Luis Suarez's 4-month ban for biting opponent in World Cup upheld
The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Luis Suarez's four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup, but cleared him Thursday to train with Barcelona. CAS said FIFA's sanctions against Suarez are "generally proportionate to the offence committed." Suarez cannot play for Barcelona until Oct. 26, and he remains banned for Uruguay's next eight competitive matches. Suarez has admitted to biting Italy defender Giorgio...

Brazil rethinks future after World Cup failure
SAO PAULO >> The World Cup held potential disaster for Brazil — the country, not the team. Yet the country pulled off a magnificent tournament, albeit with a few bumps. It's the team that has left many Brazilians wondering what went horribly wrong. The Cup was widely seen as theirs for the taking, especially on home turf. They finished in fourth place with their star badly injured and the brutal memory of a 7-1 rout by the Germans in front of a global...

Cheers, tears as Germany beats Argentina in World Cup final
HOLLYWOOD >> At 33 Taps sports bar and restaurant on Sunday, the German-born Stefan Oriold found himself standing next to Argentina native Vivi Rama as they both nervously watched the final match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Oriold, who lives in mid-city, wore Germany's black and white jersey and shouted "Ger-Ma-Neeee!" while pumping his fists in the air when his team finally scored the first and only goal of the game in the 113th minute. The two rival fans...

Lionel Messi's World Cup ends on a bitter note
RIO DE JANEIRO — Lionel Messi's final act in the 2014 World Cup was lifting a free kick high over the bar, wasting Argentina's last chance to equalize in the final against Germany. It was far from a fitting finish for the four-time world player of the year. This was supposed to be Messi's World Cup, just like the 1986 tournament belonged to another Argentine great, Diego Maradona. But after carrying his team through the group stage in Brazil with...

Germany wins World Cup, beating Argentina 1-0 in extra time
RIO DE JANEIRO — Mario Goetze produced the piece of individual skill that Lionel Messi couldn't muster. With two quick, deft touches, Goetze ended Germany's 24-year wait for another World Cup title with an extra-time winner against Argentina on Sunday — denying Messi the one title he needs to forever take his place among the game's all-time greats. It was the moment of brilliance that ensured Germany's 1-0 victory in a tight and tense...

World Cup: Lionel Messi's vomiting unexplained
RIO DE JANEIRO — Argentina captain Lionel Messi vomited during the World Cup final, as he has done on many occasions both for Argentina and club team Barcelona.

Despite several medical tests, Argentina and Barcelona team doctors haven't been able to find the cause of Messi's problem. The striker has played it down, saying it's just something that...

World Cup: Germany and Argentina at 0-0 at halftime
RIO DE JANEIRO — The World Cup final between Argentina and Germany is still level at 0-0 after the first half. Argentina was the more dangerous team in the first 45 minutes of play, and forward Gonzalo Higuain the most dangerous player. The Napoli striker missed a great chance to put his team ahead in the 21st minute, shooting wide of the net after an errant headed backpass. He then had a goal ruled out for offside in the 30th. Germany was forced to play without Sami...

The Sun Bowl isn't just college football's second-oldest bowl game, tied with the Sugar and Orange. it's also a game with a tradition of providing hair care for the mothers and girlfriends of its participants.
Having been there last season, as well, Georgia Tech players know the routine. Among the bowl gifts given to participants in the Sun Bowl, where Tech will play USC Dec. 31, is perhaps the oddest present of all 35 bowls – a hair dryer.
When told last year about the hair dryer, defensive end Izaan Cross said, "I was like, O.K., my mom gets another Christmas present."
By NCAA rule, up to 125 bowl participants per team can receive up to $550 worth of gifts from bowl game organizers. Typically, the most awarded gifts are watches, gift cards and gift suites, in which players are offered a variety of merchandise. This year, the Sun Bowl package also includes a Timely watch, Majestic fleece, Top of the World cap and a coin in addition to the hair dryer. The $350 gift suite from last year's game, when Tech played Utah, is no longer.
The hair dryer has a story. The hair dryers are made by Helen of Troy, headquartered in El Paso, Texas, site of the game. The company has been a long-time supporter of the game.
For the Yellow Jackets, largely a close-cropped lot, the hair dryer was a re-gift last year, and likely will be again.
"My mom was asking for it, so she'll probably get it," center Jay Finch said.
Said Buzz Preston, Tech's clean-pated wide receivers coach, "I surely don't need it."
Outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu was one of the few players to put the hair dryer to use. He uses it to dry clothes that he hand washes.
"Or if I'm about to go out and I iron a shirt and water comes out on the shirt, I use the hair dryer to dry it up," Attaochu said. "It's handy."
Another was safety Coray Carlson, who went to the Sun Bowl last year having grown out his hair since the start of the season.
"I thought it was kind of funny because everyone on the team was, like, What am I going to do with this?" he said. "In the back of my head, I was like, Oh, nice."
Alas, Carlson recently buzz cut his shoulder-length hair, donating his 11-inch tresses to Locks of Love, the nonprofit that uses the hair to make wigs for children with medical hair loss.
"Maybe I'll try giving it to my girlfriend or something," he said. "I'm pretty sure hers broke or something."
Hair dryer aside, the Sun Bowl took care of players last year with its gift suite. Long snapper Tyler Morgan called the recliner he picked out his best bowl gift from his first three bowl trips. It sits in his living room in front of the TV, right next to the one belonging to Finch, his roommate.
"We each go home and relax, just like old guys," Morgan said.
B-back David Sims' all-time favorite gift was from a gift suite at the Orange Bowl, a Sony surround sound speaker set that he still uses every day.
"That was our first time, so I was like a kid in a candy store," he said.
From the same bowl, Cross picked out a camcorder.
"I think I gave it to my mom," she said. "I think she broke it."
It surpassed the fate, at least, of safety Jemea Thomas' hair dryer.
"I have no idea," he said. "I really don't know what I did with it."

Nice gesture, on part of the bowl committee and its sponsors. But, most will end up in the "I have no idea" category as stated by Jemea Thomas said. Things things you can use, some things you keep as 'keepsake' rememberances, and some things (logo caps, bandanas, socks) are just junky tourist trinkets. But, everybody does need a watch or 3. Those choosing camcorders and ipods and sound systems probably already have an equal or better quality item, so why not re-gift them.

Glad the kids are having some fun after all they have been through this year.
I am amazed by all the fans here saying "we" don't deserve to go to a bowl, as if they had any thing to do with it. Even if you are disappointed in the team's performance this year, why would you deny the players this opportunity?
A bowl game is one of the few times that a player is treated special and honored, and has time to enjoy the trip.

They should give the Jackets all of USC's swag as well, for disrespecting the bowl and the city.

@ marietta eagle…..how about you please get a clue. Ken does a superb job of reporting Ga Tech sports; most of us think he's the best around. What's wrong with an article about bowl gifts? It may not be important, but it's still interesting and humorous. And like NOVAJacket said, practices are closed, so he relates the information to us that he has.

Spoiled teams. A gift is a gift. Although we El Pasoans are happy to host the teams that are invited, and once you're here you'll see how friendly everyone is, what we do not appreciate are the ungrateful comments which always seem to come out of someone's hole. It never fails…never.

Patsy, on behalf of all Georgians I would like to offer a sincere apology to the fine people of El Paso for having to endure two bowls in a row of Georgia Tech football. We are all very embarassed and if there is anything that we could do you can rest assured that we would do it. If its any consolation we have to deal with this clown show pretty much year round. It never gets any easier. You have my sympathy.

Patsy…..on behalf of all intelligent Georgians, I would like to offer a sincere apology to the entire world for having to endure the rantings of ignorant trash like dawgfan, who has probably never ventured anywhere outside the state of Georgia and doesn't even have a clue where El Paso, Texas is. People such as he are an embarrassment to even the lowest forms of animal life on this planet, and yet we have to endure his ignorant rantings on an almost daily basis. Of course, you probably see people like him on a daily basis working behind the counter at your local fast food establishments. So you know exactly what I mean. At least, as far as I know, he's not on the street hustling. A mind is such a terrible thing to waste, but I guess it takes all kinds to make up the world we live in. We just have to grin and bear it.

@ Spanky……I'm sure they're not worried about you dwag fans; after all, nobody outside the southeast US has ever even heard of the dwags. You are irrelevant everywhere else in the world. However, since one of your ilk decided he could serve as a representative of the good INTELLIGENT people of Georgia, it was obviously necessary to apologize for his (and your) stupidity.
December 28th, 2012
2:32 pm
Supersize…that is one of the dumbest and untrue comments EVER MADE by your "ilk"!! UGA is in the top 5 of the most popular NCAA schools!! Look it up, Einstein! It's probably even here on the ajc!!
December 28th, 2012

This economy is killing everyone in small business, so why not also the small bowls? Cut backs are the wave of the future in this non-friendly business environment.

Supersize, here ya go! You are welcome!
December 28th, 2012
2:52 pm
@ Spanky……all that tells us is that UGA FANS are enthusiastic. It doesn't say a thing about the school's or team's popularity throughout the country. Of course you are popular with your fans; all schools' teams are popular with their fans. Some are just louder, or in UGA's case, more obnoxious than others. The fact that every ignorant red neck in Georgia cheers loudly for the dwags says absolutely nothing about what the rest of the country thinks of them. I trust you noted that Maryland ranked number 1 on the list. Now do you seriously consider Maryland a legitimate RELEVANT athletics force? Like I said, outside the state of Georgia, you are irrelevant.
December 28th, 2012
2:53 pm
I hope the players leave these laying around after they come back. They will make awesome stun gun replicas for our Star Trek reenactments that we do each year on campus to celebrate William Shatner's birthday.
I was hoping that they were the over the head type, which would make sweet space helmets for the Lost in Space Club that sits in section 102 during Tech home games. We actually just show up for the free hotdog and coke and trade anime cards. There's always plenty of seating space if anyone wants to join.
December 28th, 2012

@ GT Lee…..I guess that's a point that can't be heard…..again a sign of the dwags' irrelevancy.
December 28th, 2012
3:02 pm
If you use Spank's "logic" in interpreting that poll whose link he posted, that means that UGA isn't even as popular as Maryland; that's pretty bad in and of itself.

Sparky, your source is hardly definitive. Take a look at this one that compiled data from every television market and listed the results.
December 28th, 2012

Sorry to spoil your little joy parade, but I have seen quite a few Georgia Bulldog shirts, sweats, and even a car-flag in San Fransisco. I just moved from there. I never did see anything Georgia Tech.
December 28th, 2012
3:17 pm
@ Dawghater…..that was an incredible link. I wasn't prepared for those results at all. According to that, Tech is more popular (#11) nationally than UGA is (#22). WOW !!!! Take that, Spanky. And YOU'RE WELCOME !!!
December 28th, 2012
3:17 pm
Relevance can be shown by cash.
Most Profitable Programs in The Country.
#2 The University of Georgia (Football) – $52,529,885 profit
#44 Georgia Tech – $9,350,858 profit
How about national television coverage? No contest.
Has Gameday ever been to Tech? They might have, I'm asking.
You are located in the downtown area of the largest city in the State and can't fill a 50,000 seat POS.
Talk about irrelevant.
December 28th, 2012
3:18 pm
@ Rickster…..I am not disputing what you said, but I was in Moscow about 8 years ago, and in a shop there, I saw Matrushka (nested) dolls for quite a few US college football teams. I bought the set they had for Tech, and I also saw Clemson and Florida sets there. There was nothing there for UGA.
December 28th, 2012
3:22 pm
@ Follow the $……read the article Dawghater just posted the link to. It was in today's edition of the New York Times. Dollars aren't everything. Profits don't relate to popularity. Like I said earlier, when every ignorant red neck in the state of Georgia buys those ugly red shirts you see in all the stores, of course, there is a lot of profit. But nobody outside the state of Georgia buys them unless they have some kind of personal connection to UGA. Using the statistics that were used in putting together that article, Tech is more POPULAR, regardless of profits, NATIONALLY than is UGA.
December 28th, 2012
3:23 pm
Be careful, Rick…they might start crying…again!
GTLee…as usual, that made no sense, whatsoever! Guys, if you put this much effort into actually getting a real-life date, you might get successful!!
December 28th, 2012

@ Spanky…..then why don't you explain for us what a "mute point" is.
December 28th, 2012

…and Supersize, I know I'm welcome!
December 28th, 2012
3:25 pm
@ Spanky……nothing to say about the NY Times article just printed today? I would love to hear you explain that one away using your red neck logic.
December 28th, 2012

OKAY,OKAY,OKAY!! Dayum!! I meant to spell it "moot point"! Gosh, talk about your small little victories!
December 28th, 2012

That Geography of Football fans link is hillarious. Look at the map, after you read the warning, of course – Important: this map is highly inaccurate and should be understood only as a demonstration, and not as any kind of reliable data yet.
They basically give the Atlanta market to Tech, which we all know is a complete joke.
There are more UGA fans in Atlanta than Tech fans.
Do the math.
If there are drastically more UGA fans in the State of Georgia than Tech fans, how could there be more Tech fans nationwide?
No team has support beyond it's state, except for transplanted people and bandwagon programs like ND, Bama, now Oregon a little, FSU, Miami (not so much now)…
December 28th, 2012
3:39 pm
@ Follow the $……I didn't see that they gave the Atlanta market to Tech. As far as fans within Atlanta, there are probably more fans for all other schools combined (although not for one single team) than there are for either UGA or Tech. Because of that, IF Tech were to join the Big Ten, which I don't think will happen, and mostly don't want to happen, that would definitely affect attendance at Grant Field and probably help recruiting also. But that's beside the point. I have no idea what actual information they used in drawing their conclusion, but the fact remains, they said that Tech was more POPULAR NATIONWIDE than UGA is. Part of that is due to Tech's tradition, which admittedly it has not been living up to lately. But I can assure you that more people throughout the country know about the Ramblin' Wreck than about that ugly inbred mutt you have as a mascot. And that recognition is a part of overall popularity.
December 28th, 2012
4:06 pm
Wasn't Uga the Capital One Mascot of the year?
December 28th, 2012
4:07 pm
Yeah, Spanky, you knew the correct usage you just spelled it wrong.
December 28th, 2012
4:09 pm
@Rickster. Yeah, I think he was. I'm sure that makes everyone feel better — for a while, at least, before the next one dies due to generations of inbreeding.

Palm Springs is not the lively place for young and upcoming, sophisticated visitors it once used to be. Those people are all grown up, retired and visiting other cities around the world while the rest of us slowly roast alone in the summer months like a pork tenderloin.
The city has grown alongside those who were here in the city's heyday, but that doesn't mean Palm Springs doesn't have that certain social and musical grace that, for the most part, has slowly mellowed and waned.
The two-day, three-hotel Splash House pool party brought to you by promoters LED of Los Angeles, Pacific Festival of Orange County and Private Label of San Diego looks to show the world things haven't changed for the worst.

County Attorney
Jefferson County Veterans Treatment Court Program
The Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) Program is a voluntary program that includes regular court appearances before the Judge. It is a Court that closely monitors Veterans who want treatment for alcohol or substance abuse addiction and/or serious mental health disease. The Court works in conjunction with the local Judiciary, AOC, The Robley Rex VA Medical Center, Office of the Jefferson County Attorney/Commonwealth Attorney, Legal Aid, Community Corrections, Seven Counties and Louisville Metro Police Department. The VTC is a tool for case resolution that offers a stringent program that allows for the reintegration of the Veteran to society.The VTC will accept "qualified" Veterans from Jefferson County, Ky. Circuit and District Courts. Offenders from other jurisdictions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. VTC will accept male and female Veterans who have committed felony or misdemeanor offenses.Eligible Veterans are identified through legal screenings and evidence-based screenings and assessments, including a bio-psychosocial assessment and the VA HOMES assessment to determine the level of risk and need of the Veteran.
Criteria for acceptance includes:
Referrals for the VTC can come from many sources, i.e., the bench, prosecutor, Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) and/or a defense attorney. Once a referral is made, an inquiry form should be completed and returned to the County Attorney's Office so that a legal screening can be completed. If a defendant's criminal history and current charge do not preclude them from participating in the VTC, the defendant will be referred for an assessment through VA and the Jefferson County Drug Court Program. To download the VTC Inquiry Form, click here.
The VTC is a four-phase, highly structured program lasting a minimum of 18 months. Phase I is a minimum of 30 days; Phase II is a minimum of 8 months; Phase III is a minimum of 3 months and Graduation/Aftercare is 6 months. Individual progress and phase advancement will vary and each phase consists of specified treatment objectives and specific requirements for advancement. Treatment includes weekly individual and group counseling, drug and alcohol testing, mental health treatment and regular attendance at recovery support/self-help meetings. The Participants needs are evaluated by the VTC team and recommendations are made to the Judge.
Participants will be required to appear in court for progress reviews and will be subject to home visits and curfew checks conducted by the VTC Louisville Metro Police Liaison. The Judge will be given a progress report prepared by the VTC team regarding the participant's progress in the program. If the Participant is doing well, they will be encouraged to follow through on their progress. If the Participant is not doing well, the Judge will discuss this with the VTC team and further action will be determined. Repeated violations or the failure to progress satisfactorily may result in discharge from the program at which point the Participant will be entitled to a hearing before the sentencing Judge.
Once a Participant completes the VTC program, his/her supervision ends and the Participant will graduate. The goals, in addition to the successful conclusion of the criminal case, include the following:
1. Participant is clean and sober
2. Has stable housing
3. Is employed if employable
4. That those without diploma will be in school/others may be in college
5. Has recovery plan in place
6. Is stable, keeping all appointments and is in medication compliance

Following Stephens Win Cerrone Wants Fight In Denver | UFC NEWS
After picking apart a very game Jeremy Stephens, Donald Cerrone is ready to jump back in the octagon, sooner then some may think. Following the UFC on Fuel TV 3 win, Cerrone is ready to jump on the Denver fight card at UFC 150 in August.
In his previous fight Cerrone was defeated by Nate Diaz and is somewhat still coping with the feelings after such a tough loss and was looking to get back to the basics Tuesday night.
"Definitely coming off that last fight sucked, mainly going out there and having fun was what tonight was about." Said Cerrone, following the Stephens fight. "It was just trying to do what I do and have fun like I do in the gym."
Tuesday night Cerrone did just that, picked apart Stephens and utilized his jab pretty much the whole fight. He out struck and dominated the entire bout and went home a winner via Unanimous Decision.
Still, "Cowboy" feels that he has more to prove and work on.
"I'm slowly making the steps. I wish I would have attacked on the ground a little bit better."
Some think Cerrone may be on the road to an eventual title shot, but Cerrone is nowhere near looking past future opponents and is ready for whatever Dana White and UFC match makers throw at him.When asked about his next opponent, a reporter threw out a possible future bout with UFC lightweight star Anthony Pettis.
"That'd be a good match-up. Stylistically it would work out perfectly for me, he will stand and want to fight, try to take me down, and then ill beat him up. We'll keep fighting. It'd be a good fight, especially for Denver."
Pettis is the former WEC lightweight champ and would make an excellent opponent for the enthusiastic Cerrone.
Let's see if Dana allows this fight to go down in Denver.

Strapless Lace Gown with Ribbon Detail Style WG3381 88 88
LOVED this dress!!! This dress was everything I was looking for! It was SO comfortable... so many strapless gowns I had tried on previously were just too heavy, or too tight around the ribs, but not this dress. It was lightweight and simply elegant. The detail of the lace is beautiful, and it was the perfect look for my garden wedding. I paired this gown with a white rhinestone sash from David's Bridal and that completed the look. I did wear a corset and mermaid style flare skirt underneath, but I altered the skirt by taking out a layer of tulle. I only wanted it to flare slightly. I had a bustle added and had the length taken up in the front for my height, as well as some alterations around my hips and the sides, as the dress was just a little big (I purchased this dress in a size 6. I'm 5'6" and 125 lbs). It's easier to alter a larger size down. I was able to sit, dance, and move around comfortably all night. I have received so many compliments on this dress, and my husband said I took his breath away when he saw me in this dress. I would recommend this dress to any gal looking for the perfect mermaid/fit and flare style. You need to see this dress in person and try it on to see just how wonderful it truly is! June 26, 2014
loved my dress! I absolutely loved my dress! It ended up being the first one I tried on. The only complaint I have is its very uncomfortable to sit in or bend over. It made me feel beautiful on my big day though and I feel like it accentuated my curves. I'm not a skinny girl by any means and it made me feel and look skinnier then I actually am. I recommend it for any bride that isn't wanting to feel like a princess or too much poof. You can dress this up or down and it would work either way. It was absolutely perfect for me (: June 8, 2014
Best Purchase Ever I fell in love with this dress as soon as I put it on and I couldn't be happier. The display picture does not do this dress any justice. I am 5'8 and 154lbs, I brought this dress in a size 6 and it fit perfectly, with no alterations needed. I wore this dress at my destination wedding (May 9th) in Jamaica and got nothing but great reviews. I also purchased a slip to wear with it, but decided it was more comfortable without it. Although, the dress is beautiful, its a little uncomfortable when it comes to sitting down and blending over. May 23, 2014
Great for short/small framed girls Love love loved this dress. I tried on a few, but never felt more like a bride until I put this dress on. I am only 110 lbs and 5 feet tall, I felt extremely sexy but very classy in this dress. It is timeless and flattering in all the right places. I felt great on my wedding day. I wold recommend this dress to all petite brides looking for a classic look. April 8, 2014

Le Vieux Donjon, as it exists today, was created in 1979 with the marriage of Lucien and Marie Jose Michel. Both Lucien and Marie Jose's parents owned vineyards in the region, and those holding were combined to form Le Vieux Donjon.

Magic Mike
3 stars (out of four). Rated R for pervasive sexual content, brief graphic nudity, language and some drug use. Warner Brothers. On: DVD, Blu-ray and digital download.
Director Steven Soderbergh's eclectic filmography includes everything from star-studded blockbusters ("Ocean's Eleven") to limited-release biopics ("Che"), and he's more than happy to juggle genres. That makes him the perfect person to helm a film about a male stripper who can't wean himself from the perks of the job.
With "Magic Mike," Soderbergh delivers a movie with enough star power and flash to satisfy the masses but an emotional center that's rooted in the style of his independent efforts. The focus is on Mike Lane (Channing Tatum), a 30-year-old stripper who loves the women, money and good times that come with his job. Still, he recognizes that he's missing something, most notably a creative outlet that involves more than shaking his booty. So, he saves as much money as possible with the dream of someday starting a furniture-building business.
His straight-laced sister, Brooke (Cody Horn), is concerned about the lifestyle her brother has chosen. Brooke's worries prompt Mike to play big brother, promising that he'll take care of Adam, even though his abs are more defined than his sense of responsibility.
"Magic Mike" is an interesting project for Soderbergh in that much of the appeal is salacious. Since the movie is about strippers, Tatum and the other stars are often scantily clad, and that's an undeniable selling point for female moviegoers. Still, Soderbergh refuses to glamorize the sex industry. Rather, he depicts it as a business flush with fast cash, but hindered by pitfalls.
The movie is at its best when examining the two sides of Mike, the one that loves being on stage and the one that longs to leave stripping behind. Unfortunately, Soderbergh spends more time in the strip club than he does developing Mike's passion for furniture building. In fact, viewers never get to see him working on a piece, and that's a major liability for a movie about a man caught between two worlds.
DVD and Blu-ray extras include a making-of feature centered on how the cast prepared to play male strippers.
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
2 stars. Rated R for violence throughout and brief sexuality. 20th Century Fox. Available on: DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D
The thought of Abraham Lincoln as an axe-wielding vampire killer is just goofy enough to generate campy appeal. Surely, that's what allowed writer Seth Grahame-Smith ("Pride and Prejudice and Zombies") to turn his novel into a New York Times bestseller and sell Hollywood on his self-written screenplay. Unfortunately, the concept of "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter" is better than the execution.
The movie, directed by Timur Bekmambetov ("Night Watch"), is an unfortunately serious alternative history drama supposing that the American Civil War was actually a battle between vampires and humanity. Bekmambetov and Grahame-Smith do a reasonably good job explaining the premise, but the humorless presentation is a liability.
Viewers meet Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) when he is just a boy, and they learn that he hates vampires because one killed his mother. The film then follows young Lincoln's quest to destroy the monster that ruined his life. In order to succeed, he takes instruction from Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper), a mysterious man who knows everything about vampirism. His friends Will Johnson (Anthony Mackie) and Joshua Speed (Jimmi Simpson) also join the fight.
Instead, the director plays everything straight, and that makes "Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter" little more than an average horror thriller. Yes, it features a historical figure as the star. And, yes, the story is set against important dates in American history. Unfortunately the filmmakers don't have much fun with these things, and it's tough to recommend a vampire film that isn't fun.
DVD and Blu-ray extras include a making-of feature and an audio commentary by Grahame-Smith.

All our themes are listed on the "School Calendar" on the website. We have our themes listed for about 1 month at a time.
The Yellow Room is now called "Meadow" -- enjoy the wonderful cleaning and remodeling changes on campus. The Meadow/Yellow Room has not yet been painted, but will be newly painted during our February break (more information to come).

Thank you for coming to our Parent Visiting Day on April 28th! The children enjoyed doing their work with you. They are all happy you came to their special day at Montecito. :-)
We also want to thank you for coming to our class field trip at McClellan Ranch Preserve this year! The Children enjoyed looking at and touching some of the animals, including the reptiles like snake, turtles, lizards and others. A special thanks to Danielle, Ms. Louise's daughter, for sharing her pony Starbuck with us!
Our goal is to help facilitate a transition into the classroom and allow your child to separate from his/her parents into a safe, loving environment. To assist in this process, here are some things you can do to help:
Daily Schedule
8:30- 8:45 Arrival Time
8:45- 9:00 Outdoor Play Time

Buddy Bear Program
Buddy Bear will go home on Friday and come back to school on Monday. The child will choose a few weekend clothes for the bear (& maybe even give them a temporary name). They will get a special journal to write about (dictated by your child to you, to write on their behalf) and/or draw about (by your child) the bear's weekend adventures! The following Monday, your child will then share during Circle Time about Buddy Bears' weekend. We will start this program in September.
Small Group
Our class will start small group in September. Children will be separated into 4 groups of about 6 children each; this will be their small group for the year. The small group students will stay the same, but the teachers will rotate groups once a month for each teacher & student to get to know each other better. Sharing Day will be every Friday starting in September, during the small group time. Children can share whatever they want, except for anything fragile. Please put it in sharing yellow bag.
Extra Clothing
Please bring in an extra set of clothes for your child to keep at school for the year, in the plastic bags we have provided and label the pieces with their name and room code (3AY). Also, please label their jackets they bring daily, so we know who they belong to.
Special Snacks
Please limit special treats to birthdays and remember that all snacks must be previewed by a teacher before you bring them to school. This way we can ensure that all children (including those with food allergies) can have the special snack you're providing.
Parent/Guardian Visiting Days
Our Parent Visiting Day is scheduled for Monday, March 17th. On this day, at least 1 parent/guardian must stay the entire session with their child, as we will have special activities that day.
Contacting Your Teachers

For those of you who lead a hectic lifestyle and don't think you have time to build a kick-ass body, think again. The simple solution to your dilemma is combination compound training.
This style of strength training quickly builds muscle mass and dramatically enhances overall fitness while strengthening the body as a whole.
Performing compound exercises will help you save time as well as increase your power and endurance. This is because compound movements hit numerous muscle groups as you perform multi-joint movements through a range of motion.
Here are three great compound movements to get you in superior shape without spending hours at the gym:
Compound Exercise #1: Squat Jump Into Lunge
Target Muscles: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Calves and Glutes
- Set up a barbell on a rack, then slowly lift it off of the rack and onto the back of your neck. *The barbell should be a light/moderate weight that will allow you to confidently jump up without getting injured.
- Ensure your feet are shoulder-width apart.
- Jump straight up into the air and land into a squat position.
- On completion of the squat go straight into a lunge, right leg in front of left, then lunge your left leg in front of your right. This constitutes as 1 rep.
Perform 12-15 reps x 8 sets

Source: MTV Style (NOT BY ME)
So, the Olympics are still happening, and yeah, the U.S. has won 18 gold medals (so far), which is AMAZING and GREAT and everything, but despite all that, there seems to be another part of the games that people can't stop talking about—the nail art. We've already showed you all the killer designs that athletes have sported thus far, but haven't you been wondering just HOW every competitor got their hands on such mind-blowing manis? Well, as it turns out, one of London's biggest nail artists Sophy Robson (who some have deemed the "Nail Queen") teamed up with Max Factor to develop nail designs that are applied at P&G salons inside the Olympic Village. Niiiiiceee. After peeping these incredible manis all week long, we neededto hear from the nail guru herself! Sophy was nice enough to give us some insider deets on what the nail art scene is like in London during one of the biggest events of the year, and how the Olympic Games could change the nail art world forever.
MTV STYLE: OMG, nail art at the Olympics! We're so excited! What's it like doing nail art on the athletes?
SOPHY ROBSON: It was such fun working with the athletes—there are no egos involved and they are just excited to have something represent their country on their nails.
Did you pre-create designs for the athletes or can they request whatever they want?
For Max Factor, I created 207 country flag designs, which are being hand painted on athletes and their families at the P&G salons across London. Each design is based on the flags colors; however people can come in and choose whatever they want or a variation of different flags. It's really all about making sure the Olympians and their mum are looking and feeling their best throughout the games and showing their love and support for their countries in creative, semi-permanent ways!
What is the most popular nail design the athletes are requesting?
The Union Jack flag! We've done thousands and constantly having to order more Max Effect Mini Polishes in Ruby Tuesday and Candy Blue.
What is the craziest nail request you have gotten so far at the Olympics?
Some athletes are born in one place, but residents in another or have connections to other countries, so they tend to mix, match and merge some of the flag designs. In terms of the designs, the New Zealand fern logo was a bit of a challenge, and I had to draw the Guam flag, which has a lot going—there's a beach, boat and palm tree, all in one oval!
How does it feel to see your designs on TV or even—gasp—wrapped around a gold medal?
I am proud to be part of the whole experience to be honest. In fact, I am feeling very proud to be British at the moment!
How do you think London's nail art scene has affected the global view of nail art? Do you think it's making it more mainstream and widely accepted?
I think London, more than any other capital, is the place where expressing yourself through your style is more innovative and inspirational. Londoners are often forced to be creative with their style as they don't have the budget to spend a lot of money, but they have the resources to make themselves look eye catching and chic. Londoners are generally not afraid to try new things and that's why we have the ability to influence the world.
The focus on the athletes' nails has been unprecedented and I think it is brilliant for the nail industry that the mainstream is noticing it. If it takes athletes of world class status to bring nail art in to peoples living rooms and makes it acceptable, then I think it's a great thing.
Fantastic! Love seeing these on the olympians!
I thought we may have already reached the nail art tipping point, but I think I was mistaken. Let the record show that...

Is helping others a moral obligation?
A few months ago, we were debating in our Debate and Speech club about "it is a moral obligation to help those in need". I recently read a book by Dalai Lama "The Road to Happiness" I believe, in which this "issue" came back again. Are people born selfish? Can they change? Are people altruist? Can we help others? Should we help others? In case we do, is it because of the good feeling we get, or just because we want to help them? Can this be confused with weakness?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Anisha RikhyJun 29 2012: I believe that the definition of 'moral obligation' would differ from person to person, depending on their upbringing and their personal value systems. Thus, perhaps my definition of a moral obligation would be to help anyone in need, person X's could be to help him family in need and person Y's would be to only help himself in need. In the fast paced world we live today, the highly competitive surroundings have made us very selfish. Nonetheless, is this selfish attitude a necessity for survival ? Isn't it necessary to be selfish in order to live up to your aspirations, in order to ensure that people do not take advantage of you? Albeit I provide a highly pessimistic insight, I believe it to be true. On the contrary, helping some one would always involve on us giving up on something and this would portray strength.

Absolutely the best cup of coffee!
"For years I have enjoyed the traditional Community Dark Roast coffee, and rated it as the best cup of coffee. I occasionally tried other blends/brands, but none compared to my cup of Community Dark Roast. I purchased the Community Private Reserve Evangeline Blend to serve at a family gathering. I remember my thoughts after my first sip...."Wow.....this is the best cup of coffee ever!" Everyone loved the coffee! Traditional Community Dard Roast, I apologize, but you are now second to the best."

The increasingly large (and violent) protests in Egypt are being tracked by several Covert Contact monitors – Egypt, Egypt Widescreen, Muslim Brotherhood, Riots, and the Mohammed Morsi monitor are all picking up on the activity. However, there's a lot of unexpected action in the Black Bloc Monitor thanks to their growing presence in the protests:
An unpredictable new element has entered Egypt's wave of political unrest: a mysterious group of masked young men called the Black Bloc who present themselves as the defenders of protesters opposed to the Islamist president's rule.
They boast that they're willing to use force to fight back against Islamists who have attacked protesters in the past — or against police who crack down on demonstrations. The youths with faces hidden under black masks have appeared among stone-throwing protesters in clashes with police around Egypt the past five days in the wave of political violence that has shaken the country.
During protests in Cairo on Monday, masked youths celebrated around a police armored vehicle in flames in the middle of Tahrir Square, waving their hands in V-for-victory signs.
The Black Bloc Monitor can be found in the "Movements" section of subscriber's main menu.
Subscriptions to Covert Contact's array of hundreds of global security live streams are available for only $10 per month.

Aleksandr Serebrov turns 69 today. He was selected in 1978 from the design bureau Energiya and has made four flights into space. He became the first to use the Soviet SPK, an astronaut propulsion unit, to leave the Mir space station in 1990, as seen here. After retiring in 1995 from the cosmonaut group, Serebrov worked for the Russian secretary of defence.
Two cosmonauts ring in the new year with a birthday: Vladimir Titov and Sergei Avdeyev. Interestingly, both have made long stays on Mir, Titov made the record at the time in 1987-8 with 365 days and Avdeyev spent 379 days on the station in 1998-9.
25 years ago Soyuz TM-4 launched with Vladimir Titov, Musa Manarov and Anatoli Levchenko. Titov and Manarov would go on to spend 365 days on Mir, setting the record for long duration at the time. Levchenko only spent 7 days in space to gain experience, he was to be the backup for the first Buran flight. Sadly Levchenko died a year later from a brain tumour. (1987)
This is my new favourite crew portrait. Here's the Soyuz T-8 crew: Aleksandr Serebrov, Vladimir Titov and Gennady Strekalov. Usually cosmonauts keep their hands in their laps, but I love how Titov is holding onto Serebrov's arm. Unfortunately during launch the radar antenna used to dock with Salyut was damaged and they could not dock with the station. The crew had to return back to Earth after only 2 days in space. (1983)
Soyuz TM-4 crew, one of my all time favourite

Film Review
The Squid and the Whale
Bittersweet divorce drama leavens personal tragedy with private humor
According to statistics, roughly half of all modern marriages end in divorce. It would seem, then, that there are a lot of people wandering this Earth who can sympathize with a film that explores the repercussions of divorce. More, I would guess, than can sympathize with a movie about futuristic Marines battling demonic mutants on the surface of Mars.
Video Review
Terror Beneath The Sea (1966)
I definitely have a warm place in my heart for old-school Japanese-American film collaborations. The Manster? Pure genius. Green Slime? Now that's quality entertainment. So when you throw mutant gill-men, secret agent-style hijinks and freakin' Sonny Chiba into that mix, well, now you're speaking my language. That's exactly what we get in the officially-released-for-the-first-time-ever Terror Beneath The Sea. And to top it all off, it was directed by none other than Hajime Sato, the same twisted bastard who brought us the acid-trip on celluloid known as Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell. (Loyal Alibi Midnight Movie Madness patrons are still recovering from that bad boy!)

Umpiring and the World Series
The scene from the 1994 NBA Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bulls and Knicks is branded to my brain.
With 2.1 seconds left in Gane 5, referee Hue Hollins called Scottie Pippen for a foul on Hubert Davis when it was beyond clear that the slight contact came after Davis released the shot. Davis sank two free throws. The Knicks won 87-86 and ended up winning a series in which the home team won every game. This is not revisionist history.
Bulls coach Phil Jackson compared the call to the U.S. Olympic team getting jobbed against the Russians in the 1972 games. Darrell Garretson, the supervisor of officials at the time, at first backed the decision, the next season, admitted that Hollins blew the call.
For the rest of his career, whenever Hollins worked a game in Chicago, he was booed by Bulls fans. I even heard a Chicago fan boo him at Target Center when he worked a Bulls-Wolves game (I swear, it wasn't me).
I'm not saying that MLB umpires have lined themselves up for such treatment down the road. But right there with managers overmanaging and closers giving it up, this postseason will be known for bad umpiring.
We now know who C.B. Bucknor is after his two controversial calls during the Red Sox-Angels ALDS series,.
We now know about Phil Cuzzi for his call against the Twins in the ALDS against the Yankees.
And we know about Tim McClelleland – if you didn't already know him for his role in the George Brett pine tar game (yes, he's been around that long) – for his calls in the ALCS between the Yankees and Angels.
You can make a case for an expansion of instant replay for postseason games. It's the time of year in which everyone hangs on every pitch and cares less about length of games. So another minute to get a call right doesn't ruin the pace of the game.
MLB could have added instant replay to this year's World Series, but commish Bud Selig has rejected those suggestions.
So we'll just sit back and wait for the next controversy, Bud.
Meanwhile, you can read my man Jim Salisbury's preview of the umpires for this year's November Classic. It looks like the league has changed its approach in one aspect.
Sticking with Yankees in 5.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
It makes me sick I'm about to comment on a "teen show" but I gota comment I caught the first two or three seasons on TV and then lost track of the show. Then caught up on Netflix and Hulu recently. Seeing a show episode after episode can bring a different perspective then week to week over a year. It causes certain things to stick out and makes you hate the "TV" part ruin a story and at the same time the idea of how the story should end by somebody higher up get in the way of what was developed on screen.
So much of this show became lets move the chess pieces around the board and have the game reset after the first "check" is made. That's very much the idea of most TV shows but GG straddled the line of providing arch's vs resetting the board. The show can be summed up as "we can't be together now until we have grown up because I love you". So we have relationships set up at the begging in the first year that cements audiences into believing who these characters are suppose to be with. Only to make them stay apart because "we're not ready to be in love this young". A often used ploy for TV. Only on GG it became egregious and IMHO caused the ratings slide.
The best on screen natural development that was ever plausible was the Dan and Blair friendship/relationship. Here was two characters who had no love for one another, no pre determined outcome of what was suppose to happened down the line. What was written and developed over a plausible amount of time was above the common GG fray. These character for a season and a half were real and developed as much as anything they had mustered before it. It was horrifying to know as I watched that they were going to be reset again as preconceived stereotypes of who that charter was. They couldn't be allowed to stay as two people who grew and were merging two worlds or that Dan was already part of that world. The Ex producers had the idea of how this show should end and only gave the writers time to fill in the pages in-between. So when they said it was time to reset the chess board they did the best they could. This plot was the biggest abuser of this but by far not the only.
Does anybody even know what the Ivy charter is now? Seriously what was the point of this character at all now? GG jumped all over the place already in plots why spend so much time on another character. My only thoughts is she was the anti Dan or want to be Dan. She wanted that world but couldn't have it. Even so it was horribly written and developed.
Then comes Serena's dad. Nothing more then a preconceived notion of how these characters should end up. He was in the show less then anybody else! Yet somehow he is in the finally when he shouldn't have. He had to be of course with what the Execs wanted, because Dan had to end up the one to show that in order to be a part of this world you had to earn your stripes in ruthlessness. Rufus couldn't be the one with the tall blond even if they got married and spent most of the show together. They HAD to bring people back to life her EX just so there marriage wasn't valid for lord sakes. Talk about resetting the chess pieces!
The other thing that probably hurt this show most was the loss of Taylor Momsen. The loss of her brought about characters that wasn't well thought out or written. It caused less screen time and development of Nate. I think it's obvious now they didn't know what to do with Nate after season three. He didn't have a single relationship with anybody but guest stars after season three. Jenny was suppose to be his predetermined love for a few years. It also caused Blair to have no foil and turned Serena from self destructive damsel into playing the foil roll to blair. Causing for me at least to be a less likable character. Not because she was doing mean things but because it wasn't developed or make any since. She wasn't doing mean things to Blair because she was hurt or wanted to push her away. She did them because somebody in a plot line needed something to happen. The entire time it should have been Dans little sister doing these things involving a plot line that was thought out. There should have been a story line involving Jenny trying to break apart her brother and blair for example and using Serena to make it happen.
All I can say is if I was the exec I would have ended it like this.
Rufus and Lilly end up being together. Showing that despite all her maneuvering Lilly wasn't incapable of loving somebody. She spent 6 years growing on GG and still leaves as a professional hard women who can have a family with a soft spot. Rufus is inspired by his son to fight for his women and accepts her faults as a upper east sider as much as she does he isn't a CEO.
Nate and Jenny together if I could have prevented Taylor from leaving maybe even still if you do the five years fast forward. Anyways these two had great on screen chemistry to start out with. In my version of the end Nate has his newspaper and Jenny is given "GG" by Dan. Nobody is told who GG except for two people in the fictional world. Dan has a scene or two where he reveals he is GG to Jenny and why he needed it. Now though he has matured and no longer wants the thing he once did. He gives it to her because she has became who Blair was "queen bee" and ended up with the man Blair once thought she was suppose to be with. He also tells here her he is giving it to her to counter Nate because Nate is phone hacking like in the UK and feels gossip girl would be more responsible with all this information then Nates paper.GG has a life of it's own and will never die. Nate on the other hand is obsessed with finding out who his main competition is and doesn't know he is sleeping right next to her. A perfect little power couple!
Chuck ends up alone. Why because he should be! He's a would be/is a rapist. He never matured during the show. He acted like a self centered child to the end. I loved the actor and he played a compelling foil. However this is your bad guy who only wants power. His dad doesn't magically appear and does everything to imitate him. Think Lex Luther!
Then there is only Dan's choice. Serena or Blair?? My version would go like this. Jenny successfully breaks up Dan and Blair at the end of season 5. She does this of course to get back at Blair from some scheme. Jenny uses Chuck and Serena to stir up doubt, jealousy, and destiny to break them apart. At the end of Season 5 they are so insecure in the belief that each of them think the other is meant for somebody else Each of them telling the other they need to be with that other person. So in season 5 Blair is broken hearted running to Chuck as planned, and Serena comes to Dan to console him. Season 6 is mainly filled with Chuck and Serena trying to cover their tracks in how they helped brake up Dan and Blair.
Blair takes over her moms company and with Chucks maneuvering and backing it's a hit! Dan continues to do his second book but this time he keeps it with Nate. Jenny is the one who uncovers the hacking story but her only evidence is video of Chuck and Blair fighting and Chuck admitting the plot to break up Dan and Blar. He threatens to ruin her family and business if she ever leaves him, but Dan would get far worse! Jenny confronts Nate about the video and both agree to help Blair if she doesn't release the video. There plan fails though and Jenny only has one option GG. She sends the video in not knowing it's Dan. However nothing is posted on GG about the video. Instead Dan confronts Serena with the video. She begs for forgiveness and offers to set up Chuck if Dan will stay with her and their "baby"! Dan is shocked at the news and agrees. Her plans works and Chuck is sent to jail for blackmail and other charges. After this Dan has his moment with Jenny and explains everything to her. Why he created it and why he no longer needs it. He's scared of what's Nate's doing at his paper but cares to much about them both to post the phone hacking evidence. So he offers GG to her to try and counter Nate.
Then the final final scene. One still acting like a child scheming and selfish, but beautiful and sure of her place in the upper east side . The other was a child who had acted as one but has grown. Who does he choose? They're at the Penthouse for Serena's rushed wedding that he planned with her mom to end the threat of Blair stealing Dan. Rufus uncovers the ploy at the last minute and tells Dan the truth of Serena's non pregnancy. He runs out of the penthouse and into the only car with keys. A car that looks an awfully allot like the one Blair and him escaped in from her wedding "just married" paint and all. He calls Jenny and she tracks Blair to the Airport about to leave for Paris. Jenny calls Dorota and gets her to delay Blaire .
Lonely Boy gets there right before she gets in the private plane. Blair is confused and starts on a rant about how this is her plane and she isn't sharing it with the newlyweds. Dan interrupts her rant tells her "Blair will you just shut up for once. I'm not with Serena or here for Serena. I've thought I wanted Serena for most my adult life. Hell I even invited GG to get Serena!" Shocked look on Blairs face! "But the only time I've been truly happy is when I'm with you. We never had any preconceived idea of what we wanted or expected from each other. We were just ourselves with each other. Somehow threw all the scheming trying to get what we wanted. We found what we really wanted was that time we spent in front of a movie together. Not a Crown be it a actual Crown or the tall Blonde ones. Blair I love you and all your faults . You have nothing to hide from me and will need to hide nothing because I accept you for who you really are!" She's crying and so is Dorata. Dan gets down on one knee and opens the weeding ring "I know you have had bigger rings but this one you won't ever have to take off. Blair Waldorf will you marry me?" Blair crying shakes her head yes. They jump in the back of the car and Dorota askes "where to" Dan responds " Where else? Home to the upper east side" then they drive off in the "Just Marrried" limo once again.
Who knows but this was kind of my raw GG rant all let out after two days of watching. I've gotten used to TV show endings, although it always seems to make me sad to see something end. I had moved on from the show and netflix had it and the Dair story line was somehow so much more compelling then anything they had done before and so i wanted to finish the show. At least Everwood knew how to end a show on short notice. I also watch allot of anime and anime usually only runs for 13-16 episodes then the series is over . You get allot of progression usually and allot let reset the chess board. I think the resetting the Chess board was a major issue for GG.
I understand what you mean about the chess board, but most of the time it actually works. I mean did you honestly think that Seth and Summer wouldn't end up together? No way, everyone knew that they were endgame, but they were so much fun to watch anyway. The same thing is the truth with Ross and Rachel on Friends. Each show inserts their own entertaining obstacles that are specific to their shows style and genre, but they tend to have a super-couple that you know will be endgame. The wait is delicious and fun to watch, depending on what kind of stuff you like to watch on tv shows. It's all part of entertainment. Its also part of the story that was being told and built up for people who watch the show religiously. For example, Dan and Serena being together at the end made even more sense when we found out Dan was Gossip Girl and everything linked.
I also think that there were heaps of obstacles besides growing up. These include:Having to forgive people for their mistakes and getting past them Parents marrying each other and sharing a sibling Being brave enough to put your heart on the line Other relationships and love triangles Unrequited love Sorting your own individual needs out before jumping into a relationship. The growing up obstacle was something that was used in Season 2 and Season 6 with Chuck and Blair's relationship.

Moringa in Benin: Super Food Nutrition and Income Generating Production
Margaux Yost, Africa Programs Associate at The Hunger Project Global Office, recently traveled to Mozambique and Benin to observe our Health and Nutrition programs. Over a series of two blog posts, Margaux has explored two key aspects of successful development: program implementation and advocacy at the national level. She shares what she experienced on her visit to Benin below.
On my way to Benin, I was already conscious of the fact that Hunger Project Health and Nutrition program had reached incredible heights in the last couple of years. Before heading to the field, I implemented a 1,000 Days Nutrition training with The Hunger Project-Benin Health staff. This training manual, developed last year and piloted in Ethiopia and Mozambique, is used as a resource manual aligned with the 7 Essential Nutrition Actions. The training manual was also designed to reach illiterate populations through interactive and participatory modules. To my delight, the THP-Benin staff received this training with enthusiasm and let me know that it was a training they could see themselves using in-the-field.
An incredibly unique part of the Health and Nutrition program in Benin is the Moringa production and promotion. Moringa is a power food that is impressively rich in some of the most common deficiencies (such as vitamin A and Iron). A few years back, The Hunger Project-Benin realized that no matter how good the nutritional training side of a health program was, it did not change the inaccessibility of certain nutritious rich foods to community partners that were promoted at a program level. In order to close the gap between nutrition trainings and food accessibility, The Hunger Project-Benin adopted Moringa plant. Moringa is easily accessed and produced by partner communities. As a result, The Hunger Project-Benin started its own Moringa production facility in Wawata Epicenter and hopes to scale the operation up in two other regions. I had the privilege of visiting this epicenter and wanted to share the production process:
- After removing the leaves from the branches, they are washed with purified water.
- The leaves are then set to dry for 48 hours.
- Once dried, the leaves are powdered in a giant mortar and pestle.
- The factory produces 8 Kg per week that is packaged by different institutions for sale or distribution.
The Wawata Epicenter produces approximately 8 Kgs of Moringa powder per week. This product is then sold in pharmacies and, also, distributed by health animators that conduct monthly weighing sessions. The improved accessibility to Moringa in the community is playing a direct role in providing a source of nutrients that are addressed in the 1,000 Days Initiative. With Moringa as part of the in-the-field Health and Nutrition Activities, The Hunger Project-Benin's role in reducing the rate of undernutrition in, not only partner communities but at national level, will I have no doubt transpire in the coming years.

"Our City of Parks is not just a dream, it's a reality," said Mayor Jerry Abramson. "This acquisition solidifies the critical mass of land for one of the anchor parks that will provide generations of enjoyment along the Floyds Fork corridor." A 1,000 acre park would become the largest regional park in the Metro Parks system – bigger than Cherokee Park (409 acres), Iroquois Park (739 acres) and McNeely Lake Park (746 acres). Only the park system's two forests – Jefferson Memorial Forest (6,191 acres) and Otter Creek Park (2,600 acres) – are larger."The Irongate purchase serves as a major connection point in the greenway and trail corridors," said Dan Jones, president of 21st Century Parks. "It also anchors one of three regional parks that 21st Century Parks will build, with its partners Metro Parks and Future Fund, along Floyds Fork. Its completion highlights the very hard work that all of the partners have contributed to help bring this incredible project forward. Not only have we preserved another critical piece of land in this corridor, but we have added significantly to the parklands that our children and grandchildren will enjoy for decades to come."21st Century Parks, a non-profit organization founded by David A. Jones Sr. and Dan Jones to acquire and develop a system of interconnected parks in the Floyds Fork watershed, paid $5,056,142 for the 458-acre property. This is the largest single purchase of property since the City of Parks initiative began in February 2005, and it is the first time that 21st Century Parks has directly purchased land. Previous acquisitions in the Floyds Fork corridor were funded by 21st Century Parks, but purchased through either Metro Parks or Future Fund, created in the early 1990s to preserve land along Floyds Fork. The Floyds Fork Greenway Project stretches along 27 miles of Floyds Fork, from Shelbyville Road to Bardstown Road.
This recent purchase includes both open meadow areas and forested hillsides, with several scenic vantage points. While the ultimate use of this new park area will be determined through a master planning process, it will likely include multi-use trails, along with a segment of the 100-mile paved metro loop path. The master planning process officially begins with a public input meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 22, 2007, at Eastern High School, 12400 Old Shelbyville Road.
With this purchase, combined with nearby Future Fund property, more than 90 percent of the path of the Turkey Run stream –which flows into Floyds Fork – is now protected for conservation. As commercial and residential development continues in the 122-square-mile Floyds Fork watershed, protecting feeder streams is an important method for preserving the water quality of Floyds Fork.
Abramson and David Jones unveiled the City of Parks concept in February 2005. It includes the addition of thousands of acres of park land in the Floyds Fork corridor, a 100-mile paved metro loop path encircling the city, continued expansion of the Jefferson Memorial Forest, and millions of dollars in capital improvements to existing parks. Metro Parks has completed 181 capital improvement projects worth $23.8 million since city and county governments merged in 2003, with an additional 88 projects underway. The Floyds Fork Greenway component of the City of Parks initiative has $62 million in funding commitments from public and private sources.
