Tips For Late Tax Filers
OMAHA - It's April 15th, the day many Americans dread most. Today is the deadline to file your 2013 income tax returns. Internal Revenue Service spokesman Christopher Miller says those still working on their taxes need to take extra precautions to prevent errors. Miller says there is about a 1% chance of making a mistake e-filing compared to a 20% chance with paper returns. Miller says so far about 90% of all Nebraskans who have filed returns, have done so electronically. He says if you're not able to complete your tax forms by midnight tonight, you can file and extension. That will give you until October 15th to file your tax return, however payments to the IRS are still due today otherwise there will be interest and penalties added to that bill. Miller says if you are unable to pay your taxes in full, to contact the IRS to work out a payment plan. He says about 45,000 Nebraskans will file extensions this year.

We had an outstanding time at Cabot Cove. We were very concerned that our thirteen year old, was going to be bored to death. Terri, the inn keeper, couldn't have been more helpful. She had great ideas, from detailed directions of the perfect lighthouse tour, of 6 different spots...to the best time to head out with the tides for kayaks.... More

Yep. It's just Braxton hicks contractions, more than likely, since you weren't dilated. A lot of women start feeling them around 20-25 weeks, even though they technically start around week 6. If you have more than 4 in one hour, and they're consistently growing longer and stronger, that is when you need to worry. Good luck with your little one!posted 10/03/2011 by goblinbug

A package of ethics-minded measures are in a recently signed bill sponsored by State Rep. Al Riley (D-Olympia Fields), chairman of the Illinois House Mass Transit Committee.
Part of why the measures – targeting Chicago area transit boards – are needed, Riley says, is because there seems to be a lot riding on getting a position on the board.
"I think that, over time, they've gotten insular," he says, "and because those positions are coveted more for power rather than trying to deliver efficient services, they've kind of gotten away from what their initial charge is supposed to be."
Measures include revolving-door provisions and reporting when an employment contract is in six figures.

Feds to target newspapers, radio for pot ads
Story by
Michael Montgomery
Federal prosecutors are preparing to target newspapers, radio stations and other media outlets that advertise medical marijuana dispensaries in California, another escalation in the Obama administration's newly invigorated war against the state's pot industry.
This month, U.S. attorneys representing four districts in California announced that the government would single out landlords and property owners who rent buildings or land where dispensaries sell or cultivators grow marijuana.
U.S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy, whose district includes Imperial and San Diego counties, said marijuana advertising is the next area she's "going to be moving onto as part of the enforcement efforts in Southern California." Duffy said she could not speak for the three other U.S. attorneys covering the state, but noted their efforts have been coordinated so far.
"I'm not just seeing print advertising," Duffy said in an interview with California Watch and KQED. "I'm actually hearing radio and seeing TV advertising. It's gone mainstream. Not only is it inappropriate – one has to wonder want kind of message we're sending to our children – it's against the law."
Federal law prohibits people from placing ads for illegal drugs, including marijuana, in "any newspaper, magazine, handbill or other publication." The law could conceivably extend to online ads; the U.S. Department of Justice recently reached a $500 million settlement with Google for selling illegal ads linking to online Canadian pharmacies.
Duffy said her effort against TV, radio or print outlets would first include "going after these folks with ... notification that they are in violation of federal law." She noted that she also has the power to seize property or prosecute in civil and criminal court.
William G. Panzer, an attorney who specializes in marijuana defense cases, said publishers may have a reason to worry. Federal law singles out anyone who "places" an illegal ad in a newspaper or publication. Nevertheless, Panzer said he is not aware of a single appellate case dealing with this section of the law.
"Technically, if I'm running the newspaper and somebody gives me money and says, 'Here's the ad,' I'm the one who is physically putting the ad in my newspaper," he said. "I think this could be brought against the actual newspaper. Certainly, it's arguable, but the statute is not entirely clear on that."
Panzer said the penalty for a first offense is a maximum four years in prison and eight years for someone with a prior felony conviction.
In the federal law, an exception is made for ads that advocate the use of illegal drugs but don't explicitly offer them for sale or distribution. Newspapers, Panzer said, could argue that they have a right under the First Amendment to run the ads, and any "prior restraint" before publication is itself illegal.
Duffy said she believes the law gives her the right to prosecute newspaper publishers or TV station owners.
"If I own a newspaper ... or I own a TV station, and I'm going to take in your money to place these ads, I'm the person who is placing these ads," Duffy said. "I am willing to read (the law) expansively and if a court wants to more narrowly define it, that would be up to the court."
Seven states, including California, allow for medical marijuana to be distributed in dispensaries, though more than 200 California cities and nearly two dozen counties have bans or moratoriums in place on storefront pot businesses. The industry has otherwise exploded in recent years, including a marked increase in delivery services.
Ngaio Bealum, publisher of West Coast Cannabis, described as "the Sunset magazine of weed," said he receives a significant portion of his revenue from dispensary ads, though he has tough competition for ad revenue from alternative newspapers and even The Sacramento Bee, which began running print advertisements for dispensaries this year.

The Rose Petal Beach is my eighth novel, which was shortlisted for the British Book Awards of 2012
The blurb says . . .
'I could kill them for what they've done to me.' I said those words. And I meant them at the time. But what would you do, what would you say if your husband was accused of something terrible and the accuser is someone you trusted with your life? That doesn't mean I wanted this to happen. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. And I didn't want to be scared that every knock on the door is going to be the police, coming to take me away. What's going to happen to my children? What's going to happen to me? My name is Tamia Challey and this is my story.
The blurb means . . .
The Rose Petal Beach is my eighth novel and it tells the tale of Tamia Challey whose life is completely upended when her husband, Scott, is arrested in front of her and their two children. Tami has no idea why this has happened, but when she discovers what he's been accused of and by whom, she realises nothing will be the same again. As the book goes on Tami's situation becomes more and more complicated until she ends up as the main suspect of a serious crime that she may or may not have committed . . .
The Rose Petal Beach is probably my most conmplicated novel to date, with several narrators, none of which you're ever sure is telling the truth. I hope you enjoy it.

Come see the XV Crosstrek at Patriot Subaru!
There's a lot to love here!
There's a lot to love here!
The experts at Motor Trend checked out the all-new 2013 Subaru Crosstrek, and Loved it! "It has that special bit of character that makes you want to climb in and drive it. Anywhere. Because you can." Motor Trend also said, "Subaru does 'lifestyle vehicles' - vehicles that help define who a person is- well, and the XV could well be its best yet.":
Here's the skinny: at the heart the Subaru XV is an all-new 2012 Impreza Sport, the five door hatchback version of Subaru's popular C-segment car. The Impreza itself plays host to a number of improvements over the previous generation car, including a windshield pushed forward nearly 8 inches; a redeveloped suspension that is stiffer and more responsive, improved aerodynamics, and improved fuel economy thanks to reduced weight and a more efficient CVT. Its longer wheelbase also provides more rear legroom without lengthening the actual car. The old SOHC 2.5 liter boxer four has been ditched in favor of a fresh twin cam 2.0 liter mill (don't worry it is still horizontally opposed) with slightly less power but improved efficiency and fuel economy. Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive system remains standard equipment.
The design works. And it works really, really well.
Base Price: $22,790. Talk to Patriot Subaru for all the options!
Most noticeably, the car rides higher than the Impreza. Designed to compete in the white-hot sporty CUV segment, the XV gets 8.7-inches of ground clearance. The front and rear bumpers are also revised, and have been sculpted in the wind tunnel for improved aerodynamics and styled in the studio for increased curb appeal. The front grille is unique to the XV, as are the silver and black 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, the only ones initially available for the car. Those contrasting plastic wheelarch covers are also new with cutaway ends that reduce their visual heft. Chief stylist for the XV, long-time Subaru designer Masahiro Kobayashi (responsible for the first-generation Forester, among other vehicles), was inspired by the influx of technical outdoor clothing and gadgets that have found a home with today's trendy urbanites.

Napalm Death -- Ottawa, Ontario -- October 9th, 2011
I actually saw Napalm Death twice this weekend, Friday October 7th in Toronto at the Wreckroom and Sunday October 9th at Mavricks in Ottawa. Both shows had the exact same setlist (the exact same as Windsor earlier in the week too) so I'll post those first.
1. Downbeat Clique
2. Strong Arm
3. Unchallenged Hate
4. Continuing War On Stupidity
5. Next On The List
6. When All Is Said And Done
7. Lucid Fairytale
8. Social Sterility
9. Life and Limb
10. Lowlife (Cryptic Slaughter)
11. Quarantined
12. The Code Is Red...Long Live The Code
13. Mentally Murdered
14. On The Brink of Extinction
15. Conform (Siege)
16. Scum
17. Life?
18. Control
20. You Suffer
21. Nazi Punks Fuck Off (Dead Kennedys)
22. Suffer The Children
23. Silence Is Deafening
Both shows were awesome.
Fridays was opened by local bands Redeemer, Sepulchur and Murdersquad T.O. I wasn't interested in any of the openers so I showed up late and missed Redeemer. Sepulchur were a pretty decent thrash band and Murdersquad was a decent grind band. Murdersquad's singer had a very unique delivery; from the standard deathgrowls and screeches but mixed with King Diamond-like high's and yelling that actually sounded like a seven year old child. The singer did a great job alternating between all of them in the same verses but it got a little tiresome after forty minutes. Napalm Death was awesome that night. Towards the beginning of the set I was right up front of the stage but some really drunk girl who had been spilling beer all over the place during Murdersquad was right behind me so I got out of there instead of getting soaked. The vocals sounded a little rough towards the beginning of the set but by the third song sounded a lot better. And as much as I love Barney his "singing" voice, like at the end of
Downbeat Clique
, is fucking terrible. The rest of the band was spot on, but Mitch Harris looked really sick. Crowd was a decent size. The Wreckroom was pretty much full, a couple hundred people, which was less depressing when I saw them at the Opera House a few years ago and the place was less than half full.
I actually wanted to see the openers of Sundays show but I showed up late (9:00pm) and Fuck the Facts was already done. I was a little pissed I missed them and a little more pissed when Barney said they were "manic". The other openers were Mortor and Deformity, neither of which I've heard of but I'd imagine they were local bands too. As I said above, Napalm played the exact same set, even had the same stage banter after the same songs but it was still awesome. There was a little less talking than Friday. The club was much smaller but still packed. I'd guess a hundred people but I have no idea. They were a lot more manic than Toronto, probably due to Toronto getting every tour that usually comes through in Canada and Ottawa not getting as many. Mitch looked much better.
Overall, Sundays show had the potential to be the better of the two since I really wanted to see Fuck the Facts. I at least got to see some other bands Friday (even though I didn't care about them), so that puts Fridays show out front for a moment. But Sunday's show was a four minute walk from my hotel...so Sunday wins.
Both nights the band ruled. It's kinda sad that after 25+ years they're playing these small venues and bars when every other band I see is playing to larger and larger crowds. It was cool to be in such an intimate venue. Set highlights from both nights were
Downbeat Clique, Unchallenged Hate, When All Is Said And Done, Quarantined, On The Brink of Extinction
, the five song set from Scum and
Suffer The Children
. I've heard better Siege songs so I wished they'd played a faster one. And it was too bad they didn't play
the Kill
. It's seventeen fucking seconds, they could've fit it in. No complaints about the song selection overall, with something like 200 songs to choose from I was happy.
Oh and for anyone interested the new song
is really good and the album comes out in February. It had a really catchy chorus, went something like this:
(really fast) Quarantined, Quarantined, Quarantined
(faster) Quarantined
05/20 -- Weedeater
05/28 -- Sick of it All
06/03 -- Nadja
06/10 -- Sunn 0)))
06/19 -- Nails
06/25 -- Madball

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
When we talk about risk, we're often looking at the negative side of the equation: the reckless actions that we regret later. But there's another aspect to risk taking. Without risk, it's virtually impossible to have reward.
"Fear is a double-edged sword," says Barbara Stoker, author of "Positive Risk: How Smart Women Use Passion to Break Through Their Fears," in an interview with Ladies Home Journal. "On the one side it keeps you safe, but it usually holds you back from doing those things that really matter."
The goal, then, is to find and encourage our positive risk-taking behaviors. Here's what to look for:
1. Positive risk takers are more informed than rash.
Successful CEOs often seem to fly by the seat of their pants, but nothing could be farther from the truth, according to Rafe Sagarin. In a column on Business Insider, he writes:
"In short, being a successful risk taker means having a sense of the environment that is deep, holistic, and flexible. What kind of handicapper can call up this trifecta? One who works hard at cultivating information. This kind of sense develops from intense observation of the patterns and signals of change in the world around you, and results in an earned degree of confidence when stepping off into the necessarily unknown future."
2. They take risks only when they need to.
Good leaders don't pick the riskiest option for no reason. They do their due diligence, get the opinion of trusted advisers, and pick the best time, tools, and people for the job.
3. They look for the middle way.
"Discomfort and uncertainty show up as soon as we engage in the risk. It's a bitter pill to swallow up front in the hopes of a possible, but not guaranteed, benefit down the road," consultant Doug Sundheim tells the Toronto Globe and Mail. "Conversely, we experience the costs of avoiding risks further down the road. Low growth, lack of accomplishment, and limited fulfillment take time to manifest."
Sundheim tells his clients to start with a cost-benefit analysis, both to assess the situation and to offset anxiety. Make a list of the pros and cons of taking the risk, and then minimize the dangers where you can, he advises.

If you installed Nexus Repository Manager Pro, the procurement Suite is already installed and available via the Artifact Procurement option in the Enterprise menu of the user interface.
This section will walk through the process of creating and configuring a hosted repository named Approved From Central which will be procured from the Central proxy repository. Setting up a procured repository consists of the following steps:
- Enable the remote index downloads for the proxy repository, that will act as the source of the procured components.
- Create a hosted repository, which will be the target of the procurement.
- Configure procurement for the hosted repository.
- Configure the procurement rules.
Before configuring a procured repository, you need to make sure that you have enabled Remote Index downloading for the proxied repository that will serve as the source for your procured repository.
If you are attempting to procure components from a remote repository that does not have a repository index, you can still use the procurement suite. Without a remote repository index, you will need to configure procurement rules manually without the benefit of the already populated repository tree shown in Section 10.5, "Configuring Procurement".
When you configure procurement rules for a hosted repository, the administrative interface displays the repository as a tree view using the Maven repository format of the of groups and components using populated from remote repository's index. Nexus Repository Manager ships with a set of proxy repositories, but remote index downloading is disabled by default.
To use procurement effectively, you will need to tell Nexus Repository Manager Pro to download the remote indexes for a proxy repository. Click on Repositories under Views/Repositories in the main menu, then click on the Central Repository in the list of repositories. Click on the Configuration tab, locate Download Remote Indexes, and switch this option to True as shown in Figure 10.3, "Enabling Remote Index Downloads for a Proxy Repository".
Click on the Save button in the dialog shown in Figure 10.3, "Enabling Remote Index Downloads for a Proxy Repository". Right-click on the repository row in the Repositories list and select Update Index. The repository manager will then download the remote repository index and recreate the index for any repository groups that contain this proxied repository.
The repository manager may take a few minutes to download the remote index for a large repository. Depending on your connection to the Internet, this process can take anywhere from under a minute to a few minutes. The size of the remote index for the Central Repository currently exceeds 50MB and is growing in parallel to the size of the repository itself.
To check on the status of the remote index download, click on System Feeds under Views/Repositories in the main menu. Click on the last feed to see a list of System Changes in Nexus. If you see a log entry like the one highlighted in Figure 10.4, "Verification that the Remote Index has been Downloaded", the repository manager has successfully completd the download of the remote index from the Central Repository.
When you configure procurement you are establishing a relationship between a proxy repository and a hosted repository. The hosted repository will be the static container for the components, while the proxy repository acts as the component source. To create a hosted repository, select Repositories from the Views/Repositories section of the main menu, and click on the Add button selecting Hosted Repository as shown in Figure 10.5, "Adding the "Approved From Central" Hosted Repository".
Selecting Hosted Repository will then load the configuration
form. Create a repository with a Repository ID of
approved-from-central and a name of
Approved From Central. Make
the release policy
Release. Click the Save button to create the new
hosted repository.
At this point, the list of Repositories will have a new Hosted repository named +Approved From Central=. The next step is to start procurement for the new repository. When you do this, you are establishing a relationship between the new hosted repository and another repository as source of components. Typically, this source is a proxy repository. In this case, we're configuring procurement for the repository and we're telling the Procurement Suite to procure components from the Central proxy repository. To configure this relationship and to start procurement, click on Artifact Procurement under the Enterprise menu. In the Procurement panel, click on Add Procured Repository as shown in Figure 10.6, "Adding a Procured Repository".
You will then be presented with the Start Procurement dialog as shown in Figure 10.7, "Configuring Procurement for a Hosted Repository". Select the "Central" proxy repository from the list of available Source repositories.
Procurement is now configured and started. If you are using an instance of Nexus Repository Manager Pro installed on localhost port 8081,
you can configure your clients to reference the new repository at
By default, all components are denied and without further customization of the procurement rules no components will be available in the new repository.
One interesting thing to note about the procured repository is that the repository type changed once procurement
was started. When procurement is activated for a hosted repository, the repository will not show up in the
repositories list as a User Managed Repository. Instead it will show up as a proxy repository in the list of
Nexus Managed Repositories. Use the drop-down for User Managed/Nexus Managed Repositories in the Repositories
list. Click Refresh in the Repositories list, and look at the Approved From Central repository in the list of
Nexus Managed Repositories. You will see that the repository type column contains
proxy as shown in
Figure 10.8, "Hosted Repository is a Nexus Managed Proxy Repository while Procurement is Active". When procurement is started for a hosted repository, it is effectively a proxy
repository, and when it is stopped it will revert back to being a normal hosted repository.
Once you've defined the relationship between a hosted repository and a proxy repository and you have started procurement, you can start defining the rules that will control which components are allowed in a procured repository and which components are denied. You can also start and stop procurement. This section details some of the administration panels and features that are available for a procured repository.
A procurement rule is a rule to allow or deny the procurement of a group, component, or a collection of groups or components. You load the Artifact Procurement interface by selecting Artifact Procurement in the Enterprise menu of the left-hand navigation. Clicking on this link will load a list of procured repositories. Clicking on the repository will display the proxied source repository and the current content of the procured repository in a tree as shown in Figure 10.9, "Viewing a Repository in the Artifact Procurement Interface".
This section will illustrate the steps required for blocking access to a specific component and then selectively allowing access to a particular version of that same component. This is a common use case in organizations that want to standardize specific versions of a particular dependency.
If you are attempting to procure components from a remote repository that does not have a repository index, you can still use the procurement suite. Without a remote repository index, you will need to configure procurement rules manually without the benefit of the already populated repository tree shown in this section.
The directory tree in Figure 10.9, "Viewing a Repository in the Artifact Procurement Interface" is the index of the proxy repository from which components are being procured.


text: Have you ever had to save a game because you knew something difficult was coming up? I think we all have. I can't begin to tell you how many times I regretted NOT saving right before a boss battle or difficult battle. Usually this has happened when playing X-COM and Jagged Alliance 2, and Fallout 2, Advanced Wars, etc. (Where you can basically save at ANY time) but you get so caught up in the moment and/or storyline you completely forget. So if you'll join with me in this discussion, can YOU name any games you'd wish you HAD saved before you continued? Mine are Jagged Alliance 2 and Commandos.

Jennifer Love-Hewitt's ghostly peeperJennifer Love Hewitt claims a ghost ogled her in the shower.
The stunning actress has revealed she was pestered by the paranormal Peeping Tom after meeting with an exorcist to research her role in new TV show 'Ghost Whisperers' - in which she plays a woman who communicates with the dead.
Shortly afterwards, Jennifer began noticing "strange things" going on at home, including lights flickering on and off and mysterious footsteps.
But her most terrifying experience came when she was showering and turned to see a ghostly male figure leering at her naked body.
She revealed: "The ghost had a crush on me and liked to see me showering."
Jennifer is not the only star to have been haunted by ghosts recently.
Earlier this week, Robbie Williams revealed he sees ghost dogs.
The pop heartthrob - who recently confessed he believes aliens are about to invade the Earth - claims he sees spirits of dead pooches on a regular basis.
He confessed: "I've seen ghost dogs, loads of them."

숭그리당 07-25 00:04 , Hit : 1495
1. A potential "four" and "five dimensional" capability, wherein the force-vector direction as well as the magnitude of force is measured. (4D 혹은 5D 기술)
2. An ability to detect dynamic events over a very large area, also with temporary data storage.
3. An ability to have the surface distortion or touching input means of any material, completely removed from the actual sensing of the input. Specialized capacitive screens and the like are not required. However, an LCD display screen can for example, be used to form a portion of the surface.
4. The high resolution obtainable in larger surfaces such as one meter square or larger (3'x3') is unmatched, being capable of reaching greater than one part in 10,000 in each direction of the surface (100 million resolvable points on the surface).
5. Unlike most other types of displays, several embodiments of the disclosed invention give a desirable tactile feedback since it is the actual physical deformation (and the amount thereof) that is responsive. Thus the feedback to a finger (or other member) in terms of resistive force is proportional to the desired input. This tactile feedback is particularly desirable in for example the automobile where one should not take one's eyes off the road.
6. Another advantage of the disclosed invention is that it can create a touch screen data entry of very high resolution with such entry made directly on the screen. In this application the 3-D capability allows one to press harder and make a darker (or wider) line for example, just as one would do in normal practice.
7. The reliability of some of the touch screen prior art is questionable. Capacitive devices in close contact are subject to wear, humidity, electric fields and other variables for example. In addition, many prior art touch screens are of specialized construction and would be quite expensive to replace if they were broken, especially as the size increases. In the case of the invention, sensing of the screen is non-contact, and the sensing screen can be as simple as a piece of plate glass, or a wall.
Many touch screen designs appear to have problems connected with electro-magnetic radiation and can pose a problem in high security areas. This problem does not exist with the disclosed invention.
8. The invention is easily capable of multi-point operation or even detection of complex area "signatures" not just "points."
9. A further advantage of the inventions ability to detect multiple input signatures, etc. at any point on its face, therefore a keyboard, a piano keyboard, a joy stick can be artificially created at any point under computer control or simply by random human command. This is a particular desirability in a car where you cannot necessarily keep your eye on the data entry.
10. Common Systems. In addition to the above advantages over the prior art, the invention also has an advantage that it employs essentially standard hardware for any screen size. The same technology is applicable for a screen or "pad" of say 3''.times.4'' (8.times.10 cm) such as might be in a car dashboard all the way to screens or digitizers; the size of a wall. This allows the cost to be reduced as the technology can be shared.
11. Variable and "Intelligent" orientation. It is also useful therefore to replace in many cases keyboards which have continuous arrays of keys, be they optical, mechanical, contact, electro mechanical or whatever. Unlike most keyboards the disclosed type can "float" (i.e. be at any zone on the surface) which is convenient for people who know how to type but cannot see the keys for example, while driving.
12. Tactile feedback, including programmable. The unique tactile feedback application aspect of the invention allows one to essentially use a deformable member as a sort of miniature joy stick for each finger or to rock back and forth between one or more fingers to create different signals. In addition, programmable tactile feedback such as air blasts, vibration, etc., can also be added easily to the touch surface.
13. Another advantage of the invention is that it can detect a force or displacement signature such as of an object that would be picked up by a robot hand. Of interest as well is the ability to sense the signature of someone, even one who would enter a signature of his palm or what have you. This may be of considerable use to the blind and other physically disabled persons, allowing use of non-conventional inputs (e.g. elbows toes, etc) and the tactile feedback afforded is particularly helpful here.
14. In a gaming and simulation context, the invention has the advantage that it is low in cost, and provides a method by which the game player can participate in a physical way, just as in real sports, and the like. The description in the patent makes it sound like a Kinect-like or Wii-like gaming experience

Brandon Boudreaux - along with Bowen Woodson - was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team on Monday
May 20, 2013
IRVING, Texas - Two Green Wave baseball players were honored by Conference USA on Monday, as senior Brandon Boudreaux and junior Bowen Woodson were named to the All-Academic Team for their efforts in the classroom.
Boudreaux, from Mandeville, La., graduated last weekend from the A.B. Freeman School of Business with a degree in management. He maintained a GPA of 3.69 throughout his academic tenure, while notching a 3.89 GPA last fall. He is a repeat selection to the squad, as he was named to the team in 2012.
Woodson, a native of Vicksburg, Miss., has posted a cumulative GPA of 3.45 while studying chemistry. He recorded a GPA of 3.75 in the fall of 2012.
Boudreaux has started 53 games this season, mostly in center field. He has posted a batting average of .236, while collecting nine doubles and 47 total hits. He leads the team with 31 walks, and is second on the team with a fielding percentage of .992 and 33 runs. He notched his 200th career hit against ECU on April 14. He has 12 multi-hit games to his name this year, and has swiped seven bases in ten attempts on the season.
Woodson has predominately manned second base, starting 41 games there, but has also seen time in right field and center field. The junior is one of five Greenies to hit a home run this season, and his 20 RBIs are fifth most on the team. He holds a batting average of .242 this year, and is perfect in his five steal attempts.
In order to be recognized, a student-athlete must hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.2, be of at least sophomore academic standing and be a starter or key reserve for their team.
The other recipients this year are Drew Reynolds (ECU, Jr., 3.43, Physical Education), Caleb Barker (Houston, Jr., 3.86, Organizational Leadership and Supervision), Daniel Poncedeleon (Houston, Jr. 3.27, Psychology), Ethan Gross (Memphis, Jr., 3.88, Supply Chain Management), Tucker Tubbs (Memphis, So., 3.90, Accounting), Sam Moll (Memphis, Jr., 3.71, Accounting), Zach Willis (Memphis, Jr., 3.88, Accounting), Austin Roussel (Southern Miss, Sr. 3.40, Construction Engineering), Ryan Prinzing (UAB, Jr., 3.62, Management), Tyler Mims (UAB, So., 3.92, Industrial Distribution) and Parker Webster (UCF, Jr., 3.50, Interdisciplinary Studies).
The Greenies will travel to Houston Monday afternoon for the Conference USA Championships. They will practice early Tuesday morning before playing Southern Miss at 3pm CT on Wednesday afternoon. The team will have Thursday off. Game two for the Green Wave will be played against ECU on Friday at 11am. The third game for the Greenies will be against Houston on Saturday at 3pm CT. The winner of the two pods will face each other in the Conference USA Championship Game on Sunday at 1pm CT.
All games will be broadcast on 88.3 FM, and stats will be made available through TulaneGreenWave.com.
Fans can follow the Tulane baseball program on Twitter (@GreenWaveBSB) or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/GreenWaveBaseball.

A man accused of breaking into 2 homes this summer in Pamlico County and stealing nearly $25,000 in cash and jewelry is now behind bars.
The Pamlico County Sheriff's Office says Stephen Stilley of Bayboro broke into a home back in June and stole a box containing nearly $22,000. The damaged money box was recovered at Stilley's home but the money has not been recovered. They also say he broke into another home August 5th and stole jewelry valued at just over $2,000. Deputies say a portion of the jewelry was recovered at Stilleys home. His bond was set at $65,000.

Cape Town - The Stormers have decided to move Gio Aplon from wing to fullback for the Super Rugby derby against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Aplon replaced Conrad Jantjes in a backline that will also include the dangerous Juan de Jongh at inside centre instead of Jean de Viliers who moves to the wing.
Allister Coetzee, the Stormers coach, said the selections for the weekend were as a result of a horses-for-courses policy.
"At Bloemfontein there is a harder, quicker pitch which means that we may need extra speed coming from the back," said Coetzee.
"With Aplon at No 15 it gives us another dimension on attack.
"Jean (De Villiers) and Juan (De Jongh) have proved to be outstanding No 12s and it's important that you get your best players on the pitch for a match like this one.
"Both have been playing really well this season and since it's a fast pitch we're preparing for explosive running along the backline."
Stormers scrumhalf Dewaldt Duvenage did not train yesterday because he was feeling some stiffness in his upper legs.
"We decided to rest Dewaldt today as a precaution," said Coetzee. "There is no injury concern, the break gives him a chance to shake off the stiffness but he'll be fine by Saturday."
The Stormers seemed to made a break with the France-bound Ricky Januarie because he was not even named on the reserves bench and opted for rookie Louis Schreuder instead.

50 Shades of Mash
The day had come to open the pie n mash shop the small seaside town had been waiting for weeks. Looking through the window and watching the progress of the workers inside. fiddling with his brisket and trimming his edges while Mrs Pastry stirred her liquor and warmed her mash. At eleven o'clock Saturday morning the doors were opened to the waiting queue, as they entered the shop with it's warm atmosphere clean décor and pictures on the wall of pie shops gone by bringing back memories for lots of London customers." 1 pie 2 mash "asked the first customer to the pretty girl behind the counter in her clean check uniform "2 pies 3 mash, eels and liquor" and so it went on as the queue filtered in. The queue was long and soon enough they ran out of pies , lock the door said Mrs Pastry and then ventured outside with a tray of tea and coffee and danced along the line handing out the drinks and Christmas wishes singing as she went. Meanwhile Mr Pastry made more pies and they were soon back on track. This went on all day with compliments from all the customers, by five o'clock the shop was empty and the couple started to clear up, still both singing away washing up and wiping down. It had gone very quiet when Mrs Pastry turned to see Mr Pastry slowly removing his apron, as Mrs Pastry moved forward he cleared the work bench and Mrs Pastry threw her check hat into the liquor, still wearing her rubber gloves , pounced on Mr Pastry with mash flying everywhere. Amidst the steam, Mrs Pastry hear something,"coo-ee" a voice was calling . Mrs Pastry replaced her hat with liquor dripping down her forehead and went to serve. Anything left for me asked the small woman I don't mind take away, sorry its all gone replied Mrs Pastry "never mind dear I'll come back Monday". The woman left the shop and Mr Pastry locked the door and they carried on with their duties.
dya like it lady?
On a Saturday afternoon the two little girls would go with their mum and dad to Walthamstow market. It was a long market full of colourful stalls and about half way down was Manzies pie shop they would have their lunch there and go round the rest of the market., on the way back to the car the little girls dad would sing and dance along the high road like max miller singing "I fell in love with Mary form the dairy" stopping at the bus stop to ask "d'ya like it lady" to all the old girls waiting for the bus.
In the evening after tea they would drive down to Newbury Park and go to ford social club. Their dad would give a quick flash of his cleaning ticket and the man on the door would nod for us to go in. Once inside Margo would be waiting and she would give a little royal wave to indicate where we should sit, as she smiled at passers-by who were regulars at the club. "Hello precious, hello pearl" she would greet us then her face would change to disgust an she purse her lips at the family known as "pick your nose" trying to breath in as they sat at the table behind us. The band would be playing and regular couples the ladies in their ball room dresses would take to the floor for a cha cha cha or a tango. Later in the evening when they played March of the mods it was our turn to dance and when the music finished we would have a large piggy back fight, girls against boys. Margo would forget herself and shout at martin her son across the room not to touch the "pick your noses" as he made her proud in the piggy back fight.
When we left the club it was back to Margo's for tea and sandwiches and a séance. We would all sit around the large dining table with a home-made ouigie board. The glass in the middle would be asked a question and it would move to the letters spelling out the answer, then someone would lift the table with their knees freighting the life out of us. All accusing each other of cheating one brother or sister wrote a question on a piece of paper on the other side of the room, the glass then started to move and spelt out queen mother. The question had been what is my mother's name? The answer of course was Queenie. We never played again, but we still went to the Newbury park ford social club that never changed.

living with Mack and Mable
The two little girls grew up in a household with not much television
but lots of music, not very modern music but music. Their parents were always singing, mostly from musicals, one day they would be dean martin and Ella Fitzgerald the next dean martin and jerry
Lewis. They knew all the songs from the musicals and was most likely to be answered with the words from a song when asking a simple question like what's for tea? The answer being food glorious food which that was in fact a matter of opinion a singer yes a cook no. The little girls were used to all this and having soup for breakfast was the highlight of the week. Saturday afternoons were spent dancing around the front room to singing in the rain or the Jolson story and week day teatimes were spent eating beans on toast while

Finishing up with I won't bring roses while they sat and ate green jelly for afters. A strange family you might think but the little girls knew no different and found it strange when friends dads would not take there eyes of the telly when you entered the room, as in their house there was always a song for the name of the person they brought in to play, such as oh Susannah, Beautiful Amy, Mary from the dairy and so on. Later in life when one of the girls was asked if she had heard of the film Mack and Mable she simply replied know them I live with them.

Well I bought myself a new bike! It was a reward for reaching my weight loss goal, well almost. I am at 203 now, shooting for the 200 lb barrier but figured I was close enough.
I picked it up Monday And have put 48 miles on it so far. Trek 2.1, Look Keo clip less pedals and Izumi shoes. Man does this thing fly. This is my first road bike and I am surprised how much faster I am on this bike vs. the Trek 7.2 FX I have been riding. On my daily 20 mile loop I average 13.2 mph on the FX and on my two rides so far on the 2.1 my average speed is 15.7 mph!
Any way thanks to all here who have inspired me. In March of this year I was still 226 lbs and hadn't rode a bike since my teens. I have come a long way.
By the way, I experience my first 0 mph clip less crash this afternoon. I came to a stop at my garage, forgot to un clip and over I went. Thankfully everything came out unscathed except for a little scape on left brifter.

A "Mystery Girls" super-fan, he refuses to give a statement to anyone but his two favorite "detectives," Holly Hamilton and Charlie Contour, so the cop in charge of the investigation arranges for that to happen. Enthusiastic and excitable, he persuades Holly (who's totally on board) and Charlie (who has serious doubts that he's qualified) to hire him as their assistant at the new detective agency.
Miguel is an LA newbie and living his dream in his first series regular role. A New Yorker by way of Florida, he graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts where he studied Theatre and Gender Studies. In NYC, Pinzon devoted much of his time to theater making as a member of the Theater Reconstruction Ensemble (TRE), as well as The Flea Theater's resident acting company, The Bats.
He crossed a to-do off his bucket list when he appeared opposite Aaron Sorkin and Tina Fey on "30 Rock" and has recurred on "Law & Order: SVU."
Miguel is inspired by the films of Pedro Almodovar, serendipitous moments, and Tilda Swinton.

I'm officially done with the project I started back in February so once again I find myself back on the bench. I think I've mentioned before, when you're on the bench in consulting, it basically means find more work and be billable as soon as possible. My company will continue to pay me but I need to get staffed quickly, way back in 2009 I almost got laid off after staying on the bench for months. Luckily a few days later a manager called and said I could join his project.
Friday was my last day, I leave you with some awesome views from the Wells Fargo tower in Houston where my office was located. I was way up there in the building which is currently the 14th-tallest Building in the United States, the second tallest building in Texas and Houston, after Houston's JPMorgan Chase Tower, and the tallest all glass building in the western hemisphere.

Holiday Bowl: Cal Bowl Central | Ticket Information | Holiday Bowl Website
BERKELEY - Bryan Anger was honored with the College Football Performance Awards Elite Punter Trophy during a presentation at halftime of the Cal-San Jose State men's basketball game at Haas Pavilion on Wednesday, Dec. 7. CFPA Executive Director Brad Smith presented Anger with the impressive trophy that weighs more than 50 pounds in a ceremony at half court.
Anger has had yet another banner season in 2011 for the Bears in his fourth campaign as the team's starting punter. For each of the past three seasons (2009-11), he has earned first-team all-conference honors and also captured the J. Scott Duncan Award as the team's Most Valuable special teams player. Anger is one of only four players in the history of Cal football to be named first-team all-conference for three consecutive seasons. He is averaging 44.57 yards per punt in 2011 to rank third in the Pac-12 and 12th nationally for those with the NCAA's minimum number of punts per game. His 2011 average is also fifth on Cal's all-time single-season list and has improved his career average to 43.54 yards per punt, second on Cal's all-time list. He earned an honorable mention spot on Phil Steele's 2011 midseason All-American squad.
"As my time wraps up here at Cal, it is truly an honor to be named the CFPA Elite Punter for my performance over the past two seasons," Anger said. "I look forward to finishing off the season strong in San Diego. Go Bears!"
The 2011 CFPA Elite Punter Trophy is given in recognition of the top punting performance in the nation over the past two seasons at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. Recipients of the College Football Performance Awards are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. In Berkeley on Wednesday to present Anger with the award is College Football Performance Awards Executive Director Brad Smith.
"I want to congratulate Bryan Anger, the recipient of our 2011 Elite Punter Trophy," Smith said. "He earned the honor with his on-field performance, which was significantly higher than any other punter in the nation in the last two seasons."
Cal (7-5, 4-5 Pac-12) will play Texas (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) in the Holiday Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego in a contest to be nationally televised on ESPN and ESPN3 on Wednesday, Dec. 28 (5 p.m. PST). Cal is bowl eligible for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons and will be playing in a bowl game for the eighth time in the last nine campaigns. The Bears are also assured of a winning record in 2011 for the ninth time in the last 10 campaigns. Cal finished fourth in the highly competitive North division of the Pac-12 Conference and was selected for a bowl prior to any of the teams from the conference's South division.
Cal finished its 2011 regular-season schedule by winning three of its final four games, with the only loss coming narrowly on the road at the hands of a Stanford team that finished the regular season at No. 4 in the BCS Standings, as well as the AP Top 25 and USA Today Poll.

JUNEAU, Alaska - Officials say a tsunami warning is in effect for parts of southern Alaska and coastal Canada after a strong earthquake shook the region.
The Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says the warning area includes coastal areas from about 75 miles southeast of Cordova, Alaska, to the north tip of Vancouver Island, Canada. The warning area extends for about 475 miles.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 7.6 quake struck at midnight Friday Alaska time and was centered about 60 miles west of Craig, Alaska.
The tsunami center says a tsunami with a "significant widespread inundation of land is expected." The first wave was expected around 1:15 a.m. (2:15 a./m. PST) in Craig, and 2:50 in Cordova, further to the north.
The center says widespread dangerous coastal flooding is possible.

Lady Antebellum, 'Golden'(Capitol Nashville/Universal)
No one would call Lady Antebellum's fourth studio effort stripped down, but the power trio's sound is noticeably cleaner on "Golden." The choice gives lead singers Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott some room to breathe, and the result is a noticeably fresher set of songs than 2011's collection of overproduced power ballads, "Own The Night."
The difference is immediately apparent on the single "Downtown," which reached No. 1 on the country charts last week. Perhaps tellingly, the group did not have a hand in writing the playful song that features a commanding lead vocal from Scott.
But it is on "It Ain't Pretty," which marks "Golden's" halfway point, that Scott truly impresses and the album turns the corner from a competent, somewhat boring pop exercise into something more interesting. Over a simple piano arrangement, she narrates a night of bad decisions on the heels of a hard breakup, and for once Lady Antebellum manages to make a sad song sound truly sad.

The result is striking and sets the table for the album's excellent back half, which includes the moving "Can't Stand The Rain," with a solid lead vocal from Kelley, and a catchy, almost cloying closing number in "Generation Away."

Complex Litigation is just that, complex, or difficult to understand, and made up of many different parts. Here at the nationally recognized Beasley Law Firm, where we have been awarded billions of dollars on behalf of our clients, nothing is too complex for us. We thrive and succeed when presented with difficult, complex, and challenging issues. Not only do we take on cases that other law firms do not, we win them.
We were the first and only law firm in the entire United States to win $104 million on behalf of the victims of the 9/11 attacks. When we filed the case, it was widely laughed at by other lawyers, attorneys, or law firms. No one thought that any law firm could win against the Republic of Iraq, Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. But we did.
Prior to that, we received the largest judgment ever against one person. We were awarded a $907 million verdict in a civil suit against Ira Einhorn for the murder of his girlfriend Holly Maddux. At the time, it was one of the most shocking murders in Philadelphia history and we won the case against Einhorn while he was still hiding in France. Einhorn and Maddux met here in Philadelphia while Einhorn was studying at the University of Pennsylvania. After a 5 year relationship, Maddux left Einhorn to live in New York, and started dating Saul Lapidus. When Einhorn learned of her new relationship, he asked Holly to return to his apartment to collect her personal things. She did. That was the last time anyone saw Holly. Eighteen months later, police found Holly's decomposing body in Einhorn's closet. Einhorn's response was, "you found what you found." Arlen Specter, Einhorn's attorney, had his bail reduced to $40,000 and had him released from custody in advance of his trial after paying only $4,000. Just days before Einhorn's trial was to start, he fled the country.
Experienced, Resourceful Lawyers Fighting Your Battles
It takes a very special talent, skill, and drive to win highly complex cases. Over and over again, the highly skilled and knowledgeable Philadelphia lawyers at Beasley Firm have proven that it is not that difficult or complex to win a case. From record setting medical negligence claims, to the largest civil verdict against an individual, to the first – and still the only – September 11 terrorist judgment, we use our creativity, resources, experience, knowledge, and hard work to win some of the most complicated issues. Regardless of the situation, if someone or some business needs our expertise, knowledge, and track record of success, we are here to help you. For us at the Firm, the more complex and challenging the case is the better. Your opponents will not know what hit them.

How to Enter Internet Giveaways (and Win Big)
Posted By melissa On 09/13/2012 @ 12:36 pm In Free | 5 Comments
Remember the Publisher's Clearing House commercials? A van pulls up to a modest home, people get out, ring the bell and hand the surprised home owner a huge check and shower her with balloons. It seems too good to be true, but the premise is that you, too, could enter and one day be a millionaire.
With the popularity of blogging and the Internet, there are now many giveaways and sweepstakes for any item you can imagine. The prizes might not be worth a million dollars, but they could earn you a nice amount of cash or an expensive item that you could sell.
If you are wondering if entering giveaways is worth your time, consider the story of Jon, the blogger behind Free Money Wisdom. He and his fiancée (now wife) won a 5 night, all expenses paid honeymoon to Puerta Vallarta, thanks to a sweepstakes they entered at the wedding site, The Knot. They were one of six thousand entries!
Since winning a giveaway is a matter of chance, think of entering giveaways as a hobby. If you normally sit down at night to watch 30 minutes of television to relax, maybe spend that time entering giveaways and sweepstakes instead. It is important not to get obsessed with entering giveaways, or you could burn out quickly.
There are plenty of places to enter giveaways. Many bloggers now offer giveaways to grow their readership, so there are many opportunities.
Search Online Sweepstakes. The best place to look, in my opinion, is Online Sweepstakes [3]. There you will find giveaways from bloggers and corporations. Online Sweepstakes has been around since 1997, and they offer plenty of ways for people to find giveaways. You can look by the number of entries you are allowed, the ones that are ending soonest, the type of prize, or new sweepstakes. I love Starbucks, but I hate to pay for it, so I always look for those entries. Right now, there are 9 Starbucks gift card giveaways listed on Online Sweepstakes.
Search giveaway memes. Many bloggers list their giveaways on other bloggers' sites. Find the sites that host giveaway links and enter. My favorite resource for this is SavingsLifestyle.com [4]. They have a list of 15 to 30 blogs per day that host giveaway memes. Some sites have over 300 giveaways listed! However, be forewarned that this list is not as up to date as I would like and some of the blogs listed no longer host giveaway linkies.
Search low entry giveaways. Tightwad in Utah [5] keeps a running list of low entry giveaways that are expiring soon. The idea is that because less than 200 people have entered, you have a greater chance of winning. Since July, 2010 when she began keeping the list, over 700 people have notified her that they have won the prizes listed.
Be on the look out for giveaways. As you enter more giveaways, you will find that they are advertised everywhere—on your favorite website, at the grocery store, on the blogs you read. If you find an interesting one, enter it.
Create a separate e-mail account. You could potential be bombarded with advertisements once you enter a giveaway, so create a separate e-mail just for your giveaway entries. This also helps to avoid losing a notification e-mail that lets you know you are the winner. Remember that giveaways often have a tight turnaround time; you may need to respond within 72 hours or forfeit your prize, so try to check this e-mail daily.
Keep track of what you enter. I only enter a handful of giveaways a day, so I just keep a simple list with the link to the giveaway and the day it ends. I do go back to the links because a few bloggers never e-mail the winners; they just assume you will check the giveaway announcement to see if you are the winner.
If this process sounds too time consuming, Online Sweepstakes has a simple way for you to track the giveaways you enter through the site. I have just recently started doing this, too.
Only enter those giveaways you truly want to win. If you enter for everything and anything, you won't be as excited when you win, it will be more time consuming, and you will potentially clutter your house, especially if you can't sell the items. After researching this post, I have begun entering giveaways myself, but I usually just focus on those with kids' toys and clothes as prizes or those offering Pay Pal cash or gift cards.
Have you tried entering giveaways on a regular basis? If so, what have you won?

Seven UT Health Science Center faculty members promoted; one new faculty member hired
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler recently promoted five biomedical research faculty members, two clinical faculty members, and hired one new biomedical research faculty member.
The biomedical research faculty who received promotions are Zissis Chroneos, Ph.D.; Susan Howard, Ph.D.; Anna Kurdowska, Ph.D.; Usha Pendurthi, Ph.D.; and Hua Tang, Ph.D.
The new faculty member is Andrey Komissarov, Ph.D.
In addition, Timothy Allen, MD, was promoted to professor of pathology and Chiagozie Nwasuruba, MD, was promoted to professor of medicine.
Dr. Allen, who also has a law degree, is the only pulmonary pathologist in North Texas and one of only about 100 in the world.
He is board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology as well as cytopathology, the study of cellular changes caused by disease. Dr. Allen joined UTHSCT in 2004.
Dr. Nwasuruba is certified as a specialist in clinical hypertension by the American Society of Hypertension.
He also is board certified in internal medicine. Dr. Nwasuruba joined UTHSCT in 1996.
In research, Dr. Chroneos was promoted to associate professor of biochemistry. Dr. Chroneos, who joined UTHSCT in 2000, specializes in the study of the lungs' surfactant.
This detergent-like chemical lines the air sacs in the lungs and helps reduce the force needed to inflate them.
Dr. Howard was promoted to associate professor of microbiology and Immunology.
Dr. Howard's research focuses on determining how tuberculosis bacteria regulate their responses to environmental stress. She joined UTHSCT in 2001.
Dr. Kurdowska was promoted to professor of biochemistry. Dr. Kurdowska, who joined UTHSCT in 1991, studies the function of specialized receptors on the cell surface that are essential components of the cell's response to pathogens.
Understanding the regulatory roles the receptors play in lung inflammation or injury, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and other diseases will aid development of novel therapeutic agents to treat these diseases.
Dr. Pendurthi was promoted to professor of molecular biology. She studies blood coagulation, how to prevent blood clotting, and how the clotting process affects the health of blood vessels and the progression of cancer. Dr. Pendurthi joined UTHSCT in 1993.
Dr. Tang was promoted to associate professor of biochemistry. Dr. Tang, who joined UTHSCT in 2001, investigates how a specific group of enzymes regulates inflammation in blood vessels.
New faculty member Dr. Komissarov comes to UTHSCT from Portland State University in Portland, Ore., where he was a research assistant professor.
He has a Ph.D. in the chemistry of natural compounds from Moscow State University in Russia.
Dr. Komissarov's area of research is the role of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a chemical involved in lung injury and lung malignancies.
PAI-1 hinders the process that breaks up blood clots and promotes blood clotting and the deposition of fibrin, an insoluble protein, when the lungs or pleural space around the lungs are injured.
Dr. Komissarov's research could lead to new therapies to treat lung diseases, as well as injuries to the lungs.

Decentralized approaches spanning multiple administrative domains (MAD) are an increasingly effective way to deploy services. Popular examples include peer-to-peer (p2p) applications, content distribution networks, and mesh routing protocols. Cooperation lies at the heart of these services. Yet, when working together is crucial, a natural question is: "What if users stop cooperating?" After all, users in a MAD system are vulnerable not only to the failure of some of the equipment in the system, or to the possibility that some users may behave maliciously, but also to the possibility that users may selfishly refrain from sharing their resources as the protocol would require.
In this setting, it is hard to put a bound on the number of components in the systems that deviate from their correct specification. is it still possible under such circumstances to build systems that not only provide provable guarantees in terms of their safety and liveness properties but also yield practical performance?
In this tutorial, we will review recent results in the theory and practice of building robust MAD systems. In particular we will focus on the BAR (Byzantine, Altruistic, Rational) model, a new failure model that attempts to captures the complexity of MAD systems. We will consider the different approaches that have been proposed to provide a theoretical foundation to BAR fault tolerance, and discuss the design tradeoffs and performance characteristics of BAR fault-tolerant systems.
