Gift will help ease financial burden for UC Merced students
MERCED, Calif. — A $1 million donation from Foster Poultry Farms will allow the University of California, Merced, to further enrich the lives of students through scholarships.
For many high school students, going to a university often comes with financial challenges. The Foster Poultry Farms Scholarship Fund — a $1 million scholarship fund that will be given over the next 10 years — has been established to help eligible UC Merced students receive the financial support needed to further their education.
"Our initial gift has already made a remarkable impact in the lives of UC Merced students and the community," said Sue Foster, the company's director of corporate giving. "We are delighted to further support the university and its important mission by providing student scholarships."
To date, Foster Poultry Farms has supported the university with donations totaling nearly $2.3 million. Based in Livingston, Foster Poultry Farms is the leading poultry producer in the western United States and has remained a family-owned business since its founding in 1939.
"The Foster family has been truly visionary, supporting the 10th UC campus before it was even built," Chancellor Steve Kang said. "Generations of students will benefit from their generosity."
Early on, the family recognized that graduates of UC Merced will be an essential resource for regional companies that need prepared workers. In 2004, Foster Poultry Farms donated $1.2 million to fund hands-on educational experiences through the Foster Family Center for Engineering Service Learning program.
Through the program, UC Merced students get the opportunity to engineer real solutions to complex problems faced by real clients. Students work in project teams to define, design, build, test, deploy and support systems to meet their clients' needs — broadening their educational experience and enhancing their workplace readiness.
Scholarship gifts help UC Merced achieve its mission in the face of shrinking state support. According to the campus' Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, 87 percent of all undergraduate students applied for financial aid in the 2010-11 academic year, and 93 percent of those who applied received some form of financial assistance.
"As a scholarship recipient myself, I am truly grateful for to the Fosters for their continued dedication to our students and their academic success," Kang said. "Their gift will go a long way in making a college education attainable for UC Merced students regardless of their family's financial situation."

I created a manual recording of the NY Giants Super Bowl Parade. However, it's in the DVR list as 'Manual Recording'
I'd like to be able to give it a title in addition to selecting the channel, start time, end time, etc...
So instead of seeing 'Manual Recording' in the DVR list, I'd see 'NY Giants Super Bowl Parade'
Great Idea........should not be too hard for Verizon to make this happen.
Or at least have the recording take the name of the first show that was part of the recording.
Would find that a bit more preferable as having to arrow around to all of the characters could be painful.

After graduating from high school early, Georgia Tech basketball signee Solomon Poole has enrolled at the school and will be eligible to play as soon as he is cleared by the NCAA.
Poole, a point guard from Jacksonville and the younger brother of team member Stacey Poole Jr., will begin practicing Saturday.
"They've got their team chemistry," Poole said. "I'm just trying to come in and help them win some games."
Poole has plenty of work to do to learn coach Brian Gregory's system and adapt to the college game, but his ball handling and athletic ability could give the Yellow Jackets a boost. Poole would likely compete with Pierre Jordan for minutes behind starting point guard Mfon Udofia. Two recruiting services rate him the No. 37 prospect in the senior class.
"I know Solomon is ready to help this team in any way he can, and in any role possible," Gregory said in a statement. "While this is great for our program currently, it will also accelerate Solomon's progress into the future."
Team officials do not expect problems with his eligibility clearance with the NCAA. Meanwhile, his brother Stacey, who transferred to Tech from Kentucky in January 2012, is also preparing to suit up for the Yellow Jackets. After sitting out for a year, he will be eligible to play in next Monday's game against Alabama State. They will become the first brothers to be on the same Tech team since Jon and Drew Barry in the 1991-92 season.
Said Solomon, "I've always looked forward to playing with my brother in college."
While football players enrolling early have become relatively common, it is unusual in basketball. Last season, Tennessee fielded an early enrollee in forward Jarnell Stokes, who played in 17 of the Volunteers' final 18 games after being cleared and was named to the coaches' All-SEC freshman team.
"I know it's going to be a big transition for me from high school to college," Poole said. "I've just got to be ready for it."
Does he feel ready?
Said Poole, "I'm always ready."

Wow that is different. So I guess he didn't play his senior year in High school but a few games.
December 11th, 2012
8:23 pm
This is interesting. He is basically a senior in HS but will be getting PT in the ACC. Hope he can hang with the big boys this year.
December 11th, 2012
8:23 pm
Yeah it really is different. They're willing to sacrifice a year of his eligibility in only getting to play the last half of the season?
December 11th, 2012
8:28 pm
Just wait!
December 11th, 2012
8:31 pm
Deadpool…….more than Half of the season. They have played 8 games out of 30 so if he gets cleared over the Christmas Holiday Break he will play like 2/3rds of the season.
December 11th, 2012
8:31 pm
Look at it this way…..if he were to be a "one and done", then he would really be a "one and a half and done"….
Why not??
It also increases the chances of recruiting another high quality PG sooner…..since he is definitely leaving a year earlier.
Plus, next year sets up as a year for us to potentially be a Top 20 team……good for him to get experience now.
December 11th, 2012
8:44 pm
UNC had a baseball player do this last year. Graduated HS in December began and playing college at the start of the season in Feb.
December 11th, 2012
8:57 pm
Great Move. As they say, those who hesitate, !@#$turbate
December 11th, 2012
9:07 pm
Poole's got a lot of talent, will challange Georges-Hunt for best player on the team right now.
Tech will be real stong team by ACC Tourney time, Here we go baby.
Here is about 3 months ago
December 11th, 2012
9:14 pm
This will make a huge difference for NEXT year's team. CBG's 12-13 squad will be loaded and now his PG will have ACC experience coming out of the gate next fall. This will speed the rebuilding of the program up a notch or two. Hope the team chemistry comes together in a hurry. If so, look out.
December 11th, 2012
9:46 pm
He has some good ups for 6′ player. Rarely do you see a six footer throwing down alley-oops. Hope is a team player.
December 11th, 2012
9:51 pm
The Poole brothers are just two more reasons to be optimistic about the future of the b'ball program. I hope they are at least as successful as the Barry brothers! Based on what I've seen so far this season, I wouldn't be surprised if this year's squad finishes in the top 4-5 in the conference THIS year. Next year should be even better.
December 11th, 2012
9:52 pm
This will be a big move about March, if he stays healthy. Two months to adjust to the ACC game.
Maybe not much help at point but as a scorer he could be critical.
December 11th, 2012
10:07 pm
Everyone keeps saying that we've already played a third of the season but the bottom line is we haven't played anyone besides Illinois and Cal to this point. Don't say that Solomon Poole is only playing part of the season because the ACC part of the season is the only part that really matters.
December 11th, 2012
10:35 pm
Thanks for that video link on Poole. He sho' looked good!
December 11th, 2012
10:52 pm
Ken -
I believe the Babul's were the last brothers to play on the same team, right?
December 11th, 2012
10:55 pm
Solomon's game reminds me some of Will Bynum. Check out the video link above. This could be fun fast!
December 12th, 2012
1:00 am
Look forward to seeing if the Poole bros. can help the Yellow Jackets. Didn't look like much D was being played in the highlight video though….
December 12th, 2012
1:04 am
Wow, this is a surprise!! Over the next few games, this team has the chance to gel and scare the you know what out of all the teams in the ACC. Really like what CBG is doing with the program. If he gets success on the court, this could really build into something great.
Georges-Hunt and Carter are going to be really big stars, really soon. With Mfon playing good with Poole backing up and maybe taking over, this team can go FAR!!!
My new seats are great and I'm going to be sitting in them, well maybe standing and cheering!!!
Welcome back "Thriller Dome."
December 12th, 2012
1:48 am
Exciting! Looking forward to seeing the brothers on the court together.
December 12th, 2012
3:52 am
This is an unexpected addition and makes GT a team that could be a surprise when ACC play starts. Go Jackets!
December 12th, 2012
4:32 am
Only Jon Babul played for Tech, his brother Mike played at UMASS
December 12th, 2012
6:51 am
Whoever thought this will burn a half year eligibility, he wasn't going to be here four years. Our best blue chip since Favors and he gets to start early! Wow this Tech hoops deal keeps getting better and better. With a coach who shot mid 80s on free throws we should get better at that
December 12th, 2012
8:00 am
Steady, steady, stedy. Learn the game, learn the system. We may see early glimpses of what is to be expected for the next few years; but at the moment, don't expect the brothers to show up and immediately elevate this team to championship caliber. Team is garnering support and stability (and back-up insurance players).
December 12th, 2012
8:01 am
[...] Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Georgia Tech is about to add two Pooles to its lineup. Stacey Poole, a transfer from Kentucky, is eligible to start playing Monday. His younger brother, Solomon, graduated high school early and will be joining the Yellow Jackets as soon as the NCAA sorts out his eligibility, which isn't expected to be an issue. Solomon should help spell Mfon Udofia at the point guard position (he'll probably start as the third guy in line, but I expect him to see significant minutes by conference play). Solomon Poole will be one of the more athletically gifted guys on the team right away, but how long will it take him to get used to the college game? [...]
December 12th, 2012
8:04 am
Cannot wait until the Poole brothers start playing and we can sit Pierre Jordan on the bench where he belongs. We need a competent backup point guard in the worst way.
December 12th, 2012
8:15 am
This solves our only weakness, depth and strength at point guard. When Mfon has been hurt or in foul trouble Pierre Jordan has played well, but he is not a consistent shooter or penetrator and defenses play off him. Offense slows and bogs down and defense is not as physical. With Julian Royal beginning to come on, barring an injury to Miller this team could definitely beat anyone in the conference except Duke and qualify for a 3 to 6 seed in the conference tourney and an NCAA bid this year! (Too young and inexperienced to beat Duke as we only play them once in Cameron. Not less talented.)
December 12th, 2012
8:17 am
Thanks for waiting, Ken, until I had bought my ACC ticket package.
I'm kidding here.
Probably had nothing to do with my question yesterday as this article had to be in the works, but talk about a prompt reply.
So great job.
Anyone who complains about your reporting is either a Georgia troll, an idiot or both.
December 12th, 2012
8:32 am
I hope this makes some laugh but I have not been this excited about Tech basketball since a ten year old buddy pointed out to me that R.D. Craddock, Ron Sharp and Joe Coldwell were all sophomores. Add a few players and we would be on our way to a repeat trip to elite 8 where Roger Kaiser had taken us a few years earlier when only 16 teams were invited to the Dance. Kaiser made a list of top 50 college ballers of all time though that list was ten or so years ago.
Cremins' 1996 team was also very exciting but the preseason ranking at #1 probably was as bad a curse as making the SI cover.
That ranking failed to look at the lack of any bench and how tired that team's starters would be in crunch time from little rest time during games.
Never quite understood why Cremins couldn't recruit more than one player a year (who saw the floor).
That flaw, I believe, led to underperformance and some unhappiness with his stay at Tech.
Pre-season thrill/ post season flop.

No need to knock a Jacket.

But OK to get excited?
And buy tickets.
I forgot to provide my grades for our fans for attendance at the Tech/Uga game.

Walk-up fans – B.

Too many very good empty seats.
Tickets next to me sold to family of Uga player (mom & 3 younger brothers and sister) who were very well behaved, btw.

Cremins could recruit more. He didn't want to. He got that one ultra-blue-chipper each year by promising that the guy would be "the man" at that position from day one til he left. Always had depth problems. Cremins didn't recruit "over" a guy he had commited to. A guy knew if he came to GT, he would play 35-40 minutes per game.

This guy is an explosive athlete, ball handling and shooting need work. It will be interesting to see how this works.

Solomon Poole is carried on the roster at 6-0, 180 with #45.
Stacey Poole is eligible for 3 seasons. The idea is to keep Solomon around for that 3 same years.
We shall see.

Assuming Solomon Poole can get up to speed and adjusted to the ACC, this should help GT in the 2nd half of the conference season – Udofia needs some backup. GT still needs a reliable outside shooter.

Deadpool…who was the last great NCAA basketball player to stay in school all 4 years? Why not go ahead and play them as soon as possible since they want be around long anyway.

This is the equivalent of a trade at mid season. Tech picks up a PG who can spell Udofia for long periods without significant drop off in production. Jordan can give you 3-5 minutes on a good day. But he doesn't have the talent of Poole , even at this stage of Solomon's development. If M'fon went down to injury, Poole could at least play decent minutes…he has excellent ball handling skills. How much he can contribute still is uncettain, but I wouldn't bet against this kid getting quality minutes by March.
This makes Tech much, much deeper.Heyward's injury made Tech vulnerable if M'fon went down. Now, they shouldn't drop a beat with Solomon if that happened as far as playing within the system.Guess the minutes for the Poole brothers will come at the expense of Reed, Morris and Jordan.
My only concern is Royal. Really like the kid. He needs to get minutes, but is getting paltry few right now.Gregory made it a big deal talking Julian into staying at Tech when he arrived.Hope there is a place for him in the rotation.He has a big enough frame to play PF when Miller is sitting, or BG goes with 3 bigs ( rare). Tech is very deep….probably as deep as 2002 when Lane and Brooks were the 9th and 10th men Or when Luke was that deep on the bench behind Bosh in 03.

Polypore mushrooms are medicinal mushrooms used for centuries as a tonic to detoxify, cleanse and strengthen all systems. Polypore mushrooms are adaptogens that have a high level of antioxidants that nourish and balance the body.
This group of mushrooms grow on rotting logs and stumps and are called bracket fungi because look like shelves or brackets. They are usually found on rotting birch trees but are also found on other trees. Mushrooms that grow on birch are desirable because they have some of the properties that birch has like the essential oil betulin. Betulin and other fat soluble parts can only be captured in a tincture because water preparations like tea only capture the water-soluble constituents.
Artist's conk is the only fungi identifiable by the ability to etch designs and words on it and it grows on hardwood trees like maples.
Remove Mushrooms with a hatchet, axe or knife and chop them up with a hammer or axe in a cardboard box. You can dry them out for a couple of days in a warm place. Use polypore mushrooms medicinally in a tea or tincture and are typically not culinary.
This is a good documentary about knowing your mushrooms.
There is new research into how mushrooms can clean up the planet by eating up oil spills and breaking down plastics.
There are culinary, medicinal and poisonous varieties of mushrooms so correct identification is important. Caution when picking mushrooms because misidentification can lead to fatalities. Get fungi from a reputable source or take a guide with you into nature and some field guide books to wild-craft but caution is advised!
This is a good website about mushrooms in eastern Canada and United States.

New York is taking center stage in the increasingly close presidential race Tuesday night, when President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney square off at Hofstra University in a town hall-style second debate. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
The eyes of the world will be on Hempstead, N.Y. on Tuesday night, when Presidential Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney debate in Hofstra University. How the candidates answer the questions could sway who becomes the nation's next president.
"We're very grateful to be back at Hofstra. It's amazing to see the set go up and to understand what is going to take place here," said Janet Brown of the Commission on Presidential Debates, as the hall on Hofstra underwent final preparations.
"The voters in Nassau have the same issues as voters anywhere else, they just have different demands and expectations for their life," said Levy.
Outside the auditorium, signs and political artwork were being arranged and the university's 11,700 students seemed to buzz with nervous energy.
"I think the energy is just crazy," said Hofstra student Chelsea Gillyard.
This collegiate pride united Gillyard, a Democrat from the Bronx, and Victoria Rametta, a Republican from Connecticut. Both political junkies, they seemed to gawk at how their campus transformed into the epicenter of the presidential race.
"A helicopter flew outside my room this morning, it was pretty loud. It felt like someone was going to come through my window. It was pretty awesome," said Gillyard.
Only one thing could make it better.
"Unfortunately, I have not gotten a ticket yet. If I could bribe, if I could buy the ticket off someone I would, but I can't. They are very strict with the tickets," Rametta said.
Who can get in aside from the candidates, the moderator and the undecided voters? There is a lottery for students. Otherwise, Hofstra has set up four watch parties, plus two for the surrounding communities and two for alumni.

Essential Info
Reinventing Los Angeles
Los Angeles—the place without a sense of place, famous for sprawl and overdevelopment and defined by its car-clogged freeways—might seem inhospitable to efforts to connect with nature and community. But in Reinventing Los Angeles, educator and activist Robert Gottlieb describes how imaginative and innovative social movements have coalesced around the issues of water development, cars and freeways, and land use, to create a more livable and sustainable city.
Gottlieb traces the emergence of Los Angeles as a global city in the twentieth century and describes its continuing evolution today. He examines the powerful influences of immigration and economic globalization as they intersect with changes in the politics of water, transportation, and land use, and illustrates each of these core concerns with an account of grass roots and activist responses: efforts to reenvision the concrete-bound, fenced-off Los Angeles River as a natural resource; "Arroyofest," the closing of the Pasadena Freeway for a Sunday of walking and bike riding; and immigrants' initiatives to create urban gardens and connect with their countries of origin.
Reinventing Los Angeles is a unique blend of personal narrative (Gottlieb himself participated in several of the grass roots actions described in the book) and historical and theoretical discussion. It provides a road map for a new environmentalism of everyday life, demonstrating the opportunities for renewal in a global city.
About the Author
Robert Gottlieb is Henry R. Luce Professor of Urban Environmental Studies at Occidental College in Los Angeles. He is the author of Environmentalism Unbound: Exploring New Pathways for Change (2001), and Reinventing Los Angeles: Nature and Community in the Global City (2007), both published by the MIT Press, and other books.
"No complaining diatribe, this book proffers solutions and heralds successful programs already in place...Gottlieb dissects and discusses origins, failures, successes, and future ramifications of nature, community, water, transportation, migration, and globalization in the city in a way that is neither preachy nor accusatory, but informative and—I dare say—inspiring."—Society & Architectural Historians News
"[Gottlieb's] richly informative book is really about flow—of resources, people, history—and about how we all need to put our hands into that urban stream as participants directing community, a word he sensibly makes very nearly synonymous with environment."—Orion
"With his trenchant examination of the politics of nature and theenvironment in the global city of Los Angeles, Robert Gottlieb has doneus a tremendous service. He demonstrates how determined groups ofcitizens have been able to refashion Los Angeles' natural environmentin innovative ways that not only preserve but expand our core values ofconservation and environmental justice. This is a brilliant map chartingthe green future of our increasingly urban world."
—Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Mayor of Los Angeles
"Robert Gottlieb has long been a pioneer in redefining environmentalism,turning ideas into action, and forging coalitions in the often murkyatmosphere of Los Angeles. This book offers a timely account of thepromising work in the City of Angels to forge a political movement thatintegrates social, economic, and environmental health."
—Jennifer Price, author of Flight Maps: Adventures with Nature in ModernAmerica
"Robert Gottlieb reminds us that cities, and the political actors within them, can and do change. Los Angeles came of age by shoving nature around. But in these early years of the 21st century, grassroots and community action hint that the environmental future of the city and region may not be so dire. Written by a scholar/activist who has been at the center of much of the recent excitement, this book is a scholarly report, a celebration, and a further call to action."
—William Deverell, Department of History and Director, Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West, University of Southern California
"Bob Gottlieb is an organizer extraordinaire, a practical visionary, and atactical genius. When Friends of the Los Angeles River partnered withOccidental College for a year's worth of collaborative events, one of thegreat pleasures for me was working with Bob, who has an astonishing abilityto work not just a system but all kinds of systems for the public good. Alot of people make fun of the idealism of the late 60's, but Gottlieb is oneof those whose idealism has only been sharpened and refined by the ensuingyears and made more effective. Everybody who reads this book will beinspired to make their community, their city and the world into a betterplace, I promise."
—Lewis MacAdams, Friends of the Los Angeles River

I've got a lot of nostalgia for movies like "The Ring" and "The Grudge." I didn't really grow up with horror movies, so at the time these came out, "horror" basically meant: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movies, the later and more embarrassing sequels of "Halloween," and a whole host of "Scream" knock-offs.
It looks like everyone's favorite sailor boy Sam Raimi has been confirmed to produce the upcoming "Poltergeist" remake. This puts an end to the rumors that he would be taking the director's chair for the film. But if not him then who!? And why do we call him "sailor boy"? It's almost like I'm making all of this up or something.
Fans of "The Ring" will be excited, shocked, disgusted and/or neutral on the news that there may be another film in the works. According to Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman there's an idea being tossed around that would see the next installment in the film series going the found footage route. Ya know, cause why not?
I don't want to say this is the worst news day ever but I'm about to give you an update on casting for "Wrong Turn 5". Ready? Simon Ginty, Oliver Hoare, Amy Lennox, Paul Luebke, Duncan Wisbey, Kyle Redmond-Jones and Peter Brooke are all in. I honestly have no idea who any of these people are.
Blah blah blah Asylum is making a "Battleship" rip off called "American Battleship" and Universal is pissed about it and going to sue. They're just mad because they didn't think of putting Carl Weathers in his Apollo Creed shorts on the poster. Ya know, cause it's a lot cheaper to get Carl Weathers than Rihanna. I just assume.
An Indiana man is under arrest after he forced another man to moonwalk at gun point. Wasn't this in a movie? I feel like it was Gene Wilder holding the gun. That can't be right though. Someone help me out here. It wasn't "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" was it?
It's got to be a fun night for a cop when you're called to a trailer court because a shotgun just went off and there's a guy who calls himself BeeSting wrestling with a resident. Beats traffic duty I guess.
I always thought the American remake of "Ringu" was the better film when compared to the original. It's an opinion I realize isn't widely shared in the greater horror community, but then again, being a contrarian is kind of my thing, I'm ok with it. Anyway, Japan has decided to resurrect the series with "Sadako 3D", named after the original film's antagonist. She was by far the scariest thing about that original, so let's hope they bring back the original actress. I didn't feeling like sifting through terrible Babelfish translations all day to find out if they did.
A new poster for John Carpenter's new flick "The Ward" has come out and don't even bother clicking the link because I'm going to explain it so well you won't even need to see it. Remember that scene in "Labyrinth" Jennifer Connelly falls down the hole and all the hands hold her up? Well it's just like that but with Amber Heard in a short skirt. See! No need to look at it now.
You know what "The Ring" was missing? An all female Japanese pop group! I know it's so obvious now that I've said it. Luckily the movie "White" is here to fix that with a gaggle of new photos and a full out trailer. The movie revolves around the pop group Pink Dolls (I think that's a pun) and the strange events that happen to them after they discover a mysterious video. Sounds super spooky and as a bonus, dance numbers!
Confused as to why there's a "Carrie" remake in the works? Well so is Stephen King. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly he asked the bold question "why, when the original was so good?". The remake is set to stay truer to King's original book but by his own admission the movie version was actually scarier. He then went on to ask "what's the deal with airplane food?" but by then I assume the interviewer had walked out.
While we all wait for a new "Child's Play" movie to happen the good people at TikGames have decided to bring Chucky to your console in the form of a new video game they hope to have out this fall. The game will apparently be the original story and allow players to control the little killer himself. Will it be awful? Probably. Will I pay money for it? You bet your sweet ass I will.
Police in Ohio are on the look out for a bank robber sporting a mullet who is apparently responsible for at least two robberies and countless broken hearts. Serious hold up in the front, party in the back. Of course I'm 99% sure that 3 out of 4 men in Ohio have mullets so narrowing this down might not be so easy after all.
Well the rapture came and went without so much as a Billy Crystal public stoning but tossing the words "zombie apocalypse" in a headline about hurricane season drove so much traffic to the CDC's website that it actually crashed. Unless the CDC's website crashing was the rapture. I thought there was suppose to be fire shooting out of the sky but a server reboot can be pretty awful too.
The 3-D craze has donned its leather jacket and pointed its motorcycle towards the ramp as Paramount Pictures has announced plans to make a new "Ring" movie, this time in 3-D. David Loucka has already been tapped to pen the script in what Paramount hopes is a reinvention of the franchise.
"Scream" scribe Kevin Williamson put to rest the rumors that Jamie Kennedy will be returning for "Scream IV". "We're not that universe where you can bring people back from the dead. That would be just a cheat." Good to see that there's still some integrity in Hollywood!
While not really news in and of its self, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this sweet "Nightmare on Elm Street" popcorn bucket when you head out to catch the remake this weekend!
In a recent press junket for his latest feature "Robin Hood", director Ridley Scott let slip that the both of the upcoming "Alien" prequels will be released in 3D. If you're paying attention, you'll notice that I used the word 'both'. Scott also let it be known that he is planning on two prequels for the franchise.
"Machete" is no longer the only feature to spawn from the fake trailers shown in 2007's "Grindhouse". The next trailer to be stretched to full length will be "Hobo With a Shotgun" starring none other that Rutger Hauer.
Christina Cifaldi has a beef against Wal Mart's clothing lines as she has been arrested for $163 worth of clothes, taking them into the fitting room and urinating all over them. It was pretty easy for officials to deduce who the culprit was as Cifaldi had left her wallet and drivers license in the fitting room next to her stinky leavings.
A Brazilian woman decided to go for a drive after one too many drinks, and ended up causing the death of another woman and her unborn child. When the drunken 24 year old tried to leave the scene of the accident, a group of onlookers drug her from her car and shot her five times for her crime.

Sony has upgraded its EX645 series TV with onboard wireless providing even better value given its predecessor's already solid picture quality.
Although it's blessed with a solid feature set, the picture quality of Sharp LC-LE830U series falls short of most LED-based LCD TVs we've tested.
Although its black levels challenge the best ever, some other picture-related aspects of the Sony XBR-HX909 series don't live up to the high price.
The Sony HX750 series isn't the headliner that you'd expect it to be with a performance that isn't up to the level of the asking price.
Easily the most capable Internet-connected TV ever made, Sony's NSX-GT1 series calls for a tech-savvy buyer who can live with Google TV's growing pains, a touchy remote, and so-so picture quality.
Despite its lighter black levels, the Westinghouse TX-47F430S 1080p LCD wide-screen television produces an otherwise solid picture for a very good price.
The bare-bones Toshiba L5200 series offers respectable value for the money with fine picture quality for an edge-lit LED TV.
Pricing not available
The LG 47LV5500 is a decent performer at its price level and features a great Smart TV package, but paying a little more for a different model would reap big rewards.

Wait, so the pope got butthurt from kids poking at him? Irony, you're a crafty motherfucker.
But I'm fine
The sun feels nice on my face
A small moment in time to erase the disgrace and distaste I have currently embodying the space in my mind
But I'm fine
I try to rewind to a time when I didn't feel so pessimistic about life
When I was 12 years old I loss my first friend to senseless violence
I'm thinking that was the day, when I approached my friend Henry in the halls of my middle school and noticed suppressed tears in his eyes, and asked him why his brother wasn't at school that day
Sometimes I wish he had lied
Because I changed upon hearing his answer, that his brother had died
Over twenty years later I fight everyday to find that feeling of security, however false it may have been, but then my reality sends me into a never ending tailspin, because I grew up in a place where the nightly news was a death toll, families were suffering in a death roll by an alligator we couldn't see, hear or touch
At sixteen I got a car and a gun
And I'm grateful for both but deep down inside I wish that I had only needed one
Why I'm so bothered by this Penn State Scandal
When I first read about the Penn State Scandal, involving Jerry Sandusky and his long list of accessories, including legendary football icon Joe Paterno and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett (who just so happened to be excluded from the recently-released Freeh report), I wasn't quite sure why it hit me so hard. I was furious. Like, next level furious. Like, wanted to fly to Penn State and beat someone down furious. I never got on a plane. Instead, I began to research.
I was led to a conveniently hidden story called The Franklin Scandal, involving top-ranking public officials and a child prostitution ring ran out of the famous child sanctuary Boys Town. A BBC documentary produced for the Discovery Channel that revealed the depths of the corruption and evil surrounding this case was ultimately killed before broadcast by an undisclosed party. It's not by accident that you don't know about it. Thankfully, someone leaked a copy of the documentary on youtube. If you have the stomach and the time, I suggest a youtube search of "Conspiracy of Silence", it's a small taste of what's out there. Without going into detail, my research led to a world I wish I never knew existed. To put it as simply as possible, there is an international pedophile ring that caters specifically to the elite, who indulge in the sexual abuse of children as a delicacy. They prey on unwanted kids, orphans usually, kids that society doesn't care about, and they use them to fulfill unthinkable desires that can only be described as pure evil. It's an ugly truth that mankind has yet mustered up the strength to face, and until we do, it will continue.
But why did it hit me so hard? Was it Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary's detailed recollection of walking in on Sandusky sodomizing a young boy in the Penn State locker room? Was it the fact that I put myself in that situation and couldn't understand how McQueary didn't physically beat the life out of Sandusky right then and there? Was it the image of McQueary turning around and walking out while hearing the repeated sexual slaps of skin on skin as Sandusky stole a young boy's innocence and destroyed his life? Was it my hunch that Joe Paterno and the rest of the college's leaders had to know what was going on but refused to take action? I wasn't sure. What did that have to do with me? Then I remembered, and everything became clear.
When I was sixteen, I learned that someone very close to me, a friend I love dearly, was being sexually abused by their parent. He was this person's step-dad. The night I learned of this, I spent two hours outside the man's house, alone in my car, contemplating trading my freedom and entire future to ensure it would never happen again. I was filled with anger and hatred for this man. Those that know me know I'm not a violent person, but that night I was overwhelmed with emotion and rage. Thankfully, the sense of morality and strength instilled in me by my parents and grandparents won the war that night, and I drove away without making what would've been the biggest mistake of my life.
The next day I learned something that forever changed me. The mother knew, and was letting it continue to happen. Whether it was pure denial, or out of fear of losing her husband, that didn't matter. I went from enraged to heartbroken. My faith in humanity, however misguided and delusional, was broken. I didn't know what to do, but I knew I had to make it stop.
Why was I shouldered with this task? How did this become my responsibility? Weren't adults supposed to protect us? Any false ideas I had about right and wrong were stripped from me, and I was left with just the secret that this person had entrusted me with. This person had begged me not to say anything. Even at sixteen, I was always a man of my word, at the risk of sounding self-righteous, a man of honor. I decided, without any consultation, that while keeping a secret is important, more important was to ensure that this horrible reality would cease to continue. I walked into my family room and told my parents what I knew, and that we needed to stop it.
That night, because I spoke up, and because my parents did the right thing, police went to this person's house, removed them and put them in their birth father's custody. The mom refused to press charges, or even acknowledge the truth. My friend couldn't even speak. With no charges pressed, the police eventually left, never to be heard from again on the matter, leaving the monster and his enabler alone with two younger children.
It was like a horrible dream. In the movies, the bad guy got arrested and went to jail. This never happened. The coward was allowed to continue without any consequences. I was never the same after that, and until the moment of clarity when I recalled this situation, I had blocked it out of my memory. Nearly twenty years, absolutely no recollection. Knowing what I know now, I realize that I was traumatized by this event, and as a way of dealing with the trauma, I had deleted it from my memory. Until that familiar feeling of rage hit me.
This is more of a therapeutic journal entry than any type of coherently structured article or "piece". This is real. This is why child sexual abuse is a big issue with me. This happened, and it will continue to happen to small, innocent victims all over the world until adults collectively decide that it's their duty to protect children at all costs. The mom was just as guilty as the step-dad. The neighbor who knew something was up but didn't want to get involved was just as guilty as the step-dad. Had I not said something, I would have been just as guilty as the step-dad.
Thankfully, I said something.
I heard Instagram was down. I hope none of you had to actually interact with other people. Gross.
Amadio says…
Everyday we have a choice to be either the villain, the victim or the hero. Be the hero.

However long it takes for a real victory to be certified—no matter what happens on Election Day, it will be too early to unfurl a "Mission Accomplished" banner—the once ragtag march of lovers has acquired an air of inevitability. Edith Eyde's prophecy is almost fulfilled: gays are more or less regular folk. All the same, many who came out during the Stonewall era are wondering what will be lost as the community sheds its pariah status. They are baffled by the latter-day cult of marriage and the military—emblems of Eisenhower's America that the Stonewall generation joyfully rejected. The gay world is confronting a question with which Jews, African-Americans, and other marginalized groups have long been familiar: the price of assimilation.—Love on the March by Alex Ross.

Yahoo! can change the world in three ways. It can change the company, it can change its employees, and it can change its users.
A few weeks ago Yahoo! hit those first two by pledging to become a carbon neutral company while asking its employees to reduce their carbon footprint by 20% (and rewarding them with a co-founder v. co-founder sumo match.)
But until today their attempts to change the world through their users was limited to 18seconds.org, a CFL promotion site, and Yahoo Green Autos. But today, Yahoo! launched Yahoo! Green, a fully autonomous Yahoo! property that will be providing Yahoo's 500 million users tips on how to go green.
Everyone who participates in the program will receive a coupon for one Sylvania CFL and they'll get the only now order viagra online chance to viagra next day take a carbon-reduction pledge. Using a really fanstastic interface, Yahoo asks its users to drag the steps they pledge to take into their pledge box. At the end, it tells you how much carbon you've saved, and gives you tips on how to make your pledge a reality.
As part of the launch, Yahoo! is giving ten hybrid taxis to the City of New York, and co-founder David Filo will be talking with EcoGeek.org tomorrow morning about their new commitment to slowing the onslaught of viagra overnight global warming.

The opinions expressed are his own.
At this rate, we're going to have more debt-reduction proposals than we have trillions in debt. There was Simpson-Bowles, the Gang of Six (Pt. 1), Obama's $4 trillion gambit, Coburn's $9 trillion slash, Cut-Cap-and-Balance, and the Gang of Six (Pt. 2), Obama and Boehner's near-deal, and as of this week Reid and Boehner's dueling plans. But even the most austere of these proposals would have left us more than $5 trillion in debt, and the one likely to pass—if one passes, that is—will likely still leave us with more than $10 trillion of obligations. Somewhere, Andrew Jackson is shaking his skeletal head, pissed that a bunch of profligate Americans have soiled his legacy.
As president, Jackson was responsible for the first and only time the country stood at a true Debt Zero. The debt was $58.4 million when he first took office in 1829; six years later, as he would announce in his 1835 State of the Union, the country was finally in the black, with $440,000 in the bank. All it took to get there was a maniacal devotion to small government, the forced removal of tens of thousands of Native Americans, and tariffs so high the union nearly broke apart. The kind of thing that's easily replicable in 2011.
So while we're counting down the days until the U.S. bursts through the ceiling like a Roald Dahl character, let's dwell on a different timeline: Andrew Jackson's. It'll remind you that Debt Zero doesn't happen overnight.
1795: For Jackson, debt became his white whale from an early age. Before he went to battle and burnished his Old Hickory* legacy, he was a lawyer and real-estate man, and a rich one at that. When Jackson was 32, he sold 68,000 acres of land to a guy named David Allison. But Allison didn't have the most stable of financial lives, and soon ended up declaring bankruptcy and rotting in a debtors prison, where he'd die in 1798. Jackson, meanwhile, was left in a lurch, having used the promise of Allison's money to start buying supplies for a trading post he was starting. According to John Steele Gordon's surprisingly readable history of U.S. debt, Hamilton's Blessing, Jackson would spend the next 15 years sorting it all out.
1824: When Jackson first unsuccessfully campaigned for president he did it on a platform that would make Tea Partiers blush. He framed the federal debt as an almost-spiritual affliction, calling it "a national curse." As Jon Meacham writes in, American Lion, his Pulitzer-winning biography of Jackson: "To him debt was dangerous, for debt put power in the hands of creditors—and if power was in the hands of creditors, it could not be in the hands of the people, where Jackson believed it belonged."

It v&m assured fact that there are dn both counties enough petitions to assure the submissian of the direct nomination question as to county officials, and most probably in the senatorial and representative districts in which this county is located the question will also be submitted. No figures are forthcoming from other counties in the 28th and 25th sentorial districts, but reports of petitions in a number of them indi- dicate similar conditions as in Olare and Isabella. CLARE COUNTY That the republican voters of the county will have an opportunity to come under the direct nomination law of the state seems an assured thing, and as the interest in getting petitions signed was so intense as to compel men to drive the snow drifts to secure the proper number of signatures, and as there is almost no opposition to the submission on the part of the voters of the county, the pro position will carry at the polls by an overwhelming majority. Democrates too have gotten a hustle on and in short order secured the necessary number for submission. The following is the number of petitioners from each precinct received by County Olerk Morrissey up to yesterday afternoon: lie. Wtiste Horw. and His Rider iroafl it.Oar Midst. THE KOJiL CALL, Mrs, John Garohow of Grant. Mrs* Wm. Olink and babe of Farwell,, Geo, Alger, of Manistique. Dr, R. A, Gray of Olare. George L. Campbell of Farwell. . Mrs. T. M. Hilson of Farwell. "tars. Chester Sprague of Surry, Seldom indeed does the Sentinel ohroicle so, much of sorrow and death as "is recorded is this issue.

It takes 233 for the republicans and 90 for the democrats. MRS, WM. OLINKv At Farwell Tuesday occured the death of Mrs. Wm, Olink, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Bert Allen of West Grant, at the age of twenty-three, her two day old baby proceeding her to the great Unknown about twenty- four hours, The funeral was held from the Olare M, B. church yesterday in charge of Rev. G. W. Maxwell, and mother and child laid away in the same"grave in Cherry Grove. Deceased spent most of her life in West Grant. Four years ago she was married to Wm. Olink. Last fall they moved to Farwell. Sad indeed is it to. lay away in death one whose life seemed just opening to larger usefulness. MBS. JOHN GAKOHOW. On Monday morning in Grant township occured the death of Mrs. Johanna Friedricka W. Belling Garchow after a ten days illness from complications along the digestive track. Funeral services were conducted yesterday by Rev. Mr. Waedilich from the Lutheran church and interment made at Oherry- Grove. , Deceased was born atMechlenburg, Germany, July 28, 1851. In 1869 she was married to John Garchow. In 1882 they emigrated to America, coming directly to Clare, where they have since lived north of town. Nine children have been born to the home, three preceeding her in death. With the bereaved husband six children and nine grand children with a host of friends to mourn her demise. Oarl Belling is a surviving brother. In her death the Lutheran St. John's church has lost an active member. GEORGE ALGER. A telegram from Manistique conveyed to Mr. and Mrs. Byron Alger February 26th the news of serious injury to their son, George, the day be- in 1872 and living here continuously since. Her maiden name was Sarah Jane Olark and Oakland county her nativity, born 1837. She was married to Thos. M. Hilson in 1858, the ceremony taking place at the Bay Oity light house. She was the mother of ten children of whom only four survive. The husband, Oapt, Hilson, went down with his boat on Lake Erie in 1876, since which time deceased had lived a widow, loved and respected by all. The funeral was held on Wednesday a. m. from the home, members of the Eastern Star having a part. The floral tributes were most beauti- fbl. Interment was made at Farwell cemetery. The sorrowing relatives have the profound sympathy of all. GEO. L. CAMPBELL OF FARWELL, farwell Correspondent. On Monday morning at 7:00 Geo. L. Campbell met with a sudden and violent death while wArking at the Farwell heading mill. The accident happened by the bursting of an iron pulley, a .large portion of which struck Mr. Campbell upon the head causing immediate death. The whole village was wrapped in gloom at the sad news and every heart filled with sympathy for the bereaved family. Mr. Campbell was born October 12, 1857. He was united in marriage to Miss Eva Aldrich in 1879 who together with three children survives him. The funeral was held on Thursday March 5th from the Congregational church, Rev. Lewis Richards officiating. The remains were escorted to their last resting place by the Far- well Lodge, I. O. O. F., of which deceased was' Past Noble Grand and i was also Past Chief Patriarch of the encampment. >>He was a noble citizen, a good neighbor, a kind husband J and loving father. The floral em- united with the M, E, church and was ever a conscientious christian. Daisy was bom in October 1081 and died where she was born. She had a very amiable disposition and smiling good cheer were characteristic of her till near the last. She was a graduate of the Farwell high school, class of 1900,-and taught school one term. Then she was married to Chester Sprague. Two children were born to this union. Besides the husband and children she leaves a father, mother, three brothers and two sisters besides a host of friends to mourn her departure. The funeral was held from the Far- well M. E. church and was largely attended. The interment was in the Farwell cemetery. DISTINSUISHEDlPEAKERS. FARWELL EEGTI0N.

Representative Adams and Editor A. S. Ooutant who are understood to have fathered the movement found the above facts from an examination of the petitions on Tuesday and it is presumed County Clerk Rowlader will find no material difference on official examination.

His train was backing up some freight | cars when suddenly a car jumped the track and caught him against the cars on the adjoining track-, rolling him along on the side of the car and crushing him badly internally. He was taken to his boarding house and later to the hospital there and was operated on but Saturday morning expired from the injuries. Every care and kindness possible was shown the young man in his last days by many willing hands at Manistique. A member of Railroad Trainmen, the order did everything possible for him and for the sorrowing father who went for his son. These honest sons of toil showed real chiv- arly in sending Wm, Deuparo and his sister, Miss Rosa, of Manistique as their delegates to attend the funeral of their late comrade. He was engaged to be married to Miss Deu- paro and the wedding was set for March 4th f but on March 5th she followed to the grave her betrothed. The floral offering from fellow trainmen was another link of kindly re-, gard. George was born on the farm in Vernon. He Was home for the last time last fall. Besides the parents four sisters and one brother survive, Mrs. Harry Greenaway of Frankfort, Mrs. Geo. Veile of Detroit, Mrs. Mnrhey Bell of Flint, Belle at home and Russel A. of Detroit, all at the funeral. His grandmother and her husband, Mr, andMrs. E.

DR. ROBERT A. GRAY. In the death of Dr. R. A. Gray on Sunday after lingering almost a week, stricken with apoplexy, there passed away one of our oldest and best known medical practitioners and respected citizens. Funeral services were conducted from the home Tuesday by Rev. G. W. Maxwell. Interment was made at Oherry Grove. Deceased was a native of Ohio, born at Bloomfield May 18th, 1846. Growing to manhood he became a successful teacher and served in that capacity for a number of years. In 1876 he married Miss Anna Oubbage in Ohio. To that union two sons, Drs. Frank R. of this city and Harry of Menominee, and Miss Bessie, along with the widowed wife and mother survive. Turning his attention to the study ot medicine Dr. Gray took a course at the Oolumbus Medical school and subsequently entered ngon the practice of his profession in Olare twenty years ago. Far and wide over a large area of county here he ministered to the sick, and few men are more widely known than he. Just at the time his health began to fail some years ago his eldest son, Dr. Frank R., became associated with his father' and during the last years has largely attended to the firm's practice. Dr. Gray's health had been failing for the past five years, but at the time he was stricken down with apoplexy as he efyt at the dinner table March 23d, he seemed as well as he had been for years, In the death of Dr. Gray a familiar figure to hundreds of our people has gone,no more to share in life's problems in our midst. •.MARGUERITE E.
