text: When we mention the word "primitive", our mind travels to past years where life was less complicated. Families back then enjoyed sitting together in the kitchen. This kitchen was the place where they felt relaxed and welcomed. Today some people choose this primitive form to decorate their kitchens. The color of the primitive kitchen has no specific rules. The decoration of primitive kitchens drew out the colors and shapes of accessories that were planned to use from apples, baskets and farm animals. You can gather your inspiration about primitive kitchen decor ideas from the images beneath the next paragraph. The painting color of walls and windows of the primitive kitchen includes sage green, soft blues and yellow. The furnishings in the primitive kitchen take a well-used appearance. Some people use this old fashion these days. The rugs and curtains in the primitive decorating decor are made from natural fibers.Read More »

The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot, people across the country were voting in midterm elections.
That means Tuesday's prize has climbed into rare territory to an estimated $246 million, according to the lottery's website, after players failed to match all six numbers during Friday's drawing. It is the game's eighth largest prize in the past five years.
The jackpot has been rolling over since Nov. 4, when one ticket in New York won a $326 million jackpot, the eighth largest in the game's history.
The winner of that jackpot stepped forward Monday, the lottery announced. Retired elementary school principal Harold Diamond, 80, of Wurtsboro, New York,...

A 33-year-old Chicago State University student was preparing for his last year of studies when he was shot and killed Sunday afternoon during a robbery at his apartment building in the South Chicago neighborhood, authorities said.
The gunman shot Telkia Burns in the right temple about 3 p.m. and fled with his money and house keys, according to Chicago police.
"I'm just a mother without a child," Katherine Burns said. "That's all."
An 18-year-old suspect was in custody over the shooting in the 9100 block of South Commercial Avenue but had not been charged, according to police. When the robber tried to go through Burns' pockets, Burns fought back and was shot in the head, police said.
Burns was a Navy veteran who learned to speak Japanese while stationed in Japan for three years, according to Milton Thornton, who said he served in the military with him. Burns was studying community health at Chicago State through a Veterans Affairs work-study program, Thornton said.
Burns had two sons, ages 7 and 8, who live in Indiana. He just visited his oldest son last weekend after not seeing him for years, Burns' mother said.
Thornton said he met Burns at a Navy Reserve Center after they were discharged in 2004.
"This is going to be hard for (his kids)," Thornton said.
After Burns was laid off from a welding job, Thornton said they talked about taking advantage of the GI Bill and Burns decided to return to school.
Burns was studying community health but should have gone to culinary school, Thornton said.
"He loved to cook. That was probably one of his favorite things to do," Thornton said. "He would cook anything. … He would try exotic foods. He made bison chili one time."
Katherine Burns said she will miss being able to walk down to the corner to see her son.
"He brought me a water lily in a vase last weekend," she said. "He was over at my place so much, I used to say, 'Don't you have your own house?'"
Although devastated by the loss of her son, she said she can forgive the gunman.
"I can't heal if I harbor bad feelings and I just have to be at peace, because we all got to pass, we all got a date," she said, "But it just shouldn't have been that way, and the poor family (of the gunman) is going to suffer too."
His mother said she is working with Veterans Affairs to arrange services.

Prompted by controversy over recently resurfaced comments CEO Mike Jeffries made in 2006, in which he said that his store only marketed to "cool, good-looking people," Abercombie & Fitch issued an apology:
We look forward to continuing this dialogue and taking concrete steps to demonstrate our commitment to anti-bullying in addition to our ongoing support of diversity and inclusion. We want to reiterate that we sincerely regret and apologize for any offense caused by comments we have made in the past which are contrary to these values.
According to the Huffington Post, the clothing brand's apology comes in the wake of a meeting with teen activists who had stormed the company's headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.
Also at the meeting was Benjamin O'Keefe, an eating disorder survivor, who took umbrage at the store's refusal to sell above a size 10, People reported. O'Keefe started a Change.org petition calling for Abercrombie to "make clothes for teens of all sizes."
"I'm happy to hear that Abercrombie took my passion and your voices to heart in this meeting and plans to take concrete steps to show their support for diversity and inclusion," O'Keefe said.
The company already issued this statement from Jeffries via Facebook last week:
I want to address some of my comments that have been circulating from a 2006 interview. While I believe this 7 year old, resurrected quote has been taken out of context, I sincerely regret that my choice of words was interpreted in a manner that has caused offense. A&F is an aspirational brand that, like most specialty apparel brands, targets its marketing at a particular segment of customers. However, we care about the broader communities in which we operate and are strongly committed to diversity and inclusion. We hire good people who share these values. We are completely opposed to any discrimination, bullying, derogatory characterizations or other anti-social behavior based on race, gender, body type or other individual characteristics.

Boom, boom in dressing room
While the Lankan camp rejoiced, the Pakistan dressing room was downcast. Shahid Afridi reportedly damaged his bat and headgear. Sanjjeev K Samyal reports.india Updated: Oct 06, 2012 00:42 IST
While the Lankan camp rejoiced, the Pakistan dressing room was downcast. Shahid Afridi reportedly damaged his bat and headgear.
It's been a forgettable tournament with the bat for the star Pakistan player and he had every reason to be frustrated. He registered a first-ball duck in the semifinal, and in seven games, his highest was 14.
While Afridi sulked in the dressing room, his skipper Mohd Hafeez make futile attempts to defend the allrounder in the press conference. "He is in bad form at the moment but he is a match winner." The skipper was stumped when a Pakistani journalist asked him, "Can you define what your definition of match-winner is?"
Pak fans lose too
Whenever Pakistan have played at the Premadasa Stadium, they have enjoyed great support leading up to the semifinals. They even had the joy of seeing their fans overshadow the normally vociferous Indian supporters in the derby match. But on Thursday they, walked into an entirely transformed atmosphere against the home team.
The voices of support for the green brigade were drowned in the din created by the locals. Traffic moved at a snail's pace as young Lankans took to the streets, shouting in support of their team.

What would researchers find if they studied the contents of your trash dumpster?
You can tell a lot about a people by what you find in their trash cans and dumpsters. In fact, "the study of modern refuse and trash" is known as garbology. According the Wikipedia, the term was coined by AJ Weberman to describe the journalistic technique by which the contents of Bob Dylan's trash were analyzed.
What's in our garbage today? Many may recall the story on 60 Minutes several years ago about the 30 year old Twinkie, still intact within its original plastic wrapper. Who knows what someone might find by taking a core sample at the Pratt County Landfill?
Our society today is built upon the idea of planned obsolescence. Nothing is built to last. Refrigerators today have an average life span 13-14 years. Compare that to my grandmother's 45 year old Frigidaire, which she replaced just this year due to not having sufficient energy to defrost her freezer anymore. It was still running, otherwise.
Subsequently, our landfills are filling up with major home appliances and other electronic products. I wonder what the view looks like from an airplane flying low over a landfill with a few hundred big screen televisions reflecting in the afternoon summer sun.
Garbology might be compared to archaeology in that garbologists "excavate" dumpsters and landfills. One possible garbological study (it sure is fun making up new words) would be to analyze the trash that blows down our streets before it comes to rest within in our flower beds, trees, weeds, and other shrubbery. On my street these days, we find calculator register tapes and packing lists for all sorts of tobacco products, blown in from the Cigarette Outlet on the highway. Lottery tickets were a more typical artifact when the convenience store stood in the same location.
I have discovered one advantage to being a "hobby garbologist," if you will. It has the potential to improve your finances a bit. I have found nickels, dimes, quarters, and even the occasional dollar bill while out walking the dog in the morning. The dog has picked up a few tasty artifacts as well. That's my kind of garbology.

(New York, 13 September 2013) Valerie Amos, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, today allocated US$50 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund to boost the efforts of humanitarian agencies assisting the growing number of Syrians affected by the crisis, in the country and in the region.
"Conditions for Syrians fleeing the conflict in their country get worse by the day. I am releasing $50 million to help United Nations agencies in the region keep pace with the growing demand," said USG Amos. "The CERF contribution represents a show of solidarity with the people of Syria as the funds come from donors, large and small, across the world."
Today's CERF allocation is the largest ever single contribution to support coordinated response to a single crisis. US$20 million will support aid operations inside Syria, $15 million will go to scale up efforts in Lebanon, another $10 million is intended to help the recent influx of Syrian refugees in Iraq, and the remaining $5 million will boost humanitarian programmes in Jordan.
The numbers of Syrians affected by the conflict have grown rapidly, with more than 4.2 million people displaced within their country and another 2 million who have fled to other countries in the region. The Humanitarian Response Plans for the Syria Crisis remain short of funding having so far received only half of the $4.4 billion required.
CERF has already allocated $31 million for UN efforts in Syria and neighbouring countries this year, in addition to $53 million since the conflict began in 2011. The allocation makes the humanitarian agencies in Syria the top recipient of CERF funding in 2013.
Before today, the largest single CERF allocation was made in 2010, in response to a request for just over $30 million from the United Nations in Somalia, to combat the effects of drought and food shortages.
CERF was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2006 to make funding for humanitarian emergencies faster and more equitable. Since then, more than 120 Member States and dozens of private sector donors have pledged nearly US$3.3 billion to the Fund. Since its inception, CERF has allocated more than US$3 billion for humanitarian agencies operating in 87 countries and territories.

ARUSHA, Tanzania, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- The last defendant to be tried by an international criminal court for the Rwandan genocide was sentenced Thursday to 35 years in prison.
Augustin Ngirabatware, the planning minister when 800,000 people, mostly ethnic Tutus, were massacred in 1994, was convicted of genocide and incitement to genocide, CNN reported.
He was also found guilty of raping a woman repeatedly, being involved in a roadblock as Tutsis were tracked down, and distributing weapons.
Ngirabatware has been in the custody of the U.N. International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda since 2009. He was arrested in Germany in 2007.
Justice Hassan Bubacar Jallow, the tribunal's chief prosecutor, said Thursday 83 of the 93 people indicted in connection with the genocide have been arrested and 75 have been tried during the past 18 years.
The tribunal has obtained 65 convictions, while 10 defendants were acquitted. Three people are known to have died, 10 cases have been transferred to national courts and a few of those indicted are fugitives.
"The delivery of judgment today in this case marks a historic occasion and important milestone in the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda," Jallow said.

I had a lipid profile on __________. A lipid profile is a lab test that measures the amount of certain fats and cholesterol in your blood. High lipid levels can lead to a heart attack or worsen heart disease. You should have a lipid profile at least once a year.
Maintain healthy levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and HDL ("good") cholesterol. Healthy levels of LDL and HDL may vary depending on your health conditions or risk factors. Your triglycerides (also "bad") should be less than 150 mg/dL. Talk with your healthcare provider about helping you set and meet your goals.
My blood pressure is __________. High blood pressure (called hypertension) can lead to serious health problems. Blood pressure-lowering medicines along with lifestyle changes can achieve the best results. High blood pressure is defined as 130/80 mmHg or higher. Make sure that your blood pressure is checked at every time you visit your healthcare provider.
I talked with my provider about quitting smoking on __________. If you smoke, get help to quit. Cigarette smoking is a strong risk factor for heart disease. As soon as you quit, your blood vessels begin to return to normal. Talk with your healthcare provider about programs or medicines that can help you quit.
I had my blood sugar checked on __________. Have your blood sugar checked at regular intervals as recommended by your healthcare provider. Early detection and treatment of high blood sugar will help prevent diabetes or delay the progression of serious complications in adults with diabetes.
I talked with my provider about how to manage my weight on __________. Losing just 5% to 10% of your weight or 2 inches from your waist can make you healthier. It's better to lose a small amount of weight and keep it off than to lose a lot of weight fast and gain it back. Take the time to read nutrition labels on the foods you eat to avoid calories from added sugar.
I talked with my provider about medicines to help lower my risk for heart disease on __________. Several medicines can help treat or prevent heart disease in many people.

Per Mertesacker thinks Germany will lose the World Cup final if they do not perform to the exact same standard as they did against Brazil.
Germany pulled off one of the biggest shocks in the history of football when they hammered Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals last week.
The comprehensive nature of the win means Germany will go into Sunday's final against Argentina as big favourites, but Mertesacker has warned against the idea that Germany should already be regarded as world champions before the first whistle.
"We must stay focused and play the same way that we did against Brazil, otherwise we have no chance," the Germany defender said.
"Our performance against Brazil was nearly 100 per cent.
"If you look at the stats, the passing, the goals we scored, everything was so fluent.
"But if we drop five per cent then we will have no chance."
The streets of Germany were packed with jubilant fans who had stayed up to watch Joachim Low's team rip the hosts apart with a ruthless attacking display on Tuesday.
Mertesacker wants the memories of that night in Belo Horizonte to be put to the back of his team-mates' minds by Sunday though.
"(Winning 7-1) is dangerous for us," the Arsenal centre-back said.
"We can't lose our focus now because we scored seven goals.
"We must keep calm and be aware of the situation. Our main target is to win the final.
"We want to finish on a high.
"We want more history. We don't want to just settle for this result before the final."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

September 15, 2010 -
- Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Spencer Bachus made the following statement during a Capital Markets Subcommittee hearing on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "During the two years that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been controlled by the Federal government, House Republicans have introduced a number of measures to immediately address the failures of the GSEs. We have released a detailed set of principles to protect taxpayers from further losses and future bailouts, and we have suggested ways to build a more sustainable housing finance system based on private capital. We offered amendment after amendment during the regulatory reform conference to end the GSE bailouts and to wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Democrats rejected every one. "The Democrats have offered nothing. They have done nothing. And they seem content to do nothing. 'Progress' hearings and planning conferences are not enough. Putting aside the human costs of 10 percent unemployment and 30 percent home price depreciation, the bailouts of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have cost taxpayers more than $150 billion. And it looks like hundreds of billions of dollars in additional losses are coming. "Mr. Chairman, instead of continuing the strategy of 'slow-walking' and postponing hard decisions, it is time for our leaders to take real action to end these bailouts. The Democrats on this committee have had two years to act, and now Chairman Frank is claiming that talks of ending this congressional session a week earlier than scheduled will prevent any opportunity for legislative action to address Fannie and Freddie. This is yet another ridiculous excuse for delaying reform, which is why I again call on the Chairman to hold a legislative hearing on Representative Hensarling's GSE bill and act quickly to protect the taxpayers. "Without leadership, this problem cannot be solved. Republicans are ready to lead."

Aaron Rodgers threw for 308 yards and two scores, while the Green Bay Packers withstood another 400-yard passing day from Carolina rookie Cam Newton to beat the Panthers 30-23 on Sunday.
A week after throwing for 422 yards, Newton topped himself by throwing for 432 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a 4-yard touchdown with 37 seconds left to bring Carolina (0-2) within seven, but the Packers (2-0) recovered the onside kick to seal the victory.
Rodgers found Greg Jennings for a 49-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to put the Packers ahead for good. Then, after Clay Matthews stopped Newton on a fourth-down run inside the 5, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for an 84-yard touchdown to make it a two-possession game and help the Packers hang on.
While Newton had another big yardage day, the Packers' defense came up big by forcing the rookie into three interceptions - two by Charles Woodson.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Peyton Hillis ran for 94 yards and two touchdowns, Colt McCoy threw for 211 yards and a score and Cleveland ended a five-game losing streak against Peyton Manning-less Indianapolis.
The Colts are 0-2 for the first time since 1998, and Manning likely will miss two months following his third neck surgery in 20 months. The Browns rebounded with their first win for new coach Pat Shurmur after a loss to the Bengals last week.
With Kerry Collins starting again, the Colts never seriously challenged Browns after falling behind 14-9 late in the first half. Collins finished 19 of 38 for 191 yards with one interception, one TD and a lost fumble.
ATLANTA (AP) - Matt Ryan threw a career-high four touchdown passes and the Falcons rallied to beat the Eagles after Michael Vick was knocked out with an injury late in the third quarter.
Ryan hit Tony Gonzalez with a pair of TDs, the tight end going past Terrell Owens for fifth on the NFL's career receiving list. Then, Ryan hooked up with Ovie Mughelli on a 1-yarder that brought Atlanta to 31-28 with just over 6 minutes remaining.
The Falcons (1-1) completed the comeback with Michael Turner breaking off a 61-yard run, then powering over from the 3 with 3:24 remaining.
Vick left with a neck injury after getting spun by a Falcons rusher into a Philadelphia blocker. He staggered off the field and Mike Kafka came in for his first NFL game.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns and New Orleans' defense beat up on Jay Cutler.
Brees' scoring strikes included a 79-yarder to Devery Henderson. Darren Sproles scored on a 12-yard swing pass and Robert Meachem had a 4-yard TD reception as the Saints (1-1) bounced back from an opening week loss to Green Bay.
Facing heavy blitzing and without injured receiver Roy Williams, Cutler passed for 244 yards and a score, but was sacked six times and fumbled once.
Running back Matt Forte had 117 yards receiving to go with 49 yards rushing for Chicago (1-1), which lost guard Gabe Carimi and safety Major Wright to injuries after entering the game without several other injured starters.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to David Nelson with 14 seconds left to cap a wild back-and-forth fourth quarter.
The Bills scored touchdowns on all five of their second-half possessions to overcome a 21-3 first-half deficit. The teams traded leads five times over the final 14:10.
Fred Jackson scored twice and had 117 yards rushing for the Bills (2-0) in their home opener. Fitzpatrick finished 28 of 46 for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
Jason Campbell went 23 of 33 for 323 yards and two scores for the Raiders (1-1) before having a final desperation pass intercepted by Da'Norris Searcy in the end zone. Officials needed 10 minutes to review the play to determine the call on the field was correct.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Tom Brady threw for 423 yards six days after setting a single-game team record of 517 in leading New England.
Brady had three touchdown passes and tied for the third most yards passing in club history, going 31 of 40 with no interceptions as the Patriots (2-0) scored on each of their four first-half possessions.
The Chargers (1-1) turned the ball over inside the Patriots 35 three times, leading to 17 points. They also were stopped on a fourth-and-goal at the 1, and the Patriots started a 99-yard drive that ended with one of Brady's two scoring passes to Rob Gronkowski.
Philip Rivers threw for 378 yards for the Chargers.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Playing with a fractured rib, Tony Romo hit Jesse Holley on a 77-yard completion in overtime to set up Dan Bailey's winning 19-yard field goal for Dallas.
Bailey kicked a tying 48-yard field goal as time expired in regulation after missing an early 21-yard attempt. Romo completed five of six passes on the tying drive, connecting on consecutive throws to Holley before finding him again in OT.
The third of Miles Austin's three TD catches came with 6:55 left and pulled the Cowboys (1-1) within 24-21. The 49ers are 1-1.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - Graham Gano kicked a 34-yard field goal with 1:45 remaining as Washington rallied from an eight-point, fourth-quarter deficit.
The Redskins (2-0) beat the Cardinals (1-1) for the eighth time in a row. Santana Moss' 18-yard catch on fourth down with 5:17 remaining pulled Washington within two, but the 2-point conversion attempt failed.
After a Cardinals punt, the Redskins got the ball back at their own 36 with 4:20 to play and drove to Arizona's 16 to set up Gano's kick.
The Cardinals had one final possession to try to win, but Chansi Stuckey fumbled after making a catch at Arizona's 32.
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Ben Roethlisberger threw for 298 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers put their opening week loss to Baltimore behind them.
Mike Wallace caught eight passes for 126 yards and a score and Rashard Mendenhall ran for 67 yards and a touchdown for the Steelers (1-1), who limited the listless Seahawks (0-2) to 164 total yards.
A week after committing seven turnovers while getting whipped by rival Baltimore, the Steelers worked with relentless efficiency against Seattle. Roethlisberger shook off a gimpy right knee to complete 22 of 30 passes, and the defense kept Seattle from taking an offensive snap on Pittsburgh's side of the field until midway through the fourth quarter.
The Seahawks were shut out for the first time since their last visit to the Steel City in 2007.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Matt Hasselbeck threw for 358 yards and a touchdown, and Tennessee gave new coach Mike Munchak a big win in the home opener.
With the Ravens (1-1) focused on stopping Chris Johnson, Hasselbeck attacked through the air. Kenny Britt caught nine passes for 135 yards and a TD, while Nate Washington caught seven passes for 99 yards. Rob Bironas also kicked four field goals as Tennessee (1-1) held the ball for more than 35 minutes and outgained Baltimore 432-229 in total offense.
DETROIT (AP) - Matthew Stafford threw two of his four TD passes to Calvin Johnson and Detroit came away with its largest margin of victory in a regular season game.
The Lions broke the mark they set with a 44-0 win over expansion Jacksonville in 1995 and matched the record set in the 1957 NFL title game when they beat Cleveland 59-14.
The Lions (2-0) led Kansas City 20-3 at halftime and 41-3 early in the fourth quarter after turning two fumbles into TDs.
The Chiefs (0-2) lost more than the game when All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles was carted off the field midway through the first quarter with what appeared to be a serious left knee injury.
MIAMI (AP) - Andre Johnson caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Matt Schaub that helped Houston get off to s 2-0 start.
Miami's sieve-like pass defense was no match for Johnson and Schaub, who threw for 230 yards and had a quarterback rating of 118.5. Johnson made seven catches for 93 yards.
The Dolphins committed two turnovers, had a 22-yard field-goal attempt blocked and missed a 34-yarder. Daniel Thomas rushed for 107 yards in his NFL debut, but Chad Henne went 12 for 30 and was especially erratic in the red zone.
Miami is 0-2 for the fifth time in the past six years.
Buccaneers 24, Vikings 20
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - LeGarrette Blount's 4-yard touchdown run with 31 seconds left lifted Tampa Bay and completed another comeback by quarterback Josh Freeman - this time from a 17-0 halftime deficit.
Eight of Freeman's 14 career victories have come when the Bucs (1-1) went ahead in the fourth quarter or overtime. Given how overwhelmed they were before halftime, outgained 284 yards to 62 during the first two quarters, this might have been the most impressive.
Freeman found Arrelious Benn for a 25-yard touchdown pass over Cedric Griffin with 6:39 remaining to cut the lead to three points. A 19-yard leaping catch by Dezmond Briscoe and a 15-yard late hit penalty on Jared Allen set up the score.
Adrian Peterson had 25 carries for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the first half for the Vikings (0-2), who blew a healthy lead for the second straight week.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Mark Sanchez threw two touchdown passes as the offense started quickly and Antonio Cromartie had two of New York's four interceptions of Luke McCown.
After having not scored an offensive TD in the first quarter in 16 games, the Jets (2-0) won the toss, elected to receive - a rarity under the defensive-minded Rex Ryan - and scored on a 17-yard catch by Santonio Holmes.
First-round pick Muhammad Wilkerson had his first NFL sack for a safety early in the game, helping set the tone for a long day for McCown and the Jaguars (1-1). Eric Smith and Josh Mauga also intercepted McCown, who was replaced by rookie Blaine Gabbert early in the fourth quarter after posting a dismal 1.8 quarterback rating.
Broncos 24, Bengals 22
DENVER (AP) - Kyle Orton threw two TD passes to Eric Decker, Willis McGahee ran for another score and John Fox gained his first win as Denver's coach.
The Broncos (1-1) lost two more players to injury - giving them nine, including six starters - but still topped the Bengals (1-1) for the ninth straight time in Denver, where Cincy hasn't won since 1975.
Andy Dalton, who bruised his right wrist and forearm in Cincinnati's win at Cleveland a week earlier, threw for 332 yards for the Bengals, hitting fellow rookie A.J. Green 10 times for 124 yards and Jerome Simpson four times for 136 yards.

Minnesota Closing 1st Wolf Season Thursday Evening
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota is closing its inaugural wolf hunting and trapping season in the final remaining zone as of Thursday evening.
The Department of Natural Resources says hunters and trappers have now registered 181 wolves killed in the northwestern zone. That brings the statewide total to just five wolves short of the overall quota of 400.
The agency is still having problems with its automated system for tallying the number of wolves killed, which hunters and trappers are required to check before going out to see if their zone is still open. The system stopped working Tuesday.
DNR spokesman Scott Pengelly says the totals had to be updated manually on the DNR's website Wednesday afternoon. A phone hotline that erroneously says the season has already closed is still not working.

Frances Holland, a 22-year exceptional student education veteran, believes in rewarding students who achieve their literacy goals. Improvement for some students is measured in leaps and bounds. However, other sixth- through eighth-graders� improvements are more subtle, requiring instruction that is more personal.
Editor�s Note: This is the 11th article in a series on north Okaloosa County Teachers of the Year.
CRESTVIEW � Oscar Rojas� teacher lobbed a Tootsie Pop toward him for being the first to answer a reading question.
Frances Holland, a 22-year exceptional student education veteran, believes in rewarding students who achieve their literacy goals.
Improvement for students like Oscar is measured in leaps and bounds, she said. However, other sixth- through eighth-graders� improvements are more subtle, requiring instruction that is more personal.
Holland has taught E.S.E. throughout her career, which began at the former Richbourg Middle School before she moved to Davidson Middle School when it opened.
"It's all I ever wanted to do," Holland said. "The neatest thing is that I get to keep the students for three years. In that length of time you really get to know the students and their families."
Harry says 'Read!'
Under the watchful eyes of Holland, her teaching aide Lori Parker and a life-size display of Harry Potter � "He's saying, 'Read!'" Holland said � Oscar and his classmates read a story about migrant workers� plight.
This class is independent, Holland said. Another class � still learning about the alphabet and how to write their names � requires constant supervision.
"I have students in many different levels," Holland said. "They have many needs. Meeting their needs is the biggest challenge."
Holland, one of four Davidson E.S.E. teachers, advises new E.S.E. teachers to "relax and enjoy the kids."
Showing appreciation for students� efforts can have a lifelong impact, she believes.
"A child will forget what you say, but they'll never forget how you made them feel," Holland said, paraphrasing poet Maya Angelou.
Oscar appreciates Holland's efforts.
"She's a very good teacher," he said. "She's got lots of knowledge and shares it. She teaches everything."
'Like winning the green jacket'
Holland, who retires at the end of the school year, was surprised when she learned her peers had selected her as Davidson's Teacher of the Year.
"Oh my God!" she said. "I've been teaching 22 years and I never got anything like that. For me it was like winning the green jacket at the Masters. It was a big honor."
Holland was the ideal candidate, teachers said.
"She's phenomenal," E.S.E. teacher Carol Cassity said. "She's the best reading teacher I've ever seen. She gets kids excited about reading...
�She's made an impact. Kids come back every year to tell her thank you."
Holland called her approaching retirement "bittersweet," but said she plans to return as a volunteer. Her colleagues and students said they would miss her.
"We're going to kidnap her and keep her here," Parker said jokingly.
One of her students was more to the point.
"I'm not going to let her leave me," Ricky Peterson said.

Leo Santa Cruz, featherweight champion of the World Boxing Council, wrote on his twitter account:
"Estamos entrenando al cien por ciento en el gimnasio para darle a los fans grandes peleas. Estamos listos para pelear contra Guillermo Rigondeaux cuando quiera y donde quiera"
"We are training in the gym one hundred percent to give the fans great fights. We are ready to fight against Guillermo Rigondeaux anytime and anywhere."

Leo Santa Cruz: Bring on Guillermo Rigondeaux
In the wake of last weekend's first-round stoppage of Sod Kokietgym, RING junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux called outWBC and IBF counterparts Leo Santa Cruz and Kiko Martinez.
Santa Cruz (27-0-1, 15 knockouts) did not take long to respond, doing so on his Twitter account on Thursday.
"We train 100 percent in the gym to give the fans great fights. We are ready to fight @RigoElChacal305 any time any place," wrote Santa Cruz. "We aren't afraid to fight anybody. I love all my fans. Thank you for the support."
Santa Cruz had even more to say after being contacted by RingTV.com.
"It's like I said, I'm not scared, and if people think that I'm running from him. I'm not afraid to fight nobody. I'm here to fight whoever," said Santa Cruz. "If the fans want it, I'm here to give the fans what they want, and it doesn't matter if I lose. If I fight strong, then even if I lose, then I win."
Also the holder of the WBA and WBO belts, the 33-year-old Rigondeaux (14-0, 9 knockouts) ended a 36-0-1 unbeaten streak for Kokietgym, and was coming off back-to-back unanimous decisions over Nonito Donaire in April 2013 and Joseph Agbeko in December. Rigondeaux won the RING and WBO titles in the Donaire fight and the WBA title against Ricardo Cordoba in late 2010, his seventh pro bout.
But Santa Cruz believes that he has the style to take down Rigondeaux.
"I think that I can bring a lot of pressure to him in a fight, and that I will stay on top of him. All he's ever waiting for is the opportunity to counterpunch. But I would stay right on top of him and go 100 percent to stay on top of him so that he wouldn't know what to do," said Santa Cruz.
"He's a really smart fighter and he's really slick, so I would be happy winning a decision. It would be hard to catch him because he knows how to avoid punches. But I would stay on top of him and, hopefully, catch him with a good punch. Then, if the knockout comes, then it comes. But if we go the distance and win a decision, then I would be happy with that."
A swiftly rising body-puncher who turns 25 next month, Santa Cruz defended the 118-pound strap three times — twice by stoppage — before winning his 122-pound debut by fifth-round knockout over Alexander Munoz in May 2013, Munoz's first loss by stoppage after 40 pro bouts.
Santa Cruz then took another step up in stature by scoring two knockdowns on the way to dethroning Victor Terrazas by third-round stoppage last August. Santa Cruz ended Terrazas' streak of 11 straight wins, seven of which were by knockout, at the same site as his victory over Vusi Malinga for the IBF's bantamweight belt in June 2012.
Santa Cruz is now coming off consecutive unanimous decision victories over Cesar Seda in December and Cristian Mijares in March, and says he is being considered for a berth on the undercard of the Sept. 13 rematch between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marcos Maidana.
"I heard that from Golden Boy that they're thinking about it, and I think that's about 90 percent for sure," said Santa Cruz. "They're still looking for opponents, but then, hopefully, I win that and then take two more fights and then fight Rigondeaux. I'll fight him whenever the fans want, but that's not up to me, that's up to my promoter. If they can make it, then they'll make it."
Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz is a fight that Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya would love to make a reality.
"Nothing would make me happier than to see Leo take on Guillermo," said De La Hoya. who promotes Santa Cruz. "Santa Cruz will run him out of the ring."

SecondsOut breaks down the matchup and figures out who will win
By: Mike Sloan: Tonight marks the return to action of Wladimir Klitschko, one-half of the best heavyweight tandem on the planet and one of the best big men of the past decade. Every time the hulking Ukrainian fights, it's a massive deal, particularly across Europe and this time around shouldn't be any different. But unlike brother Vitali who dispatched the massively overmatched Dereck Chisora, Wladimir actually could wind up the loser.
Standing across from Dr. Steelhammer is France's Jean-Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KOs), a man who used to be one of the finest cruiserweights of the past ten or so years. Though his resume is solid with some quality victories, the reality is that Mormeck needs to fight the perfect fight to offset Klitschko's style and score what would be classified as a major upset.
The ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany will be filled to its gills and Klitschko is the prohibitive favorite going into the contest. At first blush it appears as though Klitschko (56-3, 49 KOs) should steamroll Mormeck, though the former cruiser titlist's name recognition might make some experts and slightly-more-than-casual fans think twice. Luckily SecondsOut.com is here to break down the duel in an effort to figure out who will have his hand raised. Read on:
Punching power: Mormeck can crack, there's no two ways around it. However, he doesn't possess the sort of debilitating power in his fists like Klitschko. Also, with Mormeck being the shorter fighter, he'll have to find a way inside to land his bombs. Klitschko's telephone pole of a jab should keep him away and off-balance, thus thwarting much of Mormeck's assaults. This Klitschko has been kayoed in the past, unlike Vitali, and it's thought that he has a weak chin. That's not entirely true, but Mormeck does punch hard enough to send the Ukrainian onto Queer Street. Still, when it comes to a comparison of power, Klitschko wins. Advantage: Klitschko
Speed: Klitschko utilizes deft footwork and clever angles to land his punches. He's a mammoth in the ring and he always looks slow and plodding, though his punches are precise and short. And more importantly, his shots come in straight as an arrow. Mormeck is the smaller man and throws quality combinations. His punches are slightly more telegraphed than Klitschko, but he's quick for his size. Still, he's up there in age, heavier than usual and is slowing down. Advantage: Klitschko
Size: Klitschko is as tall as the average NBA basketball player, but heavier. His arms are like tree branches he uses his size better than almost anybody else. Mormeck isn't quite six feet tall and his reach is almost a full foot shorter. This one's not even close. Advantage: Klitschko
Age factor: Klitschko is 35, Mormeck is almost 40. Mormeck has won three straight bouts but none of those wins (at heavyweight) are what anybody considers superb notches on his belt. Klitschko is better, bigger and younger by almost five full years. Advantage: Klitschko
Chin: This one could go either way because Klitschko has been knocked into next week a few times in his career. However, those losses came at heavyweight and one came when he was totally gassed out. Mormeck had his block knocked off twice and those KOs came at cruiserweight. If either man gets hit clean and hard, the fight's probably over. Still, Klitschko's massive size will benefit him on top of the fact that Mormeck hasn't fought someone with this sort of power. Advantage: Klitschko
Experience: Like brother Vitali against Chisora (except nowhere near as egregious), this one's a no contest. Klitschko has fought every single top contender and challenger of his era and beaten them all, for the most part. Mormeck has taken on some very strong opponents, but only a handful is considered at or near the elite level. Klitschko fights in these major events on a regular basis, Mormeck doesn't. Huge advantage: Klitschko
Intangibles: Mormeck has much more to prove and nowhere near as much to lose than Klitschko. In reality, almost no pressure should be on Mormeck because he's supposed to lose. As for Klitschko, he can't afford to slip up because that mega fight in the heavyweight division against--… Wait, forget that last part. Does Klitschko really have anything major to look forward to after this fight? He'll just keep his lunch pail by his side and his shovel sharpened for another day at the office. Advantage: Klitschko
The bottom line: If Klitschko loses, it'll be a major upset. Mormeck's best chance of winning is to catch the lurching future Hall of Famer napping and take him out. That's likely not to come close to happening. Mormeck will probably try and bully his opponent around and gun for an early knockout. But once Klitschko weathers the storms and figures out his foe, he'll systematically break him down and cautiously dominate him. Mormeck might get dropped late but he won't get taken out. It won't be as sleep-inducing as Klitschko's last fight (against David Haye) but it won't be the second coming of Graziano-Zale, either. Klitschko will win a comfortable unanimous decision. Bank on it.

Get Turbonegro's deathpunk sound with Orange amps
Orange amplifiers have always been renowned for their versatility, from Arctic Monkeys' warm British garage tone to the sheer hard-rock power of Slipknot's signature amps. They're so versatile, in fact, that they're used by a band who've created their own genre: deathpunk.
Combining glam, punk and classic rock, Turbonegro have a list of influences that shows Orange heads, cabs and combos are suited to any guitarist, whatever they're into. Their sound takes cues from Black Flag, Rolling Stones, Kiss, Iggy Pop, David Bowie and The Ramones. Lead guitarist Euroboy's explanation of the band's name says it all: "It's actually two Latin words, it means fast and black and we thought that was a cool name for a band. Because our music is very fast and very dark".
If you want to recreate Turbonegro's sound, some of the amps that offer the most versatility and best tone for emulating the above influences include:
Orange Thunder 30 Watt Twin Channel 1X12" Guitar Combo - £730
Orange Tiny Terror Guitar Amp Head - £343 with free guitar lead
Orange Thunderverb 50 Guitar Head - £1375
new album Sexual Harrassment, which Rock Sound has already rated eight out of ten. Listen to it for yourself on Spotify.

I have certainly been reading blogs a whole lot more than writing them the last several weeks, and it's about time I got back to writing. I have been collecting several topics and references for blog posts…some of which will probably just never get written as the timeliness of the topics fade over time. Nonetheless, I'm back, and I think it is time to revive my Doing Business Right series, this time coming from the slant of managing a development team rather than the previous angle of being self-employed. First up: separating Dev, Test, and Prod.
A few months ago, Colin Stasiuk (@BenchmarkIT) wrote a great post about separating your Dev, Test/UAT, and Prod environments. This post covers all the important points such as removing Developer access from both PROD and UAT, and the importance of proper deployment (a.k.a. promotion) procedures. I won't repeat it all here, go read the original! But what I do want to address is what I believe to be the #1 excuse people use for not having separate environments: Money. I discussed this briefly in my comment on Colin's post at the time, but let me repeat it here and expand on it a bit.
Don't let the size of your company or the size of its budget dictate whether you do things professionally or not. I am convinced that most developers and development teams would agree that it is a best practice to have separate environments for development, testing, and production (a.k.a. Live). So why don't they? Because they think that it means separate servers which means more money. While having separate physical servers for the different environments would be ideal, it is not an absolute requirement in order to make this work. Here are a few ideas:
So the point is, keep your high professional standards intact. You don't need to compromise on using proper procedure just because you work in a small company with a small budget. Keep doing things the right way!
By the way, where I work, our DEV environment is not on a server. All development is done on the developer's individual workstation where it can be isolated from other developers' work for the duration of writing the code, but also where the developers have to reconcile (merge) differences in code under concurrent development. This usually means that each change is executed multiple times (once per developer to update their environments with the latest changes from others) giving us an extra, informal. test deployment before even going to the Test/UAT server. It also means that if the network goes down, the developers can continue to hum along because they are not dependent on networked resources. In fact, they will likely be even more productive because they aren't being interrupted by email…but that's another post I need to write.

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has emphatically denied Sol Campbell's claim that he would have been captain of the national team 'for more than 10 years' had he been white.
Campbell, who played 73 times for his country, claims in a new authorised biography serialised in the Sunday Times that the Football Association and the majority of fans do not want a black England skipper.
The 39-year-old said: "I believe if I was white, I would have been England captain for more than 10 years - it's as simple as that.
"I think the FA wished I was white. I had the credibility, performance-wise to be captain."
On the appointment of Michael Owen, who wore the armband on eight occasions, ahead of him, Campbell added: "I think the FA didn't want me to have a voice. Owen was a fantastic forward but nowhere near being a captain. It was embarrassing.
"I've asked myself many times why I wasn't. I keep coming up with the same answer. It was the colour of my skin."
The 39-year-old led his country three times in friendly matches, and Eriksson - who selected Campbell 32 times during his five-year reign - insisted in the Daily Telegraph that he had come under no pressure from the FA not to give the defender the armband on a more permanent basis.
"Not a chance - during my years, not a chance," the Swede said. "As you know, from my first to my last game, I had David Beckham (as captain) and there were never, ever any discussions at all in the team or in the FA about the captain."
Former England striker Ian Wright also disputed his ex-international team-mate's accusations, pointing out there were more suitable candidates around for the captaincy at the time.
"I think he's got the credentials to be captain, but to be captain for 10 years? I'm not sure when you see some of the players that were around then," said Wright, who played with Campbell for the Three Lions in the late 1990s.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's 606 show, Wright added: "I want a captain that goes in and gets you going. Sol has never had the demeanour where he is aggressive on the pitch and put people in their place.
"People say David Beckham wasn't like that, but he only had to raise his eyebrows to put someone in their place. Maybe Sol could have grown into it but it's down to the manager who he wants.
"Sol was more than good enough to be a captain but I personally believe there were better candidates at the time."
It is understood the FA is not planning to respond directly to the allegations.
Former FA executive director David Davies, who was at the organisation when Campbell was a player, said he was "surprised" by the allegations and believed they were "wrong".
"I am surprised by this because the reality is that in my time the managers selected the captain," Davies told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.
"I never - and to my knowledge nobody else in the FA - ever sought to influence them.
"My belief is (the allegations) are wrong."
