Members of the Survivors Campus Life Tour were arrested yesterday during a lawful pro-life outreach at a public high school. It does not matter whether you agree with using graphic abortion images or not, this is a violation of their civil rights and an attack on free speech.
The Survivors was founded by Jeff White who is also my mentor and the co-founder of Rock for Life with me. Jeff is the reason I started in full time pro-life work almost 20 years ago; he is an inspiration to so many young pro-lifers. The Survivors is truly one of the most important youth pro-life organizations in the world. These are my roots.
As Youth Outreach Director for Priests for Life, my job is to help educate, activate and equip young people to be a voice for life in this culture of death. When courageous young people like the Survivors are arrested for standing up for life and practicing free speech we must be outraged. We at Priests for Life stand by the Survivors, they are an inspiration to young pro-lifers around the world.
Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life said, "Those who are persecuting these brave young pro-life activists are cowards, and a good example of what is wrong in our culture today. I consider the Survivors to be a movement within the pro-life movement, inspiring all of us to give ourselves more generously for the unborn. Sometimes that means arrest and prison, not for doing wrong, but for standing up against wrongdoing."
Here are the reports coming in from the Survivors Facebook Page and some action items you can do to help these young, brave pro-life warriors. We will keep adding updates as they come in.
BREAKING NEWS: Survivors arrested in Jackson, Mississippi! The Campus Life Team were arrested for standing on a public sidewalk in front of Murrah High this afternoon. Moments after arriving at the campus to share the message of Life, Kristina Garza and Brianna Baxter were handcuffed and taken to the county jail while two more members had their signs and lit taken from them and were forced across the street. Please pray as the Survivors continue standing for their first amendment rights in this situation! We will keep you updated.
URGENT REQUEST: The Survivors are STILL being punitively held at the Hinds County Jail. At this point, Jackson will probably attempt to hold them overnight. Do you want to help the Survivors? Call the Hinds County Jail booking office RIGHT NOW and ask that the Survivors be released! Call 601-857-4800, ask for Deputy Williams (booking Deputy).
LOCAL NEWS: As quoted in this news article from WAPT, the superintendent of Jackson Public Schools and local law enforcement say they had "no recourse but to arrest the demonstrators," claiming the Survivors were trespassing and creating a safety issue. The Survivors were on a PUBLIC SIDEWALK when they were arrested, peacefully handing out literature and holding signs. Murrah, the only safety issue we see is your administration endangering our right to freedom of speech.
KEEP THE CALLS GOING! Survivors have just found out that Jackson PD is holding the team because the Campus Enforcement will not release the paperwork. The more calls coming into the booking office, the faster they will move to get that paperwork! PLEASE CALL 601-857-4800, request to speak with Deputy Williams (booking deputy), ask him why they haven't released the young pro-lifers arrested early this afternoon!
UPDATE: Jackson PD kept Kristina Garza and Brianna Baxter in the county jail all night after unlawfully arresting them yesterday afternoon for "disorderly conduct" and "interfering with a bus driver." BOTH FALSE CHARGES. The Survivors were handing out literature on a public sidewalk — an activity that is well within their rights as citizens and which poses no danger to anyone around them. Kristina and Brianna will go before the judge at 9 AM this morning. PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS!
Update 10:25 AM Both Kristina and Brianna are being held on $2000 bonds each. They were not put on the court docket today but the rest of the team is trying hard to get them added to this afternoon's docket. Please pray that they get in front of a judge this afternoon and do not have to spend anymore time behind bars.
Update 2:30 PM Both Kristina and Brianna are being RELEASED! The judge has decided to release both of the Survivors, trusting them to show back up for a court hearing on April 6th. We are praying that the charges are dropped before that date.
Update: 6:30 PM Here is the official press release and video of the arrests:
On March 5. 2012, the Survivors Campus Life Team attempted to distribute literature to and engage students in discussion about abortion at Murrah High School in Jackson, MS. Within minutes, school administration and Jackson police officers attempted to block Survivors missionaries from sharing their message, ordered students off the public sidewalk, threatened to arrest the Campus Life Team missionaries, and went so far as to grab missionaries' signs and cameras.
Pro-Life Youth Arrested for Peaceful Free Speech Activity on Public Sidewalk
Life Legal Defense Foundation Defends Activists in Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss., March 7, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ — Yesterday, two college-age members of the Survivors Campus Life Tour were arrested on a public sidewalk outside of Murrah High School in Jackson, Mississippi, while distributing literature to students in front of the campus.
The group of pro-life youth activists first attempted to hold signs, distribute literature, and peacefully dialogue with students on the public sidewalk on Monday. Jackson School Police Officers immediately confronted the group and moved their signs across the street, sequestered students back inside the school grounds, and ordered students not to take the literature being handed out or speak with the demonstrators. The police claimed that the sidewalk belonged to the school and that they had a right to remove the pro-life activists. At the same time, the Survivors observed that the same sidewalk they were denied access to was being used by passersby and joggers.
After conferring with their attorneys from the Life Legal Defense Foundation (LLDF), the Campus Life Team returned to the public sidewalk in front of Murrah High School yesterday. When the police told the activists to leave the sidewalk or go to jail, Kristina Garza and Brianna Baxter remained, and were immediately arrested.
"Law enforcement officers and officers of the court are charged with protecting our civil liberties, but in this case they are intentionally conspiring to subvert the legal process and deny these pro-life advocates their right to due process of law," said Dana Cody, executive director of Life Legal Defense Foundation. "Rest assured, everyone involved in the miscarriage of justice will be held accountable for their misdeeds."

Posted on 02/08/2013 9:12:41 AM PST by SkyPilot
Republicans open to letting billions in sequester cuts go through figure they can blame the president if the economy goes south.
But Democrats are betting they can shift that blame right back to the GOP.
Theyre so confident, in fact, that theyre already eyeing at least 10 Republican-held seats with strong military connections from Florida to California to target in 2014, after sequester cuts have trickled down to local bases where jobs are lost and voters notice.
Republicans who are unwilling to compromise, unwilling to find solutions and are responsible for cuts to defense and jobs in their districts are going to find an unwelcome reception from voters, said Jesse Ferguson, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The Republicans can't say they weren't warned: The Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday that sequestration could cost 1 million jobs and send the country into another recession.
If anyone should know about sequestration politics, itd be the Republicans.
Mitt Romney warned about the devastating job losses from sequestration as he toured 2012 battleground states. But the campaign last year revolved around theoretical spending cuts.
Say sequestration kicks in on March 1: then lawmakers are suddenly in a much different place, reacting to very real reductions in government services the public relies on, as well as a rippling of layoffs in the private sector.
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner both said this week theyd like to avoid sequestration, but they are worlds apart in how to address it and have shown no signs that negotiations will resume to end it. Proposals bouncing around Capitol Hill to delay the cuts have yet to build a critical majority and House and Senate leaders are still gaming out whether votes will come up on any of them.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Spend spend spend
Tax tax tax
Spend spend spend
owebama is the original proponent of sequestration, therefore if it happens it is the republicrats' fault.
Well, if Politico says it is a time bomb for the GOP, by all means, we should follow their advice.
The entire problem is the ineffectiveness of the republicans as politicians.
Fight fire with fire.
No mention that the Sequester was a White House idea. The GOP needs to point this out every time they have a chance.
Uhhh, as I recall, sequestration WAS the compromise. A compromise initiated and pushed for by OBAMA! And Obama has not suggested any alternative cuts to substitute for the sequestration cuts. Barky OWNS this.
agree- play the lefts game against them and the left is done...
The sad reality is the majority of the American public does not want spending cuts. We are no different than Europe at this point. The population is far more secular, socialist and selfish than it used to be, and it is very hard for Republicans to oppose the Santa Claus president and his party. Oh sure, people will say the budget should be cut, but they don't want anything cut that could in any way effect them. This is real problem, the public is being told by the education, media and entertainment establishments that big government is good, that it works, and that debt doesn't matter - and they believe it. The reasons the GOP typically back down on these issues is that the public simply isn't with them.
No mention that the Sequester was a White House idea. The GOP needs to point this out every time they have a chance.
Also no mention that Obama himself signed the sequester cuts into law either.
Simple, "the President has to identify the cuts he wants to make. We already gave him his revenue."
Then walk away.
You know that and I know that, but the low information voters will never know it because of the complicit MSM. The GOP has masterfully been triangulated into a corner. Even if the GOP leadership had cojones, there is no way they can win this public relations battle. Sequestration will cost jobs and likely lead to recession, but it is the only way I see that a dent in future budget growth can be made. It may be better to face the pain and suffering of a collapse now rather than later.
Of course the GOP will get the blame. The "media" direct the low-info sheeple to blame Repubs, and they'll do it on cue.
Sequestration was Obama's idea. The msm won't ever point that out however, as they will carry water for their Savior one more time.
Instead of blame, how about the GOP getting credit for the savings. With a budget of around 700 billion, a 50 billion dollar cut is not going to cause the place to close down. Of course, to exert pressure, they will initially threaten to lay off everyone, scrap aircraft carriers, ground air wings, and disband army divisions. Only as a last resort will they actually look at cutting a small amount of non essential spending. That is the bureaucratic way.
Get used to calling it "Obama's sequestration". He was the creator after all even though the MSM would have you to believe the GOP was responsible.
As usual, Obama and the DemocRATs play 3-dimensional chess while the hapless Republicans play Tiddly Winks and wonder why they can't get a break.
Morons like Boehner and McConnell should be thrown out on their asses!
One would think that a $50B cut in a $700B budget could be done in a way that doesn't cause massive turmoil by cutting non-essential spending. But, this sequestration doesn't work that way. The law says all elements of the budget take the same hit. Even if you could identify the non-essential spending, you can take the cut only in those elements.
The other problem is that this 10% cut equates to a 20% cut. The whole cut isn't spread out across the whole year. It only affects the last six months.
Suppose you're an agency with a 100 employees. You could have cut 10 at the beginning of the year, but the administration wouldn't allow that because those cuts would have been a month before the election. Now the same agency has to cut 20 people...
Even though one could argue that federal employees are overpaid and underworked, this still means the GOP will have to justify a lot of lost jobs.
I was a vet, I know that in late July and early aug departments on every base are spending on things to back up fill up or make life more comfortable. We got new dorm furniture. Come on it is time to cut back for real in every darn department - that would be a winner for republicans, but they want to spend!!

Bobby Lashley Chokes Out Matthew Larson at 'GWC: British Invasion' [VIDEO]
(Props: TheMMAMoguls)
There's a good chance you haven't thought about Bobby Lashley in a long time. It's been years since the former WWE star was making short work of Bob Sapp, or competing in Strikeforce with varying degrees of success.
In May 2012, Lashley suffered the second loss of his career when he dropped a decision to James Thompson at Super Fight League 3; he was inactive for a year following that fight. But now, he's rebuilding. Earlier this month, Lashley scored a second-round keylock victory over Kevin Asplund at Titan FC 25, and last night he returned to action against Matthew Larson at Global Warrior Challenge: British Invasion card in Kansas City, Missouri, winning by rear-naked choke in 98 seconds. Check out the video above.
The victory bumped Lashley's MMA record to 9-2, and you can look at it one of two ways: 1) Lashley is still a powerful, dangerous s.o.b., particularly in the first round of a fight; or 2) Larson put up about as much resistance as a Bubba Dummy, and the sooner we forget this match the better.
Ater the jump: Full results from the "British Invasion" card — which also featured Ricco Rodriguez, Andre Winner, Drew Fickett, Kendall Grove, and LC Davis — and video of Grove's fight against Danny "Cheesecake Assassin" Mitchell.Read More DIGG THIS

Presidio Archaeology Lab
DateOctober 2010
Other Media
Archaeological artifacts from the Presidio of San Francisco reawaken in this versatile and enlightening Web site.
The Presidio Archaeology Lab of San Francisco provides a venue for the study and appreciation of archaeology. This lightweight and user-friendly Web site gives an overview of the institution and empowers visitors with resources for a greater understanding of the subject. Made in collaboration with staff at the Presidio, this Web site showcases their artifact collection and relates the story of the Presidio park in a refreshing way.
The heart of the online experience lies in the "story drawers," which display artifacts from the collection like pieces of a puzzle. Artifacts – like a set of torn playing cards found in a solders' barracks – open in a modal slideshow gallery where records reveal deeper content. Visitors are then exposed to the artifacts' historical origins and learn about the scientific methods used for piecing together clues about the object. To explain the geography and culture of the historic Presidio site, an interactive timeline chronicles notable milestones through stories and archival images. Other sections of the Web site provide a platform for the Presidio to communicate with the public and an opportunity to extend their audience. The online experience exists simultaneously as a touchscreen interactive onsite at the Lab.
In addition to the Web site, Second Story created a short narrative documentary that plays on a loop at their new visitor center. The video captures the excavation of an historic Presidio site while illustrating a typical day in the life of an archaeologist.

HP ROM (Read Only Memory) is now digitally signed using HP's Corporate
Signing Service. This signature is verified before the flash process starts,
reducing accidental programming and preventing malicious efforts to corrupt
system ROM.
HP ROM provides for essential initialization and validation of hardware
components before control is passed to the customer-installed operating
system. The ROM also provides the capability of booting from various fixed
media (HDD, CD-ROM) and removable media (USB), to continue operation to
the operating system.
HP ROM performs very early configuration of the video controller, to
allow monitoring of initialization progress via an attached monitor. If
configuration or hardware errors are discovered during this early phase
of hardware initialization, suitable messages are now displayed on the
connected monitor. Additionally, these configuration or hardware errors
are logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) to assist in diagnosis.
HP's ProLiant ROM is used to configure the following:

HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM)
version 5 provide a new, comprehensive approach to firmware and system
software maintenance. Together they provide better operating stability
and ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will be updated at a predictable cadence,
typically coinciding with new HP server hardware launches. By enabling
firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and system software
updates in one operation HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates of individual
servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem enclosures.
Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP provides
12 months of support on each Service Pack for ProLiant.

time. The HP SUM application has been re-written to provide a more straightforward,
intuitive user interface that guides the user through the steps of discovery,
analyses and update, providing comprehensive information on available
updates, criticality and interdependencies. This information is also available
in reports. By providing the option of multiple local or shared repositories
which can be easily updated from hp.com, HP SUM provides the tools to
optimize stability and consistency throughout the company. While HP SUM
and the SPP will recommend the combinations of firmware and system software
that HP has found to be the best practice, the application gives customers
the flexibility to set their own specific baseline.
The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific
attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within
the server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components
(Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the
highest quality as well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates
taking into account all interdepencies, when determining the correct updates
and order of update deployment.

Bali has been the favorite destination for locals and international tourists for ages. Bali has been the favorite destination for locals and international tourists for ages. Full of magnificent beaches, breathtaking sceneries, marvellous trinkets and interesting culture, Bali is ideal for people wanting to escape from daily activities, enjoy a honeymoon, or even, have a great time with family and friends.Bali is an Indonesian island located at 8°25'23?S 115°14'55?E, the western most of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country's 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island.
With a population recorded as 3,151,000 in 2005, the island is home to the vast majority of Indonesia's small Hindu minority. 93.18% of Bali's population adheres to Balinese Hinduism, while most of the remainder follow Islam. It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metal working and music.
Though no artifacts or records exist that would date Bali as far back as the Stone Age, it is thought that the very first settlers to Bali emigrated from China in 2500 BC, having created quite the evolved culture by the Bronze era, in around 300BC. This culture included a complex, effective irrigation system, as well as agriculture of rice, which is still used to this day.
Bali's history remained vague for the first few centuries, though many Hindu artifacts have been found, which lead back to the first century, indicating a tie with that religion. Though it is strongly held that the first primary religion of Bali, discovered as far back as 500 AD, was Buddhism. Additionally, Yi-Tsing, a Chinese scholar who visited Bali in the year 670 AD stated that he had visited this place and seen Buddhism there.
By the 11th century, Hindu and Javanese influences became very important to Bali. In fact, when the Balinese Prince Airlanggha's father died in about 1011 AD, he moved to East Java, uniting it under one principality and appointing his brother, Anak Wungsu, the ruler of all of Bali. Following this time, there were many reciprocal political and artistic ideas that formed. Javanese language, called Kawi, became the aristocracy's preference, among other Javanese traits and customs that were worked into Bali life.
When Airlanggha died in the mid-11th century, Bali remained quite autonomous until 1284, when East Javanese king Kertanegara conquered Bali and ruled over it from his home in Java. Kertanegara was assassinated in 1292, and Bali was once again liberated, until 1343 when it was brought back into Javanese control by Hindu-Javanese general Gajah Mada, of the Majapahit empire.
At this time, the 16th century, Islam was spreading throughout Sumatra and Java, and the Majapahit Empire started to fall, creating a large exodus of aristocracy, priests, artists and artisans to Bali. This brought Bali great prosperity, becoming Bali's golden age of cultural history for the following centuries. Bali soon became the major power of the region, taking control of its neighboring country, Lombok, as well as pieces of East Java.
In 1597, Dutch seamen were the first Europeans to land in Bali, though they had no true interest in Bali until the 1800's. In 1846 the Dutch returned with colonization on their minds, having already had vast expanses of Indonesia under their control since the 1700's. The Dutch sent troops into northern Bali, and by 1894, they had sided with the Sasak people of Lombok to defeat the Balinese. By 1911, all Balinese principalities were under Dutch control.
After World War I, a sense of Indonesian Nationalism began to grow, leading to the declaration of the national language in 1928, as Bahasa Indonesia. World War II brought the Japanese, who expelled the Dutch and occupied Indonesia from 1942 until 1945.
The Japanese were later defeated, and the Dutch returned to attempt to regain control of Bali and Indonesia. However, in 1945, Indonesia was declared independent by its very first president, Sukarno. The Dutch government ceded, and Indonesia was officially recognized as an independent country in 1949.
People & Culture
Bali's reputation as a tourist destination is already established in the minds of so many people around the world. It is known as a beautiful island with mountains, temples, palaces and visits of terraced rice fields.
Tajen Bali's Culture
It is known as a place where traditions of art and culture predominate, where the village way of life based on their strong religious beliefs is still in place.
But, it is also a place where modern sports such as diving, sailing, rafting and above all surfing have taken hold and are enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year. It is a place where the ultimate luxuries of life: fine dining, spas and massage have reached the peak of perfection.
Behind all of this is a single unseen premise; none of these practices, pursuits and pleasures are created as tourist industries in Bali, but are based on the talents, dedication and skills of the Balinese people in their normal course of life.
Like the food of other regions in Indonesia, Balinese food is rice as the central dish served with small portions of spicy, pungent vegetables, fish or meat and served almost always with sambal or chili paste. Bali is a few of the regions in Indonesia whose majority of its people are non Muslims, thus babi guling or roasted suckling pig is a specialty, as is bebek betutu, smoked stuffed duck wrapped in bamboo leaves.
In Jimbaran area, for instance, you can sample seafood dishes while sitting on the beach. Visit this place in the evening, the cool atmosphere and caressing breeze will make your dining experience remarkable.
How To Get There ?
Most international visitors will fly to Bali directly.
- Numerous direct flights from Europe, America, Australia and most Asian Countries.
- Domestic flights to and from major cities within Indonesia.
- Regular passenger ferries from Java and Lombok.
- Cruise ship stop-offs.
- By car or bus from Java.

Would they retire and become writers for Rolling Stone? Or would they continue, as continuance is strength? If they did, who would sing? Noodles, and they'd be a threesome? Pete Parada, and Josh Freese would become the drummer? Or Billie Joe Armstrong, to add some spice into their renditions of "All I Have Left is You"? Any thoughts?

I've never heard that anywhere. Gut feelings are good only to assess whether you've got intestinal parasites. Canadian students are international; just pick up any brochure that describes class composition. Several will give you the country of origin of their international students. Canada is invariably there.
As far as a US resident with an undergrad at a Canadian university, you're probably going to be in the same pool as other US residents. You'll also probably be at a slight disadvantage since Admissions officers probably know less about the quality of your undergraduate university.I think the more interesting question is whether it helps or hurts your chances to be an international applicant in general.
Yes, if you went to U of T or McGill, you're probably good. Not quite as good as you'd be had you gone to an Ivy League, but it certainly won't count against you.On the other hand, there's plenty of good universities in Canada that have almost no international recognition at all.

You sort of knew Saturday Night Live had to go after the excesses of Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice. But the show took an unexpected, clever, and note-perfect approach.
Framed as one of ESPN's Outside the Lines investigative specials, it posed rousing guest host Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly) as one Sheila Kelly, the coach of the women's basketball coach at Division III school, Middle Delaware State.
(Later in the same episode, on "Weekend Update" Kenan Thompson did a funny impression of Charles Barkley, who was having trouble with state schools himself.)
Crazy abusive coaches are no laughing matter, but SNL found a way to make it hilarious. See for yourself. (Warning: All the profanities are bleeped out in this skit, but there are a lot of them.)

Gallery: Los Angeles Lakers Dr. Jerry Buss Memorial At Nokia Theatre
A different version of Showtime broke out in honor of the man that first constructed it.
Current and former Lakers dazzled the crowd at Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles Thursday about stories regarding the late owner Jerry Buss, who died Monday from kidney failure after spending the past 18 months fighting an unspecified form of cancer.
"Just being around him and just feeling the warmth in him, he was genuine," said former Lakers player and executive Jerry West. "He was a man for all people."
That's why it was only fitting that Magic Johnson asked the estimated 50 current and former Lakers and coaches in attendance to stand up near the end of the ceremony. Johnson then asked to entire 3,000 in attendance to hold up their thumb and index fingers in a "L" shape to demonstrate their affection for the Lakers.
"This is a celebration of life," Johnson proclaimed. "This is a celebration of success. We shouldn't be sad. We should be happy that the man enjoyed his life and did it his way."
Buss, 80, bought the Lakers in 1979, when he purchased the team along with the Forum, the NHL's Kings and a 13,000-acre ranch in Kern County for $67.5 million from Jack Kent Cooke. He oversaw 10 of the Lakers' 16 titles. Buss became the first Lakers owner to get an NBA Finals victory over heated rival Boston Celtics, going 3-2 under his watch. Forbes recently estimated the Lakers at $1 billion partly in thanks to a lucrative 20-year deal with Time Warner Cable.
"When I think of Jerry, I like to think of him at his beloved poker table," said Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "I think of him sitting there with the world's best poker players, standing back and suddenly pushing his chips into the middle. Then with a twinkle in his eye, he says, "All In." That's the way Jerry lived all the time."
Such a mind-set ensured the Lakers had plenty of stars, including Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that Jerry was nothing less than a transformational force in the history of sports," NBA Commissioner Stern said. "Creating the value proposition through pricing, naming rights, cable TV networks, TV rights and entertainment all of which underlie all stadium and arena construction in the United States and around the world."
Buss' influence appeared pretty obvious.
His memorial brought out plenty of former Lakers (Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal), current Lakers (Bryant, Pau Gasol), former coaches (Pat Riley, Phil Jackson) and former executives (West). Other guests also included New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett, NBA deputy Commissioner Adam Silver and former NBA player Bill Walton. They also included friends Frank Mariani (Buss' business partner) and Greg Tomlinson (friend of Jim Buss)
The entertainment aspect also played a huge part in the memorial.
All the speeches mixed with musical performances. They included Randy Newman ("You've Got a Friend in Me"), Davis Gaines ("Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera) and the USC band ("Amazing Grace")
The ceremony went beyond representing an extensive guest list. It was filled with stories.
"On the surface it seemed that everything went right for this man, and in a way it did, but not without strenuous work hours, passion, diligence," said Buss' son Johnny. "Not everything went right but because he was always thinking ahead, everything became right. His honesty, integrity, insight – coupled with kindness, humility and a gentle disposition. He truly had the right stuff."
Buss' other five children didn't speak, but each of them wrote a message in the program.
"You did it your way and I'm so proud of you," wrote Lakers executive vice president of player personnel, Jim Buss, following a stanza from Frank Sinatra's "My Way" underneath a photo of him and his father singing together.
"When questions and doubts creep into my mind, I will draw from your wisdom for you were my professor, my ally, my captain," wrote Lakers VP of business operations, Jeanie Buss.
Jeanie's fiance, former Lakers coach Phil Jackson, recalled Buss' wisdom playing a large part in persuading Bryant to back away from his trade demands in 2007.
"During one of those meetings, Dr. Buss said, `Kobe, if I had a diamond of great value, four or five carats, would I give up that diamond for four diamonds of one carat?" Jackson recalled. "No. There's no equal value for you. A trade would not net what you bring to this team."
Meanwhile, Bryant credited Buss for convincing him it was fine to hire Jackson in 2005, a year after the coach wrote in a book that Bryant was "uncoachable." Bryant also derived Buss' presence as a rallying cry for the current Lakers (26-29) as they try to climb back into playoff contention.
"I encourage all of you – me included – to look around the room and look at the greatness of one man's vision. The players that are here, the coaches that are here, we all have one thing in common and it's that we all believed in Dr. Jerry Buss. For us to look around this room and understand that we're playing for something bigger than ourselves, bigger than a single season, we are playing for the memory of a great man, Dr. Jerry Buss."
Buss is no longer with the Lakers to provide his guidance. But Riley believes he's currently providing that elsewhere.
"To be absent of the body is to be present with God," Riley said. "I have been notified by him and he is OK."

Hey everyone!
My LO is 10 weeks old and for the last few days we have been having issues with afternoon and evening feedings. She will eat fine at night and in the morning, but come afternoon, she won't eat barely at all. She'll latch for a few seconds, pull off, cry, latch again, pull off, cry, rinse and repeat. She acts like she is starving the whole time she does this.
I've been wondering if it's due to slow letdown but I've attempted feeding while compressing my breast and she still fusses as described above.
Lately she's been chewing on her hands and drooling a lot, so I'm wondering if she's starting to teethe. She's also been congested lately with green snot, instead of white like it was previously. She went to the pediatrician on Monday and checked out fine, but this has really been happening only the last few days.
I know 10 weeks is early for teething, but my sister and I both started teething at two months, as did my niece.
I was finally able to get her to eat tonight with expressed milk in a bottle, but I didn't want to really start bottle feeding her until I go back to work in four weeks. I'm really at a loss of what to do. Should I continue breast feeding her in the morning, and give her bottles at night when she's really fussy? Should I continue trying to get her to take the breast at night?
I appreciate any help you might have.

Handling Specialty custom designed and manufactured a mechanically-actuated shim table for a Canadian locomotive maintenance facility. The table was used in the shimming process which adjusts wheel diameter differentials.
After completing the trueing process where wheels are ground back to a uniform roundness, the locomotive positions the wheels over the shim table. The table then lifts the locomotive up 1" to relieve the downward forces on the traction motor. This permits rail personnel to place shims which drive the wheels down to evenly meet the tracks.

Corn: Right now there are no major concerns in the 15-day forecast. NOAA updated its July outlook with normal temps and normal rains through the entire month.
While $5.00 did hold Monday in December corn, it is now likely only to act as temporary support for this corn market. Bulls can look for a short-term bounce if exports are done or if weather concerns arrive, but for now the bears are in full control.
As long as corn is using 97+ million acres, history tells us that it is dangerous to trade against the numbers that USDA gives us. Look for weather concerns to arrive at some point offering support but otherwise look for a continued grind lower…Ryan Ettner
Soybeans: Export inspections came in at 4.518 million bushels, within the trade's expected range of 2.0 to 6.0 million bushels. The tight situation in the old-crop beans should continue to provide support for the old crop beans and bulls spreads as it looks like we still have some rationing to do to make sure we do not run out of beans.
As for new crop beans, Allendale has a long-term bearish view of for the new crop beans and is currently looking for a "fall low" at $10.54. We continue to recommend producers use rallies to market new-crop beans.
As a reminder, the markets will be trading a shortened week due to the 4th of July holiday. The markets close at noon on Wednesday and will reopen on Friday morning July 5th at 8:30 A.M…Jim McCormick
- Economic and political turmoil in Egypt could keep them out of the world wheat market for the next few weeks.
- Spring wheat good-to-excellent ratings were down 2% from last week at 68% this week. The winter wheat harvest is now 43% complete, which is up from 20% last week but down from the 5-year average of 52%.
- September Chicago wheat continues to make new lows, which could lead to test support of 625'0 from June 2012… Alex Bassett

Monticello Raceway's Heritage Drivers Series began on January 17 with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Pace, for drivers of African-American heritage, and continued throughout the year with a race for seven other ethnic groups and culminated with the Maple Leaf Mile, for drivers of Canadian descent on October 23. Now on Thursday, November 29 the winning drivers of each of the preliminary legs in the Heritage Drivers Series will return to battle in the final event dubbed the All-America Cup.
In what appears to be the most competitive of all the Heritage Drivers Series races the eight winning drivers in the preliminaries are set to battle.
The field for that event has been drawn and drivers were assigned to their pacers by a lottery drawing.
"On paper this is the most competitive of all the Heritage Drivers Series races this year with nearly any of the eight pacers having a chance to win," noted Eric Warner, the track's Director of Racing. "Many of the competing drivers are among the tracks leaders so it's anybody's ball game ."
Of the eight starting pacers their combined seasonal win total is 44 with Doug's Boy and Gin And Vermouth chiming in with 10 wins each.
Strangely, one of the aforementioned 10-time winners, Gin And Vermouth, is the favorite in the race and the other, Doug's Boy, a 10-1 shot.
Jimmy Devaux, winner of the Maple Leaf Mile, will handle Gin And Vermouth from post five while Alan Charles, winner of the Passover Trot, will be up behind Doug's Boy , a 1:59 winner in his last start, who'll leave from the seven-hole.. However, both pacers have won in 1:56 and a piece this year.
Jimmy Taggart, Jr., winner of the St Paddy Pace, has drawn 7-2 rated EHI Guaglione, a winner of six races the fastest this season a 1:57.4 effort on Oct. 9. Also with merit is Super Killean, a 1:58.3 winner in his last start who'll be handled by Bobby Williams, Jr., who won the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Pace. The former will start from the pole position while the latter will leave from the three-hole.
Other drivers in the event include Lisa Krom (Lady Godiva) with High Point (5-1) from post two; Mike Forte (Godfather Pace) with Amazda (6-1)from the four-hole; Zeke Parker ( Mayflower Mile) with Sues Destroyer (8-1) from post six and Mike Merton (Munich Mile) with Foomanchu (12-1)from the eight hole.
"This is a solid field and a great betting race," track announcer Howard Oil said after he looked over the official program. "There'll definitely be some good value in this race."
After the third race on Thursday's card one ethnicity will have earned bragging rights on the strength of their representative driver's victory in the All-America Cup.
First post is at 12.25pm.

When Lance Armstrong was stripped of his bronze medal last week, the International Olympic Committee never said the United States would be banned from the next Olympics if Armstrong failed to return the medal.
That's probably because if it did, everybody would think the IOC had lost its mind and was being unreasonable. Well, everybody but the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, that is.
Last week, the MIAA banned all Gardner High winter sports athletes from postseason play after the school failed to return the trophy it was given for winning the 2012 state sectional swim title.
Gardner school officials should have returned the trophy — like the MIAA asked — after being suspected of breaking an MIAA rule that said swimmers can't overlap their club and varsity schedules.
Instead, Mayor Mark Hawke showed off his wealth of Charlton Heston quotes, even offering to shine MIAA executive director Richard Neal's shoes and wash his car if it meant reinstating the Wildcats' playoff eligibility.
The mayor was fighting for the school and had good intentions, but he should have swallowed his pride and done the right thing — even if he believed the right thing wasn't done back in October. He should have known the MIAA has a tendency to be anything but rational in cases like this.
In the end, while the MIAA believes school and city officials broke the rules, innocent athletes are paying the price. Those being punished had nothing to do with what happened at Greenwood Pool or City Hall. They just want to finish their seasons and have a shot at a title.
Now that's been taken away from them.
The girls' basketball team is three wins away from qualifying for a playoff spot, while the boys' team is 3-8, but in second place in Wachusett League C, which is good enough to make the postseason, too. The indoor track team has a handful of athletes who deserve a spot at the Central Mass. meet, but the girls' hockey team might have the biggest beef with the MIAA.
The team is 4-2 after losing to Division 1 power Beverly Saturday night. Last season, it reached the Division 2 quarterfinals after qualifying for the postseason for the first time in the program's five-year history. The Wildcats were expected to make another run at the tournament. Now they don't get that chance.
"This is my fifth year playing on the team, and we wanted to make it happen," said senior co-captain Courtney Braman, who attends Gardner High. "We have six seniors on the team, and they all wanted the same thing. We worked so hard, and then we got sideswiped, and it was all taken away by something we weren't even a part of."
The co-op team has 17 players on its roster. Eleven are from Leominster High, two from Nashoba Regional, one from St. Bernard's and only three from Gardner. It's safe to say if this were the Leominster High co-op hockey team, the squad would have escaped the MIAA's wrath. But because Gardner is the host school, the whole team is being punished.
Braman, Erica Holm and Emily O'Reilly attend Gardner High. And like their teammates, they are baffled by what happened last week.
"It really sucks to have this happen — I don't even go to that school, so why am I being punished?" Leominster's Felicia Doiron said. "I feel like this team would do well in the playoffs. Now we don't even have a chance."
Bailey Miller said many of her Leominster High classmates were following the story in disbelief.
"About a thousand people talked to me about it," Miller said. "They all say they heard about us not being able to go to playoffs and they all think the same thing, that we didn't deserve it. Like in the Penn State scandal, only their football team got punished."
"We're getting punished for something a different team did," Nashoba's Kati Lombardozzi said.
Saturday night, the players showed up to Veteran's Rink in Gardner about an hour and a half before the game armed with balloons, streamers and posters. It was Senior Night, and the Wildcats still planned to honor their six seniors. They also plan on finishing out the season while hoping good news comes their way.
"We're still going to try to get the points to go to playoffs and see what happens," Doiron said.
Many of them will conclude their hockey careers after the season, one that they hoped would end with them raising one of those "cheap $5 wooden trophies" Hawke referred to them as.
"It would just break my heart not to be able to make the playoffs with these girls," said Taylor Field, a St. Bernard's student. "We've worked so hard and it means so much to us and I hope the MIAA sees that this punishment is unreasonable and changes their minds."
The MIAA was probably right to punish Gardner High. Instead, they punished the student-athletes, the only ones who didn't do anything wrong.

Vietnam Educator's Guide Activity: Rice
Rice is Vietnam's primary agricultural export, planted on more than 80 percent of the country's total farmland. People eat hundreds of varieties that differ in their flavor, smell, color, and stickiness. Many Vietnamese prefer short-grain white rice, but some ethnic groups prefer glutinous rice (sticky rice). They also eat rice products, such as noodles and wrappers for grilled foods and spring rolls.
- Look up different Vietnamese recipes for cooking rice either in cookbooks or on Web sites. Ask students to choose a rice dish to prepare as a class.
Vietnamese recipes, including rice dishes, are available at these websites:
|A Hmong village in the far north of Vietnam, surrounded by terraced fields. A labor-intensive enterprise in any circumstances, wet-rice cultivation on high mountain land is particularly challenging.
Banh chung, boiled, filled rice cakes, are an essential element of a Tet, or Lunar New Year, meal. Wrapped in a broad leaf to make a square green package, the banh chung symbolizes earth. While the production of banh chung was once a time-consuming household task, most families now buy their holiday supply from stalls like these.

While time jumps in mangas isn't a new story idea the 2-3 year time jump that Masashi Kishimoto gave Naruto was the best decision he could have made. The time jump has made Naruto a hundred times better than the pre-time skip Naruto. While I like the first part of Naruto overall I thought this was an average, and sometimes boring, read before the time skip. But now that Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and the rest of the cast have mature and become better ninja's the series has really stepped up its game with both the characters evolutions and the stories being told.
Now as for this volume of Naruto it starts off with Sasuke and his Team Hawk continue their battle with the Eight-Tailed Beast host Killer Bee. For a while now Sasuke has really become the star of this series as for the past few volumes have ...Read more

LOS ANGELES, March 7 (UPI) -- Has the real Billie Jean finally surfaced? With new allegations surfacing that Michael Jackson fathered a love-child with singer Miki Howard, the world may finally know who inspired the 1982 hit.
Thirty-one-year-old singer Brandon Howard came forward this week saying he was the King of Pop's son and that he had a DNA test to prove it.
Brandon Howard's mother, Miki Howard, was a singer who was represented by Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, in the 1980s.
Apparently she just so happened to go by the name "Billy" around the same time she allegedly had a love affair with Michael Jackson, the Inquistr reported. Could Brandon Howard be the "kid" Michael Jackson denies in the hit "Billie Jean?"
Miki Howard herself hasn't come come forward to comment on any of the allegations.

VILLA PARK — Two Florida men were arrested and charged last week after allegedly breaking into a car and stealing and using multiple credit cards from the purse inside that they took.
Lawrence C. Milles-Trace, 24, of Florida, was charged with forgery, a Class 3 felony, and illegal use of a credit card, a Class 4 felony. With him was Jalil L. Allen, 25, of Florida, who was charged with forgery and possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor.
Both men were arrested March 18 by Villa Park police officers.
At 11:30 a.m. that day, Villa Park police responded to a report that a car's window had been smashed in the parking lot of LA Fitness, 102 W. Roosevelt Road, and a woman's purse containing several credit cards had been taken.
Officers tracked the suspects while they used the credit cards at several locations, including Macy's and Foot Locker, both located at Stratford Mall in Bloomingdale.
When Villa Park detectives went to the mall, they got video surveillance and a description of the men using the credit cards. While detectives were still at the mall, the suspects tried to use a stolen credit card from another victim at the Kohl's store in the mall. They were stopped and arrested by Villa Park and Bloomingdale police officers.
After taking Milles-Trace and Allen into custody, Villa Park detectives found stolen credit cards belonging to multiple car burglary victims in Villa Park, Westmont and Downers Grove, along with items that had been purchased with the stolen credit cards.
According to police reports, the suspects had been targeting heath clubs and day care centers when breaking into cars.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- "Duck Dynasty" stars Willie and Korie Robertson said they are ready to move on after the controversy over patriarch Phil Robertson's anti-gay remarks.
The A&E cable channel briefly suspended Willie's father, Phil, from the show after he used lewd imagery to describe homosexuality, which he compared to bestiality.
"It seems like, to me, a vagina -- as a man -- would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical," he told GQ magazine in an interview published in December.
Willie and his wife, Korie, were asked during a Fox News interview Tuesday night how they felt about Phil's suspension.
"We're just glad to be back to work," Willie said. "A&E and us are fine. We're looking forward to getting back to making some funny shows. It's a new year, so we're ready to break in a new year and start all over again."
The pair hinted there will be new people featured in the show this season, which premieres Jan. 15.
"I'm just glad the family is all together," Korie said. "The best thing about the show is we get to do it together as a family, and that fact that we get to continue to do that, we're all happy, happy, happy."
