Midday Roundup: Is the pope softening his stance on homosexuality?
Confusing comment. Pope Francis made headlines at the end of his trip to Brazil over the weekend, telling reporters at a press conference he would not judge gay priests. "If a person is gay, seeks God, and has good will, who am I to judge?" Francis said. "They should not be marginalized." Some say the comment represents a new direction for the Catholic Church, which still considers homosexuality a sin. Under Pope Benedict XVI, Francis' predecessor, gay men were barred from the priesthood. But the new pope's softer tone does not necessarily signal a coming change in Catholic theology. Francis did not distinguish between being gay and living a homosexual lifestyle, an important nuance missed in most media reports.
Dramatic rescue. Federal law enforcement officers busted a nationwide prostitution ring over the weekend, arresting 150 people and rescuing 105 trafficked children. The ring encircled 76 cities, and the children ranged in age from 13 to 17. Detroit harbored the most pimps (18). FBI and local law enforcement teams rescued the most children (12) from San Francisco. "Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across America," said FBI Assistant Director Ron Hosko. "This operation serves as a reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of victimization and holding the criminals who profit from this exploitation accountable."
Italian bus accident. A bus carrying 50 pilgrims returning from a holy site in Italy plunged about 100 feet off a ravine on Sunday, killing 38 and injuring 10 more. The bus crashed through a barrier designed to keep vehicles on the road, leaving no skid marks to indicate the driver applied the breaks before impact.
Conductor charged. A Spanish conductor at the controls when an express train derailed last week now faces 79 charges of negligent homicide. The death toll rose by one over the weekend when an American woman died of her injuries. Another 70 people remain hospitalized, 22 in critical condition. Despite the seriousness of the charges against him, a judge released the driver, Francisco Jose Garzon, without requiring him to post bail. Witnesses at the scene shortly after the accident claimed Garzon said he was going too fast and couldn't stop. Officials are trying to determine whether a mechanical failure played any role in the derailment.
Now hiring. Online retailer Amazon.com announced today it plans to hire 7,000 new workers across the country to help meet the demands of its already booming business. After opening 20 new warehouse centers last year, CEO Jeff Bezos said the company will open another five in the coming months. The jobs will give local communities a boost—Amazon pays distribution center employees 30 percent more than people who work at traditional retail stores.

Get weird with the CINCINNATI FRINGE FESTIVAL
The Cincinnati Fringe Festival — running through June 6 — is celebrating 13 years of theater, creativity and fun. A total of 40 shows (selected by 24 jurors) will be presented during the 12 days of the 2015 Fringe, split almost exactly between shows generated by local creators and productions from elsewhere in the U.S., plus four international acts representing South Africa, Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom. Through June 6. cincyfringe.com. Read reviews here.
Hit the Square for MIDPOINT INDIE SUMMER
Fountain Square's popular, free concert series kicks off this week — a true sign that summer is upon us. The first event in the MidPoint Indie Summer series (held Fridays through early September) is indicative of the strong roster of shows on the Square this year, showcasing a mix of quality touring headliners and some of local music's finest. Headlining Indie Summer's opening night is Surfer Blood, the superb, Florida-spawned Indie Pop Rock group that began drawing major attention with its 2010 debut album, Astro Coast. The band has since split with Warner Bros. Records and returned to its DIY roots with the just-released, hyper-melodic 1000 Palms, Surfer Blood's finest work yet and, fittingly, a perfect melancholic summer album. Three superb local acts round out Friday's bill: Harbour, Automagik and The Yugos. September's MidPoint Music Festival sponsors the Indie Summer series, and there will be opportunities to purchase (or win) passes for the 2015 event each week. 7 p.m. Friday. Free. Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown, myfountainsquare.com.
Show your pride at NKY PRIDE 2015!

The fest will kick off with an ally training and fairness reception for participants to learn about specific LGBTQ issues in the community. Throughout the weekend, you can show your pride with scheduled activities from a pride bike ride with flamingos through MainStrasse's Goebel Park to a pub crawl and live music headlined by acoustic duo Linda and Taryn.

Grab a beer and a Filipino snack at CRAFTS AND CRAFTS at Krohn
Take a tropical vacation without leaving town by visiting Krohn Conservatory's Crafts and Crafts event, bringing together their Butterflies of the Philippines exhibit, a handful of craft vendors and local craft beer. It's a perfect evening to enjoy the colorful butterfly show while imbibing some adult beverages, including Filipino cocktails and food like roasted pork, chicharrón and fried peanuts. Must be 21. 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday. $12; $15 door. Krohn Conservatory, 1501 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, 513-421-4086.
Blend light and sound with OSCILLATORS at Harvest Art Gallery
Intermedio, an ongoing sound-light collaboration between multi-disciplinary designer Eric Blyth and composers/installation artists Sam Ferris-Morris and Justin West, will present a one-night-only exhibition Friday at Harvest Gallery. Together, the three create immersive environments, such as last year's "Radiate" installation in ParProject's MakersMobile traveling exhibition, by incorporating digitally processed sound and video to engage their audiences in temporary interactive experiences. 6-10 p.m. Friday. Free. 216 W. 15th St., Over-the-Rhine, facebook.com/intermediodesign.
Get slightly melancholy with MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS at Bogart's
It's oddly wonderful how sometimes two songwriters will interpret the same concept in diametrically opposed fashions. For example, consider Pharrell Williams and Marina Diamandis, both of whom have very powerful songs called "Happy." Of course, Williams' composition is the musical manifestation of exuberance and joy, a bouncy sing-along that almost dares you to remain passive while it jukes and swings. Diamandis' "Happy," the opening track on Froot, the third Marina and the Diamonds album, couldn't be more different. A quietly moving, slightly melancholy reflection on the subject of finding the title emotion in making music, "Happy" — and much of Froot — hovers in the vicinity of Florence + the Machine and Aimee Mann, with wisps of Kate Bush's ephemeral eccentricity and Annie Lennox's arty populism creating an Electropop shimmer that could easily appeal to fans of Sara Bareilles or Lady Gaga. See Marina and the Diamonds 7 p.m. Friday at Bogart's. Get more information and purchase tickets here.
Get crafty at SUMMERFAIR
Here in the Queen City, the reopening of Coney Island — the pool, the rides, the food — means one thing: the start of summer. And the annual Summerfair clinches the deal. A Cincinnati tradition since 1967, Summerfair consistently ranks among the top 100 art shows nationally and features more than 300 artists from all around the United States in 12 categories, including painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking and mixed media. There will also be regional performers, including belly dancers, Celtic dancers, musicians and cloggers(!) on stages across the park, plus gourmet food. 2-8 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. $10 cash at the gate. Coney Island, 6201 Kellogg Ave., California, summerfair.org.
Take your dog to Washington Park for the FURRY FRIENDS FESTIVAL
If dogs are man's best friend, shouldn't they be able to have as much fun as we do during the weekend? Washington Park thinks so. Your furry friends are invited to spend a day in the park with other pups of all shapes and sizes, surrounded by tasty grub from Eli's BBQ and Mazunte, as well as free, live music performed by Bluegrass artists Casey Campbell, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, The Tillers and more. Water will be available for the pups as well as locally brewed beer for the humans. 3-9 p.m. Free. 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, washingtonpark.org.
Buy some local wares at the OAKLEY FANCY FLEA MARKET
Oakley Fancy Flea is a low-key, curated market with high-end locally made wares in the heart of Oakley. Featuring vendors like Alien Pets, which makes knitted felt animals in all manner of shapes and sizes, Loveworn, upcycled clothing made from recycled T-shirts and even treats from Brown Bear Bakery, the Fancy Flea has almost doubled the space they'll use for the market this year, meaning almost double the amount of stuff to peruse and double the fun. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Free. 3047 Madison Road, Oakley, theoffmarket.org.
Check out Stephen Sondheim's dark musical ASSASSINS
Stephen Sondheim's dark musical about presidential assassins has become a classic since it was first staged in 1990. That was the same year that Falcon Theatre began producing shows in Greater Cincinnati. In 1998, Falcon's staging of Assassins put the company on local theatergoers' radar. You know the names: John Wilkes Booth, Squeaky Fromme, Lee Harvey Oswald and more — all disgruntled, unbalanced people whose twisted path to the American Dream involved shooting a president. In this fascinating show they converge, commiserate and conspire, each with music from his or her moment in American history. It's a strange tour de force. Through June 13. $18-$20. 636 Monmouth St., Newport, 513-479-6783, falcontheater.net.
Catch BUTCH WALKER at Bogart's
No one can accuse Butch Walker of not living up to his potential. For the past three decades, Walker has blazed a unique trail as a member of renowned bands, a critically acclaimed solo artist, a highly regarded producer and a prolific songwriter whose compositions for some of the industry's biggest names have hit the upper reaches of the charts.Walker's last three albums — 2010's I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart, 2011's The Spade and the just-released and patently excellent Afraid of Ghosts — all hit the top spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. As a producer, Walker has worked with an almost schizophrenic range of musical talent, from Pete Yorn, Sevendust and Weezer to Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Pink and Taylor Swift. If the music industry is looking to coronate a new man for all seasons, surely the crown would fit comfortably on Butch Walker's hit-crammed head. See Butch Walker with Jonathan Tyler and The Dove and the Wolf 7 p.m. Saturday at Bogart's. Get more information and purchase tickets here.
Celebrate King Records with a reading of CINCINNATI KING in the park
Washington Park hosts a free staged reading of Cincinnati King, a new play that shares the history of King Records, Cincinnati music and racial equality by Playhouse in the Park Associate Artist KJ Sanchez. The play, meant to ignite dialogue and preserve unique local history, will be read at 7 p.m. A special performance from King Records' legendary drummer Philip Paul kicks off the evening with a performance and behind-the-scenes stories. 5 p.m. Sunday. Free. 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, cincyplay.com.
Head to the Cincinnati Art Museum for a screening of AMERICA'S POP COLLECTOR
The Cincinnati Art Museum's ongoing "Moving Pictures" series of film screenings presents the highly regarded and prescient America's Pop Collector: Robert C. Scull - Contemporary Art at Auction. The verity-style documentary by John Scott and E. J. Vaughn chronicles the 1973 auction of work collected by Scull, a taxi-company tycoon, which netted more than $2.2 million and forever established the marketplace value of contemporary art. Today, when pieces by contemporary masters routinely bring in millions, the amount raised at the Scull auction may seem small, but it was a watershed moment at the time. 2 p.m. Sunday. Free. Cincinnati Art Museum Fath Auditorium, 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, cincinnatiartmuseum.org.
Stock up on summer reading material at the FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY USED BOOK SALE
The Friends of the Public Library Main Library Book Sale returns Saturday for its 43rd annual event (through June 5), offering more than 50,000 used books from every category imaginable, with most prices between $1 and $4. Feel free to casually browse or go on a book-buying spree — there will most likely be something for everybody, whether you're looking for Alice or Zhivago. On Friday, June 5, indulge your bibliomania by filling up an entire Friends' bag for only $10 (that's not a typo). It's time to hit the books. Begins 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday. Free. Main Library, 800 Vine St., Downtown, friends.cincinnatilibrary.org.

See Classical music through a new lens at THE CONSTELLA FESTIVAL
An ambitious initiative, Constella was conceived as an arts showcase featuring the best in international and local performers. This year's festival is no less ambitious, but it's considerably scaled back from the sprawling array of choices that in the past have potentially overwhelmed potential audiences. Originally scheduled throughout October and November, performances are now within a 12-day period in April. It's still a packed schedule with five events each week, featuring violinist Hilary Hahn, pianist Simon Trpceski, other established European performers making Cincinnati debuts, Cincinnati performers and artists, and a film premiere. Performances are at downtown locations accessible by public transportation and tickets can be purchased from one source. Get more information and buy tickets here.
Get sloppy at ZINES, SCREENS & SCREAMS DIY music fest
The Zines, Screens & Screams Fest, a celebration of DIY music and culture, comes to Main Street in Over-the-Rhine this weekend for the first edition of what organizers hope to make an annual event. The festival starts Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at noon and will be centered around two main locations: Maudie's (maudieslive.com) and Cincy By the Slice (cincybytheslice.com), which are both located at 1207 Main St. in OTR; and The Drinkery (1150 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, drinkeryotr.com). The Drinkery (which will only be participating in the music portion of the fest Friday night) is open to those 21-and-up only; all other events are open to all ages. The festival features a slew of local bands as well as some national touring acts that play Rock, Punk, Post Punk, Experimental, Metal and other Indie-oriented genres. It's a great chance to catch some local musicians that don't often get a ton of attention outside the DIY scene. Read more here.
Hang out at the Southgate House Revival with CHUCK PROPHET & THE MISSION EXPRESS
San Francisco singer/songwriter Chuck Prophet's illustrious career began in earnest when he joined the influential and critically acclaimed Roots Rock band Green on Red right after high school. Since then, similar acclaim for his solo work has never slowed; he has released more than a dozen albums since 1990 that have carried the torch of Green on Red's slanted Alt Roots Rock, taking it even further. Also a prolific collaborator, Prophet has worked with everyone from Warren Zevon and Solomon Burke to Alejandro Escovedo and Cake. Prophet is currently touring with his band The Mission Express behind his most recent full-length, Night Surfer, which came out last year on Yep Roc and features contributions from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and others. (Visit the music page at citybeat.com to read our feature story on Prophet.) 8:30 p.m. Friday. $15; $18 day of show. Southgate House Revival, 111 E. Sixth St., Newport, Ky., southgatehouse.com.
Brings your leftover yarn to the BRAZEE STREET STUDIOS ART SUPPLY SWAP
If one artist's junk is another artist's treasure, then Friday's art supply swap at Brazee Street Studios might be a gold mine of fodder for artistic creation. An informal exchange of materials, guests are asked to bring any two items to donate — paint, markers, pencils, rhinestones, charcoal, paper, canvas, yarn, sequins, etc. — and they can take as much as they like home. Drop-off begins at 9:30 a.m. and leftover items will be donated to Crayons2Computers, a local organization that gives school and art supplies to children in need. 9:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Free. Brazee Street Studios' parking lot, 4426 Brazee St., Oakley, brazeestreetstudios.com. If you can actually knit and want to keep the yarn (or take someone else's home), Hospice of Southwest Ohio is currently accepting slipper donations for patients.
Take your time at SLOW ART DAY
Slow Art Day is one of the best ideas to reach art museums ever — a break from the rush-rush hubbub of trying to see everything. Visitors concentrate on just looking, really looking, at a few pieces and then discuss them with others. Saturday, the Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum and Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum are participating in the international event. At the Taft starting at 11:15 a.m., docents will help visitors look slowly at five pieces of art. Participants then have a separately-sold lunch at the Taft cafe. (RSVP to 513-684-4515.) At the art museum at noon, an hour-long guided tour starts; participants will visit works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Bernardino Mei, John Francis and Donald Judd. Afterward, there will be a discussion. (Reserve space at cincinnatiartmuseum.org.) Also at the Cincinnati Art Museum is the new Andy Warhol exhibit, Up at Bat: Warhol and Baseball, featuring the CAM's classic Pop Art Pete Rose and more from America's favorite pastime. And at Hamilton's Pyramid Hill, visitors meet to begin looking at five pieces of art at 10 a.m., followed by discussion. They can bring a brown-bag lunch. Admission to Pyramid hill is $8 for adults; $3 for 12 and younger. (RSVP to 513-868-8336.)
As the birthplace of the first professional baseball team, as well as the creation of the World Series and the location of the National League and American League merger, Cincinnati has a long history of incredible on- and off-field moments. American Legacy Tours digs deeper into the city's baseball past with The 1919 Tour. In conjunction with the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum, the tour focuses on events and activities surrounding the controversial 1919 World Series, which pitted the Reds against the Chicago White Sox and is associated with the "Black Sox" gambling scandal. The walking tour visits locations where the scandal unfolded and examines the cast of characters involved in the infamous event. 10:30 a.m. Saturdays. Through October. $20. Leaves from Fountain Square, Fifth and Vine streets, Downtown, americanlegacytours.com.
Eat a whole bunch of haggis at TARTAN DAY SPRING CEILIDH
The Cincinnati Caledonian Pipes & Drums, a local nonprofit that aims to preserve and promote Scottish heritage, hosts their annual spring party. The Celtic bash will feature music from the likes of the Blue Rock Boys, Ceol Mhor and Riley Gaelic Singers, and performances from the McGing Irish Dancers and Cincinnati Highland Dancers. Themed food will be provided by Brazenhead Pub, with a scotch tasting, Scottish beer sampling, haggis-eating contest, tea room and more. 6-10 p.m. Saturday. $15; food and drink sold separately. The Center, 115 E. Fifth St., Mercantile Building, Downtown, cincypipesanddrums.org.
Dance all night at BALLET A GO GO
Inspired by the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles and New York's Peppermint Lounge discotheque, Ballet A Go Go is one hot dance party. Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the ballet's Club B, each room of the Cincinnati Ballet Center will transform into a trendy '60s nightclub for an evening of Mod fashion, music and, of course, go-go dancing. Cocktails and dinner precede era-inspired music and dessert; tickets include an open bar. The dress code is funky Mod attire. 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets start at $150. 1555 Central Parkway, Downtown, cballet.org/events.
Get metaphysical at the VICTORY OF LIGHT EXPO
Established in 1992, the Victory of Light Expo showcases the world of the intuitive arts and psychic sciences. The festival provides a venue for spiritual teachers, readers, healers and vendors from around the country to share their philosophies and teach free seminars on topics including the shamanic anatomy of the soul, manifesting your desires and how to communicate with your guides, angels and loved ones who have passed over. After the seminars, enjoy shopping, featured artists and music from award winning Native American flute player Douglas Blue Feather, Lighthawk and crystal and Tibetan singing bowl artist Ron Esposito. 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. $15 single day; $25 weekend. Sharonville Convention Center, 11355 Chester Road, Sharonville, victoryoflight.com.
Celebrate the semi-return of Magnolia Mountain with MARK UTLEY's solo release show
Prolific singer/songwriter Mark Utley has released a single album's worth of songs. And that's all. Bulletville, Utley's excellent sophomore solo album, is not a double-set on a single CD or accompanied by a new release from his band Magnolia Mountain or another musical vessel for the songs that pour endlessly from his head, heart and hands. Is this Utley's version of writer's block? Last year, Magnolia Mountain, Utley's Blues/Roots Rock vehicle, was collapsing while Bulletville, Utley's traditional Country side project with Magnolia Mountain's Renee Frye and Jeff Vanover, was thriving. With Magnolia Mountain sidelined, Utley's creative vacuum was quickly filled by Bulletville. His Country project's profile rose exponentially with each new gig, naturally leading to more songs and ultimately the recording of Bulletville, produced, like every Magnolia Mountain album to date, by Afghan Whigs bassist John Curley. The difference this time is that Bulletville was largely recorded live in the studio. Mark Utley and Bulletville celebrate their new album release Saturday at MOTR Pub. More info: motrpub.com. Click here for details on Bulletville and all of Utley's projects.
See baby lion cubs at ZOO BLOOMS
The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden's annual floral exhibit, Zoo Blooms, features daffodils, hyacinths, flowering trees and one of the largest displays of tulips in the Midwest. Also on view, the zoo's three new lion cubs. Follow them on twitter @cincyzoolion. $18 adults; $12 children; $9 parking. 3400 Vine St., Avondale, cincinnatizoo.org.
Enjoy a matinee of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
If you've ever seen The Taming of the Shrew, you might remember it as the tale of an ill-tempered woman brought into line by an abusive, gold-digging suitor. In that simple summary, Shakespeare's early comedy understandably doesn't sit well with most modern audiences. But contemporary presenters of the show have a variety options to make it more palatable. In its current staging at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, guest director Kevin Hammond has utilized more than one of them. Read a full review here. 2 p.m. Sunday. $22-$32.Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, 719 Race St., Downtown, cincyshakes.com.
Feel a little hazy and lo-fi with COLLEEN GREEN and Leggy at the Woodward
Colleen Green's third full-length (and first album recorded in an actual recording studio) is titled I Want to Grow Up, which is no coincidence. Well, that is if you equate a glossier sound and trying to kick coffee and weed as growing up. For I Want to Grow Up, Green hooked up with friends Jake Orrall (JEFF The Brotherhood) and Casey Weissbuch (Diarrhea Planet) in a Nashville, Tenn., studio to crank out 10 songs with titles like "TV" and "Pay Attention," deceptively simple tunes that recall a cross between early Donnas and the bummed-out laments of Juliana Hatfield. Colleen Green plays Woodward Theater on Sunday. Tickets/more info here.
Grab a drink and an underground tour at TOAST TO THE TUNNELS
Back by popular demand, Toast to the Tunnels takes you on a tour to explore the Christian Moerlein Malt House's underground barrel vault tunnels, once home to the pre-Prohibition Kauffman Brewing malt house. A quick taste of history will be accompanied by a $10 flight of Moerlein beers in the taproom. Proceeds benefit the Betts House, currently exhibiting Bricks, Barrel Vaults & Beer: The Architectural History of Cincinnati Breweries. 2-5 p.m. Sunday. Christian Moerlein Malt House, 1621 Moore St., Over-the-Rhine, facebook.com/thebettshouse.
Watch GAME OF THRONES
As many know, Game of Thrones (Season Premiere, 9 p.m. Sunday, HBO) is based on author George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series. But what happens when the show's progression surpasses that of the source material? Debuting this week, Season Five will cover the series' fourth and fifth novels; by the time the finale airs, the show will be "off the books." This means those who watch will have a leg up on those who read (nerds!). If you ever had a friend threaten to spoil the show with their literary knowledge, the tables have finally turned. Martin met with the show's creators to guide them through the future of Game of Thrones — both versions will end with the same basic pieces in place — but fans can expect future seasons to diverge from the forthcoming novels. In Sunday's premiere, Cersei and Jaime mourn their father's death and adapt to life without his direction. At least they have each oth… Ew, nevermind. Tyrion is in hiding in Pentos with Varys, Jon's loyalty is pulled between Night's Watch and Stannis, and, after locking up two of her babies and banishing Jorah, Daenerys faces more setbacks in Meereen. Two of the most anticipated storylines come with new territory — Dorne and Braavos. Following Oberyn's crushing defeat, we head to his home turf of Dorne to meet his daughters, the Sand Snakes. Also exciting is the prospect of Arya traveling to Braavos to find Jaqen H'ghar. Valar Morghulis, y'all!
What happens when a guy who grew up in an inner-city neighborhood returns as a successful attorney, back because it's now the trendy place to live? That's Jackson's story: He's upwardly mobile and black, moving in with Suzy, his white schoolteacher girlfriend. But she's not so comfortable with their arrangement. Add to the mix Don, Jackson's privileged boyhood white friend who's had drug issues and now needs a place to crash. The apartment's buzzer is a reminder that their world isn't so simple. Tracey Scott Wilson's new play isn't set in Over-the-Rhine, but it could be. Through April 19. $30-$85. Playhouse in the Park, 962 Mt. Adams Circle, Mount Adams, 513-421-3888, cincyplay.com.
It's hard to stand out in the crowded Blues/Roots Rock field but Dallas-based Somebody's Darling is a stacked deck of secret weapons. The visceral '70s-to-today guitar pyrotechnics of David Ponder, the massive keyboard groove of Michael Talley, the velvet jackhammer rhythm section of bassist Wade Cofer and drummer Nate Wedan, and the smoke-and-whiskey-cured vocals of Amber Farris combine to create a blistering Blues sound that is reassuringly familiar and yet fascinatingly singular. Although Farris, who also plays electric and acoustic guitars, generates plenty of fair comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi and Heartless Bastards' Erika Wennerstrom (and maybe even a little Natalie Merchant in a rare quiet moment), she and Somebody's Darling may align closest to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals by virtue of the slinky dynamism and mesmerizing power they both effortlessly exhibit. Somebody's Darling plays Southgate House Revival's Revival Room on Friday. Tickets/more info here.

May 25, 2016
Randy died Saturday after a two and half year battle with Lou Gehrig's disease.
The rain did not keep family and friends from filling the chapel at Culley's Meadowood Tuesday afternoon.
During the service, his best friend since childhood talked about the randy he knew; the athlete who was always picked first when picking teams, and the college roommate he sat beside in a convertible as they rode down I-75 with the scent of orange blossoms in the air.
Randy worked here at Channel 6 for more than a decade before leaving the station in 2000.
He is survived by his wife and two teenage sons. He was 46 years old.

Its indented outline, sweeping valleys and partly submerged headlands – such as the sinuous, snake-like islet Ofidhoúsa (Fidoú) – provide some of the most dramatic views in the group. An asphalted road leads up from the port of Mersíni to the capital, Hóra (also called Panayía), for 1.2km. From Hóra you can reach no fewer than sixteen beaches dotted around the island, accessible by a network of dirt tracks. Tsigoúri is a ten-minute track walk downhill from northwest Hóra and gradually being developed.

Villa 4-1 Norwich stats: Find out who starred against the Canaries
Karim El Ahmadi, Ashley Westwood and Fabian Delph were the standout trio following our 4-1 win over Norwich.

There were plenty of differences from the first time Karen Bryant stepped on the KeyArena court for a pregame ceremony to her last appearance in an official Storm capacity on Thursday.
One constant was the appreciation and warmth from those in attendance for Bryant's part in creating a women's professional basketball legacy in Seattle. Bryant, the Storm's first employee when the city was granted a WNBA team in 1999, is retiring as the franchise's CEO and president.
"I never would have found my way to the WNBA had it not been for you and (owners) Force 10 Hoops," said fourth-year WNBA president Laurel Richie, who was spotted by Bryant while speaking at a banquet in Seattle.
Bryant addressed the crowd, ownership group and players during a pregame ceremony before Seattle faced Indiana at KeyArena. Bryant's words conjured a range of emotions similar to the Storm's first game in June 2000.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Your vote counts so little in Tuesday's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
Most Read Stories
And like then, Seattle mistakes led to a loss — 76-67 to Indiana before 6,179 fans.
When Bryant first introduced the Storm to Seattle in 2000, there were 10,840 fans at KeyArena. The electric night was only dampened by a 77-47 loss to Houston.
"We would have liked to get a win for this special night," Storm coach Brian Agler said. "But I don't think anybody 10 years from now is going to think back on (Karen's) tenure here and say we lost the last game she worked here. Her legacy is much stronger and longer and impactful than that."
The Storm also acknowledged Lin Dunn, who's retiring from coaching as the leader of Indiana and began her WNBA career as the coach/general manager of the Storm. Dunn is credited for drafting franchise icons Lauren Jackson and Sue Bird.
Dunn was walked to the KeyArena sideline for the final time in her career while flanked by former players Charmin Smith, Jamie Redd, Kate Starbird, and Simone Edwards. Dunn closed her storied history in the building with a win, handing Seattle its seventh consecutive loss.
"We don't close games out," Storm point guard Sue Bird said of what went wrong. "There have been games where we've had a lead and games where we come back. Whatever the case is, we can't get it done to get wins."
Seattle led 52-51 at the end of the third quarter. It looked to be able to close out a win after starting the final quarter on a three-pointer by forward Shekinna Stricklen.
But Fever guard Layshia Clarendon and forward Marissa Coleman worked together to keep the score close. All-star Tamika Catchings scored 14 of her 16 points after the break.
Catchings' final two points, on a pair of free throws, moved her into third on the WNBA list of all-time scorers. Catchings (6,454 points) passed former Storm guard Katie Smith (6,452).
Stricklen led Seattle (9-20) with a season-high 20 points. She was the only Seattle player to reach double figures.

In the US, once you get to 18,000 ft, you set your altimeter to 29.92. My question is why? Unless the pressure outside is 29.92 your true altitude and your altimeter will not match up. The pressure doesn't change just because you reach 18,000 ft. So why can't you leave your altimeter at the real pressure setting the entire flight?

Infographic: Mobility can help retailers combat showrooming
Close to half of consumers admit to looking at a product in a brick-and-mortar store and then purchasing that item for a lower price online--a practice known as showrooming.
This consumer practice poses obvious problems for brick-and-mortar stores that have overhead costs that purely online retailers don't have. These problems include lost sales and damage to floor samples.
Mobile commerce firm MobStac offers five tips to brick-and-mortar retailers to leverage mobility to lessen the impact of showrooming and encourage customers to make in-store purchases.
Brick-and-mortar retailers should provide a "seamless cross-channel experience across devices," leverage mobile couponing to increase in-store visits and purchases, use in-store navigation apps to help customers locate items, deploy mobile payment options to reduce the hassle of waiting in line, and use store locators on their websites to help consumers find their stores.

|Subseries VIII: Keystone Aircraft Corporation
The original Keystone Aircraft Corporation was founded in 1920, in Ogdensburg, New York, as Huff-Daland Airplanes Incorporated, with a contract for Army Training Planes. In the fall of 1925, Huff-Daland moved operations to a new plant in Bristol, Pennsylvania, in order to have larger facilities, a better labor market, and a more central location between Trenton and Philadelphia on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. On March 8, 1927, the name of the Company was changed to Keystone Aircraft Corporation. Keystone supplied airplanes to the U.S. Government and civil operators in a number of countries. The name of Huff Daland was retained for company's cotton dusting subsidiary, which was created in 1921 in Monroe, Louisiana, and then liquidated in 1928. In October 1928, Keystone announced its purchase of Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation of New York and production of Loening aircraft moved to the Bristol plant. Secondary sources indicate that Keystone was acquired by Wright Aeronautical Corporation in 1928 but no report of this occurs in Keystone's Annual Report for the period ending December 31, 1928. It is known, however, that in 1929 Keystone became a manufacturing division of Curtiss-Wright following the merger that created this company. Due in part to the slump in the private aircraft market and a decrease in the government contracts for military aircraft, the Bristol plant closed in 1932 and the Keystone division of Curtiss-Wright ceased to exist.
The Keystone Aircraft Corporation subseries consists of approximately 0.4 cubic feet of photographic material relating to the Bristol plant and aircraft manufactured by Keystone and approximately 0.7 cubic feet of documentary material which includes company records, aircraft specifications, product information, reports, correspondence, and drawings. This subseries has, therefore, been divided into the following two sub-subseries:
Materials in both sub-subseries span the years 1927 to 1932.
Original order, when identified, has been maintained. The "Listing of Archival Materials" created during the 1969 appraisal commissioned by Curtiss-Wright Corporation prior to donating these records to the National Air and Space Museum Archives, was used in reconstructing a few missing file titles.
Most of the photographic files were originally filed behind dividers, which are indicated in the finding aid in bold capitalized headings. Prior to processing, many of these photographs were removed to be included on videodisc 7A, then housed within the National Air and Space Museum Videodisc Collection. The removal sheets left in the original folders did not itemize which photographs were removed or how many. Using notations made in the videodisc collection and Keystone's own photograph identification numbers, as recorded on the original file folders and the photographs themselves, it was possible to find the location of most of the Keystone Aircraft Corporation photographs. With the exception of four folders, the videodisc locations for the Keystone photographs are included in the finding aid. The photographs remain in the National Air and Space Museum Videodisc Collection for ease of access.

Budget cuts straining mental health services
Published: Friday, October 23, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 8:00 p.m.
The agency that oversees mental health delivery in Western North Carolina is scrambling to provide services amid deep budget cuts, local leaders were told this week.
"We've got fragile, crisis and meltdown," Henderson County Manager Steve Wyatt told elected officials from Henderson County and local municipalities Tuesday. "Those are our three categories. We don't have a lot of good days in mental health."
These are bad days, Wyatt told the Local Government Committee for Cooperative Action. The county manager serves on the board that oversees mental health service delivery for eight counties including Henderson, Polk and Transylvania. In Western North Carolina, the Western Highlands Network distributes money to local providers that offer mental health services.
Overall, the state cut $40 million in funding to these regional agencies, and Western Highlands took a hit of about $6 million.
Hardest hit were Yancey, Mitchell and Madison counties, Wyatt said. Those counties only had one mental health organization, and that provider is going out of business.
Western Highlands has contacted an Asheville provider about providing mental health services to those counties. "Services mean people, and people mean money," he said.
The Western Highlands Network board used some reserve funds to make up for the lost state revenue, but it still had to cut services.
The board voted to restore $633,000 to a program that provided services to developmentally disabled youth and their families. It voted to cut $900,000 in funding for a similar program that serves adults with developmental disabilities.
Wyatt wanted to fund the adult program. He said parents with developmentally disabled children came to a recent board meeting and told the board about what funding cuts would mean to them.
"I saw eyes well up at one of those meetings," Wyatt said. "It was an uncomfortable day.
"These people live in our community," Wyatt said. "These are people who are struggling, and when these people struggle, they touch other people."
Wyatt said something must be done to restore stability to the mental health system in North Carolina.
"The bad news is I don't see any resolution or recognition in Raleigh, where they call the shots for this service delivery system we have that is broken," he said.

The Recovery Program wants to engage stakeholders in discussions concerning an endangered fish recovery management plan for the White River basin. This approach has been used by the Recovery Program in other basins to ensure that current and future water needs are met for people and endangered fish. The White River management plan will:
• identify existing and some level of future water depletions;
• develop current hydrology and projected depletions to identify the effects of past and future water development on endangered fish habitat;
• identify the role of the White River in recovery of endangered fish;
• identify flow recommendations for endangered fish habitat in the White River; and
• identify a broad range of recovery actions to be carried out by the Recovery Program to support a recovered endangered fish population in the White River .

Cyclones In Eighth; Gadson In Title Match Tonight
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Iowa State All-American Kyven Gadson is headed to the finals of the 2014 Southern Scuffle, after knocking off No. 14 J'Den Cox of Missouri 3-1 in overtime to punch his ticket. Iowa State sits in eighth-place in the team race with 68.5 points heading into tonight's championship bouts.
Gadson downed No. 12 Brandon Palik of Drexel 5-1 in the quarterfinals to start the day. Time dwindled down in the first sudden victory period in his semifinal matchup with Cox, when Gadson fired a counter attack to get two-points and the win.
The Waterloo, Iowa, native will face No. 1 Scott Schiller of Minnesota in tonight's 197-pound title match. Gadson is 0-2 in head-to-head matchups with Schiller and will look to avenge a 3-2 loss in the championship match of the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open on Nov. 16 earlier this season.
Iowa State 174-pounders Tanner Weatherman and Lelund Weatherspoon are set to square off in the fifth-place match tonight at McKenzie Arena, but the Cyclones will be forfeiting the bout. Each lost quarterfinal matchups this morning sending them to the consolation bracket.
Weatherman came up short in a 6-3 loss to Minnesota All-American Logan Storley. He battled back in the consolation bracket winning two matches, downing George Pickett of Cornell 5-2 and Missouri's Mikey England 3-2 to reach the consolation semifinals.
In the consolation semifinals, Weatherman and No. 8 Tyler Wilps of Pitt had a rare five-point exchange in the first period. The two top-15 wrestlers were tied 5-5 early, but Weatherman was unable to get his offense going the rest of the match and fell 11-7.
Weatherspoon was sent to the consolation bracket after falling to No. 2 Chris Perry in the finals 10-2. In the consolation rounds, Weatherspoon won his first two matches, picking up a 7-2 win over Missouri's Cody Johnston and a 4-3 win in the first tiebreak period of Oklahoma State's Kyle Crutchmer.
The Moreno brothers, Michael (165) and Gabe (141), both finished the day 2-1 falling a match shy of placing in the top-8 of their weight class. Gabe Moreno's day was highlighted by a 5-4 win over All-American Ugi Khishignya, who was wrestling unattached for The Citadel. The match ended in a 4-4 tie, but Moreno prevailed with a point for 1:59 of riding time.
Michael started the day on a roll, snagging a 7-2 win over Army's Chandler Smith and a 4-2 victory over Missouri's Justin DeAngelais. Turogtokh Luvsandorj of The Citadel ended Moreno's tournament with a 3-1 win late in the first sudden victory period. Luvsandorj is ranked No. 13 at 174 pounds in the latest InterMat poll.
Earl Hall (125), Dakota Bauer, Luke Goettl and Logan Molina all finished all went 1-1 today. Each won their first match then dropped their second, eliminating them from the completion. Molina and Goettl each finished the tournament 4-2. Hall and Bauer each finished 3-2.
The finals begin at 6 p.m. CT and will be the featured bouts tonight on mat No. 1. Flowrestling will have a webcast of all finals matches tonight for FloPro members. To subscribe, click here.

Frances Anne Kemble, was a notable British actress from a theatre family in the early and mid-nineteenth century. She also was a well-known and popular writer, whose published works included plays, poetry, eleven volumes of memoirs, travel and works about the theatre. In 1834 she married an American, Pierce Mease Butler, heir to cotton, tobacco and rice plantations and hundreds of slaves on the Sea Islands of Georgia.
They spent the winter of 1838-1839 at the plantations, and Kemble kept a diary of her observations. She returned to the theatre after their separation in 1847 and toured major cities of the United States. Although her memoir circulated in abolitionist circles, Kemble... more »

I have been fascinated with this woman, who is one of my forebears and the Niece [? ] of John Philip Kemble whose somewhat diminutive earthly form is commemorated in a statue in Westminster Abbey, for many years. I came across the volume of memeoirs of a geaorgian plantation in a university library when I was an undergrad there. Her poetry - to me is haunting and conveys a link of loneliness of spirit across the years that I almost fell I could reach out and kiss her on the cheek to make it better.
What shall I do with all the days and hours
That must be counted ere I see thy face?
How shall I charm the interval that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of grace?
Shall I in slumber steep each weary sense,
Weary with longing?—shall I flee away
Into past days, and with some fond pretence
Cheat myself to forget the present day?
Shall love for thee lay on my soul the sin
Of casting from me God's great gift of time;
Shall I these mists of memory locked within,
Leave, and forget life's purposes sublime?
Oh, how, or by what means, may I contrive

"The cards were beautiful! The paper looked good and the colors popped! People thought they were perfect for a Hawaiian wedding. Can't wait to do the invitations/thank yous in the same design."
"These Save The Dates are absolutely gorgeous. We ordered them in blaze, and the colors are just lovely. My fiance and I couldn't be happier with the design and the quality of the paper. Special shout-out to the Design Team for taking the time to proof my prints, and to Heldana at Customer Service for changing the quantity to my order. WPD is wonderful!"
"Recently purchased in Cream. I really love it! The only thing that is disappointing is the gold part is not metallic but just printed gold. Still looks good but would be better with actual foil. But Overall we love it!"
"The "swirled in style" save the date postcard was a great option for our wedding - simple, clean and direct. The customer service designer was awesome to work with and made the card exactly what I envisioned. I just wish that the card was printed on a thicker card stock, but it doesn't impact the card quality."
"Gorgeous. Just what we wanted. The gold ink is a bit difficult to read, so for our wedding invites, we darkened the color a bit. But it's so beautiful!"

12" steel rule, link pin center to pin center is still dead on after 2,000 miles (can't believe I've put more miles on the bike than the car since July). I've measured with the chain tight with the help of a second person and loose, laid along the straight edge and get the same thing, no discernable wear re: 12" measurement. My Shimano chains on my 9sp Trek are usually measurably elongated by this time.
I did switch to Prolink ProGold with the KMC on the Veloce from the dry lubes I'd used on the Trek so that's a new variable. On-bike cleaning with a chain cleaner every 600, 700 miles (3 times since purchase).
Just a bit surprised, pleasantly.

Ratboy Jr.
Ratboy Jr. is back! In fact, this is their 6th year playing music at Mountain Jam for the whole family to get down to. Yup, this ain't your Grandma's kids music. Marco Benevento's daughter Ruby says "Without Ratboy Jr. there'd be no music better than my dad's." They have opened for the Levon Helm Band and have played at such festivals as Top of the Park (MI), The Green River Festival (MA), The LEAF Festival (NC), Clearwater Festival (NY), Strange Creek (NY), etc. They are a rocking duo for all ages, a band for the whole fam, if you will. Jeff from OWTK, says Ratboy Jr's "intergalactic folk music is paired with curious subject matter like eating clouds, high five-ing shadows, big-headed Mexican wrestling hopefuls, space fuzz, and a guitar pickin' chickens." Time Out NY says "The two-man rock band performs its catchy (and often improvised) tunes with a side of onstage banter to break up the music." The big question that will be asked this year is who had more fun at Ratboy Jr's show? The little kids or the kids who drove them to Mountain Jam? The answer…Both!

The Georgia Department of Community Health confirmed Tuesday that a CD containing the personal data of Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids members was lost. According to multiple news reports, 2.9 million former and current recipients' data was lost. The data included personal, identifying information including addresses, birthdates, dates of eligibility, full names, Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids member identification numbers and Social Security Numbers.
This was also confirmed by Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), the company responsible for the files in question. "ACS has no indication that the CD that contained personal information is in the hands of an unauthorized party, or that any of the information on the CD has been misused. ACS takes the protection of personal information very seriously," ACS said in a statement. "Since the CD was lost in transit, we continue to work with the carrier to determine what happened and to locate the CD."
The Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) has taken the following actions:
- DCH is requiring ACS to provide all affected members with written notification.

If this thing takes off,is dogging going to consist of strange men hiding in bushes in local parks, pants down, 'groping' women 200 metres away with a laser pointer?
A Scottish company trialling "intimate communication over a distance" is seeking couples interested in drawing lines of light on each other's bodies rather than the more-traditional teledildonics hardware. The technology comes from Forres-based Distance Labs, who are looking for three couples in which one partner is based near …
If this thing takes off,is dogging going to consist of strange men hiding in bushes in local parks, pants down, 'groping' women 200 metres away with a laser pointer?
...in Russian hairdressers...
Wow what a total waste
It's Japanese. Those kinky guys get their kicks from just about anything, it seems. Call me when the first orgasm by light pen has happened.
Sex with a glowing ring? How passe (and sore).
Perhaps the word "sex" is more than a bit out of place in this description?
The actual technology could very well be succesful as a complementary and supportive technology for entertainment and the maintenance of the "fuzzy feeling" required in good quality intimate relationship. But to use the word "sex"- or to discuss "sex via a glowing ring??? It would have been better to use the word "love". I also believe that the use of the concept of "sex" in this instance is not going to do the product any good. It is very important to be good at managing peoples expectations - misrepresentation will push this kind of technology into obscurity.
I think it would be a shame to sabotage this idea with a badly thought through promotion - as it looks to be possible to create some nice IT related products using this technology.
I'll stay with sexting - so much more traditional.
The concept has been around for some time. Look it up - it is a real word , albeit a neologism. It has real potential in this internet remote sex age. Remote interactive sex toys. Woody Allen meets JG Ballard.
...announcing intention of divorce via Mutsutogo.
at last a real use for IT. That picture is a bit ambiguous - do you put it over your head, or elsewhere, or insert it somewhere?
Just masturbate into an envelope then post it to her. It's the thought that counts.
"to see if drawing lines of light on each other's bodies can replicate some of the ambiance involved in relationships."
Does it have an attachment that throws crockery or one that enables the partners to scream at deafening volumes at each other? How about the bit that storms out of the house slamming the door on the way?
Mines the one with the built in anti-stab vest.
that is all
Puts a new slant on "Spooky action at a distance".
Better to have my wife's hot girlfriend come
over and pretend she's my wife.
.... phucksake somebody call Captain Scarlet .... the Mysterons are back !!!!
Is that photo your idea of recent?
Congratulations El-Reg! Racist and complete bollox in the one article - an all-time low!
If you had entangled light pens, you wouldn't need a comms link.
Oh no! my mind has now strayed to entangled dildos and even the possibility
of couples getting their nasty bits entangled so that they can perform spooky bonking at a distance.
GIven their falling birthrates, the Japanese had better get busy with the real thing rather than playing with light pens.
It's a good thing I didn't have a mouthful of coffee or it would been an end to my laptop.

While HCL Technologies has been the best performer within Tier-I IT over the last year, the stock is still attractive with valuation of ~14x FY15F EPS of R99 given a strong EPS CAGR of 32% over FY13-15f. HCL Tech remains our top pick in Tier-I IT. We reiterate buy rating on the stock. In our view, growth diversification will lead to re-rating.
We raise our FY13-15f revenue to ~15% CAGR, driven by improved growth forecasts in core software to 9% CAGR versus 7% earlier. Our FY14/15f ebitda margins are higher by ~100 bps for each year given Q2 beat and increased comfort. We look for EPS CAGR of 32% over FY13-15f. We up our target multiple to 16x (from 15x) on greater growth and margin comfort, thus, our target price rises to Rs 1,700, based on 16x 1-year forward EPS (up to December 2015) of R106.3.
HCL Techs Q2 results were ahead of expectations on dollar revenue growth (4% q-o-q versus our estimate of 3.2% q-o-q), surprised positively on ebit margins (down 10 bps q-o-q versus our estimate of 100 bps drop) and were ahead on PAT (R1,500 crore versus our forecast of R1,410 crore). The companys Q2 results addressed key investor concerns raised in the previous quarter improved growth in core software (segment lagging until now), DSO days back in line with trend, an increase in dividend, continued momentum in IMS, and better-than-expected margin performance. Our confidence on growth increases on over $1 billion of signings (50% of which are non-IMS deals) and upside potential from white spaces targeted by the company like the multi-billion application modernisation opportunity in partnership with Computer Sciences Corp.

I though Vettel was very lucky not cause a crash when Hamilton went for the pass, because he jinked to the right and Hamilton only missed his right rear by a tiny amount..
The thing is Hamilton was able to get within DRS a few times without the aid of backmarkers, although he couldn't get close enough in the first sector to make the DRS work for him. There was nothing Karthikeyan could do in that slow moving chicane of a HRT, Vettel just got "unlucky".. But since I regard Vettel as one of the luckiest champions in recent years.. He was bound to have some bad luck eventually.. I have a feeling this bad luck may follow him in Brazil.

Before I head out for the holidays, a little sneak peek of the Winter 2012 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings…
Here's a little peek at Katy and Jeff's Southern wedding, complete with Spanish moss, Carolina gold rice (the wedding venue was a former rice plantation), and lots of wonderful local vendors including Carol Hannah of Project Runway fame.
Is that not the most gorgeous invitation suite you've ever seen? By Sideshow Press, it's the perfect balance of timeless simplicity and whimsy (I just love the Audubon details).

We don't know for sure that Dani and Sic didn't make amends. Dani seems to be a private person, and it seems to some extent Sic was too.
There's every chance that Dani had already made amends with Marco, away from the public eye.
I hope people won't keep bringing up handshake-gate following Marco's tragic death.

By recollection two new frames and a swingarm. Engine which was designed as a stress member has had nothing done. And this is over close to two years. HOnda starts the season tyres change causing chatter and within two months they have produce a brand new bike, if you cannot see the difference betweent these scenarios particularly in relation to how prepared one is to find a solution, hmmm not much to say really.

Emily Homan
Jackson State University head soccer coach Dean Joseph has named Emily Homan as the program's new assistant coach. Homan comes to JSU after serving as an assistant coach with the Upper Cumberland United Soccer Club in Cookeville, Tennessee.
As the assistant coach with Upper Cumberland she worked with the under U17 girls (from 2011-13) before working with the U14 girls in the spring of 2014. While at Upper Cumberland she was responsible for practice plans, scheduling, team workouts and travel. In 2011, she helped lead the U17 team to the Tennessee D3 state club semi-finals.
Homan played collegiate soccer at Tennessee Tech, where she played in 40 games over three seasons. She was a member of the Golden Eagles squad before suffering a career ending injury. As a freshman, she played in 19 games with three starts, logging 710 minutes of playing time. As a sophomore, she saw action in only two games before going down with a season-ending knee injury. That year she was named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll. In 2011, she returned to the pitch and played in 18 games with three starts. She took six shots, three of which were shots on goal, for a .500 shot-on-goal percentage.
While at Tennessee Tech, she worked in the sports information department and served as the color commentator for the soccer team through the OVC Digital Network in 2013. In 2014, Homan earned a journalism degree from Tennessee Tech. She also has a USSF National D coaching license.

The best thing about owning a store is getting to buy lots of beautiful things and not having the guilt of having overindulged on myself (okay, I do confess to a few lapses of, "five for the store, one for me," but what can I say…I love beautiful things). Every January/February there are the flurry of gift shows throughout the country but the one we prefer is in New York which, besides being a great show, has the advantage of being in New York. I don't really think there is much explanation needed there. Just thought we'd share some of the things we bought.
Here are some of the Frasadas we love to get. I discovered these on an earlier buying trip when I stumbled upon a booth in the Global/Handmade section of the show that looked like it had been descended upon by locusts. People were throwing blankets to each other and trying to be civilized when secretly wanting to rip a coveted textile out of someone's hand. It was amazing. But when I saw what they were all so excited about, I threw down my bag and jumped right in.
Every blanket is one-of-a-kind and what you pick at the show is what you get. Usually by the end of the first day there isn't much left. I've now learned to plan every one of my shows to start at this vendor so I can get first dibs. This year I found out some people had actually bought vendor passes so they could sneak in early. Grrrrrrr.
We've done really well with the Turkish towels, but when I saw these African ones, I just had to get them. Similar concept…thin, dry out quickly, work great as cover ups or table cloths…but the colors were so saturated and gorgeous I just couldn't resist. I bought the tea towels in the reverse colors for a nice combo.
If you wanted to take those towels to the beach, these very elegant baskets (that one thin line just made me so happy) would do just the trick.
And if you got cold, these absolutely stunning throws made of alpaca and synthetic wool are so soft and warm you will think you've died and gone to heaven. In fact I first saw these throws at the Unique LA event just before Christmas and I basically told my sister if she didn't get me one for Christmas she could just forget about Christmas dinner. There I go being a bully big sis again.
Really liked the marbleized effect of these baskets. They would be beautiful with plants or general catch-alls. Very unusual.
This new planter by Campo de Fiori called The Echeveria was a real show stopper and I bought a few of them in large sizes too. Not sure how the natural moss will hold up if you were to use them for succulents because moss and succulents aren't really bedfellows, but the shape of the planter is so nice it wouldn't really matter.
This planter is also quite cool and fairly lightweight. It reminded me of one from a Belgium company whose name escapes me at the moment. It's pretty large with a great balance of rustic and modern.
From the same company we also got these Peacock Planters which we had last year in a different finish and they just flew out the door. In fact I just featured it in my last blog post. They will also be available in a celedon green.
Then there's the truly unusual. Whenever we go to any show we are always hoping to find something that makes us stand up and say, "Wow, I've never seen that," because unfortunately or not, we've seen a lot. And these planters by a local Brooklyn artist did just that. Previously he did objects for huge events and store displays but decided to create a line that can be more easily reproduced to keep costs in check and make it more affordable. I didn't buy this huge one (not practical or affordable), but the following are so amazing I just can't wait until they arrive.
We will have several sizes and styles arriving in 8-10 weeks which will be well worth checking out.
Anything with birds usually peeks our attention and these cute beverage dispensers definitely did that. The ice sits separately in the center and the little bird sits invitingly on the spout waiting for you to pull.
Also these Bird Vases from Chive were fantastic. Sort of the Adams Family meets Downton Abbey. I loved them. We also got some really great little colored planters and vases from Chive as well.
And finally these beautiful bells we didn't get (yet) as we're on the fence about cost but not about beauty. But they are handmade by a really talented artist in Brooklyn (hmm, a lot of talent in Brooklyn it seems). She also made these:
So that was the New York Gift Show highlights. We also purchased some beautiful jewelry, linen scarfs, gifts and lots more. Three straight days of walking from 10am until 6pm writing orders. You can start playing those violins for me right now.
Some items will be arriving right away and some will take their time so please visit us often to see what's arrived.

Officials: U.S. tried to rescue Foley
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sent U.S. troops to Syria earlier this summer to rescue a number of Americans held by a violent extremist group, including slain journalist James Foley, but did not find the hostages, senior Obama administration officials said Wednesday.
The officials said the rescue mission was authorized after intelligence agencies believed they had identified the location inside Syria where the hostages were being held. But the several dozen special operations troops who were dropped by aircraft into Syria did not find them engaged in a firefight with Islamic State militants before departing.
The officials said a number of militants but no Americans were killed. One American sustained a minor injury when an aircraft was hit, according to the officials, who described the mission under ground rules that they not be identified. They did so one day after the militants released a video showing the beheading of Foley and threatening to kill a second hostage, Steven Sotloff, if U.S. airstrikes against the militants in Iraq continued.
The officials would not say specifically when or where the operation took place, citing the need to protect operational details in order to preserve the ability to carry out future rescue missions.

In one hour, Paul was asked just two questions. The first was, "Is it worth going to war to prevent a nuclear weapon in Iran?" To that, Paul responded:
No, it isn't worthwhile. The only way you would do that is — you would have to go through Congress. We — we as Commander-in-Chief aren't making the decision to go to war. You know, the old-fashioned way, the Constitution, you go to the Congress and find out if our national security is threatened. And I'm afraid what's going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on against Iraq.
And, you know, they didn't have nuc—, weapons of mass destruction. And it was orchestrated and it was, to me, a tragedy of what's happened these past — last 10 years, the death and destruction, $4 billion — $4 trillion in debt. So no, it's not worthwhile going to war. If you do, you get a declaration of war and you fight it and you win it and get it over with.
He was then interrupted by moderator Scott Pelley, who said, "Thank you, Congressman" before turning his attention to Rick Perry.
Later, Paul was asked to weigh in on the issue of torture, but when he began to assert that torture is illegal — both nationally and internationally — he was interrupted and asked to clarify how he defined torture. Paul answered:
Well, waterboarding is torture. And — and many other — it's ill—, it's illegal under international law and under our law. It's also immoral. The — and it's also very impractical. There's no evidence that you really get reliable evidence. Why would you accept the position of torturing 100 people because you know one person might have information? And that's what you do when you accept the principal of a — of — of — of torture. I think it's — I think it's uncivilized and prac—, and has no practical advantages and is really un-American to accept on principal that we will torture people that we capture.
And that was Paul's time in the limelight. The remainder of the hour was allotted to the establishment favorites on stage.
Paul's campaign was infuriated by the treatment of their candidate on Saturday, and issued the following statement:
Ron Paul consistently polls among the top three in the key early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. He is polling in double digits in most respected polls.
Congressman Paul is ranked among the top three in fundraising results.
Congressman Paul serves on the House Foreign Relations Committee.
Congressman Paul is a veteran.
And, Congressman Paul has contrasting views on foreign policy that many Americans find worthy of inquiry and discussion.
CBS's treatment of Congressman Paul is disgraceful, especially given that tonight's debate centered on foreign policy and national security.
Congressman Paul was only allocated 90 seconds of speaking in one televised hour. If we are to have an authentic national conversation on issues such as security and defense, we can and must do better to ensure that all voices are heard.
CBS News, in their arrogance, may think they can choose the next president. Fortunately, the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, and across America get to vote and not [just] the media elites.
Likewise, Paul's campaign manager John Tate castigated the media in an email:
What a joke! It literally made me sick watching the mainstream media once again silence the one sane voice in this election. The one dissenter to a decade of unchecked war. The one candidate who stands for true defense and actual constitutional government. Ron Paul was silenced, in perhaps the most important debate of the cycle.
It is worth noting that the only two questions posed to Paul on-air concern issues which are more of a hard-sell for the American people, requiring far more than the allotted 30 seconds to explain and defend.
According to Kurt Nimmo, it is for that reason that Paul should have been permitted more air time. As noted by Nimmo, Paul was the only person on stage who believes that the President is "obliged to follow the Constitution and go through Congress before attacking [a] country." The other candidates — who all seemed to share the same philosophies of how to deal with Iran — were given more time to explain their positions, despite the redundancies. The only candidate who was not permitted to fully articulate his position was Paul, the one candidate who held a different position from all the rest.
It has already been confirmed in a scientific study undertaken by the University of Minnesota that Ron Paul has been given the least amount of speaking time of any Republican candidate during the debates, despite the fact that Paul repeatedly comes in third in national polls. Despite Paul's top-tier status, he has received less speaking time than even Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum, who have been soundly defeated by Paul in the polls.
The decision by CBS to afford Paul just 89 seconds in the televised portion of the debate seems to be part of a deliberate plan to advocate for specific candidates. This became clear when an email was inadvertently sent to Michele Bachmann's campaign that indicated that certain candidates were being provided less air time than others as part of a CBS policy.
Exeter Patch reports,
Michele Backmann's campaign made a similar claim [regarding minimal debate coverage], releasing an email it said was inadvertently sent to Communications Director Alice Stewart by a CBS employee that said Bachmann wasn't going to get many questions, so they should try to get another candidate for a post-debate show.
"I was just speaking with Alice Stewart ... about the Congresswoman or a senior member if [sic] her staff joining you for the webshow. She said she would be happy to arrange," said one CBS employee in an email sent Saturday afternoon, hours before the debate.
John Dickerson, a CBS News political analyst, then responded, "Okay let's keep it loose though since she's not going to get many questions and she's nearly off the charts in the hopes that we can get someone else."
The campaign said the email indicated "a planned effort to limit questions to Michele Bachmann at tonight's CBS/National Journal Debate."
Paul Joseph Watson determined based on the treatment of Bachmann's camp, "Obviously that policy of limiting air time to certain candidates was also applied to Congressman Ron Paul." He added that there have been clear indications that the media's unfair treatment of Ron Paul is intentional:
After Ron Paul finished a close second to Bachmann in the highly regarded Ames straw poll, and was subsequently blacklisted by the corporate press, Politico's Roger Simon said the reason for him being ignored was that "the media doesn't believe he has a hoot in hell's chance of winning the Iowa caucuses, the Republican nomination or winning the presidency, so we're gonna ignore him."
"We are in the business of kicking candidates out of the race," CNN host Howard Kurtz responded.
Watson concluded, "Despite his popularity, the establishment media has deliberately downplayed and sidelined Paul's campaign."
