A lot of films that came to my mind have already been listed, such as "The Searchers," "Casablanca" "Patton" and, yes, "Groundhog Day."
"It Happened One Night" should be on the list, as perhaps one of the best of the screwball comedies and one of the few films to sweep the Oscars for best picture, best actor and best actress.
"Gone With The Wind" has to make the list. It was bad history, but it is the Hollywood epic of the first half of the 20th Century.
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" remains my favorite Clint Eastwood film.
"Shane" wasn't a perfect film, but it had a near perfect ending, with "Little Joe" calling out for Shane to return.
Speaking of a near perfect ending, no film has ever so consistently caused my eyes to mist up every time I watch it than has "Field of Dreams." Maybe you have to be a guy whose father is dead to appreciate the closing scene.
"Blazing Saddles" is a classic.

Five Red Flags Why Courtney Probably Shouldn't Have Won The Final Rose [VIDEOS]
Alright, we heard it was going to happen, but we still thought "No, Really. He'll see the light!" but he didn't. Ben chose Courtney as his "forever" on The Bachelor finale Monday night. Then on After the Rose, we find out they are still together, well kinda.What did Ben say? Something to the fact that yes, they're together and in a good place. They just need to reaccess our relationship…? What? I'm thinking that if you have to "reaccess" your relationship then you might not be in a "good place".
So here are my 5 reasons why Courtney shouldn't have won the final rose…
1. Cattiness – Remember "I'm winning"?
2. She couldn't get along with other women! Oh, but she said she tried so hard. Um, yeah. Not a good trait if Ben has friends that are girls and oopsy daisy… his Mother and sister…they're women too!
3. Cattiness – Oh gee, did I already mention this? Remember "Winning, I have a rose. You don't ".
4. Skinny dipping and going topless – Sure any guy would love this, but it "seemed" to us viewers that it was all just done out of manipulation. Remember "Game over ladies" and "These girls just don't know what I'm capable of."
5. To be fair, Courtney did say that this show brought out the worst in her. Ya think? 😉
Now all that said, if by chance (the smallest itty bitty little chance) that they DO work things out and stay together? Then more power to them!
Here is a story from ABC Tuesday morning with Amy Palmer from purewow.com. She had predicted the out come of the show early in the season. In this interview she talks how she saw it coming.
Check out the video below for some pretty unforgettable scenes of Courtney and nice girls.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Verbal aspect in the Greek language has been a topic of significant debate in recent scholarship. The majority of scholars now believe that an understanding of verbal aspect is even more important than verb tense (past, present, etc.). Until now, however, there have been no accessible textbooks, both in terms of level and price (most titles on the topic retail for more than $100). In this book, Constantine Campbell investigates the function of verbal aspect within the New Testament Greek narrative. He has done a marvelous job in this book of simplifying the concept without getting caught up using terms of linguistics that no one except those schooled in that field can understand. The book includes exercises, an answer key, glossary of key concepts, an appendix covering space and time, and an index to Scripture cited. Professors and students, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, will use this is as a supplemental text in both beginning and advanced Greek courses. Pastors that study the Greek text will also appreciate this resource as a supplement to their preaching and teaching.
Author Bio▼▲
Constantine R. Campbell is Associate Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the author of several books, including Paul and Union with Christ; Verbal Aspect, the Indicative Mood, and Narrative; and Outreach and the Artist. Dr. Campbell is a preacher, musician, and author, and lives in Chicago.
This is the accessible treatment of verbal aspect we have been waiting for! In a field which can be over-technical, Dr Campbell has provided a lucid, readable and short introduction which will be enormously helpful for students and their professors. His explanations of concepts are very clear, his model of how to move from aspect to kind of action portrayed is wonderfully useful, and his examples are very well chosen. Bravo! Steve Walton, Senior Lecturer in Greek and New Testament Studies, London School of Theology
Students of New Testament Greek have for years been wrestling with middle-level and advanced volumes unpacking verbal aspect. Something of a revolution has taken place during the last two decades. What has been lacking, however, has been an accessible introduction to the subject. Here it is! With limpid prose, logical development, and helpful examples, Con Campbell has put countless teachers and students in his debt. D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
Campbell and I agree on at least one major point regarding verbal aspectunderstanding Greek verbal aspect is crucial for understanding the Greek of the New Testament. For too long such knowledge has been woefully lacking among commentators and other students of the New Testament. One cannot exegete the text responsibly without applying an accurate understanding of Greek verbal aspect. If this book helps students and scholars to realize this crucial point, it will have accomplished its purpose. Stanley E. Porter, President and Dean, and Professor of New Testament, McMaster Divinity College
Dr Campbell's masterly introduction to verbal aspect in Biblical Greek will be appreciated by teachers and students of the New Testament alike. His clear explanation of this complex but important subject, the pertinent examples he provides, and how verbal aspect contributes to our exegesis and translation, all make this volume a must for those who want to study the New Testament in Greek. Peter T. O'Brien, Senior Research Fellow in New Testament, Moore College
This is a book which I wish I had had the foresight (and time!) to write. . . . This volume extends the discussion further by including a systematic method for working with both aspect and Aktionsart. This is the first time this has been done to my knowledge and the result, though not exhaustive, appears to provide a sane and solid foundation for using both these theoretical constructs in a complementary way for New Testament exegesis. Rodney J. Decker, Professor of Greek and New Testament, Baptist Bible College & Seminary

- Many smart, knowledgeable, professionals
- A fairly uniform world-wide brand
- Broad spectrum of resources
- A good place for young people to gain experience and responsibility
- Decent wages and benefits for the middle rank-and-file
- Very good compensation plans for senior and executive management
- The Risk Management division (multi-nationals) traditionally had low turnover and excellent technical people
- Extended benefits to Domestic Partners
- Very bloated, centralized management structure in New York HQ
- Executive management's response to Spitzer's legal action in 2004 took 3 tumultuous years to stabilize and when the smoke cleared, a flattish, flexible decentralized organization had morphed into a rigid, authoritarian and increasingly out-of-step and out-of-touch management team.
- Constant changing of technology platforms - most very, very bad - clunky and cumbersome.
- 10s of millions of dollars spent on bespoke technology platforms - abandoned after a year or 2 - which really looks bad when you cyclically lay off hundreds of skilled workers.
- Too many Managing Directors shuffling papers
- Moving toward cheap, disposable workers
- Middle Market business model can't compete with local and Regional
- No longer stand out as knowledge leaders
Advice to Management
- Build a culture that values expert knowledge again. In fact, build a culture - yes, with real values; honesty, transparency - then walk the talk
- Sell your Middle Market business - you're burning out your people in a doomed effort to compete with more flexible companies who focus solely on that sector. They do it better than you.
- Focus on Risk Management
- Send half your MDs out to pasture
- Stop selling on price
- Get rid of the commission structure - it provides the wrong incentives; selling cheap price and taking too long in the marketing cycle to do so thereby driving down profit - double whammy.

Diversified company with significant opportunities to move around. If one is dissatisfied with one's job, one can switch to another until one finds the right fit.
Salary is not necessarily competitive because the know they can get away with it because of their good reputation as they are a global company.
Advice to Management
Staff can compensated better.

Really? That bad? Alright, if you can drum up a little more support I'll change it. I don't want to make anyone sick.
But if you and I should meet on the field of battle in Halo 2, you are SO getting teabagged.
I'm almost afraid to ask... OK, what exactly is the Avatar?
It's the Master Chief from Halo 2 repeatedly crouching and then standing up, presumably over the face of someone he just killed. Such an action is known in the gaming community as "teabagging." I'm sure you can figure out why if you use your imagination.
The teabagging must stay!!
I say thee NAY!!
(I haven't played Halo2 for almost two months now and I'm jonesing bad. I gotta figure out how to get my DSL from the basement to my X-Box upstairs, then Zesty shall get the Lipton treatment.)
Foodaman, the avatar is from Halo2, an X-Box game. As an added insult to someone when you kill them, you can stand over them and squat up and down, as if to say "eat it, loser, eeaaattt iiittt........."
I'll leave you to look up "teabagging" on your own.
Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
Don't google teabagging for the love of all that is good.......Don't say I didn't warn you.
well, OK, I didn't realize it was gaming related so maybe I am overreacting. I thought it was some kind of S&M character after looking up teabagging on the web
HOWEVAH....please, please please heed Gyron's advice and don't google search (or image search) Teabagging. Ugh.

Police investigating 'teabagging' sexual assault
By Danny Robbins and Alex Branch
Star-Telegram Staff Writers
This article contains sexually explicit language.
Authorities in Lubbock are investigating an incident in which three members of the boys basketball team at Southwest Christian School in Fort Worth are accused of holding down a younger teammate and rubbing their genitals on his head, neck and shoulders during a road trip.
The case is under review by the Lubbock County district attorney's office, said Kim Hayes, chief of the office's juvenile division. A decision on whether charges will be filed could be made within two weeks, she said.
The report filed with Lubbock police lists the offense under investigation as indecency with a child, a second-degree felony.
The alleged conduct, known as "tea bagging," is similar to several hazing cases involving high school athletes that have drawn national attention in recent years.
Lubbock police began investigating after receiving a report in early February from the father of the accuser, who was 14 at the time, said Lt. Roy Bassett, a department spokesman.
The father told police that the incident occurred about 2:30 a.m. Jan. 7 at an Embassy Suites hotel in Lubbock, according to the police report. Southwest Christian played Lubbock Trinity Christian on Jan 8.
The father reported the incident to police because Southwest Christian officials had taken little action against the players accused of tormenting his son, the police report said.
The father was quoted in the report as saying he had removed his son from the school, which overlooks Benbrook Lake.
Southwest Christian coach Kerry Robinson said it is "common knowledge" that "some kids missed some games" as punishment for their roles in the incident. He declined to elaborate. He said any additional comment would have to come from Scott Barron, the school's president.
Barron, in a statement, said the school took "appropriate disciplinary action" but did not specify what that action was. He said in the statement that the school interviewed all the people involved to understand what occurred and that the information they provided was "consistent.
In an interview, Barron said the school prohibits hazing but has no set policy on punishment for violations.
Asked about the accuser, he said there has been "a lot of healing."
Southwest Christian finished last season with a 29-9 record and advanced to the semifinals of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools 4A state playoffs.
Several high-profile school hazing cases, most involving athletic teams, have focused attention on the issue in recent years.
"These are activities that have been going on for a long time, and, for some reason, no one has been saying anything," said Ron Binder, associate director for residential life at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and a specialist in hazing matters. "People are realizing that things they may refer to as 'high jinks' are causing people to get hurt mentally or physically, leaving some pretty serious scars."
Cases in which victims were restrained and rubbed with their attackers' genitals have been among the reported incidents of hazing in high school athletics.
In 2002, such an incident caused Central Catholic High School in Oakland, Pa., to pull its football team from the state playoffs.
The matter led to a criminal case in which the two attackers received eight months' probation and were ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.
School hazing may not be obvious sexual assault, experts on the subject say, but it should be considered as such. Like rape, they say, it is at its core a crime of domination instead of sexual gratification.
"What if these things were done by gang members?" said Hank Nuwer, a journalism professor at Franklin College in Indiana who has studied hazing on a variety of levels. "We have no trouble hitting gang members with huge penalties. This is a ganglike mentality, where stronger members beat up on weaker ones."
Nuwer said his research has shown that the punishment for such crimes is "all over the map.
Under Texas law, hazing by students attending public or private high schools can be prosecuted as a Class B misdemeanor.
Many area public school districts specify that such conduct can lead to removal from school. In the Fort Worth school district, hazing is classified as assault and can result in suspensions of 15 to 30 school days.
In the Southwest Christian incident, the father told police that his son said the attack occurred after three of his teammates entered his hotel room, according to the police report.
The father also told police that his son said his attackers used their fingers to touch his anus through his underwear but were unsuccessful in penetrating it, according to the report.
The accused teammates, identified in the report as suspects one, two and three, were 16 at the time, said Bassett, the Lubbock police spokesman.
Fort Worth police detectives with the Crimes Against Children Unit have helped interview suspects and witnesses, said Sgt. Dave Stamp, who heads the unit.
He said he cannot recall a similar incident in his four years with the unit.
"There's often an embarrassment factor for the victim in reporting something like that," he said.
Hayes, the Lubbock County prosecutor, said her office will probably offer Tarrant County the option of handling the case because the teens involved live there.
"Their families are there, and you have to have the parents come to court," she said. "Sometimes it just makes more sense."
Staff writer Yamil Berard contributed to this report.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Henry Blodget refers to Tesla ( TSLA) as "a great American Success story." I wish I could share Bloget's sentiments.Millions of taxpayer dollars subsidized the company and some key electric vehicle part suppliers. I'm not a fan of centralized planning or the government picking winners and losers. Some will claim the taxpayer money was a good investment if Tesla eventually becomes self-sustaining. That's equivalent to your friend coming back from Vegas bragging about the $10,000 slot machine jackpot. What the friend almost nevers tell you is he or she spent $20,000 to win it. Not only is the path to successful government subsidies paved with the sweat and toil from productive taxpayers, it's insulting. United States is a world leader in free-flowing capital markets. Does anyone still genuinely believe people with nothing to lose and no skin in the game are able to allocate resources better than those who own the capital? The only winners are government bureaucrats who maintain their high-paying government jobs by touting the "$10,000 slot wins" as their rationale for collecting a paycheck. With that said, I hope Telsa is successful enough that the cars are exported and the company helps to grow the economy. We will never know if Tesla could have been successful without taxpayer money, and that's a real shame because it leaves room for doubt in the ability of American companies to succeed on their own. For now, the real question that needs addressing is whether or not Telsa is a smart investment.
Everyone loves a short squeeze -- well everyone except short sellers. More than one neck snapped during the last few trading days in Tesla as America's newest automaker burned rubber from $56 to an intraday top of $87 a share in under a week. What makes Tesla especially intriguing is the massive short interest at almost 50% of the float. You just can't reach a short interest level that high in a multi-billion-dollar company unless the brightest on Wall Street think a given stock is overpriced and will soon depreciate considerably.

Japan's oldest and largest wine school, the Academie du Vin, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Something of an institution in Japan's wine world, the academy has turned out more than 30,000 graduates in its two decades of operation. But rather than rest on its laurels, the school continues to reinvent itself, most recently by hiring Mineo Tachibana as general manager and engaging some of Japan's top new-wave wine luminaries to teach a series of upcoming seminars.
The academy took its name and inspiration from the original Academie du Vin in Paris. Englishman Steven Spurrier opened that school in 1973 to provide English-language wine instruction to expatriates in France. While Spurrier personally shot to fame after hosting what has become known as the "Paris Tasting" in 1976 — in which a group of upstart Californian wineries beat out France's best wines in a blind tasting by French judges — the school was eventually sold and later closed.
Then in 1987, a group of investors decided to open a school dedicated to wine in Tokyo based on the Academie du Vin concept.
"At that time, there was no real wine market in Japan and very little information available about wine," Tachibana explains.
"Academie du Vin was the first school to systematically teach the basics of wine appreciation and was the pioneer in Japanese wine education."
The school was sold to printing company titan Eiji Tamai in 2000. In a nice full-circle touch, Spurrier remains the school's official "Principal Emeritus."
The school's two foundation courses are known as Step1 and Step2. Each runs for 20 weeks, with a 2-hour lecture each week. Step1 covers all the basics of wine, with a particular focus on the mechanics of how different types of wine are made and the characteristics of each of the world's major wine regions. Step2 drills further down into regional characteristics (for example, Step1 divides France into Burgundy, Bordeaux and others, while Step2 visits the Loire, the Rho^ne, the Left Bank, the Right Bank, etc.).
Tachibana says that about 20 percent of the students who take Step courses are members of the wine trade, while 80 percent are simply passionate drinkers who are looking to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of wine.
Anyone interested in taking the exams for the London-based Wine and Spirits Education Trust qualifications should note that Academie du Vin and Japan Airlines' affiliate JAL Academy are the only two schools in Japan certified as official WSET program providers. Those students who pass Academie du Vin's Step1 qualify to sit the exam for the WSET Intermediate Certificate, while those who make it through Step2 are eligible to attempt the Higher Certificate test.
Perhaps most interestingly for passionate but busy wine lovers, each week's Step lesson is given 10 separate times, with hours ranging from weekday afternoons and evenings to weekends, which allows those with unpredictable schedules to make up missed classes.
While the Step series and a Japan Sommelier Association exam-preparation course are Academie du Vin's heavyweight weekly classes, the school also runs nearly three dozen more specialized two-hour seminars held once a month for six months. There are a number of notable new entries in the upcoming April-September semester.
"Logical Tasting," taught by Hiroki Matsumoto, will teach students to analyze specific component tastes in wine, such as acidity, sweetness, tannins and astringency. Matsumoto's focus will be on understanding the difference between quantitative and qualitative expressions of flavor, i.e., what does it mean when two wines come back from the laboratory with the same amount of measurable tannins but one tastes smooth and fine-grained while the other tastes harsh and green? Matsumoto writes the popular wine e-newsletter "Barriqueville," and he translated "The Heartbreak Grape" (the story of Josh Jensen's quest to make the perfect Pinot Noir) and the classic "Napa" by James Conaway.
Kenichi Hori, perhaps best known as the creator of the "Sommelier" manga series, which went on to become a hit television show, will teach a course on contemporary and controversial issues in the wine world. He has titled it "Pensees" (literally "thoughts") after the book of the same name by philosopher Blaise Pascal. Classes will include a look at the alleged premature oxidation of some White Burgundies, the controversy over modern- versus traditional-style Barolos and the swing toward (over) ripeness in wine tastes.
Also debuting this semester will be "Exploring the Aromas of Wine," a course that could be considered the olfactory equivalent of "Logical Tasting." The text used will be the just-published "Playing with the Aroma Palette" by pre-eminent University of Bordeaux researcher Dr. Takatoshi Tominaga. And the instructor will be none other than former Robert Parker translator Takuya Kusuda, who was the editor of Tominaga's book. The topic of this course is particularly dear to Kusuda, as a skiing accident once left him without a sense of smell for three joyless years.
Sadly for the less than perfectly fluent among us, all the above courses will be offered in Japanese only, but Tachibana has pledged to increase the number of English-language courses in the future.
In fact, beginning in April, a six-lesson course, "Wine Basics for Wine Enthusiasts," will be given in English. Taught by simultaneous interpreter and former Michigan resident Yuko Ujita, the seminars, costing a total of 63,000 yen, will cover the basics of tasting wine and growing grapes, and they will teach students to identify the tastes and characteristics of the major grape varietals found on the market today. The price includes all materials and wine. The school hopes to offer intermediate and advanced wine courses in English in the future (please see www.adv.gr.jp for more details, or e-mail them at firstname.lastname@example.com ).
As for the future of the school, Tachibana notes that the Japanese wine market is much more developed and sophisticated than it was 20 years ago. While he points out that there is now lots of light, "lifestyle-related" wine- [reading] material available, he believes that there is still plenty of need and demand for deeper wine knowledge.
"Personally, I'd like to introduce more real information and real experience into the Japanese wine world," he adds.
Given that Tachibana has translated some of the world's more interesting wine titles — including "Real Wine," "Noble Rot," and "The Emperor of Wine" — and given that he spent six months working with Paul Draper at Ridge on the 2003 crush and preliminary blending trials — Academie du Vin seems to be in very good hands indeed.
Now we can only hope that the school makes good on Tachibana's promise and harkens back to their Emeritus's roots of offering a wide range of wine instruction to expatriates in the world's lingua franca.

smells greatThese little caplets are fun to use and they smell great. The serum has a smooth, non-sticky consistency that spreads across your face smoothly and soaks in nicely. I wouldn't say I've noticed a huge difference in my sun damage spots, but this product does make a good makeup base, it smells good and is pleasant to use, and it didn't make me break out, which is always an issue for me. Maybe with more use I'll start to notice a real difference. — 5 years, 11 months agoLaurelJ | 153 reviews

Don't see a differenceAfter reading the reviews, I went out and bought these capsules. I've been using them for 2 weeks, and quite honestly, haven't seen any difference. They do smooth on nicely, thanks to the silicone in them, but other than that, I'm not impressed. They leave your face with a matte finish, which is nice when applying makeup, but that's about it. I'll stick to Olay products. — 8 years, 4 months agoMicheleArtist | 10 reviews

Great ProductI have very dry and very sensitive skin. I started these drops 6 weeks ago. I noticed better skin tone (less red, more even) in about 2 weeks.

Little capsules of liquid gold!I tell everyone I know about these little babies. Not only do they make my skin look radiant, but they're easily portable (just pop a few in your bad for a quick weekend)and replace 2 or 3 of my other skin care steps when I use them.

They give my skin a subtle...read more glow, even out my red areas, and keep my skin hydrated. My only suggestion...I wish they had an SPF because that would make them 100% EVERYTHING I could want for skin care on a lazy Sunday. My only complaint, they do not list ingredients which makes me nervous and leaves me wondering what they are hiding. As with all my reviews...the lack of one star is for the non-organic nature of the product. But sometimes science is what is is and natural can only go so far. Stock up on these...they may get hard to find! (CVS.com if you are looking to buy). — 9 years, 3 months agosweetassgal | 24 reviews

amazing results!There are 28 capsules in the jar. I used one every day under my makeup. By the end of the month almost all skin discolor was gone.

"I shouldn't have to explain myself...YOU should be the one telling ME why you believed what you heard"
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues. ~Bertrand Arthur William Russell, On Education, 1926

The way dry and pre-fresh cows are housed and managed ultimately determines the level of production they can achieve.
"A good transition means reduced stress, reduced fresh cow problems, improved production with a better start, a higher peak milk production, and more persistent lactation curve," says John Tyson, agricultural engineer with Penn State Extension. "Added benefits would be a better breeding program with a healthier cow and added longevity in the herd with a lower cull rate."
Despite all the benefits, however, transition-cow facilities are very expensive on a per-stall or per-square-foot basis.
"This often leads to transition housing being reduced in the budget or cut completely out of the budget," Tyson says.
He advises looking at the cost on a total herd basis rather than looking at the cost per animal housed in the transition group.

Hi Ismael,
If you copy or open the link in a new window, it's working.

Every week or so, in my previous job as comment editor, I would chat to Sir Samuel Brittan about his column. "Sam", as he prefers, would have two or six suggestions and he was too polite to let on whether the conversation was mere courtesy. Despite his uncanny ability to arrive at my desk five minutes before deadline, it was invariably one of my favourite moments; the FT can be a special place to work.
I would occasionally suggest to Sam that he write about, say, the latest development in the eurozone crisis or the most recent announcement by the UK government. He would give the uncanny impression of someone contemplating what I had said. But soon enough, I had been enlightened as to the irrelevance of the emphemeral. More than once, Sam explained as follows: "I'm more interested in ideas." Read more

Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma attempted to ally fears on Tuesday night that he was not taking the plight of the disabled seriously.
He said the government would finalise the National Disability Rights Policy, which included the National Disability Rights Framework.
"The policy and the framework will guide government action to promote a more inclusive society and to promote the involvement of people with disabilities in decision-making processes," Zuma said during his State of the Nation Address on Tuesday night.
The Disabled People of South Africa, which staged a protest ahead of Zuma's speech, want him bring back the Department of Women, Children and People Living with Disabilities. Zuma moved disability to the Department of Social Development when he announced his new cabinet.
"Disability is not about social grants. Once you pigeonhole disability into social development you are merely saying the only thing disabled people deserve are social grants," DPSA spokesperson Olwethu Sipuka said during a protest last week.
Zuma said the government would also work with the sector to identify key areas in which the government should fulfil South Africa's role as signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its optional protocols.

Robert Murray secured a new term as Largo City Commissioner on Friday.
Murray, who was sworn into office just three months ago, was automatically elected because no one challenged him by the filing deadline.
"I'm hoping it's because of my background and people thinking I'm doing a good job," said Murray, 54, who was appointed to replace former Commissioner Andy Guyette.
Before his appointment, Murray, a senior flight mechanic for the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, was active in city boards and committees for three years. He also regularly attended City Commission meetings during that time.
While Murray was automatically elected, voters will decide one other commission seat. Largo/Mid-Pinellas Chamber of Commerce treasurer Joseph Falanga will challenge incumbent Commissioner Mary Gray Black, who began her current term in 2005.
Black, 69, a retired Belleair Beach city clerk, previously served on the commission from 1975 to 1984 and from 1989 to 1991.
Falanga, 52, who owns Pak Mail at Largo Mall, said he likes Black personally but is "opposed to a lot of her voting record when it comes to business."
Specifically, he said, she did not support a tax incentive program in June for a business to locate and expand in the community.
Falanga has served on the Largo Planning Board and Charter Review Committee and now serves on the Finance Advisory Board.
Black could not be reached for comment.
Murray, who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, is currently pursing an online doctorate degree in business administration from Northcentral University in Arizona. He's also an online adjunct assistant professor for Embry-Riddle.
Murray said he wanted to give back to Largo because he has lived here 30 years and used so many services like the library and recreation centers while raising his sons.
Before his appointment, Murray served as chairman of the city's Finance Advisory Board and on Largo's Neighborhood Advisory and Charter Review committees.
"I took a real interest in the city operation and found it fascinating," Murray said.
Times researcher Shirl Kennedy contributed to this report.

Following a 30 day spiritual training during the month of Ramadan, Muslims in North America are set to celebration the biggest Muslim event, Eid al Fitr or Eid ul Fitr, on August 8.
The Eid celebration in United States and adjacent countries is significant in sense that Muslims have to inform prior to their offices and educational institutes.
Celebrations go on for three days in the Muslim Community as they get together in community halls and Islamic centres with families to joy Eid blessings.
Following is a press release of Fiqh Council of North America
There is a possibility that the moon of Shawwal may not be sighted in the East on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 and subsequently many Muslim countries may announce Eid al-Fitr on Friday, August 9th. For instance on Wednesday, August 7, sunset at Makkah is 6:56 p.m. and moonset is at 7:07 p.m. The moon will stay in the Makkan horizon just for 11 minutes after the sunset. This may not be sufficient enough of a time period for the moon to be seen. The FCNA has already announced that Eid al-Fitr will be on Thursday, August 8, 2013. Following are the reasons for such a decision:
1: The Astronomical New Moon is on August 6, 2013 (Tuesday) at 21:51 Universal Time. The moon will be almost 29 hours of age by the time it is in the Los Angeles, California horizon. It will stay in the horizon about 17 minutes after the sunset.
2: The FCNA takes scientifically guaranteed astronomical calculations as the valid method of lunar month's affirmation. The calculations ascertain that the new moon of 29 hours old will be in Southern California horizon on August 7, 2013, therefore we accept that certain knowledge as a Sharai' reason to declare that Thursday, August 8, 2013 will be the first day of Shawwal.
3: Additionally the new moon will be sight-able by a telescope in California. That possibility of telescopic sighting in California strengthens FCNA's position. Many Muslim jurists accept telescopic sighting as a genuine Sharai' sighting.
4: The moon should easily be sighted in Chile, South America by a naked eye. Chile is on the US ET time zone and shares the night with us. The definite news of naked eye sighting should arrive to the US by 10:00 pm EDT, long before the sunset in California. That naked eye sighting report will additionally substantiate the FCNA's position as we share the night with Chile.
5: The California's telescopic and Chile's naked eye sighting will also fulfill the global sighting criterion which is the original juristic criteria for affirmation of lunar months. All four Imams have agreed that moon sighting anywhere in the globe is sufficient of a Sharai' reason to declare the new Islamic month. That criteria will be fulfilled on Wednesday, August 7 as the new moon will be sight-able by telescope in California and by naked eye in Chile.
6: Many established Sharai' standards of the new month's declaration are being fulfilled on Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Therefore, as announced earlier, Eid al-Fitr will be on Thursday, August 8, 2013.

Restaurant Stocks to Sell – Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD)
As much as I like a good sports bar, I have no interest at all in visiting or buying shares in Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD). Sports bars should be local joints owned by a fan and named "Nick's" or "Joe's." BWLD had decent results in its most recent quarter, with about 7% same-store sales growth, but I have to question the wisdom of paying 37 times earnings for a wings-and-beer joint.
About 3.3% of the quarter's growth is attributed to World Cup viewing, and that is not going to be replicated for another four years. BWLD's numbers aren't horrible — they just don't justify the price.

I think these tires are great but so far I've had to replace them twice. Both times are due to bubble on the sidewall. According to the guy who replaced my tire the first time, he's saying the bubble is coming from the inside. I haven't rubbed up on the curb and this is the 2nd time on a different side of the vehicle.

Saturday, 6 July, 2002, 15:20 GMT 16:20 UK
Murray Goodwin Q&A
After playing 19 Tests for Zimbabwe Murray Goodwin retired from international cricket in 2000 and now plays domestically for Western Australia and Sussex, where he is in his second season.
Q. You have been playing in Australia as an Australian for the last couple of years, and yet you played Test cricket for Zimbabwe. What nationality do you consider yourself?
But I still consider myself to be Zimbabwean. I have a lot of close friends in that side. You always want your mates to do well, especially when they are a minority.
Q. In 19 Tests you scored 1,414 runs at 42, including three centuries. Do you ever regret retiring from international cricket?
A. I definitely would have liked to be tested more. It's nice to know that you have done well against good bowlers and good teams but the true test is always over a longer period.
Then again, before joining Zimbabwe I was playing first-class cricket for Western Australia, not really getting a chance up the order.
To try and get into the Australia side from there would have been a hell of an ask.
When I heard that Dave Houghton wanted to retire and coach and was approached by Zimbabwe it was not a difficult decision to make.
I had gone to school with a lot of these guys, having only left Zimbabwe at 13. Travelling the world with some of your closest friends is not a bad way to make a living.
Q. Even though Zimbabwe made the Super Six for the 2000 World Cup, they came across as an unhappy team, with you and Neil Johnson retiring soon after. Is that a fair interpretation?
A. Even before the World Cup there wasn't a good feeling between the administrators and the team. It's better now but still they are still having a lot of trouble.
The political side of things isn't great so the players have a lot to deal with, not only with the country but with the administrators in that regard too.
Things are improving but it was sad that it took a couple of guys to leave or retire before they took note.
They now have a different guy at the helm in Vince Hogg, who is closer to the players than his predecessor, David Ellman-Brown.
David was very good in his job in handling the money side of things but his people management skills were very ordinary which is what turned guys against the administrators.
Q. And yet things haven't been easy for you since returning to Western Australia. You were dropped over the winter, were you not?
A. I started off all right but was dropped averaging 40 which was a bit harsh.
The selectors reckoned that I was not scoring enough runs in club cricket so I was a bit down to say the least.
I went back to club cricket, made a couple of hundreds and they put me back in for the last game. But I did not think that it was justified.
The cricket is harder over there but I would like to think that if someone was performing, averaging 40, they wouldn't be dropped anywhere in the world.
I suppose it was a case of wrong place, wrong time.
Q. And how have you found playing for Sussex in the first division, having been promoted last year?
A. There is a difference. In the first division you have to be switched on for longer periods.
There is a bit more depth in the teams. They can get away from you in the space of 30 minutes whereas in the second division they don't really nail you if you are off the boil for an hour or so.

This issue was reported by @adrinux in #1011178: Support the 'drush make' command:
It's not just about the make bug that was fixed, I'm arguing that it's just not good to have make files that auto run, at least at this point (changes in drush_make could make that moot).
What if I want to use a different version of CKEditor itself? Maybe there is a bug I need to avoid and it's fixed in the dev version of CKEditor, for example.
Right now I can specify the version I need in my make file, but the ckeditor.make will override my choice. And AFAIK there is nothing I can do about that. (Well, I can fork ckeditor and change the name of the make file, or manually install it. Not good.)
And if ckeditor.make breaks, it breaks the whole platform build.
Until drush make allows us to override all other make files in our own make files, having them auto run is a bad idea.
So I would again ask, can we please change the name of the make file to ckeditor.make.example? For the sort of people that use drush_make having the make file example is helpful, and it's no big deal for them to copy it over to their own make, keeping it as ckeditor.make takes away the power and flexibility of drush_make.
Comment #2adrinux CreditAttribution: adrinux commented
Thanks! And just before I committed changes to my make file too!
It would be nice if drush_make allowed you to override these sub make files from your main make file, but until then I think this is the best path forward.

Following #1099748: Fix drush make error when building a site with CKEditor and this issue, I'm re-opening it and increasing the priority since it is impossible to install the stable version (1.3) of this module in an Aegir's platform using drush makefiles through its standard way.
If I'm wrong, I would like to know how to do it please. If not, a new stable release would help us.
Comment #5patcon CreditAttribution: patcon commented
Could drush_make's "includes" directive be repurposed to work on the *.make.example files?
Or how does drush_make build the data structure when it finds sub-makefiles? Does it build each separately, or could it build the whole array first, so that the master makefile could declare a key afterward, overriding the sub-make's settings? (or nullifying them?)
EDIT: Sorry, wrong queue for this question :)

Al Sharpton Joins PETA Campaign
Consumer Freedom.com ^ | February 2, 2005 | Unattributed
Posted on 02/03/2005 4:56:59 PM PST by Still Thinking
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has enlisted the help of Rev. Al Sharpton in its long campaign against KFC. Sharpton, reports this morning's New York Times, has made an 8-minute video for PETA telling African Americans not to "give our money to KFC." Sharpton joins the distinguished ranks of PETA spokespersons including Pamela Anderson, Anna Nicole Smith, and Dennis "The Worm" Rodman. Who's next? Tonya Harding?
KFC gets its chicken from the same suppliers as most other chicken restaurants. So how was a man whose favorite Harlem restaurant actually named a "chicken and waffles" entrée after him convinced to lend his name and likeness to PETA's anti-chicken road show? After all, when Sharpton emerged from prison in 2001 after a four-week hunger strike, he didn't ask for tofu and lentils. He reportedly told a crowd of well-wishers: "I'm going to walk through Harlem just to settle in again, then I'm going to Amy Ruth's for some fried chicken."

i guess rev. al don't eat watermelon either.
Everyone knows Rev Al is a joke. My impression of him is that if you pay him enough he will say or do just about anything. I am not too concerned about this new endorsement since know one really listens too or respects this jerk!
AL and Jesse Both are trouble makers, for money and fame.

Reptiles and amphibians look like hang-overs from the past. But they overcome their shortcomings through amazing innovation. The pebble toad turns into a rubber ball to roll and bounce from its enemies. Extreme slow-motion shows how a Jesus Christ lizard runs on water, and how a chameleon fires an extendable tongue at its prey with unfailing accuracy. The camera dives with a Niuean sea snake, which must breed on land but avoids predators by swimming to an air bubble at the end of an underwater tunnel. In a TV first, komodo dragons hunt a huge water-buffalo, biting it to inject venom, then waiting for weeks until it dies. Ten dragons strip the carcass to the bone in four hours.

Secret Life feels a lot more authentic than many teen dramas.Orlando Sentinel Full Review
The show, like the old "90210" and "The O.C.," looks to be--from its premiere, at any rate--a top-flight series about a group of high school students, most of whom I liked immediately.New York Post Full Review
As entertainment, the pilot is a most impressive work of economic and focused storytelling.Baltimore Sun Full Review
Woodley's performance lifts a well-meaning, rather brave, but ramshackle show a notch. [8 Aug 2008, p.53]Entertainment Weekly Full Review
It's far more realistic in scope and situations than "Gossip Girl," but there's such an earnestness and one-dimensionality to the characters that they seem a lot less believable.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
Shailene Woodley is terrific as the teen in question. Unfortunately, other parts of the show feel so contrived they border on soap opera parody.New York Daily News Full Review
A good girl's surprise pregnancy is a strong premise, but creator Brenda Hampton (7th Heaven) undercuts it by surrounding Amy with an uninspired ensemble of precociously cardboard classmates.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
It feels thin, mechanical and confused.Los Angeles Times Full Review
From the tramp to the Christians, everyone but Amy feels more like a type than a genuine character. Although a degree of shorthand is to be forgiven, these characters are caricatures at best as the series careens all over the place.Variety Full Review
Campily depicting high school as a den of sluts and predators, Secret achieves the noble goal of making sex thoroughly unsexy.Time Full Review
The pilot was so uneven that the whole affair nearly veers into "Reefer Madness" territory--the kind of over-the-top cautionary fable that subverts honorable intentions through hysteria or cliche. Despite its pedigree, Teenager doesn't appear to have ever stepped inside a high school, either.Newsday Full Review
This new ABC Family effort from Brenda Hampton ("7th Heaven") works feverishly to make an educational institution look like the equivalent of a Nevada brothel but succeeds mostly in transforming high school to high camp. Were these stereotypes any more simplistic, they'd need to come with their own parental warning label.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
ABC Family means well but could not have done worse. Secret Life doesn't take the fun out of teenage pregnancy, it takes the fun out of television.The New York Times Full Review
It's a shallow portrait of youth, and I can't see how Hampton and her team of writers will be able to sustain things over the course of the series if this continues to be the focus.Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
Nothing about it feels original or even especially timely, and it certainly doesn't reveal any great secrets about society.Boston Globe Full Review

Tehran, Iran (AP) - Iran's state radio reported Tuesday that clashes in the Iranian capital the previous night left seven people dead after an "unauthorized gathering" following a mass rally over alleged election fraud.
The seven were killed in shooting that erupted after protesters in western Tehran "tried to attack a military location," the radio said, providing no details.
It was the first official confirmation of Monday's fatalities in Tehran's Azadi Square, where witnesses had seen at least one person shot dead and several others seriously wounded by gunfire from a compound for volunteer militia linked to Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard.
The deaths also were the first known in Tehran since rioting and protests broke out after last week's disputed elections -- raising the prospect of possibility of further defiance and anger from crowds claiming the vote was rigged in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Another protest march is planned later Tuesday.
The shootings occurred after hundreds of thousands of people supporting opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi defied an official ban on the march and gathered to protest fraud in last week's election.
At Azidi Square, standing on a roof, gunmen opened fire on a group of protesters who had tried to storm the militia's compound on the edge of the square. Angry men showed their bloody palms after cradling the dead and wounded who had been part of a crowd that stretched more than five miles (nearly 10 kilometers).
The march also marked Mousavi's first public appearance since shortly after the election and said he was willing to "pay any price" in his demands to overturn the election results.
Ahmadinejad, meanwhile, arrived in Russia on Tuesday to attend a regional security summit, after having postponed the trip for one day.
A Web site run by Iran's former reformist vice president, Mohammad Ali Abtahi, said he had been arrested by security officers, but provided no further details. Abtahi's Web site, popular among the youth, has reported extensively on the alleged vote fraud after Friday's election.
In Washington, President Barack Obama said Monday he was "deeply troubled by the violence I've been seeing on TV."
Although he said he had no way of knowing whether the election was valid, Obama praised protesters and Iranian youth who questioned the results. "The world is watching and is inspired by their participation, regardless of what the ultimate outcome of the election was," he said.
The huge rally Monday -- and smaller protests around the country -- display the resolve of Mousavi's backers and have pushed Iran's Islamic establishment into attempts to cool the tensions after days of unrest.
The death toll reported Tuesday was the first in Tehran since the postelection turmoil gripped Iran and could be a further rallying point in a culture that venerates martyrs and often marks their death with memorials. One of Mousavi's Web sites said a student protester was killed early Monday in clashes with plainclothes hard-liners in Shiraz in southern Iran but there was no independent confirmation of the report.
Britain and Germany joined the calls of alarm over the rising confrontations in Iran. In Paris, the Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador to discuss the allegations of vote-tampering and the violence.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's most powerful figure, has ordering an examination into the fraud allegations, although he had initially welcomed Ahmadinejad's victory.
The 12-member Guardian Council, made up of clerics and experts in Islamic law, was asked to study the claims. The council, which is closely allied to Khamenei, must certify ballot results, but nullifying an election would be an unprecedented step.
Claims of voting irregularities went to the council after Ahmadinejad's upset victory in 2005, but there was no official word on the outcome of the inquiry, and the vote stood.
The seven were killed in shooting that erupted after protesters in western Tehran "tried to attack a military location," the radio said, providing no details.

In my Scripps Howard column with Ben Boychuk this week, I argued for continued funding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting largely on the basis that it's rural parts of the country that would suffer if services like NPR—with its in-depth news and coverage—disappear.
A story in today's New York Times kind of reinforces my point:
COFFEEVILLE, Ala. — After a couple of days in this part of rural Alabama, it is hard to complain about a dropped iPhone call or a Cee Lo video that takes a few seconds too long to load.
The county administrator cannot get broadband at her house. Neither can the sportswriter at The Thomasville Times.
Here in Coffeeville, the only computer many students ever touch is at the high school.
"I'm missing a whole lot," said Justin Bell, 17. "I know that."
As the world embraces its digital age — two billion people now use the Internet regularly — the line delineating two Americas has become more broadly drawn. There are those who have reliable, fast access to the Internet, and those, like about half of the 27,867 people here in Clarke County, who do not.
In rural America, only 60 percent of households use broadband Internet service, according to a report released Thursday by the Department of Commerce. That is 10 percent less than urban households. Over all, 28 percent of Americans do not use the Internet at all.
There are a variety of problems with this. As the Times notes, there are economic, medical, and education consequences to the lack of access to the modern world. But one of the problems is informational: "This is about whether rural communities are going to participate in our democratic society," one of the Times' experts says, and he's right. Which is why cutting funding for the CPB really is a bad idea! The residents of Coffeeville, Alabama can't so easily call up the New York Times or the Washington Post or BBC News on their computers. NPR probably offers a nice and vital window to the broader world that isn't easily found otherwise.

New Government funding helps local nurse to pursue her dream
10 March 2014
New Government funding helps local nurse to pursue her dream
New graduate nurse Esther Allington (27) has landed her dream job thanks to new Government funding.
Miss Allington is one of 48 graduate nurses nationwide whose salaries are being funded by the Government to work in high needs* communities.
Based at the East Tamaki Health Care Glen Innes clinic, Miss Allington simply loves her job.
"I love the people. I love the cultures here. Primary care was my favourite placement when I was studying," she says.
"This is grassroots nursing and I want to make a difference to people and work to improve their health outcomes."
Gillian Davies, clinical services manager nursing and allied health at East Tamaki Health Care, says it wouldn't have been possible to employ Miss Allington, and two other graduate nurses based in south Auckland and west Auckland, without the Government funding.
"What's more, we were able to give the new graduates an opportunity to start their career in primary healthcare that they wouldn't have otherwise had," Mrs Davies says.
The employment of an extra nurse has also increased access for patients, she says.
The Government announced a funding injection of $2.4 million for 48 graduate nurses earlier this year.
A sum of $50,000 goes directly to eligible general practices to employ a new graduate nurse and support their development for 12 months.
In addition, the local District Health Board (DHB) provides support through the Nurse Entry to Practice programme.
*A high needs population as defined by the Ministry of Health is when a general practice's enrolled population is at least 50 per cent Māori, Pacific or New Zealand Deprivation Index quintile 5.

Trustpower Limited First Quarter Operating Results
Market Announcement
Friday, 25 July 2014
Trustpower Limited First Quarter Operating Results for the Three Months Ended 30 June 2014
Trustpower's operating statistics for the quarter ended 30 June 2014 together with prior period comparatives are provided at the end of this announcement.
Trustpower made good progress during the first quarter of the 2015 financial year as implementation of its retail growth strategy started to gain momentum. Energy accounts have increased by 8,000 and telecommunication services by 5,000 since 31 March 2014.
Mass market sales volume was up 3 percent on prior period, however, lower per customer usage driven by warmer weather and home efficiency measures had a noticeable impact on mass market demand. Time of use sales volume increased 18 percent over prior period following the successful contracting of some significant commercial customers during 2013.
New Zealand generation production was 2 percent below prior period and 7 percent below expected long term average. The major reason for this was North Island hydro production being down 16 percent on prior period continuing a significant period of below average hydro inflows into North Island catchments.
There was significant inflow into the major South Island hydro storage catchments over the period and this has resulted in total New Zealand hydro storage currently being well above average. This has resulted in lower wholesale electricity prices over the period as more expensive thermal generation has been required to run less often.
Australian wind generation of 256GWh was ahead of expectation as completion of Snowtown Stage 2 tracked ahead of schedule. During July the last take over certificate was issued for the ninetieth wind turbine at Snowtown Stage 2. Final hand over of the project is expected to be completed within the next two months. Final costs for the project are not yet known but are expected to be 2-3 percent below the original project budget of $A439 million (excluding capitalised interest). This is a great result for Trustpower's largest ever investment.
During the quarter, as previously reported, Trustpower was selected as the successful bidder by the New South Wales Government to purchase the Green State Power hydro and wind generation assets. The assets have an aggregate capacity of 106MW, are expected to produce around 270 GWh per annum and to contribute around A$8.5 million to Group EBITDAF in the first full year under Trustpower ownership. Settlement of this transaction was completed last week.
In June, Trustpower finalised contractual arrangements with Metrix to deploy smart meters to Trustpower's residential customer base over a 3 year period commencing in 2015. A long term service contract is included as part of this arrangement. Prior to deployment commencing, Trustpower and Metrix will work closely together to ensure robust end to end processes, systems and integration is in place to support both Metrix's service offering to Trustpower and Trustpower's mass market customer proposition.

Ashton Kutcher Shows Off Nikon's Latest Camera: The D90 D-SLR
Ashton Kutcher Pimps Out the Nikon D90 D-SLR
Who better to showcase Nikon's fancy new camera, the D90 D-SLR ($1,000) than their sexy spokesman Ashton Kutcher — who we've previously spotted with the Nikon Coolpix compact cam. The D90 is raising a lot of eyebrows since it's the first D-SLR in the entire world to shoot HD video in three different motion JPEG formats: 320-x-216 pixels, 640-x-424 pixels, and 1,280-x-720 pixels. And with 12.3-megapixel image quality, in-camera editing that allows you to straighten, reduce red eye, or add Fisheye effects and more, the D90 lives up to all of its expectations. Check out Kutcher with the cam below!
