By the end of this time management article you will have an important gift – a bundle of time to get more things done today.
Sound too good to be true? Well, it's a simple fix — all you need to do is eliminate four bad time management habits and stop wasting time today.
1. Stop Random Email Checks
Popping in and out of your inbox creates a "start-stop-start" pattern of work activity. Your wasted time quickly adds up when you consider the time it takes to refocus after each stop. A dozen email trips each day can cost you one completed product each week.
If you want to be productive, don't make checking emails the first thing to do in the morning. Here's why.
And unless you are expecting an important task-related message, each day you should schedule the 3 specific time slots for checking email: mid-morning, after lunch, and mid-afternoon.
For that matter, the same goes for your voicemail, text messages and other smartphone-related activities. Reduce these harmful interruptions by sticking to a set schedule.
2. Quit "Winging-it"
Quick story alert: There was a time in my life when I would get lost while driving. A lot. For a while I thought I was a hopelessly directionally-challenged individual. But then it finally dawned on me that I was usually just "winging it". I was setting off without a plan or direction.
Most people start their days without a roadmap and end up aimlessly wandering around what's important, wasting time along the way. Sadly, those who choose to skip planning mistakenly believe they are saving time, a folly obvious to your boss, co-workers, and clients.
Honestly, 5 minutes is all you need to establish a short list of tasks, create a daily schedule, and prioritize your activities in the order of importance. By creating a plan each morning you'll have much more success in follow-through on what matters most.
3. Don't Be an Interruption Magnet
Let's face it, some people are more open to distractions than others. Do you find yourself beginning work on a priority task only to be interrupted by a passing co-worker?
It's possible that you are inviting distraction into your world like a magnet.
The good news is you're not alone. This is a common form of procrastination, not following through on your priorities, and time being wasted. Fix it by learning to close your door, both physically and figuratively:
- Each day, choose two separate "task hours" where you can close your office door.
- Identify important tasks where undivided attention is a priority.
- Communicate your limited availability to your co-workers by email or sign on the door; specify options for reaching you with urgent matters during this time.
- Silence your cellphone – shut off your ringer and create a custom voicemail greeting that details your availability.
- Close your email client to avoid the temptation to check-in.
- Unplug from the Internet — shutting down any potential distractions.
- Once you've found success, try adding a third task hour to your routine.
Learning the self-discipline to stay on task doesn't always come naturally. But remember — when you prioritize a task as highly important, you're giving yourself permission to shut yourself off from interruptions.
4. End Your Silent Procrastination
Procrastination is usually easy to spot, especially when you're playing solitaire, scrolling Facebook or gazing out the office window. But there's another type of procrastination that involves "busywork" — working on non-essential tasks. I call it the "silent killer" because you may not even realize you're doing anything wrong.
Any time you spend on less important activities is a step backward, especially when time-sensitive priority tasks and goals are concerned.
Stop this time-wasting sinkhole by giving your priorities some teeth:
- Don't just take time to put your task list in order — understand why it is important to you and your goals, this makes easier to stay disciplined and follow through.
- Use Time Boxing, a reliable time management practice that consists of scheduling your tasks in fixed time segments, or boxes, with specific start and finish times.
- When you tell yourself what you should be doing and when, it reduces the intimidation factor of having large projects and open spaces of time.
- Create task reminders using your day planner, Outlook, or by simply setting an egg timer and working until it rings.
Structuring your task time works because it provides an appealing set of instructions in your mind about when to start and when to stop.

text: Hockey is not generally known for producing heart-warming moments, but there was a notable exception at yesterday's game between the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs. During a break in play, Alicia was brought out on the ice where her girlfriend Christina surprised her with a proposal and impressively managed to do the whole thing without falling down. Even though Christina is a Senators fan and Alicia was rooting for the Maple Leafs, Alicia said yes—as the mascot helpfully informed us with his sign—and the crowd went wild. Looks like there is yet another benefit to legalizing same-sex marriage: even more sports game proposals. Everybody wins.

Celtic's Champions League Group H campaign got up and running at the third time of asking after their 2-1 win over Ajax at Parkhead.
A rather tame first 45 minutes ended in drama when James Forrest scored from the spot with two minutes remaining after Ajax defender Stefano Denswil had clattered Hoops striker Anthony Stokes.
Midfielder Beram Kayal scored a second in the 54th minute with a deflected shot to give the home side a cushion.
In the 88th minute Hoops substitute Nir Biton, who replaced Mikael Lustig, was shown a straight red card by referee Ivan Bebek for his challenge on Thulani Serero before Ajax substitute Lasse Schone grabbed an injury-time consolation.
The Scottish champions have three valuable points from three fixtures ahead of their trip to Amsterdam in a fortnight's time.
The Hoops went into the game without suspended skipper Scott Brown and injured duo, Kris Commons and Adam Matthews, but they showed they had more than enough quality left for the Dutch side.
Ajax defender Christian Poulsen hit the post in 29 minutes but that aside, there was no real pressure on the Hoops goal in the opening period. Fraser Forster made a crucial save from Serero just before Celtic got the second but the home side were well worth their win and can travel to Holland with confidence.
There was a feeling of do-or-die inside Celtic Park before the game with both sides knowing defeat would probably end their chances of progression in the tournament.
Despite losing skipper Scott Brown to suspension and Kris Commons and Adam Matthews to injury, the home side were boosted by the return of defenders Lustig and Emilio Izaguirre from a hip injury and illness respectively.
Forrest, who scored in the 1-1 Scottish Premiership draw with Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday after coming on as substitute, came back into the team as the visitors started with Kolbeinn Sigthorsson leading their line.
It was a tentative start to the game by the Dutch champions who looked uncertain in possession as Celtic pressed them high up the pitch.
However, in the 10th minute, in Ajax's first real foray, a deflected cross from Daley Blind had Forster troubled before he cleared with his foot. Moments later, Parkhead striker Teemu Pukki did not get enough on a fine cross from Lustig and the ball flew wide of the target.
As the first half unfolded, Ajax began to move forward with a bit more fluency but without posing the goal threat which the home side hinted at when they approached the Dutch target. Just before the half-hour mark, however, the Parkhead side had a lucky escape.
A deep free-kick from Viktor Fischer from wide sailed over to the back post where Poulsen sent a low volley crashing off the post with the Hoops defence scrambling the ball to safety.
Three minutes later, following a Charlie Mulgrew free-kick which had been cleared the packed Dutch defence, Kayal was given a roar of approval by the home fans when he raced back to rob Fisher of the ball as he was ready to go clean through on goal.
Forrest's penalty, which he slammed high past Jasper Cillessen, followed some delaying tactics from the Ajax keeper – with referee Bebek booking Poulsen and Joel Veltman and Hoops defender Virgil van Dijk.
In the 53rd minute Forster brilliantly denied Serero after the Ajax player had slipped through the Hoops defence with some ease. Moments later the home side were two goals up. Samaras' cross from the left was cleared to Kayal 20 yards from goal and his side-footed shot appeared to take a deflection off Denswil before nestling behind Cillessen.
The match opened up further. As Ajax desperately tried to get back into the game Sigthorsson missed the target from 12 yards when he only had Forster to beat. However, Celtic looked just as likely to get a third. Serero blasted over the bar in the 75th minute after getting the break of the ball and with that, the Dutch side's chances all but disappeared.
Forster made another good save with five minutes remaining, this time from Blind's drive, before Biton got a straight red for a hefty challenge on Serero.
Schone's fine strike reduced the deficit but soon after the final whistle sounded – bringing a roar from Celtic fans, knowing their Champions League hopes have been rekindled.

The Hindu Business Line, New Delhi
November 16, 2012
India is likely to emerge as the second most competitive economy in the world after China in terms of manufacturing in the next five years, says a report.
According to the 2013 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index compiled by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and the US Council on Competitiveness, five years from now, emerging economies would surge to occupy the top three spots.
China would retain the top spot, while, India and Brazil moving up to claim second and third rankings respectively, the report said.
"India's focused and comprehensive national manufacturing strategy, democratic governance and infrastructure development over the next five years may unlock the potential for CEOs around the world to see this rising star," the report said.
The five developed economy nations that were ranked in the top 10 today include - Germany (2nd), the US (3rd), South Korea (fifth), Canada (seventh) and Japan (tenth), while five emerging economy nations were also ranked in the top 10 today: China (first), India (fourth), Taiwan (sixth), Brazil (eighth), and Singapore (ninth).
Meanwhile, in the next five years developed economy nations are likely to slip lower in the executive rankings with Germany moving from second to fourth, the US from third to fifth, South Korea from fifth to sixth, Canada from seventh to eighth and Japan falls out of the top 10 moving from tenth to twelfth.
Brazil's jump from eighth to third is the largest jump expected over the next five years. And, Vietnam moves into the top 10 as the tenth most competitive nation.
According to the report talent—driven innovation is deemed the most critical driver of a nation's competitiveness, while, second most important driver position is the economic, trade, financial and tax system of a nation.
This study gathers data from more than 550 CEOs and senior manufacturing leaders and ranks the 38 countries in terms of their manufacturing competitiveness at present and in the next five years.

Students celebrate Festival of Colors
Friday, March 29, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
It hasn't seemed much like spring lately, but warmer weather is on the way and Pittsburg State University's Indian Students Association (ISA) is eager for Americans to join them as they say an emphatic 'goodbye' to winter on Saturday, March 30.
The ISA will host Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors, from noon to 3 p.m. on March 30, at the University Lake. Holi is a Hindu festival observed at the end of the winter season on the last full-moon day of the lunar month. It marks the victory of good over evil and its most notable aspect is that participants throw colored powder and colored water at each other and dance in wild celebration.
In India, participants light bonfires on the eve of the festival to recall the Hindu story of young Prahlad, who was carried into the fire by Demoness Holika. Holika was burned but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of the Hindu god Vishnu, escaped without injury because of his unshakable devotion.
For information, call 386-847-6019.

Understanding the Different Modes/Styles of Learning
By Shari Harpaz, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
As adults, we all have various strengths and weaknesses. The same is true when it comes to styles of learning — there are some styles that are very effective for us and some that don't work as well. Sometimes we lose sight of this when it comes to our children. Once a child enters school, we often assume that they are going to learn all subjects with equal ease, not taking into account the method by which their teacher chooses to teach them. Since this is clearly not a fair assumption to make, it is important to understand how different learning cues can help your child throughout their school-aged years.
Children use a combination of modalities to help them learn and as they grow they may start favoring one learning style over another. For example, newborns will rely heavily on tactile (touch) input to relate to the world around them, but as they develop, they will begin to use visual, motor, and auditory (sounds) cues with greater frequency.
By the time they are toddlers tactile cues are used less frequently (e.g. they will no longer mouth objects) and they will more readily seek visual, motor, and/or auditory input. Children's songs such as Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy Spider are a great example of auditory, motor, tactile, and visual cues used in combination to sustain the toddler's attention and interest.
As a child moves towards the pre-school and school-aged years, the majority of input will be through visual and auditory cues and less so through tactile and motor stimulation.
As children progress through their school years, they may have a stronger preference for one modality over another in helping them learn. For example: If your child has an easier time copying a design after you have demonstrated it, they may be more of a visual learner. However, if your child is able to listen to your directions and create the intended design on their own, they may be more of an auditory learner. Thus by understanding your child's preferred cues, you can better assist them in their schoolwork and in achieving their highest potential.
Please keep in mind that for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers it is ideal to use cues from as many modalities as possible in helping them learn about the world around them. However, as your child progresses through the school age years, you may want to supplement what they are learning in school using the modes/strategies that favor your child's strengths.
For further information regarding styles of learning, I recommend A Mind at a Time by Mel Levine, MD.
Below is a brief description of the different modalities and how they may impact learning:
- Tactile (touch): This includes all the ways that things in the environment feel: textures (silky, rough, hard, soft etc.), size, wet/dry, slippery to name a few. We can also feel motion (i.e. the direction an object rotates).
- Motor: Once a child begins moving around in their environment, their ability to explore increases infinitely. They obtain a better sense of themselves as related to the world around them and can now reach objects that were not available to them when stationary.
- Visual: Visual input includes everyday objects and images, pictures, facial expressions, gestures (i.e. waving hello). The visual cues may help add context and meaning to the spoken word and help us remember the information better. However, too much visual input (i.e. flying paper airplanes) may distract us from what is being said and cause us to miss portions of the spoken word.
- Auditory: The sounds we hear come in many different forms: melody, intonation, sounds, words, sentences, 'white noise', sirens etc. Our brain receives all of this input and sifts through what is relevant information vs. ambient noise. With ample background noise (children moving desks or whispering in a classroom) it may be more difficult to hone in on the salient information that we need (i.e. a teacher giving directions).

Take Dad: Cody Banks wows big guys, too
Things to Do After School:
Find a date for the dance
Save the world
Obviously inspired by Spy Kids, Agent Cody Banks moves the young secret agent premise a step closer to reality, in part by shifting the hero to the north side of puberty, so– in addition to pop quizzes and popping zits– he has to worry about being popped by enemies of the free world.
Hey, all the good paper routes were taken.
The idea is that the CIA recruited (maybe Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is true!) 20 kids and put them through training disguised as summer camp, then let them resume normal life until they were needed.
The time comes for almost-16-year-old Seattleite Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) when the father of local girl Natalie Connors (Hilary Duff) gets mixed up with an evil genius who wants to convert his peaceful invention into a device for world domination. Martin Donovan plays Dr. Connors. Ian McShane is bad Dr. Brinkman with Arnold Vosloo ("The Mummy") as his henchman, Molay.
Just about stealing the movie is Angie Harmon (Abbie Carmichael on Law & Order) as Ronica Miles, assigned by CIA Director Keith David to be Cody's "handler." With a Wonder Bra doing wonders for her, Ronica strides into the boys' locker room to put Cody to work. She's funny, she's sexy, and she kicks ass like all three of Charlie's Angels rolled into one. While the rest of Agent Cody Banks is a young man's fantasy she turns it into a fantasy for older boys– up to, say, 90. The character deserves her own spinoff.
Now, the Codester can spew facts like an encyclopedia and do physical feats Clark Kent would envy, but when he tries to talk to a girl he finds attractive, he gets so tongue-tied she thinks he's in Special Ed. In the real world, the CIA would get Cody laid in hopes of overcoming his shyness, but this being a PG movie (a heavy-on-violence PG movie) they assemble a "team of experts" to coach him with amusingly contradictory, uniformly useless advice.
Being a secret agent, Cody can't tell his parents (Cynthia Stevenson, Daniel Roebuck) or precocious 10-year-old brother (Connor Widdows, underused) about his activities. That creates some amusing sit(com)uations, as when what looks like the entire CIA does Cody's household chores to give him time for his mission. (They promise to do his homework, too, but that dodgy area isn't gone into.)
The spy stuff is clichéd and silly, but a serviceable excuse to hold the movie together. (The plot works better than it did last year in The Tuxedo.) Martial arts fights are surprisingly well put together, especially considering the disappointing nature of the first action sequence. There's not a single believable shot as Cody chases a runaway car down a hill on his skateboard, and the editing doesn't help.
Driving cool cars (and getting a license at 15), playing with awesome toys, hanging with a hot chick and getting (not in the Biblical sense) the girl– what more could a teenage boy fantasize about?
Agent Cody Banks is a delight for kids and has guilty pleasure potential for adults.

Additionally, a compass is displayed at the top left to aid orientation.
When a landmark is reached, the system outputs the message "Landmark XX reached".
Recording a trip section (trace)
With off-road navigation you can record a section
of a trip, even in undigitized areas. You do this by
setting navigation points.
A section of this type is called a trace.
Traces can be recorded in off-road mode while route guidance is active.
The maximum number of traces that you can record and store in the destination memory is 15.
Traces are not stored in the list of previous destinations.
Map display during trace recording
During trace recording, the recorded route of the trace is shown as a blue line in the map display.

I've a TIFF-file. Loading the raster image into QGIS does not display correctly. (Using the
Add raster layer button.) It seems to be distorted with noise. See image below:
The source of the TIFF file is a 300 dpi scanned document. Other scanned documents display correctly.
Projection doesn't matter as the image is not georeferenced yet.
I'm using qgis-1.7.0 in a sabayon-linux environment.
What's the source of this problem? Did anyone else encounter this before? Thanks for any hints or experience on this topic.

Sorry meant to say that i am not considering skipping law school. Please do not reply here and tell me how bad the job market is and that i shouldnt put myself in that kind of debt. I've done the research i am fully aware of the risk and understand how the job market is, i asked which school i should choose between the two so telling me to not go to law school is pointless.
I understand and respect eveything both of you are saying and I dont mean to sound like i am ignoring you. However, I am set on going to law school. I am fortunate because i have someone who i believe can get me a job at a law firm that i am presently working at as an assistant, granted that i do very well in law school. Because of that I think i find myself in a little different situation then most.
The reason i was asking what school i should go to is because nothing in life is guaranteed, so i understand that the law firm job may not work out and in that case i wanted to know which school would give me a better opportunity to succeed.

…discovering that I've been cited in the Daily Mail. They picked up on my criticism of the MFAP hypothesis, and illustrated it with a photo of a slender naked woman.
I'll hang my head in shame the rest of the day.
But at least they got the story right, and quoted extensively from my article that ridiculed the idea that humans are the product of ape-pig hybridization.

As we feared, the government has decided that polar bears are at risk because of melting arctic ice. Radical environmentalists are elated because they insist ice is melting from global warming. What's certain to follow is a flurry of lawsuits to stop everything from oil exploration to building projects anywhere in the country because they emit greenhouse gases, which environmental alarmists claim heat the planet.
"The industries most likely to be pummeled by the polar bear are energy production, aggregates extraction, transportation and commercial building because each can be shown quite easily to result in increased emissions of greenhouse gases, and each routinely requires federal permits to go about some aspect of their business," wrote Hugh Hewitt, an Orange County law professor specializing in natural resource law. "The coal industry may be target No. 1, followed by oil drilling in the lower 48" states.
Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, paints an equally bleak picture: "CEI can easily imagine a scenario in which environmental litigants sue to enjoin builders, developers, utilities, manufacturers, banks, etc. from going about their otherwise lawful pursuits on the grounds that the associated emissions endanger polar bear habitat."
In short, the Bush administration decision to designate polar bears "threatened" means an already slowed economy will slow more as green-inspired lawsuits block or kill this full range of activities.
When Interior Secretary Dick Kempthorne listed the polar bear as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act, he tried to argue the decision shouldn't "open the door to use" the act "to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." Environmental activists say otherwise. An attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity said last week that any effort to limit the designation to avoid clamping down on emissions would be "illegal and won't hold up in court."
The first likely price will be in the cost of oil, as world demand continues climbing, but U.S. production will be further impeded. Can $200 a barrel be far off?
All this is based on a string of shaky assumptions that should have given reasonable people pause. The government argued polar bears are threatened by melting polar ice. That's an assumption. There's no reason to believe retreating ice threatens hugely adaptive polar bears, who have vastly grownin number over 40 years. There's also next to no evidence greenhouse gases cause ice to melt, let alone that man's minuscule contribution significantly contributes to atmospheric warming. Those also are assumptions based on questionable projections, in turn based on assumptions fed into computers. But assumptions rule the day, at least for now.
Lawyer Hewitt suggests turning environmentalists' tactics back on them by suing to halt other greenhouse-gas emitting activities, such as private jet use, a favorite indulgence of lip-service greens like Al Gore who jet around "to carry their climate-change gospel around the globe."
That has some appeal, but we'd prefer a more practical and less vindictive response. Alas, those seem fewer than before since a Republican administration has now opened the door for radical environmentalists to implement their agenda by government fiat. Unfortunately, as Sen. James Inhofe, a critic of global warming alarmism, observed, listing polar bears as threatened "appears to be based more on politics than science."

A Shohola man is accused of stealing electricity from PPL Electric Utilities and using it to power an indoor hydroponic marijuana farm with 134 plants.
A Shohola man is accused of stealing electricity from PPL Electric Utilities and using it to power an indoor hydroponic marijuana farm with 134 plants.
State police were contacted in September by a revenue protection specialist with PPL, who reported that the resident at 436 Little Walker Road was stealing power by bypassing the meter outside the house, and that so much power was being used that two transformers had been blown on separate occasions.
The transformers were replaced at a total cost of $8,000, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
The PPL official noted that power theft is suspicious because growers try to conceal high power usage and cut costs by stealing electricity. He noticed another indicator: mold or a mossy material growing on the north side of the house's siding, according to court papers.
State police knocked on the door Sept. 6. At first there was no answer, but after 40 minutes, according to the affidavit of probable cause, Shane Enriquez, 27, stepped outside wearing shorts and flip flops.
Police noticed fertilizer on his feet and found marijuana leaves in his pocket.
Enriquez was taken into police custody for the power theft. While in custody, according to the police report, Enriquez said he had some growing lights inside.
A search warrant turned up 134 marijuana plants, growth lights, and other indoor growing materials.
Enriquez was charged with criminal mischief and theft of services for the power theft and damaging the transformers, according to Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin.
For the growing operation, Enriquez was charged with possession with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Enriquez is scheduled for trial in January. He could face up to 20 years in prison, according to Tonkin.

Date Issued: February 25, 2013
This web site, published by Wyatt Investment Research LLC, is an investment newsletter advisory that is built on the premise of assisting individual investors in learning about investing. Our goal as publishers of financial information is to provide unbiased research and analysis of investments to our subscribers.
We strive to find rewarding investments for our subscribers, and in no way want that to be tarnished. An integral part of that effort is our disclosure policy.
Wyatt Investment Research encourages its employees and contributors to its publications ("covered persons") to invest in individual stocks. We believe that in doing so, our employees and contributors to our publications are better able to understand the stock market and share this knowledge and share our experiences with subscribers. After all, who would want to join an investment newsletter where the employees never made their own investments?
Further, Wyatt Investment Research does permit its employees to invest in companies discussed within the newsletter. We have, however, put in place strict restrictions and disclosure policies in order to put the interests of our subscribers first and foremost.
Below you will find the details of this policy.
Our full disclosure policy is designed to keep you fully aware of any stocks that are owned by covered persons and also discussed within our newsletters.
When we mention a company within an issue of a newsletter and a covered person owns the stock in an investment account they control (directly or indirectly), that position is fully disclosed.
All companies covered within the newsletter and whose securities are also owned by covered persons are listed at the bottom of each issue or article in the Disclaimer.
Trading Restrictions
In addition to full disclosure, we have also developed trading restrictions which apply to all covered persons. These restrictions apply to stocks covered within newsletters published by Wyatt Investment Research (with the exception of $100k Portfolio and Options Advantage, where editor Ian Wyatt executes trades in his personal portfolio and shares those with subscribers).
Once the editor, research analyst, or writers have decided to begin coverage of a new company, that company is placed on a "Restricted List" which bars trading in that company's securities effectively immediately, and for two full trading days after the date of the publishing of that article. Covered persons must disclose any positions in companies on the Restricted List immediately.
In the event that covered persons do own shares, WIR will not publish an initial report on a company until five trading days have passed from the date of the most recent transaction, and the fact of such ownership will be disclosed.
Covered persons cannot buy or sell shares for two days after the issuance of an initial report on a company. Since many companies are mentioned regularly in update issues or alerts, this restriction only applies to initial research reports to purchase a company, and subsequent recommendations to sell a company.
"Tipping" non-employees in advance of a report that will be written about a specific company is strictly forbidden, as is the use of third parties to circumvent our company's policies.
Wyatt Investment Research generates revenues from advertising in our free publications, and subscriptions to our paid subscription investment newsletters.
Wyatt Investment Research is a publisher of independent newsletter services, and does not receive compensation in exchange for writing articles about stocks in the regular issues of our publications. Our publications do send third party advertisements, with proper disclosures to tell recipients that these are in fact advertisements.
We do sell advertising to other companies including brokerage firms, web sites, publicly traded issuers, investor relations firms, and investment publications, among others. Wyatt Investment Research makes no warranty as to the policies of these organizations, and in no way endorses their offers, services, or the content of their advertisements.
When an advertiser is a publicly traded company or a third party acting on behalf of a public company, we fully disclose all compensation in the email advertisement. Such disclosure is included in a disclosure statement in each of the advertisements sent via email.

A life that's hard enough
and a heart thats weak enough
it sometimes doesnt make sense
why they have to exist in a bluff
coz when one's squeezed out of the other
it wouldn't matter why...
To the cussed life its the heart that beats for it
To the lame heart, its the life that oozes out of it
This way they go on for years
trapped in a cauldron
that makes the life dry, and the heart bleed
makin it seem like a comedy of errors
It takes love to come by
for the life to learn to live
and the heart to learn to beat
The heart tells love i'll do everythin you want me to
The life says i wanna be a part of you
and each day they keep falling in love with love all the more
the truce is broken, enemy lines are drawn
to have their own happy endings and rewrite tales of yore
My heart and my life still fight
but when love asks me what I feel,
I say love
When it asks how I know, I say trust
But its never enough
coz I alwaz lose to the showy brilliance of my heart and my life.
Everytime I wanna tell you
That its every little thing you do
that makes me fall in love with you -
There isnt a way I can show you
ever since I've come to know you
And its every little thing you say
that makes my everyday
But there isnt a thing I can point to
maybe its every little thing you do
Its quite a fight to keep one's dreams alive
when the heart and life want to tear it in pieces,
in a million crossroads when there should be none
if only there were signs to show me what direction i should follow.
If i'm so deep in my wounds, maybe i'll be gone tomorrow
hey love, i dont want you to feel my sorrow
It'll be enough if you could pick up the pieces....pieces of me
You wont know my mind my love,
Not that it would ever make a difference
my heart and my life will never surrender
even if you take them away from me
but i promise they'll be with you till the end
they wont let you down
They'll fight for you now, together
with unflinching and undoubtable belief
They'll take you to your happy ending
and if i forget to be there,
i'll watch from afar..
and be glad that more than a part of me
could be a part of what was meant to be...
anything,everything.... for you...

GLEN ELLYN -- Entering the postseason, Rock Valley College's men's basketball team had tied the school record for victories in a season at 24. And the Golden Eagles did it with a fast-paced attack.
But in Friday night's NJCAA Div. III Region IV playoff semifinal, they had to find a different way to win.
So in a slow, controlled contest against host College of DuPage, Jared Mayes and LT Davis took over and lifted RVC to a 71-64 victory,
"It was really a controlled game," Head Coach Craig Doty said. "It was slowed down. It wasn't our brand of basketball, but we found a way to win."
After a tight first half that saw seven ties and seven lead changes, the Golden Eagles held a slim 33-27 lead. But Mayes took charge and led RVC on a run that saw the lead grow to 16.
"Mayes kind of put the team on his back, like's he's been doing the entire season," Doty said.
But DuPage didn't give in. The Chaparral's went on a run of their own and cut the margin to six with three minutes left. That's when Davis proved clutch.
"LT hit a big 3 right at the shot-clock buzzer that put us back up by nine," Doty said.
Mayes finished with a team-high 27 points on 8-for-13 shooting, while Davis knocked in 21, including five 3-pointers.
The win, which broke the old school record set by the 2001 team, pushed RVC into today's 3 p.m. championship game against the winner from Friday's second game between Harper and Joliet. Today's winner advances, to Nationals in Loch Sheldrake, N.Y. on March 13-15.

It is a Tuesday morning and I have a stinking cold. I have this now as yesterday I spent the day recovering from the last three weeks and so my body thought it was time to give me all the infections that had been going around the department previously which it had been storing up for a special occasion!
The melt down has occurred through a culmination of the collection moving, a synoptic collection being created and the hosting of the Dipterists Forum at the weekend based in the New Darwin Centre. However it was fab. For months now I had been organising catering, room booking, way-signs etc etc with the rest of the team being enlisted to make labels, print forms, lug equipment around etc. And yet still on Saturday morning when everyone turned up there were still things that went wrong (not helped by the tube shutting both the district and circle lines!!! ). I guess that had to be expected.
But we had four fabulous talks on Saturday morning to an audience of just under 60 in the new Neil Chalmers Lecture theatre. First up was Chris Thompson (eminent American Dipterologist) who talked about the state of Diptera identification from it's beginnings to now. It is always lovely to hear someone from the States to say how brilliant the UK is about certain things, one of which is level of which our fauna is studied and the passion of the wider community for recording etc. This is seen with things like the hoverfly recording scheme. Looking at a world map showing spots where records had been added to GBIF etc. The UK is absolutely covered with the rest of the world showing a distinct lack of sites (apart from Chris's backyard!).
Next was the fabulous Geoff Hancock (Glasgow Museum - all the more fabulous for stepping in at late notice) who gave a talk on specific craneflies that you could identify through the pupal cases that they left behind. This is a secondary character that enables ecologists to monitor populations without killing any of the specimens so are crucial when dealing with rare and/or endangered species.
After coffee we started with Graham Rotheray (Edinburgh Museum) who discussed higher Dipteran larvae, specifically their feeding apparatus. Some excellent photographs showing the very reduced structures associated with the heads. And finally Stuart Ball who gave a talk on recent work on Hoverflies. Lot's of fun with modelling of the data! We dragged everyone upstairs to our lovely new common room giving a few people vertigo on the way for lunch! The afternoon resumed with the AGM followed by individual recording groups detailing the years activity. Some lovely photographs supplied by Judy Webb for Peter Chandlers Mycetophila talk.
Then off to the pub! followed by a meal. Brilliant
The next day a fair number of people returned to the museum for a tour and then to play in the collections! The tour started with Hannah Cornish giving an introduction and show round of the AMC for UK biodiversity.
They were impressed by the space and hopefully you will see some workshops on Diptera identification being run from there soon. Next was the UK Diptera synoptic collection. This collection was finished on Friday at 4.15pm!! Nigel Wyatt, Kim G, Hannah and I have worked solidly over the last two weeks to get the collection in. I was a walking zombie often leaving past nine at night. One night even my Mum helped although she did spend a fair amount of time laughing at all the species names. But against much adversity it was completed (albeit the slide and the ones that we had no pads for! they turned up this morning!) But by the time the tour started 250 drawers were in the synoptic collection and being looked over by the amateur specialists. It was such a lovely site.
We then carried up to see the spirit collection (and try and presuade them that they wanted to help sort material ) followed by a look in the imaging lab. Finally we showed them the cocoon ends and the main British and World collection in their new homes. They loved it! People split off and either corrected the synoptic collection, retrieved data off labels, used the collection to aid in identifications, or generally just nosed around 'ohhing' and 'ahhing' every now and again. People donated material and there were many offers of future donations to fill the main gaps in the collection
We have decided to hold another session similar to this in February before the sampling kicks in again to provide opportunities for the group to cross check material etc. My highlights were the hedgehog fly and i have to say I was very impressed with some of the Tachinids (not a group i usually look at). Stuart Balls comment of having walk through genitalia was my favourite of the day

Well, the run is officially over for Petko, but what an amazing run it was. On some level it was reminiscent of Sam's 2010 run at Roland Garros, taking out the #1 player and former #1 player in surprising fashion. I might have let my imagination run a little bit and think that Petko's run would follow the same turn: take out yet another former #1 and then lose to a non-former #1 in the final.
I don't think Masha liked that story. And I'm pretty sure she didn't want to see that damn dance ever again. Leave it to her to retire it for good. Based on her presser comments, I'm thinking that dance was on her mind:
Q: She thought you would be tired in the third after the long match you had the previous night. Didn't seem to be that way.
Sharapova: Because I didn't do the dance after. I wasn't tired.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. HAH. Haha. Heh.
Petko came out firing on a windy day in Stadium Court, playing just like she had been practicing a few hours before. She played steadily and let Maria make the early mistakes, which she seemed happy to do. Whether it was the wind or concern over her ankle, Masha wasn't moving her feet to the ball, often finding herself either jammed or reaching. Petko's steady play, it wasn't spectacular, just steady, got her the first set without too much drama, 6-3.
"I felt like I was just making a lot of errors in the first set and I wasn't moving my feet at all. And especially with the wind I wasn't moving towards the ball and letting the ball come to me and not really being aggressive. That's what's won me so many matches in my career is that I step in and I hit my strokes and they come deep. I just wasn't doing that.
So first and foremost I felt like I had to start doing that and making little steps and adjusting my game a little bit."
Adjust she did. This is Maria Motherfuckin' Sharapova (she doesn't actually fuck her mother, it's just a colorful turn of phrase us bloggers like to use). She wasn't going down without a fight and you got the sense that if she would just step up her game, clean it up a little bit, she was right back in this. Petko wasn't overpowering her. Maria was just making mistakes.
Well, she didn't just step it up a little bit. She stepped it up a hell of a whole lot.
"In the second set, on one hand, I felt like Maria really stepped up her game; on the other hand, there were so many close games, deuce, advantage, advantage, so many breakpoints, game points, and I didn't manage to stay close to her. All of a sudden, it was 3-0, 4-0, 5-0. A champion like Maria goes with it and starts to play much better."
Andrea's right. That was the weirdest 6-0 set I've seen in a long time. It was six games that could have easily gone 3-3 or 6-0 the other way. Masha finally started moving her feet and getting to the ball, attacking the lines with precision. She also started to figure out Petko's serve. As the set wore on, Petko started to feel the toll of her back-to-back three setters and the frustration of not being able to pull out any of those deuce games:
"By the end of the second set I was getting frustrated with myself because I felt my energy slowly slipping away. Of course I'm in a semifinal and I want to win this, so it's a little dialog inside of you. You're like, Come on, you can win this, but your body is like, No, I don't want to.
So, yeah, I was fighting with myself inside. In the third set, as I said, my energy was slipping away. A champion like Maria, she just feels kind of weakness, and she just played much, much better. It was very tough for me to get inside the match.
I was telling myself she also had a three-and-a-half hour match. She must be feeling tired, too. You're not the only one who's tired here, so come on, move your ass."
And Masha knew it.
"More than anything, I sensed that she was tired -- probably a lot of the dancing that she's been doing -- and I took advantage of it."
Anyway, Petko was honest and gracious in her presser. No shock there. She was eager to point out that, basically, Masha's got that "thing" that separates her from the rest:
The thing is the top 10 players or champions, they just feel any kind of weakness that, even if you're not showing it or you think you're not showing it, they just feel it. That's what makes them so much better. So I really think she felt it and she went for and she exploited it.... I think that's the difference actually in the end between the Grand Slam champions and the other top 10 players maybe.
And she admitted that this was going hurt for a bit, though she didn't have to say anything. Her red puffy eyes already gave her away:
"Right now I'm still a little disappointed, and I think I still -- I will feel empty the next two or three days trying to work things out. But I think after a week maybe or so I will be able to look at it, at the positive things, and I think I will gain a lot of confidence from especially the two victories over Caroline and Jelena. I think it was the next step for me, beating two top 10 in a row. I showed some good tennis, you know, on peaks and points. But if I really want to reach the goals I have set for myself, I need to keep up my consistency."
I raise my mass of Spaten Optimator and salute you, Petko. She really did make my stint in Miami a lot of fun. It was fun to sit in the back of the room and watch her charm the press corps. But it was even more fun to see her gain a legion of fans on court with her tennis. Death Cab for Cutie gettin' name-checked on The OC, you guys. It's happening and I couldn't be more happy for her. People need to know the Petko.
So have a cheeseburger and beer on me, dude!
Just tell them to put it on Forty's tab.
Oh, and Masha? You better fucking win this whole goddamned thing.

Why was Paul taking a Road Trip?
We know of Paul's miraculous conversion on the way to Damascus. But does the reason claimed for why he was headed there make sense?
Is Acts a good historical reference in this regard?
The first thing to note is that Paul himself never refers to receiving any letter or authority from the high priest, in his description of his own testimony. (Gal. 1:17; 2 Cor. 11:32) While this does not exclude the possibility of it occurring, I prefer it come from the horse's mouth, as it were. In fact, if one studies what Paul said in his letters compared to what the Gospel writers wrote, or what Acts records, it is amazing the different contrast. According to Acts, after Damascus Paul went to Jerusalem within a short period of time. (Acts 9:27) According to Paul, Barnabas did not introduce him until 17 years later!
We don't have Paul telling us anything about this mission from the High Pries (although with his bragging of how much he was attuned to Judaism, one would think an intimate connection with the High priest would warrant at least a mention.)
Paul claims to be like a Pharisee. (Phil. 3:5) [And another side note. Odd that Paul does not specifically claim to be a Pharisee, but rather, "in regard to the law; a Pharisee." Yet the author, in Acts. 23:6, states Paul claims to be an actual Pharisee. Further, the author records in Acts 23:6 Paul claims to be "a son of a Pharisee" yet in Phil. 3:5 Paul simply claims to be a son of a Hebrew.]
Pharisees believed that oral tradition could be considered in addition to the Torah. The Sadducees did not. Even the Bible records conflict between the Sadducees and the Pharisees. (Mt. 22:34; Acts 23:7). The High priest at the time of Paul was a Sadducee. (Acts 5:17)
What was Paul, a Pharisee, doing in cohorts with the high priest, a Sadducee? Christians, in reading of the early Church persecutions recorded in Acts, presume that the two groups would be united in a "common enemy" being Christianity. Yet that is NOT what we see. Acts itself records the Pharisees tending to side with the Christians! (Acts. 5:34; 23:9) The Christians, by being a liberal sect of Christianity, and maintaining a resurrection, would find sympathy among the Pharisees.
Would a Pharisee align themselves with a Sadducee? Not likely. Possible? Yes. Probable? Not hardly.
Strike one.
Now look at the political climate. Damascus was not part of the Roman Empire. Perhaps I did not state that strong enough. King Aretas was the ruler of the Nabataean. We know the story of John the Baptist exposing Herod Antipas for marrying his own niece. What is not discussed, is that in order to do so, Antipas divorced his wife, who was Nabataean. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. This infuriated King Aretas.
This King hated the ruler of Judea, and felt he was totally independent of the Roman Empire. He would have despised any High priest attempting to exert control over any of the king's citizens. A systematic persecution of the Christians in King Aretas' control would not exist. The thought would be "Bad for the Jews? Good for the King."
This is as ludicrous as President Bush giving an order to the head of the FBI to arrest citizens in North Korea. The North Korean government would laugh as such an attempt. The FBI has no authority to act in a foreign country.
The idea of the High Priest interfering in Damascus is all but insane. However, the Roman Empire felt that Damascus was technically always under Roman Rule. The Author of Acts, writing in the late First Century, may have presumed it always was, and that the High Priest would have some authority. The author would be wrong.
Strike Two.
Why in the freaking blue blazes would the high priest commit to paper anything with Paul? It has been pointed out that it was written to the synagogues, not to the local government. So what? Who are the local citizenry going to complain about being arrested? We are talking about a political/police type action. If the letters said, "Kick 'em out of the church" I would heartily agree that King Aretas would not care. These were letters to physically remove people, and even have them killed! This is not some local religious issue over whether communion should be served from the left or the right.
How, exactly, was Paul supposed to do this? Did he bring cages? Shackles? How many could he capture? If it were too many, there would be uproar. Maybe I better say it again—The High Priest had as much authority here as a Wichita Dog Catcher has in Berlin, Germany. I.e.—none.
What could possibly be in that letter? I am open to suggestions, here.
An introduction to Paul? Not hardly. Every record says that the persecuted and the persecutors knew Paul. (Acts 9:21; 9:13; Gal. 1:23; Acts 9:26) Why would Paul need introducing? He wouldn't.
A mandate to persecute Christians? According to the author of Acts, the Jews were ready and willing to kill Paul upon his conversion. Would they need a mandate or order to do so?
Paul: I want you guys to persecute Christians.
Jewish Leaders: Naw. We are too busy. Big bar-b-q planed for this week.
Paul: A-ha! I have a letter from the Chief Priest that says you have to!
Jewish Leaders: Well. O.K. But we aren't happy about it.
This sorta quashes the theory that Christians were persecuted. Why would the Jewish Leaders need a letter to do what Acts implies they were willing to do several days later?
Such a letter from the High Priest would be political suicide. It would directly tie him into attempting to exert control in a county that was hostile to Roman influence. King Aretas would be furious. The Emperor would be angry. The implications of even putting this in writing is frightening.
Why would a letter be necessary? If the Jews in Damascus were willing to persecute Christians, and Paul was the "High Persecutor" would a bit of writing be necessary?
It is all but inconceivable that a High Priest would put in writing something unnecessary, and would result in his death if discovered. There is no need; only problems.
Strike Three.
Who, exactly, was it that wanted Paul killed after his conversion? The answers seem to be all over the board.
An obvious reading of Acts 9:23 is that the "Jews" conspired to kill him. But Paul says in 2 Cor. 11:32 that it was the governor of Damascus that wanted to arrest him. Nothing about any Jews. (And one should note that in 11:24-26 Paul distinguishes the actions of Jews against him and Gentiles. So if it WAS the Jews in Damascus, wouldn't Paul state so?)
A further oddity is that the author of Acts records Ananias (the healer of Paul's blindness) as being a Disciple. (Acts 9:10) Yet the author records Paul saying that Ananias was a devout observer of the Law and respected by all the Jews. (Acts 22:12) Which was he? Could one be a Christian AND respected by the Jews? Then would the Jews have persecuted Christians? Or Paul?
Strike Four.
In order to maintain historicity in Acts one would have to maintain that a Pharisee aligned with a Sadducee (unlikely) to write a letter (dangerous, fatal and unnecessary) to perform an act that was either not occurring at all, or occurring regularly anyway.
In conclusion—Acts is not history. It does not conform to what Paul wrote. It does not conform to what we see in history. If a person is going to accept any explanation, no matter how contrived and contorted, to make it fit, I can do nothing about it. And what I see is a bias toward a proposition, and an insistence on maintaining it regardless of the probabilities.
That's O.K, but I do not see a neutral jury buying it.

Justin Bieber, 'Turn to You' — Song Review
The Biebs goes acoustic! In 'Turn to You,' his tribute song to his mother Pattie Mallette, the proceeds of which will be donated to a mom-centric charity, Justin Bieber is at his most butter smooth and his best.
His vocals are breathy and mature, as are the lyrics, with a simple acoustic guitar behind him. It's a spare beginning, but it's effective, since Bieber's vocals have lyrical points to make at first.
He sings about how his mother worked two jobs to keep a roof over their heads and how she was his age when she had him, letting the biographical verse tell his mother's story. In the the chorus, he lets her know her actions, bravery and sacrifice were worth it, singing, "Let my love take you higher / Cause I still turn to you."
By the time the second verse kicks in, the song builds its instrumentation, with layered synths and a looped beat. It's a thicker sound, because by this point, the listener is aware of and realizes it's an ode to mom. Here, he also references his and Pattie's rock solid faith.
As the song hits its mid-section, it's developed in a lush tune with even more instruments and vocal harmonies, giving it a fuller feel. It's bloomed completely, just like the singer, before fading out.
'Turn to You' is not a 'Believe' single. It's a charity release and B-side.
According to Oh No They Didn't, all proceeds from the track benefit Bethesda Centre, women's shelter in Ontario that provided aid to Justin's mother during her pregnancy. The facility is in danger of closing if it doesn't raise $1.5 million by May 31. Help The Biebs save the center. Or centre, if you want to use Canadian English.

Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis were welcomed back to Crew Stadium on Wednesday night following their run in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Columbus crowd gave them an ovation before kickoff, as many fans saw the Costa Rican duo on the world's stage. Americans made up a full 20% of all the traffic to the FIFA official apps and Web sites. Over the tournament, 36.7 million unique visitors from the United States have visited FIFA.com or the FIFA app. That's about 11.28% of the U.S. population.
The Black & Gold return to action on Saturday, seeking a critical home win against the Montreal Impact. The Crew does have recent history to its advantage this weekend. Montreal is currently 0-5-3 on the road in 2014 and has yet to secure a victory away from Stade Saputo. The Crew is also 3-0-0 in the three previous meetings between the Black & Gold and the Impact at Crew Stadium.
The 75th-minute mark in matches between the Crew and Montreal has led to fascinatng action in regular-season play dating back to 2012. In the most recent meeting on September 14, 2013, Federico Higuain added his second assist of the contest – and team-best eighth of the season – on Dominic Oduro's match-winner in the 78th minute. Both meetings in 2012 featured game-winning goals in the 89th-minute or later as Patrice Bernier's 89th-minute PK secured the 2-1 win for Montreal on July 8 while Emilio Renteria's 93rd-minute goal gave the Crew a 2-1 win on Sept. 1, 2012. Just outside the parameter, Dominic Oduro also snagged a 72nd-minute equalizer to give the Black & Gold a draw in a 1-1 clash on April 14, 2013 in Montreal.
