SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Struggling to explain to voters where their money goes while Illinois continues to face financial hardship, legislative leaders kicked off their fall session Tuesday with a plan to divulge the corporations that don't pay any income tax.
Senate President John Cullerton and House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie say their proposal would help lawmakers determine whether tax credits designed to create jobs are working or worthless in a state where they estimate two-thirds of businesses pay no corporate income tax.
But business leaders immediately condemned the plan, saying it unfairly targets confidential information of a few companies and would add to the burden of conducting commerce in Illinois.
The plan by Cullerton and Currie, both Chicago Democrats, would require publicly traded corporations to publicize more than a dozen points of data relating to their tax liability — a liability that is often softened by credits and incentives created by the Legislature. Companies would not have to report on a given tax year until two years later, a hedge against competitive disadvantages, the lawmakers said.
"Let's find out what's happening in the real world so that the policies that we create have some relevance and have some justice and some fairness about them," Currie said to a roomful of community activists in the state Capitol.
The proposal opened the General Assembly's six-day fall session, a year after a backlash for tax breaks it approved in an economic downturn which kept Sears Holding Corp. and companies that operate Chicago financial exchanges from leaving the state.
The budget picture hasn't improved. Lawmakers face spending shortfalls in several state agencies that handle social-service programs such as child protection. A House measure arose Tuesday to revive an idea previously championed by Gov. Pat Quinn to borrow money and pay down some of the $9 billion in overdue bills. And the Senate is looking at a vote Wednesday to override Democrat Quinn's veto of spending to keep several prisons and other state facilities open.
Cullerton said the tax-disclosure measure would help legislators educate taxpayers on where their money goes and how much comes from business taxes.
"More importantly, we would find out how much corporations don't pay," Cullerton said. "That is really the mystery that we're trying to solve."
A national study released earlier this year listed Illinois as among two-dozen states that do little if any evaluation of business tax credits. Illinois offered $273 million in tax breaks in 2010, up from $64 million four years earlier.
Mark Denzler, vice president of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, doesn't believe the plan is truly designed to provide more information for deciding tax policy. He said the state Revenue Department knows how much it collects from each company and how much various tax deals cost.
The plan would further burden businesses, force them to provide out-of-context numbers, and open doors to competitors in gaining an edge, according to Todd Maisch of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
"Not only will you have to put all this sensitive information out there, where in almost every other state it's completely private, but now they're going to have to call a press conference to try and explain it," Maisch said.
A House plan for the state to borrow $4 billion to take a chunk out of its backlog of overdue bills was delayed Tuesday when the measure's Democratic sponsor said she was still finalizing it. But that didn't keep Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka from telling the House Executive Committee that it's a bad idea to pay down debt with more debt.
Quinn supported a similar idea a year ago but failed to win approval.
Cullerton was poised for a Senate floor vote Wednesday to override Quinn's budget cuts, including $56 million lawmakers provided to keep open prisons and other state operations the governor says are unaffordable.
An override wouldn't force the governor to keep facilities open but would keep him from spending it in other areas, such as for child-protection programs in the Department of Children and Family Services.
Another House committee agreed to schedule a special election April 9 to fill Jesse Jackson Jr.'s congressional seat. Jackson, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, resigned last week to focus on his health.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Brian Kelly folded his arms across his chest and shook his head in disgust at a promising Notre Dame drive that stalled out in the red zone.
His young quarterback, Everett Golson, had just planted a third-down throw in the grass a few feet too far away for second-team All-American Tyler Eifert to dive and catch it on the 13th play of a series that had lasted nearly seven minutes.
All that work would end up with no payoff when Kyle Brindza missed wide left on a 35-yard field goal attempt, but it could pay dividends down the road when it comes to Golson's growth.
As his quarterback came to the sideline, Kelly put one arm on either side of Golson's waist and drove home a point: When you have a talented 6-foot-5 tight end, put the ball up high where he has an advantage on defenders, not down on the ground.
"Every single play, there's something out there that needs to be communicated and it's very important that I got it across to him because later it ended up being a big play for us," Kelly said, referring to a pass Golson delivered high for a leaping 22-yard catch on the next drive by 6-foot-2 DaVaris Daniels.
"When you're dealing with a young quarterback, you have to take those moments. I can't control that kick at that point, so it was important that I got my point across at that time and not wait."
Golson, who because of injury or ineffective play was unable to complete three games in the first half of the season, is starting to show signs of maturing into the type of leader the Fighting Irish (8-0) will need to stay in the national championship picture for the final month of the season.
Following a 30-13 win at then-No. 8 Oklahoma, the Irish moved up to No. 4 in The Associated Press poll on Sunday. They return home to face Pittsburgh (4-4) next Saturday.
Before Saturday night, much of Notre Dame's ascent had been built around a three-headed power running attack and the nation's second-stingiest defense, led by Heisman Trophy hopeful Manti Te'o at linebacker. But against the Sooners, Kelly said it was "the first time that we showed that we could be on our own a little bit offensively and put some points on the board."
"If we continue to go that way, it's going to give us an offense that's going to be difficult to defend because we'll have great balance," Kelly said Sunday. "That's what we're trying to get with Everett in there: Not an offense that throws it 50 times nor an offense that runs it 50 times, one that's balanced and difficult to defend."
That's exactly what the Irish got in their most difficult test of the season so far, while stuffing Oklahoma's run game and turning the Sooners -- who were fifth in the nation in scoring -- into a one-dimensional attack that could only complete short passes.
The Irish held a 215-15 advantage on the ground, with Golson contributing 64 yards rushing to go with his 177 through the air.
After missing the previous week's win against BYU because of a concussion, Golson said he got a different perspective from the sideline and came back with changes in mind. Chief among them: "Just the relationship with the other players, the other 10 guys on the offense," Golson said. "I definitely just wanted to improve in that."
"It had a tremendous effect, just seeing it outside of me actually being out there really helped me," Golson added. "Just kind of seeing it from the sideline perspective. It made me realize a couple things that we needed to work on."

What Is the Best Way to Lose Weight
Confused about the best way to lose weight? Of course you are. It's bad enough that reaching and maintaining your ideal weight can be a challenge, but why does it have to be so confusing?
So what is the best way to lose weight?
Some say low fat, high carb. Some say low carb, high fat. Some say you should count calories. Others tell you counting calories means you're obsessive. Some say the best way to lose weight is to eat only healthy foods, while others tell you to eat whatever you feel like eating.
And many say "diets" don't work at all. But of course that's ridiculous!
Proven Best Way to Lose Weight
Diet is what you eat and human beings have to eat to live. So everyone's on some kind of a diet. Whether it's a good healthy diet or a junk food diet, you're on a diet!
And your diet either keeps you slim, healthy and looking good or not.
When people say, "diets don't work," they mean temporary or fast weight loss diets. And then it's true. Temporary diets only give temporary results. They don't work in the long run.
The best way to clear up any confusion is to listen to those from the National Weight Control Registry who've lost 30 pounds or more and kept it off for at least three years. Here are the seven essential guidelines proven to be the best way to lose weight.
1. Make permanent changes. Healthy permanent weight loss requires healthy permanent lifestyle changes. Most of those who lose weight regain it only because they go back to their old eating and lifestyle habits. Begin your program with a commitment to a healthy new life
2. Eat low calorie high fiber foods. People successful at weight loss limit calories and portion sizes. And they often begin by using a calorie chart and keeping a simple food journal with calorie counts. They drink plenty of calorie free water, eat simple lean, high protein foods with fewer calories per bite and focus on filling high fiber foods, such as vegetables.
3. Be more physically active. Besides burning calories, exercise removes toxins, improves metabolism, builds lean muscle and helps you to look and feel your absolute best. So discover the benefits of walking, climb more stairs and do other things that pump up the activity.
4. Put scales in their place. While you're losing, avoid weighing yourself. Focus on developing new habits and counting calories not pounds. Once you reach your goal, get the scales out and weigh yourself about once a week to make sure you stay within 5 pounds of your target.
5. Plan ahead and pay attention. A good rule of thumb is don't leave home without a bag of raw veggies and some lean protein foods. Whenever possible steer clear of buffet tables and fancy affairs. If you have to be around tempting foods, prepare yourself beforehand.
6. Take it slow and steady. I know you want to lose weight fast. But, when it comes to losing, going fast is a speed trap that keeps you from winning. Remember the tortoise and the hare? Slow and steady wins the race. Your body needs time to adjust to each and every pound lost.
7. Change your mind to change your body. Most people use food for entertainment or avoidance. You have to reprogram your mind to behave differently than the masses. Sweet, salty and rich fatty foods are addictive. The simpler and healthier your diet, the less you'll need to overeat. Instead of food indulgences, find healthy ways to amuse yourself.

Sunday will mark 75 years since Batman first appeared in "Detective Comics" No. 27, and if you thought DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. were going to let that go unmarked, then you're crazy enough for Arkham Asylum.
Today marks the beginning of brawling billionaire Bruce Wayne's yearlong diamond jubilee, with the launch of the anniversary celebration's online hub, www.Batman75.com, and the release of a commemorative logo that will feature on many DC comics and Warner Bros. products. And, Gothamites, July 23 is Batman Day: There will be celebrations at comic shops, bookstores and libraries, complete with a free Caped Crusader comic special to the occasion.
The months ahead also bring the "Batman Eternal" weekly comics series, the first-ever home video release of the '60s "Batman" television series starring Adam West, convention events, a 25th anniversary edition DVD of Tim Burton's Oscar-winning 1989 "Batman" film, new animated releases and more. There are also more screen takes on the Dark Knight's legend in the works: the pilot episode for the live-action "Gotham" is in production for Fox, and Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" sequel, starring Ben Affleck as Batman alongside Henry Cavill's Superman, is to begin filming for a 2016 release.
"Batman is one of the greatest characters ever created, in comics or elsewhere, and even after 75 years he continues to wildly fascinate fans," Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment and president and chief content officer, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, said in a statement. "He is an integral part of pop culture and has successfully captured the imagination of the entire world. The origin of Batman, Bruce Wayne and the famous citizens of Gotham are legendary and likely a story you know inside out, even if you've never picked up a comic book in your life, and that speaks volumes to the character's immense popularity and the constructs of the original mythology."
Since that March 30, 1939, newsstand debut in a story with art by Bob Kane, the character's credited creator, and a script by Bill Finger, who made essential contributions to Batman's mythos, the tragic-orphan-turned-triumphant-vigilante has starred in countless comics by renowned talents including Frank Miller, Grant Morrison, Jim Lee, Neal Adams, Jerry Robinson, Gardner Fox, Carmine Infantino, Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman. He's fought the criminal element on screen in 1940s serials, through adaptations including the kitschy '60s TV show; Burton's distinctively dark big-screen visions; the Emmy-winning, noir-inspired '90s "Batman: The Animated Series"; Christopher Nolan's recent billions-grossing, Oscar-winning blockbuster "Dark Knight" trilogy — even February's "The Lego Movie." And gamers have made the widely hailed series of video games that began with 2009's "Batman: Arkham Asylum" into multimillion sellers.
Batman's allies and nemeses have become icons too. Is there a sidekick more renowned than Robin? A butler more beloved than Alfred? A police commissioner more respected than James Gordon? A love interest more formidable than Catwoman? A villain more unpredictable than the Joker?
DC got the 75th anniversary party started early with a new "Detective Comics" No. 27 in January, and on April 9 will launch the first issue of "Batman Eternal," a weekly series with bestselling "Batman" writer Scott Snyder as its "show runner." The Eisner Award-winning comics creator, whose ongoing new-take origin story "Zero Year" with artist Greg Capullo for DC's New 52 has been rife with nods to the hero's rich history — including having him don purple gloves like in the Kane days — has promised a bold approach for Batman's future.
"As incredible as Batman's history is, I feel like his future, the things planned for the next coming years, are so exciting and really aim to revamp and do new and exciting things with his mythology in a way that I think will bring him to a new generation of readers," Snyder told Hero Complex in an earlier interview.
April also brings WonderCon in Anaheim, where Bruce Timm, a producer and key force on "Batman: The Animated Series" and a director of the 1993 animated feature "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm," will show a new animated short he created for Warner Bros. Animation for the hero's big year. Timm will be on an April 19 panel at the convention celebrating the 75th anniversary, and a second short, produced by Darwyn Cooke, will also premiere.
The new animated film "Son of Batman," based on a comics story by Morrison and artist Andy Kubert, will be released on home video May 6, with "Assault on Arkham" following in the summer.
For Comic-Con International, July 24-27 in San Diego, there will be an art exhibition, "Cape/Cowl/Create," featuring contemporary artists' takes on Batman using a cape and cowl by fashion designer Asher Levine based on the upcoming video game "Batman: Arkham Knight." DC is also planning convention-exclusive variant covers for Bat-comics.
But for all the screen and interactive versions and merchandise, the heartiest celebration — and most important steps into Bruce Wayne's next 75 years — may be in the pages of the comics.
"Our goal is to bring you the best Batman we can for the 75th anniversary," Snyder earlier told Hero Complex. "If you think we're not going to try to bring you the biggest stories in that year and the biggest changes to Gotham and the biggest instances of Batman being as badass as he can possibly be, then you don't know us. … It's going to be a very good year for Batman. I promise."
It's all enough to make one want to order a nice, fresh orange juice and do the Batusi. Or the Batdance.

Intel shows off working quad-core mobile CPU
'Penryn' part, due this time next year
Posted in Personal Tech, 15th October 2007 09:54 GMT
Intel has demo'd the 45nm quad-core mobile processor it's planning to release next year. The chip maker claimed it was on track to bring the part to market in H2 2008 - in Q3, to be precise, though that's not a timeframe Intel has yet made public.
The prototype chip - said to have rolled out of one of the chip giant's fabs mere days ago - contains 840m transistors and is based on Intel's upcoming 45nm 'Penryn' microarchitecture. The transistor count points to an on-board L2 cache extending to 12MB in two 6MB units shared between each core pair.
It's expected to operate over a 1066MHz frontside bus, clearly marking its ability to work with the components of next May's 'Montevina' Centrino update. That said, the quad-core chip isn't expected to be part of the Centrino refresh, thanks to its higher operating temperatures.
The quad-core chip, which will almost certainly ship as a Core 2 Extreme family member, consumes 45W - 10W more than mainstream mobile Core 2 Duos' 35W power envelope but within reach of the kind of cooling technologies available to today's developers of high-end, desktop-replacement gaming notebooks.

My 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX, equipped with a 4.6L OHC "Modular" V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and a healthy dose of torque built on the MN12 platform.
I have owned "Lightning" for about 2 years now as both my main project car and previously as my daily driver.
Even with some of the issues she had due on one part to poor previous ownership and on another to the harsh climate here. I really love this car for a lot of reasons and I find it impossible to let it go.
I just recently got her off the road to begin the resurrection project after I found another daily driver (1999 Ford Escort SE). One of the biggest parts of this challenge is not working on her though, it is actually demolishing the old garage and building a proper one in it's place, so that I can actually work on the project properly and safely.
I will post the to-do list of everything I am doing to Lightning on here eventually.
To-Do List For 2011-2013:
Everything, seriously..
I got this car because it was sporty looking, it was bright red, and it was CHEAP! When I bought this car, I was impressed by how rare it was... Then I found out WHY it was so rare! This car looked like it was in good shape, but that's only because it had an okay repaint over some real nasty rust repair. The interior was in good condition, but I could never get comfortable in that seat. It had no support any place it was needed. Then there's the little matter of performance - or what passed for performance. Some people swear by the Ford 2,3 Turbo, but I just swore AT mine! It leaked/burned oil at about a quart every 350 miles. At least there weren't many mosquitoes in the area after I drove past!
- MN12 Platform
- 4.6L OHC "Modular" V8 (281ci.)
- 205 hp @ 4,500rpm, 265 lb·ft @ 3,200rpm

- 113" - Wheelbase
- 3,725lb Curb Weight
Mileage: 132,000 km's
It did 0-60 in an honest 11 seconds, and the quarter mile in roughly 18. I never had the courage to check out it's top speed, because it shook like a wet dog at anything over about 90.

Panoramic Views of Private Pier and Secluded Beach
The Springmaid Pier is one of Myrtle Beach's longest piers. Stretching more than 1,000 feet into the Atlantic, it has a tackle shop that rents out fishing gear and a nearby café. It also handily portions off a quarter-mile stretch of beach from the crowds farther north. The pier is private, and guests of Springmaid Beach Resort enjoy full access for free. Guests can enjoy a family outing to the 18-hole mini golf course located on the premises. This in addition to the ocean-view rooms and a convenient location next to Myrtle Beach State Park also helped the family-friendly Springmaid Beach Resort earn a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor in 2013.
Three towers stand on the resort's 27-acre property, which underwent a six-month renovation that gave its guest rooms and landscapes a fresh new look. Each guest room has a balcony that faces the ocean. Guests in the Live Oak and Palmetto buildings have easy access to the heated indoor pool and outdoor lazy river. For breakfast, head to Marlin's Buffet, an onsite restaurant with pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and other Lowcountry favorites.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: Sandy Beaches, Seaside Golf Courses, and Classic Amusement-Park Rides
Myrtle Beach is the crown jewel of South Carolina's Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of white, sandy beaches along the Atlantic seaboard that draws surfers, fishers, and kayakers. The city was named one of the best vacation spots in the United States for a family by USA Today, in part because of its wooden boardwalk, which stretches for more than a mile and buzzes with carnival games and amusement-park rides. Hop into the SkyWheel Ferris wheel's glass-floored gondolas, surrounded by more than a million LED lights, for a panoramic view of the city below.
Less than 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, the tiny fishing village of Murrells Inlet provides a tranquil contrast to the boardwalk's hustle and bustle. At Brookgreen Gardens, more than 1,400 original sculptures stand amid sprawling floral gardens and massive, moss-covered oak trees that have been around for centuries. Murrells Inlet is also home to the Tom Fazio–designed TPC Myrtle Beach golf course, one of more than 100 courses in the area that helped Myrtle Beach earn its title as the seaside golf capital of the world.

An early end to their European commitments means Manchester City can give their undivided attention to reining in Premier League leaders Manchester United by making the most of their neighbours' shaky defence in Sunday's mouth-watering derby.
"Clearly this (European exit) can help us win the Premier League because we don't play in the Europa League but we tried to play in it and that was our tactic tonight," City boss Roberto Mancini said after Tuesday's loss at Borussia Dortmund.
Already looking like a potential title-decider, the meeting at the Etihad Stadium comes in a week when Premier League champions City finished bottom of their Champions League group and missed out on even second-tier Europa League football.
Without European distractions, Mancini's squad, who remain the league's only unbeaten side, can focus on what most Blues fans believe is more important than continental glory - defeating United and beating them to the title once more.
Despite having lost three games, United hold a three-point lead over City with 36 points from 15 matches and the Manchester duo have been so dominant that they have pulled clear of Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion (all on 26).
United manager Alex Ferguson's main concern ahead of this season's first meeting with his cross-town rivals is his side's recent habit of producing comical and sloppy defending.
The Red Devils have conceded 32 goals in all competitions, making it their worst record at this stage of the year in more than a decade and also of particular concern having lost the title last year on goal difference.
Having leaked goals against City at Old Trafford last term in a 6-1 defeat and having also lost 1-0 at the Etihad to tilt the title race in their neighbours' favour, United are very aware how important it is to tighten things up for this fixture.
Ferguson was livid following last weekend's trip to Reading and likened his side's defensive performance in the 4-3 win to popular Scottish TV children's programme 'Cartoon Cavalcade'.
"We're getting punished for every ball that goes in the box at the moment but, saying that, we should still be defending far better," Ferguson told reporters.
"It is a worry. If we perform like that on Sunday, God knows what is going to happen to us."
Defender Nemanja Vidic, sidelined since September after undergoing knee surgery, is close to full fitness but Ferguson said he would not be considered for the derby.
However, Japan international Shinji Kagawa could make the bench to lift United whose second-string lost 1-0 at home to Cluj in the Champions League on Wednesday.
City's creative spark David Silva was not included for the trip to Germany, where City lost 1-0 to Dortmund, and could miss Sunday's game as he struggles with a hamstring injury, while Yaya Toure was serving a European suspension.
A midweek call-up saw centre back Joleon Lescott join City's three-man defence alongside Vincent Kompany and Mancini will be hoping their partnership can quell the threat of the league's joint top scorer Robin van Persie, who has 10 goals.
Elsewhere, Swansea City striker Miguel Michu, another of the top scorers, can continue his sparkling run of form when Michael Laudrup's side welcome Norwich City to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
Harry Redknapp's relegation scrap at the helm of Queens Park Rangers continues when the Premier League's bottom side travel to Wigan Athletic, who are eight points clear of Rangers in 16th.
Southampton, in 18th, host 19th-placed Reading, with the Saints knowing a victory could move them out of the relegation zone should Sunderland draw or lose against Chelsea.
Rafael Benitez at least secured his first win as interim Chelsea manager against Nordsjaelland in the Champions League as the holders exited the competition, while a defeat for Black Cats boss Martin O'Neill would pile further pressure on him.
Aston Villa welcome Stoke City on Saturday, while a well-rested Arsenal have the chance to close the gap on high-flying West Bromwich Albion, who are five points clear of the Gunners ahead of their trip to the Emirates.
Sunday's other matches feature Everton hosting Tottenham and West Ham United welcoming Liverpool. Fulham take on Newcastle United on Monday.

I've often harped on Apple for its policy regarding jailbreaking, but of course, Apple isn't the only company engaging in such practices. We already talked about Motorola, and now, we have Sony - already a company with a checkered past when it comes to consumer rights. As it turns out, Sony don't want you jailbreaking

Any and all apps built with Sony's SDK are unlicensed and therefore a copyright violation. It'd be like running a proprietary app linked against a GPL licensed library: not legal.
Uh, the GPL places no restrictions on use. What you say is perfectly legal. In fact, it happens on almost every Linux installation: graphics drivers.

I have used it before when it was just launched and didnt notice much from it, don't know why but was very dissapointed back then because I bought 3 bottles pure on how it was being hyped before release for quite some money (hence I became a "hater").
This time though I lost 1 inch on my waist, lost no weight and gained some strength in 1 month, very nice, happy times
I dosed recreate at 4 caps a day and anabolic pump at 1 cap a day before lunch, which was sorta my only meal of the day with a high enough carb content (50 grams). Because of this I'm assuming most results coming from the recreate. I bought another bottle on sale for 37.95 which I think is still kind of a high price for a 22 day supply, but well it seems to deliver for now. I would not buy it at $49.95.
Bulk 1-carboxy powder:
I am absolutely loving this ****! Bought it at $12 for 100 grams, which went into 130 "00" sized caps so ~770mg a cap. Taking 2 caps upon waking, 2 pre-workout (at lunch on non wo days), 2 pre bed, so it's 22 day supply which makes the $12 a bargain (bought couple of 100 grams more just now )!!
My sleep has fastly improved, workout agression/endurance are up, I noticed improved complexion/skin tone within 2 days and libido is up. A winner right here
Bulk Pslin powder:
Have not taken this too many times yet, only on a refeed meal here and there. Tried it on a larger carb meal pre workout, thought I noticed some additional vascularity but I might have had that on big carbs pre wo anyway. No real additional pump. However, not enought carbs after taking this and it's lights out lol, even worse then on AP. Might try it as a sleep aid if I have trouble falling asleep Not very usefull on a cut anyway, going to try it on a bulk someday in the future and report back. This **** aint cheap btw, even in bulk.
Got it for free with the last sale. Damn this stuff is the bomb. I feel very awake and clearheaded on this stuff. Increase in workout performance is downright amazing, have to force myself to stop If I take it closer then 12 hours before sleep, I'm not sleeping lol. All this on only 1 cap a day, damn
I was considering trying Prime, but really guys on sale for $55 from $80 a bottle for a 20 day supply, with some suggestions trying 9 caps a day making it a 13 day supply, while the ad says: "For most, by the end of Week 3 is when USPLabs Prime REALLY begins to impart its force upon your body." So you kinda have to buy 2 bottles anyway.. I would be so pissed shelling out that kind of cash and not getting results I'm not even going to try at all...

IMO no need to hate a company just for playing the game. It's our job to read through logs, understand who is making what testimonials and their tendancies on the boards (not based on how many green reps they have), and make purchasing decisions based on your own research. Now that you've developed hype radar, you'll probably lose the animosity for advertising and let it pass by without affecting you.
Nice reviews.

Nov. 26, 2002
Overall Record: 18-2-1
Bursting Onto The Scene
In what College Soccer News labeled as "what just might be the best first round match-up of the tourney," UCSB downed the University San Diego 2-0 in front of over 3,400 fans. The Gauchos made their NCAA College Cup debut in outstanding fashion, posting their fourth consecutive and 10th overall shutout of the season behind a steller performance by sophomore keeper Danny Kennedy who had seven saves in the match. Forward Rob Friend and midfielder David McGill got Santa Barbara on the board in the game's sixth minute with what proved to be the game-winner. Matt Bly provided the insurance goal, finishing off a Brandon Meeks pass in the 88th minute to make the score 2-0 Gauchos and move Santa Barbara into the second round. The UCSB defense held WCC Player of the Year Ryan Coiner to just one shot on the night, giving up 11 shots to the Toreros as a team.
On A Roll
Santa Barbara has put together a seven-game win streak since its loss to then top-ranked Indiana, coming within one win of matching its eight game win streak to start the season. In the last seven games, the Gauchos have tallied 23 goals while giving up just three to the opposition thanks to a current streak of four consecutive shutouts, and a total of five blankings in the last seven games. UCSB has not allowed a goal in the its last 392:22 minutes, scoring 14 unanswered goals heading into the second round of the tournament. This week's College Soccer News goalkeeper of the week, Kennedy has been perfect allowing no goals in his last 335:22 minutes of play. Drew McAthy and Rob Friend have led the offensive attack the last seven matches, netting six goals apiece. Friend now has goals in each of the last four games. David McGill has done the most damage in the midfield, assisting on eight goals during the current win streak. Memo Arzate is second on the team with six assists in the last seven games. But don't be fooled. Eight different Gauchos have found the back of the net during this span, five of whom (McAthy, Friend, Arzate, Matt Bly and Gene Deering) have done so on more than one occasion. Of the seven games, McAthy, a first team all-conference selection, has scored the game-winner in four.
Perfection What can be said about UCSB's defense in its last four matches other than perfection. Led by team captain and All-Big West First Teamer Dan Young in the middle, the Gauchos have now posted four consecutive shutouts, having not allowed a goal in their last 392:22 minutes of play. Accompanying Young and Kennedy are defenders Alan Keely, Tony Lochhead and Jon Apilado, and midfielders Darren Doi and Nate Boyden, who have put up an almost impermiable wall around the UCSB penalty box. Over the course of the last four matches Santa Barbara has allowed the opposition just 41 shots on goal and average of 10.3 per game. The Gaucho offense on the other hand has averaged 16 shots per game in the last four matches for a total of 64. And not to be left out of the mix is freshman goalkeeper Kyle Reynish who combined with Kennedy on the first two shutouts, making four saves in 57 minutes of play. Kennedy now has six shutouts this season, running his career total to 13 to put him fifth all-time at UCSB and seventh all-time in Big West Conference history.
Nine Gauchos Named All-Big West
It was no surprise when the Big West All-Conference Teams were announced that the Gauchos would comprise a large portion of the selections, but to have nine of the starting 11 recognized was a surprise. Senior forward Rob Friend was selected as the conference's Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, earning first team honors for the second time. Freshman defender Alan Keely was named to the first team as well, garnering the Big West's Freshman of the Year award. Joining Friend and Keely on the first team were Drew McAthy, Memo Arzate and Dan Young. Santa Barbara's Second Team All-Big West selection's were Tony Lochhead, David McGill and Danny Kennedy, while Matt Kubota was an honorable mention.
Goods On The Golden Bears
This is the ninth overall appearance for the Bears in the NCAA Tournament and their second consecutive berth. Cal enters Wednesday's matchup 0-8 in the postseason, looking for their first ever NCAA Tournament victory. The Bears were one of 16 teams to receive a first round bye and one of four Pac-10 squads to make the 48-team tournament. Senior goalkeeper Josh Saunders was named the 2002 Pac-10 Player of the Year after leading the Pac-10 in shutouts (10) and is ranked 14th in the NCAA and third in the conference in goals against average. Nine Bears were named to the Pac-10 All-Conference team. Head Coach Kevin Grimes was named Pac-10 Co-Coach of the Year. Eight of Cal's games this season have been against Top 20 teams, compiling a 5-2-1 mark against those foes. The Bears have outscored its ranked opponents 12 goals to five.
Best In History
It is safe to say that the 2002 UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team is if not the best, one of the best teams in school history, winning its second consecutive Big West Conference title and making the NCAA tournament for the first time in the 37-year history of the program. This year's team set numerous school records, starting with their 17 regular season wins. Santa Barbara's offensive onslaught, which has been one of the NCAA's top-10 all season, also set the UCSB record with 66 goals, surpassing the previous mark by 13. Currently the fourth-highest scoring team in the nation averaging 3.14 goals per game, UCSB boasts some impressive defensive numbers as well, ranking 17th in the nation with a 0.48% shutout percentage. Going undefeated in conference with a 9-0-1 record, the Gauchos led the Big West in every statistical catagory except saves at the conclusion of the regular season.
Winner To Face UCLA Or LMU
Depending on what happens in Westwood on Wednesday, the winner of UCSB's second round match with Cal will go on to face either UCLA or Loyola Marymount in the round of 16. If Santa Barbara defeats Cal there is a probability that they could host a third round NCAA College Cup game. Since UCLA is a seeded team they will automatically host if they win, if LMU wins there is a likelihood that Harder Stadium will once again host an NCAA game.

The infamous "Ponzi scheme" shot to prominence in December 2008 with the arrest of stock broker Bernie Madoff, flushed out by the banking crisis, who was shown to have caused losses of at least 10 billion dollars to investors. Over a period of 17 years, Madoff had not invested any of the funds entrusted to him, but merely placed them all directly into his personal bank account. Corrected for inflation, this haul was roughly 100-fold greater than the amount Charles Ponzi had amassed before his arrest in 1920. Ponzi made almost 10 million dollars within 7 months, based on his eponymous investment
scam scheme. Ponzi offered 50% return on investment — within 45 days — but paid off the lucky few early investors with the cash of suckers buying in later, and he made no real investments himself. The dupes who naïvely invest with a Ponzi operator are pawns, easily manipulated peons who can be sacrificed to a greater purpose.
These big name preachers who expect money tithes are at the top of a pawnsy scheme even if they are well meaning
What is a pawnsie scheme?
Response: A pawnsy scheme is a general scam where people try to get you to invest in something negative. Enjoy your day.
For a church that encompasses such a large breadth and depth of the human spectrum and social life, we have perhaps done a very poor job of reminding the world at large not to take us for granted, not to treat us as an evil, lurking, corporate pawnsy scheme.
It is a pawnsy scheme, flat out, and easily the worst $300.00 I ever spent.
No, the Federal Reserve owns the banks (hence FDIC) as well as the debt currency that we use everyday. The Federal government has pulled the biggest pawnsy scheme in history because of the Federal Reserve.
United States citizens who provide skilled and unskilled labor should not be slaves to this pawnsy scheme.
Bill Casselman has a far-ranging, in depth look at all things etymological associated with the Ponzi scheme, including the connection of the Ponzi name to .
An eggsciting eggsample of an eggcellent eggcorn.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Nice find! I think your justification for the substitution works, but when I saw the header for your post I was thought you might argue that ponzi schemes are like pawnshops—you often hand something over in the hope that you'll get it back eventually.
I like the "pawnsie" spelling best – something patsy-looking about it?
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
The pawnshop and patsy connections are great. "Patsy scheme" must be behind the strange pansy scheme hits out there; it's a blend. Two first person accounts are presented below. The last link is long, but presents an interesting look at someone casting about for an explanation for Ponzi scheme within days of Madoff's arrest.
I could be wrong, but I suspect our banking system has become like a patsy scheme, covering up the missing money with housing loans. [...] It is a make believe world of money changing hands. Unpaid loans and interest rates being like forged paper money, boosting our gross national product. How is this not a patsy scheme? If the rest of the world stops buying into our patsy scheme, we are in serious trouble.
Response:Is a ' Patsy Scheme ' an economic term ?
Reply: You are right, I goofed. The term word I meant to use is "Ponzi scheme". However, my spell check doesn't like that word, and it does not seem to be in my dictionary. Patsy means someone easily imposed upon and is in my dictionary, and comes close to the meaning of a Ponzi scheme.
Politics forum
Ponzi scheme; it's not a term you hear very often, right? Well at least it wasn't a word I recall hearing before, so, I had to do some research to find out what it meant. To show my ignorance (which I'm not boasting about mind you), when I first heard the term used in connection with this Madoff mess, I thought the reporter said it was a Potsie scheme. I couldn't get the connection with this Wall Street business man and a character from the television show Happy Days named "Potsie" Weber. I used to enjoy watching Happy Days and remember Potsie being somewhat of a naïve character, not the brightest bulb on the block, but definitely one with a strong sense of moral values. None of this was making any sense. Then I wondered if I heard the word incorrectly and he was actually saying patsy scheme. Oh, man I was lost! The term "Ponzi" scheme that reporters were tossing out left and right at will, like it was there first name, had me wondering what in the world it meant. I knew there was only one place to turn to and thankfully there is an information highway at my fingertips, or I'd still be scratching my noggin.
Well I have to offer my gratitude to the all knowing Google gods for leading me to a clearer understanding of what this illegal activity known as a Ponzi scheme actually means. Of course I wasn't much help to the investigation by incorrectly typing in the term pawnsy. That threw me off course, as there were only about 60 odd entries, until I looked at one of the links which stated "did you mean ponzi scheme?" Bingo!

Evolution Hoax
One of the supposed excuses put forward by societies that denied the message of the prophets was the claim that the prophets were seeking to turn them away from their traditional religions. Every community has its own customs and traditions, cultural heritage and traditional beliefs. Among these beliefs there may be various superstitious practices and rites that are incompatible with the moral values preached by the prophets. Prophets rid the societies to which they are sent of such superstitious practices and rites that have become entangled with their beliefs and call on them to abide by the moral values of the true faith in the Sight of Allah. Yet some people, despite being aware of the false aspects of their traditional beliefs and practices, are unwilling to heed this call. As revealed in the Qur'an, they persist in their devotion to "the faiths of their ancestors," in other words to various false traditions and customs. The position of such people is described as follows in the Qur'an:
When they are told, "Follow what Allah has sent down to you," they say, "We are following what we found our fathers doing." What, even though their fathers did not understand a thing and were not guided! (Surat al-Baqara, 170)
The devotion that these people feel towards the religion of their ancestors stems from the concern they feel at the loss of their established order. For these people, the overturning of the whole system on which they have constructed their interests, rank and station, and supposed prestige within society is something that cannot be accepted. For that reason they regard the true faith preached by the prophets as a great threat to themselves and do all in their power to oppose the prophets. We are told in the Qur'an that people possessed of such immoral values have always opposed the messengers sent to them:
Similarly We never sent any warner before you to any city without the affluent among them saying, "We found our fathers following a religion and we are simply following in their footsteps." (Surat az-Zukhruf, 23)
People similar to those who opposed the Prophet Jethro (as), the Prophet Noah (as), the Prophet Lot (as), the Prophet Solomon (as), the Prophet Abraham (as) and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saas) may well oppose the Prophet Jesus (as) for the same reason when he returns. And the false indoctrination perpetrated by these people on the community in which they live may cause the majority of people not to recognize the Prophet Jesus (as).
In addition, when he returns the Prophet Jesus (as) will rule with Islam. This may be greeted with some astonishment, especially by some Christians who have false traditions and beliefs. The fact is though that the Prophet Jesus (as) will call them to the truth and salvation. However, a failure to comprehend this may lead those concerned into a grave error. (Allah knows the truth.)
At the heart of the unease and surprise that some Christians may feel on this subject lies the fact that after the ascension of the Prophet Jesus (as) into the Presence of Allah, Christianity became corrupted, especially with regard to such distorted beliefs as that the Prophet Jesus (as) is the son of Allah (Surely Allah is beyond that) and the trinity (Surely Allah is beyond that). In order to preserve Christianity, even though it has been corrupted, these people may well oppose the Prophet Jesus' (as) preaching the message of the existence and oneness of Allah, telling people that he is Allah's servant and merely His prophet, and calling on them to adhere to Islamic moral values. Those who wish to preserve this false religion they learned from their ancestors may make very great efforts in order to prevent the Prophet Jesus (as) being recognized and communicating the message of the true faith. When called to the truth by the Prophet Moses (as), Pharaoh and his court were similarly unwilling to abandon the perverted religion of their ancestors and even sought to hinder the Prophet Moses (as) and the Prophet Aaron (as) through ugly slanders. The people's attitude towards the message of the Prophet Moses (as) is revealed as follows in the Qur'an:
They said, "Have you come to us to turn us from what we found our fathers doing, and to gain greatness in the land? We do not believe you." (Surah Yunus, 78)
As revealed in this verse, the tribe of the Prophet Moses (as) exhibited an irrational and illogical devotion to the false beliefs of their ancestors, and also attempted to neutralize the believers' message by uttering slanders. When, by Allah's leave, the Prophet Jesus (as) returns to earth and again calls people to the moral precepts of the Qur'an, similar people may well spread the lie that this holy prophet is not actually the Prophet Jesus (as) at all. They may well utter slanders against this holy prophet. This kind of propaganda from the people in question may cause a great many people who live far removed from religious moral values to be influenced by their lies and cause them not to recognize the Prophet Jesus (as).
In addition to the historical degeneration of Christianity, it is also possible that in the End Times Christian communities will move even further away from their faith under the indoctrination of the system of the antichrist. In his works, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has also drawn attention to the way that the system of the antichrist distances these communities away from spiritual values:
... at the command of satan and due to his temptations, the great antichrist will abrogate the injunctions of the Christian Law, and destroying the bonds in accordance with which the life of Christian society is administered, he will prepare the ground for anarchy and Gog and Magog. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Rays, p. 467)
According to these statements by Bediuzzaman, with its indoctrination and misdirection, the system of the antichrist will do away with precepts of the true Christianity and will corrupt the moral values that permit Christians' social order and that bind them together. All these conditions, noted by Bediuzzaman, may mean that when the Prophet Jesus (as) returns to earth some people will fail to be aware of this holy prophet and his honorable struggle, and that others will pretend not to recognize him in the light of their own aims.

SANFORD—Rivals Massabesic and Sanford battled to a 1-1 tie in SMAA field hockey action last Wednesday in a game that went through two scoreless overtime periods.
Sanford struck first when Caroline L'Heureux scored on an assist by Emily Salls at the 12:10 mark of the first half. Sanford goalie Taylor Zuk made several key saves to keep the Mustangs off the board through the first half, and the score remainined 1-0 at the break. The Mustangs remained scoreless through much of the second half, but with 5:34 remaining in the game the Mustangs finally scored. "After not capitalizing on numerous scoring opportunities, we finally got on the board when Hannah Patch won a scrum with a nice ball to the back of the goal," said Massabesic coach Michele Martin-Moore.
Both goalies, Zuk and Massabesic's Abby Greenleaf, turned in awesome performances. Coach Martin-Moore also praised the defensive play of Sarah Cost who "once again made a clutch defensive save at the end of the first half."
L'Heureux nearly had two goals in the contest when she scored a goal that was disallowed because the pass into the circle had not gone five yards.
Zuk had 13 saves for Sanford and Greenleaf had 14 for the Mustangs.
On Monday, Sanford hosted the Biddeford Tigers and came away with a 7-1 victory to improve their record to 8-3-1.
Sanford was led by Lauren Saqwyer and Janelle Cannon who scored two goals each.
Biddeford struck first, making it 1-0 early on a goal by Mallory Mourmourous. But that would be all the offense Biddeford could muster as Sanford dominated play the rest of the game, scoring seven straight goals.
Other Sanford goals were scored by Caroline L'Heureux, Emily Salls and Addie Purvis. In addition, Sawyer and Salls each had two assists and L'Heureux added one.
The Spartans close out the regular season on Friday when they entertain the 10-1 Cheverus Stags in a 6 p.m. game at Goodall Park.

Good jacket
D. HINTZMANN (Wisconsin) on April 27, 2012
My husband started wearing this product when he was coaching high school basketball and football. He doesn't enjoy sweaters, so this is a perfect replacement when wanting the added style with comfort.This recent purchase was for his birthday to add more colors to his wardrobe--the coaching pullovers were our school colors, so the color change is refreshing. They don't wear out!
K. BAUCHERT (Colorado) on March 20, 2012
Waterproof, windproof, fits well, and good style. I like to wear it over a hoodie on those really cold days, and just over a shirt on cool days.
G. SIMS (Tennessee) on February 5, 2012
My team love there pullovers , nice holloway style quality
D. YOUNG (Washington) on April 19, 2011
Kids love the pullover for practice. Sizes run a bit small.

Nice jackets, youth sizes run small, had to size up.
S. MILLER (California) on January 28, 2010
I buy this product for the girls on a travel ball team and they use them constantly. I wish the lining was a little thicker and some of the girls have said theirs have ripped by the underarms but they are very nice looking.
D. HUEY (California) on May 11, 2011
The side zipper won't stay closed. This product is good as far as water and wind proof goes. In one of the reviews the writer said that the sizes run a little small. Not true in my case. Should have ordered XL instead of XXL.

Psst… do you want to know where to find Cheap Eats that are actually Good Eats in Savannah? We have the inside scoop on new as well as tried and true dining establishments in our delicious city that won't pluck your wallet clean of green. At least once a month we make an attempt to experience a new restaurant, revisit an old favorite, or give the proverbial second chance to a place that fell off our list of "good eats". Yesterday, with sisters-in-law in tow, Jake and I discovered a new delight, Second Line, located on the west end of Bay Street quite close to our fav antique store, Jere's.
Featuring Authentic New Orleans Po' Boys, and though it is difficult to think clearly when I contemplate my college years, I must tell you that this is as close as you can get without traveling to NOLA. The owners began work on the Factors Walk space last spring, jumped through the required hoops, built tables out of reclaimed wood (old telephone cable rolls) and painted a wall mural of a familiar New Orleans scene – a "second line," a reference to the impromptu percussive rhythms of the row of mourners behind the band in a New Orleans funeral procession and later the line of dancing, parasol-toting, kerchief-waving celebrants who form up behind participants in the city's renowned jazz parades.
It was difficult to single out just one Po' Boy and being frugal, we each ordered a sandwich and shared our bounty. I chose the Muffaletta, Jake the "Debris", Kathi had Meatball and Teresa chose a hot Ham and Cheese – all were served on French Bread and dressed to suite our tastes, kexcept mine which was served on Italian Bread. My favorite was Kathi's meatball sub, followed closely by my own Muffaletta though the Debris (hot roast beef, ham and turkey shavings in their own house brown gravy was singularly guarded by Jake. I found the hot ham and cheese to be tasty with remnants of childhood comforts in its simplest form.
The sandwiches at the Second Line were all under $10 and wonderfully filling when topped off with Sweet Tea and provided the necessary energy to get us through the walk back to Azalea Inn and Gardens, a mere 7 blocks of square-strolling beauty.
For more suggestions on where to eat, sleep and indulge in all things Savannah, call our Savannah GA Bed and Breakfast, Azalea Inn and Gardens so you can see of all of Savannah and Tybee Island GA.

I love the Brasilian pop Guarana. You can sometimes find it here in a specialty store, but you have to search. LOVE IT!
Scampi Fries. Brought back about 20 snack bags of it the last time I was in London. That was so long ago I have no idea if they're still being made.
McVitie's ginger nuts and Cadbury drinking chocolate. I used to miss blood oranges, but now we're starting to see them here in the US.When we were stationed in Italy, we had friends who adamantly refused to eat local foods. "We might like them, and then be sad when we went back home and couldn't get them." I confess to being absolutely baffled by this attitude.
I've been sending Tim Tams and Golden Syrup to friends in the UK and USA respectively for years (mostly golden syrup to expats who want to make Anzac biscuits)

Pleasant Valley Elementary School is one of only two out of about 1,150 schools in Missouri to receive both of the two new marks of distinction being handed out by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education under a new school evaluation system.
Pleasant Valley Elementary School is one of only two out of about 1,150 schools in Missouri to receive both of the two new marks of distinction being handed out by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education under a new school evaluation system.
Pleasant Valley school was named both a High Performing Reward School and a High Progress Reward School by the state. Carthage R-9 Superintendent Blaine Henningsen said the district received the letter confirming both honors on Thursday.
"Basically, they looked at the last three years of data and combined it, then they rank you compared to all the other schools," Henningsen said. "These are Title one schools, mostly elementary schools they're talking about. There are 1,150 in Missouri and Pleasant Valley is one of only two to receive both designations. It's a tremendous honor and we're really, really, proud."
According to the letter from DESE, High Performance schools are "Title one schools with the highest proficiency rating in English language arts and mathematics, as measured by state assessments over three consecutive years."
The letter defines High Progress schools are schools "demonstrating the most pronounced increase in proficiency rates in English language arts and mathematics on state assessments over the past three years."
In both cases schools cannot have a proficiency gap of more than 20 percent between their lowest and highest performing subgroups.
Principal Scott Ragsdale said the Pleasant Valley staff was excited to hear the news about the designations.
"The teachers were jumping up and down and cheering," Ragsdale said. "They were very excited. We're working hard to maintain that trend. We got excited about it and then we got down to business."
Ragsdale said he was happy to see the state recognize the hard work of his teachers.
"I'd say that one of the things we're really doing pretty well, and we can still work on it, but it's engaging our students through different instructional strategies," Ragsdale said. "We're using technology in the classrooms quite frequently, we've got our students working in collaborative groups quite a bit."
Ragsdale said the teachers are teaching the entire class a subject, then they will work with the students in smaller groups to make sure the student gets the concept of what's being taught.
Henningsen said the teachers at Pleasant Valley and at the other schools in the district are using the data from the different assessments to adjust their teaching.
"We're using technology and we're using data to inform instructional decision to provide kids with what they need," Henningsen said. "If they already know it, we're moving on and focusing attention on things we need to cover in the future. If we interpret the data and see that they're not where they should be, then we stop and we teach that before we move on."
Henningsen said all the schools are working together and sharing ideas for effective teaching methods.
"We're pretty excited about partnering with our fellow elementary schools, Ragsdale said. "There's a lot of collaboration among the principals, a lot of training among teachers. I think that, at Pleasant Valley, we're lucky enough to be probably the first wave of some real good educational things that are happening in our district. I would say. We've made a lot of changes in the past few years and I think we've seen their impact."

Activist and former elementary school teacher Jane Elliott presents on power, perception and prejudice
Elliott is known for the Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes Exercise in her third grade classroom | February 10, 2011
Activist and lecturer Jane Elliott, known for the Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes Exercise she conducted with her third grade students to expose racial ignorance, is speaking at Xavier tonight, Thursday, Feb. 10, at 7:00 p.m. in the Duff Banquet Room of the Cintas Center. Elliot's lecture is so-sponsored by Xavier's vice provost for diversity and several student offices as part of the University's Black History Month events.
A former elementary teacher from Iowa, Elliott has committed herself to leading a fight against racial ignorance in society. She is known for creating The Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes Exercise in her third-grade classroom in all-white, all-Christian Riceville, Iowa, immediately after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. The sensitizing exercise labeled the participants either inferior or superior based solely on the color of their eyes.
The exercise allowed people to personally experience the feeling of being discriminated against in the same way that society often discriminates against women, people of color, homosexuals and the disabled. "Painful as it is," Elliott says, "my exercise is not invasive. It forces people to think in new ways."
Elliott has conducted her exercise throughout the country for the past 30 years and today works with college students in hopes of influencing the next generation. Her work was featured in several documentaries including the Emmy award-winning "Eye of the Storm." Elliott has appeared on "Oprah," "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" and a number of television specials including being chosen as Person of the Week with ABC's Peter Jennings. Her website offers learning materials for general use and videos for sale.
The lecture is free and open to all members of the Xavier community and the public. Free parking for the event is available in the Cintas Center lot. For more information call 513-745-4998.

Advocates Come Together to Mobilize Resources for Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, Malaria
February 8, 2013
"Over the last two weeks, a series of meetings were held in Amsterdam in the Netherlands -- advocates and people from the communities affected by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis [TB] and malaria came together to strategize and decide on courses of action to take in this critical year of replenishing the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria," Lucy Chesire, executive director and secretary to the board of the TB ACTION Group, writes in the Huffington Post's "Impact" blog.
"Hosted by Dutch [non-governmental organization (NGO)] International Civil Society Support, the Global Fund Advocates Network meetings ... included presentations from members of the Global Fund Secretariat on the replenishment and communications strategy and from UNAIDS, Stop TB Partnership, Malaria No More and HealthGAP about some of the opportunities and challenges in the fields of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria advocacy," she states, noting the presentations are available online. Advocates "jointly strategized around the big push needed to mobilize resources both in donor capitals but also in countries where the Global Fund operates to increase domestic resources in the fight against the three diseases," according to Chesire, who relays the story of Oxana Rucsineanu, a TB survivor and advocate from Moldova working with the Global Fund Advocacy Network in Amsterdam (2/7).

Teamlist Tuesday is here with #NRL Teamlists and officials for Round 12 confirmed.
Head to bit.ly/L...
2 days ago
The St George Illawarra Dragons and South Sydney Rabbitohs announced on Thursday that the 2014 Charity Shield will be held at WIN Stadium, Wollongong on Saturday, February 22.
The 31st annual event which serves as the "unofficial" start to the season, will be held out of Sydney for the first time in the event's history due to contracted venue, ANZ Stadium, being unavailable for the traditional fixture.
The Dragons, with the assistance of Destination Wollongong, secured the event for Wollongong with the support of the Rabbitohs despite interest from a number of other venues.
"The Charity Shield has always been a key event on our calendar and an important match for our team in the lead up to the season and we are happy that we have been able to secure this event for our region," said Dragons CEO Peter Doust.
Destination Wollongong General Manager Mark Sleigh said Wollongong is perfectly positioned to benefit from the acquisition of such a prestigious event in more ways than one.
"To see Wollongong selected as the home of the 2014 Charity Shield, considering it has never been played outside of Sydney, is incredibly exciting," said Sleigh.
"Not only will it generate out of region visitation and have a consequent positive impact on the local economy, it further cements Wollongong's position as a major event destination.
"Wollongong has long been a rugby league heartland, and being able to bring two long standing rivals to the region for such an important game is a great coup for the region.
"We thank the Dragons, Wollongong City Council and WIN Stadium for their assistance in helping us secure another prominent event for Wollongong."
The annual clash that raises awareness and funds for charity will serve as the final hit-out for the Dragons and the Rabbitohs prior to the start of the 2014 season with both teams expected to field full-strength teams.
"The Charity Shield always brings out the best in both teams, it is played with great intensity and it will be the last chance for our players to press for selection in the opening round," said Dragons Head Coach Steve Price.
The Charity Shield began in 1982 and so too did the tradition of supporting local charities and causes. In 2014 proceeds from the Charity Shield will support three charities from within the Dragons Community program – The St.George Foundation, St George and Wollongong Public Hospitals.
The St.George Foundation was founded in 1990 by St.George Bank, also the major partner of the St George Illawarra Dragons. Over the past 24 years the Foundation has raised more than $20 million to support physically, socially and economically disadvantaged kids across Australia.
In 30 Charity Shield fixtures contested since 1982, the Dragons have recorded 16 wins, 10 loses and drawn on four occasions.
Dragons and Rabbitohs Members will have a pre-sale purchase window through Ticketek and access to discounted tickets as well as FREE Return Transport from Sydney, details to be finalised and communicated as soon as possible.
For Members and supporters wishing to stay in the Illawarra region, Destination Wollongong will be providing a range of packages and options, details to be finalised and communicated as soon as possible.
Charity Shield Details
Date: Saturday, February 22
Venue: WIN Stadium, Wollongong
Time: NRL: 5:00pm; Preliminary Game: To be confirmed ahead of tickets going on sale
Members Pre-Sale: Wednesday, January 22 (10.00am) - Monday, January 27 (5.00pm)
General Public: Tuesday, January 28 (10.00am)

To the Editor:
Re: our immigration problem. This is a complicated matter, and illegal entry into America isn't just from Mexico. Having said that, I have a problem with senators and TV commentators repeatedly saying the illegal immigrants who cross our borders are coming here for a "better life."
So that means it's OK to break our laws? In that case, I'm going to hold up my local bank and expect to get away with it because I just want a "better life" and I need the money to send my children to college.

text: The sixth annual Walpole Day kicks off Saturday at noon with a parade from Walpole High School to Stone Field. About 100 community groups plan to set up tables on the field, where there also will be games, entertainment, and food. At 3:30 p.m., thousands of rubber ducks will be released on Memorial Pond for the Wacky Quacky Duck Race, according to Aicha Kelley of the Walpole Recreation Department, which sponsors Walpole Day. Festivities continue on May 19 with a 5k trail run and tethered hot-air balloon rides at Walpole High School. Those events raise money for the town's Fourth of July fireworks, she said.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
With the help of some wood glue, clamps, hockey tape, paint, and loads of patience, I was able to reconstruct the broken tree I got from the company which shall not be named (I think the Oriental Trading company is officially banished from my Halloween kingdom at this point).
As you can see, I've started decorating it with large spiders, skeletons, a few lights and garland. The reason for the post, however, is not to parade around photos of my Frankenstein tree, brought back to life. It's to tell you about the quick and simple Halloween Ornament How-To now available in my monster workshop.
All you really need is some clay (I used cheap Crayola paperclay), some cookie cutters, some ribbon and some paint to make yourself Halloween shapes for trees, wreaths, doorways or windows. This is a good one to do with the kids.
Below are more images of the tree so far. Enjoy!
Quick post today as I am still under the weather. I wanted to get the last of the Nuit Blanche pictures up before I proceed with blogging about Halloween-centred content once more.
We made a stop to see Meeky, the world's strangest little boy. The line up was an hour long to get into the back of cube van made up like a circus sideshow. Yetch, another friend and myself decided to pass on this and while the rest of the group waited in line. While we had some warm grub and alcohol to warm us up, our other friends faced the crowd to get a peek inside the Meeky exhibit. Apparently, it wasn't worth the wait.
Imagine, fellow ghoulies, your favourite scenes from masters of horror surrounding you in a dark tunnel, playing larger than life beside each other, moving so fast you hardly have time to name the movie title. Brilliant.
Deep below Union Station (our main train station here in Toronto, where all the subways, buses and trains meet), in an underpass was Horroridor: 20 foot screens with projected film clips of famous scenes from horror (and some non-horror) movies. The thing they had in common? Screaming.
Excuse the quiet website. We ended up staying out from 7 pm until sometime past 5 am for Nuit Blanche. I was worn out enough to allow a cold lurking just below the surface to finally strike. I've been saving my energy for getting the house ready for Halloween.
Our first stop was to Playdead Cult (website currently under construction) at 1233 Queen St West. You have to love a place that has a hearse out front waiting to greet you. Normally, you can find everything from hand painted guitars to t-shirts here, but on this night it was all about celebrating Dia de los Muertos.
A reminder that tonight in Toronto is Nuit Blanche, a free art event that takes over the city from sundown (6:52 p.m.) to sunrise. For one sleepless night, experience Toronto transformed by artists. Discover art in galleries, museums and unexpected places. From bridges and tunnels to warehouses and stadiums, choose from more than 155 destinations and chart your own path.
Exhibits of interest may include Horroridor where viewers will be guided toward a long corridor where they will pass through the approximately 20-foot dual projections of visual and audio recordings of hundreds of people screaming on either side of them. I plan to pop by this exhibit.
If you look up the definition of Vermillion, most dictionaries offer "the edge of the red pigment around the lips". Intriguing.
I recently made time to snuggle up with a new comic book from Waheela Comics. Not to be confused with DC's dystopian comic (cancelled after a short run), Vermillion comes from an independent publishing company out of Detroit.
I often find indie comics have more grit, and a bit more soul than those created by larger corporations. Such was my findings with this new publication.
While I appreciated the artwork of Alan Brooks (who has illustrated for the Bluewater Productions Ray Harryhausen title "Flying Saucers vs the Earth") displayed on the cover, I wasn't fully invested. Then I looked inside.
The black and white illustrations immediately gave this comic credibility with me. It's dark and almost grainy, with a distinct sense of movement about it. Kind of like watching a colourless dream (or nightmare). It's hard to see what's lurking in the black corners of the pictures, as if you're waiting for your eyes to adjust in the darkness (as the characters themselves are experiencing). The unique appearance could be due to the fact that the comic is printed on an antique press (that combined with the sketch-quality of the illustrator, Clay McCormack, whose work includes "A Tale From a World of Dead Meat", among others).
Happy October first! Today signifies two things: one, the official start of Autumn and the holiday season (for me); and two, a reality check on how swamped I am with projects.
I'm a little behind schedule. It has given me a touch of anxiety. Luckily, I've finished the most challenging (or perhaps it's more accurate to say detail-intensive) props I've ever built.
I've been fixated on this little beauty that has taken me a month to build, and it's called "Edmond's Abandoned Carousel". I don't have time to go too much into detail this morning, but luckily everything you want to know about it should be on the other end of the above link (it's also listed in the project updates box to the right).
That link leads you to the backstory behind the prop, an image gallery, a how-to, a video and a slideshow.
Enjoy! And remember, if you want one for Halloween, I suggest you start today.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I should be blogging about a terrific comic book I was recently sent, but instead I'm forced to vent about the ridiculous adventures of cross border shopping.
Readers of my blog will remember that I had an unfortunate shopping experience with Oriental Trading Company. They extended an olive branch and sent me a certificate toward my next purchase for my trouble. At the start of last month, I decided to give them a second try.
Everything showed up in good condition this time. The only groan I had was that at the time of ordering, I was told they couldn't confirm whether or not an item was in stock (normally not a big deal, but I wanted bang for my shipping buck. If I had been told I couldn't get the item, I would have picked something else).
Ever since I read about the arrival of the Spirit Halloween Store chain making its way north into Ontario, I was determined to visit. As a Canadian, I'd read post after post on forums from American haunters who make Spirit sound like a holy ground. A trek out to Mississauga was in order.
The Amazing Party Store is another haunter haven that I've been meaning to hit. Every year, CityTV News does a series of spots from their place at Halloween. Since it's on the way to Mississauga, I decided to add it to my list of destinations for the day. Yetch was kind enough to accompany me.
My first impression of the Amazing Party Store was promising. Countless spectres and ghouls hung from the ceiling. The shelves were fully stocked with items, and there were a number that I hadn't seen at other party stores. I was excited.
Greetings Ghoulies. Just letting you know that there is a new tutorial on painting faux wooden boards on cardboard on the site. It's cheap and simple - anyone, and I mean anyone, can do it.
It's a great alternative to using real wood or, in some cases, styrofoam. Mind you, the same painting technique can be used on pieces of styrofoam (as you'll see in the tutorial).
With this technique, you can create boards for windows, full crates, or simple backgrounds. Cardboard isn't great for any area that is open to the elements (water + cardboard = bad), but inside it's fantastic (and did I mention free?).
Speaking of fantastic, I came across a sign made from foam board that was wonderfully crafted by a haunter in Maryland. Since we're on the topics of tutorials, I'll give you his as well. He was kind enough to share it with me when I asked for details.
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Forum Post: How To Move The Protest From Bankers To Belugas
Posted 4 years ago on Sept. 5, 2013, 10:11 a.m. EST by almondBoy
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
So, how do we accomplish this? How do we go from bankers to belugas in practice.
I was thinking we should create a logo of the fist of power, but that it should hold some earth it in, with a few flowers and animals. Now, this has to be done right so it's not interpreted in the reverse direction (the fist destroying the planet). Somehow, it should be made to look like we are helping the planet. Maybe the fist of power is not right, but something along these lines.
We also need a new tag line. 99% vs 1% doesn't work in this case. It won't be about wealth inequality anymore. Anyone have any ideas?
We should probably rebrand this site as well.
We should all be motivated. This is an exciting time for OWS. Changing the goal to something more achievable and important is not only laudable, it's also just plain fun.
Let's all share our ideas on rebranding here. I just thought of a few things, but there's so many ideas we could develop. I can't wait to hear what you're thinking.

"Probing Fatal Blast at Aetna Chemical Plant" is declared in bold print on the front page of the December 6, 1917, Pittsburgh Press.
The article hints of German or Austrian agents "doping" the tanks of the TNT. The Secret Service was suspicious of the blast. The world was at war and now, a huge explosion in Heidelberg, Allegheny Co, PA, struck fear and despair into the local residents.
The plant manager thinks it was only an accident. What caused it? I don't know, but the list of the dead includes an extended family member.
The dead listed in the article include:
SPROULS, E age 28
MENTE, Andrew age 25
MENTE, Steve
unidentified white man, abt 25
LEA, Ellis age 28
PORTONA, Tony age 28
PETER, Steve, age 36
MONTAGUE, Chester, age 20
four unidentified men
I became interested in the LEA family while looking deep in early Allegheny Co, PA. We were friends. We were neighbors. We attended church together. We married.
I have an old picture from 1871 on which the name of the young man is written. Also written is to whom the picture was given. This was my first clue over a decade ago as I searched for more genealogy finds.
Click here to read more on Maggie's story.
The young Ellis LEA who died in the TNT blast was the son of Cassius LEA and his second wife, Mary HICKEY. Cassius is buried at St. Clair Cemetery in Mt Lebanon, Allegheny, PA, with both his wives and his infant daughter.
We knew where the plot was thanks to an old map, but had not located any headstone. We knew Cassius was there thanks to a really old cemetery census published by a genealogy society.
Two events happened yesterday to render me speechless, or rather, wordless.
1- I stumbled across the marriage of the Ellis's widow, Beatrice H, to Cloud BRYAN. A quick look at ancestry has now led me to send an email to a descendant of his.
2- Another email arrived yesterday asking if I was sitting down. And it was from the Historical Society of Mount Lebanon's Margaret Jackson. I became friends with Margaret when I assisted her in writing a booklet on the cemetery and its inhabitants back in 2004. You can see this great booklet now at www.stclaircemetery.com.
They uncovered the headstone for Cassius and his second wife, Mary! And it was exactly where I had said it should be!!!! So cool!!
I am just so thrilled to see his gravestone! Will they find one for Maggie and their infant daughter right next to it? Can't wait to hear!
Update 10 Aug 2010: The middle name for Cassius has now been confirmed as "Monroe" by an article in the Sept 24, 1905 "Leader" and was sent to me by the g-granddaughter of Mansfield B Lea (brother of Cassius.)

This is a great find as I followed the story from the St.Clair Cemetery website. I am directly related to Cassius's grandfather Major William Lea and would love to see any other info you have about the Lea family. I can be contacted via email:

An offer has been placed on the table for Ryan Ludwick. A decision might be made as soon as today. I have read in other places that both the Braves, Mets and the Mariners are talking to Ludwick. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ryan_ludwick/
I have also read in a couple places that the Reds are looking for a LFer with an high OBP for the leadoff spot. That is not Ryan Ludwick.
I would like Ludwick back.
Meanwhile, Dave O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal Constitution says (on Twitter) the Braves have interest in free agent outfielders like Ryan Ludwick, Shane Victorino, and Cody Ross even after signing Upton.The Mariners have checked in on Ryan Ludwick, among other hitters, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.Meanwhile, the Mets have interest in the 34-year-old, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.Both the Braves and Reds are trying to acquire a leadoff hitting left fielder, reports ESPN's Jim Bowden (on Twitter). Both teams had interest in Denard Span before he was traded to the Nationals.
