Athens, GA (AP) - Gerald Robinson Jr. scored 21 points and
Georgia overcame poor free-throw shooting to edge Colorado 83-74 on
Tuesday night.
Georgia won despite making only 27 of 43 free throws and blowing
a first-half lead of 17 points.
Georgia led only 72-70 when Robinson scored on a layup to push
the lead to four points with 1:32 remaining. After a turnover by
Colorado, Dustin Ware made two free throws for a 76-70 lead.
Travis Leslie had 19 points before fouling out for Georgia
(2-0). Jeremy Price had 17.
Georgia continues to play without Trey Thompkins, the team's
leading scorer and rebounder last season who is recovering from a
high ankle sprain.
Alec Burks had 23 points for Colorado (1-1), which suffered its
first loss under first-year coach Tad Boyle. Cory Higgins added 15

Milwaukee Rep's soaring 'Ragtime' makes sweet music
Less than 10 minutes into the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's spectacular production of "Ragtime" — the crown jewel thus far in director Mark Clements' Rep tenure — it's already apparent that the next three hours of theater will be special.
Those opening moments — in which this musical's huge cast of characters make their introductions, and during which we get a rough sketch of the melting-pot story to come — can be turgid, confusing or both. »Read Full Article(4)

Thanks for such a useful plugin.
I was working on project where I felt I should apply some styles to icon and I felt like wrapping it inside span like you have for text is good way to achieve it, so it will be good if you wrap the icon like
if ($before) {
$newtext = ' ' . $text . '';
} else {
$newtext = '' . $text . ' ';
won't hurt and will also allow people like me to use it they way we want.

Aamir-Amitabh heading for BO clash!
Aamir Khan, who is not aware of the clash, has reacted diplomatically by saying that two good films co-exist. "There is always room for two good films. They can co-exist. Remember Dil and Ghayal were released on the same day? Again Lagaan and Gadar hit screens together. So it's not new for me," he signed off, the Times of India quoted the actor as saying.
On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan, who is returning to his trademark avatar of an angry man, is yet to start the promotional activities. Meanwhile, the trailer of the film, which was released recently has grabbed the attention of the audience.

NBA Games
Denver Nuggets at Portland Trail Blazers
Denver is in good shape for a playoff spot right now, but have lost four of their last five. Portland is practically in a free-fall having lost seven straight, and eight of their last 10. The Nuggets are one of the best offensive teams in the league, and will use that against the poor defense that Portland plays. Even though this one is in Portland, the Nuggets should be able to walk out with a win.

Former East Stroudsburg South and East Stroudsburg University punter Ken Parrish was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles today.
Parrish was signed by the Eagles after they cut free-agent rookie punter Sam Swank out of Wake Forest after the fifth day of six days of workouts for rookies and selected veterans.
Parrish was signed as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 2007, but did not make the team out of training camp.
An All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East first-team pick as a junior and senior at ESU, Parrish averaged 40.3 yards per punt and landed 59 of his 174 punts inside the 20-yard line during his four-year college career.
Parrish, who averaged 42.0 yards per punt as a senior, 43.2 yards per punt as a junior, 40.7 yards per punt as a sophomore and 36.7 yards per punt as a freshman, is also tied for second in ESU history with a long punt of 75 yards.
Parrish was also an All-Mountain Valley Conference first-team pick in his senior year, his lone year playing high school football.

Leipzig, 23 June, 2016. Turkish journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül will be awarded the 2016 Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media, sponsored by the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation. "This year's list of nominees included many journalists and media organisations that make great and honest efforts to defend freedom of speech in their home countries or even in a cross-border context," explains Stephan Seeger, Managing Director of the Media Foundation. "With the joint award for Can Dündar and Erdem Gül we honour two journalists who represent many of their colleagues in Turkey and elsewhere: They pursue their journalistic profession in an independent and unbiased manner – despite politically motivated persecution, threats of imprisonment or dangers to life and limb. The fact that four Turkish journalists (Ahmed Altan, Nedim Şener, Can Dündar and Erdem Gül) have been awarded our prize in recent years, is a sign of the state of press freedom in Turkey," Seeger continues. The award is worth 30,000 euros and will be bestowed in two equal halves to both journalists. Can Dündar and Erdem Gül intend to accept the prize and will receive it at the award ceremony on 7 October 2016 in Leipzig (unless they are prevented from taking part in the ceremony). Read more …

The European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (founded in 2015) receives more funding from EU Commission
Leipzig, 10 Mai, 2016. This year's May, the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom, decisively initiated and developed by the Media Foundation of Sparkasse Leipzig, celebrates its first anniversary. With the foundation of the ECPMF, press and media freedom in Europe has got a strong voice based in Leipzig. Core objective of the Centre is to link European initiatives and actors on media freedom and to assist in the coordination of their activities in order to jointly strengthen the freedom of press in Europe. "The Centre's strength lies in the pan-European network and in the cooperation of highly qualified partners", says Stephan Seeger, Managing Director of Media Foundation and member of the Board of ECPMF. Read more …
Whoever wants to support and sponsor the development of a free media has to consider more than the mere economic and employment-oriented aspects. A media centre becomes especially important and attractive when it represents a climate where the media's great responsibility towards society is recognized as a duty as well as a challenge.
The Media Foundation of Sparkasse Leipzig public savings bank wants to contribute to this climate. One of its key commitments is the fostering of training and further education possibilities for young people in the media field. This involves scholarships (e.g. through the Leipzig Media Award), targeted project support, and the organization of civic education events, such as for the commemoration of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989 in Leipzig.
The Foundation projects are financed by the Foundation itself as well as third party contributions and donations.
Every year, the Foundation awards its "Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media". In addition, the Foundation awards the "Axel Eggebrecht Prize", the "Günter Eich Prize" and the "Golden Dove" (former "Talent Dove").Diese Seite ausdrucken
The Media Foundation of Sparkasse Leipzig is particularly committed to education and training in the media sector. Therefore, the Foundation cooperates closely with local universities and other educational institutions and founded institutes, launched initiatives and projects and created the necessary infrastructure for media-related activities. The respective core institutions are:

Press release 23 June, 2016: Sparkasse Media Foundation awards 2016 "Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media" to Turkish journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül
Leipzig, 23 June, 2016. Turkish journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül will be awarded the 2016 Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media, sponsored by the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation. "This year's list of nominees included many journalists and media organisations that make great and honest efforts to defend freedom of speech in their home countries or even in a cross-border context," explains Stephan Seeger, Managing Director of the Media Foundation. "With the joint award for Can Dündar and Erdem Gül we honour two journalists who represent many of their colleagues in Turkey and elsewhere: They pursue their journalistic profession in an independent and unbiased manner – despite politically motivated persecution, threats of imprisonment or dangers to life and limb. The fact that four Turkish journalists (Ahmed Altan, Nedim Şener, Can Dündar and Erdem Gül) have been awarded our prize in recent years, is a sign of the state of press freedom in Turkey," Seeger continues. The award is worth 30,000 euros and will be bestowed in two equal halves to both journalists. Can Dündar and Erdem Gül intend to accept the prize and will receive it at the award ceremony on 7 October 2016 in Leipzig (unless they are prevented from taking part in the ceremony).
Justifying the fact that this year's laureates will also be from Turkey following the bestowals of recent years, Seeger says: "The jury's decision shows that the threat to press freedom in Turkey is regarded as an intrinsic feature of the political system, which suppresses the pluralistic formation of opinion, in turn endangering the work and lives of journalists. Can Dündar and Erdem Gül, two outstanding and renowned journalists, have been living with these threats for years, most recently as chief editor and Ankara correspondent of Cumhuriyet newspaper respectively." The jury is deeply worried by this development in a country which is such an important partner for Europe.
The European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) confirms the jury's view in general and also its specific decision regarding Dündar and Gül. At the beginning of the trial in Istanbul, Michelle Trimborn was present as a representative of the Centre to meet the journalists personally and to support the fight for their rights. The ECPMF actively supports them and other threatened journalists in Turkey. Dündar and Gül became targets of the state due to a report they had published together on alleged Turkish arms supplies to extremists in Syria. The reaction to their work was not a public investigation of the press reports but instead the legal prosecution of the journalists and charges of espionage and aiding terrorists, backed by President Erdogan as joint plaintiff. Their – as yet not legally valid – sentence of May 2016 raises reasonable doubt as to the Turkish judicial authorities' willingness to defend the freedom of the press. The award for Can Dündar and Erdem Gül is therefore also a sign of solidarity with them, their families and all the journalists who are suffering from state repressions in Turkey today.
About the laureates
Can Dündar, born in Ankara (Turkey) in 1961, studied journalism at the Faculty of Political Science of Ankara University (until 1982) and at the London School of Journalism (until 1986), received his master's degree in 1988 and his PhD in Political Science from the Technical University of the Near East in Ankara in 1996. After that he worked for several newspapers and TV stations, including the public TRT from 1988 as well as for private channels such as CNN Türk and NTV. He worked as a columnist for the newspaper Milliyet for many years, where he was fired with immediate effect in 2013, probably due to critical columns on the protests in connection with Istanbul's Gezi Park. Then he worked for Cumhurriyet and became editor-in-chief of the newspaper in early 2015. In May 2014 he published material on alleged entanglements of the Turkish state in the Syrian civil war together with the head of the newspaper's Ankara office, Erdem Gül.
Erdem Gül, born in the Turkish city of Giresun in 1967, studied journalism at the Gazi University in Ankara. In 1992 he began his professional career at the Turkish news agency Anka. In 2010 he became Cumhurriyet's parliamentary correspondent, and since 2013 he was head of the newspaper's Ankara office. In the Cumhurriyet trial concerning the reporting of a secret Turkish military transport operation to Syria, Erdem Gül was the main defendant. He was sentenced to five years in prison. This sentence is not yet legally valid either.
Both journalists were arrested in November 2015. However, the Constitutional Court of Turkey declared the provisional custody as unlawful in February 2016. The trial began on 25 March, 2016, with the accusation of knowingly and intentionally aiding an armed terror organisation and espionage of state secrets. While Dündar was awaiting sentencing on 6 May, 2016, he was attacked and shot. Dündar was sentenced to five years and ten months in prison for publishing state secrets, while Gül was sentenced to five years. Neither sentence is yet legally valid.
About the award
Each year since 2001, the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation has awarded the "Prize for the Freedom and the Future of the Media" in order to honour journalists, publishers, and institutions that have demonstrated great personal commitment to ensuring the freedom and the future of the media. The award is also intended to commemorate the Peaceful Revolution in Leipzig on 9 October 1989, during which protesters demanded "free press for a free country".
The Peaceful Revolution in the former GDR began in 1989 in Leipzig. People gathered together to pray at St. Nicholas Church, then protested in the streets by tens of thousands. The courageous citizens of this city effectively defied state authority, demanding – not least of all – freedom of expression and the press. Much like the Media Foundation of Sparkasse Leipzig with all of its sponsorship activities, the "Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media", first awarded in 2001, stands in the tradition of the Peaceful Revolution.
The Leipzig Media Prize is expressly not about a bold and daring feat of journalism or an exceptional piece of journalistic work. The prize is intended for distinguished journalists, publishers and media institutions from around the world that are committed to the cause of protecting and expanding freedom of the press, and in doing so display a willingness to take risks, great personal commitment, persistence, courage and a firm belief in democracy. The list of prizewinners from the last years clearly demonstrates what the prize is about.
Ruling elites in many countries around the world use dubious media laws, pressure on journalists and publishers, paternalism in radio and television, and state censorship as instruments of power. But also processes of economic concentration and self-censorship endanger the plurality of expression and are an obstacle to independent reporting. Journalists themselves bow to the dictates of shareholders and compromise their credibility by publishing too quickly.
The previous prizewinners resisted these threats and temptations.
It is the aim of the Leipzig Media Foundation to embolden the spirits of them and others.

It was at the Leipzig Media Congress, held by the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation in October of 2010 on the 10th anniversary of the creation of its Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media, that Hans-Ulrich Jörges, Co-Editor of STERN magazine and Editor in Chief for Special Affairs of Gruner + Jahr, introduced the idea of creating a European Centre for the Freedom of the Press to the public for the first time. In 2009, Jörges had already initiated the European Charter on Freedom of the Press, signed by 48 editors in chief and other influential journalists from 19 countries. The next step, creating a Centre for Freedom of the Press, was a means of putting this charter into practice.
Leipzig was the heart of the Peaceful Revolution in Eastern Germany where, in the fall of 1989, tens of thousands of GDR citizens protested state power and made many demands, among them the demand for freedom of the media. Now Leipzig seems to be the perfect place to continue, with its Media Foundation that has already promoted freedom of the press for years. The Media Foundation builds on the spirit of that autumn in 1989, and has funded the Prize for the Freedom and Future of the Media since 2001.
Immediately after the 2010 Media Congress, we began working on a concept to serve as the basis for a search for new project supporters. Our tasks included identifying the legal entity that would guarantee the centre the maximum degree of independence and manoeuvrability. The board was eventually able to find a partner with expertise in EU law who was prepared to work with the project pro bono until its official foundation. This partner was the law firm CMS Hasche Sigle. They found the European Cooperative Society (SCE) model to be the most suitable legal form for the project, and set about creating draft statutes based on the Centre's intended goals.
The European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF for short) seeks to provide those who defend the freedom of the press and the media in Europe with a voice that will be heard. The Centre's core tasks are to bring European media freedom initiatives and actors together under one roof and to coordinate their activities. Thanks both to its diverse member base from all across Europe and its team in Leipzig, the ECPMF is able to document instances in which the freedom of the press has been violated and journalists persecuted, and to inform both the public and those with the power to make political decisions of relevant ongoing conflict and imminent danger in Europe.
One important step was winning the support of EU institutions in order to establish the project as a European initiative. Hans-Ulrich Jörges; Christoph Keese, Senior Vice President for Investor Relations and Public Affairs at Axel Springer SE; and Stephan Seeger, Managing Director of the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation found an extraordinary advocate in Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament. In discussions with other members of the Parliament, including Vice President Alexander Graf Lambsdorff and Elmar Brok, Head of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, we were able to form an alliance of supporters spanning all political parties. Finally, in its consultations, the Parliament approved a budget of one million euros to found the Centre.
On the condition that the project would receive EU funding, the Free State of Saxony and the City of Leipzig also declared their willingness to provide financial support. With the additional financial commitment of the Sparkasse Media Foundation, all of the necessary steps could be taken. Ultimately, we were able to create a detailed project plan that would allow us to submit an application to the European Commission and to seek the support of European journalistic organizations, institutions, and associations that promote issues concerning the freedom of the press. To do so, further expert input was needed.
We searched for a suitable project manager and found Dr Lutz Mükke. He was already familiar with the foundation, having been its first Ph.D. scholarship fellow. Dr Mükke began a rewarding search for project partners across Europe. At the same time, our attention was focused on developing a detailed draft concept. In addition to the Free State of Saxony, the City of Leipzig, and the Media Foundation, we also gained the support of the Federal Foreign Ministry. In October 2013 we were able to submit the application to the European Commission on time.
Sadly, to the great disappointment of everyone involved, including the members of the European Parliament themselves, the European Commission did not select the 2013 application. Instead of funding a single Centre, they decided to support several projects and organizations. Nevertheless, following the Board's recommendation and explicitly encouraged by both the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, and the other supporting members of the Parliament, the Media Foundation Council decided to stick to the plan and submit a new application in 2014. There was a new call for project participants and we restructured the concept before submitting it in a new application to the Commission.
In March 2015, we finally received the message from the European Commission in Brussels saying that the Media Foundation had won the bid and had been selected as leading partner, together with partners from three other European countries, to form the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom. The other partners were Journalismfund.eu from Belgium; the Institute for European Media Law from Germany; Ossigeno per l'Informazione and Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso, both from Italy; and the South East Europe Media Organization, or SEEMO, from Austria.
The founding assembly of this European Cooperative Society (SCE) and the election of the members of the Board and Supervisory Board took place in Leipzig on 24 June, 2015.
The list of founding members includes representatives from more than 20 European journalistic organizations, media companies, and trade unions, as well as media experts and lawyers from all over Europe. The legal entity of the European Cooperative Society guarantees the Centre's validity in all 28 EU member states and a maximum degree of independence from government institutions. At the same time, it enables the direct participation of affiliated organizations and initiatives in the Centre's work. This cooperation can be seen in many places, including in the bodies of the ECPMF. Both the Board and the Supervisory Board count a number of representatives from important European freedom of the press initiatives among their members. The Centre's operations are coordinated in Leipzig at the Media Campus Villa Ida, the seat of the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation.
After having played such a decisive role in developing, planning, promoting, and financing this project, the Sparkasse Leipzig Media Foundation has now decided to pursue its inclusion in the register of cooperative societies and attain full legal capacity to act, thus becoming a completely independent and autonomous institution. The foundation will always support the ECPMF to the best of its ability. The foundation would like to thank CMS Hasche Sigle law firm, BDO auditing company, certified public accountant and tax consultant Hartwig Künckeler, and German Cooperative Union in Frankfurt for having offered their expertise and generous support.

With just two days until the U.S. Senate special election, and with polls giving his Dem-ocratic opponent the edge, Republican candidate Gab riel E. Gomez yesterday was undaunted, saying he's faced tougher odds and emerged a winner.
"I remember in Hell Week, when I was a (Navy) SEAL," Gomez told the Herald at a barbecue on the shores of Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield yesterday. "It was Wednesday, and they'd thrown everything at us during Hell Week, and we still had 2 1⁄2 days left.

- Finishing the film with titles, color correction, and professional audio
Skill Level Intermediate
When all finishing stages of the post-production process are complete, you're going to need to reassemble your finished elements in a new master sequence. Then you've got to deliver the sequence to the specifications needed. And really, these delivery requirements are so important to the post-production process, so most good editors find this information out early as it can certainly influence your entire workflow. Now, delivery requirements run the gamut, depending on who you're delivering the product for and what they're going to do with it. You might need to deliver a high-resolution file.
If this is the case, you need to research the format and codec information that the file needs to be delivered at. Or you might need to deliver a master tape. Again, you'll need to research format and codec information, as well as tape stock requirements, as well as leader requisites, like your bars and tone and slate and countdown. Or you might have to prepare your project for a full online edit. This is where you deliver the Avid project folder, along with the Avid media files folder for someone else to perform an online edit.
And again, you'll need to do all necessary research for how you should deliver these project elements. So just a little explanation about this process, when you're working with low-res files, you're essentially doing the offline edit, making all of the decisions about how the sequence will be edited. When you've reached picture lock, the low-res files will either need to be relinked to already existing high-res files, or the sequence will need to be decomposed and then recaptured or re-imported at a higher resolution. If this is the case, then you would need to wait on the color correction phase until this was done, then the high-res files would be color corrected and then ready for delivery.
Now, it's impossible to go through all of these various scenarios for final delivery, but I'll just take you on a very high level set of options that you may be presented with. Ultimately however, it's up to you to do that technical research upfront to see how the product should be delivered. All right, so here I am in Media Composer, I have my final sequence, it has its final audio mix, as well its color corrected video, I'm ready to deliver. Now, I cover both exporting files and printing to tape in my Media Composer Essentials course. If you'd like a step-by-step process of delivering a product using one of these methods, please check out that course.
So just very quickly however, if I want to export a file, I would right-click on my sequence and choose Export, and then if I wanted to export, for example, a QuickTime movie, I would select that under Export settings. And then under Options I would match up these options to my delivery requirements. A lot of times you choose Custom, Format Options, and then under Video Settings you choose the codec that you need to deliver at, and there are other options as well. We won't go through all of this, there's lots of things to choose, but ultimately you need to make sure that it matches your deliver requirements. And again, if you need that step-by-step process just check out the Essentials course.
If I wanted to deliver a master tape, I would do that through the Digital Cut tool, which is in my Output menu. And again, this process is laid out step-by-step in that Essentials course. As you can see, I don't have a deck connected, so I can't go through this process. But as you can see, there are a lot of options that you need to choose in order to optimize your Digital Cut experience. Now, that last method I mentioned is something that I haven't covered in another course, and that's preparing a sequence for an online edit. Let me just briefly show you the files you'll probably be asked to deliver for an online edit.
On my drive here I have my Avid Projects folder. And again, this is the project where all of my bins are contained, and inside those bins are all of the clips and all of the sequences that define the decisions that I've made in putting together this documentary. So I'll definitely need to deliver my Project folder. I'll also want to deliver my Avid MediaFiles folder. In this case it's the low-res version of the files that I have been editing, and I want to deliver that so that the online editor can make sure that the online edit visually matches the offline edit.
So at the very least I need to deliver Avid MediaFiles as well as Avid Projects, and then any other files that I use that they don't have, I also want to provide those as well, like Images and Titles and Effects and all of that sort of thing. Back in Media Composer I want to take a look at a couple of things. Now, when the online editor gets your project he or she will do one of a couple of things. May relink your low-res files to the original high-res files, which they have. So if I right-click on this sequence and choose Relink, this Relink dialog box is often used to attach offline media to existing online media.
However, if you take a look down here at Video Parameters, Relink to, I can choose HD video format and Relink method, Highest Quality, so basically as long as my media files exist in an HD or higher quality format, I'm able to relink my low-res version to that high-res version, and it's as easy as that. Now, if no high-resolution files exist, you wouldn't do this, okay. In that case, the online editor would need to recapture or re-import those at this stage.
To do this the online editor will decompose the sequence, which actually sounds a lot worse than it is. Basically all a decompose does is break down the parts of the sequence that you edited, so not everything has to be recaptured or re-imported at a high-resolution just the elements you actually used in the sequence. So here I would just right-click and say Decompose. And I want both Captured and Imported clips to be decomposed. I can choose a Handle Length, so if I did want any flexibility in being able to trim these later I can choose 2-second Handle Length.
I am just going to put 0 here. And you can Create a New Sequence here as well. And I'd want to make sure that Offline media only is unchecked, because our sequence isn't offline so we want to make sure to decompose all of it. So I'll say OK and OK, the new sequence will be reeling to the new decomposed clips. And as you can see, here, I have got Final Delivery, which is currently loaded, and this is online.
And this one, Decomposed, this is offline, media offline. This is now linked to all of these clips, so I am just going to open up my Decomposed Bin, and I am going to click and then Shift-click to get everything in there, move it over, so I have my master sequence here, and my Decomposed sequence. So here you can see, here is all of the clips that I used in my sequence. Anything that I did not use in my sequence is not here.
And these are all video clips, my audio is going to remain my professionally mixed audio. So this is just recapturing my video. And again, I would do that at the higher resolution. Again, this isn't a process I am going to go through step-by-step, but I did want to show you how to effectively recapture or re-import your video via a Decompose. Also just so you know, this was more of a high-level logistical demonstration, because as I said before, I wouldn't have color corrected the sequence before performing the online edit, that would come after I up-rest.
So don't get confused by the fact that I left the color correction effects on the sequence in this example, I just wanted to show you how to decompose. So whatever your delivery method, you need to make sure that you do your research early so you're not surprised later. Even if you're not delivering the product for anyone else, and it's just for your own purposes, it's important to know where you're going, so the journey in getting there is relatively free from technical surprises.

How to Quit Smoking
In order to quit smoking, you need to re-learn your life without cigarettes. It won't happen overnight, but if you take some time before you stop smoking to prepare for what you'll be facing on quit day and beyond, you'll be that much closer to becoming an ex-smoker. There are three main things you'll need to re-learn in order to quit smoking successfully. As the videos below will show, you need to re-learn habit, re-learn addiction and re-learn support. All three are important.
Re-learn Habit
When you smoke, there are lots of things you do just because that's what you always do. Like reaching for a cigarette when you pour a cup of coffee in the morning or get in your car. In order to quit, you need to re-learn how to do all of these things without a cigarette. In this section, we'll help you do that by picking apart your smoking habit into little pieces you can tackle one by one. Once you begin, you'll start to look at quitting smoking not as one huge war, but as a series of small battles you can actually see yourself winning. Listen to ex-smoker Tonya explain.
Re-learn Addiction
Believe it or not, the nicotine in your cigarettes actually changes the chemistry of your brain. Once your brain gets used to nicotine, it begins to crave it and makes you miserable when it doesn't get it. That's why it can be so hard to "just quit." In this section, we'll talk about how you can beat those cravings and DOUBLE your chances of success. Listen to ex-smoker Ethan explain.
Re-learn SupportSome people like to keep quiet about the fact that they're trying to quit smoking. That way if they aren't able to do it, no one will have to know. That's true, but having the support of friends and family can increase the chances that you WILL be able to do it. In this section, we'll tell you how to get support from people, even the ones who don't want to give it. And if you don't have anyone around you to give support, the EX Community can provide the quit smoking support that you need. Listen to ex-smoker Jason explain.
Nicotine is a chemical in tobacco, and it's what makes smokers addicted to cigarettes. In fact, nicotine is just as addictive as many of the hard drugs. When you inhale smoke from a cigarette, nicotine can reach the brain in less than 10 seconds. Once there, nicotine changes the chemistry of the brain over time.
Inhaling a drug is the fastest way to get it to your brain. It's like a lot of nicotine really fast. Right after you put out that cigarette, the nicotine level in your blood starts to drop. After a while, your brain and body send out signals of withdrawal, so you light another one. With addiction, you start to think that smoking's making you feel better when it's really just keeping you from feeling bad.
Relearning the whole idea of addiction can help you understand why using medication is important. It can double your chances of success.

Gov. Snyder Makes Appointment to Fill High Court Vacancy
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has appointed Joan Larsen, University of Michigan special counsel to the dean for student and graduate activities, to a vacancy on the state Supreme Court.
Larsen once clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. She was deputy assistant attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel under President George W. Bush from January 2002 to May 2003, according to a Detroit Free Press article.
It was Snyder's third appointment to the high court, and his first appointment of a woman to that court. She was named to fill a vacancy created by the recent resignation of Justice Mary Beth Kelly.Comments are off for this post
Op-ed calls on Michigan to Reform Judicial Selection
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Mary Beth Kelly is returning to private practice less than five years after being elected to the Court. Jack Lessenberry, Michigan Radio's political analyst, expressed concern over such resignations in a recent op-ed:
Comments are off for this post
"To me, there's something odd about that. Barring health or family reasons, I would think elected officials ought to feel an obligation to finish the term they asked the voters to give them. But resignations from the state's highest court are fairly common, and what this means is that the governor will get to name a replacement for the third time in five years."
Justice Kelly of Michigan Supreme Court to Step Down
Justice Mary Beth Kelly, elected to the Michigan Supreme Court in 2010, has announced she will leave the bench Oct. 1 to return to private practice, according to The Detroit News.
Gov. Rick Snyder will appoint someone to fill the vacancy created by her retirement. Of a total of seven justices, the court currently has five justices who were elected after nomination by the GOP.
In November of 2016, voters will select a justice to serve out the remainder of Kelly's term.Comments are off for this post
Michigan Supreme Court Throws Out Mandatory Minimums
The Michigan Supreme Court restructured criminal sentencing this week in a landmark 5-2 ruling, Michigan Live reports.
The opinion, written by Justice Bridget Mary McCormack, says that "mandatory minimum sentencing violates the Sixth Amendment" when it increases sentencing beyond that contained in a jury verdict. The article explains that the case upheld a lower court sentence, but ruled that a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision "rendered parts of Michigan's sentencing guidelines unconstitutional" because they infringe on the right to a trial by jury.Comments are off for this post
Report Spotlights High Spending, 'Dark Money' in MI Court Elections
Total spending in the race for three seats on the Michigan Supreme Court in 2014 reached $10.4 million, including $4.66 million in "dark money" sponsored TV ads supporting the Republican nominees, the Michigan Campaign Finance Network said in a report on Wednesday.
The report documented heavy dark money expenditures in state Supreme Court campaigns since 2000, and it said "The undisclosed spending is a direct threat to impartial justice." When big political donors are anonymous, it said, "We can't know when ethical, even legal, lines have been crossed. Transparency is inoculation against corruption. Dark money conceals corruption." The report also examined campaigns for other offices, including state attorney general.
MCFN relied on semi-annual reports by Justice at Stake and partner groups in stating that Michigan saw the most expensive Supreme Court elections in 2010 and 2012, and it predicted that Michigan would hold the same rank when a report is completed on 2014. In tracing dark money in elections for seats on the Michigan high court, it said: Read moreComments are off for this post
Blind Justice at MLK Celebration: 'Celebrate our Differences'
Diversity and fellowship were themes at events across the Detroit Metro area on Monday, as hundreds gathered to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Detroit News reports that Justice Richard Bernstein gave the keynote address to the Macomb County Ministerial Alliance's Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Fellowship Breakfast.
"Let us celebrate our differences, let us celebrate our difficulties, let us celebrate our purpose," he said. Bernstein, Michigan's first blind Supreme Court Justice, spoke of adversity he has experienced, such as competing in the 2008 Ironman Triathlon and recovering from injuries after being hit by a bicyclist in 2012. He remarked that his faith, like that of King, helped him achieve success against the odds.Comments are off for this post
Editorials Scrutinize Big Spending in Judicial Elections
Citing Missouri billionaire Rex Sinquefield's $300,000 donation to a Washington, D.C. group that tried to defeat a local Missouri judge, a St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial asks Sinquefield for more transparency and less deceit.
In an editorial styled as a letter to Sinquefield, the editorial board asks, "Could you please instruct your vast army of political operatives to stop being deceitful about how they spend your money?" It acknowledges that on some issues it agrees philosophically with the activist donor, but "When you — or the people who work for you — secretly funnel money into Washington, D.C., political action committees to hide the source of the funds, it looks really sneaky and underhanded."
The letter refers to money Sinquefield gave to the Republican State Leadership Committee and its spending that amount and more to defeat Cole County Circuit Judge Pat Joyce, who ultimately won reelection in November (see Gavel Grab). It says "your spokespeople wouldn't fess up. Neither would the RSLC." Read moreComments are off for this post
Justice McCormack Calls MI Court 'Collegial and High-Functioning'
Justice Bridget Mary McCormack of the Michigan Supreme Court says that despite perceptions of an elected court riven by ideology, the bench is quite "collegial and high-functioning."
Justice McCormack gave an interview to Michigan Radio. She said the justices pay a price given a public perception that impartial decision-making is influenced by extensive undisclosed spending on judicial elections.
"I can tell you from my personal experience in the back room, it's not how we work," said Justice McCormack, who was elected in 2012. She also said partisanship does not drive the justices' decision-making. Read moreComments are off for this post
Judges Behaving Badly Are Disciplined in Michigan
A spate of high profile scandals involving sitting elected judges has resulted in cracking down by the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission. A Detroit Free Press article examines the misconduct and invites readers to reach their own conclusions.
"I think you can make the point that this is a troubled judiciary," said Charles Gardner Geyh, a professor of law at Indiana University. "But there is a counterpoint to be made. Michigan is doing a fairly aggressive job of rooting out misconduct."
The article recounts a rather sensational side to the scandals:
Comments are off for this post
"They lied, stole, forged bank documents, padded expense accounts, drove drunk, slept with litigants and jailed innocent people. Michigan judges have been in big trouble in recent years. The number of judges disciplined — about 35 per year — has not gone up, but the level of chicanery has soared."
JAS Partner Spotlights 'Dark Money' in MI Judicial Election
The Michigan Campaign Finance Network, a Justice at Stake partner organization, says unreported, unregulated "dark money" bankrolled the majority of costs for TV advertising in Michigan's 2014 Supreme Court and attorney general campaigns.
The Michigan Republican Party spent $4.2 million on ads about Supreme Court candidates "but reported no television advertising to the Michigan Bureau of Elections" due to a loophole in state law, MCFN said in a news release. It said the Center for Individual Freedom, a Virginia-based 501(c)(4) "social welfare" corporation, spent $468,000 for broadcast advertising supportive of the Republican nominees and the advertising was not reported to the Bureau of Elections.

In preparation for the 2015 release of Halo 5 Guardians, Microsoft will be rereleasing all four numbered Halo titles, enhanced for the Xbox One console, as Halo: The Master Chief Collection. In this cinematic trailer that debuted at E3 2014, players are told "Your Journey Begins" after an explosive sequence in space, made even more dramatic by a mysterious and ominous voiceover about finding someone–presumably Master Chief–by "forgetting the legend and stories," and doing more than "following in his footsteps." The narration concludes with, "All our lives are at stake." Heavy stuff.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is scheduled to be released sometime this fall.

Analysis: Form and Meter
Rhymed Lines in Iambic Pentameter
The poem is two uneven stanzas, one that consists of sixteen lines and one of eight lines. It's written in a regular, measured pattern called iambic pentameter. This means each line has five ("penta") metrical feet (two syllables to a foot, so ten syllables in all), which are iambic (one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable). Iambic pentameter is a really common meter in English-language poetry. It sounds like this: ba-DUM ba-DUM ba-DUM ba-DUM ba-DUM. Here's an example of what it looks like in "Blackberry-Picking," with the stressed syllables in bold and italics:
At first, | just one, | a gloss|y pur|ple clot.
Got that?
Though it's written in regular iambic pentameter, there are a few variations. All the lines are ten syllables, but the iambic pattern bends a bit sometimes. This is all right, though (well within the formal rules). These variations from the iambic foot include:
- The trochee: a metrical foot in which the first syllable is stressed, and the second is unstressed, like "night-ly." It makes the sound DUM-da. This makes it the opposite of the iamb, which, as you'll recall, has one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one (da-DUM).
- The anapest: two soft syllables (where, if you were reading them out loud, you wouldn't put a lot of emphasis on them) followed by one strong syllable (the syllable where you would put stress). It makes the sound da-da-DUM. So an anapest foot, say at the beginning of a line, looks like this: "In the dark." Even though there are three syllables, the first two are so soft that the poet decides to count them as this special thing called an anapest, and can keep the iambic pentameter going.
- The dactyl: one strong syllable followed by two soft syllables (DUM-da-da), all considered part of the same foot. A dactyl looks like this: "mark-ed-ly."
- The spondee: two hard syllables in the same foot, like "tin foil."
- The pyrrhic: two unstressed/soft syllables in the same foot. This one is less common, but might be something like, "it is" at the end or beginning of an iambic line.
The lines are also rhymed. Just as an FYI, Heaney is a master at formal verse – poetry that makes use of meter, rhyme, or any of the fixed forms, like the sonnet. This usually seems effortless, though, so the reader is never bugged by forced rhymes or awkward rhythm. He's super smooth.
The rhyme in "Blackberry-Picking" is pretty slick. It's AABBCCDDEEFF and so on and so forth until the end of the poem. So the first line ends with "sun," which rhymes with the end word of the second line, "ripen" (just pronounce it "ripe-un"). The third line ends with "clot" which rhymes with the end word of the fourth line, "knot." The pattern continues throughout the entire poem.
The reason we're not annoyed by the rhyme is because most of the rhymes are half or slant rhymes. Half rhymes are just what they sound like: words with usually a consonant sound in common, but nothing else. They're words that sound an awful lot alike, but not such perfect matches as "cat" and "hat." Heaney has some lovely half rhymes, like "drills" with "full," and "byre" with "fur."

I did not vote for the BB option design for the Orange County Government Center (OCGC). I always thought it went too far in defacing the building. The two Democrats on the ad hoc building committee weren't even aware that the rib face block was being removed in its entirety. Seems that the secret meeting had secrets being kept from some on the committee. And this at a cost of several million dollars to the taxpayers of Orange County. The reason given?
There might be mold inside the concrete walls. Are you kidding me?
The other reason I voted against this option was the obscene price tag. I thought a renovation project should cost no more than $300 a square foot, including everything. That would have put it at around $45 million for a straightforward renovation that would have provided a safe, comfortable, energy efficient and ADA compliant environment for workers and clients. The fact that the BB option ended up at $74 million and over $400 per square foot is something that everyone should be concerned about. Why? Because there are no buildings anywhere that I can find that cost that much money. Generating a budget number at $400 per square foot and claiming success when it comes in 5 percent under that number can only be described as a scam and a waste of tax dollars.
I will continue to fight to reduce the cost of this project to something more in line with industry standards. I will also fight to preserve the building along the guidelines outlined by the agencies with oversight on historic buildings.
I would support transferring the Government Center to a new entity with a preservationist at the helm and designing a new building. The new building would have a much smaller footprint since the ratio of new for usable space is much more generous than the Government Center would have been. It would only have to be 140,000 total gross square footage to equal the same usable net produced in the BB option. And at $300 per square foot, it would cost the taxpayers of Orange County $42 million - a savings of $32 million over the BB option.
But I don't give this commonsense approach much chance of garnering support. Common sense is not a popular thing these days around here. And by the way, it would require a two-thirds vote to transfer the Orange County Government Center.

Whatever you do, do not use Deer Valley Mini & Storage. Their units are not protected from rain. I put my furniture in a unit just 3 weeks ago and it rained once. When I went to check on it there was water damage to my wood furniture, puddles of rusyy yellow water on my boxes and cartons, and the floor pad that I put down was soaking wet.
When I brought it to the attention of the owner, he said that it's not his fault that the roof leaked - it happens and he refused to do anything to help. All I asked was for him to get someone that can pull everything out, clean it off, and put it into a unit that is secure from this happening again. He refused, saying "I take no responsibility." Definately not a savy business man.
So there you have it. Be warned that the owner of this company does not stand behind his facility; apparently not confident that it is water proof. [continued below]....

Update at 3:55 p.m.: The Amber Alert has been discontinued. Ruby Zavala has been found, and Jesus Ramirez is in custody, Mount Pleasant police said.
Update at 7:20 a.m. May 6: Mount Pleasant, state and now federal officials believe Ruby Zavala is "in grave or immediate danger," according to the latest Amber Alert update concerning the missing 14-year-old.
KXAS-Channel 5 is reporting this morning that authorities believe her alleged kidnapper, 23-year-old Jesus Ramirez, is "obsessed" with the teen. The station also says the truck he was believed to have been driving was found in a wooded area just outside the East Texas town off Interstate 30. But police found little to no useful information inside.
According to KXAS, Ramirez initially kidnapped Ruby, her mother and her sister from a Mount Pleasant church at knife point Sunday, shortly before 1 p.m. The truck recovered early this morning belonged to Ruby's mother, who was released some time Sunday, along with the sister.
Mount Pleasant Police Chief Wayne Isbell told KXAS that it's possible Ruby and Ramirez dated in the past, without her parent's knowledge, but that he poses a significant threat to the girl: "The suspect has already previously been charged with sexual assault of a child before," Isbell told KXAS. "We have reason to believe he may be mentally unstable and suicidal."
Original entry: State authorities have issued an Amber Alert for a 14-year-old girl who was last seen at 2 p.m. Sunday in Mt. Pleasant.
Authorities believe Ruby Zavala is with Jesus Ramirez, 22. Ramirez is 5-feet-9-inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds. Zavala is 5-feet tall and weighs about 120 pounds. Both have black hair and brown eyes.
There is no car description.
Mt. Pleasant is about a two-hour drive east of Dallas.
Anyone with information is asked to call Mt. Pleasant police at 903-575-4004.
