Did Ole Miss sign Robert Nkemdiche's brother last year just to put itself in better position to land the consensus No. 1 college football prospect in the nation for 2013?
There are plenty of rumors and speculation about that topic since it involves Robert Nkemdiche, who told the AJC he will leave on Friday to visit Ole Miss and watch his brother play in this weekend's spring scrimmage.
Alabama and Ole Miss are considered the frontrunners for the 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive lineman from Grayson High School. Robert also has UGA, Clemson and LSU among his leaders. He is tentatively scheduled to announce on May 18.
Last spring, Denzel Nkemdiche, Robert's brother, was a late academic qualifier out of Grayson. The speedy defensive back was hotly pursued by Ole Miss in late May, and committed shortly after returning from his official visit with the Rebels. It was a significant transaction because the boys' parents would like them to play together in college.
Did Ole Miss aggressively chase after Denzel in order to get Robert? That's what some message boards would have you believe.
"I've been scared to comment on anything like that because someone may think I'm talking about recruits," Ole Miss first-year coach Hugh Freeze told the AJC, referring to NCAA rules that prevent him from publicly commenting on any prospective student-athletes.
The older Nkemdiche was signed by former coach Houston Nutt.
"All I can say is that I've been thoroughly impressed with Denzel," Freeze said. "I wasn't here when Denzel was signed but I can talk about him since he plays for us. Denzel has had a remarkable spring, and has one of the best attitudes and work ethics on our football team, so I'm thrilled to have him."
Denzel was always considered a legitimate major-college prospect at Grayson but nowhere near in the same galaxy as his younger brother, who is considered a "once in a generation" prospect. However, Denzel may be on the way to exceeding expectations at Ole Miss. After being redshirted this past season, the older Nkemdiche is battling for a starting position in the Ole Miss secondary.
Back to Robert: Ole Miss has some stiff competition for the younger Nkemediche. Does Freeze think the Rebels can really recruit against anybody for the nation's elite prospects?
"We're going to think so … well, our staff is going to refuse to think any other way," Freeze said. "I was here at Ole Miss [as recruiting coordinator from 2006-07] when we recruited Michael Oher, Dexter McCluster, Mike Wallace, Peria Jerry and Jerrell Powe — all who went in the NFL Draft. If we had thought any different, we would've never got those guys. We're going to refuse to think any other way."
When Robert visited his brother at Ole Miss in February, he was treated like a rock star. He got a standing ovation from Ole Miss fans when he walked into the baseball stadium for a game. Nkemdiche was overwhelmed by the attention, and said it made him feel like "Michael Jackson."
On Tuesday, Nkemdiche was announced as the No. 1-ranked prospect in the country by ESPN, an honor which had already been bestowed on him by Rivals, Scout and 247sports.com. He is the first-ever Georgia player to be rated as the country's top prospect by any of the major recruiting services.

Does a bear crap in the woods? Just kidding!!
If Robert wants to play Big Boys football he
should pick Bama or LSU. Clemson and
Ole Miss are a joke!! RTR

I think Nkemdiche will sign with LSU. I don't see him signing with Ole Miss unless something fishy is going on over there. If he's dumb enough to go to Ole Miss, we don't need him in T-Town anyway!!!

Denzel was played by Nutt and doesn't even realize it. Denzel really thinks it was his idea. Approx. one month later when he finally qualified Georgia offered . I really think that CMR thought he was not going to qualify or he would have offered earlier but I really believe the Nkemdiche family blame Georgia for Denzel not ending up at Georgia. My question to the family is what more could Georgia have done. They offered a full scholarship to Denzel 7 or 8 months before signing day. How can you blame Georgia ? What Denzel didn't take into consideration was if he had not qualified he wouldn't have gone to Ole Miss either. I will admit that Ole Miss may have really wanted Denzel because his star ranking is about as high as Ole Miss ever gets except every once in a while if a home state recruit is above average. Surely , Denzel mainly went to Ole Miss because Nutt was the head coach. What other reason would he go? With Nutt gone I don't see any reason why someone as good as Robert would ever consider Ole Miss.
Hopefully Robert will be smart enough to realize that he can show case himself a lot more with Georgia and I will admit or Alabama. But, going to Ole Miss makes no sense. In three years Robert will be maybe on the West coast any way, who knows what Pro team he will be on.. What is his parents going to do then. Time to grow up, Robert .

Have fun Robert at Ole Miss this weekend. 7576 sometimes its hard to understand why a recruit goes to a certain school, but Ole Miss does play big boy football also. If he chooses Miss then so be it i would have loved playing with a brother in college. UGA did nothing wrong here recruiting .

Bama, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas. Good luck in this sweepstakes. It is good that he is announcing in May so this story goes away.

It just occurred to me that SEC Football is kind of like the Hunger Games. They take you when you're 17 years old, treat you like a rock star and really want to get to know you. Then the season of games start…if you're not the one left standing they criticize and mock you.

7576Dawg……Robert may want to go to Ole Miss for the academics. It is a better school than Alabama and LSU. He might just want to play with his brother. There are 2 reasons that make sense. Of course he will get exposure at Ole Miss. This is not the 50's & 60's where players went unnoticed. Good luck Robert. Hope you give the Dawgs a fair look!

Was at the first Richt spring tour outing last night in Augusta. He's pumped about the team, but showed his hand when ask about the offensive line. He said that the first week of spring ball had him concerned about the line but as the spring went on, he saw much improvement….But went on to say, I had to be reminded that they were going up against what many consider the best defense since I've been at Georgia, and that's saying something. These guys baring injuries are gonna be special.

AMEN to that Beast. Sometimes the hype is more than the results. We heard the same thing last year about Ray Drew who we signed, a man among boys and all that blah blah blah……And he couldn't even crack out line up last year…..and Richt mentioned him last night and said he has come a long way…….. nothing like the recruiting hype as far as results go.

Tampa Gator, Unfortunately this story is not going away. He's now not going to announce in May and may wait until after his senior year. Typical 18 year old who's obviously enjoying all the hoopla and hype.

2012 is the first time GA coaches learn where Gwinnett County is located. Quit bitchin about those top players that have been recruited for years and now going elsewhere. The SEC is strong again for the 2012 season, some of the lesser teams are improved greatly and those mid level taams, say 5 to 10 need to be careful, several of the bottom four can beat them.
John Gruden has turned into a "w"ussy the past several years, if he were truly a man's man he would jump at the opportunity to coach in the SEC West and Arkansas who has great talent, great facilities improving to top tier and he would be able to garner great recruits from the south as well as texas. John Gruden has a chance to have the best job that will be offered over the next 5 years, not jumping and taking Arkansas job tells me he is a ?????.
April 18th, 2012

Good point, Beast. Also, 7576 — I thought that Denzel was offered by UGA & Ole Miss, AFTER signing day (hence the term Late Qualifier).

The kid is the #1 prospect in the nation. That is why MC has written numerous articles. UGA and UF fans take shots at the attention the kid is getting because they have not shot at signing him.

Honest Ingine………Yes Arkansas is in trouble. They will hire a coach from within their ranks this year. Petrino was not a factor in recruiting Georgia. HS coaches and players remember what a dog he was with the Falcons. This will hurt recruiting for at least 2 years, their fans are outraged at Bobby P.
April 18th, 2012

It would be nice to replace your weekly Robert Nkemdiche articles for at least this week, and maybe talk about some of the prospects who are attending Spring games.
For example, Darius Curry declined attending the OK State Spring game on Saturday so he could atend the Friday night spring game at Tech. Jay Woods will also be there, among a host of other highly touted recruits. How about a story like that?

MC, you hack! Not a word about Saban in this article. It's so obvious that you have it in for Saban. He's the best coach in the country and yet not one word from you about him. You are so jealous.

"Home of Champions" thanks for reminding UGA how many talented players have left the state to play for the "MACHINE"!!! If CRG had played the game right and offered Denzel earlier / and offered David Kamara his best friend, UGA may have had a great chance to land R Nkemdiiche, but no, CRG was slow as usual on making a proactive move (and w/ scholarships to give!!)

Surprise Bammer fans will accuse Ole Miss of cheating if we get him and you don't. Stay Classy Tide fans. Robert, this is a no brainer. You'll be the big man on campus your entire career, and still get drafted in the 1st round if you play at Ole Miss. If you go to Alabama they'll turn on you the first bad game you have. Worse yet, if you get hurt Saban will ask you to quit to open another scholly for the next #1 prospect he recruits. It will be much more satisfying to come to Ole Miss and help us beat those pompous pricks. Hotty Toddy!

NEAR RICHLAND, Wash.-- A new addition to the Hanford B Reactor tour promises to engage visitors in the area's history.
A new B Reactor display, the 100 B Area Facility Board is a model to scale of all the buildings used to run the B Reactor.
The board is designed to illustrate the grand scale of the B Reactor facilities and showcase the workers' accomplishments.
The board displays each replica building and illuminates the structures with a push of a button to match a description of the facility.
Within a few weeks there will be narrations that play as the model buildings light up.
"Getting B Reactor running, from the power plant, to the pump house, to down at the river, to the water lines, it's just amazing how they could do so much in such a short time," said Maynard Plahuta, B Reactor Museum Association.
Workers completed the infrastructure work in just 13 months.
The B Reactor Museum Association hopes the B Area model board will illustrate this impressive part of American history to the thousands of visitors that tour the reactor every year.
The model board cost $30,000 to put together.

Comcast settles file-sharing lawsuit
Claim forms must be postmarked by August.
This post comes from Jon Hood at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Comcast has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the wireless provider of blocking access to peer-to-peer Web sites.
The agreement brings an end to two years of litigation that sparked heated debate over whether Internet providers should be allowed to filter content, and how much filtering they can get away with.
Lead plaintiff Jon Hart filed the lawsuit in November 2007, citing Comcast's apparent practice of using software to block peer-to-peer connections. Hart's complaint accused Comcast of sending "hidden messages to computers that are running file sharing applications, [which] appear to the computer as coming from the other computers with which it is sharing files, telling it to stop communicating."
At the time of Hart's filing, Comcast issued an adamant but vaguely worded statement denying the allegations. While Comcast insisted that the company "does not, has not, and will not block any Web sites or online applications, including peer-to-peer services," it reserved its right to "use the latest technologies to manage our network so that [subscribers] can continue to enjoy these applications."
Peer-to-peer networks are those operating directly between users, as opposed to networks that emanate from a central server. Peer-to-peer systems gained influence early in the decade through Web sites like Napster, a music file-sharing site that allowed users to share MP3 files with one another. Although Napster was eventually shut down by court order, it fueled the rise of similar peer-to-peer file-sharing networks at the expense of more traditional, centralized systems.
Hart's suit came after months of speculation over Comcast's practices regarding peer-to-peer networks. In October 2007, the company admitted to delaying some peer-to-peer network connections, saying that such transactions used excessive bandwidth and were therefore disruptive to the entire network. Before that, The Associated Press tested Comcast's peer-to-peer capability and found that many transfers were blocked outright.
Comcast's practices have also drawn fire from network neutrality advocates, who said the company was preventing its users from viewing large swaths of online material. Markham C. Erickson, an attorney and executive director of the Open Internet Coalition, said in 2007 that Comcast's policies highlighted the "ability of broadband providers to make unilateral, non-transparent decisions about what consumers can send and receive over the Internet."
- Bing: Net neutrality issues
The settlement covers current or former Comcast subscribers, who used or attempted to use peer-to-peer sites Ares, BitTorrent, eDonkey, FastTrack, or Gnutella between April 1, 2006, and Dec. 31, 2008, or Lotus Notes between March 26, 2007, and Oct. 3, 2007.
Those who believe they are eligible to recover have plenty of time. Claim forms must be postmarked by Aug. 14, 2010. Those who wish to opt out of or object to the settlement must postmark their request by May 13, 2010. Additional details are available at the official settlement Web site.

THE CHANGING UNIVERSITY Schedule
Let's Get to Work! Joining Massive March, GESO Stands for Organizing Rights
On April 25, GESO joined 2,000 union and community members marched through the streets of downtown New Haven to "get to work" for strong contracts, good jobs, organizing rights, youth opportunities, and safe streets. UNITE HERE at Yale members of Local 34, Local 35, GESO, and the Yale Unions Retirees Association turned out in large numbers for the event. The march, which began on the upper New Haven Green and proceeded down Temple and College Streets to the Yale Medical School, was both festive and powerful. Kings of Harmony, a New Haven-based brass band, led the way.
The march ended on Cedar Street in the heart of Yale Medical School. There, Kate Irving, GESO chairperson and graduate teacher in the History of Science and History of Medicine told the crowd, "for twenty years, graduate teachers and researchers have asked Yale for a simple thing: when we say we want a Union, listen to us and respect our choice." Irving continued, "We need organizing rights to give us a seat at the table. We stand with community members and Locals 34 and 35 in your mission for great contracts and real solutions to unemployment in this city, and we look forward to winning a great contract for ourselves."
Irving joined other speakers–including workers from UNITE HERE Local 34, Local 35, and Local 217, Yale undergraduates, and non-union city residents—in articulating a bold vision for building Union and community power to create good jobs and a stronger New Haven.

TYR Wrinkle Free Silicone Cap $9.95
Get speed wherever you can.
Non-allergenic, more protective against chlorine, greater longevity of use, the list goes on and on as to why silicone is superior to latex. For these reasons, and more, TYR created its Wrinkle Free Silicone Cap. With it, you obtain the benefits of the aforementioned, and due to its thicker composition, it also keeps your head warmer in outdoor race/training conditions. Additionally, the silicone material is more adaptable to complex shapes, and as a result, TYR was able to form this cap in order to provide more coverage, thus increasing your hydrodynamics in the water.
The TYR Wrinkle Free Silicone Cap is available in one size and in the colors Black, Fluorescent Pink, Green, Blue, Navy, Purple, Red, Silver, White, and Yellow.

Representatives from a downtown church agreed Wednesday to sell a portion of its property to make way for a new Marriott hotel.
Members of First Baptist Nashville voted to accept an offer from Giarantana Nashville, LLC, for property at the corner of Demonbreun Street and 8th Avenue South.
"Well, you know, they're not making any more land downtown," said the Rev. Frank Lewis, senior pastor at First Baptist Nashville. "We have an aging facility. Our church has been in existence for 193 years."
Plans are for a 400-room Marriott hotel and parking garage to be built across the street from the new Music City Center.
Church leaders said the sale will help accelerate their plan to expand their ministry.
The plan also comes at a good time for the two nonprofits leasing this space from the church, as both plan to grow.
Linda Leathers runs The Next Door, a residential program for women in crisis.
"We've grown all we can here. We believe the community's ready for us to expand, from 40 beds to 80. So, literally, the future's incredibly bright, so it is a win-win," Leathers said.
The nonprofit will soon build on land near Charlotte Avenue.
Now, if everything happens as planned, downtown Nashville will have yet another new hotel, and a church will have the greenlight to grow.
"We've tried our best to be a good neighbor to Nashville, and we want to fit in to this city. We want to look the part," Lewis said.
Neither the amount of the transaction between the church and developer, nor the total acreage, was not immediately disclosed.

safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals and ASSE members.
Founded in 1939, the Heart of America Chapter is based in the
Kansas City, MO area, in ASSE's Region V. They hold the distinction of being
the Society's tenth chapter.
Although the chapter is one of ASSE's oldest, that has not stopped
them from their efforts to further advance the SH&E profession within their
geographical area, and in 2010-11, they made a substantial effort to reach out
to other SH&E groups and stakeholders to help increase interaction and
networking opportunities.
Its 2011 chapter professional development conference (PDC), which
they co-sponsored with the local American Industrial Hygienist Association
(AIHA) drew its largest attendance in 2011, with 180 attendees and 43 vendors,
and included presentations from renowned regional and national speakers.
As a result of this success, the Heart of America Chapter was able
to take their portion of the proceeds and present $15,000 to the ASSE
Foundation (ASSEF), which generates
funding and provides resources for scholarships, applied research, academic
accreditation, and related academic initiatives in order to advance the SH&E profession. This resulted in the chapter's first fully
endowed scholarship which was awarded through the ASSEF.
In addition, Heart of America Chapter President Cory Rohs, CSP,
and Vice President Brittany Ohlemeyer recently initiated meetings with both
region and area directors of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) to seek greater partnership and interaction between staffs and chapter
members. As a result, OSHA and its field staff were invited and encouraged to
attend the chapter's monthly meetings and PDC.
Chapter leadership has also been in ongoing discussions with the
local chapter of the Certified National Health Nurses (COHN) about the
possibility of holding joint meetings in the months to come.
The Heart of America Chapter has not only been actively engaged in
advancing the SH&E profession, but they have also been extremely active in
helping their local community. In the summer of 2011, many members stepped
forward and volunteered to help victims and rescuers of the devastating tornado
in Joplin, MO. The chapter also donated large quantities of supplies, including
personal protective equipment (PPE) to the rescue effort.
All chapters who wish to be considered for the chapter of the year
awards must be nominated by their ASSE Regional Vice President and are chosen
based on their activities, application and information provided to the judging
committee. To be nominated, all chapters mush first earn a Chapter Star. The
Chapter Stars Recognition Program is intended to recognize chapters that give
their members superior service by providing quality programs designed to
advance the professional growth of their members, support their mission and
vision of ASSE and make a positive impact on the people, property and
environment in their community.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the oldest
professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property
and the environment. Its more than 34,000 occupational safety, health and
environmental professional members lead, manage, supervise, research and
consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all
industries, government, labor, healthcare and education. For more information please

G'morning, DC. Here's what everyone's been up to since yesterday…
Santorum: Rick Santorum officially withdrew himself as a Republican nominee, saying, "We made a decision over the weekend that, while this presidential race for us is over—for me—and we will suspend our campaign effective today, we are not done fighting." Which sounds vaguely like when Sarah Palin said the title of president would simply be a burden to her good fight. In other news, Gingrich stands strong, even though his $500 check for entry into the Utah primary bounced.
George Zimmerman: Zimmerman's attorneys said they're not going to represent him after all. Why? He's missing. No, really.
Doomsday: Legislators in Maryland have still failed to finish up the budget, but despite Governor O'Malley's apparent frustration with the General Assembly, he has yet to publicly call a special session to allow for final negotiations. Next up: a "doomsday" budget.
Tolls are the Future: For the Washingtonians that actually brave the Beltway each morning, surprise surprise, there are tolls in your future.
Vomitrocious: Alicia Silverstone defended her bird-like feeding choices, calling it "adorable." Also, the kid's name is Bear. What do you expect?
Nats: After five scoreless innings from breakout pitcher Ross Detwiler and Ryan Zimmerman's 500th RBI, the Nats officially handed the Mets their first loss of the season.

- Description
- Reviews
For the length of the East Coast of Australia are the mountains of the Great Dividing Range. It's a series of mountain ranges, plateaus and upland areas with a rich geological history of limestone, sandstone, quartzite and schist. Along with the perfect weather found here, this is a magical place to grow grapes. The diverse and rocky soils force the vines to run deep and, in doing so, continually pick up nutrients and spread them across the vine system. The soils also provide great drainage, preventing the vine from becoming over watered and thus producing watery grapes.
Lismore, a city on the Eastern Coast of Australia in New South Wales, benefits from being located just East of the Great Dividing Range. From the overflow of various rivers that run West to East, the unique landscape that covers the city of Lismore covers lush, green scenery, bright sunny days and a temperate climate. Produced just Couth of Lismore, in the wine making region of South Eastern Australia, Lismore Range Chardonnay embodies the diverse soil types of Australia as well as a fruit forward, fresh and approachable style.
Known as Australia's viticultural "super zone," South Eastern Australia hosts a variety of climates and soils, resulting in a large array of grape varieties of excellent quality. The 2013 vintage in South Eastern Australia was one of the earliest and shortest vintages in recent memory. A mix of hot weather and below average rainfall in the spring reduced grape yields. The heat wave that struck in mid-February jumpstarted harvest and assured no mold in the vineyards and a small crop that produced concentrated grapes.
Grapes used to produce this wine were harvested in early February and then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel vats to preserve delicate fruit flavors. Parts of the different sections were matured for five months in French oak. This selection is a pale straw color with hints of green. The nose shows a fresh display of lifted citrus, white peach and lime with a touch of oak. The palate possesses crisp lemon lime flavors complimented with white peach and delicate nutmeg nuances. The slight weightiness of the oak would match chicken fried steak and garlic mashed potatoes beautifully.

BU Today: Latest Headlines
- SPH's Bicknell Lecture: To Drink or Not to Drink? September 23, 2014Over the past 30 years, more than 100 studies have shown positive cardiovascular effects from moderate alcohol consumption, defined as one or two drinks a day. But whether those studies warrant a larger public health message encouraging moderate drinking is a subject of intense debate in scientific circles. Proponents say physicians and others should portray […]
- New Pardee School of Global Studies: Custodian of Old and Cherished Traditions September 23, 2014When the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies officially opened at the start of this semester, Adil Najam, the school's inaugural dean, found himself pondering a particularly gratifying paradox. "This is a newest school on campus," said Najam, "and yet we are custodians of some of BU's oldest and most cherished traditions." One of […]
- MOOC Probes a War You've Never Heard Of September 23, 2014Here's something you probably don't know: the United States has been fighting a losing war for 34 years. We can't win it, and getting out will require a shift in mind-set, with Americans seeing things from the eyes of those who are variously our enemies and our allies in this war. Didn't see this epochal […]
- YouSpeak: What Is Sexual Consent? September 22, 2014California recently became the first state in the nation to pass a bill defining sexual consent on college campuses. If Governor Jerry Brown signs the legislation (he has until the end of the month), the state would require all colleges and universities to set a standard of "affirmative consent" for sexual activity. Both parties would […]
- A Celebratory Alumni Weekend September 22, 2014If you'd dropped by the BU Beach on a Saturday morning 25 years ago, you'd likely have seen a group of Shelton Hall (now Kilachand Hall) buddies tossing a football. Much at Boston University has changed since then, but this past Saturday the men passing the football behind Marsh Chapel—and even the pigskin itself—were the […]

18 U.S. Code § 663 - Solicitation or use of gifts
Whoever solicits any gift of money or other property, and represents that such gift is being solicited for the use of the United States, with the intention of embezzling, stealing, or purloining such gift, or converting the same to any other use or purpose, or whoever, having come into possession of any money or property which has been donated by the owner thereof for the use of the United States, embezzles, steals or purloins such money or property, or converts the same to any other use or purpose, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 731; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K),Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on section 641e of title 50, App. U.S.C., 1940 ed., War and National Defense (Mar. 27, 1942, 3 p. m., E. W. T., c. 199, Title XI, § 1106,56 Stat. 184).
This section was taken from the Second War Powers Act of 1942, which was temporary legislation. However, the subject matter was so independent of the war effort as to warrant its inclusion in this title as a permanent provision.
Words "shall be guilty of a felony" were omitted. See Reviser's Note under section 550 of this title.
Words "and upon conviction thereof" were omitted as unnecessary since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
1994—Pub. L. 103–322substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $5,000".
The table below lists the classification updates, since Jan. 3, 2012, for this section. Updates to a broader range of sections may be found at the update page for containing chapter, title, etc.
The most recent Classification Table update that we have noticed was Tuesday, August 13, 2013
An empty table indicates that we see no relevant changes listed in the classification tables. If you suspect that our system may be missing something, please double-check with the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.

Enjoy our round-up of ten mobile phone related news stories you may have missed including the Nexus 4′s Android 4.4 update, the world's first 128GB phone, and the Microsoft/Nokia deal being approved.
1. Nexus 4 Owners Report Android 4.4 Update Arrival
Although it hasn't been announced by Google, some Nexus 4 owners are reporting an update to Android KitKat has been sent through to their phones. Google confirmed the update would arrive on the Nexus 4, but hasn't provided a time for it to do so. However, last week it confirmed the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 would soon be seeing the new software, and also said the Nexus 4 would follow soon afterwards.
2. World's First 128GB Phone Launches in China
You may not have heard of Meizu, a Chinese smartphone brand, but it has sent ripples through the industry this week with the MX3, the world's first phone to come with a massive 128GB of internal memory. This is twice what we're used to, and a figure which can only be matched by unusual phones with 64GB internally, and a big microSD card. The phone won't be leaving China though, so we'll have to wait for another firm to give us our first taste of such memory.
3. Take a Closer Look at the BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9982
BlackBerry launched the P'9882 earlier this week, but as is often the way with luxury phones, the pictures don't do the design much justice. It has now released a brief video highlighting the visual differences between it and the Z10, along with a closer look at the special features. The phone has a 4.2-inch screen, a dual-core processor, and a swanky stainless steel body, complete with an Italian leather rear panel. You can take a look at it below.
4. Android 4.4 for the HTC One Coming in 2014
HTC UK has tweeted about the eagerly awaiting Android 4.4 KitKat update for the HTC One. According to the message, the company is working with networks at the moment, and is aiming to have the new version heading out on to UK phones at the end of January next year. It'll be accompanied by HTC Sense 5.5.
5. Microsoft/Nokia is a Done Deal
Although the sale of Nokia's Devices division to Microsoft had already been announced, the deal was still subject to approval by Nokia's board and shareholders. Approval has now been given, with a huge 99.7 percent voting for the sale. The few who didn't approve were apparently upset with Nokia losing its Finnish roots.
6. MediaTek Announces an Octa-Core Processor
MediaTek, an up and coming producer of reasonably priced mobile processors, has announced an octa-core processor, which is capable of running all eight cores at the same time. The MT6592 chip uses eight Cortex A7 cores, and can run at speeds up to 2GHz, as well as support full HD screen resolutions and 16-megapixel cameras.
7. Smartwatches Not a Popular Xmas Present, Says Gartner
Research firm Gartner has reported it's not expecting a great rush for smartwatches this Christmas, saying customers find them not only too expensive, but lacking in style too. Apparently, those wanting to try on some wearable tech will instead look at fitness tracking wristbands like Nike's FuelBand. Gartner says firms must lower prices and improve designs before mainstream audiences pay attention to smartwatches. Nevertheless, if you are thinking of buying a smartwatch for anyone this Christmas, take a look at our review of the Samsung Galaxy Gear below.
8. Zopo ZP998 First to Use MediaTek's Octa-Core Chip
Chinese manufacturer Zopo hasn't wasted any time in getting MediaTek's MT6952 octa-core processor into a smartphone. The ZP988 has a 5.5-inch, 1080p screen, an unusual 14-megapixel camera, and that eight-core chip, which runs at 1.7GHz. Other features include 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, NFC and a 5-megapixel video call lens. It's set for release before the end of the year.
9. Nokia's Asha 501 Gets WhatsApp
Nokia didn't include the popular cross-platform messenger WhatsApp as standard on the Asha 501, but has now rectified its oversight by releasing the app separately. Owners won't need to do much to get it either, as it'll be coming to the phone through an over-the-air software update.
10. Huawei Ascend P6S Leaks
The sequel to Huawei's Ascend P6 has been leaked in picture form. We'd already heard a little about the specification, but now we've got a look at the phone itself. Visually, Huawei doesn't seem to have changed the look of the phone at all, but if the information is correct, it may have got slightly thicker. The leak also shows the phone coming with a quad-core processor, rather than the eight-core chip we were expecting. We'll have to wait until the official announcement to see which source gets it right.

Birch Bay opens up visitor center
The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce opened a new visitor information center earlier this week in the Trend West building in the 7800 block of Birch Bay Drive. Chamber president Geneé Haws Kay said that "it's nice to get this going, we've been talking about it for some time."
Kay said that John Cooper of the Bellingham-Whatcom County Convention & Visitors Bureau was helpful in launching the center. "He spoke to (the chamber) a couple of weeks ago and afterward came by to look at the place," Kay said, " and then said that he'd suggest to his board that they help us out with a little seed money."
Before long, Cooper's agency sent $2,500 to the chamber as seed money. Matt Brennan, manager of World Mark properties that operates out of the same building complex, organized volunteers to paint the interior of Suite C, the last door on the right as you enter the building's central breezeway from Birch Bay Drive. Kay said that volunteers Reneé Cooper, Maureen Kelly and Shelley Olason dressed up the bare walls with muslin drapes and fishnet on the back wall to give the small office a Birch Bay kind of look.
"This is now the office for the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce and the visitor information center," Kay said proudly. She said that people will be there "between 12 and 5 p.m. until the summer season begins, when they'll be open every day from 10 until 5."
The Visitor Information Center has two bright blue signs on vertical posts it shares with other businesses and a street sign outside the building on the sidewalk when someone's in the office. Kay's son Cory Anderson painted the new signs last week. Signs advertising the Beachcomber Trailer Park were hand made by her dad, Wynn Haws, in the 1980s when he was about 75.
Kay said that as a girl in Blaine, "Birch Bay was where we all met as kids. It was all little cabins and had a 10 mph speed limit, and in the winter was deader than a doornail." She added that a skating rink was a favorite gathering place, located almost exactly where her office now sits. "We'd water ski in the bay, and ride on what we called surf boards, plywood boards with a rope through the front that we'd tow with a boat."
The physical address of the center is the same as Trend West, 4880 Beachcomber Drive, Suite C, and the phone is 371-5004. The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce web site is www.birchbaychamber.com.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
March 24, 2010
This afternoon CBO released a report presenting its analysis of the budgetary proposals contained in the President's budget request for fiscal year 2011. This report provides more detail than the preliminary analysis that CBO released on March 5, which was discussed in a blog entry that same day. Our latest report differs slightly from the earlier one because it incorporates the impact of some legislation that has recently been enacted. It reflects the revenue and spending estimates that the President included in his budget for major health care legislation, but it does not incorporate the specific effects of the health care bill that was signed into law yesterday. It also includes an analysis of the potential effects on the economy of the President's budgetary proposals and the impact of those economic effects on the federal budget.
As a reminder, this analysis presents CBO's assessment of the budgetary outlook for the 2010-2020 period assuming enactment of the President's policy proposals and reflecting CBO's economic forecast and technical estimating procedures. The analysis compares that outlook with CBO's baseline projections, which—unlike the President's budget—assume that current laws and policies that affect federal spending and revenues remain unchanged
CBO's analysis indicates that if the President's proposals were enacted:
- The federal government would record deficits of $1.5 trillion in 2010 and $1.3 trillion in 2011. Those deficits would amount to 10.3 percent and 8.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), respectively. (The deficit in 2009 totaled 9.9 percent of GDP.) Compared with CBO's current-law baseline projections, deficits under the President's proposals would be about 2 percentage points of GDP higher in fiscal years 2011 and 2012, 1.3 percentage points greater in 2013, and above baseline levels by growing amounts thereafter. By 2020, the deficit would reach 5.6 percent of GDP, compared with 3.0 percent under CBO's baseline projections.
- Under the President's budget, debt held by the public would grow from $7.5 trillion (53 percent of GDP) at the end of 2009 to $20.3 trillion (90 percent of GDP) at the end of 2020, about $5 trillion more than under the assumptions underlying the baseline. Net interest would more than quadruple from 1.4 percent of GDP in 2010 to 4.1 percent in 2020 in nominal dollars (without an adjustment for inflation).
- Revenues under the President's proposals would be $1.4 trillion (or 4 percent) below CBO's baseline projections from 2011 to 2020, largely because of the President's proposals to index the thresholds for the alternative minimum tax for inflation starting at their 2009 levels and to extend many of the tax reductions enacted in 2001 and 2003 that are scheduled to expire at the end of 2010. Other proposals in the President's budget—including those associated with significant changes in the nation's health insurance system—would, on net, increase revenues.
- Mandatory outlays under the President's proposals would be above CBO's baseline projections by $1.9 trillion (or 8 percent) over the 2011–2020 period, about one-third of which would stem from net additional spending related to proposed changes to the health insurance system and health care programs. Discretionary spending under the President's budget would be about $0.3 trillion (or 2 percent) lower than the cumulative amount between 2011 and 2020 in CBO's baseline, reflecting reduced funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The President's budgetary proposals would have effects on the economy, which would in turn influence the budget through changes in such factors as taxable income (which affects the amount of revenues collected), employment (which determines outlays for programs like unemployment compensation), and interest rates (which affect the government's borrowing costs). Estimates of economic effects depend on many specific assumptions, and there are several approaches to estimating those effects, so CBO used a number of different models to project the impact on the economy of enacting the President's proposals. There is, however, a high degree of uncertainty about the economic effects of government policies, so the ranges of possible budget effects are quite wide.
In sum, CBO's analysis of the interactions between the budget and the economy indicates the following:
- For 2011 to 2015, CBO estimates that the President's proposals would raise real (inflation-adjusted) output relative to that under the assumptions in CBO's baseline by between 0.9 percent and 1.2 percent, on average. Those estimates incorporate both supply-side effects (influences on the economy's potential output) and demand-side effects (temporary movements of actual output relative to potential output).
- For 2016 to 2020, CBO estimates that the President's proposals would lower real output relative to CBO's baseline assumptions by between 0.4 percent and 1.4 percent, on average. Those estimates incorporate only supply-side effects because the magnitude of demand-side effects depends on the state of the economy, which is difficult to predict over longer horizons. In addition, the Federal Reserve might offset the effect of policies that are foreseen well in advance in order to maintain economic stability.
- CBO estimates that the economic feedback from the President's proposals would reduce their cumulative cost over the period from 2011 through 2015—estimated to be about $1.4 trillion excluding any aggregate economic effects—by between 2 percent and 14 percent. From 2016 to 2020, the effects of the proposals on the economy would increase their cumulative cost (estimated to be about $2.3 trillion, excluding any aggregate economic effects) by as much as 6 percent or reduce it by as much as 2 percent.
CBO has not modified its economic forecast since January, but the agency updated its baseline budget projections early in March to take into account some legislation that has been enacted since the completion of the previous baseline in January 2010 as well as new information obtained about various aspects of the budget since then. The resulting changes, relative to CBO's January projections, are modest, adding $20 billion to the projected deficit in 2010 and reducing projected deficits over the 2011–2020 period by a total of $57 billion.

Orthopaedics at CDH
WINFIELD, Ill., July 11, 2011 – Although the 202 new private rooms at Central DuPage Hospital (CDH) won't officially host their first patients until early August, the entire community can get a sneak peek at the new expansion during CDH's free "Project Move" event and open house on Sunday, July 17.
Kicking off the day with the CDH Winfield Run at 8 a.m., CDH will offer tours of the new facility, as well as a variety of free fitness activities and art projects from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its main campus at 25 North Winfield Road. To mark the occasion, 1985 Chicago Champions Dan Hampton, Gary Fencik and Otis Wilson will be on hand to celebrate with the community and sign autographs.
Children of all ages can appreciate an outdoor exhibit of more than 100 "sneakers" made of removable biodegradable material. The sneakers were designed by CDH pediatric patients, under the direction of CDH Child Life Specialists Dora Castro-Ahillen and Trina Krischon. Others were created by art students of David Exner and Megan Dulkinys from neighboring Community High School in West Chicago. Replica sneakers also will be displayed in the windows of the new expansion.
While attending the event, guests will be invited to decorate 1,000 pairs of real sneakers CDH purchased to donate to Medical Mission Outreach, a medical equipment and supply recovery and distribution program. These pieces of practical artwork will go to children in areas where medical personnel are volunteering to work with underserved patients throughout the world.

If you know anything about these fugitives, you can earn up to $1,000 by calling Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS. All information below courtesy of Crime Stoppers.
Daniel Andres – accused of raping a four year old girl while her mother was in a nearby room
Jason Baker – on the run for dealing drugs on the streets of Collier County
Arielle Lenhart – A 25 year old repeat offender wanted for violating her probation following an arrest for theft
Yahira Pacheco – A Lehigh Acres woman who tried to make a quick buck selling counterfeit DVDs out of her car
We're starting off our list this week with a man accused of trying to rape a four year old girl, while her mother was just a few rooms away.
According to reports, the victim was in the bathroom, when Daniel Andres followed her in, threw her down on the floor and removed all of her clothing. Andres attempted to rape the young girl, however was unsuccessful.
As the victim was being attacked, she screamed – prompting her mom to run to the bathroom, where she saw Andres running out of the room with the little girls shirt, skirt and underpants in hand.
Deputies immediately arrested Andres on scene, and he spent just over a year in jail for the crime, but was eventually released. Now, he's on the run for violating terms of his sex offender probation.
Last known to be living in central Fort Myers, Andres will be held without bond upon his arrest.burglary, escape and aggravated assault on a pregnant victim, among others.
And in Collier County, deputies are on the hunt for Jason Baker, wanted for violating probation following an arrest for the possession of marijuana with the intent to sell it on the streets.
Baker is a repeat offender, with a history of drug charges in Naples, coupled with an extensive history in California which includes jail time for conspiracy, vandalism, threatening with the intent to terrorize and the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Baker may have left the area, but all we need is that one tip to bring him back home to face justice. Baker is 6'0", 180 pounds and has a tattoo of a face on his right arm and a robed skeleton on his left.
Also trying to evade the long arm of the law this Friday afternoon is Arielle Lenhart, a Lehigh Acres woman with an extensive criminal record both in Lee and Collier Counties.
As an adult, this 25 year old registered convicted felon has been arrested 16 times, on a wide array of charges. Among her criminal malfunctions are five separate counts of domestic violence or battery, several theft charges, robbery by sudden snatching, drug possession, grand theft auto and trying to smuggle contraband into the jail, among many others.
Lenhart was just released from state community control supervision less than four months ago, and already, she's blown her chance for freedom by violating terms of her probation. Lenhart is 5'5", 145 pounds and has several tattoos, including the name Jacinda and a rainbow on her neck, a cross on her left arm and the shadow of the devil on her left leg. Upon her arrest, she will be held without bond in the Lee County Jail.
And rounding out our list is a fugitive who hasn't learned her lesson, despite several arrests. Yahira Pacheco is wanted for violating terms of her community control on the heels of an arrest for selling counterfeit DVD's.
Her troubles started when she and a friend tried to make a quick buck by selling more than 440 fake DVDs out of the trunk of a car at the Lehigh Wal Mart. The friend, whose nickname was ironically "Bootleg," obtained the fraudulent DVDs for $1 each, then resold them for $5. Pachecho and "Bootleg" had an agreement to split the profits 50/50, but their plan was quickly foiled when law enforcement showed up.
In total, this 31 year old fugitive has racked up eight arrests in Lee County, and several others in Orange County, on charges including two counts of aggravated battery, dealing in stolen property, grand theft and retail theft. Pachecho was last seen earlier this week in Lehigh, and chances are, she's still close to home. Pachecho has tattoos all over her body, including her kids names on her neck, a fairy with a rose on her left arm, and an angel and a moon on her right.
And, as always, if you know the whereabouts of any of today's featured fugitives, grab your phone and call Crime Stoppers at 1 – 800 – 780 – TIPS. You WILL remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

State and federal wildlife biologists have pretty much given up hope of eradicating some exotic species invading Florida such as the lionfish, tegu lizard, and Burmese python.
But they feel like they still have a chance to knock out another: the Northern African python.
Growing larger than the notorious Burmese and with a nastier disposition, the snake also known as the African rock python was first spotted in South Florida in 2002 — probably an abandoned pet. About 30 have been found over the past five years, mainly around the C-4 levee north of Tamiami Trail, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wildlife biologist Jennifer Eckles.
While Eckles said there's no estimate of the population, the snakes may be confined to about a 10-square-mile area north and south of the Trail east of Krome Avenue.
"It doesn't seem like they are spreading outside this range," Eckles said.
"The fact that they haven't been found in Everglades National Park makes us think they are confined to this area," she said. "We haven't found any hatchlings in a long time. We haven't found any hatched eggs. The females we've found had unfertilized eggs, so we're hoping we've already impacted their population enough that they're having a hard time trying to reproduce."
Eckles and colleagues from the U.S. Geological Survey, University of Florida, Miami-Dade County, South Florida Water Management District and Everglades National Park conduct regular searches, including one Friday covering about a half-mile of the C-4 levee.
Armed with snake hooks, they patrolled the levee road and its banks, looking under rocks and piles of melaleuca timber.
"You look for that iridescent shine," said Liz Barraco, the Fish and Wildlife's exotic pet amnesty program coordinator.
But searchers came up empty-handed.
"These weren't necessarily ideal weather conditions," Barraco said. "After a cool night and a warm morning, you are likely to catch them basking."
If the hunt had been successful, Eckles said, snakes would have been euthanized and studied. So far, their stomach contents have included Muscovy ducks, raccoons and opossums.
While Northern African pythons can grow to 20 feet, the largest found in Florida so far measured 14 feet. A Florida law adopted in 2010 prohibits keeping them as pets.
Eckles said anyone who comes upon a suspected python –– African or Burmese — should keep a safe distance, take a picture and report it to the state's hotline at 111-IVEGOT1.

Trooper Delano G. Powell Memorial Highway
(Campbellsburg, Kentucky) - The Kentucky State Police Commissioner Patrick Simpson and the family of Trooper Delano G. Powell unveiled a sign dedicating US-42 starting at the Jefferson County line running to the Trimble County line as "Trooper Delano G. Powell Memorial Highway".
Trooper Powell was shot and killed while serving a warrant in Breathitt County on July 08, 1965. Trooper Powell was a State Trooper for 18 months and was assigned the Post-13 in Hazard. Trooper Powell was a native of Henry County.
This roadway was named as a result of passage of Senate Bill 18 by the 2002 Kentucky General Assembly and was signed into law on March 20, 2002, by Governor Paul E. Patton. Senators David Karem and Paul Herron were instrumental in passage of this bill honoring all Kentucky State Police officers killed in the line of duty.
The dedication ceremony will take place in Henry County on July 01, 2003 at 10:00am next to the Bedford Loan and Deposit Bank on US-42 in Sligo, Kentucky.

Thursday December 19, 2013
Louisville – The Metro Council is happy to announce that 2014 is a year of restoration for residents in the Urban Services District: an additional junk pickup and street sweeping have been added to the Metro Public Works schedule for the coming year.
"After years of seeing services cut due to tight budget times, the Metro Council made it a priority in this year's budget to restore junk pick up and street sweeping," said Councilwoman Marianne Butler (D-15), who chairs the Council's Budget Committee. "The Council gave Public Works the task of making sure this happens by asking them to be creative with $400,000 and see what they could do to make an impact."
Metro Council designated $400,000 in 2013-2014 Operating Budget to restore either junk pickups or street sweeping in the USD. In September, Public Works reported back to the Council its plan for restoring the services which included hiring more crews for pickup, adjusting route schedules and needed equipment purchases.
"The restoration of services in the Urban Services District has been a priority of this Council and we are pleased that Public Works was able to provide an additional junk pick-up and street sweeping," said President Jim King (D-10). "Cleaner neighborhoods lead to a better quality of life for the residents and community."
"The financial management of the city continues to improve which allows more stability in services provided to the community," said Councilman Kelly Downard (R-16)
"Merged government was approved under the promise that no new taxes would be raised or services cut," says Councilwoman Mary C. Woolridge (D-3). "I am glad that the Council is restoring part of the services that were cut."
Notices of the 2014 pickup schedule will soon be in the mail to homeowners and businesses owners within the USD. The schedule will reflect the two junk pick up dates.
Residents can go online to Louisvilleky.gov and search the 311 Service Lookup Box to see the new dates for junk collection on their street. Residents can also sign up to have a text sent to their cell phone to remind them of the collection time for their street.
"We hope adding these extra junk collection dates may deter some of the illegal dumping we are seeing in the USD," says Butler.
Cracking down on illegal dumping is another priority the Council has championed over the last several years.
Since 2011, Council members have funded the purchase of several surveillance cameras that Solid Waste Management is using to catch illegal dumping. The cameras are mobile, have the ability to get clear photos the entire length of an alleyway and are rotated throughout many areas of the city where illegal dumping is a problem.
The Council has also enacted a tough ordinance which impounds any vehicle used in the act of illegal dumping. The owner of the impounded vehicle is cited with an illegal dumping fine, must pay cleanup cost, towing and daily storage fees for the vehicle. Metro may keep the vehicle for up to 12 months.
The same ordinance also allows citizens to photograph or record illegal dumping and then report the act to law enforcement and/or Solid Waste Management for prosecution which can lead to impounding the vehicle.

Q&A: What if the line on my pregnancy test isn't very dark?
I found out that I was pregnant about two weeks ago. Although I have not been to my OB-GYN yet, by mine and my family doctor's calculations, I am a little over 8 weeks along (counting from the first day of my last period). I did another pregnancy test this morning just for my own piece of mind, since this first trimester can be a trying time on your nerves to say the least. The test was positive, but the line was not that dark. I have been drinking a lot of water. Could that affect it? Does it really matter if the line is not that dark? It was a distinct line. Am I being too paranoid? You probably guessed that I'm a first time Mom. I'm just so excited, and I want everything to be ok. Can you ease my fears?
Dilution of urine with a lot of hydration can definitely affect the intensity of the line. But if there's any question, a blood test that actually counts the amount of HCG molecule is the way to go, specifically, two in a row showing a rise.

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson said this morning that Obamacare is going to "explode" the deficit and lead to health care rationing.
"The cost estimate of Obamacare is grossly understated," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I think far more people are going to lose their employee-sponsored health care because there are incentives for employers to drop the coverage and make their employees eligible for huge subsidies in the exchanges. I think this is going to explode our deficit, it will lead to rationing, lower quality care — here's the basic economic problem with it."
"Why will it lead to rationing?" asked host Joe Scarborough.
"Because it dramatically increases the demand for health care, thirty million Americans getting health care, kind of through a medicaid process, while it dramatically reduces the supply," Johnson said. "It's an economic disaster."

Window Seats You Can Sleep In
Back from a relaxing break, we're thinking about, well, relaxing. These window seats are made for taking it easy: they're deep enough to lay down and read or take a nap. Follow the jump for more window seats you can sleep in...

Lie down, not "lay" down. Transitive verbs are very easy to understand; I don't know why so many people consistently make that mistake.
Sorry, that is one of my pet peeves.
No reason to get feisty over a simple verb usage error!
Anyways, These are really cool! I don't like the basement one though. It looks like a dungeon!
Oh i think i'm in the wrong place- i was looking for a blog about APARTMENTS and DECORATIONS not the blog for Vocabulary Nazis.
love the window beds- looks like a fantastic getaway without leaving home!
That would be a great idea for a studio apartment.

I've just recently got into Turisas and I find them pretty cool. So far, I've only listened to their debut album, as well as their new songs which are available for streaming on the Internetz. Pretty good stuff! (Especially "Stand Up And Fight" itself which is a killer!)
Written by Gurth Bennas on 04.03.2011 at 09:07
Wow, I just got "Stand up and fight" album 3 days ago. it's great, a beautiful symphonic battle folk metal album!! there are a few albums that I like every track of it, and this album is one of them. it's really more interesting than the other albums of Turisas.
Written by Perculees on 03.12.2011 at 02:03
I first heard Turisas live supporting Dragonforce and I had never even heard of them before. They blew my mind, I went from standing at the back with a drink to right at the front and even though i didn't know a single song it was one of the best live shows i have ever seen, and when they did fuck the guitar solo i was hooked. I love how their songs work as stand alones yet the Varangian way and Stand up and fight tell a story, i love stories!
