Good 1mile start to catch Horse Creek trail.
Sumiton plus Horse Creek trail 4.2 miles. Nice ride, easy down and back on a beautiful day. Great warm up preparing for a longer trip. Scenery is very nice in March! Drove from Birmingham just to explore.
This was a fun little trail to ride our bikes on. We just wanted a casual ride and that's what we got! It is paved, flat, and shaded in some areas. There are shaded benches along the path which was nice. There are a few locations where the trail does cross over a back country road, so just be aware when you come to those. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my ride and will be back as soon as I can!
Shared asphalt greenway for bikers, walkers, runners. Follows a beautiful creek. Screened from road traffic but not remote. Used by All ages. Popular morning, day & early evening. Although shared, most bikers know to shout "on your right!" as they overtake walkers. Plenty of parking at east end of trail. Pro: Wide, Shaded, Mowed & caretaken, Easy. : No potties unless Homewood field potties are open, a few car breakins recently so stash your goodies well, dog walkers sometimes don't clean up w/doggie bags.
There are benches and trash cans spread along the path. A nice Creek Trail breaks off the path giving you a chance to walk down to the creek and explore a couple of minor waterfalls (less than a foot high). There is one building that you can rest in from the shade or the rain
The trail is completely asphalt. It now runs from TS Boyd Elementary School all the way to Bevill State Community College. It is an excellent rail Trail--I ride it on a daily basis. Very Very nice!
The trail is really beautiful. There were lots of people walking and cycling. There are also areas where you can sit and even charge your phone. I enjoyed my walk and plan to go further next time to see more of the trail.
This is a cute little trail that runs along 1st Ave N. near Sloss Furnace. It's paved and very stroller/bike/skates/walking friendly. It leads right up to the Rotary Trail and right past that is Railroad Park. I like to start at the Jones Valley trailhead and walk all the way to Railroad Park for a few laps and then back. It's aroun 3 miles of you do that.
nice biking trail, watch out in the 2nd residential area there are some dogs that get close to you but never had one to come after me
We took a ride from Bham up Old Hwy 78 W to reach this trail. One end of the trail is accessible from Old Hwy 78W behind a Jet-Pep next to Horse Creek Golf. The other end is down Sharon Blvd towards Dora in the TS Boyd Elementary School Parking lot. The trail is wonderfully maintained. There are kiosks along the route for sitting with bike racks. We saw deer along the route grazing. The trail begs to be extended. Families walking the trail were friendly! On our return back to Bham we did our own grazing at Lee's Family Restaurant. Wonderful food!
Pleasant ride thru the rolling hills of the countryside. Easy access to Dora from new Interstate 22. Poor signage to trailhead, had to ask locals for directions. Short ride that ends too soon, has the potential to be extended.
TrailLink is a free service provided by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (a non-profit) and we need your support!

Why a Weaker Yen Will Help Asia's Economy
Japanese shares shot to their highest level in more than four years as the yen continued to slide. The WSJ's Jacob Schlesinger talks about how a cheaper yen could benefit Asia's economy.

I ... the the ... the Japanese yen is quickly weakening and could break through the crucial ... hundred yen to dollar range and the next few days with me to discuss this is Jake's Schlesinger ... to give your teeth at the Wall Street Journal and Agence these buyers ... take if the party in Japan stocks are at their highest level in four years today ... and the yen has ... due to decreased almost thirty percent since November against the dollar ... now hovering at around ninety eight yen to the dollar what is happening ... well the reason has been driving both yen in stocks ... on which to be moving in a very close correlation due in opposite directions ... it has been in the first anticipated election of ...

I and and really this or that the history of Japanese currency and the end of the economy and markets ... stars around then where ... the US and in Europe ... on ... the two significantly aggressive easing has the Japanese yen became ... I did what has been a very tumultuous four year period ... I in global economy global financial markets has become the safe haven ... aam and so ... at that time you again in the did consent to weaken in when not just two hundred bed to read the below e and in the dollar ... I'm worthy instinctively in the dollar ... it was because it is a feeling that the Japanese government the Japanese central bank was not as interested in using ... as the U S Europeans were ... on its own towel either on the verge of taking things that the underway weakening the yen and a new and in ... the hunt again is not for say a magic number that psychologically as suggested that Japan is back on and ... using half of the yen is now a weakening ... tell me what is this mean for Japan incoming clearly when the when is he when the yen is weaker ... and helps Japanese exports but do you think depending salsa band again a bit big boost from this when it comes to their corporate profits ... yet you know aam certainly it is it is interesting the helping export really ought to be seen again the trade data there's usually ... a bit of a delay iam unending everybody is assuming that and that's been a big part of what has been driving ... the stock market ... aam you know will see earnings reports ... in a couple of weeks again ... a little bit too soon for them is to show up in existing businesses um ...

A. MS. notebook
Notebook I (pp. 1-37, of which pp. 1-4 and 12-37, with exception of 25-34, were published as 5.77n and 5.93-111 respectively). Unpublished: a discussion of the possible systems of metaphysics based on CSP's categories and their combinations. In CSP's opinion, the following philosophers were on the right track: Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Scotus, Reid, and Kant. Rejection of the idea attributed to the Hegelians that Aristotle belongs to their school of thought. Aristotle and the notion of esse in futuro. The Aristotelian distinction between existence and entelechy. Ockhamists and the rise of nominalism. Analysis of infinity (pp. 24-30). The reality of Firstness (pp. 31-35). Notebook II (pp- 38-62, of which pp. 38-45, 45-49, 49-51, 52-57, and 59-62, were published separately as 5.114-118, 1.314-316, 5.119, 5.111-113, 5.57-58 respectively). Omitted is a discussion of the reality of Secondness and a consideration of the position that feelings and laws (Firstness and Thirdness) are alone real (that to say that one thing acts upon another is merely to say that there is a certain law of succession of feelings). Experience is our great teacher invariably it teaches by means of surprises.

Got a Buc?
Got a Buc?
The Pirates are bringing back the popular $1 tickets for a game this season – scheduled for Sunday, April 22nd. Typically, the Pirates have done this in the past for the first night game of the season to draw fans in. It was always a bit of a downer some years when there would be 37,000 fans for Opening Day, and then 10,000 the next night for game 2 – so the Pirates have been doing this for a few years now.
However, the Pirates open the season against the Phillies at home and their second game, a Saturday night game, is nearly sold out, which is why the Pirates likely chose this game to be their $1 promotion day.
Last year's Buc Night was April 8 and drew 29,000
In 2010, Buc Night was April 7 and drew 31,000.
In 2009, the first ever Buc Night, April 15 – drew 20,000.
In 2008, there was no Buc Night for game #2 – the second game of the season drew just 9,735.
So, I think it's a nice idea to get fans to the ballpark early in the season and boost attendance numbers.
What does Buc Night mean to ballhawks? Stay away. Stay far away. Sunday BP's are rare. This is to allow players more time to sleep after a night game. Even when there are Sunday BPs, there is no early entrance for season ticket holders, so you'll likely only see one team hit, if at all. The outfield will be packed, so toss up balls between innings will be terribly tough.
In addition to the $1 tickets fans can buy hot dogs and popcorn for just a buck.
That's not all… Every kid in attendance age 14 or younger will receive a Kids Recycled Cap.
So what tickets are available? The entire upper deck, minus the club level is $1. All outfield box seats are also a $1. The only seats not priced at a $1 are the infield boxes. The Pirates could open those up to be $1 though if they sell out of all other seats. They did it before in the past…
There aren't 2 lower level outfield box seats left together, as tickets are selling fast, but there are still lower level seats in the upper rows of the outfield box seats, as well as outfield reserved seats on the wall. So don't delay!
I bought a bunch of $1 tickets in the lower level in section 131. I was thinking about giving them away as prizes, maybe after all of the $1 tickets are exhausted from the Pirates.
Just thought I'd like to let you know in case there is anyone looking for a cheap game at PNC Park – or in case any entrepreneurs want to make some money by reselling their tickets (like a bunch of others on Stubhub).
There are only 20 more days until Opening Day, and you have until Sunday to win the Sabathia shirt.
And I extended my posting streak to 56 straight. What does Joe Dimaggio have on me? By the way, I just made it by 1 minute. It's 11:59!

So-called snow hill is around a foot high.
Normally in the winter, one of the most popular recess destinations at Highland School is the big snow hill that grows larger as the season progresses. But this year, with so little snow accumulation to speak of, the so-called hill is around a foot tall, if that. Nevertheless, a bunch of sixth-grade boys on Friday checked out the view from up high.

Big flowers spring from well-developed roots
Don't wait for the ground to cool before planting spring-flowering bulbs. The sooner you plant in the fall, the longer they will survive and the better they will bloom. Gardeners who wait to purchase their bulbs at end-of-the-year sales are likely to see smaller flowers and smaller plants next spring. If buying from open bins, you are also likely to be purchasing smaller bulbs because the larger ones have already been taken. The larger the bulb, the bigger the flower.
Time to plant garlic and short-day onions
Place orders now to get your bulbs in the ground between mid-October and the first frost.I like the mild flavor of elephant garlic, so that is the only kind I am planting. Select only short-day onions for fall planting. Short-day onions form bulbs only when daylight lasts less than 10 hours. If you plant long-day onions in the fall, you will harvest green onions.
Planting while the soil is still warm allows the bulbs to generate a stronger and more fibrous root system. That's the first thing a bulb must do after being planted, and it must get the job done before its cold-dormancy requirements begin.
In large tulip, narcissus or hyacinth bulbs, the flower bud is already formed. However, that bud cannot develop until the bulb has undergone a series of cold-temperature changes. The gradual drop in temperatures satisfies the dormancy requirements of the bulb. Thus, the bulb should be well established in the soil and absorbing water through the new roots during this period of temperature change.
The gradual change in dropping temperatures in the fall, followed by a gradual change in rising temperatures in the spring, helps the plant develop to its full potential and survival as a perennial.
You can purchase pre-cooled bulbs for forcing, but those flowers are never as large as those planted and allowed to develop roots before being exposed to dropping temperatures.
Pre-cooled bulbs have been exposed to different low temperatures for a given number of hours. The bulbs are placed in sealed containers, exposed to 10-degree drops and held at those temperatures for several days. After the bulb temperatures have reached 40 degrees, they are held for several weeks before being stored at 55 degrees for storage and shipping. This method of pre-cooling allows florists to purchase the bulbs for forcing in time for the holidays.
The word to the wise gardener is buy the largest bulbs available, plant them early in well-prepared soil and enjoy big flowers next spring.

Outgoing Federal Reserve Chairmen Ben Bernanke recently said that, at present, the Fed is not overly concerned with the danger of bubbles forming in the financial system, although he stressed that the Fed is "watching vigilantly" for such risks. Based on the Federal Reserve's track record, surely there would be no bubbles if they truly had such foresight.
Soon we will forget the credit crisis and the housing market debacle. What will be the next shoe to drop? Cynics may suggest that Bernanke can afford not to be concerned with bubbles forming in the markets, because in a few weeks' time, it will no longer be his chief concern. Broadly speaking, market valuations appear to fall within historical ranges as matters stand right now, however that should not be viewed as comforting, in and of itself. Perhaps most worryingly, at present, we are quick to fabricate reasons for bad numbers coming out. For instance, adverse weather was blamed for the December 2013 non-farm payrolls hitting a three-year low, really? In our eyes, it is the Fed's bond buying program that poses the greatest threat to the economy and the inherent risks of financial instability that it brings with it. Too big to fail comes to mind. So let's examine where we are and where we are headed.
The Fed has been holding short-term interest rates near zero since late 2008, and at the same time, it has been buying long-term bonds to lower borrowing costs, with the aim of boosting growth and lowering unemployment. Interestingly, deflation has been a bigger concern than inflation as a result – but will this continue in the quarters and years to come?
At its December 2013 meeting, the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) decided to begin tapering its bond buying program. However, the Fed made clear that it remains committed to keeping short-term interest rates near zero so long as unemployment figures remain above 6.5% and inflation is well contained, and perhaps beyond that. A poll of economists recently indicated that more than two thirds do not foresee a change in Fed policy, even with Yellen at the helm.
When the Fed finally did embark on its much talked about tapering process, it did so with a $10 Billion reduction in monthly bond purchases, down from $85 billion. Expectations are that they will continue this trend with a further $10 billion reduction announced at each forthcoming meeting, bringing the process to an end in the last quarter of 2014. Note also that the Fed spent the better part of last fall trying to convince market participants that the "tapering process" is not "tightening."
Hopefully, at this point, there remains little confusion about the difference between "tapering" and "tightening." "Tapering" simply means reducing the amount of bond purchases made by the Fed, as started during QE3 in an attempt to keep long-term interest rates low. In contrast, "tightening" refers to increasing the Federal Funds rate, which is the target interest rate banks charge each other to borrow funds overnight. The concepts described above quite clearly differ from one another. While tapering is already under way, tightening will follow suit soon, likely next year. The Fed made a point of stressing that they will be accommodative for a long time. According to the Fed's own forecasts, actual tightening is projected to begin mid-2015. And the Fed will remain accommodative until the Fed Funds Rate has reached a level of 2%. Of course, being accommodative also means ongoing reflection on the true state of the economy, making Fed action highly "data-dependent".
We believe that with Bernanke handing the Fed Chairmanship to Yellen, the dynamics of the Fed are about to change to a great extent than what is currently priced into the markets. Bernanke's eight years will be studied and written about for years to come. Bernanke began his career at the Fed being already known as an accomplished academic and an expert on The Great Depression, knowing full well that his expertise would be tested. The financial crisis hit hard in 2008, and Bernanke proved himself under pressure as he implemented unconventional plans to inject stimulus and stabilize the economy: under his leadership, the Fed lowered rates until they could not be lowered anymore, bailed out banks, created international swap lines, committed trillions of dollars to large-scale asset purchases and engaged, how can we forget, in "Operation Twist". From the very start, Bernanke also made a commitment to increasing transparency, so that the markets could more fully understand and appreciate the Fed's intentions and actions. To achieve this, Bernanke did not shy away from unconventional methods: he went so far as to go on 60 Minutes to explain the Fed's role to the general public. All of this proved very helpful in providing the markets with much-needed confidence during the crisis. As is the case with many who have made tough decisions in high-profile positions, it will be many years before we can truly understand the wider effects of Bernanke's policies.
Yellen takes over at the upcoming January 28-29 FOMC meeting, and by all accounts the transition is expected to be smooth. Yellen has a long track record at the Federal Reserve. She has been President of the San Francisco Fed since 2004, and her ties to the Fed go back all the way to 1977. Throughout the most recent crisis, she and Bernanke have worked together very closely, with Yellen voting along with Bernanke at all meetings.

Not even sure we draft a RB this year. Probably go the bargain bin route like last year with Lumpkin and Taua.

Volvo V50 – Research New & Used Volvo V50 Wagons | Automotive.com
Volvo V50
Known for its Scandinavian-rooted stylish interiors and cutting-edge safety features that include optional built-in child booster seats, front-cabin head restraints, and side-impact/head curtain airbags, the sleek Volvo V50 distinguishes itself as an upscale compact family wagon with keen handling and the kind of fuel economy rating that any finance-conscious family would appreciate: 19/28 mpg city/highway.
Volvo V50 Origins
In the lexicon of Volvo, the V contained in a car's model name stands for versatility. After the highly successful decade of the 1980s, when the Volvo brand slowly began conquering the American yuppie-marketplace, the car company set its sights on some decidedly new ground: the compact family car niche.
As a completely new car built from the ground up, the Volvo S40 contains no engine-trace of the previous 400 series, save for the 1.9-liter Turbo Diesel that spilled over for a brief spell. The four-door sedan Volvo S40 marks the first the company displayed publicly at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1995, while its cousin model, the five-door V40 touring car, debuted a year later in Bologna.
As a joint design effort with Mitsubishi, the S40 and V40 offer more style than previous Volvo cars, with softer, more sweeping lines and curves than usual. Plus they offer a few breakthroughs in safety as well, namely standard side impact airbags. Unfortunately a poor performance rating and inferior sheet metal peppered along their exteriors hinders both models.
Volvo sought to improve the line with the introduction of the Volvo V50 as a replacement for the V40 in 2005.
About the Volvo V50
Dubbed a sport wagon by the Volvo team, the compact V50 features a stretched wheelbase, bulging fenders, a V-shaped bonnet swooping down its shoulders, and a slightly wider front and rear. These more aerodynamic curves, coupled with the optional turbo-charged trim option, help give the V50 better handling and sharper acceleration rates around challenging corners.
The first models of the Volvo V50, made available in 2005, come in two distinct family wagon rims: the 2.4i and the spunkier T5. The automatic transmission 2.4i's powertrain consists of a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine good for 168 hp, while the manual transmission, turbo-charged T5's 2.5-liter delivers 218 hp. Three years later, the T5 received a boost in horsepower up to 228, with an optional six-speed transmission trim available depending on which model year buyers opted for.
Volvo V50 Features
In a decision to trim back on its model line, Volvo announced in mid-2011 that it would discontinue the Volvo V50 in 2012.
For its final year, the five-passenger compact Volvo V50 comes in two different trims, T5 (base and Preferred) and T5 R-Design. Standard equipment for the base T5 includes a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with mounted audio controls, cruise control, Bluetooth capability, an eight-speaker stereo system with a CD changer, and a USB/iPod interface. At the Preferred level, buyers get a sunroof, leather seats, satellite radio, and a keyless entry/ignition function.
Opting for a T5 R affords its drivers a sunroof, sport-tuned suspension, partial leather seating, and specially designed floor mats, shifting knob, and dashboard gauges.
All the 2011 Volvo V50s have a dual five-speed shift/manual turbocharged 2.5-liter, inline-five engine capable of delivering 227 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. With a zero to 60 mph rate of 6.8 seconds, EPA estimated fuel economy for the V50 caps at a noteworthy 21/30 mpg city/highway.
Front side airbags, stability/traction control, and anti-lock disc brakes all come as standard safety features, with a blind warning spot system and rear child booster seat offered as options.
MSRP for the Volvo V50 is $29,000 for the T5 and $32,000 for the T5 R.
Volvo V50 Evolution
The 40 series (including the S40 and V40) ran from 1995 to 2004 and preceded the Volvo V50 series (2004 to 2012). The 40 series Volvos come saddled with a four-cylinder, 1.9-liter turbodiesel or a 1.6-liter, 1.8-liter, 2.0T, 1.9 T4, or 2.0-liter fuel-injected gasoline engine. Introduced by British designer Peter Horbury, manufactured in Holland, and based around a joint engineering effort by Volvo and Mitsubishi, the V40 earned recognition as the Most Beautiful Estate Car in the World for 1995.
By the time the second generation rolled off the assembly line in 2005, the V50 Estate was officially introduced, complete with a newly crafted powertrain and an all-new front or all-wheel drive platform based on the Volvo P1 platform. A front-mounted 2.5-liter, five-cylinder fuel-injected engine drove the V50 before receiving a slight performance boost of 9 hp in time for the 2008/2009 models.
2008 marks several notable interior/exterior improvements to the Volvo V50. New safety features include flashing emergency brake lights and a Blind Spot Information System. Models also offer more storage space and a souped-up audio system across all trims.

That's right, the webcast is coming your way starting Friday August 16th! We'll be rolling the live show out across a month with a different part each week and the exclusive rehearsal footage for the entire time. At the very end, the entire show will be up for the whole weekend (that corresponds to the last date of the US tour). We're partnered with Apple once again and it'll be in QuickTime 6 (using the latest high quality MPEG codecs) and should look great.
More details as we get closer!
In other news, Joe will be playing live on 107.7 The Bone in San Francisco on Monday (the day after his Concord show) at 7pm. He and the band will be in the studio chatting and playing. They appear to still have a live stream going that you can reach via their web site. They have also put up an audio mp3 file of Steven Seaweed's interview with Joe.
In Los Angeles,CA on Saturday, August 10, 2002 at 1:00 pm, Joe will be signing copies of �Strange Beautiful Music� as well as giving one lucky fan a chance to win a signed signature Ibanez guitar (winner will need to be present to win). The location is the Wherehouse Records at 7127 Sunset Blvd (at La Brea) in Hollywood.
Joe is scheduled to do a chat with USAToday.com on Monday, August 5th from 6:00-6:30 pm EST. Here is a link to their chat site.
And last (but certainly not least!) we are putting the finishing touches on a special webcast that will feature and exclusive peak at rehearsal before the Strange Beautiful Tour, plus the show from Amsterdam that happened on July 16th. The webcast will likely happen in stages, starting the middle of August and end up with everything being available for a few days at the end of the US tour.
howdy, so the webcast for netherlands folks of tonight's show in Amsterdam is hours away. i've received two links but am not sure which is the best one so i'm listing them both here. remember, the quality may not be good if you are outside of the Netherlands and/or Europe, but we will will rebroadcasting in a few weeks worldwide with additional bonus footage! Here are the links to try. When listening outside of Europe, try the lower speed broadcast if you have problems.
Heineken Music Hall Webcast Link
Planet Music Link
Ok, here's the scoop. We've arrange to webcast the Amsterdam show, but the quality and support for people outside of the Netherlands to watch the show is a little bit sketchy, so what we'll be doing is getting the master tapes and then taking them back to the US, adding in a little bit of bonus footage (from rehearsal, for example), and then teaming up with the QuickTime folks at Apple for another full worldwide webcast on-demand that will go on for a few weeks!
I'll post a link to the live show, in case you are near Europe and may have good luck watching w/out dropouts, but know that around the time of the beginning of the US leg of the tour, we'll have it up in full quality for everyone!

An autopsy report reveals two sisters who were found dead while vacationing on a tropical African island had died from fluid in their lungs, a condition commonly known as acute pulmonary edema.
Police in the Republic of Seychelles released the findings Friday morning after the bodies of 37-year-old and Annie Korkki 42-year-old Robin Korkki were found last week inside their villa at the Maia Luxury Resort.
Results showed Robin Korkki, who lived in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood and worked downtown as a trader, died of acute pulmonary edema caused by excess fluid in the lungs. Her sister, Annie Korkki, of Denver, died of the same condition, according to the autopsy, in addition to cerebral edema listed as a contributing cause. Cerebral edema is a swelling of the brain.
On their own the causes of death do not reveal much about how the sisters died, NBC News reports, but a pending toxicology report may be the key to uncovering it.
Seychelles police spokesman Jean Toussaint told NBC News officials hope to learn more from a toxicology report currently being processed at a lab on the island of Mauritius, about 1,000 miles away from the resort where the sisters were found.
The autopsy determined there were "no visible signs of injuries found on the bodies," Toussaint added.
Earlier this week their brother, Chris Korkki, told NBC 5's affiliate station KARE that their family had been given no information on how his sisters suddenly died on what was supposed to be a "dream vacation."
"It's all very surreal," said their brother, Chris Korkki, who lives in the suburbs of Minneapolis where the sisters grew up. "We don't know very much. Our family is still very much in shock. We're devastated."
He told The Associated Press he, his mother and brother have traveled to Seychelles for answers and to make arrangements to bring his sisters' bodies back to the U.S.
The sisters and self-described best friends had been traveling for a month and just two days from when they were scheduled to return home when they died.
"They were frequent travelers both domestically and internationally," he said. "They were kind and generous and compassionate, and were wonderful people that had a positive impact on a huge number of people."

Despite worrying rumblings that we're already seeing the latest 3D trend explode amid consumer apathy for the current things-poking-out-of-the-screen gimmick, Samsung is remaining upbeat—thanks to taking an 88% share of recent US sales of 3D TVs.
Claiming to have shifted one million sets in the space of six months, Samsung says its aggressive early launch plans saw it take that 88.3% share of the US market for 3D TVs between March and July of 2010. Globally, Samsung says it'll sell around 3.4 million 3D sets this year—and the US will account for a massive 66% of global demand for its 3D screens. While the novelty remains. [Samsung]

New Black Panther Party Offers $10,000 Bounty for George Zimmerman
The leader of the New Black Panther Party called for a $10,000 bounty for the man who shot and killed black Florida teen Trayvon Martin, a case that continues spark explosive emotions and strain the country's racial tensions.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," New Black Panther leader Mikhail Muhammad said Saturday when he announced the reward at a protest in Sanford, the Orlando suburb where the killing took place.
Trayvon Martin: Parents Vow Justice
Members of the New Black Panther party called for the mobilization of 10,000 black men to capture George Zimmerman, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Zimmerman has gone into hiding due to death threats and the offer of the $10,000 reward, his legal advisor Craig Sonner said, according to Reuters.
"He should be fearful for his life," Muhammad said. "You can't keep killing black children."
Warning: Video contains language some may find offensive
The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the New Black Panther Party as a "virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers."
The city of Sanford hopes to dissuade private attempts to punish Zimmerman.
"The City is requesting calm heads and no vigilante justice," local officials said in a statement, according to the Houston Chronicle. "Attempts by civilians to take any person into custody may result in criminal charges or unnecessary violence."
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, shot Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, on Feb. 26. Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense and Florida police have yet to arrest him, though the Justice Department may wind up filing a hate crime charge against him for the killing.
In addition to stirring up a heated debate about racism, the killing of Trayvon Martin has focused attention on Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows people to use deadly force against those who illegally enter their property or vehicle.
Florida adopted the now-controversial law in 2005, becoming the first of a series of states to expand the right to use lethal force for self-defense, according to ProPublica.
March in Memory of Trayvon Martin
Some 23 states have similar rules, referred to by such nicknames as "Stand Your Ground," "Shoot First" and "Make My Day" laws.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday that the Justice Department should investigate the laws.
"They're all new. They've been passed very, very quickly and I think the states who passed them, if they find out the real facts, they may decide to repeal them," Schumer said.

text: Op-Ed: A Better Dairy Program August 19, 2011 12:32 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email House Ag Committee Ranking Member Collin Peterson advocates discussion draft, rather than legislation, to achieve dairy reform. Source: House Committee on Agriculture - Democrats It has been nearly three years since the combination of declining milk prices and escalating input costs devastated the dairy industry. Many producers were forced out of business while others just barely managed to survive. The dairy safety net did not work in 2009 and it won't work if similar events occur now. Current dairy programs are not keeping pace with the challenges facing today's industry. In fact, the current levels of support will actually decrease in September of next year. I recently put forward a discussion draft of proposed dairy reforms that I believe will offer better protection, create stability and inspire growth in the dairy sector. The dairy industry can be a very diverse and divided industry, and for the first time I have seen agreement that the current system is hurting American dairy producers. We can't let this opportunity pass us by. Releasing a discussion draft, rather than legislation, gives the dairy industry the opportunity to weigh in and perhaps offer other suggestions. The reforms outlined in the discussion draft are not written in stone and there will certainly be changes before legislation is introduced. Working together, I believe we can create a safety net that will provide the support all sectors of the industry need while also being mindful of the current budget situation. We all know that this country is facing a budget crisis. In today's budget climate it is simply not realistic to suggest dairy program changes that cost more money than current programs. Congress has repeatedly targeted agriculture as part of efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit. Dairy, like all agriculture programs, won't be immune from future budget cutting pressures. The discussion draft's reforms provide savings and put us on the right path. We need to act sooner, rather than later, with real solutions, not just heated rhetoric. The symptoms leading up to the 2009 dairy crisis are again presenting themselves, and I fear we could lose half our dairies if we have another collapse. That would be devastating not only to the entire dairy industry but also consumers in this fragile economy. With the continued uncertainty in Washington, this is our best chance to act. Releasing the discussion draft was a first step. I look forward to building consensus. I plan to introduce bipartisan, cost-effective legislation in the coming weeks. I've appreciated the feedback from the dairy industry thus far and am hopeful that producers and processors can come together in a constructive way in the best interest of our dairy industry. We have the best dairy producers in the world. We need to ensure that they have the backing and the safety net they need so they can continue to provide for American consumers. Back to news

Albuquerque loves Manny Ramirez. He's a cheater? Who cares?
The Isotopes, a team that averages 7,715 per game is expecting 14,000 or more Tuesday night, including thousands sitting in an outfield grass lawn. Same thing will happen for the rest of the week, even though the notoriously fickle Ramirez may or may not play any of those games.
The two games Ramirez may play in the Inland Empire Sunday and Monday also are sold out.
This really shouldn't be a shock. Baseball fans have been quick to forgive their own for steroid use — Barry Bonds was public enemy number one everywhere but San Francisco, where he was and still is adored. Yankee fans still love Alex Rodriguez… okay, that may be a bad example. But the point still stands.
In the minors, when a big-time star comes to a minor league ballpark everyone wants to see it. Why he is playing there is irrelevant. Who cares about a suspension? They are gobbling up tickets that for games Manny may or may not play in. After Tuesday night in New Mexico, everything is a crapshoot. But people are rolling the dice with their money in a recession on this.
The Isotopes will be ready — there will be Manny merchandise for sale, more places to buy beer in the stadium and more police officers on hand.
How well Manny will do going back to hitting live pitching is uncertain. The only thing that may be certain is that the Albuquerque fans will give him a standing ovation when he steps to the plate.
The same thing will happen at Dodger Stadium when he returns there. Los Angeles loves Manny Ramirez.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than by working on a devil design for a very personal secret project. The charming Diablo character is a big motif in Mexican folk art and popular culture. He's in tons of folk tales, games, plays, murals, dances, songs and is always more of a funny trickster than an "evil" entity. He's a very lovable yet slightly dangerous character. Maybe it was my Catholic school upbringing but as a kid, I LOVED drawing devils. This usually got me in trouble with the nuns.

I've always liked the Devil to dress up, a fancy hell-being is a host to meet. I know this guy is German, but have you heard of The Krampus? It's this little demon/devil that follows Santa. They were like a coin always together treating the children of the world in each ones own way.
Anyhow everything I've seen from you has been nothing, but gold... short lived and still Gold. I hope that this project blows up to become something huge.

Have you ever tried to save a Photoshop document as a .png file, but .png doesn't show up in the list of options? It's probably because your color mode is set to CMYK and .png files do not support that color mode. To fix that, go into Image>Mode> and then check RGB and voila! you can now save as a .png
If you've worked in Photoshop much at all, then you probably already know that .png files allow for a transparent background which we like for our scrapbook elements!

Sometimes old games retain their charm. But more often, they simply feel dated, or worse, raise the question, "How did people find this entertaining?" The latter is the case with Block Breaker Deluxe, a sad attempt to revitalize the 1976 arcade classic Breakout (or if you prefer, the arcade classic Arkanoid from a decade later).
Of course, it's a familiar setup: there are some blocks on the screen, with a Pong-style paddle at the bottom; the player moves the paddle horizontally to meet a ball and bounce it into the blocks. If the player misses the ball and it escapes via the bottom of the screen, they lose a turn. When all the blocks are gone, it's time for the next level. Even the low-resolution graphics and terrible funk/disco music evoke times past.
But BBD is a WiiWare title, not a Virtual Console download, meaning that it's a new product rather than a port from a classic system. Indeed, there are some innovations that, for a few minutes at least, can hold a cynical gamer's attention in 2008.
First is the weird, tacky '80s theme. After the very modern-looking, 3-D introduction of the Gameloft logo, one gets the sense he's playing a fighting game from two decades ago. The story is that there's a Block Breaker tournament with a high entry fee, and to raise the money, you have to overcome a series of challenges in nightclubs for profit. Each nightclub is a level, and success unlocks various items (including a statue of a naked woman) and additional clubs. To go with the old-school-fighting-game atmosphere, the club's owner taunts the player before each set of blocks, and blurts out annoying exclamations during play.
Second, and more important, there are many types of blocks. Some take several hits to disappear, and others are metallic and nearly unbreakable, serving mainly as obstacles - the player must angle the ball around the metallic blocks to take out the more fragile ones and pass the level.
Some of the blocks contain power-ups though, and that's where the problems start. To control the paddle, players use the pointer function of the Wii-mote, and it works pretty well for the most part (sometimes it can be hard to hold the paddle steady). To control the icon that collects the power-ups, players use the pointer function of the Wii-mote again. Horizontally, the paddle and pointer are always in the same place; players can move the pointer vertically as well.
As a result, if a power-up is on one side of the screen, the only way to get it is to move the paddle to that side, whether the ball is there or not. Especially if the ball is moving quickly, doing so will often cost a turn, which kills the power-up. Having the pointer as a second option for collecting power-ups is nice (on the old games, players could only catch them on the paddles), but it ends up being more of a distraction than an aid.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons tennis team would like to see the success they have enjoyed indoors this season translate to their outdoor matches.
Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m. they open the outdoor portion of the schedule when Southern Illinois visits the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center. The Lady Bisons are 6-3. Southern Illinois, the winner of its last seven matches, is 7-3.
The Lady Bisons were unbeaten at home this season in four matches for the first time ever in indoor competition. It is the best start of the season overall for the program.
"We want those matches to give us confidence, but we don't want to think we are better than anybody else," Aid said. "We are big on the approach that once the match is over the next day we reset 0-0.
"We know all our matches are going to be dogfights. This year we are in the dogfights which is different than last year. We are not in the position where we are going to blow everybody out of the water. We have to have the same mentality in each match. There can be no let up."
Aid is pleased to see that her young team, with two juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen, bought into the intense workouts of the fall in both practices and in the weight room. Wins and losses were not the primary concern.
The theme starting in the fall and continuing this season is "finish, finish, finish".
"It was overly hard for them to be O.K. with losing this past fall," Aid said. "In order to be successful this spring they had to sacrifice some results in the fall. Not caring about the wins and losses on the individual side impacted the team positively.
"They bought into it. Nobody complained. They had a good mentality. And that first weekend this spring, when we played and won against UT-Martin and Belmont, they saw the results fast."
The goal of finishing is simple. Aid wants her players to get better and better with each match.
"They knew every day in the fall what we were about," Aid said. "They finished in practice. They finished in the weight room.
"We want to continue to get better and better. We want to finish every match. As we move on into the season those improvements get smaller and smaller. We are seeing smaller leaps, but it pertains to off the court too with grades."
The Lady Bisons have not played a match since Feb. 27, but that doesn't mean they have been sitting on the sidelines.
"We took two days off to rest and then we started practicing again," Aid said. "We hadn't been very technical with them because we had been going from match-to-match.
"We have had time to make some small tweaks with players that we have addressed in the past couple of weeks. We have been more technical. We have changed things on the technical side and not just the game plan side."
Aid has stressed the idea that every player is a leader.
"They have all bought into supporting each other," Aid said. "They have really bonded together well. We are teaching this group how to be mature at a young age because they all have to step up."
"I call Jenny Borck and Deahna Welcher the silent leaders. They do a good job of leading by example. Lorena Djuknic is a very vocal leader. Every one of them is different in how they choose to lead."
There are several differences in how players prepare for outdoor matches after playing so many matches indoors.
"The ball is a lot faster indoors," Aid said. "There are more equalizers outdoors like the sun and the wind.
"Indoors is a faster-paced game. Outdoors is slower so you are looking on developing your points a little bit more."
Aid thinks her players are suited for success in the outdoor matches.
"They want to see the process to developing a point, being able to be patient," Aid said. "They all have their individual games plans. They all know their strengths.
"You have to be patient in deciding which ball to put away. It is the difference between switching from defense to offense and being smart about it."
