Fraud charges reinstated after judge vacates ruling
Luzerne County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. on Monday reversed one of his own rulings from last week that dismissed fraud charges against a Plymouth man.
Last Monday, Sklarosky dismissed the case against Joseph P. Butler, 49, after he called the case to trial and the prosecutor failed to show.
Prosecutors argued that they were ready to go to trial last Monday morning, but Sklarosky continued the case for a week and never put prosecutors on "standby." After another trial abruptly fell through, Sklarosky scheduled the trial for later that day and the assistant district attorney wasn't available, prosecutors said. The judge then dismissed the case.
Sklarosky on Monday vacated his past ruling and scheduled Butler's trial for the week of Sept. 16.
Butler is charged with forgery and access device fraud on accusations he scammed the owner of Classic Pizza in Larksville into cashing a stolen check.

Hi zimbra-forum,
we use zimbra to sync between iphone / android / mac. When i try to add profile-pictures to adressbook accounts in zimbra-desktop or with the online zimbra interface, all added pictures will be deleted within some minutes after servers have refreshed all clients.
But when i add pictures to contacts with my android mobile they will never more be removed and stay fixed in all client adressbooks, even after synchronisation.
So does anyone know, why i can add pictures to contacts by mobile, but not with zimbra desktop or even not with the synchronised mac-adressbook?
Thanxs for your help, hirschferkel

Okay, so ten years ago today, Mike Tyson did the unthinkable....
We love anniversaries and great stories. Our boxing guy, Norm Frauenheim, takes us back to one of the most memorable moments - and greatest stories - in boxing history: One ear in 10 years has never made so much noise. Mike Tyson bit it. Evander Holyfield lost it. Boxing, embarrassed all over again, is still talking about it.
The infamous Bite Fight happened 10 years ago today at Las Vegas' MGM Grand. It's not exactly an anniversary, at least not one anybody celebrates. Ear-shaped cakes and bloodied incisors aren't party favors.
Still, it's one of those scarred moments people always recall.
When Tyson ripped off the top of Holyfield's ear like a shell from a boiled shrimp during the third round, Vegas cabbies and casino customers can tell you what they were doing and where they were.
For one night, the city that never sleeps or stops came to a halt. And only one thing stayed in Vegas: Holyfield's ear.
It's gone, apparently lost somewhere in a cab ride from the MGM Grand to a nearby emergency room where Holyfield was waiting to have it stitched back into place.
Ringside reporters stood around a member of the MGM staff. He found the shredded ear on the mat. He placed it on a cocktail napkin and held it up for inspection as though it were a rare species.
Reporters busily filled up notebooks before one looked up and said: "Can you believe we're doing this?"
All around, there was chaos. For the first time anybody could remember, a Vegas casino was shut down. Police tape surrounded the scene, keeping people away from a floor covered with scattered chips from overturned gaming tables.
Not long after, Tyson moved to the Valley. He turns 41 on Saturday and is scheduled for an Aug. 20 trial on drug possession charges.
Holyfield still is fighting. His ear? Has anybody looked on eBay lately? [SOURCE]
Dang, can't believe it's been ten years! Mike hasn't been the same since.

BET AWARDS: Maybe Next Year Will Be The Year
Last night's BET Awards were just.. Um, how can I say this -- Predictable! For starters, was it really, I mean, REALLY necessary for Mo'Nique to parody "B" again? Yea, stomping with the big girls was cute last time, but I mean, WHY?! BET spent all this time hyping the show, only to present the same 'ole entertainers, STILL performing with a half-ass sound system?!?! Sweet cheeks. I should not have to keep plucking with the volume on my TV in order to hear folks! Man, every thing was just annoying to me. Oh wait, well, except for three moments - the tribute for Gerald Levert, Diana Ross, and James Brown. Now those were some soul-stirring performances, but you know, that's about it. :Sigh: One day, BET will get their acts together. One day, I will be able to watch their award show without seeing repetitive performances, fighting sleep, or my personal pet peeve, being totally bombarded by their sponsors on the red carpet, on nearby buildings, over the stage, at the after-party, etc, etc, etc. Too bad, this show wasn't the one to do that for me.

Happy Friday, ya'll!!! So it's apparent that foolishness travels in packs, because I have another batch of crazy photos to share. I'll call this the "O HELL NAW" edition and be forewarned - there's nudity below...
I don't know if you guys remember these chicks, but it looks the Skittles head above is giving them a run for their money. All new meaning to the term "candy lady".
Looks like someone's a tad early with the Halloween costume...
Okay, somewhere a pimp is missing his hoes...

Welcome To Prom Night 2007
I swear, just when I think I have seen it all. Just when I think it's safe to assume that teens these days know what they are supposed to look like when they step out the house. Unfortunately, that assumption can't be made because it quite evident from the photos below that Hood Couture has seriously taken over a prom in Newark, NJ. SMH. I'm still rubbing my eyes in disbelief and naturally, all faces have been smudged to protect the innocent.

Paris Hilton Heads Back to Jail
MUCH credit should be given to Tom Ferris over at Security-Protocols for this HUH-larious photo creation. I just couldn't stop laughing at the thought of Nelson from The Simpsons laughing at Paris. MAN! But what really had me going were the comments that Paris made after the judge ruled that she had to go back to jail...
"It's not right," yelled Hilton, rising from her seat at the defendant's table.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!" she cried out to her mother, Kathy, who collapsed in tears in the front row of the courtroom.
What the hell? Why is she calling for her mom like she is two years old? See this is why this girl is out of control. WHY would any parent deem it necessary to allow your child to avoid punishment? Didn't the judge order her behind to serve time IN JAIL with NO HOUSE ARREST? Shoot, what exactly did her (or her parents) think was going to happen once the judge found out? "Sure, Heiress, you can just stay at your million dollar home for the rest of your time...." NOT! Tsk. Tsk. Damn dummies. Sadly, all this media attention seems to promptly bring out the foolishness in others, as evidenced by the following photos and video...
Arlene Hampton, left, and Gloria Johnson show their support for Paris Hilton as they join the media waiting for Hilton to arrive at a Los Angeles municipal courthouse Friday, June 8, 2007. Hilton eluded view as she arrived.
Vance Elkins of Torrance, Calif.,a critic of Paris Hilton, joins the media during the wait for Hilton to arrive at a Los Angeles municipal courthouse Friday, June 8, 2007.
Tommy Chong giving his opinion on the Paris Hilton media blitz.
My final thought: Stop whining Paris and just serve out your fricking time. Geez.
Update Sunday, June 10, 2007: Looks as though Paris has finally
Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.
This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.
As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.
I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world.

Getting Back In The Groove
Hmm, so how does one ease back into the groove of blogging? It almost feels like I wanna go back and read back over everything I've written just to make sure I don't sound like a broken record. See, I have this issue with being redundant, but then again, I do the same shit all the time. I get stuck in clichés and familiar phases because it's.. it's, hell, it's just what I do. LOL! Well, today was a good day. Got my tickets for the Beyonce concert. She's coming to the Verizon Center on the 9th of August and I'm not sure WHY she would choose to have a concert on a frickin' Thursday, but whatever. I'm looking forward to reviewing that one. I learned from last week's Oprah episode that my second main man (MAXWELL is first!!), Robin Thicke, is gonna be Beyonce's opening act, so THAT is definitely worth seeing. I just can't seem to get enough of that man!!!! Shoot, I'm going to write a blog post on Remembering R&B for him, right NOW!! :)

Gurl, Where You Been?
OMG, has it really been that long since I last wrote something in my blog? Word, ya'll, life has been working on me hard and for real, I'm loving the growth! Since my last post, I've taken a new position at my day job and let me tell you, this job is something else. I've learned so much more about legal issues and contracts regarding a media company than all the years I've been working. Now with the night job, Soulful Synergy, I've been working on more shirts for the store and I've even branched out to work with other websites and small business owners to collaborate on new marketing ventures. Point blank, I've been working my behind off. As a matter of fact, I'm actually gonna have to bail out on doing Script Frenzy, considering my own life is already a frenzy. LOL! It's all good though. In no way, am I complaining. I like it, I just have to keep it all in perspective. Which leads me to my other venture - I've actually started seeing a therapist regarding unresolved family issues. I've come to (another) point that I'm just tired of carrying the dead weight from the past. I'm ready to take the next step. Shoot, I can't be bothered anymore. Especially considering these issues are blocking my own ability to really write and express myself the way I want to...... Soooo I'm making it my mission from here on out to NOT miss no more than two days of blogging.
Consider this a warning that future posts might be rambles, links, thoughts, ideas, etc., but hey, my soul is full and I need to let it out... LOL! :-)

My Marvelous Minnesota
M is for Minnesota
by Dori Hillestad Butler,
illustrated by Janice Lee Porter
Published by University of Minnesota Press, l998
Five years ago in a seventeen-foot U-Haul--in the rain--my husband and I crossed the big blue bridge on I-94 West into Minnesota. We high-fived. We decided to move from Chicago to the marvelous Land of Lakes based on a good vibe and one vacation at a resort outside of Brainerd. The blue bridge is now family lore. We tell the story to our three-year-old with the pride of pioneers. We love our state. We love books like M is for Minnesota--a close, adoring look at our adopted home.
M is for Minnesota, the debut children's book from the University of Minnesota Press, will hit Minnesota bookshelves next month. Author Dori Hillestad Butler and illustrator Janice Lee Porter blend twenty-six thoroughly fact-packed points of pride with warm, jewel-toned paintings of carefully selected Minnesota scenes. Some favorites:
"K is for Kensington Runestone." In five swift sentences, Butler cuts a cross-section of Minnesota history all the way from a 1362 Viking exploration to an 1898 discovery by immigrant Olaf Ohman to the 1998 Runestone Museum in Alexandria. The illustration is eerie, tombstone-like, a refreshing symbol for Minnesotans weary of the loon-and-ladyslipper routine.
"L is for Loon." Well-worn icons that they are, loons get lauded here by Butler and Porter. Mama and bright-eyed babies glide over a deep green lake while daddy cries out something fierce in the background. Any dignity lost in Lottery advertisements is regained here: Butler tells of ancient, instinctual birds with "wild, mournful cries that can be heard across quiet Minnesota lakes most often at dusk or when a storm is approaching."
"O is for Open-Heart Surgery." The illustration is a show-stopper: a birds-eye view of eight green-masked physicians and attendants huddled around a prone patient with angry red-purple-black spots and dashes where a heart is either coming out or going in. It's an impressionist, G-rated portrait of "the first successful open-heart surgery [which] was performed at the University of Minnesota hospitals on September 2, 1952. It saved the life of a five-year-old girl and paved the way for future lifesaving heart surgeries."
"T is for Timber Wolf." Soft brown strokes give life to Butler's basic statistics on poundage, prey, and population. The facts that Minnesota has "more timber wolves than any other state except Alaska, boasts the International Wolf Center in Ely," and has succeeded in removing timber wolves from the endangered species, speak to proud stewardship of natural resources.
Part of the fun of reading M is for Minnesota is guessing if your own personal picks are included in Butler's and Porter's top twenty-six. The Twin Cities miss the cut, save "F is for Fort Snelling" and three full pages devoted to the University of Minnesota: "G is for Gopher State" (with a charming brown-toned illustration of 1880s Gopher football); the tribute to open-heart surgery; and "U is for University of Minnesota," featuring a spectacular rendering of the full moon outside the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum.
The book is definitely heavy on the U of M and it tends toward the rural and the northern. It also waxes didactic at times--most notably in the very beginning, "A is for Agriculture," a lackluster opening ("Agriculture is the backbone of Minnesota's economy") fortunately saved by vibrant cows, pumpkins, a tractor, and autumn leaves.
Ah, but love letters are subjective. This affectionate ode to Minnesota is choosy, but its passion and depth make up for omissions. My blue bridge didn't make it in, but between the deep indigo-purple of "M is for Mississippi River" and the dim gray sky of "D is for Duluth," and I know Butler, Porter, and I are on the same page. M is for My Minnesota. M is for Marvelous!
Ann Rosenquist Fee will be Minnesota Parent's regular reviewer of children's book (starting with this review), and we're pleased. Oh yeah . . . she wrote this month's cover story, too.
In conjunction with national Children's Book Week, November 16-22, 1998, Governor Arne Carlson has officially proclaimed November 19, 1998 as "Read M is for Minnesota Day."
The University of Minnesota Press suggests some ways kids can celebrate:
* Create your own Minnesota alphabet
* Pick your favorite letter and list as many Minnesota-related words you can think of that begin with that letter
* Point to the area on a map where the things in M is for Minnesota are located
For a complete activity guide, contact the University of Minnesota Press at (612) 627-1937. Call your local library or bookstore for more information on "Read M is for Minnesota Day" events.
M is for Minnesota is available statewide at independent and chain booksellers including B. Dalton, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Hungry Mind in St. Paul, Northern Lights in Duluth, and selected Minnesota Historical Society sites.

10 Questions, 1 Minute with Aaron Hartzler
Praise for Rapture Practice:A 2014 Rainbow List SelectionA Lambda Awards FinalistNamed one of Amazon's Best Books of 2013A Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of 2013"...Effervescent and moving, evocative and tender..." (New York Times Book Review).
(Kirkus Reviews (starred review)).* His story emphasizes discovery more than rebellion, and the narrative is carefully constructed to show and not judge the beliefs of his family and their community... Hartzler's laugh-out-loud stylings range from the subtle to the ridiculous...A hilarious first-of-its-kind story that will surely inspire more."
"Aaron Hartzler's memoir will captivate teens looking for a solid coming-of-age story grounded in strange truths about growing up in a religious family...Hartzler's ear for teenage dialogue is spot-on..."(Shelf Awareness).
"[Aaron Hatzler's] memoir is appealing because of his honesty, and forthrightness... clear and lively."(School Library Journal).
"What rings very true... is the author's thoughtful search for answers to his heart's biggest questions, and his pragmatism and sense of humor on the journey." (Publishers Weekly).
"Hartzler writes with a keen eye for detail... he is equally sure-footed describing his inner turmoil... One of the best things, however, is how lovingly Hartzler portrays his parents, even as they anger him... Readers will hope for a sequel." (Booklist).
"Humorous and entertaining..." (VOYA).
"This heartfelt memoir [and] compelling story...will speak volumes to adolescents." (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books).
"Rapture Practice opened my eyes--and my mind--to a segment of society I've never quite understood. Wherever you weigh in on the religion scale, this book will speak to you."().Ellen Hopkins, New York Times bestselling author of Crank and Tilt
"Rapture Practice is breathtaking. Aaron Hartzler has the lightest touch when it comes to telling his story. His writing is heartfelt and earnest, while at the same time funny and courageous. I'm in love with this book."(Holly Goldberg Sloan, author of I'll Be There).
"Aaron's Hartzler's Rapture Practice is a sad, wise, funny and life-affirming story of coming of age and finding the courage to be who you are while still remaining true to your family. I was incredibly moved to tears and laughter by this memoir and urge all teenagers to read it, especially those struggling with faith and identity themselves."(Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of the Blue Bloods series).
"This book is a miracle...Aaron Harztler sees that asking others to love you for what you are means loving them for what they are and that, furthermore, they may be as powerless as you are to change...An achingly innocent and sweetly funny book about guilt, rebellion, love, and acceptance."(Laura McNeal, National Book Honor author of Dark Water).
"I think the best stories are the ones about the absurdity and beauty of growing up--and Aaron Hartzler's Rapture Practice is one whose humor, honesty, and heart make universal even the most unique situations. This is a story about faith that gives you just that--faith in humanity, in family, and in yourself." (John Corey Whaley, author of the Michael L. Printz Winner for Where Things Come Back).
"With a sure hand and fearless gaze, Aaron Hartzler takes aim at life's biggies--God, sex, family, and rock 'n' roll. Whether you're laughing, gasping, or crying (and at times I was doing all three), you'll always be in awe of Hartzler's openhearted and clearheaded treatment of his extraordinary life. Rapture Practice is a triumph."(Maria Semple, author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette).
"Rapture Practice is inspiring, hilarious, frustrating, and beautiful. Thank you, Aaron Hartzler, for enriching my life by allowing me to experience important moments in yours."(Jay Asher, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Thirteen Reasons Why).

Now There Are Pappy Van Winkle Conspiracy Theorists
The greatest trick Old Pappy ever played was convincing the world that someone stole 65 cases, or something.
"Who has profited the most from this? It wasn't somebody stealing 65 cases or two hundred bottles of Pappy Van Winkle. I think the world wide attention that Pappy Van Winkle has gotten has certainly been wonderful to their advertising and marketing departments." — Doug Hubbard, the self-described "old country" lawyer representing a now-cleared school principal who'd been named a person of interest in the bourbon heist, suggests we've all been duped by a heinous publicity stunt.

The mountain lion (Puma concolor) is sometimes called cougar, puma, catamount and panther. Mountain lions once lived in much of the eastern United States. They were extirpated from Indiana by the late 1800s.
Indiana has no breeding population of mountain lions. Data collected by the Cougar Network and other states over the past decade suggest mountain lions are appearing outside their traditional Western range. This may be the result of an increase in mountain lion numbers in Western states. Animals found outside of their Western range are usually young, transient males. This reduces the possibility a viable population developing in Indiana.
The DNR ensures mountain lion information is accurately maintained using a system to receive, record and review mountain lion reports. In 2010, the DNR confirmed a mountain lion in rural Greene County, northeast of Bloomfield. The DNR receives many mountain lion reports. Most prove to be a species other than a mountain lion, are inconclusive, or are part of an Internet hoax.
The mountain lion is a large, slender cat, with a long rope-like tail. Adults are a uniform tan or tawny in color, with a white or cream-colored chin, undersides, and inner legs.
Bobcats, feral cats and domestic dogs may be misidentified as mountain lion. Below is a list of physical characteristics that distinguish mountain lions from more common species.
Call the DNR Customer Service Center or contact a district wildlife biologist or report online. Only reports including a clear, verifiable picture of a mountain lion in a verifiable location; a picture or plaster cast of mountain lion tracks; or other evidence of specific mountain lion behavior will be field investigated.

The prospect of mountain lions alarms many citizens; however, the likelihood of encountering a mountain lion in Indiana is remote. The same is true even in Western states with breeding populations because these are reclusive animals. There is little likelihood for this animal to be seen in large cities, neighborhoods and other areas where there are humans.
If an encounter does happen, follow this advice from authorities in Western states:
The mountain lion in Indiana is protected as an exotic mammal. State law allows a resident landowner or tenant to kill a mountain lion while it is causing damage to property owned or leased by the landowner or tenant. If the landowner/tenant wishes to have someone else kill the mountain lion, that person must get a permit from the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. Any mountain lion killed should be immediately reported to the DNR using the contact information listed previously.
Cougarnet.org provides an identification guide describing how to tell mountain lions from other animals.

Case Study
Accessing a specific ISO standard
How can I access the following standard? ISO/TS 24155:2007 Hydrometry - Hydrometric data transmission systems - Specification of system requirement
Note This is not a Joint ISO/Australian Standard, so the Library cannot provide access to it via SAI Global Online Public Library.
There are three options for access:
If you can visit the Library in person, we suggest that you submit an online request to view a printed copy of the standard. Please note that the Library's collection of International Standards is imperfect, so we may not have the standard you need. Use the Catalogue record for International standards to make your request (see above).

The match went a full 110 minutes with both teams scoring in regulation, as Thiago Ferreira scored in the 15th minute for Missouri Valley and Andy Griffin scored his team leading seventh goal in the 74th minute to tie things up.
Senior Ethan Bauer placed a perfect corner kick into the box for the assist and Griffin headed it home.
Then in penalty kicks, senior Nick Aguilar came up first for Baker and nailed his PK, then Nicholas Alexander sent a powerful kick past keeper Brendan Allen to tie it up, 1-1.
Next up for Baker was Donny George, the big defender nailed his PK past Josh Wells and Baker went up 2-1. Right after that Ferreira nailed his PK and we were knotted at 2-2.
Ethan Bauer then came up for Baker and had his shot miss, Raul Beneit then came up and put MVC up, 3-2 with a made PK.
Griffin then blasted his past Wells to tie it at 3-3. Carlos Berastain made things interesting by missing his PK and Nate Byarlay came through for Baker to give them the lead back at 4-3.
But that proved to be the final PK make for Baker, as Alberto Linan Gomez made his PK, Josh Rydberg missed his and keeper Wells missed his.
With the score tied at 4-4, Ben Coyle sailed his PK high and Mark Taylor nailed his to put the Mo Valley bench in a frenzy and Mo Valley advanced on a 5-4 PK win and will now travel to No. 1 Benedictine College this Saturday, Nov. 10 to take on the Ravens in the HAAC Championship in Atchison, Kan.
Baker ends the season with an overall record of 8-5-5.
STATS: Baker 1 – MVC 1 (MVC wins 5-4 PK'S)

Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia has termed even the revised GDP growth target of 8% for 12th plan as ambitious and said it would test the Centre's ability to restore the economy on a high growth path amid an uncertain global environment.
"I would say that even 8% average (growth), if you work it out based on 5.8% for current year and 7% in the next year (2013-14), will mean more than 9% growth for the last three years of the Plan. That's quite an ambitious target," Ahluwalia said, ahead of Thursday's National Development Council meeting.
The Planning Commission had earlier decided to adopt 8.2% growth target for the current plan but decided to revise in the wake of fresh estimates coming from the RBI that put growth at about 5.8% for current fiscal and the finance ministry's estimate of 5.7%- 5.9%, which would be the lowest in the decade.
Without making any changes in data on resource mobilisation, the commission presented three scenarios of growth for 12th Plan.
The first and most optimistic scenario talks about a growth rate of 8% when all the prescriptions given in the Plan document is adopted. In the second scenario, the growth is pegged at 6-6.5% and in the worst-case scenario of a complete policy logjam, the figure is put further down between 5-5.5%.
This is the second time the commission has scaled down growth projection for the 12th Plan (2012-17). After initially estimating the growth rate at 9% in the Approach Paper, it lowered the target to 8.2%t in September 2012. The issue will be taken up on Thursday by the country's highest policy making body NDC , which is headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and comprises cabinet ministers and chief ministers of all states. The NDC meeting has been convened to approve the 12th Plan.
Ahluwalia said he would push for lowering of the growth rate as the situation has turned negative over the last few months with global growth rate also pegged downward by 0.5% .
The NDC meeting would also be used by the commission to bring states on board over its plan to restructure centrally-sponsored schemes (CSS).
The Centre is planning to restructure CSS next fiscal, reducing their number to a mere 49 from 147 this financial year based on the recommendations of a committee headed by Planning Commission member energy B

PORTSMOUTH, Va.--Departing senior guard Carlon Brown participated in the 60th annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament from April 11-14, competing against some of the best players in college basketball as he helped lead his team to the tournament's championship.
Playing for Roger Brown's (a team sponsored by a local restaurant), Brown averaged 10.0 points per three games on 40.6 percent shooting from the field (13-of-32) and 40.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc (2-of-5). He also averaged 3.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. His team was led in scoring by Wichita State center Garrett Stutz (14.7 points per game).
"I thought our team played well together and we were all very unselfish, which I believe led to us winning the whole thing," Brown said. "As far as my play is concerned, I wish I would have made more shots and had fewer turnovers. But overall, I thought it was a good experience for me."
Roger Brown's went 3-0 over the four-day tournament, defeating Portsmouth Sports Club 92-87 in the title game. Held every year in Portsmouth since 1953, the P.I.T. invites 64 of the best college basketball seniors from across the country to form eight teams and compete in a 12-game tournament in front of representatives from every NBA team. Notable alumni include NBA legends Rick Barry, Earl Monroe, Dave Cowens, John Stockton, and Scottie Pippen.
One professional scout in attendance this year at Portsmouth provided the following evaluation of Brown: "He has a very good feel for the game of basketball. Much like he did at Colorado this season, he showed that he is athletic and he has the ability to make plays for both himself and his teammates."
"And most importantly, he once again proved that he is a winner. His stats may not have been as gaudy as some of the other players in this year's P.I.T., but he played within the team format the entire week and was a major part of his squad winning the championship. I think Carlon definitely helped himself from an NBA standpoint this past weekend."
Brown led CU by averaging 12.6 points per game this past season and was named Pac-12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player after helping the Buffs to their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2003 by winning the Pac-12's automatic bid. Brown then scored 12 points, including a late dunk that helped seal the victory and was featured in "One Shining Moment," as CU beat UNLV 68-64 for the Buffs' first tourney win since 1997.
Prior to Brown, the most recent Buff to compete in the P.I.T. was Marcus Hall in 2008.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Tulane University Athletics Department launched a new website to promote Green Wave national football award candidate Matt Forté - www.MattForte25.com - on Thursday.
The site can be accessed by typing the address into the web browser. In addition, a button on the main page of the official website of Tulane Athletics - www.TulaneGreenWave.com - directs fans and media to the site as well.
The website features video highlights as well as updated statistics, notes, news clips and quotes on what coaches and writers around the country are saying about Forté. The site also includes Forté's game-by-game statistics as well as where he currently ranks in Green Wave single-game, single-season and career history.
Already an All-America candidate and a member of the Doak Walker Award Watchlist, which is awarded to the nation's top running back every year, Forté was recently added to the Maxwell Award Watchlist for the College Player of the Year Award and was ranked sixth in a CSTV.com Heisman Trophy poll.
Forté enters this weekend's Homecoming contest vs. Memphis leading all NCAA Division I-Bowl Subdivision student-athletes in rushing yards (1,261) and rushing yards per game (180.1). On his current pace, Forté would finish the 2007 season with 2,161 yards, which would rank fourth-highest in NCAA single-season history behind Iowa State's Troy Davis (2,185), USC's Marcus Allen (2,342) and Oklahoma State's Barry Sanders (2,628).
He also ranks second in the NCAA in all-purpose yards per game (207.71) and sixth in the nation in points per game (11.14). Forté's 13 touchdowns on the year are tied for the third most in the country, and his school-record five touchdowns against Southeastern Louisiana on Sept. 22, is tied for the highest scoring output nationally in 2007.
MattForte25.com will be updated daily with quotes and news releases, and Forté's statistics and video highlights will be updated following each of the Green Wave's remaining five regular-season games.

The Johnson Creek Bridge,
located off KY 1029 in Robertson County near Blue Licks Battlefield State
Resort, is a beautiful historic covered bridge.
Probably the most recognized, the Goddard
White Covered Bridge, off KY 32 southeast of Flemingsburg, is the only
surviving example of Ithiel Town Lattice design in Kentucky, with timbers
joined by wooden pegs. Actual date of construction and the original builder are
unknown, but the bridge can be traced back to the 1820's. A favorite spot for photographers, the
Goddard Bridge frames the Goddard United Methodist Church in the background.
This bridge is still open to traffic and is home to The Covered Bridge Festival
held on the 4th Saturday in August.
The Grange City Covered Bridge,
off KY 111, is an 86 foot span over Fox Creek. Replaced by a concrete bridge in 1969, efforts are underway to
preserve the bridge damaged by four floods. Although no longer open to traffic,
the bridge stands majestically amid the surrounding rolling hills.
The Ringo's Mill Covered Bridge,
off KY 158, was erected around 1867-1869 over Fox Creek on highway 158. The bridge and surrounding community
developed because of a grist mill operating on Fox Creek in the mid-1880's. The
bridge is not open to automobile traffic but proudly welcomes visitors now as
it did over one hundred years ago.
Exploring the old covered bridges in
the scenic countryside is a popular tourist activity, and a guide to all of the
bridges is available at the Chamber of Commerce. Covered bridges were first
built in the 1790's, but were not popular until 1814. At one time there were
more than 400 covered bridges in Kentucky. Only 13 remain, with Fleming County
having three. These weathered and scenic "timbered tunnels" are tangible
connections to days gone by. They are worth a trip any time of year, providing
the visitor a "bridge to the past and future." Each have their own story to
Cabin Creek
Covered Bridge, 606-796-2732, built in 1867, is 114 feet long with a burr truss design. You
will find it located east of Maysville, near the small town of Tollesboro in
Lewis County.
between Augusta and Maysville, is about 200 yards south of KY 8 on Lee Creek Road. Dover Bridge is
one of the older remaining bridges, and it's 63-foot span is still open to
traffic. Tiny Valley Pike Covered Bridge is located on private property off KY
10 between Maysville and Germantown.

Make the Most of Your Holiday Shopping
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 11/29/2012 @ 12:13 pm In Shopping | 5 Comments
You know you're going to spend money this holiday season. For most of us, it's one of life's inevitabilities. Just because you know you are going to spend, though, doesn't mean that you can't make the most of the holiday shopping season.
If you are smart about your shopping, and if you are careful about what you buy — and how you go about buying it — you can actually reap some benefits from holiday spending:
My very favorite thing to do when planned spending is involved is to make a list. Planning is a huge deal. If you want to avoid impulse spending, a list is vital. Plus, you can make sure that you don't forget anything important as you complete your shopping.
Create a list of what you need to buy this holiday season [3]. List out those you are buying gifts for, as well as what you plan to purchase for them. Also, include a list of food you want to buy, decorations you will get, and other planned purchases.
Your list will help guide you through the holiday shopping season, ensuring that you only get what you need, and that you don't neglect something.
Next, pull out your best rewards credit card. Figure out which is the best credit card [4] for you this holiday season. Think about which card offers the best cash back bonus. Also, look at rotating categories, and holiday bonus rewards. In some cases, it can make sense to use two or three different cards, depending on what you're buying, and which offers the best reward for that particular spending category.
In other cases, especially if you don't want the hassle of deciding which credit card to use, it makes sense to just pick one card. In any cases, carefully consider your options. Pull out the most generous rewards card and then putting all of your spending on that card. Pay for all of your holiday purchases using your rewards card, and watch your rewards pile up quickly.
Of course, racking up the rewards points does very little good if their value is offset by interest. Make sure that you pay off your credit card balance before the interest kicks in. This can be done if you have left your money sitting in your bank account the entire holiday season. You haven't used that money, so it is available to pay off your credit card before you have to pay interest.
You can even improve the situation a little bit by keeping your cash in an interest bearing account. It sits there, earning money on your behalf, until it is needed to pay off your credit card balance. You earn a little extra, and you have piled up the rewards, either giving you cash back, or additional points that can be redeemed for travel or merchandise.
While the value of your rewards probably won't result in completely offsetting your holiday spending, you can reduce the net effects. At the very least, you can get some of what you spent back. Combine your credit card shopping with a rebate program like Ebates [5], and you can do even better.

Withdrawal/Repayment Policy
Financial Aid recipients are strongly encouraged to read and understand the withdrawal policy. It is important that you are aware of your financial responsibility, if your enrollment status changes. Students planning to withdraw from all classes must contact the Financial Aid Office to see how the withdrawal will affect their financial aid status, and whether repayment is due. Financial aid is paid to students based upon their attendance. However, there are occasions when unforeseen events occur in a student's life that can result in withdrawal from college. If this occurs, it is essential that you know the policy and follow the proper steps for withdrawal.
Federal Regulations for Withdrawing
- Students that receive Federal Title IV Financial Aid and withdraw from school during the period of enrollment in which they began attendance must return the percentage of unearned funds to the Financial Aid Program.
- The Financial Aid Office recalculates the amount of Financial Aid a student is authorized when a student officially withdraws from the college or stops attending classes prior to completing more than 60% of a term.
- A student who changes their enrollment status within the first 14 days of classes will have their financial aid adjusted accordingly and will be responsible for any balance on the student's account created by the enrollment status change.
- A student who completes more than 60% of the period of enrollment has earned all of their Financial Aid assistance.
- When a student officially withdraws from the school, the percentage or portion of the student's financial aid received but not "earned" must be repaid.
- The Financial Aid Office will review official records at the end of each semester. If a student has stopped attending all classes, even if they have not officially withdrawn will have their aid reduced if they did not complete at least 60% of the semester.
- EXAMPLE: A student who withdraws completing 30% of the term will have "earned" only 30% of Title IV Financial Aid, the remaining 70% must be returned.
What Qualifies as a Federal Title IV Fund?
- Federal Direct Loans - Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, PLUS-Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
Repayment Policy
- The Financial Aid Office will notify the student of the amount of repayment due within 30 days of determining the student's withdraw.
- The student has 45 calendar days after notification to make a repayment in full or make satisfactory repayment arrangements with Chattanooga State Bursar's Office.
- Students owing repayments will be INELIGIBLE to receive any Title IV aid. The balance must be paid in FULL before a student can receive more aid.
- The student returns loan amounts to the lender according to the terms of the promissory note.
