Coach Ed Alvarado said it's a good thing God's plan prevailed over his, or no telling what would have happened.
He's not in prison and he's not dead.
Sometimes he roams the streets looking for kids smoking dope. He invites them to the gym.
Christopher Lopez has lived in Deltona since the age of six. He attended Deltona Elementary School, Galaxy Middle School and Pine Ridge High School.
The 24-year old said he might have been one of those kids Mr. Alvarado is talking about if not for Taino Boxing Academy.
Instead he's a professional fighter with a record of 5-0; two of those wins were by knockout. As an amateur, he won seven Florida State Championships.
"Taino keeps me out of drugs, out of the streets and teaches me respect, honor, how to stay out of trouble," he said. "I follow my family's tradition, honoring God."
Mr. Lopez comes from a family of boxers. He said his father, uncle, brother and cousins have all boxed.
His uncle, Irving Rodriguez, a retired Air Force Chief, was a member of the U.S. Olympic Boxing Team back in the '70s. He fought Hector "Macho" Camacho in Las Vegas, Mr. Lopez said.
"He didn't win the fight because Camacho head butted him," Mr. Lopez said smiling.
Taino Boxing Academy is in Deltona's Campbell Park. It is licensed through USA Boxing, the national governing body for Olympic-style amateur boxing. Mr. Alvarado said there are no joining fees or dues, and there is essentially no operating account.
"We don't have any funds from anyone," he said. "When they can, the kids chip in $15 for water."
He said the City of Deltona provides the building and the utilities, and he is grateful for that.
"I'm not one to promote any politician," he said. "But I gotta say 'hats off' to Mayor (John) Masiarczyk. He and some of the commissioners helped us stay here when the city wanted us out."
He's referring to some issues raised in 2011. Deltona City Commissioners became concerned with potential liability to the city and with Mr. Alvarado's past. He was arrested on a variety of charges over several years.
"Hey, I'm no angel," Mr. Alvarado said. "But I know we've kept more than one kid out of jail in the last 10 years."
He said personal experience helps him help the community's at-risk youth.
Ultimately the commission voted 4-3 in favor of letting the boxing training facility stay.
Mr. Alvarado started boxing 51 years ago. He said he wasn't very good, but he's always loved the sport. That love has spilled over into the community.
"Our main objective here is to get these young cats right," he said. "This is a tough sport. It's not for everybody. If you can discipline yourself to do this, you can achieve anything you want in life. You can't fail."
Since turning pro, Mr. Lopez travels between Deltona and Arizona, where he boxes in the lightweight division for Iron Boy Promotions.
But the little gym in Campbell Park is home.
"Here, it's peaceful," he said. "At other gyms trainers watch me. They want to challenge me with their fighters. Here, everyone is very friendly and focused on training. We help each other as a team of Taino Boxing Academy."
Mr. Lopez gestured toward the small boxing ring at the front of the room.
"We have a little area but we share the space, the ring, together ... teamwork," he said smiling.
There are many coaches at Taino.
One of them, whom Mr. Alvarado referred to only as "Coach Andy," regularly drives a 13-year-old boy named George to and from the gym.
Mr. Alvarado said George suffers from autism and that the 6-foot tall, 220-pound boy's father told coaches that before joining Taino, George would sit in front of the television all day.
"He's a good kid. He hugs everybody several times when he's here. We have to remind him he's here to fight," Mr. Alvarado said, laughing. "He's a great kid!"
The minimum age to box at Taino is eight.
"I've gone to city hall many times and said so many times, 'Why wait until they're incarcerated?'" he said. "Get 'em before the cops do."
Mr. Lopez said the speed drills, power drills and boxing drills, all done in "sequential formation, military style," help teach discipline and more.
Mr. Alvarado does not put in easy days.
The 57-year-old construction manager said the gym is open six nights a week from 5 to 9 p.m.
"At the end of the day, aside from keeping them out of trouble, we get them in the best shape of their life."

Hi, this is amalloc of SamBakZa.
This is the last episode of "There She Is!!" series.
I'm very happy for that I can completed this series as I thought.
"There She Is!!" was not a series when I make first one.
I didn't have any plan to make this as a series.
I surprised at all the letters, reviews, cheers, donations, fan arts and the others!!
It make me to draw more "There She Is!!".
So, thank you very much to NG, Tom, and all fans.
Thank you for giving me happy 5 years.
I hope you have a good time with this short animation.

While it did take some time to get used to this change in feel, this dramatic turn in tone really puts life to the story. The first ones were great, don't get me wrong, but this actually puts a story behind this relationship, and it really sparks my interest.
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 22, 2014
All these "There she is!!" video's were one by one so damn good. I've now watched them all for the 3th time, and still the tears roll and the chills run over my skin. You've done so well, and you should be very proud of this great work. Well done and thank you for sharing such greatness with us all.

The Riesling grape is considered by many wine lovers to be the finest of German Grape varieties, and
Blue Nun's Riesling uses them to superb effect. It's fragrant, fruity, crisp and lively. Good with meats and
fish. Once again, versatile enough to go with most things. And because it's very light, refreshing wine, you
can enjoy it as an apéritif. Or drink it any time you like.
Other regions of Germany that are producing and exporting wine to the US are the Pfaltz and Nahe. The Pfaltz region, south of the Rheingau, is making both Riesling and Gewurztraminer. These white wines are generally of excellent value. The fruit character is a bit more zingy and the acidity less sharp than the Mosel & Rheingau wines. So while often not as complex, still very...Read More About Other German
The Riesling grape is happiest in a cooler climate, one that fosters its slow

is a fascinating grape of many faces. From bone dry to lusciously sweet, this
variety is delicious at any sugar level with its intense aromas and steely acidity.

It was magical.
I can't remember where I found this picture, but I think it's incredible. So peaceful and serene.

Web 2.0: Pottymouth 1.0 Sanitizes User Input
Version 1.0 of Pottymouth, a Python module for HTML processsing has just been released. The tool helps sanitize user input from websites.
The mathematician and linguist Matt Chisholm designed the tool for any scenario in which untrained or untrusted users are allowed to enter HTML code or text: blogs, forums, web mailers, Web 2.0 applications and the like. Pottymouth sanitizes anything that could endanger the layout or security of a web application.
For example, the Python module prevents users from injecting Javascript via Iframe or script tags, event handler attributes or "javascript:" links, thus preventing scripting and cross site scripting attacks on websites and their users. Pottymouth attempts to protect the site layout by removing style tags, CSS input, and attributes such as "height" and "width". At the same time, it converts markups indicated in plain text ("*bold*") or lists into correct HTML and adds an HTTP prefix to "www" links
A source code archive, Debian and RPM packages of version 1.0 are available under the BSD license from the Pottymouth homepage, as is an online demonstration for potential users to test.

|HESS Collaboration(s)
|The H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) phase I is comprised of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, for observation of galactic and cosmic sources of very high energy gamma rays. Its installation in the Khomas highlands, Namibia has been completed in December, 2003. The first of these telescopes was installed in June 2003, and data-taking has proceeded since that time. The HESS telescope system provides a significant improvement in sensitivity and a threshold for detection below that of previous Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. The characteristics for the phase-I will be presented, together with plans for phase-II of the experiment, comprised of a large telescope in the centre of the current phase-I providing a lowered threshold and increased sensitivity. We can observe AGNs up to redshift 0.5 with HESS and 2-3 with HESS Phase-2, which provides a unique capability for study of spectral and temporal characteristics on timescales of several hours or even less than 1 h (depending on the strength of flares). We will present the first results from a number of southern AGN observed during the installation of the phase-I, in particular concerning the detection and spectral properties of the AGN PKS2155$-$305.

The flooding is over, but the work is just beginning for Salem City Streets crews who spent most of the morning cleaning up debris and working to reopen closed roads as quickly as possible.
From washed out, to covered in debris, then all clear again, the low water bridge along Mill Lane saw a high amount of action in 24 hours.
According to the National Weather Service, the Roanoke River crested at 9.9 feet in that particular area Thursday, which is nearly three feet above flood stage. That pushed the raging water up and over the sides of the bridge and forced drivers to find an alternate route to get across.
Overnight, the flooding stopped -- but left mud, logs, large sticks, and all kinds of debris scattered all over the bridge and road.
At 7:15 Friday morning, the first city crew arrived and got to work clearing it. It began with a visual inspection to make sure the bridge was structurally sound. Once that was done, a backhoe showed up to push and lift some of the heavier debris out of the way.
After that, a whole team from the City Streets Department joined in, clearing debris from the sides of the bridge, using snow blowers to blow mud and small debris away, and sweeping the street clean.
City spokesperson Mike Stevens says these crews have had plenty of practice doing cleanup in this area and have found that an "all hands on deck" approach works the best and the quickest.
Mill Lane and the bridge were clear and reopened to traffic before 8:20am.
Stevens says most of the affected areas along East and West Riverside were worked on and reopened by 11:00am.
SHE SAID: I'm kind of on the fence with "Calvary," between full price and matinee.

"Danialle and I are so pleased and gratified to be honored tonight," Peter Karmanos said. "More than that, we really appreciate the help and money that the Institute's friends and supporters raise, which will go towards saving someone's life. Karmanos doctors are truly heroes and do everything to bring patients more life and more hope."
Partners is a combination of two fundraising events that support cancer research. The 20th Annual Partners Golf Classic took place Sept. 9 at Franklin Hills Country Club. Guests took part in a competitive golf scramble, silent auction, lunch reception and an awards dinner. The 20th Annual Partners Night took place Oct. 5 at The Fillmore Detroit. Guests enjoyed a strolling dinner presented by Forte Belanger, raffle presented by Somerset Collection, live auction, musical entertainment by the Vagabonds of Vaudeville and special guest comedian J Chris Newberg. Detroit-based musician and actor Dan John Miller served as emcee.
The live auction raised $33,000 for the Institute. Live auction items included: an Enchanted Afternoon Tea party at the home of Danialle and Peter Karmanos, Jr.; tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl; VIP tickets to the NCAA Final Four Championship; a Thanksgiving Day package to watch the Detroit Lions take on the Green Bay Packers from the Quicken Loans Dream Seats; and a downtown Detroit family skating party for 12 at Campus Martius with Detroit Red Wings' Chris Chelios as the personal instructor. Partners event sponsor Quicken Loans donated a second Dream Seats package during the live auction featuring four Quicken Loans Dream Seats to a Detroit Lions Monday night football game at Ford Field. Guests also had a chance to win a raffle for a $5,000 gift card from Somerset Collection.
"Partners Night is one of the preeminent fundraisers in metro Detroit and an event not to be missed by those who are philanthropically minded," said Gerold Bepler, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO, Karmanos Cancer Institute. "The kind of research that Karmanos scientists are known for wouldn't be possible without the very generous benefactors who attend Partners Night and the Golf Classic.
"It is a heart-warming testament to the generosity of our community that we can raise the kind of monetary support that we do to recruit the best and brightest faculty. In having these brilliant scientists on staff at Karmanos, we can pave the way to a brighter future for all our cancer patients."
Over the past 20 years, Partners, a group of hands-on volunteers, have raised more than $13.5 million through the Partners events to support the Karmanos Cancer Institute's exceptional state-of-the science research.
Partners Executive Committee Co-Chairs this year are Brian Eisenberg and Michelle Mio.
Major event sponsors of the Partners events include Presenting Sponsor Quicken Loans, Lead Sponsor Compuware Corporation, Platinum Sponsors Becker Ventures, Cambridge Consulting Group, Credit Union ONE, Lil and Alex Erdeljan, The Ferrantino Foundation, Marjorie S. Fisher, The Forbes Company/Somerset Collection, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP, Kenwal Steel Corp., The Suburban Collection and Word Karma Books.; Magazine Sponsor Hour Detroit and dbusiness magazines, and Radio Sponsor, News/Talk 760 WJR.

If you lived here, you'd live longer
You've taken everything else into consideration when choosing a place to retire to. Now consider the life expectancy of the locals.
This post comes from Emily Brandon at partner site U.S. News & World Report.
When it comes to predicting how long you are likely to live, the place you live matters. Life expectancy in the U.S. ranges from 85 years for women in Marin, Calif., to 72.7 years in Perry, Ky. Local longevity differences are even larger among men, who have a life expectancy in Fairfax County, Va. (81.7 years) that is 17 years longer than in nearby McDowell, W.V. (64 years), according to recent research by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
"How health is experienced in the U.S. varies greatly by locale," according to the report.
"People who live in San Francisco or Fairfax County, Va. or Gunnison, Colo. are enjoying some of the best life expectancies in the world. In some U.S. counties, however, life expectancies are on par with countries in North Africa and Southeast Asia."
Counties where women enjoy the greatest longevity also include Montgomery, Md. (84.9 years), Collier, Fla. (84.6 years) and Santa Clara, Calif. (84.5 years). The life expectancy in these places is comparable to countries with the highest life expectancies in the world, including France, Spain and Switzerland.
In places where males live the longest, such as Gunnison County, Colo. (81.7 years), Pitkin, Colo. (81.7 years) and Montgomery, Md. (81.6 years), life expectancy surpasses other long-lived countries like Japan and Switzerland.
Places with the lowest life expectancies, such as McDowell, W.V. (72.9 years) and Tunica, Miss. (73.4 years) for women, and Bolivar, Miss. (65 years) and Perry, Ky. (66.5 years) for men, actually have shorter life expectancies than people in Algeria and Bangladesh, according to the IHME report.
The researchers speculate that the disparities in life expectancy within the U.S. likely have a variety of causes. Socioeconomic factors such as poverty and education are known to play a role in longevity. Some places might have less access to medical facilities, fewer quality health care options available to residents or more people who lack health insurance. In other places, more people engage in riskier behaviors such as smoking, a poor diet or a lack of exercise.
And, of course, healthy individuals might simply move from counties with a low life expectancy into counties with higher life expectancies.
"If you are in a county in the Southeast where obesity is very high, where you don't have health facilities, and you move to a place that has all of the above, it will improve your life," says Ali Mokdad, professor of global health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle. "You are more likely to benefit from programs that the county has in place."
Choosing a retirement spot that helps promote healthy behaviors or one where you will be surrounded by peers also engaging in prevention could help you to live longer or remain healthier. Victor Marshall, an emeritus professor and former director of the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill's Institute on Aging, recommends selecting a livable community with safe streets and walking paths and a wide range of options to remain physically active, including public parks, pools and tennis courts.
Should these efforts to promote health fail, you'll also want to be in a community with high-quality medical care, "ideally a university hospital affiliated with a medical school," Marshall says. Proximity to a physician who is experienced at treating older patients should be a key component in your retirement relocation decision. "It's a good idea to think, 'If something happened to me or my spouse, how would we get help?'" says James Kirkland, a professor of aging research and director of the Mayo Clinic Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging. "If you are moving to an area that is very distant, if you're going to move to the top of a mountain in Alaska, you are going to have to plan on that not being the last place that you move to."

There are many places in the world where life expectancies are high and poverty and health care availability are not issues. There is a village in Russia where the people typically exceed one hundred years of age but they don't even have electricity according to one article. They grow everything that they consume and make their own material needs in much the same way as they have for hundreds of years. For them it just boils down to no pollution, no food contamination, and a active and healthy life style with plenty of work/exercise.
Worry, stress, obesity, bad life habits, and lack of physical exercise will get you every time. Eliminate those factors and you wind up with a happy healthy population. In another article I read some of the happiest people actually were relatively poor financially but rich in culture and family life and as a result they tended to have relatively long life spans well into their eighties and nineties.
Social pressures make much of the difference. If someone grows up never having anything and they simply don't know what they don't have there is very little concern about their social position. They simply exist and live to the fullest extent genetically possible for them. Accidents and disease aside the human being can have a wide span of life expectancies based purely on their genetics.
One author postulated that we are actually beginning the process of 'devolution' and there is evidence that our DNA double helix is beginning to unravel in some cases. He claims that this is due to the fact that we have used our technology to prolong the lives of physically lesser individuals allowing them to reproduce and pass on their diminished genetic material thus propagating a weaker strain of human. In the past those weaker strains would have died off leaving only the strongest genetic combinations. I am not sure I quite accept that theory but it does rather make a certain amount of sense.
In the simplest terms your life span is determined by several factors. First there is your genetic propensity, followed by your chosen life style and habits, then comes disease and accidents. Each of these factors play a role in just how long you live. For me in my personal belief system that time is pretty much predestined by fate.
Statistics folks, if two people represent a population and one is newborn and the other 80 yrs old, and both pass at the same time the average life expectancy is 40......can't change adults habits very easy, and we have POTENTIAL best healthcare ,but we CAN create a system where children don't die so young. In the US we are #1 in two categories in healthcare in the industrialized world, cost per person and .......INFANT MORTALITY. More children die on their first day than anywhere else in the industrialized world. Second COD (cause of death) is accidents. All of the above from the stupidity of adults, not supervising kids, and ineffectively raising them to easily create babies when they themselves are babies. Procreation should be a privilege not a right.
I was raised in wealthy Marin County, CA , the "Me" county, and I thought our family was poor. We were not poor, just poor in comparison to the average Marin resident. Then I learned about the rest of the country, where the word poor has an entirely different meaning. You have not seen poor until you have seen the rural South and parts of the Midwest. OMG. Many places are as bad as any 3rd world country. Truly sad. And, it is changing for the worse in CA too due to mass illegal immigration of the poor from Mexico.
I would like Dr. Ali Moochalot (LOL) to tell us where in the southeast there are no health care facilities available. This guy is an idiot. I live in Nashville for example which has one of the top Hospital systems in the country and has more hospital per capita than any other city in the nation.
Dr, Moochalot can get on his camel and go back to where he came from.

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks -31/2
The Redskins are riding a wave of success since the death of safety Sean Taylor. The running game is clicking, the passing game is gliding and the defense is strong. Backup Todd Collins is running this team, as mind boggling as that may sound. The Seahawks make the playoffs quietly. Once the most feared running game in the NFL has fizzled to an afterthought. But quarterback Matt Hasselback is having a great year. The Seahawks defense has 45 sacks, too, which is certainly going to cause problems for the Redskins. The wave hits a levee here today, folks. The Seahawks will ride the 12th man to victory this afternoon. Seahawks 35 Redskins 22.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers +3
This would have been a really great matchup if Steelers running back Willie Parker was playing. That will hurt the Steelers. The Jaguars have a quarterback who doesn't make errors, and that's important to have in the playoffs. In Pittsburgh, the Steelers will fight, but the Jags will get the upper hand in this battle. Jags 27 Steelers 21
New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers -3
I don't even know how the Bucs made it this far. They've been the real surprise this year with a bunch of no names running the show there. The Giants, however, have a good defense. Really, this game will come down to errors. Can Eli Manning keep the ball out of the Bucs' hands? Can he play perfectly throughout the playoffs? I think we all know that answer. But for this day, the Giants are likely to win this game. The defense will pressure Jeff Garcia (he only has 13 touchdowns) and punish Earnest Graham. Giants 31 Bucs 17
Tennesee Titans at San Diego Chargers -10
I don't think this game is going to be close at all. The Chargers are hitting on all cylinders and the Titans come into this game limping. I don't think LT will be stopped and the Chargers will be able to turn the ball over a few times and still win. Don't count out Jeff Fisher though, because this coach is the Miracle Man. He'll have his team prepared, but he can't stop this offense. Chargers 45 Titans 16

Tom DeLonge discussing UFOs with Larry King, James Fox, and Michael Shermer
"The (500) Days of Summer attitude of "He wants you so bad" seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she'll give his life meaning because he doesn't care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That's not healthy. That's falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person. "

The Hong Kong Government has announced the consultation paper on "Copyright protection in the Digital Environment" in early January this year. Many has pointed out that the consultation is based on the interest of corporate copyright holders rather than individuals and consumers. Worse still, some suggestions within the consultation papers are threatening to freedom of speech and expression, and eventually the development of creative industry in Hong Kong.
Even though a major trend of internet copyright is the adaptation of flexible license system, such as creative commons, which would encourage fair use and free distribution of information within the Internet. However, there is no mentioning of such practice in the whole consultation document.
In the Internet, consumers are also producers; many internet users would upload writings, photos, music and video clips onto the Internet and share with each other. Web-based forums, internet media, blogs, and etc. are significant spaces for civic participation; Moreover, teachers are using the Internet to facilitate their teaching and interacting with the students. However, the consultation has not considered such needs and has not evaluated the impact of old media copyright to this newly emerged public and creative space.
On April 1, Hong Kong In-Media, Open Knowledge Project and CU Student Union – Intellectual Property Watch would organize a symposium, Copyright = Creativity?, in response to the public consultation. Details are as followed:
Time: 2:30-4:30pm, April 1, 2007
Venue: Rm 100, School of Continuing and Professional Studies (CUHK), Bank of America Tower, Central
Speakers: Representative from Social Brain Foundation; Deng Chieh (Director of Wikimedia Society, Taiwan); Charles Mok (Chair of Internet Society-Hong Kong)
Co-host: Internet society, Hong Kong Branch; Media Law Project, Journalism and Media Studies Center, HKU
More Background about the government consultation:
Listed below are 4 major consultation areas and suggestions put forwarded by the government; the potential implications of the suggestions are in italics:
1. The criminalization of all downloading activities except from cache;
The government has already criminalized the uploading of BT seed files; last year, an individual has been convicted of copyright infringement for upload three movies' seed files even though he did not involve in pursuing of commercial interest. The court has sentenced him for three months.
Last year, the custom office has even recruited school children to monitor P2P activities on the Internet against copyrights infringement. The government's reaction has not only affected the development of P2P sharing technology in Hong Kong; it gives the young generation a false idea that P2P sharing is in general illegal or immoral. However, activities in the Internet are all about different forms of uploading and downloading, the further criminalizing of downloading activities will have a fatal impact on the development of the Internet.
2. The protection of copyright works transmitted to the public via all forms of communication technology, such as the transmitting of CD to MP3;
Music and image remix is part of the internet culture. For example, many netizens like to edit T.V news images and music for commenting on current social and political issues; and such cultural practice of spoofing has become a major characteristic of Hong Kong political culture. The copyright protection in transmission of files would certainly affect the development of new media creative industry.
3. Pressure to the Online Service Providers for releasing users' information and introducing filtering technology;
The suggestions in this part would violate users' privacy and filtering technology is a threatening censorship mechanism.
4. Statutory Damages for Copyright Infringement.
At present, copyright holders have to prove the amount or the extent of damages involved for getting compensation from a copyright infringement case. For example, the reposting of dated newspapers articles, even though has infringed the newspapers' copyright, would not be sued because the damage is very little. Many discussion forums like to repost newspapers articles for discussion. If the "statutory damages" system is introduced, these internet forums will not be able to survive through.

Wish you here tonight with me to see the northern lights
I wish you were here tonight with me
The lights upon the night sky lit up the world of darkness that he had fallen into. His eyes reflecting the colour changing glow, only as his heart sought the colourless cracks in the great surface. He found the inadequacies, the faults and the breaks in the great structures, shimmering, hiding stars and worlds from view, convincing him he was truly alone. And she would have loved to see them.
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning
I wish I could have you by my side
He missed her smile so much. The way her eyes would shine, the way her hair would bounce on her shoulders as she ran, laughing, from yet another danger, yet another enemy, yet another foe. She was so bright, so alive; a new source of light in the universe other then a burning sky and flaming ships. Another source of hope other than an escape or a quick death. Another star to guide him. Yet another love in his life that he would lose.
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling
Won't back down no more
He had been broken and shattered, ripped on the floor and not helped up. He had been torn in two. He had found the strength to move through the pain of the war only for her, because of her. Without his special girl all the pain, the remorse, the regret came crashing down, shrouding his world in a haze of red and burning and death. Everywhere he looked he could see people screaming, crying out for help. But he couldn't save them. His strength was gone.
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
He had never told her how he truly felt. Never explained or even showed his feelings. He was happy to hold her hand and smile but beyond that he didn't know what to do. He knew that he would only hurt her and therefore withdrew. He couldn't and wouldn't hurt her. But it was too late now. She was gone. Everyone was gone. It all went to dust.
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
He had wished time and time again that she would bring up their relationship but she was a nineteen year old girl and he a nine hundred year old alien. That was what he told himself when she was there. But when she had left him, through no fault of her own, forever, he found that deep inside of him he knew that he had been avoiding the subject and that he had lost so much already, he just had to lose a little bit more.
Burns like a thousand stars, though you are light years away
Burns like a thousand stars or more
His pain is still fresh and raw after all these years. It still beats at the heart of him, rupturing new paths in his soul and etching its waives across his face. He can still feel her, just as he could through that wall, though he knew there was nothing on the other side. But he can feel her. Her pain, her joy, her sorrow, her tears. He feels every emotion she feels. And it burns.
You're up there; you're always with me
Smiling down on me
He feels as if she's watching over him, never stopping, never speaking, and never interfering. Just being there, a solid presence in the back of his mind, day or night, reassuring him, helping him through the worst times, guiding him, being his guardian angel.
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
If she had asked how he felt about her, he probably would have denied loving her. Denied it with all his being because he was so scared, so scared of being hurt, so scared of being close to someone and so scared that she would die if he went with her. He was scared that everything would go wrong if he broke the rule: never go with a companion, never fraternise, never injure, never hurt and never love. That was the Time Lord's curse.
Can't you roll the dice; I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
But she would never have asked him. It was only in the those moments when she didn't know or didn't think he could hear her that she would speak out. When he was lying there, in bed, in her mum's flat. When she thought he was dieing she said two things. The first had not really been words, but lack of to Mickey's spoken question:
"You love him don't you?"
She didn't answer, only cried.
The second was when she asked him for help. She put all her feelings, all her life and all her power into those few whispered words:
"Help me!"
It's something sacred,
Something so beautiful
She was something that never should be touched, never sullied, never ruined. She should remain perfect for ever, swirling in moonlight and chance of a meeting. He knew that and he didn't ruin the wish. She was perfect and she would remain that way. He loved her yes, but she was human and she would die.
Something quiet to ease my mind
When the pressure's taking me over and over
She was always there when he needed her. She always said and did the right things, no matter what the consequences were. She were strong. A light when there were no others. A voice when all else had been beaten into a silence. A laugh when happiness had been banished. A face among millions, yet always different. A woman that fought back and won. She was his perfect companion. A little piece of home.
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling
Pushed around and always falling
He wanted so many times to talk to her about his own past. Too just tell her little things about his past. Names, places, dates. Small bits of him that she could carry. But the pain was too raw, too fresh from losing that when ever he tried he found that he couldn't. But now when he's finally ready to get over what he lost and tell her, he finds that he's lost her. The perfect irony.
You're up there; you're always with me
Smiling down on me
He can never again tell her something to make her laugh, something to make her frown, something to make her run. He can never again tell and show her the great wonders of the universe. No longer hold her hand and show her the pathways to what lies beyond her world. He's no longer her protector and fried. Someone else is. But he doesn't know who. Because it's not him.
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
This is the cruellest fate a person can live: to know that their loved one is out there, somewhere but be unable to reach them. No, not unreachable or untouchable. Just far, far away. Too far to reach without someone telling the truth.
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing here
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
The cruellest fate: To know that he could have reached her. That he could still reach her. But to tear apart the universe to be with her once more would deny everything he is, everything he fought to be and would kill billions of innocent people. He's not that far gone yet. But he's getting there. He's already returned to the place where he last saw her once or twice in the knowledge that Rose Tyler is, literally, standing on the other side of the wall.
It's just that bit too far.

To this end, the University is committed to maintaining its position at the forefront of education, research and social service; in line with the enduring motto of the institution: ōExcellence in Educationö.

Old Nicosia is enclosed within Venetian fortifications, built in the 16th century by the then rulers of the island. Even though Nicosia has grown way beyond its medieval boundaries, these walls still contain the cultural centre of the city and the quaint streets are filled with museums, cafés, music bars, restaurants, art galleries and cobbled roads.
New Nicosia, which developed outside the walls, is the political, economic and educational centre of Cyprus, and presents many opportunities for site visits and program activities. It also has lively shopping, restaurant and nightlife areas for students to explore. The standard of living in Nicosia is on par with other similar cities in southern European countries and English is widely spoken. Nicosia has a large university community of over ten thousand local and international students and most students blend in and make friends easily.

In almost any endeavor, being young automatically draws questions — and doubts — about one's ability to avoid being an idiot.
And so, as spring practice fires up, the biggest question hanging around Utah football concerns Brian Johnson, who at 25 is the youngest offensive coordinator in college football. He was promoted to that just seven weeks ago.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Three years back, I wrote a column suggesting the Utes make that exact move, when Johnson was 22. They're only a little late.
Still, some people, mostly old people, think he's too young for that job.
He's not. He's not an idiot. If he ever was an idiot, it lasted for about 10 minutes, and then he moved on to the business of growing up. He's forever been grown up. He's an old man in a young man's body, one of those rare individuals who always bought his cereal for the fiber, not the toy, a kid wise beyond his peers.
"I've always been young for everything I've done in my life," he said. "It's never bothered me one bit."
And it doesn't bother him now.
Check out Johnson at the practice field on Saturday. He didn't raise his voice. Didn't look flustered. He just moved from drill to drill, seamlessly and confidently, the master at the helm of his offense.
Yes, it is only March. But Johnson has seen his share of Septembers, Octobers, Novembers past, for a time as an assistant coach and longer as a quarterback.
"We've got a ways to go, but I feel comfortable with the attention to detail and the focus of our players," he said. "We've got a lot of guys who have played here. They know what the expectations are."
Expectations set, in part, by Johnson himself.
It's a combination of that playing experience with the nature of the man that indicates likely success for him as he works his way through the vicissitudes of coordinating the Ute offense.
Johnson arrived at Utah at the age of 17. He was Alex Smith's backup as a freshman, and then moved to the starter's spot. He waded through good and bad times, and after multiple injuries returned to lead the Utes to their pinnacle in 2008, going undefeated and winning the Sugar Bowl.
A few quotes and anecdotes stand out as illustrative from that season, one from the comeback win against Oregon State and the others from the moments after the win over Alabama.
Against the Beavers, when Utah trailed by eight points with less than two minutes left, Johnson saw fans filing out of Rice-Eccles Stadium. He said to teammates: "They're going to miss a great show."
After the Utes' win in the Sugar Bowl, as the confetti fell on his head, Johnson said: "Nobody believed we could do this … except for us. And we did."
Minutes later, Louie Sakoda said of Johnson: "All of America doubted him. But his leadership made this team this year."
My personal favorite Johnson story occurred about an hour after that, when the quarterback walked out of the Superdome with his backpack in one hand and the MVP trophy in the other. He looked around and saw nothing but darkness and an empty road running off into the distance.
It was 1 a.m. and he was alone.
Ninety minutes after the biggest win in school history, team busses somehow had left their MVP behind. Under the brightest lights, he had thrown for 336 yards and three touchdowns against Alabama.
And now, he was forgotten.Next Page >

Task Force mourns the death of pioneering gay activist and founding board member Frank Kameny
Inga Sarda-Sorensen
Director of Communications
(Office) 646.358.1463
(Cell) 202.641.5592
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force mourns the death of Frank Kameny, 86, a pioneering and legendary gay activist and founding board member of the Task Force. Kameny — known for coining the phrase "Gay is Good" received a "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Task Force in 2006 for his decades of courageous activism on the front lines of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) liberation movement.
Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"The death of Frank Kameny is a profound loss and he will be greatly missed. No Washington LGBT event or White House meeting was complete without Frank. I always appreciated that he gave the 50-plus-year perspective, the long view. While so many have been impatient about the pace of progress, there was Frank, insisting we recognize that, in the last two years, he was regularly invited as a guest of honor by the very government that fired him simply for being gay. Yet, he never slowed down in demanding what should be, showing us what was possible and pushing for the very equality and liberation we are still fighting for. As the history books are written on the LGBT movement, no doubt Frank's life will serve as an inspiration to those who will never have the honor of meeting him, but who embody the very future he knew would come true one day. Indeed, Frank, Gay is Good."
Statement by Sue Hyde, Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change
"Frank Kameny's life spanned the baddest old days of the McCarthy-style witch hunts to the elations of winning marriage equality in the District of Columbia and beyond. In 1957, Frank lost his job, but he never lost his fierce fighting spirit, his blunt and witty command of language, or his commitment to eradicating homophobia. Frank was equally confident and strategic on the streets in front of the White House in 1965 as he was attending a White House meeting in 1977 at which he and a dozen other members of our community briefed then-Public Liaison Midge Costanza on much-needed changes in federal laws and policies. As the LGBT movement began to win in legislatures, courtrooms, and in public opinion, Frank's papers, artifacts and memories gained value. Frank Kameny wasn't only a keeper of our history, Frank created our history. His life and legacy carry us into our future."

Everybody Farts
"It's true: bodies are goofy, and never do exactly what you'd like. But the idea that you have to be embarrassed about your own bodily functions? That idea exists solely to make you less confident, so that no one has to encounter you at your full, natural level of awesomeness. Also, it exists because for some reason people think certain facts about the human body are unspeakable. Even though you are going to find out most of those things sooner or later. Preferably sooner!"

We strive our hardest to give you the best experience possible. If you're coming to ski, snowboard, tube, or just sight-see, we want to have the opportunity to serve you and to show you a little bit about Liberty Mountain. Be sure to stop by the Ticketing Office where we will give you a warm welcome and any other information you might need!

Bring a government-issued ID; if you're a Liberty University student, your Liberty ID is required as well.
All first-time visitors are required to report to the beginner slope immediately after check-in, regardless of skill level. Due to the physical differences between Snowflex and actual snow, even the most skilled riders must adapt to the surface before proceeding to the intermediate or advanced slopes.

Certified staff members are on hand to provide lessons if desired.
Proper attire is mandatory and includes long-sleeve shirts, pants, and gloves. Windbreaker material is recommended. During the warmer months, you may wear a short sleeve t-shirt and shorts if you have elbow and knee pads on as well while riding.
Expect clothing to become damp due to the slope's misting system.
All tubers using the new tubing park are required to be at least 36 inches or 5 years of age. If your child does not meet the height/age requirement, there is a smaller tubing run on our beginner hill for them to enjoy.

At some stage early next week (exact time TBC) we will be upgrading the forums to vBulletin 4. It is a massive upgrade and will take several hours.
For those people that haven't seen vB4, it is markedly different to our current version (vB3.8.5) and may take some getting used to. As with any big aesthetic change, some of you will love it and some of you won't. For the record - I do.
There are bound to be some bugs but we've been testing for a while now so I hope (and pray) that those will be minimal. I will start a thread for you to post anything that you notice.
I'll keep you updated with the details as they come to hand.

What Gmail Voice will give Google
Posted: 08/26/10 01:00 PM
Everybody's talking about the new service Google rolled out yesterday - making voice calls through Gmail. Wired's Ryan Single has an interesting piece suggesting this new feature is all about keeping you logged in, tracking what you do and being able to compete with Facebook as the most effective ad platform for marketers.
Another intriguing idea comes from Peter Nowak. He suggests Gmail Voice is going to help Google develop something no one's been able to do well yet: voice recognition search. Because soon, no one's going to sit around their computers typing words into a web browser.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

NORFOLK - The Norfolk Emergency Operations Center is looking to hire more dispatchers to answer your 9-11 calls.
Right now, the department is 11 dispatchers short. This means current dispatchers are working overtime in order to fill the gap.
Despite the shortage of dispatchers, officials stress the center is always fully staffed with employees working overtime. Staff also says won't see service delays if you call 911.
Director Jim Redick says it's tough to find good candidates because dispatchers have to pass screening tests and psychological evaluations to make sure they can handle the tough calls. They also have to pass criminal background checks to help make sure they won't share the sensitive information they learn.
Manager Tony Castillo says current dispatches are working voluntary overtime to cover the shifts. The maximum hours they can work is 12, instead of the normal eight. He is concerned about workers getting tired and burned out.
