The Prairie Heights varsity baseball team brought out the heavy lumber Saturday in sweeping a doubleheader from visiting Elkhart Christian.
In the first game, the Panthers racked up a dozen hits, scoring five runs in the third and six more in the fourth en route to an 11-0 pasting of the Eagles. Joey Barry drove in four runs with a home run and a single, while Corey Johnson plated three with a double and a single.
Jacob Heller, Matt Handshoe and Bobby Blum all had two hits for the Panthers, with one of Heller's rips going for a triple and one of Handshoe's resulting in a double.
Winning pitcher Bo Murphy allowed three hits and struckout five in four innings. Kris O'Connor tossed the final frame.
The nightcap saw the Panthers and Eagles combine for 30 runs, 26 hits and nine errors. When the dust had settled, Heights emerged with a 20-10 triumph.
Barry and Heller each left the yard for the Panthers and finished with four and three RBI, respectively. Johnson and Handshoe delivered three hits and two runs, Spencer Hess plated three with a double and a single, Quinten Bland socked a triple and Spencer High poked an RBI single.
Heller went all five innings on the mound, giving up 10 hits, striking out four and walking two.
The sweep lifted the Panther season record to 6-3.

THE universe is full of holes. Black holes.
Well, they're not really holes – it's a bit of a misleading name, to be honest. Black holes are not holes as we understand the term – they're not filled with nothing. In fact, they're anything but empty.
A black hole is what we call it when a huge amount of matter has been packed tight into a small space. Think of it as three of our suns, all squeezed together into a space small enough to fit a city in. A bit squashed, truth be told.
All that dense matter produces a gravitational field so strong that it draws everything close towards it and nothing can escape – not even light. Hence the darkness. But black holes don't 'suck' like a vacuum cleaner (they are not vacuums) – instead, things fall into them.
We can't see a black hole with any of our telescopes, but we know they are there because we can see their effect on other things – such as when they pull apart stars. They are immensely powerful, and there are billions of them in the universe, probably millions in our own Milky Way.
As far as we understand it, a black hole is formed when a massive star dies. Small stars don't produce enough mass to create one. When the star burns up the last of its fuel, it collapses in on itself. When it pulls in matter from outside itself, such as dust and other stars, it becomes even bigger.
Sometimes, when matter is drawn into a black hole, it hits what is known as the event horizon – the boundary at the edge of the black hole – and is sent back outwards like a ricochet, creating huge jets of material which we can see with our telescopes.
So what would happen to you if you fell into a black hole? Well, I think it's a safe bet to say you'd be dead long before you got there, but for argument's sake let's imagine it. One theory is you would be stretched into a string-like being; another that you would burn up in fire. Let's just say we've not got close enough yet to find out.
Black holes can be any size – scientists think the smallest ones are as small as one atom, but with the mass of a mountain. Imagine that – you could have dozens in your pocket! The biggest, called supermassive black holes, could be as big as 20 of our suns.
But don't worry, black holes don't travel around the universe, so there won't be one approaching earth any time soon. And our own sun is too small to create one, so we're OK there, too. Phew!

text: He can't recall a time when he had stayed in one place longer than a year until he met Kim. Kim, a jewelry designer whose warmth, beauty and creativity captivates many, fell in love with this international man- a native to France who has spent his life on the move in such countries as Niger, Côte d'Ivoire and finally St. Martin, where he met Kim. Shortly after that they started a life together in New York City and decided to tie the knot with a small city hall ceremony, after which they rented a limo with family and friends and traveled all over the city in style jumping out here and there to capture shots of these two before sunset. Though they wanted a simple day, it was full of meaningful touches. Kim designed all their jewelry including both rings and her headband, and with her vintage-style dress and shoes the look came together perfectly. The delight they find in each other just beams through in every image.

Shane Cameron has been offered $250,000 to step into the ring with David Tua again.
Tua retired from boxing following his loss to Monte Barrett in August last year but is now planning a comeback and his promoter, David Higgins, says Cameron is first in line to fight the former world heavyweight contender.
The last time the two met in the ring – in October 2009 – Tua knocked Cameron out in the second round, in what was billed as the "Fight of the Century".
"I personally won't waste much time chasing Shane Cameron," Higgins told Fairfax.
"But I think he [Cameron] is on record as saying he wouldn't mind another shot at Tua. Well I can confirm that David would take the fight in an instant if Shane is serious about wanting another opportunity."
Cameron's manager Ken Reinsfield said he had not been approached directly about the offer and called it "bizarre" to hear about it through the media.
"I am not interested in making comment on an offer brought through the media", he said.
Cameron has fought seven times since losing to Tua, winning six of the bouts.

Pepper arrested on suspicion of assaulting man outside store
April 17, 2014 at 11:02 p.m.
Updated April 17, 2014 at 11:18 p.m.
A 52-year-old Victoria man is fighting for his life after being attacked Thursday morning near a convenience store.
Lupe Sandoval was leaving Stripes Convenience Store, 1302 E. Rio Grande St., at 4:20 a.m. when he was struck in the back of the head and severely beaten while unconscious, his family said.
Marlin Adams, 59, known more throughout Victoria as "Pepper," was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault, causing serious bodily injury and obstruction or retaliation, both felonies, and is being held at the Victoria County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
Because Sandoval is in a coma, his family remains in the dark about details of the attack and struggles to understand how someone they know well may be responsible.
"We know him - we all know Pepper," Rose Sandoval said. "I don't know what set him off to attack my brother, but it's scary; he just walks around Victoria, and you never know what he is capable of."
The attack Thursday morning isn't a first for Adams. According to court records, he's been arrested and convicted previously for assault causing bodily injury, aggravated assault of a police officer and unlawfully carrying a weapon.
The criminal complaint regarding Thursday's attack states Adams also made threatening comments to the arresting officer, stating he was "coming to get me when he got out of jail," the officer wrote in the report.
Victoria Police Department officials are investigating the assault and were unable to comment Thursday.
Sandoval was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston and has a fractured skull. He is unable to breathe on his own, his sister said.
The family requests prayers from the community.
"Don't be fooled," Rose Sandoval said. "You never know what he (Pepper) is capable of - this is a wake-up call."

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global talc market report. This market research report also lists eight other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
According to the research analysis, the global talc market has a limited number of vendors who are engaged in manufacturing different grades of talc suitable for a wide variety of end-user industries. The talc market also exhibits high entry level barriers as it is an investment-intensive business. Moreover, the presence of many similar products targeted at the same customers makes the market very competitive. Therefore, to lure the end-users to buy their products and to enhance their market position, key vendors need to invest in business strategies aimed at product development, product differentiation, and strategic pricing.
"The key vendors need to focus on developing inorganic and organic growth strategies to strengthen their position in the market, improve their distribution channels, and increase their penetration into different geographical regions," says Chandrakumar Badala Jaganathan, a lead metals and minerals analyst from Technavio.

A hard charger from the so-called "greatest generation" Robert Savage joined up in the waning days of 1942, ready to fight the good fight. A survivor of Omaha Beach and an infantry commander renowned for his skill, Savage was listed KIA after a German science facility he and his squad attacked exploded.
In 1995 a documentary crew doing a special on the "super-science" of the Third Reich stumbled upon the cryogenically preserved body of Savage. After being restored, and acclimated to the changes time had brought, Savage was remanded to the custody of the G.I. Joe team for observation. Within a year however, Savage left the team, his "Screaming Eagles" in tow, and now operates as second-in-command of Special Counter-Terrorism Unit Delta.
Hasbro Comics continuity
Savage, along with the other Screaming Eagles, appear in the Sgt. Savage vs. Gen. Blitz mini-comics packed with select toys. In the comic, the Eagles defend a nuclear facility from the I.R.O.N. Army, drawing the enemy into a trap by hiding under the dirt of their bunker before attacking and driving back General Blitz's forces.
On each figure's card-back were short comics, akin to newspaper comic strips. In one, Savage sabotages a u-boat. Another, set in 1944 Europe, details Savage and four other soldiers charging out of a foxhole. A third gives a slightly different version (from the cartoon) of how he was awakened after fifty years. The strips on the back of the toys containing the battle bunkers and mini-comics (as well as others) show scenes of the same battle included in the mini-comics.
Dark Horse Comics continuity
Devil's Due Publishing continuity
America's Elite
While serving in the reserves, Savage was called upon to fight in Algeria during the conflict now known as World War III.
Vs. The Transformers III: The Art of War
In a Matrix-induced vision of the future, Hawk saw Iron Klaw and Trypticon battling Sgt. Savage and Fortress Maximus.
Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles
The only episode of Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles to be released begins with a news reel from 1944 surmising how Sgt. Robert Steven Savage, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, is MIA and presumed dead along with his entire platoon after being sent to raid a German scientific facility. Fifty years later, when the facility is discovered, it turns out that Savage was captured, experimented upon, and cryogenically frozen. The hero's frozen body is given to the Joes for further research.
A scientist called Dr. Garret Stromm tells the Joes that their security detail for a new super advanced space platform which is about to be deployed, is unnecessary. According to Savage, the raid in which his platoon died was sabotaged by a traitor. Savage identifies the scientist as Garrison "Blitz" Krieger, the traitor himself.
Savage is told he was a guinea pig for certain experiments and now has increased reflexes and super strength. These new found "powers", as well as his whole physical condition, wanes from time to time, so Doc gives Savage a DNA compound to stabilize his condition and prevent him from aging rapidly.
Savage takes command of a team of six highly trained, undisciplined soldier, now calling themselves the "Screaming Eagles". The Screaming Eagles attack the launch in an effort to stop Blitz, his plans, and his new, completely robotic I.R.O.N. Army.
GI Joe Extreme
Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles
Seven figures of Sgt. Savage were released as part of the Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles toyline, including one 12" figure. One came with the Old Soldiers Never Die episode on VHS, another came with the first half of the Sgt. Savage vs. Gen. Blitz mini-comic, a third was packaged with the P-40 Warhawk, and a fourth came with the cryo chamber he was found in.
There were plans to make an Air Force Sgt. Savage and a Frogman Sgt. Savage, but these never made it past the prototype stage.[1] However the Air Force version may have become the version included with the Warhawk.
GI Joe Extreme
Savage received two action figures as part of the Extreme line. One included a large hand-held gun and small catapult. The other was included as the operator for the Detonator cannon.
A third figure was planned as part of an urban defense four-pack, but went unreleased.[2]
- The u-boat sabotaged by Savage can be identified by the markings on it's conning tower as U-7. That u-boat did sink during World War II, however the official cause is listed as a malfunction during a diving maneuver.[3]
- If Savage did sink the U-7, the otherwise unnamed captain would then be Günther Loeschcke.
- If Savage did sink the U-7, that would mean he was in Lithuania on February 18, 1944.
- Savage's assignment to North Africa during WWIII could be a reference to Operation Torch, due to his roots in WWII.
- According to one of his filecards, Savage had served in the Sahara before.[4]
- Savage's appearance in The Art of War is based on his GI Joe Extreme appearance.
- Considering the P-40 Warhawk has Flying Tiger markings and Savage "joined up in the waning days of 1942," that would mean he started flying as part of the 23rd Fighter Groupin China.
- According to secret messages included on packages from the Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles toyline, Savage's favorite foods are hamburgers, french fries, cola, and ice cream. His favorite past times are baseball, basketball, and catching up on the past 50 years of military history.
- In a journal entry on one of Dynamite's file cards,[5] Savage infers he helped destroy the "guns at Navarrone" [sic] and could have used Dynamite in that action. This is a reference to the novel and film The Guns of Navarone, a completely fictional adaptation of the Battle of Leros, which took place in September 1943.
- In a journal entry on one of General Blitz's file cards, Savage makes reference to the 1944 "attack on Anzio."[6] It is unclear if Savage served in Operation Shingle, or if he is just making a cultural reference.

I received word from Siena today that the men's basketball roster is now complete and updated with new heights and weights. These, I'm told, were recorded Tuesday night by Siena's strength and conditioning coach.
In other words, yes, someone really measured Ronald Moore at 6 feet.
Here is the roster:
21 James Carr SO C 6-9.5 250 Bronx, N.Y./Wings Academy
0 Chris De la Rosa FR G 5-9 165 Bronx, N.Y./All Hallows
12 Josh Duell JR F 6-7 259 Scotia, N.Y./Christian Bros. Academy
4 Tay Fisher SR G 5-9 162 Kingston, N.Y./Kingston
42 Alex Franklin SO F 6-5 228 Reading, Pa./Central Catholic
1 Darius Haddix SO G 6-3 200 Vineland, N.J./St. Augustine Prep
32 Erik Harris JR C 6-9 223 Swedesboro, N.J./Kingsway Regional
41 Kenny Hasbrouck JR G 6-3 192 Capital Heights, Md./Maine Central Prep
13 Clarence Jackson FR G 6-3 180 Marlton, N.J./Cherokee
24 Cory Magee SO F 6-7 223 Fairport, N.Y./Fairport
25 Ronald Moore SO G 6-0 149 Plymouth, Pa./Plymouth Whitemarsh
43 Steven Priestly FR F 6-5 239 Uniondale, N.Y./Uniondale
22 Ryan Rossiter FR F 6-8 216 Staten Island, N.Y./Monsignor Farrell
23 Edwin Ubiles SO G/F 6-6 197 Poughkeepsie, N.Y./St. Thomas More
I compared this roster with last year's and came up with the following changes:
* Tay Fisher lost six pounds.
* Josh Duell gained five pounds.
* Erik Harris, a walk-on, gained 13 pounds. You won't see him in too many games, but make no mistake — a guy who is 6-foot-9, 223 pounds is a valuable practice commodity.
* James Carr gained seven pounds.
* Edwin Ubiles gained five pouns.
* Moore grew an inch and gained a pound.
Of course, just using weight gain and loss is an not necessarily a great way to judge a player's conditioning. For instance, Josh Duell, who I've seen around campus since the end of last season, looks trimmer, despite the scale saying he gained five pounds.
Coaches will have a better idea where these guys stand starting Thursday, when group workouts begin.
Lastly, note the abscence of walk-ons Justin Maxwell and Mick Doemel. Maxwell, who went to Guilderland High, and Doemell, a Christian Brothers Academy product, won't be back this year.

Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino mogul behind Las Vegas Sands Corp., has gotten all kinds of press since he and his wife each cut $5 million checks to the pro-Newt Gingrich superPAC Winning Our Future. The first donation brought Newt back from the dead to win the South Carolina primary via a carpet bombing of TV attack ads against Mitt Romney. The latest $5 million, officially from his wife Dr. Miriam Adelson, will help Newt try to take Florida and put the GOP race into even more of a dead heat.
The $10 million donation to the Gingrich superPAC is nothing to Adelson. That's what the Marina Bay Sands, his biggest hotel/casino, can make in profit in one day. He could give $1 billion away, 5% of his net worth, and not even notice. (Well, maybe he would notice.) But the only thing stopping him from giving $20 million, $100 million or $500 million to the superPAC (there are no limits to what individuals can give) is Gingrich himself, who may balk at the optics of being so far in the pocket of one man.
But who is Sheldon Adelson? He doesn't talk to the press much. Our last major profile on him was in 2005, just before the global economic collapse that pounded his net worth. Adelson told us then that he's always seen himself as misunderstood, an outsider, under-reckoned with. "I've been met with ridicule in every industry I've entered," he told us. "It's been that way all my life." Adelson never went to college. He grew up poor in Dorchester, Mass., the son of Jewish Ukrainian immigrants. His dad drove a taxi. "All the Irish boys from South Boston used to beat up all of the Jewish kids," he said. As a result, Adelson developed into a tough, ruthless character to his enemies but highly loyal and generous to his friends. From our story:
He sold newspapers at the age of 12, borrowing $200 from his uncle to lease two city corners. In his 30s he moved to New York, where he sold ads for financial trade publications and consulted for companies looking to go public, then returned to Boston to run his own tour business. By the mid-1980s he had built the computer industry's premiere trade show, Comdex, and had mastered the gift of gouge. He rented floor space at 15 cents a square foot, then leased it to exhibitors for up to $40 a square foot. He charged extra for on-site ads, additional electrical outlets, flowers, phones and loading. Half the fees were paid almost a year in advance, and profit margins hit 70%. "I'm not in business to make money for the other guy. I'm in business to make money for myself."
The Comdex show turned into the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, which in turn funded the Venetian and Palazzo. Then came Macao and the real money. Connie Bruck wrote a long profile of Adelson in The New Yorker in June 2008, which went into great depth about his politics and interest in conservative Israeli causes and a pro-China agenda. If you want to hear the latest, I did a radio spot yesterday on The Brian Lehrer show on WNYC with Jane Eisner, editor of The Jewish Daily Forward, about Adelson's business growth and his support for Newt, Israel and other conservative causes.
Adelson's story is a wild ride. Las Vegas Sands has gone from an IPO in 2004 to becoming arguably the world's biggest real estate developer today. The monstrous hotels it has built and is building in Singapore and Macao dwarf anything in Las Vegas. The Marina Bay Sands will generate $3 billion in cash flow a year once it's firing on all cylinders (it opened in mid-2010). As shares of Las Vegas Sands rose and fell hard with the economic bubble and collapse, Adelson's wealth has moved in unison, going from being undetected before his IPO in 2004 to a peak of $28 billion in October 2007 to $3.4 billion in March 2009 to now back up to $22 billion or so. I would bet that shares of Las Vegas Sands will, as Adelson has predicted, once again reach $100, approximately double where they are today. That's probably more likely than Gingrich making it into the Oval Office but, then again, you don't often win betting against Shelly.

Written Leases Preferred in Louisiana
A Louisiana residential lease agreement may be oral or in writing but should your lease be an oral one and you find yourself quarreling with your tenant over certain terms, it may be difficult if not impossible to prove your position. In all cases where you rent a unit or residential premises, carefully draft an agreement so that all parties are aware of their responsibilities and that notices and other procedures are thoroughly delineated.
Download This Residential Lease Agreement Form
Use the Button Above or Click here for a Special Offer on This Residential Lease Agreement Form
Leases are either fixed term–usually for one year–or month-to-month. Different rules regarding notice to terminate apply to the type of lease you have. Automatic renewal clauses, if included, can be included in a fixed term lease with some precautions.
Landlords have certain obligations to tenants that may not be waived or significantly altered. The main duty for a Louisiana landlord is to deliver and maintain the leased premises in a good condition for its leased purpose. This includes making major repairs for conditions that threaten the safety or health of the tenant. Tenants have a duty to abide by the lease, obey the law, not damage or alter the premises, allow reasonable entry by the landlord to make repairs, and inform the landlord if such repairs are needed.
Louisiana law prohibits you from refusing to rent to persons, or to treat tenants differently, on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, familial status or disability.
Necessary Lease Provisions
Although there are few required provisions in a Louisiana residential lease agreement, you should consider having one that is comprehensive so that your tenant fully understands the terms and you both have a written, enforceable agreement to review in case certain circumstances arise or your tenant feels unsure about certain procedures.
Consider the following provisions to include in your Louisiana lease:
- Name of landlord and property manager who is authorized to manage the property, address where rent is to be paid and where request for repairs are to be directed
- Names of the tenants and other occupants
- Description of the premises
- Term of the lease—weekly, monthly, yearly or other
- Amount of rent, due date, and grace period before a late fee may be imposed (provide the amount of the late fee amount but it must be reasonable)–you may request prepaid rent of your tenant at the beginning of the tenancy
- Returned check fees—state amount
- Security deposit—no limit, no interest required, no acknowledgement of receipt; return funds within 30-days of tenant vacating unit or send written statement with specific reasons for withholding it—recommend you have a mutual inspection of the premises shortly before or after tenant vacates
- Signed, separate statement of the premises' move-in condition including list of current damages to be given to tenant and signed by tenant after inspecting premises (not required but recommended)
- Obligations of landlord regarding repairs and maintenance and of services provided as indicated above
- Obligations of tenant as noted above
- Responsibility for utilities
- Major appliances that are being provided
- No commercial, business or unlawful use of premises by tenant or conduct that constitutes a nuisance
- Pet clause—a request for a fee may be nonrefundable if it is a "pet fee" and not a pet deposit
- Subletting clause
- Right of entry by landlord to make repairs, inspect and show to future tenants or purchasers or if the tenant has been causing a disturbance or is otherwise violating the lease—no notice is required but you should consider giving reasonable notice such as 24-hours though you may enter immediately if it is an emergency that threatens the safety of tenants
- Notices regarding termination for nonpayment of rent, other lease violations
- Notice for increasing rent—30 days for a monthly lease (may not be for a discriminatory or retaliatory purpose) though you may indicate a shorter period—it is suggested that your tenants be given reasonable notice
- Disclosure of the presence of any lead-based paint or hazards on the property for rental property built before 1978—both landlord and tenant must sign an EPA-approved disclosure form and the tenant provided an EPA pamphlet entitled "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home."
- Automatic renewal provision unless tenant gives notice to not exercise the option within a certain time before the lease expires (such as 30-days) but you may choose to terminate the lease by giving notice to the tenant according to your notice provision, which may be 30-days before the lease expires
Illegal Provisions
You may not include certain terms in your lease that are contrary to law or public policy or alter certain responsibilities mandated under the law. These include:
- Waiver of right to sue landlord for neglecting duties or obligations under law
- Taking a lien or security interest on the tenant's personal property
- Prohibiting tenant from joining a tenant's union
- Terminating the lease without a court order
- Waiver of any section of the law regarding security deposits
- Requiring tenant to vacate if a victim of domestic violence

Louisiana Security Deposits
State law regarding security deposits place no limit on what you can charge, that you need not give a receipt to the tenant and that you do not have to place it in an interest bearing account for the tenant's benefit. You do have to return the deposit in full within 30-days after the tenant vacates and leaves you with a forwarding address or submit an itemized statement of the damages and the cos within this time.
Though not mandated, you should consider allowing the tenant to inspect the unit with you during the last week of the tenancy and review any damages. Having had a move-in checklist at the beginning of the tenancy is a benefit to both of you.
Do not include a provision for automatic cleaning as it is probably unenforceable. Instead, you could require the tenant to clean certain areas, like the rugs, or that the unit be in the same or similar condition when rented or you will deduct for cleaning from the security deposit.
If you fail to follow this procedure regarding return or withholding of the security deposit, you can be liable to the tenant for actual damages sustained by the tenant or $200, whichever is greater, along with court costs and attorneys' fees.
Termination of the Lease
Fixed term leases expire of their own accord. If you want an automatic renewal provision, include a time (usually 30-days) by which the tenant must advise you of whether to exercise the option and remind the tenant of the renewal option before the option time. You can also terminate the lease by advising the tenant within the same time that you wish for the tenant to vacate or that a new lease will have to be signed. Unless you give notice within the time you allot in the lease, all the lease terms will continue to apply including the rent though you can give a 10-day notice before the end of the monthly period of a rent increase once the monthly lease begins.
If you do not have an automatic renewal clause and the tenant remains in the unit for one week, then it becomes a month-to-month lease and all the lease terms continue to apply. If you wish to change the lease terms, you must give 10-days' notice before the end of the monthly period.
For a yearly lease, with no end date, give 30-days' written notice before the end of the year. For a month-to-month lease, both of you must give the other 10-days' notice to terminate the lease. A weekly lease requires 5-day notice to terminate.
For non-payment of rent or for any other lease violations, you must serve a 5-day written notice although you can have either a shorter notice period or no notice period at all so long as you include it in your lease, though you may want your tenant to have some time to either come up with the rent or cure another lease term violation. There is no statute regarding weekly leases so any notice or no notice is valid. You can also state that any illegal activity such as use or possession of illegal drugs, being a chronic nuisance to other tenants, having substantially damaged the premises or having used the premises for commercial activity will automatically terminate the lease with no opportunity to cure the violation.
Military Service Exception
Under the Servicemembers Relief Act, a tenant who is a member of the Armed Forces can terminate a lease early if the tenant receives deployment orders to move more than 35 miles from the premises for more than 90 days and a copy of the orders is given to the landlord. This also applies if the tenant is ordered to reside in government-supplied quarters. The tenant is required to give 30-days' notice if practical and to pay for the remainder of that month's rent but with no further obligations under the lease.
Domestic Violence Exception
Victims of domestic violence may terminate a lease early without penalty so long as they can produce an order of protection or other legal document evidencing the circumstances and are in imminent threat from the abuser. A landlord cannot refuse to rent to someone who is a victim but may terminate the lease of a perpetrator or abuser. If one tenant has abused the other, you can have the abuser tenant vacate the unit but not the victim tenant.
Repair and Deduct Rules in Louisiana
A tenant may deduct from the rent the reasonable costs of repairs if necessary repairs were requested of the landlord who neglected to perform them after being given written notice and a reasonable time to do them.
Should the premises become unlivable because of the lack of heat or air conditioning or some other condition and the landlord has not remedied the condition despite a request and a reasonable time to repair, then the tenant could to file a dispute with the Consumer Protection Section of the Attorney General's office.
Otherwise, if the condition is serious and you as landlord did not perform any of the repairs and the tenant can prove you had notice, then the tenant can terminate the lease with no further obligations.
Louisiana residential lease agreements should be comprehensive and can include certain terms and provisions to your benefit. So long as your terms are reasonable and comply with state and federal law, your entire lease agreement is enforceable and is evidence of your contractual arrangement with your tenants. If you have any questions or concerns about your responsibilities or those of your tenants, contact a Louisiana landlord/tenant attorney.

In the last few years Of Montreal have become one of indie rock's better live acts, delivering theatrical productions with glitter, nudity, puppetry and bondage costumes to go with their psychedelic funk-rock. (At a show earlier this year, Susan Sarandon came onstage dressed as a dominatrix.) To support their new album, False Priest (out next week), the Athens, Georgia crew are gearing up for another what may prove to be their most outlandish tour yet, featuring five costumed performance artists onstage, plus a storyline about the band traveling through a parallel universe. "We've done a lot of skit performances in the past, but this is way more abstract — it's about the whole visual event, rather than just making people laugh," frontman Kevin Barnes tells Rolling Stone. "We're creating something that's unconventional, especially if you place us in a genre like indie rock." Check out our exclusive clip of the band's behind-the-scenes preparation above.
Janelle Monáe — who guests on two False Priest tracks — will join Of Montreal on tour, but rather than simply play her own opening set, she'll help the band kick off each night with a free-form jam session, covering tunes by everyone from Prince to Neil Young. "We're viewing it as us curating a night at the venue — there will be performance art before the show starts," Barnes says. "We want it to be so that right when the doors open and people start coming in, Janelle and Of Montreal will be performing. We're trying to go a lot of cross pollination." Barnes says he got the idea from watching Talking Heads gigs from the '80s, when David Byrne would open the stage to the Talking Heads side-project Tom Tom Club. "I thought, 'That's so cool,'" says Barnes. "You don't have to feel like you're one thing because that's what people expect. I like to think of this more along the lines of it being an event."
Unlike Lady Gaga, with her enormous Monster Ball spectacle, or the Flaming Lips and their elaborate shows, Of Montreal have kept things DIY, financing the tour themselves and pitching in with the costumes and set design. The band is traveling with two tour busses, two trailers and an entourage of 18. "Everyone's loading gear in and setting up props and taking care of costuming," says Barnes. "Its not a rock star thing where we like, fly in a guitar tech — wait, we do have a guitar tech, but not like a drum tech or a keyboard tech. We have one guy who does everything-tech." As a result, tickets prices will be reasonable: tickets in smaller markets like Athens, Georgia are going for $17, while bigger cities like New York max out at $30. "We don't want to rip anybody off," says Barnes.
As for the set list, Of Montreal will be focusing mostly on tunes from the new disc. "It'll definitely be heavy on new songs because they're fun for us to play right now," says Barnes. "But we understand people aren't going to be totally into the new material so we'll play songs from" earlier albums like Skeletal Lamping and Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?. Expect Barnes' pal (and Beyonce's younger sister) Solange Knowles, who also guests on the new record, to drop by for a few shows. "I imagine we can get her to come to New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco," says Barnes. "She doesn't seem to have a problem with globe-trotting."

Peaceful Place
Let me stay in this peaceful place,
Where there's never a worry nor care,
Time is of no consequence here.
Given the choice I'd always be there,
The place where I can work hard, or not,
The pace is solely determined by me,
Time to count all the good things I've got,
The attraction here is for all to see,
When days are hard and I want some space,
Let me stay in this peaceful place.

Don't have any issue with your 2 upset predictions in the East, but I have a very hard time seeing Utah/Phoenix knock off the Spurs. This San Antonio team not only looks great lately, but have been building towards these playoffs all season. It's going to take a much more elite team than what the Jazz or Suns are putting on the floor to knock them off (if anyone does at all...I like them to win it all personally).
Originally Posted by kaponofor3: OK this is probably heresy here, but am I the only one who could see Utah giving San Antonio some problems? I mean let's think back to last year with Memphis being a matchup nightmare for SAS. Why was that? Cause Memphis had BEASTS underneath and owned the paint. What is Utah's clear strength? It's gotta be the four big bodies of Jefferson, Milsap, Favors, and Kanter. I understand that Manu was injured in last year's series, but this type of scenario has been biting at me for the last couple of days. Can San Antonio match the inside presence of Utah?
Just don't see it. Utah's got 4 guys under 21 years old or something like that. Youngest team in the playoffs by a mile. The old men will teach them a few things
Sure, Jefferson and Milsap will have big games...Favors and Kanter are horrible.
Certainly no value betting on the Spurs to win the series at whatever steep price they'll be, but I think you're just flushing money down the toilet if you take Utah.
May as well wait until they're down 0-2 then for the maximum odds.
Maybe the crowd (and some home-cooked officiating) let's them win game 3.

The newest calls to raise the minimum wage in NYC to $11/hour are a frustrating reminder that the city's own Comptroller, Scott Stringer, has a total lack of understanding about how economics work.
Scott Stringer makes the argument that raising the minimum wage to $11/hour would provide an additional $2 billion in annual income to working families. While that might sound good to taxpayers — to get more money in their pockets — he completely fails to explain the other side of the equation: from where does that $2 billion come?
Stringer seemingly takes that $2 billion figure out of thin air, as there is no documented basis from which he arrived at this number. If Stringer is not utterly incompetent, then he should certainly have available his complete analysis of the financial pluses and minuses that are likely to occur as the result of the minimum wage hike; after all, that is his job.
Here's the problem. Minimum wage hikes mean that all employers in New York City – both in the government and in the private sector – will pay more for its labor than it currently does pay, in order to produce the exact same product or services. Looked at it another way, in order to keep to the operating budget, NYC will get less goods and services than it now receives. Or, to keep its present level of operations would result in a budget deficit — because of having to spend more overall to maintain the current goods and services.
Therefore, the thought that minimum wage increases — especially a substantial one — will not have a negative effect on the city economy, is ludicrous.
The standard justification goes that the higher minimum wage puts more money into needy families and therefore strengthens the economy. This argument just happens to have a wonderful political effect for Democrats: it makes them seem sensitive to the plight of the needy, while making Republicans look like shills for those greedy Republican businessmen who are only trying to squeeze every last dollar out of their poor employees.
Just one problem —the Democratic position is nonsense, and economists know it, because of simple Economics 101: no businessman would be willing to pay an employee more than the economic value of the employee for him to perform his work.
Let's assume that the rise in the minimum wage puts the cost of employee in excess of the value of that employee. The employer may then 1) terminate the employee (saving the excess of cost over productivity) or 2) buy equipment which, at that price, becomes cheaper than the employee.
But let's say the employer keeps the employee, just paying him more for the same work he did before. The employer will then either a) earn a smaller return on his investment, reducing the amount he will be able to invest in the business in the future; b) he will raise his prices, which will maintain his profit margin, but will reduce his sales via you, or c) some combination of a) and b). In either case, growth of the NY economy will be hurt.
Here in New York City, a minimum wage hike would mean that New York City will pay more for its labor than it currently has calculated to pay, in order to produce the exact same product or services. Looked at it another way, to then keep to the operating budget, NYC will get less goods and services for the taxes it receives. This would result in a budget deficit — because of having to spend more overall to maintain the current goods and services.
Therefore, the thought that minimum wage increases — especially a substantial one — will not have a negative effect on the city economy, is ludicrous.
What the city is demanding with the minimum wage increase will have two effects. First, businesses in the city will have to pay their labor more, thereby raising the price of their goods to cover the wage increase. This ultimately will render New York City businesses less competitive than other businesses not located in the city. The result? Our businesses will lose business to those outside of New York City. That is not positive for the economy.
Secondly, New York City is often required to buy from the lowest bidder for many of its goods and services. Therefore, the city would likely have end up buying from outside of the city in order to get those cheaper prices — thereby not supporting the city's own businesses.
The net effect of a minimum wage hike from $8 to $11 (a 37.5% increase) will take its toll on businesses in New York City and the economy. Stringer has publicly admitted that "the budgetary path we are on is still not sustainable." Instead of cutting spending, his solution is to make the businesses cough up extra funds via a wage increase so that those wages can subsequently be taxed for more revenue for the city and the city's budget — even at the expense of NYC businesses. Taxpayers too, will be affected, because their tax dollars will have less purchasing power in the city.
The minimum wage is already set to rise incrementally through 2015 to $9.00 for New York. Pushing through a faster and higher minimum wage increase will handicap New York City businesses in an already sluggish economy, and punish those companies who already endure high taxes and unending bureaucracy under the heavy hand of government.

~I received complimentary tickets to The Magic House – Sid the Science Kid The Super-Duper Exhibit for this post. My family is in full support of our local attraction!~
One of the best places to take children in St. Louis is The Magic House. I had always regarded my trip there when I was in Elementary school as one of the greatest experiences in my childhood and they have come so far since. The entire purpose of The Magic House Children's Museum is to give children the gift of hands-on learning in a stimulating environment with their peers. From the waterworks and bubble room to playing with musical instruments, electricity and working around the Children's Village, it has been an inspiring destination for kids for decades.
It's no surprise to me that they are teaming up with PBS's Sid the Science Kid, a show about an inquisitive young child that loves to learn and utilize basic science principals. It's a perfect match actually! I'm really excited about the opening on January 25th!
The Super-Duper Exhibit explores everyday science questions in Sid's home, on the playground and at school. Kid's have the opportunity to become little scientists themselves with hands-on activities and scientific tools! The great thing is, the new exhibit is included with the price of Museum general admission!
If you have young children and live near St. Louis, it's the perfect opportunity to get out of the chilly air and have some fun with the kids. I know we've been going stir crazy stuck in our house over the very long extended winter break and this is the perfect place to take children to have fun, learn something new and to feel a little like a kid again yourself. Who says parents can play too?
You can learn more about Sid the Science Kid & The Super-Duper Exhibit, hours admission and parking by visiting The Magic House website!

Diversity, Ideology, and Teaching Writing.
Hairston, Maxine
College Composition and Communication, v43 n2 p179-93 May 1992
Warns against the new model emerging for first-year writing programs that puts dogma before diversity, politics before craft, ideology before critical thinking, and the social goals of the teacher before the educational needs of the student. Discusses how this model came about, the threat it poses to first-year courses, and new possibilities for such courses. (SR)

Well, not right now, maybe. Because six hours of your day will disappear instantly. But do read them. Or read something (or everything) by Tony Kushner, because everyone should.
As the revival of Kusner's Angels in America opens this week at the Signature Theatre, many have noted that Kushner is standard lit-course cannon these days. What's below is his semi-cannon, a series of speeches and essays culled ragtag from the wilds of the internet, plus John Lahr's impressions of Kushner as a person and a writer. We'll call these Kushner's b-sides—short pieces that contain his big thoughts about big things—Equality, America, Politics, Justice, The Future. Read. Feel hopeful. And be happy, for a moment, that someone as excellent/bright/compassionate as Tony Kushner decided to make his life in theater.

Dave Mustaine is spinning slowly in a chair, holding a visor tight over his eyes, as he enjoys a rare experience: watching Megadeth perform live. He's looking at rehearsal footage of his thrash metal band for a virtual reality project in connection with Megadeth's new album, Dystopia, out Friday.
"I'm seeing Kiko 'Suave' playing guitar," says Mustaine, now standing and describing what he sees in the visor as he virtually wanders among the band mid-song, looking first at newest member Kiko Loureiro. Then he sees bassist and co-founder David Ellefson "in the flesh" and drummer Chris Adler, then finally himself. "Hey, my hair looks great!"
The band is at a Los Angeles soundstage with director Blair Underwood and the 360-degree cameras of Next Galaxy to perform five songs from the new album: "Fatal Illusion," "The Threat Is Real," "Dystopia," "Post-American World" and "Poisonous Shadows."
"We're hoping for something that is completely mind-blowing, and we're doing something that to the best of my knowledge hasn't been done yet by any metal bands and maybe not any bands at all," Mustaine tells Rolling Stone during a break in shooting. "You're not only going to be able to see what we're doing — you're going to feel like you're right in the room with us."
Ellefson notes that Megadeth was the first metal act to have a website back in the mid-Nineties. "It's cool to see things that were just concepts so many years ago are now things that our band are on the front edge of doing," he says.
The virtual reality performance footage will be included in a special edition of Dystopia, packaged with the visor and instructions on how to download an app that allows you view the immersive mini-concert via your smartphone. The five-song set unfolds amid flashing lights, layers of fog and the "dystopian world" introduced in the music video for "The Threat Is Real."
That grim scenario is hardly new for Megadeth, which has explored doom, death and corrupt geopolitics in their songs and imagery from the band's early Eighties beginning. The band's name, says Ellefson, refers to the body count after a nuclear confrontation, and "that theme has carried through from the very original artwork."
"I don't like to present the world in a horrible light," says Mustaine. "The world is a great place, but it's got several buttholes that live here. ... Either you can get into that mob mentality and point fingers and complain and bitch and bellyache, or you can do something about it."
Mustaine said his experience in 1992 working with Rock the Vote to increase turnout of young voters made a lasting impression on him. "Changing the course of civilization or behavior with one person or a group of people, it takes time," Mustaine says. "It's much like trying to turn an ocean liner — you can turn the wheel all the way to the left, and you know you're turning, but it don't feel like it. It just takes time.
Among the new songs performed for the virtual reality shoot was "Poisonous Shadows," which opens with Loureiro plucking an acoustic guitar melody. At the VR taping, a small string section was recruited.
"It's a good way to show different atmospheres on a thrash metal album," says Loureiro, who joined Megadeth early this year. "It's a beautiful song that deserves to have these counter-lines with viola, violin, cello."
It's another layer to the thrash metal sound originated by the so-called Big 4 bands of the genre: Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax. Created in the days when hair metal dominated MTV and the Sunset Strip, thrash was a faster, harsher underground sound, but proved to be the more lasting one. "I'm really glad that I matter," Mustaine says, "that I've made a difference."
"It was a way of life," says Mustaine. "It was kind of like those old medieval movies, where each clan had its charter and creed that they lived by. And they would get together and before they said anything, they would always celebrate — they'd eat, they'd drink, and then they'd get down to business."
He now laments that business usually comes first in much of the music industry. "That is the cause for so much superficiality in the music business," he says. "You see that the pop business and some of the other factions of the music industry [are] so sales-driven, they've forgotten the beauty about music and what it is — that it's supposed to make you feel good. When you listen to it, you go places."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Ohio State staged another shootout.
It still has the better weapons.
The Buckeyes kept their record perfect behind another explosive offensive performance, riding Braxton Miller and Carlos Hyde on the ground and getting a couple touchdown receptions from Devin Smith to hold off feisty Indiana in a 52-49 decision on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.
It was over when: During a brief interruption of the Braxton Miller Show, backup quarterback Kenny Guiton came off the bench to finish off a touchdown drive and effectively put away the Hoosiers. After a late hit briefly sidelined Miller, Guiton rolled to his right and flipped a shovel pass to Carlos Hyde that opened up a two-score margin for the Buckeyes in a game that had tightened back up in the second half. The Hoosiers made it interesting late, but the lead the Buckeyes had built was ultimately too big.
Game ball goes to: Braxton Miller didn't have his best stuff throughout the game, but the sophomore quarterback was on enough to again bust loose for a long, 67-yard touchdown run on the way to another 100-yard performance on the ground. He also complemented it with a gorgeous, 60-yard scoring strike to Devin Smith and an efficient outing through the air to keep the Buckeyes unbeaten.
Stat of the game: Smith put a couple throws his way on the ground, but both times he was able to hang on to the football he found himself in the end zone. All the sophomore needed were two catches to rack up 106 yards through the air and give the Buckeyes a couple critical touchdowns.
How the game was won: The Hoosiers had an aggressive scheme against the spread option and tackled well on the perimeter, but they had no answer for the Buckeyes between the tackles. Miller's 67-yard score came up the middle, and running back Carlos Hyde was a force on the inside, regularly breaking tackles, moving the pile and making life difficult for Indiana.
What it means: Ohio State still has some flaws, but it also has a perfect record. Injuries took a toll on the Buckeyes defensively, so much so that fullback Zach Boren spent the game playing linebacker trying to help a unit that continues to give up big plays and miss critical tackles.
But the Hoosiers still have much more pressing concerns than the Buckeyes, and their futility in the series continued despite jumping out to an early lead and having chances to swing momentum against a team at less than full strength.

OK, at the moment leather is my thing. I'm attracted by both these scents but I won't buy both. Or at least that would be the reasonable thing to do. LM is the more wearable for sure: lush, seductive, equally industrial and oriental: a scent while PdE is more of an olfactory picture for me. It brings in an instance rooms, furniture, leather suitcases, dried flowers. Feels like a place from an old movie, a place I've visited in my dreams.
Which would you choose? On one hand, I don't lack wearable perfumes and I'd more likely reach for Tom of Finland if I want wearable leather, especially when there are warm months coming. On the other hand, buying a 100ml bottle just for one's own appreciation might be too much. I already have Givenchy Gentleman playing similar role in my wardrobe; this 100ml bottle will last forever. I also have Messe de MInuit, standing somewhere in the middle, 'antique' or almost gourmand/oriental, depending on weather.
Ok, my doubts aside. What would you choose?

Go ahead and add me next time you're on. I will hopefully be on late tonight if you wanna play.
You're gonna get to play me at the best time because it's been a while since I've played and I was sucking terribly last I played. Once I got to a level 9 online (and 900 points), I started playing top 100 people who destroy me. I'm not as good at 13 as I have been in the past.
I'm probably gonna roll with the Seahawks. Titans piss me off too much when I'm playing competitively.

Several days ago we reported that CM Punk might be in danger of losing the WWE Title soon due to poor ratings of his weekly Raw segments.
F4WOnline.com is now reporting, also as a result of poor ratings, that WWE has placed Zack Ryder in a romance story line with Eve Torres in order to distance him from the main event picture.
The report is noting that these managerial moves are stemming from the very poor 2.67 cable rating drawn by the main event of last week's Raw Supershow. It's being said that the current Ryder/Torres story line is expected to continue for the next several weeks.
Have a news tip? Attended an event and want to send a live report?

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WKBN) — A Youngstown man was sentenced to 90 years in prison for exploiting children and distributing visual depictions of minors in sexually explicit conduct, according to the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
Christopher Cavna, 27, had children engage in sexually explicit conduct in 2013 and then distributed images of that conduct, a press release stated.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Sullivan prosecuted the case following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Mahoning Valley Violent Crimes Task Force, and the Ohio Adult Parole Authority.

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Keeping an Exercise Journal
Think that you don't need to keep track of your exercise and exercise routines? That keeping an "exercise diary" or journal isn't for you.
Then may you should rethink your exercise action plan.
Conventional wisdom states that you can improve on what you don't track – if you are not tracking your exercise in an exercise diary, then how can you improve it?
Exercise has multiple benefits from increased muscle strength, decreased weight, and improved health. But who stays on a program for more than a week?
Research shows that if you can maintain an activity for 30 days you'll be more likely to stick with it. And, if you can maintain an activity for 60 days it will be harder to stop the habit than to continue.
This is one reason an exercise diary can be critical to your success. You may think that an exercise diary only includes the workout that was done but there is so much more that can be recorded.
Recording exercise helps you to notice trends in your performance. If you rate your performance through both objective and subjective criteria you'll notice differences between your actual performance and how you felt that you performed.
Diaries can be retrospective (historical) and prospective (future). In other words you can use the diary to record a plan for your workout and then record the actual routine. Using this strategy people new to an exercise routine have a greater chance of continuing the program.
The diary acts somewhat like an accountability partner. The routine is written down and if you neglect to start or complete it you must also record your results. Using the diary to maintain your focus increases your chances of success.
Exercise diaries also help to highlight weaknesses in both your program and your abilities. Keeping track of your performance in different activities will indicate your abilities. And that same information will show you how quickly or slowly you are progressing.
Motivation is a problem for many people who are exercising or new to an exercise routine. Doing the same thing day after day can be monotonous. Recording your objective data and watching the changes can often times increase your desire to continue. You can also change your routines and be assured that you have a record of what really worked and what doesn't.
Exercise diaries should include objective data such as heart rate before, during and after; the amount of time you spent exercising, any resistance (weights) you may be using, time of day you are exercising and measurements of your arms, thighs, waist and hips over time.
Subjective data should include how you feel before, during and after exercise. You can use a numeric rating system to be able to compare your 'feelings' over time. Now you can evaluate when your top times to exercise are based on your rating system.
Exercise diaries give you the edge to improve your program, increase your motivation, determine your best workouts and times, track your progress and begin a life changing habit.
Remember that keeping an exercise diary only takes 2-3 minutes per entry, yet you can gain so much in return.
They say that those who keep an exercise diary compared to those that don't reach their goals more quickly and also keep with their fitness workouts much longer.
If you don't want to call it an exercise diary – call it an exercise log. It doesn't matter what you call it. Just remember to do it.Please come back and visit this site How To Get 6 Pack Abs

text: Hi, here are some first results of my tests on a fso-nox image and andy-tracking kernel (2.6.28): - alarms (using atd from angstrom, since no newer package exists), normal + when suspended ==> OK - wake up when receiving sms ==> OK - call + echo check ==> OK - missed call bug ==> OK - duplicate sms thing ==> OK - bluetooth ==> "bluetooth not available" error - voice notes ==> not working (not recording) - usb cable handling for power charging ... ==> the freephone seems to charge when plugged in, but it suspends anyway (if the setting "suspend" is set when on battery). So somewhere there's a small bug there. So for me, this seems great! The bluetooth worked on a 2.6.24 kernel, so it should be easy to fix ... and I'm sure Filip will fix the suspending thing :-) Franky

PALMVIEW, Texas – One person is dead and three others injured in a drive-by shooting at an H-E-B Monday morning in the border community of Palmview.
The store, located just six miles north of the Mexico border, closed for the day.
The sole suspect, identified as 25-year-old Raul Lopez, was arraigned that same afternoon and charged with one count of murder and three counts of attempted murder.
Police are calling it an isolated incident that is not gang related.
Palmview Police Chief Chris Barrera said Lopez, who happens to be an employee of the same store, drove by at 3 a.m. and began shooting towards the break room window where four of his coworkers were gathered.
Mario Pulido, 48, died as a result while the other three suffered gunshot wounds and were taken to the hospital.
Lopez then left the scene and went home where he called the police and later turned himself in.
"His motive is paranoia. He felt that everybody was out to get him," said Barrera. "He believes he didn't shoot anybody. He believes the window was bulletproof and nobody got hurt and he was just scaring people. That is what he is stating."
The shooting prompted the temporary closure of the H-E-B. KENS 5 Border Team spoke with some of their customers who tried to shop but were turned away.
Norma Diaz a regular at this H-E-B said she's glad she wasn't at the store with her kids at the time of the shooting. While Palmview resident Pedro Flores said he's concerned that this could happen again, not only at this store but anywhere.
The H-E-B representatives refused to take any questions but did provide a statement for the victims' families.
"H-E-B is known for its commitment to its people and community," said Vice-President and General Manager Javier Avalos. "And we're focused on assisting our partners and their families in this difficult time."
Palmview police have yet to talk to the victims that were taken to the hospital and hear their version of the story. Meanwhile, H-E-B said it plans to reopen sometime Tuesday.
