Art Curtis, the former CEO of Millennium Partners Sports Club Management LLC, is forming his own consulting company.
Curtis had served as CEO until January, when Smaiyra Million took over the post. Curtis stayed with parent company Millennium Partners as a consultant until he officially left on Oct. 15, although he still maintains an office at the Boston company.
"It's just time to make the break and really get serious about developing this consulting business," says Curtis, 62. "For the time that's left in my career, that's how I want to be able to spend it. It was time to take a break from being either the CEO or COO of club companies."
Curtis had intended to build a club consulting business back in 2005. Millennium Partners, his first client, then finalized a deal to purchase six clubs from The Sports Club Co., Los Angeles. (Millennium had served as the landlord for five of the six clubs.) After the acquisition, Curtis was asked to stay on and serve as the CEO of Millennium's new sports club company, Millennium Partners Sports Club Management.
"Initially, we thought that would be something that would go on for maybe three years or so and ended up turning into a little over five years," he says.
Curtis also has served as CEO of Stonewater, a national consolidation of more than 20 day spas, and COO of The Wellbridge Co., Greenwood Village, CO, during his more than 30 years in the health club industry.
The types of services Curtis plans to provide as a consultant—drawn from those years of experience—will include strategic planning, business turnarounds, organizational and management team development, process improvement and operating systems, mergers and acquisitions, and new club development. Curtis says potential clients include private equity firms inside or outside the industry, developers who want to incorporate clubs into a large, mixed-use project, small and mid-sized club companies, hospital systems, and product companies. Curtis is still finalizing plans on the name and direction of the company.
Curtis plans to continue to serve as the chair of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) board of directors.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time both on the board, and in particular, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in the last two years as chairman of the board," Curtis says.

The residents of Milorad, a village in Northwestern Bulgaria, have threatened to stop paying taxes to the central government unless it finally gets some protection against incessant thefts, robberies, and other crimes that they attribute to local Roma.
Milorad Mayor Petar Garvanski has sent a letter to Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov with a cry for help urging the police to take measure to tackle the rampant crimes in the village, the Presa daily reported.
According to Garvanski, the village of Milorad has no standing police officers, and relies on its security on three officers that are expected to be in charge of a much larger area encompassing a number of villages in the Borovan Municipality....
My Mongolism is what keeps me breathing in this Europe of Angela Merkel and her eastern Mongolian ilk. This is my disguise, I am not eastern at all and have no sympathies for Polaks, Bulgarians, Cehoslovoaks, Romanians and the rest of them barbaric pillagers. Two things I'd make use of these is organ harvesting and outsourcing manial jobs no one wants to do.

Termjin, go back to sleep. Your snoring is more intelligent than your comments. Just take care of your mongolism and don't bother with this forum. OK?
"Two thirds of the population are unemployed Roma."
Bulgaria should change its name to Romani land or Cigania and employ those Roma so they can pay the taxes and those few old Bulgarians left their pensions.
This way its quite confusing, seeing most of the "Bulgarian" population in Bulgaria and Europe consists of Roma yet Romani people are considered minority in Bulgaria.
Let's send the Roma to France so they can get social benefits. As they are unwilling to work for their daily bread...
It seems like an increased rate crime due to poor Roma people, who want to spend the winter in a jail with central heating.
I'm sure Uncle B will solve this.
A society not protecting its elderly people is bad. Really bad.

An original watercolour painting
signed 'Francis Murray Russell Flint' July 1974
Image size 14.25" x 10.5"
Francis Murray Russell Flint (ROI, SMA 1915-1977)
Francis Murray Russell Flint, born 3rd June, 1915
His father was Sir W. Russell Flint,
and throughout his career he achieved the status of a highly talented artist in his own right.
He was educated at Cheltenham College and HMS Conway,
and studied at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, Royal Academy Schools and later the RA in Paris.
He worked for a while as the art master at Hurstpierpoint College, Sussex.
and lived at Burgess Hill in Sussex and Coffinswell, S.Devon and London W8.
Francis Murray Russell Flint was an Offical War Artist during WWII.
Exhibiting at....
The Royal Academy,
The Royal Watercolour Society,
The Royal Society of Marine Artists,
The Imperial War Museum.
He became vice-president of The Royal Watercolour Society,
and was a highly celebrated and respected watercolourist throughout his career.
Francis Murray Russell Flint died in Spain, 1977.
SirWilliam Russell Flint- A brief history
Russell Flint was well known as a Scottish artist, namely known for the works and watercolours he created during the course of his art career. Most of the watercolour paintings he created, and was best known for, were the ones he designed which depicted women. Tempera, oils, and print making, were other forms of art that Mr. Russell Flint was also known to have created during the course of his career.
The education Mr. Russell Flint received includes: - an apprenticeship as a lithographic draftsman , while he was taking classes at Royal Academy of Art (Edinburgh). - Working as a medical instructor, while taking part time classes at Heatherley's Art School; and, - Studying independently at the British Museum. Upon completion of his studies, Russell Flint began work as an artist for the London News (1903 to 1907). He also published various watercolours for a number of books, which depicted some of his early works in the art form he perfected.
Russell Flint was also the President of Britain's Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours. During the course of his work, and throughout the course of his career, Russell Flint got much influence in the works he created from his visits to Spain. During his visits, he became extremely interested in the Spanish dancers, and the art form which they were working in. During his career, he also depicted many of these dancers in a number of the watercolours that he created and sold. Russell Flint did enjoy some commercial success for the works he did throughout his career as well, but he did not receive too much from the art critics of his time. Many did not appreciate the nature of his work, nor the way he depicted the female figure and body in the works that he produced and let out to the general public.
For those who enjoy the many Russell Flint art works, and the watercolours that have been developed by the artist, there are many ways to purchase prints of his work online, through museums, and through other outlets as well.Russell Flint is arguably, one of the greatest watercolour painters of the last century, and although not appreciated by all, his works do sell for rather high prices, due to the elaborate design and nature, the paintings he produced and the design features, detail and design styles, and the unique nature of the works that he created during his career, are all reasons his work is highly sold and publicized.
Other sources claim that Russell Flint received much of the influence for his work from France, and not Spain, as many articles claim. He enjoyed painting in the open air, and applying board washes over charcoal outlines, to give his work a unique design, texture, and appearance. When designing his work, he would initially only design the layout and the outline, leaving figures and characters out of the work. He would then, upon returning to London, create the characters, and at his own leisure time, would complete the painting with the figure of choice for the work he chose to depict in any particular background. Russell Flint was also a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy. In 1947 he was also knighted, for the services to art he had developed during the course of his career.
In his earlier works, Sir William developed a fascination for different characters and figures which he would include in many of the watercolours he created. From ballerinas, to dancers, and acctresses, he appreciated the female form, and all the beauty that came along with it. Cecillia Green is however the model that he is most associated with, and the woman that has had the most influence on the many art pieces he had created during the course of his career in art. For the 15 years after he met her in 1953, she became a muse to all of his art work, and to the many pieces he painted, and she became one of the most widely seen figures in the many pieces he created over the years.
Regardless of the work he created, Russell Flint was very strict about the quality of the printing, and expected the highest standards for all of the works that were republished and sold. He did appeal to the masses, and he designed pieces that fell in line with what most collectors were looking for in a watercolour painting. With many pieces in print, he was one of the highest selling painters of his time, and still today, he has sold more watercolour designs than many other artists who have gone through the same type of work, due to the fact that he learned what collectors were looking for in a piece, and he designed the art work that he created around those central images and scenes that most sold.
Russell Flint painted and continue to do work until his death in 1969. The pieces he created during the later years of his career were limited, and are some of the most desired pieces from his collections, due to the fact that there were so few in circulation, that true collectors wanted to own some of his later works. Limited edition paintings still were still being sold after his death, and today, paintings are still reproduced due to the demand by collectors who love the work and the style in which Russell Flint created his most famous pieces.
Today collectors and fans of his work can purchase reprints from many places. With a limited edition painting being put up on a regular basis, new art works are still being published, and collectors can purchase the paintings they want to add to their collection. Whether you are a fan of Russell Flint and his work, a fan of watercolours, or are simply a collector that wants the most obscure pieces, there are quite a few in the collection he had amassed during the course of his career. As one of the most well known watercolour painters, collectors of all art works either own, or want to purchase one of the many pieces created by Russell Flint during his illustrious career.
Cornwater Fine Art has specialized in the paintings and prints of Sir William Russell Flint for over thirty years, and have on display over
500 edition prints, signed and unsigned; Also original watercolour paintings and red chalk drawings, for sale.
The limited edition prints, particularly the signed, limited edition prints (ie. pre 1969) were very sought after, and the entire edition could

A 32-year-old old woman was robbed, beaten and tasered by two men Monday night, Jan. 14, after entering her parked car in the 200 block of E. Highland Avenue.
The woman, an employee of Osaka Restaurant, 8065 Germantown Ave., had just entered her car at 10:34 p.m. when she was approached by the two men, one of whom pointed a handgun at her and demanded money, according to police. After she threw her purse at him, the man began striking her on the head with the gun, hitting her multiple times. The men then dragged her from her car onto the street and tasered her.
The woman told police that before she lost consciousness, she saw the men running toward Germantown Ave. The men took $600 in cash and an iPhone from the woman's purse.
A resident on the block who heard the woman screaming ran out to assist her, police said. The man helped her into his house and called 911. Medics transported the woman to Einstein Hospital, where she was treated for a head injury and lacerations on her body and was later released.
Police said the suspects were two African-American males in their 20s. The one holding the handgun was described as wearing dark clothing and a hooded sweat shirt. The other, who tasered her, was described as wearing a dark, hooded sweat shirt.

AVmail: May 6, 2013
Letter of the Week: Dangers of Rearward C of G
Regarding the speculation that shifting cargo caused the crash of Boeing 747 in Afghanistan, I have some experience with flying an aircraft with rearward center of gravity.
Years ago, I was flying a C-47, and the urinal in the head froze up. The co-pilot and several other people were trying to thaw it out with cigarette lighters. The head on the C-47 is in the tail end of the aircraft.
In all of my years of flying, this really scared me. I asked them all to slowly back out of the area one at a time, and to leave only one person in the head. We would always load the aircraft with as far aft CG as we could. In doing so, we could get another 10 to 15 knots of cruise speed out of the C-47.
The controls on a DC-3 are rather heavy. In this case, with all of them stacked in the tail end of the aircraft, all I had to do was touch the yoke, and the aircraft went into wild gyrations, nose up and down. The aircraft was no longer statically stable.
I knew if we should hit turbulent air we would be toast and the accident investigation board would want to know why so many people were in the toilet. I can just imagine the different theories on that one.
Vern Childers
While there has been speculation that a load shift may be to blame for the crash of the National B-747 at Bagram Air Base this week, clues from the video cause me to wonder if an engine failure may be to blame.
From what I've read online, aircraft departing Bagram use an intentionally steep climb profile to avoid small arms fire, likely leaving the aircraft with little airspeed margin should an engine failure occur. In the video, the aircraft banks slightly to the left, as the pilot might do to aid in directional control upon the loss of an engine on the right wing.
Soon after, the aircraft begins a yawing rotation to the right, as if driven by asymmetric thrust. This was truly a tragic crash, and I extend my sympathy to the families of the victims. It will be interesting to read what the accident investigation reveals.
Charles Dickinson
I'm a big fan of AVweb. I read it on my tablet every morning before I even get ready for the day! But I did want to share some reader feedback. That 747 video crossed a line into inappropriate.
Dissecting a crash as a learning exercise is very useful. Running graphic video of a plane crash that cost seven lives, with no lesson attached, is sickening. I would like to see AVweb stay away from promoting such video in the future.
As an aside, I witnessed a plane crash in a landing incident that happened 50 yards from where I was standing. My last memory of the three individuals alive was the look of sheer horror on their faces just before the explosion. My next memory was three dead people, frozen in a sitting position, completely shriveled and blackened � and the stench that went with that. I hope the families of the people who perished never see the video you ran and begin to imagine what I just described.
Cathy Ahles
Everybody's Aviation Association?
Regarding EAA interim president Jack Pelton's column about the make-up of EAA: I have thought for some time that EAA, the Experimental Aviation Association, is a long way from what it was at its beginning. I think it would now be more appropriate for EAA to stand for Everybody's Aviation Association.
John King, Ovid, NY
I beg to differ with Jack Pelton. EAA has a label. It's "experimental." It was for people who build their own airplanes. Trying to be everything for everybody just isn't what my EAA was all about.
After many years of being a member, I've had enough of the direction EAA is headed so I've let my membership lapse.
I can still build my experimental aircraft without the "new" EAA. The organization should either accept the label or change the name.
Linn Walters
Advancing as a Pilot
Regarding the "Question of the Week" on advancing myself as a pilot: I plan on completing a phase of Wings under the FAA Safety Team program. The advantage of this is it also counts as a flight review!
Cary Grant
I will continue to fly Pilots-N-Paws rescue missions. They are emotionally rewarding flights, creating great scenario-based missions to build time and competency.
Christophe Masiero
While I plan on and have been doing more flying this year, my more significant commitment to flying is a complete refurbishment of my P-210, including a full panel upgrade, new paint, and interior. This, I believe, is the wave of the future, considering the passing of limited product liability and that LSA certification failed to lower the cost of new aircraft as promised.
Steve Biggs
I am a casualty of the prohibitively high cost of flying. Unless I win the lottery, I'll never exercise my license again.
Phil Potter
My wife has promised that as long as I don't do anything stupid, like buy another Corvette, I can resume my flying lessons this summer. They have been on hold since our son was born 25 years ago.
Michael Clow
Girl Scouts Discover Aviation
Junior Girl Scout Troop 25066 and Brownie Troop 25160 in Lakeville, MN had a special aviation lesson in April. This was special because less than six percent of all pilots are female.
This unique experience exposed them to a wide range of career possibilities not normally sought out by women. Four local flight instructors presented the science of flight, famous women aviators, practical knowledge on obtaining a private pilot license, and how to plan a flight. Girls rotated through the stations armed with questions and eager faces.
The day was the first event that will help the girls earn a Discover Aviation badge. The second activity will take place on May 18 at the Airlake Airport, where the girls will get an opportunity to go on an airplane ride, learn to pre-flight a real plane, and have conversations with representatives from the 99s, Civil Air Patrol, Red Tail Squadron, and others. Space is still available for other young females to take flight. Visit PenguinFlight.net/girls-aviation-day for more information.

Maryland Neuroscience PhD Programs
Potential Benefits of Neuroscience PhD Programs
Neuroscience is a specialized sector of the medical care field. It is the study of the brain and how it interacts with the rest of the body. Earning a doctorate in neuroscience degree might help students pursue a career in neuroscience and/or conduct advance research on the brain. Scholars who earn a PhD in neuroscience could choose to pursue a possible career in medical care, clinical research and other job posts where an advanced understanding of the human brain is necessary. If you want to delve into this field of study, consider neuroscience PhD programs either on campus or online.
Important Qualities and Natural Skills for Students in Neuroscience PhD Programs
Every profession and field of study is particularly suited for certain traits and natural abilities. The neuroscience field is no different. While some scholars enter the program with natural predispositions, graduates have the opportunity to develop a full gambit of useful skills as they complete their coursework. After graduation, many successful scholars possess the following predispositions or capabilities:
- Effective communication: Discussing the intersecting complexities of neuroscience could be especially difficult. Students must be able to comprehend and communicate advanced theories and treatment plans with future patients, coworkers and clients.
- High social awareness: Possible symptoms of neurological disorders may involve detecting changes in social behaviors. If the student plans on working closely with patients, he or she must develop strong interpersonal skills and an approachable bedside manner.
- Inductive and deductive reasoning: When researching or treating a neurological illness, students must arrive at creative solutions and make connections with minimal information. Reasoning skills are essential.
- Attention to
- detail: When it comes to body chemistry, a small detail could make a massive difference in health or treatments. Neuroscience doctoral students need to identify and interpret such small details.
- Leadership: As students learn to cope with and treat various neurological disorders, they must take charge of the moment and lead colleagues.
- Concern for others: With many graduates following a medical or research career, a genuine concern for others' well-being helps students stay motivated to perform well on the job and in the classroom.
Common Coursework in Neuroscience PhD Programs | Neuropsychology PhD Programs
Your exact core courses and required classes may vary depending on your educational institution and concentrations. The exact number of hours or credits in each subject also varies between degree programs. Frequently, before choosing a program, the institution may allow for browsing of the course catalogue or provide an overview of the curriculum. Some common topics and subjects in a doctorate in neuroscience degree program are:
- Clinical case studies
- Human cognition
- Data analysis
- Mathematical models
- Laboratory based classes
- Molecular and cellular systems
- Memory function
- Molecular biology
- Neural systems
- Adult communication disorders
- Neuroendocrine pharmacology
- Developmental neuropsychology
- Human brain mapping
- Advanced physiological psychology
Additionally, many institutions include rotations as an element of their program. Essentially, rotations are similar to school-sponsored internships. Students go to a neuroscience-based firm or practice and gain on the job experience for course credit. In many cases, students could do several of these over the course of around a year.
Core Knowledge and Expertise for Neuroscience PhD Programs
As with many doctoral degree programs, neuroscience PhD programs frequently have specializations, and students could graduate with a wealth of relevant knowledge. Upon graduation, doctoral students frequently have a working knowledge of:
- Medicine
- Dentistry
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Psychology
- Mathematics
- Customer service
- Computers and/or relevant technology
- Written and oral communication
Using these areas of knowledge in combination, neuroscience student are able to perform well and have a better understanding regarding how different ailments affect the body holistically. Many of these subjects are taught as part of the degree program while other could be learned through hands-on experience.
Possible Careers Paths for Graduates of a Doctorate in Neuroscience Program
With neuroscience doctorate degrees, graduates could pursue careers in a number of industries. The industries with the top pay include[i]:
- Pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing
- Wholesale electronic markets
- Computer system and related services design
- Federal executive branch
- Electromedical, measuring, control and navigational manufacturing
Though the pay is great, the above industries don't have the highest concentration of neuroscience degree holders. That distinction belongs to the following[i]:

Hola, Boozers. Here in the old U.S. of A, we'll take any excuse to have a margarita, which explains why Cinco de Mayo is more popular here than in its country of origin, and why most of the people partaking in the celebrations have likely never even traveled south of the border (unless you count a visit to Pedro's highway oasis) or can speak nary a soupçon of Spanish. Whatever. It's a margarita. Bring it on.
The tart freshness of spring fruits lend themselves to margaritas that far surpass the standard variety made with overly sweet mixes. We went a little fancy this week by creating a base from ruby red grapefruit and rhubarb, but the result is well worth the small amount of effort it takes to make a more complex margarita. This is a drink not meant to be insulted with a bowl of Doritos and Cheez Whiz on the side, but would stand up perfectly to a fresh shrimp ceviche or an authentic pozole verde. Go ahead, put on that sombrero and live a little. Salud!
Ruby Rhubarb 'Rita
Rhubarb is a fruit, or a vegetable, depending upon who you ask, with a texture and flavor often likened to tart celery. Our Ruby Rhubarb syrup is layered with flavors that simply cried out for a layering of liquors; sticking with tradition, we used a silver tequila and a splash of triple sec, but then floated a little white whiskey over the top, our American nod to a fiery aguardiente.
for the Ruby Rhubarb syrup:
1 cup rhubarb stems, roughly chopped
1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice with pulp, freshly squeezed
1 cup water
1 cup turbinado sugar
4 or 5 pineapple sage leaves (you can substitute with basil leaves)
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for one hour, allowing the rhubarb to soften and break down. When the liquid has thickened slightly, remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Strain thoroughly through a fine-mesh sieve; can now be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Yield: about 1 cup.
to make the 'Rita:
1 lime
2 – 3 tablespoons Ruby Rhubarb syrup (adjust to your taste)
2 ounces silver tequila
1/2 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce clear whiskey (we used Catoctin Creek Mosby's Spirits)
Fresh rhubarb, cut into a 4-inch stick for garnish (optional)
Cut the lime in half and squeeze all the juice into a cocktail shaker. Add the Ruby Rhubarb syrup, the tequila, the triple sec, and several ice cubes.

In a recent survey conducted by us about whether people liked the anthem God Save The Queen, 83% said they did. Of the 121 answerers, only 20 people said they didn't like the anthem, with 101 people saying they do like it. With threats from certain movements promoting the changing of the national anthem to something less Monarch-orientated, it looks like most people don't want the same!
God Save The Queen is the official anthem of the United Kingdom, though it is often mistook (and sometimes used) as the anthem for England, this is most probably because England doesn't have its own anthem like Scotland and Wales do.
God Save The Queen (or God Save The King as it was at the time) was first used as the national anthem in 1745 when it was adopted as such. Its composer is largely unknown.
God Save The Queen's origins can be traced back to the 1600s when the song was first written in its original form. When first published, its words consisted of 'God save great George our King, Long live our noble King, God Save the King'. When the reigns of the 4 Georges concluded, the words had to be altered because the King was no longer named George, but William [William IV]. The words were then updated to what they are today.
Because of the confusion at the time, a special notice had to be made to declare in 1952 that the national anthem would become 'God Save The Queen' after Elizabeth II acceded to the throne.
When Prince Charles becomes King, the anthem will revert back to 'God Save The King'.
According to our survey, despite some of the outspoken criticism of the anthem, people largely want the anthem to stay, which is as it should be. God Save The Queen is a wonderful anthem that truly captures the mind. Proposed alternatives include 'Jerusalem' and 'Land Of Hope And Glory', though we, as do 83% of people, think anything else just wouldn't do!

Rugged, variable-power scopes are specifically engineered to help shooters get the most from the AR platform, with quick, accurate hits at a wide variety of distances. These scopes are ballistically calibrated at the factory at the factory to match the trajectory of .223/5.56mm, 55-grain polymer-tipped bullets traveling at 3,240 fps. Or, you can recalibrate the scope for different bullet/velocity combinations. High-resolution optics and multi-layer coated lenses give superb clarity and light-gathering capacity, especially at dusk and dawn. All models provide an extra-wide range of windage and elevation click adjustments in ¼ or ½ MOA increments. Point Blank reticle offers a wide field of view for fast, accurate, instinctive shooting from 0 to 200 yards—ideal for 3-gun matches. Reticle is similar to a standard duplex crosshair with 3 MOA dot, just cover the target with the reticle dot and squeeze the trigger. Nikoplex models feature Nikon's classic Nikoplex cross-hair reticle and a Rapid Action Turret that lets you dial your elevation in 50 yard increments from 100 to 600 yards in less than one revolution. BDC 600 reticle allows instant range and target adjustments without taking your eyes out of the scope and losing the target. Open-circle aiming points at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards, with hash marks between them for mid-range targeting between those settings. Long-range models feature a side focus knob for instant parallax adjustment without taking your eye away from the rear objective and 60 MOA windage/elevation adjustment range in precise ¼ MOA increments. 1-4x20mm scope has large easy-to-grasp target turrets with 120 MOA windage/elevation adjustment range in ½ MOA clicks.

OCRA-p observations of the CRATES sources at 30 GHz
This page provides the spectra and variability plots for the CRATES sources observed with OCRA-p (Peel et al. 2011), as well as a machine-readable copy of the source list. The abstract for the paper reads:
Abstract: Knowledge of the population of radio sources in the range ~2-200 GHz is important for understanding their effects on measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background power spectrum. We report measurements of the 30 GHz flux densities of 605 radio sources from the Combined Radio All-sky Targeted Eight-GHz Survey (CRATES), which have been made with the One Centimetre Receiver Array prototype (OCRA-p) on the Torun 32-m telescope. The flux densities of sources that were also observed by WMAP and previous OCRA surveys are in broad agreement with those reported here, however a number of sources display intrinsic variability. We find a good correlation between the 30 GHz and Fermi gamma-ray flux densities for common sources. We examine the radio spectra of all observed sources and report a number of Gigahertz-peaked and inverted spectrum sources. These measurements will be useful for comparison to those from the Low Frequency Instrument of the Planck satellite, which will make some of its most sensitive observations in the region covered here.

Wilkinson (2011), "OCRA-p observations of the CRATES sources at 30 GHz", MNRAS, 410, 2690, arXiv:1007.5242v1 [astro-ph.CO]
Plots of the source spectra, and for the 30 GHz flux density of the source over time, are given below. Axis labels are not included in the figures. For the spectral plots, the X-axis is frequency (in GHz), and the Y-axis is flux density (in Jy). For the variability plots, the X-axis is time (in modified Julian date) and the Y-axis is flux density (in mJy). You can also view all of the spectral plots on one page, and also the variability plots all on one page.
A machine-readable copy of the flux densities of the sources at 1.4, 4.8, 8.4 and 30 GHz is available here (UPDATED January 2010 - correcting a ~1% error in the calibration, and the application of the gain-elevation curve, as per the erratum - see page 20 of the preprint on arXiv). There is also a version that includes some notes on the sources (see section 4 of the paper for a description of these). The catalogue is also available for browsing on HEASARC.

Slimmed down Oregon police horse collars suspect
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Murphy the horse, once a woebegone Oregon ranch animal, had to shed 200 pounds to make the Portland police force, and now he has collared his first suspect.
Murphy, carrying Officer Cassandra Wells, galloped six blocks to catch a break-in suspect last week. He kept the suspect trapped next to a building in the Old Town district until officers could cuff him.
"He did everything I needed him to do," Wells told The Oregonian (http://is.gd/eRgfbF).
The arrest caps a ripe-for-the-movies story about a horse that weighed in at 1,900 pounds after his owner, in financial distress, sold him off to a Portland officer searching the Internet for a new member of the city's popular Mounted Patrol Unit.
Murphy was undersize at birth, even though he was born three weeks overdue. He was easily distracted and not considered particularly handsome, unlike a younger half-brother who turned out to be a trophy winner.
So he was given the full name "Murphy's Law," the axiom that if something can go wrong, it will.
"Being honest," owner Randy Snow told the newspaper last year, "we ended up with five horses on the ranch, and old Murphy was always low man on the totem pole."
Murphy got overweight because he wasn't being ridden and because the owners couldn't afford hay. So Murphy roamed the property feeding on grass, a diet The Oregonian likened to an all-pizza diet for humans.
The police bureau's horse trainer, Jennifer Mack, saw possibilities, though, and the city bought the gelding for $3,000.
Murphy went on a strict diet and an aerobic exercise regimen that included an electric walker, a kind of treadmill that prods a horse to keep walking in a circle.
After months of work, Murphy made the grade, and started patrolling in the city's upscale Pearl District.
He's among the eight animals that patrol downtown to the delight of Portlanders. Budget hawks sometimes call for cutting the unit but get nowhere.
And Murphy has turned out right, judged perhaps the second best in the unit when he began patrol duty in January.
"He's awesome," Wells said then. "He wants to keep learning. I couldn't have a better partner."

DavidBereit necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 306 diseños de 79 diseñadores freelance.
Need a professional, eye-catching, modern logo for an online pro-life grassroots recruiting, training, and networking center that will become a recognizable brand identity.
What Logo is For:
This logo is for a brand-new project that is an outreach of the nonprofit pro-life ministry 40 Days for Life (http://www.40daysforlife.com) which has mobilized 175,000 people in 204 cities over the last 18 months.
ProLifeSolutions.com will be a new online pro-life headquarters that will educate, equip, and empower organizations and activists wishing to save children's lives and protect women from the detrimental effects of abortion in their local communities.
The site will feature online tools, training, templates, forums, and best practices to help multiply the effectiveness of local pro-life efforts.
Target Audience:
The target audience will be made up of both men and women, primarily in the age range of 17 - 55.
Final File Format:
Final artwork should be provided in Adobe Illustrator vector format
- Fresh Web 2.0 look
- Modern font (probably sans serif)
- Professional, simple, and clean design
- Visually conveys forward motion, solutions to problems
- Very different look and feel from our 40 Days for Life logo (see http://www.40daysforlife.com)
- The design should work in color for web usage, as well as black and white for one-color print applications
- Part of the logo should be a graphic symbol (non-text) that can also work as a stand alone visual identity, for example as a "bug" watermark in the lower corner of video productions -- similar to the way television networks superimpose their logo in the lower corner of all their programming
- You are welcome to try variations with and without the tagline of "Educate. Equip. Empower." (words need to be separated, but not necessarily with periods)
- Design should be reversible so logo can work on light/white background OR dark background
- Since logo will represent a web URL, there should be clear emphasis on the beginning of each word to make it more readable (for example, capitalize the PLS in ProLifeSolutions.com)
- The .com should have less emphasis and not distract from the overall design
- Please incorporate a small TM trademark symbol into the design
- Sterotypical pro-life or religious design items (i.e. roses, hearts, babies, mothers, crosses, Jesus, Mary, etc.)
- Grunge or gamer look
- Too busy or complex
- Difficult to read
- Odd colors that are hard to complement in a web design
- This logo will be viewed by all age groups, so it should not be geared toward one age group like youth

Parrish Takes Over Ball State Football Programby Brent Harris • December 18, 2008 Share:
Former Wabash coach Stan Parrish has been named the new head coach for the Ball State football program.
Parrish posted a record of 42-3-1 as the head coach of the Little Giants from 1978-82 for a .924 winning percentage, the best winning percentage in the history of Wabash football. He left the Wabash program to take over as head coach at Marshall. Parrish also served as head coach at Kansas State and was an assistant coach at Michigan and for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was part of the Bucs' 2002 Super Bowl championship team.
Parrish has served as an assistant coach at Ball State the past four season before being elevated to the head coaching position with the departure of Cardinals coach Brady Hoke for San Diego State. Parrish has helped Ball State to a 12-1 record, a Mid-American Conference Western Division title, and a berth in the upcoming GMAC Bowl.

Speaking to al-Yawm al-Sabi website, Osama Basyuni said his father had been invited to countries like Canada, the US, India, Singapore, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Lebanon, Britain, Bangladesh and Bahrain for recitation of the Quran.
"I have not been invited by other countries yet but I have travelled to many provinces across Egypt so far," he said.
Osama added that he hopes to recite the Quran elsewhere in the world as well, like his father.
He also said he seeks to enter Egypt's Quran radio as a Qari just like his father who joined the radio in 1976.
As for his Quranic life, Osama said he started memorizing the Quran at an early age, practicing his Quranic skills with his grandfather.
"I would also go to Quranic events with my father and listen to his recitations."
He later started learning Quran recitation and the first time he recited verses from the Quran was in a memorial service in the city of Tanta in 2005.
His performance drew a lot of applause and soon people began inviting him to different ceremonies and programs for Quran recitation.

This is the last outfit for a week or so...I'll be having more real soon with the release of my next lookbook. Remember to follow me on instagram for more daily posts (@caricollazo).

- suescraftstuff:- I try to put all sorts of things into order in a scrapbook. mainly family. I Started scrapbooking in 2009 and now am totally addicted. Just recently I started making a few cards, mainly for friends and family, I really enjoy doing this, but there is such a lot more to learn. currently I am learning to use promarkers, they're fantastic!!... I have a cricut cutting machine, but like to embellish with different mediums rather than just the cricut cutouts. I love lace and flowers, also distressing and embossing. This is just one of my many hobbies I've had over the years, a big part of it was woodcraft and painting.The woodcraft bit I got from my dad, him and my mum are my all time favourite people, my dad was so kind and clever, dad, I miss you, because of him I still dabble in the woodwork a bit too. But I am loving putting all my photo's into a scrapbook, and lately making cards, to keep and remember everone in a much more interesting way than a normal photo album .hopefully it will be passed on in later years.

The latest features of Edgecam CNC software (2012 R1) were recently highlighted at the Innovation for Productivity event, held at Mazak's European technology center in the UK. The event was held in partnership with Mazak, Sandvik, CG Tech Vericut, 3Dconnexion and Edgecam.
The demonstration of the software showed a sample application that took advantage of the new Waveform Roughing Strategy to cut cycle time from 63 minutes to 18 minutes while improving the metal removal rate from 30 cubic centimeters per minute to 135 cubic centimeters per minute.
According to Mike O'Neill, Edgecam engineer, the Waveform Roughing Strategy is the software's biggest innovation for several years and is included in the standard license. Along with the improved metal removal rate from the constant tool load path and smooth toolpath pattern, the new feature is designed to provide greater stability, more precise machining and improved tool life. The improved surface finish can also eliminate secondary cutting cycles.
Mr. O'Neill adds that the latest software version also allows multi-threading toolpaths and background processing, as well as upgrading the five-axis cycle to 64 bit. "Background processing frees the operator to undertake other tasks and has dramatically reduced downtime," he says.
According to Rob Lightfoot, of CG Tech Vericut (which has a seamless interface with Edgecam to verify NC code before it is transferred to the machine), "The software ensures that manufacturers get prototypes right the first time, every time, overcoming issues of proof parts costing too much in terms of setting up, scrap, broken cutters, wasted program time and machine downtime."
Edgecam's website provides a video comparing the waveform roughing cut with that of a traditional tool path. To learn more about the software and the company itself, visit the Edgecam showroom on productionmachining.com.

Some of CPSR's Past Privacy Campaigns
In 1986, CPSR broadened its national program to include the Privacy and Civil Liberties Program, which established a Washington. DC office in 1987. One of the first accomplishments of that office was a report of the proposed upgrade to the FBI's National Crime Information Center. CPSR criticized the FBI for inadequate attention to system security and subject privacy, for poor user authentication requirements and for the inclusion of an entirely new category of criminal justice information, a "tracking" file on suspects of criminal activity. The report led the FBI to drop the tracking file proposal.
Shortly after the Operation Sun Devil raids in which young computer hackers were arrested across the country, Mitch Kapor (founder of the Lotus Development Corporation), writer John Perry Barlow, Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple Computer), and an anonymous fourth donor started the Electronic Frontier Foundation. One of EFF's first acts was to award CPSR a two-year, $275,000 grant to CPSR to support a public education campaign on the importance of protecting civil liberties and First Amendment rights in computer communication. CPSR members have also testified before Congress or submitted statements on virus legislation, telephone privacy, credit privacy, and data.
In 1990, CPSR spearheaded an electronic-mail campaign to force the Lotus corporation not to release a product called Marketplace:Households, which would have provided personal information on over 100,000,000 consumers. After getting over 30,000 messages in opposition to the product, the product was dropped from the Lotus line.
CPSR has filed several lawsuits under the Freedom of Information Act to force government agencies to reveal the extent of their electronic surveillance activities.
In 1991 and 1992, CPSR organized two Washington Roundtables involving dozens of international policy makers to discuss "Civil Liberties and the Electronic Frontier: Mapping the Terrain."
After the Clinton administration announced support for the Clipper Chip,CPSR organized a campaign that collected over 50,000 signatures opposing the Clipper program.
On June 1, 1994, the CPSR program office for Privacy and Civil Liberties became an independent organization called EPIC, the Electronic Privacy Information Center.Return to top

Your browser does not support iframes.
James Stamper fatally stabbed someone 12 times.
John Counts and John Gamble brutally murdered an 18-year-old Shallotte girl.
Ten other men and women committed unimaginable violent murders and rapes right here in Brunswick County.
They were all convicted.
They were all sentenced to prison.
And now, they are all free to live here, maybe right next door or down the street from you.
Brunswick County is among several eastern North Carolina counties currently experiencing a severe drought.
Ahh, county commissioner Charles Warren, just when we think you can't surprise us with your antics again, you do.
Who said politics can't be entertaining?
Wayne Currie with the North Carolina Department of Transportation wants everyone to be more patient with Shallotte's Smith Avenue extension project.
If Memorial Day weekend traffic and busy beaches are indicators, it may be a strong tourist season for Brunswick County this summer.
Brunswick County commissioners have a tough job to do again for the upcoming fiscal year. While the economy continues to suffer, the board must determine how it can most efficiently operate county government without making too deep of cuts to essential services.
Unfortunately, it's likely most who read this know someone who has been affected by this horrific disease.
On Monday Joyce Hankins stood in front of reporters and asked for one thing.
At last, warm weather has settled into the area. As the sun has warmed our spirits, it has also shown brightly on area gardens and fields.
Communities in Schools is a unique program that benefits students throughout Brunswick County.
It looks as if some officials in Calabash may have been trying to pull the wool over their constituents' eyes.
First, the board of commissioners illegally went into closed session March 8, when it discussed the possibility of purchasing property from commissioner Bill Dixon, who was present for the discussion. The board failed to publicly identify the property location and who owned it.
Not only did the board go into closed session improperly, Dixon violated the town's code of ethics by participating in the property purchase discussion.

Brunswick Community College officials, particularly all those involved in the search for the new college president, allow us to pat you on the back.
Thanks to Carol Scott for being a voice of reason on Sunset Beach Town Council.
The council is considering implementing a policy that would regulate how the town deals with public records requests.
Among items included in the proposal is a form that would require each person to provide detailed information including name, contact information and specific public records information requested.
Even though a new director has been hired to lead the Brunswick County Department of Social Services, the agency is still encountering roadblocks.
Calabash town attorney Mark Lewis sent a letter to commissioners last week advising them to release information about a possible property purchase—information that has been withheld from the public since the board met on March 8.
Here we are less than a week after Sunshine Week, and the Calabash Board of Commissioners is showing constituents just cause for why we make such a noise about public records and properly called meetings.
On March 8, the board went into closed session where members apparently discussed property the town might be interested in purchasing. They later came into open session and instructed the town clerk to seek an appraisal on the property.
But they're not saying where the property is located or who owns it.
Would you be OK never knowing why Brunswick County Department of Social Services Director Jamie Orrock was fired, even though thousands of taxpayer dollars have since been spent on related matters?
What if Brunswick County government fired DSS-appointed attorney Gary Shipman and you never knew about it? Would you have been outraged to find out weeks, months or maybe even years later how much money he was expecting the county to pay him post-termination?
Sen. Bill Rabon, R-Brunswick County, is a primary sponsor of Senate Bill 110. If this bill were to gain approval in the General Assembly, it would allow terminal groins to be placed on North Carolina's coastlines.
Terminal groins are hardened structures constructed in coastal areas prone to beach erosion. They are designed to lessen beach erosion by catching and shifting sand along the shoreline.
It was with great sadness last week we learned of the sudden passing of Shallotte Mayor Donald C. "Buddy" Kelly.
Kelly, who died following an illness, was a selfless and tireless community servant.
He earned the respect of all who knew him by being a conscientious listener. He was observant and respected other people's opinions. When he spoke, those who knew and worked with him knew he was being thoughtful and had well evaluated information before sharing his opinion.

Peripheral neuropathy is a type of damage to the nervous system. Specifically, it is a problem with your peripheral nervous system. This is the network of nerves that sends information from your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to the rest of your body.
There are more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy, each with its own set of symptoms and prognosis. To help doctors classify them, they are often broken down into the following categories:
Peripheral neuropathy has many different causes. Some people inherit the disorder from their parents. Others develop it because of an injury or another disorder.
In many cases, a different type of problem, such as a kidney condition or a hormone imbalance, leads to peripheral neuropathy. One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy in the U.S. is diabetes.
These are risk factors for peripheral neuropathy:
The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy vary based on the type that you have and what part of the body is affected. Symptoms can range from tingling or numbness in a certain body part to more serious effects such as burning pain or paralysis.
The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may look like other conditions or medical problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
The symptoms and body parts affected by peripheral neuropathy are so varied that it may be hard to make a diagnosis. If your healthcare provider suspects nerve damage, he or she will take an extensive medical history and do a number of neurological tests to determine the location and extent of your nerve damage. These may include:
Depending on what basic tests reveal, your healthcare provider may want to do more in-depth scanning and other tests to get a better look at your nerve damage. Tests may include:
Usually a peripheral neuropathy can't be cured, but you can do a lot of things to prevent it from getting worse. If an underlying condition like diabetes is at fault, your healthcare provider will treat that first and then treat the pain and other symptoms of neuropathy.
In some cases, over-the-counter pain relievers can help. Other times, prescription medicines are needed. Some of these medicines include mexiletine, a medicine developed to correct irregular heart rhythms; antiseizure drugs, such as gabapentin, phenytoin, and carbamazepine; and some classes of antidepressants, including tricyclics such as amitriptyline.
Lidocaine injections and patches may help with pain in other instances. And in extreme cases, surgery can be used to destroy nerves or repair injuries that are causing neuropathic pain and symptoms.
Lifestyle choices can play a role in preventing peripheral neuropathy. You can lessen your risk for many of these conditions by avoiding alcohol, correcting vitamin deficiencies, eating a healthy diet, losing weight, avoiding toxins, and exercising regularly. If you have kidney disease, diabetes, or other chronic health condition, it is important to work with your healthcare provider to control your condition, which may prevent or delay the onset of peripheral neuropathy.
Even if you already have some form of peripheral neuropathy, healthy lifestyle steps can help you feel your best and reduce the pain and symptoms related to the disorder. You'll also want to quit smoking, not let injuries go untreated, and be meticulous about caring for your feet and treating wounds to avoid complications, such as the loss of a limb.
In some cases, non-prescription hand and foot braces can help you make up for muscle weakness. Orthotics can help you walk better. Relaxation techniques, such as yoga, may help ease emotional as well as physical symptoms.

Guest post: A Bit of Happiness
A Bit of Happiness
by Phil Coen
When people ask me what my favorite restaurant is, I always hesitate and think about the wonderful memories of so many places, but, in the end, I always answer without a doubt that it would have to be Holuakoa Garden. When I am looking for a good restaurant, I am looking for several things; first of all would be the atmosphere. I look for the overall feel of the place, whether it is comfortable and whether I feel at home, as if I belong here. Next, I think about how
What makes Holuakoa Garden stand out from all the other restaurants that I've been to is the ambiance of the restaurant. The restaurant has a romantic feel from its small waterfall to the freshness of the gardens in the middle of the restaurant. The ambiance creates a relaxing dream-like state of mind. All that would be enough to set the full experience Holuakoa Garden has to offer apart, but Holuakoa Garden is located on the side of a mountain overlooking a breathtaking ocean view. I would recommend that you go there at sunset, to get the full experience Holuakoa Garden has to offer. Most of the restaurant is outside, giving it an open unrestrained feel with lovely smells of all the local flowers of Hawaii.
Being in an outstanding setting is only a small part of Holuakoa Garden, for the culinary masterpieces were worthy of a king's last meal. When I had the pleasure of eating there, I started off with a caprese salad. The salad was one-of-a-kind, involving fresh heirloom tomatoes and basil from the restaurant's own garden, topped with a type of balsamic vinegar dressing, pine nuts and of course the mozzarella . The tomatoes made this salad because they were sweet, ripe and juicy, maintaining a bright red and yellow tint. I was left wanting more and wondering, if a salad can be that good, what type of masterpiece did I have to look forward to next?
I ordered the filet mignon since the island was famous for the beef because of the quality of grass due to the volcanic soil. It was something I had been looking forward to the entire trip, so I felt it was a now or never moment. Knowing that I was anticipating a moment of genius from the chef, the staff took its time, building on the anticipation of the upcoming entrée. This made my anticipation of the entrée all that more magical. The filet mignon was artistically centered on the platter with an array of colorful vegetables and potatoes, and lightly drizzled with a savory balsamic reduction making the entrée like a painting. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly to my individual taste. There was nothing that I would change, making for a perfect entrée.
What better way to end a perfect meal than with a special dessert? Earlier in the day I had been hiking in the Hawaiian forests and came across a fruit called lilikoi. After hearing the dessert menu I knew that having a cheesecake with this fruit would be amazing. To bring the night to an eventful close I ordered something I knew would be amazing. When I finally got the dessert, it lived up to my expectations and, in fact, exceeded them. The cheesecake was able to satisfy not only the desire to have something amazing but to have an adventure come to a memorable closing.In conclusion, I recommend this restaurant to anybody that is visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. The only regrettable thing about this restaurant is that it is so difficult to return to, to be able to enjoy it once more. I'll always have a desire to go back, to enjoy not only the wonderful food, but the ambience and landscape that went with it.

It has been over six weeks now since Sebastian started having ABA sessions at home. We have amazing team of volunteers: Shaza, Hue, Jaclyn, Leah, Vennesa and Daniel. Donna Chaney is our most qualified psychologist with decades of experience of working with autistic children who is designing programs and supervising our team. Donna is not only Behavioural Institute professional. Vennesa is working there too and in the future she will take charge of the tasks Donna is doing now. Sebastian is a very lucky boy!
We got the finest group of people you can ever meet. All of them are smart, gentle and enthusiastic. Things are going surprisingly well. Sebastian is improving with each session. Each session is an exiting event. Sebastian is inventing new strategies to get the biggest amount of reinforcers for the least amount of "work", it is endearing to watch indeed, but we are staying ahead of him and i that short time his requesting, washing and drying hands, and brushing teeth has improved already. Another noticeable thing is that Sebastian seems to have better eye contact, his attention and problem solving improved too. That does not always work to my advantage because he is figuring out how to do things i would rather have him not do :)
Jaclyn and Sebastian during one of the first sessions.
Inka is always big part of the picture trying to help with whatever is going on :)

Reporting from Tunis, Tunisia — Weeks of violent protests fueled by corruption, widespread unemployment and a lack of liberty toppled one of the Arab world's most entrenched leaders, who fled this North African country Friday after 23 years of rule.
President Zine el Abidine ben Ali handed power to his prime minister, Mohamed Ghannouchi. Authorities established a curfew across the nation of 10 million people, and the prime minister promised broad consultations starting Saturday on political and economic reforms.
Ben Ali's departure was a major milestone in the Arab world, where longstanding authoritarian rulers exercise tight control. The Tunisian uprising, launched after a street vendor who was being hassled by security forces set himself on fire, may be the first time in recent history in which an Arab public rather than a political rival or foreign invader has managed to oust a dictator.
The development, broadcast virtually nonstop across the region by satellite television channels, mesmerized the Arab world.
Demonstrations against kings and presidents in the Middle East usually are crushed by pervasive security forces. The kind of nationwide protests that forced Ben Ali to flee are rare, and they offer a glimpse of the vulnerabilities of leaders in countries such as Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, where frustration with restricted civil liberties and joblessness is high.

I liked this book because Kate kept asking questions that I had about heaven, too. I liked when her Mom answered the questions about what heaven was like and if there is a "people heaven" and "animal heaven" because my bunny rabbit died when I was six years old. My favorite part of the book was when Kate went to her cousin's house. I liked that part best because Kate got to ask more questions. She asked if her great-grandma had died. When I was three years old my great-grandma died and I wanted to see what answers Kate got from her cousin.
This book was different from other books I've read because it had questions about heaven and then the questions were answered. This book was also different because it wasn't imaginary. It talked about something serious.
The pictures in this book look like chalk drawings. The illustrator uses a lot of light colors. Almost every page has a picture.
I would recommend this book to second and third graders who wonder about heaven and what it is like. I would recommend that a parent or an older brother or sister read this book to a second or third grader because some of the words are hard. You can also ask the person who is reading it to you your questions.

Former University of Florida football star Aaron Hernandez is charged with one murder in Massachusetts and is being investigated in another shooting there.
Former University of Florida football star Aaron Hernandez is charged with one murder in Massachusetts and is being investigated in another shooting there.
And he is being sued in South Florida by a man who claims Hernandez shot him.
But authorities in Gainesville said they have no evidence that Hernandez was involved in a shooting in 2007 for which he and several other UF players were questioned.
"Hernandez's name came up once in the report and he was questioned very briefly," said Gainesville police officer Ben Tobias. "Anytime we have an incident like that, we investigate and follow any lead whatsoever. We got his name as being in the area of that club, so we questioned him."
The shooting happened Sept. 30, 2007 in the 1200 block of W. University Avenue.
Corey T. Smith, now 33, and Justin E. Glass, now 24, were in a car stopped in westbound traffic when Smith, the passenger, was shot in the head. Glass was shot in the arm by a man police said walked up to the car and fired several shots from a handgun.
The men were able to drive themselves to a hospital.
Smith's aunt, Stephanie Hines, told The Sun a year later that the men had been at The Venue nightclub downtown when tempers flared after someone snatched a chain necklace off another person.
A disturbance then occurred outside the club. Glass and another man in the car with Smith during the shooting were possibly involved in the disturbance, Hines said.
Police questioned former Florida player Reggie Nelson, who was then playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and several Gators who police did not identify at the time.
"My memory is that GPD was having a lot of trouble getting cooperation from the Pouncey twins (Mike and Maurkice) in terms of coming down and talking to them. Sooner or later they got their hands on the Pounceys," said State Attorney Bill Cervone. "I never remember hearing Hernandez's name, or Reggie Nelson. But if they got their hands on them and talked to them, they weren't hot and bothered by them."
No one was ever charged in the shooting and it remains an open case.
Maurkice Pouncey currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Pouncey for the Miami Dolphins.
Hernandez played for UF from 2007 to 2009. He was drafted by the New England Patriots, who cut him following his murder arrest Wednesday in Massachusetts.
Killed was a friend of Hernandez, Odin Lloyd, 27. Two other suspects have also been arrested in connection with the case.
Hernandez also is being investigated regarding a 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston in which two people were killed.
Meanwhile, Hernandez is being sued by Alexander Bradley, 30, of Connecticut. Bradley alleges Hernandez shot him in the face in February in Riviera Beach after they had been at a strip club together.
