Mark Pavelich, founder and CEO of Canadian-based MMA organization Maximum Fighting Championship, spoke with BJPenn.com Fist-Ta-Cuff Radio Sunday night to talk about the organization's success and its upcoming event this Friday night.
Founded in 2001, MFC has grown to be the premier fight organization in Canada and one of the top brands worldwide. This Friday night, the organization will be putting on MFC 37- a card that promises to be one exciting night of fights.
Pavelich said about the card and the hype surrounding the fighters, "We're going to know May 10, right? We're going to know May 10 if it's true or not. We're… going to know if [Smealinho] Rama, at the age of 21, and no one's been out of the first round with him, if he's the real McCoy or not come May 10. There's not going to be any discrepancy, that's what I like. We need a definitive answer to all these questions. We need definitive answers to Mukai Maromo, after him going on this gigantic run in 2012, turns around and then chokes in the title fight against Graham Spencer. Now you gotta think he's sleeping tonight thinking to himself, all the questions going through his mind. Then Jay Silva returning to the MFC after his performance getting whacked in his debut in the Maximum Fighting Championship. You gotta think he's sitting there going, 'Jesus, I got to pick up my game, man, because I am really good.' Or how [a]bout Luke Harris, questions going through his head wondering about, man he was on such a roll then he goes against Leonidas [Joseph Henle], and Leonidas puts the smack on him. Boom! He's been out for a while now. But that's what I'm trying to tell you. We got a lot of people that have to face a lot of questions come May 10, and they're going to have to be answered that same night."
Main event of the card will feature aforementioned Smealinho Rama (6-0), undefeated heavyweight phenom, taking on MFC newcomer, Chris Barnett (7-1), for a vacant heavyweight title.
Barnett, who also spoke on Sunday's episode of Fist-Ta-Cuff Radio, is a quick heavyweight fighter who will certainly test the 21-year old Rama.
Pavelich said of Barnett's tough debut fight, "I know how good this guy is, and… I expect great things from him. So not alone are you getting a warm-up fight, you're fighting a guy of Mr. Rama's caliber, who no one [has] gotten out of the first round with yet. Welcome to the MFC, homie!"
Co-main event of the night will be a middleweight fight between former UFC fighter, Jay Silva, and Sam "Smilin'" Alvey. Silva (8-7) is coming off a first-round TKO loss in his debut for MFC. Pavelich was ringside for the fight, said of Silva's performance, "He was out. I prefer if the referee would let him fall on the ground, right? Then there's not controversy. That's my personal opinion, let him fall on the ground then. It was funny because I was sitting right at ringside, and the referee was like, 'The fight's over,' and [Silva] was like, 'Where am I? Where am I?' OK, the fight's over man."
Sam Alvey (19-5) is also coming off a loss at MFC 36, but he fought a tough 5-round burner against MFC champion Elvis Mutapcic. Pavelich recalled the fight with excitement.
"When you see Sam Alvey, people are like, 'Oh Elvis [Mutapcic] is gonna kill him, he's gonna knock him out in the first round.' I told everybody, that's not gonna happen. Trust me, Alvey's never been knocked out. This guy stood toe-to-toe for 5 rounds with Elvis. I mean, come on, man! It's a sign of the times, man, people don't understand you're dealing with a whole different beast when you come to the Maximum Fighting Championship. People aren't worried here about losing, they're worried about not performing… Alvey got so many fans from that fight, and he lost! It's like, how can you crucify a guy that puts his guts out there and loses a fight? I mean, I can't. I praise him, you know, because he's that kind of guy. He's the kind of guy, too, he has that experience in that situation, I would hate to fight him May 10, if [that] was me, because you know what's gonna happen, he's not gonna lay down. You're gonna have to kill the guy to beat him, he's not gonna tap out, he's never been knocked out. I mean Elvis hit him with the kitchen sink, I mean mouthpiece is flying out, chiclets flying out of his mouth, everything right? And the kid kept coming forward and coming forward, and… to me that is the epitome of mixed martial arts. I just love having guys like that in my organization."
About the fight in general, Pavelich has high expectations. He explained, "It might be the fight of the night. You know, the two of them, that's something… Mukai Maromo and Kurt Southern could easily be fight of the night, but Alvey and Silva definitely could easily be the fight of the night."
Another main card fight that is bound to bring excitement is a bantamweight match-up between Ryan Benoit (6-1) and Anthony Birchak (9-1).
"This Benoit kid is off the charts," said Pavelich. "You know, he's a little bit loose in the melon, but he's got a full game. He's got tons of game. Listen, I'm telling you right now, Birchak's in the toughest fight of his life- it's coming up, and he knows it too. One thing about Birchak is, he realizes what's about to take place here. He realizes the situation I put him in. Hey man, he can paint his own future right now: he wins this fight, whoever wins this fight in impressive fashion on May 10 is getting a title shot at 135 at the next MFC. So let's put some more coal on the fire. Let's make it more exciting. I'm calling you both out. I'm calling Birchak and Benoit both out, and I'm telling them, please don't turn this into a point-karate tournament like the rest of the 135 division guys in MMA. Because it looks like that- they all move around a lot, they all move their head a lot, but no one breaks an egg. These two guys, they're a lot different from that."
Another interesting match-up is Kurt Southern (11-4) facing Mukai Maromo (8-3). Both fighters are coming off recent losses, a point that Pavelich says will make the two lightweights bring it all to the cage on Friday.
"I think it was some form of adrenaline dump," Pavelich said of Maromo's last performance, "because it made no sense to me, he looked real flat. He almost got knocked out at the end of the second round by Graham Spencer, which Mukai's muay thai is one of the best in mixed martial arts, and he almost got knocked out in the fight standing up, and I was like, 'Wow, there's something not right here.' Even Spencer will attest to that. He just threw it out there, and he was just so tired and so drained that he couldn't even block it. It's like, well, I hope for his training camp that he stayed in town doing his training camp, and I hope for his sake, like I said, lots of questions to be [answered]. I mean his athleticism is insane, his striking power is insane. But I saw [Kurt] Southern's last fight too against [Jonatas] Novaes, and he was killing him for 2 1/2 rounds, but he ended up getting submitted by a world Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion. You know, Southern's beat Mukai Maromo before too, but this is a real pivotal fight for both their careers, no question."
Pavelich, who is known for his passionate promotion of his company and the sport of MMA, wasted no time in promoting Friday's event.
"Tune in, everybody! The most electrifying fight card in the history of the Maximum Fighting Championship going down May 10 at the Shaw Conference Center. Still some tickets available, you can go to ticketmaster.ca, and of course watch it on AXS TV, your home for MMA. And don't forget, everybody, the title fight will be epic; it will be beyond epic. I guarantee somebody will be going to sleep in that fight 1000%. I guarantee that most of the fights on the main card will not go to the score cards, and tune into our website at maximumfighting.com, you can go to our Twitter page @MaximumFighting, you can also go to my personal page @MarkPavelich, and I'd like to thank my lovely wife of 26 years for always standing by and pointing us in the right direction making us the number one MMA organization in Canada and one of the top 3 in the world."

text:
* The Aqua Ribbon has a secondary "sword" function, which Cure Aqua used a grand total of twice, and one of those was in TheMovie. There are ''so'' many times when it would have been useful. Even if Karen didn't know she could ''do'' that until the episode where it happened, why did she not use it again in later episodes?
* For that matter, why do none of the other Cures ever do anything similar? I suppose it wouldn't really work all that well with Lemonade or Mint, but the Dream Torch and Rouge Tact seem like they'd work really well with similar melee weapon modes.
* Nozomi's position as the leader of Pretty Cure was an arbitrary decision made on the spur of the moment, and she was only even considered because Karen turned down the offer. It is also completely unimportant, as there is rarely any need for a leader at all, and when there is, it's just as likely to be Karen or Coco who takes charge. From episodes 1 to 23, there is absolutely nothing that makes Cure Dream different from the other Cures. But the Symphony Set (and as a result Pretty Cure Five Explode) is quite clearly designed around the idea that Dream is the most important of the Cures, and it's been in Milk's luggage since before anybody transformed. This doesn't add up.
** Maybe all the weapons could have been used by any of the girls, but they gained their colours and abilities when the butterflies bonded with them. You never know.
* In episode 5, we learned that Karen's parents come home on Christmas. In the Christmas episode, there was no hint of this whatsoever, not even an offhand mention. What the hell?
* Does someone at Toei Animation have it out for Rin and her love life? The manga and early episodes set it up so that she might end up with Nuts, but apparently the [[Manga/TokyoMewMew Ryoureta]] [[Main/{{Expy}} fan]] [[Main/{{Shipping}} club]] vetoed that or something. Then there's all the Main/HoYay with Karen; that's pretty common in ''Pretty Cure'', right? Common enough that it all got shifted to Karen and ''Kurumi''. In promotional materials for season two, they OUTRIGHT STATED that Rin would finally get a boyfriend in Syrup, but Urara goes and gets in the way of that. What, is she going to have to go back to the ghost or something?
** She could do a lot worse than that ghost.
** Unless Mukadia comes back from the dead or something, as it stands she might have something with the accessory-wearing older brother of the little girl from episode 41.
*** But then, HilariousInHindsight hit in when it turns out [[Creator/RyotaroOkiayu his VA]] married... [[Creator/AiMaeda Karen's]].
* Why do the nightmares often walk up to the cures and practically ask them to transform? why don't they snipe them or something before they transform? it's pretty obvious that they know who the cures are.
** Because they aren't cowards.
** Because if Girinma beheads Nozomi in her sleep, what stops her Pinky Catch from reverting back to butterfly form, disappearing, and seeking out some other girl to become the new Cure Dream? Whereas defeating her while she's transformed might take out the butterfly along with her.
* Maybe this is just me, but why do so many people consider Komachi a [[Manga/TokyoMewMew Retasu]] {{Expy}}? What do they have in common other than the color scheme and bookworm-ness? Retasu is a [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] [[CuteClumsyGirl klutz]] with [[MakingASplash water powers]] while Komachi is more outspoken, more proper, and uses [[BarrierWarrior a shield]] and [[DishingOutDirt earth powers]].
** Their hair styles when transformed are similar, as Komachi's ponytail seems to split into pigtails when she transforms into Cure Mint (and Lettuce/Retasu has pigtails in both forms). The fact that their power bases (earth vs. water) and personalities are different is a good point, though. It's also probably because people compare the series in general with Tokyo Mew Mew, especially with the fact that both groups say "Metamorphose!" to transform.
** It's because they look very similar in their non-transformed states.
* Is the power to take a human form exclusive to the Palmier princes or is it something all of the citizens have (except Milk until ''Go Go!'')? On one hand, Milk refers to this ability that the princes have to be "amazing", but on the other hand, the despair mask'd citizens near the end of the first season seem to have taken on a human form (note that Milk did not under similar circumstances) and Milk did seem to have a complex about it when it first came up.
** Milk did mention that she has utilized other forms in the past (specifically a puppy and a kitten, although we only ever see her fairy and human form), so it's likely that the ability to transform is common amongst all citizens of the Palmier Kingdom. The ability to transform into a human is likely specific to princes; the citizen's human forms while in Nightmare could have been caused by the masks they were wearing, as they went right back to fairy form when the masks broke. As for why Milk didn't turn into a human when she wore the mask, the masks might take a while to force a human form on the host.

East Setauket, NY – Once again it was the Cohen-Murtagh connection that did the damage for Ward Melville.
The Lady Patriots seeded at number six in the Suffolk Class AA girls basketball playoffs received major contributions from its two stars as they downed 11-seed Kings Park, 53-39. Caysea Cohen scored a game-high 20 points with 7 assists and Meagan Murtagh added 18 points with 11 rebounds.
"Well it was a big win, we knew that we had to come out strong because we knew they were a tough opponent," says Murtagh. "We scrimmaged them earlier and we knew they were a great team, so we had to step it up."
Step it up was exactly what this bunch did as they jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter before Kings Park was able to finally get on the board with a basket by Daniele Buoncore. A three-pointer by the Lady Kingsmen's Sydney Giacolone the following possession crept Kings Park with nine, but that would be the closest that they would get in this one.
A mid-range jumper and a made free throw by Murtagh closed out the phenomenal quarter of play by the Lady Patriots to extend the lead to 17-5 heading into the second quarter.
The second quarter was pivotal for Ward Melville as they were able to maintain control of the game and outscored Kings Park 10-6 in the frame. For the first half, Ward Melville only had three players in the scorers column, however, those three scorers were Murtagh (13), Cohen (10), and Madison Gorman (4).
Cohen reflecting on how she was so successful against a Kings Park team that came into the contest at 10-2 in League V and an overall record of 14-5, "I'm just trying to penetrate then distribute to my players. I know that once I penetrate their player comes to me, then (my teammate) will be wide-open for the shot."
That sort of mind-set worked perfectly as Cohen added seven assists, most of those going into the hands of Meagan Murtagh.
"I don't think we could have done this without Caysea," says Murtagh. "She runs our offense and she helps everyone else get wide open…so she's a great help."
However, the play of Murtagh cannot be overshadowed. Her 18 points, most of which came with mid-range jumpers, but also grit and determination on the inside to grab key rebounds allowed her team to be successful. "When I saw #21 (Danielle Buoncore), who is a great player, lagging off of me I just shot it and had confidence in my shot and it worked," says Murtagh.
Despite scoring only 15 points through the first three quarters, something lit a spark of offense from Kings Park in the fourth quarter. The Lady Kingsmen totaled 24 points in the final quarter to cut the final score to 53-39, with senior Buoncore scoring 10 of her team-high 14 points in the quarter.
Now looking ahead for Ward Melville, they face a force to reckoned with in three-seeded Riverhead who was able to get by #14-Patchogue-Medford with a 67-46 victory.
"We've heard that they are a good team, but we're not ready to give up," says Cohen who is a senior heading to Cornell. "I don't want Wednesday to be my last high school basketball game, so we're going to come out strong, and hopefully we are going to finish."

Student project ideas
We're always looking for people to undertake new and interesting research projects as part of their undergraduate study at the university. Below is a list of current ideas as well.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency of 32- and 64-bit x86 ABIs
An ABI (Application Binary Interface) is a specification for how programs interact with an Operating System and software libraries. There are now at least three that can be used with Linux and GCC on 64-bit x86 Intel & AMD hardware. There are performance and legacy reasons for having more than one ABI, but what are the energy implications of using them?
This project will seek to establish the energy efficiency of a suite of software when targeted to different ABIs on the same underlying hardware. You will identify aspects of the ABI that have the most significant impact on energy consumption and produce test cases to expose these. You will provide an evaluation of the energy efficiency of ABIs and the parameters that should be considered in order to select the most appropriate one.
You will have an interest in computer architectures and compilers, as well as an enthusiasm for creating more energy efficient software.
For questions or ideas relating to this project outline, contact Steve Kerrison.

When Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., became speaker of the House in 2007, she promised she would lead "the most honest, most open, most ethical Congress in history." To that end, House Democrats passed the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act.
In addition to a bunch of silly new rules about what kinds of food could be served at Capitol Hill events hosted by interest groups, the act imposed heavier reporting requirements on lobbyists for every donation they made to federal candidates, officeholders and their affiliated organizations. The new law also extended an existing one-year ban on lawmakers and their staffs from lobbying Congress to two years.
Unfortunately these good-government regulations have backfired. Instead of making the federal government more open and transparent, according to a new report published by the Center for Responsive Politics, they have simply driven the influence-peddling industry underground.
In 2008, the year after Congress passed the law, more than 3,400 registered lobbyists deregistered and stopped reporting their activity altogether. But just because a lobbyist deregisters, it doesn't mean he has stopped lobbying. This helps explain why client lobbying spending is up across nearly all sectors since 2007, yet over that same time the number of registered lobbyists has dropped by 25 percent.
Only lobbyists who spend more than 20 percent of their overall work time performing specifically defined lobbying activities (for example, meeting with lawmakers) are required to register as lobbyists. And it is nearly impossible to prove that someone exceeds that threshold. So many registered lobbyists can legally choose not to re-register and keep doing exactly what they were doing before.
CRP analyzed lobbyist reporting data and discovered this is exactly what is going on in Washington. Of the 1,732 lobbyists who "deactivated" in 2012, CRP found that 46 percent of them were working for the exact same employer doing the exact same job they were the year before.
For example, all eight professional lobbyists working for the American College of Physicians "deactivated" in 2012, even as the group increased its lobbying expenditures from $946,831 in 2011 to $1.1 million that same year. And then there are the lobbyists who never register in the first place, such as former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D. After President Obama spiked his nomination as secretary of health and human services, Daschle became a million-dollar "special policy advisor" for the law firm Alston & Bird. By complete coincidence, Alston & Bird's lobbying income doubled while Daschle "unlobbied" at the firm.
This new CRP report demonstrates that the reforms of 2007 have failed to clean up Washington by micromanaging every personal relationship in the city. But there is a right way to reduce lobbyists' influence. The more control the federal government has over the private sector of the U.S. economy, the more the private sector will invest in controlling the federal government. If you want to get rid of the alligators for good, you need to start by draining the swamp.

Army wife: How CGSC managed to screw up my wounded warrior husband
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at email@example.com.
A wife writes:
My husband was part of the wounded warrior education initiative and was placed in the military history dept at CGSC. He had only one class group and wasn't even able to finish it due to getting notice. The army paid a lot of money to get him ready for this job and I believe he had no chance to keep his job. My husband gave a lot to his country including limb. He had great reviews from his students and fellow instructors. He had asked if he should get his PhD a couple months into being at CGSC and was told to wait. Which of course his lack of PhD was part of the reason he lost the job he loved and was very good at. When CGSC placed these wounded warriors they knew that they wouldn't have a PhD right off the bat. The wounded warrior project went all the way to Texas to recruit my husband, moved him to Kansas, paid for his masters, paid for his salary while going to school, gave him one class group and then let him go. I'm sure there would be a lot of taxpayers out there that wouldn't be too happy to have no return on their investment. I have been around the military my whole life and for the first time I am very disappointed in how they have handled a situation. My husband feels as though he was set up for failure and that yet again the army has failed him.

APTS and NPR Join Forces To Create Public Media Association
WASHINGTON — February 15, 2011 — NPR and the Association of Public Television Stations (APTS) today announced the formation of the Public Media Association (PMA), a joint initiative to respond to the current federal funding crisis on behalf of public broadcasting.
"NPR is proud to join forces with APTS to make the case for continued federal funding for public broadcasting," said Vivian Schiller, NPR President and CEO. "The PMA will help public radio and television stations build support in their communities for these essential services."
"As Congress debates funding for public broadcasting, this joint effort between our organizations is critical to ensure that the 170 million Americans who depend on theirlocal public television and radio stations will continue to receive the high-quality educational, cultural, and news and public affairs programming and services these stations provide," said Patrick Butler, President and CEO of APTS.
The PMA will be governed by a Legislative Council comprised of four radio station leaders named by the NPR Board of Directors, four television station leaders named by the APTS Action board, Patrick Butler and Vivian Schiller. This Council will set shared priorities, and this new, combined radio and TV leadership group will provide fast, clear guidance that spans and serves both radio and TV.
Patrick Butler will head the PMA. He will be in charge of the overall legislative strategy and provide executive leadership for the new, integrated advocacy initiative. Mike Riksen, NPR's Vice President for Policy and Representation, will play a key leadership role in the PMA, reporting to Pat on matters of legislative strategy with respect to federal funding.

text: Posted February 9, 2013 · Report post Ok so this is now my 6th week of using tretinoin and I heard this is the time that I can expect to see some really positive results. Well.... I first started off using tretinoin every other night, then started to use it every night, but after getting alot of irritation and dryness I cut back my usage to every other day. I don't know if this is going to harm my recovery process but I feel this is best for my skin because otherwise it gets too irritated. Well anywayy so I think that over time the appearance of my skin has gotten slightly better and maybe a little softer than before the cream. My major problem areas are my cheeks, with my right cheek being far worse than the left. The majority of my acne consists of whiteheads, blackheads and papules.Well over time, my right cheek really started to get a little better. I do have a lot of scarring but overall the amount of pimples I was getting started to go down up until about five days ago. I noticed that I am developing a massive pimple that is under the skin and looks like it may be a developing cyst. Also next to it, I have three large pimples. I also still have many whiteheads and blackheads all over my left cheek with some inflammation. I am at a loss becauseI was under the impression that this was the time in my treatment that I would start to see some noticeable results!! I am hoping that these new pimples will clear up rather quickly but as of now does not seem to look that way. Does anyone have similar experiences? Hoping to get some insight!! When can I expect to see a real difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need to make room for Rawle somehow. He brings us way too much energy for him to just be sitting on the bench and rotting.
Murphy makes my idea to play Ike there at the end of the quarter look pretty foolish. Great job building the lead there. Now lte's see the killer instinct. Finish this one off by the 5 minute mark.

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:46:30 GMT —
COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Brett and Jacob Rhoad were able to spend some quality time with men who get are used to fighting fire and saving the lives of others.
The Columbia Fire Department is gearing up for their annual boot drive to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
"We go out to different intersections and we have a boot drive, it's for a great cause and there are a lot of kids that are effected by this disease and we want to try to help find a cure for it," said Chief Battallion Mickey Folsom.
The fourteen year old twins were diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when they were four, and their mother Julie said the Muscular Dystrophy Association has played a major role in their families lives.
Julie Rhoad said the MDA refered them to doctors, clinics and has even help put her in touch with other parents who also have children with muscular dystrophy.
Last year the firefighter's raised more than $100,000 for the MDA.
They will start collecting money Wednesday March 20th through the 23rd at the following intersections:
Assembly & Gervais
Huger & Blossom
Devine & Harden
Bull & Elmwood
Main & Sunset
Bush River & Broad River

Cool, like the heavy contrast between the figure and the background. Good work on the lineart though it could still see some improvement around the neck and noes. And the piece seems to lack detail yet in some ways that seems to add to it. All in all good job.
Thanks for the review! Yes I agree it's lacking detail and refinement in the creatures anatomy but these was a very quick experimental attempt at something new for me... Soon I will create something in the same style but with more detail.

Man Sentenced in Fatal Boating Accident
Winston Wood, a 21-year-old, was sentenced to two years of home detention and two years probation for killing an 8-year-old boy, Gage Pruitt, and Pruitt's grandmother, 51-year-old Susan Collier.
About the Boating Accident
In June 2010, as 19-year-old Winston Wood and two of his peers were driving down Lake Monroe in a ski boat when they collided with a fishing boat, killing two people, 8-year-old, Gage Pruitt, and his grandmother, 51-year-old Susan Collier. There were a total of five people on the fishing boat – two grandparents, and three grandchildren – according to news outlets.
Investigators told reporters that alcohol was not a factor, and all three of the teenagers tested zero for alcohol, according to news outlets. Although blame was not assigned for the crash, Wood was charged with leaving the scene of a crash that resulted in injuries and death.
Boating Safety
When you are out fishing, water skiing, or simply out for a joy ride on the water, ALWAYS be wary of boats and other water-faring vessels. Some people may think that because a boat is on the water, they don't have to use as much caution and a crash is less serious. However, this incident on Lake Monroe is an example of how a casual fishing expedition with family and friends can turn into tragedy.
Indiana Boating Incident Statistics
On Lake Monroe alone, 13 boating accidents were reported from 2008-2010. In 2009, statewide, there were 76 accidents reported on the water, and two were fatal. In 2010, approximately 38 watercraft incidents were reported up until July 2010 and three were fatal – two of which happened from this incident.

Derek Wayne Pounds, 40, Litle Falls, was charged Oct. 10 in Morrison County District Court with one felony count each of domestic assault by strangulation and domestic assault – intentionally inflicting or attempting to inflict bodily harm.
On Oct. 8, the Morrison County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a domestic assault. The victim had gone home and officers observed injuries to her face, nose and neck. The neck injuries were consistent with strangulation.
The victim said she went to Pounds' residence after they had been to the bar together earlier in the evening. While there, he allegedly pushed her to the ground and choked her to the point that she couldn't breathe.
When the officers confronted Pounds, he allegedly admitted being with the victim earlier in the evening, but denied injuring her in any way.
According to the criminal complaint, Pounds said he did put his arms around her, picked her up and carried her outside and told her to leave.
Officers allegedly smelled alcohol on Pounds' breath and he admitted he had been drinking, a violation of his probation. He was placed under arrest.
If convicted, Pounds faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Priority For Stan Bowman Is To Sign Patrick Kane And Jonathan Toews
by Paul on 06/02/14 at 11:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Currently, both players are making the same exact salaries - $6.3-million – and it probably isn't far-fetched to say both will be in line for significant raises. On the basis of Toews's value to the team - and the generally held view that if you could pick one player to start a team from scratch, it would be him -it's hard to imagine he'd settle for less than Sidney Crosby money, and that's probably where the negotiating fun will start.
Crosby got signed under the last collective bargaining agreement, so he received $104.4-million over 12 years, with an average of $8.7-million, which was permitted because the final three throwaway years are at $3-million apiece. In terms of actual dollars in his bank account, Crosby earned $12-million this year and will do so again for the next two seasons. Overall, in the first nine years of the contract, Crosby will never earn less than $9-million.
Since Kane and Toews are virtually inseparable in the marketing of the Blackhawks, the former will likely want the same money as the latter – and it's going to get pricey, as the salary cap starts to inch up again.
Negotiations can officially start after July 1, and that will be Bowman's priority, to get the two signed early, which will then give him lots of time to tweak the rest of the roster around them.

August 2013 anything but normal
Tue, 03 Sep 2013 00:35:15 GMT —
Columbia (WACH/NWS) -- August 2013 is behind us and with it we experienced some record events in the Midlands.
One noticeable accomplishment was we never reached the century mark for a month that is typically known as the â??dog days of summer.â?? Infact, we have not hit triple digits in the Midlands once this summer.
In fact, the warmest temperature recorded at Columbia Metropolitan Airport was 96 degrees on August 12th, 13th, and 29th.
At Hamilton-Owens Field in Columbia the warmest temperature we experienced was 97 degrees on August 11th and 12th.
Another record that we dealt with is one that many people do not think aboutâ?¦coldest high temperatures. We tied, or broke that record three times in August:
- August 15th â?? Tied the coldest high temperature of 74, originally set in 1964.
- August 16th â?? 70 degrees for the high broke the previous record of 71 degrees set in 1964.
- August 17th â?? 71 degrees for the high broke the previous record of 76 set in 1981.
The reason for the cold temperatures was due to whatâ??s known as a wedge pattern. These patterns typically occur during the colder months of the year.
High pressure developing north of the Carolinas, and rain each day helped support the unseasonably cold temperatures we experienced.
Another thing that we experienced a great deal of was rain.
We finished August with a total of 7.51 inches of rainfall which is 2.25 inches above the normal of 5.26 inches.
Even with what seemed to be a great deal of rain, our August surplus does not even crack the top ten August rain totals.
While summer does not officially end until September 22nd, 2013 will go down as the summer that was not.
Check out Meteorologist Garrett Bedenbaugh`s recap of the wet, and cool summer we have experienced.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom, 2011/12/19 - The UKs leading supplier of custom pool cues and custom snooker cues, Mojo Cues, has announced record sales of their bespoke cues following the relaunch of their state of the art website - TheBlueCube.com.
Mojo Cues are one of the UKs most well established companies offering personalised cues. Although the company are small the business has built in record time as the popularity of pool and snooker has continued to increase.
Following a surge in business earlier this year Mojo Cues decided to reward their loyal customers and attract a whole host of new clients by embarking on a state of the art redesign for their website.

The new site has been a rousing success and Mojo Cues visitor numbers continue to increase, in addition to their sales of custom cues.
Pool and snooker have always been popular in the UK but their popularity reached its peak in the 1980s and 1990s when snooker was televised and watched by audiences of millions, making the countrys top players into household names almost overnight.
Since then cue sports have remained a popular pastime for the British public and owning a personalised snooker cue has become a coveted part of the game for true cue sports lovers.
Mojo Cues sell a range of high quality cues which can all be customised to the specifications of the customer. Some of the custom jobs that Mojo Cues can carry out include engraved plaques, cue engravings and laser decoration.

CLEVELAND -- Damaged equipment at AT&T in Cleveland caused a breakdown of long distance and 911 phone service for many customers in parts of northern Ohio today. The outage began at 11:30 a.m. and service was restored just before 3 p.m .
Landline and 2G wireless service were affected according to AT&T spokeswoman Holly Hollingsworth.�
"It's a switching program," said Tom Kelley, Lorain County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Director. "It involved some of the 911 exchanges, especially in Amherst and Vermilion. Calls have to go long distance and then back again."�
Residents with 988, 984, or 985 exchanges in Amherst were unable to call 911. �Problems were reported in North Ridgeville as well.�
All residents in Vermilion with CenturyLink telephone services experienced a 911 outage, according to the Erie County Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security. However, �CenturyLink spokeswoman Joanette Romero said, "The outage did not originate in the CenturyLink network."
Phone outages also were reported in Sandusky, Fremont, Canton and East Cleveland, according to Ryan Shorts, owner of Warwick Communications in Cleveland. Shorts said his company has 4,500 nonresidential customers. Others reported 911 problems in Lake County.
"We've heard there was an equipment failure used to connect a high capacity line," Shorts said. "Basically the main artery is broke."
Shorts added, "It does seem like it's an AT&T issue. They own the majority of all the lines regardless of who the provider is."�
Kelley said no problems were reported with Lorain County's 911 Call Center in Elyria. Tracy Slagle, communications supervisor at that center, said 911 did not stop receiving calls throughout the day.�
"There was no problem on our end receiving landline and cell phone calls," Slagle said.�
Cities affected by the outage used a routing system that sent emergency calls to Cleveland then back to local dispatchers.�

niversally recognized as one of the greatest Egyptian films ever made, The Night of Counting the Years is based on a true story: in 1881, when precious artifacts began showing up at market, it was discovered that members of the ancient Horbat tribe were secretly raiding Deir al-Bahari, the site of a legendary cache of royal mummies. The tribe had little livelihood other than selling antiquities, putting them in conflict with the Egyptian government's Antiquities Organization. After reading the script, Roberto Rossellini agreed to lend his name to the project, and Shadi Abdel Salam's film was completed in 1969. This cinematic treat was extremely difficult to see from the 1970s onward until last year's beautiful restoration by Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation. Using original 35mm camera and sound negatives preserved at the Egyptian Film Center in Giza, the restoration preserves the film's poetic beauty, its evocative sense of history, and its themes of desecration and veneration. Filmed in classical Arabic, with a musical score by the great Italian composer Mario Nascimbene. Restored in 2009 by the World Cinema Foundation at Cineteca di Bologna L'Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory. The film was restored with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture.Resumen IMDb.com

" Genre: Folk - American Folk / Artist: Bruce Springsteen / Audio CD released 2003-05-05 at Sony "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This is one of Springsteen's truly great albums - his Blood on the Tracks. Every bit as great as Born to Run, but in a different way, this album is a must for Springsteen fans, and fans of singer-songwriters generally. The quality of the songwriting on the album is breath taking at times. As a song-cycle about marriage and divorce, this is as good as it gets. Songs such as Valentine's Day, Walk Like a Man and Cautious Man form the spine of this album - devestatingly honest writing. Brilliant Disguise is a prime example - every line is perfect - "God have mercy on the man, who doubts what he's sure of" sings Springsteen. What more to say? The album has a great deal of depth to it which gives the album real weight and makes it one for the ages - it stands up to repeated listens and rewards the listener who wants to really spend a great deal of time with it. He played every song from this album, finally, on his great solo tour in the mid 00's. Finally his audience got to hear these songs. Taken with the outtakes, stuff like Two for the Road and The Honeymooners, the collection of songs stand as a commentary on the most painful of human experiences - falling in and out of love. The saddest line on the whole record can be found on When You're Alone:
"nobody knows, honey, where love goes, but when it's goes, it's gone, gone."
Hey, who's that dude at the top of the page? Yep, you got it - Bruce Springsteen. Now, do you think I can get away with writing one more review about 'The Boss' without driving you all nuts and boring you to tears?
I had some great birthday pressies at the end of September and this was one of them - the original recording of 'Tunnel of Love' on vinyl. Second hand, of course but in pretty good nick.
I have been trying to get hold of this for ages either on CD or vinyl but unable to have it delivered to Poland because private sellers won't post here. I read about the album a while back and the journalist (from Rolling Stone mag) said that this was Springsteen's 'love story' album. I have always had him down as a romantic and interesting to see on his latest interview on American TV last week he was asked, 'Are you a romantic or a realist?' At this point he went a little shy and turned his head away. He was thinking about his answer. But I think we know the answer - don't we?
Okay, so let's have a look at the album. 'Tunnel of Love,' the titular track was the only song I really knew because as I've mentioned before in past reviews - me and Bruce weren't buddies way back in 1987. I thought he was just too square.
On listening to the album first time I was a bit taken a back - it was what I call a raw country rock album. Interesting to note that on 7 tracks Springsteen plays every instrument even though the E street band is around they never play as a complete band on any of the songs so in a way it is a kind of solo album.
There's a touch of rock n roll but not in the party sense - it's seems like an album split up into three parts and because of this seems a bit schizophrenic. There is definitely a dark, moody feeling very similar to the 'Nebraska' album but a bit more rocky. Bruce seems hurt, desperate and distracted. His marriage to model/actress Julianna Philips had just broken up. He's a wounded man - he made a wrong decision and the songs on the album are reflections of his broken love and relationship. He may not have realised at the time but the writing of this album was possibly the changing of the tide for him - he was changing spiritually. It was the beginning of a new cycle of creativity and artistry that would last for many years.
After first playing the album I liked it but there were a few tracks I had to play over again because I was unsure about the overall sound and how they fitted together.
The first track startled me, not expecting to hear pure raw rockabilly. His voice is very loud and edgy; as he huffs and puffs the words out you can feel the frustration. Flashes of early Elvis come into my head when I hear this track. It's a solo acoustic number delivered in the first person, telling us how he has all the riches in the world but one thing is missing - the woman in his life.
The second track, 'Tougher than the Rest,' I really do like - I like the big country sound with the twangy guitar, harmonica and strong romantic vocals. It's an 80s country rock ballad alright! Good hard, hitting drum sound by Max Weinburg and vaudeville Hammond organ sound from Danni Frederici. Bruce's vocals are direct, backing vocals are soft turning to strident and nice acoustic guitar sound from Patti there in the background. Bruce using the flanger pedal on this track creating the classic 80's mullet sound or as he calls his hairstyle at the time - 'Italian Frizz.'
It's amazing how your taste changes - well perhaps some folks never change their minds about songs they heard 20+ years ago but this type of song I was never into and would have run a mile from and that's perhaps why I was never a fan then of his music. Now, I love the cheesiness of it all and these lyrics;
Some girls they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin Joe, on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin Romeo
Well 'round here baby
I learned you get what you can't get
So if your rough enough for love
Honey I'm tougher than the rest
Basically, a song about needing someone even if they aren't the right one. At least he/she should be willing to give it a try and if it doesn't work out - he/she can just walk away.
'Spare Parts' - last track on Side 1 and one that has grown on me since owning the album. Some beautiful bottle-neck guitar here - worthy of Ry Cooder. A soulful, lonely, desperate song about a girl who made a mistake and because of this her life and everything changed around her. His voice is quite wild, slightly demented like he is going through some major ideal and purging his mind and body from the evil in the world but at the same time telling the girl to hang in there, not to give up but carry on and change her life. You could say this is Springsteen's homage to all single Mums' out there. He's telling women to pick up the smashed pieces of their lives after been left caring for the child, move on and find themselves. A great track and good to hear some members of the E Street band backing him here to give the song a big mighty Texas sound.
Then comes one of my favourite songs - 'Walk Like a Man.' I love this song mainly because I'm a soppy, emotional, romantic sort of person and I turn to jelly when I hear the lyrics explaining his ordeal of walking down the aisle as a young man wondering if he has made the right decision or not and needing his father there on that important date even though they have had their differences in the past. It's an old fashioned tale of a father and a son and I know he has used this theme before and so have many other musicians before him but Springsteen never fails to move me with his own brand of emotionalism.
Well now the years have gone and I've grown
From that seed you've sewn
But I didn't think there'd be so many steps
I'd have to learn on my own
Well I wasa young and didn't know what to do
When I saw your best steps stolen from you
Now I'll do what I can
I'll walk like a man
And I'll keep on walkin'
Moving on - Side 2 opens with the titular track and a great cheesy big 80's number but one of the best songs he has written and the two tracks that follow, 'Two Faces' and 'Brilliant Disguise', are really the core of the album. All three songs are about how we deceive ourselves when we are deeply in love. We slip on another mask - sometimes pretending we are someone we aren't, making false promises that we know we can't always keep, hurting the one we love when we don't plan to but can't help doing it. The mood of these songs is one of sheer defiance; of not knowing the man he is, disappointed in himself and that the principles he was looking for having nothing to do with what his heart is feeling. 'Two Faces' says it all - a schizophrenic song about a man who is sunny and wild and loves to see his baby smile and then the dark cloud comes rolling in.
'Brilliant Disguise' is a truthful comment about his first marriage where he explicitly tells us in his way about although he thought he was sure of his decision to get married he had doubts about; being a husband, and how he felt as a man, his wedding night, his beautiful wife and even the words his best man spoke. I wonder how many men have felt this way? This is a 'big' song and beautifully sung in his rough, craggy style - one that stays in my memory all the time and often find myself trying to curl the words like he does.
And 'One Step Up.' I really liked this track from the start and you will often hear me singing out loud to this one. It's very catchy; a song about questioning a relationship when it is going sour. All those arguments and slamming of doors. There's temptation and loneliness as he steps into the local bar.
Nice video to this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkFQHScyti0&ob=av2e
So what do I think? It's a very good album, very romantic without being to gushing. It isn't earth shattering like, 'The River' and 'Nebraska' but it has lots of great guitar sounds, soothing backing vocals from Patti and the lyrics are brilliant if sometimes a bit cheesy. I think the album is important because after this one Springsteen changed his direction away from the big rocker and as much as every fan loves, 'Born in the USA' and 'Born to Run' he hasn't really recorded those big rock hits since 87. This album is where we see Bruce growing up, getting to grips with himself and the disappointments in his life, becoming more spiritual. The old door closes, the old Boss leaves. New door opens and a new 'Boss' enters.
Who would like the album? Definitely Springsteen fans and soppy, romantic people like me. Folks who like a good bit of bottleneck guitar and those country, twangy numbers. People who are into corny lyrics and Americana?
Well, even if you don't like any of those things - give it a try. It took 23 years before I got round to listening to it and I'm so glad I did. It's in my pile of top 10 Springsteen albums now!
when i first heard this album i didnt understand it i thought the music was lovely but i didnt understand what it was all about, then one day i put it on and bam it hit me and all fell into place.
The album is about relashinships. and no one can write about them like bruce springsteen,
this is not a soppy love album this is not a dark ride through the tunnel of love but this is a rollercoaster of emotions ,
the album deals with deciept betrayal denial lust hope fear self doubt all the feelings that love brings us.
musically this is a beautiful sounding album ( sounds great on headphones ) lyrically its brilliant . and vocally its clear and sung well and you can feel the realness in he's voice as he sings.
it contains 5 hit singles and a class of songwritting .
the songs well. here's a rundown.
aint got you - a short rockabilly type number about having everything but love
tougher than the rest - a bruce classic ( this was a single and the live version is a thousand times better ( check out the video ) a good solid i want you love song.
all that heaven will alllow - is alight hearted feel good love song about wanting everything from life.
spare parts - the only real rock song on the album and this was also a single. the live version though again is much better. a good rockin tale of a pregnant girl and her troubles
cautious man - this a story song the most sombre on the album it sound slovely and the story is brilliant
walk like a man - a brillaint ballad about being brave and recalling the past this has some brilliant lyrics
Tunnel of love - another single with video this is now another classic a good mid upbeat rock love song
two faces - a mid tempo ballad with soem great keyboard sing along riff - aboutthe two faces we show in love

when youre alone - a catchy ballad again lyrics are great
valentines day - this is like a slow driving ballad with some lovely music and a voice of uncertainty and hope and fear and longing. great end to a brilliant album.
iif you know the pit falls of love and that other sid of the coin then you will really appreciate this album
Springsteen - Tunnel Of Love (1987) 3 years after the massive success of Born In The USA (selling 18 million albums), America's nearest thing to a working class hero gave us a more sublime offering. Subtle, thoughtful and brilliant. Tunnel Of Love was recorded predominantly at his home in Rumson, New Jersey. Disappointed with early recordings with country musicians, Springsteen reverted to working solo on what is effectively an introverted view on the progression of a relationship in a dozen classy songs. While the E Street Band are credited with involvement in much of the work, you do not feel that the band actually contributed to the overall feel of the album. For me, this makes it all the better. So, what about the songs? Well, how do you tell the tale of a relationship moving from longing to dating to marriage and the inevitable doubts and failures that follow? Ain't Got You is a strong enough start, but Tougher Than The Rest clearly sets out the fight to win over the girl. With a drum beat matching the heartbeat, this is probably the highlight of the album for me, but there is still lots of marvellous stuff to follow. Spare Parts (And Broken Hearts) as well as Cautious Man seem to fall back on Springsteen and the relationship with his father, expressing a cynical view of marriage. Fear of all the demons of relationships are expressed in Two Faces and the terrific Brilliant Disguise which reflects Springsteen and his songwriting at its very best. Many of us can reconcile the lyric "I wanna know if its you I don't trust, cos I damn sure don't trust myself". Despite the lively One Step Up, the lyrical content and mood of the album is still a tad depressing, and played late on a lonely night makes perfect listening as he describes "when I look at myself, I don't see the man I wanted to be" as for every step forward he takes two steps back. When You
re Alone waves goodbye to the failing relationship and the keyboard led Valentines Day closes in the album with an overwhelming sense of loss. The demise of Springsteen's own marriage happened during the making of this album, and, as songwriters often do, he clearly used his work as a way to express the frustrations at his own failures as he lost something he valued. While selling only a third of the number of copies of Born In The USA, this is a better album. Thoughtfully crafted songs around a continuous theme that is easy to relate to, Springsteen will almost certainly be prouder of this work, even if it didn't make him as much money. Get it. Listen to it. £8.99 at www.cd-wow.com or a lot more anywhere else! Subsequent albums include The Ghost Of Tom Joad and The Rising. I rate these at 6 stars!
When it came out, it represented a change in direction for Springsteen. For a start, it was credited to Bruce Springsteen, not to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Some of the members feature, but no gutsy saxophone from Clarence Clemons, (although he does provide some vocals) and no Steve Van Zandt. The band was joined by Nils Lofgren, who I have always rated highly, but he doesn't get much chance to make his mark. Listening to it now, "Tunnel of Love" still sounds similar in some ways to the 'older' material that preceded it, just a bit calmer, the music of a rocker who's grown up. Lyrically, the themes are now love and relationships, rather than racing on the street and dating. I still like the title track. Back in 1987 the song "Tunnel of Love" reminded me of Dire Straits, which unsettled me, but I enjoy listening to it nonetheless. "Brilliant disguise" (also released as a single) always seemed a bit feeble somehow, not quite redeemed by the inclusion of "in the wee wee hours" lyric! "Walk like a man" is one-man-in-a-recording studio a la the "Nebraska" album. Stand out tracks are "Tougher than the rest", the title track and the wistful "Valentine's Day", but there's nothing really awful on here.

Rihanna Calls Jessica Biel to Deny Justin Timberlake Rumors
While Chris Brown still pines for his ex, Rihanna has clearly moved on.
The 'Umbrella' singer and Justin Timberlake have reportedly been "inseparable" since September's MTV Video Music Awards, when he was spotted heading up to her hotel room after the two got extra-close on the dance floor at a VMA after party.
Though Rihanna claims that they are simply working on her new album, rumors have spread about their in-studio antics, and Justin's girlfriend, actress Jessica Biel, is apparently a little less than thrilled at their budding relationship.
According to a major gossip website, Rihanna took it upon herself to call Biel personally to address the rumors, because she "knows how it feels to be cheated on, so she wouldn't want to do that to someone else."
The site also alleges that to achieve that end, Rihanna went "on a manhunt to find Jessica's number and reach out to her. She claims that Justin is only her friend and they became very close only because of working on her CD together."
The Barbadian beauty for has openly admitted to having a long-standing thing for Justin. "I wouldn't have wanted to date white guys before but they're killin' it right now," she told Vibe back in 2007. "Justin Timberlake … Every hot guy I see is white."
If there's one thing we've learned about Justin Timberlake rumors, when there's smoke, there's generally fire. Look out, Jessica.

Good Points
Extreme accuracy, ease of shooting, superb build and finish, very well designed
Bad Points
Needs a Venom Lazaglide tune to really unleash its potential
General Comments
Having read the Terry Doe review of the lazaglided Webley Longbow I went out a bought one in .177. Picking it up from Webley Venom the customer service was excellent. They scoped up and rough zeroed the gun for me and gave me 1000 Lazadomes to get me started. At the range I was delighted. The gun groups under 3/4 inch at 30 yards from a seated Field Target position every time. My best group at 30 yards had all 5 shots touching each other in a group around 1/2 inch. The ease with which you can shoot this rifle accurately is outstanding meaning that the balance, stock design, lock time and firing cycle are spot on. The best compliment that I can pay this rifle is that in Lazaglided form it rivals the venerable TX200 for the most accurate spring gun made.

German director Peter Zadek dead at 83
Zadek was widely regarded as one of the greatest directors in German-speaking theatre.
Berlin -- Legendary German theatre and film director Peter Zadek has died at the age of 83 after a long illness, the theatre in the northern city of Hamburg where he frequently staged productions said Thursday.
"He died overnight in hospital" in Hamburg, the Sankt Pauli Theatre said.
Reacting to the news of Zadek's death, Culture Minister Bernd Neumann said the German theatre had lost "one of the most significant directors of the present day."
"It was he, more than almost any other artist, who shaped and changed the landscape of the German stage since the 1960s," added Neumann.
Born in Berlin in May 1926, Zadek was widely regarded as one of the greatest directors in German-speaking theatre.
He was born into a Jewish family and emigrated with his parents to Britain in 1933 when the Nazis took power in Germany.
They lived first in London but fled during World War II to Oxford where Zadek first discovered his love of theatre.
Determined to turn this passion into a career, Zadek returned to London to study at the Old Vic theatre, and his first productions there included Oscar Wilde's "Salome" and T.S. Eliot's "Sweeney Agonistes."
In 1957, he directed the first performance of Jean Genet's "The Balcony" in London.
Returning to Germany in 1958, Zadek worked in the theatre in Bremen for six years from 1962 and was appointed head of the Schauspielhaus theatre in Bochum from 1972 until 1975.
Zadek directed his first opera, Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro", in 1983.
From 1985 to 1989, he was head of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg and then became co-director of the world-famous Berliner Ensemble in Berlin from 1992 to 1994.
He also worked at the Burgtheater in Vienna, where he directed stagings of "The Merchant of Venice", and legendary productions of Chekhov.
In the Austrian capital, he famously directed "Hamlet" as part of the Wiener Festwochen festival in 1999 with a woman -- German actress Angela Winkler -- in the title role.
Zadek also directed a number of films for television.

Relay Protection
In some applications of high impedance relays for protection and control duties, the maximum internal fault current can develop high voltages that can damage the relay insulation.
A range of Metrosil non-linear resistors, mainly based on 150mm diameter discs, has been developed to limit this voltage to a safe level.
Correct Metrosil selection ensures that the best protection is obtained while maintaining a Metrosil leakage current low enough to have negligible affect on the accuracy of the relay at its maximum setting voltage.
The Metrosil chosen depends on the relay setting voltage and the maximum secondary internal fault current. Single disc Metrosils are suitable for secondary internal fault currents up to 50A rms. Metrosils with multiple discs connected in parallel are used for larger fault currents.

This weekend, individuals passing through Lincoln County will have the opportunity to fill local firefighters' boots with change and help make a difference in the lives of those living locally and nationally with neuromuscular diseases.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association's local district office in Mooresville contacted the Lincoln County Firefighters Association about adding the county to their list of fundraising locations this summer, according to local MDA Fundraising Coordinator Barbara Hawk.
The local MDA office spans a total of 10 counties, and in 2011, raised more than $100,000 for the organization and it services for local residents which include summer camps and clinics, support groups, flu shots, research and medical equipment repair for people registered with the MDA.
"We provide services to people locally that we do our fundraisers in," Hawk said.
The city of Lincolnton previously participated in the nationwide "Fill the Boot" campaign but has been out-of-the-loop for the last two years, Hawk said. During the city fire department's MDA fundraising years, firefighters at one point drew in between $15,000 and $18,000, according to organization officials.
During that time, Lincolnton firefighter Randy Hallman took on the initiative and raised much community awareness about the organization since both his children suffered from muscular dystrophy, Boger City Asst. Fire Chief Bryan Lynch told the Times-News Thursday.
Lincoln County firefighters have set this year's target goal at $10,000, with expectations to exceed that number.
"I am certain they will surpass that goal," Hawk said.
Most boot donations come in the form of change since firefighters typically collect funds along area roadways.
In addition, all MDA funds are raised entirely through sponsorship, not government assistance, Hawk said. In addition, Diamond Water chipped in and donated water bottles for Lincoln County fire crews working this weekend's event.
More than 80 firefighters from Denver, Lincolnton, Boger City, North 321, Howards Creek and East Lincoln Fire Departments plan to participate in the fundraising effort. Firefighters will have boots on-hand 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the following county locations:
Wal-Mart Supercenter, 306 N. Generals Boulevard in Lincolnton
Lowe's Home Improvement, 1603 E. Main Street in Lincolnton
West Express Convenient Store, 4472 W. Hwy. 27 in Vale
Bi-Lo, 427 N. Generals Boulevard in Lincolnton
Bi-Lo, 742 W. Hwy. 27 in Lincolnton
Wal-Mart Supercenter, 7131 Hwy. 73 in Denver
Harris Teeter, 2318 E. Main St. in Lincolnton (Boger City)
The old intersection of N.C. 16 & N.C. 73
The intersection of Campground Road & N.C. 16 in Denver
"Firefighters are very important to us as an organization and in the community," Hawk said.

Rules for bikers when there are no bike lanes
Wed, 10 Aug 2011 19:32:28 GMT —
Albany isn't too well known for being bike-friendly.
Bikes lanes are rare, though they do run along parts of Gillionville Road.
Some motorists are anxious about bikers sharing the road, so what are the rules when there are no bike lanes?
Chief Don Cheek of the Dougherty County Police says bikers should stay as far to the right as possible unless they're turning left.
But both bikers and drivers need to be vigilant.
"When vehicles are overtaking bicycles, a new law that came in July said vehicles have to give bicyclists a three foot clearance," says Chief Cheek.
Chief Cheek also says the days of riding bikes against traffic are gone--law enforcement deemed it too dangerous.

The first pic is the stuff that is really tough to split if the log is bigger than 8", and the second pic is of the same wood....after splitting it. The third is of another type of wood of which I do not know the species. I was lucky enough to score some oak as well...there were a few branches on those logs. Thanks for the help.

Titanfall Multiplayer Capped at 6v6
Respawn's Vince Zampella revealed Titanfall would feature a maximum of six players per side in the futuristic shooter's mutliplayer.
Zampella took to his Twitter to answer a fan's question about the player count, and his response was met with some immediate disdain.
As it stands, some of the most enjoyable multiplayer games we've played in recent years have been capped at six players per side, including Team Fortress 2. There's a larger sense of teamwork on such a small unit compared to the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield, which feature much larger player pools.
Elsewhere, after seeing the response Zampella's statement was getting, Respawn's Drew McCoy took to NeoGAF to explain a bit more about how the decision was made. "[We] tried a huge amount of playercounts (all the way down to 1v1 and up quite high) and designed the maps, gameplay mechanics, and entire experience around which played best," McCoy said.
"Remember, you can get out of your Titan and let it roam on AI mode - meaning there can be 12 Pilots wallrunning around, 12 Titans stomping below, and dozens of AI doing their thing," McCoy added. "I keep seeing people thinking we've got 'bots' when we talk about AI. That's not how they are. The AI in Titanfall are not replacements for human players. Our playercount is not 6v6 because of AI - AI play their own role in the game and are a different class of character in the game."
Titanfall is due out in just a few months, so even if the fan backlash was warranted, there's little chance Respawn would adjust its entire multiplayer strategy just to quell the voice of such a small fraction of potential players. With the pedigree of the development team involved, we're inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt when talking about what's best for their game.

|There is an alternate start to this that I bolted that comes up the wall below to add some nice moderate climbing before you jump right into the cruxy start of the original way. This was the left most line on the lower wall ( glue-ins) but a lower bolted start to boar war may have been added since. The next 3 lines to the rt on this lower wall are ones that I wouldn't recommend: first, Measured Doses, a nondescript route with (to my mind)an oddly bolted finish. Second, a sharp, half cleaned, nasty, trad route that I did, with a bolted anchor (Ugly Crack), and finally a sharp sport route, Short and Sharp, that is right above a patch of rare plants that may not be visible part of the year, so please don't climb this or disturb the base area

Background Check
Prior to starting a clinical rotation with a contracted/affiliated hospital or healthcare facility, students are required to undergo a criminal background check (CBC) to enhance patient safety and protection. This is a requirement placed on the healthcare facilities by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). In compliance with this requirement, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) has drafted the following policy to assist students in completing professional training in their respective healthcare field.
- UTHSC requires that admitted students undergo a CBC prior to matriculation.
- A private company approved/licensed to perform CBCs will conduct these background checks.
- The student has the responsibility to initiate the procedures to obtain the background check and will assume the cost.
- The CBC search may include sources such as the following:
- County Criminal Record Search (7 years) from addresses disclosed on the ID Search Plus.
- ID Search Plus verifies and checks for contradictory application information by matching a consumer's name, address and/or social security number against Trans Union's credit-reporting database. ID Search Plus delivers current/previous addresses, SSN, birth dates and aliases.
- FACIS (level 3) is a search of a vast database containing adverse actions of individuals and entities in the healthcare field. This includes information on disciplinary actions ranging from exclusion and debarments to letters of reprimand and probation. Level 3 Office of Inspection General (OIG)/ US General Services Administration (GSA) and other federal sources, plus 50 states (800+sources). This search exceeds minimum federal requirements.
- Sex Offender Database A database search for individuals registered as sex offenders in the selected state or jurisdiction. Information and offender level retrieved varies by location.
- Tennessee Abuse Registry The Tennessee Department of Health is required by state law and federal regulations to maintain a registry of persons who have abused, neglected, or misappropriated personal property.
- License verification.
- Employment histories.
- A student whose CBC shows negative findings, including the following, may be excluded
by the healthcare facility from a clinical
placement program:
- History of any felony conviction within the last seven years
- History of class "A" misdemeanor conviction within the last seven years
- History of class "B" misdemeanor conviction within the last seven years
- Listing on the registry maintained by the Department of Health pursuant to T.C.A. Section 68-11-1004
- Listing on any of the following registries: HHS/OIG list of excluded individuals, GSA list of Parties Excluded from Federal Programs, U.S. Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), List of Specialty Designated Nationals (SDN),
- An encumbered license (current or prior) in a health-related field.
The background check vendor will provide a summary report (without detail) of the above eligibility screens to the designated UTHSC official(s) for each student.
- UTHSC will notify all newly admitted students of the new requirement that they must have an approved Criminal Background Check prior to matriculation. A student who is challenging any part of the CBC may enroll provided that he/she acknowledges that the challenge must be cleared prior to registration.
- UTHSC will notify all enrolled students of the new requirement that they must pass a Criminal Background Check prior to being placed (as part of their training) in an affiliated healthcare facility.
- Students will be referred to website http://scholar.verifiedcredentials.com/uthsc and enter code VWWXF-88939 to initiate the Student Background Check.
- The students will access the website and electronically complete the online process
for initiating the background screening and following the directions, including:
- Posting his/her biographical information for the past seven years,
- Electronically signing the "Disclosure & Authority to release Information" Form, and
- Making payment by credit card or PayPal.
- The order will subsequently be processed by the private company. The Company will:
- Manually enter data to request county criminal searches based on the past seven years of residency and ID Plus search results, OIG, Tennessee Abuse Registry, and verification of licensure, Certification or Designation, and employment verification,
- Complete the background check,
- Compare and note any discrepant information,
- Deliver the reports as agreed upon completion.
- A summary report will be sent to UTHSC displaying only the following limited information:
- The student's demographic information,
- The type of verification ordered,
- Color coded: GREEN = No discrepancies, YELLOW = Pending or undetermined records, and RED = Convictions on criminal searches or disqualifying results on all other verifications. (Details regarding the background check will not be displayed).
- The only fully detailed copy of the report will be delivered directly to the student electronically.
- When the summary report is coded GREEN, UTHSC will add that information to the students file and notify the students healthcare site that the student has received a clear (Green) rating from the private company. If the health care site requires additional information or investigations, either UTHSC or the healthcare site will notify the student.
Challenged Results
- Students who question the accuracy of the report should immediately send a brief written statement as to the area they believe to be incorrect to the private company that performed the CBC,
- Re-verification will be made if the company determines that reasonable grounds exist and that the request is not frivolous or irrelevant,
- If parts of the report are deleted or changed because of re-verification, UTHSC and the student will receive a corrected report,
- If the student does not challenge the RED or YELLOW results from the private company that conducted the CBC and when the CBC findings are such that the student does not meet the healthcare site's CBC requirement, UTHSC enrollment and or participation in all clinical rotations may be denied.
Notification from UTHSC that a prospective student is denied enrollment or a currently enrolled student is denied participation in clinical rotations due to CBC findings will be notified by certified letter from the appropriate Dean (Academic or Student Affairs) of the respective college explaining why the student cannot matriculate or continue in the program.
All disputes pertaining to the CBC findings must be communicated in writing directly to the private company that conducted the CBC.
Adverse Response
A "RED" or a "YELLOW" code on a summary report may result in the following action:
The Associate Dean for Student Affairs of the respective UTHSC college will notify the student by telephone and in writing that the student must schedule an appointment to review the results of his/her background check. It will be necessary for the student to bring the complete, detailed copy of the report and all correspondence from the private company that conducted the CBC to the appointment. The student and the Academic and/or the Associate Dean will meet to solicit additional information or appropriate explanation of the code.
