That wraps up our coverage of day seven of the Australian Open, and what a day it was.
Flavia Pennetta kicked things off by beating No.9 seed Angelique Kerber. But the real upset came when tournament favourite Serena Williams was beaten by Ana Ivanovic. Novak Djokovic cruised through to the quarter finals, beating Fabio Fognini in three sets. And after a close start, David Ferrer left Florian Mayer behind to progress to the quarter finals. Thanks for your company and be sure to join us tomorrow and for the rest of the tournament.
Berdych [CZE] v Anderson [RSA] 6-2, 6-2, 6-3
Game, set, match to Berdych! After some minor chit-chat over a challenge which Berdych won, but didn't want the point replayed), he has come away with a fairly routine win over Kevin Anderson (despite that lengthy game which had about 9 deuces).
But Berdych can't close the match out. He's serving for the win at 5-3 in the third.
Berdych [CZE] v Anderson [RSA] 6-2, 6-2, 5-2
Tomas Berdych is a game away from the third set and the match on Margaret Court Arena. He has been too good this evening for Kevin Anderson.
Meanwhile on Rod Laver Arena, Australia's Casey Dellacqua has begun her match against Canadian teen Eugenie Bouchard.
Berdych [CZE] v Anderson [RSA] 6-2, 6-2, 2-2
Berdych and Anderson on serve in the second set.
On Show Court 2, Australia's James Duckworth is playing mixed doubles with Croatia's Ajla Tomljanovic (who earlier today won her women's doubles match with Aussie Jarmila Gajdosova). In the first set, against Daniela Hantuchova and Leander Paes, Duckworth and Tomljanovic lead 3-2.
Earlier today, Novak Djokovic beat Italian Fabio Fognini.
AAP reports:
Despite the match slipping away from him, the brash Italian hammed it up on the centre court stage, joking with the crowd and hitting powerful winners when the few opportunities arose.
Djokovic, who counts Fognini as one of his oldest friends on tour, said maintaining his focus was crucial to the win.
''Obviously I wanted to laugh at his jokes but I didn't want to have any lapse in concentration,'' he said.
''It's never easy but I think I played a great match from the beginning to the end.''
Djokovic celebrated the win by sending up his new coach Boris Becker to the delight of the capacity Rod Laver Arena crowd.

On Hisense Arena, the Italians have wrapped up the win against the Aussies, 6-2, 6-2. Errani and Vinci were too good for the Australian team of Rogowska and Adamczak.

Berdych [CZE] v Anderson [RSA] 6-2, 6-2
Berdych takes the set! It has to be said that it was a huge effort from Anderson to stay in the game, right up until the very last, when he lunged left and right to return the ball. But in the end it was Berdych who had the upper hand and Anderson sent the ball directly into the net.
Now what can Berdych do with set point number nine? Can Anderson get it back again?
And there goes set point number 8.
Well, I jinxed that. Berdych is still a point away, but set point number 7. Neither of these players seems to be able to finish it off!
Tomas Berdych is a point away from breaking Kevin Anderson's serve and taking the second set.
Coming up tonight, Casey Dellacqua will face Eugenie Bouchard for a spot in the quarter finals against Ana Ivanovic.

Berdych [CZE] v Anderson [RSA] 6-2, 4-2
Tomas Berdych has continued his good form into the second set, leading Kevin Anderson 4-1. Berdych has Anderson moving all over the court, but Anderson is able to hold serve and stay in this second set.
Errani, Vinci [ITA] v Rogowska, Adamczak [AUS] 6-2, 0-1
The Italians wrap up the first set easily. It will take a bit from the Aussies to get back in this one, as the Italians are a very smooth unit.
On Hisense Arena:
Errani and Vinci have powered ahead of Australian pair Rogowska and Adamczak. The Italians lead 5-2 and look as though they will comfortably take the first set.
Berdych [CZE] v Anderson [RSA] 6-2, 1-1
Berdych pulled away at the end of that second set to grab a comfortable. He's begun the second set holding serve as has Anderson.

Meanwhile, on the doubles front:

On Show Court 3, some familiar names are battling it out - Martina Hingis and Martina Navratilova have lost the first set to Nicole Bradtke and Rennae Stubbs, thuogh they lead 3-0 in the second set.
And on Show Court 2, Nicolas Mahut and Michael Llodra of France are facing Austria's Alexander Peya and Brazilian Bruno Soares, leading 2-1 in the second set after taking the first in a tiebreaker.
It's doubles everywhere you look ... except for on Margaret Court Arena, where Tomas Berdych and Kevin Anderson are battling it out for a spot in the quarters. So far it's a pretty close-run affair, 3-2 on serve in the first.
Djokovic [SRB] v Fognini [ITA] 6-3, 6-0, 6-2
A fairly breezy win through to the quarter finals for Novak Djokovic. He has won in straight sets over Italian Fabio Fognini, and then as if winning isn't enough, he pulls a comedy routine in his post-mtach interview with Jim Courier, too. The Djoker is looking pretty happy and relaxed for the moment! He will face Wawrinka or Robredo in the quarter finals.
AAP reports:
World No.1 Serena Williams revealed she almost pulled out of the Australian Open with a back injury before suffering a shock fourth-round loss to Ana Ivanovic on Sunday.
Williams was reluctant to discredit her opponent - a three-time grand slam finalist and former French Open champion and world No.1 - but admitted the injury contributed to her 4-6 6-3 6-3 loss.

Mayer [GER] v Ferrer [ESP] 7-7 (7-5), 5-7, 2-6, 1-6

Mayer [GER] v Ferrer [ESP] 7-7 (7-5), 5-7, 2-6, 1-4
After a tight first set, Ferrer opened the match up in the second, before Mayer fought back. But Ferrer was too strong, winning the second and then powering through the third, and now has the lead in what looks to be the deciding set of this match.
Djokovic [SRB] v Fognini [ITA] 3-6, 0-6
Djokovic takes the second set without dropping a game. Barring a meltdown or a miracle, it looks as though Djokovic will be progressing with ease.
Bolt, Whittington [AUS] v Carreno Busta, Garcia-Lopez [ESP] 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-5), 7-5
Bolt and Whittington win! It's an Australian win in the doubles for the young pair. The winning shot just hit the baseline, was reviewed by the Spaniards but the initial call was correct. The Aussies win in three sets!

Bolt, Whittington [AUS] v Carreno Busta, Garcia-Lopez [ESP] 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-5), 5-3
The Australian pair serving for their doubles match on Margaret Court Arena. The crowd is boisterous and right behind them. The Aussies had a good chance to break serve and win the match last game but couldn't find the win. The Spaniard are up 0-30 in this game...
Mayer [GER] v Ferrer [ESP] 7-6 (7-5), 5-7
Ferrer takes the second set against Florian Meyer but it was a big fightback Mayer to stay in the set at all.
Bolt, Whittington [AUS] v Carreno Busta, Garcia-Lopez [ESP] 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-5), 4-1

In her media conference, Serena Williams praised Ana Ivanovic for her win, and said she did not want to take anything away from it. But she says back troubles left her at less than 100 per cent. Williams says she knows she can play better than what she did today.
"I wasn't hitting the way I would hit & not moving the way I would move...it's ok, I know for a fact I can play so much better" #Serena

Kerber and Pennetta are locked in a tight contest on Rod Laver Arena, but Kerber looks determined not to go down here. She's very vocal, pumping herself up, and is now serving for the second set. It's certainly a different feel to the second set than the first.
Good news, Cash fans!
Cash and Wilander have taken the first set in a tie-breaker (7-2) in their legends doubles match against Bahrami and Pioline.
Not so good news - they are down 3-0 in the second.
Better news - the humour and good spirit this match is being played in makes it all the more entertaining. Cash is now playing with the crowd as well as the other three on court.
Things are much tighter in the second set of the Kerber v Pennetta match. Despite Kerber's lifted intensity and higher ranking, Pennetta is not going away. But Kerber has certainly stepped up a notch, leading 3-2 and serving to lead 4-2 midway through the second set.

Cash has popped on a Hawks guernsey to go with his headband, and while he and Wilander don't look to have replicated Hawthorn's winning form exactly, they are certainly entertaining the crowd on Hisense Arena, thought it looks like officials might need some sort of noise measuring device for all this grunting. An update on what exactly that hat is that Wilander is wearing will follow.

A big day of tennis ahead at Melbourne Park. During the day some big names will be in action, including Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, Li Na and David Ferrer.
Tonight, Casey Dellacqua takes on Eugenie Bouchard, but there are some other Aussies to look out for during the day as well. Jarmila Gajdosova plays doubles this morning (with Croatia's Tomljanovic) and in the men's doubles, wildcards Alex Bolt and Andrew Whittington will take the court today.
And Pat Cash will also take the court today - pairing with Mats Wilander in a legends' doubles match.

Say goodbye to the old, but not exactly revered, Coconut Grove Exhibition Center. The now-obsolete hall where Doors frontman Jim Morrison once (allegedly) publicly wagged what should remain private is coming down. Fast.
Now say hello to our new little friend: Regatta Park, 12 acres of long-promised bayfront green space in the place where the last remaining sections of the exhibition center are now being reduced to rubble by demolition crews.
It could be a significant addition to Miamis undernourished parks system if the cash-strapped city can figure out exactly what to put there, and then how to pay for it.
Heres the dilemma: The new park, part of the so-called Sasaki Plan that was developed in 2008 to revamp the Groves cluttered waterfront, would cost around $26 million to build as conceived, with a new pier, a grassy amphitheater, a new baywalk and a thick planting of trees.
The amount the city has for the job? A mere $2 million.
City officials say thats just about enough to install a watering system and some electrical connections, then cover the whole thing with nice sod, and maybe a few trees and furnishings.
At least for now, thats what the new park will have to be, said Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, a principal backer of the Sasaki Plan whose district includes the Grove.
My vision for it is the worlds greatest field, Sarnoff said, somewhat tongue-in-cheek. It will be open space with the best grass we can grow.
The city still hopes eventually to build a full-fledged park. City planners are holding a series of public meetings to solicit ideas for park features and uses, though they say they cant say when or if anything beyond the stripped-down park would be built.
Right now, we dont have any answers, deputy planning director Cesar Garcia-Pons told a packed house at Miami City Hall last week during the first of three planned meetings.
Its not the first time the city has had to scale back its ambitions for a new park because of fiscal constraints. Last year, an elaborate plan for a new Museum Park to accompany the new art and science museums downtown was scrapped for the time being. Instead, the park area at the foot of the newly opened Perez Art Museum of Miami, like Regatta Park, will consist of grass, trees and pathways.
The ill-defined Regatta Park idea has upset some skeptical Grove residents, including some who say the city was too quick to demolish the exhibition center, until recently used to film interiors for the cable TV series Burn Notice, and which might have attracted other film work.
The park launch also comes on the heels of a controversial citywide referendum in which voters easily approved a proposal furiously opposed by many Grovites to replace the adjacent Scottys Landing, a popular rustic watering hole, and the landmark Chart House restaurant with glitzy new dining spots. Many remain angry at Sarnoff, who backed the plan, and suspicious of his motives.
On an easel on which city planners asked attendees to write down suggestions, one demanded a guarantee to rebut rumors that the land would be developed or fenced off for the private use of residents of new luxury condos going up across South Bayshore Drive something city officials say they have never contemplated.
At least some attendees were willing to give the city credit for laying out the financial circumstances and seeking public input for the park.
I have to support that, said Grove activist Hadley Williams. From that aspect, its very positive.
The keep-it-simple park idea actually sits right with some Grove residents concerned about commercialization of the historic villages waterfront and the current lack of easy access to the water for pedestrians and boaters.
Several said the new park offers the city a chance to open up access to the shoreline, and called for an inviting, pedestrian-friendly space animated with a new dock and kayak and paddleboard rentals.
If you do that, you would see an explosion of rowers, kayakers and paddleboarders, said Andy Parrish, a longtime activist and small developer in the Grove.
At very least, Sarnoff said, the new park would fulfill a key mandate of the Sasaki Plan, named after the renown landscape architecture firm that designed it after extensive public consultation: to open up bay vistas long blocked by the bulky exhibition center, and provide a green link between City Hall and Peacock and Myers parks directly to the south.
It would provide another amenity that inspired the parks name to serve as staging area for the big sailing regattas held along the Grove waterfront, home to several sailing clubs and an Olympic training site, the U.S. Sailing Center. Unbeknownst to many Miamians, its the main hot spot in the nation for winter sailing competitions, with some of the biggest regattas in the world taking place just offshore.
The overflow of boat trailers drawn to the regattas now takes up a portion of the exhibition center parking lot, most of which will temporarily remain, as well as a swale bordering the popular running and cycling trail that runs along the east side of Bayshore Drive. But that swale space will disappear with upcoming plans to renovate and widen the trail, Sarnoff said.
Another element of the Sasaki Plan calls for consolidating the U.S. Sailing Center and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, now located to the south, in a modern facility at Regatta Park, though city officials say thats unlikely to happen anytime soon.
But sailing advocates asked the city that, whatever they do at that spot, they remember to leave enough wide-open grassy space to accommodate them.
We are known as the best regatta launching place in the world, said Mark Kamilar, from the U.S. Sailing Center. But it takes a tremendous amount of space.

Fox Business Network's Claman to Interview Acting Tres. Sec. Neal Wolin Tuesday
February 25, 2013 | Filed Under Budget, Business, Democrats/Leftists, Fox Business Network, Journalism, Liberals, President, Taxes, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
What: FOX Business Network's (FBN) Liz Claman will have an exclusive interview with Acting Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin on Tuesday, February 26th from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in Chicago, IL. Appearing on FBN's After the Bell (4PM/ET), Wolin will discuss cyber security and employment in the United States.
Wolin received the Alexander Hamilton Award in 2011–the highest honor given to a Treasury official.
Many in Washington thought that Wolin was former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's pick to replace him at Treasury, but it wasn't long before rumors swirled early in January that Wolin was also headed for the exit door (many feel he wasn't happy upon realizing he wouldn't get Geithner's job). Wolin was asked to stay on as the department's temporary chief while the President endeavors to get his pick of Jacob Lew confirmed in the Senate.
Wolin may have had a roadblock to confirmation, though, in that he was a key architect of the disastrous Dodd-Frank bill, a law very unpopular with Republicans, to say the least.
Wolin was president and chief operating officer of the property and casualty insurance companies of the Hartford Financial Services Group. Previously he served under Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.
Tune in on Tuesday, February 26, 2013; 4:00 PM/ET – 5:00 PM/ET

Missionary Dating: On a Mission to Get Him Saved
- Wednesday, September 14, 2005
There I was, standing at the entrance of my church for the zillionth time. Waiting for Bob, or maybe it was John or it could have been Dave. It didn't matter because there seemed to be a pattern – a pattern where I would meet this great guy,and he would tell me "Sure, I go to church," which, of course, was enough information for me to date him.
I would arrive at church early, eagerly waiting to have him join me, when much to my repeated surprise he wouldn't show. There would be other times when he would show, but be late, bored and distracted.
When was I going to figure it out? How many guys would I date in the hopes of either getting them "saved" or "walking right" with God? How long was it going to take for me to listen to God?
Hey, as a single adult myself, I know it's hard to find someone. It seems you have to kiss a lot of frogs, and then you still don't find the right one. I have heard all the stories, not to mention I have a few of my own. "He told me he was a believer." "He goes to church every Sunday." "At least he isn't bad person." "He grew up in church." "I know if I can just be the example, he will change." Are there any I am missing here?
I know of the desperation. Desperation that blinds us. Desperation that allows us to settle. Desperation that lies to us. Desperation that causes us to lose judgement. I know you get tired of waiting on God. Some of you haven't even begun to wait, while others may have given up.
... that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 1 Peter 4:2
Five Levels of Missionary Dating
I have personally been through the all the levels listed below. I am sure there may be many more or less based on your own experience. I guess I have always known in my heart that any guy who didn't love God, didn't put Christ first and wasn't growing in his relationship with Christ by the evidence of his fruit is someone I shouldn't date. However, I did anyway.
As each relationship unfolded, there would be a pattern. These men weren't pushing me toward Christ, but instead pulling me away. It would take some time – even a few years – before I would get it. I would have to experience all the levels to truly understand. So what level have you experienced? Perhaps you are at one of these right now and are struggling with giving him up -- with giving the relationship to God.
You have had one date. I mean, one date won't hurt anyone. I need a life, you know. It's nice to have a man take you out, spend money on you, and tell you you're pretty. However, the whole time you are talking with him at dinner, sharing about your life, your dreams, how many kids you want one day and your relationship with God, he is looking at the waitresses. You are at the point of unbelief. You have wasted yet another night of your life with the wrong guy, just hoping that your relationship with God would be enough for the both of you. It's not. You give him to God. God takes him out of your life.
You have a few dates. He seems nice. You invite him to church on Sunday. You end up in a lengthy conversation about God. This intrigues you because he seems interested IN God. But after a few more dates you realize that he is interested in God because you are. You realize that he is interested in all kinds of gods. You know he needs to go. You give him to God even though he has the coolest convertible. God takes him out of your life.
You've been dating for a month. You don't know each other that well yet. Yes, you have probably kissed him already. He seems to want to move faster in the romance department than you would like. You confront him about what God says, and he tells you that if you cared about him, you would show it. Oh my gosh, you're here again. It's sounding familiar. His walk doesn't match his talk. Thankfully you haven't dated him very long. However, you went farther physically then you should have. You were just so lonely, and he filled that part of your heart. At least you thought he had. You finally give him to God. God takes him out of your life.

Dreams & Prophecy
Divination Introduction
The definition of divination is ability to forecast the future, but the word itself stems from Divine. The Divine has many names. The Creator, God, Creation and Allah to name a few. However you choose to name It, It is that unseen, but recognizable, all-powerful all-knowledgeable guiding force of the universe.
Our desire to tap into that knowledge is what motivates our interest in divination. It matters little whether we access this insight by seeking in prayer and receiving in meditation, or through the use of tools such as astrology, ancient prophecy or dream interpretation. Our inherent curiosity is mainly about ourselves and each person finds the method that is most comfortable for them and some find many ways of learning about themselves.
Whether or not you believe in numerology or dreams, astrology or prophecy, I hope you will explore these tools and explore yourself with an open heart.

Union County State's Attorney Tyler R. Edmonds announced Wednesday that a woman has been sentenced to two years in connection with a $200,000 theft from the Wolf Lake community.
Myra G. McLane, 55, formerly of Wolf Lake, has been sentenced to two years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.McLane served as treasurer for the Wolf Lake Community Center and Parks board. Members say they are now having to start from scratch to raise funds for the organization. The current treasurer, Karen Ballance, says the board had enough money to make repairs to the community center and maintain the local park, however the money was wiped out.
"[We had] saved up money for years and they had CDs in the bank, so we thought there was money to do work that needed to be done, but, come to find out, the previous secretary had cashed the CD and spent it. So, we are literally starting from scratch," Ballance said. The community center and local park is funded solely by donations. Leaders say this is one of many fundraisers the board will host in order to try to make back the money that was stolen.
According to Edmonds, McLane pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of official misconduct and one count of filing a fraudulent Illinois income tax return.The community is doing fundraisers to pay back the stolen money.
McLane served between 2009 and 2012 as an employee of the Clear Creek Levee and Drainage District, the Preston Levee District, the Shawnee Valley Water District, the Ware Sanitary Corporation, the Wolf Lake Sanitary Corporation and the Ware-Wolf Lake Fire Protection District.
She also served as bookkeeper for the Wolf Lake community center and community park.
McLane was also ordered to pay $213,000 in restitution to these victims.
In February 2013, McLane was arrested as part of an investigation by the Illinois State Police and Illinois Department of Revenue. The Union County Sheriff's Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation helped with the investigation.
The case was prosecuted by the Union County State's Attorney's Office and Illinois Attorney General's Office.If you'd like to donate to the Wolf Lake Community Center and Park Board, send checks to:P.O. Box 63Wolf Lake, IL 62998

A rich, dynamic, diversified, competitive and innovative region
Discover the rich development potential that Paris Region offers
In the early years, PREDA can provide support to help your business grow
The teams at Paris Region Entreprises have taken part in the SOCAP Conference, the world's leading event devoted to social entrepreneurship and impact investing, held in San Francisco from September 2nd to 5th, 2014.
Founded on July 1st, 2014, Paris Region Entreprises brings together teams at the Paris Region Economic Development Agency and the Paris Region Innovation Centre.
The international convention for biotechnologies, Bio Convention, ended last Thursday in San Diego, USA. The major event, held from June 23-26, brought together over 15,660 of the world's leading industrial players from 70 different countries.
PREDA held two business tours on June 12th and 13th, in partnership with the General Councils of Hauts-de-Seine and Seine-Saint-Denis. The aim of those organised tours was providing Futur en Seine visitors with an opportunity to find out about the specific features of the Paris Region's digital cluster.
In keeping with the image of Futur en Seine 2014, the presence of the Agency at this world digital festival proved to be a thriving idea, especially when it came to IoT (Internet of Things), for which a large amount of initiatives were organised in favour of business development in the Paris Region, for both local and foreign companies.
The 3rd Payment Innovation Day took place last June 18th at the Palais Brongniart, the historical site that used to house the Paris Stock Exchange.

The new green at Maryland's state parks is cash, and lots of it.
This has been a banner year for the 66 parks, which logged nearly 11 million visitors by early December, 1.1 million more than at the same point last year. Long the destination of day trippers and tent dwellers, state parks have become a go-to spot for thousands of staycationers, who not only pay entry and campsite fees but also leave a trail of money through the communities just beyond their borders.
"Parks are destinations that create opportunity for people to enjoy the outdoors and each other," said Matt Baker, owner of Terrapin Adventures, a zip line and outdoor center in Howard County, just minutes from Patapsco Valley State Park. "And, of course, they also spend money."
A 2010 study by the state Department of Business and Economic Development said park visitors spend more than $567 million each year, producing a total economic impact of more than $650 million. Park activity generates $39 million in tax revenue and supports 10,000 jobs.
The state gives the parks a budget of $34 million.
Seventy percent of spending, the study says, occurred within 20 minutes of the parks in small gateway communities such as Hancock, McHenry and Savage. One of the biggest beneficiaries has been Berlin, seven miles from Assateague State Park; that park, with 1.8 million visitors this year, is the state's busiest.
Mayor Gee Williams, 64, a town native, said the watershed moment came in 1964, when the state built the Verrazano Bridge to replace a ferry that transported two or three cars at a time from the mainland to the barrier island.
"Almost immediately, our little town benefited. Visitors stopped on the way over for gas and ice and supplies, and then came into town for restaurants and taverns to take a break from the camping experience," he said. "As the state park added amenities and programs, the impact on the town of Berlin has steadily grown.
"It happened naturally. It wasn't part of any strategic plan."
Berlin's population, below 2,000 in the early 1970s, has more than doubled. In the past four years, the tidy, Victorian-style downtown has seen the number of businesses grow from 30 to 65, Williams said. Nearly one-third of the town's residents are employed in the retail or hospitality industries.
The town makes sure the Assateague crowd is plugged into its events: Bathtub Races in July, Peach Festival in August and a Fiddler's Convention in September. On Fridays in summer, the farmers' market is a magnet for campers on their way to the island.
"There's been more visible change in the last 21/2 years than I've seen in the whole rest of my lifetime," Williams said. "We've become a destination community from April through December."
Michael Day, Berlin's director of Economic and Community Development, said that while the town wouldn't "shrivel up and die" without Assateague, life is much better with a money-making machine in the backyard.
"The park is a great neighbor. On a rainy day, it's phenomenal what the park can do for us. We're packed," said Day. "And once they get sunburned and shriveled up at the ocean, they come and see us."
But the state park system is at a crossroads, a victim of its own success. This summer, parks filled to capacity 39 times, and visitors had to be turned away. Patapsco Valley, the second most popular park, reached its limit 12 times. Parks that never used to fill up — North Point in Baltimore County and Rocky Gap in Washington County — did so this year.
"We are the destination of choice for working families. Our camping has almost reached saturation," acknowledged Nita Settina, the state parks superintendent.
That's not to say that the state is ignoring the public's appetite for the outdoors. In January, Gov. Martin O'Malley included nearly $23 million in the capital budget for projects ranging from seven new park playgrounds and bathhouse renovations to pier replacements and boat ramp upgrades. Garrett County will receive $150,000 for construction of 30 miles of trails.
But those improvements might only entice more visitors. The state hasn't opened a new campground in decades. The last major structure built was the $1.3 million Discovery Center at Deep Creek Lake in 1999. The staff-to-visitor ratio is 1 staff person per 49,255 visitors (the national average is 1 to 35,840).
Tom Riford, president and CEO of the Hagerstown-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau, thinks that's a shaky business model.
"Here we have these revenue generators, and yet they're underfunded and we turn people away," he said. "How is that good for the state, good for the county?"

"Bright, pale yellow-gold. Pungent aromas of peach, nectarine, lime, hazelnut oil and nutmeg, with a musky iodiney minerality that reminded me of chardonnay from the Meursault/Puligny district. Deep, rich and perfumed, with a lemony edge giving grip and a light touch to the stone fruit and spice flavors. Finishes youthful, savory and long, with an almost tannic quality. A superb vintage for this bottling. 92(+?) points ."

Five weeks after a tornado outbreak, most of the debris
has been cleaned up, and the rebuilding process is in full swing. FEMA wants to
make sure storm victims are able to stand up to another possible storm.
An E-F3 tornado bringing winds over 120 miles per hour
damaged or destroyed dozens of homes from the Bayhill Marina to downtown
Athens. FEMA was on the ground within a couple of days, and now they're looking
for people who still need help.
FEMA representatives are camping out at the Lowe's on
Highway 72 in Athens for a few days. They've set up displays designed to show
storm victims what kinds of products are best to use in the rebuilding process.
They said they want to make sure if another storm comes, the repaired home will
be able to stand up to nature's fury.
"It's for everyone who wants to come out here, not just
those who were affected recently," said Nate Custer with FEMA. "There may be
some things that you haven't thought of. Some bracings, some strength things,
and steps you can take to your home and make it more disaster resistant so the
next time severe weather comes, your damage may be minimized."
The FEMA representatives will be at Lowe's from 7 a.m.
until 7 p.m. Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. They also wanted
to make sure everyone knows, if you haven't applied for aid from the storms,
you have until July 1.

Across the nation, groups organized marches, rallies and speeches to remember the work, legacy and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King -- but while most kids got to sleep in on Monday, some students were learning.
Most schools close to honor the holiday, but Waconia is among the few districts in Minnesota where schools stay in session as a way to mark the holiday.
On the floor of a classroom inside Waconia's Clearview Middle School, Monday's lesson involved fringed fleece that the students could tie together and send off to refugees. Next door, a sandwich assembly line was set up -- but it didn't have anything to do with the students' own nutrition.
Across town, Bayview Elementary students also made sandwiches, stacked them up and readied them for pick-up. Each school in Waconia embarked on a public service project on Monday -- be it sending school supplies to third world countries or holding a blood drive -- to help teach the lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, and the students don't seem to mind.
"It's been exceptionally well received," said Superintendent Nancy Rajanen.
Rajanen made the change to keep kids in school five years ago as a better way to observe the holiday.
"I feel real comfortable about saying that our kids learn more about the legacy of Dr. King by coming to school and participating in service because it's carried on from kindergarten through 125th grade," she added.
At Southview Elementary, the sleek heads of boys -- and the pile of hair on the library floor -- gave evidence to the cancer fundraiser. The girls' ponytails will be sent off to Locks of Love.
"It teaches kids they can help; they can do something," Kim Fraser said. "They can make a difference even when they're seven or eight."
Last year, Waconia schools received an award from the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School recognizing the district's MLK Day program for its innovation.

Everton Under-21s will be aiming to extend their lead at the top of Group One when they face Blackburn on Monday evening at Southport's Merseyrail Community Stadium – also known as Haig Avenue.
Victory against Rovers - which would complete the double over the Lancastrians - could see Alan Stubbs' side move four points clear ahead of second-placed Chelsea.
In the reverse meeting at Leigh Sports Village in January, Everton were comfortable 3-0 winners courtesy of strikes from John Lundstram, Conor McAleny and Francisco Junior. The latter pair were both on target in the Under-21s' most recent outing – a 2-2 draw away to Sunderland last Monday.
That result in the north east saw Everton drop points for the first time following successive wins from their first three fixtures.
The Blues need to finish in first position to qualify for the end-of-season play-offs involving the winners of Group Two and the top three teams in Elite Group.
Kick-off for Monday's game is at 7pm. Everton Season Ticket holders and FOREVERTON members are able to gain free admission to all home Under-21 fixtures at Southport.
Members of the public can gain access by payment at the turnstiles (adults £5, concessions £3). Southport Season Ticket holders will also be able to gain entry for free.
For those unable to attend, evertonfc.com and the Club's official Twitter feed will provide updates, with highlights on evertontv on Tuesday.
Tickets for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Wigan Athletic are now on general sale. Click here to buy now.

Road crews will soon get to work replacing concrete that keeps crumbling off of Interstate 40 in downtown Nashville.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation says it has awarded a $400,000 contract to fix the bridge over Charlotte Avenue.
Several times in the past few months, lanes of I-40 have been closed for emergency repairs after chunks of the interstate fell onto the road below.
This new contract calls for all the concrete to be replaced.
Both directions of I-40 will be closed for an entire weekend in either October or November for that work to happen. The exact dates have not been announced.
A larger effort to rehab four downtown bridges, including the Charlotte Avenue overpass, is planned for 2015.
"They need a lot of maintenance. They have a lot of potholes," said TDOT spokeswoman Deanna Lambert. "We're looking at rehabilitating those bridges in the downtown area."
The work is just a portion of the 86 projects TDOT has planned across the state, including the "Bridge over Broad," where Broad Street intersects with Old Fort Parkway at Memorial Boulevard in Murfreesboro.
Recent federal data show dozens of Tennessee bridges are among the thousands nationwide that have advanced deterioration or are at risk of collapsing.A Transportation Department spokeswoman says at least 25 of those bridges in Tennessee have been replaced with new structures, repaired, or either under construction for replacement or repair.

Lighten Up: A Healthy Pizza Recipe
A Slimmer Slice: Fresh Tomato & Chicken Pizza
Makes: 4 servings
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 10-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
3 medium plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
4 ounces cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons snipped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1. Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Press refrigerated dough into pan, building up edges.
2. Arrange tomato slices and chicken on dough. Add basil and pepper, and top with mozzarella.
3. Bake in a 425-degree F. oven for 13 to 18 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
Nutrition facts per serving (1/4 of pizza): 281 calories, 20g protein, 31g carbohydrate, 8g fat (3g saturated), 2g fiberHealthy Cooking Tips
Shake the Salt
Subbing tomatoes for store-bought sauce reduces sodium and belly bloat. Plus, packing your pie with produce ups the filling factor.
Choose Chicken
Swap out greasy pepperoni for grilled chicken. "Season it with oregano and basil," says chef Juan-Carlos Cruz, author of The Juan-Carlos Cruz Calorie Countdown Cookbook.
Make the Cut
To chop basil, stack the leaves in a neat pile and roll lengthwise, like a cigar. Use shears to slice across the bundle.
Say Cheese
Low-fat cheese melts better than fat-free. Before baking the pie, mist with cooking spray. "A bit of oil helps the cheese melt," says Cruz.

amazing use of vocabulary in this poem, keep it up Allan (Report) Reply
Edgar Allan Poe
Spirits Of The Dead
Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne'er to vanish;
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more, like dew-drop from the grass.
The breeze, the breath of God, is still,
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token.
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!

Poe actually did achieve a fair amount of accolades during his lifetime.
Unlike some other poets, the most accurate reviews of his work were recorded during his existence.
History has deemed Poe as king of the damned and as long as we adhere to that formula he will never find peace… if you believe in that sort of thing ? (Report) Reply

Edgar Allan Poe in my opinion is the greatest of all American poets. Greater by far that Walt Whitman. My proof is this, everybody can recite several of Poe's poems. The only one's tat I know people can recite of Whitman is Oh Captain My Captain.Whitman though a great orator and writer wrote poems that are so forgettable. Poe was in a class all his own. The way he used words is unmatched by any other poet on Earth. (Report) Reply

i was just little kid when my father passed away;
that first night was full of thoughts where did he go,

come back like breeze to kiss my face...but never
did. my sadness went away in few days. (Report) Reply

Indira Renganathan (2/7/2010 3:47:00 AM)
A released spirit after death doesn't mean to be the liberated soul.....it's only the spirit fresh with the dead's still alive thoughts or emotions from which the soul is to depart once for all for next birth after a destined period....and that is the mystery of mysteries....the poet has depicted it beautifully.... (Report) Reply
Terence George Craddock (2/7/2010 2:09:00 AM)
Edger Allan Poe is the master of the macabre in both short story and in verse. The persona of this poem relates another of Edger's possible thematic dimensions of death. These spirits of the dead are lost souls newly come into death, and we witness their first hour of death, as our own potential after life. 'Into thine hour of secrecy', could be our own fate or destiny, our own first awakening in death. The newly deceased are advised 'Be silent in that solitude', in that first hour, because
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
The concept of spirits long dead assuming greater power than the newly dead is embedded in many cultures. The poem attains rich macabre imagery but the essence is
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne'er to vanish;
These words describing thoughts and visions ne'er to banish or vanish, imply an eternity to face the consequences of our deeds in life in a limbo of the lost. Another rich tale from a master, at invoking settings of emotive alternative realities. (Report) Reply
Ramesh T A (2/7/2010 1:58:00 AM)
With the death everything will not disappear of a person! Spirit of persons like the light of hope burning inside, like the dew dropp on leaves and mist on hills will be there forever. This will be as mysterious as the mist on the hill ever! Nice speculation over matter after death! (Report) Reply

It sems like a warning to me... Tread light when you walk upon the dead or ghosts and goblins will come and shake your bed. I love Poe! (Report) Reply
Patrick Bois (2/7/2009 3:19:00 PM)
He's talking about the incessant dialogue between mortality and immortality, mortals and immortals, and how that's a mystery. It pays to reread before pinning down something so masterful. (Report) Reply
Glen Moore (2/7/2008 10:15:00 AM)
The poem flows well. He sees an emptiness to death. I can understand how someone could feel that way. But death has not stopped life. Wonderful people pass through the world and really leave legacies and positive memories. John Donne 'For Whom the Bell Tolls, ' has a fuller view of death.
I suppose Poe is talking about the mystery of death. Perhaps that is the theme. But he let his characteristic dreary and morbid feelings make the mystery too much indifference and misery. (Report) Reply

Gentlemen Of The Road Stopover: Lewes - 19th - 20th July 2013
Festival season. I love you. I am buzzing for this weekend.
Jay Jay Pistolet (aka. Justin Young of The Vaccines) with assorted members of Mumford & Sons and Gabriel Mesh playing 'Green & Brown & Blue'
All In White - The Vaccines
Yeah so, we had a drink with them, spoke about how the venue was over capacity, they apologised that they couldn't have got us in as it was the venues rules, chatted about how I'm seeing them at Reading, chatted about their music, we asked for a photo, and they asked us to wait around because Arni would be around in a minute, so we stayed a little longer, then met Arni, got some photos, wished them luck, got their autographs and went on our way. I still haven't quite gotten over it…
Argh, this video makes me want two things.
1. For festival season to hurry up!
2. To see the Vaccines

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

This movie (and series) is probably the best that ever came through Newgrounds. It's beautifully animated, uniquely styled, crisp, has a logical flow of ideas and direction, and heart. Emotionally gripping, the story is too grand for the two main protagonists themselves, and becomes an example of the differences in racial ideologies that have plagued humanity from time forgot.
And it makes me tear up every time. Fantastic job.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 7, 2013
wow. just wow man. great design, fantastic art and best story in a long time. worth every moment.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 1, 2013
I'll keep watching these videos for the rest of my life in NG. So beautiful. A great ending. The best ending. *tears up* ^^;;

About Yves Saint Laurent
History and background of Yves Saint Laurent. Born in 1936, Yves Saint Laurent grew up in Oran, Algeria. At 17, he left for Paris where he showed his drawings to Michel de Brunhoff, director of Vogue, who published several of them immediately. Following a stint at fashion school, Saint Laurent was introduced to Christian Dior by de Brunhoff and he went on to work for Dior until his death in 1957. Read more about Yves Saint Laurent

Customer Comments
I was truly impressed with the selection available, however, there are others I would like to see there. The delivery was very good. The shipment arrived in the time they estimated. My experience with Internet purchases has been the estimated date plus 2 weeks.

I've always liked this fragrance but waited so long to get it. Maybe because I read everywhere that it was the emblematic fragrance of the 80's. Somehow I don't find it oldish or strong, I find it a fresh and natural scent that is not outdated. Definately elegant but not in a bloody serious way. On my skin it feels even a bit cheerful and cute, people like it on me.
Most Liked Negative Review
scent no longer lasts like it used to
used this for years but this time it didnt last like it used to - maybe I am immune to the smell now - so I would recommend trying it - I may use something...Read complete review
used this for years but this time it didnt last like it used to - maybe I am immune to the smell now - so I would recommend trying it - I may use something else next time and then try again just to see if I was immune to the smell

It has been so nice not have to worry about school.
So far, Summer has been pretty awesome.
I've gone to the beach twice:) Last night I went up to Albany to see the fireworks. It was pretty awesome.
I really want to start getting into shape though. It's so hard to get motivated. I just want to blink my eyes and have a 6 pack… if only.
I'm really excited for Binghamton. Orientation is in 2 weeks.
It's so weird that I'm going to college.
I believe I'm going to Maine with Tom at the end of July. It has potenial to be a really good time.. I hope it is.
I wish I was working more this summer, but instead we're getting rid of nearly everything in our house because we have to more.
