2014 State of the State Address
Much like the president's State of the Union Address to Congress, each year the Georgia governor gives a speech to the General Assembly called the State of the State Address. Both chambers come together to hear the Governor set the tone of the session, discuss the topics of the year and then present his recommended budget.
This year, Governor Nathan Deal focused on three reasons why the state has weathered the "Great Recession," outlining successes and promising further improvements.
Lower Taxes
Over the past few years, Georgia has experienced a real tax reform, Governor Deal said. The state has:
- Eliminated the sales tax on energy for the manufacturing sector;
- Removed the marriage tax penalty for working Georgia couples;
- Abolished the annual birthday tax for vehicles.
Governor Deal emphasized his belief in keeping taxes low. "Just as an individual cannot borrow their way out of debt, governments cannot tax their way out of a recession," he said.
All of these tax reforms and the constant focus of keeping taxes low has helped make Georgia a business-friendly state, he said.
Job Creation
Governor Deal pointed out that in three years, Georgia has created about 217,000 new jobs - forcing the state's unemployment rate to its lowest in five years.
To help keep jobs in Georgia, Deal proposed budgeting $35 million to deepen the Port of Savannah. He predicted that if this passes, it will allow for digging to begin this year.
Governor Deal attributed Georgia's increased job growth rate to having:
- Favorable tax policies;
- Adequate infrastructure;
- Availability of a trained and reliable workforce.
To have a trained and reliable workforce, Georgia must continue to stay focused on education, Governor Deal said in his speech. Education is typically one of the biggest parts of the budget — representing half of all spending. Governor Deal said he wants to continue to focus on technical colleges and our pre-k through high school system.
Technical Colleges
Last year, Governor Deal stressed driving, practical nursing and early childhood education as main areas for technical colleges to focus on. This year, he wants to expand that list to an additional four areas of training:
- Welding
- Health care technology
- Diesel mechanics
- Information technology
To keep emphasis on these areas and technical colleges as a whole, Governor Deal proposed a new Zell Miller HOPE Grant for technical students that would cover 100% of tuition for those with a 3.5 GPA or higher. He also budgeted $10 million for a 1% interest loan program devoted solely to students at technical schools.
Lastly, Governor Deal wants to create the Governor's High Demand Career Initiative. This initiative would let the state know what exactly employers need in Georgia so schools can educate our students and get ahead of the curve. The program involves a collaboration between the Department of Economic Development, the University System of Georgia, technical colleges and schools and key leaders in private-sector industries.
Pre-K through High School
Governor Deal proposed that $8 billion be allotted in next year's budget for K-12 education. This is the largest single year increase in seven years.
Governor Deal and the First Lady want to keep an emphasis on reading to provide a strong foundation in Georgia students. He also aimed to connect Georgia classrooms to the digital age with Internet and digital resources in every classroom in Georgia--including rural areas. He emphasized the importance of online learning in today's world.
Criminal Justice Reform
Governor Deal outlined a three-pronged reform plan to keep prison finances low, keep people thinking smart rather than in a revolving door of crime, and keep people in jobs rather than jail. In the previous two sessions, the General Assembly passed criminal justice and juvenile justice reform to address the first two goals.
This year, Governor Deal introduced the third prong: better equipping offenders for the workforce. He proposed more education and job training to help offenders find work after prison, thus allowing them to reenter regular life rather than being stuck in a cycle of crime. "He who opens a school door, closes a prison," Deal said, quoting the French author Victor Hugo.
Governor Deal said he has high hopes and ambitions for this year's legislative session, focusing on the importance of education and job growth. To read the full speech, check the Governor's website.

Devastating Reason This Poor Baby's Death Was Shown On TV
The incredibly tragic death of nine-month-old baby Leyton has been broadcast during an episode of UK-based hospital documentary, Inside Birmingham Children's Hospital.
The tiny tot was rushed to the emergency department after eating and choking on a piece of plastic; when Leyton's father discovered he had stopped breathing, he called 000 and was instructed to begin chest compressions.
Once at the hospital, doctors managed to get his little heart beating again, but Leyton sadly never woke up from the induced coma he was placed in to help him recover.
Now the boy's parents, Adam and Serena, are explaining the heart-breaking reason they decided to let cameras keep rolling while medical staff battled to save their son.
"We didn't expect to want to continue in the event of losing our beautiful boy," Serena told Birmingham Mail. "But once it became clear that Leyton wasn't going to get any better, we both felt an overwhelming sense of wanting to do something to raise awareness.
"All parents know the dangers of choking, but even when you think you've done all you can to protect your baby, accidents can always happen.
"If, by watching this programme, it makes parents even more aware of hazards, and saves just one little life and another family going through what we did and continue to struggle with for the rest of lives, then his life wasn't in vain."
The episode followed the family over the course of a harrowing week, documenting not only the nine-month-old's treatment, but how staff at the hospital helped Adam, Serena and Leyton's brother Cooper come to terms with their loss.
"It's almost like you don't feel like you," Serena explained. "There's that emptiness. It consumes your whole body. It's a strange feeling.
"I've lost the most precious thing you could lose but we still have life."
Adam agreed, adding: "Just think of the good times with Leyton, that's how I get through it.
"Just think of his smiley little face."

Anniversaries are "Special"
August 29, 2011 by Judy Trull
Today August 28th, 29 years ago, my husband Tim and I were married in the Base Chapel on Eielson AFB outside of Fairbanks Alaska. We were so young, Tim had just turned 25 and I was a week away from turning 21. We gathered with friends and exchanged vows and went straight into party mode, and to be honest our life hasn't always been a party, but we have had plenty of adventures and laughs along the way. So to honor everyone who is celebrating an anniversary from now until the end of September, stay with us at Lindsay House Bed & Breakfast and enjoy $29 off your stay per night!

May the odds be ever in your favour!
We're having just a blast with the Canadian Literary Hunger Games! As many of you might know by now, as a nod to this phenomenon and the movie that just opened, the brilliant folks at CBC Books (part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) came up with the idea of having a CanLit Hunger Games. 12 male characters from Canadian fiction and 12 female were chose as 'tributes'. For this unfamilair (as I was until recently) with the idea....these characters are pitted against each other in combat, and only one is the ultimate survivor.
In the CanLit version the characters remain alive thanks to the votes of readers.
One of the Canadian literary characters in the Hunger Games is Armand Gamache!
Over the course of the past two weeks, readers have been voting - and characters have been 'killed off'. It has been increasingly fun and increasingly unnerving. Very strange to feel that Armand is actually fighting for his life and only our votes will keep him alive. And, as the Games have progressed, it become increasingly brutal, with the lead swinging wildly....but for the past few days it has come down to three competitors.
Xavier Bird - the main character in Joseph Boyden's award winning book Three Day Road
Anne of Green Gables - everyone's 'kindred spirit', who has done her best to kill Armand
And, our own chief Inspector Gamache!
Thanks to your voting, Armand pulled ahead a few days ago, and has remained there - though it has been extremely close, within a fraction of a percentage point at times!
I have to say, I've been so deeply moved by your commitment to helping Gamache.
Thank you, thank you. Merci! And now we're at the final day - the competition closes tonight and the winner will be announced tomorrow.
Anne of Green Gables is surging....and Xavier's fans are loyal and passionate and want their guy to win. Armand is far from safe. But whatever happens, I want you to know how grateful I am. I know it's a game, but it's been wonderful to have such magnificent support!
The best character will win, be it Gamache or Anne or Xavier - but I feel Armand has already won...who wouldn't feel like a winner after seeing such support from all of you?
And I want to again congratulate CBC Books for a simply brilliant idea, one that bring the characters to life, and makes it fun and riveting, thrilling and moving. And make it clear that Canadian literature is all of those things, and more. Bravo.
And bravo to you - for breathing life into Armand - and doing your best to keep it there.
On another note - the writing for the next Chief Inspector Gamache book is going well - almost at 30,000 words for the first draft (which is normally about 120,000 by the time i'm finished the draft....so about a quarter through). It's sometimes terrifying, but mostly it is such fun...can hardly wait to get at the manuscript each day. Phew!
Off today to speak at a brunch celebrating the centenary of the Lennoxville Library. love that library! When I was with CBC Radio we did a few remote broadcasts from there. When I'm writing now I decline all speaking engagements - but I agreed to this one because it was this library. Looking forward to it.
Then tomorrow, Michael and I head to England! A few days at an inn in the Cotswolds, visiting a friend of Michael's (and mine) in a nearby village, then we've rented a flat in Knightsbridge until May. Wow! I love London...hope you do too, cause you're coming with us!
Hope this finds you well and thriving - and thank you again, for all your support - with the Hunger Games - and with so much more.

Monsieur Armand has just got my vote - and he is currently in the lead! I am convinced that he had helped me to get a new job (finally) and I am ever grateful to Him and his Creator.
Louise, may I wish you and Michael 'bon voyage' across the Atlantic, and please do not forget those of us who read this blog, post as often as you can. Thanks.

Just voted again. I do love Armand, and would love to see him still standing at the end of the contest.

I am a new reader of your books. Just finished listening to the first one, Still Life. I must say the narrator, Ralph Cosham, made your characters come alive for me. Hope Armand Gamache wins the CanLit games.

Can you tell us why you are going to the UK for over a month? Does it have to do with a plot? Regardless, I wish you a wonderful trip and am excited to come along!

I've been to London once and long to return. Guess I'll have to settle by going vicariously with you and Michael.

I have voted several times, and I am pleased to see Gamache in his rightful place. As for London, I'm looking forward to the trip :)

For some reason the the voting portion of the page is now unavailable with hours to go......I don't understand it.

I love London. Can't wait to go. Vive Gamache! I love Gamache... you as well for bring him to life.

London... for 1 month... WOW!!
It's my favorite city in the world!
Have a good trip, Louise ;-))

PHOENIX — The prosecutor and defense attorney in Jodi Arias' murder trial are presenting dueling portraits of the victim, that of a man who feared for his life as he tried to distance himself from her and a manipulative liar who courted multiple women while claiming to be a virgin, as Arias' team works to build sympathy with jurors and the state tries to keep the focus on the killing and Arias' lies.
Psychotherapist Alyce LaViolette has been testifying for more than a week about her conclusion that Arias was a victim of physical and emotional abuse by the victim.
Under heated questioning by prosecutor Juan Martinez this week, LaViolette acknowledged that Arias' one-time boyfriend Travis Alexander had made comments to at least one person that he was "extremely afraid" of Arias as she stalked him while he pursued other relationships.
However, defense attorney Jennifer Willmott reminded LaViolette that after the couple's breakup about a year before the killing, Alexander maintained contact with Arias, even inviting her to his home. LaViolette said she did not view this as the behavior of a man who feared for his life.
Arias says the killing was self-defense, and that on the day of Alexander's death in June 2008 at his suburban Phoenix home, he attacked her and she was forced to fight for her life.
However, no other evidence — other than Arias' accounts — have been presented at trial showing Alexander had ever been physically violent.
Authorities say Arias planned the attack in a fit of jealous rage after their breakup as Alexander saw other women. She initially denied involvement then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
She faces a possible death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder.
On Thursday, Willmott questioned LaViolette about the prosecution's contention that Arias was jealous of Alexander's relationships with other women, noting the defendant had begun to date other men and joined a Mormon singles website.
LaViolette said she saw no evidence of jealousy and noted that Arias had begun to "pull away."
Willmott also noted how Alexander wrote in his journal about Arias' decision to move from Arizona after their breakup, and how he described it would be "good for both of them."
"Is there anything in his journals about him fearing her?" Willmott asked.
"No, there isn't anything in his journals about him fearing her," LaViolette replied.
Alexander was a Mormon and active in the church, even recruiting Arias to convert to the faith. He portrayed himself to be a virgin to many friends and family, while simultaneously courting multiple women for sexual relationships, a duplicity the defense has seized on throughout the trial.
"Are you aware that Mr. Alexander portrayed himself as a virgin?" Willmott asked.
"Yes," LaViolette said.
"Is there deception there?" Willmott prodded.
"Yes," the witness replied. "He's leading a double life."
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head and had his throat slit. Arias' palm print was found in blood at the scene, along with photos of her and Alexander from the day of the killing.
The trial has dragged on for more than three months, often devolving into bizarre testimony about graphic sexual encounters and the tale of Snow White and whether she, too, was a domestic abuse victim, as the prosecutor worked to undermine LaViolette's credibility.
The case has grown into a worldwide sensation as thousands of fans follow the trial via a live, unedited web feed. Twitter has blown up with comments, as spectators express their opinions from afar on everything from Arias' wardrobe to Martinez's angry demeanor, tweeting insults and praise for everyone involved. For its growing number of fans, the Arias trial has become a live daytime soap opera.
People have flown in from around the country for a chance to score just a few open public seats in the gallery each day, lining up early in the morning as they're chosen on a first-come, first-served basis.
Arias also is purportedly making money off her notoriety, selling jail art work online through a personal website that also accepts donations. The website offers authenticity in the form of the following: "All pieces created after January 26, 2013 are authenticated with Jodi Arias' right thumbprint."
Her mother, Sandra Arias, said Thursday that the site is, indeed, Jodi's. The money is being used to help pay for family expenses while attending the trial, she said.
Asked if the drawings are selling well, Sandra Arias replied, "Oh yeah."
She declined to discuss it further, and The Associated Press wasn't immediately able to confirm the website's authenticity. No law prevents Arias from profiting from her notoriety given she hasn't been convicted of a crime.
The site claims to have sold several pieces, including a drawing of Frank Sinatra for $1,075.
One piece on the site, described as graphite on "acid-free archive paper" is being offered for $2,000, shipping included.

When he lived in Oakland, CA, GLCA New Writer's Award Winner Don Waters lived across the street from a mortuary and down the block from a crematorium.
"I was interested in what really happened there," Waters told Wabash students, faculty, and guests during a reading from his book Desert Gothic in Center Hall Monday night. "I went to the crematorium and talked to a guy who worked there, and he walked me through."
The result of that tour is the short story "What We Do With The Dead," the opening tale in Desert Gothic, winner of the 2007 Iowa Short Fiction Award.
"This is a sad moment for me," Waters confessed, noting his Wabash reading was the final stop on his GLCA tour. "I've enjoyed these readings a great deal, and they will be the last for this book."
"What We Do With The Dead" proved a memorable finale.
"Don Waters' characters, no matter how unusual, all convince me of their presence," Assistant Professor of English Eric Freeze said in his introduction of the author. Waters proceeded to prove his point, introducing his Wabash audience to Mel, the crematorium worker with "ginger-colored eyes" who has a clause in his will to provide for his calico cat; and Peter, the manager, "one of the unlucky ones," who has a deformed cranium and keeps his head tilted to the left.
"What We Do with the Dead" compares the work of Mel and Peter to that of Waters' central character, an artist whose girlfriend left him for his "lack of emotional depth" and who says near the beginning of the story, "I didn't believe in ghosts. I painted. Life was filled with too many choices."
But when the artist takes a job delivering urns of cremated remains to their loved ones, he becomes the courier of the ashes of Mary Ellis, a young woman, a suicide, to her father in the middle of the Nevada desert. That encounter and his own anger and sorrow afterward move him to create an unexpected rite of remembrance. He drives away and off the highway to "a little piece of nowhere" and pours the ashes onto the ground, lighting a fire over them with his cigarette lighter, using the $90 he'd won from a slot machine as fuel.
"In the end the thing that remained was heat, not smoke," the artist said earlier of the cremation process. But in his ritual for Mary, heat, smoke, and "pieces of feathery ash vanish into a sky pulsing with fragments of white light."
In a review of Desert Gothic, author Amy Hempel wrote that "Don Waters does a brilliant job of showing the small heroic acts that reverberate in the lives of his characters and in the minds of a reader." Answering a student's question after the reading, Waters commented:"I tend to paint my characters not kindly, but I want to give them moments of grace."
He advised young writers in the audience to "find a character you want to be with, and put obstacles in his way."
"Trust where you come from," he added, noting that some of the students he has taught at New Mexico State University come from Roswell [often dubbed "the UFO Capital of the World"], and don't think to write about their own hometown. "They can't believe anyone would be interested—and they're from Roswell!
Waters' visit to Wabash included a lunch meeting earlier in the day with the College's aspiring writers and is the penultimate event of a visiting writers series this academic year that also included authors Benjamin Percy and Jonathan Lethem. GLCA New Writers Award in Poetry winner Aracelis Girmay will present a reading on Monday, March 22.

bummer.. as if kids don't have enough scatter brain adults acting like children.. and make-believe guilt providing sky daddy pfffft! ha funny story
Not from my parents but the minister, lay minister, deacons and even some of the parishioners were quick to point out your sins and how it would land you in hell. I remember a Sunday school teacher constantly warning us about the sin of dancing.
No, churchgoing was a serious matter, but my parents were not like this. Punishment was physical with no added religious commentary. I'm just glad you're objective and rational about the whole thing. Be kind and supportive to your brothers. One day tell them what you think -- as long as you're sure they won't "go back and tell" on you.
Nathan makes a good point: you may at some time be able to help your brothers develop some perspective in all this. Being both older and a girl gives you a different way of seeing some things. You don't want to risk losing your parents' good graces, but you might be able to say something like "Not everybody thinks what you did is so horrible." Be careful and don't take chances, but if he or another brother really begins to obsess over this sort of thing, you could really be a great help.
True that.
Ugh, so sorry for the ugly religious "fear of god" speak. That would be the literal child abuse by religion.
I'm sure it's a different dynamic in every household. The way I would handle it is to tell the youngster the truth:
"Swearing happens. It happens and we KNOW it's going on. We EXPECT YOU not to abuse the swear words (or better to not use them at all). People who overdue the swearing are unintelligent and trying to hard to make themselves more noticeable. -You understand that? THAT IS NOT YOU. Our family only uses swear words when they're called for, and technically that's NEVER. But in extreme situations they do come out. So carry on, and DO NOT disappoint us. -you're better than that ok."
Actually I've already had this talk with my girls. Parents are FOOLING themselves (par for the religious) if they think their kids have virgin ears and tongues. The kids must hear swears 10 times a day and all the time. The trick is to convey that there's a proper time and place for it.
@ least -i think- yer parents are not this fubar:
"The husband told investigators that Solomon believed her family was going to face hardship from President Barack Obama's re-election," CBS News reported.
He is in critical condition at a Scottsdale, Ariz. medical center, while she "was booked on an aggravated assault and domestic violence," the report said.

Words carry ideas. By making certain words taboo, a group of people can implicitly get a consensus that there exist ideas that are bad to even consider. Usually, the profanity is tied to a specific action or way of identifying people. The religious are not the only ones that exercise thought control by designating a word as profane. Humanist would count racial epithets as a form of profanity. In many instances, the one who uses the prohibited words is viewed as less educated or less sophisticated than those who don't use those words. This view is present regardless of whether or not the observer agrees with the ideas that make these words profane. The last reason listed is the only reason that I have found compelling, in the past, to not use these words. However, as I get older and a little more secure, I find my self caring less about what other people think of me. My language reflects this as well.

He claimed that for ALL collector's objects prices are bound to drop eventually. This would be due to the fact that those objest generally attract the attention of a specific generation of buyers, but as soon as the interest of this generation fades (or when that generation simply dies) , the prices of the objects will automatically drop. Maybe this tendency can already be seen in the shift of high prices from roots to digi objects, as Ringo already notified.
finbar wrote:Even if prices stay "the same", you have to factor inflation: when you look at what record prices were in the 60's and 70's, they seem very cheap, but when you factor what working wages were at the time, they weren't. So a record worth $100 today may be worth, for example, $200 in 20 years, but what will $200 actually be able to buy you in 20 years?
The internet created a ground-swell of interest by spreading the music, but more importantly, it created a large market-place that aggregates those with both the means and interest to buy old records. This is great if you live in a country that doesn't sell a lot of records locally, but frustrating if you do, because many of the record shows and stores today just sell what they can't peddle on e-bay.
Personally I think that some records will become much more expensive over time, but the majority of them will depreciate. Vinyl is trendy now, but the next generation will be pretty much all "digital" (Yes, I know that vinyl sounds better, but people time and time again seem to opt for convenience over quality).
I appreciate entities like DKR, who release hard-to-find records at reasonable prices. I know some "collectors" don't like this, but if you buy music for it's perceived future value, you have to accept the risk that comes with speculation. But if you buy music solely because you enjoy the tunes you are buying, you can never go wrong.
jah_vaults wrote:I doubt if a seven inch record which now costs 6.00 or 7.00 or even more will even sell in the future for the same price it was bought
Vinnie wrote:i think all depends on the demand (im only talking about new tunes and not the second hand market)
i think when 10.000 records are sold of one tune price per record will drop but if, like nowadays only 300 to 500 copies are pressed of a certain tune, price will rise.
also vinyl is an oilbased product. productionprices tend to rise too.

ACC announces early season gametime and TV schedule
|2013-05-23 15:39:19.0-
GREENSBORO, N.C.—A fourth straight appearance in prime time for the Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game and 11 national exposures in the first three weeks of the season, including six national TV appearances on the opening weekend of the year, headline the Atlantic Coast Conference early season TV football schedule announced Thursday by the ACC.
The schedule includes all of the ACC's games for the first three weeks of the season, with the exception of a few road non-conference games which are controlled by the host teams' conferences, as well as four of five Thursday night contests which will be nationally televised by ESPN.
The 2013 Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game, which will be played for the fourth consecutive year in Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium, is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7, and will have a nationally televised kickoff time of either 7:45 p.m. (on ESPN) or 8 p.m. ET (on ABC).
The first of five ACC appearances on ESPN's Thursday night package opens the 2013 football season when North Carolina faces South Carolina at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C., on Thursday, Aug. 29, at 6 p.m.
That game is followed by Miami hosting Florida Atlantic (8 pm) on Friday, Aug. 30 on ESPNU and three national appearances on Saturday, Aug. 31; Virginia hosting BYU on ESPNU (3:30 pm); Virginia Tech facing defending national champion Alabama in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game on ESPN (5:30 p.m.); and Clemson hosting Georgia on ABC (8 p.m.).
Florida State and Pittsburgh complete the opening weekend meeting on Labor Day Monday night (8 p.m.) on ESPN at Heinz Field in the Panthers' first ACC football game. The game marks the ACC's 10th consecutive game on Labor Day Monday night, a streak which began in 2004. Pittsburgh, which, along with Syracuse, officially joins the ACC on July 1, will make its initial appearance on Labor Day Monday night in its inaugural league game, while the Seminoles are appearing for the sixth time in the nationally televised showcase.
Other national TV exposures during the first three weeks include Wake Forest at Boston College on Friday, Sept. 6 (ESPN2, 8 p.m.); Florida at Miami on Saturday, Sept. 7 (ESPN, noon); Oregon at Virginia also on Saturday, Sept. 7 (3:30 p.m. regionally on ABC, to the rest of the nation on ESPN2); Nevada at Florida State on Sept. 14 (ESPN or ESPN2, 3:30 p.m.); and Georgia Tech at Duke (ESPNU, 3:30 p.m.).
In all, seven of the Top 10 teams in the final 2012 USA Today poll will be in action in ACC games on the season's first two weekends in Alabama (No. 1), Oregon (No. 2), Georgia (No. 4), South Carolina (No. 7), Florida State (No. 8), Clemson (No. 9) and Florida (No. 10).
Gametimes were also announced for three of the other four Thursday night games for the ACC which will be televised nationally on ESPN with each one having a 7:30 p.m. kickoff in Clemson at NC State (Sept. 19); Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech (Sept. 26); and Georgia Tech at Clemson (Nov. 14). The kickoff time for the Miami at North Carolina game, set for Thursday, Oct. 17, is still to be determined.
Combined with the three Friday night games, the ACC has already announced a total of 17 national TV exposures.
A total eight games will also be available nationally on ESPN3 beginning with Presbyterian at Wake Forest on Thursday, Aug. 29 (6:30 p.m.) and continuing with Villanova at Boston College (Aug. 31, Noon); Elon at Georgia Tech (Aug. 31, noon) and North Carolina Central at Duke (Aug. 31, 4 p.m.).
The ACC's ESPN3 schedule also includes Western Carolina at Virginia Tech (Sept. 7, 1:30 p.m.); Old Dominion at Maryland (Sept. 7, 4 p.m.); Richmond at NC State (Sept. 7, 4 p.m.) and Wagner at Syracuse (Sept. 14, 4 p.m.).
The ACC will again have two syndicated packages produced by the ACC Network this fall: The ACC Network and the Regional Sports Networks (RSN).
The ACC Network will make its 2013 debut, syndicating in 95 markets nationally and more than 62 million TV households with three games, each with a 12:30 p.m. kickoff: Louisiana Tech at NC State (Aug. 31); Middle Tennessee at North Carolina (Sept. 7); and New Mexico at Pittsburgh (Sept. 14).
In addition, ACC Network games are also available digitally on ESPN3 (outside of the ACC footprint) and on theACC.com and on the ACC App for IPhones, IPads and Droid mobile devices.
The ACC will also feature a weekly football game which will air each week on the Regional Sports Networks (RSN) of Fox Sports South, Fox Sports Carolinas, Fox Sports Florida or Sun Sports, Comcast Sports Net Mid-Atlantic, New England Sports Network (NESN), the YES Network or MSG Network in New York and Root Sports in Pennsylvania, in addition to several other RSNs nationally.
The RSN package will have a 12:30 p.m. kickoff for the first three weeks of the season. The RSN ACC package begins with Maryland hosting Florida International (Aug.31) and continues with Clemson hosting South Carolina State (Sept. 7) and Wake Forest hosting Louisiana-Monroe (Sept. 14). The RSN package games are also available outside of their coverage areas on ESPN3.

Plans to introduce a 60mph speed limit on the M1 between junctions 28 near Alfreton and juntion 31 south of Sheffield are being opposed by Derbyshire County Council.
Proposals to introduce a 60mph speed limit on the M1 between junctions 28 and 31 are being opposed by Derbyshire County Council.
The Highways Agency wants to convert the hard shoulder into a fourth lane to widen the 18.5-mile stretch of motorway as part of a project to improve traffic flow and allow greater volumes to use the route.
But by allowing more traffic to use the motorway, air pollution would be increased along the stretch which runs through three air quality management areas.
A 60mph speed limit enforced by speed cameras has been proposed between 7am and 7pm every day by The Highways Agency to help reduce carbon emissions.
But the county council objected to the proposals as part of a Highways Agency consultation after business organisations including the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire Chambers of Commerce Group raised concerns.
Councillor Dean Collins, Derbyshire County Council's cabinet member for jobs, economy and transport, said: "Business organisations have told us they're concerned about the message a blanket speed reduction sends out.
"We're working hard to attract new businesses to the area and a lower limit will add to the perception that the M1 is overly congested. Other sections of the M1 have air quality management areas but do not have lower speed restrictions as a result, so we don't see why they should be imposed in Derbyshire.
"This area of the county is open for business. It's a great location to base your firm and we wouldn't want businesses to be put off because they were given the wrong impression about this stretch of the motorway."
Chris Hobson, Head of Information and Representation at the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire Chambers of Commerce Group, added: "The M1 is the main road through the East Midlands and the stretch covered by the proposed 60mph speed restriction is the key gateway through the East Midlands to South and East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire and all points north and south.
"We have concerns that reducing the speed limit would negatively impact on businesses in the area, especially those which use that stretch of the motorway multiple times during the day."
The county council has requested a meeting with the Highways Agency to discuss alternative options to address increasing capacity and environmental issues.

Groundswell necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 171 diseños de 38 diseñadores freelance.
Groundswell International
Groundswell International is an emerging nonprofit being set up by a group of people from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the US with many years of experience in people-centered, rural community development. Mission: Groundswell International, a part of the global movement creating a positive future for people and the planet, supports community-based organizations to work together to improve their lives, spread success, and have a voice in the decisions that effect them. Areas of work: We support sustainable agriculture, strengthening of local food systems, community health, women's equity, and environmental and spiritual wellbeing.
We are targeting people who care about building a more hopeful, just, equitable, sustainable future for all, including the 1 billion poorest people who live in rural villages in the developing world. Our audience will be people who believe in the power of people to bring change. These will be people of all ages, races, religious and political persuasions – but who want to be involved in positive social change. They will care about issues like overcoming poverty in Africa, Asia and Latin America, sustainable agriculture and strengthening local food systems, a healthy environment, community empowerment, women's equity. We hope our logo will communicate what we are about to individual donors, foundations and to other nonprofits.
1. Logo must be original: please do not use stock images and absolutely no clip art in the logo.
2. Clean but not too "corporate." Not too "folksy." Groundswell is a grassroots organization, but its partners are very capable and professional.
3. Simple and not cluttered.
4. We would like the logo to have a feeling that it is about human beings and nature/agriculture.
5. To us the word Groundswell means a social movement and welling up of public opinion and actions of people around the world to create a better future.
6. Other ideas and images we would be interested in capturing: A sense of a social movement of people; people moving and acting together to bring change, in a positive and constructive rather than an angry way; images of rural people from villages in Africa, Latin America and Africa; agriculture and growing food; people who are very connected to nature; a sense of rising up from the ground; perhaps a seed or related images.
7. We are open regarding the typeface, but it should not be childish, too bubbly or too corporate. We may add a tagline later so ideally it would be a typeface that we could use for a tagline.
8. Earthy colors -- blues, browns, and greens. Use bright reds, oranges and similar colors sparingly if at all.
9. The word "Groundswell" should be prominent. The word "International" should be visible in a smaller typeface and not as emphasized.

Lets assume I'm running a game with one player_entity and hundreds of shot_hos objects. What would be the best course to optimize this?
1. Does it matter what is checked first on collisions? Is checking the one entity against 100 more economic?
2. Does it matter if I do the "do for every shot" part after collision is checked?
3. Is checking distance more economic than checking collisions? Would the distance check make a difference or would it be more costly?

Finally it's Friday ad it's getting even better as my Easter vacations are finally here:)
It's been a lovely week for me.. Well, kind of! I had a multiple choice test this week and half of the answers were emm .. little random, let me explain..

The rest of the week? (boring? chilled?) More of an inside one. Oh please, tell me that you are not going through this as well! Waking up, going to uni (as much as you can!) and then rush back to your warm, sweet home?! Well my week was definitely like this! Love being at home (sounds boring, I know), having a look at the weather makes my flat look just fabulous idea! BUT as I always have coffee plans with my boyfriend, and Claire's, H&M and Primark are there, I (just couldn't resist) bought a few things!:)
Ohh, and let's not forget that I received some brilliant news this week! I was nominated for the Liebster Award:) (here). There you will find the two lovelly ladies that nominated me, eleven facts about me and eleven great blogs you should check out!

We are near neighbors of the former Magarity Ford. We want to give our not-so-near neighbors a sense of what we think is worth knowing about the plans Bowman Properties has to redevelop the site.
First, let us say this: We do not oppose development. When it is done well, and done with meaningful collaborative input, we love it. We choose to live in Philadelphia, and we understand that Philadelphia is a city. Development can and should happen in our urban community.
A quick sketch of the Bowman plan: Their proposal is for a 60-foot tall, five-story building on Germantown Avenue, a 20,000 square foot supermarket in the middle of the site and a row of 45-foot tall townhouses in the back along Shawnee Street.
Bowman will be going directly to City Hall (not to the Zoning Board) to request re-zoning of the site. They will need two zoning designations (C3 and R10B) which are normally only found in Center City, and a change from residential to commercial use. They will also need exemptions from published land-use guidelines, Germantown Avenue District Controls and zoning setback requirements.
An online discussion group was created in June, a forum for residents to air their concerns. It was announced to be a forum for all opinions. After a neighbor posted a link to a 2002 Philadelphia Inquirer article detailing the developer's tax delinquency issues, the neighbor who had started the group was directly threatened with a libel suit by a representative of Bowman Properties. She decided to delete the discussion group.
Meanwhile, the CHCA agreed to form a subcommittee to work with Bowman Properties.
Residents have attended CHCA meetings for the past six weeks but have noticed little to no progress on their concerns.
There are many reasons why we near neighbors have concerns. We would bear the daily brunt of the noise, smells, and increased traffic. But since we've been following the process carefully, think of us as canaries in the coalmine, bringing news as to what this project will mean for the wider community.
A few reasons why all of us should be concerned: The design is out of scale and out of character with Chestnut Hill: Five-story frontage on the Avenue, a 30-foot wall facing the relatively small houses on Hartwell Lane with almost no setback, and 45-foot high townhouses on Shawnee, a radical departure from what city records presently describe as a "country lane" adjoining the bird sanctuary and Pastorius Park.
A new street will be carved into the middle of the block, called Market Lane, for car and truck entry. No other unit block on the Avenue is developed all the way through, as this one would be. The plans look to us like a chunk of Plymouth Meeting Mall shoehorned into what is otherwise a strikingly beautiful, and beautifully preserved urban space.
We are told that a new supermarket will be an anchor for the Avenue and will have the effect of enhancing all the business activity up and down Germantown Avenue. We think not. We think that after people load up their vehicles with shopping bags from a supermarket, they go home – before the ice cream melts.
We are told to expect 1,500 cars a day. We are told this is a good thing – that more traffic is what happens when development succeeds, end of story. But Chestnut Hill works because it is pedestrian-friendly. On foot, people can take in one another and the variety of shopping experiences here.
Wouldn't it be marvelous if the many storefronts now owned by Bowman Properties but shuttered – some for years – were occupied?
We are told that Bowman Properties' appeal to rezone here will be a "slam dunk." The message: We should all just give up. Once City Council has granted the rezoning, it won't matter whether the supermarket and the townhouses are ever built or occupied, because the site, now worth a lot more, could be sold and become just about anything. As a representative of Bowman Properties has warned us more than once, if we resist the present plans for the site, we could end up with a Walgreen's.
It's true, we are concerned because as near neighbors we will be closest to the noise, the smells, and the increased traffic. But we write to alert the community-at-large: There is something going on that is worth paying attention to here, something deeply worrying. We are going through a process that feels like the ducks were lined up a long time ago.
Ducks, canaries, whatever. It's time to hire a lawyer, and we have. If anyone is interested in finding out what might be done to make a few peeps, please feel free to get in touch with us.

"Fela!," the 2010 Tony Award® nominee for Best Musical which celebrated a successful run at the Ahmanson in 2011, returns to the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre, opening Friday, April 26 at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre.
Produced by Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Stephen and Ruth Hendel, "Fela!" is filled with the exuberant music of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, and will be presented for 13 performances only through May 5, 2013.
The cast, which includes Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child playing the role of Sandra, also features Adesola Osakalumi and Duain Richmond alternating in the title role of Fela, Melanie Marshall as Funmilayo, Rasaan-Elijah "Talu" Green as Djembe-"Mustafa," Ismael Kouyaté as Ismael and Gelan Lambert as J.K. Braimah (Tap Dancer) and Egungun.
The ensemble includes Lauren De Veaux, Shawn Alynda Fisher, Jason Herbert, Shakira Marshall, India McGee, Oneika Phillips, Kafi Pierre, Malaiyka Reid, Daniel Soto, Tricia M. Taitt, Adé Chiké Torbert, Uyoata Udi and Jill Marie Vallery.
"Fela!," which is based on the life of the charismatic Kuti and is highlighted by many of Kuti's most captivating songs, has a book by Jim Lewis and Bill T. Jones, music and lyrics by Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, additional lyrics by Jim Lewis, additional music by Aaron Johnson and Jordan McLean, and was conceived by Bill T. Jones, Jim Lewis and Stephen Hendel. "Fela!" features the visionary direction and choreography of two-time Tony Award-winner Bill T. Jones ("Fela!" and "Spring Awakening"), who was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2010.
A triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, "Fela!" is the true story of Kuti, who created a new type of music, Afrobeat, and mixed these pounding eclectic rhythms (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies) with incendiary lyrics that openly attacked the corrupt and oppressive military dictatorships that rule Nigeria and much of Africa. His songs of rebellion were an inspiration to millions.
"Fela!" received a total of 11 Tony Award nominations in 2010.
The music and dancing of "Fela!" prompted Ben Brantley of The New York Times to say, "There should be dancing in the streets" when it opened on Broadway in 2009, and Peter Marks of The Washington Post said it is an ". . . electroshock for the soul." Charles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times said last December of the Ahmanson presentation, ". . .be prepared to get out of your seat and shake your derriere."
Tickets for "Fela!" are available by calling (213) 972-4400, online at www.CenterTheatreGroup.org or in person at the CTG box office located at the Ahmanson Theatre at the Music Center.
"Fela!" runs from April 26th 2013 through May 5th 2013.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has given final approval for the City of Lincoln and the State of Nebraska to proceed with the South and East Beltways. The FHWA signed the Record of Decision, which affirms that all environmental issues have been addressed and gives final approval to the Beltway locations.
"This final federal approval is very important. After decades of consideration, we can now proceed with the completion of a beltway around Lincoln," said Mayor Don Wesely. "Many people helped bring us to this point. Still, there is much work to do to secure the federal construction funds." Wesely expressed his appreciation to the Nebraska Division of the Federal Highway Administration and to the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce for its strong support of the project.
"The Chamber is very gratified to hear that the Environmental Impact Statement has been approved for the Beltways," said Gene Brake, Chairman of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. "The Beltways are needed investments in Lincoln's future growth, and the Chamber played a leadership role in making this happen through our local and federal lobbying efforts. The Chamber will continue to work toward maximizing federal funding participation."
Mayor Wesely also praised the assistance of U.S. Senator Ben Nelson and U.S. Representative Doug Bereuter in securing federal funds for the Beltway project. In July 2002, Senator Nelson helped secure $5 million for the Beltway project in the U.S. Senate's transportation appropriations legislation. Previously, Representative Bereuter helped secured $400,000 in federal funding for the initial beltway study, and in the 1998 transportation bill, he helped secure $4.125 million for the South Beltway. The cost of completing the South Beltway is about $120 million. The estimated cost for the East Beltway is an additional $130 million.
"This project will ensure that Lincoln can continue to grow and meet the needs of its residents by modernizing the transportation network," said Senator Nelson. "Mayor Wesely has done a tremendous job in getting the project this far, and I will continue to assist him in acquiring the resources Lincoln needs to improve the quality of life in and around the city."
City Public Works and Utilities Director Allan Abbott said City and State officials will meet soon to discuss a timeline for preliminary design and a public hearing, which will lead to the final design and right-of-way acquisition phases.
The South and East Beltways will connect with the West Bypass and Interstate 80 to form a nonstop beltway around Lincoln. The South Beltway route runs eight miles from U.S. Highway 77 to Nebraska Highway 2 . The East Beltway route extends about 13 miles from Nebraska Highway 2 to Interstate 80 about halfway between 120th and 134th streets.
A beltway around the city was first discussed in the early 1960s. In 1972, a corridor report was completed and the West Bypass was approved, but the proposed South and East Beltways were not. In November 1994, South and East Beltway study areas were included in the City-County Comprehensive Plan, and a new beltway study began in August 1995. The final routes were recommended for approval by the Mayor, the City-County Planning Department, the City Public Works and Utilities Department and the City-County Planning Commission. Mayor Wesely pushed for approval of the south and east corridor routes, which the City Council and County Board approved in August 2001.

The Center for the Arts Video Production Group at the University at Buffalo has been nominated for a 2013 New York Emmy Award. The honor recognizes an informational video on the UB Solar Strand produced by the Center for the Arts Video Production Group in collaboration with a cross-cutting team of university faculty, staff and students, the New York Power Authority and key community partners.
The University at Buffalo's 750-kilowatt Solar Strand, brought to life by world-renowned artist Walter Hood, reflects a transformative vision that defines the future of sustainability. Its approach moves beyond obtaining carbon neutrality and reducing UB's footprint. It welcomes students, faculty, staff and community members to UB's campus through a connected and cultural natural landscape, designed to be one of the most publicly accessible energy sites in the world. Like higher education, the strand is multidimensional - merging teaching, learning, art, research, sustainability and community engagement into a complex and powerful resource that will be a model for future development.
of photovoltaic panels are mounted onto supports that stretch in
three rows along Flint Road, creating a new gateway to the North
Campus. The design's logic is derived from the "strand"
concept: a linear landscape formation and DNA fingerprint. Walkways
run between the rows of panels, connecting the array with local
roads, the Center for Tomorrow, and naturally regenerated meadows and
wetland areas that the public can enjoy. Gathering spaces embedded in
the project include an open-air chamber paved with recycled, concrete
sidewalk slabs. The array's tallest groupings of solar panels form
a slanted roof over three outdoor "social rooms."
At 140 feet wide and 1,250 feet long, the array has a rated capacity to produce enough electricity for hundreds of students apartments. The project, one of the largest ground-mounted solar arrays in New York, was funded by the New York Power Authority.
The Center for the Arts Video Production Group is a professional television and video outlet dedicated to enhancing communication about the Center for the Arts, University at Buffalo, and affiliated groups. It collaborates with a wide range of university clients to produce videos for marketing, development, education and entertainment. Since 2006, the group has been honored with 14 national Telly Awards and a 2011 New York Emmy Award.
The New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences presents Emmy awards in recognition of excellence in the television industry. The final winners will be announced in a ceremony on April 14 in New York City.

Tuesday morning classes at Prairie Central High School in Fairbury came with heightened security after suspicious posts on the social media website, Facebook, alarmed school officials.
PCHS Superintendent Dr. John Capasso said that there weren't any threats involved and the school wasn't on lockdown. He also said that parents were notified of the situation via an automated phone message at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday morning.
"We'll just continue to monitor and be vigilant of information that comes to us and try to be proactive if we do hear of something. We will take precautions in the interest of keeping the kids and staff safe," Capasso said.
He said, over the course of a couple of days, Facebook posts from a student claiming to be moving into the community and looking to make friends slowly turned odd and bizarre.
"A number of kids started to de-friend this student, which caused a flurry of exchanges. The mother of this student basically took everyone to task for de-friending her daughter and bullying issues, making comments about how there are school shootings caused by bullying. No specific threats were made, but it was just enough that we thought we didn't know enough about the situation to know that it's completely harmless, so we decided to take some precautions," he explained.
He said the situation did not warrant a school lockdown, but students were not allowed to use book bags from class to class.
"We did decide to involve the police and they gladly came. We had a couple different levels of police to patrol the grounds, hallways and corridors. The staff is always watchful of the kids but today, they were just especially watchful," he said.
A student told the Daily Leader that they were told that police were checking the IP address of the Facebook profile as part of the investigation. That student also said that water fountains in recessed or more remote areas of the school are off-limits and only the fountains in open areas are allowed to be used.
"Hopefully we'll get this quieted down and get back to business fairly soon," Capasso said. He added that there would still be a police presence at the school today, as students will be dismissed early for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Olympic rings light up the stadium during the opening ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Friday, July 27, 2012, in London.
At the London Summer Games last year, we moved more than 45,000 photos to members and customers, capturing those moments of astonishing accomplishment that make the games so compelling. A lot goes into getting just the right shot, and AP photographers were resourceful in finding the best angles, the best locations and the best technology to nail the best images.
Crowded around the perimeter of the women's gymnastics competition with more than 150 other photographers, Greg Bull chose his position with great care, as he describes in this interview. It paid off. Bull got the defining image of the London Olympics: Gabby Douglas soaring high above the balance beam, en route to the gold medal in the women's all-around.
To shoot from unexpected perspectives during the London Games, our photo team sought out the expertise of former NASA engineers to help build AP's first robotic camera systems. Developing, fine-tuning, installing and operating the cameras was a challenge, as the team tells it.
Of the more than 45,000 photos that AP took at the London Games, here are 28 of the best—including an underwater photo of U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps and an overhead photo of British boxer Nicola Adams, both shot with AP's robotic camera system.

SUN RA: Outer Spaceways Incorporated
A 1968 recording of the classic 15 piece band with Nimrod Hunt on drums and Ra on clavioline as well as piano. Excellent recording quality. This is in fact a very welcome reissue of the Black Lion LP 'Pictures of Infinity'- confusingly and pointlessly re-titled. It should not be confused with the Saturn release Outer Spaceways Incorporated, which is a wholly different record. That said, it's still a fine and welcome release.

Janet Jackson + Billionaire Boyfriend Wissam Al Mana Wed Last Year in Secret
Janet Jackson is a married woman...again.
No, the singer didn't do a shotgun wedding in Vegas nor did she have a lavish ceremony overseas, as was the rumor. Instead, Janet – Miss Jackson, if you're nasty -- wed her billionaire boyfriend, Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana, in 2012. They did so without fanfare and without the press crashing the ceremony.
The couple issued a statement revealing that a union is in place, while denying all those rumors that they were going to spend millions on a wedding.
This is the third marriage for Jackson, 46. She kept her other nuptials on the DL, too.
Below is the statement.
The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy.

Sunbathing...Bad Idea!
Those cads!
Not only that but artists seemed to be lurking in every shady copse, waiting for comely young things to disrobe so they could "paint their portrait". James R. Bingham wasn't alone in this pursuit - Coby Whitmore was at it, and even up here in Canada, our own Bruce Johnson was out hiking through the bush, doing some not-so-still life drawing.
And here I thought streaking started in the 70's!

If the "Mr. Mason" the unrobed woman in the lifeguard stand is talking to is Perry Mason, then I can easily relate to your story.ReplyDelete
Just because the TV and the movies were governed by fairly strict moral codes doesn't mean that everyone was squeaky clean. I recently was reading through some old Perry Mason novels and, contrary to the TV series, the books were filled with sex, drinking, gambling, pornography, adultery, drugs, etc. Of course, even in the books, the language was clean and circumspect, but there were clearly a lot of unsavory things going on (including comments, rumors, and double entendres about Perry and Della that would do James Bond and Miss Moneypenny proud).
Also, the movie version of The Big Sleep is completely confusing due to rewrites, reshoots, and censorship. I had to read the book to find out what was really being portrayed on the screen.
That is indeed Perry Mason being refered to here, Chris. James R. Bingham was the regular artist on The Saturday Evening Post's decade-long serialization of the Perry Mason novels. I can't say I've more than ever glanced at the copy, though... I would guess it was toned down for the Post's family audience.ReplyDelete

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt
In a medium saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil until it reaches soft ball stage (when a drop of the syrup forms a soft ball when dropped in cool water)while continuing to stir occasionally. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and salt to soft peaks. Keep the mixer running (you need a stand mixer or a friend to complete this next step) while you pour a continues stream of the molten syrup into the egg whites. Continue to beat for about 5 minutes, adding vanilla after about two minutes, or until the frosting is fluffy, glossy and cool. Frost cooled cake.

Katie Holmes set to make high profile fashion week debut
These past few months have been tough for Katie Holmes, following her high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise.
But the former Dawson's Creek star has received some good news – she has bagged a highly covetable spot to show at New York Fashion Week.
The actress-turned-designer, who started her line Holmes & Yang with her stylist Jeanne Yang in 2009, is set to make her fashion debut on September 12.
What's more, the design duo are set to show on-site at the prestigious Lincoln Centre, nicknamed the 'tents', where many of the heavy hitters unveil their new wares during the week.
The 125-seat studio venue, which has been specifically designed to house intimate presentations only, is normally packed full of celebs, fashionistas and influential fashion editors.
"This is a big deal for Katie to show in the tents, under the full attention of the fashion editors and the glare of media scrutiny," a source told the New York Post.
"They could have done a small show elsewhere, so this proves she and Jeanne are very serious about their business."
Victoria Beckham is reportedly slated to show her collection on the same day, but at a different time and at a different location, The New York Public library.
