NewsChannel 10 Sports Director Jacob Albracht with information from West Texas A&M University and the Don Carthel statement.
The incident involved Carthel and two players during LSC media day trip to Dallas. He purchased two $30 tickets to a Rangers game and a bottle of water, with the plan to be reimbursed back in Canyon. (which he was roughly a week later when they all saw one another ...again in Canyon) WT athletics inquired about reimbursement coming before or after. Fearful he might have violated NCAA rule, Don said before and told players to do the same. Carthel is curious why they inquired in the first place because he now knows this is not a violation.
There has been a strained relationship between Don and athletic administration for 5-6 years, and attorney Bill Kelly speculates "ulterior motives" for the termination.
We have reached out to WT Athletics Director Michael McBroom for further comment and are waiting to hear back. Much more at 5, 6, & 10.
Highlights from the Don Carthel statement:
Honor and privilege to coach and teach at WT the past 8 years.
Over the past several years my personal relationship has become strained with WT administration.
Incident involves a Rangers baseball game attended by Carthel and two players this summer during LSC media day.
Carthel had players reimburse him for tickets after the game, but told McBroom they did so before the game.
Carthel thought it might be in violation for him to not get money before, It apparently isn't a violation.
Carthel then told players to say the same thing, in order for their careers not to be jeopardized by his "erroneous assumption."
He is curious why the question of when reimbursement came up at all, since it is irrelevant.
As long as money was reimbursed. He says there was no NCAA violation.
"To the Buff Nation, my coaches, my team, all former players, two athletes in question, and my family... I am sorry for letting you down."
"I hope all of you continue your support for WT and this team, as they continue to strive for success both on and off the field"

It's here…
And very slim, but it's the file that describes anything that any official person knew about me before I came to the U.S.
After opening up the .pdf and having this big cathartic weird thing in my office that might have actually involved rocking in my chair (at work… with the door closed… yeah, I know, not ideal circumstances…) some insights:
My name was Jung Mi Yoon. Case No. K77-2907.
I was born on September 30. I was abandoned and admitted to Holt five days later.
My foster parents in Seoul were old. A 60-year-old man and his 56-year-old wife. They were poor, but they were considered kind and good with babies.
By October 11, I had "passed the physical exams."
By November 2, I was given a progress report. Some highlights:
"Sleeps irregularly.
"Moves her arms and legs vigorously, and kicks her quilt off.
"Controls her head well.
"Cries if someone truns (sic) the light off.
"Meets one's eyes once in a while.
"Coos often.
"Stops from crying if someone holds her in arms.
"Emotional and social development: Too young.
"She should develop into a fine girl in the future."

Edward Grund, Chair of the Z244 Committee, and Jeff Fryman, Z244 Committee Representative for the Robotic Industries Association, each contributed significantly to the recent revision of the Z244.1 standard, " Control of Hazardous Energy—Lockout/Tagout and Alternative Methods."
In this joint interview, Grund and Fryman describe the challenges they faced during the revision process, the improvements made to the Z244.1 standard and their predictions for how this revised standard will impact business, industry and safety.
What role did you each play in the revision and execution of the Z244.1 standard?
Grund: I have been a member of the Z244 Committee since 1973. I was on the original committee that produced the 1982 standard, and I was also one of the core writing task group members. I chaired the committee during this revision of Z244.1, and I continue to serve as Chair.
Fryman: I represented the Robotic Industries Association, and I led some of the small working groups that developed individual parts of the standard, notably Clauses 4 and 5.4. When the previous Vice Chair retired, I was selected to fill that position.
What challenges did you face during the revision process?
Grund: I found it challenging to revise a standard in which the original language was over 25 years old. Our group had only one member from the original committee. We also had to consider the OSHA lockout standard in all discussions even though we needed to look beyond mere compliance. The committee ploughed new ground when it addressed the issue of design, and it deserves credit for recognizing its importance as a factor in injury causation, i.e. "error-provocative design."
Fryman: The biggest challenge may have been writing a relevant document with new ideas about the control of hazardous energy while staying within the compliance requirements of the existing, but older, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations (which were based on the previous American National Standard).
How is the revised Z244.1 standard an improvement over the previous version? What new specifications, recommendations or features does it include?
Grund: The standard was a significant overhaul of a document in which the original final language was actually prepared during the 1974-1976 period. The standard, due to administrative snafus, languished for five years before approval and publication. Almost every area of the standard was enriched by the hard work of the committee members over a three-year period.
The key areas of change are the design requirements, the use of alternative methods based on risk assessment, the hierarchy of control techniques and the guidance exhibits and annexes.
Fryman: It is a totally revamped product, so hopefully it is an improvement. A great deal of technical development and capabilities have evolved since the 1982 edition of the standard. These new technologies make the control of hazardous energy both more complex and easier to achieve. It is more complex because the traditional "zero energy state" lockout situation may not be achievable (or desirable), and it is easier because the technology offers more solutions to control hazardous energy release through new devices and circuit designs. In my opinion, the greatest offering is the information on the use of "alternative methods" to control hazardous energy. Based on the results of risk assessment, workers are afforded more protection and flexibility in performing necessary tasks on machines, equipment and processes.
How will the revised Z244.1 standard impact business and industry? How will safety improve?
Grund: Companies that are interested in moving beyond mere compliance will be able to use the standard to enhance their current practices. In addition, multinational companies can use the standard offshore as an effective guide for their international operations, particularly when local regulation is absent or weak. Only time will tell if safety (injury reduction) has improved. We do know that it is highly unlikely that the 15-year-old OSHA standard will be revised, making all future Z244 revisions that much more critical in advancing the state of the art.
Fryman: Any impact should be a positive one, but it will be slow in coming. Again, the information on alternative methods of hazardous energy control offers the greatest improvement in safety, but they will be slow in acceptance and use.
Have you seen any new areas in which the revised Z244.1 standard is applied?
Grund: Some companies are moving ahead to examine practices in which traditional lockout is not possible or in which operational requirements dictate alternative methods. The use of risk assessment methods will benefit safety in these situations.
The Z244 standard is also used in civil litigation regarding hazardous energy release incidents, and it will be valuable in the defense of certain OSHA citations before administrative law judges.
Fryman: Not specifically, however, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) used the standard as the "seed document" for developing their new CSA Z460:2005 standard on the "Control of Hazardous Energy, Lockout and Other Methods." This is the first introduction of such a standard in Canada at the national level, as each separate province guided previous lockout provisions.
OSHA honored your request to include a link to the Z244 Committee on its "Safety and Health Topics: Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout)" website. How has the committee benefited since the link was posted? What kind of response or results have you received?
Grund: Anything that expands the knowledge base by increasing access will prove valuable in the future. We continue to receive periodic input from safety practitioners, and we have gained important information from the two lockout/tagout teleconferences that the ASSE sponsored.
Fryman: I would not suggest that the committee has benefited, but rather that industry has benefited. The new standard provides appropriate guidance to those who want to control hazardous energy and to improve safety in the workplace while still complying with OSHA regulations.
How do you ensure that state and federal governments recognize the revised Z244.1 standard? Have you encountered any challenges in doing this?
Grund: I cannot be sure that this recognition will occur, but it is very likely that the agencies are aware of this standard. The ASSE communicated with California (Cal)-OSHA about the Z244.1 standard so that they would be aware during any state standards development activity. Recognition will be an evolutionary occurrence.
Fryman: Obviously, this is something that we cannot ensure, but we have made progress through the OSHA interpretation letter. State programs are obligated to be as rigorous as the federal program.
Do you believe that the revised Z244.1 standard should be recognized in other areas?
Grund: Its recognition will depend on what takes place during the next several years in the regulatory arena. The standard's universal scope gives it a wide interest, and it is being referenced in professional articles, presentations and legal cases. The next revision during 2007-2008 will allow the committee to take it to the next level with far greater recognition and acceptance.
Fryman: I believe that the standard is valid in most industry and commercial segments. The standard addresses the control of hazardous energy, and it is not limited to whom that applies like the OSHA regulations are. We use what I call the "triplet"—Machine, Equipment and Process—to identify what requires hazardous energy control. It is intended to include the widest possible "universe" to which the standard applies.
How has the revised Z244.1 standard affected each of your respective industries?
Grund: In basic manufacturing there has always been a need to address situations where "zero-energy" thinking is not always feasible. Troubleshooting, complex advanced computer-controlled process activity and inherent hazards (molten materials) require methods that embrace the fundamental principles of hazardous energy control but achieve them through alternative methods. The annexes reveal a few of the many approaches that have been in use on a regular basis. The addition of "risk assessment" methodology is intended to add legitimacy to alternatives while reducing risk to acceptable levels.
Fryman: The robotics industry has needed the concept of alternatives to the "traditional" zero-energy-state lockout to be quantified for some time. Robot technology requires that energy be available to accomplish many tasks on the robot system. By recognizing effective alternative procedures contained in our R15.06 safety standard, the Z244.1 standard, particularly Annex J, has helped us to understand that zero-energy-state lockout is not feasible or achievable for many routine and anticipated tasks. Now there are more widely recognized alternatives for providing our workers with effective safety practices.
In which new developments, projects or research is the Z244 Committee currently involved?
Grund: The committee is gathering information during its downtime to be used as ideas for future deliberation. One project that we will attempt to launch in the near term is to have safety graduate students research lockout/tagout injury incidents that occurred between 1995 and 2005. This data will be of great value since most statistical information is quite dated.
Fryman: The group is also on a well-deserved rest after successfully guiding the standard to publication. We look forward to the next review cycle and to the opportunity to refine and to further the guidance the standard provides.

Australian director Philippe Mora to present screening at Arc Cinema - Sat 30 November
GENERAL: Australian director Philippe Mora will introduce his new film 'Absolutely Modern' in an Australian premiere: Arc Cinema, National Film and Sound Archive, Sat 30 Nov 2pm.
Although mostly based overseas for the last 30 years, Philippe Mora has continued to make films that, while hard to see in his home country, are just as idiosyncratic as his 1970s and '80s cult movies 'Mad Dog Morgan', 'The Howling II' and 'The Return of Captain Invincible'.
His more recent features – such as 2009's 'The Gertrude Stein Mystery' or 'Some Like It Art' or 2011's 'German Sons' – mark a return to the archive-sourced docudrama-making of his early films, such as 1974's 'Swastika' and 1975's 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime?'
Mora has long cherished the plan of making a film that tells some of the stories from his own Melbourne childhood. As the son of art dealer George and artist Mirka Mora, he lived among the extended 'Heide' community of artists that spread out around the Moras' friends, the arts patrons John and Sunday Reed.
Philippe Mora has finally realised this project in a new 'documentary', 'Absolutely Modern', which premieres in Australia at Arc Cinema on Saturday 30 November at 2pm.
'Absolutely Modern' takes the form of a 'mockumentary', a film that satirises the conventions of documentary cinema.
At first the film seems like a TV documentary on the history of Australian modernist painting, with a special focus on the personal lives and creativity of the Heide artistic community, including famous names like Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, John Perceval, Charles Blackman, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester.
Philippe Mora himself plays the 'documentary's' narrator, the establishment English art critic, Lord Steinway.
But after opening scenes that seem like a conventional arts documentary, 'Absolutely Modern' takes (as Mora says) "… a modernist twist itself", when Mora's Lord Steinway character has an unexpected on-screen reunion with his long-lost, soccer-playing son Jack (played by European soccer star Mario Melchiot).
From there, 'Absolutely Modern' becomes a delightful satire on how art critics view the story of modern Australian art. It's also, for Mora, a fond, personal tribute to the creative milieu that made him, and the many friends of his childhood.
"Mora tells perhaps one of his most personal stories to date as he examines art and modernism. Mora, who casual fans would most likely know from such films as 'Communion' and cult classic 'The Return of Captain Invincible', unsurprisingly does not tell the tale with any regard for the norms of convention..." (Screen International)
The screening is presented in collaboration with the Jewish Film Foundation of Australia.

Connect with Autism News, Resources, & Supports in Nashua, New Hampshire
Every parents dream is for their child to go to birthday parties with kids from their class right? My daughter got an invitation and I feel very different about it. What if the parents are not prepared to know our situations. What if we have a tantrum and ruin the party. I don't want to go but is that wrong? If it were another child that had autism I wouldn't think twice. I feel like I'm being prejudice. I would love some feedback good or bad.
Views: 113
I understand your fears. We were invited to a child's bday party last year and went. My guy had such a meltdown because he wanted too keep the bag the toy came in. This year, I declined to go to the party because I was embarrassed. I totally get it. I am not sure what the right answer is though. Sorry!
It's not fair that we have to be so full of anxiety about what is supposed to be a fun event for our child! I agonize over every party invite as well because I'm torn between wanting my son to WANT to go and wanting him to be treated like a regular kid. I have gone to several parties with Jacob and have always forewarned the parents his sensory and social issues, but not gone into great detail. It usually is painful to watch the differences in the other kids' interactions, but sweet when you see the kindness of the other kids toward him. It's definitely a big effort and struggle, but the end result for me has been a mixture of normalcy and emotional upheaval. If you get a good vibe from the parents, I would try it and just try to gauge your daughter's mood/behavior and be prepared to scoot out early if needed!
Good luck. I hope she does great!
Did Sarah go to the party yet? So far only Josh has been invited to parties and i had Shawn go to one also since they were both invited from the ABA room. (Jesse's house a few years ago) Josh went to a party and although he acted differently than the other kids there are so many "normal" kids that act strangely or do silly things. Parties are a little stressful and exciting and so the kids don't seem to always be acting very normally anyway! I think you did the right thing by e-mailing the parents to advise them of some possible situations (esp since she has a number of dietary restrictions) and it is great that the parent is in Spec Ed! There seem to be more and more people that understand "our" children! :)
I had a wonderful experience. The party was at Jump On In so it was so loud that the communication gap wasn't a problem. It was amazing to see how well Sarah did with the other kids. The kids new how to get her attention and used hand gestures to have her follow. She went up and down the blow up toys with them and even waited for a peer to go down and they shared fun and laughter. I felt my eyes fill up more than once. She fit in with the other kids and made my whole year. I wasn't sure how the cake part would go but it was fine. She ate with all the kids. After she was done the birthday girl was going to open her presents. That is when I took out her iTouch. She would glance to see what was going on but the iTouch helped her sit through this part of the party. Her mother had a nice tradition that the person that gave the present would sit with her while she opened and then take a picture of the two of them. I was BLOWN AWAY that Sarah did it with very minimal prompts. I'm so glad I took the chance. It also was a nice insight how hard the staff at school work with Sarah for her to socialize with her classmates.
You gave me the chills all over. I am so glad it went well! I miss her!
That is SO great, Michelle!! Sounds like she is doing really well!!

PCs Are So Yesterday
Diane is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The significant slump in the sale of personal computers is seriously chipping away at Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC) profits.
The world's leading maker of semiconductors, which grew by leaps and bounds by supplying chips to computer makers around the globe, now has a chip on its shoulder: personal computer chips. The Santa Clara-based company recently reported fourth quarter earnings of $2.5 billion, or 48 cents a share. That was 27% lower than Intel saw in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue slipped 3% to $13.5 billion from $13.9 billion.
Weighing on the chip maker was the slumping personal computer (PC) market, which declined some 3.5% last year. Intel earns 64% of its revenue from PC chips.
But, PCs are so yesterday.
Smartphones and tablets are currently where it's at, and where Intel isn't, at the moment.
However, it is exactly where ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH) is at. The U.K. company designs computer chips and licenses its designs to chipmaker and other companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). ARM Holdings has enjoyed a nice long and steady run of late, buoyed by the explosive growth at Apple thanks to Apple's hugely successful iPhones and Ipads.
But before you rush into ARM Holdings, cautionary red flags have been waving for awhile over concerns of slowing iPhone sales. Reports that Apple has cut component orders for its latest iPhone5 amid sluggish sales have deeply cut into Apple's share price. The tech behemoth's shares have tumbled 29% from their high of $705 and change, which was hit on Sept. 19, 2012, to around $500. While a bevy of analyts now call shares of Apple cheap, citing its cache of cash, with $121 billion at the end of 2012 and a debt free balance sheet, at $500 a share, not too many can afford to own Apple.
A lackluster iPhone5 consumer response has also been pulling ARM Holdings lower. Shares recently hit a lofty $41.85 a share, a level not seen since March 2000. Yet bearish put option activity for near month contracts has far surpassed bullish call activity over the last several weeks, suggesting a near term pullback is looming. Also weighing on ARM Holdings is Intel's aggressive foray into the booming smartphone market.
Intel just showed off its new Atom processor platform at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronic Show. The new platform is directly aimed at the fast growing market for low-end smartphones in developing countries. This not only allows Intel to get its feet wet in this hot market, but by targeting the low end it also gives Intel a presence in a market with the greatest potential for growth in the mobile sector over the next few years. Consumers in developing countries are clamoring for a low-cost, full feature smartphone that can deliver first-rate performance.
Total smartphones shipments for all of 2012 are estimated to have totaled between 600 million and 700 million units, and they are still deemed a "pricey" item in most of the world. With the global population approaching 7 billion, should Intel have a hand in turning out a first-class and dependable smarthphone at an affordable price, it stands to be handsomely rewarded by a cache of cost conscious consumers. Owning Intel is a less expensive way to bet on the low cost smartphone segment than owning Apple, which is also mulling a low cost smartphone.
Moving into the lower-end segment is a big change for Intel, which has always prided itself on supplying the most advanced chips. But Intel appears to have recognized that if it doesn't change direction, it may just end up where it's heading, which at present isn't the best place to be.

The Foundation kicked off what will be a year-long celebration of its 25th anniversary at the annual Bridges Gala, held at the new Marriott Marquis Washington, DC on June 11. Hosted by Dick Marriott and co-chairs Tom Baltimore and Neal Wilson, the evening was attended by 1,000 business and community leaders and raised $1.5M in support of Bridges youth.
Mr. Richard Marriott, Chairman of the Board of Host Hotels and Resorts and President and Trustee of the Marriott Foundation, and Mr. Mike Corbo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric US Elevator/Escalator Division, headlined a lively lunch discussion on preparing young people with disabilities for the workforce. The symposium addressed an audience of 600 business leaders at the annual USBLN® conference in Los Angeles today.
Years ago, when our company was first beginning to add hotels to our business, my dad would scout locations for new hotels by watching the traffic across the bridges of Washington. He would say they would never move the bridges. He knew that a hotel built near a bridge or a Hot Shoppe near a bridge would always have steady traffic, and the opportunity for new customers every day.
How appropriate then, that so many years later, the Marriott Foundation for People With Disabilities would launch a program that would provide thousands of young people with mental, physical and cognitive challenges the training and opportunities they need to find solid employment and build their careers – and that it would be named "Bridges From School to Work."

How many times have you read about a university or well-known institution receiving a major gift for a new library or hospital wing?
How nice it would be if community-based organizations were so blessed. Working in shoebox offices on shoestring budgets, we bargain with God. We don't need ten million — a million, or half that, will do.
My mother, Angelina, has a saying: Lajan al kay lajan — money goes to money. Although she didn't receive an education in Haiti— her parents sent the boys to school while she and her sister learned to cook and sew — how right she is. It's not that I wish big organizations would receive less; especially my alma maters Miami-Dade College and Florida International University. It's just that grassroots, community-based agencies must survive on so little, no matter how worthy the mission or how vital the services.
For us, my mother has another saying: Lespwa fe viv. Hope encourages us to live.
As FANM celebrates its 21-year anniversary, it is hope that moves us forward in the face of deep budget and funding cuts; hope that grounds and gives us the courage to fight for the less fortunate, the disenfranchised and voiceless. Every year, visitors come to us from around the world. After spending a day or two at the center, they're awed by its ability to respond to such a kaleidoscope of needs, one as urgent as the next. When they hear our budget, their jaws drop through the floor.
Since transitioning to a community-based organization in 2000, FANM has provided thousands of families with counseling, domestic violence intervention and prevention, access to health and after-school programs, adult literacy and computer training, Immigration advocacy and citizenship services, and community economic development.
Nanie (not her real name) summarizes the essence of FANM's work: "I have two sons in college right now. I was involved with DCF. Without FANM, they would be in jail by now. I would probably be dead already. FANM saved my family, my life."
We outsource some programs due to lack of space, and have many more people on our waiting list. We dream of a building to house these programs, and a little space for inner-city children to play safely when they've finished their homework. We dream of being financially sustainable.
As grant funds dry up, grassroots organizations have to be that much more creative in finding alternative sources of revenue.
Our chances to receive a major gift for a building may be slim, but we keep our dreams alive. After all, it is the under-served communities that depend on our work and that of other grass-roots agencies. After all, Lespwa fe viv! Hope encourages us to live!Take a look at our activities coming up in 2013 to that end:
• On March 7 we will have our Dancing Under the Stars Gala fundraiser at 7 p.m. at the Little Haiti Cultural Center , 260 N.E. 59 Terrace, Miami. Tickets can be purchased at FANM and online: www.fanm.org.
• On March 8 (my birthday) we will have a birthday benefit for the Florida Immigrant Coalition and FANM. Please consider donating $50 to FANM. Proceeds will fund the campaign for comprehensive immigration reform that trailblazes a path to citizenship.
• On March 23,there will be a seminar on breast, cervical and colorectal cancer and HIV/AIDS prevention at the Center for Haitian Studies, 8260 N.E. 2nd Avenue. Haitian women have a high mortality rate from breast cancer because of late detection and lack of access to care. Forty percent of women in Little Haiti have never had a mammogram. The all-day conference and health fair will be hosted by FANM and partner organizations: The University of Miami South Florida Center For Reducing Cancer Disparities, Green Family Foundation, Haitian American Nurses' Association, Health Foundation of South Florida, Susan G, Komen, Center for Haitian Studies, and the Children's Trust. Scholarships are available courtesy of Health Foundation of South Florida, Green Family Foundation and the Children's Trust.
Marleine Bastien is exeutive director of Haitian Women of Miami, Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami, Inc.

Meet the man who quit money
In the first year of the 21st century, a man standing by a highway in the middle of America pulled from his pocket his life savings – $30 – laid it inside a phone booth, and walked away. He was 39 years old, came from a good family, and had been to college. He was not mentally ill, nor an addict. His decision appears to have been an act of free will by a competent adult.
In the 12 years since, as the Dow Jones skyrocketed to its all-time high, Daniel Suelo has not earned, received, or spent a single dollar. In an era when anyone who could sign his name qualified for a mortgage, Suelo did not apply for loans or write IOUs. He didn't even barter. As the public debt soared, he did not pay taxes, or accept any form of government handout.
Instead he set up house in caves in the Utah canyonlands, where he forages mulberries and wild onions, scavenges road-kill raccoons and squirrels, pulls expired groceries from dumpsters, and is often fed by friends and strangers. "My philosophy is to use only what is freely given or discarded & what is already present & already running," he writes. While the rest of us grapple with tax deductions and mortgages, Suelo no longer holds so much as an ID card.
Yet the man who sleeps under bridges and prospects in trash cans is not a typical hobo. He does not panhandle, and he often works – declining payment for his efforts. While he is driven by spiritual beliefs and longings, he is not associated with any church. And although he lives in a cave, he is not a hermit: He is relentlessly social, remains close with friends and family, and engages in discussions with strangers via the website he maintains from the public library. He has crisscrossed the West by bicycle, hopped freight trains, hitched through nearly every state in the union, hauled nets on a Bering Sea trawler and spear-fished salmon in Alaska streams.
"I know it is possible to live with zero money," Suelo declares.

Habana wins SA gong
Nov 01,2012
Written by: SARugby.com Editor
Springbok winger Bryan Habana was on Thursday named South African Rugby Player of the Year for the third time.
Western Province picked up a brace of awards as their Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup success was recognised at a glittering ceremony at the Cape Town International Airport.
The Sharks also scored off the field, with three awards heading to Durban.
Habana (29) was rewarded for his striking form as he helped the Stormers to the top of the log in Super Rugby and the semi-finals of that competition, while extending his record try-scoring streak with the Springboks to 47. Habana was in superb form in the Green and Gold this year and scored seven tries in 2012, including a hat-trick against Australia at Loftus Versfeld in the Rugby Championship, resulting in him being the top try scorer in the inaugural season of the competition.
He also took the field in the Currie Cup final in Western Province colours and won the coveted trophy with this team for the first time, after tasting glory with the Blue Bulls in 2009.
Unfortunately a knee injury sustained in the match rules him out of the tour to Ireland, Scotland and England.
The speed merchant's third award comes after similar accolades in 2005 and 2007. He becomes only the second player to win the title more than two times, following in the footsteps of Naas Botha, who won it four times.
Habana's award was the finale of a star-studded night during which 16 awards were won for rugby excellence across all age groups and competitions in 16 categories.
Western Province had three more winners on the night with Demetri Catrakilis and Deon Fourie being named Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup Players of the Season and Eben Etzebeth walking away with the Young Player of the Year award.
The Sharks also scored a treble on the night with their Currie Cup team being named Team of the Year and their head coach John Plumtree, walking away with the Coach of the Year award. Sharks captain Keegan Daniel was voted as Super Rugby Player of the Year by the six franchise coaches.
Junior Bok midfielder Jan Serfontein, who was named Player of the Tournament after the IRB's Junior World Cup in South Africa in June, was almost a shoe-in for the SA Under-20 Player of the Year award, while Griffons utility back Hansie Graaff grabbed the spoils of Currie Cup First Division Player of the Year.
Cecil Afrika got the award for Springbok Sevens Player of the Year for the second year running in a new voting process which saw media and the public each contributing 50% of the vote.
The SARPA Players' Player of the Year Award went to Springbok winger JP Pietersen, while Bryan Habana's try against New Zealand in Dunedin was voted Supersport Try of the Year by the channel's viewers.

House OKs ban on cellphones while drivingBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | February 15,2014MONTPELIER The Vermont House gave final approval Friday to a bill that bans the handheld use of cellphones and other electronic devices while driving.
The legislation, H.62, was passed on a voice vote after lawmakers approved two amendments on the floor. Final passage came one day after the chamber advanced the bill on a voice vote, following a bit of lively debate and a plea for passage by Rep. Mark Huntley, D-Cavendish, who said his son died in a crash because he was searching for music on his smartphone.
Under the bill, using a phone or other device while behind the wheel would be allowed only with a hands-free feature. Twelve states already have such laws.
A first offense would carry a fine of $100 to $200. All subsequent offenses within a two-year period would carry a fine of $250 to $500, the bill states.
Also, a first offense would put two points on a drivers record, while subsequent offenses would result in five points. At 10 points a drivers license is suspended.
Rep. Teo Zagar, D-Barnard, introduced an amendment allowing the use of hands to activate hands-free mode, as long as the phone or device is in a cradle or otherwise secured. Without the amendment, the bill would have required hands-free mode to be activated by voice only. Many people dont own voice-activated phones.
In many ways this is safer and requires less attention than changing a CD, Zagar said.
The House Judiciary Committee found it to be a friendly amendment and it passed the full House on a voice vote.
Rep. Warren Van Wyck, a Ferrisburgh Democrat, introduced an amendment carving out a special exemption for farm workers. The measure was intended primarily for Addison and Franklin counties, he said, where there is still a lot of farming.
The exemption will allow those operating registered or unregistered farm trucks to use their phones to communicate with each other. Van Wyck said farmers once used citizen-band radios to dispatch vehicles but now typically use phones.
Rep. Thomas Koch, of Barre, who reported the bill for the Judiciary Committee, said the panel found it to be a friendly amendment because it is narrowly construed and benefits a segment of the economy we value. It was also approved by the full body on a voice vote.
A third amendment from Rep. Robert Bouchard, a Colchester Republican, was withdrawn after committee members opposed it. It would have eliminated the five-point penalty for a second or subsequent offense.
I think the point system is too severe for handheld, he said.
But most committee members said they wanted to maintain the same penalties already assigned to texting while driving.
The measure now moves to the Senate, where it appears to have enough support to pass.
However, Gov. Peter Shumlin again reiterated his opposition, saying it is difficult to legislate common sense. The governor stopped short of saying he would veto the bill, though.

Most of you know that alcoholic drinks contain loads of calories and alcohol promotes fat storage in the body. If you didn't, now you do. But we still enjoy a few drinks. Like food, not all drinks are equally bad. There are some lower calorie options. So watch what you drink at the bar, and it could be less damaging to your waistline. Below is a list of alcoholic drinks that are low calorie and low sugar as well. They are all around 100 calories:
1. Champagne, Red Wine: Per glass, both these drinks contain less than a 100 calories.
2. Diet Lime Vodka: A 30 ml shot of vodka, with diet lime soda and a splash of lime.
3. Gin & Tonic: This classic drink is also low on calories. Better yet, if its diet Tonic.
4. Diet Cuba Libre: A 30 ml shot of rum, a splash of lime and top off with diet cola.
Some popular drinks that are loaded with calories are: Long Island Iced Tea, White Russian, Pina Colada. Basically, all large servings of alcohol mixed with sugary juices, cream, liqueurs, etc can bust your weight loss plans.
So, next time you order that drink at the bar, order smart. Watch out for our next part- strategy on low calorie bar drinking!Author Information - this article is written by a wellness coach @ FitHo

The Republican-backed legislation effectively outlaws abortion in Mississippi "by imposing medically unjustified requirements on physicians who perform abortions." The judge who blocked the law wrote that "though the debate over abortion continues, there exists legal precedent the court must follow." On July 11, the court will revisit the law, which would have gone into effect on Sunday. If the clinic is shut down, Mississippi would be the only state in the country without an abortion provider.

Very, very close between Blade Runner, Raiders, and Blue Velvet, but I think I'll have to just barely give the nod to Blue Velvet. David Lynch is a creepy genius and his movies are always so bizarre, they're memorable.

I voted Blade Runner - just barely.
He gave her his town house and his racing horses. Each meal she ate was a dozen courses. She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes. She sat around and counted them all a million times.

I dislike much of 80s mainstream cinema with as much passion as I dislike 80s mainstream music. Yet ironically, one of my all time favorite films came out in the 80s: Blade Runner.
Other 80s films I quite like are Hannah and Her Sisters, Moonstruck, A Fish Called Wanda, Aliens, The Terminator, Amadeus, Witness...
I just noticed Stranger Than Paradise is on the list. Great film as well.
As far as world cinema... the French film Diva is one of my all-time favorites... Wim Wenders' masterpiece Wings of Desire surely has to rank near the top; Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring has an awesome epic sweep... Rohmer's films in the 80s were of his usual high quality. Wong Kar-wai made his debut with the electric As Tears Go By (my favorites by him though are Ashes of Time and Chungking Express, both from '94). In China, the so-called Fifth Generation filmmakers began in the 1980s with great films like The Horse Thief, Ju Dou, Yellow Earth, and Red Sorghum. Iranian cinema became a force to be reckoned with, including Abbas Kiarostami's films Homework and Where Is My Friend's House? Almodovar arrived in the 1980s with an insane energy (e.g. Women On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) that I miss from his later period. Another favorite is Alain Tanner's In the White City, starring Bruno Ganz and set in Portugal.
I'm not all that knowledgeable about Japanese anime, but some of my favorite Studio Ghibli films came out in the 1980s, including Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, and My Neighbor Totoro.

love many of these - The Thing (John Carpentr's peak), Zelig (amazing cinematic achievement), The Fly (wonderful remake, Jeff Goldblum really breaks out as a major talent) - but I think in retrospect it would have to be Crimes and Misdemeanors from this list.

Two top 10 teams were upset this week, and to the surprise of few, they were Southern Cal and Georgia.
A Columbus woman is on trial for the death of her infant daughter.
Jessica Shah was arrested in 2011 shortly after her teenage daughter made the gruesome discovery.
It was at a house on 3rd Avenue in Columbus investigators say 7-month-old Alejandra Molina suffered until she died; then, her dead body sat so long, bugs began to feed on her corpse.
Pictures of baby "Ale's" lifeless body were displayed on monitors. You could see marks on her skin- the prosecution said are bite marks.
Vincent Sampson, an investigator that worked the case, read transcripts from a previous hearing were Shah said the day the baby was found. She instructed her 14-year-old daughter to check on the baby as she was leaving the home to go to the bank.
When she returned, her 14-year-old was still asleep and had not checked on the baby.
Sampson testified Shah sent the teen to check on the baby. When she went in the baby's room, she found her dead under a blanket.
A child death specialist took the stand Wednesday afternoon; she said there were several alarming conditions inside the home.
She described the Alejandra's crib as "chaotic" due to a slew of toys all over the bed. She also said a teenager caring for a premature baby is not a good idea.
Investigators mentioned the home was very hot due to a broken air conditioner.

SAN FRANCISCO (WKZO) -- It's baaaack. Postseason Detroit Tigers baseball is back after a brief 5-day hiatus forced us to consider other things going on in our lives during the weekday evenings. There is no need to worry about that petty every average day life stuff anymore…it's time for the World Series and for the first time in what seems like longer than it is the Tigers are back in it.
The newly formed and overpowering Justin Verlander takes the hill tonight as the Tigers look to open a 1-0 lead on the San Francisco Giants. This postseason he has been a well documented machine propelling the Tigers into an ALDS victory over the Oakland Athletics and a dominating game 3 victory over the New York Yankees. In the past 5 days however there are some "off the field" conversations that have been had about Verlander's personal life that have to have some in Michigan wondering…is the Upton relationship going to cause him problems in game 1?
Verlander is or isn't dating supermodel Kate Upton. He refuses to give specifics on the relationship and before game 1 has refused to neither confirm nor deny the relationship. His Grandfather on the other hand has confirmed: "I heard he has been on dates with a Sports Illustrated girl" and continuing with "I saw a photo. She's beautiful. They make a good-looking pair because he's a good looking man, too." This all according to gossip website Celebuzz which placed a call to Verlander's grandfather and started asking questions.
WKZO morning show host Lori Moore began her discussion with 6th Congressional District U.S. Congressman Fred Upton asking him to "give her a scoop" about Justin Verlander and Kate Upon. His response is here where Upton seems to shy away from the question but potentially answer it.
Supermodels aside it's time for the World Series. Players like Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder are paid the big bucks for one simple reason…win the World Series for the city of Detroit, for Jim Leyland and for Tigers owner Mike Illitch.
Illitch took the Red Wings from nothing to greatness within 15 years of purchasing the organization. The Red Wings are now the shining star over the past 20 years of the National Hockey League. Illitch's one remaining conquest is to bring a World Series to the city of Detroit for the first time since 1984. Illitch purchased the Tigers in 1992 or roughly 20 years ago…that puts the organization 5 years behind the Red Wings in the popular amount of time it takes to win a Championship under Illitch.
Verlander's starting game 1. Miguel Cabrera is the Triple-Crown and potential MVP winner and Prince Fielder is in year 1 of a 214-million-dollar deal. If there was ever a time for the Tigers to get it done and win this thing…it's right now.
Tigers-Giants with coverage beginning at 7:40 on AM 590 WKZO.

Tax filing deadline extended to April 17
April 15 is a Sunday and April 16 is a holiday in the District of Columbia, which means taxpayers will have 2 more days to prepare their returns.
This post is by The Associated Press.
Does the mere mention of April 15 send chills up your spine? Not to worry -- the Internal Revenue Service has postponed this year's deadline for filing federal income taxes until two days later.
The IRS said Wednesday that taxpayers will have until April 17 to file their 2011 returns, thanks to two quirks of the calendar.
April 15 falls on a Sunday this year, and the following day is Emancipation Day, which is observed in the District of Columbia. By federal law, District of Columbia holidays affect tax deadlines the same way federal holidays do, giving taxpayers an extra day.
People requesting an extension will have until Oct. 15 to file.
The IRS says it is expecting more than 144 million individual tax returns to be filed this year.
More from MSN Money:

In every business, having business relationship is important because not only it provides wider and bigger business opportunities both for the business owners, but also for the business partners. In certain condition, the business relationship is also covering the business and clients relationship which is why some businesses are using the service from bulk mobile text service to import contacts for business marketing purposes. Text message marketing is proper term for this kind of business and it offers contacts for any businesses that are in need for marketing their products through mobile text service. The mobile text service is considered to be cheap and able to reach out any type of clients that they want.
Sometimes, some business owners think that it is not the proper business tip to market certain products through mobile text service because they are limited by the amount of text limitation and different text rates from different telecommunication providers. Actually, many telecommunication providers are having special business relationship with those who are in need to import contact to market their products although the aforementioned telecommunication providers are only giving the mobile phone numbers to their clients, not the entire details about the clients.
There are business owners who are importing the contact from 3rd party where they are in importing contact business and provide list of mobile numbers with different type of clients. Text Marketing is classifying their clients' mobile phone numbers based on the location and if you notice, this kind of service is almost similar with the email marketing list and what differentiates them is the marketing media. One mobile contact can be used for several marketing or promotional purposes and it pretty much depends on the businesses that are paying for importing the contacts. Perhaps you already experienced by receiving marketing mobile text message which offers you medical equipments or supplies and other needs.

Taittinger Brut La Francaise
"The deliciously delicate Taittinger NV Brut La Francaise is strikingly buoyant and dominated by subtle scents of yeast-tinged flowers and foliage – honeysuckle and mint immediately come to mind – that allude to its roughly one-quarter Meunier component, with a luscious matrix of lime-drenched honeydew melon and apple well-supported by discreet residual sugar leading to a sustained and refreshing finish. Hints of toasted almond and vanilla-tinged cookie dough lend a faintly confectionary cast that manages to harmonize with the dominant fruitiness and florality, while piquancy of apple and lime pit serve for counterpoint."

Newest edition to my ever growing art collection. A piece done by Marshall Ward from his new series "Life". It was donated to a benefit my sister held for the Canadian Mental Health Society in honour of my dad. I have yet to meet Ward but I'm ever thankful for his kindness to my dad. I fell in love with his piece and managed to buy loads of tickets for the raffle and put all of them in for this.

|résumé :
|Serotonin (5-HT) regulates different cardiac functions by acting directly on cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Today, it is widely accepted that activated platelets represent a major source of 5-HT. In contrast, a supposed production of 5-HT in the heart is still controversial. To address this issue, we investigated the expression and localization of 5-HT synthesizing enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and L-aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) in the heart. We also evaluated their involvement in cardiac production of 5-HT. TPH1 was weakly expressed in mouse and rat heart and appeared restricted to mast cells. Degranulation of mast cells by compound 48/80 did not modify 5-HT cardiac content in mice. Western blots and immunolabelling experiments showed an abundant expression of AADC in the mouse and rat heart and its co-localization with endothelial cells. Incubation of cardiac homogenate with the AADC substrate (5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan) 5-HTP or intraperitoneal injection of 5-HTP in mice significantly increased cardiac 5-HT. These effects were prevented by the AADC inhibitor benserazide. Finally, 5-HTP administration in mice increased phosphorylation of aortic nitric oxide synthase 3 at Ser (1177) as well as accumulation of nitrates in cardiac tissue. This suggests that the increase in 5-HT production by AADC leads to activation of endothelial and cardiac nitric oxide pathway. These data show that endothelial AADC plays an important role in cardiac synthesis of 5-HT and possibly in 5-HT-dependent regulation of nitric oxide generation.
