Rutgers guard Corey Sanders to enter NBA Draft
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Rutgers sophomore guard Corey Sanders is entering the NBA draft.
In making the announcement Thursday, the university said Sanders will not sign with an agent.
Sanders will be able to attend workouts scheduled by NBA teams and will be eligible for invitation to the league's combine next month. Players have until 10 days after the combine to remain in the draft or return to school, as long as they don't sign with an agent.
Sanders started 31 of 33 games this season, averaging 12.8 points and 3.2 rebounds.
Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell said Sanders needs to make an informed decision on his future.
"My dream has always been to play in the NBA," Sanders said. "I look forward to determining where I am in that journey."

It took four years, but Sindarius Thornwell has finally put South Carolina on the basketball map
NEW YORK — If the NCAA tournament ended today, South Carolina guard Sindarius Thornwell would be named the event's Most Outstanding Player.
Through two games, he's averaging 27.5 points and 3.5 assists while shooting 48.5 percent from the floor and 6-for-12 from three. He's been the catalyst of an offensive explosion fro the Gamecocks that no one — not Thornwell, not Frank Martin, not anyone — could have seen coming.
South Carolina, a team that ranked in the 130s in offensive efficiency nationally and in the 300s in effective field goal percentage prior to the start of the NCAA tournament, put up 93 points on Marquette and 88 points on Duke. They scored more second half points in their upset win over the Blue Devils — 65! — than they did in ten games this season, five of which they won.
So it may not come as a surprise to you that No. 7 seed South Carolina's opponent in the East Regional semifinals, No. 3 seed Baylor, have zeroed in on Thornwell as the man they need to slow down on Friday night.
"Coach has broke down every made shot that he's had and we have all watched at least about three hours of film on just Sindarius," Baylor senior Ishmael Wainwright said. "He's just a great player. The whole team, it's not just me, it's not just me, but the whole team, we'll be trying to stop him."
It's fitting that Thornwell is the cornerstone of South Carolina's arrival on the national scene, as the Lancaster native was the most important commitment of Frank Martin's tenure with the Gamecocks. A blue-chip prospect that ranked in the top 40 of every recruiting service, Thornwell was an in-state kid that was recruited by the likes of Louisville, Indiana and Syracuse. South Carolina, at the time that Thornwell committed, had a new head coach that took over a program that hadn't been to the NCAA tournament in eight years and had the prestige of making four trips to the Big Dance in the previous 38 seasons.
More to the point, it wasn't clear whether that new head coach, Frank Martin, was there because he wanted to be there or because he simply didn't want to be at Kansas State anymore, a program where his relationship with his Athletic Director had deteriorated.
Thornwell, who at that point had left Lancaster High School for the more prestigious Oak Hill Academy, had every reason in the world not to go to South Carolina.
But he did.
He wanted to play for his state, for his family. He is loyal, and that loyalty almost kept him from leaving Lancaster for Oak Hill in the first place.
"They had to force him to go, because he did not want to leave his state, did not want to leave his high school team, did not want to leave his high school coach, did not want to leave his family," Martin said. "His uncle, 'Big Country', Dajuan Thornwell, may he rest in peace, who was his father figure basically put him in a car and drove him and said, 'You're going to school here. This is for your own good.'"
"And it's who he has become. The day I got the phone call from him telling me, 'I want to do this with you,' when he could have gone to some of the blue bloods. He wanted to help us build. He wanted to surround his heart with the state name that means so much to him and his family's name on the back of his jersey. And that's powerful."
Thornwell was the SEC Player of the Year in 2017. He was in the mix for a spot on the NBC Sports All-American teams before South Carolina's late-season swoon. He's had a sensational senior season individually, but more importantly, he got South Carolina back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2004. He led them to the Sweet 16 for the first time since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. South Carolina had never won back-to-back in the NCAA Tournament before.
As in ever.
Thornwell did that for his state, and he wasn't alone. Fellow senior Justin McKie and sophomore P.J. Dozier are both from Columbia, and the Gamecocks have quite a bit of young talent on their roster, as well as a five-man recruiting class headlined by four-star prospect David Beatty and former Delaware guard Kory Holden, who sat out this past season as a transfer.
The South Carolina program is as healthy as it's been in decades, and Thornwell has as much to do with that fact as anyone.
"I have been born and raised in South Carolina," Thornwell said, saying that all of the South Carolina natives play "for the same reasons, for our family, for our state. We all grew up in South Carolina. We all have been through the struggles and with the program."
"For us all to be in the spotlight is just tremendous because we don't feel like we get the recognition that we deserve."
The Gamecocks certainly got plenty of recognition last weekend, becoing the focal point of the nation's glare as they played a the biggest role in putting an end to the soap opera that was Duke's season.
And Thornwell is going to find himself getting plenty of recognition on Friday night, as the Bears will focus plenty of their attention on slowing down the Gamecock star.
After all, three hours of film on one player is a lot of film.
"They exaggerate so much," Baylor head coach Scott Drew said. "It was only two and a half."
Rice promotes Scott Pera to head coach
Rice didn't have to look far for its new head coach.
The university announced on Thursday afternoon that associate coach Scott Pera will take over the program. He replaces Mike Rhoades who returned to VCU to fill its vacancy on Tuesday.
Pera had been with the program for three seasons following stints at Penn and Arizona State. Based on the reaction from the players, they approve of the hire.
Pera was also the high school coach of James Harden.
The Owls, coming off a 23-12 season, are expected to bring back three double-digit scorers for next season: Marcus Evans, Egor Koulechov and Marcus Jackson.
Report: NCAA affirms its Louisville allegations
The NCAA continues to hold the position that Louisville coach Rick Pitino failed to properly monitor the program amid the scandal surrounding a former staffer and illicit parties, according to documents obtained by ESPN.
Louisville received the notice of allegations from the NCAA in January, and In its response, Louisville did not deny the NCAA's findings, but argued that Pitino should not have been seen as failing to monitor Andre McGee, who is alleged to have organized the gatherings at Minardi Hall on the Louisville campus.
McGee is alleged to have paid for women to dance for and perform sex acts on Cardinals recruits.
The NCAA stated that Pitino "did not uphold his duties as head coach and in doing so, failed to discover" McGee's actions and that if he "saw no red flags in connection with McGee's interactions with then prospective student-athletes, it was because he was not looking for them," according to ESPN's report.
The original allegations were made by Katina Powell in a book that was published in 2015.
Louisville self-imposed a 2016 postseason ban and scholarship reductions as part of the scandal, but was looking to avoid further punishment on Pitino, who could be subject to suspension.
Pat Kelsey will not take the UMass job
Moments before Pat Kelsey was set to be formally introduced as the new head coach at the University of Massachusetts, the school canceled the press conference citing, "unforeseen circumstances."
According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN, the former Winthrop coach has decided not to accept the job after all. Kelsey, 41, had agreed to terms with UMass on Tuesday. Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated reports that Kelsey is heading back to Winthrop.
In five seasons at Winthrop, Kelsey compiled a 102–59 (56–30 Big South) record, leading the Eagles to the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
Kelsey was expected to replace Derek Kellogg, who was relieved of his duties after nine years at his alma mater. Kelsey was a smart hire. He had ties to the Atlantic 10, both as a player and an assistant coach at Xavier. His freshman recruiting class included a player out of the NEPSAC, showing that Kelsey was also familiar with the New England prep school recruiting landscape.
This has gone from a hire that was seen as a good one by many, to a nightmare scenario for UMass athletic director Ryan Bamford, who was making his first major decision in Amherst.
Other names linked to the vacancy were Vermont's John Becker, Miami associate head coach Chris Caputo and Boston Celtics assistant coach, and former Butler and Purdue assistant, Micah Shrewsberry.

JMC asks, what wont you read?
I posted on Keishon's blog, that I don't do inspirationals, cuz religion is public enemy number one, as far as I'm concerned. When I can't pick up a newspaper anymore without seeing the atrocious crap that's done in the name of God, well, reading about Christian values in a romance would be enough to make me gag methinks. I'm sure there are some good inspy's out there, but I'm not willing to even go there. Sorry.
I also don't do incest stories. That should go without saying, but apparently that shit's more popular than people realise. *Shudder*
What say you?

Taruna's Certificate in Holistic Health enables students to begin their journey into multi-dimensional healing. Taruna has welcomed students from many different parts of the world into these well-respected programmes.
The Certificate in Holistic Health will not be offered in 2016. Please check back later in the year for dates and details for 2017.
Holistic health is an approach that takes the broadest possible view of illness and disease, identifying both internal and external causes, and then offering multi-dimensional healing as opposed to specific cures. It is as concerned with one's propensity towards disease as it is with its transmission. Why does one person get colds or infections more easily than another, or at different times? Can we render ourselves more hardy and disease-resistant before medical intervention is necessary, and more resilient when illness does occur?
Taking into account one's body, mind, emotions, and spiritual life, holistic health combines the best of modern scientific diagnosis and monitoring techniques with both ancient and innovative health promotion methods. These include natural diet and herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, exercise, relaxation, counseling, meditation, breathing exercises, and other self-regulatory practices. It addresses not only symptoms, but the entire person, and his or her current life predicament, including family, job, and spiritual life. It emphasizes prevention, health maintenance, high-level wellness and longevity. It views the client as an active participant in the healing process, rather than simply a passive recipient of "health care." At once personal, ecological, and transcultural, holism has become the new health paradigm for the 21st century.
Taruna – Holistic Health
Overview of Programme
The programme is delivered around three eight day seminars a year, complemented by independent study undertaken at home.

- Have evolved a contemporary understanding of the human being that integrates a spiritual dimension;
- Have a theoretical framework and new skills to more effectively meet the need for holistic health (physical, psychological and spiritual).
The suggested home-based study hours to meet the theory and clinical-based requirements associated with the programme are about 7 hours per week.
The programme takes place at Taruna's Homestead Campus in a peaceful setting of gardens and trees on the lower slopes of Te Mata Peak, in Havelock North.

Two unauthorized health products "18 Again" and "Stiff 4 Hours" were tested by Health Canada and were found to contain hidden ingredients (sildenafil or tadalafil) that may pose serious risks to the health of Canadians. The products were being sold at the Unchained Romance booth at the 12th Annual Vancouver Taboo Sex Show.
These products are promoted as male sexual stimulants and contain hidden prescription medications. Approved drugs that contain them can only be sold with a prescription and by a pharmacy. The purchase of such products elsewhere can put your health at serious risk.
What you should do
- Consult your healthcare practitioner with any questions or concerns regarding use of these products.
- Read the label of the products you buy to verify that they have been assessed by Health Canada for safety, effectiveness and quality. Health products that have been authorized for sale by Health Canada will have an eight-digit Drug Identification Number (DIN), a Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM) or a Natural Product Number (NPN) on the label. Some natural health products (NHPs) may have an Exemption Number (EN).
- Report any adverse reaction potentially related to these products to Health Canada.
- Contact Health Canada's toll-free line at 1-800-267-9675 with questions or complaints about these products.
Who is affected
Canadians who have purchased or used these products, particularly people with heart problems.
Sildenafil and tadalafil are prescription medications that should only be used under the supervision of a health care practitioner. Products containing sildenafil or tadalafil should never be used by individuals taking any kind of nitrate drug (e.g. nitroglycerine) as they can cause potentially life-threatening low blood pressure.
Individuals with heart problems including high blood pressure, a history of heart attack, stroke, abnormal heart beat or chest pain are at higher risk of cardiovascular side-effects if they engage in sexual activity, including if they use sildenafil or tadalafil to help them achieve an erection. Other possible side-effects of using sildenafil or tadalafil include headache, facial flushing, indigestion, dizziness, abnormal vision and hearing loss.
Report health or safety concerns
To report suspected adverse reaction to these or other health products, please contact Health Canada's Canada Vigilance Program toll-free at 1-866-234-2345, or complete a Canada Vigilance Reporting Form and send to us using one of these methods:

Billions of pounds invested by pension funds, City institutions and retail investors could be hit by a looming "armageddon" in the bond markets, it emerged yesterday.
Experts warned that a bubble is building in the £250bn corporate bond sector, which has become a popular way to invest because it offers safer returns than most traditional savings and investment products.
According to industry figures, 40 per cent of assets in the market are owned by five large funds and 30 per cent by the three largest. Fears have been raised that these funds could struggle to meet investors' demands to withdraw money because of illiquidity in the market.
The issue, which is being looked at by the Financial Services Authority, has been raised by Old Mutual Global Investors in a note to clients seen by The Independent.
Stewart Cowley, head of fixed income at the fund manager, warned of "liquidity crisis" in the market. He said rival M&G has asked advisers to stop putting money in its corporate bond funds, while Invesco has said it needs to keep £750m in cash and short-term securities as a liquidity buffer.
"Let's look at a hypothetical situation such as the FSA might be concerned about, for example, if a manager at one of the mega-funds was to retire and a proportion of the investors in the fund wished to redeem their positions until a new manager had settled in," he said. "Let's suppose the effect was a modest run of redemptions equal to 5 per cent of the fund. In a fund of £6bn, that is £300m. This would be extremely difficult to liquidate in a market which trades in parcels of £1m-£2m, and where the counterparties are your direct competitors."
One City source said the large inflows for these "mega-funds" meant the quality of bonds being bought could also be hit. In order to soak up their cash flows, mega-funds managers need to buy most of the bonds available, not just the best-value bonds.
Simon Evan-Cook, investment manager at Premier Asset Management, added: "Getting caught in an illiquid asset class when the herd decides it's time to bail out could incur permanent losses for investors. It's crucial to avoid funds that have grown too big for their asset class, as they can leave you low and dry."
Talk of a corporate bond crisis is likely to make grim reading for UK pension funds, which have seen their deficits widen in recent years. Earlier this month, figures from the Pensions Regulator and Pension Protection Fund showed that pension schemes now have more of their money invested in bonds than in shares.
Pension funds now have 43.2 per cent in government and company bonds, compared with 38.5 per cent of their money in shares. One year ago, the balance was tipped the other way, with investments in shares at 41.1 per cent compared with 40.1 per cent in bonds.
Roger Mattingly, president of the Society of Pension Consultants, said: "Given their size, pension funds would be amongst those hardest hit if the risk of a destabilised bond market was realised.
"Managing liabilities and risk is the challenge facing every pension fund and these are inextricably linked.
"In their efforts to manage their liabilities, investors need to make sure that they take into account all the risks, some of which are not always immediately apparent and some of which can even be created by trying to do the right thing."

When he is ready he will let you know the more you push them to use the potty the more they will stear clear. my son hated the potty went straight on the toilet

my 2 boys both started at 3 and in my experience it is best not to push it they know when they are ready and big boy undies are a huge incentive :)
Sanita - posted on 01/06/2009
My doctor told me not to worry too much until he is 3 but lately he has had some moments so I started a reward system and everytime he goes in the potty I give him a mini m&m and that REALLY seems to be doing the trick. I also bought him some big boy underwear (he loves cars) and so I put those on him and say "dont pee on the cars" and that really has helped too.
It just takes time and patience to find what works best for each kid.
Boys are so different from girls.....Good Luck!

Hi, Julie. I'd say to let it ride for a few more months. I am the proud mother of 3 year old boy/girl twins. My daughter was fully trained at about 2 years and 3 months. My son had no interest though we tried and tried. We gave him more time and finally had to make it happen before their 3rd birthday so they could start pre-school. Giving him that extra time helped, and although he pooped on himself every day for like 2 months, he did get peeing down and now he's 3 and perfect. So, I think boys tend to be longer. When you do start trying again, I'd recommend cheerios in the toilet (ready! aim! FIRE!!) and a reward system (stickers worked for my kids). Good luck!

my son will be 3 in march and certainly has no interest. He's my 4th child and my experience is don't push it as you will only work harder longer. So i just suggest it to him and talk about it frequently. If he's not interested in the next month or so, I'll probably start pushing more
[deleted account]
Wait until the summer. Little boys love to be naked in the yard and pee in the bushes. It's a fun game!!

Movie Review: Beasts of the Southern Wild
There's no question that Beasts of the Southern Wild is one of the most beguiling and original movies you will see this year, if not this decade. The film cannot be pigeonholed into any particular genre; it's whimsical and dreamy at times, but devastatingly sad in others.
Like Terrence Malick's Tree of Life, there is no real plot. Beasts takes place in a fictional community dubbed "the bathtub" due to it's positioning on one side of a levee. Clearly, this is supposed to be a thinly veiled reference to New Orleans. Modern civilization exists on the other side. The bathtub is a melting pot of individuals who live in squalor along the banks of a swampy river. Their meager shacks make the house in Winter's Bone look like an absolute palace by comparison. Rickety lean-to sheds are constructed from whatever junk was lying around. Their homes are filthy and most of the inhabitants appear to have a serious hoarding problem. But you know what? These people are happy and content where they are living; they scoff at the other side of the levee, declaring that they live in the most beautiful place on earth.
Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis) is a fiercely independent six year-old who lives with her alcoholic (and ailing) father Wink (Dwight Henry). Hushpuppy's reaction to his frequent alcohol fueled tirades is defiance, landing her in trouble many times. After hearing a fable about giant beasts called aurochs, she fears that they are stampeding their way into the bathtub, destroying everything in their path. She also frequently has visions of her mom, who left the family years ago.
Given that the two principal actors had no acting experience, the performances are amazing. Wallis makes you want to reach through the screen and give Hushpuppy the hug she so wants from her father. She'll linger with you for a long time. Wick is an interesting character. Though he is explosive when his anger is peaked, he never crosses the line into physical abuse. At the last second, he always manages to rein it in. You get the sense that he is doing the best he can under the circumstances. It also seems as though he might be holding her at arm's length to prepare her for his rapidly approaching death, since she will be on her own.
Beasts has a distinctly surreal feel most of the time, particularly with the aurochs and the eccentric characters Hushpuppy comes in contact with. It also has a political undercurrent. The aurochs have been unleashed due to environmental changes, and the bathtub residents are forced to evacuate to a shelter when the bathtub floods, even though most of them would rather die than leave.
It's a beautifully shot film, and first time director Benh Zeitlin (who also co-wrote the story) works wonders with a small budget. It just goes to show that bigger is not better. This is far more evocative than most films out there. Love it or hate it, you haven't seen anything like it.
Rating: 5/5

With increasing frequency, the automatic gear shifter on my Lexus LS400 (1997) gets stuck in D3 and can't move up to N R or P (although it will move down to 2 and L). I have to just keep trying to move it up by going down and back up again until the shifter eventually moves pass D3. What could be the problem and how much will it set me back to fix it.

Had you already figured out that the title "BBR" stood for baby back ribs? It's my shortcut name for one of my favorite foods. Seems like it's the favorite of quite a few people. When we made these ribs in kids' classes last month, we all broke into the that little tune that sticks in your brain all day long once you hear it….. "I want my baby back, baby back, baby back…. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back….I want my baby back, baby back, baby back….Chili's baby back ribs…"
Sing now, and thank me later…

I am so happy right now! All of my friends have finally made it out of the terrible shelter and back into our foster homes! Our rescuer and her volunteers (including Daddy and Stefi) have been working hard to get us back into foster homes and into her home after some bad stuff went down (will explain later, just know for now that it was a mess that should have never happened!). We started out at a county shelter and then got put into a SPCA...that turned out to be not much better than a county shelter. But as of last night, the last of my friends were freed from the SPCA and taken back to their foster home! YAY! We are all so happy right now! :-)

Having already watched this film thrice I decided to write this little review. But, frankly, my words are not enough to explain the epicness that defines this brilliant film. From the moment it started I was sure I wouldn't be able to restrain myself from crying. The movie starts with Bilbo(Ian Holm)saying those majestic words: "In a whole in the ground, there lived a hobbit..." and by that moment you can't help but be blown away with excitement and emotion. I guarantee you will feel that way in every other scene, as well(especially if you've read the book). Amazing cinematography, outstanding directing and breathtaking performances from every actor. Being back to Middle-earth was and unforgettable experience (and also a very unexpected one!) The only I can say is a big thank you to PJ for doing this!

Bundesliga giants insist €18m deal will be completed and that they will have the Germany international custodian in their squad for the start of the 2011-12 season
Bayern Munich are confident that they will formally sign Manuel Neuer this summer despite recent suggestions that Schalke will try to hold on to their goalkeeper.
Reports in the German media strongly suggest that an agreement between the two clubs have been reached, with Bayern to pay Schalke €18 million as transfer fee for Neuer, whose contract with the Royal Blues ends at the end of next season.
Nonetheless, Bayern's chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes that they will have Neuer in their team for next season and told Bild: "I am convinced Schalke will keep to the agreement we made with a handshake.
"I know the representatives of Schalke as men of honour and reputable operators, as we are too."
However, Schalke board member Peter Peters gave a different version of the deal and explained: "At the end of our conversation [Bayern managing director] Karl Hopfner stood up and we shook hands to seal the switch. But then our managing director Horst Heldt said: 'No, we cannot do that yet!'"
He added: "We had a really good conversation with the Bavarians and have also reached an economic agreement. But we have not yet decided to accept the offer."
Neuer rejected a contract extension from Schalke earlier this season but recently said that he is in the dark over his future.

In Oregon, hospitals are asking, some promoting, Advanced Care directives for patients. There is a guide & legal form that can be filed with doctor & hospital. My question is how to use this or not in relationship to a Living Will??? I have read through the guide and if one appoints Health care Representatives and directs the directive to follow the teachings of the Church, it seems to be ok as a stand alone document. I see the key element in this is representatives that are grounded in their Catholic faith & care for the loved one in a health situation where they cannot speak for themselves. A problem with this directive is that it is not dynamic to changes in medical breakthroughs or practices that may be available after the document was created..... At this point, I am more inclined to trust my wife & brother a Doctor to be my representatives & fill out the directive & give it only to them...... I'm torn on how to approach this important issue correctly, carefully & be in harmony with the teachings of the Church. God Bless; SJS |
Answer by Judie Brown on 7/9/2013: | ||||||||
Dear SJS The best alternative to these forms is a life affirming LOVING WILL. I am passing your email
on to our office and they will send you information. These documents, such as those being used in Oregon, are not designed to agree with
Catholic teaching while the LOVING WILL is. Judie Brown |

Lodging Tax Amounts Collected by Local Governments, Calendar Year 2001
Ohio's Revised Code permits local governments to levy a tax on lodging furnished to transient guests by hotels and motels within their jurisdiction. Municipalities or townships may levy a lodging tax of up to 3 percent, plus an additional tax of up to 3 percent if they are not located (wholly or partly) in a county that has levied a lodging tax. Counties may levy a lodging tax of up to 3 percent, but can not initiate such a tax in any municipality or township that has levied the additional lodging tax.
In addition, Ohio law permitted the enactment of several special lodging tax levies during a limited period of time. During a three month period in 1985, counties were authorized to enact an additional lodging tax for convention center construction (Lucas County enacted such a tax at 3 percent). During a six month period in 1988, county convention facilities authorities were authorized to enact an additional lodging tax for financing a new convention or sports center (Franklin, Guernsey, and Muskingum County CFA's enacted such a tax). Counties were permitted to enact an additional lodging tax for port authority educational and cultural facilities during a three month period beginning in 1992 (Cuyahoga County enacted such a tax at 1.5 percent for the rock and roll hall of fame). Counties were authorized to enact an additional lodging tax for municipal educational and cultural facilities during a three-month period in 1993 (Summit County enacted such a tax at 1.5 percent for the national inventors' hall of fame). Lucas County enacted a special lodging tax under a 1997 law, with the proceeds used by the county convention and visitors bureau to be used to promote and market the region. Finally, a 1999 law authorized a 45-day period during which qualified counties could enact a special lodging tax of up to 4 percent for financing a new county convention facility. The maximum combined tax rate permitted in most locations is 6 percent. However, due to the enactment of special lodging taxes, in some counties the maximum combined tax rate exceeds 6 percent. These counties and the highest combined tax rates (as of December 31, 2001) are: Cuyahoga (7.5%), Fairfield (7.5%), Franklin (10%), Guernsey (9%), Lucas (8%), Muskingum (8%), and Summit (7.5%).
For most municipalities and townships, revenue from the lodging tax goes to the general revenue fund. However, for municipalities or townships that levy the additional tax of up to 3 percent, the revenues from the additional tax are divided between the general revenue fund of the municipality or township and the convention and visitors' bureau (at least 50 percent) operating in the county. To those municipalities and townships within the county that do not levy a lodging tax, counties are required to return a uniform percentage (not to exceed 33 1/3 percent) of the revenue from the county lodging tax generated within such municipalities or townships. The remainder of the revenue is deposited in a separate fund to be used for county convention and visitors' bureau expenses.
Although 15 localities did not report calendar year 2001 lodging tax data, 59 counties, 102 townships and 138 municipalities (109 cities and 29 villages) reported having a lodging tax. Notwithstanding the special levies listed above, rates range from 1.0 percent to 6.0 percent. Approximately 78 percent of the lodging taxes reported were at a 3 percent rate. For jurisdictions that produced revenue, lodging tax collections for calendar year 2001 ranged from $353 in Elk Run Township (Columbiana County) to $12,999,042 for the Franklin County CFA, with a statewide total of $92,662,409. Twenty-nine localities with a lodging tax reported no revenue for calendar year 2001.

The Portrait of a Lady
The Portrait of a LadyBlu-ray
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (2002, Best Actress, The Hours) stars in The Portrait Of A Lady, based on the Henry James novel of freedom and seduction. Isabel Archer (Kidman) is a young woman of daring independence and equally fierce desires. Her headstrong innocence is no match, however, for the manipulations of her duplicitous friend Madame Merle (Barbara Hershey) and the devious Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich). Featuring an all-star supporting cast including Sir John Gielgud, Shelley Winters, Christian Bale, Viggo Mortensen and Mary-Louise Parker, writer/director Jane Campion's (The Piano) vision is a lavish, richly layered epic of seduction, betrayal and hopeful triumph.

Canada's Recent Productivity Record and Capital Accumulation
In this article, Someshwar Rao, Jiamin Tang and Weimin Wang of Industry Canada examine the impact of capital accumulation on Canada's recent productivity record. A key finding is that the widening of the Canada-U.S. labour productivity gap in both the business sector and in manufacturing in the second half of the 1990s was largely due to the widening of the capital intensity gap between the two countries. Indeed, the authors find that in the business sector multifactor productivity growth in the two countries was virtually identical at around 2 per cent per year in the 1995-2000 period. This situation is explained by the marked slowdown in the pace of capital intensity growth in Canada after 1995. This development reflected the increased cost of capital relative to labour in Canada, in turn the result of higher prices for investment goods because of the depreciation of the Canadian dollar and low wage increases due to high unemployment. With the recent appreciation of the Canadian dollar and the expected decline in unemployment, the authors project in the medium-term a narrowing of Canada's capital intensity gap with the United States and hence a reduction in the labour productivity gap.

Just how big is it that the Republican National Convention will be in Tampa next summer?
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus tried to put it in perspective while speaking to reporters on a swing through the area.
"This is a Super Bowl times four. This is probably the biggest event that the Tampa Bay community has ever put on thus far," Priebus said on Aug. 3. The line was something of an exclamation point to Priebus' visit, becoming the focus of a local TV story that aired on Fox and a dominant quote in news coverage offered by CNN, the Associated Press and the St. Petersburg Times.
But is it true?
PolitiFact Florida decided to fact-check Priebus' claim about national political conventions to see whether they are indeed four times a Super Bowl — an event Tampa is more familiar with having hosted it several times, as recently as 2009. Where to start was aided by the context Priebus provided to reporters.
"Estimates are that $175 million outside dollars will be spent here during the convention," he said. And, "There's going to be over 45,000 people here at one time. They're going to be here for over a week every day doing different things in the community: events, parties, gatherings, fundraisers. It's going to be extraordinary."
A note of caution before we go further. We're typically wary of economic impact studies because they rely on assumptions and are often attempting to predict outcomes. On top of that, they're usually paid for by groups with something to gain by presenting the data in one form or another. So, read any numbers with some skepticism.
That said, comparing the economic impact generated by a Super Bowl and a national political convention is valid and worthwhile, because you can chart the relative size and scope of one event to the other.
The Super Bowl and national political conventions are true mega-events that dramatically impact the local communities where they are held. For a few days, money and people pour in.
Some of the economic benefits are obvious. Hotel rooms are filled, and hoteliers can charge more for rooms they rent. Visitors need places to eat and shop. Some rent cars, others ride the Ybor City streetcar. They go to Busch Gardens, or maybe even the Mons Venus strip club.
Other benefits are less apparent but equally important. Money is pushed into the local economy through taxpayer subsidies or private sources to provide security. Some of that money — millions of dollars — goes to things like barricades, vehicles and riot gear. Other funds pay for the huge overtime bills police departments will bear.
"You try, to the extent possible, to focus on the new spending in a lot of instances," said Patty Silverstein, an economic researcher who estimated the impact of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. "To be honest, it can become very difficult. You have to make some very grandiose assumptions."
PricewaterhouseCoopers has been attempting to calculate the economic impact of the Super Bowl since 1998. According to its analysis, direct visitor spending has ranged from a low of around $115 million in 2004 in Detroit, to a high of $202 million in Dallas in 2011. The analysis is based on participating teams, attributes of the local market, national conditions and other factors.
Other figures, calculated either by the National Football League or the host city, often peg the impact even higher — from $300 million to $400 million, depending on the analysis. A study examining the 2009 Super Bowl in Tampa said it resulted in spending totaling $375 million.
Compare that with even Priebus' own figure that $175 million will be spent on the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
That would put the convention on par with Super Bowls according to PricewaterhouseCoopers but below a Super Bowl according to the more boosterish figures being created by the NFL and the local host committees.
Either way, not four times greater.
(A second note of caution about these dollar figures. Boosters describe the millions of dollars spent in the area as "new" money for the community. While that's a difficult figure to pinpoint, an even tougher figure to arrive at is how much money is not spent as a result of a mega-event, mainly by members of the local community who alter their spending habits. Many economists argue those losses negate much of the "new" spending, while others say that the local spending is not lost but merely reshuffled to a different time.)
Victor Matheson, an economist at the College of the Holy Cross who has studied the economic impacts of both Super Bowls and political conventions, helped us compare the two events in other ways.
More out-of-town visitors come for a Super Bowl, anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 depending on the estimate, compared with around 50,000 for a convention. But convention guests stay longer, Matheson said — about six days on average compared with about four, according to information provided by the NFL and a study from the Beacon Hill Institute.
In the end, both events produce roughly the same number of visitor nights (guests multiplied by hotel nights): 300,000.
So, not four times greater.
And, Matheson said, the spending habits of a Super Bowl visitor and a convention visitor are typically around the same, about $400 a day.
Also not four times greater.
The only measure that comes close when considering Priebus' claim is the number of event days — the Super Bowl is one night, the convention is four. But even that's misleading. Anyone in Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami or any other city to host a Super Bowl knows that the week preceding the game is filled with related events and parties.
Can Priebus claim a political convention is a "Super Bowl times four"?
"No, he can't," said Andrew Zimbalist, an economics professor at Smith College.
Added Matheson: "By any reasonable estimate the Super Bowl generates roughly the same amount of outside expenditure, so he is way off."
We see no reason to disagree. Though you can debate the overall economic impact of events like the Super Bowl or a national political convention, there's no debate about the relative size of one compared with the other. They're about the same.
We rate this claim False.

Comment List of options with necessary complexity (Score 2) 188
A proper library automation system can save considerable time on an ongoing basis and allow you to actually do what you describe with minimal overall effort.
Such a system would have NISO Z39.50 protocol client support for downloading and working with machine readable cataloguing, MARC, records well catalogued at another library for copy cataloguing to populate the records of an automated library system. Downloading records over Z39.50 directly from most libraries with Z39.50 servers, including the Library of Congress, is free and does not generally involve copyright issues as cataloguing records are almost entirely mere collections of facts prepared according to cataloguing rules.
Such a system would also have a degree of granular permissions to support automated self-checkout with a bar code scanner without also giving every user permission to erase the database. Self-checkout systems are often currently assumed to be RFID based, however, systems using a bar code scanner which are much cheaper to implement should be supported for self-checkout. The cheapest solution is to buy sheets of simple bar codes and obtain a used bar code scanner on Ebay. Using product bar codes already printed on material may have inconsistent encoding and non-unique numbers.
Check the support and possible extra price for such features in any candidate system.
1. Set Up Work.
Real work is often required for anything worth having.
Some minimal assistance from a professional librarian, who may be a member of your church or otherwise available in the community, would be invaluable help at least to start. Most library automation systems support configuration options designed for use by people who are not professional librarians but such support would not negate the great value of obtaining some minimal assistance of a professional librarian at the outset. Check the support for non-professional configuration.
The complexity of setting up such software may entail either paying a library support company to set up the software; or at least a few days of time from someone sufficiently familiar with Unix administration willing to read the documentation and seek answers on the mailing lists to set up a free software library automation system without using a professional support company. Some set up complexity might be avoided by using an implementation hosted by a library support company but that would involve a long term support contract which could be avoided with sufficient initial set up effort.
2. Lists of Library Automation Systems.
There is no single source of library automation system options which is comprehensive and up to date.
A library automation system is referred to as an integrated library system, ILS, in the US and a library management system, LMS, in many other English language countries.
2.1. Library of Congress List.
The Library of Congress maintains a list of automation systems which function with MARC records which includes some systems which are not comprehensive library automation systems, http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcsysvend.html .
2.2. Library Technology Guides List.
Library Technology Guides maintains a list of library automation system companies. Library automation companies. - http://www.librarytechnology.org/companies.pl . - In Library technology guides / maintained by Marshall Breeding. - http://www.librarytechnology.org/ .
2.3. Library Journal Guide.
Library Journal publishes an annual overview of the library automation system market. Automation Marketplace 2011 : The New Frontier / by Marshall Breeding. - In Library Journal. - April 1, 2011 - http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/home/889533-264/automation_marketplace_2011_the_new.html.csp .
2.4. Computers in Libraries Guide.
Computers in Libraries once had annual somewhat simple comparisons of library automation systems. I could only find their overview of the market for anything recent. Helping You Buy ILS / by Pamela R. Cibbarelli - http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/CILMag_ILSGuide.pdf . - In Computers in libraries. - January/February 2010 - http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/jan10/index.shtml .
They publish an annual buyer's guide. Buyer's Guide. - In Computers in Libraries. - July/August 2011 - http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/jul11/index.shtml . There is a web based directory for the buyer's guide. See Integrated Library Systems Software. - http://bg.computersinlibraries.com/search.asp?s=1&q=fieldid&fieldid=23 - In Computers in Libraries Buyer's Guide. - http://bg.computersinlibraries.com/ .
2.5. Librarian's Yellow Pages Directory.
Librarian's Yellow Pages is another place to check. Integrated Library Systems. - http://www.librariansyellowpages.com/home.aspx?arg=104&keySearch=id . - In Librarian's Yellow Pages. - http://www.librariansyellowpages.com/ .
3. Free Software Systems.
3.1. Koha.
Koha is a web based library automation system started in 2000. Koha is a fully international project with significant the largest and most diverse user base and feature set of any of the free software library automation systems. In 2010, the original Koha development community moved the community project to http://www.koha-community.org/ .
The community started using the new domain after unsuccessful efforts to resolve differences with LibLime management, the US based company which had been legally controlling the community koha.org domain from 2005, and lack of early response from PTFS which had acquired LibLime. The experience of the Koha community over the community domain and US trademark is a lesson for other free software communities to establish independent community legal control over community assets as early as possible in a project's development to avoid future problems with control by any one member of the community.
It is worth noting that the Koha community is quite large and internationally diverse and has continued to grow strongly since the great disruption caused by difficulties with LibLime management which PTFS have inherited as a business model in relation to Koha.
Koha is written in Perl with a MySQL database and Zebra indexing. While not an issue for a small church library serving European language users, work is being undertaken to integrate Solr/Lucene indexing which will better support UTF-8 indexing in some future release of Koha.
Koha is licensed under GPL 2, with an or later version invocation. [Unless otherwise resolved, the GPL 2 only license for the automated checkout code would prevent upgrading the license for any released copy of the work as a whole. The question of upgrading the license terms to GPL 3, with an or later version option; or AGPL 3, with an or later version option is stalled pending resolution of the issue over automated checkout code.]
Various Koha support companies are listed at http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/ .
3.2. Emilda.
Emilda is a web-based system from about 2000, http://www.emilda.org/ . Emilda had some support for MARC early in its development but then a subsequently much slower growth curve in features and rate of adoption than Koha or Evergreen.
Emilda was first written in Perl, like Koha and Evergreen, but was later rewritten in PHP. Emilda uses a MySQL database together with Zebra for indexing and bibliographic record storage.
Emilda is licensed under GPL 2, with an or later version invocation.
OPALS, Open-source Automated Library System, is a web based free software system from the early 2000s for which the source code is available on request but lacks an open code repository, http://opals-na.org/ . OPALS is developed and marketed exclusively by Media Flex http://mediaflex.net/ .
OPALS has a more efficient internal catalogue record editor than Koha has currently. Overall OPALS gives the impression of having a much more polished user interface. However, OPALS has many fewer features than Koha.
OPALS usage base is concentrated in school libraries.
OPALS is written in Perl with a MySQL database and Zebra indexing.
OPALS is licensed under GPL 2, with an or later version invocation.
3.4. PHPMyBibli.
PMB, PHPMyBibli, is a web based system originally created for the MediathÃque d'Agneaux in 2002. To my knowledge, PMB is developed and marketed exclusively by PMB services, http://www.pmbservices.fr/ . PMB seems to have a primarily French language community in accordance with its French origins.
PMB is written in PHP with a MySQL database.
PMB is licensed under the GPL compatible CeCILL license.
3.5. OpenBiblio.
OpenBiblio is a web based system which was first developed in 2002, http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/ . The system does not seem as complete as the other free software systems specifically listed here and I do not know much about its development history. OpenBiblio's usage base may be concentrated in Latin-American school libraries.
OpenBiblio is written in PHP with a MySQL database.
OpenBiblio is licensed under GPL 2, with an or later version invocation, and the additional permission of a waiver for section 2a.
3.6. Evergreen.
Evergreen is a web based system which was created for the public libraries in the state of Georgia in 2005, http://open-ils.org/ . To my knowledge, Evergreen is not yet old enough to attract significant support from companies other than Equinox Software, http://www.esilibrary.com/ , which is the company formed by the programmers hired by the Georgia libraries to create Evergreen.
Evergreen has in part a much more carefully developed design than Koha which was possible because of the significant budget the state of Georgia was able to allocate for the development. However, the feature set is much smaller and to my knowledge they have yet to attend to many design and user interface problems for how library systems should function. [Programmers who do not have a solid understanding of the users tasks and methodology often make mistakes when designing something for others to use and not themselves.]
Evergreen is written in Perl with a Postgres database.
Evergreen is licensed under GPL 2, with an or later version invocation.
3.7. Other Free Software Systems.
There are a few primitive systems which emerged around 2000 and did not receive much development. PHPMyLibrary is one I remember. Such systems which were created, had a little development for a couple of years, and then were mostly abandoned except perhaps at the few small libraries which adopted them. Such systems are best avoided given the better choices.
4. Proprietary Systems.
The following are proprietary systems which may be within the budget of a small church library. LibLime Enterprise Koha is likely to exceed the budget of a small church library but is included for completeness.
4.1. CyberTools for Libraries.
CyberTools for Libraries is a web based library automation system which was first introduced in 2000, http://www.cybertoolsforlibraries.com/ . I am not certain of their pricing.
4.2. Library World.
Library World is a relatively new web based library automation system which is probably the cheapest proprietary library automation system, http://www.libraryworld.com/ .
4.3. LibLime Enterprise Koha.
In 2009, LibLime announced LibLime Enterprise Koha, LLEK, which is based on code developed in the previous year and which had previously be announced would be contributed to the main community branch, http://wwww.liblime.com/ . The software is a web hosted service for which they do not distribute the current source code to users. The stated policy of PTFS/LibLime is to release code for old versions periodically but not the code for the version which the users are currently actually use.
Like Koha, LLEK is written in Perl with a MySQL database and Zebra indexing.
Any released source code would necessarily be under GPL 2, which has historically had an or later version invocation, the license terms for Koha. [Unless otherwise resolved, the GPL 2 only license for the automated checkout code would prevent upgrading the license for any released copy of the work as a whole.]

Wonderful close up! I sure hope my skin doesn't look like that in a few years LOL
I think Elephant's eyes are the most expressive, I hope Tammy remembers that Pachyderm means too much skin. Gajah Yang Bagus.
Love the nice tight crop (in camera or after, no difference). It makes this picture unusual and compelling!
Wow! fabulous detail, the eyes are indeed amazing. I'm so glad you've been able to post shots that can be enlarged.
Great close-up. The crop is perfect. Great detail, also.
Very nice close up!!
What sweet eyes!
Fabulous closeup!! Looks like he/she was just waiting for you!!

Alan Oxley, A former GATT representative has something to say about Mr. Kerry and his trade policy (Thanks Instapundit)
John Kerry has made a big deal about the Bush Administration playing solo in international affairs and offending other countries. He is of course referring to Iraq, where the only countries really offended are France and Germany. Yet John Kerry has a trade policy that sets a solo strategy for the US. It won't be France and Germany who will be offended, just most of the rest of the world. In the process he will damage American national economic interests and the interests of poor countries..... more here.

4.32 / 5.00 6,101 ViewsWARNING! Contains Homosexual themes involving anime characters.
I think my preloader doesn't work, so make sure the browser is fully loaded please!
"Yaoi" is gay sex between two men. Lovely, eh?
Enticing little animation =)
Very nice yet-new take on a familiar subject. It got my attention even though I'm not into yaoi. Great job!
*dies laughing*
Hahaha-...shit. It's funny...because it's true.
I was reminded of myself far too much for comfort...
P.s.: The two in 'violence' is simply because I'm certain bodily harm comes from being chased by an eight foot penis. (Well. Four foot if you take in the cihibi factor.)
adorible but short and a tad random;p
the question we all need to ask is why vegeta never jumped goku. i mean if we silly yaoi freaks^-^ can put sasuke with itachi, lord knows the competitve drive must have also carried over to the the sport of the sheets;p very cute ending with the horse. reminds me of the card where you think its a woman's behind and then its the crease in the hand. lol now im just rambaling and that's what happens when i enjoy a flash^-^ btw i love all of your work. its nice when someone can go from serious to funny and still have the same quality:) only issue i had was that the sound wasn't so great but that could have been a style thing so it only minorly affected my grading.
yaoi is so cool, I loved it! you should make more
Man, if you make another one, I would have more gravitation, some mirage of blaze....maybe some more MURAKI!!!! I loved your creativity and I always bust out laughing when I see your "I'm so crazy, I'm like NNNAAAAHHH crazy....swinging arms of DOOM. LOL.

Umm. Its half way through January now. When are we going to hear any news about the January update? There has been next to no communication about anything specific since Christmas.
Hello everyone.
Since there is already a thread going on about these issues, where more people are posting their opinions, we will close this one and encourage you to keep on your discussions here (the one Karizee just mentioned).

Steve Kovach, Business Insider
Following rumors that Samsung's new Galaxy S III won't be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month, the company has confirmed it is definitely delaying the announcement.
In a statement to The Verge Samsung says:
The successor to the Galaxy S II smartphone will be unveiled at a separate Samsung-hosted event in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product.
While that may be disappointing news for Android lovers, we think it makes sense. Samsung introduced the current Galaxy S II at MWC last year, but it didn't launch in the U.S. for another several months.
We've heard that Samsung has a tentative event planned in NYC some time in the next few months, so it's possible we'll hear about the Galaxy S III then.
While you wait, click here for all the iPad 3 rumors we know about so far >
