Fond Fiesta Bowl memories; more Designated Reads
• As our commenters will surely attest, we are in the wrong line of work. The Outback Bowl CEO made $400,000 in 2002 and more than $750,000 in 2010. If you weren't sure that you're doing your career wrong when former Fiesta Bowl CEO John Junker's spending habits were publicized, you're really sure now. (Again: Can we get a bowl going? The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl is listed here as a "second-tier bowl"; the Papajohns.com Bowl was a thing for multiple seasons. Scratching our way into some as-yet unimagined fifth tier of postseason action can't be that hard. Gather up any Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee State players and coaches you can find and meet us on a municipal field in Florida to be named later.)
• Pine box? More like takeout box! Amirite? [crickets] So here's this story about Tommy Tuberville literally and actually ditching Texas Tech recruits at a restaurant the night he accepted the Cincinnati job, and one of them got downright poetical about it: "We still had a good time at night, but it was crazy how he just got up and left out of nowhere and left people in the dark and in the shadow."
• Speaking of gobs and gobs of money. Brett "Sources" McMurphy on the playoff pie: "During the 12-year contract for college football's new playoff format, the nation's five power conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC) will earn an average of nearly $75 million more per year than the smaller leagues known as the 'group of five.'"
• Coach-firin'-and-hirin' follies, cont'd. Wisconsin defensive coordinator Chris Ash will follow Bret Bielema to Arkansas, but he is remaining with the Badgers through the Rose Bowl … San Jose State defensive coordinator Kent Baer will serve as interim head coach for the Spartans' appearance in the Military Bowl … and Barry Alvarez will collect a decent day's wages while valiantly striding the sidelines in Pasadena.
• Roster blotter. All-ACC edition! Clemson's Martavis Bryant will miss the Chick-fil-A Bowl due to academic concerns … Miami's Thomas Finnie has been arrested on theft charges and is suspended indefinitely … and Duke's Chris Tavarez would rather be a Wizard of Waverly Place than a Blue Devil.
• Schedule matters. Behold the 2013 Big East schedule, all official and everything, at least until the next team abandons ship.
• Tweet of the day. Real talk: This happens to us all the time, mostly when we are wearing Fighting Okra gear.
If you are wearing a shirt from a D-1 school, strangers will speak to you as if you are the AD of that school. #southeastcustoms

7 Foods that is Rich in Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Written By Mandy Seay For QuickEasyFit
People everywhere are aware of the importance of omega-3 fats. These essential fats are considered to be vital for metabolism in the human body. Fatty acids like EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid); DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ALA (α-linolenic acid) have been concluded as being the three major forms of omega-3 fats. These fats have proven to be highly helpful in relieving muscle inflammation within the body.
The problem with Omega-3 fats is that your body can't synthesize them. Hence these fats have to be consumed through food sources like fish, nuts and dairy etc. Regular intake of omega-3s can help boost immunity, balancing brain function and heart health. These fatty acids also provide other benefits like improved vision, stronger joints and a clear skin.
Dieticians and health experts have recommended consuming a thousand milligrams of DHA along with EPA every day.
Here is a list of foods that can be considered as the best source for obtaining omega-3 fats.

Anti-israel articles in respected magazine Economist. Very disturbing. Critical of 1967 War.
Anti-israel articles in respected magazine Economist. Very disturbing. Critical of 1967 War.
I always thought the economist, a "conservative" British rag, was anti-Israeli. To the core. You will scarcely find a high brow paper in the UK that will give us fair treatment, much less recognition of actual and historic wrongs.
And Liberals hate The Economist because they were initially pro Bush.
The criticized Venezuela, Cuba, Zimbabwe. That's some beauty contest.
I haven't read the article, but doubt the Economist was fair in their assessment. And let's be clear here--libel and slander, and criticism are not the same thing.
Yeah, fortunately they seem to have got it right this time around - somebody must have had a quiet word
The economist is pro palestinian and anti Israel like so many others.
That just proves what I've been saying all along - there must be some sort of overall network linking all of this. How could all these organisations with completely different aims and political ideologies be united on opposition to Israel? It's not like anti-semitism is that widespread here in Britain - there aren't many Jews here, anyway - and anyway, it's not like Israel is doing anything wrong or anything.
Somebody needs to make a list of Palestinians working for the media...

900 San Ysidro Ln, Montecito, CA | Directions 9310834.446889 -119.623407
Monday - Sunday: 6:00pm - 10:00pm
Amazing ambiance – Ambiance was fantastic- both the outside patio (which has heat lamps) and the indoor dining room feels like an intimate, romantic, mountain escape. The food was good, some dishes better than others. My scallops were so so, my husband's steak was excellent.
Hi-jacked dinner – So my wife and I take our daughter to the much raved about Stone House to celebrate her 23rd birthday. Beautiful setting on a spectacular evening with a nice table. What could go wrong? Plenty. Seated, ordered a bottle of wine. The wine arrived and our daughter decided to order a beer. The waiter disappears..well sorta..he begins a nearly 15 minute conversation with the young couple at the table next to us. Finally, some one comes to our assistance. Gets our daughter her beer and we are finally able to give our food orders. My wife and I have just recently returned from a week's stay in NYC where we ate at a series of outstanding restaurants. Never ignored by a rude waiter in NYC where that is suppose to be a common event. Food at the Stone House was well presented and some of it nice. The majority of our dishes were heavily salted. In addition to be ignored and the mediocre food we had the wrong orders presented to us. I had no napkin, no plate. I've read the reviews of this resort and most be people rave about it. Would I give this place another chance..my goodness no..not at those prices! Have a cocktail and go somewhere else.
Magical – If I could stay at one hotel in Santa Barbara for a weekend this might be it. It's just beautiful. It's very old world and rustic too.
World Class – We have traveled far and wide, but this little gem is the cream of the crop.
We stayed there for a few nights when our house was being remodeled, it was a bit of a treat, and has become a yearly one now for some time.
Personal stationary and chocolates, outdoor jacuzzi,amazing food.This place is to die for!!
San Ysidro is Under Construction – True weekends are quite. This is place is under major construction with plenty of noise during the weekdays. The constuction starts around 8:00 AM and goes until 6:00 PM, Monday-Friday. There are bull-dozers and large earth movers. The restaurant is not open and no one would give me a date when it will open. Also there is no room service, which is way to bad considering you are in this nice room and you have to get dressed and walk to a less than equal building down the hill. It is only a sub-par continetal breakfast. The average rates are hovering around $1,295 for a good room, some around $1,000 and old room for about $700. We were told that another constuction phase will begin in the fall of 2006 and last into late 2007. Until then, try Montage or Bel-Air, unless you don't mind construction noise.
Luxury unites with rustic beauty at this historic ranch. – The Scene
This property is more of a retreat than a resort, and it's certainly more luxurious than the term "ranch" implies. Its sprinkling of cottages populate a park-like rural setting on 500 acres tucked into the foothills above Montecito, home to numerous upscale shops and restaurants.
The Details
It's easy to see why the young, newly-rich-and-famous come here. There's a wonderful country feel to the cottages, which include decks, outdoor hot tubs and wood-burning fireplaces. If you have the big bucks, you can sleep in the two-bedroom cottage where Jackie and JFK honeymooned and where today's Hollywood stars escape to get in touch with nature. Along with peace and quiet, guests will find tennis courts, a spa, acres of flowering gardens and two superb restaurants, Plow & Angel Bistro, and Stonehouse, which is located in a 150-year-old stone building.
A Little Piece of Heaven – Stayed here a few month's ago with my husband and 2 small dogs. It's beautiful, serene, and so relaxing. The staff was very courteous and attentive and they treated our dogs as well as they treated us. We enjoyed taking walks around the grounds. The pool, tennis courts, and small workout room were nice and secluded away from the cottages. The cottages were absolutely adorable with the most comfortable bed. They are also very spacious with nice amenities. If you have dogs and love to travel with them, this is a great place to stay. They have nearby hiking trails that your four-legged friends will love. The croquet lawn and small playground for kids was also a nice touch and I love how they name all of their cottages after some kind of flower or plant - that was really cute.
rustic elegance – Cottages tucked away from the busy life of Santa Barbara. A relaxing and romantic spot.
Oo, la la – Just up the road from Oprah and a gazillion other celebrities who have made Montecito home, this is an amazing retreat. Expensive, but worth evert penny.

My son likes 4 oz of formula every 2-4 hours. The Dr. said that he is healthy...but I need to rest sometimes and he just wants to eat. Is he eating too many times?
my son is alil over 8weeks and he is eatng 6oz about every 4 to 5 hrs sleeps threw he night we puthim down bout 930 and sometimes he fusses but we just hold him and hen he falls to sleep he will this till at least 6am today he slept to 7 just all bout routine we started feeding him every 4hrs fom the start even in the hospital which helped alot. try giving him more formula threwout the day but no moe then 1/4 ounces at a time see how he takes it for a few days if he does good bump it up again.
How old is he? This is a normal pattern of eating for a newborn through the first few months or so.
As they get older, their digestive systems mature and their stomachs get bigger, they can handle more ounces at one time and the length between feedings increases.
My daughter is 4 mos old and still eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. She takes 4 to 5 oz each bottle. She never goes longer than 3 hrs unless she's taking an unusually long nap, but that's very rare. She usually sleeps thru the night on this amount. She rarely takes more than 5 oz at a time so she eats more frequently. I've tried to give her more at one time to stretch out her feeding times but she refuses to drink more and if she does she usually spits up a lot. Maybe her digestive system just isn't big enough yet. That may be the same with your baby.
That sounds fairly normal for a newborn; if he is older it may be he is really interested in spending time with your more than actually eating...
It sounds like you are breastfeeding, if you are and need a break supplementing with formula can really help give you the break you want as well.

CLEVELAND - If you blinked you missed it.
The Central Michigan women's basketball team forced a season-high 34 turnovers and went on a 32-3 run in the first half to defeat No. 5 Bowling Green in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament Thursday afternoon, 81-48.
The Chippewas (19-11) came out of the gates a bit slow and even went behind by two, 7-5, at the 15:40 mark of the first half, but that marked their only deficit of the game and it didn't last long.
After a layup by sophomore Crystal Bradford tied the game just 13 seconds later, the Chippewas promptly went on to score 32 of the game's next 35 points, holding the Falcons (22-10) to just one field goal over the next 11:05 of the contest. The run gave them a 37-10 lead with 5:37 to play in the first half.
Bradford started the stretch with five-straight points, but it was the Maroon and Gold's defense that fueled the run as they forced 14 turnovers and converted them into 15 points.
Tickets for Friday's noon semifinal game versus Toledo are available inside the arena turnstiles at the CMU table in the MAC Winners Circle (located directly in front of the CAVS team store.)
Bowling Green freshman Bailey Cairnduff was the only Falcon to knock down a shot during the run as the Falcons went 1-for-11 during the stretch and twice were held without an attempt for stretches longer than two minutes.
The Falcons were able to slightly cut into the CMU lead with a 14-3 run that closed the half as the teams went to the break with the Chippewas in front, 40-24.
The trends continued out of the break for the Chippewas as they forced a turnover on Bowling Green's first possession and went on to outscore the Falcons 23-8 in the first 8:33 of the second half to claim a 31-point advantage, 63-32.
The Chippewas ended the afternoon with 39 points off the 34 BG turnovers and clicked on all cylinders as they knocked down 10-of-28 (35.7 percent) from long range and 17-of-19 (89.5 percent) at the line.
Bradford led the Chippewas with a game-high 23 points and four steals, while senior Brandie Baker scored 14 points and dished out a season-high eight assists. Senior Jessica Schroll chipped in with 10 points.
Senior Jalisa Olive and junior Taylor Johnson each had eight points and four steals.

- About Deakin
Maria Jose Franco Haruna Yanai Marjolein Benda Maria Del Pillar Bonilla Takayoshi Nagai
"Two years ago, I changed my job in Japan, which made it necessary for me to know how to speak, read and write English.
I started looking for an opportunity to learn English quickly. I came to Melbourne and Deakin University, and I've been here for six months since. The main reason for my coming to Australia was to improve my English skills and to make as many new friends as I could.
I have been very fortunate in being able to have good teachers and to meet many good friends here. This includes not only my Deakin friends but my soccer team-mates in Melbourne and others as well. My friends often help me and give me support while I'm here. My time here in Australia would have been impossible without them."

Economic downturn
Regarding "Rocking chair money." I have worked in a retail store for many years and it's usually much younger women and men with children who use Link cards. Most times not on necessities. The economic downturn has hit this group hard and I hope very soon jobs will be open for them.
Cause and effect
This is a newsflash for all the Democrats who blame Bush for this recession. A former member of the Clinton administration admits that the foundation for this recession is the repeal of the the Banking Act of 1933 or the Glass-Steagall Act. This allowed banking practices that were irresponsible. Clinton's former Treasury Secretary Rubin left the administration after the regulations were repealed and went on to head Citigroup where he was paid $124 million. He also asked for the bail out of Enron and subsequently the multimillion dollar bail out of Citigroup. Democrats, learn what cause and effect is.
Falling apart
Why are we so worried about China dropping a bomb on us? They can't even make a piece of clothing to sell over here that won't fall apart.
That's rich
Do you realize what the rich do with their money? They support various charities, help build hospitals, donate to universities, colleges and start businesses. What does the government do with the money it takes in or borrows? Think about it, then vote Nov. 6.
Smilin' Joe
The media has Joe Biden smiling, but they have it all wrong. Joe Biden knows what a joke the Obama administration is and he was giving secret signals to the American people. This was supposed to be a serious debate.
Rude Joe
I can't believe how rude Joe Biden was during the debate with Paul Ryan. He's normally a nice man and a gentleman. The debate showed a side of him that I've never seem before. How anyone can think that he won that debate is beyond me.
Sharp Joe
I watched the debate between Vice President Biden and Paul Ryan, and the vice president was very sharp. He didn't look like a tired old man. Is that the worst thing he did or was it that he appeared much more knowledgeable then the younger Ryan. It looked to me like Biden knows what is at stake and tried to get his message across to the listeners. I believe the vice president is a long ways from being tired out. He enjoys what he does.
Bible class
When a wise person debates with a fool, the fool rages and laughs and there's no peace and quiet. Proverbs 29:9.
Both parties
I'll be so glad when the upcoming election is over. Why are people under the impression that I'm interested in their political beliefs? You complainers of both parties are wasting your time. You will not influence my vote.
Cyr's commentary
Hooray for Arthur I. Cyr's article Oct. 12 on Turkey's pivotal role. I look forward to his articles and commentary every week in The News-Sun. He's OK. Thanks, Arthur.
Property taxes
No increase of property taxes in Waukegan! No, no, no.
GM bailout
Concerning the TOTC item "Stock saved." If Obama wins a second term he'll have to bail out GM again. GM is losing market share and is unable to build cars that are competitive in the U.S. The government owns 26 percent of GM and you need $53 a share to break even on the bailout. GM stock closed at $20.21 a share recently, which left taxpayers holding $10.1 billion worth of stock which is sitting on a loss of $16.4 billion. The person needs to do their homework.
Hedge funds
The other night, Mr. Biden made derogatory comments about hedge funds not being small businesses. Hedge funds are small businesses. They hire stockbrokers, secretaries, clerks and mail people. They also hire lawyers to protect themselves from people like Mr. Biden. The people in small businesses pay his salary. If it wasn't for us, he'd be out on the street.
Held hostage
Allowing teachers to strike in Illinois was perhaps some of the worst legislation ever adopted. These union members hold parents and students hostage while always asking for more and more. And it's for the kids? That's just plain Big Brother doublespeak.
Debate moderation
Can't they find anyone bipartisan to moderate these debates? Every time Paul Ryan tried to rebut what Joe Biden said, Ms. Raddatz would cut him off and change the subject.

Hey guys,
This is rather a n00bish question for many of you who are already in-the-know about the Iphone, but here goes.
My birthday is coming around the corner and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an Iphone. Problem is, i've really lost track of whether recent firmwares are activatable and unlockable.
So here the question: If I go this Sunday to buy and Iphone from the apple store, will I be able to activate and then unlock the phone and avoid the god-awful contract?
Help appreciated!
Thanks, Chris.

Henry savours comeback goal
Thierry Henry savoured the feeling of scoring a goal for Arsenal as a Gunners fan after coming off the bench to send them past Leeds and into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Frenchman came on midway through the second half at the Emirates for his second Arsenal debut and proved to be the matchwinner with the only goal of the game.
"It's kind of weird," he told ESPN.
"I came back from holiday 15 days ago. I never thought I was going to play for Arsenal again or score a winner.
"I don't know what to say. I love the club and I hope I can do more.
"I hope it won't be the last one. The feeling I had when I scored was amazing.
"I rejoined the club as a fan; before I wasn't. Scoring a goal when you support the team, now I know how some of the guys who played for Liverpool or Man United or Chelsea felt when they scored a goal for the club they support.
"With one opportunity, it's very important, you don't know if you'll have a second. You have to make sure you take it. I took it well."
Henry may have been away from England since 2007 but he continued where he left off against Leeds, scoring his 12th goal in as many games against the Elland Road side.
"I didn't even think about that but I think I will always remember tonight," he said.
"When it comes to Arsenal something happens with me, sometimes in a bad way but most of the time in history in a good way."
On being named man of the match, he added: "I think it's a joke, but I'll take it."

Action research project
Certificate in peacebuilding
Curriculum and Degree Information
Our program is for the teacher practitioner. We'll provide you with opportunities for professional growth and personal development, and integrate constructivist theory with faith and learning applications. We'll focus on these core areas of teacher development:
- peacebuilding and conflict resolution
- cultures of change
- social and ethical issues
- action research in educational settings
The basics
You'll take 36 semester hours, which includes a required core of 12 hours, a concentration area of 21 hours and 3 hours of reflective practice in the form of action research.
Core courses (12 hours)
Required by all candidates, this core emphasizes:
- examining peace and justice issues within educational environments
- collaborating with teachers and administrators to establish constructivist environments
- understanding social and ethical issues which inform change and
- engaging in action research within the classroom in order to foster more effective instruction.
Program core and concentration area courses provide a rich context for identifying a significant question to explore in EDCC 551 Action Research in Educational Settings.
[Recommended early in program]
- EDCC 501 Creating Cultures of Change (3 hrs.)
- EDCC 521 Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution (3 hrs.)
- EDCC 531 Social & Ethical Issues in Education (3 hrs.)
[Recommended later in program]
- EDCC 551 Action Research in Educational Settings (3 hrs.) (Prerequisite: Admission to Candidacy)
Course requirements may change as the program evolves.
Concentration areas (21 hours)
It is in this component of the program that the practitioner begins to specialize in one of three following concentration areas.
1. Literacy Agent
Practitioners concentrate on the study of literacy in a broader sense than traditionally encountered in schools of the past. Literacy is approached beyond reading and writing into integrated approaches for the development of communication, thought and interpersonal interaction. Emphasis is placed upon literacy programs from emergent to adult, integrated literacy instruction, literacy in community and family arenas and classroom assessment of literacy.
- Literacy Agent emphasis has six hours of elective options. Review the literacy agent curriculum
- Reading Specialist: Licensure as a reading specialist may be obtained with additional course work and a clinical practicum.
2. Diverse Needs Strategist
Practitioners concentrate on special needs of diverse populations, with further focus in one of four areas of emphasis:
- Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) for MA degree and initial teaching license
- Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) for MA degree and add-on endorsement
- At-Risk Populations
- Special Education
This component contains a common core of courses that address language/literacy competence with diverse populations, intervention strategies for diverse learners, and developing leadership skills in teaming, collaboration and consultation with parents, school and community social agencies. In Virginia, initial teaching licensure is available in TESL with additional course work and a supervised practicum. Review the diverse needs strategist curriculum
3. Curriculum & Instruction Practitioner
This component provides a course of study for elementary, middle or high school practitioners to enhance existing skills and meet the challenges found in today's schools.
Emphasis is placed upon adapting and designing curriculum for diverse populations, designing integrated interdisciplinary instruction, upgrading professional knowledge in recent research in current issues, teaming with school and community professionals and enhancing specific professional and concentration area competencies. Participants may choose one of three routes toward completion of this concentration area: Elementary School Emphasis, Middle School Emphasis or High School Emphasis. Review the curriculum and instruction practitioner curriculum
Action research as reflective practice (3 hours)
Your program will end with an action research product designed by the candidate in collaboration with an academic mentor. Action Research Projects (EDPC 611) take a variety of formats: curriculum restructuring projects, staff development projects, research for public policy change, research for publication, etc. Final projects are presented and approved by the mentor.
Certificate in peacebuilding
As internal recognition, we also offer a graduate certificate in peacebuilding and conflict transformation in educational settings for students who have obtained a focused area of related coursework.

From hangnails to dry knuckles, your hands are subject to a whole slew of issues. Luckily, this intense salve provides long-lasting relief to delicate, over-worked hands. Formulated with over ten natural oils and plant extracts, it penetrates deep beneath your skin's surface, revealing softer skin and revitalized cuticles. Plus, we love how all its ingredients are ethically sourced.
My hands and cuticles get WAY DRY in the Winter - thus far, this is the best product I've ever used. Absolutely love it and it's not sticky!
I use this at night mainly because once you put it on it is greasy and you can't really touch anything else for awhile! It does help with the dry skin though - just wish it wasn't so greasy!
I have very dry and cracked cuticles and putting this on before bed really helps. It is a little greasy so you have to put it on RIGHT before you go to sleep. Great fresh smell to go to bed to.
Love this product, I use it all the time on my cuticles, hands and elbows and it smells great! Defintiely recommend this to anyone. Did not get it as sample, just read the reviews and gave it a try and happy I did!
This stuff is super effective and doesn't overwhelm you with fragrance. I would definitely recommend keeping it in a baggie inside of your purse if you live in a warmer climate.
Love all J.R. Watkins products. Great brand and great products that really work. The smell is not over whelming and is very nice and it does wonders for not just the cuticle but also as a hand moisturizer.
This hand and cuticle salve is amazing. I have had had problems with dry hands, excema, and dry cuticles. My hands are doing so much better after using this and it helps my excema to not come out full force. Thanks for sending me a sample!
I ordered this in the lavender scent and it is amazing! I've always used Burt's Bees cuticle salve but saw this so I thought I would try it out. It works great! And it soaked in to my hands very quickly. Def a re purchase!
I agree with others that it was greasy. A little goes a long way! But it did seem like it helped the dry, chapped skin I had on my hands from the winter.
This line of products are amazing! It has a smooth texture and a spa like feel! The lemon smell is fabulous! Got as a gift!

Between 4 and 10 a.m., 19 vehicle accidents were investigated, 17 slides-offs or spin-outs were reported and the Department of Public Safety's Communications Center fielded 298 phone calls.
Only a couple of the accidents had injuries reported and those were either self-reported or minor in nature. Driving too fast for conditions was the main factor in those events.
With another band of winter-like weather forecast for the region this week, motorists can minimize their chance of an accident by adjusting their driving habits and allowing more commute time.
In an effort to maximize visibility, drivers should remove all snow from the windshield, side mirrors, rear window, both tail lights and rear license plate before driving.
Commuters who see a stranded motorist or other roadway emergency are encouraged to dial *NHP from a cell phone so the closest trooper will be dispatched.

Update August 1, 2013
The drag strip is seeing more action this week as the paving crew is moving in! Looking forward to seeing the finished product
July 13th saw the inagural CARs Shoot Out. Great attendance at the event - the stands were full, and over 120 cars registered. Unfortunately Mother Nature decided everyone was having too much fun and turned the taps on as the cars were getting ready to make their second passes.
A great big thank you to all of the drivers, volunteers, track staff, and fans that turned out to kick off our drags with a whole lot of burned rubber! Also a huge thank you to Southside Dodge Chrysler Jeep and RV Centre for stepping up as the sponsor for the Shoot Out.
https://www.facebook.com/caraceways/photos has some great shots of all the action - for those of you that aren't Facebook fans, images will be uploaded to our galleries here as well in the near future.
Shootouts have been postponed until Sunday July 10 due to poor weather conditions. Registration, practice and race times remain the same for Sunday's event.
Drag Strip Construction Update - January 2012
2011 was a very productive year for the CAR Drag Strip, thanks to the hard work of many individuals the drag strip base work has been completed. The drag strip elevations are above engineer design and significant work has been completed to expand and enhance the drainage to the entire facility. In the spring we'll all have our fingers crossed as the snow melts confirming correct water run-off grades. Afterwards the final seal can be put on the base work as the committee engages local companies to provide the finish paving and concrete work! If all goes according to plan we should be having our annual shoot-outs on the 1/4 mile drag strip in July.
Many thanks goes out to everyone involved in the design and construction of our 1/4 mile drag strip.

Tableau Software (DATA) priced its IPO at the NYSE at $31. The initial price talk was $23-$26, then it went up to $28-$30, before pricing at $31.
Wait, there's more: the initial offering of 7.2 million shares was upped to 8.2 million shares. So instead of pricing 7.2 million shares at $24 (the midrange) and raising $172.8 million, they price 8.2 million at $31, raising $254 million.
(Read More: Fed's Williams Gets Markets Moving)
Not bad, eh? A software company? It's simple: Big Data. It's the new magic word, like "cloud computing" was a year ago. Their software allows customers to analyze large data sets using proprietary drag and drop commands. The company's description of what it does is refreshingly free of a lot of the jargon terms that characterize so many company descriptors. They help people see and understand data, to quickly analyze, visualize and share information. Get it? And no leveraged buyout here.
1) A bull gets more bullish. "This has been a better bull market than we expected," said Thomas Lee at JPMorgan getting even more bullish...raising his year end target for the S&P 500 to 1,715 from 1,580. This is 14.7 times his 2014 EPS target of $117. He is particularly bullish on Technology, Healthcare, and Financials.
But why? Investors are deeply suspicious of the rally, and Lee acknowledged this: "To be incrementally constructive on equities, investors ultimately have to expect stronger economic growth-at least compared to consensus expectations."
(Read More: Market Flashes Overbought Signals)
Lee sees clues the economy is improving in the recent outperformance of Semiconductors and Transports, and the steepening of the 10 year vs. 30 year yield curve: "These historically have been reliable market indicators of improving growth," he said.
He also believes market gains will help with an acceleration in consumer spending.
(Read More: Bucking the Trend: Airline Stocks Soar)
What could go wrong? The greatest risk is that the market loses confidence in the Fed, which he readily acknowledged.
2) China gained 1.4 percent overnight on speculation that China's leadership was preparing economic reform measures that would be unveiled later in the year, rather than new stimulus measures.
3) Dollar stronger again as European debt yields continue dropping like a rock...German 10-year yields are at 1.3 percent (!), Italian at 3.92 percent.

"The issue we're having is nobody's ever had a 14-team league. So we really don't know the answer. So what's the best way to do it."
Well, the SEC has never had a 14 team league, but the Big East played basketball with 14 for several years. Why not look at what they did? And didn't the SEC used to have 13 before Tulane, Sewanee, and GT bailed out? Why not check the history books? Why do people make these things harder than they have to be? lol

A rack is a story in itself! First, can I recommend a Blu-ray without bars? Bikini Destinations! Your girlfriend thinks your crazy now? Wait till you tell her it's the only Blu-ray you have that has no bars!
Seriously, I have thought about getting a rack. Then I did some measurements and discovered I could keep the same cabinetry with the 60" Elite. And it still comes in handy to hide all the DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, VHSs and Laserdiscs and still has room for lots of accessories. Those CWD cabinets were designed for electronics. Another words, nice large vents for heat to escape and lots of room for wires to go in and out. Unfortunately, (as far as I know) they stopped making furniture for home theater equipment. The two cabinets on the outer edges have six drawers each. And the center cabinet that holds the screen (is very strong) and has two doors with shelves with lots of vertical space...good for holding records and Laserdisc. Plus I think it has a grand look to it. Not only that, you would not believe the money dumped into it!
If I were to look at a rack, I was thinking I could do that once I get a screen that's so wide, that I would not be able to put all my electronics around it. I'm sure I'd also have to buy new cabinets for the new look that would hold all the video software.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, but regardless of what weather wisdom the land-beaver chooses to share with us, it still wouldn't hurt to keep our warm winter headgears handy for at least the next six weeks. From the more common winter items like trapper hats and beanies, to the less common winter headgears like caps and cloche hats, we rounded up our favorite designer hats for winter on a budget, courtesy of Bluefly's sale section. At under $50, you'll have plenty more to spare for hot cocoas in case the groundhog decides to retreat to its burrow. Now if only it can also predict other useful tips, like what angle to wear winter hats to avoid the ensuing hat hair. (Can we get that funded? Or get the idea patented, at least? We claim first dibs on it.)
BTW, Bluefly has added even MORE items to the thousands of designer goods currently on sale at up to 80% off. The store's time-honored, semi-annual Blue Sale would be wrapping up soon, so check out their virtual shelves before the offer expires!

Newcastle Falcons hooker Scott Lawson says he is ready to return to face his former club London Irish four months after leaving.
Lawson made his Falcons debut in the defeat to Brive last weekend after a broken thumb picked up in pre-season kept him out of action for the opening games of the season.
"The Brive game was great to get ready for the bread and butter of the league and Irish will be difficult," Lawson told the BBC.
"Obviously we didn't get the result we wanted but away games in France always have a fantastic atmosphere so it's good experience for the lads that played."
Newcastle head into this weekend's round of fixtures level on points with Irish, Gloucester and London Wasps, with seven points separating them and bottom side Worcester Warrirors.
Irish, under Director of Rugby Brian Smith, have undergone a personnel overhaul since Lawson left the Madejski, and the Scotland international knows his new side will face a tough test.
"I know how hard a game Irish will be because they're a lot different to the squad I was a part of that really struggled," added Lawson.
"They've evolved the playing squad - not unlike Newcastle have since relegation [in 2012].
"Now they are a solid unit with a very strong backbone, especially in the back row.
"They've realised how important it is to be tough in this league and have gritted points out without playing well."

"We have received and continue to receive complaints from Nevada businesses about this and other solicitations," Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller said in a press release. "Many come with pre-filled secretary of state forms, which give the appearance that they may be associated with or approved by the secretary of state. They are not. These solicitations often request that the business sign a pre-filled, attached form, send it to the solicitor and they will make sure the filing is processed, the business not knowing that they may have unwittingly changed their registered agent or other information and paid excess fees to do so.
"There are statutes in place to address this kind of activity," Miller continued in the release. "My office is empowered to bring action against someone acting as a registered agent if they have engaged in conduct that was intended to defraud or deceive. If in fact these individuals are engaging in deceptive trade practices, it could result in restraining orders and civil penalties against the offenders. In the meantime, we want to make sure Nevada businesses are aware that these are not official secretary of state notices and that they should exercise caution when they receive such a notice. Read everything before signing and sending any forms and fees to someone other than the secretary of state or their current registered agent."
Nevada businesses are encouraged to check their status by using the secretary of state's free online business search at http://nvsos.gov to ensure that they are in good standing and that the information on record is correct. Those businesses in default status can use the online services to file their annual list and regain active status. Those in revoked status must file for reinstatement with a paper filing in the office. The forms necessary are online at http://nvsos.gov.

Of the many fascinating documents held in the 'Our Americas' Archive Partnership (a digital archive collaboration on the hemispheric Americas), José Martí's 1893 letter to the Board of Advisors for Key West stands out as particularly special. This observation is borne out by the fact that the archive itself is named after one of Martí's most famous essays. He published "Our America" in 1891, after years of residence in the United States. A Cuban exile, he spent the entirety of his adult life agitating for Cuban independence from Spanish imperial power. During that time he produced an impressive body of work, including numerous poems, essays, and even a serialized novel. Returning to Cuba in order to participate in an armed insurgency, he died in 1895 on the battlefield at the hands of Spanish colonial forces. He is regarded now as a founding father of Cuban nationalism as well as an early participant in the search for a broader Latin American identity. His centrality to Latin American studies goes without question, while his writings have positioned him as a crucial figure within both history and literature classrooms concerned with the Americas. Christopher Abel's biography, José Martí: Revolutionary Democrat, provides a useful analysis of both his life and his legacy (bibliographical information provided at end of module).
|José Martí
Writing under the authority of the Delegation of the Cuban Revolutionary Party (CRP), which he helped found, Martí penned this 1893 letter (which is held at Rice University) in an attempt to raise funds for the newspaper El Yara, published in Key West by a group of Cuban exiles. He spent the final years before his death traveling throughout the United States, Central America, and the Caribbean, garnering support (financial and otherwise) for the procurement of Cuban sovereignty. Moreover, he bore an especially close relationship with the Cuban community in Key West, as detailed by C. Neale Ronning in José Martí and the Émigré Colony in Key West. Donating a substantial sum from the coffers of the CRP, Martí goes on in the letter to ask that the public recognize the necessity for El Yara and publications like it to remain solvent. He was acutely aware of the difficulties inherent in maintaining a daily paper, his own Patria having served for years as a vehicle for Cuban exiles and expatriates wishing to speak out against the injustices in their home country. The letter reveals a deep faith in the power of newspapers to bond a community together and to renew constantly the revolutionary drive: "This resolution must account for the costs and difficulties of running a strictly honorable newspaper, the only Cuban paper which, fueled with nothing more than the fervent patriotism of its editor, provides emigrants with the voice of unity, and Cuba with the voice of the revolution everyday. Do not be afraid of honoring those who merit it!"
In his thoroughgoing work, Writing to Cuba: Filibustering and Cuban Exiles in the United States, Rodrigo Lazo chronicles the publication of several Spanish- and English-language newspapers by Cuban exiles living in the U.S. While Martí serves as a central figure for Lazo's investigations, it turns out there were a number of Cubans performing similar functions. Taking novels and other forms of writing under consideration as well, Lazo traces the various strategies that the exiles employed in order to voice their dissatisfaction with Spanish dominion, utilizing the U.S.'s own founding revolutionary rhetoric in order to agitate for Cuban freedom. One important point that Lazo makes, among many, concerns the diversity of the audience for these publications. They were written, of course, for the Cuban exile community scattered across the U.S., but that was only one faction to be considered. These publications would also find their way into Cuba and into the hands of the colonized population there. Furthermore, many of these authors wrote with an eye toward garnering the support of European and American audiences. As Lazo smartly unfolds, the rhetorical strategies would shift depending upon which audience was being engaged and to what end.
Martí, in particular, exhibited a fraught relationship with the U.S. He recognized that the U.S., with its vast resources, could serve as a meaningful ally in the fight against Spanish imperial dominion. However, he was disturbed by the continued talk of Cuban annexation to the U.S., a conversation which had been ongoing since at least the 1850s. Though he vehemently opposed annexation, other Cuban exiles featured in Lazo's book were more open to the possibility as long as it meant freedom from Spain. Capturing perfectly his ambiguous feelings toward the U.S.'s role in Cuba's political future, Martí writes, "This newspaper – as the only daily revolutionary newspaper, printed hour after hour at the very door of Cuba – is printed with the goal of [spreading] continuous words of enthusiasm and criticism [about Cuba] to the Island of Cuba. This latter goal is its most important service, which targets and attacks, without taking a day off, the other newspapers that the Delegation has working on the Island" (see Figure 1). The physical proximity of the U.S. to Cuba makes it an ideal place for the exile community to live, to work, and to publish. Yet this same proximity, from Martí's point of view, gave credence to the possibility that the U.S. would simply usurp Spanish power on the island, leaving Cuba in much the same position as it was before. In "Our America," in addition to his desire for a more unified Latin American politics, Martí expresses an anxiety with regards to the U.S.'s increasing power in the hemisphere that rivals his distrust toward the old European imperial powers.
|Carta de José Martí a los presidentes de las organizaciones de cubanos exiliados en Florida, Marzo 18, 1893
Martí emerges as a writer who challenges the ascription of national identity to literary figures. Though he was born in Cuba, he produced and circulated much of his most notable work within the U.S. A true cosmopolitan, he is a figure who can force students of Latin American studies, American literature, and the history of the Americas to reevaluate their preconceived notions about nation, region, and citizenship. As seen in this letter, he is also a valuable figure for studying the history of U.S.-Cuban relations. To this end, his writing is featured prominently in the collection Latin America and the United States: A Documentary Reader. The letter, like Martí himself, promotes a more hemispherically-minded paradigm for interpreting the Americas. It encourages us to see a series of complex entanglements in lieu of a set of discrete geopolitical entities.

One benefit of the Nets move from the Izod to the Prudential Center comes today as the Nets gather for Thanksgiving dinner in New Jersey. For 24 straight Thanksgivings, the team were on the road. The Meadowlands arena, call it Brendan Byrne, Continental Airlines or Izod, was home this week to an ice show.

Guillen led the Railroaders in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks and charges taken last year on the way to leading Sparks to its first state championship in 70 years.
That left a lot of production to be replaced. The obvious option to do so was Martin Jordan, a starter in his sophomore and junior seasons and second-leading scorer.
Jordan a first team all-state selection a year ago, is doing his best to be the team's do-it-all guy. He always was a good complement to Guillen's scoring, standing behind the arc and letting the 3-pointers rain down. Jordan averaged just under 19 points a game in league play last year.
"He was first team all-state last year, so that says it all. He was one of the best players in the 3A," Sparks co-head coach Mike Jones said.
Jones said the weakest part of Jordan's game is his defense but has worked extremely hard to improve it. The biggest value Jordan brings to the team is his unselfishness and desire to trust in his teammates.
"Martin is a little different than most star players. He's not cocky I guess. Maybe it's his confidence level and he doesn't feel like he needs to be cocky," Jones said. "He gives them trust and shows them he will share the ball. He has to play every position. I don't think there's a facet of our game that he doesn't have something major to do with."
Jones said even though scoring might have meant a lot to Jordan in the past, this year it isn't as important as the team and he will recognize when opponents are keying on him, so he can get his teammates involved.
"A lot of teams put their best defenders on me and I just look for them (my teammates) more to score because it's harder for me," Jordan said. "I have a lot of trust in my team to score and play defense. I do what I can and my teammates step up when they can."
As one of five seniors, Jordan has stepped up as a team leader.
"He's been more vocal this year than I have ever seen him. He started asserting his voice when the stuff with Coach Lee transpired," Jones said. "He really has helped bring the team together vocally. He leads the team in practice everyday in order to keep the energy alive and that was really tough to do over the holidays, but he did a good job."
Jordan would like to play basketball in college, but he hasn't made any plans yet. Right now, he's just focused on trying to lead the Maroon and Gold to a second straight state title and enjoy his final season with his teammates.
"That feeling last year was priceless. To do it two years in a row would be a great feeling, especially to go out like that as a senior would be awesome," Jordan said. "They're a really great group of guys. We all know each other really well. We grew up playing together."

We'd like to file this next list under "Classroom Debates," 'cause some of the most epic arguments of our childhood were a result of this question: Who would win in a fight? How 'bout we raise the stakes a bit on this one? Pick any recognizable characters from anything (comics, movies, other video games, etc.) and put them in the fighting game they'd thrive in. Now that the doo-doo head insults have been yelled and the spit balls have been launched, these ten franchise players made the cut. That's the bell for round one as we count down 10 characters we'd like to see in a fighting game...
