DETROIT, MI (WTVB) - The Lions overcame early mistakes and penalties while being sparked by newcomer Reggie Bush to beat the Vikings 34-24 in the season opener at Ford Field. Bush had 101 yards and a touchdown receiving to go with a team-high 90 yards rushing and played through a dislocated left thumb and pulled groin he suffered in the first quarter. Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 357 yards and two touchdowns as the Lions topped their NFC North victory total from last year when they were winless in the division on their way to a 4-and-12 record. Joique Bell added two rushing scores for the Lions while on defense, Detroit picked off 3 passes from Minnesota quarterback Christian Ponder, who also lost a fumble. Viking's All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson had a 78-yard touchdown run on Minnesota's first play from scrimmage but ended up with just 93 yards.
Next on the schedule for Detroit is a road game Sunday at Arizona. The Lion's other rivals in the NFC North had mixed results yesterday. Defending Division champion Green Bay lost 34-to-28 at San Francisco while the Bears rallied to beat the Bengals 24-to-21 in Chicago.
The Week One schedule wraps up tonight with a pair of games as Philadelphia is at Washington and San Diego hosts Houston.

Women of the House of Madoff
Voices, November 18, 2010
Would that life in a back office were so easy. Your boss tells you what return to deliver for a given client and your job is to figure out what false trades fill the bill. And then maintain and revise history as you need it to fit.
That much is largely already known about the multibillion dollar Ponzi scheme run by Bernard Madoff, the former chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market. This was covered both deeply and insightfully by John Dodge a year ago on these pages, in "How Bernie Made Basket Cases of His Customers' Accounts." He showed how baskets of false trades were run through an IBM AS/400 computer, known internally as House 17, which spit out equally false account statements to clients, large and small.
But the suits filed Thursday by the Securities and Exchange Commission that led to the arrests of Anne Bongiorno and Joann Crupi, two former back officer workers at Bernard Madoff Investment Securities, tell a tale of greed run amok and abetted more by chutzpah than computer.
Let's say Bongiorno wanted to create some new trades and backdate them to months already gone by in order to "fix" previously issued account statements.
She or her staff would just ask "certain investors" to return them. Bongiorno would cross out old trades, add in new ones and give the documents to keypunch operators, whose job it was to enter the alterations. The new improved fake statements were then sent back to the investors.
This was done using the ironically named computer program, STMTPRO. Get it? Statement Pro.
STMTPRO produced statements at least fifteen times during a given year. In some years, substantially more often. Whatever it took to meet the House of Madoff's latest version of reality.
So "skilled" was she at managing the back office, she could produce huge returns for an account even before it was opened.
This is the case of an already wealthy acquaintance who wired Madoff $125 million in April 2006 through an entity the SEC called Investor B.
Madoff's handwritten instructions to Bongiorno on what to do with this depositi:
"Use 125 mil to set up trading with 51 mil in gains[;] I1-Stks[,] 3 are losses[,] 8 -gains[,] net 51 mil gains[,] no margins."
Bongiorno followed the instructions and started creating trades that took place in January 2006. Soon, she had created $39 million of profits for the account, as of April 30.
By September, the profits were registered at $81 million. Investor B, at that time, took out $125 million. And in April 2007, withdrew another $55 million. A nice 44 percent payback, in hard cash, in one year. And the account had "money" left in it.
The payback for Bongiorno is pretty well set out by the SEC, as well.
Bongiorno was able to buy a home in Manhasset, New York, for $2.8 million, and a home in Boca Raton, Florida, for $1.25 million. Even as the fraud collapsed, Bongiorno and her husband were in the process of purchasing another multi-million dollar condominium in Florida, on which they had made $1.3 million in down payments. Plus, Bongiorno and her husband drove a Bentley, the SEC said. Not bad, if you started out as an office assistant in 1968 and made that office hum.
Crupi, for her part, kept a daily record of the funds deposited in and withdrawn from the main account used to perpetrate the Ponzi scheme: the account where investor money was placed, some money was used for redemptions to other investors – and most was sent on for, say, a "personal need of Madoff.''
Crupi "memorialized this information daily on index cards and sheets that she maintained by hand,'' the SEC found. And Crupi prepared or directed the preparation of daily reports for Madoff reflecting how much investor money was deposited and withdrawn from the account.
But even with all this shuffling of the index cards and sleight of STMTPRO keypunching, the scheme almost came unglued long before the credit crisis erupted in the fall of 2008.
The SEC found that Madoff Investment Securities "suffered a liquidity crisis" in fall of 2005.
Madoff had to ask a wealthy longtime investor for a loan to get through it. He got $100 million in government-backed securities in November of that year and another $50 million in January 2006. In both cases, he took out loans from a bank, using the securities as collateral.
Crupi would note this deposit in her daily report as a "BLM special loan."
Crupi also knew her math. If a fund had to earn a certain return by the end of the quarter, she calculated what the fund should have earned, subtracted what earnings the fund "already achieved" in the first two months and then constructed a basket of trades to make sure the fund showed the return it needed. Excel spreadsheets can be magical.
And if there were no actual holdings in the Madoff coffers?
Crupi would do research that found banks that could serve as phony custodians of the assets shown on customer statements.
For her great work, Crupi earned a salary from BMIS that exceeded $350,000 in 2008, the year the scheme collapsed. She also wired $2.25 million from the Ponzi scheme account to buy a beach house in New Jersey. And she ran up $270,000 expenses on the firm's credit card, which she never had to pay back.
Crupi's attorney, Eric Breslin, and a Biongiorno attorney, Nina Mandel, were not immediately available Friday morning for comment on the charges or the arrests.

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms — specifically, disease-causing microorganisms. Microbiology is responsible for identifying infectious agents in tissue, bone marrow, blood, urine, sputum, feces, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids. Also in any foreign bodies such as catheters or artificial components. The infectious agents are then tested for sensitivity to certain antibiotics used to treat infections.
Microbiology uses various techniques to identify microorganisms, including the following:
Chemical, immunological, and genetic tests
Examination under a microscope
Microorganisms can include the following:
Blood culture
Can diagnose bacterial infections of the blood
Burn, tissue, and wound culture
Can identify disease-causing organisms in various tissues
Sputum culture and/or nasal swab
Can identify upper and lower respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia
Stool culture
Can identify parasites that cause disease, such as pinworms
Urine culture
Can identify disease-causing organisms in the kidneys and urinary tract
Throat swab and/or culture
Often used to diagnose or rule out strep throat
If the culture identifies an infection, the disease-causing microbe may be tested to determine its sensitivity to antibiotic or antimicrobial drugs. This culture and sensitivity test can help the doctor identify an appropriate medication to treat an infection.
Cultures may take 24 hours to 48 hours for results. Antibiotic susceptibility studies may take another 24 hours to 48 hours.

One Direction; 2nd Year Anniversary "This is just the beginning for these boys."
"It's quite strange to think about that the thing I want most is actually one of my biggest fears like for us to take over the world and be that huge boy band. At the same time being known on such a wide scale is a huge fear because you'll never be able to be the same person ever again." —Liam
"I travel around, going through different experiences every single day with four of my best friends who I didn't know two years ago. And now we are close as brothers." —Harry
"With the boys going through exactly the same thing you're going through and we can literally talk to each other about anything…Anything. And I think that's a special thing." —Zayn
"Yeah we've had a good year, but no one can say that we've actually succeeded until we're passed away and people are still playing our records and people are still buying our music. That's when you'll know that you've done well." —Niall
"I hope when we look back in how many years when we're granddads, and we look back in the band, I just hope that when we look back on it and think 'We had the most amazing time and that we've actually stayed true to ourselves.'" —Louis

Untold perspective on teen fathers
Advertisement - SNO Ad Network
All too frequently in teenage pregnancies, the father's side of the story is belittled to that of the mother. Television shows such as "16 and Pregnant" often condemn or even glamorize the mother's perspective of unplanned teenage pregnancies, but all too often the father's perspective is ignored, untold and unaccounted for. Pregnancies in high school alter the lives of more than just the mother, and often high school fathers get a bad reputation. While they may have chosen to make decisions that most students are warned about from an early age, many teen fathers are unfairly attributed traits that they do not possess; such as laziness, apathy, and even abandonment when it comes to their children. Often their attitudes are entirely different than those of the stereotypes they are cast into.
Studies reported in the New York Times have disproven the common "hit and run" ideology associated with teenage fathers. Over the years, teen fathers have actually begun to step up to the plate, and Chapin can attest to that.
Daniel "Daddy Dan" Hayes, as he has been dubbed by some, has worked tirelessly to support his now thirteen month old daughter Marley. As all teen pregnancies go, Daniel was shocked to learn that he would be a father during his sophomore year of high school. But now that Marley is here, he's not about to quit working until she's taken care of.
Only being able to see Marley several times a week, Daniel (now a junior) always makes sure that his schedule is cleared for her visits. "She is great. Nothing could make me happier than her."
Over the summer, he worked several jobs, and continues to work nearly twenty hours a week. Giving up much of what made him teenage Daniel in the past, he has now begun the transition into early fatherhood. "I just don't have the social life like I used to, which isn't necessarily a bad thing."
As much of the attention falls on the glowing mother in a typical teen pregnancy, the fathers should not be forgotten. Facing equally challenging but totally different problems of their own, teen fathers are to expect things such as higher risk of dropping out, an expected 10-15% lower annual salary than those who had children later in life, an increase in likelihood of expressing criminal behavior, and nearly two decades of mandatory child support. Chapin's own Daniel Hayes has been doing a very successful job of taking on his role as "Daddy Dan" so far, and Marley seems to enjoy the spotlight. "As for my plans for the future, nothing much has changed. I still plan on attending college and proceeding forward with as normal a life as possible."
It seems as if when bad luck comes his way and the cards are not dealt in Hayes' favor, he works that much harder to turn the tables around and make his own luck.
It takes two halves to make a whole, so let us not ignore the second half, and the fact that it also has a voice of its own. Teen fathers have their own story, their own perspective in the controversial issue of teen pregnancy. And more often than not it can be found that teen dads actually work hard to support their kids. Not to right a wrong, but to ensure a secure future for their own children.

what was Marty's coaching record?
they say Marty couldn't win in the playoffs, so that's why he was let go. but what good is a playoff winning coordinator, if he can't even get to the post season?
my point, at least Marty gave us a chance at the post season. and with the chargers, he wasn't going to lose forever, but now we'll never know. and it's going to be a long time, with our current coach, before we see the post season again.

JERUSALEM (AP) — President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned appeal Thursday for Israel to recognize that compromise will be necessary to achieve lasting security and to take steps to reverse an ''undertow'' of international isolation that is worsened by its failure to make peace with the Palestinians. Militants again underscored Israel's vulnerability by firing rockets into a southern border town.
Obama declared anew that Israeli expansion of housing settlements in disputed territory only hinders chances for fruitful negotiations with the Palestinians, but he did not say as he has in the past that they must be halted.

New Nikon P100 superzoom goes backlit CMOS, 26X and adds 1080p video
The new Nikon P100 follows up on the P90 exactly one year later, and drops the 12mp 1/2.3" standard sensor for the new 10mp 1/2.3" backlit CMOS sensor that is becoming popular with superzooms in 2010.
The camera also goes Pinocchio, from 24X to 26X, with a new effective focal-range of 26-678mm with a sensor-shift image stabilization. This also takes advantages of the new 1080p 30fps video recording mode, a new trend in superzooms, since the majority of the top models offer 720p video. This could be a feature that can generate interest for the P100.
The camera has a 3-inch tilting LCD (460K), along with an EVF, in-camera HDR, 10fps burst mode which is apparently a defining characteristic to the Sony backlit CMOS sensors.
The camera is available for pre-order at Amazon for $400, which was also the starting price of its predecessor, the P90, whose price has now dropped to around $330.

We examine the new iPhone 5s's Touch ID feature in Q&A format, and consider situations where you'll have to depend on your passcode instead.
iPhone 5s fingerprint scanner could be mobile security game changer
Apple isn't the first to introduce fingerprint authentication on a mobile device, but it could be the one to make it mainstream.
The iPhone 5s fingerprint reader: what you need to know
Does Apple's new Touch ID technology mean the end of passcodes on your iPhone? Is it truly secure? Rich Mogull answers those and other questions.
Developer Craig Hockenberry has some interesting ideas about what an iPhone fingerprint scanner could do.
Why would Apple add a fingerprint sensor to the iPhone?
Incorporating a fingerprint sensor on the iPhone could change the way we access everything from Twitter to our bank accounts. And it could make our devices a lot less interesting to would-be thieves.
Remains of the Day: What about Bob?
What's going on with Apple's Bob Mansfield? Will the new iPhone know you--I mean, really know you? And when is it okay for Apple to search its employees belongings?

Dean's standing committees 2013
Committee charge list for 2013
February 14, 2013
Dear Faculty Member:
In an attempt to assure greater interest and broader participation in the Dean's Standing Committees of EVMS, we are conducting our annual survey of faculty to clarify which committees faculty members would prefer to join. This information will help greatly in selecting suitable candidates for committee membership. In addition to other criteria, faculty membership on such committees is a significant factor when faculty is being considered for promotion or tenure.
Click here to view the Committee charge list for 2013, a list of the Dean's Standing Committees and the charge of each committee. Please indicate the four committees on which you would prefer to be a member (number according to preference). Keep in mind that the commitment to serve customarily requires regular attendance and the term of appointment begins on July 1, 2013. Individuals usually serve no more than three years on a committee.
The process of nominating faculty for appointments will begin on April 8, 2013. Consequently, if you desire to serve on a Committee, we must have your list of preferences by March 27, 2013. Please forward your preferences to either Alice Fretwell at email@example.com or Suzi Goldsmith at firstname.lastname@example.com. These listings will serve as an important resource file for the selection of interested and suitable candidates for committee membership.
The intent is that all faculty have an opportunity to serve in the committee structure and that no individual be burdened excessively. Your help in this effort is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Alice E. Fretwell, Director
Office of Faculty Affairs

Tuesday morning, SWAT members and DPS officers arrested two people accused of using and dealing heroin.
They served a search warrant on a home in the 700 block of Solano Drive about 6:45 a.m. Investigators say that the residents had been selling drugs for a while -- and also had a history of run-ins with Child Protective Services.
30-year-old Adman Armandi and his girlfriend, 24-year-old Heather Seaholm, were taken into custody.
They were booked into jail on charges related to possession and sale of heroin, crystal methamphetamines, and illegal steroids.
The house was turned over to DPS to collect evidence.

Ronnie and Sammi just came to the HollywoodLife.com offices in NYC and revealed the big news — they've just bought their first home in New York! Read on for all the details!
Ronnie Ortiz and Sammi Giancola aren't just roommates on MTV's Jersey Shore, they're back in a relationship and living together! HollywoodLife.com just spoke to the MTV stars and they revealed what it's like being back together and owning their first love nest together!
"We actually went to look at apartments this weekend, and found something, we are moving to New York," Ronnie tells HollywoodLife.com.
But of course, we had to ask how they even got back together!
"It was more that we both took a break after Italy and Jersey," Ronnie told us. "And we've both grown up as people. We both had to find ourselves. We got to the point where if you can't make someone else happy, you can't be happy. We are very happy with ourselves and each other."
Sammi definitely feels the same way, and she wants fans to know that there's a lot more to their relationship then just what you see on the show.
"It's only an hour a week," she says. "There's a whole bunch more to the story. By being in a relationship, you go through a lot of ups and downs. At the time, it was a rough spot for me. But me and Ron, nobody got to see that we had a real connection. There were a lot [of reasons] for me to stay with him."
We asked Sammi if she's in charge of decorating their new place and she said you better believe it!
"I'm excited," she said. "We love interior decorating, but Ron is good too, so he is going to help me!"
But are we going to see their pad covered in pink and leopard print like Snooki and JWoww's place?
"I'm definitely unique," she says. "A little different than Nicole and Jenni."
Ronnie added: "Yeah, I'm not going to have animal print in my house!"

I just want to say thank you prophet ahmed for all you have done for me.
He is back now. That very powerful spell caster STOP THE DIVORCE – and get my ex boyfriend back.
My name is Joy Philip, from Canada. I never believed in love
spells or magic until i met this spell caster once when i went for a business summit
last month. I meant a man who's name is PROPHET AHMED
he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one's gone,
lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or
luck spell .I'm now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to
marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down because our
relationship has been on for 3years. I really loved him, but his mother was
against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster,i
told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At
first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try.And
in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend(now husband) called me by
himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his
mother and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I
didn't believe it cos the spell caste only asked for my name and my
boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now
and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and
our lives became much better.in case you are in any situation you can contact
prophet Ahmed at his email {firstname.lastname@example.com} or his personal cell +27612522805
Thank you for all your help prophet.

Ughshessuch a beautiful girl, although she does have a lot more agression than most girls, but she deserves better. Sickens me to see such a loser creep like Ronnie dogging this girl so much, trash talking their relationship and being so emotionally closed off and cold to her. Every woman deserves better than Skeezy Ortiz-Magro. How many Stds do you think poor Sam has gotten from this loser? Ugh.

Sam was the only real girl in jersey shore. All the boys were trying to betrayed ron. I no sam it wasn't easy for you girl but you are a winner. You have made it to the end. I watch the jersey shore only to see what will happen to you and ron. And I prayed every day for the two of you to make up back. And I am very happy for you both. Ron you have a good girl and I wish you both the best in life
Posted at 6:57 PM on October 15, 2012
I totally agree I watch the show to find out what goes on to ron and sam. On the show ron has done some pretty chidlish and hurtful things to sam but you know all relationships go through hard times. But as you can see something holds them together I hope that they have a very happy life together. I also hope ron has learned to hold his alcohol a little better when it comes to sam and her feellings. I love everyone on the show but sam and ron are def.. my favorite. And also CONGRATS to Nichole and fiance hope your life is everything you have dreamt of.

I think Sammy and Ronnie or adoreable and I think that people just need to realize that there people to you Jenny is a s*** Nicole is a nasty skank see me and Ronnie are the best to people on that show I
also love Pauly and Vinny Jenny is a nasty s*** and so is Snooki and so is Deena I love you u ronnie and sammie
Posted at 7:14 AM on July 20, 2012
I actually think Sammi and Ronnie's relationship is the only real relationship in that house. That's why they were interesting to watch….when they fought…you felt like you were watching a real fight. Snookie and Jionni's relationship is fake. Snookie just wanted a baby and be married…marriage not so much. But, Snook's could care less who father's her baby. Jionni wants the money that comes with being w/ Snookie…so he could care less if she slept with Mike and Vinnie. No love bewteen them. Just greed. Roger just wants JMann's money. Their relationship is as fake as her boobs. But, you can sense that Sammi and Ronnie wanted their relationship to heal from constantly being in the spotlight so they purposely played it down in Season 5. The fact their relationship has been public since day 1 and televised made it harder to maintain. But, I think they are figuring it out….I hope it works out. Team Sammi!

Dr OLOKUN brought back my lover when others failed he is the best spell caster on planet earth.
I had contacted several spell casters to help bring back my lover after he left me and my son for 2 yrs and moved in with another woman they usually promise and at the end fail.
2 weeks ago i was on the street and a lady was sharing this hand bill so i collected one and the content was about this spell caster that brought back her lover and also in the hand bill she said she is sharing the hand bill to raise awareness that there are still real spell casters and also as a way to thank the great spell caster.
before i meet this lady who shared the hand bill had already given up on spell casters because they only promise and fail so this faithful day when i meet this lady and read the content of the hand bill was like before a lady will share this hand bill on the street it means the spell really works so contacted him and after 24 hrs my whole story changed my husband who had left without any reason came back.
using this post as my own hand bill to tell people how great DR.OLOKUN is and also to share his contact with the whole world.
his email:(dr.olokunspell2caster@gmail. com) for your solutions call +2347051841955.KAREN

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This analysis is done by persons with medical, accounting, human resource development backgrounds. The elaborated aspects which going to be discussed also includes law and media analysis.
The first outbreak news from SINA (chinese portal news) stated "Kris filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment and the lawsuit is similar to Hangeng's case, who left Super Junior after nullifying his contract". Let me emphasize the odd part of this statement:
- In order to file a lawsuit in Korea, the presence of Kris is truly required when submitting the lawsuit request. However, the news outbreak appeared when Kris is in Beijing, claiming Kris has submitted the request. And the Korean court confirmed that they have received it 2 hours later. This statement does not make any sense. If Kris was in Beijing, who submitted the lawsuit request? No lawyers and representatives were allowed to do that, according to Korean law. That's totally a big question.
- "A similar case to Hangeng's" has been quite ambiguous. What kind of lawsuit did Kris submit (if it is really him)? How similar is it to Hangeng's case? Is it really about contract termination? Let us remind you, lawsuit does not always mean contract nullification. It can be anything else.
From those statement above, we need to rethink and don't absorb the news completely. This statement has already drawn a misleading commotion, making people think Kris really filed a lawsuit regarding contract nullification.

Redis and PHP: What Library to use?
Ori Pekelman discusses in two posts — here and here — the status of the various PHP libraries for Redis:
After looking at all of these I quickly turned to the C extension, Redisent looked nice but did not implement the new unified bulk protocol, and to be true, the code was a bit buggy. The others (Predis, Rediska ) seemed like bloatware, that capture the real essence of PHP (making complicated incoherent APIs) while missing that of Redis (Simple, Fast, Awsomeness).
As you can imagine such a comment generated some reactions and Ori followed up with a (not exactly scientific) benchmark:
While initially considering 6 PHP libraries (phpredis, Predis, Redis PHP bindings (deprecated), Redisent, Rediska), the benchmark didn't include Rediska as the library is defining a too custom API for Redis.
Do you have a different experiences with any of these Redis PHP libraries?

Salisbury, MD. If you're one of those folks who, when s/he hears the word "iris", only thinks of the pale lavender variety that grew in her mother's garden, the Gardening Grannies would like to broaden your horizons. Often referred to as "flags", there are some 260 species of flowering irises within the family. Named for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, irises sport a wide range of colors which make them quite deserving of their name.
An iris is a plant that can survive an incredible amount of neglect. Granny Griffith likes to tell the story about how, when she was a child on the farm in Ridgely, the kids would sometimes have to "thin out" the crowded rhizomes and toss the extra plants over the barbed wire fence into the pasture. Sometimes the plants didn't quite make it over the fence and would get hung up on the barbs. As kids, they would just leave them there with a "close enough" mentality and move on to the next chore. Granny swears the irises could survive long enough, hanging there on the barb, to come into bloom just from the moisture in the air.
If you are just starting your personal collection of irises, the Gardening Grannies suggest asking friends and neighbors to share a rhizome or two. It's an economical way to get started and, if you ask for them when in bloom, you'll know exactly what colors you are getting. The color choices are incredible and you may want to start with some of the old time lavender ones for a sense of history. You can then increase your collection as your friends and checkbook allow by bringing in snowy whites, huge yellows, deep mahoganies, velvety purples, and two toned varieties.
Garden-grown plants, as opposed to garden center plants, will provide a fairly accurate idea of bloom time. Irises, like many other families of plants, include early, mid- and late-season varieties. If the plants are shipped in, the purchaser has no clue what the water, temperature and other conditions were that may have had an effect on the bloom time When the flowering is over, the Grannies suggest you "neaten up" the bed by cutting off the flower stalks down close to the first leaf. That's all you usually have to do for the rest of the season. Irises will take care of themselves and their sword shaped leaves will lend textural interest to your flower beds all season long.
If there is a marshy area, stream or pond bank in your garden, look for something referred to as "Siberian Iris". They do extremely well in those spongy areas and can spread rapidly making glorious carpets of color ranging from yellow to purple.
An interesting and relatively recent development in iris culture is the re-bloomer. Normally, an iris only blooms one time a season. A re-bloomer will sport flowers twice a year. They accomplish this with the rapid growth of rhizomes into maturity and, by late summer, the new rhizomes are ready to bloom. More plants. More blooms. How can you go wrong with that?
The only critical aspect of ornamental iris culture would be to be sure that the top half of the rhizome is exposed to the sunlight. Irises almost can't be planted too shallowly. If rot develops, it is most likely because the drainage is poor, the rhizomes are planted too deeply or are covered with mulch. No matter what the soil type or moisture availability, there is an iris that is going to thrive there! The key to successful gardening is simply the right plant in the right place.
The Gardening Grannies are a group of avid and Master Gardeners who live, love and garden on the Delmarva Peninsula. They can be reached at email@example.com.

UPDATE: Washington State University athletic director Bill Moos has lifted DeAngelo Casto's suspension. He will play tonight against Northwestern in the NIT quarterfinals.
This is the statement from Moos released by the university late this afternoon:
"There has been a great deal of discussion regarding DeAngelo and his situation over the past 24 hours. In reviewing new information that has been brought to my attention, I am removing DeAngelo's suspension effective immediately and he will be available to participate in tonight's NIT Quarterfinal game. There are unique circumstances involving this matter and I feel the appropriate avenue to take is to allow the legal system to run its course before we consider further action."

PULLMAN – KREM 2 Sports Director Tim Lewis confirmed late Tuesday night that DeAngelo Casto is the third Washington State men's basketball player to be arrested and cited for possession of marijuana this season.
Here's what happened, according to the Pullman Police Department:
Early Tuesday morning (around 1:20am), officers were on foot patrol near an area where they've had several burglaries recently. They saw the screen missing from a window, so they decided to check it out. When they looked inside, it appeared that someone (Casto) was rolling a marijuana cigarette at a table.
The officers knocked on the door and Casto answered. The police instantly smelled marijuana. They explained to Casto what they had seen outside and asked him to bring the marijuana to them. He complied with the request.
The officers didn't have a citation book at the time, so they asked Casto to come to the police department later in the day. Casto arrived at the station around 10pm with his attorney. That's when he was officially cited for possession of marijuana (technically arrested and released). Casto will be asked to appear in court within the next two weeks.
WSU head basketball coach Ken Bone suspended Casto indefinitely on Tuesday afternoon. That means Casto will miss Wednesday's NIT quarterfinal game against Northwestern.
"I am disappointed in DeAngelo as he let himself and his teammates down," said Bone.
Washington State Director of Athletics Bill Moos added, "It is important that our student-athletes realize that they are held to a high standard and that a lack of good judgment can be costly, especially in the postseason when so much is at stake."
Reggie Moore and Klay Thompson were both arrested for marijuana possession earlier this year. Both served a one-game suspension.

How long does it take a guy to climax/ejaculate?
My boyfriend takes like 20-25 minutes, he used to take like 5-10 and now he takes longer :SIs this a good thing or does it mean he is not enjoying the sex/oral sex?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
It means he's getting used to it and his body is being "trained" so to speak. We have amazing bodies that adjust and train themselves to do things. Just like with weight lifting. We lift heavy weights, and the more we do it, the easier it gets. With sex, it doesn't take much at all the first time, but the more we do it, the more our body adjusts.
What Guys Said 7
5-10 is what it usually is in the beginning when the couple is still new together. But as the guy gets used to being with her, he lasts longer. I'm sure he is enjoying it. No need to worry.
When you start having sex with someone there is a certain nervousness and excitement that does tend to speed things along (sometimes way too much) but as you become more relaxed and comfortable with your partner things can take a little longer. It's got nothing to do with you and certainly doesn't mean he's enjoying himself any less
He is just getting used to it that's all so turn off the usual and bust out with the hot and heavy new ideas and everything will be better
Hes definitely enjoying it, his body has just adapted to the euphoria of sex, you could try new positions, places but, he's probably feeling pretty good about his increase stamina, so don't worry
It's a combination of things. You're not as attractive to him because there's no mystery left, having pounded you so many times before, and also now he's used to your technique. So he is probably enjoying it less, it's bound to happen with time. It'll happen to you too, if it hasn't already. In the meantime, you could try busting out some kinky new shit to make it interesting again.
Again I'm in med training I'm not gay but when a female is having sex the vaginal area is much different after being slammed so many times A virgin vagina is tender and more enjoyable for both of you but the more times the girl has sex the more rough and scared on the inside of a vagina so when you guys first started out you were new? If so than that's why also if a guy masturbates before sex than it'll take him an extra 15 mins to make more sperm
Alcohol can make a dude last a long time: even as long as 1 hour.
What Girls Said 2
Were you the first girl he's done anything sexual with? That could be it--the newness of the situation is gone, and he's built up stamina, which is exactly what most girls want; usually, the longer he lasts, the longer the session, the more time for you to be "pleased" ;)Honestly though, you need to figure it out from him. Try to watch his face, the noises he's making, and his overall enthusiasm; these could be indicators. You could also ASK--it's hard and embarrassing the first time, but it ends up being totally worth it!
No I'm not his first, and he does enjoy it I can tell and he tells me, and he's all proud of himself that he's starting lasting so long, and yeah longer pleasure for me, but sometimes it takes so long and we both get tired or something
we started aving sex about 4 months ago, and when we av sex it takes him 5mins or even less. its amazing cause even if we do it 3 times a day he still cums so fast but it usually happens when I am on the top, maybe its just cause I get wet so fast and he says I'm so warm inside. but if he is ontop he takes about 8-10mins.

Path of Exile Beta Impressions
Last year, when Diablo III was still a dot on the horizon and I was looking for things to tide me over in between, I discovered 2 things. The first is that in the wake of D3's announcement an entire genre seems to have sprung up around this point-and-click 'action RPG' concept. The second was Path of Exile by Grinding Gear Games.
Have a gander at the video above. As I said in my last post this seems to harken to a visual style and skill economy more like the first Diablo than its by-far more successful sequel Diablo II. That is to say the game is suitably dark and aspires to realism while having a system where each class can effectively acquire and use all the spells in the game. (And incidentally, isn't there someone in particular the last video in this post reminds you of?)
I've now had access to the betas of both Path of Exile and its mammoth Blizzard-developed contemporary and if something strikes me more than anything else it is that the difference between the titles (budget aside) falls mostly along those lines I'd previously identified. While D3 is characterised by a strictly controlled experience to the point that it would like you to pick from subsets of skills when mapping buttons (denying the ability to map anything anywhere as its predecessor allowed), PoE seems a lot more free-form and less structured.
One stark design difference is that in PoE you're not shepherded from area to area by quests. Indeed it's often the case that you should explore new regions on your own before finding things to trigger new quests or open up new dialogue opportunities with the NPCs in town.
Wanderings in PoE are also less aimless simply for the increasingly interesting loot you can expect to drop. Yellows (rares) and third up the tree from whites and blues (magic) do actually drop occasionally off rare and unique monsters when in D3 they don't even consistently drop from bosses. Also since skills are itemised and socketable, it's not unlikely to clear out a group of mobs and find Frost Nova just dropped for you.
Funny thing to say against D3, the quintessential loot-driven game if there is one, and something that might not even be necessary later in the experience, but the loot itself was quite boring. The range of
I didn't mean to ramble about Diablo in this post as much as I did since I fully intend to writeup that constantly-changing beta in its own article. But really, when comparing this games and others like Torchlight 2 there's little sense in ignoring the gigantic elephant in the room that will steal players and press attention away from the smaller players however you slice it.
Anyway, next up for PoE will be my opinions of the 5 thus revealed character classes. So far I've been playing and liking the Marauder class as well, but to close off here are some more videos of my Witch.

There are some numbers we can look at though. Since the penalty-shoot-out was introduced in the World Cup in 1982, it has been the eliminator twenty times. The team that shoots the first has won 60% of the time and 30% penalties has been missed out of 186 taken. Most memorable is perhaps the World Cups that have been decided by penalties: in the finals between Brazil-Italy in 1994, a game where "nothing happened until the penalty kicks" and most recently when Italy clinched the trophy after their 5-3 penalty win against France.
Today it was a game before the penalties. But that is how cruel and merciless football is, that after the game people barely remember the action sequences, the almost-goal-moments, marvelous runs, performances, kicks, tackles, and remember only who won. Who missed. And who saved. The latter never happened today as we saw 7 perfectly executed penalty kicks. Schoolbook examples of excellence. One hit the crossbar.
Japan out, Paraguay to the quarterfinals where they will face winner of Portugal-Spain.

Now is the start of sweet things to come. Today is Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and in one of its happiest traditions, Jews ensure the coming year will be a sweet one by enjoying sweet food.
This ritual began long before candy bars and ice cream, back when sweetness came by way of nutrient-rich fresh fruit. Fruit is still where sweetness and nourishment meet. Conveniently, Rosh Hashana coincides with the time of harvest.
Dipping apples in honey, traditional among Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Eastern Europe, poses a problem for vegans. Honey is made by bees, and vegans abstain from animal products.
There's a sweet, plant-based solution — dates. They're a Rosh Hashana tradition for the Sephardic Jews of the Middle East, and no wonder — date palms have grown there for 6,000 years. In California, date cultivation began only a century or so ago. Wherever they're grown, they're at their ripe peak right now.
Low-glycemic and loaded with potassium, iron and other essential minerals, dates are also loaded with puns and symbolism at Rosh Hashana. The word for dates in Hebrew is tamar, which sounds like the Hebrew phrase "to stop," as in stop your enemy.
Can eating dates repel bad guys? Data is inconclusive. However, they've been enjoyed as a source of energy since way before so-called energy drinks. This fruit is all that and a mouthful of natural candy, too.
If what you know of dates is a box of pressed, processed cubes, a real one, whether fresh or dried, is a sweet revelation. Deglet Noor dates are slender, with a little chewiness. And then there are Medjools. Considered the king of dates, Medjools are the largest variety, gooey and astonishingly caramelly.
Dates are beloved by bakers and sweets lovers everywhere, from the Middle Eastern date-stuffed shortbread cookies called mamoul to your auntie's date nut bars.
Another reason dates delight — they offer natural, low-glycemic sweetness, dairy-free moisture and egg-free body to vegan baked goods. Very nice, but there are other ways to date. Just a few add a sweet complexity to savory stews, salads and whole-grain dishes. Stuff a whole one with an almond or enjoy dates at their sweet and simple best, plain and whole, with a cup of coffee or tea.

If you decide that Edinburgh is the right university for you, you must make your application through UCAS. This is the case for both national and international applicants. For guidance, advice and application deadline, please go to http://www.ucas.co.uk/students/apply/ . All UCAS applications are done online.
Your application will be considered by the University's Student Recruitment and Admissions Office (SRA). You will then receive a Conditional or Unconditional Offer, or you will be informed that your application has been rejected. UCAS does not tell us about your applications to other universities.
Video guides from UCAS.
If you are undecided about whether you should apply for First Year (Broad Based) or Second Year (Fast Track) entry, we advise you to choose First Year entry. Later, during Fresher's Week (the week before teaching commences), you will meet your Personal Tutor (PT) who will discuss with you whether First Year or Second Year entry is the best option for you.
If you are unsure whether you should apply for the BSc or MPhys degree, we advise you to apply for an MPhys. The degrees have the same content and structure in the first, second and third years, but it is always easier to transfer from an MPhys to a BSc rather than the other way around. We do not ask you to commit to a decision until Third Year (Junior Honours). Grades allowing, we are very flexible and allow you to swap easily between the two types of degree.
It is better to apply for the MPhys option right at the start if you are seeking financial support from a public body. This will enable you to continue easily from a BSc (4 year duration) to an MPhys (5 year duration). It is always easier to request full funding of the Masters degree at the very beginning, rather than request an extra year's funding when you reach Fourth Year (Senior Honours). It is also easy to inform a funding body that you won't need the MPhys year's funding if you ultimately decide to graduate with a BSc.

Israeli gangster: Mafia wars responsible for spate of assassinations
In the 2007 movie American Gangster, Frank Lucas laments the chaos sweeping the Manhattan underworld after the death of crime boss Bumpy Johnson. "It's chaos. Every gorilla for himself," he says.
In Israel, a comparable situation has prevailed following the assassination of one of the country's top crime lords two years ago. The ensuing tit-for-tat killing spree is now threatening to cause havoc across the country, Ha'aretz reports.
On February 24, 1993, top mafia boss Yehezkel Aslan was gunned down on a popular street in Tel Aviv. Until the hit on Aslan, top crime lords were thought to be untouchable. Since the killing, Ha'aretz reports, chaos has reigned; and a coastal gang war has spilled over into the heart of the country.
According to the report in Ha'aretz, twenty years after the Aslan hit, killings are ordered by low-level crime figures on the spur of the moment. New gangs seem to sprout up daily and car bombings have been used to target rival thugs, threatening public safety. Many of Israel's crime families came from Russia around 1989, seeing the country as a good place to launder money.
Yitzhak Abergil, who controlled protection, extortion and gambling rackets in the coastal cities of Holon, Bat Yam and Rishon, created a "one-man bank" of loan sharking. Once every so often the body of a debtor would turn up. The network was a gold mine and at the role of the dice the house always won. But in May 2011 everything changed.
Abergil was extradited to the US and into the vacuum stepped the young leaderless "soldiers". The struggle to inherit Abergil's empire has split the three cities. Rival gangs led by Abergil's deputies waged war on each other. Eventually one came out on top: Yossi Mosli. The Mosli Gang threatened the livelihood of the old order — those still loyal to Abergil. Then came the recent assassinations.
First old Abergil cohort turned Mosli ally Avi David was knocked off. In February 2012 Daniel Samara and Ohad Franco joined him. A car bomb that went off in Tel Aviv in January is being linked to the coastal crime wars.
Two of Abergil's deputies who lost out to Mossi are due to be released from prison in the coming months following sympathetic plea bargain hearings. One of the men, Yaniv Ben-Shushan, told a policeman guarding him: "When I get out of here, you're finished, you don't understand, you're going to end up under the ground. You don't know who you've started up with."
What do you think the authorities could do to stem the killings? Should the authorities be doing more? Let us know your thoughts.

I ordered these for our staff team as a 15 year program anniversary present and they were perfect as our team work with children with developmental challenges and the 'You make a difference every day' was really pertinent to their work and their commitment to the children on their caseload.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great gift with a daily inspiration!
By Acts of Faith Leader
from Pineville, LA
I am a drama leader at our church. My team doesn't always see that they are making a difference in people's lives. I told the starfish story to them and then gave the keychain as a gift to those who drive. They were touched!

STEVENS POINT, WI (WTAQ) - Stevens Point will consider a new set of regulations for a new type of smoking lounge.
A Common Council committee will meet Monday night to discuss a plan to regulate vapor bars -- places where electronic cigarettes are smoked. More and more of them are cropping up in Stevens Point.
Officials are considering a possible legal definition, in which vapor bar regulations would apply if at least a quarter of the floor space is dedicated to e-smokers.
The city attorney says officials could also require conditional use permits for vapor bars.
