I found this article on line and thought it would share it. I love articles with animals and children!
When students at Westbrook High School near Portland, Maine show up for school each morning, among them is an unusual classmate: Simba, an orange neighborhood tabby who's been visiting the high school every day for nearly 13 years.
According to Portland news station WMTW-TV, teacher Tina Soucy found Simba sitting outside the school doors one morning years ago and she let him inside. Since then, he's been showing up promptly at 7 a.m. every morning for class.
School staff and the 800 students dote on the 15-year-old cat, who greets students at the doors in the morning and then makes his classroom rounds throughout the day. "He'll show up in class and just sit on people's textbooks," says student Kim Larley.
Administrators do keep an eye on Simba to make sure he's safe and doesn't bother students with allergies. But most of the students welcome Simba's attention.
"Simba seems to lighten everybody's day," says school art director Carol Conner.
Last night, the school honored Simba and his owner with a benefit art show. The subject matter? Simba of course.
Simba's owner, Eileen Shutts, lives nearby and doesn't mind Simba's daily visits.
Marc Grousse, the district's superintendent, believes Simba's presence is good for the students…and for Simba. "I think he probably knows he's liked and loved…and it's mutual."

Just what happens at the Reference Desk? We get every kind of question you can imagine on just about every topic. Sometimes a question can be quick and easy to answer or it can be more challenging. Recently we had a patron looking for a book she thought she read last year. You know, the patron said, the book with a dog on the cover. How hard can that be? Let's find out.
The Reference Desk staff uses its detective skills by conducting a reference interview to help narrow down the search for the book with the dog on the cover. First we ask the patron if she has Reading History turned on in her library account. If she does, bingo, we can search through the titles checked out and locate the book. (If you haven't turned on your Reading History it's very easy – just Login to Your Account and click on Opt In and you can keep track of everything you have borrowed from the library.)
Alas, no Reading History, so we carry on with the interview. Do you remember the topic of the book? Yes, it was poetry about dogs. Great, that helps a lot. We go to the online catalog and search under the keywords and we find the subject heading: dogs—poetry. The library has four titles in the Nonfiction collection of dog poetry, (there are more in the Children's Room). All of the titles have cover images in our catalog and, voila, there it is: "Book of Dog: Poems" by Cleopatra Mathis. It didn't actually have a dog on its cover, it was not a book from 2013, but she recognized the cover and the title. And, best of all, it is on the shelf!
On our way back to the stacks to find "Book of Dog" the patron tells me that she wants to check it out again to share it with a friend whose dog had just died. She recalls a poem that Mathis wrote that might just help her friend find solace at this difficult time.
Everything fell into place with that reference interview; the patron's memory was fairly accurate, she was able to narrow the subject down immediately and we found the title on the shelf. All questions aren't this easy. Stay tuned for more tales from the Reference Desk.

I started sewing when I was about 12, making doll clothes and around the age of 15 I made myself some simple dresses and bags with the help of my mother. After that I stopped sewing for some time. After my first child was born, I felt a strong need to make and create things.
I wanted to do a thousand kinds of projects at once. I started sewing again, enjoying mainly sewing clothes for myself. I love that sewing is very practical, I can make something I need and use. I made my first trousers recently, which makes me proud and I hope they will be very practical!
What do you do other than sewing?
I´m from Czech Republic and come from a village about one hour away from the capital, Prague. Now I live in another small village, also not far from Prague, just in a different direction. Most of my time is occupied by my two daughters, 3 years and 6 months. I enjoy painting a lot, it´s something I put my heart in and something I´d like to get better at. I used to make illustrations for two small magazines (only one now), and I make dolls out of clay. I have a blog about art, inspiration, and the simple joys of life.
Where do you go to get inspired?
I go to the internet for inspiration and ideas for clothes: Burda Style, Pinterest. Frida Kahlo inspires me a lot, also painting-wise. From the many lovely blogs there is Anna of Graceful Lady, whom I find very stylish. History inspires me, I enjoy clothing exhibitions – my favorite fashion era is the 1920s. I also love dolls of all kinds and children´s clothing inspires me a lot even for myself.
What's your sewing secret weapon?
I can´t think of any secret weapon or trick… I hate zippers and often try to omit them, mostly in dresses. I don´t take sewing very seriously; I don´t plan to learn many advanced techniques and don´t enjoy working on something for a long time. There are always many other things I like to do, so I usually only work on something that´s simple and (hopefully) fast to make. Yeah, I´m a lazy seamstress and not a very patient person.
Tell us about your sewing experience.
I wish I had a room only for sewing, painting, and making in general, but I do all of this in our living room at my table. Lately, my work area is becoming quite messy, with fabric, paintings and the rest around. I would love to buy an overlocker, but I have no idea where I would put it. Anyway, we´ve always lived in small places, so I´m lucky to have my table and my white cabinet beside it where I store most of my belongings.
I almost never listen to music, as I like silence. That´s maybe a bit of a problem with sewing, as the machine is quite noisy. Therefore I try to sew during the day, if possible, because in the evening I like to enjoy the quiet (tracing patterns etc. is ok in the evening).
My dream sewing project would be a winter coat. I have an image of it in my head: pink, with a hood, slightly babydoll-ish, maybe a bit of a dufflecoat style, maybe something more fitted at the top and looser in the skirt. I also know exactly where I would buy the material! But it is very expensive and my time is very limited, so I keep dreaming the dream… for now.
How long have you been a member of BurdaStyle?
I have been a BurdaStyle member for about three years now, since September 2009. My username is my childhood nickname I was called by my parents. I love that BurdaStyle is a constant stream of inspiration, great clothes and interesting people. When I think about what to sew next, I often like to look at my favorites. I visit daily, always looking forward to seeing new projects.
Michelle and Dress with Gathered Rectangle Skirt and Cap Sleeves are my favorite patterns. They are easy and flattering styles and I plan to make them again.
What is the most frustrating and rewarding thing about sewing for you?
The most frustrating thing about sewing for me would be that I am almost never able to make anything exactly the way I wanted. I admire the professional looking and beautifully sewn clothes on BurdaStyle; mine usually tend to have what I would call a carefree finish. On the other hand, it´s very rewarding to be able to make something I love. It´s a great thing to think of a garment, a shape, a color you´d like to achieve… and then make it and wear it.

The two-old-year champion colt and Eclipse Award-winning Shanghai Bobby went down to defeat Saturday in the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. 3) at Gulfstream Park, finishing second to Itsmyluckyday.
The king is dead! Long live the king!
Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. I'm sure that Starlight Racing et al and trainer Todd Pletcher would say that it is absolutely an exaggeration. Their two-old-year champion colt and Eclipse Award-winning Shanghai Bobby went down to defeat Saturday in the Holy Bull Stakes (gr. 3) at Gulfstream Park, finishing second to Itsmyluckyday.
In the process Shanghai Bobby lost his undefeated record and, at least, tarnished his crown. With a little over four months remaining before the Kentucky Derby (gr. 1), the champion's connections would say that is a long way to the Run for the Roses.
That's right! The road is long with many a winding turn. The Holy Bull is just the first step for three-year-olds in Florida to the Kentucky Derby via the Florida Derby.
While the Holy Bull might have been a bit of a stumble for the champion, for the owners of the winner, Itsmyluckyday, he lived up to his name! Although the winner is not a Florida-bred, his connections are all Florida.
Itsmyluckyday is owned by Laurie Plesa, the wife of trainer Eddie Plesa, and the Trilogy Stable of Marion Montanari and David and Olga Melin of Miami. Montanari is the owner of Marion Hills Farm, north of Ocala. Montanari has been breeding and racing thoroughbreds for more than 30 years.
Itsmyluckyday, one of the most experienced runners in the race, had shown enough in eight starts to go off as the third choice at 9-to-2.
Bern Identity was second favorite at 9-to-2 behind Shanghai Bobby at even money.
The top-three finishers led the rest of the field around the track with the champion on the lead, pressed by 42-to-1 shot Clearly Now. After six furlongs, Itsmyluckyday moved from third to second to challenge Shanghai Bobby.
By the time the leaders reached the stretch, Itsmyluckyday had wrestled the lead from the champion. Battling down the stretch, Itsmyluckyday stretches his lead to two lengths. It was 11 1/2 lengths back to Clearly Now in third. The margin between the top two and the rest of the field appeared to clearly establish their superiority.
The fractions were fast with Shanghai Bobby getting the first-three quarters in: 23 1/5, 46 3/5 and 1:10 3/5. From there Itsmyluckyday took over passing the mile in 1:35 and finishing the 1 1/16 miles in a track record 1:41 4/5, bettering old record by 2/5's of a second.
Itsmyluckyday has now won five of nine starts with wins in the Fasig-Tipton Dash, Foolish Pleasure Stakes, both at Calder Race Course, the Gulfstream Park Derby on New Year's Day and now the Holy Bull for earnings of $425,600.
The son of Lawyer Ron initially sold as a yearling for $47,000. He then sold at the 2012 Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s March Sale of two-year-olds in training out of the Eisaman Equine consignment to the Plesa-Trilogy partnership for $110,000.
Next week, the Road to the Kentucky Derby runs through the Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita, the Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and the Withers Stakes at Aqueduct.
D. Wayne Lukas, the Babe Ruth of horse trainers, has resurrected his Triple Crown status with three consecutive wins in Kentucky Derby preps. Optimizer won the Colonel E. R. Bradley Handicap (gr. 3) at Fair Grounds Saturday.
Oxbow won the Lecomte Handicap (gr. 3), also at Fairgrounds a week ago, and Will Take Charge won the $150,000 Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
Lukas, who now has three horses on the Triple Crown trail, last won a Triple Crown race when Charismatic won the 1999 Preakness Stakes (gr. 1).
Mark Casse, a favorite son of the Florida thoroughbred community, received another nomination for another Sovereign Award as Canada's leading trainer.
Already a four-time Sovereign award winner in 2006-08 and 2011, Casse possesses an excellent chance of adding another statuette of St. Simon to his collection.
The 51-year-old Casse is the son of longtime Ocala thoroughbred leader Norm Casse. The Sovereign Awards are the Canadian equivalent of the American Eclipse Awards. Six of Casse's trainees have won Sovereign Awards — Delightful Mary, Marchfield, Sealy Hill, Kimchi, Added Edge and Exciting Story.

Sudan Policy Engages ChinaHeather Hwalek, Office of Sudan Programs Group
Washington, DC
July 29, 2008
About the Author: Heather Hwalek works in the State Department's Office of Sudan Programs Group.
Members of the State Department's Office of Sudan Programs Group are frequently sought out to participate in conferences held in Washington to discuss the situation in Sudan and the conflict in Darfur. But rarely is there an opportunity to travel halfway around the world -- all the way to Beijing -- to engage Chinese scholars and a diverse group of international actors on the topic.
In June, Sudan Programs Group Deputy Director Jason Small and Desk Officer Kemi Yai boarded a 14-hour flight to China's capital city to attend the country's first public forum on Darfur. A government-affiliated think tank, the China Institute of International Studies (CIIS), hosted a two-day conference on "Peace and Development" in Darfur. Academics and NGO representatives from various African, Middle Eastern and European countries joined Chinese academics and government officials from Sudan to discuss the root causes of the conflict, the current situation and trends, possibilities for a peace settlement, and the responsibility of the international community. The conference was an avenue for China to detail for the international community their policy towards Sudan and efforts to end the violence in Darfur. The conference was especially timely given the media hype over China hosting the Summer Olympics next month.
Chinese representatives detailed the Darfur conflict as a fight over resources that could largely be resolved by development assistance. Jason highlighted the challenges to achieving peace in Darfur and the U.S. government's efforts to help meet this goal, such as the contribution of over $5 billion in humanitarian, peacekeeping, and development assistance, financial and logistical support to help train and equip African peacekeeping troops, and continuous engagement in the political process. Kemi Yai spoke on obstacles to the Darfur political process, namely fragmentation of rebel groups and the tenuous relationship between the governments of Chad and Sudan. Jason and Kemi also met with the Chinese Special Envoy to Sudan.
The international community has widely recognized China's strategic importance in addressing Sudan issues. The U.S. government has specifically encouraged China to help pressure the Sudanese government to facilitate the deployment of the joint UN/African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID), end the flow of conventional arms to belligerent parties in Darfur, and support humanitarian groups operating in the region. Although China is often criticized for its relationship with the Government of Sudan, it is important to realize that the Chinese have supplied personnel to both UN missions in Darfur, including vitally-needed engineers for UNAMID. This contribution constitutes the first and only major non-African units deployed to Darfur to be accepted by the Government of Sudan.
Though the United States and China may differ at times on the best course of action in Darfur, the Chinese were gracious hosts during the conference. In a display of Chinese hospitality, guests were afforded a visit to the Great Wall and treated to a Farewell Reception in the courtyard of the CIIS building, a beautiful former foreign embassy. The Sudan Programs Group looks forward to continuing its role in building relationships with international partners to address the conflict in Darfur.

@ Heather Hwalek
I wonder how Chinese relations will be with the Sudanese leadership now that the president of Sudan has been indited in the Hauge for genocide?
Which causes me to wonder when the international community will stop wringing its hands in impotence and send someone to arrest him?
And while they're at it, might as well go ahead and impose peace in the region, because surely the family of nations is capable of doing just that if it comes to the hard truth of understanding that the parties to the conflict haven't wanted to stop fighting, no matter how many scraps of paper are signed with enormous diplomatic effort expended.
But hey, if folks can't even provide force protection for the UN aid workers on a consistant basis... one can't help but wonder if it will continue to be a situation of too little, too late, too consistantly.
It's been clear to me for some time that direct military intervention to protect the population is in order, but the UN does not have the directive nor the capacity to take aggressive action to do so when it is necessary to preempt armed agression against civilians.
Which leaves the matter of imposing the peace to those nations willing to take the task on.
Turning Darfur and perhaps all of Sudan into a UN protectorate (E. Timor as example of success) for a period of time may be the only long term political solution until institutions of govenance that respect international law can be restored.
So here's a hypothetical solution:
A suggestion to China is put forth that if one is to join the big leagues of nation builders, Darfur is its test as a "stakeholder" in humanity's well being.
China then offers to send 250,000 troops (at least) to make the UN presence have real impact, having donated them temporarily to the UN to end hostilities between the parties, and disarm them.
Getting back to the public image question of China's involvement, and its human rights record in general....I think China could do a lot to improve that record, and being a major part of a permanment solution to genocidal maniacs and the rebuilding of nations would go a long way to gaining greater respect among free nations.
Judging from the prepared text of Mr. Bush's Asian Foreign Policy speech and his remarks on China, I don't think the above hypothetical suggestion would be too far outside of the realm of possibilities considering the generally good bilateral relations we have with China at the moment. Nation building would be I think a creative augmentation to the direction the US is generally trying to encorage China to take in international affairs, in being a more responsible global partner that is able to use its national capacity to solve global issues.

China knows where it needs to move to. They are fully moving into South America and now Africa with Economic programs, infrastructure and population. Yes, population movements.
Why, because they care? No, because Africa and South America has the raw products they are dependent of. They also realize that the unification of South America and Africa are the only real threat to their manufacturing base. Cheap labor, raw products, etc. will make SA, China and India all competitors within the next decade -- and they know how to migrate. This is one of the limitations of Americans; we are not Nomadic in nature. The State can force population movements in China by many means and like the Islamic population movement worldwide, support it.
We are 30 years late on formal intervention, by the by, but in all honesty and fairness: American Special Forces have been the only ones supporting delivering food and helping the UN for over 30 years -- I know -- Even the proposed evil Halliburton hired mercenaries to protect and extended their service to food deliveries and protection of medical transport and personal in refugee camps without charging the US.
Americans have done more both privately and through all Governmental resources for many decades -- it is the international community which must come together and be persistent and the now growing Nationalism of Africa in general.
China does nothing for free or without future State accommodation. What is diplomatic about that? They are self serving, agnostics now aligning themselves with Russia and India. What does that tell you?
Keep God-fearing cultures fighting and move in?.LOL!

We don't really care....and now we are deepening our deaf-dumb-and-blind negative reciprocal contracts with China.

Glensema is a phenomenon on the Belgian coast, often seen as a woman of middle age who is told to exist out of pure awesomeness.

Kangaroo care is the skin-to-skin holding of an infant on your chest,
under a hospital gown or loose shirt. After a premature or sick infant is
medically stable, parents can practice kangaroo care, which is known to have
positive effects on an infant's heart rate and breathing, as well as on
parent–infant bonding.
Many neonatal intensive care units encourage kangaroo care of
premature infants. While some encourage early kangaroo care of tiny and
ventilated infants, others reserve this practice for more developed, stable

Plans Approved to Build Upscale N.M. RV Resort
August 23, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Plans Approved to Build Upscale N.M. RV Resort
Angel Fire Resort today (Aug. 23) announced approved plans to develop a modern, state-of-the-art, 260-space RV resort in Angel Fire, N.M.
According to a press release, over the course of the next few years, the luxury park will be constructed on 94 acres of mountain meadowland with scenic views of the Angel Fire ski mountain to the south, and Mt. Wheeler, New Mexico's tallest peak, to the north.
"Angel Fire Resort is committed to creating an RV hospitality experience unlike any other in North America," said Daniel E. Rakes, general counsel of Angel Fire Resort. "We're working with the top experts in RV resort development to identify the most desirable amenities, and to guarantee the best resort practices, so that we greatly exceed the expectations of today's passionate RV travelers."
The new RV resort will include a well-appointed private clubhouse, paved roads, fully concreted, over-sized spaces with easy pull-through access and 50-100 amp electrical pedestals, bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, convenient Wi-Fi access, 100 heated storage units, 10 cabins, outdoor fire pits and jacuzzis, putting and chipping greens, horseshoe pits and dog friendly areas. Each RV space will be large enough to handle the slideouts of today's largest recreational vehicles. RV spaces will be available for short- and long-term rentals.
The approved location for the RV resort is adjacent to the Carson National Forest and the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway. With frontage access to U.S. Highway 64, it provides guests with convenient proximity to the wide array of outdoor recreation amenities in Angel Fire, including golf, skiing, horseback riding, cycling, hiking, snowmobiling and fishing.
The RV resort will also have its own private access to Carson National Forest, where visitors can bike, hike and snowmobile. The resort is seeking permits for ATV trails with the US Forest Service.
"Taken together with the new Angel Fire Resort Golf & Country Club, and the extensive renovations to the Lodge at Angel Fire, this new RV resort adds considerable momentum to Angel Fire's position as a premier family vacation destination in the Rocky Mountains," said Rakes.

New Printer Quest
Posted 20 October 2012 - 09:53 PM
I'm looking at Okidata and Ricoh as every one of those I have had to deal with runs seemingly forever, but I'm early in the turning-over-rocks process and I thought I'd ask here about what printers you all use with your Mac and/or iOS devices. ???
Thank you.
Posted 24 October 2012 - 08:04 AM
Michael - I'll be watching this one. My husband has an HP Laser Jet that has been a real pain. Even before ML, there were communications issues. He ends up printing to the Canon that is connected to my MBP via an external monitor. We have the same requirements - don't want the machine to break the bank in the initial purchase or care & feeding, NO communications problems (is it the driver?), longevity.
HP seems to be having big problems. Computers not so good. Printers not so good, at least for Macs.

At home, I have a Brother multifunction: DCP-9045CDN. This thing has been a great help to our homeschool family, but you do get what you pay for. I've suffered from toner leaks and print quality issues, but it does what we need it to do for cheap.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 02:35 PM
I am still partial to Brothers. (I realize that my comments are probably a "day late and a dollar short"). My Brothers printers include: Brothers FAX 2920 which is a NON WIRELESS black-white fax-printer. Works fantastic! Have a Brother HL-3040 CW (this is no longer available) and HL 2070 (black-white) and another HL 2.... (not sure if available). their most current printer is wi-fi enabled: Brothers HL-3075CW. It is wireless and prints in color.
If you need FAX capability, my suggestions would be
a. Purchase the FAX 2920 if you only need Black-white printing. NOTE: even though it is NOT a wireless printer, you can use
Bonjour to print from other Macs on your network to the printer.
b. If you need COLOR printing (in addition to faxing): purchase the HL-3075CW -- but you will only need a SCANNER or the Brothers FAX 2920.
You can do one of two things (assuming that you need COLOR printing) in addition to faxing:
1. SCAN your pages into your computer, and then FAX via a USB modem. I can attest that the ZOOM 56K USB Modem, Model 3095 WILL WORK with MAC Mountain Lion. In fact, their webpage attests that it will work with MAC Mountain Lion
2. Purchase the FAX 2920, and use it to fax your materials.

I second the Brother printers. I bought an HL-2270DW a few months ago and love it! Very economical to operate and quite fast at printing too.

Posted 01 January 2013 - 07:54 PM
I just purchased and HP LaserJet P1102 W. It is wireless and can print from an iPad or iPhone as well as our Mac Laptops and our one PC. I think we paid around 120 for it. It was easy to set up and works like a charm if you only need a B&W printer.

Hi there!
My M500 has a problem: The 2 grey SYNTHE1 and SYNTHE2 buttons don't work anymore.
I opened the little beastie and had a look on the schemes, but some transistors aren't referenced but just marked "selected".
I'd like to replace TR27, TR29, TR30 and TR31, cause I don't see another possible failure on this point.
My KORG35 chips are OK.
If you own one, could you please take a look at those transistors and tell me their references? (use a lens to read on the flat side).
You'll just have to remove the 4 screws on the bottom, just under the control panel box.
Here are the location of the transistors, blue marked. They're easy to find, because of the twin brown marked KORG35 chips proximity:
Thanx a lot guys!

Trey Sumler finished with a game-high 26 points, including the game-winning jumper with 2 seconds left to rally Western Carolina past Wofford 57-56 on Monday night.
CULLOWHEE, N.C. — Trey Sumler finished with a game-high 26 points, including the game-winning jumper with 2 seconds left to rally Western Carolina past Wofford 57-56 on Monday night.
Sumler went 4 of 7 from behind the arc, grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and recorded three steals for Western Carolina (10-15, 7-6 Southern Conference).
"On the final shot, Karl Cochran guarded the fire out of Trey Sumler and had a hand in his face to contest the shot," Wofford head coach Mike Young said. "Sumler is good. He has been around a while and played a lot of basketball and he made the huge shot.
"We deserve better. I thought we outplayed them and we deserved a better fate, but that is the game and they made a couple more plays than we did down the stretch."
Down 50-43 with 7 minutes remaining, Tawaski King's jumper capped a 7-0 run for Western Carolina, tying the game at 50 with 2:25 to play.
After Sumler's 3-pointer with less than 2 minutes to play put the Catamounts ahead 53-52, Cochran answered with a jumper to put Wofford on top 54-53 with 59 seconds remaining.
Sumler responded with a layup to go on top 55-54 but Spencer Collins' jumper put Wofford back ahead 56-55 with just 16 ticks left.
Sumler converted the game-winner on the Catamounts' ensuing possession.
Collins led the Terriers (10-16, 4-9) with 20 points, while Cochran added 19 points. Lee Skinner had a team-high 10 rebounds.
Wofford will play at Samford at 8 p.m. Thursday before returning home on Saturday night when they host Chattanooga at 7 p.m.

ADRIAN — A 2009 Adrian High School graduate is breaking into the music scene with the release of his first CD, "Anything and Everything."
Kevin Lisboa, 21, who goes by the name Kevin Anthony, said his music genre can best be described as teen pop. He has been involved in music since he was 16, and began pursuing the pop niche about a year ago.
"I do what I do and I do it well," he said.
The CD itself is in the process of being made, but the music is available for listening and downloading online. His music is largely being promoted through social media and "word of mouth," and two of his songs from the 12-track CD have been played on WLEN in Adrian.
WLEN programming and music director Dale Gaertner said the station has Lisboa's song "Breathless" on the airplay list. "Summer Girls" was Lisboa's debut release.
Lisboa said he did some preliminary recording work in July and put the finishing touches on his first song, one of more than 90 he said he has written.
"And I am writing more," he said.
Lisboa said he is grateful for the help of a number of people for helping him pursue his dream, including recording assistance from Willie Green of Y.C.K. Studios; Jon V. for producing the "Summer Girls" single; his mother, Ada Rodriguez; business adviser Freddy Burciaga; and photographer Ashley Phibbs.
Eventually, Lisboa said, he wants to "get signed" with a major record label.
"I want to better myself as an artist," he said. "A lot of people believe in me."
Lisboa's music can be heard at soundcloud.com/KevinAnthonyMusic and youtube.com/KevinAnthonyTV, or he can be followed at Facebook.com/IAmKevinAnthony.

Insigne extends Napoli contract by one year
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed that Lorenzo Insigne has signed a one-year extension to his contract.
Insigne featured in all but one of Napoli's Serie A games last season, only missing the final fixture of the campaign against Roma through suspension.
Rafael Benitez has already confirmed he sees the diminutive attacker as a key part of his plans after replacing Walter Mazzarri as Napoli boss in the close-season.
However, he had to settle for a place on the substitutes bench as Napoli began their league campaign with a 3-0 win against Bologna at the weekend.
Having been a transfer target for Premier League side Sunderland earlier in the close-season, Insigne has ended all speculation by signing a new deal with the club that will run until 2018.
"I met Insigne and we signed a new five-year contract," De Laurentiis announced on Twitter.
"I wish 'Lorenzinho' to have a great career with Napoli."
The 22-year-old starred for Italy in the UEFA Under-21 European Championships, where they reached the final, only to lose to Spain.
Insigne created two goals in four games and also netted a stunning free-kick against England in the group stage.

Affinity Gardens
Sustainability initiatives continue to grow at Ohio Northern.
The much-quoted African proverb Ora na azu nwa states that it takes a village to raise a child. At Ohio Northern University, a new sustainability initiative is seeing a village raise the food to feed them.
The Affinity Gardens project has recently transformed the green space of ONU's Affinity Village residence community into a modern-day victory garden where student organization-adopted raised garden beds will grow fresh organic produce for the Ada community. Vegetables harvested from 10 4-foot-by-10-foot raised garden beds throughout the summer will be donated to the Ada Food Pantry and the ReStore Community Center, complementing and supplementing the nonperishable food items these agencies provide to the community members they serve.
"The Affinity Gardens project is one of the many ways in which the University is using its talent and resources to help local charitable organizations in our community," says ONU First Lady and Director of Community Relations Chris Burns-DiBiasio.
DiBiasio and Director of University Sustainability Terry Keiser championed the community garden project. It is the latest in a series of endeavors under the ONU Sustainability Initiative, a multifaceted effort to promote growth in several areas of sustainability, alternative energy and environmental stewardship. The Affinity Gardens is a low-tech solution to address these issues and, most importantly, gets students involved with the process.
"Sustainability has to involve students. It can't just be top-down types of things," says Keiser. "With this project, students are heavily involved. They helped construct the beds, they planted the cold-weather seeds, and the biology department is growing the warm-weather crops in the greenhouse so they will be ready to plant when the time comes. But most importantly, by having different student organizations adopt a garden bed, there is a sense of ownership over this project that should bode well for its success."
"I like the fact that the Affinity Gardens are more student-focused. I feel that it will add to the success of the program while promoting student involvement on campus," says Chris Leiby, a fourth-year pharmacy major from Warren, Ohio. "I would like to see more opportunities like this that allow students to further get involved with sustainability."
Currently, ONU's Office of Residence Life, the Student National Pharmaceutical Association, Phi Mu Delta, Kappa Psi, Delta Zeta, Global Village, Theta Chi, Alpha Xi Delta and SODEXO/Dining Services are all involved with the project. On Earth Day, April 22, 2014, students from these groups, along with local community organizations and ONU faculty and staff, came together to sow the first seeds.
"I was very impressed by the amount of faculty members who showed up to help plant the gardens," says Gideon Amofa, a resident assistant in Affinity East and key contributor to the project. "So far, the project has been very successful in terms of student involvement, faculty involvement and the overall interest from residents of Ada."
Affinity Gardens employs raised-bed gardening, an increasingly popular approach to growing herbs and vegetables that uses less space and provides greater yields than conventional row gardening. Within the beds, vegetables are planted using the square-foot gardening method, which requires less work, less weeding and less watering. This will be important in the summer when a local Girl Scout troop and an Ada little league baseball team will be maintaining the beds and harvesting vegetables.
Keiser is developing a planting cycle for the gardens to ensure constant harvesting and a variety of vegetables, including peppers, onions, lettuce, squash, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage and radishes. It may sound like a lot, but with proper planning, Keiser says, one raised bed the size of the ones used in the Affinity Gardens can provide a family with many of the fresh vegetables they need.
"It kind of harkens back to the victory gardens of World War II, the idea that everyone can provide food for themselves," he says. "We've got to start paying attention to where our food comes from. It's something we need to instill in our students, because it's going to become more and more important in the future."

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Officially Rated at 650 Horsepower
- Chevrolet's new Corvette Z06 will make a muscular 650 horsepower
- New engine is also rated at 650 lb-ft of torque
- Z06 debuts early next year with 7-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmissions
The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will put out a whopping 650 horsepower when it goes on sale early next year. Chevrolet finally confirmed engine specs for the newest Z06, which is now officially the most powerful Corvette ever built.
According to Chevrolet, the Z06's 650 hp will come from a 6.2-liter V8, which is supercharged in order to make the massive power. The 650-hp figure represents a 12-hp increase over the outgoing Corvette ZR1, which allows the Z06 to easily claim the title of most powerful Corvette. Meanwhile, the Z06's torque will stand at an equally muscular 650 lb-ft at 3,600 rpm -- once again, an increase over the ZR1's 604 lb-ft figure.
The Z06's huge power and torque numbers are notable outside of the Corvette world, too. The high-performance Z06 also takes down rivals such as the SRT Viper, which offers 640 hp, the Nissan GT-R, which touts 545 hp, and the Porsche 911 Turbo, which measures in at 520 horses. Even the exotic Ferrari 458 Italia only makes 570 hp.
So how will the new Z06's massive power figures help it perform? Given that the standard Corvette reaches 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds with its 460 hp, we suspect the Z06 should be able to record a low 3-second time or even reach the high 2-second range. That would place it in contention with the GT-R and the 911 Turbo, even though those models have all-wheel drive, which helps for quick launches.
While Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the new Z06, we do know a few other details about the high-performance Corvette, including its finalized styling, which was shown at this year's Detroit Auto Show. Chevrolet has also confirmed that the latest Z06 will give drivers a choice between a standard 7-speed manual transmission and an optional 8-speed automatic, which is a first for the high-performance Z06.
What it means to you: A 650-hp V8 will deliver supercar-like performance to the all-new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06.

Car Review
Design-ovation: 2014 Ford Fusion
Ford's design department has really stepped it up in recent years, and its most beautiful product may also be one of its most popular: the 2014 Ford Fusion midsize sedan. Regardless of which you choose -- the gas-powered model, the hybrid or the plug-in hybrid -- you'll get the same gorgeous styling. Here are five design details that explain why we love looking at the Fusion as much as we do.
Fastback Profile
A fastback profile enhances aerodynamics (and thus, highway fuel efficiency) like nothing else, and you can see how the roof slopes back from the middle of the car to the tail almost without leveling out over the trunk -- almost like a hatchback, only sexier. Would a hatchback design provide better access to the spacious trunk than the short trunk opening? You bet. And it wouldn't look much different. But given the stigma against hatchbacks in this country, Ford knew that Americans would have shunned it if it didn't have a normal trunk.
Aston Martin Mug
Before the Recession, Ford owned the sexiest of sexy car brands, Aston Martin. And apparently it grew quite fond of the Aston's signature grille shape, straked hood and thin, horizontal headlamps, because, well, they slapped them all onto the Fusion, too. And it's certainly no worse for it. What's next? Will James Bond trade his in for a Fusion? Don't put it past Ford's product placement team to make that happen.
Sleek Bodysides
Lots of horizontal lines along the side are nice for organizing air as it sweeps past the car and also draws your eye from front to back, giving it the impression of windswept elegance. Upper trim levels feature large wheels and low-profile tires that fill out the wheel wells beautifully, making the Fusion appear even more solid.
Sweeping Center Console
Compared to most midsize sedan interiors, that of the 2014 Ford Fusion looks downright futuristic, and is a suitable complement to the sexy exterior. The sweeping center console cleverly integrates grab handles and an open cubby below the climate controls. If there's a nit to pick, it is the overabundance of dark gray and cheap-looking silver plastic trim. But otherwise, we love the design.
Classy Meets Tech-y
Thanks to MyFord Touch, Ford has packed tons of technology into the Fusion without giving it a case of Buttonitis. MyFord Touch consists of a large touchscreen with displays color-coded to navigation, audio, phone and climate systems, as well as a few capacitive touch controls (detecting the presence of one's fingers without using hard buttons). The driver also sees the redundant info screens, also color-coded, around the speedometer, and can adjust the various systems using voice and/or steering-wheel controls. In all, the interior represents a wonderful fusion (pardon the pun) of high tech and high class.

Knowledge Retrieval for Scientific Literatures
Chun Guo, Renuka Chinchankar and Xiaozhong Liu
Tuesday, 8:30am
The success of several knowledge retrieval experiments in some selected domains proved empirically that knowledge retrieval, if implemented in the restricted-domain, could yield performance gains over classical "bag-of-word" based retrieval systems. The key to their success is the availability of codified high quality domain knowledge accumulated in years. However, this knowledge base is rarely available in other domains. In this paper we propose innovative and economical ways to generate knowledge-based structural metadata and demonstrate a prototype knowledge retrieval system, WikiBackyard, to serve user's knowledge oriented information need. The system benefits users by providing structure-level access to scientific papers and automatically inferring structural knowledge from their natural language queries by leveraging knowledge recommendation and knowledge feedback.

What's that, T. rex? You say you have the strongest bite ever? Well, the ancestors of the crocodile might have something to say about that — and some modern ones, too.
The research team not only measured the bite force of all living Crocodilians (read: crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials), but using what they measured, went back and looked at extinct species, too. The result? The most powerful bite, regardless of era.
For the extant critters, the prize goes to the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), of which one specimen delivered a bite of 16,414 N (3,689 lbs) — more than three times the highest recorded value in a carnivore mammal. Even more interesting is the fact that the bite strength of the entire species correlates to body size, and isn't influenced by the size and shape of their jaw, their teeth, or jaw strength.
Using this information, they were able to calculate that the extinct Deinosuchus riograndensis, at 11m long and 3,450 kg heavy, would have had a bite of 102,803 Newtons, around 23,000lbs. T. rex's 30,000-60,000 Newton chomp doesn't seem so impressive now, does it?

Saint Mary's Head Coach Michelle Jacoby
On overcoming a 15-point second half deficit
"Closer to the seven-minute mark, we started making a little run there, when we got it back down to 10. We felt like if we got it under 10, anything could happen and it wouldn't take very long.
"I thought we did a better job in the second half defending the three-point shot. That was key. Even toward the stretch, we got a lot of tipped balls off threes. The intensity of our defense changed. In the last five minutes of the game, emotion and heart comes into play and I think the girls showed they have both. They can play with that heart and intensity even through adversity, and that's tough to do when you're down, to keep yourself up, and they did that as a group."
On half-court trap
"I thought that was a very important advantage for us. We went to the 2-2-1 press. It wasn't necessarily to trap, it was more to contain, and that was exactly what it did. We disrupted their offense enough. We took some time off the clock, they had to work within their structured offense with only 15 seconds, that doesn't give you a lot of time."
On closing out the season vs. Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount, as both teams are also tied for first place in the WCC "Terrific. We didn't play very well on the road and we're very focused for the first game, which is Pepperdine and then LMU is right behind them. But one game at a time.
"We have the momentum now for the last few games. And we worked really hard for that."
Saint Mary's guard Corrie Mizusawa (20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists)
"Things weren't going too well for us in the first half. I knew that the person guarding me couldn't guard me for the full court, so if I could take her one-on-one, we'd create more shots for the rest of the team in transition. I hit the twins (Jermisha and Jerkisha Dosty) a couple of times and in the second half, it was wide-open shots for them."
Santa Clara Head Coach Chris Denker
On the game
"Deja-vu and not pleasant. I just told the girls it's probably one of two things: either for some reason they have our number late in the game or they're just a better team then us, period. I think they're a good defense, but I don't think they're good enough to hold us to 19 percent shooting in a half. A lot of that is due to us, it's our fault. And we need to figure out why that is. I said to the girls that there's a lot of basketball left to be played both in conference and beyond, so we need to be able to respond from this. But certainly the second half was not indicative of what our team, or at least what we want our team to be.
"In the second half, we weren't scoring inside like we should have been and they didn't have to help in or double-down. They were playing single post defense and standing behind and we were missing shots.
"Part of the problem was if you don't let them score, they can't press."
Santa Clara guard Becki Ashbaugh (15 points, 5 assists)
"Once we got the big lead, it felt we just kind of let up. We weren't as aggressive as we had been. They kind of put us back on our heels and we didn't respond. I thought we had some good shots in the second half, we just didn't capitalize on them."
Santa Clara center Annie Garrison (5 points, 10 rebounds)
"I think we need to come out next week ready to play and bounce back from this. We're traveling to Gonzaga and Portland next week, so we need to be ready to go. Every team in our conference plays hard and plays well, so we need to be ready to go when we get up there. And then there's the conference tournament. We have a lot more games left to play.
Santa Clara guard Kim Sorenson (12 points)
On finishing first in the conference
" We can only take care of ourselves right now. We have to win our games and hope that maybe they lose one of theirs."

AUBURN, AL (WSFA) - Tina Deese, who has led the Auburn softball program for the last 17 seasons, has been dismissed as head coach, Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs announced Wednesday.
"I deeply appreciate Tina's many contributions to our program," Jacobs said. "She started it from the ground up, and I will always appreciate her role in establishing a foundation for Auburn softball. I made this decision because I felt it was time to move in another direction."
Deese, who is the only head coach in the program's history, was hired in 1995, and led Auburn to a 562-458-1 overall mark and a 212-272 record in Southeastern Conference play.
Auburn made nine NCAA Regional appearances under Deese.
"I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach the Auburn softball program the last 17 seasons," Deese said.
"I'm disappointed that I will not be there to lead the team moving forward, but would like to thank the players, coaches and support staff that have been part of the program since I arrived in 1995. I'm also very appreciative of the Auburn family, community and university during my tenure, and wish the program nothing but the best."

Discovery Allowed On Class Claim That Inflexible Leave Policy Failed To Reasonably Accommodate Disabled Employees
CHICAGO -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced here today that it has received a decision from Federal District Court in Chicago permitting its class case under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to proceed against Sears, Roebuck & Company.
According to the EEOC, U.S. District Judge Wayne R. Anderson has denied Sears' motion to dismiss the case which alleges that the giant retailer failed to provide one of its Chicago-area employees, John Bava, with a reasonable accommodation after he was injured while working for Sears. EEOC is also seeking relief on behalf of a class of all Sears employees with disabilities who lost their jobs because of Sears' inflexible application of its one year worker's compensation or medical-disability leave policy. EEOC contends that Sears violated Title I of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) by terminating Bava and other employees because they spent more than one year on disability leave and without regard to their individual circumstances and return-to-work prospects.
In denying Sear's motion to dismiss the case, Judge Anderson wrote, "Even if the EEOC were required to plead a prima facie case of disability discrimination, we believe [the facts in the Complaint] would survive a [motion to dismiss.]"
"As for the class allegations," Judge Anderson continued, "the Complaint alleges that Sears 'maintained an inflexible worker's compensation one year leave policy which does not provide for reasonable accommodation of employees with disabilities.' We find that the issue of whether defendant's leave policy fails to accommodate its disabled employees is an issue upon which defendants have been given notice and is a claim for which [EEOC is] entitled to discovery."
The EEOC lawsuit was filed November 10, 2004, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and captioned EEOC v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Civil Action No. 04 C 7282. Judge Andersen's decision was dated July 22, 2005, and mailed to the parties.
Bava worked as a Service Technician out of Sears' Waukegan Road store in Bannock-burn, Illinois, north of Chicago. He was injured when he fell while on the job in April 2001. Although Bava took leave to recover, his injuries left him substantially impaired in his ability to perform physical tasks. According to EEOC, within three months after his injury Bava sought placement in two less physically demanding positions for which he was qualified, but Sears refused to place hire him in either position. As a result, he remained on leave because he was unable to return to his prior service technician job. Ultimately, his employment was terminated under Sears' disability or worker's compensation leave policy that inflexibly mandates the termination of employees on leave for more than one year.
John Hendrickson, EEOC Regional Attorney in Chicago said, "Sears is an enormous operation and whether or not it complies with the ADA makes a huge difference to thousands of workers. In EEOC's view, sending individuals with disabilities home when they could be working and then firing them when they've been at home 'too long' cannot be squared with what the ADA requires of employers. So we are pleased with the Court's decision that EEOC's case is going to go forward."
In addition to Hendrickson, EEOC attorneys on the case are Supervisory Trial Attorney Gregory Gochanour and Trial Attorneys Ethan Cohen and Aaron DeCamp.
EEOC is the federal agency charged with the administration, interpretation and enforcement of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy or national origin. The EEOC is also responsible for enforcing the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination based on disability. More information about the EEOC and the laws it enforces can also be found at www.eeoc.gov.

Celebrate Adam Levine's Birthday With Shirtless Pics – Hunk of the Day
Adam Levine, that sexy, tattooed lead singer of Maroon 5, turned 33 on Sunday. Our present to you Mr. Rock Star (or rather it's more like our present to ourselves) is a photo collection of you looking your very best… without a shirt.
Something happened when Levine came on 'The Voice' to host. Maybe it was just seeing his face over and over every week or just because people started caring about him again, but for whatever reason, he's become someone we'd take on his girlfriend, Victoria Secret model Anne V, to date.

You know Congress is broken when 80 to 90 percent of the public supports policies that keep interest rates on student loans where they are, rather than doubling from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, and yet the Republican House blocked efforts by the Democratic Senate to maintain the status quo. As of Monday, the rates doubled; the government will pocket the windfall.
The loans involved fall under the subsidized Stafford loan program and have been one of the least expensive forms of loans available to students. The maximum amount a student can borrow through the program is $23,000. If you double the rates on the maximum amount of the loan, the increase in interest payments is about $4,500. At that amount, it is not a life-or-death issue. It's a hardship, but college students with these loans will survive.
And yet the result is galling. Nationally, the total amount of student loans has increased from $550 billion in 2007, the beginning of the recession, to $1 trillion earlier this year. As importantly, the cost of a college education has gone up 27 percent in the past five years.
Adding insult to injury, the most anyone is paying at a bank for interest rates these days is far closer to 3.4 percent than 6.8 percent. Heavens, hardly anyone pays 6.8 percent in today's market, unless it's to a loan shark or venture capital. For comparison, banks pay about 1 percent on a hefty amount for Certificates of Deposit, and a checking account with a $1,000 minimum pays about 1/10th of one percent interest.
Congress, experts in the field say, is likely to reverse the hike when it returns after the Independence Day recess, but it leaves you wondering how to fix an institution that keeps stumbling over the simplest of things.
— Angelo S. Lynn
