Just as youth is a huge benefit in life � the same can be said on the basketball court.
BAYBORO � Just as youth is a huge benefit in life � the same can be said on the basketball court.
Coach April Rose has a bouquet of blossoming talent on her Hurricanes squad.
Four out of five starters for Pamlico are either freshmen or sophomores.
Point guard Bri Jones (freshman), small forward Nylaa Tutt (freshman), power forward/wing Alazia Whitfield (sophomore) and center Laichelle Sparrow (freshman) comprise the budding quartet.
The Hurricanes are 8-3, 2-0 going into Friday�s intra-conference battle with unbeaten Lejeune (12-0, 2-0).
Jones brings fluid ball-handling skills and turbo speed, in addition to stabilizing the point guard position. She also is the team�s leading scorer.
�We have all played together through our middle school years and we work well as a team,� Jones said.
Whitfield is a lengthy, athletically built forward with a smooth shot and solid ball skills and is second on the team in scoring.
�All of us were in the gym all summer working on our game and it has paid off so far for us this season,� Whitfield said. �We just have to stay focused from here on out and make sure we don�t get big heads and keep playing how we practice.�
Sparrow is chiseled and an intimidating presence in the post to the opposition.
She is the team�s second-leading rebounder and shot blocker behind Whitfield.
�Things at this level, obviously, are more challenging, and we have much bigger expectations, but we just have to not ever give up and continue to work as hard as we can,� Sparrow said.
Tutt concludes the fledgling foursome and is an emerging player in her own right. She is built like a shooting guard and can play that position or a wing forward spot.
�We get a lot of motivation from coach Rose pushing us and helping us improve,� Tutt said. �She always talks about having to beat the best in order to be the best, and I think that�s the mindset we have.�
Just as real hurricanes begin as tropical storms and progress in severity or strength from Category 1 (in early form) to Category 5 (maximum power), this particular group of Hurricanes is hoping to do the same thing.

Ok so I wanna say about a year and a half ago, I came across a website called http://www.snafu-comics.com/ and its a website that has created its own doujinshi comics from Cartoon Network series PPG and the Grim Adventure of Billy and Mandy.
Grim Tales summary:
Grim Tales, often shortened to GT, is a manga-styled fancomic drawn by Bleedman and is hosted at Snafu Comics. Bleedman did all the art for Grim Tales while Griddles helped with the story. In Chapter 2 was another story helped named Heather M. Solomon, but she was not mentioned in other chapters.
The comic is mainly based on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, but also other series and movies for example: Danny Phantom, The Powerpuff Girls, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Fairly OddParents, Hey Arnold!, Hellspawn, Mina and the Count and Adventure Time.
Grim Tales is seperated in 3 arcs so far; Grim Tales: From Down Below, Grim Tales: What About Mimi and, currently, Grim Tales: Further Orientation.
One of the future chapters called Afterbith have been leaked on the internet. But it was also said that this story might not be in and so isn't concidered canon, yet.
The story mainly focuses on two characters, one is Grim Jr., the son of the Grim Reaper and a boy who dreams of having powers and adventures, and the other is his sister Minimandy, a smart girl who simply wish to love her brother. The both of them go on amazing adventures and sometimes with their friend Mimi, a devil girl who occasionally supports them.
PPG summary
Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi (also known as Powerpuff Girls D or PPGD) is a manga-styled fancomic drawn by Vincent Ngo, commonly known as Bleedman, and is hosted by Snafu Comics. Till' chapter 7 Bleedman mostly did all the work himself. From Chapter 7, BeeAre helped with the story and Seiryuga with colors. But since Chapter 8 Seiryuga stopped, probably because of his own projects.
The comic is a crossover of sorts based on the TV show The Powerpuff Girls, though finding Blossom,Bubbles, and Buttercup slightly older and now going to school in a fictional neighboring city of Townsville known as Megaville. Here the girls meet various other characters of different Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon animated programs such as Dexter's Laboratory, Time Squad, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Megas XLR, Invader Zim, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Samurai Jack, Courage the Cowardly Dog. However evil forces soon set their sights on the girls, which will no doubt lead to conflicts as the comic progresses.
While PPG Doujinshi includes many familiar characters (drawn anime-style), the comic also sports a slew of original characters, the most noticeable being Bell, a supposed Powerpuff Girl dressed in white who works for the villains.
The comic is known to be much darker in tone than the cartoons on which it is based.
Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi was updated regularly on Sundays until recently when the artist began to work on his related comic, The Adventures of Grim Jr. and Minnie Mandy, and updates won't begin again until that comic's current arc is completed. It is very fan-oriented, with several artists and writers influencing the work of the creator.
The comic was the "Outstanding Superhero Comic" and "Outstanding Character" winner on the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards in 2005.
The story focuses on the Powerpuff Girls (Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup) being transfered to a new school in Megaville. There, they made friends with several other students, including a boy named Dexter, and began to protect the world from the Clusters.
These are the links to both comic series. Read if you like and comment your opinions about both doujinshi.
Haven't been to Snafu in a while, but the one doujin I wished they continued was Ever-After with little Red Riding Hood and the Mental Asylum.
Life is full of shit but it's the delicious part that makes it worth it.

Thinking of something cool to say...
What do you like about the comic overall? Characters? Storyline? Plot?
I remember reading Snafu some years ago. I haven't checked up on updates, but it looks like I should.

Dude you're missing out on alot cause they make a new page of Grim Tales every week and PPG every two weeks I think so both comics have probably made three whole chapters while you were on hiatus

For many members of the Legion of Christ, learning about the sinful double life of their founder, Father Marcial Maciel, was like the "old days in Chicago" when the FBI knocked on someone's door and told them their father was a hit man for the Mob, said Jim Fair.
"Your reaction is disbelief and denial. And then your second reaction is like, 'Well, he's always been such a nice father who brought us to baseball games and helped us with our homework,'" Fair, a 14-year member of the Legion's lay wing, Regnum Christi, and the congregation's communications director for North America, told Our Sunday Visitor.
"The difficulty for a lot of people initially in coming to terms with things was that the revelations didn't square with the experiences they had," said Fair, who met and shook hands with Father Maciel "a couple of times."
"It's been a real soul-searching process," he added.
The next step in that process is an extraordinary general chapter that was scheduled to begin on Jan. 8 in Rome.
Over the next two months, the Legion will elect new leaders and approve new constitutions that will cap a vital reform and reorganization process that began shortly after Pope Benedict XVI removed Father Maciel from ministry in 2006 and ordered him to a life of prayer and penance.
Father Maciel, a native of Mexico who founded the Legion in 1941, died in 2008. It has been confirmed in recent years that he fathered at least three children with at least two women, and that he sexually abused boys and underage seminarians.
The challenge for the extraordinary general chapter will be to salvage a congregation that — although consisting of many earnest holy men and women trying to faithfully live out their vocation — was founded by a morally duplicitous individual who imbued the Legion of Christ with an authoritarian and secretive streak along with organizational structures and a culture that made it difficult, if not impossible, to question the leadership.
Fair said the Legion is expected to downsize its constitution from 800 to 200 sections. Whereas most religious congregations' constitutions consist of general principles, the Legion's was unusually detailed and governed minute details of its members' daily lives, including areas of dining etiquette and personal behavior.
"Looking back, we can now say, 'Well, that is not surprising given the sort of detailed, controlling nature of our founder,'" Fair said. "We're in a very different world now."
But some observers, including former Legionaries and Regnum Christi members, are skeptical the congregation can be reformed. Critics say many individuals in the Legion's leadership enabled Father Maciel and continued to cover for him even as credible accusations surfaced against him.
"My distinct impression is that many people inside the Legion, even the younger ones who didn't have any direct role in the cover-ups and behavioral patterns that brought such scandal on the order, have no real grasp of how traumatized and psychologically burned so many of these people who left that movement feel," said Jason Berry, an independent journalist who has covered the Legion of Christ scandal and author of "Render unto Rome: The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church" (Broadway Books, $16).
Berry told OSV that the Legion has been deeply warped by institutional psycho-dynamics of safeguarding Father Maciel from criticism.
"I'm echoing what many people have told me in that everyone (in the Legion) should go through sustained therapy to get a sense of what really happened," said Berry, who added that he has not seen a profound internal overhaul within the Legion of Christ or Regnum Christi.
"I think as a result you have an extenuation perhaps of all the problems," Berry said. "That is not to say that things are the way they were 10 years ago. But rewriting constitutions does not change a mental landscape."
Fair said the Legion in recent years has been working toward transparency and dealing forthrightly with its institutional shortcomings. The congregation has been decentralized to allow more decision-making at the local and territorial levels.
In the past year, the congregation in North America released its first public financial report, which was posted online.
Last February, the Legion issued a report of all its old sex abuse cases and the dispositions of all the allegations the congregation has received over the years.
In early December 2013, the Legion of Christ also announced that an investigation had uncovered "significant evidence of sexual abuse" committed by the order's former novice master at its seminary in Chesire, Conn.
"These are very specific tangible things that we have been doing," Fair said. "I would ask that people watch us, question us and challenge us. We want to be accountable, and we believe that we are being accountable. That's the world we live in today and the world we embrace."
As evidence of that new approach, Fair noted that the Legion of Christ invited the press to cover the opening Mass and proceedings of the extraordinary general chapter. In late February, the congregation plans to launch a new website with daily reports on the chapter, including a priest who will blog on his impressions of the proceedings.
A video posted on the Legion's website in early January showed several of the congregation's priests arriving in Rome for a week of spiritual exercises leading up to the general chapter.
Some priests interviewed on camera said they were hoping that the Holy Spirit would enlighten them of God's will for their congregation.
"I'm going to ask the Lord for a Legion where there is room for everyone, and I'm going to ask him for the grace to renew ourselves from the very depths of our hearts," said Legion Father Jose Sanchez Baile.
At an ordination Mass in late December to welcome 31 new priests to the Legion of Christ, Cardinal Velasio de Paolis, the papal delegate overseeing the congregation's reform, said he believed the Legion will be "reconciled with itself and with others" and "able to forgive and ask forgiveness."
Apart from electing new leadership and constitutions that will be submitted to Pope Francis, Fair said the extraordinary general chapter will allow for discussions on topics important to the delegates.
"We've really been working to clarify our charism and revising the way the different branches of our family work and live their daily lives," Fair said.
Berry said that remains to be seen, noting that religious orders and congregations draw their charisms from their founders, much like the Jesuits do from St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Franciscans from St. Francis of Assisi.
"The only charism (Father Maciel) had that I can see was knowing how to separate wealthy people from their money," Berry said.
"When you have a group of questionable spiritual vision, I'm not saying the people there are devoid of spirituality; but no matter how believing and spiritual the person can be, if the structure is warped, it creates an enormous problem, as we're seeing from people who are speaking out," he added.
Fair, a former communications director for oil companies, said he thought he was taking on a less controversial job when he went to work for the Legion of Christ.
"What I've learned in the last five years," Fair said, "is that explaining an oil spill is a lot easier than explaining Father Maciel."

Abstract: In this note we introduce a family $\Sigma_i, i=0,\dots ,n-2$ of discriminants in the space ${\cal P}_n$ of polynomials of degree $n$ in one variable and study some of their algebraic and topological properties following [Ar], [Va] and [GKZ]. The discriminant $\Sigma_i$ consists of all polynomials $p$ such that some nontrivial linear combination $\alpha_0p+\alpha_1p^\prime +\dots +\alpha_ip^{(i)}$ has a zero of multiplicity greater or equal $i+2$. In particular, using the inversion of differential operators with constant coefficients (which induces the nonlinear involution on ${\cal P}_n$) we obtain the algebraic isomorphism of $\Sigma_i$ and $\Sigma_{n-2-i}$ for all $i$. \item{[Ar]} Arnold, V.I.: The spaces of functions with mild singularities.

Learning to Lead
Melinda Whiting
Seeking a smoother transition from conservatory to full competence
There are hundreds of orchestras in the United States of every conceivable variety, from youth orchestras to fully professional, full-time ensembles. And there are many more conductors. So why do we continually hear complaints of a conductor shortage?
The answer lies in a persistent, post-graduate training gap that can't easily be bridged. In America, "we train conductors the same way we train instrumentalists, which is to say they get an undergraduate performance degree and maybe a master's degree," says American Symphony Orchestra League Vice President Jesse Rosen. The nature of the job, however, "suggests that there's another level necessary before a conductor is really ready to assume professional responsibility." Robert Jones, who helped shape the National Conducting Institute as president of the National Symphony, draws a blunt analogy suggested by his Washington environment: "Taking a Ph.D. in political science doesn't mean you're ready to be a senator."
A number of short-term programs -- those mentioned in this article and others -- aim to address this training gap. But the ideal, Rosen believes, would be more extensive. He, too, presents an analogy, first suggested by the great conducting pedagogue Max Rudolf: "Doctors, when they finish their academic training, don't have sufficient knowledge or guided experience to assume full professional responsibility. They have an internship, then a residency, then they're ready to practice on their own."
There are several models for such conducting apprenticeships. Rosen's predecessor, consultant Donald Thulean, reflects on a past generation whose "skills were honed in the European opera house." Conductors such as Fritz Reiner and George Szell started as répétiteurs -- teaching singers their roles while playing score reductions at the piano. This allowed them, says Thulean, "to learn an opera score from the inside out. Those periods of apprenticeship were not necessarily long, but they were very intense." After a year or two, when he was closely acquainted with the repertoire and the orchestra players, a répétiteur "might be asked to step on the podium at any time, with no rehearsal," to fill in for an absent maestro. Later, having reached artistic maturity, he might shift to the symphonic repertoire for a change of pace.
Another European model for nurturing talented newcomers is that of the conductor's assistant. David Zinman's experience assisting Pierre Monteux was typical. "At first, I just carried his bags and gave him water, which I did gladly, and he would talk to me about the music he was conducting," Zinman reminisces. Soon the younger conductor was marking orchestra parts, "and then, after a year, he asked me to start rehearsing for him; he wouldn't rehearse on the day of a concert." Monteux's mentoring gave Zinman plenty of practice with professionals. "I actually conducted about twenty La mers [in rehearsal] before I conducted it for real," he recalls. "And a lot of Daphnis and Chloes and Berlioz pieces. All of his repertoire." Monteux rarely watched Zinman's conducting, but was available to answer questions and dispense advice.
This informal, intimate position of "conductor's assistant" shouldn't be confused with that of an orchestra's assistant conductor, who generally leads education programs, pops, and the occasional subscription concert, but may have little contact with the music director. Striking a balance between these two experiences was the Exxon/Arts Endowment Conductors Program, founded in 1973 and administered by Affiliate Artists until the organization's demise in 1990. Three-year residencies with a full-time professional orchestra allowed young conductors (including such alumni as Myung-Whun Chung, Andrew Litton, Christopher Wilkins, and Hugh Wolff) to gain hands-on experience on the podium, while also receiving "exposure to some of the necessary administrative knowledge that conductors need to function successfully in an orchestra," according to Rosen, who directed the Exxon program from 1978 until 1985.
Mentoring is a necessary part of future efforts to close the training gap, Rosen says -- a recommendation echoed by Zinman: "It's important that conductors take younger conductors in hand and help them. George Szell had this wonderful program where he had three or four apprentice conductors at one time" -- one of whom was the young James Levine, Zinman adds. But in an age when most major music directors travel constantly, few have a chance to observe many young conductors and thus take an interest in their careers. Zinman, who has cut back on travel since taking the musical helm at Aspen, hints broadly at his own desire to mentor more actively. Michael Tilson Thomas, too, has invited a young conductor from the January 2001 League workshop to work with him at the New World Symphony during the current season. It's New World's first move in developing an annual fellowship for a post-graduate-level conductor-in-training.
Another offering that holds promise is the international conducting competition announced earlier this year by Lorin Maazel and billionaire philanthropist Alberto Vilar. Winners -- there may be as many as six -- will receive a cash prize and orchestra engagements. But most influential to their development may be the mentoring promised explicitly in the competition's promotional materials: "opportunities to work with Maestro Maazel and other esteemed musicians on technical and musical preparation, to rehearse orchestras under Maestro Maazel's supervision, to study new repertoire and languages, and to address the administrative dimensions of a conductor's activities." On paper, it looks like the right recipe.
Rosen calls these varied developments "encouraging. We're in a good time, when senior conductors are turning their attention to the next generation to a degree we haven't seen recently." If even a few of these major artists take an active interest in creating residencies and mentorships, their successors have a good shot at duplicating their artistic successes in the future.

As a legendary sheep leather boots brand, UGG Boots has now win huge popularity in campus.We can see students wear all kinds of UGG boots here and there in schoolyard.As the main force of UGG Slippers fashion, ugg boots' luxury and fashion look, favored by the majority of students, from small pupils to large college students have all joined the ranks of ugg.Many stars on the ugg respected, particularly the Hollywood stars often wear attractive UGG Classic Boots in public places , and that further spread its influence in student groups. In order to imitate their favorite stars, many students wore ugg boots.The UGG is really valuable, such as UGG Tall Paisley sole is made of foam rubber tendon sole, and it is quite lightweight, abrasion, folding, non-slip. UGG trademark are sewn on pad of each shoes. The first layer is Taiwan's NEKSON, features: Cheap UGG Boots absorbent and strong; second tier 3MM of EVA, features: soft; the third layer is the same as the wool inside, specifications for the 16MM.No wonder that UGG boots become popular on campus,it is also your first choice.
Bob, that has to be THE best pic of Kirsten Dunst I have ever seen. Very lovely
I will have to sit down and check out this easter egg a long with the ones on Ep1 and 2.
I will have to sit down and check out this easter egg a long with the ones on Ep1 and 2.
For a Sony player... I think you have to use 11-enter 3-enter 8-enter. try combos of numbers like that... I got it to work for the other DVDs but I can't remember the details.
I have an older pioneer dvd player without the 10+ button and I still cant get this to work, actually I have a total of 3 dvd players in my home and this doesn't work on any of them.
Does anyone know how to get this to work with a Sony DVD player? I don't have a 10+ button on mine, and when I try to enter 1138 normally it ends up just being 38 because once I hit 3, it erases the first 1 and so on. And when I try doing 1 enter 1 enter 3 enter 8 enter, it just highlights the THX optimizer option but that's all that happens.
I hope there will be a re-release with all six films. Take points from Peter Jackson and produce them like the LOTR Extended Editions, like a 20-disc Saga box set!
Cant see it!! I have a Pioneer with a >10 button etc. but I have never been able to access the easter eggs. Any ideas? Whenever I press the 8 it selects amin menu
I noticed the new CG Yoda and the first thought I had was "re-release"... the man has no shame.
But it does look better than the puppet!
But it does look better than the puppet!
Excellent... I have heard about this easter egg, but until now I did not know how to find it. It sounds pretty funny. Nor did I know that there were blooper reels on the Episodes I and II dvds either. I will have to check that out. I did notice the cgi Yoda during "The Chosen One" documentary. It wouldn't surprise me any if that were to be re-released. If the picture has been improved I may even buy it as well.

More on the interview with Kalamazoo Wings head coach Nick Bootland:
On losing: "You learn a lot more about yourself and your team and your own work ethic when you lose. You learn a lot more from losing than you do winning. I've learned about myself-I'm going to continue to work even harder than ever-I don't know how happy my wife is to hear that. She's obviously very supportive and one of the main reasons I am able to do the job that I do."
Turning things around: "We've been teaching and creating drills to teach things that we have weaknesses on. We're trying to find other ways to show guys. Everyone learns in a different way and everyone grasps things in a different way. We're trying to show them every single way possible to try and get out of this."
Scoring and winning: "I think the big thing is- we have to understand that we're a team that needs everyone, all 18 guys in the lineup every night to win. We're not going to score 5, 6, 7 goals every night. The last three years we've been one of the top three in scoring goals and now were in the bottom three. So we have to change our style and compete at a level where we can still get results. That's a team first game and that's a defensive first game. That's taking care of our zone and capitalizing on our opportunities when given the chance."
Player movement on other teams in the division: "I just see the transactions like everyone else. We will see how it plays out. We can really control ourselves and that is about it."
Making their move: "There is no reason we can't get on a hot streak and climb the ladder. There's no doubt in our minds, in this room. There's a lot of things that have to come together-the consistency has got to get better and the confidence will go up. The composure will go up. These are three huge things when it comes to the game of hockey."

A total of 1,337 people have been arrested for child sex offences in Derbyshire over the last seven years.
Figures from a Freedom of Information request show the Peak District saw the lowest number of arrests, while Amber Valley had the highest.
The number of arrests for child sex offences in B Division South, which covers the Derbyshire Dales, has increased slightly since 2007 when nine people were arrested. In 2008, there were 11 arrests with 15 in 2009.
The latest results for the Dales – from 2013 – show ten people arrested.
Since 2007 a total of 1,337 people have been arrested in relation to child sex offences, but the figures have declined in the last two years. The year with the most arrests – 2009 – saw 271 people stopped by Derbyshire Police but in 2013, just 153 arrests were made.
DCI Gareth Meadows, from the Public Protection Unit, said: "We have dedicated officers based across the county who investigate all reports of child abuse. We work with partner agencies to ensure all victims receive the appropriate support, care and protection.
"The number of arrests and prosecutions each year will understandably fluctuate depending on the number of reports we receive."

This spring's presentation of the award in my brother's memory will include a couple of firsts – two individuals are being cited and they're from across the Canada-U.S. border in neighbouring Vermont.
To be more accurate, one-half of the couple of Dr. Delores Barbeau and Carol Olstad, R.N. will be honoured posthumously as Carol, who incidentally was a Canadian born in Alberta, unfortunately died last October in their adopted home of Weston, Vermont.
The two met in 1983 while working in strife-torn Bolivia, Delores as a Maryknoll nun-turned-physician and Carol a registered nurse working under the auspices of the Canadian Baptist Overseas Mission Board.
Delores had only lived and worked with Bolivians since 1969 and, given the political climate, knew how much safer it would be to avoid becoming attached to Carol.
Bolivian authorities were already suspicious, to say the least, of church aid workers in their midst (let alone white North Americans); not easily dissuaded from their presumptions of CIA connections. Imagine if they knew they were lesbians!
But the Bolivian Ministry of Health assigned the two to work together, within a year of their first meeting, in a remote tropical jungle.
Not more than a year later the government had put Delores on a hit list and the two fled Bolivia, travelling to Nicaragua to work for five years alongside the people defending their dignity and rights against American-backed rebel forces out to destroy the successful Sandinista government. (This corrects my earlier history-fogged equating of the rebels as the more courageous side to be on!)
In 1991 Delores and Carol returned to the United States, first New York and Massachusetts and then Vermont, sharing their lives openly as a couple while continuing to live the "social gospel" lessons of their respective faiths, even if no longer so affiliated. (They have since enjoyed the community of the Monks of Western Priory in Vermont where Carol was solemnly and happily remembered following her death in October of last year.)
In a letter to loved ones about her experiences, Delores concludes:
So. That was Bolivia.
What was it like?
It changed my life forever.
I learned to love.
I learned to look at things in a new way and walked in many different shoes.
I learned other definitions for family.
I learned that there were priorities.
I learned to dance.
I stood before mass graves, and buried many friends.
I learned what fear really felt like.
…and in all of this I never knew a time when I did not know God.
The 2012 Convocation of United Theological College, during which the Craig Chaplin Memorial Award is presented (and Delores will deliver the Convocation Address), will be held at Summerlea United Church on Wednesday, May 9 – five years to the day since Craig's death.
With such an early spring, maybe his favourite irises will be in bloom.

Construction on Kent Hospital's new addition is steadily progressing.
Joseph DiPietro, senior vice president and general counsel at Kent Hospital, said the project, which commenced in June of 2011, is to be completed by June of 2013.
"The project has four phases," he explained.
The second floor of the building will house the ambulatory surgery center, which will move from its current location in Kent's in-patient and out-patient operating rooms.
The first floor of the building will house medical offices. There will also be a connector to the current building (accompanied by lobby renovations) and the creation of a 10-bed short-stay unit.
The ambulatory unit, said DiPietro, will be completed soon after the first of the year, along with the connector to the hospital. The other projects will gradually be completed up until the June 2013 date.
The project's price tag is approximately $30 million, a cost that's being shared by Kent and the developer of the building, Seavest Healthcare Properties. DiPietro said that Kent sought out several developers to help with the financial burden of the expansion, and eventually settled on Seavest after a vetting process.
The building will be owned by Seavest and leased by Kent, who is responsible for outfitting the building for their needs. Kent's funding comes from their capital budget, fed mainly by capital campaigns. Because Kent is leasing the building, they may not be the sole lessee. DiPietro said they are looking at other physicians groups and outpatient services to lease space on the first floor of the building. Some of the space will also be devoted to Affinity Physicians, an LLC connected with Kent.
DiPietro said the new addition will create new jobs, especially for those taking space on the first floor. DiPietro said it is too early to give an estimate on the number of new employees the space will make way for.

MACON, Ga. - Lipscomb entered the weekend on the precipice of clinching its first berth in the Atlantic Sun Men's Soccer Championships. Freshman Miguel DaSilva helped ensure the Bisons of their spot with four goals in two games leading the Bisons to a win and a tie, both on the road, and securing his first Atlantic Sun Player of the Week award, the conference office announced on Monday.
DaSilva gave his team an early lift in Friday's match with Florida Gulf Coast. He scored in the second minute providing all the offense Lipscomb would need. The Bisons added a second goal later in the half and held on for a 2-0 win. The win guaranteed Lipscomb a spot at the Atlantic Sun Championships for the first time in its five years in the league. The Bisons won their fourth conference game, significant in that over the previous three years, the Bisons won three.
Two days later, facing regionally ranked Stetson, DaSilva, a redshirt freshman from Lauderhill, Fla., turned in the second hat trick in the Atlantic Sun of 2007. He scored the three goals in a span of less than 12 minutes as Lipscomb jumped out to a 3-0 lead only to see Stetson forge back and salvage a tie. At 4-1-2, the Bisons have secured a top-four seed in the Championship and can improve their seed in the final weekend of conference play when they face the team immediately ahead of them, the Jacksonville Dolphins at home on Friday. Two days later, Lipscomb hosts UNF.
DaSilva is the first Lipscomb soccer player since midfielder Scott Mason, serving this season as a graduate assistant coach, scored a school record four goals in a 7-0 win over Centenary Oct. 23, 2005.
DaSilva has scored seven goals this season tying him with senior forward Ben Page for most goals in a season. Page had seven last season.
The Bisons have already won five games this season, equaling the season high for the school. The have won four straight A-Sun games, an all-time high, and are unbeaten in their last five A-Sun games, also a team high.

Monday, September 28, 2009
By Maruja Sedano
September is usually the month in which catechetical or religious education programs start in the parishes and Catholic schools of the Archdiocese. Last Sunday the entire Catholic Church in the U.S.A celebrated "Catechetical Sunday." The word "catechesis" means the act of teaching or passing on the faith, therefore on Catechetical Sunday parishes around the country publicly acknowledge and commission those who will be teaching the faith to our children and youth.
And while Directors and Coordinators of Religious Education have their hands full, completing all the details of enrollment for this year's catechetical sessions, they know that hundreds of Catholic children and youth in their parishes have not yet registered to attend or will not register at all. This means that unless parents are teaching the faith to their children at home, hundreds of baptized children and youth will not have the opportunity to be initiated in the faith, and most likely will not have the opportunity to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ, receive the sacraments, or identify and worship with the Catholic faith community. Little by little our children and youth will be losing their Christian Catholic faith and identity.
We may debate the many social and religious reasons for this reality but as adult baptized Catholics, sent to evangelize and teach the Good News "until the end of the world," we need to ask and answer this question: Who is responsible for passing on the faith to the present generation of young Catholics?
The USCC bishops in the National Directory of Catechesis published in 2005 state that the entire Catholic community has the responsibility for passing on the faith to other generations but they emphasize the role of the parents, "Parents are the most influential agents of catechesis for their children. They have a unique responsibility for the education of their children; they are the first educators, or catechists. They catechize primarily by the witness of their Christian lives and by their love for the faith" (NDC 10-C).
The research done by the "National Study on Youth and Religion," published in Soul Searching: the Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers, 2005 indicates that parents are the single most important influence on the religious and spiritual formation of their children. After that come the grandparents and other members of the family, teachers, priests, catechists, youth ministers and peers.
Parents and families today have a lot of social and work pressures that make difficult their religious educational task, and some parents may find that they don't know enough to teach their children the faith they profess. These are big reasons for sending your children and youth to catechetical and youth ministry programs in your parish community. We are all responsible for the Christian education of our children and youth, but priests, catechetical leaders and catechists can't bring the kids to classes - you do.
Your pastor, catechetical leader, catechists and youth ministers are ready to help you in fulfilling your very important role of passing on to your children and youth the legacy of the faith you have received.
Thursday, October 01, 2009 11:49 AM
We have lost a whole generation of faithful. That would be our Youth. Without recapturing our future we will grow old and dwindle. A sorry commentary and hopefully not true. The work of Youth Ministry is even now more important than ever. But simple lip service by those in a position to help is not enough. We keep trying to put our Youth in a corner, a basement, a hall and never bring them to the forefront of our parishes. Our Youth should be what the Vicarates,Parishes and programs are geared to. A parish that pulls in the Youth, Welcomes the Youth, plans for their Youth is alive and florishing. More support of Youth Ministry is needed in such a big way and that is were WE need to focus our energy.

The Whip is the second ranking elected official in the House Democratic Caucus. Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-MD) was elected Democratic Whip by acclamation on November 14, 2002.
The "Whipper In"
The name for the position of Whip is derived from the term "whipper in", which is a British term for the person responsible for keeping the foxhounds from leaving the pack. It was first used in the House of Commons in the late 1700s. In 1897, Speaker
Thomas Reed (R-ME) first adopted the term in the U.S. House of Representatives when he appointed Representative James A. Tawney (R-MN) a whip to help him keep track of party Members. The first Democratic Whip was appointed in 1901, and an official whip organization was first extensively used in the 1930s by the Democrats.
Today's Whip
Today's Democratic Whip is charged with mobilizing the party vote on important legislation, acting as a liaison between Members and the Democratic Leadership, and coordinating strategy within the Caucus. Democrats are currently the minority party in the House, so the Whip is involved in planning opposition to the majority.
The Democratic Leader appointed the Democratic whip until 1986, since then the caucus has elected the Whip. The Whip is assisted in his or her duties by a large whip organization made up of Members and staff.
Mobilizing the Democratic Vote
The Whip talks to Democratic Members about their level of support for a piece of legislation before it comes to the Floor for a major vote. The Whip also works with Members to build strong support within the caucus for the Democratic agenda.
Liaison Between Members and Leadership
The Whip acts as liaison between Democratic Members and their Leadership by distributing information to Members such as the upcoming schedule of legislation, and providing information to Leadership concerning support within the caucus for various pieces of legislation.
The Whip provides Members with the "Weekly Whip" and the"Daily Whip", which detail by week and day respectively the legislation on the House floor. In addition to the Weekly Whip and the Daily Whip, the Whip also distributes the House calendar, which lists the days of the year that the House of Representatives is expected to be in session.
Coordinating Strategy
Finally, the Whip coordinates legislative strategy and scheduling with the Democratic Leader. The Whip is charged with "getting out the vote," by ensuring that Members will be present on the floor during close votes. The Whip is largely responsible for coordinating voting strategy among the party members to ensure wide support among caucus members for the Democratic position.

Thinking out loud here....
Since preseason I've been trying to rein in my enthusiasm. I'm a Hawks fan, it's the emotionally prudent way to react. But, I REALLY think the Hawks can win this game, fairly comfortably.
SF's going to have to respect the pass. They just have to. I know it was still cool to question Wilson as early as post-Carolina, but, that was misguided. In that game, the passing attack was an inch or penalty away from going from "work n progress" to "arrived".
While the passing attack looked shaky at times against the Patriots, it at minimum earned respect. Yes the Pats secondary is lackluster, but it's still NE. Offensively, I'm going to assume the safe bet, more growth. That's kind of a given. I think the Hawks will move the ball, just fine.
Defensively, can Alex Smith REALLY make the quick reads and throws required to beat the Hawks? He's playing well, and has always been underrated IMO. But, quick and sound decisions aren't his specialty. Anything longer than a quick read and Alex will have all sorts of pressure, especially with Staley out. Gore doesn't scare me too terribly much.
The Hawks offense can, and will most likely be, the most dynamic. The defenses MAY BE a push. I'm feeling a win and statement.

The World of Aeternum
Excerpts from the Chronicles of Teramachus
It is unknown if there is any person alive who knows the true history of Aramaya (Ah-rah-may-ah). All knowledge is kept under lock and key by the highest echelons of the Eladrin, who are simultaneously masters of the known world yet slaves to the one true God.
What there is is largely legend carried on the lips of bards or passed down from one family generation to the next. It is often said that legend is only a greater retelling of a more mundane reality. But we live in a world of high fantasy and great adventure and sometimes there is more truth in legend then we realize…
One thousand years ago God materialized in a rain of fire, falling from the Heavens and decimating the center of Aramaya. The great central lakes boiled away. Tens of thousands died as fire continued to rain down over the continent for weeks to come and water became scarce.
The Great Old One was teaching us a lesson. Our sinful lives and lack of faith forced Him to reveal His true form. He become material, bringing death and destruction to our world even as He tore through the fabric of reality to enter our plane of existence.
It was all our fault, you see.
We, the Chosen of God once lived with our brothers and sister Elves in the great forests that covered so much of Aramaya. We lived in innocence, forging alliances with the races of man and Dwarf, even extending the hand of friendship to the worthless Halflings and Gnomes. We opened our forests to humans and signed contracts allowing them to cut our trees down to use in building their cities and fueling their economy.
We were committing a great sin.
The Great Old One's arrival signaled both our damnation and our ascendance. With His great powers the forests were annihilated and the Elves mysteriously vanished. We were cursed with a great sickness. Many of our number died and those that survived were forced to live forever under the glowering shadow of our angry God. His anger is not blind however, and He gave us dominion over Aramaya. The arrogant humans, as well as the other races were taught their true place as the obedient servants of the Eladrin.
This has been the way of live on Aramaya for the last one thousand years…

ARLINGTON (AP) – Buck Showalter helped give the Texas Rangers a glimpse of what they hoped to become when they stayed in playoff contention until an 11-inning loss during the final week of the 2004 season.
The Rangers finally made it to the World Series after he was gone, the same way the New York Yankees and then-expansion Arizona Diamondbacks had done after Showalter managed them.
Now in the year after the Rangers won their first American League championship, for the first time since Showalter was fired by Texas after the 2006 season, he is again managing games at Rangers Ballpark. His Baltimore Orioles began their only Lone Star State visit this year with a 13-4 loss Monday night in the opener of a three-game series.
"I'm happy for them. Believe me, life's too short," said Showalter, who wasn't around for any of those pennant-winning seasons. "Things happen for a reason. Joe Torre was the perfect guy to take (the Yankees) to the next level. Ron Washington was the perfect fit for (the Rangers). You bring what you bring. … I was just a piece of the process with the scouts and player development and all the things that go into it."
Texas was stuck in a cycle of $100 million payrolls with last-place finishes when Showalter took over before the 2003 season. There had been proven superstars like Alex Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez and Ivan Rodriguez in the lineup but no real sense of direction only a few years after the Rangers won three AL West titles over four seasons (1996-99) without winning a postseason series.
"Buck did a lot to bring credibility back to the franchise. It had been a bad few years, quite candidly," general manager Jon Daniels said Sunday. "The term at the time was kind of changing the culture, maybe got overused a little, but there was really something to that, and just kind of changing the eye level, so to speak, from the kind of expensive veterans to more homegrown young players."
Showalter's first year was the rookie season for Mark Teixeira, the first of five consecutive 200-hit seasons for Michael Young and the last in Texas for A-Rod, who was the reigning AL MVP when traded the following spring to the Yankees only three years into his then-record $252 million, 10-year contract.
The Rangers went 71-91 that season and finished in last place again. But after slashing payroll — among several moves being the trade of A-Rod and letting go of two-time AL MVP Gonzalez and 500-homer hitter Rafael Palmeiro — Texas won 89 games and finished only three games out of first place in that memorable turnaround.
"I look back at '04, it always brings a smile to my face," Young said. "That was probably the first year where I saw what this team and what this city should have. That was a fun year. At the time, that was the most fun I'd had in the big leagues."
That finally was trumped last season, when the Rangers won the AL West and got to the World Series after winning the AL championship series in six games over the Yankees, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs each time in the 1990s.
New York and Arizona both won the World Series the very next season after Showalter's departure. It took the Rangers a little bit longer to get there — though they lost in five games to San Francisco last fall — after Showalter was fired in 2006 after consecutive losing seasons.
"You've got to be on both sides of the mountain to understand how you get there. And how you don't get there," Showalter said. "I've been fortunate enough to be around people who get it and kind of get me."
The only current Rangers who played for Showalter were Young, second baseman Ian Kinsler, All-Star pitcher C.J. Wilson, slugging outfielder Nelson Cruz and pitcher Scott Feldman.
"I definitely remember the presence that he had, and how prepared he was. He always had a reason why he was doing something," said Kinsler, whose rookie season was Showalter's last in Texas. "He gave me my chance in the big leagues and I'll always remember him for that."
Daniels, who in 2005 became the youngest GM in major league history after being promoted from a Rangers assistant, hired Washington and kept making moves that would build a championship roster.
One of the most significant deals was trading Teixeira before he became a free agent, a 2007 deadline deal that got shortstop Elvis Andrus, closer Neftali Feliz and left-hander Matt Harrison from Atlanta.
Before becoming a seven-time All-Star, and the Rangers' career leader in hits and games played, Young was an up-and-coming player who was a constant in Showalter's lineup.
"As a young player, what you're looking for is to play and be productive, and Buck rolled us out," said Young, whose 159 games in 2005 were the fewest he played for Showalter. "I told him from the very beginning I didn't like off days, and as a young player, I was thankful that he respected that."
Showalter, who still has a home in the Dallas area where both of his children attend college, returned to the dugout last August after being hired by the Orioles with a pledge to restore the luster of the once-proud franchise that has fallen on hard times. The process isn't really any different than it was in Texas, or anywhere else.
"Just trying to be a voice of reality. The best thing an organization can do is evaluate themselves honestly, knowing where your strengths and weaknesses are. Instead of coveting other players, you're better off spending time evaluating your people," Showalter said.
"Whatever my epitaph is one day, I'm OK with it. I'm real comfortable in my skin, with the way I treat people and the honest answers I give them," he said. "There's not a day goes by I don't realize how unbelievably fortunate I am to be doing what I'm doing."

Assembly, State Senate vote overwhelmingly to dissolve Peace Bridge Authority
The State Legislature on Wednesday afternoon passed a controversial bill to dissolve the Peace Bridge Authority, an issue that has become a thorny topic for New York-Canada relations.
The measure sets the wheels in motion to end the corporate status of the binational, 10-member panel created by state and federal laws to run the span between Fort Erie, Ont., and Buffalo.
The bill passed, 92-49, after a contentious session in the Assembly.
With little discussion, the vote in the Senate was 61-0.
The Legislature acted less than 24 hours after Canadians dispatched a senior federal official to Albany in an attempt to slow the state's efforts to end the Peace Bridge Authority,
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has not publicly embraced the legislation but has backed it in private meetings with lawmakers as a way to pressure Canadians to resolve the continuing dispute over improvements to the U.S. side of the Peace Bridge.
The bill set up a nasty, and unusual, floor debate in the Assembly lasting more than an hour and pitting several Western New York Democrats against one another.
"The governor's hands are very much around this legislation. His appointees support it. They want to see it move through this Legislature as a bludgeon, as a club, against our Canadian friends on the Peace Bridge Authority. … I don't like bullying," said Assemblyman Robin L. Schimminger, D-Kenmore.
He said the bill will halt improvements on the span because the threat of dissolution will force the authority to sell off bonds, meaning that it will not be able to further finance new construction. He called the legislation "mischievous and, at worst, reckless and dangerous."
Assemblywoman Jane L. Corwin, R-Clarence, said that the authority already has approved a number of major construction efforts and that delays now will cause new environmental-review processes that will push renovations and expansion years into the future. "The governor is telling us we have to do it this way because we have to move forward," Corwin said. Instead, she said, the legislation will cause lawsuits halting bridge improvements, adding it is not helping negotiations or relations between New York and Canada.
But Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan, D-Buffalo, who sponsored the bill, said Canadian members of the authority do not want to do major expansion work on the Buffalo side for five or more years – delays he said will further add to pollution due to idling trucks on the city's West Side.
"The children of the West Side of Buffalo who are living in these conditions can't have four or five more years of that," Ryan said.
Ryan said the Peace Bridge Authority is just like any sewer or water authority. "Authorities are not answerable to the public and they are not transparent," he said, blaming the binational board for 15 years of delays to improvements on the U.S. side. He called "baseless" the concerns raised by Schimminger about construction delays or scuttling of the pilot project for preclearance of U.S.-bound trucks in Fort Erie.
Assemblyman Michael P. Kearns, D-Buffalo, called the legislation an example of "sledgehammer diplomacy" that is an attack on the state's largest trading partner.
No similar division occurred during Senate debate, which was led by Sen. Mark J. Grisanti, R-Buffalo. "The problem is the plaza needs to be done how Western New York and New York State see fit," said Grisanti, sponsor of the bill. He said the authority has until July 2014 to resolve matters and issue new debt or it goes out of existence. "The dissolution is not up to this legislation. The dissolution is up to the authority," Grisanti said.
In response to the vote, authority General Manager Ron Rienas, a Canadian, said Wednesday that the legislation will immediately halt $150 million in Peace Bridge projects already approved. He emphasized that the board last year unanimously approved constructing a new customs warehouse on the Buffalo plaza and widening approaches to both ends of the bridge.
But those projects are now likely to be put on hold, he said, because lenders for such capital expenditures are uncertain of the authority's future. As a result, Rienas said he believes that the authority now must delay other scheduled projects and save its own money for its top priority – an approximately $92 million project to replace the span's original 1927 decking in 2015.
"Those projects simply won't happen," he said, pointing to the need to avoid delays such as the 52 days of lane closures experienced in 2012 because of problems from the deteriorating deck.
He said Canadians share Cuomo's "frustration" over a lack of progress on the Buffalo plaza, but he disputed assertions by state officials that adopting the schedule would delay work on the U.S. side by eight years. He also said passage of the legislation only causes more delay.
"That work is ready to start, and now it comes to a grinding halt?" he said. "It doesn't make sense. I think he wants to do the right thing," he added, referring to the governor. "I think he's getting terrible advice."
Rienas also said Albany's move to dissolve the authority will have no practical effect because under Canadian law it cannot go out of existence until at least 2020. In addition, Rienas said, Cuomo's accelerated timetable for the Buffalo plaza cannot proceed because it will take several years to determine the success or failure of a pilot project on pre-clearing trucks for inspection in Fort Erie. He contends that the authority should proceed with its schedule in the meantime and then tackle Buffalo plaza projects that Canadian members also support in principle.
Nevertheless, he predicted the new legislation will prompt a legal response from Ottawa. "They have made it very clear," he said. "If this legislation passes and the governor signs it, they will go to court."
Tuesday, Canadian Consul General John F. Prato met with Cuomo administration officials and legislators in Albany to try to ease the growing tensions over the bridge dispute. His bid to slow the advance of the legislation was "not successful," a Cuomo administration official said Tuesday night. Wednesday afternoon, as the bill was being debated in the Assembly, Transport Canada, the lead federal agency in Ottawa, responded to Buffalo News questions about Prato's visit.
"Canada is committed to the effective functioning of the Peace Bridge Authority. Discussions between Canada and the U.S. take place as required in support of this goal," said Kelly James, a Transport Canada spokeswoman.
Among those raising concerns about the bill's impact have been the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., who pushed to get Washington and Ottawa to agree to place the truck preclearance facility in Fort Erie. He recently warned the legislation could jeopardize that program that took years to negotiate between Canada and the United States.
When asked about those concerns Wednesday while at the University at Buffalo Law School, Cuomo did not respond directly. But he did sound a familiar refrain that defended his hard-charging approach as stemming from two decades of stagnation at the Peace Bridge.
"Could you now slow the progress? No, because you're not making any progress," he said. "So there's nothing to slow. My point is the exact opposite – let's do something."
Still, he said he hopes that the two sides settle their differences "amicably."
"But Buffalo and the American side has a real trajectory of progress," he said. "That's what this is all about."

Here is a round up of some of these tables to help you pick the right kind for you or perhaps even inspire you to create your own.

Image Gallery: Dissection of a Blue Mackerel
This site shows the dissection of a Blue Mackerel, Scomber australasicus. The dissection was performed by Year 12 students at St Vincent's College, Potts Point, Sydney in May 1998, and photographed by staff of the Australian Museum Photographic Department.
The aim of the dissection was for students to become familiar with the internal organs of a fish, primarily the swim bladder. This site has been put together to assist students and teachers with similar dissections. Many of the organs that are encountered during a typical fish dissection are named and discussed.


text: Friday, March 11, 2011 APTA Unveils 'Today's Physical Therapist' APTA is pleased to roll out Today's Physical Therapist: A Comprehensive Review of a 21st Century Health Care Profession, a resource designed to educate policymakers, payers, prospective students, and the public about the physical therapy profession. This new publication pulls together various subject matters and issues about the physical therapy profession from licensure and specialization to education and research, to the role of the PTA and payment for physical therapist services. Today's Physical Therapist: A Comprehensive Review of a 21st Century Health Care Profession provides readers with a "one-stop" location to learn where physical therapy is as a profession today and where it is going in the 21st century. This document also will assist in the battles that many APTA chapters face at the state level, as other health care professions often attempt to inaccurately or inappropriately define the physical therapy profession through legislative and regulatory efforts. As part of APTA's Go Green initiative, the association will push use of this document via electronic avenues. A PDF copy of the document is available at www.moveforwardpt.com (under For Health Care Professionals).

Slug Tongue. 2009. Spores on paper. 25 x 19 inches
First—the paper. The paper is a manufactured paper from Australia. It is a white paper treated with a black painted surface. The paint is mixed with pumice prior to the factory silk screening process. When the paint dries, the paper has a slight tooth. Mushroom spores are infinitesimal, approximately two trillion per tablespoon. Therefore, when they fall onto the painted surface, they are really falling into a painted forest of nooks and crannies that help hold them tightly in place. They become locked in and if the surface is not disturbed by any rubbing or scraping, the spore will remain indefinitely. The drawings are finished with a thick mat and backing. Glass is placed on top and the edges are sealed with tape, forming an air lock that keeps them exceptionally stable.
I pick the majority of my mushrooms in the wild, which requires many hours of walking through woods and fields in urban as well as remote and rural landscapes. Mushrooms grow everywhere, but for a very short time before they mature, drop their spores and begin to deteriorate. I have had the opportunity to travel to the Olympic Peninsula of the United States, Alaska, Mexico, Costa Rica, Europe and Asia to pick mushrooms for spore drawings, and have been known to pull high speed u-turns on highways to return to a mushroom spotting.
It drives passengers crazy.
"Jim Toia began producing spore drawings over a decade ago and is continually experimenting with the process. The procedure of creating spore drop prints is one that mycologists use to help identify individual species of mushrooms. They
will take a sample species, put it on a clean sheet of paper and protect it from all disturbances so that an accurate, uninflected mapping of the mushroom's dropping of the spores is taken. Toia is not necessarily interested in documenting spore patterns, but instead strives to collaborate with nature to create individual works of art. He creates interaction between the mushroom, chance and himself by encouraging air currents around the mushrooms. He also layers the activities of different species, and moves the mushrooms around to activate the full surface of the paper. Because the spores themselves are microscopic and therefore impossible to see until they have landed in quantity on the paper, the artist literally works in the dark with only his prior experience to guide him. The results are eerily beautiful images that encompass both space and time."

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- State Department of Agriculture officials say the destructive emerald ash borer has been found in Lee and Henry counties in northern Illinois.
The borer is a small, metallic-green beetle whose larvae burrow into the bark of ash trees, eventually starving the trees to death.
Signs of infestation include thinning and yellowing leaves and D-shaped holes in the tree bark.
The beetle is native to Asia and is believed to have arrived in the Midwest about 10 years ago via wooden shipping pallets. It's since killed more than 25 million ash trees.
The recent discoveries bring the number of Illinois counties with confirmed infestations to 26 -- more than one-fourth of the state. Thirty-nine counties are under quarantine to prevent people from spreading the beetle by moving wood products.

Enjoyed a good dinner at Mehran recently. Garlic naan was exceptional with superb crisp and air and thin with good sprinkling of garlic. Murgh Achar (pickled chicken) pretty good although mild. Masala Bhindi was tasty but we liked the version at Shah better. Highlight for me was their 'plain' basmatic rice which was very fragrant (with star anise and probably cardamom). Chef is Pakistani and friendly.

Las Vegas police responded to the city's international airport Monday evening after a shooting that appeared to be related to domestic violence, authorities said.
There were few details on the shooting available Monday night, though the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department called the shooting an ongoing investigation at about 6:40 p.m. PT
Police told NBC affiliate KSNV that two people were shot at the Terminal 1 parking structure.
The incident was reported at 5:56 p.m. PT, according to the official McCarran International Airport Twitter feed. Two people were taken to local hospitals, according to that Twitter account. An earlier tweet said their condition wasn't immediately clear.
The shooting suspect was not on airport properly shortly before 7 p.m. PT, according to another tweet from the airport. it wasn't clear if that meant a suspect was at large.
Police cruisers could be seen near a parking garage soon after the shooting.

Super Bowl XLV To Include 12 Players From Sugar Bowl History park
Super Bowl XLV, a matchup of the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, will include a total of 12 players, six from each team, who competed in the Allstate Sugar Bowl during their collegiate careers.
In 1999, defensive end Ryan Pickett, now with the Packers, and Ohio State defeated Texas A&M 24-14 in the 65th Classic giving the Buckeyes their first Sugar Bowl victory. In 2001, Steelers' offensive tackle Max Starks and the Florida Gators were defeated by in-state rival Miami, 37-20.
The LSU Tigers will have former Sugar Bowl participants on the both sides of the field as Steelers safety Ryan Clark was a part of the Tiger squad that beat Illinois, 47-34, in 2002. Packers' backup quarterback Matt Flynn is the only player out of the twelve to have played in multiple Sugar Bowls. Flynn was a part of the squad that defeated Oklahoma, 21-14, for the 2004 National Championship. Then, in 2007, Flynn was the backup quarterback in the first Sugar Bowl back in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and the Tigers defeated Notre Dame 41-14. He finished out his career as the starting quarterback for LSU in the 2008 Allstate BCS National Championship hosted by the Sugar Bowl with a win over Ohio State, 38-24. Flynn was named offensive MVP. Packers' fullback Quinn Johnson was a teammate of Flynn's at LSU for the 2007 Allstate Sugar Bowl and the 2008 Allstate BCS National Championship game in New Orleans.
In 2003, Steelers' cornerback Bryant McFadden played for the Florida State Seminoles and lost to Georgia, 26-13, in the 69th Sugar Bowl Classic. Two years later in 2005, linebacker Chris Ellis, who is a member of the Steelers practice squad, competed with Virginia Tech against Packers' cornerback Pat Lee and the Auburn Tigers. Auburn completed a perfect season winning the matchup, 16-14.
Packers' defensive end Jarius Wynn competed in the 2008 Sugar Bowl with the Georgia Bulldogs as they defeated Hawai'i by a score of 41-10. The following year, Steelers' linebacker Stevenson Sylvester helped bring undefeated Utah to its first Sugar Bowl as the Utes competed in the 75th anniversary of the Sugar Bowl Classic, upsetting fourth-ranked Alabama, 31-17.
In 2010, Steelers' center Maurkice Pouncey and Packers' practice squad linebacker Curtis Young met in the 76th Sugar Bowl playing for Florida and Cincinnati, respectively. The Gators won that match-up, 51-24.
On Sunday, make sure to look out for these twelve individuals who are a part of Sugar Bowl history.

Bloomberg reports that several of the newfangled body scanners found in U.S. airports are to be removed. OSI, the company behind the "Rapiscan" machines has apparently been unable to "make passenger images less revealing," says Bloomberg. As a result, OSI's $5 million government contract will come to an end; 76 machines have already been removed, with another 174 to go. All machines are being removed at OSI's expense.
This doesn't mean the end of body scanning machines, though. "The TSA will instead use 60 machines manufactured by L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (LLL), the agency's other supplier of body scanners," reports Bloomberg.
