Toll Gate Best Buddies earn top state honors
Danielle Roberts and Sara Morris, students at Toll Gate High School who are part of the Best Buddies program, a volunteer initiative that pairs intellectually and developmentally disabled students with other students to create one-on-one friendships and better integrate those with disabilities, are thrilled about some of the recent events they've attended to raise awareness about the cause.
In March, nearly 50 Toll Gate students and staff members attended the Best Buddies Ball at Corrine's at 1593 Newport Avenue in Pawtucket to receive accolades and enjoy the accomplishments they've made through the program.
"We danced and I wore a dress," said Roberts.
To their surprise, they were named "Outstanding Chapter of the Year" by the program.
"I was so excited," Morris said of the award. "We do so many fun things and not everyone sees the hard work that we do. So many people come up to me all the time and say, 'My kid has a better life because you do this at Toll Gate.' It's incredible to hear that."
Morris, this year's president of Best Buddies, has been a member of the program since its inception about a year and a half ago. She said while she has taken part in many activities in school through the years, Best Buddies is her all-time favorite.
"Around school, everyone knows me as the 'Best Buddies Girl,'" said Morris. "It's not a huge organization yet, so not many people know about it, but as soon as people hear about it and learn how enriching it is, they're like, 'Oh, my God. That's the best thing I ever heard.' It's easier to get support if people know what it is."
In addition to the award, the 60 student members of the program recently held a fundraiser walk around Garden City to benefit Best Buddies. They raised nearly $4,000, which will help fund students' airline tickets for July's Best Buddies International Leadership Conference in Indiana.
"That's a lot of money," said Carol Allen, intensive special education teacher as well as advisor for Best Buddies. "Sara and the board were very motivated."
Also, said Allen, Morris raised the most individual amount, as she contributed $1,450.
While Morris wasn't planning to attend the conference, which consists of classes and seminars to guide upcoming chapter presidents from more than 40 countries from around the world, officers and board members through planning events and fundraisers, she was pleasantly surprised that Roberts' parents, Ken and Cindy, are funding her trip as a graduation gift, as she will be heading off to Stonehill College in Massachusetts in the fall.
"They are like my second family and I think it's the sweetest thing," said Morris, who is looking forward to the event because she thinks it's "cool to be around people from all around the world who believe in the same thing as you." She went on to say, "It's really exciting."
Another "exciting" event the girls attended was Roberts' junior prom at the Quidnessett Country Club, as well as the first ever prom at the Trudeau Center.
"Danielle is always happy and she's very funny," Morris said. "Even when I'm having a bad day or if something is going wrong, she's always perky and silly and that makes me happy."
Before she heads off to college to study either special education or international relations and foreign languages, Morris offered some advice to students who are thinking about becoming Best Buddies. It isn't for everyone, she said, but those who do join won't regret it.
"I would say that's it's the most enriching thing that I've done in my whole life," said Morris. "Before Best Buddies, a lot of the kids who are in special classes never got a phone call from a friend, went to a dance or a movie. They were just never cultivated. They used to be secluded at school and now me and Danielle are together all the time."
Allen agreed.
"It has been very rewarding seeing the growth and different skills the students are all learning," she said.

Members of this committee currently include:
The Events Committee is responsible for:
- Acting as first line of contact for individuals seeking event-related assistance from IGO.
- Setting policies for all sponsored events.
- Assisting with setup and organization of events, as necessary.
- Supplying events with funds, equipment, signs, brochures, temporary caches and similar items as needed.
The IGO classifies all events as either "sponsored" or "non-sponsored". IGO may supply materials (signs, brochures, name tags, temporary cache containers, FRS repeater, etc.) and assistance in the planning and execution of any event with pre-approval of the Committee and formal approval from the Board.
The Committee is responsible for determining if an event is to be classified as "sponsored" or "non-sponsored" based on how it meets the following criteria.
- Location
- Sponsored events should provide positive impact for the area.
- IGO will work to spread events around the state so two or more in the same region and timeframe are not likely to receive IGO sponsorship.
- Sponsored events should encourage more caches and IGO members in the area.
- Public Relations
- A sponsored event must promote good relations with the local park management.
- Sponsored events should take advantage of local/regional advertising (news coverage, etc.) outside of IGO or Geocaching.com to attract new cachers.
- Events that actively involve youth groups (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc.) are encouraged.
- Timing
- Sponsored events should not conflict with previously posted dates of similar events in the same region. Exceptions may be made if the Board elects to sponsor two or more "regional" Iowa events (such as Earth Day CITO's and the like).
- Events intended to repeat annually or semiannually may receive special consideration.
- Purpose
- Sponsored events will generally have a theme or specific purpose like CITO, youth group relations, recruiting or educating new geocachers.
Unless noted otherwise and formally approved by the Board, all IGO sponsored events will:
- Be eligible for funding from the IGO, generally in the form of reimbursement for predetermined and authorized expenses.
- Be posted to geocaching.com under the IGO user account (they will appear as "by IowaGeocachersOrg and...").
- Accept donations (a labeled can or box will be provided) to help offset costs and fund future events and IGO activities.
- Have at least one IGO Board member in attendance and responsible for collecting donations and distributing IGO-specific information.
Budgets for sponsored events will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The Committee will ask the event organizer to submit a written estimate of all reimbursable costs for the event. Examples of reimbursable fees may include: park/shelter fees, printing/copying and food/beverage expenses. The Committee will review the estimate and make changes if needed before a proposed budget is submitted to the Board for amendments and approval by vote.
The IGO will be under no obligation to reimburse expenses which were not pre-approved by the Board. Event organizers should save receipts for all reimbursable expenses as the Board may require verification of expenses before reimbursement.
Non-sponsored events include any that do not meet the criteria for IGO sponsorship; however, all event organizers are encouraged to review and apply the criteria posted above to help ensure a successful event. IGO will not contribute funds to a non-sponsored event but materials and assistance can be provided as requested by the event organizer and with approval of the Committee. Materials may include items like cache containers, signs, brochures, pens/pencils, FRS radios and repeater unit. Assistance may be in the form of planning, advertising and day-of-the-event coordination.
IGO encourages all members to organize events and we will do all that we can to assist and help make every event a successful one.

The Grand County Council has approved a 5 percent increase in the amount the county charges the state of Utah to lease the courthouse building that houses the 7th District and Juvenile courts in Moab.
According to county documents, Grand County has been leasing the facility to the state for the use of approximately 12,000 square feet of office space, including the common areas that are shared with the county's own Justice Court.
Under the newly approved five-year agreement, which covers fiscal years 2014-2018, the state will pay a base sum of $13.19 per square foot, up from the $12.56 per square foot Utah has paid during the past six years. The state had also been taking advantage of a 3 percent lump-sum discount included in the previous contract by making annual payments, county officials said during this week's county council meeting on Tuesday, July 16.
Grand County Council Administrator Ruth Dillon told the council that she had initially asked the state for a 15 percent increase, which would have raised the lease fee to $14.14 per square foot with the 3 percent discount still available. After negotiations, a 5 percent counteroffer was accepted, with the lump-sum discount dropping to 0.65 percent instead of 3 percent, Dillon said. The negotiated lump-sum discount covers only the first year, Dillon said, noting that the amount of the discount in future years may fluctuate somewhat as it will be tied to the state's Public Treasurers Investment Fund.
The council unanimously approved the new agreement by a 6-0 vote.
Dillon said that even with the 5 percent increase, the new amount is still lower than the going rate for commercial office space in Moab, which ranges from $15 to $21 per square foot per year, based on information from local real estate agents. Also, it is still lower than the average lease rate for court space statewide, which is $14.88 per square foot, according to county documents.
After the discounts are taken into account, Grand County will receive an increase of approximately $11,000 in lease payments from the state for the use of the courthouse, according to the new agreement. The annual lease payments for the years 2014-18 will be approximately $156,400, which is roughly 7 percent higher than the $145,400 per year that the state has paid since 2008.
When the state began leasing the courthouse in 1993, the rate was $8.25 per square foot, county officials said.

Victoria BC Tea Meet?
Saturdays are good here too! Just need to leave by 6 so I can grab dinner before work :)
Ok! So for coming Saturdays, the 16th does not work for me (Midterm the following week!), but other than that I am free all other Saturdays in March. The semester ends in the middle of April, so I'm free starting the 20th. I'll probably just take Transit from Vancouver, as PCL is kinda pricey. I'd rather spend my money on tea. :)
I agree, on the weekend of the 16th, I'll be swamped with a surge of papers. 23rd is definitely doable, 30th would be tricky due to other papers but I think I could manage. Then I'm done with the school year on April 18th, so anytime between then until May would work no problem (going home to AB for a month or so then). Hope this won't overly complicate things.
23rd is doable for me, and I may be able to drag another tea lover along, I think she gets home for spring break the night before. The 30th is iffy, I have family coming from out of town for the long weekend, but if my grandmother goes shopping with my mom, I'd be able to swing it.
It would be really great if we could organize a monthly meet, if anyone's interested?
Awesome, well if the 23rd works for others, we should make our first meeting then! I think a monthly meet would be great seeing that many of us probably order from different e-tailers and it would be a nice way to catch up on what's always coming out, or hey, to just have tea and relax somewhere in town.
the 23rd also works for me. I've a lot of family events on the mainland around the 30th and probably won't be able to do that particular weekend. After April 21st I'll be out of town until mid-May but can come over after that if there are monthly meets.
23 works for me too, and if there's anyone else in Vancouver who wants to go, I have a vehicle and could fit 3-4 more people in it if you want to split costs. It's just not worth it to drive if it's just me.
I work Saturdays. My days off in the week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Generally. The place by though zoo is Jaga Silk. I work at Mayfair so depending on my shift, I could new people there. Like of I worked day but it was a late night night.
Wednesdays could work for me too, I just need to leave by 6 to get to work :)
I'm also free on Wednesdays as long as I can leave around 6 for my night class!

Marketing your online business through social media websites can be a great way to encourage engagement with your brand in a low-pressure setting.
However, getting started with this new type of media can be intimidating for some business owners.
Take a look at the following five examples of ecommerce websites that are succeeding with social media for ideas on how to use social media effectively.
#1: Use Facebook Apps Strategically to Guide Users
As social media expert Amy Porterfield mentioned in her recent "How to Use Facebook Apps to Improve Fan Engagement," article on Social Media Examiner:
Since page admins can no longer designate a default landing tab (also referred to as the "default welcome tab"), businesses need to get more creative and use custom apps to direct Facebook page visitors to take action.
One example of an ecommerce website that's taking this principle to the next level is ShoeDazzle, the discount footwear retailer, with its custom Style Profile app.
Once Facebook visitors grant access to the app, they're able to complete the quiz to find their ideal style matches and are then redirected to specific purchase pages on the ShoeDazzle website, encouraging purchase decisions and eliminating the "tire kicking" that can occur with social media visitors.

Baja California - Among the Great Whales - Among the Great Whales
|Overview • Detailed Itinerary • FAQ's • Testimonials • Dates & Prices
Download Baja California - Among the Great Whales Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in La Paz, Drive to San Carlos and Embark Ship
Arrive in La Paz and drive across the Baja Peninsula to San Carlos to board the ship.
Days 2 - 4: Bahia Magdalena
Bahia Magdalena is one of the main breeding and calving areas for the California gray whale. Each winter, the whales make the longest migration of any mammal -Â south from their Arctic feeding grounds to breed and raise their calves in these sheltered waters. During our days in this otherworldly place, we'll have the opportunity to not only observe these enormous yet gentle animals from the ship, but also at water level from our Zodiacs. Because of our experience and knowledge of Baja's waters, we have enjoyed consistent success in achieving "friendly encounters" with gray mother and calf pairs. While we would never presume to predict Nature's behavior, it is highly likely that you will have the privilege of an up-close and personal sighting.
Day 5: Los Cabos and Gorda Banks
Today, we cruise past the spectacular Friars Rocks at Land's End. For those who wish, we will arrange a visit to the historic town center of San Jose del Cabo.
Day 6: Los Islotes and Isla Espiritu Santo
With deeply indented shorelines and dramatically eroded cliff faces, Los Islotes and Isla Espiritu Santo are two of the most beautiful islands in the Sea of Cortez. Swim and snorkel here. Don mask, flippers and snorkel (which we'll provide with as much guidance as you need) and experience the thrill of swimming with the curious sea lions. Observe the impressive geological past of these islands from a kayak: see tons of compacted volcanic ash covered with solidified lava floods just yards from the shore. Brown pelicans, gulls, wandering tattlers, great blue herons and boobies are all part of the landscape. It is also home to the endemic black jack rabbit -Â with any luck, we may spot one. There are possibilities for long walks or lazy beachcombing. Finish the day with a beach barbecue complete with campfire and a star-filled sky.
Day 7: Exploring the Sea of Cortez
Today is a day with the luxury of no specific plan. We may spend the morning whale watching in the waters around Isla Danzante, an area that has proven to be one of the best for finding blue whales, bottlenose dolphins and common dolphins. Rich in nutrients, the Sea of Cortez is home to a huge variety of fish: king angelfish, surgeonfish, butterfly fish, damselfish and the beautifully colored parrotfish. Explore one of the many lovely, uninhabited islands such as Isla San Jose or Isla Santa Catalina, famous for the 12-foot wavy barrel cactus. Whether walking, kayaking or watching from the Bridge, you'll observe the great diversity of bird life -Â ladder-backed woodpeckers, Costa's hummingbirds, Gila woodpeckers and verdin.
Day 8: La Paz, Disembark
Disembark after breakfast in La Paz and drive to the airport for flights home.

Sr. Community Manager writes: "We're settling in to spring on PSN and between the great deals coming to you during Spring Fever 2013, the new PlayStation Plus offerings and epic exclusives, like The Last of Us, just around the corner, there's a lot happening.
In order to continue bringing you the best online games experience on PSN, we will perform routine maintenance beginning the morning of Monday, April 15th. This maintenance will start at approximately 8:00AM PT (9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00 AM ET) and last until around 8:00PM PT (9:00PM MT / 10:00PM CT / 11:00PM ET)."
I wish SONY would give us some sort of explanation for all this maintenance, i dont see these articles for other consoles
i don't care, till the soul sacrifice come out in 30 april i don't have any game require me to always on
I'm assuming to prepare for the PS4, and to slowly add Gaikai into the service rather than wait till the last minute. If you read the article it says you can still log in to play however you can't access the store or content.
It will be down again, but you can still play your multiplayer games. You just can't use the store. That's not a big deal.

The devastating flood in Houston may be called a "1,000-year flood," meaning it supposedly has a 1-in-1,000 chance of happening in a given year. But parts of Harris County reached 1,000-year flood levels in
another storm
in 2016; other parts of the county experienced a "500-year flood." Another 500-year flood happened
Angara Womens Pink Sapphire Pendant Rose Gold VsNb1QAnC
. If you're 28 and have always lived in Houston, you may have experienced eight "100-year" floods so far in your life.
Smaller but still damaging floods are even more frequent. Some amount of flooding is unavoidable in the low-lying city. But urban planners and designers say future storms that are likely to continue to become more common and more intense because of climate change, and that Houston–and any city with a risk of flooding–has a choice: It can continue dealing with catastrophic flooding or accept that the floods will continue and redesign so that it is resilient to them. The city could both to make future floods less damaging, and to become better able to rebound when floods do happen.
One step the city and county can take is creating new green infrastructure (and protecting the amount that already exists) that can soak up excess rain. The lowest, most vulnerable areas, some argue, shouldn't be used for housing or other development. "Those should be green spaces," says Philip Berke, a landscape architecture and urban planning professor at Texas AM University. "You shouldn't allow development in those."
That plan, in place before Tropical Storm Harvey, is unusual–for years, officials have supported development in low-lying areas because construction has been an engine of economic growth. But it's also an example of how the city could help particularly vulnerable people: The poorer you are, the more likely you are to suffer damage in a flood, both because cheap housing is more likely to be in a floodplain and because the houses are less likely to be elevated as much as necessary. (Low-income families also struggle to afford insurance coverage or to get payouts when they have it, as adjusters often argue that it's difficult to determine whether damage came from the disaster or deferred maintenance.)
Look out for who will be taking part in the post-debate analysis on this evening from 8.30pm
The FSB, through the Standing Committee on Standards Implementation (SCSI), coordinates and oversees the monitoring of the implementation of agreed financial reforms and its reporting to the G20. This includes reporting on
members' commitments
and progress in implementing international financial standards and other policy initiatives;
Jude Frances Lisse Large Pearl amp; Diamond Earring Charms hJjuGfYII5
(which are an obligation of membership); and encouraging global adherence to prudential regulatory and supervisory standards .
In order to strengthen the coordination and effectiveness of this monitoring, the FSB, in collaboration with the standard-setting bodies, established a framework in October 2011 - the
Sole Society Womens Textured Metal Cuff Bracelet Gold One Size From Sole Society EcCFEvSjaI
- for monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the G20 financial reforms. The CFIM was subsequently endorsed by the G20 Leaders at the Cannes Summit as a way to "intensify our monitoring of financial regulatory reforms, report on our progress and track our deficiencies".
The CFIM distinguishes between priority areas, which undergo more intensive monitoring and detailed reporting via periodic progress reports and peer reviews , and other areas of reform.The current list of priority areas, reviewed annually by the FSB in light of policy developments at the international level, comprises:
The FSB reviews the list of priority areas annually in light of policy developments at the international level.
A designated body -- for example, an FSB working group or the relevant standard-setter -- undertakes the monitoring and reporting of implementation progress in each priority area. The monitoring of the implementation in
Blue Nile Roped Bangle Bracelets in Sterling Silver lZ5LYO
of reform is undertaken by the FSB's Implementation Monitoring Network (IMN) based on survey responses of member jurisdictions.
With the main elements of the post-crisis reforms agreed and implementation underway, more detailed analysis of the effects of those reforms is becoming possible. The FSB, in collaboration with the standard-setting bodies (SSBs), is analysing the effects of reforms, including whether the reforms are working together as intended. The main findings are summarised in the annual FSB reports to the G20 on the implementation and effects of the G20 financial regulatory reforms.
In order to enhance the analysis of the effects of reforms, the FSB, in collaboration with the SSBs, published in July 2017 a framework for the post-implementation evaluation of the effects of the G20 financial regulatory reforms. The framework aims to guide analyses of whether the reforms are achieving their intended outcomes, and help identify any material unintended consequences that may have to be addressed, without compromising on the objectives of the reforms.
Links on this page provide information on implementation progress for priority and other reform areas, G20 progress reports, FSB thematic and country peer reviews, the effects of reforms, and the FSB's initiative on international cooperation and information exchange.

Because "resolutions" are too harsh
I know everyone is all about making new year's resolutions, but I really dislike the word "resolution." It removes all flexibility, and I like to keep it flexible. Instead, I like to set "intentions." While both resolution and intention highlight a bit of forward-looking determination, intention just seems so much gentler.
More "no"
I say yes a lot. Yes to new plans when I know I'm already crazy busy. Yes to a second drink when I only wanted one. Yes to going out when I feel like staying in, or my bank account is begging me to stay in. I am not sure where this need to say yes all the time came from, but I guess I assumed successful people gained momentum from saying yes. I mean, saying yes to EVERYTHING is better than saying no to everything, right? And it's good to get out of your comfort zone and say yes to a plan or adventure that seems a bit risky. But I often find myself in situations where I think, "ugh, why did I agree to do this?" Not this year.
I practiced this on NYE. My manfriend and I felt pressured to go out, even though he was really sick and neither of us felt like trekking to Williamsburg. We showered, got all fancied, put on our hats and jackets and gloves and then at 10 pm stood at the door and simply said "….no." We then drank wine and watched the ball drop from the couch. Win win win!
More physical connection
You guys—I'm pretty fucking lonely sometimes. Not to be totally whiney, because I have a lot of friends. But many of them are scattered across the country and our visits are few and far in between. And the ones that do live close are incredibly busy being adults. I often find myself missing actual human touch, especially during the week when I'm not spending time with the boyf. I first noticed this in yoga one day when my teacher came around to assist me and his hand on the small of my back felt deliriously comforting. Not in a sexytime kinda way, but just in a OH MY GOD SOMEONE IS TOUCHING ME way.
In truth, days and days can go by without me actually having any physical contact with another human, since most of my snuggletastic friends and family live far away/are really busy, and I'm in a weekends-only relationship. And this lack of contact, and lack of connection, can make me incredibly lonely even if I am sitting in a room full of people. So this year, I hope to do more snuggling with people that aren't my cat (okay well he isn't a person but whatever) and spend more face-time with friends–which may demand that I make some new friends, too, or scoot on over to see my family more often.
More travel
Bah okay this is cheating. Sort of like when I add things to my to-do list that I have already done, just so I can cross them off. I already have two trips lined up for 2013. Wait wait…does Disney count as traveling? Whatever, I have never been and I am going! Hoorah!
More cooking
And full circle back to loneliness. I have written here how I don't cook that much anymore, which is sad when I am supposed to have a semi-food blog. But the reason I don't cook so much is because I don't find it fun to cook for myself, and I am alone many evenings. Wahhh wahhh. If you follow me on Instagram (do it! @zoahu) then you will often witness my foodporn that is accompanied by the pathetic hashtag, #dinnerforone. I am going to try to cook more this year, and that means I either have to learn to enjoy cooking alone, or invite more friends over for cooking dates. I have barely any (zero) vegan friends in the area so this means I will be foisting my veganism upon all my lovely omni buddies. Cheers to stealthy conversion!
More sex
Okay this is sort of like when people "give up Oreos" for lent. As if that is really hard? How many Oreos are you eating? But seriously—more sex! There is never enough sex, unless you have sex addiction I guess and if so then sorry if that offended you. But really, sex is my favorite way to connect with my manfriend, and also with myself, so hopefully 2013 will be full of zillions of orgasms. Orgasms for all! Let them eat orgasms! Okay I am done.
More music
In 2011 I set the intention for more live music, and I saw over 100 amazing live shows in 2012. (Two music festivals, Bonnaroo and Firefly, helped bolster that lofty number.) This year, I want to MAKE more music. I have a ukulele and I can barely play anything on it. It's sad. I am going to dedicate more time to making music this year. Even if it's in my bedroom, alone, because it's too terrible to share.
More WRITING
Professionally and for fun, I plan to write more in 2013. More freelancing, more blogging, more working on fiction and nonfiction projects…less editing other people's writing (my day job, in case you didn't know) and more creating my OWN.
Looking back on those resolutions most of them sort of follow the theme that I am kinda maybe sort of pathetically lonely. Which is silly because I see people on the reg! But being alone is different than being lonely, so I guess I need to work on my real-life connections.
2013 is going to be a big year full of a zillion big changes for me, most of which I can't openly talk about on the Internet yet. But things are brewing and I am excited.
Tell me your 2013 intentions (or resolutions..whatever).

If you're a draft junkie in the Philadelphia area, be sure to join us at McFadden's next Tuesday night for a special event. Should be a lot of fun.
Over the next 10 days, I'll go position-by-position, taking a look at the Eagles' current roster, in an attempt to determine where their biggest draft needs are.
First up is offensive tackle.
The situation: The Eagles are set with their starting right and left tackles for years to come. Winston Justice showed last season he can start on the right side, and the Eagles rewarded him with a contract extension that runs through 2013. Is Justice a finished product at 25 years old? No. He still needs to improve. But considering how he stepped up last season, it's reasonable to believe he will get better.
Almost exactly one year ago, the Eagles dealt for left tackle Jason Peters and awarded him with a six-year deal. Two things about his 2009 campaign: One, he did not live up to Andy Reid's billing as the best left tackle in the league. Two, there's no denying that the Eagles were better with him on the field than with one of his replacements. Peters was up and down, and it doesn't help that he had one of his worst games of the year in the playoff loss to the Cowboys. However, he showed flashes of being the kind of player the Eagles pictured him to be when they traded for him.
Depth: There are a lot of question marks here. Last season, when Peters went down, it was Todd Herremans sliding over to left tackle and the Eagles bringing in a reserve to play guard (Nick Cole, Max Jean-Gilles and Stacy Andrews all rotated in at various times). But will the Birds have the same luxury this year? If Cole is counted on to fill in for Jamaal Jackson at center, and Herremans slides over to tackle, the team would have to count on a guard combo of Jean-Gilles and and Andrews. Far from ideal.
Andrews is a key here. When he arrived, most penciled him in as the right tackle. Instead, he was moved to guard and had a disastrous first season in Philadelphia. His health and performance will be a major factor in determining how flexible the Eagles are when a lineman goes down with an injury. Will he be good enough to start at right guard? Will he be good enough to provide depth there? What about tackle? Could he fill in if needed? Those are the questions that will need to be answered.
The only other tackles on the roster are King Dunlap and Fenuki Tupou. Dunlap, a seventh-round pick in 2008, will be entering his third season. It was obvious last season that the coaching staff did not think he was capable of being a contributor, or he likely would have gotten in the games when Peters was out. Tupou was a fifth-round pick last season, who was placed on injured reserve in September.
My take: The Eagles have bigger holes than offensive tackle, but the last thing they want is to be stuck in a major bind should Peters or Justice go down, especially with a young quarterback taking over. Sliding Herremans over is OK, but it makes them weaker at two positions. Ideally, the Eagles would be able to bring in a reserve tackle and leave Herremans at left guard, should Peters go down.
We'll throw the old "best player available" caveat into all these posts, because for the most part, it holds true. That being said, I would be surprised if the Eagles went offensive tackle in the first round, but it really wouldn't shock me to see them draft one after that. Again, several factors go into this: how they feel about the current players on the roster (mentioned above), how they have the tackle prospects graded, and when those guys go off the board. The Eagles have drafted a tackle in five of the last six seasons, and addressing their depth here is a good idea.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas is dealing with plenty of problems this week, struggling to find solutions after suffering through two straight embarrassing losses.
The tailspin has knocked the Razorbacks from their top 10 preseason ranking and wiped away their lofty goal of competing for a national title.
But Rutgers doesn't exactly care about Arkansas' turmoil.
Its goal is to improve to 4-0 for just the third time since 1980.
"It's what we prepared for all offseason," cornerback Logan Ryan said in an interview on the school's website. "Those hot summer days and all those workouts and everything we do, to play big-time football down there."
The Scarlet Knights will get that opportunity Saturday, traveling to Fayetteville for the first meeting between the schools. Rutgers is 5-11-2 all-time against SEC teams, but hasn't played anyone from the conference since beating Vanderbilt 37-34 in 2004. The win came before the SEC began its string of national championships.
Arkansas hasn't proven to be one of those title-worthy teams because of its slide, but Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said it won't change his team's motivation this week as it tries to build on last Thursday's 23-13 win at South Florida in a Big East game.
"I think they are just a dangerous team in general regardless of what their record is," Flood said. "They are as physically talented a group as any group we'll play all year."
The game is the first of a home-and-home series between the schools.
Neither team is ranked, which is hard to imagine after the Razorbacks opened the year No. 8. Rutgers is creeping into the conversation after three straight wins, though, receiving votes in last week's Associated Press poll.
Quarterback Gary Nova said a win against Arkansas would help the Scarlet Knights even if Arkansas' struggles continue this season.
"It's a huge opportunity," Nova said. "This is the reason why you play Division I football, for games like this on the national level. It's a great opportunity for this program to obviously take the next step and be recognized on the national level."
Rutgers is accomplishing it so far in its first season under Flood, who moved into the position after Greg Schiano left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason.
Flood was an assistant on Schiano's staff for the previous seven seasons, playing a role in Rutgers' recent rise. The Scarlet Knights were a combined 27-86 during a 10-year period from 1995-2004, struggling to gain ground in the Big East.
But Rutgers registered its first winning record in 10 seasons in 2005 and hasn't looked back. Schiano's teams were a combined 56-33 the past seven seasons, which included bowl games in six of those years.
"I remember Rutgers as being just horrible years ago," said Arkansas coach John L. Smith, who coached against Rutgers while at Louisville and Michigan State. "They've built a major, major program. They're formidable. … They can beat anybody."
Rutgers did beat South Florida on the road in its Big East opener last Thursday, surviving a penalty-plagued performance to grab its third win.
Running back Jawan Jamison led the way on offense, logging 41 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown in the win. He ranks seventh in the nation in rushing yards (393) and has topped the 100-yard mark in four straight games dating back to 2011.
Rutgers has been strong defensively, too, with linebacker Khaseem Greene, who was named the Big East's Co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2011. The Scarlet Knights are ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense (8.3 points a game) and 12th in total defense (249.3 yards a game).
"When I watch them on film, they remind me a lot of what we saw from Texas A&M last year," Arkansas center Travis Swanson said. "They rely on their scheme a lot to move around with different blitzes, different looks. It's a challenge."
Flood was asked about the chaos that seems to be surrounding the Razorbacks this week and said "the mood in their locker room" isn't his concern. His only goal is to make sure Rutgers takes advantage of its opportunity and enjoys a successful trip.
"This game is important because it's the only game we get to play this week," Flood said. "It's not important because the team we are playing is from any particular conference around the country. … So regardless of who our opponent, our goal this week is to be 1-0. It has nothing to do with the conference they play in."

In times of grave economic crisis, progressive groups have historically found an opening. This time, over the past five years, liberals and leftists have been left flailing away while the far right moved in to cause a seismic shift in American politics. I explore some whys and wherefores of this at Souciant this week.

In Souciant this week, I examine the weakness of the Left in the US despite numbers that should mean it is much stronger. In times of economic stress like these, the left should be able to provide alternatives, and make them actionable. While liberals fight to hold the center and Tea Partiers push the country to a radical and self-destructive right, the left continues to eat itself. It need not be.

JERUSALEM (WNS—PALCOR AGENCY—All citizens of Jerusalem were forbidden to use thc streets and trafiic was completely banned from thc hours of 8 P, M. to C A, M., as an unprecedented curfew was imposcij Mpon the city as a result of the con- Btcrn-ition resulting from the murder of three Jews as they were coming out of thc Edison Cincnia in the cen¬ ter of Zichron Moshe; Jewish quarter in thc heart of Jerusalem. Constables with machine guns patrolled Jerusa¬ lem as police and military took the strongest precautions to guard against the renewal of attacks. The Old City wa.s surrounded with.the heaviest pa¬ trols. The cold-blooded murders, .when a young Arab emptied a revolver into the crowd emerging from the movie^ have aroused thp Jewish community of Palestine to a high pitch of tense excitement, Thc government is being held responsible by Jewish leaders for having conducted negotiations with thc Arab leaders, thus indicating its weakness to deal with tlie disorders. So widespread is thc bewilderment and uncertainty that the government is expected to issue a .proclamation declaring that a state of emergciicy exists in Jerusalem, thus virtually puttitig the Holy City under martial law. With these assassinations, 23 Jews have been killed or have died from wounds inflicted by Arabs, since the outbreaks began at Jaffa bn April 19. The number of Arab dead totals 15, all of whom were killed by police fire. Thc thryc men who were killed were all young. Isaac Jalowski, 27 years . old,, was. married six weeks ago. Dr. Zvi Spachowski, 35, came here from Poland a. few months ago with his wife, who is an expectant mother. Alexander Polonslty, 23, from Poland, was a -student in (he School of Orien¬ tal Studies at the Hebrew University. One of thcin had died instantly; the other two succumbed shortly after the bullets entered their bodie-s. Two otliers in the. movie crowd who were slightly wounded- were Nahum As- kenazi and Dr. A. Sehlosser. A. hush of eerie silence blanketed the streets of Jerusalem with only soli- Jtary footfalls breaking thc stillness I of the stringent curfew. Walking [through this Holy City can be done only by special iicrmission of the gov¬ ernment. A limited number of passes has been issued to doctors, nurses, government officiats, special consta¬ bles among the civilians, journalists, bakers and milkmen. Strong police patrols on every sti-eet examine cars in transit .^nd . put every pedestrian through a thorough examination. Stray shots were heard in various parts of Jerusalem. The police replied with rifle fire in one instance, but no lone was hurt. An ofiicial communiiiuo expressed the High .Commissioner's regret re¬ garding the murder of thc three Jews by art unknown person. Police, it is said, have particulars about the mur¬ derer and expect shortly to have further evidence. Two suspected Arabs were arrested but were later released as having no connection with the murder. The shooting began so suddenly at the movie that the crowd was thrown into a panic. Thc mur¬ derer is described as having been dressed in European clothes and as being bareheaded, A number of wo¬ men went into hysterics and fainted. The streets of Jerusalem rapidly emp¬ tied. . The police sent out patrols searching for the taxi into which the , assassin had escaped after emptying his revolver. It is believed that the taxi's license number was takien. The police issued an app«il over the radio for help in apprehending the central . figure in last night's movie murders. A request wept out for information regarding a. small green saloon car seen in the vicinity of the Edison Cinema. A suspect has been arrested. In an effort to impress the' country^ ¦ side with the strength of the forces available to quell disturbances, infan¬ try troops, accompanied by tanks, inarched "demonstratively" through various parts of the Southern and Northern Districts of Paleatine.

Mark, love that TWiT intro I think its perfect!
- Dorothy Yamamoto, avid TWIT listener
Genious......pure Genius!
- DJ No Name, host on 107.7 the End in Seattle
Wow, I love the stuff on your site!
- Derek Colanduno, host of the AMP'd Podcast
There are thousands of podcasts floating around on the internet, and most of them are not that good.
Many people will decide whether or not they want to keep listening to a show within less than a minute.
The easiest way to draw people in from the beginning is with a custom theme.
A theme song will make your podcast sound professional right from the start, and that will keep more people listening.
Look at the most popular podcast in the world, This Week in Tech.
Their theme (which we made for them) sets up the feel for the whole show.
When you hear that music you know what's coming next - a good time.
Without a theme all you have are a bunch of people hanging out and talking.
Add in that theme music and you have a show that people want to hear.
What many people do not realize is that it is illegal to use copyrighted music in your podcast unless you own the copyright. The only way to include a theme in your podcast legally is to either make one yourself or have one made for you. With a catchy original theme, people will have the music stuck in their head, and are much more likely to remember your podcast and recommend it to their friends.
Currently, Podcast Themes is run by 1 person: Mark Blasco. That's me, the one who wrote and recorded all of the music on this site. I know how hard it can be for someone who is not a musician to find affordable high quality audio production services. My goal with this site is to provide high quality custom recordings for people who do not have the resources to do it themselves.
We provide professional themes and audio production at affordable rates - sometimes even for free. If you were to go to a recording studio and ask for the same service, they would have to hire a composer, hire musicians, and spend hours recording and mixing everything. It may cost you $2000 for a simple theme song. We have all of the equipment and knowledge to do the same thing in house, keeping the costs way down. Our plans range from short simple themes to elaborate custom sound collections. We have plans starting at $50. That is less than the cost of going out to dinner, yet can dramatically increase the number of people who will listen to your show. We can even provide some themes for free.
Listen to some of our previous themes and take a look at our prices. You will see that we offer professional theme music for a fraction of what you would pay anywhere else.
Over the last year I've been working on a few albums, writing some musicals, and remodeling the studio. All of that is finished now, so we're back up and running here at podcastthemes.com. I've been doing several projects where the clients didn't want the music posted on the site, so that is why there haven't been many updates. If you want to hear more of my recent music, feel free to check out markblasco.com.
Since several people have asked why there haven't been many audio samples posted lately, here is the rundown of what I have been working on:
Earlier in the year I wrote and filmed a short musical about composting at the University of Washington (It won an award, so I guess I should be calling it an "award winning musical"). That was followed by several video entries into Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible Competition (one of those entries, Mr. Terrible, won the competition, and was included in the worldwide DVD release.
Currently, I am working on several album projects, including the new Cirrus Bay album (which I am playing drums and bass on, as well as recording and mixing), an album for folk singer Virginia Blashill, several songs with Donovan Richards (on which I am producing, as well as playing drums, bass, and some keys), and then I am also working on some of my own stuff.
I should have the final version of the Kindness Grew Up song "Memory" finished within the next couple of weeks. Right now it just needs the vocals recorded and a couple of small edits before mixing.
My notebook is filled with other ideas, including a set of short musicals about zombies, another dozen or so songs for both the Kindness Grew Up and They Are Deadly Sparkles albums, and the beginning of my demo reel for film scores.
I know it's been a little while, but the audio samples page has been updated with a couple of new themes.
So, a while back I wrote a couple of songs for a competition to join the Evil League of Evil. Here is one of them. Enjoy!
Watch Mr. Terrible take over the world!
For some reason a part of my database has been corrupted, so I will need to rebuild it. In the mean time, some of the samples and more recent news entries are missing. It shouldn't have changed or erased any of the audio content, but if you have trouble accessing one of your projects, please let me know so I can fix that as soon as possible.
There are a lot of new audio samples up on the audio pages. While I have been working on projects over the last few months, I have forgotten to update the website. Well, now there are some lovely new bits for you to check out.
Just posted is the new theme to the Linux Action Show - it has a rock superhero feel, and I really like this one. Check it out!

Stars including One Direction, Jessie J and Nicole Scherzinger have banded together to help raise a record $120 million so far for Britain's 2013 Comic Relief fundraiser.
The Wanted, Simon Cowell, Hugh Grant and Gwyneth Paltrow all made appearances on a live TV telethon on Friday night to pull in cash for good causes in the U.K. and Africa.
Highlights from the show included Jessie J shaving off her hair in front of the cameras and a Ricky Gervais comedy sketch, in which the funnyman reprised his hapless The Office character David Brent for a reggae music video.
Viewers watched as music mogul Cowell 'married' his ideal partner – himself – in a church filled with his showbiz pals JLS, Sharon Osbourne, David Walliams and Sinitta.
Comedian Walliams also filmed a hilarious spoof entitled David's Exes, in which the comedian pays a visit to each of his 'former famous lovers', including Notting Hill's Grant and David Schwimmer, to confess he has a sexually transmitted disease. Paltrow opened her door to Walliams in her sports bra, while supermodel Kate Moss stole the show in a skin-tight black leather dress.
The fundraiser for Britain's Red Nose Day also featured performances by pop sensations One Direction, an appearance by Hollywood funnyman Will Ferrell as his famous Anchorman character Ron Burgundy and moving stories of famine and poverty in Africa.
The show wrapped up in the early hours of Saturday and provisional figures suggest a staggering $120 million was pulled in through viewer donations as well as charity events held during the 2013 Comic Relief festivities.

November 17, 2008I have a confession, Ultimate Fighting (commonly referred to as Mixed Martial Arts--or MMA) is my favorite sport…me a middle-aged picture book author and mother of three. But isn't Ultimate Fighting dangerous and lacking the rules and regulations of more main-stream sports like boxing? I used to think so.
Honestly, I was never a sports fan. I've always been hopelessly uncoordinated and terrible at every sport I tried (is pie-eating a sport?--it's the only thing I've won). Fighting of any sort never appealed to me, certainly not Ultimate Fighting.
Then my husband convinced me to take a martial arts class with... see more

Dear TDI Readers:
As most of you know, I have not posted to this blog for a few months and I have decided not to post to it again after this evening. Instead, I am launching the Principled Innovation Blog, which is integrated with my company's new website that will launch in the next ten days.
When the new blog is live, you will be able to reach it at https://www.principledinnovationblog.com. As of this evening, this URL will take you to a Go Daddy parked domain page.
I've really enjoyed writing this blog and I want to thank you for reading it. The Principled Innovation Blog will be a little bit different from this one. On the new blog, I'll talk more about my company and my work, along with my continued focus on innovation and associations. In addition, I'll be posting more of my more random thoughts about life, with an eye toward provoking discussion in a more humorous fashion.
At this point, I plan to keep this blog up and available as an archive site, rather than making its posts part of the new blog. For me, the Principled Innovation Blog is a clean slate, a chance to try out a new voice and new ideas. I may reference something from this blog from time to time. of course, but mostly I'll be starting fresh. I'm looking forward to the challenge and I hope you'll enjoy the experience right along with me!
