Rex Ryan on Jets' QB Race and 2013 Season
As training camp heats up for the New York Jets, head coach Rex Ryan sits down with WSJ sports reporter Mike Sielski to talk about the quarterback "competition," the loss of Derrelle Revis, and his outlook for the Jets' 2013 NFL season. Photo: AP

Rickert is impressed that there are many technological advances in Falconia. Waterways, bathing places, public toilets, roads... He reflects on the fact that "if this city is the city of legend, the advances of civilization and technology are at the top, better than any other country". Luca tells him "But you're the one who's great because you revive them!
Luca gets into a grand speech: "In life, sometimes you get somebody precious. But whether it's somebody who is with you or somebody who already left you, somebody close or somebody you walked away from... No matter what you choose, there's always regret. But at least you shouldn't make excuses to yourself."
The girls are fawning: "Ah you are great Luca. Don't you regret about Jerome?"Luca: "His wife is too fierce. I couldn't fool her, and I'm not that type of woman."
Daiba: "Being young is good."
Someone replies : "Ah, that's too bad..."Rickert: "Darkness?"Rakshas: "Separation with your family, it's so hard and lonely, but you don't have to worry."Rakshas: "Even if you disappear, your family will be taken good care of under the protection of the Falcon in this city."Rakshas: "Your family will live without any problem."Rakshas: "So, please go without having any regrets."
Silat: "Is it the order of the Falcon himself, or is it a trick of that knight, Locus or whatever? Anyway, that boy seems to know the secret of the Falcon..."
So... Rickert really was intent on leaving. It's almost cruel, to leave Erica like that, after she had pledged that she'd follow him.
On that note, I do expect Griffith to eventually reprimand Rakshas and/or Locus if he learns what transpired here.
Man, so Griffith gets slapped and rejected (we know he doesn't take that well)
I wonder if Rickert recognizes Silat? He seems to focus on the chackram, I bet he does.
The old ruins in Falconia are interesting too. Some actual parts unmodified or restored of the original city?
It's funny that for all the focus on the slap, Griffith actually doesn't seem bothered by it, it's more the fact Rickert denied him that he seems to be contemplative about.
Anyway, I'm back to furiously thinking about Rakshas' apostle form. ...I'd propose an invertebrate like an octopus
I wonder if he's merely contemplative or dazed and confused like the dumpee he is. =)
I wonder if there's more to his espionage than just hiding in the shadows.
You've got to imagine Silat along with those Bakiraka would be enough of a challenge to make him change.
By the way I'm a bit confused : is there still 4 Tapasa?
That *headless* statue at the end... Could it be...?
And could Rakshas have some kind of a connection with the statue of that said person?
Anyway, what do you guys think?
Yes, there are still four Tapasa. They just rarely infiltrate a place all together. Silat usually only takes two of them with him, probably to draw as little attention as possible.
When was it that we saw the gang together?
The one scene I recall for sure is the gathering of apostles around Griffith.
Anyway, a better question to ask is how many of them will be left after this encounter with Rakshas. If he gets serious, their survival is not at all guaranteed, despite their impressive skills.
We have a pretty introspective panel at the top of page 2 regarding that subject. His first documented frown since obtaining his new skin suit?
Wow. Incredible. Can we give credit where it is due. Silat not only being a complete badass in defending Rickert but infiltrating Falconia in such a fashion without apostles such as Locus discovering him. I wonder if there's more to his espionage than just hiding in the shadows.
The whole end scene sets up a perfect opportunity to give us more about Rakshas, or like Aaz speculated give us his Apostle form. You've got to imagine Silat along with those Bakiraka would be enough of a challenge to make him change.
That's pretty much 100% impossible.
That's what I'm afraid of. I'd like for them to survive that encounter.
I have to give badass of the episode status to Rakshas, even though the Bakiraka literally crushed him at the end. His movement, his dialogue, his entire aura. He does sinister like nobody's business. That sneering double speak that basically amounted to, "ha ha, relax, you've got nothing to worry about because you're going to die now, but not before I make you think about it first." He's so purely malevolent, but makes it look cool.

But it is also a reminder that, though it is rarely the first of its facets to be celebrated, America has long produced great artists and glorious art. True, these titans of the canvas are often lost behind a crowd scene of other US legends gleam-toothed actors; hoop-holing sportsmen and podium-posing politicians. But they are there all the same: Georgia O'Keeffe with her floral close-ups, Big Apple vistas and New Mexico landscapes; Jackson Pollock with his intense swirls; Andy Warhol and his celebrity-inflected pop art.
And with them comes a whispered secret: should you choose, you can indulge a passion for painting and sculpture for the staunchly traditional or the belligerently modern; for home-spun works or international masterpieces in just about every city in the country.
You can do this in the cultural temples of Washington DC, New York and Chicago - or in less-known galleries from Seattle to Birmingham via Boise and Wichita. You will find high concepts and bluntly provocative daubings, sharp slices of insight and bleak, impenetrable nightmares. But if visual culture is your thing, America has much to offer. The only question, perhaps, is where to start
The idea of America as a country infused with art is brought home by the numerous kernels of culture located in cities that do not sit immediately in the holidaymaker's path.
Providence, for example, has the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design. Here the latest exhibition, America in View: Landscape Photography 1865 to Now (work above until 13 January) throws out myriad raw vistas and tree-swathed snapshots.
A few states south along the East Coast, the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington pins itself to another fine cache of American art, including Edward Hopper's soft Summertime (1943).
Hopper is present in darker form via his 1921 etching 'Night Shadows' at the excellent Des Moines Art Center in Iowa, as is Georgia O'Keeffe, whose superb 'From The Lake No 1' (1924) has waves rising in layers of paint.
The Boise Art Museum in Idaho's capital, gazes out at the American north-west that surrounds it. Next up is Left Unsaid (24 November-3 March), examining stark creations by local artist Troy Passey.
And America's geographical heartland has its artistic exclamation marks. The Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha surveys the fields of Nebraska from a pristine 1931 Art Deco structure, combining Renoir and Monet with Native American painting and sculpture.
Elsewhere, the Wichita Art Museum, the largest gallery in Kansas, has 7000 works, including pieces by "cowboy artist'' Charles Russell all dusty plains and open horizons.
America's north-east is home to a cluster of what might be deemed some of the planet's finest galleries. New York alone is an art aficionado's dream. The Metropolitan Museum of Art ranks as the largest art museum in the country, home to two million works. It runs the gamut of European masters, but also has space for American moments such as Pollock's 'Autumn Rhythm (Number 30)' (1950).
Similarly revered, the Museum of Modern Art does outbursts of dashing and daring, covering architecture, design and film as well as art. Warhol's seismic 'Campbell's Soup Cans' (1962) the canvas equivalent of an arched eyebrow is one of the venue's main attractions.
You'll find further dabs of the modern at the Guggenheim Museum, which parades the best of the 20th century including Picasso's 'Landscape At Cret' (1911) in a cylindrical Frank Lloyd Wright building that's an artwork in itself.
Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has a strong domestic emphasis. Its Art of the Americas Wing focuses on North, South and Central America, which takes in everything from Mayan ceramics to striking works of Native American genius.
A weighty rival to the Met, the Art Institute of Chicago is the second-largest art museum in the USA. Particularly good on Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, offerings include Van Gogh's melancholy 'Self Portrait' (1887).
Washington DC also has its say. Part of the Smithsonian Institution, the American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery co-exist as two galleries in one building. The former dispenses US brushstrokes such as O'Keeffe's 'Manhattan' (1932) while the latter is noted for presidential portraits.The National Gallery of Art reverts to Europe via Rembrandt, Da Vinci and Matisse.
At the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven the Socit Anonyme exhibition opens on 12 December to celebrate early 20th-century European and American art.
If you want to look at the artist as much as the art, you can also find institutions that are dedicated solely to the name above the door. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum eulogises this female art pioneer in Santa Fe - the dry contours of New Mexico having hugely informed her work. And the blondest art star of the 1960s is remembered at the Andy Warhol Museum in his native Pittsburgh - a treasure trove of photos, film, paintings and sculptures including 'Self Portrait In Drag' (1981).
Tucked away in Nyack, New York State, the Edward Hopper House Art Center treads a rather more traditional line, showing examples of Hopper's oeuvre in his childhood home.
Jackson Pollock is similarly recalled at the Pollock-Krasner House, the property in East Hampton on Long Island, east of New York City, that he shared with his artist wife Lee Krasner.
As a city renowned for glitz and glamour, it should be no great shock that Los Angeles embraces art with relish. The J Paul Getty Museum proffers two sites, one in Malibu, one in Brentwood with the latter, the Getty Center, splitting its attention between European stalwarts (Turner, Manet, Renoir, Titian) and a outdoor sculpture area that features Henry Moore's 1985 human study 'Bronze Form'.
The Museum of Contemporary Art, meanwhile, serves up three cutting-edge LA locations. At the main Grand Center location, a feast of post-war creativity is on display includes Roy Lichtenstein's 'Navajo, Seated' (1957).
The age-old competition between California's two largest cities ensures fertile art turf in San Francisco.
The de Young Museum delivers a glut of American art from the 17th century onwards, with spotlights directed at Bay Area artists.
The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco was formerly part of the de Young Museum. But it has proved so successful that it now operates from its own premises. Across some 17,000 exhibits, the museum takes in inspired and inspiration pieces from Iran, Korea, China and Japan.
A defiantly creative city, Seattle is also a west coast art hotspot. The Seattle Art Museum covers many bases, its main building playing host to early American watercolours, while the attached Olympic Sculpture Park is home to giant al fresco works, including Alexander Calder's metal 'Eagle' (1971).
The sheer size of Houston demands an art institution of suitable stature. So it proves with the Museum of Fine Arts, which tempers the urban sprawl of the Texas metropolis with 63,000 exhibits. A wealth of Impressionism includes one of Monet's timeless 1907 'Water Lilies'.
Smaller of scale, but no less intriguing, the Birmingham Museum of Art fits in with the jazz and civil rights history of this burgeoning Alabama city. Current exhibition Norman Rockwell's America (to 6 January) holds a mirror to the New York illustrator whose populist portrayals captured the US of the 20th century.
To see one of Rockwell's classics, the wartime heroine 'Rosie the Riveter' (1943), head to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. Here, the story of the USA is also told via pieces like Charles Willson Peale's 1780 portrait of George Washington.
Further glimpses of the American soul are available at West Virginia's Huntington Museum of Art, which includes John Singer Sargent's 'Near June Street, Worcester, Massachusetts' (1890).
The Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia sees Rubens and Czanne rub shoulders with Hopper's 'New York Pavements' (1924).

To simplify debugging, Qpid provides a logging facility that prints out messaging events.
The Qpidd broker and C++ clients can both use environment variables to enable logging. Linux and Windows systems use the same named environment variables and values.
Use QPID_LOG_ENABLE to set the level of logging you are interested in (trace, debug, info, notice, warning, error, or critical):
export QPID_LOG_ENABLE="warning+"
The Qpidd broker and C++ clients use QPID_LOG_OUTPUT to determine where logging output should be sent. This is either a file name or the special values stderr, stdout, or syslog:
export QPID_LOG_TO_FILE="/tmp/myclient.out"
From a Windows command prompt, use the following command format to set the environment variables:
set QPID_LOG_ENABLE=warning+ set QPID_LOG_TO_FILE=D:\tmp\myclient.out
The Python client library supports logging using the standard Python logging module. The easiest way to do logging is to use the basicConfig(), which reports all warnings and errors:
from logging import basicConfig basicConfig()
Qpidd also provides a convenience method that makes it easy to specify the level of logging desired. For instance, the following code enables logging at the DEBUG level:
from qpid.log import enable, DEBUG enable("qpid.messaging.io", DEBUG)
For more information on Python logging, see http://docs.python.org/lib/node425.html. For more information on Qpid logging, use $ pydoc qpid.log.

by Cynthia Tucker
(CNN) — Like giddy teenagers, Republican activists have fallen for another charming, personable and accomplished black conservative. Dr. Ben Carson is the newest object of their crush, which was born of a desperate need to attract more black men and women as high-profile standard-bearers.
You can't blame Republican loyalists for swooning over the doc, a renowned surgeon who rose from poverty to head pediatric neurosurgery at Baltimore's famed Johns Hopkins Hospital. If wooing voters of color were simply a matter of finding an attractive black face with an inspiring personal story and an impressive resume, Carson would be hard to beat.
But black voters tend to be more discerning than that. They have shown an unerring instinct for rejecting condescension and dismissing tokenism. There are many black Americans who admire Carson for his professional accomplishments (I'm one of them), but that admiration is unlikely to translate into votes.
One of the reasons is that Carson doesn't seem to know black Americans' political values very well. In his most recent book — a political tract called "America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great" — he writes: "Many African-Americans voted for Obama simply because he was a black man and not because they resonated philosophically with his policies." In fact, black voters have been increasingly allied with the Democratic Party since the 1960s when Lyndon Johnson pushed through significant civil rights legislation. Al Gore received about 95% of the black vote in 2000, John Kerry about 93% in 2004.
Moreover, Carson seems to have adopted the view, popular among so many ultra-conservatives, that the Democratic Party appeals to voters who shun the work ethic.
Talking to The New York Times recently about his conservative views, Carson described himself as a "flaming liberal" in college who later became disaffected with the Democratic Party. "One thing I always believed strongly in was personal responsibility and hard work," he said. "I found the Democrat Party leaving me behind on that particular issue."
That notion — fallacious though it is — is at least as popular among black conservatives as among white ones. I've been hearing it from black Republicans for at least two decades. Several years ago, I interviewed a black conservative running a doomed campaign for a suburban Atlanta congressional district. She had no prior political experience, no policies to advance, no program to sell. Her platform consisted of her belief in hard work, which she contrasted, at least implicitly, with black Democrats' supposed preference for sloth.
That view is as puzzling as it is infuriating. It may charm those white conservatives who hold stereotypical views of black Americans, but it bears little resemblance to the realities that inform their choices at the ballot box.
In his memoir, "Gifted Hands," and in his motivational speeches, Carson talks about his impoverished childhood and his remarkable semiliterate mother. Married at 13 only to later divorce her philandering husband, she enforced high academic standards for Carson and his brother while working two or three jobs as a maid or nanny — and battling debilitating depression.
Carson eventually got into Yale and became, at 33, the youngest person to head a department at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is famous for separating conjoined twins.
That's a compelling and powerful tale. But it differs from those of other hardworking black people I know only in the degree of success that Carson attained as a result, not in the measures of ambition, industriousness, discipline and self-respect his mother instilled in her children.
Yet black Americans know better than to believe those traits are enough to guarantee success. History taught us better. Just look back over the last decade and a half. In 2000, according to the U.S. census, less than a quarter of black Americans — 22.5% — lived in poverty. By 2010, that number had risen to 27.4%. Was there a sudden outbreak of indolence among black folk over that period? Or were there outside forces that conspired to knock them back down the economic ladder?
As long as the Republican Party refuses to acknowledge that, it will have little to offer workers of color — and declining appeal to younger whites. They, too, understand the limits of self-reliance.
To be helpful to the GOP, Carson would have to remind them of the caprice of capitalism and the generational reach of racism's barriers. Instead, he sounds like the standard-issue Ayn Rand acolyte, no different from Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan. He opposes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and supports a flat tax. For good measure, he's also a religious conservative who disputes evolution.
It's no wonder that conservatives have started to trumpet him as their Great Black Hope. Psychologists believe that romantic interest increases when people mirror each other's gestures. Carson perfectly reflects the beliefs of his suitors.
Still, this romance is unlikely to blossom into a long-lasting love affair. There are too many misunderstandings, too many unspoken expectations, too many half-baked assumptions. And some of those half-based assumptions are Carson's.
Editor's note: Cynthia Tucker, a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist, is a visiting professor at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

An Analysis of Factors Influencing Diets of European ChildrenGwozdz, Wencke; Reisch, Lucia A.; DeHenauw, Stefaan; Lissner, Lauren; Moreno, Luis; Tornaritis, Michael; Molnar, Denes; Siani, Alfonso; Veidebaum, Toomas; Pigeot, Iris (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Because interventions related to diet and other health behaviours are seldom successful and/or sustainable, it is extremely important to identify the individual factors that contribute to a healthier or unhealthier diet. To this end, we use cross-sectional data from the IDEFICS study to analyse the dietary behaviour of children aged between 2 and 9 years in eight European countries. We model the complex nature of these individual factors using structural equation modelling. Our results show that both sedentary behaviour and food exposure are strong contributors to children's dietary choices. However, although we find a positive relation between a healthy diet and weight status for girls, weight status appears independent of diet quality for boys. These outcomes, although they permit no firm conclusions on health policy strategies, clearly suggest that further research based on longitudinal data could provide valuable insights for the design of successful prevention and intervention strategies.

Marketing With Promotional Items
The Secret to Marketing with
Promotional Items
For many businesses the traditional forms of advertising may be too expensive. Traditional advertising methods include radio, television and print. For these businesses it is important to find a cost effective advertising method that provides a significant return on their investment.
One such medium is the use of promotional items. With a diverse number of items available for businesses to choose from it is no wonder that this is a highly successful advertising method.
Businesses can distribute free promotional items to existing and potential customers and clients. The items chosen will be imprinted with the logo and contact details.
Case studies have shown the successful implementation in this advertising strategy for businesses in a range of industries. Additionally, the affordability of this advertising and marketing strategy ensures that all budgets are catered for.
In terms of advertising effectiveness, the use of free promotional items has been shown to be more effective than the traditional advertising methods. This is due to the fact that they strengthen recognition of the brand and the familiarity with the company for the recipient.
Indeed, the use of free promotional items such as pens, notepads and coffee cups allows the company to strengthen ties with the recipient. This is because they will feel a sense of gratitude. This in turn can engender a sense of reciprocity. Positive emotions are very powerful marketing tools.
The secret to marketing with promotional items is to engender gratitude in the recipient. Judicious promotional item choice is a key element in the successful implementation of this type of marketing.
Successful promotional items should:
- Create the sensation of gratitude
- Offer value to the recipient
- Be useful
Attractiveness, quality and color can all be important factors in the item choice. Offering a choice of colors that recipients can choose from can be worthwhile. This is because it will allow the recipient to feel more involved in the process, and an increased emotional attachment to the gift they receive. Ensuring that the items chosen meet these requirements will make sure that the return on investment is both significant and worthwhile.

The Bulldogs wrapped up a long day of competition at the NYU Invitational with a 2-3 record. Yale topped hosts NYU and visitors Wayne State, but fell to Notre Dame, Northwestern and Ohio State. At last year's event, the Bulldogs left with the same final score.
Yale fenced Not re Dame first and fell 21-6 (S 7-2, F 8-1, E 6-3). However, the loss represents an improvement from last year where the Bulldogs fell 24-3. Against Notre Dame, senior Katherine Arden and freshman Madeline Oliver won two intense bouts. The sabre squad fenced very well, according to captain Rebecca Moss, but were just a step behind their opponents. The epee squad held their own against possibly the best epee squad in the nation. Moss had an exciting bout with Olympian Kelley Hurley which she won 5-4 in overtime.
Against Northwestern, the Bulldogs lost 22-5 (S 6-3, F 8-1, E 8-1). Last year the score was 18-9 in favor of Northwestern. Moss commented on the match-up's difficulty:
"Northwestern has built their team up in the last year to a level we weren't expecting or prepared for. We had some close bouts, and we're walking away from this with a lot to improve on."
Yale then defeated Wayne State with a score of 21-6, notably sweeping the sabre (S 9-0, F 5-4, E 7-2). Last year the Bulldogs won 25-2. Moss emphasized the strong performance of the sabre squad.
"Sabre dominated this round. Squad captain Arden won a beautiful bout 5-0 then pulled out to allow senior Farrah Kimovec a chance to compete. Kimovec delivered with two victories of her own."
Oliver and Jennifer Ivers also won all their matches in sabre. Sophomore foilist Katharine Pitt was also undefeated against Wayne State. Moss noted that the team victory came at the right time.
"After two difficult defeats against Northwestern and Notre Dame, it was just the pick-me-up we needed heading into our bouts with NYU."
Yale followed that win up with another against NYU, 16-11 (S 5-4, F 2-7, E 9-0). Here the epee squad swept. Last year the Bulldogs won with a score of 19-8. On the victory, Moss noted:
"This round was really the epee fencer's time to shine. We have had problems with NYU in the past and even though things got close in the middle the squad was able to clench an uncontested win with Madeline Buxton winning three, Moss winning three, Tasha Garcia two, and Robyn Shaffer one. Our squad has really developed great chemistry and we were able to give each other a lot of advice."
The Bulldogs wrapped up the day with a loss to Ohio State by a final score of 19-8 (S 8-1, F 5-4, E 6-3). The loss was an improvement on last year's, which was decided by a score of 24-3 in favor of Ohio State.
"Even though it was a loss, it really shows that out team has been progressing," said Moss. "The foilist's performance, for example, is representative of the hard work they've put in.
The Bulldogs are back in action next weekend at home against Sacred Heart and Drew University.

Nashville, city (1990 pop. 487,969), state capital, coextensive with Davidson co., central Tenn., on the Cumberland River, in a fertile farm area; inc. as a city 1806, merged with Davidson co. 1963. It is a port of entry and an important commercial and industrial center. The city has railroad shops and diverse manufacturing, including wood, glass, and rubber products; shoes; aircraft parts; and steel. Nashville is noted for its music industry; it is a major recording center, especially for country music. It also has many publishing houses producing religious materials, school annuals, magazines, and telephone directories. Large health-care, insurance, and finance companies have their headquarters in Nashville.
The city was founded (1779) by a group of pioneers under James Robertson (who is buried there). Fort Nashborough was built on the banks of the river, and the next year 60 families arrived to settle the area. As the northern terminus of the Natchez Trace, the settlement developed early as a cotton center and river port and later as a railroad hub. It became the permanent capital of the state in 1843. After the fall of Fort Donelson in Feb., 1862, Nashville was abandoned to Union troops under D. C. Buell and became an important Union base for the remainder of the Civil War. Union Gen. G. H. Thomas won a decisive victory (Dec. 15–16, 1864) over J. B. Hood there.
Sometimes called the "Athens of the South," Nashville has many buildings of classical design, including a replica of the Parthenon, built in 1897. Among its many institutions of higher education are Vanderbilt Univ., Fisk Univ., Tennessee State Univ., Meharry Medical College, American Baptist College, Lipscomb Univ., and Belmont Univ. Points of interest include the capitol (completed 1855), with the tomb of James K. Polk; the War Memorial Building; Ryman Auditorium, the home of country music's Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974; the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum; the Bluebird Cafe, drawing songwriters and new and established performers; the Schermerhorm Symphony Center; a replica of Fort Nashborough; and several old churches and antebellum homes. The Predators (hockey) and Tennessee Titans (football) are the city's professional sports teams. Nearby is the Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson.

Moving on, now... can you guess that this picture is? Other than a stack of papers and file folders?
If you guessed that it is the pattern for Friends of Baltimore, you would be right! It is a huge pattern. As always, I have included lots of tips, pointers, how-tos, and instructions in each month's write-up. Hopefully, all that work will pay off with some quiltmakers who learn and some quiltmakers who have far less frustration. Once again... here is the quilt (and no, I have not added that last 1" border of half-square triangles yet; that comes next week and then I will start quilting. I am still debating silk batting versus other options.
The next quilt is Ruffled Roses - finally I can show it in all of its glory. I wanted The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims to have the honor of showing the quilt before I posted a photo... so now everyone else can see it here, too. It was a fun quilt to work on -- I loved making the pieced swag border, which echoes the inner appliqued swag border. It's always fun to think of new (to me, at least) concepts and figure out how to put them in a quilt.
I think that all of us would do a robin again in a heartbeat, but we are postponing such thoughts until at least Springtime. Our new challenge was thrown at us when we all started reading Pat Sloan's blog (http://patsloan.typepad.com/). She began posting a set of UFO (Unfinished Object) tips on Tuesdays and Thursdays from early October up until Thanksgiving... and we all started pulling out our UFOs and making confessions about how many we had. I lost count at 41 and that didn't even include the finished quilt tops that just need quilting! So we have now challenged each other to identify a UFO and finish it my March 2011. I have already almost finished the one I put at the top of my list. What was most amazing to me was Pat's disclosure, which I found was not unique to her, that ALL of her UFOs were projects that she was doing for herself - not for anyone else. What does that say about us?? So I have resolved to change that in the future and give myself some time to work on UFOs and other projects. Our UFO group started off by gathering for three days of doing nothing but power sewing -- sort of a day retreat without the interruptions of home or the sleeplessness of a retreat center. We worked hard... and maybe next month I will be able to show you progress on another new quilt!
Until next month... happy sewing, everyone! And most definitely, may the Yuletide season bring all of you smiles, joy, and surprises!

Last Judgment, a general, or sometimes individual, judging of the thoughts, words, and deeds of persons by God, the gods, or by the laws of cause and effect.
The Western prophetic religions (i.e., Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) developed concepts of the Last Judgment that are rich in imagery. Zoroastrianism, founded by the Iranian prophet Zoroaster, teaches that after death the soul waits for three nights by the grave and on the fourth day goes to the Bridge of the Requiter, where his deeds are weighed. If the good outweigh the bad, even if only slightly, the soul is able to cross the bridge to heaven; if the bad deeds outweigh the good, the bridge becomes too narrow for the soul to cross, and it plunges into the cold and dark abyss of hell. This is not the end, however, for there will be a final overthrow of Ahriman, the prince of demons, by Ahura Mazdā, the "Wise Lord," who will resurrect all human beings, preside over a Last Judgment, and restore the world to goodness.
Early Hebrew writers emphasized a day of the Lord. This day will be a day of judgment of Israel and all nations, as it will inaugurate a kingdom of the Lord.
Christianity teaches that all will stand to be judged by God at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In early Christian art the scene is one of Christ the judge, the resurrection of the dead, the weighing of souls, the separation of the saved and the damned, and representations of heaven and hell. Later, Romanesque artists produced a more terrible vision of the Last Judgment: Christ is shown as a stern judge, sometimes carrying a sword and surrounded by the four mystical beasts—eagle, lion, ox, and winged man—of the apocalypse; the contrast between paradise and hell is between the awesome and the ferocious. In the gentler, more humanistic art of the Gothic period, a beautiful Christ is shown as the Redeemer, his right side undraped to reveal the wound of the lance and both wounded hands raised high in a gesture that emphasizes his sacrifice. He is surrounded by the instruments of his Passion—cross, nails, lance, and crown of thorns. The intercessors are restored, and the scene of the Last Judgment is treated with optimism. In the 16th century, Michelangelo produced a radically different version of the Last Judgment in his fresco in the Sistine Chapel in Rome (1533–41): a vengeful Christ gestures menacingly toward the damned.
Islam likewise is rich in its imagery and conceptual expansion of the doctrine of the Last Judgment. The Day of Judgment is one of the five cardinal beliefs of Muslims. After death, persons are questioned about their faith by two angels: Munkar and Nakīr. If a person has been a martyr, his soul immediately goes to paradise; others go through a type of purgatory. At doomsday all persons will die and then be resurrected to be judged according to the records kept in two books, one containing a person's good deeds and the other his evil deeds. According to the weight of the book that is tied around a person's neck, he will be consigned to paradise or to hell.
Ancient Middle Eastern religions had also developed beliefs in a Last Judgment. In ancient Egyptian religion, for example, a dead person's heart was judged by being placed on a balance held by the god Anubis. If the heart was light, thus indicating a person's comparative goodness, the soul was allowed to go to the blessed region ruled by Osiris, god of the dead. If the heart was heavy, the soul might be destroyed by a hybrid creature called the Devouress.
In the Asian religions (e.g., Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism) that believe in reincarnation, the concept of a Last Judgment is not uncommon.

NCSE is pleased to congratulate, belatedly, the recipients of the Darwin-Wallace medals for 2008, who include one member and two Supporters of NCSE. In a press release dated May 27, 2008, the Council of the Linnean Society of London announced the award of thirteen medals for "major advances in evolutionary biology" since 1958 to Nick Barton, M. W. Chase, B. C. Clarke, Joseph Felsenstein (a member of NCSE), the late Stephen Jay Gould (a Supporter of NCSE), P. R. Grant, Rosemary Grant, J. L. B.
The third issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach -- the new journal aspiring to promote accurate understanding and comprehensive teaching of evolutionary theory for a wide audience -- is now available on-line.
Louisiana's Senate Bill 733, signed by Governor Bobby Jindal on June 25, 2008, continues to draw scrutiny. In New Scientist, Amanda Gefter reports (July 9, 2008), "The new legislation is the latest manoeuvre in a long-running war to challenge the validity of Darwinian evolution as an accepted scientific fact in American classrooms."
At a contentious public meeting in Mount Vernon, Ohio, on July 7, 2008, the district school board scheduled a hearing for teacher John Freshwater to contest his planned firing. Freshwater has been accused of teaching "intelligent design" creationism in his biology classes, and of using a piece of lab equipment to brand a cross on a student's arm.
As NCSE previously reported, Chris Comer, the former director of science at the Texas Education Agency who was forced to resign over a dispute involving "intelligent design" creationism, filed suit in federal court, seeking an injunction against TEA's "policy of neutrality with respect to the teaching of creationism in the Texas public schools."

Download the authoritative guide: Cloud Computing 2019: Using the Cloud for Competitive AdvantageMore than a year after the service was introduced, companies with mobile workers are finally starting to embrace the Wi-Fi technology that's available in some coffee shops, book stores and other public places.
Employees equipped with Wi-Fi-enabled laptop computers or personal digital assistants are using these Wi-Fi "hotspots" as virtual offices, stopping in to check e-mail, download documents, or communicate with co-workers. Sometimes they even take clients with them, knowing they can wirelessly connect while becoming wired on coffee.
"People in my field may leave the office with incomplete information and it's a bummer to stop back to the office to pick up tidbits of information," said Edward Krigsman, a top salesman with John L. Scott real estate in Seattle who uses the wireless network about once a day. "We just keep moving in our field and are not tethered to an office. Information is always aging in real estate and we need to keep current."
T-Mobile USA, Starbucks and Hewlett-Packard took the industry lead last year when they partnered to install Wi-Fi networks in 2,000 Starbucks stores. T-Mobile, a Bellevue, Wash.-based subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG, took over for MobileStar in November 2001. The Richardson, Texas, company went bankrupt after spending too much money to build networks in Starbucks stores and airports without attracting enough customers.
T-Mobile is now expanding the service into airports via alliances with American, Delta and United airlines. It plans to install networks in Borders Books and Music stores and cafes this year too.
Sprint PCS and Cometa Networks, backed by Intel, IBM and AT&T, plan to build nationwide Wi-Fi networks as well.
Starbucks, which is also running a trial in stores in London and Berlin, says the number of customers is growing steadily.
"It's been very successful," said Anne Sanders, vice president of Starbucks interactive, new ventures. She won't disclose specific customer numbers, but said "the utilization of the network is exceeding our expectations. The number of users and time on increases month to month."
To show its support for the service, Starbucks in January equipped 600 district managers with new Wi-Fi-enabled laptop computers so they could use the service in their stores and spend more time with their employees and customers.
Lisa Jansen, a district manager for Starbucks stores in Hillsboro, Ore., said having a Wi-Fi connection on her computer has changed the way she works. Instead of using a slow dial-up connection at her home to check e-mail or driving to the office, she goes directly to the stores she oversees.
"I can pull up recent sales, e-mail, pick up information from the intranet and I don't have to drive back to the district office. I spend more time in the store than the office," she said.
While Starbucks pays for its district managers' network connections, other companies that support the service still rely on employees to pay for it themselves.
John L. Scott chairman and CEO J. Lennox Scott praised the service when his agents started using it last August. But agent Krigsman still pays the monthly fees out of his own pocket.
The same is true for employees of BearingPoint, Inc. (formerly KPMG Consulting, Inc.), who piloted the program last year. Michael Surface, managing director for retail/wholesale, still uses his Wi-Fi connection to download information while on the road. But the company hasn't endorsed the technology by paying for Surface's access.
Nevertheless, the workers said they like it better than the alternative offered by most wireless carriers. Also called 802.11b and wireless local area network (WLAN), Wi-Fi technology competes with technology offered by wireless carriers who are upgrading their wireless voice networks to transfer data at speeds comparable to a dial-up modem.
Using unlicensed airwaves, Wi-Fi equipment costs less and users can connect at speeds up to 50 times faster than a dial-up modem.
Mobile workers say they like that because slow speeds don't limit the amount of data they can access.
Grassroots Phenomenon
Warren Wilson, practice director with market research firm Summit Strategies in Seattle, said he sees the Wi-Fi market taking off in 2003. That's in part because companies are installing wireless networks in their own offices and some are buying laptops that come equipped with Wi-Fi cards (Dell in January announced Wi-Fi will be standard equipment on two notebook computers now available in the U.S.).
"I think it will be a huge phenomenon," he said. "It is a grassroots phenomenon brought about by the widespread standard of 802.11 and the fact that it is all becoming so cheap. In terms of what corporations are doing, it's a mix of buying the requisite card for the employees, or agreeing to reimburse employees for the card because they recognize the productivity gains."
He predicts Wi-Fi technology will become increasingly available in office buildings, libraries, convention centers and hotels, continuing to fuel the adoption.
"I think 2003 is the year it becomes mainstream, at least within the business world," he said.
To standardize service, the Wi-Fi Alliance in January launched a program to create a global brand to make it easier to recognize public assess spots. Locations that qualify through an application process will be allowed to label themselves a "Wi-Fi ZONE" and to display a "ZONE" label.
Now public Wi-Fi networks are available only in the top 20 metropolitan areas of the country -- and in some limited locations abroad. As the networks spread, finding a Wi-Fi location will become even easier.
With growing use, however, comes growing problems. Mobile workers must still take precautions to make sure their own connections are secure by using virtual private networks and firewalls.
"Security is a big issue," Wilson said. "Much of the security problems with wireless LAN have been due to misadministration."
Starbucks and T-Mobile provide security information on their Web sites. But Starbucks has not yet included such information in its stores -- something Sanders said may be coming. Now, it's still up to customers to protect themselves.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets rebounded in afternoon action on Thursday, after data showed the U.S. economy grew at a solid pace in the fourth quarter, offsetting worries about Chinese manufacturing data pointing to a slowdown in the sector.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.23% gained 0.3% to close at 323.32, partly recovering from a 0.6% loss on Wednesday.
Among individual stocks, shares of Diageo PLC DGE, -0.67% lost 4.7% after the British drinks maker said demand had been volatile in emerging markets in the first half of its fiscal year, with sales in the Asia-Pacific region dropping 10%.
Hennes & Mauritz AB HMB, +0.48% HNNMY, -1.36% gave up 3.6% after the Swedish fashion retailer reported fourth-quarter profit that was below analysts' expectations.
On a more upbeat note, shares of Givaudan SA GIVN, -0.29% jumped 6.3% after the Swiss fragrance maker reported strong growth in the fourth quarter.
Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB, -0.76% RDS.B, -0.06% gained 1.1% after the U.K. oil major said it would suspend a drilling project in the U.S. Arctic and would look to improve returns. The company also reported a 71% decline in fourth-quarter profit largely due to rising costs and lower oil and gas volumes.
LM Ericsson Telefon AB ERICB, -1.04% climbed 3.5% after the telecom-equipment firm said it swung back to a profit in the fourth quarter, helped by a large patent-related payout from Samsung Electronics Co. 005930, +0.33%

The broader markets traded mainly in negative territory earlier in the day, but started moving higher after a report showed the U.S. economy expanded 3.2% in the fourth quarter last year.
The data came a day after the Federal Reserve said it would reduce its asset-purchase program by another $10 billion to bring it down to $65 billion a month, as expected. U.S. stocks, which had dropped on Wednesday, were gaining Thursday, with the Dow industrials up by triple digits.
China was also in the spotlight after the HSBC purchasing managers index fell to a final reading of 49.5 in January, slightly below a preliminary estimate of 49.6 and a signal the sector is contracting. When the flash estimate came out last week, economists hadn't expected the index to slip into contraction territory. The surprise sparked a wider selloff in emerging-markets assets and other perceived riskier papers, such as equities.
On the data front in Europe, a report from Spain showed the country's economic recovery picked up pace in the fourth quarter, with gross domestic product rising 0.3%. For the full year, the Spanish economy contracted 1.2%. The IBEX 35 index IBEX, +0.35% added 0.7% to 9,964.50.
In Germany, labor-market figures showed unemployment fell by 28,000 in January, better than the 5,000 expected.
The DAX 30 index DAX, -0.01% rose 0.4% to 9,373.48. France's CAC 40 index PX1, +0.30% picked up 0.6% to 4,180.02 and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.24% eased 0.1% to 6,538.45.
The London benchmark briefly jumped into positive territory in midday trade after shares of HSBC Holdings PLC HSBA, -0.33% HSBC, +1.01% 0005, +2.03% spiked 10%, in what traders attributed to a "fat-finger" trade. HSBC shares closed 0.6% higher.

Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: TripAdvisor, TravelZoo, Expedia and Priceline.com
Feb 08, 2013, 09:30 ET
CHICAGO, Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Features: TripAdvisor (Nasdaq: TRIP), TravelZoo (Nasdaq: TZOO), Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE) and Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN)

4 Stocks to Play the Global Travel Boom
There are a bunch of directions investors could go when looking for travel plays. The most obvious is the hotel and resort companies. The airlines and cruise ships are another.
But what about the companies that consumers go to to plan their trips? The Internet has revolutionized travel. Twenty years ago, to plan a trip, you'd have to go to a travel agent with your ideas of your trip and the best you could do was to pick up some brochures.
Now, travelers have the world at their fingertips on the Internet but that has caused its own problems as there is so much information, who has time to sort through it all?
Companies that present the easiest way to search through information are moving to the forefront of the travel industry. Traveling has gone social in a big way. Travelers want to make connections with other travelers and they want deals. Companies that give travelers these two basic things will thrive.
And while you may think that some of these companies have been around a number of years so that there isn't much growth, they are still finding it in the emerging market countries where the middle class is expanding. A growing middle class means more discretionary spending money which should translate into more travel.
4 Companies Cashing In On The Dream Trip
- TripAdvisor
- TravelZoo
- Expedia
- Priceline.com
TripAdvisor (Nasdaq: TRIP)
TripAdvisor is the largest online travel research company in the world. Who doesn't go on it and dream of that dream vacation every once in awhile- especially in the midst of winter's cold and snow?
It offers reviews of hotels, restaurants and attractions around the world. It operates tripadvisor sites in 30 countries as well as China, which operates under the brand daodao.com. In 2012, TripAdvisor was averaging about 60 million unique monthly visitors.
In the third quarter of 2012, TripAdvisor made 79% of its revenue from click-based advertising, 11% from display-based advertising and 10% from subscription.
The company was spun off from Expedia in 2011 and shares have had a rocky ride during that however they recently hit a new all-time high.
For a company trading with a forward P/E of 28, expected earnings growth isn't that great for 2012. But earnings are supposed to ramp up in 2013.
2012 expected earnings growth of 5%
2013 expected earnings growth of 20.3%
TripAdvisor is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). It reports first quarter earnings on Feb 13.
TravelZoo (Nasdaq: TZOO)
TravelZoo is a particular favorite of travel fans dreaming of that "too good to pass up" dream trip. Every Wednesday, it blasts out the TravelZoo Top 20 deals to its 26 million subscribers in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
TravelZoo has had 1.5 million downloads of its smart phone app. It isn't restricted solely to travel as it also publishes deals on restaurants and entertainment.
On Jan 24, TravelZoo reported its fourth quarter results and it beat the Zacks Consensus by 9%. Revenue rose 5% to $37 million. TravelZoo is the smallest of these four stock picks with a market cap of only $329 million.
The stock soared in 2011 to $100 a share before crashing back to earth. It has traded in a narrow range since.
Shares aren't cheap though. TravelZoo trades with a forward P/E of 17.2. Earnings growth is also expected to be negative in 2013.
2013 expected earnings growth of -7.5%.
TravelZoo is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE)
Expedia is one of the world's largest online travel agents with its Expedia.com brand available in 30 countries. It also operates hotels.com, hotwire.com, Venere and eLong, China's second largest online travel agency.
On Feb 5, the company reported its fourth quarter results and it beat the Zacks Consensus by 2 cents. Revenue rose 24% while gross bookings jumped 19%. Its biggest growth region was Asia-Pacific. International bookings were up 32% in the quarter.
Expedia is not resting on its laurels. It will acquire a 61.6% stake in Germany's trivago, a hotel metasearch company, for $647 million. Its expected to close in the first half of 2013.
The earnings growth is still there.
Expected 2013 earnings growth of 16.4%
Expected 2014 earnings growth of 20.6%
The shares are at two year highs. They're not exactly cheap as Expedia trades at 20x forward estimates. It's a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN)
Priceline.com is one of the world's largest online travel agents. It operates a bunch of travel sites including Priceline.com, booking.com, agoda.com and rentalcars.com. Most are familiar with Priceline's "name your price" promotion with William Shatner.
But booking.com has been its key to growth over the last several years. Booking.com is the largest hotel booking site in the world. Headquartered in Europe, and concentrating on the European market, booking.com wasn't launched in the United States until 2008.
The company isn't afraid of acquiring companies to extend its growth. In November 2012, Priceline.com announced it was acquiring airline fare site Kayak for $1.8 billion. It's expected to close in the first quarter of 2013.
Shares have soared over the last few years as growth has surged. Priceline.com is still an aggressive growth story.
Expected 2012 earnings growth: 33%
Expected 2013 earnings growth: 21%
But the secret is out. Like its peers, Priceline.com isn't cheap either. It trades with a forward P/E of 19.3, well above the average of the S&P 500 of 13.5. It's a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Priceline.com is scheduled to report fourth quarter 2012 earnings results on Mar 4.

Gene Talks to Billboard
by Gary Graff, Detroit/Billboard.com
KISS For Kids could well be the theme of the iconic rock group's just-started North American tour.
In a novel move for its amphitheater dates, the costumed quartet is giving free lawn tickets to up to four children with each paying adult.
"It's time to give back," bassist Gene Simmons explains to Billboard.com, adding that KISS -- which is also donating $1 per ticket to the Wounded Warrior foundation -- hopes to show the youths "that there's another world out there besides Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. It's important for them to see how the big boys do it. There's no tapes. There's no background singers backstage. There's no click tracks. It's important for the kids to see that whatever you see on stage is real. We want to spread this. I'm insulted by any act that goes up there with dancers and tapes. It's insulting."
KISS hopes to snare the kids more in the near future via an animated program that's being produced in partnership with E1 Entertainment and will feature the four KISS members as characters. Simmons says he hopes to have the program on air "in the next six months."
Meanwhile, he and his bandmates are planning to give fans old and young alike a freshened KISS show after focusing on the group's "Alive!" album -- which turns 35 this year -- during last year's road trek. "Technology has enabled us to do all kinds of wacky stuff," Simmons explains, while the repertoire includes three songs from last year's "Sonic Boom" album -- "Modern Day Delilah," "Say Yeah" and "Animal" -- as well as the seldom-performed "Crazy Nights." And drummer Eric Singer will be taking over the Peter Criss-sung smash "Beth" each night.
"It's acoustic -- there will be no tapes, just two acoustic guitars and bass and that's it," says Simmons, adding that KISS had previously kept the song out of the shows "out of deference to Peter Criss," who has left the band three times, most recently in 2004. "We still have a tug of the heart...Peter and Ace [Frehley] are beloved, as well they should be for the beginning, for helping launch the band. But it's important to note that with them in the band today, KISS wouldn't be around."
Simmons says KISS is anxious to work on a follow-up to "Sonic Boom," the group's first new studio album in 11 years. But he won't guess when that will be. "I think we'll do another one, but we need time," Simmons explains, noting the group's heavy touring schedule as well as his continuing "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" reality series on A&E and co-founder Paul Stanley's burgeoning art career.
The next KISS project will likely be a fourth version of the popular "KISSology" DVD series, which Simmons says is coming "soon" and will feature "some new stuff but some stuff nobody's ever seen before, going all the way back to 1973." The group is also expecting to film a third commercial for Dr. Pepper in the near future.
Pacific University Oregon's Joe Lang reports:
KISS founding member GENE SIMMONS will join the band's lead guitarist, Portland-area native Tommy Thayer, for Pacific University's 2010 Legends Golf Classic, hosted by Thayer on August 1st and 2nd at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club in Aloha. Producers from A&E's hit television series Gene Simmons Family Jewels will film portions of the event to chronicle golf novice Simmons' attempt at the sport. Prior to hitting the links on Monday, Augugust 2nd, Thayer will partake in a private concert on Sunday night with other celebrity musicians on hand, led by bassist and vocalist Jack Blades (NIGHT RANGER, DAMN YANKEES). Joining Blades and Thayer on stage will be Mark Bryan (HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH), Ray Kennedy, Johnny Lee and Danny Seraphine (CHICAGO).
Team and individual reservations for the Legends Golf Classic are still available, but filling up quickly. To register, go to this location or call (503) 352-2211.

For the Term of His Natural Life
Echo Library, Sep 1, 2007 - Fiction - 396 pages
The most famous work by the Australian novelist and poet, For the Term of His Natural Life is a powerful tale of an Australian penal settlement, which originally appeared in serial form in a Melbourne paper.
What people are saying - Write a review
An enjoyable trip into a literary style of preumable typical of Australia in the 1870's. The language and the unlikely coincidences and behaviours on which the plot depends add to my sense of a period morality play. Nevertheless, the detail of the description of both the treatment of convicts and the physical locations adds great power and interest. I often read "historical novels" specifically to gain a more intimate sense of the personal experience. I try to select authors based on evidence that they have done serious research or are generally expert in the era. I am sure that this trust is often misplaced as all authors serve their art before the truth. I canot even say that the best of artists create art closely around the truth e.g. the political propoganda built into Shakespeare's brilliant plays such as Richard III. When interested in historical topic, I try to add vicarious experience to the wikipedia articles (Yes, I trust them !) by reading historical novels that I beleive are based on the artists best effort at accurate and objective research. It seems trite to focus on the general brutality of the times as compared to the present, as Clarke seems to do even about events so comparatively recent to him. The times were brutal - the experience of navy sailors, the experience of injured commanders, the experience of any person suffering from disease or starvation. The behaviour of penal institutions need to put into the context of the common experiences of the times. Clarke seems to have done research on the recent past in Australia and Tasmania, and makes an attempt to balance of characters and events on both sides of the prison door while passionately expounding on the unfairness of fate and the susceptibility of any power to corruption.

Special Ceremony – which the Public Is Invited to Attend – Will Celebrate the Bucs' Home Opener against the New Orleans Saints
TREASURE ISLAND, FL (Monday, September 10, 2013): By special proclamation of Mayor Bob Minning, the City of Treasure Island, Florida will change its name to "Revis Island, Florida" on Thursday, September 12 at 2pm. The ceremony will take place at The Club at Treasure Island (400 Treasure Island Causeway). The public is invited to attend and encouraged to wear Bucs colors, jerseys and apparel to the event, which will honor the Buccaneers' newly-acquired, four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis. Buccaneers cheerleaders, mascot and front office representatives are expected to be in attendance.
"Despite Sunday's heartbreaking loss to the Jets, we're still very excited about the upcoming season," explained Treasure Island Mayor Bob Minning. "Darrelle Revis was an outstanding offseason acquisition. We wanted to welcome Mr. Revis to our island community and celebrate the Bucs' 2013 home opener in a fun, family-friendly way. Go Bucs!"
According to the mayoral proclamation, on Thursday, September 12, Treasure Island, Florida will hereby become "Revis Island, Florida" for one day – and Revis Island is described in the proclamation as "an island filled with interceptions, touchdown returns and batted passes."
"I'm honored and humbled to receive this special honor from the City of Treasure Island," said Revis. "Ever since I became a Buccaneer, the support I've received from the Tampa Bay community has been tremendous. I'll do my best to live up to this honor on Sunday afternoon in our home opener against the New Orleans Saints."
When asked to describe the differences between Treasure Island and Revis Island, Mayor Minning paused briefly before replying: "In Treasure Island, we have the most beautiful beaches in all of Tampa Bay, and we always remind beachgoers to wear the appropriate sun screen. But I guess at Revis Island, you don't need any sun screen – because at Revis Island, you're ALWAYS covered!"
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, September 15 at 4:05 pm in the 2013 regular season home opener. For tickets, please visit www.buccaneers.com, or call 866.582.2827.

How To Find A Quality Bail Bondsman
If you are contacted by a friend or loved one who has been arrested, you'll need to find out where he is incarcerated and the amount of bail that has been set. Speak with the booking officer, either by phone or in person, and ask for help in finding a bail bondsman (assuming you are unable or unwilling to advance the entire amount yourself).
Although law enforcement personnel are not permitted to give you a specific recommendation, they are able to guide you through the process of locating a licensed, legitimate bonding company. Often, there will be an office on the premises of the police station, in which case you can rest assured that you are dealing with a trustworthy legal entity.
If you have any doubts as to the legitimacy of the bondsman, ask to see his license or check out his particulars on-line to verify that he does have the required qualifications, which include a mandatory state license.
Anyone who has ever watched a legal or police procedural television show has at least a perfunctory knowledge of bail, but not everyone knows exactly what it means. Briefly, a bail or surety bond is a sum of money posted by a police detainee which is designed to ensure the appearance of the defendant at his trial.
Often, minor infractions incur a predetermined amount that can be paid on the spot at the time of arrest. Greater offenses, however, require a hearing during which a judge decides the amount of surety necessary.
It should be noted that a surety bond is not meant as a punitive measure, but rather as a financial incentive to keep a suspected miscreant from fleeing, while still allowing him the freedom to go about his business while awaiting trial.
This opportunity is provided because everyone is innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law.
Bail is granted in virtually all civil cases and in a large percent of criminal cases, as well. Only when the offender is accused of homicide or other heinous felony, presents a serious flight risk or appears to be a danger to the community will bail be denied. The amount set by the judge is decided on a case-to-case basis and is often a subject of argument between the prosecutor and the defense attorney.
Generally speaking, the greater the crime, the greater the amount required to release the defendant. Depending on circumstances, the amount can range from less than a few hundred dollars to seven figures in high profile cases.
Four states have banned commercial surety bonding (Oregon, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin). These states have a state-run program that generally requires you to pay ten percent of the bail amount. In all other states, expect to pay a commercial bail bondsman ten to fifteen percent of the total amount.
For example, if the amount is set at $10,000, you will need to provide $1000 to $1500 to secure the release of the prisoner. This portion of the money is a non-refundable fee charged by the bonding company; the balance is returned to them after the trial begins.
Until that time, the defendant will be placed in your custody and may proceed with his normal activities until the trial date. One word of caution: if the defendant skips town, you will be responsible for the entire amount, so it's in your best interests to see that he shows up.

Third career honors
MACON, Ga. (Feb. 27, 2013) – ETSU senior Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) defeated the ITA's 21st-ranked singles player, Nathan Pasha of Georgia, on Monday and was rewarded by being named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Wednesday.
Bandres took on Pasha at No. 1 singles, defeating the nationally ranked Bulldog, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, 1-0 (12-10). The loss was just the second Pasha has suffered to an unranked opponent on the entire 2012-13 campaign, but No. 8 Georiga found a way to escape ETSU, 5-2.
The win moved Bandres' overall record to 11-10 and 5-2 in dual play. Bandres is 2-1 against nationally ranked opponents this year, having also defeated then-No. 75 Victor Valente of Georgia State earlier this month.
The weekly award is the third of Bandres' collegiate career. The Buccaneers have received two A-Sun honors this season, with Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain) earning the others the week of Jan. 30.
No. 60 ETSU (4-4) opens conference play Friday, heading to Spartanburg, S.C., for a 1 p.m., showdown against USC Upstate.
