A family claims Ft. Gaines police officers over stepped their boundaries in reprimanding a
Seventeen year old. Therefore a civil suit will be underway.
"We feel like my son Don was done wrong and I want justice for Don because this is something that he is going to have to deal with for the rest of his life," says Tonjala Jackson.
Tonjala Jackson is the mother of Don Bolden, a seventeen year old senior at Randolph Clay High School. She says that her family is upset after her son was arrested last Saturday; he allegedly attempted to break into the Springfield Baptist Church. Bystanders took this cell phone footage Showing officers arresting Bolden.
"It makes me mad sometimes and then it makes me sad because what he went through, no mother should have to go through this, if your child hasn't done anything wrong and I don't want any other parent to have to go through what he went through and what I'm going through," says Jackson.
Bolden's family says he was dragged outside of the jail, then tased, kicked and punched before being transferred to a bigger jail. However Jackson claims her son had to go to the Miller County hospital after the incident on video. She says he suffered multiple seizures.
"I think that what went on shouldn't of went on. They used too much force I think and we want justice for Don," added his mother.
However, that story differs from Tommy Coleman's. He is the Ft. Gaines City Attorney.
"He was arrested on a charge of criminal trespass. He attempted to escape the police station by breaking through a window what I believe. He went into the street, they attempted to apprehend him again and that's what they did I suspect that's the matter of controversy…So what the police Chief did, we haven't gotten a lawsuit or anything like that but there was a complaint so he contacted the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and asked them to conduct a review and investigation of the entire matter," said Coleman.
Although there are two sides, they both agree the incident should be investigated. However they're hoping and expecting different outcomes.
We reached out to the Fort Gaines police chief to get comments but he was unavailable today.

We feel like AutoWeek must not need to worry about those "embargo"-things, it's like they don't seem to apply to the folks with the once-a-week web updates. Like with the GMT-900 pickups last month and now with these pics of the Honda MDX. Of course what do we know, maybe AutoWeek went to the bathroom when the embargo date flashed across the screen at the Dearborn MDX launch event, but we figure hey, if no one's clamping down on the long lead folks — it must mean anyone can do it, right? Click the jump for the pictures and the link — you know you wanna — all the cool kids are doing it.

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and people everywhere are making plans to celebrate their moms next Sunday—and this is great! But I'm going to be honest with you: A day to celebrate Mom just isn't enough.
Motherhood is hard. Easily the hardest job I've ever had. As much as I love my four kids, being their mom, mommy, mother or personal ATM (and taxi driver) can be exhausting.
That's why I love the fact that Coupons.com is celebrating moms all month long, giving away amazing prizes (something new every week!), wads of cash and lots of great tips and inspiration here on our blog. Stay tuned, this is going to be a wild ride.
Some might ask, really? Do moms really need a whole month?
To that I say, yes! A month-long celebration is nothing. Here are my top 5 reasons that moms everywhere deserve 31 days instead of just 1.
1. Bringing a child into the world takes a good nine months—complete with nausea, stretch marks, fatigue, hormonal fluctuations and, of course, watching your belly stretch in ways you never imagined. The end result is worth it, of course. But it's a nine-month long journey of twists and turns. Please. A month of celebrating that journey is easily deserved.
2. Some of the most selfless people I know are moms who would never ask for a coffee break, a day off, a vacation from motherhood (is there such a thing?), or really anything for themselves. It's high time we paid them back with more than just brunch on Sunday.
3. There is no job description for the role of "mom," and it's stressful trying to make it all up as you go. Just the fact that most moms are improvising along the way—and trying to do the best job they can—is worthy of a month of accolades.
4. Did you ever throw temper tantrums in the grocery store as a toddler? Trash your mom's car with crackers, gummy bears, juice boxes and Skittles? Draw on a wall with a Sharpie? Stain her carpet with a variety of hard-to-get-out substances? Come in past curfew and make her lay in bed awake with worry? 'Nuff said.
5. Motherhood lasts forever. Once you become a mom, you never "un-become" one, unlike other jobs and roles you may take on in a lifetime. I can't imagine a mom who doesn't cherish the fact that she's been given this privilege. But in light of forever, one month is a drop in the bucket.
Now you can celebrate your mom all month long with our #SuperheroMom Giveaway! You could win her a really cool prize or maybe a little extra spending money. You have the chance to win something every day through May as Coupons.com is giving away daily prizes and four grand prizes for Mother's Day. ENTER NOW.

His 11 shutouts are tied for second in team history for most shutouts in a season, and are the most by a Ranger since John Ross Roach posted 13 shutouts in 1928-29. Lundqvist also posted his 30th win of the season on Mar. 18 vs. Montreal to extend his NHL record by recording 30 or more wins in six consecutive seasons to begin his career, and extend his franchise record by posting his sixth straight 30-win season. Lundqvist tied his career-high, making his 21st consecutive appearance (beginning on Feb. 11) earlier tonight at Buffalo. He last appeared in 21 straight games from Dec. 23, 2006 to Feb. 15, 2007.
New York won its 40th game of the season with a 1-0 victory vs. Florida on Mar. 22.

Callahan leads the team with 13 goals and 23 points in 24 games since returning from injury on Feb. 1 vs. Pittsburgh, following a 19-game hiatus due to a broken hand suffered on Dec. 15 at Pittsburgh. Prospal leads the team with 12 assists and ranks second with 17 points in 23 games since he made his season debut on Feb. 3 vs. New Jersey after missing the first 53 games of the season with a knee injury.
Since acquiring defenseman Bryan McCabe on Feb. 26, the Rangers power play has tallied 10 goals in 45 attempts (22.2%) in 14 games. McCabe has registered five power play points (one goal, four assists) over the span.
The Rangers have posted six more wins and seven more points compared to last season through 77 games (35-32-10, 80 points in 2009-10), having tallied 12 more goals (218 this season, 206 last season) while allowing 24 fewer goals against (182 this season, 206 last season). New York has also shown a six-goal improvement while shorthanded compared to 2009-10 (11 this season, five last season).
The Rangers lead the league in hits (2,164), are tied for third in goals against (181), fifth in road wins (23), rank second in players with at least one game-winning goal (18), fourth in blocked shots (1,213), shorthanded goals (11) and shootout wins (eight), and fourth with a plus-37 goal differential.

The new federal stimulus package includes tax incentives for buyers of new motorhomes and motorcycles.
But, according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal, Central Florida dealers have mixed opinions on how much it will help sales.
Under the package, buyers of those types of vehicles, as with those of new cars and pickups, will be able to deduct the sales tax they pay, a benefit designed to get people back into the shopping mode – thereby helping businesses.
At Flagship RV in Clermont, that would mean a savings of about $2,450 on an average RV sale of $40,000. But while area dealers generally like that part of the package, some aren't sure it will make a difference.
"Right now, anything would be a blessing, but I don't think it will have much of an impact until the economy turns around and banks start lending again," said Gary Flagg, president of Flagg Enterprises, which owns Flagship RV where sales are down by 40%. He used to sell 700-plus RVs annually, but that's fallen to 430 units.
As he sees it, the banks are the problem.
"The money is not trickling through the system – we're getting no cooperation from lending institutions," Flagg said, noting he has heard from plenty of potential buyers who simply can't get financing.
Paris McNamara, business manager for Giant Recreation World, is also an enthusiastic backer of the stimulus incentive. She said the combination of the sales tax deduction as well as interest deductions on RVs – because many qualify as second homes – should get more people into the showroom. "We believe it will spur business."
Pete Giarrusso, owner of Pete G's Chopper Design Services, believes the tax deduction could tip the undecided in his favor.
"A lot of people are sitting on the fence, and this could be huge if they can discount the sales tax," he said. "A customer doesn't care where the discount comes from as long as he gets one."
Such an incentive couldn't come at a better time for Giarrusso. Revenue dropped from $1.8 million in 2007 to $1.4 million in 2008, with almost the entire decline attributed to slowing new motorcycle sales.

The people you choose to be with are a strong predictor of what you value and how you live.
As I wrote in the last post, a shift in identity will start you down the path towards a balanced life.
However if everyone around you is bragging about how many events they missed because of work, eventually your hours will start to creep back up. To make the changes last, you'll need a community of people to support you.
First and foremost, if you're in a relationship, you'll want to get on the same page with your partner. Does he/she support people-first values? Most of the time, they'll be thrilled to have you around more. And if you are both on email till midnight together every night, you can start to make the change together. For example, checking email during dinner can be a pernicious habit. But, it is also is a clear behavior that is easy to modify if phone free time together is the priority.
However, if getting a new BMW every year is the most important thing to your partner, they may not support your change in priorities. Mismatched values like this are a red flag for the relationship. Some people work long hours as a way to avoid an unhappy relationship. Could this be you?
And whether or not you're in a relationship, you'll need people outside the family to support your change. One great place to begin is by finding a weekly activity to bring you out of the office. I've known many people who picked up a class or joined a team just as a way to get out of the office. There, they met their future spouse.
If you are at in Tuesday night volleyball league, everyone else there has decided not to work and to spend time on volleyball too. This is a great place to get to know people who don't talk about work all the time.
Finally, be on the lookout for a community opportunity, meaning that if someone invites you to do something, say yes! A mindful approach to develop contacts outside of the workplace will increase your flexibility, and decrease any emotional dependency on the work pseudo-community.
What has your experience been with getting out of the office?

"While not being overly fond of tattoos i always said i would get a tattoo of my kids footprint on my forearm. I got a print that i liked from him at home with paint onto paper and Mick did a trace of it and put it on my arm so it is an exact replica of his footprint. While never having had a tattoo i didnt know what to expect. Mick is great and i couldn't have been happier with the outcome. The whole experience was great, i definitely recommend."

Satellite gradiometry and its instrumentation is an ultra-sensitive detection technique of the space gravitational gradient (i.e. the Hesse tensor of the gravitational potential). Gradeometry will be of great significance in inertial navigation, gravity survey, geodynamics and earthquake prediction research. In this paper, satellite gradiometry formulated as an inverse problem of satellite geodesy is discussed from two mathematical aspects: Firstly, satellite gradiometry is considered as a continuous problem of harmonic downward continuation. The space-borne gravity gradients are assumed to be known continuously over the satellite (orbit) surface. Our purpose is to specify sufficient conditions under which uniqueness and existence can be guaranteed. It is shown that, in a spherical context, uniqueness results are obtainable by decomposition of the Hesse matrix in terms of tensor spherical harmonics. In particular, the gravitational potential is proved to be uniquely determined if second order radial derivatives are prescribed at satellite height. This information leads us to a reformulation of satellite gradiometry as a (Fredholm) pseudodifferential equation of first kind. Secondly, for a numerical realization, we assume the gravitational gradients to be known for a finite number of discrete points. The discrete problem is dealt with classical regularization methods, based on filtering techniques by means of spherical wavelets. A spherical singular integral-like approach to regularization methods is established, regularization wavelets are developed which allow the regularization in form of a multiresolution analysis. Moreover, a combined spherical harmonic and spherical regularization wavelet solution is derived as an appropriate tool in future (global and local) high-presision resolution of the earth" s gravitational potential.
Orthogonal and non-orthogonal multiresolution analysis, scale discrete and exact fully discrete wavelet transform on the sphere (1996)
Based on a new definition of delation a scale discrete version of spherical multiresolution is described, starting from a scale discrete wavelet transform on the sphere. Depending on the type of application, different families of wavelets are chosen. In particular, spherical Shannon wavelets are constructed that form an orthogonal multiresolution analysis. Finally fully discrete wavelet approximation is discussed in case of band-limited wavelets.
In modern approximation methods linear combinations in terms of (space localizing) radial basis functions play an essential role. Areas of application are numerical integration formulas on the uni sphere omega corresponding to prescribed nodes, spherical spline interpolation, and spherical wavelet approximation. the evaluation of such a linear combination is a time consuming task, since a certain number of summations, multiplications and the calculation of scalar products are required. This paper presents a generalization of the panel clustering method in a spherical setup. The economy and efficiency of panel clustering is demonstrated for three fields of interest, namely upward continuation of the earth's gravitational potential, geoid computation by spherical splines and wavelet reconstruction of the gravitational potential.
Many problems arising in (geo)physics and technology can be formulated as compact operator equations of the first kind \(A F = G\). Due to the ill-posedness of the equation a variety of regularization methods are in discussion for an approximate solution, where particular emphasize must be put on balancing the data and the approximation error. In doing so one is interested in optimal parameter choice strategies. In this paper our interest lies in an efficient algorithmic realization of a special class of regularization methods. More precisely, we implement regularization methods based on filtered singular value decomposition as a wavelet analysis. This enables us to perform, e.g., Tikhonov-Philips regularization as multiresolution. In other words, we are able to pass over from one regularized solution to another one by adding or subtracting so-called detail information in terms of wavelets. It is shown that regularization wavelets as proposed here are efficiently applicable to a future problem in satellite geodesy, viz. satellite gravity gradiometry.
Metaharmonic wavelets are introduced for constructing the solution of theHelmholtz equation (reduced wave equation) corresponding to Dirichlet's orNeumann's boundary values on a closed surface approach leading to exactreconstruction formulas is considered in more detail. A scale discrete version ofmultiresolution is described for potential functions metaharmonic outside theclosed surface and satisfying the radiation condition at infinity. Moreover, wediscuss fully discrete wavelet representations of band-limited metaharmonicpotentials. Finally, a decomposition and reconstruction (pyramid) scheme foreconomical numerical implementation is presented for Runge-Walsh waveletapproximation.
Wavelet Approximations on Closed Surfaces and their Application to Boundary-Value Problems of Potential Theory (1998)
Wavelets on closed surfaces in Euclidean space R3 are introduced starting from a scale discrete wavelet transform for potentials harmonic down to a spherical boundary. Essential tools for approximation are integration formulas relating an integral over the sphere to suitable linear combinations of functional values (resp. normal derivatives) on the closed surface under consideration. A scale discrete version of multiresolution is described for potential functions harmonic outside the closed surface and regular at infinity. Furthermore, an exact fully discrete wavelet approximation is developed in case of band-limited wavelets. Finally, the role of wavelets is discussed in three problems, namely (i) the representation of a function on a closed surface from discretely given data, (ii) the (discrete) solution of the exterior Dirichlet problem, and (iii) the (discrete) solution of the exterior Neumann problem.
For the determination of the earth" s gravity field many types of observations are available nowadays, e.g., terrestrial gravimetry, airborne gravimetry, satellite-to-satellite tracking, satellite gradiometry etc. The mathematical connection between these observables on the one hand and gravity field and shape of the earth on the other hand, is called the integrated concept of physical geodesy. In this paper harmonic wavelets are introduced by which the gravitational part of the gravity field can be approximated progressively better and better, reflecting an increasing flow of observations. An integrated concept of physical geodesy in terms of harmonic wavelets is presented. Essential tools for approximation are integration formulas relating an integral over an internal sphere to suitable linear combinations of observation functionals, i.e., linear functionals representing the geodetic observables. A scale discrete version of multiresolution is described for approximating the gravitational potential outside and on the earth" s surface. Furthermore, an exact fully discrete wavelet approximation is developed for the case of band-limited wavelets. A method for combined global outer harmonic and local harmonic wavelet modelling is proposed corresponding to realistic earth" s models. As examples, the role of wavelets is discussed for the classical Stokes problem, the oblique derivative problem, satellite-to-satellite tracking, satellite gravity gradiometry, and combined satellite-to-satellite tracking and gradiometry.
Wavelet transform originated in 1980's for the analysis of seismic signals has seen an explosion of applications in geophysics. However, almost all of the material is based on wavelets over Euclidean spaces. This paper deals with the generalization of the theory and algorithmic aspects of wavelets to a spherical earth's model and geophysically relevant vector fields such as the gravitational, magnetic, elastic field of the earth.A scale discrete wavelet approach is considered on the sphere thereby avoiding any type of tensor-valued 'basis (kernel) function'. The generators of the vector wavelets used for the fast evaluation are assumed to have compact supports. Thus the scale and detail spaces are finite-dimensional. As an important consequence, detail information of the vector field under consideration can be obtained only by a finite number of wavelet coefficients for each scale. Using integration formulas that are exact up to a prescribed polynomial degree, wavelet decomposition and reconstruction are investigated for bandlimited vector fields. A pyramid scheme for the recursive computation of the wavelet coefficients from level to level is described in detail. Finally, data compression is discussed for the EGM96 model of the earth's gravitational field.
The purpose of GPS-satellite-to-satellite tracking (GPS-SST) is to determine the gravitational potential at the earth's surface from measured ranges (geometrical distances) between a low-flying satellite and the high-flying satellites of the Global Posittioning System (GPS). In this paper GPS-satellite-to-satellite tracking is reformulated as the problem of determining the gravitational potential of the earth from given gradients at satellite altitude. Uniqueness and stability of the solution are investigated. The essential tool is to split the gradient field into a normal part (i.e. the first order radial derivative) and a tangential part (i.e. the surface gradient). Uniqueness is proved for polar, circular orbits corresponding to both types of data (first radial derivative and/or surface gradient). In both cases gravity recovery based on satellite-to-satellite tracking turns out to be an exponentially ill-posed problem. As an appropriate solution method regularization in terms of spherical wavelets is proposed based on the knowledge of the singular system. Finally, the extension of this method is generalized to a non-spherical earth and a non-spherical orbital surface based on combined terrestrial and satellite data material.
A General Hilbert Space Approach to Wavelets and Its Application in Geopotential Determination (1999)
A general approach to wavelets is presented within a framework of a separable functional Hilbert space H. Basic tool is the construction of H-product kernels by use of Fourier analysis with respect to an orthonormal basis in H. Scaling function and wavelet are defined in terms of H-product kernels. Wavelets are shown to be 'building blocks' that decorrelate the data. A pyramid scheme provides fast computation. Finally, the determination of the earth's gravitational potential from single and multipole expressions is organized as an example of wavelet approximation in Hilbert space structure.

An interdisciplinary, hands-on approach to learning is fundamental to Waldorf Grade Schools. For example, our second-graders may plant a vegetable garden on a local farm. In third grade, they harvest, prepare, cook and sell their products. In the process, they are introduced to the natural sciences, measurement, time and money. Academic studies come alive through such practical experiences. In all grades the children create their own illustrated books to demonstrate what they learn. These may be filled with the four mathematical processes, fables from a myriad of cultures, workings of clocks and calendars, poetry or diagrams. Students compose descriptions that are both poetic and scientifically accurate. The process of learning is always active and creative, consistently enhanced by art, music and body movement to engage the children's entire being.
The Waldorf Grade School offers a classical education that is richly imbued with the arts. Waldorf education is a carefully structured system, nurturing creativity within the context of intellectual competence and disciplined exploration. Waldorf teachers craft their lessons to work with every learning style; kinesthetic, auditory, and visual, thus enabling every student to shine. Our flexible program meets the needs of individual students as they meld into cooperative class groups, advancing together through expanding realms of information and accomplishment.
Curriculum Overview | Main Lessons
An Extraordinary Liberal Arts Curriculum
This begins with a multicultural literary base, which takes the children through the full sweep of human cultural heritage, as well as the social sciences and geography. The stories and history presented in the curriculum closely parallel the development of human consciousness through the ages, beginning in First grade with the classic fairy tales that symbolize the archetypes of pre-literate, oral cultures, moving through myths and sagas of ancient societies to the stuff of history. Because Waldorf pedagogy recognizes that grade school students engage most deeply when immersed in richly detailed story, teachers prefer primary sources such as literature or journals of the time, and of course their own oral versions of fables, history, scientific experiments or the main lesson for that day. Literature spans every continent and culture and includes the stories of legendary exemplars of humanity; the ancient Hebrew people; Norse, Egyptian and Greek myths; Alexander the Great; Joan of Arc; the Renaissance masters; and world revolutions. Students are immersed in these cultures and thus gain great appreciation for multicultural diversity around the world.
The Natural Sciences
Science begins with nature study, including observation and field experience in the early grades. First, Second, and Third graders develop an intuitive and reverential respect for the earth as they spend time outside throughout the seasons playing, gardening, composting, and simply being in nature. Classes then move to more challenging subjects such as geology, zoology, botany, chemistry, physics, astronomy, ecological literacy, and physiology in grades four through eight. In the upper grades the sciences are taught experientially – that is, the teacher sets up an experiment, calls upon the children to observe carefully, ponder, discuss, and then allows them to discover the underlying conclusion, law, or formula. Through this process, independent critical thinking, sound disciplined judgment, and a respect for the natural world results.
In the early grades arithmetic is taught through a dynamic process engaging the child's imagination and intuition combined with kinesthetic activities and games utilizing rhythmic patterns to explore the four processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The children are introduced to freehand geometry through form drawing. Geometric awareness utilizing visual-spatial intelligence is developed in the art of Eurythmy. In the upper grades the children work with weights and measures, fractions and decimals, and later algebra and geometric constructions. Sixth grade marks a significant transition to mathematics as students move away from the mechanics of manipulating numbers to gaining insights into what is solvable. While work continues with fractions and decimals, students are introduced to business math, geometry with compass and straight edge, and exploration of the golden ratio (phi).
Language Arts
Letters are learned in the same way they originated in the course of human history. Humans perceived, then pictured, and out of the pictures they abstracted signs and symbols. First graders hear stories, draw pictures, and discover the letter in the gesture of the picture. Throughout the grade school, children do much phonetic work in the form of songs, poems, and games in addition to the more traditional speech and drama. This multi-faceted approach helps establish a joyful and living experience of the language. Additionally, texts from world literature provide material for reading as well as a foundation for the study and acquisition of grammar skills.
The Language Arts curriculum moves from the mechanics of learning to read to honing comprehension skills to creative writing. Letters and their sounds emerge from stories so that the "abstract symbol" has context and meaning. Comprehension is exercised through oral retelling of stories as well as by learning to write paragraphs and essays. Students' ability to pay meticulous attention to rich, sequential detail serves them well as they venture off into their own creative writing in the upper grades.
The Arts
Drama, painting, Eurythmy, music, sculpting and modeling, and practical arts and crafts are integrated into the entire academic curriculum including mathematics and the sciences. Music permeates life in a Waldorf School. From the first grade on, children sing and learn to play the pentatonic flute, C flute, and the full range of recorders. From the fourth grade on, every student takes up a stringed instrument and thus, has an orchestral experience. Music instruction is provided for its own sake and the joy it engenders, as well as the strong harmonizing and humanizing force it brings into the student's life.
Other examples include crafts and handwork that are integral to the curriculum from kindergarten through the grades. Children learn knitting and needlework and create many beautiful and useful objects. Coordination, fine motor skills, patience, perseverance, and imagination are schooled through this practical work. The Waldorf method of education, through the arts, awakens imaginative and creative powers, bringing vitality and wholeness to learning.
Foreign Languages
Beginning in the first grade students are introduced to a foreign language. Language lessons are presented orally in the first three grades using games, poems, and songs. Reading, writing, and an understanding of grammar are introduced in the upper grades, always building upon the earlier oral work. Foreign languages give the children insights into and facility with other cultures. Madison Waldorf School offers German and Spanish.
Main Lessons & Main Lesson Books
The Morning Main Lesson
The main lesson, a two-hour period in which the main subject of the day is presented, begins each school day. Students study the language arts, mathematics, history, and the sciences in alternating highly integrated three to six week main lesson blocks. Topics are revisited during the term and core subjects needing constant practice, such as language and math, are also taught regularly in shorter periods. This approach allows for freshness and enthusiasm and a concentrated and in-depth experience as well as providing students time to process and retain what has been learned. Because the students are encouraged to completely immerse themselves in their lesson, their creative forces are fully engaged and intellectual understanding is merged with experience. During the rest of the school day, specialty teachers provide instruction in such areas as music and the arts, foreign languages, handcrafts, and athletics, but it is the class teacher who remains a unifying and harmonizing figure for the students' educational experience.
The Main Lesson Book
Each student creates her or his own main lesson book over the course of the year, which is a particularly powerful tool for integrating the various subjects and internalizing and retaining the learning. Main lesson books are special books with compositions, observations, diagrams, and illustrations. The main lesson books are a way for students to engage personally with each subject and truly take ownership of the educational experience.

The fourth film in the Bourne franchise is happening but it's been confirmed for a while that star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass will not be involved. Instead, the studio is pushing forward with The Bourne Legacy which, despite its title, does not feature the character of Jason Bourne at all.
The Bourne Legacy will follow another new character who has to deal with the results of the events of the Matt Damon trilogy, while Jason Bourne still lives in the background. While everyone can agree we'd rather have Greengrass and Damon back to make a legitimate sequel, at least this studio-motivated idea allows for them to return in the future should Greengrass gain interest.
The main reason Damon isn't back for Legacy is because he has publicly stated on many occasions that he will not make a Bourne movie without Paul. Instead, Tony Gilroy was brought in to write and direct the fourth Bourne installment which will have nothing to do with the story of Eric Lustbader's novel for which they're using the title from.
We don't know much about the history of this new character other than he's an assassin who went through the same training/brainwashing Bourne went through. As for who will play the new covert elite, the latest rumors have James Franco as a candidate for the part.
If it does well, we can guarantee another sequel for the new character or Bourne's, or even a mix of the two where they work together. But again, that depends on Paul Greengrass' return as Matt Damon is very hopeful that he can play Bourne again a few years down the line. In speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Damon spoke honestly of his hopes and the situation.
"I really hope it's going to happen. It's really up to Paul Greengrass, the director. I've always said I won't do it without him and I think it would be a bad idea to do it without Paul."
If the pair should decide to work with Universal Pictures again on Bourne 5, it will have to be a few years into the future as Greengrass has other projects lined up first.
"I think Paul's probably going to do one or two other films that he's got kind of cooking but after that [maybe they would start working on a Bourne film]," he continued. "I think it's kind of the thing where enough time has passed that I think it won't matter if we wait five more years to do it."
Unlike most trilogies of the last decade, Greengrass and Damon actually succeeded in delivering a third installment with Ultimatum that was not only good, but arguably the best of the series. When and if they return, they want to ensure they're coming back to make another solid film for fans of the franchise.
"We just want to make sure if we do it, that we do it right. There's been a lot of pressure for us to do it obviously but that's that moment I think where you got to step back and make sure you're not making a mistake. So when it feels like the right time, I think Paul would be open to doing it."
Paul, Matt, you guys should have made Bourne 4 instead of The Green Zone.

New ideas for a family fun night are not always easy to devise. That is why Sears carries a line of puzzles and games that everyone in the family and every age group will enjoy. Kids love to piece a puzzle together, and it is twice as fun when you get involved, and help solve it. A jigsaw, a brain teaser or a game of wits are just a few of the activities that will teach the kids valuable educational skills that they can translate to the classroom. We have puzzles for every age group from toddler to an adult that will help teach and hone cognitive skills.
Putting puzzle pieces together as a family or playing card games promotes strong family bonds. Puzzle games like Jenga or Rubik's Twist Game Teasers take family puzzles to the next level. The competitive nature of the games allows for a healthy dose of family competition. Brainteaser puzzles keep the fun going as your family works together to find the secret formula that unlocks the mystery.
Family fun night stays interesting by switching the activities every now and then. If your family has four or more members, play in groups to make it more compelling. As one group plays board games, the other team may work on piecing a puzzle together. Time each game so that teams switch between each, one team picking up where the other team left off in order to finish the game or puzzle.
Small children usually can't concentrate for long periods of time on family fun night, especially if you're playing with puzzles that are beyond their cognitive range. Keep boys and girls toys on hand and offer them as a break to your kids. You and the older children can play harder jigsaw puzzles and games during this time to add a high challenge level to the evening. Switching between puzzles for tots and big kid puzzles will help the family interact with one another. If all your children are older and you're up for a superior challenge, try a 1,000 or 5,000 piece puzzle, but be prepared for a project that could take weeks to complete.
Family fun night and play time are the most special times in your child's life. Sears has a huge selection so that you spend less time shopping and more time enjoying each other. Slip into family game mode and enjoy every minute while the kids are still little.

Spring Baby Shower
Pretty Invitations
Spring is a season of new beginnings, and there is no better time for a get-together with friends to honor a family's newest arrival. Artist Julia Azar of Memphis designed the invitation for this event, which established the party's theme, as well as the favors distributed to each guest. Let this serve as inspiration for your own special occasion as Julia shares tips to plan the perfect party.
Keep in mind that invitations set the tone of a party. Sometimes people come to Julia--who creates whimsical watercolor artwork, note cards, personalized stationery, announcements, and invitations--before they even have any idea of what the theme of the event will be. "You can get great ideas by just flipping through invitation books," she says. "Once you've found an invitation that catches your eye, then think, 'How can I personalize this?'" Adding something with dimension, such as dried flowers or ribbon, to a plain card creates a unique look without a lot of effort. You can also cut costs by using mass-produced cards and embellishing them with a personal touch.Left: Mark the occasion with a unique invitation.
Tasteful Decor
Thoughtful Favors
Keep It Simple
So start working on your guest list, it's time to have a party

Formula D went to Las Vegas over the weekend and things got a little crazy for one of the drifters. This is Jim Guthrie in Pro-Am crashing and flipping his Mustang onto its roof.
Guthrie locked his brakes coming into one of the turns and went straight into the tires. He's fine, and he's certainly glad he didn't skimp on his roll cage.
It's still not the most embarrassing crash we've seen in a drift car.

If you've been itching to get your hands on the newest MMO from Snail Games that aims to take a lot of the traditional online RPG elements and turn them on their head, you're in luck because Age of Wushu has officially launched, giving gamers an opportunity to experience a wuxia MMO unlike any other.
The game's main focus is on cultivation points. Players will accumulate points based on their experiences throughout the world of Jianghu. As you gain experience from doing...well, anything, you can turn that experience into something useful. So, for instance, if you're fond of traveling a lot but not grinding on mobs, you can gain experience points by getting to hard-to-reach areas or picturesque mountaintops. The experience you gain from this can then be used to meditate on something useful, like upgrading your vitality or practicing a new move to make it stronger by doing a kata.
Age of Wushu further sets itself apart from other MMOs with its alignment meter. Players are encouraged to interact with other players for better or for worse, and even if you're not much into traveling or fighting, you'll gain lots of experience by chatting it up with other players, teaming with them, building relationships or becoming friends (or enemies). Your social status in the game will reflect how the game world thinks about you and will ultimately determine your place in the game's fictional history.
Last but not least...guilds play a major part in the way Jianghu evolves. As mentioned in the article outlining guild functionality, you can join up or create a guild that empowers the people or oppresses them. You can be a guild that focuses on fighting, protecting, stealing, robbing, serving or kidnapping. You're not bound by the standard laws in most other games (except for maybe APB: Reloaded).
You can join up and start playing Age of Wushu right now. And the best part that I didn't even mention is the actual cultivation of kung-fu. The ability to eventually learn how to fly and defy gravity is an awesome option that adds a whole new layer of complexity to both the traveling and especially the combat. You can learn more by paying a visit to the game's Official Website.

CHARLOTTE � Sometimes it's easier than other times to find robbers.
Police in Charlotte, Gastonia and Fayetteville say they made arrests in several robberies this week by tracking snow prints.
Charlotte police say tracks led them to a pair of suspects in two convenience store robberies Wednesday, in one case where customers and employees were forced to the floor. Police say they followed prints from one of the stores to a residence where they arrested the two men.
Each man has been charged with seven counts of kidnapping, six counts of armed robbery, two counts of conspiracy and one could of larceny of a vehicle.
The same thing happened in Fayetteville. Police say someone took three laptop computers from a business just after midnight Wednesday. Sgt. Manuel DeJesus says officers tracked footprints to a home and arrested a suspect. He was charged with breaking and entering, larceny and possession of stolen goods.
Another suspect was tracked by snow prints in an attempted gasoline station holdup several hours later. He was charged with attempted breaking and entering.
Gastonia police made an arrest in a series of car break-ins by tracking footprints in the snow. The suspect was charged with four counts of larceny from a vehicle and four counts of misdemeanor larceny.

Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa or simply Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (pronounced ) (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator, whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of fin de siècle Paris yielded an oeuvre of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec is known along with Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Gauguin as one of the greatest painters of the Post-Impressionist period. In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house a new record was set when "La blanchisseuse", an early painting of a young laundress, sold for $22.4 million U.S.
Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa was born in Albi, Tarn in the Midi-Pyrénées région of France, the firstborn child of Comte Alphonse and Comtesse Adèle de Toulouse-Lautrec. An aristocratic family (descendants of the Counts of Toulouse and Lautrec and the Viscounts of Montfa, a village and commune of the Tarn department of southern France). A younger brother was also born to the family on 28 August 1867, but died the following year.
The Comte and Comtesse themselves were first cousins, and Henri suffered from a number of congenital health conditions attributed to this tradition of inbreeding, the Toulouse-Lautrecs were feeling the effects of the inbreeding of past generations.

Physicians Who Treat Otitis Media Who Accept Kaiser Permanente Near Chino, CA
Otitis Media
Ear infection (otitis media) usually occurs when the tubes that connect the ears to the throat (Eustachian tubes) become blocked. This happens more frequently in children, due to the small size and shape of their Eustachian tubes. The infection occurs behind the ear drum in the middle or inner ear and can cause fluid or pus to collect.

Barren: The Decline Of African American Land Ownership From 15 To 7 Million Acres
Historically, land ownership has always been critical to the health, wellness, and stability of families.
This is especially important to the African American families that survived slavery. Many of these families amassed significant amounts of farm land in the U.S. and often portions of their property were used to grow food and raise livestock. Even families with a small parcel of land grew vegetables and fruit gardens.
During summer, families celebrated God's blessings and proudly shared the fresh, rich, ripe strawberries, melons, corn, peas, greens, beans, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, and peppers grown by their own hands, on their own land. Families would grow different foods to swap and barter among themselves.
Some farmers operated roadside fruit and vegetable stands where anyone could purchase wholesome freshness at fair prices. It was not uncommon for families to share recipes and tips for cooking. People would wisely preserve their bountiful produce through canning, freezing, and drying procedures; and there would be healthy foods to last through the fall, winter, and spring.
Sadly, many African American families have lost their precious land.
In the 50 years following the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans held over 15 million acres of land. Today, African Americans own less than 7 million acres of land. In 1920, African Americans owned 14% of all farms. Today, African Americans own less than 1% of all farms.
There are many reasons for the rapid decline of African American land ownership including issues related to complex property ownership among heirs including lack of estate planning, tax sales, court-ordered partition sales, inaccessibility to legal counsel, as well as unjust, violent, and legally exploitive land takings.
Many African American families continue to live in the same rural communities where they once owned farms and grew their own food. Ironically, some of these same communities are now large food deserts—geographic areas where residents' access to affordable, healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables is restricted or nonexistent due to the absence of grocery stores within convenient traveling distance.
Today these families are making food choices that are sadly limited by the available options and what they can afford—often cheap unhealthy foods processed with high fat, sugar and salt. Is it possible that living in a food desert is linked to poor health outcomes, especially conditions such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer? Researchers are still working to answer this and other questions; however, it is known that African-Americans are statistically more likely than other populations to live in food deserts, both rural and urban.
Gary Grant, National President of the Black Farmers and Agriculturalist Association, a nonprofit organization created to respond to the issues and concerns of African American farmers in the U.S. and abroad, works diligently to address the continued loss of African American farms.
"We are losing land and wealth that our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents worked, fought, and died to acquire for us," he says. "We owe our ancestral warriors a debt-- We must help ourselves by insuring that the next generation is ready to control the land."
Whether it is acreage, a parcel, or a small plot, it is clear that land continues to be vitally important to the health, future, and sustainability of African American families.

Phew. Busy week last week. Things should be somewhat calmer this week. No large cookouts to plan for or b-day cakes to bake. 😉 It is finally getting warmer, though, so there is much to do in the flower beds to get ready to plant after Mother's Day. I can't wait to get all of my fresh veggie plants in the ground. I know I am planning on tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and peppers. I need to see if there is anything else I want to include. Maybe some berries of some sort.
Onto the plan:
Sunday ~ Leftovers incorporated into dinner. I sauteed up veggies from the veggie tray (mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli and I tossed in some spinach) in some EVOO & balsamic vinegar. I chopped up some grilled chix and tossed it into the pan and then tossed in some cooked buckwheat from the other night. YUM! I finished with Sriracha Hot Sauce. I served salad along side.
Monday ~ Spaghetti (most likely Quinoa pasta) & meatballs (Aaron's specialty), broccoli, salad & some kind of bread (maybe Chebe with garlic butter or maybe just toasted rolls with garlic butter)
Tuesday~ Hannah and I will fend for ourselves. Maybe some quick burgers, sweet potato fries & veggies. Maybe some leftover spaghetti.
Wednesday ~ BBQ pulled pork, Roasted Rosemary Potatoes, Steamed green beans & salad (kids eat fruit salad as opposed to garden)
Thursday ~ I am meeting friends at Outback! YAY! Gluten-free Mac & Cheese, baked beans , veggies & fruit for the kids & Aaron.
Friday ~ Homemade pizza (veggie for moi), veggies & salad
Saturday ~ Burgers, potatoes & salad for the fam; Honey baked lentils and roasted carrots & salad for me.
Baked Goods for the Week

This is what a CEO looks like
H&M Foundation reveals "Foundation 500" – an all-female list of 500 business leaders.
You probably know of Fortune Magazine's famous Fortune 500 list. But who makes that list, and why? In a powerful effort to change the narrative, H&M Foundation launches its Foundation 500 list today. By presenting power portraits and stories of female entrepreneurs from emerging markets in the same manner business magazines usually portray male business leaders, the non-profit H&M Foundation and humanitarian agency CARE want to challenge stereotypes and re-define what a CEO looks like.
"The entrepreneur is the hero of our time, and it is estimated that over the coming years over 1 billion women will enter the workforce – a majority through entrepreneurship. But, you can't be what you can't see. Women rarely make the covers of business magazines, in fact the last time a woman was on the cover of Fortune Magazine was October 2014," says Diana Amini, Global Manager at H&M Foundation.
H&M Foundation and CARE aim to inspire women all over the world, and to share the message that empowering women is one of the most effective ways to break the cycle of poverty and create economic growth.
You can't be what you can't see. Women rarely make the covers of business magazines
"Born with zero privileges, the women portrayed in the Foundation 500 list have made their own fortunes in the harshest of startup environments. Yet, their stories often go untold. I wish I had seen women like these on the cover of business magazines when I grew up in South Sudan," said Alek Wek, British/Sudanese Supermodel, Entrepreneur and H&M Foundation Ambassador.
The Foundation 500 list includes the owner of West Ivory Coast's first bus company, a CEO from Indonesia growing her business by the means of Facebook and the President of a Peruvian Trout Farmers Association. Learn more and explore their stories on foundation500.com.
Karl-Johan Persson, board member of H&M Foundation and H&M CEO, said that the non-profit H&M Foundation pledges 120 million Swedish krona ($14 million/€12 million) during 2014-2020 to support over 200,000 women entrepreneurs from emerging markets with seed capital and skills training to start and expand their businesses.
"If the world is to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals on Women's Empowerment and Gender Equality, the time to act is now."

I have no idea whether the Dolphins will be able to defend their AFC East title in 2009. But defend themselves on and off the field?
No doubt.
The Dolphins this offseason are working with two martial arts consultants who basically are helping certain players with striking at opponents so as to escape blocks while keeping their feet active. Among Miami's karate kids are Jason Taylor, Joey Porter, Matt Roth and some receivers.
I assume offensive linemen wanting to perfect an unorthodox type of chop block might be helped also. (Hey, if you want really funny stuff go to a comedy club.)
Twice a week, Jared Tomich and Michael Storms fly to South Florida and work with players who have volunteered for their lessons. Neither man is considered a full-time member of the coaching staff but they are being paid as consultant types through the remainder of the offseason.
Tomich played at Nebraska and spent time with the New Orleans Saints. That's where he met current Miami strength and conditioning coach Evan Marcus and Storms, who is a full-fledged walking weapon as an eighth-degree black belt.
The story was first reported earlier today by the Munster Times in Northwest Indiana. I have confirmed the pair are consultants and not actually part of the coaching staff, as the story says. The pair are expected to work with players up until training camp, although that may lead to other opportunities if players request more help and the offseason work show results on the field.
"We have different drills for every position -- teaching running backs how to take on linemen, teaching linebackers how to shed offensive linemen, teaching DBs and wide receivers how to knock their guys' hands down and get around them," Tomich, who is a second-degree black belt in Okinawan karate, told nwi.com.
"It wasn't martial arts for the sake of martial arts when I started. I was trying to do something to improve my game and it helped me tremendously. Miami's players have taken our program and implemented what we do into their everyday practices, which has been a huge testament to us. Not only are they doing the stuff when we're there, but when we're not there. The coaches think that much of it."
This is not the first time an NFL team uses a martial arts consultant nor the first time the Dolphins think outside the box in bringing people aboard with a non-football expertise to help their players. The San Francisco 49ers used a martial arts coach for years to help their pass-rushers and well as their receivers, who use the techniques to fight off press coverage.
The Dolphins had a yoga coach in 2007. (I'm thinking that didn't work out so good.)
"We work on their hand quickness and teach 'em some pretty good drills that change how they think about using their hands on the football field," Tomich said. "When I've got guys like Jason Taylor and Joey Porter jumping up and excited to learn the stuff, then I know that I'm doing the right thing.
"It's mainly hand placement, teaching escapes and teaching hand efficiency while being able to use their feet at the same time. A lot of times, you see players, especially linemen, come off the ball, and the first thing they do is grab each other and nobody goes anywhere."
That's not what the Dolphins want. And perhaps using martial arts can help prevent that from happening.
Discuss ... After you check out the video of a well-known martial arts hero.

A Manhattan pub co-owner who is about to become an American citizen was horrified after an American flag he hung outside his business was burned just after the Fourth of July.
John Doherty, an Irish native who co-owns the Playwright Irish Pub on 35th Street, will soon take the oath of citizenship, and he showed his pride by hanging an American flag outside his bar. On a recent early morning, a man set the flag on fire.
"This is my country now, so for this guy to do this -- there's no words," said Doherty.
Surveillance video shows the arsonist stopping at one point to apparently admire his work while taking a smoke break. The video also shows pedestrians walking by without stopping.
"Nobody did nothing about it, to my amazement," said Doherty.
The fire not only torched the flag but damaged part of the pub awning. It threatened to spread to the building when workers grabbed a water hose to battle the flames.
Doherty handed over all 18 minutes of the surveillance video to detectives, and on Tuesday, police announced they had arrested Jeffery Schorfheide, a 26-year-old man from Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
He has been charged with reckless endangerment, hate crime, criminal mischief and arson. He is being held on $3,000 bail until his next court date in mid-July.
Schorfheide's attorney with Legal Aid had no comment.
"I think he's a dangerous person. He obviously doesn't care who he could have hurt or what could have happened," said Kimberly Kolbert, the manager at Playwright. "He should be held accountable for his actions."
Doherty didn't let the flag-burning stop him from showing off his patriotism. He pinned two new flags where the other once burned, and even got a special present from the country he loves: after hearing his story, immigration officials called him Tuesday to tell him they would be presenting a flag to him at the swearing-in ceremony.
"I love this country more than anybody, and I'm proud to be a citizen here in a few weeks," he said.

JERUSALEM, April 8 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed Monday "there will never again be another Holocaust."
Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, legislators and foreign dignitaries gathered at the Knesset for a ceremony marking Holocaust Remembrance Day, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Speakers read off the names of family members who died during the Holocaust.
Jews seek peace but "there are those who seek to extinguish this light of ours," Netanyahu said.
"There will never again be another Holocaust," he said.
Peres said he would never forget what was done to his family.
"They were sent to a wooden synagogue and murdered with gunshots and fire," he said.
Israelis paused to stand in silence for 2 minutes as a siren sounded on the day of remembrance, the Post reported. Drivers on the country's highways pulled over and got out of their cars.

The full Bonneville Power Administration sustainability report is available here.
An excerpt:
Waste Management Shows Improvement
BPA has contracted with Portland State University's Community Environmental Services for the past two years to complete yearly waste material assessments. Landfill diversion rate climbed from just below 50 percent to over 70 percent. Last year BPA diverted over 2,582 tons of materials from the landfill, cut its landfill-bound garbage volume by 30 percent and composted 35 tons of materials.
"Kick the Can" Lets Employees Make a Choice
A concern identified by the waste audit was the number of nearly empty deskside trash liners. Dan Krauss, Supervisory Buildings Management Specialist, joined with Employee Communications and the Sustainability Team to begin the "Kick the Can" campaign to encourage employees to surrender desk-side garbage cans and commit to using the recycle, compost and landfill bins. In return, employees received magnets for their cubes. Displaying a "Kick the Can" magnet shows commitment to sustainability and tells custodians that desk-side trash pickup is not needed at that workstation.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index retreated from a five-year high as disappointing US housing numbers failed to offer confidence.
In afternoon trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.06 per cent, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.42 per cent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.55 per cent. The S&P 500 yesterday closed at 1,530.94 the highest in five years and within 35 points of its all-time record high.
"The market seems very tired and listless, and investors are prone to take profits now as they wait for the music to stop," Matt McCormick, money manager at Bahl & Gaynor in Cincinnati, told Reuters.
Economic reports released today provided a mixed picture.
Total housing starts fell to an 890,000 rate last month, which was lower than forecast, even as builders broke ground on 613,000 houses at an annualised rate in January, the most since July 2008.
The data follows yesterday's surprise slide in US home builder confidence this month.
Separately, the producer-price index rose 0.2 per cent in January, after declining 0.3 per cent in December.
Minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's January meeting are due later today.
Minutes from the Bank of England's most recent meeting, released earlier today, helped bolster the FTSE 100 index up 0.3 per cent as they showed a growing bias towards expanding stimulus measures.
Governor Mervyn King was among the three members of the nine-member committee who voted in favour of boosting the central bank's current asset purchase program by 25 billion pounds to 400 billion pounds.
"A case could ... be made for undertaking additional asset purchases at this meeting," according to the minutes of the meeting held on February 6 and 7. "[T]he degree of slack in the economy, and the likely positive response of supply capacity to increased demand, meant that higher output growth would not necessarily lead to any material additional inflationary pressure."
Europe's Stoxx 600 Index ended the day with a 0.3 per cent drop from the previous close. In Germany, the DAX weakened 0.3 per cent and in France, the CAC 40 lost 0.7 per cent.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended the value of the euro. The common currency, last trading at US$1.3375, has strengthened more than 10 per cent in the past seven months.
"We have to say that euro exchange rates between US$1.30 and US$1.40 are part of the normality of the history of the euro," she told an event marking 50 years of the German government's council of economic advisers, according to Bloomberg.
All is not well across Europe though. EU member Cyprus is at risk of defaulting, Standard & Poor's today warned, an event that could renew sovereign debt risks. And in Greece, thousands of workers took to the streets to protest yet again against the government's continuing austerity measures.
