"Purchased the place card after ordering the rehearsal dinner invitations in the same design. Was so pleased with the invitations (first time order), decided to order the matching place cards. Standard paper is of excellent quality and color vibrant. Very impressed with their quick delivery. Example on website does not do justice to the beautiful finished product."
"I removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"Designers were very helpful! Willing to add family passage to the back of our place cards and very fast delivery. Highly recommend!"
"These place cards turned out just as we expected. We love the color, paper quality and overall design. We can't wait to use them for our upcoming wedding! Thanks Wedding Paper Divas!!!!"

Roseola is an infection characterized by a sudden onset of high fever followed by a rash. The infection usually ends on its own without complications.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Roseola is usually caused by specific herpes viruses. These viruses are different than the herpes viruses that cause cold sores or genital herpes .
Risk Factors
Roseola is more common in children aged 6 months to 3 years old (6-15 months old is most common), and during the spring and fall months. Contact with an infected child is rarely reported.
Roseola may cause:
- 103°F to 105°F
- Begins suddenly and is not associated with other symptoms
- Lasts 3 days, sometimes 1-2 days longer
- Convulsions may occur in association with high fever in up to 5% to 10% of children
A rash that develops 12-24 hours after the fever
- Appears on the chest and abdomen first
- Rose-colored
- May spread to arms, legs, neck, and face
- Lasts for a few hours to a few days and does not itch
Other symptoms or signs may include:
- Swelling of lymph nodes in the neck and behind the ears
- Irritability
- Poor appetite
- Upper respiratory tract infection symptoms that may occur before the fever
The appearance of a rash after the fever disappears is the characteristic sign of roseola.
The doctor will ask about symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Usually other tests are not needed. Often, there is a history of other children with roseola in the community.
No treatment is needed for roseola unless the child has a weakened immune system. The most important treatment is to keep the fever lower and drink plenty of fluids.
Talk to the doctor about how to bring the fever down through:
- Medications, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen
- Dressing your child lightly
- Plenty of fluids
- Note : Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Call your doctor if your child has a seizure and/or the fever persists.
To help prevent the spread of roseola, avoid contact with an infected child when possible. The incubation period is 5-15 days. The virus is thought to be spread by contact with infected saliva. Carefully and frequently wash your hands to help prevent the spread of roseola.

On April 23, 2007, the Solar Cooking Wiki changed its name to the Solar Cooking Archive Wiki to emphasize the close relationship between the wiki and the Solar Cooking Archive. Then in 2013, the was name changed to the Solar Cookers International Network to clarify the relationship between Solar Cookers International (the sponsor of the Network) and the Network members.
In 1995, Tom Sponheim, a volunteer for SCI, created the Solar Cooking Archive. Tom maintained the site for the next 10 years on a volunteer basis. While he worked closely with Solar Cookers International, Tom funded and provided most of the editorial direction of the archive himself.
In the meantime, SCI created a site that covered its organizational structure and solar cooking activities: http://solarcookers.org.
During the early years of the Solar Cooking Archive, Tom gathered information on solar cooking and collected it in one place (hence the name Solar Cooking Archive). Over the years, more and more solar cooking enthusiasts submitted plans and other materials for posting in the archive. Volunteers from around the world translated some of the documents into other languages.
At the Granada solar cooking conference in July 2006, it became apparent that there was a great need for conference participants (and others) to stay in close communication after the conference. Tom gave a short presentation at the conference on ways the Solar Cooking Archive could be enhanced to support more two-way communication, including making some pages wiki-based. Tom had done some work on the Wikipedia encyclopedia project, but he had never thought about how wiki technology could be used to enhance the archive until the idea was suggested to him by volunteer Beth Ogilvie, now an administrator on this wiki. The Solar Cooking Archive had never had pages dedicated to each country where solar cooking was taking place. Nor did it have pages for each NGO or individual. If we were going to add such pages, it made sense to make them wiki-based so SCI didn't become an information bottleneck and so others could add their own information.
The first thing Tom did on his return from Spain was invested whether to host the wiki pages in the archive or use a hosting service. It was decided to use Wikia as the host. Wikia takes care of server maintenance, backup, vandalism protection, etc., leaving SCI staff and volunteers free to concentrate on the content.
The Solar Cooking [Archive] Wiki grew quickly to almost 600 topics. Many people from around the world made contributions, and we hope more people will realize how easy it is to edit a wiki page. Vandalism has been minimal.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/3/2013 (1612 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When Lisa Dyck started making ice cream, she made sure to cover all the basic flavours: chocolate, vanilla and beer.
Malty ale is one of the first three flavours to wind up in pails of Cornell Creme, a new brand of handcrafted ice cream produced by Dyck in small batches in Winnipeg.
The second-generation dairy farmer is the latest Manitoba entrepreneur to take advantage of the growing demand for locally produced artisanal food. While Winnipeg does have independent, high-quality gelato producers, Eva's and Nucci's among them, the local market is largely devoid of artisanal ice cream.
"If you look around at all the ice-cream shops, they just buy commercial product," she said, referring to the majority of parlours. "Why as dairy producers do we not have a handle on the ice-cream market?"
The high cost of acquiring milk and cream likely dissuades other potential ice-cream producers, Dyck theorizes. "The reason it works for me is because I own a dairy and we use our own milk," she said, qualifying that statement by noting everything produced by the family farm, Cornell Dairy, winds up in the local pool.
She purchases milk back from the pool and then goes to work in agricultural-lab space at the University of Manitoba. Her ice cream has only five ingredients: cream, eggs, milk, sugar and natural flavourings such as vanilla beans, chocolate and yes, beer.
She describes the resulting product as premium ice cream, which contains much less air than commercially made "frozen dairy products" as well as most mass-produced real ice cream.
"It is a little like Häagen-Dazs in that it does freeze up a little bit," she said. The upside is a richer, more intense flavour than you get from frozen products that often contain more water and air than milk or cream, she said.
Right now, Dyck is producing about 50 litres a week of Cornell Creme, which is sold at a small number of Winnipeg restaurants, including Billabong in Osborne Village. Within weeks, it will be on shelves at Zesto's, a sandwich-wrap chain, and other retailers, she said.
"I'm constantly being approached by stores to carry it. But whether I go there depends on how I price it and if the public responds to it," she said, noting premium ice cream comes with a premium price tag. "What I would like to do is jump into this full-time."
If Dyck makes that leap, she would become the first Manitoba dairy farmer to do so in decades. "Nobody can remember an independent ice-cream maker in this province," said Teresa Ciccarelli, spokeswoman for the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba.
The move would also make an entrepreneurial statement in the industry, as the number of dairy farms has been dropping in Manitoba, from 474 in 2006 to 328 this year.
Dyck also is the only Manitoba dairy farmer who's both a producer and a processor, albeit a small one. One of the advantages of working on an artisanal scale, she said, is the freedom to choose any flavour she desires, including, for the commercial launch phase, beer.
"The response to it has been phenomenal," she said. "The taste is there. I just have to reduce it, to get the alcohol out and concentrate the flavour."

Silver Stars PG Robinson evolves quickly into role
Updated 10:22 pm, Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Danielle Robinson insists she hasn't changed much the past year.
And based simply on appearances, she really hasn't. Save for the dreadlocks that were sheared a few weeks ago, Robinson looks pretty much as she did when the Silver Stars selected her out of Oklahoma with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft.
But make no mistake, Robinson is different. She knows it. Her coach and teammates do as well.
That difference has helped Robinson emerge as one of the league's rising point guards — and could be crucial if the Silver Stars are to advance past the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
The Silver Stars (21-13) play at the Los Angeles Sparks (24-10) in Game 1 of a Western Conference semifinal series at 9 tonight at Southern Cal's Galen Center.
"She's always been extremely bright, but what she's starting to do now, I think, is understand mature basketball," Silver Stars coach Dan Hughes said of the 5-foot-9 Robinson. "The thing I appreciate about 'D-Rob' is she's got to be as fast with the basketball as anybody in the league, yet she is efficient with the basketball. Sometimes you don't combine those things. Even though she's fast, she doesn't play out of control very often.
Sports Channel
"I think she's moving into that next level of point guards in this league."
A year ago, Robinson admits such a declaration might not have been entirely true. She endured the ebbs and flows like any rookie.
"It was tough, just coming into a new system and having to pick it up so quickly," Robinson said of her first season. "The second year, you know what to expect. You know what the system is, and you know how to run a team better.
"Confidence is the biggest thing. The team is feeding off my energy. If I look down, or not confident, then they don't want the ball in my hands."
This season, especially of late, the Silver Stars definitely want the ball in Robinson's hands. She is averaging 9.9 points and 4.3 assists and is shooting 54.1 percent, second on the team behind center Jayne Appel. In 2011, she averaged 8.2 points and 3.9 assists and shot 46 percent.
"She obviously has become a really big piece for us," Silver Stars guard Becky Hammon said. "There's nobody in the league that can keep her from getting to her spot; she's too fast. Now, she's becoming smart and fast. It's a really good combination.
"Last year, I saw her get in the lane a lot. This year, I can see her getting in the lane and finishing a lot, which is a big difference. Her touch and her finishing ability have just brought her game to another level. That's a credit to her and her hard work."
Robinson's transformation benefited largely from playing in Israel during the offseason. She averaged 16.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.9 steals in only 20 games.
"I think that (playing) overseas helps," she said. "All the time that you have by yourself to get stronger, I attribute it to all of that."
But Hughes says Robinson deserves much of the credit for her vast improvement.
"What Danielle Robinson is, is an extremely hard-working player on a daily basis," Hughes said. "What Danielle Robinson is, is a smart basketball player. And what Danielle Robinson is, is persistent. If she doesn't have a good game, she isn't going to fall away. She really wants to be an elite point guard in the world. Every day at work, to her, is a chance for her to get closer to that."

PART of a landmark former pub was destroyed when a suspicious blaze tore through it.
Firefighters went to the Bull and Butcher in Manchester Road, Burnley, which has been closed for several years, after reports the wooden extension at the back was in flames.
They received the call about 2.30am on Saturday and crews from Blackburn, Accrington and Burnley spent around an hour bringing the fire under control.
The extension was razed to the ground but the pub was only slightly damaged.
The team finally left the scene at around 6am after damping the area down and carrying out an investigation.
Plans to turn the building into an Italian restaurant and build 10 homes on the site were rejected by the council last year.
Coun Shah Hussain, executive member for regeneration and economic development at Burnley Council, called for the owner of the building to meet planners and discuss what can be done with it.
He said: "I want to see the building back in use. It was a popular restaurant and pub for some time. It's a real shame how the recession has hit businesses. The owner should sit down with planning officers and have a chat to see what can be done with the building."
Developers the Lugano Group, based in Preston, were refused permission in October with planners saying the site was outside the urban boundary and citing concerns that residents would be disturbed by noise.
The applicant said: "The building is unused and is becoming increasingly dilapidated.
"Unless some positive use is found for the building, and its surroundings, it will continue to deteriorate, creating a very negative impression upon approaching Burnley."
The last tenant there was the Indian restaurant Ashoka before it closed in 2010.
Crew manager Simon Wright said: "We are investigating how the fire started but the police have been informed and we are looking at the possibility it was deliberate."
Nobody from Lugano or Punch Taverns, which owns the building according to the council planning papers, was available to comment yesterday.

Greetings from an A&P parking lot! I am coming to you through the courtesy of the chain's WiFi signal. Hope some of you, at least, have more power than I do, currently. It's a low bar to clear.
In Mets news, the team exercised options on both David Wright and R.A. Dickey. This would have been a catastrophic mistake otherwise; the team can certainly trade them both if they choose, rather than let them go for nothing. (Like some shortstops we knew.)
Whether they extend them both, trade them both, or keep only Wright all appear to be possibilities. No reports have them close to a deal with Wright, but the sides are negotiating; right now, there's no movement being reported on Dickey at all.
Obviously, as this develops, I'll be keeping you up to date.
In the meantime, power permitting, we'll be discussing some of the other Mets' potential targets. Miguel Olivo, Melky Cabrera… think 99 cent store.
And yes, David Wright should have won a Gold Glove last night. But are you surprised that a fielding metric that consistently rewards Derek Jeter might have some bugs in it?

- Located in St. Cloud, MN
- PhD in Philosophy (U of MN, 2004), emphasis in ethical theory
- Former member of Campus Atheists and Secular Humanists (U of MN), Minnesota Atheists
- Previously taught philosophy at several Minnesota community colleges and the University of Minnesota
- Author of several peer-reviewed articles and international conference presentations on ethics

Scott has been working for several years on the problem of explaining and justifying ethical claims. His goal is to show that many common theories of ethics, including social-functional theories, intuitionistic, egoistic, and relativist/subjectivist views, as well as religious views like the divine command and natural law theories, are both inadequate and provably false. He argues instead that ethics is based in reason, and that it is provably irrational to act in unethical ways, which explains the universality of our conscience (the rational part of our judging capacity). These arguments can clarify the nature of ethical truth, giving secularists increased confidence in their moral judgments, and better arguments against those who would impose their own arbitrary moral judgments on others in the name of religion. Since one argument for God's existence is that this is necessary to explain objective moral truth, demonstrating that moral truth does not and never has relied upon religious beliefs takes away an important pillar of religious belief.

MANILA, Philippines — Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official said Monday.
Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts ensnared the 21-foot male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a three-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts.
Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.
He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in western Palawan province.
"We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers," Elorde told The Associated Press by telephone. "When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes."
After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed. They then used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said.
About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds, from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck, he said.
The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southeast of Manila, Elorde said.
"It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset."

So you liked the Paul Harvey-narrated video that aired during the Super Bowl – So God Made a Farmer? Made you feel good to be involved with agriculture – even if the moment was fleeting.
Rejoice! There is a new video circling the Internet, one that promises to hold a nation's attention span longer than 15 minutes because the content is more than just some warm fuzzy about salt-of-the-Earth folks who produce food. This new video is about solutions – and about dispelling some exaggerated myths about livestock production.
The star of this new video is Allan Savory, a soft-spoken Zimbabwean biologist, farmer and environmentalist who has spent a lifetime studying and practicing techniques that combat desertification around the globe. In fact, he's built a career and a business challenging what many consider facts about livestock – that they're bad for the planet and contribute to climate change.
On the contrary, Savory says, livestock are a solution to climate change and an effective means by which to fight hunger, poverty and violence across much of the Third World.
Savory's speech was presented at the 2013 TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Conference, a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate "ideas worth spreading." Founded in 1984, TED now sponsors an annual conference in which speakers are given 18 minutes to address a wide range of topics within the research and practice of science and culture. Past presenters include Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Malcolm Gladwell, Gordon Brown and many Nobel Prize winners.
Savory's idea "worth spreading" is that removing grazing animals from an ecosystem promotes desertification. Indeed, he argues, the cause of desertification is the absence of grazing animals. To heal the land and slow climate change, he says, grazing animals must be returned to areas in peril of desertification, which may include two-thirds of the world's grasslands.
Those ideas are not just a hunch, an unproven theory that Savory promotes. He has proof, compiled over a lifetime of study and practice. You have to watch the video to fully comprehend this powerful message.
Savory began working on desertification in his native Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1955. He is credited with developing Holistic Management, a systems thinking approach to managing resources that builds biodiversity, improves production, generates financail strength, enhances sustainability, and improves the quality of life for those who use it. Holistic management offers a new decision-making framework that managers in a variety of enterprises, cultures, and countries are using to help ensure that the decisions they take are economically, socially, and environmentally sound, simultaneously—both short and long term.
In 1992, Savory created the Savory Institute that works globally with individuals, government agencies, NGOs and corporations to restore the vast grasslands of the world through the teaching and practice of holistic management and Holistic Decision Making. The Institute's Consulting and Training activities are turning deserts into thriving grasslands, restoring biodiversity, bringing streams, rivers and water sources back to life, combating poverty and hunger, and increasing sustainable food production, all while mitigating global climate change through carbon sequestration. In 2010 Savory and the Africa Center for Holistic Management won The Buckminster Fuller Challenge. In a 2012 address to the International Union for Conservation of Nature World Conservation Congress, on the urgent need to bring agriculture and conservation back together, Prince Charles lauded Savory's nature based approach.
Currently, thousands of families, corporations and businesses are using the holistic management framework developed by Savory to radically improve the quality of their lives and regenerate the resource base that sustains them.

Island Garden Long Key Natural Center
Artist Lorna Jordans architectural sculpture artwork Island Garden was completed in August at Long Key Nature Center and Natural Area in Davie. Jordan incorporated a broad range of elements, including pavilions, bridges, gathering spaces, towers, pathways, art elements around the site, gardens and water features. Approximately 120 feet long by 88 feet wide, Island Gardens visual interpretation is reminiscent of patterns in nature such as spirals, branches and partitions.
This artwork is consistent with the Broward County Park Bond Master Plan - Theatre of Regeneration: towards an aesthetic of layers, loops and lenses, a 20-year plan for parks and natural areas in Broward County. Jordans brilliant art master plan included layers of meaning, loops of physical and process-based connections and lenses of jewel-like artworks, performances and activities - with a particular focus on watersheds, the natural infrastructure of creeks, rivers, wetlands, ponds and estuaries.
Artist Michele Oka Doner Installs Artwork at Port Everglades, Terminal 18
Artist Michele Oka Doners artwork Forces of Nature: Trade Winds & Ocean is located on the main floor of Terminal 18 in Port Everglades. Passengers embarking on cruises will experience the artwork at close range, while early arriving passengers seated in the mezzanine waiting area can enjoy looking down on it. Bronze inlays celebrate the diversity of seeds and pods that drift far and wide on ocean currents to wash up on South Florida shores. A large bronze globe sculpture anchors the other end of the design and swirling aggregates such as mother-of-pearl stand out in sparkling contrast to the dark green and blue terrazzo matrix.
Forces of Nature
The composition in the floor consists of two arenas of focus. In the wider section of the footprintloor, an 8-foot diameter globe in cast bronze is depicted in a spinning manner. The globe is energized with crisscrossed longitudinal and latitudinal lines. Enhancing the movement are great sweeps of iridescent mother-of-pearl, simulating the trade winds that circle the earth. The mother-of-pearl aggregates vary in color white to pink and silver - scale and proportion, adding a kind of cosmic delight.
In the narrower portion of the floor, swirls of aggregates representing ocean currents pick up the sense of motion begun by the spinning globe., carried by the winds and resulting in a wave-like pattern. Consecutive wavy lines, executed in exquisite aggregate, delineate a new region, approximately 25 feet in dimension. This area contains the seedbed of more than approximately 175-25025 units depicted in cast bronze. The forms are drawn from actual seeds from the multitude that are known to drift far and wide in the currents. The seeds vary in scale from 6 inches to 20 inches and reveal textures, patterns and shapes of exceptional variety.
The composition in its entirety is buoyant and dramatic, a work of art that speaks of travel by wind, currents and ultimately boarding the ship. The opening of Passenger Terminal 18 makes Fort Lauderdale accessible to the largest ocean liner in the world, Oasis of the Seas; the terminal will now become the largest single-ship cruise terminal in the world.
Our countys wide array of public art is the focus of a new exhibition, Natural Forces: Broward County Public Art & Design 06 - 09. The show is a compilation of completed public art projects by national and internationally renowned artists who were selected and commissioned to create public art through the Broward Cultural Divisions Public Art & Design Program. Included are drawings, models and other preparatory works done for these commissions, which reveal important aspects of the creative process. Video documentaries and photographs highlight how these large-scale artworks connect with the public and vice versa.
Natural Forces showcases an extensive mixture of artistic expression, with nature at the center. It is a culmination of creative minds focused on the future by bringing awareness and art into the present - the light on water at sunset; the refraction of color through glass that forms waves; words engraved into stone.
Many of the artworks were designed within the portfolio of the Park Bond Master Plan and Library Bond Master Plan. The Park Bond Master Plan was authored by environmental artist Lorna Jordan and her design team. Jordan, concerned with the artistic expression of contemporary places with a particular focus on watershed, explored the relationships between natural infrastructure of creeks, rivers, wetlands, ponds and estuaries and the urban infrastructure. The Library Bond passed in 1999 when voters of Broward County approved a bond issue to provide financing to renovate existing libraries and build new ones. Artists were commissioned within this portfolio.
The exhibit opened September 4 and will run through November 1 at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, located at 1650 Harrison St. in Hollywood, It will continue from JanuaryMarch 4 through April 24, 2010 at the Coral Springs Museum of Art, 2855 Coral Springs Dr., in Coral Springs.
Michelle Guarinos Artwork Featured at Lee Wagener Art Gallery
The Broward County Cultural Divisions Public Art and Design Program is presenting Kinetic Energy, an exhibition by Broward-based artist Michelle Guarino, at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The exhibition in the Lee Wagener Art Gallery, Terminal 2, Departure Level, runs for four months.
A contemporary photographic artist, Michele Guarino was exposed introduced to art at an early age while traveling through Europe. Her formal training includes studies at the New School of Social Research in New York City, the Southeast Center for Photo/Graphics and the University of Miami. Her photography is exhibited widely in Florida and she has won numerous awards.
After the death of her mother in 2004, Guarino found great inspiration in nature and continues to explore the relationship between life, light and color. Believing that water is among our most valued resources and a gift of life, she notes that water is the foundation of all human existence, important enough to sustain life yet deadly enough to extinguish it! Delicate enough to bend light rays into a magnificent rainbow yet powerful enough to carve deep massive canyons in solid rock. With the transmission of water in its multiple forms, it tends to govern all of the energy and movement we experience. It stores enough fuel (hHydrogen) to supply the Earth's energy needs for thousands of years yet is gentle enough to wash a new born baby. The artworks Singular Element, Private Island and Closely Connected will be shown at the Lee Wagener Art Gallery.
The Lee Wagener Art Gallery offers Broward County artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a prominent, pre-security, high-traffic area in Terminal 2 of the airport departure level that is accessible to the public. Artists are selected through the Public Art &and Design Program and exhibits are changed every four months. The far end of the gallery has been reserved for the exhibition of video artworks from Broward Countys permanent art collection. At present, Tree Rain, by Broward-based artists Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov, has been installed as the permanent video artwork.

A 'COWARD' launched a racial attack in a nightclub on a man he claimed bullied him years ago at school.
Binge drinker James Coole, 23, left victim Saqab Javed with a broken knuckle on his right little finger after he delivered a blow from behind as Mr Javed was in the toilets at Baileys in Accrington.
Coole, who had downed 15 vodka mixers on April 1 last year, also hurled racial abuse.
He could not explain why he did what he did when he was arrested and claimed he knew 'in his heart of hearts' that he would not racially assault anybody.
Burnley Crown Court was told how Mr Javed had been forced to give up boxing for fun because of his injury and needed time off work as he was in a plaster cast.
Coole, of Duke Street, Oswaldtwistle, said to 'work in schools', admitted racially aggravated assault causing actual bodily harm.
The defendant, who had no previous convictions, was given a community order with six months' supervision and 140 hours' unpaid work and must pay £750 compensation and £250 costs. Mark Savill, prosecuting, said Mr Javed felt a thud to the back of his head.
He stumbled forward quite sharply and put his arms out to stop himself falling.
The victim spun round and saw the defendant, who raised his fist as if he was going to punch him.
Mr Javed put his hands up to protect himself, three companions of Coole told him to stop it, but he told the victim: 'Come on, you used to be cocky at school.' Mr Javed left and saw Coole staring at him, trying to intimidate him. He went to hospital the next day and underwent surgery.
The victim also suffered cuts to his hand and a lump to his head.
Mr Savill added: "The prosecution do not accept any behaviour at any time that justified this assault upon the complainant."
David Ryan, for Coole, said he wished to apologise publicly for his actions and he had not intended to cause the serious injury.
He said: "He did what he did because it brought back memories from years of bullying at the hands of this victim and his associates."
Sentencing, Judge Simon Newell said there was no suggestion the bullying involved Mr Javed.
He said: "What had gone on at school should have stayed at school."
The judge, who said that Coole had been a coward to attack the victim from behind, said: "Whatever racial background there was to this cannot and must not persist.
"We live in a mixed community and everybody has to be protected from abuse."


text: Culture 29 April 2013 When the NS met Malcolm X 12 June 1964. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML At the recent New Statesman debate on the motion "Did the Left Win the 20th Century", one of the strongest arguments in favour was the improvement in global race relations. 50 years ago Brian Glanville interviewed Malcolm X shortly before his assassination in 1965. The article was written three months after his exclusion from the Nation of Islam and his founding of the Muslim Mosque Inc. Malcolm had recently returned from Mecca and was rethinking many of his views and the direction of his racial relations campaigns. Having become a Sunni Muslim and distanced himself from many of his earlier standpoints, Malcolm toned down his aggression, but not his passion. He focused less on racism and black supremacy and more on equal rights from a Pan-African standpoint. He also became more willing to give interviews and work with other civil rights movements and leaders. In april 1964, two months before the article below was published, Malcolm gave his famous "Ballot or the Bullet" speech, in which he urged all African-Americans to exercise their right to vote. They should tone down the violence, but not forget it was an option should their rights be ignored in the future. Along with Martin Luther King Jr, whom Malcolm met briefly only once, their speeches in the early 60s became one of the turning points in global race relations. Half a year after this article was published, Malcolm X was assassinated by members of the Nation of Islam. Introduction by Christian Jensen Malcolm X "I don't think we're outnumbered. We're part of the Afro-Asian world, and that means that we're in the majority. White America is in the minority." The speaker was Malcolm X, the most powerful and eloquent figure in the American 'Black Muslim' movement. The origins of the movement are a little obscure. Probably it began in Detroit some 30 years ago, founded by a man called Wallace Fard about whom very little is known. His followers were poor, humble and largely illiterate. Not long ago, a Hearst newspaper carried the story that Fard was actually a white man, an allegation strongly denied by Elijah Muhammad, the sanctioned leader of the Muslims, who offered a large reward to anybody who could prove that Fard was white. The question, "Why Muslims?" is one which Malcolm X-brushes quickly aside. "Our people are from Nigeria and Ghana. They tell us we're from West Africa, and I think historically that's sound doctrine. The Mali empire stretched through Ghana, Guinea, Senegal." When the Negroes were imported as slaves, he believes, they "had to be cut off from Islam; Islam does not say turn the other cheek; it says fight those who fight you. If you turn the other cheek, you can be enslaved for 1,000 years." One can quarrel with his analysis here; white American motives for weaning their Negroes from Islam — if they did — were probably less devious and more evangelic. What the embracing of Islam does represent is a deliberate taking of position against Christianity as a white religion, which has been used to seduce and exploit the Negro. Malcolm X talks of Christianity with hatred. "I went to prison" (he served a seven-year term, during which he was converted to Islam) "as a Christian. and while I was a Christian, I did what most Christians in this country do. Which means I engaged in many vices. That's the Christian way. Christians are drunk. Christians are dope addicts. Christians rob banks. In fact you ask any drunk, 'What are you?' 'I'm a Christian?' When you find him robbing a bank, 'What are you?' 'I'm a Christian.' But when I became a Muslim, I put that life behind me." Elijah Muhammad, the father of the movement, with whom Malcolm X has now effectively split, was born Elijah Poole in Georgia, 67 years ago. The story goes that the 'prophet' who appeared in Detroit — presumably Fard — appointed Elijah his Messenger. At the time he was without formal education, the son of a Baptist minister, who had little to recommend him but his dynamism. It was not until the Fifties, and the national growth of the civil rights movement for Negroes, that the Muslim religion began to flourish. Muhammad ran it in authoritarian manner with his sons and his son-in-law as his deputies. The doctrine preached was one of absolute separation between the races. If white wanted nothing to do with black, here was black saying it wanted nothing to do with white; merely the right to set up its own autonomous state within America. Given the structure of the movement, it was perhaps inevitable that the rise of a forceful young leader outside the family circle of the Muhammads would lead to tension. Malcolm Little, otherwise Malcolm X, a tall, dignified, handsome Negro, born 38 years ago in Omaha, Nebraska, grew quickly in power and popularity. He might profess the doctrine of separatism, but there was no doubt that he could meet the white man on his own ground, and, with his lucid eloquence, fascinate him as well as frighten him. After the murder of Kennedy, a tactless statement about chickens having come home to roost gave Muhammad the opportunity to ban Malcolm from public speaking. Malcolm proceeded to form, in New York, his splinter group, the Muslim Mosque Incorporated, and to trot around with him his own particular trump card and convert, the heavyweight champion, Cassius Clay. "When we say South," says Malcolm X, "we mean south of the Canadian border. America in its entirety is segregationist and is racist. It's more camouflaged in the north, but it's the same thing." His bitterness is not difficult to understand. When he was a child, his father died in ambiguous circumstances. "They found him one night underneath a street car, dying. They called it an accident, but he was run over by the rear wheels of a street car, which means he was thrown under after the front wheels went by. This wasn't in the South. This was in Michigan." Malcolm X has taken up his headquarters in Harlem's Theresa Hotel, where Joe Louis used to stay after his fights and where Cassius Clay stays now, making periodic excursions to the street, to be acclaimed by his joyful admirers. The heavy, painted glass doors of the Muslims' offices are inscribed Eve Nelson Cosmetics. Inside, several Negroes work diligently at a table in a long, light room, with green and white checked linoleum. Their courtesy, in a country where courtesy is so often the thin shell over violence, is immense. On a green, slatted blackboard, words are chalked up, as if in some strange free association: Fuzzy Wuzzy . . . Office schedule . . . Physical fit. . . There is a tide . . . Cowards die many . . . Red letter.. Eyes of the world on you. The question of violence, how far the movement's aims make it inevitable, is one which increasingly perturbs white Americans. "All I've said," explains Malcolm, "is that if the government is unable or unwilling to defend Negroes, Negroes should defend themselves by whatever means are necessary. If it's lawful to have a rifle club to kill pheasants, it should be just as lawful to have one to kill wolves or dogs that are being sicked on little black babies. In fact it's constitutional. Article Number Two of the constitution" — he takes a handbook out of his inside pocket — "guarantees the right of every citizen to own a rifle or a shot gun." 'We're not opposed to violence, we're opposed to brutality. We're opposed to being the victims of violence. Non-violence didn't even work in India. The Indians are still subservient to the West, whereas the Chinese aren't. I think India and China are the two best examples we can look to, to see the result of these so-called negotiated freedoms. The people of India have gone from physical colonialism to economic colonialism." As for the American Negro, "we're just as thoroughly colonialised as Angola, Mozambique. This is not a democracy. I don't think any man has exploited, has oppressed and degraded, just based on the colour of another man's skin, as western man has done. And the American segment of western man has done it more evilly than any other man, because they've done it hypocritically. They've condemned the colonial practices of the western European nations, while they're practising colonialism here. Texas is the same as Mississippi, and that's the state from which the present President comes. Now, how can he straighten out the national mess when he can't even straighten out what's going on in his own state?" When he speaks, the pain is evident, almost palpable, the analysis hard to refute. But the solution, the all-Negro state, seems chimerical, mere pie in the sky. Malcolm X won't have it; when Washington began, he says — a little ingenuously — his task seemed harder still, and he accomplished it. One asks him how long he thinks it will take, a decade? And he answers : "There's not a black man in this country will wait a decade to get this problem solved. This generation wants a solution now." But it will clearly take a long time for the Black Muslims to organise; even those sympathetic to them feel that their cohorts are at best disciplined, rather than trained. Nor is their fundamentalism, their aggressive brand of Islam, carrying the intellectuals; the Baldwins and the Ellisons, men too sophisticated for such easy dichotomies. This is not to say that they are not sympathetic. When I spoke to James Baldwin — that tiny, endearing figure, now as hotly besieged as any film star, he showed this clearly. "It's impossible to argue with facts. Facts are facts. But obviously I'm not going to teach my children or anybody I know that they're better because they're black; it seems to me it's a repetition, let's say, of the whole doctrine of white supremacy." He feels, though, that "this is the first time in the history of this country where people . . . are forced to recognise some of the facts of Negro life. It's no longer possible for them to contain it and pretend it isn't true. A man like Malcolm X has this utility, that he frightens people so much that finally they'd rather talk even to me than to him." As for the labelling of the Black Muslims as extremists, "there's no great hue and cry as far as I know, calling some of the Senator Eastlands extremists. What they mean is that Malcolm is an extremist because he makes them uncomfortable and because he argues that not all Negroes are non-violent, which happens to be true." Indeed, a point which has been widely made is that the rousing of the Negro masses must inevitably lead to violence, precisely because protest action so far has been largely in the hands of those diligently trained in nonviolence. "There's another point which is very important," Baldwin continued. "We are one tenth, and it is true that we couldn't hope to win let's call it a shooting war, but it is also true that we're very well placed to bring this economy to its knees." Where Baldwin and the Muslims differ most profoundly is in the concept of difference through race. "As long as you think people are white or black," said Baldwin, "you fall into the same traps. I'm not a Negro, I'm a man." To which Malcolm X replies, "I don't have to say I'm a man; my actions will speak for me; and if my behaviour doesn't reflect masculinity, then I shouldn't seek to be referred to as a man. And in America the Negro has been robbed of his masculinity and he doesn't get it back by saying 'I'm a man'; he gets it back by deeds. To say 'I'm a man' is not sufficient." › All Tomorrow's Parties is no more Malcolm X in Oxford before addressing university students on the subject of extremism and liberty.

Tom Daley and James Denny came agonisingly close to Commonwealth Games gold in the men's synchronised 10m platform on Friday evening after a near-perfect final dive which left them settling for silver.
As there were only four pairs in the competition, just two medals were awarded at Edinburgh's Royal Commonwealth Pool and the English duo, a new partnership, had looked out of contention entering the sixth dive.
Daley and Denny had just seven days of training together after deciding to enter last week and the 20-year-old duo finished with a forward four-and-a-half somersault which scored 95.46 to record a total of 399.36.
Australia's Matthew Mitcham and Domonic Bedggood held their nerve to win by 0.18 with a total of 399.54.
Malaysia's Ooi Tze Liang and Chew Yiwei were third but missed out on a podium place.
Competition was taking place in front of Scotland's first minister Alex Salmond, with Daley using a Union Flag chamois to towel himself down between dives.
Daley won the event in Delhi with Max Brick, when only four entrants meant just two medals were awarded.
This time Daley was in a new pairing.
The London 2012 bronze medallist and Denny were fourth after the first two dives, but a score of 73.92 for an inward three-and-a-half somersault half twist saw them promoted to third.
At the halfway point in proceedings, with the English pair preparing for their fourth plunge off the top platform, the event announcer reminded the crowd that only two medals would be awarded and Denny over-rotated at entry.
The English duo slipped to fourth ahead of the final round, but nailed their final dive, a forward four-and-a-half somersault, and were rewarded accordingly by the judges, who handed them an event high 95.46.
Mitcham and Bedggood scored 88.56 with their final dive - a back two-and-a-half somersault two-and-a-half twists - to move ahead of the English duo with two dives to go.
The Malaysian pair could not better their rivals, meaning only Canada could displace Australia and England from the podium, but they failed to do so.
It was Mitcham's first Commonwealth gold medal.
Daley's defence of the individual 10m platform title he won in Delhi in 2010 takes place on Saturday's final day of diving competition.
Jack Laugher and Chris Mears earlier won the men's three-metres springboard for England.
Laugher, the one-metre springboard individual champion on Wednesday and silver medallist in the three-metres individual event on Thursday, and Mears finished with a total of 431.94 to triumph.
Mitcham and Grant Nel took silver for Australia with 403.14.
A second English pair reached the podium as Nick Robinson-Baker and Freddie Woodward claimed bronze with 364.41.
Grace Reid came agonisingly close to Scotland's first Commonwealth Games diving medal in 56 years in the women's one-metre springboard final, but finished fifth.
The 18-year-old, diving in her home pool, was in silver medal position entering the final round, but finished with a total of 269.40 as Canada's Jennifer Abel won with a score of 287.25.
Reid was hoping to become Scotland's second diving medallist, after Sir Peter Heatly, who is now 90 and won the last of his five medals in Cardiff in 1958.
Heatly watched his grandson James dive in the Royal Commonwealth Pool earlier this week.

Christie Gets Saturday Night Live Treatment Over Sandy [VIDEO]
Governor Chris Christie got the Saturday Night Live treatment in an opening sketch about Hurricane Sandy.
After "Mayor Bloomberg" and his sign language interpreter, in her unique style, updated New York's recovery efforts it was Bobby Moynihan's "Christe's" turn to talk about how New Jersey handled the storm. "We don't get sad in New Jersey, we get even. So sleep with one eye open Sandy" warned the Governor as his interpreter brought her own New Jersey "style" to Christie's words.
The sketch also took on Christie's criticism of Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langsford who undermined Christie's evacuation order. As his interpreter has an "L" on her forehead, Christie said, "You are stupid, silly son of a bitch. You disobey me? You disobey one of my orders? Well screw you, screw your city, screw all the people who listened to you. I'm gonna come rescue you and beat you to death because that's the Jersey way."
His toned softened with thanks for President Obama's handling of the storm but said he was voting for Mitt Romney but said he's "gonna hate it" now.
Christie also told people who are "going through the phone book and threatening people named Sandy" to "cut it out. You're being idiots."

DAVE Turner has hit back at Wootton Bassett boss Jeff Roberts' assertion that Craig Bowden and Liam Edmondson joined Shrivenham for the guarantee of first-team football.
Roberts made the comments in the lead-up to Saturday's derby between the two teams - which Bassett won 2-1 - and Turner revealed his anger at Roberts' words.
Turner, who left Bassett for the Shrivvy hotseat in the summer and has crossed swords with his successor already this season, stated that nobody in his squad had an automatic place in the team.
"There's one thing I would like to say, just to put the record straight," said Turner. "Mr Roberts stated that two players came to me because they were guaranteed first-team football.
"I can assure you that's not why they came to me. They've both been dropped by me before and if they don't perform they'll be dropped again.
"So they're not here because of guaranteed football, they're here because they like the way that we do things to the way they were at their previous club.
"It's a couple of times he (Roberts) has said that now and I'd just like to put the record straight."
Shrivvy travel to Ascot in the Hellenic League Premier Division tomorrow, while Bassett host Flackwell Heath.
Bassett have been given a boost after winger Callum Parsons joined up with the Corinium-based side from Fairford.
"I didn't want him to leave as he's a good member of the squad and well-liked around the club," said Cinder Lane boss Paul Braithwaite.
"It would have been good for him to see out the last eight games to try and be part of our promotion push.
"However, Bassett have offered him some money and that will rise along with what seems like a guaranteed start each game for him. So it makes sense for him to take the step up.
"We all wish him luck and I hope he does well for them, he's a top lad and a good player."

Big Plays Lead to Flames Victory over Panthers
|Walt Aikens recorded one of Liberty's four interceptions during the game against Kentucky Wesleyan.
The Liberty Flames showcased their big play ability throughout the first half, en route to an eventual 73-7 victory over visiting Kentucky Wesleyan, Saturday night at Williams Stadium.
The victory moved the Flames to 3-2 on the season, including a win in each of their first three home games of the year since 2010. The loss keeps Kentucky Wesleyan winless on the 2013 season (0-4) and 0-3 in the overall series with Liberty.
The Flames were the first to post big plays, scoring twice during the game's opening three minutes to take a quick 14-0 lead.
Liberty's initial big play came the first time the Flames' offense touched the football with quarterback Josh Woodrum finding Darrin Peterson open on the far side of the field for a 55-yard touchdown pass 19 seconds into the game.
Liberty's defense forced a three-and-out series on the Kentucky Wesleyan's first offensive series, resulting in a visitor punt. However, Andrew Jauch was able to get behind the line and block Nathan Ballinger's kick.
The junior linebacker then picked up the loose football and returned it 30 yards for a score to give Liberty a two-touchdown lead at the 12:34 mark of the first quarter.
The Panthers' managed to contain Liberty's offense on its next drive, as the Flames had to settle for a 34-yard John Lunsford five minutes later to take a 17-0 lead.
Kentucky Wesleyan showcased their big play ability on its next drive. Dalton Oliver hit Jeff Ward with a deep pass downfield and the halfback was able to score on the 48-yard play to trim Liberty's lead to 10, 17-7, with 5:04 left in the first quarter.
Two sizeable rushes by Desmond Rice (26 yards) and D.J. Abnar (18 yards) set up a repeat play with Woodrum hitting Peterson in stride for a 21-yard touchdown play, pushing Liberty's lead back to 17, 24-7, at the 3:52 mark of the first quarter.
Liberty's defense made its presence known midway through the second quarter with a big play of its own. Cornerback Walt Aikens stepped in front of an Oliver pass over the middle and the senior returned his sixth career interception 45 yards.
On the contest's next play, Rice took a delayed handoff and found a hole up the middle to score from 26 yards and extend Liberty's margin to 24 points, 31-7, at the 9:34 mark of the second quarter.
The game's second interception set up the second-to-last scoring drive of the first half. Kevin Fogg followed his backfield playing partner Aikens, as he intercepted Oliver's deep pass downfield and return it 39 yards for his team-leading eighth career interception.
The Flames' kept the ball on the ground the next four plays with Woodrum handing the ball each time to Abnar. On the fourth carry of the drive, the sophomore was able to leap over the pile and score from two yards out at the 5:00 mark of the second quarter, giving Liberty a 38-7 edge.
Liberty's final big play of the opening 30 minutes of the contest resulted in the first half's final scoring. Oliver was picked off for the third time, as Gary Sampson recorded his first career interception and returned the turnover 31 yards to send Liberty to halftime with a 45-7 lead.
The big play scoring ability of the Flames was evident in the time of possession battle. The Flames managed to score 45 points with only 11:14 of total time of possession.
Liberty did outgained Kentucky Wesleyan, 233 to 157, with the Flames evenly spreading out their offense among it rushing (119 yards) and passing (114 yards) attacks.
Woodrum completed 6-of-11 passing attempts for 114 yards and two touchdown passes. Oliver was 11-of-18 for 136 yards and three first half interceptions.
Peterson caught five of Woodrum's six completions for 86 yards and two touchdown receptions. Keelan Cole was Oliver's top track at four receptions for 47 yards.
Rice and Abnar shared Liberty's rushing duties, with Rice finishing with 61 yards and Abnar gaining 46 yards on the ground. Both running backs scored during the opening 30 minutes.
Following another three-and-out series by Liberty's defense to open the second half, Javan Shashaty look over Liberty's offense and the redshirt freshman took the Flames down the field for the first of four second half scores.
Shashaty completed 4-of-5 pass attempts on the nine-play, 64-yard drive, including a 26-yard screen pass to Rice to push Liberty's lead to 52-7 with 9:33 left in the third quarter.
The remainder of the game allowed for several of Liberty's other players shine, including a pair of touchdown runs by running back Austin Kaigler.
The sophomore's first career touchdown run came with 8:38 left in the game, as he capped off a five-play, 28-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Kaigler matched the one-yard run with the clock winding down, scoring Liberty's final touchdown of the game with 65 second left to play in the contest.
Liberty tied it second most points scored in a game, as the Flames matched their 73-point effort against VMI on Nov. 10, 2007.
Liberty finished the game with 462 total offensive yards, with 241 of the yards coming on the ground and 221 coming via the Flames' passing game.
Kentucky Wesleyan ended the game with 212 total offensive yards with Liberty's defense holding them to 41 rushing yards.
Woodrum's first half stats stood with Shashaty taking all the second half snaps. Shashaty finished the game 7-of-8, including his first career touchdown pass.
Abnar recorded his first career 100-yard effort, carrying the ball 15 times for 108 yards and scoring twice. Rice followed with eighth carries for 63 yards, while Kaigler's career night ended with 15 carries for 54 yards and two scoring runs.
Peterson was Liberty's leading receiver with five first-half receptions for 86 yards and his second two-touchdown game of the year. Jaquan Glover followed with four receptions for a career-best 50 receiving yards.
The Panthers' offense was paced by Oliver, who finished the game 12-of-23 passing for 141 yards and a touchdown pass to Ward, Kentucky Wesleyan's leading receiver (76 yards). Kentucky Wesleyan's limited rushing attack was paced by Ward's seven carries for 26 yards and Devin Le'Gall's 14 rushing attempts for 19 yards.
Liberty's defense forced a season-best four turnovers during the game, all coming as interceptions. The last time the Flames finished a game with four interceptions was when the Flames upended No. 6/8 Stony Brook on Nov. 10, 2012.
The four interceptions all resulted in 30-plus yard returns: Sampson (31 yards), Jimmy O'Grady (33 yards), Fogg (39 yards) and Aikens (45 yards).
The Flames had 29 different players finishing the game with tackles, led by Miles Hunter and Nick Sigmon's five-stop effort.
Kentucky Wesleyan's defense was paced by a 13-tackle game by free safety Cuda Dimmett and a 12-stop game by outside linebacker Cody Mills.
The Flames will play their final game before Big South play starts on Oct. 19 against No. 12/11 Coastal Carolina when Liberty travels to Norfolk, Va., to face Old Dominion, next Saturday.
The matchup between the Monarchs and the Flames will be the first meeting in the series between the Commonwealth opponents. Game time is set for 6 p.m. at Foreman Field at SB Ballard Stadium.

HUNDREDS of people attended services at Tilbury Fort, St Catherine's Church and Coalhouse Fort in East Tilbury to pay their respect to those who lost their lives fighting in World War One.
The great war started 100 years ago on Monday night.
Tilbury Fort was one of the major Thames defences between 1914 and 1918, manned with costal guns and the site of anti-aircraft armaments for combating Zeppelins and bombers.
On Monday, it hosted an event, supported by a £5,500 Heritage Lottery Fund award to Thurrock Council, which marked the centenary with a programme of activities looking at Thurrock's role in the Great War with a special focus on the home front and industries.
Among the attractions were the re-creation of a 1914 trench, artillery, firing of an 18-pounder field gun, a First World War camp and cookhouse, a horse and mules display, knitting comforts for the troops, a pharmacy, a 1914 allotment garden, an armoury with small arms and rifles of the Great War and an artificers' workshop with carpentry and metal work.
The borough's mayor, Steve Liddiard, was in attendance, as were the Thurrock Local History Society and the Tilbury Riverside Project and volunteers who recorded and collected memorabilia as well as family stories.
On Monday evening, deputy mayor, Cllr Sue Gray, was at St Catherine's Church, East Tilbury, and the nearby Coalhouse Fort for the Lights Out commemoration.
It was standing room only at the church for the service before the Last Post was played at the fort.

HOUSTON - Patrols were increased at a Houston-area high school after threats were made Friday.
HISD officials said patrols were increased at Bellaire High School, 5100 Maple St., as a precaution for what was described as a "vague" threat. Any threat is taken seriously, officials said.
Bellaire police said a student told his mother Thursday night that he heard a rumor that someone was going to bring a gun to school. The mother then called police.
On Friday, some parents who heard rumors of a threat of gun violence hurried to the campus to pick up their children.
Arnesia Lewis is a senior at the school. She called her mother so she could go home.
"When I got to school, there were a whole bunch of police cars around and when I went into the cafeteria, everyone was saying there was going to be a shooting. I said, 'I gotta go home. My mom is down the street,'" Lewis said.
The school was not placed on lockdown.
Students said teachers did not allow them to roam the halls, but classes went on as scheduled.
Bellaire High School's principal called parents with the following message.
"The purpose of my call is to let you know that we were made aware of a rumor regarding a possible weapon being brought to campus. Any time we receive this type of information we take it seriously as the safety of our students is paramount."

"My fiancé and I love this product. We had to swap out a photo, and the communication with WPD was easy! There were other places that would print our save-the-date postcards at a lower cost, but we were so pleased with the quality of the cards that it was worth the little bit of extra funding!"
"I was very satisfied with the product I received. The colors were very vibrant and looked just like the photograph. I was able to read everything clearly over the photo and on the back of the card. Would def. recommend using wedding paper divas!!"
"We were very pleased with the quality of the card we received. It looks exactly like it does in the digital proof. The colors are brilliant, and the print quality is very crisp. The standard paper is thick enough to stand up to mailing and display without creasing. The envelopes are smooth and creamy, and take the calligraphy ink very nicely. The printing/shipping was much faster than promised. Strongly recommend."
"I really liked my save the dates from wedding paper divas. The quality was better than I expected. I received many compliments on how nice they looked. WPD provided quick and efficient service, which was great. My order was received about week before what the confirmation had shown. Our photo looked very clear and I was very impressed. I would definitely use WPD again for any future events. They did a wonderful job!!"

England suffered their first loss to a First-Class side since 2006 at the Queenstown Events Centre today - the culprits being the New Zealand XI, who were victors by three wickets.
England declared first thing in the morning to set the hosts 334 to win from 90 overs. It loomed as a difficult task and England for much of the day were on top, but a brilliant unbeaten knock from BJ Watling (89*) secured an unlikely victory.
The NZ XI got off to a strong start with an opening wicket partnership of 56 between Hamish Rutherford (33) and Tom Latham (48), before the former departed in the 14th over.
A tug-of-war like battle ensued, with England capturing key wickets just as the NZ XI began to get on top. However with the loss of Dean Brownlie in the 51st over, the Kiwi side were reduced to 154 for five and were looking very susceptible to a full scale collapse.
However the following partnership between Corey Anderson and BJ Watling steadied the ship somewhat and all of a sudden it was once again all to play for.
Anderson became the aggressor and made a reasonably quick 44. He and Watling put on a crucial 82 for the sixth wicket and restored the local fan's hope of an upset.
Even with the dismissal of Anderson, Watling managed to persist with his natural game and had all the answers to the English bowling attack. Further cameos from the lower-order continued to edge them closer, before a quick-fire 28 from Neil Wagner landed the final blow to send the NZ XI into ecstasy.
Watling finished not out in both innings and had a simply outstanding match, not letting through a single bye either. It was just one positive from a long list which will have the BLACKCAPS excited ahead of the first Test on Wednesday.
It may have just been a warm-up, but it was sure a memorable one.
Day three: Match on knife-edge
It might be listed as a warm-up match, but the game between the New Zealand XI and England at the Queenstown Event Centre heads into the final day with both teams fighting hard for honours.
New Zealand resumed day three at 224 for six and dug in to climb to 349 for eight before they declared 77 behind England's first innings total. Corey Anderson was pivotal in leading them to that total, cracking 67 off 62 balls in smart fashion.
Anderson might have supplied the wiz-bang in the morning session, but BJ Watling played an important anchor role with an unbeaten 66 from 127 balls. He and Neil Wagner then edged ever closer to England's 426, before declaring to give the game every chance of having a result.
The visitors' second effort with the bat was not as convincing as their first, with the NZ XI taking wickets at regular intervals. The dangers of Jonathan Trott (20) and Kevin Pietersen (8) were both negated with little damage and it was only the introduction of Matt Prior (68) which really calmed the ship for England.
His most reliable partner was number ten Graeme Swann, who produced an unbeaten knock of 41 to extend his side's lead and make sure that they would resume tomorrow to add as many runs as possible to their current lead of 333 runs.
Mark Gillespie posed a threat all day with the ball and was rewarded with shining figures of four for 87 from 16 overs. Wagner added two more to his first-inning haul of four, while Carl Cachopa also picked up a couple of key scalps.
The New Zealand XI will be desperate to get that last wicket early tomorrow and begin what is likely to be a very exciting run chase…
Day two: Rutherford leads NZ XI reply
Hamish Rutherford scored 90 on day two of the Four Day warm-up match between New Zealand XI and England, leading the home side to 224 for six at the end of day's play.
After capturing the last three wickets of the day to have England all out for 426, New Zealand began their pursuit well, but were left to regret losing a couple of wickets to give England the upper-hand.
Captain Tom Latham (16) and Rutherford put on 56 for the opening wicket, until the former fell the first ball after lunch when he was trapped in front by Graeme Swann.
Carl Cachopa got off the mark with a six, but was dismissed without adding to the strike, as New Zealand lost a couple of quick wickets to be vulnerable at 94 for three.
Following a direct hit in the field from Kevin Pietersen to dismiss Neil Broom, Dean Brownlie was introduced to the crease and began to wrestle back control. Alongside Rutherford, he took the New Zealand XI through to 170 for three and looked in great touch with some classic strokes.
The latter stages of the afternoon though belonged to the visitors, with Rutherford and Brownlie (63) both dismissed and Jimmy Neesham unable to get off the mark before he too was sent back to the sheds.
Those three wickets leave New Zealand still 52 away from avoiding the follow on – something they'll be desperate to do to try and take the match the full distance.
Broad looked the most dangerous of the bowlers, but only managed the one wicket from his 15 overs for 35 runs, while Swann led with two scalps on the day.
BJ Watling (25*) and Corey Anderson (0*) will resume tomorrow morning at the start of the third day.
Day one: Honours shared on Day One at Queenstown
Jimmy Neesham took four wickets for the New Zealand XI, as England finished 357 for seven on day one of the warm-up match at the Queenstown Event Centre.
Having opted to bowl first, the home side bowled well and held their catches to apply good pressure against a top-class English batting line-up. They didn't have it completely their own way though, with Ian Bell putting on a splendid 127 not out to secure his side will make a respectable first up total.
While opening bowlers Mark Gillespie and Neil Wagner caused some problems early on, it was first-change Neesham who initially broke through with the wicket of Nick Compton (21).
The 22 year-old all-rounder then took two more key scalps in Jonathan Trott (1) and Kevin Pietersen (14), helping reduce England to 98 for three at lunch.
The England middle-order all made starts, but rarely got right on top of the New Zealand side, despite what was turning out to be somewhat of a master-class from Bell. The 32 year-old scored at a reasonable rate without taking huge risks and after 260 minutes brought up his ton off 183 balls.
He began to found the boundary more regularly following the milestone, inflicting some late pain on the NZ XI late in the day's play.
Neesham's figures of four for 65 from 17 overs were the best figures of the day, while Wagner picked up a couple and Carl Cachopa picked up the key wicket of the recently prolific Joe Root (49).
Bell and Stuart Broad (6*) will resume at the crease tomorrow for the start of the 91st over.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Sometimes it just feels like things are finally going your way, even when the deck is stacked against you.
That's the way it felt on Saturday night as the Lions completed a 10-win Sunshine State Conference regular season with a 61-56 win over host Barry University. This victory, the Lions' seventh straight, earned the "feel-good" title because a rowdy Senior Day, pro-Buccaneer crowd and the fact the Lions did not make a basket from the field in the final 6:13 of the game could not take the win away from a determined group of Lions.
"I thought Barry came out in the first half and we did a poor job of keeping them out of the paint," a relieved Head Coach Lance Randall said. "They were a little quicker to the ball (and) beat us on offensive rebounds. They had that energy, that Senior Day energy."
He continued, "The second half we righted the ship. I thought we did a very good job of defending for the first 17 minutes and we stretched the lead (to 52-35). Then (Barry) made their shots, which is what they've been doing (and) it's how they beat Eckerd. But in the end I thought our rebounding was excellent in that second half and our post (players) really jammed up the lane. It was a great team effort as it has been all year. Our guys have really come together and deserved a finish like that and a happy bus ride home."
Saint Leo (16-10, 10-6 SSC) was introduced to an offensive slugfest out of the gates as Barry, riding an emotional high from Senior Day festivities before the game, jumped out to an 11-4 advantage, forcing the Lions' head coach to call a timeout. His team responded by drawing even with the Buccaneers. With made baskets coming at a premium, the scoring really opened up as the half wore down, with each team trading buckets for the final three minutes.
Barry (12-16, 6-10 SSC) would have the final say in the first half as an errant BU trey was corralled by senior Evan White whose layup passed through the iron as time expired, sending Barry into halftime with a 29-27 advantage.
As Coach Randall had said, the Lions came out undaunted in the second half, using a momentum explosion to turn the two-point deficit into a 52-35 lead with just nine minutes left.
What wasn't known at that point was the Lions were building a lead to withhold a furious Buccaneer rally combined with a Saint Leo scoring drought that would work to erode the Lions' lead.
A Tom Neary layup with 6:13 left proved to be the final points the Lions would score until just 23 seconds remained on the clock, and was the final basket of the night from the field for the Green and Gold.
After Neary's basket, the Lions' defense would have to come up big, and with the game on the line that's exactly what happened.
Four consecutive three-pointers without answers from Saint Leo had the Bucs looking at just a two-point deficit with 1:37 left and the crowd rocking. Barry would get no closer as the Lions had hands in the face of every Buccaneers shooter and pulled down every rebound from that point until the final horn.
Left with no choice but to foul after missing a shot to take the lead, Barry watched as the Lions made their free throws to open the margin greater than a single possession, ending any hope of a Buccaneer comeback.
The Lions were led by Trent Thomas, who was 9-for-20 and scored a game-high 20 points. Marcus Ruh was right behind him with 17 points.
Saint Leo returns to campus and prepares to do something it has never done in men's basketball history at the school – host an opening round SSC Tournament game. The Lions finished the regular season as the third-best team in the Sunshine State Conference and, as the no. 3 seed, welcomes no. 6 seed Nova Southeastern into the Bowman Center. The Lions and Sharks will square off for the third time this season on Wednesday evening in a memorable leap-day contest. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Evolution Hoax
Earth's Space Storm Shield
Recent reseach about space reveal new scientific discoveries presenting that our Earth and the universe are created from nothing. New observations from a NASA spacecraft revealed that the Earth's outer athmosphere acts like a heat shield by absorbing energy from space storms.
Scientific observations reveal that a layer in the Earth's outer atmosphere acts like a shield by absorbing energy from space storms which reduces their ability to heat the lower athmosphere. This way this layer fulfills a mission of vital importance for the survival of life on Earth.
However, it imposes a heavy toll for its services by creating a billion-degree cloud of electrified gas, or plasma, that surrounds our planet. The plasma cloud is so ferociously hot, its particles act like radiation, occasionally disrupting satellites in mid to high orbits.
Although past space missions gave provisional evidence for this behavior, IMAGE (NASA's Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration) provides the first global picture of the active role Earth's ionosphere plays in space storms, which is very different from the earlier view that the solar wind itself supplied the energetic particles responsible for these storms.
Space shield in action
The Earth's space storm shield is a tenuous layer of the outer atmosphere (outer ionosphere) between 300-1,000 kilometers high that includes electrically charged atoms. "Just as a heat shield sacrifices itself by allowing its outer layers to slough off during the fiery reentry of a spacecraft, Earth's shield absorbs space storm energy by throwing some of its charged particles into space," said Stephen Fuselier of the Lockheed-Martin Advanced Technology Center, Palo Alto, Calif., who is lead author of the first of two papers on this discovery to be published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Our world is protected from space storms by this miraculous system based on extremly delicate balances. This special system surely did not come into existence by itself. It is our All Mighty Allah Who created this perfect system in the universe.
Another threat the storm shield protects us from is the sun winds. These winds that blow with 400 kps are made up of electrically charged particles that rapidly pass through the Earth's magnetic field. During this voyage a tremendous electric current of millions of ampers come into being. This electric current moves towards the magnetic field lines which are invisible to the eye and, especially on the polar regions, trillions of watt of energy are pumped to the athmosphere.
In the absence of storm shield of the Earth, this heat coming from a huge electric current would render life on Earth impossible. The magnetic field of the world prevents the direct striking of sun winds to our atmosphere and the erosions that occur in time.
By means of the unique system our Lord creates the sun winds strike magnetosphere and enclose our planet. These explosions reach a greater speed and density with the explosions in the Sun and the force of the collision attain even greater dimensions with the contribution of space storms. Our Earth that is exposed to this intense storm bombardment is protected by means of this shield, which is one of the proofs of Allah's superior creation.
The Skies are a protected ceiling
The protective structure of the atmosphere may not occur to the mind of the majority of people who look at the heavens. However our atmosphere acts almost as a conscious being that struggles to protect our world. All scientific observations affirm that life on Earth is protected by this feature of the atmosphere. This in turn shows us that with its flawless creation, Allah gave the atmosphere to our service.
Another point that deserves mention here is the fact that this perfect system Allah created in the atmosphere is also proclaimed in the Qur'an. In one verse of the Qur'an Allah relates this important feature of the atmosphere which is discovered by the technology of the 21st century:
We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away from Our Signs. (Surat al-Anbiya': 32)
Another important feature of the atmosphere is its system of reflecting.
The two outermost layers of the atmosphere are the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Ionosphere reflects the radio waves coming from the Earth back to the Earth and ensures that broadcasts are received from far distances. Magnetosphere, on the other hand, collects the harmful radioactive particles emanating from the Sun and other stars and send them back to the space before reaching the Earth. All these reveal that there is a very perfect system of reflection in the atmosphere.
That the best environment is laid for the survival of life on Earth is a proof of Allah's flawless and harmonious creation. In the Qur'an Allah states that He is the Owner of everything in the world and everything submits to Him. In the Surat al-Baqara Allah relates thus:
No, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him. Everything is obedient to Him (Surat al-Baqara, 116-117)

ON A bitterly cold afternoon, Alty were making their last-ever visit to Worcester's historic St George's Lane ground, which has been sold to developers.
The Robins had already visited Worcester earlier this season when three goals in six first-half minutes ensured a convincing win for Altrincham in the FA Trophy.
With the sides occupying sixth and seventh places in the table at kick off, this league encounter promised to be a tighter affair.
And, it certainly proved so. The outcome was the first goalless draw in an Altrincham match since February 2010, when the Robins had drawn a blank with York City at Moss Lane.
The first half was a very disappointing affair, in which Alty's Stuart Coburn was the busier keeper, his best save coming five minutes before the interval when a cross from the left by Mills appeared to be drifiting inside the back post of the net before the keeper's agile intervention.
For their part Altrincham scarcely threatened up front until the second half.
The Robins started the second half with more attacking intent and, when Nicky Clee limped off to be replaced by Duncan Watmore, the teenager increased the pressure on the City defence. But the nearest Alty came to a goal was when Danny Hall's header, following a corner, was flicked on towards goal by Damian Reeves, but blocked on the line.
In the closing stages Reeves also tested keeper Thompson with a rasping shot after collecting the ball and turning smartly past his marker.
So, the two play-off contenders had to share the points, an outcome which lifted them both up a place, with Alty returning to the final play-off spot.
On the plus side, the clean sheet was the second in a row for Altrincham's defence, a double that the team had not achieved for more than two years.
ALTRINCHAM: Coburn; Densmore (capt), Havern, Hall, Leather; Richman, Moult, Rodgers, Clee (Watmore 53); Sinnott (Doughty 89); Reeves. Subs: Reid, Doughty, Lacey, Brooke, Watmore
