Ashton Kutcher bothers me. He says he loves Country Music, then whenever you see him on a Country Awards show he's making fun of it. Why would you make fun of something you love? ANYWAY... on to my story...Ashton apparently got into a scuffle with security over the weekend at the Stagecoach Music Fest in Indio, California.
Leave it to TMZ to get the scoope yet again. Sources told TMZ.com that Kutcher was in a VIP area near the stage at the Stagecoach festival when a woman approached him to say hello and shake his hand. The sources say when Kutcher went to greet the woman, a security guard intervened and shoved the two of them, sparking the fight.
Kutcher and the security guard really went at it, violently shoving each other eyewitnesses are saying. The actor's friends finally separted the two. Sources say Kutcher wasn't the aggressor. They claim the security guard was overzealous and out of line. The security guard demanded that Kutcher be ejected, but the actor left on his own.
I guess I'm not the only one who has no love for Ashton.

A Nashville-based company, Capital Confirmation, says its technology exposed the schemes behind the former CEO of Peregrine Financial Group (PFGBest) Russ Wasendorf Sr.
"We're very pleased that our service did what we said it could do, but that wasn't the first fraud that we'd uncovered, and it certainly hadn't been the last," said Founder and President of the company Brian Fox.
Fox said about 80 percent of companies still use a paper-based confirmation system, leaving a high risk for fraud to continue to occur.
But according to Fox, more companies are switching to an electronic confirmation system through his company which he said is 100 percent fool-proof.
Fox said without electronic confirmation, it's easy for a CEO to hide illegal activities and theft because a CEO can pretend to be a bank, as was the case with Wasendorf.
Fox said when Wasendorf's bank, U.S. Bank, switched to an electronic method of confirmation, he was cornered.
"When he realized that the auditors were going to find out once they used the system on Monday, that was when he went in and tried to commit suicide that morning before the auditors found out a couple hours later that he had been committing fraud for 20 years," he said.
Fox encouraged investors to ask the auditor or regular how he or she verifies cash balances.
"If the auditors are verifying the cash or receivable via eelectronic confirmation, then they've got a much higher level of certainty taht the revenue is legitimate and cash is really on hand," he said.
More information on Capital Confirmation can be found online here.

School of Open: Copyright & Creative Commons for Educators Courses Now Open for Sign-up
Is copyright a little fuzzy? / Elias Bizannes / CC BY-SA
Following on the heels of "Writing Wikipedia Articles: The Basics and Beyond," three more School of Open courses are now open for sign-up. They are:
1. Copyright 4 Educators (AUS)
This course will equip Australian educators with the copyright knowledge to confidently use copyright material in the classroom. It will also introduce Open Educational Resources (OER) and teach you how to find and adapt free, useful resources for your classes. The course is open to all educators around the world, but it is specifically targeted to Australian teachers, teacher-librarians from K-12, TAFE teachers, University lecturers/tutors, and University students studying to become teachers. The course material is learnt around practical case studies faced by teachers when using copyright material in their day-to-day teaching and educational instruction.
Facilitators: Jessica Smith and Delia Browne
To sign up, click the "Start course" button on the bottom left of the course page.
2. Copyright 4 Educators (US)
This is a course for educators who want to learn about US copyright law in the education context. Educators who are not in the US are welcome to sign up, too, if they want to learn about copyright law in the US. The course is taught around practical case studies faced by teachers when using copyright material in their day-to-day teaching. By answering the case scenarios and drafting and discussing the answers in groups, you and other participants will learn:
- What is the public domain?
- What does copyright law protect?
- What is fair use?
- What other exceptions are there in copyright law?
- What are open access educational resources?
Facilitators: Laura Quilter and Lila Bailey
To sign up, apply using the Google form — also linked at the top of the course page.
3. Creative Commons for K-12 Educators
K-12 educators would like to find and adapt free, useful resources for their classes. Some would even like to incorporate activities that teach their students digital world skills — such as finding, remixing, and sharing digital media and materials on the web. In this lightly facilitated course, we will learn how to do these things with each other in a peer learning environment.
Facilitator: Jane Park

EFF Teaches Copyright, without an agenda
When it comes to copyright, our youth are too often bombarded with extremes. The entertainment industry giants propagate a skewed perspective by launching anti-copying educational programs, leaving out much of the balanced information necessary to cultivating user's awareness about her real rights to a resource. This results in students thinking that they can react in only one of two ways: by breaking the law in the face of overbearing restrictions, or by doing absolutely nothing at all with copyrighted works, effectively stifling the learning that comes of creatively engaging with them.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation recognized this problem and went to work on a copyright curriculum that would not only be fair and balanced in perspective, but comprehensive in its scope by encouraging discussion and self-education. From the press release,
"Kids are bombarded with messages that using new technology is illegal… Instead of approaching the issues from a position of fear, Teaching Copyright encourages inquiry and greater understanding. This is a balanced curriculum, asking students to think about their role in the online world and to make informed choices about their behavior."
ccLearn has taken a look at Teaching Copyright and we commend it. The curriculum is created and vetted by lawyers and promotes a balanced teaching perspective, clearing up much of the misinformation that is current industry propaganda. Like EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry says, "Today's tech-savvy teens will grow into the artists and innovators of tomorrow." We need to help them "understand their digital rights and responsibilities in order to create, critique, and comment on their culture. This curriculum fills an educational void, introducing critical questions of digital citizenship into the classroom without misinformation that scares kids from expressing themselves in the modern world."
The entire curriculum and accompanying resources on the Teaching Copyright website are licensed CC BY, which appropriately encourages students, teachers, and anyone else to adapt it to various educational needs and contexts.2 Comments »
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning
In this age of information overload, traditional teaching methods and roles are fast becoming extinct. Students have access to most of the relevant information in their teachers' heads and more, but this doesn't mean students know how to organize and interpret this information in a meaningful way.
George Siemens and Peter Tittenberger have developed a handbook for educators who want to use technologies to aid (both teachers and learners) in the learning process. The Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning explores "[how education is] to fulfill its societal role of clarifying confusion when tools of control over information creation and dissemination rest in the hands of learners…" The issue is "information abundance" and the handbook is designed to be a resource for educators who want to face these issues head-on.
The handbook is available as a wiki and PDF, and is licensed CC BY-NC.3 Comments »
Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education
Today, the Center for Social Media at AU released a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy in Education—a guide for educators and students to the use of copyrighted materials in the classroom. This guide is aimed at clearing up many of the urban myths surrounding copyright, as many educators mistakenly believe that the use of copyrighted photographs in the classroom is illegal, when in fact, fair use allows such uses without teachers even having to obtain permissions.
From last week's press release,
"A variety of content and media is now available online, but fear and misinformation have kept teachers and students from using this valuable material, including portions of films, TV coverage, photos, songs, articles, and audio, in the classroom.
Now, thanks to a coordinated effort by the media literacy community, supported by experts at American University and Temple University, teachers and students have a step-by-step guide that simplifies the legalities of using copyrighted materials in an academic setting…
The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education outlines five principles, each with limitations:
Educators can, under some circumstances:
1. Make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works, and use them and keep them for educational use.
2. Create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted materials embedded.
3. Share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted materials embedded.
Learners can, under some circumstances:
4. Use copyrighted works in creating new material
5. Distribute their works digitally if they meet the transformativeness standard."
A great video accompanies the guide, if you want a quick and entertaining primer on the issues the code addresses.
This project was funded by one of our own long-term supporters, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.2 Comments »
OER Handbook for Educators 1.0
The Center for Open and Sustainable Learning (COSL) has been hosting an OER Handbook on WikiEducator for a while now, inviting others to contribute and edit various elements of the book. Now they've finally published the first printable version of one of their mini-handbooks: OER Handbook for Educators 1.0.
The actual handbook isn't so mini—though it weighs nothing at all in the virtual world, the printed version is a hefty 269+ pages. But you don't have to print it out; you can access it in various forms for free on the web: as it currently exists on WikiEducator or as black and white or full color pdf's on Lulu.com.
The OER Handbook for Educators is the collaborative result of various contributors, ultimately authored by Seth Gurell and edited by David Wiley. Its aim is to serve as an introductory guide to educators on open educational resources: how to "find, use, develop and share OER to enhance their effectiveness online and in the classroom." The handbook is an especial eye-opener for those new to the world of open education. However, it is also useful for more seasoned OER creators and users, grappling with such topics as "The Copyright Paradox"—because we all know that copyright is no simple matter.
The handbook itself is licensed CC BY-SA, so go check it out! If your connection is slow, don't worry: the black and white graphics are just as stunning as their full color counterparts.Comments Off

Economic Trends
Fourth District Labor Markets: Cleveland's Puzzling Data
The Great Recession had very different effects on regional labor markets in the United States, and not surprisingly, the recovery has also proceeded at different speeds across regions. Currently, very few U.S. states have employment levels higher than they were at the start of the recession, and no state has an unemployment rate lower than it was then. States hard hit by the housing bust—Nevada, Arizona, and Florida—have employment levels that are more than 7 percent below their 2007 levels, and only a handful of states have experienced positive employment growth over the period. Many of the labor markets experiencing net employment gains are in states whose output is heavily focused on natural resources, such as North Dakota, Texas, and Alaska.
Like the rest of the country, improvements in the Fourth District's labor market have been relatively uneven. The Fourth District states of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are spread out across the employment-growth distribution. Ohio has had the lowest employment growth from December 2007 to May 2012 (−5 percent), while West Virginia is close to break-even growth over the period (−0.3 percent). Pennsylvania and Kentucky each have shed roughly 2 percent of their employment over the same period.
Unemployment rates have remained elevated across the country, with almost half of all states having unemployment rates 3 percentage points above their pre-recession levels. In Fourth District states, unemployment rates are between 1.5 and 3 percentage points higher than in December 2007. Relative to the nation, all Fourth District states have unemployment rates either at or below the national rate of 8.2 percent.
Within the Fourth District, large metropolitan areas are spread across the employment-growth distribution, with Cleveland having the lowest employment growth rate (−6.9 percent) and Pittsburgh the highest (+0.8 percent). Columbus and Cincinnati are in between at −1.4 percent and −4.0 percent, respectively. If we look at changes in unemployment rates over the same period, we see a markedly different pattern for the large metro areas of the Fourth District. Of the top 50 metro areas in the country, Cleveland has the smallest rise in the unemployment rate over the December 2007 to May 2012 period, and all four large metro areas in the Fourth District are in the lower tail of the distribution.
For Cleveland, these are strikingly different results. How can we explain such distinct differences in the paths of employment growth and the unemployment rate? One answer is that labor force growth in Cleveland has been relatively weak—declining by an estimated 1.4 percent over the December 2007 to May 2012 period. This weak labor force growth means that the Cleveland labor market did not have to add a large number of new jobs to reduce its unemployment rate.
However, the magnitude of the decline in the labor force is too small to explain the very large difference in the paths of employment and unemployment for Cleveland. A more likely reason for the difference is the fact that the data on unemployment and employment come from two different data sources, and these data sources simply do not agree in the case of Cleveland.
We can see this more clearly by comparing estimates of employment at the metro level from both sources. Unemployment rates are derived from data gathered from a survey of households (the household survey) augmented with administrative data and model estimates, and employment statistics are based on data from a survey of businesses (the payroll survey). While the household survey is used to construct the unemployment rate, the unemployment data also contain an alternative measure of employment. To be sure, employment is defined somewhat differently than in the payroll survey, and coverage and geography are not identical. Importantly, the data from the household survey include the self-employed and measure employment by place of residence, whereas the payroll survey excludes the self-employed, counts the multiple jobs of a single worker, and measures employment by place of work. Nevertheless, the comparison is informative.
At the national level, employment loss from the payroll series exceeds the household series by 0.8 percentage points over the December 2007 to May 2012 period. For Cleveland, on the other hand, the difference between the two series is substantial. Where the payroll statistics show a decline in employment of 7 percent, the household-based statistics show a decline of only 2 percent over the same period. Moreover, the path of employment from the payroll survey shows Cleveland making no progress in expanding employment during the recovery—whereas a solid employment recovery is reflected in the data from the household survey.
This wide gap in the paths of employment from the two survey programs is not present for the other large metropolitan areas in the Fourth District; however, for other metropolitan areas across the country such differences do exist. We can see this in the scatter plot below, which shows employment growth from December 2007 to May 2012 from the two surveys across the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the country. If a metropolitan area is near the line in the plot, it means that the surveys generally agree. If the metropolitan area's data point is above the line, then employment growth in the household survey exceeds employment growth in the payroll survey. Alternatively, if the metropolitan area's data point is below the line, then employment growth in the household survey falls short of employment growth observed in the payroll survey.
One can see that there are metropolitan areas above and below the line, but most metropolitan areas lie above it. This agrees with the national data, which show that household employment growth was somewhat above employment growth from the payroll survey. In the scatter plot, Cleveland's data point is less of an outlier, but it still is on the upper edge of metropolitan areas that lie above the line. Las Vegas is the clear outlier in the chart. In the payroll survey, the decline in Las Vegas's employment currently stands at a little over 12 percent, whereas in the household survey the decline is only 4 percent. These data paint very different pictures of the magnitudes of employment loss in Las Vegas over the period.
There are some other general patterns in the chart as well. All the major Texas metro areas lie well above the line—showing that estimates of household employment growth exceed payroll estimates in these locales. The opposite is true for metropolitan areas in New York. This suggests that there may be differences in data collection programs at the state level that systematically influence the observed gaps at the metropolitan level. However, in the case of Ohio, no clear pattern emerges. The data series from both surveys were in close agreement for Columbus and Cincinnati, while the Cleveland data series showed wide disagreement.
What lessons do we draw from these data? First, we know that the statistics from both data programs will be revised, so that some of the differences that we observe today may be reduced through the revision process. One should be especially cautious in interpreting movements in the near-term data, as these can be quite volatile in certain states. Second, analysts of labor market data should look at multiple data sources to characterize labor market developments in local areas. The data from these programs rely on statistical samples, and for local areas, sampling variability can be substantial. Data from multiple sources may help to paint a more complete picture of the local labor market.

An elderly Westland couple is attacked and stabbed by a neighbor.
Saturday, the husband and wife were in critical condition and the
suspect was under arrest.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Murdoch's report.
"I counted on him sitting on that bench outside his door," said neighbor Diana Quattro. "I
knew if I was outside he had an extra eye on everyone so it's unbelievable
this happened.
He's referred to as the Mister Rogers of his Westland neighborhood, always going out of his way to help others. Now Tom Bemiss and his wife Charlene are fighting for their lives. They were attacked and stabbed by a neighbor on Van Sull. The suspect allegedly stole liquor from a nearby store, then started knocking on doors.
"From what I heard he ended up punching [Mr. Bemiss] and pulling him out the door and then stabbing him," said Quattro. "His wife tried to help her husband and he stabbed her. She was stabbed six times and she was stabbed five."
Emergency crews found the couple, in their 70's, surrounded by neighbors who came to their aide. We're told the suspect also needed medical treatment and had a history of mental issues.

Doctors Best - Best MSM 1500 mg. - 120 Tablets
Doctors Best Best MSM supplies pure crystalline MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a naturally-occuring source of organic sulfur that is easily absorbed and used by the body. Taken up from the soil by plants, MSM found in foods is largely lost during food processing, storage and cooking.
MSM supports organ and joint function by donating sulfur for maintenance of healthy connective tissue. MSM helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy by donating sulfur for products of keratin, a fibrous protein. Supports joint function.
Clinical research on the role of MSM in the human body has culminated in the filing of several patents covering numerous uses for MSM as a dietary ingredient for both humans and animals. As a result of these investigations, it is believed that physical and psychological stress increases in the human body when the MSM concentration falls below minimum levels, resulting in a loss of normal organ function.
Best MSM and Best MSM Powder contain pure MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a white crystalline substance that occurs in the human body and in some foods. MSM is an excellent dietary source of bioavailable organic sulfur.
The MSM Story - One of Nature's Primary Sources of Organic Dietary Sulfur!
The human body requires a continuous supply of usable sulfur, and MSM is one of the primary organic sulfur containing molecules for use by living organisms. From life's earliest beginnings, primitive marine organisms (blue-green algae and phytoplankton) have absorbed inorganic sulfur from ocean waters and produced organic sulfur molecules, primarily dimethyl sulfonium salts. These salts are released back into the sea, where they are converted to dimethyl sulfide, which readily evaporates, ending up in the upper atmosphere. Dimethyl sulfide is then oxidized by UV light, forming DMSO and MSM.
The two compounds are delivered to land masses in rain water, and absorbed by plants. MSM is a stable end product of this process, and thus serves as a primary source of sulfur in the food chain. Though present on earth since before life appeared on dry land, and known to science since the 1950's, MSM has only recently been recognized as having importance in human nutrition.
Why the Human Body Needs MSM
MSM occurs naturally in the blood, body fluids and tissues. It is now believed that a minimum MSM concentration of 0.2 parts per million is necessary for the body to function normally. MSM may be the most easily absorbed and nontoxic source of nutritional sulfur occurring in nature. Sulfur is a structural mineral that maintains the strength of various tissues by forming sulfur "tie-bars" (sulfhydryl bonds) between connective tissue proteins. MSM serves as a readily available source of sulfur for this function, and thus helps maintain the pliancy of tissues and cell membranes. Repair of damaged tissue depends upon a supply of sulfur for the continuation of reactions involving sulfhydryl groups (SH). Sulfur is required for the maintenance of healthy hair, skin and nails. In view of the presence of MSM in biological systems since the beginning of evolution, it is logical to assume that all higher life forms, including humans and animals, are well adapted to use MSM as a sulfur donor.
Based on observations, ingestion of MSM by humans has the following beneficial effects:
Supplementation is Needed to Realize the Benefits of MSM
Widespread in nature, MSM is found in a variety of foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, raw milk, raw meat and raw fish. However, MSM is a volatile substance easily lost during cooking, pasteurization, food processing and storage. The average American diet thus supplies at best a marginal MSM intake, which may be inadequate to maintain the optimum MSM concentration in the body. The body's MSM concentration is also believed to decline with increasing age.
Effective dosages for the various reported uses of MSM range from 500 mg to 6 grams per day. 1000 mg per day is recommended to restore normal MSM concentrations, while higher doses may be necessary for specific uses.
MSM is considered to be as non-toxic to the body as water, and is therefore completely safe at the higher dosage levels.

Carrie Severson knows all too well what it's like to bullied as a child.
Now, she's using her darkest days of the past to help support young victims, such as Rinsley Phelps.
"This girl is on fire," a happy Phelps sang.
But Phelps' outlook hasn't always been so positive: she's been bullied for years.
"It's, like, something new every single year. it feels like. It all started in kindergarten," Phelps said.
She said she has since learned how to cope, thanks to the "The Super Girl" program created by Severson through her nonprofit Severson Sisters.
"Our mission is to inspire girls to live their lives as their awesome, authentic super self," Severson said.
Severson Sisters has helped more than 900 girls in the Phoenix area by teaching them how to combat the shame, depression and self-hatred brought on by bullying.
"I founded Severson Sisters based on a personal experience," Severson said. "I was bullied as a girl. I had low self-esteem as a girl and I feel that if I had fundamental tools earlier in life that would have been different."
Severson was chosen out of thousands of applicants for the Characters Unite award by USA Network and Cox Communications and the $5,000 that comes with it.
Ask her how she feels about the award and she starts giggling.
"I'm, um, (laughs) … that's what happens," she said. "It's like a bubble of pink confetti. It's just a beautiful opportunity. It's a celebration."
Phelps agreed.
She's said she's glad her mentor is being recognized, and thankful for all she has learned.
"I learned just to be stronger and let things that people say just brush off my back and just try to ignore what they say and realize that I'm great, no matter what," Phelps said.

Alfonso IX (15 August 1171 – 23 or 24 September 1230) was king of León and Galicia from the death of his father Ferdinand II in 1188 until his own death. According to Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406), he is said to have been called the Baboso or Slobberer because he was subject to fits of rage during which he foamed at the mouth.
In 1188 he established the Cortes of León, considered Western Europe's first parliament.
Alfonso was born in Zamora. He was the only son of King Ferdinand II of León and Urraca of Portugal.[1] He took a part in the work of the Reconquest, conquering the area of Extremadura (including the cities of Cáceres and Badajoz).
He took steps towards modernizing and democratizing his dominion and founded the University of Salamanca in 1212. In 1188 he summoned the first parliament reflecting full representation of the citizenry ever seen in Western Europe, the Cortes of León.[2]
Alfonso IX had great difficulty in obtaining the throne through his given birthright.
The convening of the Cortes de León in the cloisters of the Basilica of San Isidoro would be one of the most important events of Alfonso's reign. The difficult economic situation at the beginning of his reign compelled Alfonso to raise taxes on the underprivileged classes, leading to protests and a few towns revolts. In response the king summoned the Cortes, an assembly of nobles, clergy and representatives of cities, and subsequently faced demands for compensatory spending and greater external control and oversight of royal expenditures. Alfonso's convening of the Cortes is considered by many historians, including Australia's John Keane,[3] to be instrumental to the formation of democratic parliaments across Europe. Note that Iceland had already held what may have been what is Europe's first parliament, the Þingvellir, in 930 CE. However, the Cortes' 1188 session predates the first session of the Parliament of England, which occurred in the thirteenth century.
In spite of the democratic precedent represented by the Cortes and the founding of the University of Salamanca, Alfonso is often chiefly remembered for the difficulties his successive marriages caused between him with Pope Celestine III. He was first married in 1191 to his cousin, Theresa of Portugal,[2] who bore him two daughters, and a son who died young. The marriage was declared null by the papal legate Cardinal Gregory.
After Alfonso VIII of Castile was defeated at the Battle of Alarcos, Alfonso IX invaded Castile with the aid of Muslim troops.[2] He was summarily excommunicated by Pope Celestine III. In 1197, Alfonso IX married his second cousin, Berengaria of Castile, to cement peace between León and Castile. For this act of consanguinity, the king and the kingdom were placed under interdict by Celestine.[4] In 1198, Pope Innocent III declared Alfonso and Berengaria's marriage invalid, but they stayed together until 1204.[5]
The Pope was, however, compelled to modify his measures by the threat that, if the people could not obtain the services of religion, they would not support the clergy, and that heresy would spread. The king was left under interdict personally, but to that he showed himself indifferent, and he had the support of his clergy. Berengaria left him after the birth of five children, and the king then returned to Theresa, to whose daughters he left his kingdom in his will.
Alfonso IX of León died on 24 September 1230. His death was particularly significant in that his son, Ferdinand III of Castile, who was already the King of Castile also inherited the throne of León from his father. In an effort to quickly consolidate his power over León, Ferdinand III abandoned a military campaign to capture the city of Jaén immediately upon hearing news of his fathers death and traveled to León to be crowned king. This coronation united the Kingdoms of León and Castile which would go on to dominate the Iberian Peninsula.
Alfonso's children by Theresa of Portugal[6] were:
- 1) Ferdinand (ca. 1192 – August 1214, aged around 22), unmarried and without issue

- 5) Constance (1 May 1200 - 7 September 1242) became a nun at Las Huelgas, Burgos, where she died.

- 7) Alfonso, 4th Lord of Molina (1203–1272)
- 8) Berengaria of León (1204–1237), married John of Brienne

Women's Tennis
Women's Tennis Downed by No. 53 DePaul, 7-0
Feb. 16, 2014
CHICAGO, Ill. - Facing its first ranked opponent of the season, the Michigan State women's tennis team was swept 7-0 at the hands of No. 53 DePaul. MSU suffered its second defeat of the season inside Lakeshore Sport and Fitness in Chicago. The Spartans fall to 7-2 on the season.
After defeating 17-time defending Horizon League champion UIC on Saturday, MSU continued its weekend in Chicago and headed to DePaul looking to pull off an upset. The Blue Demons were too much for the Spartans, as MSU was able to win only one match on the day.
The lone win for the Spartans came on the doubles end as senior Marina Bohrer and freshman Erin Faulkner won 8-7 on the top court, defeating Patricia Fargas and Ana Vladutu. The duo of Bohrer and Faulkner upped their season dual play record to 6-1. The Spartan doubles teams on courts two and three were not able to match court one's success, marking just the second time all season in which the Spartans have not won the doubles point.
In singles, the Spartans lost five of the six matches in straight sets. After losing the first set 6-1, junior Catherine Parenteau came back strong to claim the second set 6-2, but ultimately lost 6-1 in the third set.
MSU returns home for three matches next weekend as it hosts Western Michigan on Feb. 21, and a doubleheader of Milwaukee and Wright State on Feb. 23.

i use to love Faidley's jumbo lump crabcakes, it was the best thing since hot apple pie ala mode, that was about 4 or 5 yrs ago, i went to Faidley's faithfully every weekend and then i started to notice a change in the taste they were too salty and too wet and the size was smaller, and the price got higher, so i went back a few more times and i just didn't like them anymore, even the cream of crab soup had changed, more watery...so i went on a city-wide search for a good crabcake, and that took forever, but i'm satisfied now...

Stylish and modern wall mounted exterior light.
Stylish and modern wall mounted exterior light.
"The old dunndee lights were a class product. These new "dundee" lights are much cheaper quality. Made from thin white plastic. The picture shown on the web site if of the old dundee lights and not the ones you will receive. Not worth the asking price in my opinion"
"Appearance is pretty good - especially at the price. They are cheaply made but they do not look cheap when mounted nor do they draw attention to themselves. The light they shed is surprisingly soft and even; ideal for those patio parties as well as finding your way to the shed in the dark. There is a crude flat reflector behind the bulb to help shine light outwards and the top and bottom are clear to allow light up and down the wall. Simple but efficient! Having put up 7 of them I can say with confidence that the design is very simple but there are a couple of minor design flaws. Firstly, it is intended to be fixed with only two diagonally opposite screws BUT if your brickwork is imperfect, and it will be, you may need to drill extra fixing holes to stop the back plate from distorting. If you do that, make sure you use plenty of silicon grease to seal around the screws. Whilst you have your silicon grease handy I suggest you also use some to help seal the glass cover which is not held on very rigidly. The other minor problem to watch out for is that the cable entry point is only slightly recessed into the back-plate. This makes it difficult to route the cable UPWARDS towards the back-plate grommet and DOWNWARDS from the wall. It is important to gently kink the wire so that water is not fed down the wire into the light nor into the wall. Water must be pursuaded to drip off safely. For extra water protection I also seal the top and sides of the back plate with clear setting mastic. It only takes 1 minute per light so why not. Use your head though.... for goodness sake don't seal the bottom edge!"

The Quiet Claims
Claimed RHP Josh Wall off waivers from the Marlins. [10/4]
Wall heads to a new organization for the second time this year. He joined the Marlins in the Ricky Nolasco trade, but never appeared in a game for the big-league team. Instead, Wall becomes one of the first victims from the Marlins' front-office shakeup. Formerly a second-round pick, Wall throws a low-90s fastball and a plus slider, though his location skills are mediocre. Should all go well he could develop into a middle reliever; otherwise it's an up-and-down life for him.

Canadian Rowers Deliver Another Stellar Performance in Eton Dorney: Women's Eight Takes Second
Two years ago rowers Lesley Thompson-Willie, Andreanne Morin, Darcy Marquardt, Ashley Brzozowicz, Natalie Mastracci, Lauren Wilkinson, Krista Guloien, Rachelle Viinberg, and Janine Hanson came together to form the Canadian Women's eight boat with the common goal of competing in the London 2012 Summer Games.
Yesterday, they realized that goal.
"I had so much trust in the work we've done," said Darcy Marquardt of Richmond. "We've been so consistent day after day in training and racing this season. We laid it all on the line…[for second place]. We can't be upset with that."
The favorites going into the race were the defending champions from the U.S. This indomitable crew had not seen defeat in international competition in seven years and, as it turned out, they weren't ready to relinquish that winning streak.
The Dutch crew made an advance on Team USA in an early attack to no avail and the Canadians held out to make their bid for victory until the last 500m. It was a valiant effort, but one that resulted in a respectable second place finish. They will followed by the Netherlands women who rounded out the podium in third.
"[The Americans are] a formidable crew and maybe it would have been a different result on a different day," said Natalie Mastacci of Thorold, Ontario. "But this is what happened today and you have to applaud. They're a great crew."
You also have to applaud the Canadian's for another stellar performance in Eton Dorney.

One thing we can't deny is that a lot of Hollywood actors are good-looking. Their pretty faces grace the cover of magazines displayed on the news-stands we pass by. Or in the commercials that come up on our television. Some even get featured in music videos.
However, while it pays to look good in Hollywood, an outstanding performance given by an actor is the true gem when it comes to watching a movie. I believe an actor can make or break a movie's plot. A great actor has the ability to let the character he's portraying overshadow his appearance or celebrity status. Just as they say true beauty is what's on the inside, I say the true beauty of actors is watching them transform into their character on screen. Beautiful acting is all about disappearing into your character, making that character real and alive.
A good performance isn't the only thing that flourishes one's acting career. An actor's capacity to be versatile is also an appealing attribute because it prevents type casting. If an actor can play multiple roles, then that actor has the tendency to stand out in every character he portrays.
Taking this into consideration, let's look at ten actors who've proved to us that acting is more than having just a pretty face.
Check out the next page to find out who's on the list.Next
10. Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain is an actress who has surprised me with how much she's accomplished in what seems to be a short period of time. Five years ago, I didn't even know who she was. Yes, Chastain appeared on the television screen prior to the big screen, but her movie career just started recently and it seems to have skyrocketed.
Chastain's shown that she's not afraid to be adventurous in her roles, so she definitely doesn't have a problem with typecasting. Her roles have differed greatly, from playing a young adult in a coming of age movie Jolene, to a special agent in The Debt, to the sweet and naïve Celia in The Help, and many, many more.
I believe she has the ability to embody the role of a character and make that character come alive on screen. She never fails to impress and each performance is more interesting and impressive than the last. Chastain's achievements are a sign that hard work is the definite key to success.

9. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio has to be one of those actors whose name can be substituted as a synonym for great acting. In fact, he might be a bad example for this list because when I watch his movies, I never forget that I'm watching Leonardo DiCaprio. But this is not because of his handsome face or the charming nature he exudes on the big screen. It is simply because DiCaprio's personas are marked with an expressive, acting signature that seems to exclusively belong to him. It's an extremely raw talent that gets captured on screen.
DiCaprio's flexibility as an actor is a testament to his astonishing performances. With every role he plays, he adds a certain level of depth to the character he portrays. In a movie, it is more than what his character says or how he behaves, but also his body language – the way his body expresses his emotions. From his depictions of anger as Frank Wheeler in Revolutionary Road to his expression of despair in the dream sequences of Shutter Island, DiCaprio has displayed quite a wide range of captivating performances.
In addition, he certainly isn't afraid to explore villainous roles either. Assuming the role of a charming and abject plantation owner, Calvin Candie, in Django Unchained, DiCaprio pushes the limits of his acting further. An effort that I thought would definitely garner him an Oscar nod but unfortunately did not. Hopefully, his role in the upcoming movie, The Great Gatsby, might add an Academy Award to his list of accolades.
Leonardo DiCaprio is great at what he does, and it also doesn't hurt that he looks good while doing it either. Can you tell he's one of my favorites?

8. Emily Blunt
The first movie in which I saw Emily Blunt perform was The Devil Wears Prada. While the movie featured well known actresses, like Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, Blunt's acting leveled with that of her co-stars. Playing Streep's senior fashion assistant, Blunt gave one of the most memorable performances in the movie. I think that was her breakthrough moment, and I must say that her spotlight didn't dim after that either.
She went on to star in other movies, most notably The Young Victoria, a movie that garnered her a few nominations, including a Golden Globe. Her transition from a fast-talking, fashion-loving assistant to a regal, soft-spoken queen was simply flawless.
Blunt shows that acting isn't all about having a pretty face and she's quickly become one of my favourite female performers to watch.

7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
We all remember that really cute high school kid in 10 Things I Hate About You, right? Since then, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has evolved into a very sexy Hollywood actor. Some people are born with tremendous acting skills, and Gordon-Levitt seems to have a range of them in abundance. If he's not charming you in 500 Days of Summer, then he's making you empathetic in 50/50 or pulling you into a labyrinth of dreams in Inception.
However, Gordon-Levitt's good looks aren't all there is to the actor. And he's mostly proved that in Looper, where he dons that distracting prosthetic make up to look like a younger Bruce Willis. His acting steers viewers away from his appearance so that we can focus on his actual performance, and what a performance it is.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a perfect example of an actor who proves that it's not all about his looks when it comes to being on the big screen.

6. Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman's got beauty and brains, as her degree from Harvard suggests. Although, when we watch her on screen, we tend not to care about either…well, maybe we care a little about her looks.
When Portman starred in her very first movie, Léon: The Professional, we saw great potential. Then she took that potential and transformed it into something beautiful in Closer. In the dark thriller, Black Swan, she was absolutely fascinating to watch, the range of emotions she evoked in the viewer attested to that. However, we must also not forget her striking performance as Evey Hammond in V for Vendetta. After all, Anne Hathaway isn't the only actress who's cried while her head was shaved.
Portman is always electric to watch on screen with whatever character she plays. She can easily alter her emotions, with crying from one moment to laughing in another. It's like her face is a canvas for her character's emotions. While she's quite beautiful, her beauty extends to her acting.
Portman is an actress who can steal your breath away, simply with her facial expressions.

5. Andrew Garfield
Andrew Garfield seems like a guy with whom I can discuss comic books. And when I think of both topics, I think of The Amazing Spider-Man. The American-British actor is in one word: dreamy. But before I stare into space and continue thinking about his dreamy looks, let's focus on his other talents, like acting, because he's good at it. Garfield's so good in fact that he's earned BAFTA and Saturn awards, and Golden Globe nominations. It truly doesn't get better than that. Then again, maybe it does.
Sometimes, when you think of an actor, you immediately think of one movie in which he or she was phenomenal. In Garfield's case, I remember three: Never Let Me Go, The Social Network and The Amazing Spider-Man. All very different roles, if I might add. In Never Let Me Go, there's a particular scene where his character, Tommy, breaks down and screams out his frustration. It was one of the most chilling and sublime performances I'd ever seen and I'm certain that Hollywood has yet to see more of Garfield's acting capabilities.

4. Emma Stone
What can I say about Emma Stone? This naturally blonde beauty pretty much stole my heart when she landed her first leading role in Easy A, in which she played a high school student who gets a bad reputation. While her character acquired a bad rep, Stone shined with her performance and received much deserved recognition.
In The Help, she once again managed to deliver. Her script selections have ranged from romantic comedies to dramas to superhero movies to crime films. She's dipping her toes in everything and no matter what she chooses to do, we can always expect an excellent performance, proving that Emma Stone is much more than just another blonde beauty.

3. Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling might not have been named the sexiest man alive, but we know that he is one of the sexiest actors ever. If you weren't convinced in The Notebook, then I'm sure Crazy, Stupid Love changed your mind. The actor's certainly got charisma. However, the key to wooing a movie fanatic like me, as I've been saying, is how believable you are with your acting skills. And people, Gosling is pretty believable.
I was sold with his performance in Lars and the Real Girl, where he played a quirky, introverted character that falls in love with a human-looking doll. Gosling added a vulnerability to the role that translated to the screen and tugged on my heart strings.
In addition, his performance in Blue Valentine was raw and gripping, so gripping that I think it might have squeezed my heart a little. The sadness he portrayed with his character, the expressions of love and longing, they were so compelling. Gosling may be pretty to look at, but he's also a beautiful actor to watch.

2. Scarlett Johansson
I believe one cannot talk about pretty faces without at least mentioning Scarlett Johansson. Also, I'm sure she's been called one of the sexiest women in the world countless times. She's a woman who radiates beauty and sexiness when she's on screen, no matter the role she's playing. She's had a plethora of performances which have highlighted her acting ability.
In spite of that, I will mention her performance in Girl with a Pearl Earring. Portraying Griet, a maid employed in the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's household, everything about Scarlett seems to try and make her blend into the background, from her demure appearance to the meekness of her character.
However, the actress delivers a striking performance that arrests your attention and practically makes her stand out in the movie. Her character may have been shy, but her acting was very bold and riveting to watch under the subtle tones of the film.
Scarlett Johansson's career has proved that beauty can come in all forms, including acting.

1. Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper was named the sexiest man alive by People Magazine in 2011. And we certainly can't disagree with the magazine when he's dazzled us with his sexy hair and his charming smile, which he has showcased in movies like Valentine's Day and He's Just Not That Into You. No one can deny that he is a very handsome actor.
However, Cooper's shown us that not only can he develop great chemistry with the ladies in romantic comedies (and perhaps guys, too) but he can also entertain us, like he did in The Hangover, which was a huge success at the box office. Cooper's succeeding roles have established that he's not afraid to handle serious characters either, if the script required it. Think of movies like Limitless and The A-Team.
While I've enjoyed watching his past movies, I must say that it's his performance as Patrick Solitano in Silver Linings Playbook that really emphasized his range of acting, due to the nature of his bipolar character. Cooper handled the role with an exquisite grace that, in the end, scored him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. And I'm certain that this is just the beginning to the path of his success.
And there you have it. Of course, there are many more actors that can be added to this list who have more than just their pretty faces. These are just a few of them. Let me know which other actors you think who have proved that beauty is only just the surface when it comes to acting.Previous

Couple sues over tainted crackers
Published on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 by
Jack Kintner
Read More
A Blaine couple, Bill and Shannon Rector, filed a lawsuit on March 6 in U.S. District Court in Seattle against the Kellogg company alleging that the company's Austin brand peanut butter crackers made their family sick because it was tainted with salmonella.
Bill Rector got sick last January 15. He went to the St. Joseph Hospital emergency room, was treated and released but returned to the hospital the next day and stayed for the next three days. On January 17 their daughter Payton got sick and was admitted to St. Joseph and she also stayed for three days.
Kellogg issued a precautionary recall on the crackers on January 14, the day before Bill Rector got sick, but the Rectors had been eating them since December and had just begun to feel symptoms. The suit seeks unspecified financial damages due to medical expenses, medical and emotional distress and possible future medical problems.
While in the hospital both Bill and Payton Rector tested positive for the strain of Salmonella Typhimurium that was traced back to the Peanut Corporation of America processing plants in Blakely, Georgia and Plainview, Texas, the same month. The plants, now shut down, had provided peanut butter and peanut paste used by many other food processors. As a result, dozens of companies have recalled almost 3000 products, making it one of the largest food recalls in American history. More than 600 people in 44 states have come down with a salmonella infection traced to that source.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration maintains a website where consumers may check a growing list of recalled products at www.fda.gov.

Posted by: firstname.lastname@example.com
ASHLAND, Neb. (AP) _ A former city councilman has pleaded not guilty to a charge that he stole water from the city of Ashland in eastern Nebraska.
The Lincoln Journal Stay says Chad Yochum made his plea Wednesday and asked for a non jury trial. Saunders County Attorney Scott Tingelhoff says the trial has been set for August 22nd.
The 39-year-old Yochum resigned his Ashland council seat last week, citing work commitments.
Yochum is one of two people charged with stealing water from Ashland. The other is 52-year-old Lorene Garrett, a neighbor of Yochum. Garrett also pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
Police say Yochum disconnected his water meter and Garrett tampered with hers.

Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.
Untreated dental decay is defined as the presence of untreated caries. Caries is the disease that causes tooth decay and can lead to cavities in teeth. This indicator is tracked using the Oral Health Examination component of the Continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, collected since 1999. The measurement protocol has been described. Data on missing primary teeth are not captured by NHANES. Indicators of caries in primary teeth omit missing teeth to avoid potential misclassification of teeth lost to natural exfoliation as missing due to caries.

Beat holding feathered excitement
Everyone's cause just valued
Except to the cat from the bird just brought in
Huge eye pearing, cat playing, bird living
Nature just and only to it's own justness
Never decided with something right or wrong
Factored figures far from our bird's concern
Lost unless held with heart
Non-mediator thought broken between bringing unjust
Left to deal with remaining bones
Questioned future, hopeful survival or wincing
Faltering forecast finally circling
Grasping bird and situation
Justness thoughts wondrously wisped
Prior value's importance gone
We spent the remaining time determining
Where to place our injured bird
Not dying, flying or living until let go justly
Fleeing winged flash of light
Reflected lost time lesson
Wondering journeys went where
or lived on because it just let us go
No matter how far, it flew far enough
Each eye from our start
Holding onto this?
Cat fleas' flashing light chiming
'Have you seen my shirt?'
Ha, we threw them out the window at 30,000 feet
While coaster wakeboarding from first class aisles
Evolved from 'not free', Party started in lineup to pee
Stewardess ran up while it ran down our legs, All cared for was smiling not said
Only this one second ride, laughed about wasting so much time
Some best deal searching
Not known or danced to with zest
Oh there seat 19m flea breakdancing, she's the best
Joined celebrated movement of destination
185 fleas fell alive flying together
Leaving feet, minds in dreams, hearts left dancing
Breaking out in song near seat 14z
'When gone beyond - Life shaped future as a note to a song
Geometry built swaying louder - Vibration transformed hearing life
Ignorance towards nature, compassion or trust - Flew away in a sacred silent space
Between freeing sounds found within, Lifting up mountain air partners
Singing across all worldly waters, We forever belong and are listening together'
Bird then chirped 'Time told peer within perspective tested internal visions
meticulously drawn into planned postulations
of moments gone beyond the screen.
Intensity memoried around evolving,
laughing need to feel achieving yesterdays mingled
where our forgotten remained.
Anticipation explained learnedly study how but not ticks ticking on and on
against tender potential cast birthings
ripped among bouncing horizoned skylines
where we as expectations flew by.
Opportunity's dancing feet will twirl endlessly on
your 'Welcome to your tomorrow!' mat,
while shadows of hopes hold out passing chasing merging molecules of destiny
felt only to be moving yesterday.'
Merging climbing nuances
Bought an expired ticket playing our life story and popcorn
To distract from abstract meanings
of consumption and grasping.
'One more' to the barkeep 'we have gone beyond!'
'Why ask the world to repeat a question' said the stranger
'to move beyond needing one more?'.
Dear less needful day's point
Raised pondering precipices of preposterousness
This is this as the test of a test of our knowledge
Existing in existence than capable of sensing
With questioning that is all.
Woke up all thoughts
Put bags away and seated waiting
'Fashion seatbelts' chimed as life took off
Tear blurred visions fell out of seats straining to gaze.
Watching forgiven run ways holding hearts
Proclaiming 'life can't separate I leave from you leave!'
Instant distant longing destination from inward pursuit
Cared changing tingle able to love
Sounding connected truths erase strength of concerns.
Time scratched inspiring pursuits
Never need of method, measure or quest
Up against searching reason
With any more powerful answer
Than a simple just 'us'.
