The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office charged Fidel Corfah, 23, of Lawrenceville, Ga., with one count of first-degree assault and two counts of hazing. Corfah was arrested in Jacksonville on Wednesday. He was released Thursday on a $5,000 bond.
Crofah and at least 15 others are accused of taking part in a hazing incident on Nov. 26 2011 that left a former Alpha Phi Alpha pledge, Jason Horton, seriously injured.
A suit filed by Horton in July 2012 states that he was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized for 24 days. The suit also states Horton was made to drink excessive amounts of alcohol, beaten with fists and paddles and hit with multiple objects for more than four hours. The next day, Horton claims in the suit, he bled internally, he vomited blood and his urine was black.
Alpha Phi Alpha was dismissed from JSU after the incident.

After cleaning up several thousand gallons of light crude oil spilled from a damaged vessel, the U.S. Coast Guard reopened a section of the Mississippi River to towboat traffic on Saturday.
"The Coast Guard is no longer actively managing the flow of towboat traffic and we are minimizing the safety zone to a one-mile distance to ensure the safety of response crews still working on the MOC-12 barge," said Capt. William Drelling, Federal On Scene Commander for the Vicksburg oil spill.
The damaged tanker had been transporting a reported 80,000 gallons of light crude oil when it allided with the Vicksburg Rail bridge, breeching the hull of one of the two barges. An estimated 7,000 gallons of crude spilled into the river and the cleanup had a 16 mile stretch of the Mississippi closed to traffic for six days following the January 27th 1:30am allision. No injuries were reported and the damaged barge is being transported to a marine repair facility nearby.

WELLESLEY, Massachusetts -- Police say an emergency room "Doctor of the Year" was drunk and on drugs when she was involved in a dramatic crash caught by a traffic camera in Massachusetts.
In this video, watch the third car back waiting for a light at an intersection. Police say Dr. Kristen Howard was behind the wheel of an SUV that comes out of a parking lot, runs over a grassy area and crashes into the car.
When she was stopped she was wearing scrubs and told police she was on her way to the hospital. Police say they found prescription drugs in her car, which she wrote for herself.

3131 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910936.129470 -115.164968
Neighborhoods: Paradise
Outstanding Chinese Food with Great Ambiance & Service – My cousin and I stopped in on Monday. Neither of us had eaten here although we've eaten at most of the other Wynn/Encore properties. It's considered one of Wynn's casual dining restaurants but there is nothing casual about the food they serve or the service.
The restaurant decor was a nice mix of traditional and contemporary. Waiter was helpful and friendly.
First the soup. Waiter recommended sharing the special shrimp wonton soup. Quite literally the best wontons I've every had. Do not miss it. Order one bowl for a table of 4 (seriously, it's that big).
Then we went with a sichuan prawn dish that was just spicy enough and the prawns were perfect in size and exquisitely prepared. But the winning dish was the assorted barbeque platter, Cantonese Duck, Poached Chicken and normally barbeque pork but we substituted spare ribs. This dish is 26 dollars but just the duck was worth that. The poached chicken was amazing as well and the spare ribs, well lets just say I almost shed a tear when I could not finish the last one.
Of course totally full but we looked at the desert menu and sure enough, there's sliced papaya. Perfect. Papaya is known to aid digestion (which it did) and it was perfectly ripe and totally delicious. All in all a great meal served with style and humor in a lovely atmosphere. 5 stars for sure.
My Favorite Asian Restaurant – Vegas has some incredible restaurants,and Red 8 is definitely in the top for me. My husband and I live in Vegas, and we eat here at least twice a week! I love the ambiance of this lounge/restaurant; it is so beautiful with the red couches and decor, and it is very chill and relaxing. I love the dim sum, and if you like noodles, give the penang style flat rice noodles a shot! Everything I have tried on the menu is fantastic, if you have never tried this place, I would definitely recommend it!
Disappointed, a bit overpriced – a bit overpriced for the food... i had the lunch special of Thai Basil Beef for $18.88 with the spring roll and a dumpling (potsticker). The beef was good but the dumpling and the spring roll were very MEDIOCRE for the price. I was a bit disappointed when one of our two dim sum orders, fried mixed dumplings came cold. Not only was it $6 (double the price of dim sum at a regular Chinese restaurant) but I sent it back and they probably microwaved it hot since it was the same 3 pieces with the one that I had cut in half with my chopstick. The Fried Taro Cake was good but for $6, nothing too SPECIAL. My friend's Chicken Fried Rice tasted like Young Chow chicken fried rice (fried rice without soy sauce)... and for $15... i think that's a lot more than what friend rice should tastes like. Also, $5 for Coke is an outrage!
dissapointed... – Ive been reading really good reviews about this place so when i arrived in vegas I made sure to go , which also seemed convenient since the last coule times i went the wynn was the hotel i never went into. We got there and the bus boys were great they even offered to take our picture without us asking us, but the server seemed cold and distant. Our food arrived really quick I had the bbq pork in maple sauce somehting like that it was good but it was nothing spectacular, i could have gotten something better at chinatown!!! I was in the mood for some dessert but the server took forever to come back to us and mind you there were only 3 groups at the restaurant and there were 4 servers roaming around. I think this place is overpriced for the food quality and service. go to PF chang's if you want a not so chinatown atmosphere but still with good food.
Best pot-stickers in town – We were wandering through the beautiful Wynn Resort and Casino when we found the Red 8. The menu looked good and thesmells were calling us in. I am a fairly fussy eater but I found much that I could enjoy. My wife had no trouble picking out her selections. The food was great and the service was too. The pot-stickers were our favorite. We enjoyed this restaruant so much we went back again 2 nights later. Next time we're in Vegas can you guess one stop that we'll make? The Red 8!
Authentic really! – We dined here because the buffet was a 3 hour wait. I am chinese and I was a little skeptical at first since this is a chinese restaurant in a western establishment. I was hungry and decided to give it a try. When I first saw the menu it had chinese characters so I thought to myself, 'ok maybe it won't be so bad'. For drinks I got the Thai Ice Tea (FYI, it was $5) which was too sweet. We ordered the crab yee mein and the braised beef stew. It was very delicious and most importantly authentic. The food tasted just like the ones you would find in San Gabriel, Alhambra, etc... However, being in Vegas the prices are different. For desert we had mango sago which paked a lot of mango flavor as well as mango pieces. Everything was really delicious.
Great food, excellent service – I have eaten at Red 8 a few times and have always been pleasantly surprised. Very attentive service and everything I have tasted has been excellent. The prices are also pretty reasonable (for The Strip) and the restaurant has longer hours than most of this quality so I would definitely recommend stopping by.
Good eats... – My girlfriend and I went to Red 8 because it was convenient for us since we were staying at the Wynn. We were seated immediately and enjoyed a very good lunch. It was $50 for the two of us which is kinda spendy for lunch but your in Vegas so that's about normal. I recommend the duck with plum sauce and the the tofu pork dish.
Great Taste admidst the hottest casino – It was late at night and every restaurant apart from cafes with long queues in the city of sin was closed, then appeared this gem, smelling just like home cooking in singapore. We had the scallion pancakes, BBQ pork and Pad Thai (oustanding) and it almost reminded me of being at a hawker center back home. Highly recommended.
Great Place!!!!! – To begin with this place looks amazing from outside and in. The restaurant is on a first come first serve basis my husband and I had to wait for about thirty min. which was right about right with the estimated time the hostess had given us. So we had an idea what to expect. Once in the waiter was great he explained to us some of the items on the menu . He recommended the pot stickers and some satays to begin with and for the entree the Mongolian Beef and the chicken phai thai which was delicious as well as their amazing pinapple mojito . Had great service and once we were leaving was said goodbye to which made us felt like we were welcomed! The prices are reasonable. The food comes in a good size serving enough to share for two . Really recommend it!!

Dempsey, United States stunned by Jamaica in World Cup qualifier
Story Highlights
Jamaica earned its first-ever win over the U.S. men's team, ralling to a 2-1 victory
Clint Dempsey scored 35 seconds in, fastest in U.S. World Cup qualifying history
The U.S. must win against Jamaica on Tuesday to stay in good qualifying standing
KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Three thoughts on the United States' 2-1 loss against Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier on Friday:
The U.S.'s lack of width and possession were killers. The Americans were always going to have to deal with the injury-related absences of Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan, but their inability to possess the ball meant that some degree of width in the attack was necessary, and that width wasn't there. The U.S. lineup had four central midfielders, no true wingers and a Kingston trio of defensive-minded mids that included Maurice Edu, Jermaine Jones and Kyle Beckerman. None are especially possession-minded, which raised questions over why we didn't see José Torres and an earlier appearance from Brek Shea. (Some of this loss, as a result, has to go on coach Jurgen Klinsmann.) A bit more defensive organization also might have prevented the lunging tackles by Beckerman and Edu that set up Jamaica's scoring free kicks. But give credit to speedy Jamaica, which rebounded from a first-minute Clint Dempsey goal to get three crucial points.
Dempsey is always money at some point. For a guy who hadn't played a game in nearly three months, Dempsey was ready from the kickoff in a game that few observers (including me) expected he would start. Some good early work after the opening whistle put the ball on the foot of Hérculez Gómez, who was active in the first half, and Dempsey slotted a rebound of Gómez's shot into the net after just 35 seconds -- the fastest goal in U.S. World Cup qualifying history. But the U.S. provided few dangerous scoring chances after that as the hosts gained confidence and momentum. Keep in mind, this was the first time Jamaica has ever beaten the U.S. in 19 games going back to 1988. For a Reggae Boyz team that wants to reach the World Cup for the first time since '98, it was a red-letter day.
The U.S. really needs a win on Tuesday. Losing to Jamaica puts the U.S. in a situation that isn't exactly must-win on Tuesday against the Jamaicans in Columbus, Ohio, but it won't be far from that. If Guatemala sweeps Antigua and Barbuda this week, a U.S. win on Tuesday would put the U.S., Jamaica and Guatemala all on seven points with two games remaining in the group. Only the top two teams advance to the final round of World Cup qualifying next year. The U.S. has the scheduling advantage in the two final games next month -- a home date against Guatemala and a road game at Antigua -- but you don't want to leave it too close in qualifying when one bad call or bad bounce can send you out of the World Cup. Friday's loss in Jamaica makes will make things uncomfortable for Klinsmann's Americans.

Marilyn, as far as I know i have never received a booking from my facebook page either. Although, I do see traffic from my www.Facebook.com/LazyBowenHideaway page to my web site, www.LazyBowenHideaway.com. It is all MORE exposure and one never knows.......and its FREE!!!
Hi Jan
How can you see the traffic move from Facebook to your website? Is there a problem which watches the "crawl"?
I use Statcounter on my Lazy Bowen Hideaway web site. It is FREE http://www.statcounter.com It tells me where the traffic comes from: web address such as VRBO or FACEBOOK, what country, or if they googled and what terms they used, etc. It tells me how many minutes they spent looking at my different pages. and it tells me the "exit" link too. If they exit on my rates page I know they want to spend less. If they continue on to my booking calendar I may have an inquiry.
Here is a screen shot of what Statcounter shows about my web site traffic.
If you are looking for a good way to track your website traffic, Google Analytics is free (http://www.google.com/analytics/) and it will give a ton of info including where your traffic is coming from and what keywords users are typing in to Google.com to find your website.

text: Items 1 to 24 of 36 total 1 / 2 Next View: 12 / 24 / 48 EXCELLENT unit, EXCELLENT performance, EXCELLENT quality By jason c on 4/17/14 jason c would recommend this product to a friend I just received my 150 GPD water saver unit today, and I had it installed and flushing the filters in about 15 minutes. Super easy to hook up, and the instructions are idiot proof. Right out of the box I could see the high quality of the unit, and filters. I had need running another "top" brand RO/DI for some time now, and the BRS RO is hands down built better. I only have about 47 PSI on the gauge right now, and still getting about 5 gallons an hour. I plan to get the booster pump soon, but even without it im getting lots of water production. MyTDS coming into the unit are 480 and after it passes threw all the stages and di it is 0... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this BRS RO/DI, definitely worth the money. We even plan to use it to make RO water for our 8 month old son. Keep up the great work BRS, you guys ROCK ! Awesome RO/DI Unit By Mitchel on 4/7/14 Mitchel would recommend this product to a friend I have been using the BRS 5 Stage Water Saver Plus RO/DI System - 150GPD for the past few weeks to produce and this RO/DI really produces water fast. It is probably one of the best purchases that I have made for my reef build. Having RO/DI water on supply prevents trips to the LFS or having to go to the grocery store to get water. TDS is 0 coming out. AWESOME!!!! This is the one By Ben on 3/16/14 Ben would recommend this product to a friend I have had this thing for over a year now and have yet to change out my resin, filter, membrane and I am still reading 0 TDS. I would not worry about trying to find the best non industrial grade RO/DI filter, because this is the one. Produce 87 GPD @ 58 psi By gaby on 3/15/14 gaby would recommend this product to a friend I am tired of buying RODI water from local fish store for 50 cents a gallon. I purchase this RODI system after about 1 year of reefing. The 150GPD is theoretical output. With tap water pressure 60 psi in my basement, it takes 16.5 minutes to produce 1 gallon RODI. It is about 87 GPD. The waste water is 8 minutes per gallon so the ratio is of waste and RODI is 2:1. Environmentally speaking, this is much better than other system with 4:1 ratio. I store the waste water to water indoor plants. Note that my water pressure is 60 psi but it reaches the membrane at 58 psi (2 psi was lost in between sediment filter and carbon blocks). The first time I setup the system, it is leaking due to broken connector (Elbow NPT Push Connect) - other reviewers report the same thing. I call the customer service and they send me a new one. Initially I set it up connected using chrome faucet adapter but the adapter itself leaks. I try the "Mur-lok EZ angle stop adaptor" to connect under the sink but the plastic thread is so soft and can get easily damaged. Instead of EZ angle adaptor, I order John Guest Angle Stop Valve ($9.99) which I highly recommend. I use it under the laundry sink. No leak. It fits perfectly and it is truly a life saver. It have been producing 50 gallons RODI today. GREAT By JWEPPEL on 3/14/14 JWEPPEL would recommend this product to a friend KEEP IN MIND THIS COMES WITH HANGING BRACKETS AND SCREWS ALREADY ASSEMBLED.I LIKE THE ADDED FEATURES OF 150GPD,AUTO SHUTOFF AND TDS METER.ONCE DI FILTER WAS SATURATED REALLY STARTED MAKING WATER. I ADDED A RESERVE TANK FOR DRINKING WATER ALSO. Great Product By Sam on 3/13/14 Sam would recommend this product to a friend Bought this for my 110 gallon saltwater reef tank. Fantastic product, build quality is exceptional, when you are hooking it up you can tell its a very well-made unit. Filters are excellent and ease/variety of hookups to almost any situation makes it a must have. Been getting 0 TDS water for 1 month now with no issues. Very happy customer. I get approximately 4 gallon per hour in my house. However, my house is about 65 years old and has smaller water pipes than newer houses so I don't have the increased water pressure. If it's a newer house the output should be more around 6 gallon per hour like advertised I would assume. Overall very happy. Great Product / Great Company By Chris on 3/13/14 Chris would recommend this product to a friend I recently bought a BRS 5 STAGE WATER SAVER PLUS RO/DI SYSTEM - 150GPD. After lugging saltwater from my lfs for 6 months I had enough. I bought the rodi system and just wished I bought it 6 months ago. It works great and has made my water changes much easier. Also Bulk Reef Supply is one of the best companies I've done buisniess with. Great prices and even better service. I placed my order and it was shipped right away. Thanks BFS. Good unit By Mike on 2/28/14 Mike would recommend this product to a friend I would give this unit 5 stars but knocking it down to 4 stars. My reasoning is because when I received this unit the plastic NPT nipple between the first and second stage was cracked. I called customer service and they said it was "cracked during shipping." Customer service immediately sent a replacement NPT nipple free of charge. I researched online and discovered I am not the only one that had this cracked NPT nipple issue. Maybe in the future, perhaps brass NPT nipples can be used to make this unit robust. Other than that, this RODI unit works as advertised. I am getting about a 1:1.5 RODI to waste water ratio at 65psi. Excellent RO unit By Jason on 2/11/14 Jason would recommend this product to a friend Easy to use with quality parts!...Built really well. This is the goods! By RiffeShooter on 1/17/14 RiffeShooter would recommend this product to a friend I spoke with BRS on the phone to determine which unit I should go with for my 280 gallon (outstanding phone service) and we settled on this one. I could not be happier! Produces gobs of water and is really easy to hook up and sets up fast fast fast. You will be pumping water in no time! This is my first RO/DI unit to date. Fantastic RO/DI, fast & efficient By Paul on 12/29/13 Paul would recommend this product to a friend Upgraded to this from the BRS 5-stage 75 GPD that I'd had >1 year - wow, wish I'd gotten this one originally! Don't get me wrong, the 75 GPD is a solid performer for smaller tanks (less than 75 gal), but the 150 GPD Water Saver produces RO extremely fast: even at only 40 psi I'm getting 5 gal in about 1 hr and best of all _far_ less waste than before! The dual TDS meter again is a great advantage to see exactly what the TDS reading is, and it's accurate - no guesswork when to change DI resin. Spot checks with a handheld TDS meter shows the RO/DI TDS meter remains correct. Excellent RO/DI system By George on 12/29/13 George would recommend this product to a friend This system is extremely fast and efficient. I've used it both as a source of drinking water (take out the di portion first), and of course for my salt water and fresh water systems. The water is pure and the system is easy to use. The options that they give us to hook it up is amazing. You can hook it up to a hose out side, to faucet, to the toilet/sink water inlet and even to the copper piping outside. At 150 gallons per day... you can easily make a 5 gallon jug in less than 50 minutes if even that. Best of all, it comes preassembled with all the bells and whistles! I'm super happy with it. It more than serves its purpose! Simple installation and easy to use By Chris on 12/16/13 Chris would recommend this product to a friend I received this product, not quite knowing what to expect with the installation. Many things you buy are "batteries not included" and you end up going out to pick up all sorts of parts / pieces to complete the install. This product is so easily installed and comes with every option possible to connect it to a water source. the UPS delivery on the other hand was quite an ordeal. I wish other delivery options were available and though BRS has been fantastic, the delivery will be a consideration for future orders Awesome product from brs By Michael on 12/16/13 Michael would recommend this product to a friend This system is so great! Took me a minute to connect it.....no parts to mess with. Cut my ro making time in half even though I don't have the recommended pressure. Great product! Excellent RO unit By Clowner on 12/6/13 Clowner would recommend this product to a friend Comes with all attachments very well made Awesome RO/DI unit! By Greg on 12/6/13 Greg would recommend this product to a friend This is my first RO/DI unit I have every purchased and it was a breeze to setup, took me literally 2 mins. BRS included all the parts you would need to set it up as well! Nicely done team BRS! Excellent By Martin on 12/3/13 Martin would recommend this product to a friend The quality of this system is way beyond other RO/DI systems I have seen .Excellent all around. Good instructions too. What a beast! By Christopher on 11/12/13 Christopher would recommend this product to a friend This system is a beast! Great investment, quality product and components. I will be upgrading to the Chloramine kit when it's time to swap media and filters. Thanks BRS!! the best By grisel on 11/7/13 grisel would recommend this product to a friend i love this unit is realy nice to haved at home. i dont need to go to the store to carrie 5 gallons of water yeahhh. thank you bulk for yours video that help alot. para mi gente que no entiende ingles esta unidad es muy buena para comprar es rodi muy facil para mantener su pecera con agua y cambios de agua y mantanimiento. the best By elis on 11/7/13 elis would recommend this product to a friend i buy this unit is the best invesment i do. no more 5 gallon the water pick up from the store u juuuuu i loved thank you bulk reef . ahora para q mi gente hispana que no pueda entender en ingles les digo esta unitas que acabo de comprar rodi es lo mejor que he comprado ya no voy a gargar 5 gallones de agua de la tienda. es lo mejor bastante agua por dia se los recomiendo gracias bulk reef. Great unit By Russ on 10/1/13 Russ would recommend this product to a friend Bought it, went through the super easy instructions and never looked back. It came with a ton of little extras I didn't need to use all of (like options for mounting and water hookups) but it's great to know it came with everything I could possibly want. Gets my water down to nearly 0 TDS. Love this untit By Dylan on 9/24/13 Dylan would recommend this product to a friend This is my first RO/Di unit and great so far,I love the water saver feature and it come with the TDS meter all other I looked at didn't Great product By Tim stout on 9/24/13 Tim stout would recommend this product to a friend This is great for anyone in the saltwater hobby! I would recommend getting a booster pump with it though which is going to run you another 100 dollars. Without a pump mine runs at 40 PSI and will fill a 5 gallon bucket In about an hour. I would recommend this to anyone. great ro/di By tedcb on 9/19/13 tedcb would recommend this product to a friend Great economical system. Came pre assembled and was super easy to install. Maintaining the unit is a snap too with BRS 5stage cartridge refills. Just changed out my cartridges and loved the price of the refillable DI cartridge. I'd definitely reccomend this unit to anyone who needs large quantities of RO/DI water Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: BRS 5 Stage Water Saver PLUS RO/DI System - 150GPD *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

A narrow majority of members of the House of Representatives unfortunately took another step backward when it comes to education in Georgia on Thursday by eliminating the year-long, rigorous program of National Board Certification for public school teachers and the 10 percent salary increase incentive that goes along with it.
My wife and I recently had the opportunity to travel to the southwestern corner of the state to attend a wedding.
It is difficult to reconcile the fact that one of the premier families of 19th century American science and exploration were slaveholders. One can only hope that, 150 years from now, we won't be judged too harshly for our own policies and practices.
George H.W. Bush made a "read my lips," no-new-taxes pledge in his acceptance speech at the Republican Convention in August 1988, and broke it two years later. That seemed a fast turnaround, but President Barack Obama has outpaced him by making, and then signaling his intention to break, a no-new-taxes pledge all in the same address.
Thursday, the Senate exercised leadership in making much needed reforms to Georgia's transportation governance. With the passage of SB 200, the Senate voted for a clear funding process to enable transportation dollars to be spent more efficiently, effectively and strategically.
In 1932, the federal courts affirmed gangster Al Capone's 11-year prison sentence and heavy fine for income tax evasion. He was sent to Alcatraz and then the Atlanta pen before he was given his freedom to die of advanced syphilis.
It's hard to be vision impaired. People who aren't just don't have a clue how difficult it makes life in so many ways.
These are extraordinary political and economic times, and even from a distance you can sense the animation on Capitol Hill as Congress watches President Obama distribute the stimulus package, weighs his executive-branch appointments and responds to his various initiatives.
The Governator: What a sad artifact of a bygone era that moniker is. Arnold Schwarzenegger circa the 2003 "total recall" election was going to sweep all before him as California governor, bringing the same elan and toughness he had on the big screen to fighting special interests and restoring his beloved state to competitiveness.
As the sixth week (24th legislative day) of Georgia's legislative session wraps up, many necessary items on the agenda were accomplished. The House passed out the mid-year budget this week, which is a relief for some. Overall, the bills that were passed covered a wide variety of issues.
If I were advising the national Republican Party on how to regain its footing, I would begin with a simple statement: "Take the money."
On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of hosting Army Maj. Gen. Tony Cucolo, commanding officer of the 3rd Infantry Division and Fort Stewart, in a formal visit to the Georgia House.
There's nothing like the feeling of independence that comes with getting one's first set of wheels. I got mine when I was 6 years old. Santa brought me a shiny red 20" Murray bike that Christmas, and I was so excited.
Computer hackers managed to hijack a digital road sign in Austin, Texas, a few weeks ago and change its message to "Zombies Ahead."
As the fifth week of Georgia's legislative session ended, numerous pieces of legislation were discussed. Activity has picked up as the budget requirements were made clearer with the addition of $465 million in federal funding for Medicaid. This additional funding has taken some of the pressure off the Medicaid funding parts of the budget which have federally-mandated requirements.
Even by my impossibly high standards, this has been a good week. It began with a whack upside the head from a reader in South Georgia after I opined that those who want to change the way we teach our children in public schools ought to have their kids in public schools. I was referring to the efforts led by Sen. William Ligon, R-Brunswick, to overturn the Common Core curriculum in the recent legislative session.
Having had time to reflect on the recently completed 2014 session of the Georgia General Assembly, it is with great regret that I have to say it was the most embarrassing performance by your state legislature that I can remember.
Sometimes, I think I focus too much on the litter. But it is the nature of what I do.
Editor, I travel a lot and have written on the subject of gun rights before. Recently in Atlanta, they locked down a school because a neighbor was squirrel hunting nearby. Those people in Sandy Hook, Conn., are getting a new school because one of their own citizens committed murder there. Pretty soon, local commissioners are going to be sending drones through the community to look for zoning violations.
Editor, April marks the nation's "Month of the Military Child" - a time to honor youth and their service to our country. On Tuesday, April 15, as a visible way to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices, the public is invited to "Purple Up! For Military Kids." Everyone in the community is encouraged to wear purple shirts, scarves, shoes, buttons and pants. If it's purple, or can be turned purple, make it happen.
It happened recently - the 20th anniversary of stock-car racer Davey Allison's death. Maybe you remember him. Maybe you don't. But I shall never forget him.
There is nothing more important than the safety and protection of innocent children. Not constitutional rights, not animal rights, not thoughts, opinions, feelings or political beliefs. The lives of children must be given top priority.

Notes from Lands End
Party Planning Provincetown Style
By Laura Shabott
February 8th, 2014
The falling snow makes me yearn for a warm sunny day in Provincetown. I close my eyes and remember walks at Hatches Harbor, sunning at Herring Cove, but most of all, the parties that are a true celebration of diversity and the magical spirit of Lands End.
Carnival 2014s theme: Comic Book Capers! Lets guess. How many Wonder Women do you think well see?
Mark your calendar and plan to come for Provincetowns biggest parties Memorial Day to Labor Day 2014.
May 23-26
Memorial Day aka Baby Dyke Weekend
: A word-of-mouth force of young women bring their tribe to take over the hotels, don baseball caps, carrying red cups of refreshment and whoo-hooo!-ing down Commercial Street. They join boaters, day trippers and locals in a three day party to mark the beginning of summer.

June 2629
The Portuguese Festival and Blessing of the Fleet
: A remarkable tribute to Provincetowns cultural heritage, this is a weekend filled with song, a lovely parade, delicious food, dancing on Ryder Street and ends with the long-time tradition of the Sunday Fishermans Mass and the Blessing of the Fleet. A wonderful time will be had by all.
July 2-6 4th of July aka
Circuit Boy Weekend
: Well-toned bodies and a high profile career mark this holiday as men dance, sun bathe and oh my(!) if those dunes could talk. A Fourth of July parade (11am East End) fills the air with the sounds of brass while candy flies through the air from fire trucks and floats. At dusk on the Bayside, fireworks delight the massive throngs of people who come to celebrate independence every year.
July 12-20
Bear Week
This honey infused festival of 8,000 portly, hirsute men and their slim, hairless otter friends descend upon 02657 to forage, drink and lay about in the sun. Provincetown Bears, would you make Goldilocks t-shirts again? Please? One million men strong, the bear culture is a very generous crowd, with its own magazines and movies. Fascinating, Spock would say.
July 23-26
Girl Splash
: Party Planner/Activist
http://www.girl-splash.com/about-girl-power/ Lynnette Molnar
does it again with a thirty-something all-womens version of Beach Blanket Bingo. Ladies meet up, break up, and thrill straight men and lesbians alike with kissing on the streets and wearing skimpy bikinis. This is a very good week to go on a bar crawl, with effusive bachelorette parties floating up and down Commercial Street.
July 26-August 2
Family Week
: LGBT families honor the beautiful and daunting task of raising children with a week all the outdoor activities that kids (and parents) could want. The weather is almost always warm and sunny.
Camp Lightbulb
supports Family Week by creating wonderful events like flash singalong.
August 16-22
Carnival Week
: Voted the top Festival on Cape Cod by me and other fun aficionados, The Carnival Parade August 21st at 3PM (Snail Road going West) will be thrilling. A week before the big day, you can hear the sounds of saws, hammers and sewing machines making costumes and floats throughout town. The parade takes a few hours to wind through crowds reaching up to the beautiful dancers who throw beads between gyrations.
Carnival 2014s theme: Comic Book Capers! Lets guess. How many Wonder Women do you think well see?
September 1 Labor Day: Provincetowns reality shifts in four unique ways Labor Day weekend. 1. Townie Summer begins. 2. September is rich with weekend events. 3. There is a lovely chill in the night air. 4. A changing light begins with a luminescence on the water at sunset. Breathtaking!

The new Garmin Forerunner 910XT has arrived in time for the Hawaiian Ironman 2011 and triathletes and ultra-endurance athletes alike could not be
more excited.
The predecessor watch, the Garmin Forerunner 310XT, gave the world its first true long course triathlon GPS watch in April of 2009.
The Garmin Forerunner 910XT has added training effect, which is sweet because this kind of data helps an athlete adjust their training and then it has further added a barometric altimeter to increase the accuracy of real-time ascent and descent data. The GPS data has always been very accurate on altitude once you transferred it into Garmin Connect and hit the corrections button but athletes really wanted more accurate data on board and now they will get it.
New swim watch features include lap and stroke count, which add to the accurate GPS swim mapping and distance that this watch allows you to do.
The first two full Ironman GPS watches were big, real big and both the Garmin Forerunner 310XT and the Timex Global Trainer scared off many a athlete with small wrists. The Forerunner 910XT brings to bear a somewhat smaller form factor. Still the demands of running full GPS mode for 15 hours or longer necessitate a lithium-ion battery that can meet the task so a normal sized watch for long course triathlon may still be a ways off.
Of course the Garmin 910XT still delivers multiple screens for each sport and picks up bike power data from ANT+ compliant power meters. Also, available by
next Spring of 2012 will be the Garmin Vector power pedals.
We tested lots of new Garmin devices this past year, including the Garmin Edge 810 and Forerunner 620. All of these devices have made incredible advances over
their predecessors and the Garmin Forerunner 910XT is no different. We can't wait to put it through the paces.
A lot of commentators and reviewers try to pigeonhole the Garmin Forerunner 910XT as strictly a triathlon watch but in reality it is great for sports like
ultra-running, all day summit attempts, all day back country skiing excursions, cross country trails and dirt biking, inline skating and so much more. Add a
external battery pack with solar charger and you are set to tackle even remote locations. The one downside to this is that it does take about 10 hours plus of sunlight to do a
total battery recharge so we would recommend a second battery too for hardcore enthusiasts.
We have a real hardcore back country skiing, cycling and running friend we call DNA man - I'll leave out his real name to protect the innocent. Now DNA man can go
from the wee hours until well past sunset and rack up more vertical than most people get in several days. It is his MO and if it doesn't have endurance then don't give it
to DNA man. Original we tried to get DNA man outfitted with a Forerunner 410 but the battery did not last long enough. Then we got him a 310XT and it was as if
Goldilocks had found the right bed - "Just right".
We might have to trade in his 310XT for the new 910XT now so we can make it "DNA man" approved.
About a year after the introduction of the original 310XT Garmin made a firmware update that allowed the watch to track distance and route in open water swims. Needless to say
this was a great success but like every other GPS and heart rate monitor manufacturer, except Polar, it failed to track heart rate in the water which disappointed the swimmers.

the best ultra watch on the planet there is a lot to be thrilled about with the new form factor, the new barometric altimeter, swim features and training effect.

LINCOLN — Before we start, let me sit down. I'm out of breath. I'm pale. I need to see a photo of my wife and kids.
Is this 2012? Or 1997?
For a minute there on Saturday, I thought I saw a ghost.
I thought I saw Tom Osborne jogging onto the field with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Can a computer get the chills? The goosebumps ran down my forearms and into the keyboard.
I was there for the two-point try at Miami in 1984. Saw the 1994 win over Colorado. All three national championships.
But now I have a new favorite Tom Osborne image.
You knew something was up. You knew they would find a way to honor Osborne, in his last home game working for NU. This was his 500th home game as a Husker. Five hundred. More than anyone ever at Nebraska, Osborne is attached to that field, the field named after him, the field where he graced us with his presence for so long.
So here comes the Tunnel Walk. Sure enough, on the video screen, there's Osborne, leading the team out of the locker room with head coach Bo Pelini. Osborne wore a red hat and a red coaching jacket. It's 1973 all over again.
And then it happened.
|Click the image above to learn more about "Unbeatable: Tom Osborne and the greatest era of Nebraska football," and to preorder your copy today.
He actually ran out onto the field, leading the team out.
"It broke me when he came out of the tunnel," said longtime assistant coach Ron Brown.
Brown wasn't alone. When Osborne started jogging, I got the chills. No cheering in the press box. But tears allowed Saturday.
There was that gait. That Osborne gait. Did you see it?
The coach always had a distinct way of running, straight up, chugging along, shifting that weight from leg to leg, the arms moving back and forth. You saw it as he led his teams out for 25 years. The handful of us who covered Husker practices saw it every day. After answering every last question, Osborne would take off on a jog around the field. Sometimes in the rain. Sometimes in the dark.
It was a day of big emotions. Senior Day, Osborne Day, parents and families and last goodbye hugs. Osborne's run was the eye of the emotional hurricane.
It was a day of fine tributes. On Nebraska's first offensive play, a toss sweep, the receivers lined up in three-point stances. There were countless video tributes, everyone from Jim Delany to Bill Snyder, Barry Alvarez to Barry Switzer. But the opening jog stole the show.
Those old enough to remember Osborne the coach surely shed some tears when they saw that jog. It brought so much rushing back. You started to look for Tommie Frazier and Grant Wistrom.
For the generation who never knew the man, well, there you go. Find that puppy on YouTube and replay it. That's the classic Osborne, the man running out, chugging along, leading young men to victory.
For that, everyone should thank Bo Pelini.
"I asked Coach to do it," Pelini said. "He was reluctant to do it. But it's the way it should be. It meant a lot to me and the football team. I think the fans wanted to see him walk out there one more time."
Bravo, Bo. What a wonderful, perfect touch, a move that touched young and old, former players and current players who got a moment to savor.
It was a highlight reel come to life is what it was.
"I thought he was going to break away and get out of the way of the players," said Jeff Jamrog, a former player for Osborne and now assistant athletic director. "But he kept going."
Jamie Williams, another former Osborne player and also an assistant A.D., smiled at Jamrog's line and said, "I heard him say he just hoped Eric Martin didn't run him down."
Over on one end of the interview area, assistant offensive line coach John Garrison, class of 2002, said, "It was awesome. I couldn't control my emotions. It was really like watching him when he was coaching, what it would have been like to play for him."
On another end of the room, senior deep snapper P.J. Mangieri said, "It was a great experience to watch coach Osborne lead us out there. It gave you the feeling of what it would have been like to have played back then."
Pretty eerie, huh? Pretty cool.
Osborne's Senior Day was the talk of Senior Day. Defensive coordinator John Papuchis overheard senior Cameron Meredith refer to Osborne as "Tom." Papuchis laughed and said, "Did he just call him Tom?"
Brown made himself, and others, feel old with a funny story.
"I asked Ameer (Abdullah) and some of the other young guys what year they were born and they said 1993," Brown said. "I told them, we were preparing to play for a national championship that year. I wonder how kids like that know about Nebraska. I think things like ESPN and the Big Ten Network help, showing those old games."
These kids are showing how much they know about Nebraska football with every game they play.
|Click the image above to join the daily conversation on the Tom Shatel Facebook page.
It's five in a row now, for those counting. They're almost there. The seniors, and this team, have two more wins left and then they can hoist a Big Ten championship flag.
Along the way, they've shown guts and a resiliency that is oh so familiar in a lot of ways. It has to be very familiar to the old jogger himself, who took several punches in his career and got off the mat swinging again.
What these Huskers are doing now is their own tribute to Osborne, and Nebraska football. It was what seniors like Will Compton and Rex Burkhead talked about before the season, the deep need to pave their way by honoring the past, notching their own history.
They're almost there.
"Resilient," Papuchis said of this senior class. "No matter what has happened to them, they've come back swinging. There was the loss to Texas and they came back strong against Arizona. After last year's bowl game, we had our best offseason. They get beat by Ohio State and we see how they have responded."
What a Senior Day we witnessed on Saturday. The end of one era, with Osborne walking off the field, his field, for the last time. And perhaps the return of a championship era, if these seniors can close.
The connection, Brown said, is no coincidence.
"Bo and Tom are very much alike, in spite of the very different ways they express themselves," Brown said. "Core values. Family. Integrity. Discipline. Work ethic. Competitive spirit. They are very much alike.
"In some ways, because of that connection, the players are getting both Bo and Tom. They're getting the good stuff from both."
Brown was standing against a wall outside the Husker locker room. People rushed to and fro, players and families. Osborne was long gone. He and wife Nancy didn't stop to talk to reporters after the halftime tribute. Osborne looked emotionally spent.
To this observer, down on the field at half, it appeared something Brown said to Osborne as they embraced jolted the coach.
"I told him 'thank you for taking a chance on me,'" Brown said. "Here was this 35-year-old coach from the Ivy League (Brown University). I'm a long shot, and he took a chance.
"I told him I love him and he's going to be missed."
Brown stood there and talked for a good 20, 25 minutes about his mentor and colleague. His eyes were red and welled with water. His voice occasionally broke as he told story after story.
Of how Osborne's greatest trait was his grace and ability to forgive and forget anything. Why so many players and coaches wanted to win for him, Brown said. He always had your back.
Brown told this wonderful story about the team flying home after the UCLA loss two months ago. Brown said Osborne got up during the flight home and did something he used to do as a head coach.
"He walked up and down the plane and touched every one, on the head, shoulder, back, whatever," Brown said. "He just touched them, patted them. Let them know things were going to be OK, things weren't out of control. They were going to come back."
He talked about the loyalty, how Osborne had had offers from the NFL and other colleges, and always stayed, even with fans on his case. And now, finally, he was gone.
"I know he announced his retirement awhile back," Brown said. "Reality kicked in today."
You could see it on the faces of thousands of Nebraskans. Lot of tears, lot of lumps in throats, as Tom and Nancy waved and left the building.
It's 9:06 p.m. I'm looking down on Memorial Stadium. The lights are still on. I'm looking for that jogger, going around and around the field. He's not there.

"We are extremely pleased to now have the Clubmark awarding licence. Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin has such a great network of partners supporting the development of clubs and we look forward to working further with them and more community clubs in the pursuit of Clubmark accreditations."
Since 2005, with the vouchers that you have collected, you helped Sainsbury's to donate over £136 million* worth of equipment and experiences to nurseries, schools, groups and clubs. Thank you for donating your vouchers to your local club! Now in its ninth year, Active Kids has gone from strength to strength, with over 51,000 schools, groups and clubs registered. Make sure your organisation is taking part this year and let's get even more kids active!
Clubmark is now managed by Sport England in-house. This arrangement is for an interim period and will continue until the 31st March 2014 when Clubmark will become part of Club Support, the one stop shop for clubs and volunteers*.
British Cycling's Go-Ride programme incorporates Sport England's Clubmark scheme and integrates structured coaching activities and club development into a single, recognisable programme.
With almost 300 clubs (and counting!) signed up to the Go-Ride programme, it is playing a key role in maintaining and increasing participation levels of young people within cycling.
British Universities and College Sports (BUCS) is the National Governing Body for Higher Education in the UK. The aim of BUCS is to "enhance the student experience through sport" which has led to a working partnership with Knight, Kavanagh & Page which manages the Clubmark programme on behalf of Sport England.
On Friday 7th June the new and improved Clubmark website (www.clubmark.org.uk) was launched.
The launch of the new site complements the new branding of the Clubmark programme launched earlier in the year, giving it a fresh look and improved functionality to give a higher level of support for Clubmark clubs.
With the aim of providing information beyond the expectation of the site's visitors, coupled with the easy to use layout allows the user to find what they are looking for easily and faster.
