Pac-Man The Movie: Pac-Man In Real Life
This is a short film called Pac-Man: The Movie. It's told from the ghosts perspective, by four people running around in colored trash bags. I thought it was pretty cute. Not baby bunny cute, mind you, but definitely cuter than unidentifiable roadkill.
Thanks to Nicole, who once punched a ghost so hard it came back to life. But then she killed it again with her superpower -- sexiness. True story.

The Ohio State Board of Trustees unanimously voted today to lease the school's parking system out for the next 50 years.
It's all part of the university's grand scheme, the "long term strategic plan," which lays out the next decade for OSU, says Vice President Joseph Alutto.
That goal is to make OSU "the world's preeminent public comprehensive university, solving problems of world-wide significance."
So, basically, cure cancer, eradicate terrorism, and save the world from impending doom. Or, at the very least, strengthen faculty, improve the quality of education, establish more partnerships in the community, give out more scholarships and become "the model for an affordable public university recognized for financial stability."
But solving the world's problems comes with a hefty price tag, $2.1 billion to be exact. Alutto says he's not holding his breath for increases in state and federal funding, but outsourcing the universities non-core assets is one way to pay for the plan.
The final deal is this: for the next 50 years, OSU will lease out its $28 million-a-year parking operation to an Australian company called QIC Global Infrastructure and its partner company LAZ Parking. In exchange, OSU gets $483 million in investments.
As OSU's Chief Financial Officer Geoff Chatas told the Columbus Dispatch, "over 50 years, a $483 million bid would prove $3.1 billion in investment earnings." That's money the university can use to hire more professors, give out more in scholarships, and invest in the arts and humanities.
OSU may be blazing a trail among universities in leasing out its parking structures, but several cities have already done this, with mixed results.
Chicago struck a deal with a private operator to take over the city's parking meters back in 2008, and leased out its parking garages two years before that. Critics have complained of pricey tickets and questioned whether the city got the best deal it could have. Los Angeles attempted a similar plan last year. And this Spring, Sacramento decided to lease its system for up to 50 years to raise money for the Sacramento Kings' new basketball arena.
Not all Ohio State students and faculty are buying the argument that this is all for the good of the university. Some worry about getting hounded about costly parking tickets; others say a public land-grant university shouldn't depend so much on privatization.
Alutto says anyone concerned should consider the move not in isolation, where he concedes it could look like a money grab, but rather in the big picture of that strategic plan and its cost.
"It's not a matter of privatizing; it's a matter of how do we achieve that long-term goal," says Alutto. Outsourcing nonessential assets like parking allows the university to focus on what it's supposed to: academics.
As for the day-to-day workings of parking on the Ohio State campus, Alutto says, "Well, actually, they won't change at all. The services being provided are the same; we still own the facility. This is just an operating lease, and there may in fact be some enhancements in terms of responsiveness and so forth."
Plus, he says the university trustees considered the deals struck by cities like Chicago and tried to learn from their mistakes. Alutto says the final contract includes 700 pages of constraints and limitations so the university can "maintain adequate control" of the leased lots.
Part of the deal is that QIC Global and LAZ Parking cannot raise the cost of parking more than 5.5 percent annually for the first ten years, and beyond that they can't raise it more than 4 percent, or the average increase in cost of living, whichever is higher.

Junior wide receiver Chris Dunn made the catch of the day with a diving grab of a Joe Kemp offering on Monday afternoon.
Aug. 11, 2008
Coach Toledo's Comments Following Monday's Practice
NEW ORLEANS - A steady rain and severe lightning in the New Orleans area caused the Tulane University football team to cut short its practice as the Green Wave took the field for just 90 minutes in day four of preseason camp Monday afternoon at the Westfeldt Practice Facility.
Taking the field at 2:50 p.m., the team was forced inside for a half hour at 3:22 p.m. as lightning struck close by. The squad reconvened for a quick stretch and practice resumed at 3:52 p.m. only to have the day called early when a second lightning strike forced the coaches to call it a day at 4:50 p.m.
"It's hard to get a lot done," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "We go out there and we have a few periods - five or six. We're out there for about half an hour and we get lightning. We have to come in for half an hour. We go back out and get lightning again and we have to come back in. We didn't get much accomplished.
"Our freshmen had to take their final tests today, but we knew that was going to happen and we had a plan for that. But you don't have a plan for when it continues to rain and lightning. What can you do?"
But while practice was shortened a bit due to the inclement weather conditions, Toledo and his team were able to get some valuable work in during their time on the field. With the team taking the field for the first time donning helmets, shoulder pads and shorts, the coaching staff introduced the kickoff return game plan and also implemented a game-time scenario where the offense had the ball first-and-10 from inside its own five-yard line.
The offense took six snaps with the ball from the one-to-four yard lines and both sides of the ball took turns making plays. Offensively, sophomore quarterback Kevin Moore connected with junior wideout Jeremy Williams for a 10-yard gain on the first play, junior running back André Anderson made a nifty four-yard scamper on a busted play, true freshman running back Nathan Austin showed good power on a six-yard gain, and junior receiver Chris Dunn made a diving grab of a Joe Kemp offering for a 20-plus yard gain. On defense, sophomore defensive end Tony Bryant caused a fumble on a big hit in the backfield on a running play and forced an incompletion with tight coverage.
The biggest hit of the day came on kickoff return drills when junior linebacker James McMurchy blindsided walk-on freshman Sean Dwyer, which sprung Williams for a long gainer. Not to be left out, junior cornerback Charles Harris intercepted a Kemp passes during seven-on-seven drills.
"It's not full gear and we're not bringing guys to the ground, but you can obviously get a lot more work done in helmets and shoulder pads than you can with just helmets," Toledo said. "I think, for the most part, they did alright. You can run around a little more full speed and bang into each other with shoulder pads. So I was pleased with that. We just didn't get enough of it."
The Green Wave return to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 3:35 p.m. for another day in shells at the Westfeldt Practice Facility. The team will practice in full pads on Wednesday, Aug. 13, with a session slated to begin at 3:35 p.m. Tulane opens the 2008 season on Saturday, Sept. 6, when they travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the University of Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Season tickets for the 2008 Tulane football season are now on sale through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. For more information on 2008 Tulane football tickets or tickets to any future Green Wave home athletic event, contact the Ticket Office at (504) 861-WAVE.

Customers are leaving banks that don't offer mobile banking services
Customers are leaving banks that are not offering mobile banking services, such as balance inquiries and transfers and bill payments through photo imaging, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Around 60 percent of mobile device users who switched banks in the fourth quarter of last year cited mobile banking as a factor in the switch, up from only 7 percent in the second quarter of 2010, according to data from AlixPartners cited by the Journal.
Around one-third of banking customers have deposited checks using photo imaging on their mobile devices in the fourth quarter, compared to 22 percent two years earlier, according to AlixPartners.
The good news for banks is that mobile banking costs less than other forms of transactions. The average cost for a mobile transaction is 10 cents, about half the cost of a desktop transaction and much less than an ATM transaction, which can cost $1.25 on average, based on data from Javelin Strategy and Research cited by the newspaper.
Security worries still plague customers: 41 percent of customers surveyed by Javelin said that security was a deterrent to their embracing mobile banking services.
The Federal Reserve has found mobile device owners are embracing mobile banking. A majority of U.S. smartphone owners used mobile banking services last year, according to a survey of 2,600 consumers conducted by GfK on behalf of the Federal Reserve Board.
The most common mobile banking activities are reviewing account balances, monitoring recent transactions or transferring money between accounts. A full 38 percent of mobile banking users used their smartphone to deposit a check last year.

A traveler offers 11 reasons why Kauai's North Shore is the dreamiest part of the Hawaiian islands.
Choosing a favorite Hawaiian island is like picking a favorite grand cru champagne. All the options are good, so why be particular? Because it's fun. In that spirit, I'll tell you that while I would never turn my nose up at, say, Maui, my hands-down favorite island is Kauai. And Kauai's North Shore, the 15-mile stretch of coastline from the former guava-farming town of Kilauea to rugged Ke'e Beach, is hands down my favorite part of Kauai. Eleven reasons:
1. The BEACHES here have a primeval beauty. With its turquoise waters and creamy sand, Lumaha'i Beach is so lovely, it practically hurts to look at it. Almost as pretty and better for snorkeling: Tunnels Beach, where an extensive reef shelters parrot fish and sea turtles. And at Ke'e Beach, sitting alone one early morning with the jungle-covered mountains at my back, I feel like a happy castaway.
2. Or I would, but for the noisy CHICKENS foraging nearby. The colorful wild chickens of Kauai descend from domesticated birds that flew their coops and, in the absence of predators, multiplied unchecked. Tiny chicks wander across hotel patios while cocky roosters fertilize the golf courses in Princeville, the North Shore's largest resort community. For me, the North Shore's chickens keep it funky.
3. So do the narrow old bridges. HANALEI, the offbeat little beach town that boasts dozens of restaurants and shops, has stayed offbeat and little because enormous construction trucks can't traverse the skinny one-lane bridge into town.
4. Hanalei's inaccessibility explains its lack of grand hotels. In their absence the most striking structure in town remains the petite 178-year-old WAI'OLI HUI'IA CHURCH, a green-shingled American Gothic chapel where United Church of Christ services incorporate Hawaiian hymns accompanied by the ukulele.
5. I could spend an entire day at Hanalei's YELLOWFISH TRADING CO., a trove of antique Hawaiiana. Treasures include painted chalkware hula girls and vintage menus featuring artwork by Eugene Savage, an Indiana-born painter whose idyllic depictions of Polynesian life helped shape mainland daydreams about the islands.
6. The agricultural bounty here is no daydream. At the FARMERS' MARKET in Hanalei, I sample tangy local goat cheese, honey, mangoes, and chico, a tennis ball–size fruit that tastes like a persimmon crossed with a banana.
7. At the broad, agate-green HANALEI RIVER, bamboo and hibiscus grow right down to the edge of the water. One afternoon I climb into a kayak and paddle, then drift as the current pulls me seaward. I hear the ocean's distant roar. A sea turtle dips below the surface so quickly it might be a mirage. The roar grows louder, and suddenly I'm floating at the river's mouth, alone in a kayak, gazing in awe at the Pacific.
8. After such a paddle, a drive to Banana Joe's just north of Kilauea for a restorative FROSTY—a thick shake made of seasonal fruit such as banana, papaya, and pineapple—is practically a requirement.
9. Another requirement: visit the 1913 classic revival KILAUEA POINT LIGHTHOUSE. Built on a finger of lava jutting into the sea, the tower reminds you that you are small, the world is large, and the ocean—lashing the rocks 200 feet below—is mighty. Stroll through Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and you may see a nene, the Hawaiian goose; about 1,800 remain on the planet.
10. Even rarer than the nene is a species of loulu palm that grows only in LIMAHULI GARDEN AND PRESERVE, an arboretum situated in a remote, steep-sided valley. Other specimens include a nearly extinct hibiscus whose pale blossoms are white in the morning, turn pinkish by the afternoon, and last but a day, and the alula, a goofy-looking endangered succulent that also goes by the fitting name "cabbage on a stick."
11. But the plant most vital to the North Shore—economically, culturally, culinarily—is TARO. Local people use the tubers to make poi, the starchy Hawaiian staple. The root also yields sublime sweets, such as Hanalei Taro & Juice Co.'s kulolo, a velvety coconut-taro pudding that tastes a bit like caramel, a bit like carob, but mostly just like kulolo. The only trouble with trying this exotic confection: You will love it and never find anything quite like it anywhere else in the world. Likewise, the only trouble with visiting Kauai's North Shore is that you will love it and never find anything quite like it anywhere else in the world.

Murofushi, a two-time Olympic hammer medallist, joined hundreds of local schoolchildren to form the words 'Tokyo 2020' on the playing field ahead of the stadium's final event – an Asian Five Nations rugby match between Japan and Hong Kong.
"Being on the field today was very moving," said Murofushi. "This stadium is the sanctum of Japanese sport, full of history and memories. I am delighted and deeply honoured to be here as part of the celebrations to mark its closure."
The National Stadium first opened in 1958 and hosted that year's Asian Games before staging the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, as well as the athletics events, during the 1964 Olympic Games.
The new National Stadium – designed by architect Zaha Hadid – is now due to be constructed on the site ahead of the 2020 Games.
"The new National Stadium will be astounding and I can't wait to be back here in 2020 to welcome athletes and spectators from around the world and to see the fantastic performances," added Murofushi. "Younger generations will also have the chance to make history in the new National Stadium during the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo."
TOKYO 2020 President Yoshiro Mori commented, "In six years from now, the new National Stadium will be the centrepiece of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and will play host to the world's elite athletes. I am looking forward to joining the many fans that will gather here then to welcome the world, and to communicate the power and the values of sport and the Olympic Movement not only to the people of Japan, but to people across the entire planet."
He continued, "The new stadium will be a legacy for future generations, and I hope the people of Japan will join us in uniting their efforts to ensure that the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games are a resounding success."
The landmark new National Stadium will also be used for matches during the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as well as hosting the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, athletics, football and rugby competitions during the 2020 Olympic Games.

Jason Aldean Criticizes Zac Brown's Comments On Country Music
Jason Aldean has criticized Zac Brown's comments on country music, via Instagram.
If you haven't been following this, Zac Brown of Zac Brown Band recently made a ton of comments in an interview with 93.7 JRfm. The link to some of these is here, in addition to the comments of Gary Allan and Kacey Musgraves, who have added to the debate.
Jason Aldean wasn't happy with Zac Brown saying that Luke Bryan's 'That's My Kind of Night' was the worst country song ever. He took to Instagram, saying, "I hear some other artist [is] bashing my boy Luke Bryan['s] new song, sayin' its the worst song they have ever heard… To those people runnin' their mouths, trust me when I tell [you] that nobody gives a sh** what [you] think. Its a big ol' hit, so apparently the fans love it which is what matters. Keep doin' [your] thing LB!"
Wow. Do you agree with Jason? Personally, I'm with Zac, although I'm not sure it's the worst country song ever. But this comment from Jason is the first from an artist to come out in defense of what is currently going on in country so that may lead to more on that side of things. Equally more artists will likely come out of the woodwork to back up Zac and the others. This is turning a bit crazy, but I love it.

Laura Marling – Where Can I Go?
"I was a daddy's girl sometime, but I love my momma 'til the end of the line." So begins the latest track from English folk singer Laura Marling, "Where Can I Go?," a rollicking guitar ballad that borrows the organ sound from Dylan's "Like a Rollin' Stone" to strong effect. Marling isn't reinventing the wheel here — there are touches of Tracy Chapman, nods to Nick Drake, a heavy dose of Dylan. This is old fashioned folk music, but it's beautiful. More often than not, that's enough.
"Where Can I Go?" is the lead single off Laura Marling's Once I Was An Eagle, due out May 27th via Virgin.

News making the rounds says the marriage of talented actress,Georgina Onuoha-Igwegbe has crumbled.
The marriage is done with,said a source,and with the way it is it may not be redeemable.
We reliably gathered that so bad has the situation become that her husband,Ifeanyi Igwegbe,has allegedly abandoned their matrimonial home.
We learnt the couple now lives in two different states in the U.S.
Constant disagreement was given as the major reason the man fled,leaving behind his wife and their two daughters.
It would be recall that the union was contracted amidst controversy then.
All effort to reach Georgina to comment on this issue proved abortive as her number was not available.

Now,whether you are a man or a woman, my advice is this: When you see any of these characteristics listed in a man/woman no matter how slightly,do not believe he/she would change unless there is a devine intervention. (but watch the intervention from far):
1)Fear of being vulnerable, 2)Slave to the expectations of others, 3)Stubborn adherence to false beliefs,4)Habitually pessimistic,5)Mistrust of one's own capability, 6) Closed-minded, and 7) Cowardice.
And for your information, failed marriages do not just happen to celebrities, many common people split with their spouses.
it is a curse on these women? why is it that nollywood actors are free from all these?
There is a problem in Nollywood which is affecting their marriages.
No one stays married for more than 5 yrs except for the likes of omotola and chioma chukwuka and maybe one more person This shows that we should all put our attonement dressess and start attoning for the divorce disease in Nollywood

Medical Board of California disciplines license
of Yuba City/Marysville physician
SACRAMENTO — The medical license of Ifeanyi Igwegbe, M.D. has been disciplined by the Medical Board of California. "The mission of the Medical Board is public protection, and this action reflects the Board's ongoing commitment to that mission," said Linda Whitney, executive director of the Medical Board.
On May 25, 2010, Igwegbe was arrested and charged with two felonies: driving under the influence and causing bodily injury, a violation of Vehicle Code section 23153(a), and driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 or more, a violation of Vehicle Code section 23153(b). Witnesses observed Igwegbe's vehicle weaving and traveling at speeds up to 80 miles per hour, when the vehicle began to spin, sliding through the center median and hitting a car traveling in the opposite direction, injuring that driver. Igwegbe told the arresting officer he was a physician and on his way to work. He stated he had patients waiting for him and procedures scheduled. The arresting officer administered a series of field sobriety tests, which Igwegbe failed. Igwegbe was taken to Rideout Memorial Hospital where he provided a blood sample. On June 7, 2010, the blood sample was found to be positive for alcohol at a level of 0.13 percent.
On July 16, 2010, an Interim Suspension Order was issued, immediately suspending Igwegbe's license to practice medicine. A full hearing was held on July 21, 2010. Igwegbe maintained his innocence and pointed out he has cooperated with three psychological evaluations, and voluntarily reported his arrest and pending criminal action to the Medical Board. He stated he has been cooperative, and his employer has safeguards in place, which include requiring him to submit to a daily breathalyzer test and random urine tests. After consideration, the court determined the procedures and protocols in place would ensure patient safety and the Interim Suspension Order was upheld, but with limited restrictions, stating Igwegbe should not be on call at any time, and he could not practice at any facility other than his current employer, Sutter Medical Foundation North, the Endoscopy Center, and Fremont-Rideout Hospital. Each location has policies and protocols in place to ensure Igwegbe is not intoxicated or otherwise impaired to practice medicine, and Igwegbe stated he was willing to abide by any additional practice or license restrictions imposed in this case.
Igwegbe filed a motion to seek modification of the Interim Suspension Order, which was heard on July 29, 2010. Igwegbe stated he was dissatisfied with his current employer because of their treatment of him in this matter. He stated he wanted to resign from his current position and seek employment at Oroville Hospital. He stated Oroville Hospital was aware of his pending criminal matter, had presented a job offer to him, and would implement the same safety procedures in place at his current employment; however, Igwegbe presented no documentation to the court from Oroville Hospital to support his claim. Subsequently, the judge ordered the Interim Suspension Order remain in effect, and the Medical Board adopted this order.
The 48 year old doctor reportedly told officers he was on his way to perform several surgeries at Rideout Hospital at the time of the crash. Igwegbe was not injured in the crash and was booked into Sutter County Jail on DUI charges. The woman in the other car suffered minor injuries but was not taken to the hospital.
According to Vitals.com, Dr. Dr. Ifeanyi Igwegbe is a board-certified gastroenterologist with 12 years of experience.
Do you even know why he wss charged and the status of the case today?
Ifeanyi Charles Igwegbe is scheduled to be arraigned next month on two felony counts of causing injury by dui.
His attorney says he intends to plead not guilty and says his client had not been drinking that morning.
Igwegbe -- a gastroenterologist -- was scheduled to perform five procedures on May 25, on the day of the crash.
According to court documents, other drivers noticed Igwegbe's 2006 Honda Accord weaving at about 80 mph before his vehicle crossed the center line and hit a car causing injuries to its driver that a lawsuit says will result in "some permanent disability."
The California Highway Patrol says Igwegbe refused to take a breath test after the accident. A blood test found that his blood alcohol level was 0.13, 0.5 point over the legal limit.

A former Yuba City doctor, convicted in July of driving under the influence when he crashed into an Olivehurst woman's car, can no longer practice medicine, the Medical Board of California ruled Friday.
The board formally revoked the license of Ifeanyi Charles Igwegbe, according to Linda Whitney, executive director of the state board.
"The mission of the Medical Board is public protection, and this action reflects the Board's ongoing commitment to that mission," Whitney said in a statement.
Igwegbe, 49, of North Highlands, was convicted by a Sutter County Superior Court jury of injuring Lilia L. Munoz while driving drunk on May 25, 2010, on Highway 99/70 in south Sutter County.
Igwegbe performed colonoscopies at Rideout Memorial Hospital and was on his way to work when lost control of his Honda Accord north of Riego Road, crossed the median and crashed into Munoz's car, authorities said.
His blood-alcohol content was 0.13 percent, nearly twice the legal limit, about 90 minutes after the crash, according to court records.
"He would have been intoxicated at the time of any medical procedure performed at 9 a.m. that same morning," Whitney said.
Igwegbe has consistently denied being intoxicated at the time.
Witnesses reportedly saw Igwegbe's vehicle swerve at least four times moments before the crash. At his trial in July, Igwegbe testified he was reaching for his cellular phone at the time.
Igwegbe is due for sentencing Nov. 18, but court documents indicate he is considering filing a motion for a new trial. Records show he has fired his trial attorney, Michael J. Khouri, and replaced him with John P. Brennan of Sacramento.
Brennan wrote that Igwegbe's trial lawyer may have failed to provide adequate legal representation. Lawyers at the office said they had no comment.
Igwegbe faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison, but prosecutors have previously said it is more likely he will receive probation since he has no prior criminal record.
Other legal troubles are mounting against the former physician.
Munoz filed a personal injury lawsuit against Igwegbe in August last year seeking unspecified damages. That case is due back in court Dec. 5.
At a July hearing of the state Medical Board, lawyers for Igwegbe argued he had already been "punished enough" and had been unable to find a job in nearly two years.
"The Medical Board argued that Igwegbe's behavior on May 25, 2010, showed he posed a serious risk to the public and his patients," Whitney said.
Igwegbe received his medical degree from American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in 1994. He completed his residency training and fellowship at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, according to the Sutter North Medical Group website.
He remains free on bail pending sentencing.

Basic education provides a forum through which to provide important prevention messages. In addition, schooling has a protective effect in terms of reducing risk behaviors. "Life skills" or "skill-based" programming provides students with the ability to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Life skills curricula include not only HIV information, but also age- and culture- appropriate sex education, and negotiation and decision-making skills. For example, through this programming, students learn about the ways in which HIV is transmitted, how to negotiate delay of sexual debut, and reduce their risk for HIV.
In carrying out this work, PEPFAR collaborates with USAID's basic education programs. Through the GHI, PEPFAR is working with countries to help educational programs deliver coordinated prevention messages. It will also train teachers to deliver quality HIV and life skills curricula. Through Partnership Frameworks, PEPFAR will also work with partner governments to ensure that Ministries of Education are involved in government-wide, multisectoral responses to HIV.
PEPFAR recognizes that a lack of economic assets increases vulnerability to infection, particularly for women, girls and OVC. In addition, extreme poverty can interfere with treatment adherence for PLWHA, leading to worse health outcomes. PEPFAR supports efforts to expand economic opportunities to PLWHA, OVC, and populations at risk for infection. These opportunities help them to avoid high-risk behaviors, to seek and receive health care services, and to care for their families. Such efforts include:
In its next phase, PEPFAR is expanding partnerships in these areas, in order to leverage both expertise and funds from these areas to achieve mutual objectives. A particular focus is working to assist orphans and vulnerable children in accessing vocational training or job opportunities, enabling them to support themselves and their families.

Hundreds of students walked out of school on Wednesday, but they weren't ditching for conventional reasons.
The mobilized teenagers were protesting education budget cuts in Union Square, particularly the impending closure of Legacy High School for Integrated Studies on 14th Street in Manhattan.
Mayor Bloomberg and the Department of Education are on a campaign to close public schools, one that disproportionately affects communities of color.
"Only 13% of black and Latino students are college ready," said Justice Hatterson, 17, from the Bronx. "But it's only schools of minorities that are getting shut down."
In fact, the Independent Budget Office found that the 25 schools up for closure in the 2011-2012 school year have a "disproportionately large share of black students and a disproportionately small share of white students."
A CUNY professor, speaking on condition of anonymity, explained Bloomberg's methodical pattern of public school privatization. "Bloomberg's policy is part of the neoliberal privatization agenda held by hedge funds – people who want to make a profit off of education. For the past few years he has been dismantling community schools. He's threatening to close 30 schools, fire all the teachers, and then re-hire only half of them."
But Bloomberg has underestimated the power of the people.
"They expected the community to just take it and not do anything about it," Nacirema, 16, said. "I feel proud."
Somewhat unprecedentedly, students, teachers and parents from K-12 schools and CUNY schools are working together.
"What's inspiring is that Occupy Wall Street has energized people from New York City to imagine what is possible," the CUNY professor continued. "It's encouraging people to work in coalition."
April Pichardo, 16, a junior at Legacy, echoed that spirit of cooperation. "We have a voice. The whole school walked out," she said proudly.
Some teachers were informed but couldn't appear at the protests, something Pichardo, for one, understands.
"The teachers are part of the DOE," she said. "Let's say they came to protests with us–they're protesting against their own boss."
Comments on the NYC Student Walk Out! Facebook page indicate that many students were suspended for fighting for their own right to an education.
"This was a good event except for the fact that a LOT of people in my school were suspended for leaving," Jonah Babilonia wrote.
The final decision regarding Legacy High will be made on February 9, when the Panel for Education Policy holds a vote on proposals to close the 25 schools.
But regardless of the outcome, the action was deemed a success, partly due to the unseasonably warm January day. In the words of one protestor, "Spring's coming early."
He wasn't referring to the weather.

Hi Hermes, thanks for the encouragement and kind words. It's always a pleasure to see and ride with you and Velo Diva. My experience is that if I'm climbing in anything smaller than a 39 X 23 on a climb of 6% or less, I'm going to get dropped. I had a 25 for last week's race where there were some 8% ramps. I got dropped anyway.
AzTR, looking forward to giving you a lead out in SoCal.
Today was a really strange day. Can't get into the details for several reasons but everything is basically fine right now. I ended up riding 56 miles instead of 100+ miles so I guess I'll have to race harder in tomorrow's TT. My, I have plenty of excuses, no pressure race is out the window.

Okay, I know there have to be some pretty good long bow makers out there. With that said, I have a really nice long bow made by a guy out in Georgia, very good quality, and I plan to own it for a long time. However, I would like one same weight to have as a back up or to shoot as well but preferably made out here from local, West Coast, woods. I can only say that I don't plan on doing business with the guy again in Georgia due to his lack of professionalism and that is all I will say on that subject.So, where are the good long bow builders out West?

i have a couple Black Widows, one longbow and one recurve, in woods of my choice. they are not west coast bowyers, however they will make you a bow out of any wood of your choice(west coast, east coast, this coast, that coast, etc...) will cost a little bit though. widows are not cheap. if that bow in your picture is what i think it is, it was not cheap either.
Posted 03 October 2010 - 12:02 AM
You do not want any of my self bows only one shooter so far and its mine. There's a guy by Stockton that makes long bows not cheap but a little cheaper than a widow.Will get his info for you. Widows are very good bows.
Posted 04 October 2010 - 06:23 PM
Thanks guys for all your help!NJE, yes, it was made by a guy out in Georgia, but a decent price. Just not interested in doing business with him again.Thumper, I look forward to that information!!!Happy hunting guys!El
Posted 05 October 2010 - 06:37 AM
Bill Griffen builds and awesome bow at a good price. He is out in Arizona - look up Zona Bows. I got my longbow from him a few years ago, and it is a great shooting bow for the $600 I paid. Sign up on Archery Talk and view the hundreds of pictures there of his work. He does nearly all his business from the ArcheryTalk website, and that is the best way to contact him. Mines 55# and made from Cocobolo and highly figured Bocote.

5 glorious days at a beach resort in a tropical paradise. 5 star resort... it was worth every penny! Like pinkballerina, there were quite a number of activities we could have done, but we hung out at the beach and ate ourselves into food comas. It was ridiculously expensive, but the most amazing vacation I've ever been on. Would do it again in a heart beat!Mi corazón Zoe Milena

Not married yet, but I know exactly where I want to go! It's been a lifelong dream of mine to see Europe, so if my future husband took me, I'd be the happiest woman alive. I really don't care where--my ancestry comes from England, Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, and Germany, so I'd love to see any of those places (plus, I just want to see the British Isles, anyway!); my best friend lived and died (and is buried) in Paris, and I want more than anything to visit her gravesite and pay my respects; more than any place in the world, I want to see Prague (and maybe Austria!). There's so much to see I don't really expect to see it all, but if my husband took me literally anywhere in Europe I'd die a happy woman. Who knows if we'll be able to afford it (there are a lot of variables between now and then!), but that's definitely what I want. I love the beach, and I'm sure I'd love the beach (and any vacation) with my husband, but exploring Europe with him would sort of be a dream come true.
ETA: My dad took my mom to Disney World/the EPCOT Centre and then on a Caribbean cruise; they always remember it with the fondest of memories. Much as I want to see Europe, if I can only have that much fun with my husband (especially on our honeymoon!), I'm sure I'll be happy.

I'm not married either, but I've spent some time thinking about it since I think it very well may be my only chance to travel overseas... part of me wants to go somewhere warm and tropical so I can lay on a beach and relax after all that wedding stress, the other part wants to go to a place I may never have a chance to visit again, like France, China, or Japan. I really want to visit all three of those countries, but who knows if I'll have the money in the future. Disneyland is another one I'd consider but I don't think so... if I have the chance to go somewhere amazing and exotic I'd rather do that and go to Disneyland with my kids, if and when I have them.
My SO has already been to Africa, England, Canada, Mexico, and India, so I wouldn't want to go somewhere he'd been before (if we got married, lol). I'd rather find a new place to explore together.baby BOY arriving november 2015

We did a week at a beach resort in Mexico, and loved it. Neither of us are really beach resort people, but after the stress of planning a move and a wedding, plus working in a high-stress job, I really just needed a week of doing very little. It was nice because there were some cultural sites to visit (Chichen-Itza and Tulum) but we also had the option of staying on the resort if we didn't feel like going anywhere.
What I would have changed? Well, there was a hurricane during the week we were there! It downgraded to a tropical storm at the last minute, but it basically kept us stuck in our rooms for a day. Still, no worries about stuck in your room when you're on your honeymoon, eh? ;-) The funniest part was that we weren't worried at all, but when I checked my email the day after the storm, there were a million emails from friends and family who were very concerned. Stupid CNN must have overblown the whole thing. I guess just be mindful that if you go down south in September or October, it is still hurricane season.Miriam ~ Helena ~ Estella ~ Beatrice ~ Anastasia ~ Veronica ~ Sarah ~ EstherPaul ~ Wesley ~ Walter ~ Edmund ~ Isaac ~ Abram ~ Gabriel

"This is not bribery. This is politics," Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge John Herlihy wrote in a sweeping 33-page decision made public Tuesday. Herlihy dismissed the notion that Gonzales broke the law when he tried to "solve a problem" confronting a labor union that subsequently supported his re-election.
Absent a decision by the Santa Clara district attorney to try to reinstate the case through an appeal, the ruling would mark the end of a nearly seven-year saga that stained the reputation of a career politician who completed his final term in office last December as perhaps the city's least popular public figure.
Gonzales, 56, did not comment on the decision Tuesday but is expected to do so today.
"Throughout this whole process, he's never complained, he's never been asked to be treated differently than anybody else," said his attorney, Allen Ruby. "All he's asked for is the benefit of an impartial justice system, and that's what happened."
The judge's ruling "paints a compelling picture that there was no crime committed here," Ruby said.
Deputy District Attorney Julius Finkelstein, who prosecuted the case, said: "We're surprised by the ruling, and we're disappointed for the San Jose ratepayers who lost $11.25 million because of this secret, backroom deal.
History of charges
At Finkelstein's urging, a grand jury last June issued the surprising indictment against Gonzales, his budget aide Joe Guerra and Norcal Waste Systems, alleging that their failure to disclose actions related to the garbage contract constituted crimes. Gonzales already had publicly apologized for those actions when the city council passed a resolution censuring him and closing down a city investigation into the controversy.
Finkelstein alleged Gonzales, Guerra and Norcal conspired to ensure Norcal would receive $11.25 million more than it had initially bid for a city garbage contract. The charges included bribery, falsification of records, misappropriation of public funds and conspiracy to cheat and defraud the public.
In tossing out the charges, Herlihy ruled Finkelstein erred in instructing the grand jury on every count. The incorrect instructions, Herlihy said, were based on misinterpretations of the law and misreadings of the evidence.
The case was based largely on the events of October 2000, when the city council was slated to consider a low bid by Norcal to take over most of the solid waste hauling in the city. That bid was based in part on an assumption by David Duong, president of Norcal subcontractor California Waste Solutions, that it could import to a new San Jose recycling plant a low-wage labor contract it held with the Longshoremen's union in Oakland.
Teamsters complain
But under a city "worker retention" policy, CWS was required to hire workers already employed by the city's former contractor, and those workers already were represented by the Teamsters union under a contract that provided better wages and benefits. Upon hearing of Duong's plans to implement the lower-wage contract, Teamster leader Robert Morales complained to Gonzales. Days before the first city council vote, Gonzales allegedly told Norcal's top executive that if he got his subcontractor to bargain with the Teamsters, Gonzales would support the Norcal contract and the city would reimburse the cost.
The extra cost - which after Guerra brokered a subsequent labor contract between CWS and the Teamsters amounted to $11.25 million over five years - was not revealed to the city council until 2004.
The mayor's October 2000 promise to Norcal, according to the prosecution's two theories, constituted bribery. First, Finkelstein told the grand jury that a bribe occurs even if the benefit goes to a third party - in this case, the Teamsters - and not the alleged bribe-taker, in this case the mayor. Finkelstein later argued that Gonzales received an indirect benefit through the Teamsters' political support.
But Herlihy ruled that California law does not support the first theory and that there was no evidence to support the second, undermining the entirety of the prosecution's case.
Herlihy attacked a fundamental assumption behind the prosecution's case - that the recycling company could decide which union to bargain with.
Herlihy said that because of the worker retention policy, the only reasonable conclusion was that the recycling workers "would have remained with the Teamsters" no matter what Gonzales did. And while Finkelstein argued that nothing in the city's bid requirements protected the workers' wages, the judge said it was clear the council intended to do so and had the authority to insist on it.
"Even without the mayor's intervention and promise to make Norcal `whole,' it was highly likely that the city would have still voted for the additional $11.25 million amendment to the contract," Herlihy wrote.
William Goodman, the attorney for Norcal, praised the judge's ruling. "Unless you could accept - and labor law doesn't allow one to accept - the premise that David Duong could unilaterally compel Teamsters to switch unions and do so with a cut of 30 or 40percent in pay and benefits, then the case falls apart," he said. "The only person who apparently didn't accept that is Julius Finkelstein."
The conspiracy and misappropriation counts failed, according to Herlihy, because the mayor's request that CWS deal with the Teamsters - as federal law would require the company to do anyway - was legal. And he ruled that, according to the law prohibiting the alteration or falsification of documents, Gonzales could not be charged with falsifying an original record that he had created.
No legal foundation
Herlihy concluded that Gonzales, Guerra and Norcal "were delinquent in their responsibility to be open and to fully disclose their knowledge, actions and policies." But, he added, the prosecution's case lacked the legal foundation to believe crimes had occurred.
Finkelstein said Tuesday he had not yet had time to analyze the ruling and declined to discuss its conclusions. He said prosecutors have not decided whether to appeal, impanel a new grand jury or drop the case.
The decision to move ahead will be up to District Attorney Dolores Carr, who took office in January and was not part of the decision to bring the case last year. Carr would not discuss the matter Tuesday.
If Carr chooses to appeal, she will need the consent of Attorney General Jerry Brown, whose office would be responsible for filing the appeal.
Former District Attorney George Kennedy, who authorized filing the case against the mayor of the nation's 10th largest city could not be reached for comment.
Robert Weisberg, a Stanford University law professor, said the judge's ruling left prosecutors with only long-shot options. He called it a strong denunciation of the indictment's legal theories and questioned whether it would make sense to appeal or try again with the grand jury.
"It's an extremely persuasive opinion," Weisberg said.

For the past several weeks I have been putting together hat patterns combined with complete step by step photo tutorials. With each design I have added as much difference in detail as possible. This new perch hat has trilby style and flair and it is entirely different than any of the other Steampunk Victorian hat patterns I have now offered for sale. My purpose of this particular style was to offer two brim styles in one pattern.
From this view the two hats look exactly the same design and from this side they are.
Why perch style hats? It is because I can add far more detail in helping you make your hat than working on full hat patterns. To offer a full head hat I would have to design three hats in sizes instead of one. This would not allow me to add the amount of photos and step by step detail that I do.
From the front you can now see the difference. The one on the left has both sides turned up and the size of the brim is equal on each side. The one on the right has the same brim shape on the right side, but the left side is smaller and turns downwards a little so that flowers of other decoration can be added. Now the hat looks completely different.
From this angle you can see the real difference in the brim styles.
If you would like to see more about these two hats, please visit these two blogs
The hat pattern is now available for a charge of $19.95. It includes the pattern pieces and a step by step photo tutorial.

Tag: Lock-Out
Daniel Roos' Rhyming Reviews: Lockout (2012)
by Daniel Roos on Apr.16, 2012, under Movies
I saw the new sci-fi action flick Lockout.
It was a solid hit, albeit not quite a knock-out.
It's the near future inmates take control of a prison in space
During a visit from the President's cuter daughter played, by Maggie Grace.
The situation looks grim, the opposition looks fierce,
Time to call on him — that's right, Guy Pearce?!
Pearce plays a covert operative turned convict,
Jailed for a crime he did not commit.
He's a wise-crackin', Snake Plissken anti-hero
Perfect for battlin' baddies in gravity zero.
Now his ticket to redemption
Is a save-the-damsel suicide mission. (continue reading…)
TRAILER: Lock-Out (2012)
by Daniel Roos on Jan.26, 2012, under Movies
The good news: One of my favorite actors, Guy Pearce, is back to headlining a big budget, big screen movie! The bad news: It's in a cliche riddled sci-fi picture that looks to be a combination of Escape From New York, Fortress, and Taken (it even stars Maggie Grace as the damsel in distress!). The premise: In the future, the President's daughter (Grace) is trapped on a space prison where the inmates have taken control. Enter a escape artist (Pearce) sent to bring her back alive. I ain't gonna lie: I'm gonna see it. (continue reading…)

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa versus Drake. Make no mistake about it; there is a little extra meaning when the two in-state rivals meet on an annual basis, and this year will be no different.
The 22nd-ranked Hawkeyes host the Bulldogs at 4 p.m. (CT) on Saturday on Mediacom Court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and as usual, there are a number of storylines featuring the ties that bind the two programs.
Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder -- one of 13 active Division I coaches with 600 or more wins -- coached 10 successful seasons (1990-2000) at Drake before taking over the Hawkeye program.
Iowa associate head coach Jan Jensen and assistant coach Jenni Fitzgerald both played and coached at Drake. Jensen is one of only two Drake women's basketball players to have her uniform retired. Both Jensen and Fitzgerald received the Drake Double D Award, which is the highest honor Drake bestows on its student-athletes.
For the second year in a row, the Hawkeye staff will be game-planning against a familiar face; Drake head coach Jennie (Lillis) Baranczyk.
"She was a tremendous player and competitor for us," said Bluder. "She brings that same type of competitiveness to her coaching as she did leading us in rebounding.
"It's hard, because if she was at an Illinois State it would be easier. When you add the rivalry to it... I'd rather not play her. I'd rather my former players be coaching and I never have to coach against them. It's not something I look forward to."
Baranczyk was a four-year letterwinner at Iowa, graduating in 2004. She was an honorable mention All-American and a three-time All-Big Ten selection. She still ranks fifth in career scoring (1,762), fifth in blocks (114), seventh in rebounds (827), eighth in steals (190) and 14th in assists (297).
The contest against the Bulldogs has long been an emotional game for the Iowa staff.
"The Drake game is more emotional for us because all of us spent time there," said Bluder. "Jan and Jenni were there for eight years, and I was there a decade. That's a long time when you're there for a decade, that's roots you have in a community, school.
"We were a part of the game that opened the Knapp Center. Jan and Jenni played there; Jan has her jersey retired there. This one is always a little more emotional than the other ones, even though I played at UNI. This one has more emotion for me."
Each year the Hawkeye head coach tries to distance herself, but the emotions still linger.
"Every year you get further and further away from it," said Bluder. "Every year you distance yourself a little more away from it and you need to. You have to because you don't want those types of feelings. I will cheer for Drake every single game of the year except for this one. This one we're out to win."
Shelley Till, mother of Hawkeye sophomore Claire Till, and Missy Disterhoft, mother of Hawkeye freshman Ally Disterhoft, played basketball at Drake and were teammates with current Iowa assistants Jan Jensen and Jenni Fitzgerald.
"There is added meaning because there is a lot of history, but we view it as another game," said Disterhoft. "We are excited to get back out there on our home court in front of our great Hawkeye fans.
"It is another in-state game," said Till. "It is our last game before break, and it is a big game, like every other game. We have to be focused on playing Iowa basketball."
The first 1,000 fans in attendance at Saturday's game will receive an Iowa stocking.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for youth. Youth -- five years old and younger -- are admitted free to all games, and UI students are admitted free. Tickets can be purchased online at hawkeyesports.com, over the phone at 1-800 IA-HAWKS, and at the UI Athletics Ticket Office in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

I was about to TU the site, but it looks like they're missing a lot of the smaller stuff, and the navigation isn't as seamless as I would hope.
That 2 O-rings I bought from the dealership for my AC pipes aren't listed on there.
Ebay is an absolute steal for some aftermarket parts though. I got a brand new AC condenser shipped to my house in 2 days for $46 that worked great. I got the radiator fan for like $20 shipped. Probably Chinese, but for the price difference, I really don't care for a 12 year old car.
Often times you can ask the parts manager at your lcoal dealership to match online prices. I have acutally had him set up an account for me with the discount, so that I don't have to ask for him every time. Whoever is at the counter just brings up my name, and discount is automatic.
WOW! You beat me there. I got a Chinese made condenser from Rock Auto for $130 shipped, and thought it was a good deal. Honda wanted $700.

Jeff Mangum, whose '90s band Neutral Milk Hotel had an outsized influence on indie rock, plays two solo shows at the Moore Theatre Monday and Tuesday.
Jeff Mangum, in town solo this week, is a game-changer, or rather his Louisiana band Neutral Milk Hotel was, with its 1998 possessed-sounding psychedelic-pop masterpiece "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea." That album set trends that played out over an entire generation of indie rock — epic horn arrangements and involved poetry among them. News of Mangum's show has generated so much excitement, a second show has been added. Mangum performs at 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle; $32.50 (877-784-4849 or www.stgpresents.org).
