi.
"We are one step closer to a paperless cockpit," said Jeff Martin, senior vice president of operations for JetBlue. "The iPads will have real-time weather capability and the ability to update safety and flight documents securely," Martin said. "We expect to add digital chart capability, once it is approved." With JetBlue's coming Ka-band satellite capability enabled by LiveTV, pilots will be able to download weather imagery in seconds, while the same download might take several minutes with other systems."Our pilots will have the fastest real-time images in the air," Martin said. JetBlue's pilots will use WSI Optima application for weather briefings, the Comply365 app for digital documents and the AeroData DFP app for aircraft performance and weight and balance calculations. The Comply365 solution will be used throughout JetBlue. JetBlue is currently evaluating digital charting providers for implementation at a later date. "Pilots will be able to make decisions to help improve the customer experience, such as having a more robust weather briefing that can be used to update customers during the flight about what to expect en route," Martin said. JetBlue will implement iPad use during the next three months to ensure a safe transition.

Visitors entering the creepy installation can listen to the group's frantic search — sounds of carpet and wallpaper being ripped — on speakers attached to the exposed listening devices. The experience evokes the sensation of the invasion of privacy or being observed by spying eyes.
The artist also references literary sources, such as in a striking piece that functions as a calendar and is a collection of collages titled One Thousand and One Possible Nights (2008).
She hole-punched Scheherazade's classic collection of fairy tales and sprinkled the confetti on a black background like stardust. The resulting imagery conjures deep space and dreamy, Milky Way constellations.

Each piece on display suggests a different night or story from the book and is arranged in four distinct grids, corresponding to the days and months of the exhibit's duration at MAM.
Another compelling work that alludes to a literary reference is First Love (2005), named after a Samuel Beckett novella, for which the artist has recruited a police sketch artist to render portraits of participants' recollections of former flames.
At MAM, Det. Paul Moody, forensic artist with the Palm Beach County's Sheriff's Office Violent Crimes Division, will collaborate with museum guests to conjure portraits from memory during a process that takes about an hour and a half. The public can contact MAM to make appointments for sittings.
The results, displayed on a wall, create a catalogue of faces and features evoking references to crimes of passion and eschewing notions of sentimentality. Pencil sketches from former incarnations of the project are reminiscent of criminal perps and exude a distinct noirish vibe.
Savoring each chapter of Neuenschwander's career reveals she is a natural storyteller gifted with an insatiable curiosity and clever use of diverse mediums.
Unfortunately, the limited space allotted for her work at MAM makes more for a condensed digest than a leisurely reading. But hers is a tome full of tales that stick in one's head until dog-eared.

A group of mixer truck drivers sought $6 million in a class action lawsuit, alleging former employer Granite Rock Co. violated California labor laws requiring off-duty meal periods or payment for duty-free meal periods.

It was a quiet night for a revolution.
People at the bar in Joe Squared Station North sat huddled over drinks and conversations. Folks occasionally strolled in to pick up pizza orders or headed to dining tables in the back. Few even glanced at the small group of musicians nestled by the storefront window playing Bach.
But those players, members of a national movement called Classical Revolution, soldiered on for several hours, dedicated to the cause of bringing a venerable old art form into unexpected places. Eventually, some patrons did take notice and moved closer to the performers to listen; one man danced, free-style, to the Baroque beat, beaming broadly as he moved across the floor.
The Baltimore chapter of Classical Revolution, which convenes on the first Sundays of each month at Joe Squared, is part of a growing alt-classical trend in town.
Other groups on the scene include the Federal Hill Parlor Series, which offers in-home concerts of vocal and instrumental music. Vivre Musicale has ventured into bars and art galleries with unusual repertoire. Outerspaces has carved out a niche in a studio/rehearsal space to play new works. And the Occasional Symphony aims to match music to specific holidays and venues.
"I absolutely love traditional concert halls, but you can have such different experiences in nontraditional places," said mezzo-soprano Megan Ihnen, who founded the Federal Hill Parlor Series to provide musical soirees in residential and commercial spots.
Experiments with taking classical music outside its normal habitat have been on the rise. A decade ago, cellist Matt Haimovitz cut back on a high-profile international career to give recitals in such venues as Rams Head Live.
In New York, a club called Le Poisson Rouge opened in 2008 to showcase multiple genres and quickly became one of the hottest places for classical artists to perform.
There is no universally acknowledged name for this sort of thing, but the term "alt-classical," more often applied to musicians focusing on the work of contemporary composers, fits well enough. The emphasis is definitely on "alternative."
Classical Revolution
Classical Revolution began on the West Coast, where a violist fresh out of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music found other musicians interested in playing outside the box; in 2006, they set up a regular gig at a San Francisco pub conveniently called Revolution Cafe.
Today, there are nearly three dozen chapters of Classical Revolution in North America and Europe. Baltimore's version was started by students and recent grads from the Peabody Institute, rallying around the motto proclaimed on the group's website: "Baltimore is a crazy awesome city. Classical music is a crazy awesome art form. Let's do it!"
The inaugural event was held last fall on a Friday night at the Bohemian Coffee House.
"It was totally packed," said Rafaela Dreisin, a trumpeter who serves as director of Baltimore's Classical Revolution. "Not everyone who came out got to play; there were too many musicians. We tried a couple of other venues after that. The weirdest place was a sports bar and grill, where people were definitely not expecting us. Then we ended up at Joe Squared, which we love."
The ensemble does not plan to limit itself to Joe Squared. Plans are in the works for concerts in the spring and summer in Mount Vernon Park. "It's being sponsored by Natty Boh," Dreisin said. "We're calling it 'Cham-boh Music in the Park.'"
Dreisin, who works for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids program in inner city schools, also envisions a collaboration between Classical Revolution and the students.
Meanwhile, Joe Squared provides a steady home. The scene on Classical Revolution nights at that venue is fluid. Musicians drop by at various intervals. A flutist and a violinist might decide to try a duet; a group of string players might seek out a pianist (an electric keyboard is used) to tackle one of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
The musicians cheer each other on with the kind of high-pitched whoops heard at rock concerts or on late-night TV talk show.
"We have a loose 'house band' of six or seven who always come," Dreisin said. "And there are always new people. We plan some programs, and sometimes, pre-formed chamber groups come and play through their stuff. But oftentimes, we just have 'chamber jam' — whatever that means," she added with a laugh.

Ends Smith, Keisel justify Steelers' 3-4 defense
Ends Smith, Keisel justify Steelers' 3-4 defense
Thursday, December 07, 2006
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Derek Anderson could make his first NFL start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns when they play tonight at Heinz Field. Traditionally, the Steelers' defense welcomes a new quarterback the way Dobermans do a pork chop.
Last December, it was Charlie Frye, then a rookie starter for the Browns, who felt the teeth of the Steelers' defense when he was sacked eight times. Sunday, it was Pittsburgh native Bruce Gradkowski, a rookie starter for Tampa Bay who was sacked five times and intercepted three times.
The Steelers have 34 sacks, fourth most in the AFC. Statistically, they are close to last season's pace when they rang up 47 sacks in 16 games and ahead of 2004 when they had 41.
Lately, though, it has been all or nothing for their pass rush. In their past eight games, they had no more than one sack in five of them. And there's a different feel about their pass rush this season because most of the pressure on the quarterback has come from the ends and not the outside linebackers.
The 3-4 defense, the kind the Steelers have run for more than 20 years, can make stars of linebackers and send ends into anonymity.
Not many ends who played for the Steelers the past two decades remain memorable today. Yet fans still wear jerseys of those who thrived in the 3-4, players such as Mike Merriweather, Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, Jason Gildon and Joey Porter -- all former Pro Bowl outside linebackers.
"I think generally the outside linebackers get opportunities at a few more sacks," said defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, the architect of the zone blitz.
It's the system. But in that same 3-4 defense today, Aaron Smith and Brett Keisel are fighting the system. They play defensive end, and that is where most of the pressure has come this season.
Smith and Keisel have combined for 7.5 sacks. That's fewer than the 12.5 outside linebackers Joey Porter and Clark Haggans have produced, but they dominate another statistic -- the quarterback hurry/pressure.
Steelers coaches keep that stat. Keisel, in his first season as a starter to replace departed Kimo von Oelhoffen at right end, leads the Steelers with 20 quarterback pressures. Smith is second with 15. Third is Porter -- with eight. Haggans has three.
"It's anything that affects the quarterback's ability to have clear vision, step and release the ball," LeBeau said, explaining what constitutes a quarterback pressure. "You're getting good pressure and altering what he wants to do, so he's not throwing like he would be on a 7-on-7 drill."
Defenders still prefer the old-fashioned sack, but a pressure can lead to other good things for a defense, such as an interception or incompletion.
"I'd rather have a sack, you know, but it's a statistic we keep here and any statistic is a good stat," Keisel said. "We're not supposed to get sacks."
Ends in the 4-3 defenses are the ones who get them, players such as Julius Peppers of Carolina, the NFL leader. Porter led NFL linebackers last season with 10.5 sacks. Three of his seven this season have come in the past three games.
Still, it has been Smith and Keisel who have provided the Steelers with most of the pressure this season. Smith has done it before.
Twice he has had eight sacks in a season, most recently in 2004 when he made the Pro Bowl. His 33 career sacks rank 11th in club history. Only one Steelers defensive end who played in the 3-4 the past two decades has more -- Keith Willis, with 59.
Smith also led the Steelers with 22 pressures last season (Porter was second with 15) and was second in 2004 with 22 to Porter's 25.
"I think Aaron Smith is one of the more underrated players in the National Football League and I felt that for some years," LeBeau said. "I just don't see him blocked very often."
Keisel, in his fifth NFL season, has exceeded expectations. The Steelers chose to keep him and let von Oelhoffen go in free agency in March.
"I would say for two years he was one of our most improved players and I think that growth has continued to exhibit itself," LeBeau said. "From the end of last year through our really strong stretch run there he was a tremendous pass rusher. He made some great sacks and forced plays in all those playoff games."

Re: Ends Smith, Keisel justify Steelers' 3-4 defense
how will they transition to the 4-3 if thats the direction the new coach wants to go? is it as easy as just throwing c. hoke in there with c. hampton? i would think it is.

You bring up a good point. Do that, and we lose a IL. All of a sudden, there is more depth at the linebacker position. Hmmm.

Re: Ends Smith, Keisel justify Steelers' 3-4 defense
Unfortunately, it is not that easy. The Pats do it, or have done it in the past, but I would rate their DL above ours (Seymour if nobody else). To run a consistent 4-3, it takes players who fit the scheme. Our Def Ends are a little big for a traditional 4-3 setup, where a lot of the pressure comes from the Def. Ends. And a 3-4 gives you more options on the field and in blitzing situations. The problem is that our Def. Ends just aren't that dominant in run defenses, especially Kiesel. I am not knocking him, because he does have some good skills, but Kimo was stronger and seemingly better against the run, commanding double teams at times. I think we need a first round draft choice DE, provided it is a good one, to upgrade this position. And the LBs just are not as productive this year as they have been, adding to the ineffectiveness of the DEs.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -- John F. Kennedy, U.S. president and World War II Navy veteran
A veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Nick Lanier wore the camouflage green, tan and gray of a U.S. Army uniform for 13 years.
During that time, he was often approached in airports, restaurants and shopping malls by strangers who shook his hand and thanked him for his service.

Tedd Weiser knows what it means to serve.
He understands the intensity of military life – the closeness that develops among service members from being in an environment where everyone shares a common mission, structure and sense of purpose.
Shortly after graduating from high school, Weiser joined the U.S. Marine Corps, which became his life for the next 20 years. He was stationed in Japan, California and North Carolina and also was deployed to the Middle East to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom where he was wounded in combat.
An MBA can help you improve your earning potential, gain new skills and stand out in a competitive job market. So why not try to complete the coursework as quickly as possible?
It's true — taking two classes each term can help you earn enough credits for an MBA in as little as one year. But following an accelerated MBA path isn't for everyone. It takes time management, discipline and a willingness to make sacrifices temporarily to reach your goal.
By Tedd "Gunny" Weiser, Office of Veteran Student Services
Last month, I had the pleasure to be part of the team that hosted the second national Military and Veteran Social Work Conference, which took place here at Saint Leo's University Campus.
Being a 20-year veteran myself, it was an extreme pleasure to see so many devout professionals dedicated to helping veterans succeed in higher education. The program of more than 50 speakers and presenters that attracted attendees from around the nation and from several countries was inspiring.
While there was so much to learn from these social work experts, two simple points that came up time and again in presentations and informal discussions really hit home for me. Maybe that's because they represent casual assumptions that I, myself, have been guilty of when working with our veteran students here at Saint Leo – at least until now.
Col. Ann McCulliss Johnson, U.S. Army (ret), MSW, and Lt. Col. Nathan Keller, LCSW, PhD, nationally recognized experts on social work practice with service members, veterans and military families, and will be the keynote speakers at the second national Military and Veteran Social Work Conference. Johnson and Keller will address this year's theme "Veterans in Transition," along with more than 50 speakers and presenters.
The only event of its kind in the United States dedicated solely to military social work, the 2014 conference is sponsored by Saint Leo University. It takes place Friday, June 6 through Saturday, June 7 at University Campus in St. Leo, Fla.
The conference includes clinical and higher education tracks for social work practitioners and educators and is open to graduate social work students, including students in Saint Leo's online Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program.
George Meara's interest in helping people and social work was instilled in him early. Growing up in Queens, N.Y., George remembers his mother giving him the task at age 11 to run to the grocery store each week to help a recently widowed neighbor.
"At the time I never thought much about it, but looking back it reinforces my belief that social work at the community level is effective. Neighbors know neighbors. If a neighbor's husband passes away or has mobility issues, you can help your neighbors and take care of them."
Saint Leo University alumnus Jamal Lowe had served for seven years in the U.S. Navy, an experience he says prepared him "for just about any obstacle that a man could face."
That was until his senior year at Saint Leo when he encountered a financial emergency – an unexpected delay in his veterans' benefits – and faced possible eviction from his home.
"My semester began with a desperate feeling of neglect and betrayal and thoughts of living on the streets," he says, until the morning he received a call from Dr. Jose Coll, director of the university's Office of Veteran Student Services, with an offer of temporary financial assistance.
Administered through the Office of Veteran Student Services, the Veteran Student Emergency Fund provides limited financial assistance to currently enrolled students facing an unforeseen hardship that could have a direct negative impact on their educational status.
As the approximately 2.6 million troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11 continue to withdraw from war in the Middle East and return home, social work practitioners anticipate a burgeoning need for services to assist veterans with transitioning back to community life.
To provide an opportunity to explore the myriad issues related to the challenges these veterans will face, Saint Leo University's Office of Veteran Student Services will host a Military and Veteran Social Work Conference, June 6-7, 2014 at the school's University Campus in St. Leo, Fla. The theme of the conference is "Veterans in Transition."
Dr. Jose Coll, director of Veteran Student Services and associate professor of social work at Saint Leo, is chair of the event. He says the conference is the only one of its kind in the United States – a conference dedicated solely to military social work – and this is only the second time it has been held.
U.S. News & World Report has launched its first rankings of the "Best Colleges for Veterans," and Saint Leo placed 11 in the South region among the 234 schools included in the new list.
To qualify for the new rankings, schools first had to be ranked in the 2014 edition of the U.S. News Best Colleges. U.S. News & World Report ranked Saint Leo 55 among the top universities in the southern regional category in the 2014 Best Colleges edition.
In addition, schools included on the new ranking had to participate in federal initiatives that help veterans and active servicemembers apply, pay for, and complete their degrees. Saint Leo University:
For four decades, Saint Leo University has had the privilege of serving those who have served through its proud educational partnership with the military.
Today the university commemorates Veterans Day 2013 and concludes its yearlong 40th anniversary celebration with events that honor all who have served, or who are currently serving, our country in the United States Armed Forces. (Click morning or evening to watch the ceremonies via live stream.)
From poets to politicians, famous people over the years have paid tribute to these brave men and women. Here, accompanied by images and music, are some of their inspirational words.

Bama is going to drop 50 on Mootard.
South Carolina is going to beat the snot out of LSU
KSU will win by 10+ points
Notre Dame is going to lose
Ohio State doesnt matter
FSU doesnt matter (no one in the ACC does now)
The RRR should be really good this year. Im hedging towards UT right now, just because OU's lines are in bad shape, but OU is going to run on UT for sure.
Louisville is going to curbstomp Pitt. Thats a stupid prediction.
aggy (sic) is going down to La Tech - bookmarket
One thing is for sure, there are not a lot of interesting games this week among ranked teams. LSU/USCe, ND/Stanford, UT/OU and that pretty much sums up the good games.
Big 12 related (because **** the other conferences that dont matter)
Baylor vs TCU should be an interesting game. This is an old rivalry that got squashed under the mid-90s realignment. My Jayhawks suck, but they are a better team than they were last year. At least it took me to the 3rd quarter to turn the game against the sheep herders (KSUck) off this year. If we can just continue to get better and improve this year, hopefully next year will bring some more wins. I hate Turner Gill. Worst.Coach.Ever. He ****ed us for at least 3 years.

Hope everyone watches out for the ghosts and goblins! And.....watch out for the candy!
I'm starting my day off with a pumpkin shake. Seems appropriate for today! Hubby bought me a Vitamix last week. Such fun to blend a bunch of things together!
Hi Seabreezes! That pumpkin shake sounds so good. What a nice husband to give you that present. You'll have to share some of your great concoctions with us!
Happy Halloween!
I'm more worried about the alcohol consumption & carb filled snacks at our annual Halloween Party this weekend.. This is going to be a tough one.
DD here, but no worries. I had my Reese's PB pumpkin yesterday, and I'm sure the kidlet will share her candy with me tomorrow if I want some.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween, JBs! It has actually been so rainy and nasty here that Halloween and all trick or treating has been postponed until tomorrow. It must be a slow news week because it has been overbroadcasted with new lists, dates, times for all the cities and small towns in the greater metropolitan ares.
It is a tad irritating because today is my high day and I don't want to change it now or mess up tomorrow due to a sudden evening of preoccupation with chocolate or candy. Oh well. I'm just going to continue as planned and hope for the best.
bahaha, the parasite. <snort> Good stuff!!! We always called our kids 'Gweedo' or 'Gweedette' when I was pg. Parasite's hysterical!
Happy Halloween to all! Rainy but warm here. Still getting some little TOTers at the door. Hope there's a lot more because I have tons of chocolate left. Of course, neither of my teens went out this year, so I'm sure they'll be happy with any that's left. ;)
Happy Halloween JB's!:hugs:We have run out of candy, besides a few Reese cups bf saved. I have really broken out of the LC mode tonight--I made cube steak with flour! (gluten-free, but carby), sweet peas, and mashed potatoes. No candy, yet. ;)
No candy for me. I had my UPP day treats at dinner.
All M&M's and Snickers go to the kids.
Anything left over goes to 'grandpa' next door.
DD here. No candy for me. We did not have a single trick or treater. The bag of candy will be brought to work on Monday and given to co-workers. I would bring it tomorrow, but I'll be in superior court. I could give candy to the DA, judge and Grand Jury, but they might frown on that.
(The parasite :hyst:) I'm worried that I will be really parental when I'm preggers- is the leach wrong :dunno:
You could call him or her the love bug, and all that ensues. ;)
Eldest was conceived on Halloween, so we called him Spook before he was born.
I ate 14 pieces of candy. Not bad. The rest got put into the freezer this morning. I tend to forget about things out there, but Littlest and Honey can still go get a piece if they want it.
I did not eat any candy. :)
That's fantastic, Librarygirl! I wish I could say the same.
No candy for me, either, but the amount that is in this house is BEYOND CRAZY! Jenna has a huge bowl full from TOTing last night and I have 2 BOXES of full sized candy bars left. Oh boy....including peanut M&Ms. Not pretty peeps. Not pretty.
LOL, Flutter. You will have to give them to DH to take to work or something. I'm sure teenagers can go through it pretty quick though. ;)
Good for you LG on not eating candy. And flutter - step away from the M&Ms... LOL
I indulged a bit - M&Ms myself... probably 250 calories worth of my UD. None left now though. :cool:
We don't get TOTers - so my M&Ms were the last of a big bag.
Well, I broke my "sugar fast" for sure last night, but I intended to. I had M&Ms, PB M&Ms, candy corn, a fun size Milky Way & Twix, and a little of a pumpkin pie blizzard. I think I went just a bit over my calories, but I saved most of them for this treat, so all is well and within plan.
Woke up with a bit of sugar hangover this morning, but it's all gone now and I'm ready to go back to limiting sugar. I'll have a little here and there, but no way on the every UD stuff!

Thermal Imaging Franchise Planning to Cross the Irish Sea
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Europe's largest independent infrared surveying practice IRT Surveys is enjoying fantastic growth across Scotland, England and Wales and now wants to find the right partners to bring their successful franchise to Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom, March 31, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) -
Europe's largest independent infrared surveying practice IRT Surveys is enjoying fantastic growth across Scotland, England and Wales and now wants to find the right partners to bring their successful franchise to Ireland and Northern Ireland.
IRT Surveys uses infrared thermography and patented energy quantification software to diagnose energy inefficiencies and offer impartial remedial advice to clients. Due to a variety of factors from climate change to government pressure, the demand for these services has never been bigger and there are no signs or predictions of a slow down.
Franchises will receive high levels of technical training in all the services IRT offers including infra-red building surveys, energy assessments, IRT carbon dashboard, refurbishment savings reports, thermal imaging, building and roof surveys, continuity insulation analysis. Previous technical experience or a background in the building or construction trades would certainly be an advantage, but in no way a necessity. The majority of franchisees operate their franchises as a stand-alone business, however the model means the franchise could be a great added value service to those businesses already working in sectors such as building construction, renewable energy, or roofing and insulation companies.
IRT are looking for franchisees with great work ethic, an ability to develop business relationships and a flair for opening doors and creating sales. Stewart Little, managing director of IRT said: "For our established franchisees, large surveying contracts and client referrals are regular occurrences; however building the business to that level requires tenacity and hard work. Low overheads make it possible to start the business working from home, without staff and using your own vehicle. Yet by year three an IRT franchisee could be generating sales of over £150,000 and profits of over £50,000 from a single territory1. Businesses and public bodies are under ever increasing pressure to save energy, use resources wisely and cut carbon emissions. We provide the tools and expert knowledge to help them do this."
Franchisees begin with an intensive 10-day training programme at the company's headquarters that covers sales, marketing, finance and administration as well as the core technical training.
The cost of an IRT Surveys franchise is £15,000 (+VAT) plus there will also be a capital expenditure (for essential equipment) and working capital requirement.

Five killed as Fulani herdsmen attack Tiv-dominated area in Taraba
No fewer than five persons were reportedly killed and several houses razed in Gishiri Hassan village, Sariki Kudu district of Ibi Local Government area, Taraba State by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen during the weekend.
Gishiri Hassan is said to be mainly occupied by people from the Tiv ethnic group of Benue State.
A resident of the village, James Iyorkia told newsmen at Ibi that the armed men numbering over 30 invaded the village and other surrounding villages at about 9:30pm and engaged in shooting and burning houses.
Iyorkia who said he escaped with his family to Ibi town further said three persons were killed by the gunmen at Wurusu village, while two others were killed at Kiorkende village and several others sustained various degrees of injury.
Reacting to the attack, the chairman of Ibi local government, Alhaji Ishaka Adamu told journalists that the invaders were identified to be Fulani headsmen who escaped from Benue as a result of the crisis between the Tiv and Fulani in that area.
The Divisional police officer of Ibi, DSP Izikiel Imoh said the situation had since been brought under control.

: let me tell you something, if anyone needs to grow up, it needs to be both of the people who are right in the miiddle of it all, and that is Lisa herself and Pat Murphy, both of them have serious ego problems, and have huge heads! I am not the one that needs to grow up. LISA did not do her job in the first place, she should have fired murph sooner if this was the case, or put him on probation. both are at fault, that is all I am saying. get over yourself and look at both sides of the situation. I am a Devils fan as much as you are yourself, and you have no right to question what type of person that I am, you dont even know me! both LISA and Murph need to GROW UP!
Seems to me that LL is grown up, and I'm not a big LL fan. She has admitted to the infractions, which Murphy has not. She must take responsibility, and she has, Murph, not at all. Do some more reading on the subject and it is easy to see who needs to grow up.

Report: Heat Interested In David West
Miami Heat

Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
Heat CentralBuy Heat NBA Champs Gear Buy Heat Tickets NBA Scoreboard NBA Standings Team STATS Team Schedule Team Roster Team Injuries
Miami Heat
MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – The Miami Heat have a need for quality big men to help out the roster. But the team also has plenty of power forwards, but no quality center.
Wednesday, CBSSports.com's Ken Berger said that the New Orleands Hornets are willing to complete a sign-and-trade deal to allow West to play for a NBA championship contender.
One of the teams that Berger mentioned as a possibility for West is the Heat. Berger also listed possible destinations for West as Dallas, San Antonio, and the Atlanta Hawks.
The potential match with the Heat doesn't make real basketball sense. The Heat has a superstar power forward in Chris Bosh and a solid backup in Udonis Haslem.
Udonis can also play the center position near the end of a game for the Heat or move Bosh to center and plug Udonis in at power forward.
West has been a scoring superstar, but his potential role on the Heat is still unknown.
But, the Heat could be trying to acquire West to give them more ammunition to go after the Heat's big free agent target, Samuel Dalembert.
Then again, the Heat could be just trying to get enough bodies to fortify a front line that will take more pressure off the Big Three.
No moves can be made until Friday at 2 p.m.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will visit the New Bridge Learning Center tomorrow in Henrico, Va., to spotlight a quality preschool program and highlight President Obama's proposal to expand early learning opportunities to all children.
The President, in an effort to help all children begin school on a level playing field, put forward in his 2014 budget request an historic new investment in early learning that would make preschool available to all 4-year olds from low-income families; expand evidence-based home-visiting services for vulnerable families and children; and support quality improvements through a new Early Head Start-Child Care partnership.
Duncan will showcase the New Bridge Learning Center where comprehensive services are provided to 110 at-risk preschool children and their families from Henrico County. More than 80 percent of the students qualify for free and reduced lunches. Each classroom is comprised of 18 students, a teacher trained in early childhood education and an instructional assistant. Students attend school five days a week, a little over 6 hours a day.
Event 1
|Who :
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
|What :
School visit to highlight the President's proposal to expand early learning opportunities to all children
|When :
4:10 p.m. Tuesday, June 4, 2013

New Bridge Learning Center, 5915 Nine Mile Rd., Henrico, VA 23223

More travelers used Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 2013 than any previous year, airport officials said Tuesday, continuing more than a decade of growth.
A total of 43.5 million passengers used Charlotte Douglas, up more than 5 percent from the total in 2012. That's up from 23 million passengers a decade ago, in 2003.
"Our location, low costs to airlines, commitment to first-class customer service and strong tenant partnerships are key factors in our success," Interim Aviation Director Brent Cagle said.
More than three quarters of the passengers using Charlotte Douglas are connecting from one flight to another and passing through the terminal, rather than starting or ending their journeys in Charlotte. The airport has the highest share of connecting passengers of any major airport.
Charlotte Douglas ranked as the eighth busiest airport in the nation last year, measured by the number of passengers, and sixth busiest for the total number of flights. The airport averaged 714 daily flights in 2013.

the time for self-reflection,
the time to settle down,
the time to clear my cluttered mind
without someone around.
the time to just feel free,
the time to just be candid
somehow escaped from me;
it was time i took for granted.
and now i know i need it,
and now i know it's lost.
and as i try to retrieve it,
i know i'll pay the cost.
because it means i lose you,
and when i'm ready,
you may be gone.
it's a chance i need to take,
because i can't keep you hanging on --
waiting for me to wake up,
and tell you i've been wrong
for treating you the way i do.
i need time away
to appreciate you.

let nana 1st in 2014 pls she's so beautiful, gorgeous, and perfect let her
It's very nice to see more Koreans getting attention. I really like the fresh faces and symmetry. But how about more middle easternss. Golshifteh is amazing, I was surprised to only see her though
Golshifteh and Fan Binbing are true beauties. Nazanin Boniadi and Park Sora, Shagheyegh aka Claudia Lynx should be looked at.
I think Nana should stay where she is! She is PERRRFECTTT!!!! Please let her stay on Top 5!
Song Qian
I think yoona and jessica are the best
But remember !
We aren't perfect, so don't judge too much for the winner or anything
Everyone is beautiful or handsome
Nana? Im YoonA? I think the one who has named Yoona is prettier than NANA.
I agree because i'm yoona's fans and she is amazing too
But nana is not that bad
Omg!! Jessica Jung is so beautiful.. she should be the #1 in 2014, she is like a doll, her face is so perfect
Can I suggest Mia Wasikowska for your list? Also, I'd like to see Halle Berry. Thank you
Tiffany of Girls' Generation please fo 2014.She is amazing
Wow! South Korean Band Girls Generation's Kim Taeyeon (Leader), Jessica Jung, Choi Sooyoung and Im Yoona is here??? My favorite celebrity is Taeyeon! She's 9th place right? cool! Jessica Jung's 20th placer, Choi Sooyoung's 66th placer and lastly Yoona's 71th placer! wow! too bad the others members of Girls Generation/So nyuh Shi dae/SNSD wasn't on the list.
Ikr! SNSD are on the list ! They're all pretty and amazing ! But I'm happy that 3 of them are on the list. I also love TaeYeon! Taengangsters Unite ! But they should look at Krystal Jung.
TC…you've failed once again. You're obvious attraction to Asian women has once again destroyed this list. One or 2 of them were actually attractive. Olivia Wilde should have been #1 out of all your entries and Mila Kunis should have been #2. Of course you didn't bother to look at Nadia Bjorlin like I've asked you to for the past 3 years. this list gets worse every year. Your definition of beauty baffles me.
asian attraction, more like american attraction. I thought more of the asians should of been in front actually, they were naturally stunning. Have you seen Mila or Olivia without make-up/ the youth looks like it has been sucked out of them. I think most of the asians deserved to be there, as some don't recognize the beauty. hmm I think Nadia should def be looked at but I wish she would let go of those eyebrows, there kind of like sticks. I saw this one pic of her with more norm brows and she looked amazing
Mila is very pretty when made up in front of the camera all made up though
Im YoonA next year please
Congratulation to Nana.She is very beautiful.
Btw,can you put Kris (Wu Yi Fan) from boyband EXO or any EXO member on the 2014 the most handsome faces?
I totally agree with you on how Indian celebrities are very underrated here. It doesn't make sense when they're all considered as world standard beauties.
Hello! I would like to suggest 2 more beautiful faces of the girl group "Girls' Generation" for 2014.
They have really beautiful faces:
Seohyun: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32700000/seohyun-seohyun-girls-generation-32796722-245-300.png
Tiffany: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=43290105
Thank you.
how could rainbow and after school's members went into this rank…
I suggest;
Haruna Kawaguchi / she should be recognized to higher rank than kiritani or sasaki.
Ayaka Umeda / I expect to be elected of the second from mega-idol group of Japan.
Ha Yeon Soo / an up and coming actress of South Korea, I love her.
Here's a few faces from Malaysia. I hope they will be on the list.
1) Handsome Faces
a. Henry Golding
b. Izzue Islam
c. Ariz Lufias
d. Nazim Othman
e. Remy Ishak
f. Zoey Rahman
g. Shahir
2) Beautiful Faces
a. Siti Nurhaliza
b. Shila Amzah
c. Neelofa Noor
d. Rozita Che Wan
e. Nora Danish
f. Nur Fazura
g. Juliana Evans
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Nana got 2nd place. Nana deserves international recognition for her beauty. Nana's beauty is stunning. I think Nana is too humble to know how beautiful she really is.
In my opinion, I think that Suzy Bae is the prettiest. She is also very popular in Korea. She radiates light, literally. I love her personality. She is always laughing.
Congratulations # 56
I Love Haruka Shimazaki.
I agree with The 100 Most Beautiful and Handsome of 2013….
I just wanna show a few beautiful faces from Malaysia…
1) Siti Nurhaliza
2) Lisa Surihani
3) Emma Maembong
4) Neelofa Noor
5) Nur Fazura
6) Deborah Henry
7) Shila Amzah
8) Hannah Tan
9) Rozita Che Wan
10) Kilafairy
11) Kimberley Leggett
12) Maya Karin
Thanks for the attention…
Dear TC Candler,
"If you don't like what's being said, change the conversation." Wise words to live by. Well, here are a few conversation topics to peruse. . . . .
First of all, Camilla Belle's inclusion in the Top 5 for the sixth consecutive year is an inspired decision. She is without a doubt the most beautiful woman below the age of 30 today. Her flawless beauty, angelic innocence, class and elegance is unmatched by any other celebrities who but all will look superficial and unnatural (plastic) if they were to stand beside her. One would just have to watch the latest trailer for her upcoming film "Cavemen" to be reminded of her stunning looks. She is the kind of face that must win the title more than once. In fact, I agree, she deserves to win it again in the near future. Perhaps, next year?
Secondly, plaudits to you for picking the winner. Marion Cotillard is a worthy one. Glad she finally made it. It's about time, actually! And on a side note, it's nice to see Soo Wincci making the grade. Malaysia loves you. Here's a few South East Asian names that should be in the list: Juliana Evans, Carmen Soo, Fahria Yasmin, Nur Fazura, Rianti Cartwright and Julie Estelle.
The third subject, or should I say minor issue, is about how under-represented India seems to be. Deepika Padukone seems to be the only one! I know Freida Pinto is a Hollywood darling but there's a reason why she didn't make it in Bollywood. In their standards, Freida is just cute at best. And if you watched their films, it's not hard to argue why. Here are a few stand out examples: Sonam Kapoor, Diana Penty, Diya Mirza, Shraddha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Evelyn Sharma and Ileana D'Cruz.
I would also like to make a suggestion that will help make the list better: Omit some names that is, quite frankly, undeserving but most importantly, kills the whole class and exclusive look this annual list has built and is reputed for. For example, the list can do without non-attractive trash-celebs with heavy make up on who are staples to gossip magazines such as Selena Gomez and Mila Kunis. That's like the Oscars nominating Kristen Stewart! Selena and Mila are just as bad as Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Nikki Minaj and Katy Perry. Please don't make the same mistake as when Rihanna was included two years ago. Or when Lindsay Lohan won in 2004. Of course, to be fair, Lohan WAS "stable" back then. Who could've predicted she would be the trainwreck is now? In addition, I know Chloe Moretz is a personal favourite of yours and she is a good actress but you must stop insisting she is beautiful. If she must be in the list at all, she shouldn't be placed so high. It beggars belief to see her placed higher than beauties such as Bella Heathcote, Nozomi Sasaki, Cintia Dicker, Yoona, Olivia Wilde, Megan Young and Jaekyung.
It's also nice to note how Koreans are getting a lot of love these days. Not to belittle the manufactured looks of Korea but whatever happened to natural Oriental beauties such as Shu Qi and Meisa Kuroki? They should be shoe-ins every year. If not them, then they should be replaced by gorgeous new entries such as Sandrine Pinna and Zhang Zilin. Just a thought.
Lastly, I would just like to give more of my two cents worth of candidates for next year: Turkish beauty Gizem Karaca, the timeless Yukie Nakama, redhead goddess Jaime Ray Newman, seductive beauty Yao Chen, Ethiopian beauty Liya Kebede, the sultry Lyndsy Fonseca, the irresistable Ahna O'Reilly, Nigerian beauty queen Agbani Darego, the best manufactured beauty product Angelababy and sexy Spanish TV presenter Sara Carbonero.
Hope you like my letter and thank you for the wonderful annual list.
most liked Chloe Moretz
