Two Sioux Falls Juveniles Arrested After Fight
Two Sioux Falls juveniles are each facing a list of charges after an alcohol-fueled incident that began with a fight early(Friday.
Officer Sam Clemens says a neighbor in the 900 block of West 10th Street called police to report three young people fighting on a sidewalk around 2:15am
Clemens says all three took off when officers arrived, but a 17-year-old was caught, and he began fighting with police.
He says the teen punched an officer several times, and even after he was brought under control he spat at officers and also made threats
Clemens says a 15-year-old male was also arrested, and both were taken to the Juvenile Detention Center. The third teenager was not located.
He says the 17-year-old is charged with two counts each of simple assault on law enforcement and sliming, as well as threatening a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstructing law enforcement, fleeing, disturbing the peace, curfew violation and underage consumption.
The 15-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, fleeing, curfew violation and underage consumption.
Clemens says the 17-year-old was described as "highly intoxicated."

Getting the scrollbar width in pixels
2006-05-31 01:42:00
Update: The code in this post is licensed under the terms of the Apache License, version 2.
Working on the new fluid layout code for Scooby, I had a seemingly intractable problem -- I needed to do percent-based side-to-side alignment of elements inside two
div elements, one positioned directly above the other. The catch was that the lower
div scrolled, and the upper one did not.
I tried two or three different things, but couldn't get around it -- ultimately I needed to set a horizontal offset on the top
div that would be the same precise width as the scrollbar in the
div below.
Interestingly, the irritatating IE bug of calculating the 100% width before adding scrollbars to a scrolling div makes this unnecessary -- all you have to do is set the same arbitrary offset for both
div elements (as long as it's wider than any Windows scrollbar might be so you don't end up with content under the scroller).
For the well-behaved browsers, though, I just decided to do some hacking, and came up with something that reliably gives you the actual pixel width of the scroller. There is likely a better way to do it, but here's what I ended up with:
function getScrollerWidth() {
var scr = null;
var inn = null;
var wNoScroll = 0;
var wScroll = 0;
// Outer scrolling div
scr = document.createElement('div');
scr.style.position = 'absolute';
scr.style.top = '-1000px';
scr.style.left = '-1000px';
scr.style.width = '100px';
scr.style.height = '50px';
// Start with no scrollbar
scr.style.overflow = 'hidden';
// Inner content div
inn = document.createElement('div');
inn.style.width = '100%';
inn.style.height = '200px';
// Put the inner div in the scrolling div
// Append the scrolling div to the doc
// Width of the inner div sans scrollbar
wNoScroll = inn.offsetWidth;
// Add the scrollbar
scr.style.overflow = 'auto';
// Width of the inner div width scrollbar
wScroll = inn.offsetWidth;
// Remove the scrolling div from the doc
// Pixel width of the scroller
return (wNoScroll - wScroll);
Okay, so it's fairly obvious and a bit brute-force.
All it does is add a couple of
div elements to the document and actually measure widths with and without the scroller. But I was pretty excited to be able to grab that value correctly and reliably for Safari, as well as for Firefox on Linux and on Windows -- with both the XP "Hasbro" look and the old-skool Soviet-bloc style.
And of course, as you might guess, it's different everywhere. Yes, it is.
This function has been modified by the OpenLayers from the original version, written by Matthew Eernisse and released under the Apache 2 license here:
http://www.fleegix.org- /articles- /2006- /05- /30- /getting-the-scrollbar-width-in-pixels
It has been modified simply to cache its value, since it is physically impossible that this code could ever run in more than one browser at once.

I don't think I'll go for a fish pedicure again, so it's just as well that I have some home pedicure goodies!
Remember the Ped Egg (aka. Cheese Grater for feet?). The new upgraded version is the Bullet Pedi Pro, the 'electronic personal pedicure' device from JML. This is battery operated (oh-er) and has 2 speeds, as well as replaceable pads. Like the previous version, the dead skin goes into the base of the machine to tip out.
They say: Pedi Pro Deluxe is a professional pedicure treatment that fits in the palm of your hand. This electronic personal bodycare system has a high-speed rotating head, with hundreds of ultra fine micro-crystals. The head quickly, but gently, removes dead and hard calloused skin, while exfoliating and rejuvenating your feet.
Is it any good?!
First off, let's look at the machine. I swear it looks like a sex toy. I don't know why, it just looks like a giant erect nipple to me. If your mother in law came around you end up swinging it around and saying, 'it's a foot file! it's a foot file!'.
Pull off the silver part to reveal the grater bit. The other bit is for the batteries.
Inside is a silver part which has giant holes. We tried using this – now it looks very scary when turned on, like a hacksaw. Obviously for this reason I tried it on Mr C to see if it'd draw blood – but it doesn't. If you apply too much pressure the machine automatically stops right away.
I found this machine to be quite gentle; I guess because you just can't press it too hard without it stopping, where as with the Ped Egg, or other foot files you can really get at the hard skin (sometimes this is not a good thing though!).
Now – stick a black pad on (they give you a few in the pack), then we are talking. I immediately felt the skin smoothing out and I had quite nice, soft feet after that.
Once again isn't for heavy duty filing by any means. If you have bit massive wodges of hard skin you may want to use a traditional file first to get it off as this wil help smooth out, but it won't chip away at thick layers of dead skin IMO.
Don't use this anywhere stupid as the dust goes everywhere, so keep it in the bathroom or somewhere easy to clean. This does turn hard skin to dust, rather than chunks that are easier to clean away so bear in mind.
Verdict: I like it, it is a good upgrade, and works for me as I don't have lots of dead skin. If I did I'd prefer the original Ped Egg.
Buy the item from JML (£19.99) here.

Yankees Named Most Valuable Team for 17th Year
NEW YORK (AP) — Forbes ranks the New York Yankees as baseball's most valuable team for the 17th straight year and lists the Tampa Bay Rays with the lowest valuation.
Forbes said Wednesday it estimates the Yankees are worth $2.5 billion, up 9 percent from last year. The Dodgers are next at $2 billion, a 24 percent hike and matching their actual sale price in 2012.
Boston was third at $1.5 billion, followed by the Chicago Cubs ($1.2 billion), San Francisco ($1 billion) and Philadelphia ($975 million).
At the bottom were the Rays ($485 million), Kansas City ($490 million), Oakland ($495 million) and Miami ($500 million).
Major League Baseball's average team value rose 9 percent to $811 million. Forbes says values rose primarily because of increased media rights fees.

A Parisian page-turning pilgrimage
The editor of BBC Music Magazine, Oliver Condy, makes a trip to the organ loft of Notre Dame
The 4.30pm Sunday recital slot at Notre Dame, Paris is the one organists crave. It's a rite of passage for any fine player and a tremendous chance to have a go on the ultimate train set – the five-manual 1868 Cavaillé-Coll, complete with en chamades (stops whose pipes are mounted horizontally) of ferocious power.
But playing at Notre Dame is more than just an opportunity to flex your muscles on one of France's most exquisite and daunting organs, as I found out when I was lucky enough to be invited to turn pages for a friend of mine, Paul Dean, who was playing a recital there a couple of Sundays ago.
Performing at this great cathedral is something of a pilgrimage. It is a place where organ heroes have played, improvised and often died, from the great symphonist Louis Vierne (who gave up the ghost halfway through an improvisation in 1937), to Pierre Cochereau, an improviser too, but one of almost impossible skill, who thrilled congregations and audiences right up until his own death in 1984 (but not at the console, this time).
Those accepted as worthy recitalists – application to Notre Dame is by letter, accompanied by CD and a recommendation from a recognised organist – have a few hours a day or so beforehand to set up and acquaint themselves with the organ before being met at 4pm at the gate to the right of the cathedral. (After the long climb up the steps to the organ loft, or tribune, you need a few minutes to get your breath back...) Just before the loft itself, a vaulted ante-room houses the instrument's original console, used until 1959 when it was put into retirement and replaced by today's Anglo-American console. Organ geeks will no doubt be pleased to hear that the ventil system is alive and well in an astonishing array of foot pistons.
The loft itself is spacious, with the console sitting at the bottom of the organ case, facing out towards the east end – a quirk unique, I think, to France. Behind the console sits a computer on which it's rumoured that the current incumbent, Olivier Latry (below), plays solitaire during sermons. It's mostly used to control the organ's settings and recording equipment. There's a choice of benches too – if the modern one is deemed too high, guests can opt for Louis Vierne's own bench, parked rather unceremoniously in the corner and stamped with a commemorative brass plaque.
And then it's down to business. At the height of summer, audiences – if you count harassed tourists in the number – can number over 1,000. The 38-minute recital (not 35, not 40, thank you) is accompanied by a constant murmur from below. Pulling out all the stops from time to time is recommended. As is the insertion of at least one Romantic or 20th-century French piece into the programme. This is, after all, a pilgrimage...

American Special Trains: Imagining The Possibilities
August 29, 2013
More News & Resources:
The history of American passenger railroading has been filled with a lot of ideas and, yes, even failed attempts. Consider the futuristic Aerotrain, Talgo, and Train X, or conventional trains like the Golden Rocket, Atlantic City Express, American European Express, Louisville Auto Train and The Aces. Ultimately they were unsuccessful and disappointments at best or in the case of the former stillborn at worst. The old adage that "timing is everything" might have a ring of truth to some of the efforts coupled with the twin challenges of finance and politics. Believing that one should not continue to hit one's head against the wall, advocates of enhanced American intercity rail have come to accept failure, lethargy and infighting as the norm. A certain fatigue has set in, the case of the inability to resurrect a full route Sunset Limited, the Pioneer and the Montrealer comes to mind. Further insidious examples include two attempts to bring high-speed rail to Florida, and the…

An April 2012 article from the Journal of Public Transportation entitled "Bus or Rail: An Approach to Explain the Psychological Rail Factor" has been added to the Research Center best practices database. The article by Milena Scherer of ETH Zurich and Katrin Dziekan of the Berlin Institute of Technology explores whether there is an inherent preference for fixed rail transit among transit riders and why. The research found a preference for using rail, assuming equal service conditions, of 63 percent for regional train and 75 percent for trams compared to bus services. The rail factor is highly loaded with emotional and social attributions, the researchers note, and account for 20–50 percent of the share in the different schemata for bus, rail, and tram.

What positives can we take away from the Alabama game?
The game was not pretty; it was a beat down. I do, however, see some areas for hope.
Dennis Norfleet looks to be an emerging star on kick off returns.
The team fought to the end.
We got this loss in our first game, and it's the most talented team on our schedule.
Any other positives you can think of?

Shanghai PPTV Grand Slam | 29 April - 4 May 2014
Shanghai, China, April 29, 2014 – After wasting four match points, last year's Berlin Grand Slam champions Vitor Gonçalves Felipe and Evandro Oliveira of Brazil finally converted on the fifth here Tuesday afternoon to collect an important qualifying victory that secured their berth in the men's Main Draw of the US$800,000 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Shanghai Grand Slam.
Fuzhou Open bronze medallists Jon Stiekema and Christiaan Varenhorst from the Netherlands, Qatar's Tiago De J Santos and Jefferson Santos and five other teams also advanced to the 32-team Main Draw tournament which will start on Wednesday.
Taking the first set 22-20 and leading 20-16 in the second over Jonas Kissling and Mats Kovatsch of Switzerland, Vitor/Evandro allowed their opponents level it at 20-all despite calling a time-out at 20-18. Then Vitor came up big with a kill to make it 21-20 and Evandro stopped ice Kovatsch to wrap up the match in 41 minutes.
Vitor, who had paired with Evandro win the Berlin Grand Slam before taking the Xiamen Grand Slam title together with Alison Cerutti in 2013, reunited with Evandro at the start of this season, but failed to make the Main Draw of the Fuzhou Open last week. Shifting from Fuzhou to Shanghai, Vitor/Evandro are pretty sure they will perform much better in the first Grand Slam event of the season.
"We prepared much better for this tournament, we will do our best in Shanghai," said Evandro.
Stiekema/Varenhorst, the second seeds in the 24-team qualification tournament, eliminated Norway's Morten Kvamsdal/Hordvik Oivind 2-0 (22-20, 21-19).
Playing for Qatar for the first season, De J Santos/Santos Pereira recorded the country's best result at any FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event, a ninth, at the Fuzhou Open last week and continued their impressive run in Shanghai, beating Venezuela's Igor Hernandez and Jesus Villafañe in straight sets (21-13, 21-13) and Swiss duo Alexei Prawdzic/Sebastian Chevallier 2-0 (21-15, 21-12) to join the winners of the 24-team qualification tournament.
"As the only team from Qatar, we are fortunate and proud to win this match," said Santos Pereira. "My wife is a model and she must be waiting for my good news at home. I can not wait to call her."
Other teams making it to the men's Main Draw are Paolo Ingrosso/Matteo Ingrosso (Italy), Nicholas Lucena/Ryan Doherty (USA), Iver Andreas Horrem/Geir Eithun (Norway), Robin Seidl/Alexander Huber (Austria) and Armin Dollinger/Clemens Wickler (Germany).
Featuring newly crowned Fuzhou Open champions Paolo Nicolai/Daniele Lupo of Italy and Shanghai Grand Slam title holders Jacob Gibb/Casey Patterson of USA, the men's Main Draw tournament will start on Wednesday morning. Thirty-two teams will play a single round robin in eight groups with top three finishers from each group to advance to the 24-team knockout stage.
Last week's season-opening US$150,000 FIVB Fuzhou Open got things go in resounding fashion. Italy, Brazil and the Netherlands won the men's medals and USA, Brazil and China captured the podium in the women's competition. The FIVB Fuzhou Open was the season opener for the 2014 FIVB World Tour and the first of seven double-gender FIVB Open tournaments on the 2014 calendar.
The 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour calendar features a record purse of US$10.2 million with a season that extends from late April to mid-December competing at 21 venues in 18 countries. This year's FIVB World Tour includes a record 10 FIVB Grand Slam events, the inaugural Grand Slam Finale and 11 FIVB Open Tournaments throughout the world, helping expand the door for development of the sport even further.
The 10 FIVB Grand Slam competitions, all double-gender, have eight with $800,000 in total purses while both The Hague, Netherlands and the Long Beach, Calif., USA event will have US$1 million each in prize money, the most in FIVB Grand Slam history.

Subscribe To Read Nathan Fillion's Wonderful Foreword To Joss Whedon's Biography Updates
I've already subscribed
While most people know of the relationship between Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion as being a Firefly - and, by extension, Serenity - thing, there really is so much more than that to their collaboration. Even before Fillion became Captain Malcolm Reynolds, he was working with Whedon on Season 7 episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and the years since their sci-fi show was cancelled they've found time to work together on projects like Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Much Ado About Nothing. They have the kind of friendship where if one were to have a biography written about them, the other would write the introduction. And, believe it or not, that's exactly what has happened.
We recently brought you the heartfelt email exchange between Tom Hiddleston and Joss Whedon that was published in the new book about writer/director/showrunner, and now USA Today has published -in full - the foreword to the tome that was written by none other than Nathan Fillion. If you want to read the full thing you'll have to head over to the source (or buy the book), but you can read an excerpt below:
My generation, we were kind of raised on the super-cool, "I can handle anything" with a gun in his hand hero. Any situation you throw at him, he can handle it — with catchphrases. It was very cool.
Joss Whedon has easily one of the biggest geek fanbases in the world, and Fillion's words give away that he is most definitely one of them. It definitely helps that every point the actor makes is completely dead-on in his assessment, as Whedon certainly does have an incredible writing voice that speaks to everyone in his audience.
"Joss Whedon: The Biography" is written by Amy Pascale and is in now in stores everywhere. Joss Whedon's next film, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, will arrive in theaters May 1, 2015.

The Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class offers a luxury convertible that can actually be used all year round due to its steel top. The car has a good design, as you'd expect from Mercedes-Benz, and even with the roof retracted it, offers 6.4 cubic feet of luggage space. This might not sound particularly amazing, but after all, it is a roadster.
Mercedes-Benz introduced this luxury roadster in 1998, and the SLK-Class represents the first modern convertible to use a power-retractable roof top made out of steel panels rather than fabric. Although the panels prove more bulky, and the design more complex, it does have several advantages. The SLK-Class benefits from having a hardtop during bad weather, making the car a more versatile and better year-round choice.
Initially, the SLK-Class didn't get everyone's approval, as many driving enthusiasts found it somewhat uninspiring. Later models have benefited from a better design, creating a more serious sports car. It offers an ideal choice for an all-weather car, while the Mercedes-Benz badge automatically brings luxury and prestige. Its competitors include the Porsche Boxster and the BMW Z3, but it wins over both of these models due to its hardtop roof, which provides greater security and a quieter ride. Drivers can close the roof completely in 30 seconds flat, without even getting out of the car.
This roadster offers all-round solid performance and handling, although it can be slightly slower to respond than others in its class. When the SLK-Class first came out, it only came with a supercharged, 2.3-liter engine, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The lack of a manual gearbox dismays driving enthusiasts. In later years, Mercedes-Benz put this right, making a manual transmission standard, and the automatic an option, and introducing more powerful engines.
In 2012, the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class received a complete redesign. It comes in two different trims: the SLK250 and the SLK350. The SLK 250 contains a 1.8-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine that produces 201 hp. It pairs with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmission. The SLK350 has a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine, producing 302 hp, and it only couples with the automatic transmission.
The retractable metal roof comes standard, but a panoramic glass roof provides an optional extra, and owners can tint the glass darker with the flick of a switch. The cabin still has an attractive design with much more intuitive controls than in previous models. The sporty seats give good support, and the car remains comfortable even on longer drives.
With the top down and the windows up, the wind has minimal effects, but if you suffer from the cold, then it's worth considering the optional warming system, which provides channels of warm air to your neck and shoulders through registers in the headrest. When combined with the heated seats, the system works extremely well and makes for a comfortable ride, even on the coldest days.
1998 marks the first year of production for this model. Its main strength lies in its retractable hardtop roof. Although initially only available with one transmission, Mercedes quickly remedied this the following year, introducing a manual gearbox as a standard feature. In the year 2000, Mercedes introduced several different editions featuring unique colors such as Electric Green and Copper combined with a unique interior. In 2001, Mercedes-Benz pleased enthusiasts by introducing a 3.2-liter, V-6 engine for the SLK320, and replacing five-speed gearboxes with six-speed units. The following couple of years saw no significant changes to this model.
Mercedes-Benz revamped the SLK-Class in 2004, bringing out a special edition that includes napa leather trim for the sport seats, chrome accents around the windows, a color-keyed front grille and rear spoiler, and 17-inch wheels.
In 2006, the SLK-Class received a makeover, resulting in a powerful and eye-catching car which measures slightly larger than the original model while remaining just as much fun to drive. A better steering system combines with a better braking system that feels lighter and more responsive.
2007 saw no real changes to the SLK-Class, and only very minor changes appeared in 2008. These include the SLK350 only coming with automatic transmission and the introduction of a new package to celebrate 10 years of production. This package includes smoked headlights and taillights, special 10-spoke wheels, and a red and black interior scheme.
In 2009, Mercedes-Benz made several changes to the SLK-Class, including making the base level the SLK300, while the SLK350 became more powerful. Steering gets more responsive, and an iPod integration kit provides an optional extra. 2010 models remain largely unchanged.
Some optional equipment became standard for both the SLK300 and SLK350 models in 2011, and Mercedes-Benz introduced an optional pre-paid maintenance program.

Nova Scotia has the largest number of lights of any province in Canada, and some of the oldest, including Sambro, the oldest continuously operating lighthouse in the Americas.
The Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society (NSLPS) was founded in 1994 by lighthouse enthusiasts while on a visit to Sambro Island. The Sambro Island Lighthouse (1758) is
the oldest continuously working lighthouse in the Americas. They were concerned about the condition of the lighthouse and the keeper's houses. They set up the non-profit society to benefit all the 150 plus
lighthouses in Nova Scotia.
In this site you will find information about 170 lighthouses, past and present. Maps and searches let you cruise around the coast or organize your visit by lighthouse name, county,
date or tourist route. Sections of this site give you information about NSLPS, current lighthouse news, lighthouse sounds, reading lists, and more. This is not a static site, it will grow
and change, so visit often.
All of Nova Scotia's lighthouses have been automated and de-staffed. Some are in the care of communities and are open to the public - check them out under "Lighthouses to Visit."
Others can be seen as you drive our coasts. We have a complete sortable listing of lighthouses on "lighthouse lists."

The center's Dar-ol-Quran al-Kareem organized the contest on March 2-4.
As many as 170 Muslims from different European countries, including Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Britain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, France, Austria and the Netherlands, competed in the Quranic event.
It was held in two separate sections for men and women in two age groups of teenagers and adults.
The categories of the competition included Quran recitation, Quran memorization, Adhan (call to prayers), and Quranic concepts.
Mohammad Mohammadi from Germany, Mostafa Ahmadian from Germany, Yusuf al-Assadi from Sweden, and Yusuf al-Khafaji from Denmark were among the top-rank winners, according to the panel of judges.
The center annually organizes the competition with the aim of promoting the Quranic culture and identifying Quranic talents among European Muslims.

Gorilla named Patrick evicted from Dallas Zoo and sent to therapy for sexist attitude
A male gorilla is leaving Dallas Zoo to have therapy after he bit one female gorilla and sneered at others.
Patrick, a 195-kilogram Western lowland gorilla, will be moving to the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia, South Carolina, where he will live the bachelor life in his own digs.
The South Carolina zoo is known for working with gorillas with behavioural problems.
Dallas Zoo officials said Patrick gets along fine with humans but not with other gorillas.
They said they have repeatedly tried to get him to socialise with the other gorillas, particularly the females, in the hope that he might get along and even breed.
Instead, he bit one female and sneered and nipped at others.
"It's not like we haven't tried, he's been here for 18 years," Dallas Zoo spokeswoman Laurie Holloway said.
Patrick was more tolerant of other male gorillas but seemed only to engage with Jabari, who was shot to death by Dallas police after he escaped in 2004 and injured three people.
Because of his cranky behaviour, Patrick has been kept in his own habitat separate from the other gorillas.
The Dallas Zoo needs to reclaim Patrick's space because it recently acquired two new males from the Calgary Zoo, including Zola, a breakdancing gorilla who stars in a video that has gone viral on the internet.
John Davis, curator of mammals at the Riverbanks Zoo, said Patrick will initially be separated from the zoo's three other gorillas, all males, but will be able to see and smell them.
Patrick will eventually be introduced to the other males and zoo officials are not ruling out the possibility they can live together in a spacious bachelor pad, Mr Davis said.
Born at the Bronx Zoo in 1990, Patrick was abandoned by his mother and transferred to the Toronto Zoo, where he was hand-raised along with another male about the same age.
At age 5 he was transferred to Dallas, zoo officials said.
Because of his rearing, Patrick gets along well with people and is a popular favourite among visitors and zookeepers at the zoo, Ms Holloway said.
"He's beautiful and smart and everyone loves him," she said.
"We're really sad to see him go but it's for the best for the zoo and for Patrick."

As a group of Republican senators launch a last-ditch effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act before the end of the month, some colleagues in the House see little reason to expect this fight will end differently than the last.
"I can't say I'm confident the Senate's going to pass a bill," said Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.V. "They fell down on their faces on the last try."
Earlier this summer, Senate Republicans fell one vote shy of passing legislation to repeal elements of the ACA, also known as Obamacare, but four GOP senators said Wednesday that they have another proposal worthy of consideration.
"It should have been our first bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, but it is now our last," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said at a press conference.
The bill, sponsored by Graham alongside Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Dean Heller (R-Nev.), and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), would turn billions of dollars in subsidies and tax credits provided by the ACA into block grants, giving state governments more latitude in how to disperse them.
Critics say this would result in fewer federal dollars being provided for health care than under current law, but proponents argue it would reverse some of the less popular aspects of Obamacare like the individual mandate while preserving others like protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
Due to procedural rules in the Senate, Republicans could lose their window to pass health care reform with a simple majority if they do not vote on the bill by Sep. 30, and Democrats have no desire to help undo President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement. Graham told reporters Wednesday that he believes that timeline can be met, and the White House has expressed support for the measure.
"As I have continued to say, inaction is not an option, and I sincerely hope that Senators Graham and Cassidy have found a way to address the Obamacare crisis," President Donald Trump said in a statement Wednesday.
House Republicans are trying not to get their hopes up.
"There's always 11th hour talk," said Rep. Steve Russell, R-Okla.
"I wouldn't rule it out," said Rep. Evan Jenkins, R-W.V. "It's obviously going to be a heavy lift."
According to Jenkins, party leadership seemed "cautiously optimistic" at conference meetings on Wednesday morning and there is a sense of that they may have the time and momentum to get it done.
"We promised to repeal and replace Obamacare when we got these jobs," Mooney said, adding that if Republicans fail to honor that promise, successful tax reform becomes more urgent.
Democrats in the Senate unveiled their own health care reform proposal Wednesday, one that has even less chance of making it through the current Congress.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., flanked by more than a dozen Democratic senators, pitched a "Medicare for All" proposal at an afternoon press conference.
"At a time when millions of Americans do not have access to affordable health care, the Republicans, funded by the Koch brothers, are trying to take away health care from up to 32 million more," Sanders said. "We have a better idea: guarantee health care to all people as a right, not a privilege, through a Medicare for All, single-payer health care program."
Rep. Susan Bonamici, D-Ore., said Sanders' bill opens an important conversation about how to provide health care for all Americans.
"In a country like the U.S., there's no reason why people should be without access to health care," she said.
While some prominent Democrats, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, stood by Sanders' side, party leaders like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have so far been reluctant to embrace the Medicare for All approach.

Hey John, thanks!
Hi everyone I am Shannon from Rock Hill. Looking to relocate in short order. In the meantime, looking for buddies nearby- or even a smart, freethinking lesbian! I am the only lesbian atheist I know here.
Judge here in our state requires woman to read Bible as part of sentence for DUI.
There is some renewed activity in the Upstate. Check out some new links!
There is a state-wide meetup at the Riverbanks Zoo on Sunday, April 29, 2012. The zoo's open from 9am to 5pm, but we are meeting for lunch from 11am to 12:30pm at the public picnic area outside the main entrance. Feel free to visit the zoo before or after lunch, but we'll be doing this in smaller self-selected groups rather than one giant group. The public picnic area can be seen in the lower right-hand corner of this map: http://www.riverbanks.org/planvisit/assets/files/parkmap.pdf. For more information about the zoo, please visit their website at www.riverbanks.org. I will be reserving tables so please let me know if you're coming and how many are in your party, so I know how many tables to block off. All the groups across the state have been invited and we did this last year, so it should be a lot of fun! My email is email@example.com for RSVPs and questions. Also, I am the Camp Director for Camp Quest South Carolina and would love to answer any questions you may have while we're there!
Hello everyone. I am an atheist in Anderson, SC looking to start or join meetings in the Anderson/Greenville area. I have been trying to find a way to meet fellow atheists in the area but as you may know that is not an easy task. I have started an atheist website and forum to help achieve this along with finding sites and groups like this. The following is a copy of a facebook post I made to get the word out. I look forward to meeting all of you and talking with you.
I have been thinking a lot lately about how lonely it can be being an atheist in South Carolina. I came to my lack of belief years ago but did not express it until later. Many people choose to be "closet atheists" because the word "atheis...t" makes others cringe because of their lack of understanding, especially in the south. Being an atheist is nothing to be ashamed of. Atheists are the most misunderstood, hated, and mistrusted minority in America. How can a simple lack of belief in the supernatural lead to such a view of an entire group of people? We are not the monsters we are sometimes portrayed to be.
This is why I have started a website for atheists. My hope is to reach out to atheists in the area and even nationally. I have started a Facebook page called ReasonSC to go along with the site in hopes of meeting other atheists in the upstate of South Carolina. I have also created a Facebook page to partner with the website itself. The name of the website is Damned and Free. The name comes from the ending of an essay I wrote to be considered for an upcoming book "Atheists in America: Narratives from an Invisible Minority" by Melanie Elyse Brewster.
"Some religious people think atheists don't have anything to live for. I personally do. I will live my life for myself and for those I love. I will live my life free of religious dogma, free from religious taboos, free from religious superstition, and free from religious guilt and fear. Some will say that I am damned, and maybe I am, but I am also free." -Joey Barrett
Camp Quest is coming to South Carolina in October, 2011 with a first ever family weekend camp!
Camp Quest is a summer camp with a focus on fun, friends, and freethought, and is aimed at the children from atheist, secular humanist, and other free-thinking families. Campers learn about science, ethics, religion, and critical thinking through games, skits, and other activities. These educational programs are interspersed with traditional camp activities such as swimming, games, arts and crafts, campfires, and more. Camp Quest builds a community for our children and teenagers and provides campers a place to explore their developing worldviews, ask questions, and make friends in an environment supportive of critical thinking and skepticism. At Camp Quest, we encourage campers to think for themselves, be comfortable with who they are, and engage respectfully with people who have different views.
The first week-long summer camp for kids 8-17yo will be NEXT summer, 2012, but we are having a weekend camp for the whole family (as in the youngest baby to the oldest grandparent) October 1-2, 2011. It will be a mini-Camp Quest with something for everyone, and highlights include a parents program led by Dale McGowan. The cost is $50 per person ages 4yo and up, free for children 0-3yo, and includes all food, activities, and lodging. For more information about the weekend camp, please visit http://campquestsc.org/cqsc-weekend-family-camp/.

ANTIOCH — An Antioch jewelry store owner shot and killed an armed robber Friday afternoon and police said a customer was also shot during the heist, police said.
The robbery at the Hardy Nix Jewelry store at 3600 Delta Fair Boulevard shut down a major street as authorities swarmed the surrounding area looking for a second suspect who escaped the store after the 4:27 p.m. robbery.
The female customer who was shot was taken to a hospital with a non-life threatening wound, according to Antioch police Lt. Robin Kelley. The woman "just happened to be in the way" as the robber traded fire with the store owner, according to Antioch police Lt. Don LaDue.
Responding officers found the armed robber who was shot by the store's owner on the ground outside the store's entrance. He was later pronounced dead at the scene. Police did not release his identity immediately.
Police say another suspect involved in the armed robbery ran out of the store eastbound toward a nearby Kaiser Permanente facility. Officers searched the area but did not locate that suspect.
No additional information about the incident was released Friday night.
The store, operated by husband and wife Mark and Leslie Perez, was opened in 1947 by Leslie Perez's father, according to its website.
The store carries traditional jewelry as well as wedding items, collectibles and religious items.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective Eric McManus at 925-779-6940.

WASHINGTON — For the first time in five years, the federal budget deficit will come in under $1 trillion in 2013, congressional budget analysts said Tuesday, Feb. 5, with the gap between taxes and spending falling to $845 billion in the fiscal year that ends in September.
Attributed in large part to tax hikes adopted on Jan. 1 and deep automatic spending cuts set to hit next month, new projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office show the deficit continuing to plummet in 2014 and 2015, and falling to less than 3 percent of the overall economy for much of this decade.
The national debt would stabilize to around 77 percent of the economy after years of rampant borrowing to fight the worst recession since the 1930s, the CBO said. However, deficits will begin climbing as a percentage of the economy by 2019, the CBO said, as an aging population drives spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid higher.
"The CBO outlook makes it clear that, while we still have more work to do, the $2.4 trillion in deficit reduction we enacted over the last two years has moved us closer to stabilizing the debt and responsibly scaling back the deficit," Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a statement. "We need to continue working to cut spending responsibly, protect and strengthen programs like Medicare, and raise revenue by closing tax loopholes that the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations take advantage of."
"Although relative stability in the debt as a share of GDP over the next 10 years would be a welcome development after its sharp upward surge during the past several years, the projected path of the federal budget remains a significant concern," the report says.
The report lists several reasons for additional action to restrain borrowing: First, the debt is "very high by historical standards," larger as a percentage of the economy than at any time in the nation's history except for World War II, which "poses an increased risk of precipitating a fiscal crisis."
Second, CBO projections may understate the trajectory of the nation's indebtedness if lawmakers fail to achieve debt-reduction targets set during the budget battles between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans over the past two years.
If lawmakers delay or cancel automatic spending cuts known as the sequester, for example, the outlook would darken significantly.
Third, the cost of federal health programs — though slowing in recent years — continues to rise rapidly, as does the cost of Social Security.
"Unless laws governing those programs are changed — or the increased spending is accompanied by corresponding reductions in other spending, sufficiently higher tax revenues, or a combination of both" — debt will rise sharply, the report says, after 2023.
While the nation's budget picture has improved somewhat, the CBO said the economic outlook is mixed, with sluggish growth forecast through the rest of this year. The jobless rate, meanwhile, is projected to remain above 7.5 percent through the end of 2014, marking the sixth consecutive year above that level — "the longest such period in the past 70 years."

The process of integration in Germany, much like the rest of Europe, can be a slow one. Today we briefly focus on a botanical immigrant to Berlin – the Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina). The plant was introduced to Europe in the early 17th century. After making its way to Germany, it remained for much of the next two centuries an exotica worthy only of botanical gardens and few other green spaces. (The widespread cultivation of the plant did not begin until the middle of the 20thcentury.) Staghorn Sumac is a deciduous small tree that is native to eastern North America. At home in the swampy regions of the Appalachians Mountains but also in Southeastern Canada, the plant is no stranger to colder climates. Coupled with an ability to sprout easily and grow rapidly even in poor soil, Staghorn Sumac seems to weather Berlin's continental climate quite well. The fruit of the plant forms red clusters of drupes which are found at the end of branches. Native Americans soaked the fruit in water to make a refreshing type of lemonade , a tradition which is carried out today by adventurous outdoorsmen and curious foragers. The fruits' sour properties are reflected in its German common name Essigbaum, which literally translates as "Vinegar Tree."
A large number of Germans have been unknowingly enjoying the dried ground fruits of Tanner's Sumac (Rhus coriaria) for a couple of decades via Middle Eastern and North African spice mixtures (called Za'atar). Next time you order a Döner Kebab, sumac will likely be part of your meal. From a culinary perspective, the integration of sumac is nothing short of a success story.
The deep-hued red fruits of the Sumac remain throughout the year and provide a welcome contrast to the colourless Berlin winters. The specimen identified in our photographs (Rhus typhina) can be found along Bornholmer Strasse between Bergener and Bjoernson Strasse. However, it is on private property so you'll need to ask permission or find another one if you want to make sumac lemonade! The photographs of sumac lemonade featured below were taken a few summers ago in Virginia, where Staghorn Sumac is plentiful and grows freely.

C Tanner Richard [5], 6'0" 182 lbs, Guelph (OHL), Shoots: Left
CSS #41 North American Skater, Red Line Report #43 Overall
2011-2012 Statistics: 43 GP, 13-35-48, +4, 46 PIM
The Lightning get fantastic value in the third round with Swiss second year eligible Tanner Richard.
Pros: Good skater with great acceleration. Soft hands and a great puckhandler and playmaker. Competes hard at both ends of the rink and surprisingly willing to play the physical game, despite his slight frame.
Cons: Nagging injuries limited him to 45 games, and those injuries may be attributed to his lack of strength and size. Second year eligible so a little less time to develop than others in this class.
Red Line Report projected Richard as a versatile top 9 forward who chips in offensively and compared him to Valtteri Filppula [6].

Q: How do I get NESN?
A: NESN is available through cable and satellite providers in NESN's home broadcast territory (all of New England except Fairfield County, CT.). If you live in this territory, call your local television service provider to learn how to get NESN. Much of NESN's programming is also available outside NESN's home broadcast territory through NESN National, the network's national television service.
Q: How do I contact NESN?
A: Please visit our Contact NESN page for more information.
Q: How do I watch NESN on my desktop or mobile phone?
A: NESN subscribers can watch Red Sox and Bruins games live on NESNgo, NESN's live streaming app. For questions about NESNgo, visit our NESNgo FAQ.
Q: How do I get NESN National?
A: NESN National is currently available through DirecTV, Dish Network, Bright House Networks and Time Warner Cable in select service areas. We continue to work with many other cable and telephone providers in hopes that they will pick up NESN National in other areas of the country.
Q: Why are some Red Sox and Bruins-related programs blacked out outside of NESN's broadcast territory?
A: NESN does not have the right to distribute many Red Sox and Bruins-related programs outside of our home broadcast territory due to MLB and NHL broadcast regulations. This includes live game broadcasts, rebroadcasts of Red Sox games, classic Red Sox games and any non-news program which includes a significant amount of game highlights. When one of these programs is airing in NESN's home broadcast territory, NESN National cable subscribers can watch other NESN programs during these times.
Q: How can I get Red Sox and Bruins live game broadcasts outside of NESN's broadcast territory?
A: DirecTV and many digital cable providers offer special out-of-market packages called MLB Extra Innings and NHL Center Ice. These season-long packages include most of the games that are broadcast on NESN. Please note some games may still be subject to blackouts. For more information, contact your television service provider.
Q: Why are some men's basketball games unavailable in my area?
A: NESN is televising over 50 NCAA basketball games with 15 ACC games subject to blackout in Connecticut and outside New England. These blackouts are due to preexisting, multiyear TV contracts that involve regional coverage of ACC games.
Q: Can I purchase tapes of NESN programming?
A: Unfortunately, NESN programming is not available for purchase because NESN does not own the rights to redistribute most of our programming outside of when it is broadcast on our air.
Q: How do I submit an idea for a new show on NESN?
A: In order to submit a program idea for consideration by NESN, you will need to print, sign, and mail the document below as indicated within the document.

Evening classes canceled Feb. 7, 2018. Learn more.
Home | Academics | Our Schools | Conservatory of Performing Arts | Conservatory News & Features
Kiesha Lalama, assistant professor in Point Park's Conservatory of Performing Arts, is one of four choreographers featured in this week's Dynamic Women of Dance at the August Wilson Center for African American Culture.
Dynamic Women of Dance run March 9-10 at 8 p.m. at the August Wilson Center in downtown Pittsburgh.
Lalama's work is called Torque. Other pieces in the concert are choreographed by Sidra Bell (Sidra Bell Dance New York), Camille A. Brown (Camille A. Brown & Dancers) and Kim Bears-Bailey (Philadanco).
All are performed by the August Wilson Center Dance Ensemble, a professional home for many Point Park alumni since its inception including Kaylin Horgan, Kendra Dennard, Nalia Ansari, James Washington, Annalee Traylor and Michael Bagne. The August Wilson Center Dance Ensemble is under the direction of Greer Reed, founding artistic director.
"We were able to take the piece to the next level," said Lalama about her work with the ensemble. "I challenged them and they challenged me, and when you get into a situation like that, magic happens."
Kiesha Lalama has created more than 30 works to date. She conceived and choreographed The Bench, the Conservatory Dance Company'a full-length dance theatre production named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's "Best of Dance" top ten list in 2009 and 2010. Lalama choreographed for the film The Perks of Being a Wallflower and the National High School Musical Theater Awards on Broadway. Lalama has also created works for companies such as Ballet Arkansas, Eisenhower Dance Ensemble, Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago, Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, Jazz Dance World Congress, Missouri Contemporary Ballet, the Youth American Grand Prix and the film Sorority Row.

Arizona State Week: Players Not ReturningPosted by AMurawa on June 11th, 2012
While ASU will return five different players from its 2011-12 rotation, there are four players who saw significant time last year that will not return to the program, none of whom had exhausted their eligibility. This continues a disturbing trend in Tempe, with now 12 different players having transferred out of the program in the last four years. Below, we'll take a look at the four players who have moved on from the program and how big of an impact their loss will have.
- Trent Lockett – The loss of Lockett does by far the most damage to ASU's 2012-13 outlook. Lockett, who graduated in just three years by knocking out 20+ credits in recent semesters, wound up transferring to Marquette in order to be closer to Minnesota where his mom, who is fighting cancer, lives. Lockett was not only the Sun Devils' leading scorer last season, but he also led the team in steals, rebounds per game, and three-point percentage, in addition to chipping in at point guard and being the unquestioned emotional leader for the young team. If Lockett had returned, he would have fit in perfectly on the wing across from Jahii Carson, as well as giving the team a solid secondary ballhandler on the floor at the same time. Instead, he'll be tasked with making guys like Junior Cadougan and Vander Blue better under Buzz Williams. While his loss certainly puts a dent in the Herb Sendek's 2012-13 plans, our thoughts are with him and his family as the go through a difficult time.
- Keala King – King left the ASU program in January after being suspended prior to the team's trip to face the Los Angeles schools, winding up at Long Beach State, where he will be eligible after the fall semester next season. A natural wing, King was asked to fill in at the point guard position in the absence of Carson and the ineffectiveness of Chris Colvin, but he struggled with turnovers and never struck a comfortable balance between creating for himself and distributing to his teammates. While he struggled with some immaturity problems that led to his departure from the program, he was the type of athlete that could have been an impact player as an upperclassman. Instead he just goes down as another coulda-been in Tempe. Read the rest of this entry »
