Together, the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor partners have endeavoured to align the local interest in quality of life with the national interest in trade competitiveness during increasingly-challenging economic times.
The unprecedented close collaboration among stakeholders has resulted in an overall package of road and rail improvements of approximately $360 million, cost-shared among the various partners.
The partners in this Program will contribute a total of $307 million for the construction of nine road-rail projects. Additionally, the railways will invest in rail infrastructure to increase capacity along the corridor to meet the needs of shippers and improve supply chain efficiencies.

The luxury arm of the Volkswagen family, Audi, has already shown us a teaser of the all new sleek shaped Audi A5 Sportback , the future four door coupe has been spotted undisguised during a recent photo session in Southern California.
The upcoming A5 Sportback is scheduled to make its autoshow debut at Frankfurt and will go on sale later this year offering greener options like an alternatively fueled 2.0 Liter TDI power plant starting at only €36,050. Expect the Audi A5 Sportback to hit U.S. shores sometime soon after.
If Mercedes Benz though they were on to something by branding the four door coupe, it looks like Audi is following suit with the fastback styling of their sport back model, if it weren't for the second set of door handles, it would be hard to tell that this sports model is more than a coupe.

This is a lovely,historic inn 3 miles from VIR. The inn is beautifully restored and is very comfortable. Lynn, the innkeeper was great--very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this inn, and will visit again.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for your kind compliments! Our VIR guests enjoy Woodside because we're not only close to the track, but we also understand the needs of race teams. Sometimes, they don't have time for a sit down breakfast, so I'm happy to fix food earlier to take to the track.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."
"I ordered the sample first, so I already knew what to expect, but these cards are beautiful and such good quality! I am very pleased with my purchase! If I weren't getting invitations through my venue, I would definitely be heading back here!"
"I love these save the date cards. The design is simple but gorgeous! Fits perfectly with our beach themed wedding. I was able to customize the color of the font, But I wish the color of the star could be changed as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this product!!"
"Our Save the Dates were perfect! We chose the pearlized paper and it just gave it a nice shine. It really made the beachy background come to life. We chose to write our info with website and more details in the back which worked out perfect as we are having a destination wedding. Text, ink, everything looked professional and very well done. Guests were very pleased and loved our Saved the Dates."
"We ordered these without requesting a sample and got the purple version-we were very impressed with the paper quality. the design is beautiful and we cant wait to send them to our quests!"

|Jake Delhomme's return to health can go a long way in determining Carolina's fate in '08.
NFC South preview:
Bucs: Offense aging | Falcons: Rebuilding project | Panthers: Extreme makeover | Saints: Emphasis on defense
The Panthers have had just one winning season in four years since their 2003 run to the Super Bowl, and they're undergoing an extreme makeover this year as coach John Fox tries to recreate past success.
Fox has remade the entire offensive line -- three new starters, two starters in new positions. He has gone from a unit that was based on quickness to one based on size and power. The Panthers want a physical team built around defense and the running game.
2008 forecast
Vic Carucci: It's pretty simple: If Jake Delhomme is fully recovered from the elbow injury that shortened his 2007 season, the Panthers contend; if not, they don't. Prediction: 9-7
Thomas George: Panthers remain a force on occasion but not consistently. Prediction: 8-8
Pat Kirwan: Jake Delhomme looked sharp this summer and should return to where he left off last season when he threw 8 touchdowns to 1 interception before getting hurt. The Panthers could make the playoffs, but New Orleans and Tampa won't make it easy. Prediction: 9-7
Gil Brandt: Think they missed Jake Delhomme last year? Delhomme had 8 TDs in two-and-a-half games; the backups had 11 TDs the rest of the season. Still, the key in 2008 will be whether or not DE Julius Peppers can return to form. Prediction: 8-8
» Panthers' 2008 schedule
Fantasy file
Riser: DeAngelo Williams
Williams is an elusive running back with good hands, and he has a chance to start for coach John Fox. He should post career bests in scrimmage yards this season.
Faller: Steve Smith
Smith will miss the first two weeks of the season due to a team-imposed suspension. That time lost will make it close to impossible for him to reach his statistical potential.
» Fantasy draft kit | More fantasy
There's a common thread that pointed Fox to the change.
In 2003, Carolina quarterbacks attempted 459 passes; in 2005, the Panthers' QBs threw 448. Both of those seasons ended with 11-5 records, the first ended in the Super Bowl, the second in the NFC title game.
In 2004, 2006 and 2007, the Panthers finished with records of 7-9, 8-8 and 7-9, respectively, and their quarterbacks attempted more than 500 passes in each season.
That's a lot of throws for a team trying to find reliable receivers, and more than Fox wants. Further, Steve Smith, the go-to guy, is suspended for the first two games this year for slugging cornerback Ken Lucas in camp. Besides Smith, the Panthers have offseason acquisitions D.J. Hackett and Muhsin Muhammad, neither of whom is considered an elite wideout.
Last year was particularly trying for the Panthers. Quarterback Jake Delhomme was off to a good start before suffering a season-ending injury after just three games and the Panthers wound up starting four quarterbacks. They think Delhomme is healthy enough now that they didn't even try to solidify the position in the offseason.
To power the running game, Carolina replaced last year's leading rusher, DeShaun Foster, who was prone to fumbling, with first-round draft choice Jonathan Stewart. Stewart is a powerful 235-pounder who will split carries with DeAngelo Williams and has a good chance to supplant him as the feature back.
Defensively, the big issue is the health of Julius Peppers, who lost two weeks of training camp a year ago with an illness and never seemed to regain his strength. Peppers, who had 53½ sacks in five previous seasons, had only 2½ in 2007. In fact, the Panthers totaled just 23 sacks as a team, the lowest in their 13-year history and the second lowest in the NFL last year. Peppers has looked outstanding this summer.
On the hot seat
Coach John Fox and general manager Marty Hurney, who hired him, are both in trouble if the Panthers do not have a good season.
Stewart looks like a player. He's a powerful man with good moves and quickness and he could be as good as any rookie back in the NFL.
Hard road to hoe
There's a nasty finishing stretch of the schedule that includes post-Thanksgiving road games against Green Bay, the New York Giants and New Orleans, and a home game against Tampa Bay.
Panthers will be better than you think if ...
Delhomme stays healthy and he doesn't have to throw 500 passes, something the Panthers desperately want to avoid. Delhomme shared the NFC passer-rating lead when his season ended in the third game a year ago.
Panthers will be worse than you think if ...
Peppers has a second consecutive down year. But that's not likely as long as Peppers stays healthy. He's just 28 years old and in his contract year.

Ever wondered how you can get glowing skin naturally? Believe it or not, but you can have flawless skin without an expensive facial or nip and tuck. The secret to radiant skin isn't a complex beauty regime. Skincare products clog up your pores and dull the natural glow of your skin. So what is the magic formula? Simple - a healthy diet that includes at least some superfoods for skin.
The truth behind beauty products
Ever been won over by a make up ad which uses impressive sounding names like lysine? Fancy names like lysine are just protein building blocks or amino acids. They naturally occur in meat, fish and eggs, while fruit is packed with antioxidants. Another name bandied about by skin experts is vitamin E. Skincare products have uses and some even have scientific backing. But eating foods with skin-friendly vitamins will benefit your health as well as your skin.
Top 10 superfoods for skin
The foods that are highest in good fats are oily fish and walnuts. These healthy fats help to protect the skin against sun exposure.
Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries have natural antioxidants that slow down the aging process. They also help to protect against the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
Possibly the easiest sell, although not strictly a food. Water hydrates the skin, so that it looks healthy and youthful.
Low fat dairy contains vitamin A, which is one of the most important vitamins of healthy skin. Vitamin A reduces wrinkles associated with natural skin aging.
As well as being good for your heart, avocadoes are good for your skin health too. They are full of healthy fats that plump up your skin, making it look smooth and youthful.
Research shows that tomatoes can help to protect your skin against UV damage. They have a 'miracle ingredient' – lycopene. People who follow a high lycopene diet had a 30% increase in skin protection from the sun.
Sweet potato
They're loaded with vitamin C which smoothes wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen.
Green tea
Not only does green tea contain antioxidants, but it helps fight off skin disorders like warts. Tt's fabulous for your body and your skin.
Packed with beta-carotene, spinach helps to prevent dry skin and is also protective against sunburn.
Almonds are full of vitamin E, which clears out toxins, so it looks fresh and clear.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will voluntary reexamine a permit for a Massey Energy mine in Logan County.
In a federal court filing, it says it's seeking a remand of the Reylas surface mine permit granted to Massey's Highland Mining Co. in March. The agency tells U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers it could reinstate, change or revoke the permit.
Environmentalists sued days after the permit was granted, alleging violations of the federal Clean Water Act. They claimed the permit would wrongly let Highland bury more than 2 1/2 miles of stream.
Chambers issued a preliminary restraining order and scheduled another hearing for May 10.
Cindy Rank of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy says residents shouldn't have to sue. She says the corps should more rigorously scrutinize permits from the start.

It's a depressing time to be an American; it's a depressing time to like superhero comics. Don't get me started on the Marvel/Kirby thing. In the comics themselves, there are good things happening but not enough of them.
I am sincerely interested in this New 52 business, though, for a few reasons. First, I can't stop hoping things will change. I'm just that stupid. Second, I am paralyzed by nostalgia sometimes and want to feel like I did when I was thirteen and sitting on my bed reading Grant/Breyfogle Batman or Giffen/DeMatteis JLI."—My pal Matt Springer sums up a lot of what's in my heart about DC in particular, comics in general.
Anthony (not my brother) relates how Fable 2 helped him teach his brother morals, and transformed him from an aggressive terror into a more well-mannered, value-conscious child. Spoilers for Fable 2.
A child knows that real crabs on the beach do not sing and talk like the cartoon crabs in The Little Mermaid. A child can accept all kinds of weird-looking creatures and bizarre occurrences in a story because the child understands that stories have different rules that allow for pretty much anything to happen.
Adults, on the other hand, struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform with the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real."—Grant Morrison, Supergods (via tompeyer)
Buy these. These are good and they are incredibly cheap. Be good Americans.
A peaceful protest over the death of a man at police hands, in a community where locals have been given every reason to mistrust the forces of law and order, is one sort of political statement. Raiding shops for technology and trainers that cost ten times as much as the benefits you're no longer entitled to is another. A co-ordinated, viral wave of civil unrest across the poorest boroughs of Britain, with young people coming from across the capital and the country to battle the police, is another.

Another year done and dusted. That's all for our regular gaming meetings til September people.
Now I'm sure you're wondering "Stuart, where am I going to get my weekly dose of Gaming Society goodness from?" If you are, you might want to get a doctor to see about that…
Otherwise, here's a rundown of some of the things our individual members have that you can support over the summer.
Brace yourselves, we're in for a doozy of a blog post here.
First off, our ol' President, Nic Aplin, and his blog, Press "Start" to Play!
Nic, along with his buddy Jack, talk about various video game related topics, alongside reviews and such. You should also check out their podcast, Pause Break, and their webcomic, Players.
Next up, our older President, Ceri 'Curry' Rowland and his book, Fiendlord.
"Azred Ferla was just ten years old when demons attacked his village and killed his father. On that day, in the aftermath of the bloodshed, he swore to take revenge. Fourteen years later, as an accomplished mage and warrior, Azred leads the push to rid the land of the Midnight Fiends once and for all."
The first book in "The Undying Night" series, you can buy it now on Smashboards or Amazon.
Also, by his request, we should have a review of the book up some time during the Summer.
Next up, our oldest (that I know has something to advertise) President, Marty McHugh and his blog, Use X With Y.
A place for Marty to give his views on gaming-related topics…whenever he gets round to updating the damn thing. Hopefully some advertisement will give him incentive to update.
Our next one comes from our resident Irishman, Michael Corrigan and his podcast, the BeardCast.
*Insert non-existant banner/image here*
The BeardCast is where Michael and his various friends talk about various topics. Warning! NSFL: Not Safe For Life
You should also check out his blog.
Next, we have Scott MacIver and his streaming channel, Silverdude500.
*Again, insert non-existant banner/image here*
From Halo: Reach to Mario Party 2, watch Scott run through various video games of past and present.
Speaking of Scott, he has been nominated to help take the Olympic Torch through Aberdeen on June 11th, from Great Western Road through Holburn Street to Union Street. If you're still in the area that day, then please come out and help support a fellow society member partake in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Finally, we have one more blog…mine. The G&A Corner.
*Insert yet another non-existant image to go along with this shameless self-promotion*
Something I've only recently started up, I'll be mainly talking about video games and anime. It's a bit bare at the moment (especially on the video game side of things), but I've already got more updates this year than Marty, with more coming up, so it's all good.
So, with that all gone over, you'd think that we would be done for now, right? Wrong. We are planning to have irregular meetings throughout the summer for those who can still come along and attend them, so look out for updates about those both on here and on Facebook. We also have a few other things we're planning, which we'll let you know more about once we have those plans a little more set in concrete. Check our Facebook page reguarly to find out what we have in store.
Til next time, gamers!

It's huge fun because it's so confidence-inspiring, meaning you can take it anywhere and it'll make you feel you can push your limits. Very competent: commuters and couriers love Honda CB500s for their reliability and all-round, top-notch performance. In all aspects, the Honda CB500's a winner.

If you want to get to work, carry a butty box and do it all on about 69p per day, then the Suzuki GS125ES is for you. It's about as exciting as cold porridge, but like the Honda C90, or Kawasaki KH125, the Suzuki GS125ES simply provides basic two wheeled transport and costs peanuts to run.

With its "My first migraine" colourschemes, bold, shotgun-style quad exhausts and huge hung-out in-the breeze motor you won't mistake the Kawasaki Z1000 for anything else out on the road. It goes just like it looks, thanks to some huge shove, courtesy of that ex-superbike lump.

If you want basic transport, in a two stroke trail bike package, then the Kawasaki KE100 is arguably the template for the entire class. Starting life as the 100 G4 TR, it evolved into the KM100 and KE100, eventually killed off by looming emissions regulations in 1998. The lKawasaki KE100 has sightly dodgy brakes and electrics, but otherwise a tough, ...

The Honda CBR125R is an excellent 'mid market' 125. There are cheaper to buy / run bikes, like Honda's own CG125 but they lack kudos. There's a flotilla of fancy, mainly European motorcycles like Aprilia's gorgeous RS125 but they're silly money. But the Honda CBR125R's a tidy little motorcycle with a reliable four stroke engine, safe handling and brakes.

"I love these cards and have received many compliments on them. The paper is heavy and has a lovely texture. The ink color is lush and appears exactly as it does on the website. The print quality is very high. The continuation of the flower design on the back put their rich look over the top. My rush order on 50 of these beautiful cards was delivered as promised. My only regret is that I did not order more. I wanted to send them to everyone!"
"Boarding pass invite was the perfect choice for the travel themed shower I'm hosting. The ability to personalize the destination and arrival/departure time was so unique. I paper and font selection were excellent as well."
"Color true to picture. Card stock excellent. Had a little trouble with the website in terms of request for recipient address to be printed but called the company and they made everything right."
"We did a destination wedding and this card was perfect for our reception that we are having back home. Turn around time was quick and I will be ordering more cards in the future."
"We had a movie party for my daughter and we loved that this looked exactly like a movie ticket. The paper quality was nice and thick and the invitation was larger than I anticipated (I guess I should have read the specs!) Our guests all commented on how fun it was to get a movie ticket invitation for the movie party."

The Friday Fiver: Top 5 Black Comic Book Characters of All Time
Black History Month is a time to reflect on the lessons preached and taught by so many different influential Black leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., and authors such as Maya Angelou. They, along with so many other prominent figures, have taught us to become more compassionate to others, not only by means of words, but through action. GU would like to take this opportunity to thank all of these powerful people by taking a look at the Comic Industry's top 5 most influential characters of past and present.
5.) Luke Cage
First appearance: Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #1, June 1972 (Marvel Comics)
Fierce, hot-headed, bouncer for the Avengers—call him what you will, but there's no denying that Luke Cage, real name Carl Lucas, has earned his role with the world's most popular superhero team. Created by Archie Goodwin and John Romita Sr., Luke Cage, aka Power Man, has been featured in titles and storylines such as World War Hulk, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, Civil War, Daredevil and New Avengers.
Falsely convicted on drug charges, Carl Lucas found himself as an inmate at Seagate Prison. In exchange for parole, he agrees to undergo an experiment that should have allowed him to become immune to all diseases, but instead gave him his trademark superhero abilities: enhanced strength and a steel-skinned exterior. Lucas took on the Luke Cage persona after escaping from the prison, and began his own "hero for hire" business. Kids, with a little entrepreneurial spirit, you too can become a superhero for pay!
In recent years, Cage led the Thunderbolts, appearing as a regular in the series beginning with issue #144. The title eventually changed its name to Dark Avengers with issue #175. Cage's love life has received some attention after marrying Jessica Jones in the 2006 New Avengers Annual #1. During last summer's Avengers vs. X-Men series he decided to take a leave from the Avengers so that he could shift his focus to his parenting duties. Dude's gotta be a healthy father figure, right?
4.) Shadowman
First appearance: X-O Manowar #4, July 1992. First Full Shadowman appearance: Shadowman #1, May 1992 (Valiant Comics)
Jack Boniface was an everyday New Orleans jazz musician, until the dark Coven society equipped him with the "Darque" power so that he can battle the villain Master Darque. In the wee hours of the night, Jack becomes Shadowman, as he fights supernatural forces of evil with his abilities of nightvision, superhuman strength and mysterious voodoo powers. As a child, he kept a necklace that his mother had given him. Upon discovering his parents' criminal history, Jack threw the necklace into the ocean in a fit of anger. Unaware of its power to protect him from the curse of the Shadowman, Jack becomes the dark alter-ego without possession of the necklace.
Created by Jim Shooter, Steve Engelhart, David Lapham and Bob Layton,Valiant Comics debuted Shadowman in May of 1992, and the title experienced strong sales, selling over 100,000 copies on a monthly basis. By its second year, Shadowman was topping the comic sales charts, out-selling popular titles such as Batman, Fantastic Four and Thor. Valiant was eventually purchased by Acclaim Entertainment in 1996 for $65 million, which saw the relaunch of Shadowman under Acclaim Comics. The title's popularity gave birth to the 1999 Shadowman video game, which sold over 2 million copies on consoles such as PSX and N64. Acclaim Entertainment discontinued publishing comics in 2002. Last November, Valiant Entertainment relaunched a new ongoing Shadowman, with writer Justin Jordan and artist Patrick Zircher taking charge.
3.) Voodoo
First appearance: WildC.A.T.S #1, August 1992 (Wildstorm, relaunched in 2011 under DC Comics)
Originally published by Wildstorm in 1992, WildC.A.T.S #1 introduced readers to Priscilla Kitaen, an exotic dancer who's a mix of human, Kherubim and Deamonite all wrapped in one person. Brandon Choi and Jim Lee created Voodoo as part of the WildC.A.T.S team, with the unique ability of the "Sight," a gift that allows her to detect a person being controlled by a Daemonite. She also possesses telepathic abilities, regenerative healing and shapeshifitng powers.
DC Comics discontinued the Wildstorm label, and relaunched the self-titled Voodoo with issue #5 in 2011 as part of the New 52 lineup. Writer Ron Marz and artist Sam Basri joined creative forces to put a fresh spin on the character, including a different origin story from Voodoo's original early 90's version: after having been abducted by Daemonites, Priscilla undergoes experiments before escaping. The Daemonites create a Voodoo clone of her with some leftover genetic material, while the real Voodoo vows to defeat her clone after it goes on a murderous rampage throughout the United States.
Although the Voodoo character has endured a presence in the comic world for two decades, the New 52 title didn't experience much success. DC Comics canceled Voodoo last September with the #0 release. Also receiving the axe that same month: Resurrection Man and Captain Atom.
2.) Black Panther
First appearance: Fantastic Four #52, July 1966 (Marvel Comics)
Created by comic industry legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Black Panther was the first Black superhero regularly featured in American comics. There were other Black comic characters before his debut, such as Dell Comics' Lobo and Private Gabriel Jones of Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, but Black Panther is credited to be the first super-powered Black character.
T'Challa's mother died while giving birth to him, leaving the heir to the Panther Tribe of Wakanda to be raised by his father—King T'Chaka—and his second wife, Ramonda. T'Chaka was later murdered by Ulysses Klaw. As a child, T'Challa traveled the world in pursuit of a sound education, later to return to Wakanda at the age of 19 to claim the throne of the most technologically advanced nation in the world. He defeated his uncle, Wakanda ruler S'yan, in battle to seal his right to the throne.
While on a Wakandan rite of passage ritual, T'Challa met and fell in love with Ororo Monroe, the young weather-controlling mutant known universally as Storm. Despite their differences, T'Challa later married Storm in Black Panther #18, published in September of 2006.
So what's Black Panther up to these days? Partying it up as a bachelor? Well, not exactly. Black Panther is currently featured in writer Jonathan Hickman's New Avengers, as part of the Marvel Now! Relaunch of certain titles. Along with the other members of the clandestine Illuminati—possessors of the Infinity Gems—the team unites to prevent the collision of another Earth against our own planet. Now this may be a situation T'Challa can handle, but marriage, well that's another issue altogether. Who can blame him? Love ain't easy.
1.) Storm
First appearance: Giant Size X-Men #1, May 1975 (Marvel Comics)
As the former Queen of Wakanda, Storm is the embodiment of a fearless leader and a powerful woman. She's withstood the test of time, and since her 1975 Marvel Comics' debut, she still captivates audiences within the pages of comics, on the small screen through animated series, and on the big screen, including three X-Men movies in which she is played by none other than Halle Berry.
Storm was created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum, with the intent as a new addition to be featured in Legion of Superheroes. The character's original name was meant to be The Black Cat, but Cockrum felt she was too similar to other female feline characters such as Tigra. He redesigned the character to include her signature white hair and long black cape; thus emerged the Storm we've come to know and love today.
Ororo Monroe hails from an ancestral line of royalty dating back to the origins of humanity. Her mother, N'Dare, married an American photojournalist, and both parents were killed in Egypt during an Arab-Israeli conflict, leaving Ororo an orphan. Harnessing the ability to manipulate the weather, Storm eventually married King T'Challa (Black Panther) of the African nation of Wakanda. The couple ended their marriage due to differences stemming from the Avengers vs. X-Men debacle. Who ended it exactly? Well, in AVX #9, Storm did throw her wedding ring at T'Challa, before basically calling him a lousy husband. Love's tough.
Post-AVX days, Storm is busy as Headmistress of the Jean Grey School (check out Wolverine and the X-Men) and currently leading a new X-Men b-squad along with telepathic ninja Psylocke (check out Uncanny X-Force).

Event description
23/02/2012 - 07/06/2012
Jakub Matuška aka Masker and street art
Jakub Matuska (1981) is currently considered one of the most interesting painters of the younger generation. His work is enriched by the expressive elements of street art, but it is also conditional on the creation of master painters like Picasso and Surrealism for example. During his studies at the Prague Academy Jakub Matuska he graduated from the academic residence at Cooper Union in New York and at Middlesex University in London, where he gained insight into current trends and contributed his personal enrichment of painting. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (2009) he expresses himself through the classical hanging painting, but which carries on the technical elements of street art such as spray paint by spraying. Maskers work established itself on the offical art scene and on the Czech art scene helps change your mind on the viewpoint of street art. In 2011 he won the NG 333 award, awarded by the National Gallery. In 2010 he appeared among the finalists of the Chalupecký Prize, where he was among the favorites for the title. The visual layer of Maskers canvases are more sophisticated each year, so you can look forward to seeing his new paintings, which will be presented at his solo exhibition at dvorak sec contemporary in February.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan County may replace its coroner position with a medical examiner next year.
County Administrator Adam Payne said county officials have been discussing this for some time, but the most recent request comes from current Coroner Dave Leffin. He is retiring from the position after 28 years, and he feels the change to a medical examiner would ensure the best person for the position is found.
Payne said the only change it would have on the public is that the position would no longer be elected every four years, but rather appointed by the county government. Residents should expect the same quality of work from a medical exaiminer within current budget limits.
An ordinance to make the change will be introduced to the county board at their meeting next week.

Re: ** Masha News and Articles! ** Vol. 2
By Neil Edward Schlecht
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova, former Grand Slam champions and world No. 1s, who a few years back were a romantic item around the grounds of Flushing Meadows, shared the night program at Arthur Ashe Stadium united by a common quest: to return to former glory on this stage.
Both have struggled recently. Roddick, the 2003 US Open champ, hasn't been back to a Slam winner's circle since and in 2011 has suffered from injury, poor results and a lack of confidence. Sharapova, a three-time Grand Slam titlist (including the
US Open), has also had to overcome injury and a series of shaky performances, although she entered the tournament as the third seed, as well as the Wimbledon finalist and the winner of two WTA events this year.
Both survived; Roddick was severely tested, and Sharapova had the much easier time advancing, after taking to the court at 11 p.m.
In the opening match Roddick, looking for a boost of confidence after a dip in the rankings, outlasted 96th-ranked Michael Russell, 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. It was an all-American matchup of veterans: one a former US Open champion, the other a 33-year-old career journeyman who'd never won a match in seven US Open appearances.
Roddick is looking to resurrect his year, and perhaps career, with a good performance here. He moved out to an early lead on the strength of net approaches, but as the match wore on, Roddick played defensive, counter-punching tennis that didn't trouble Russell, a scrappy 5-foot-8 player who's the third-oldest in the men's draw.
Roddick got the win but probably not a whole lot else to encourage him as he moves forward. It's a troublesome indication of where Roddick's game and head are that Russell, who has few real weapons and in 17 tournaments this year had lost in the first round seven times, was able to give him real difficulty.
"I don't really care if it's ugly," Roddick told ESPN's Chris Fowler after the match. "I got through."
Roddick, who turned 29 on Tuesday, entered the 2011 US Open as the No. 21 seed, his lowest seeding ever at a Grand Slam. The former top-ranked American not only surrendered that distinction to good friend Mardy Fish earlier this year, he dropped out of the Top 20 for the first time in a decade.
After deep disappointments at recent majors, a Davis Cup shellacking in July at the hands of Spain in his hometown Austin, and nagging injuries, Roddick is hardly brimming with confidence. Roddick looked to be cruising after recovering from a break down in the second set, but Russell – called "Iron Mike" in the locker room and one of the few remaining players still to don a sleeveless shirt, looking more middleweight boxer than elite tennis player – hung tough, breaking Roddick early in the third set and making a match of it by extending rallies.
In fact, in the final two sets, it was the diminutive Russell who was dictating play and pushing his larger opponent around the court.
"I'm not going to pretend I'm in championship form," Roddick said.
Sharapova's form looked much stronger, and she made much quicker work of her similarly unheralded opponent, 84th-ranked Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarrus, 6-1, 6-1, in just 70 min.
Sharapova struck 27 winners compared to just two for Yakimova. The Russian's serve, so problematic in her belabored first-round victory, was much more effective tonight, as was the rest of her game; her groundstrokes were precise and penetrating, and Sharapova confidently finished off 13 of 15 points at the net. Perhaps most important, she committed only three double faults.
Sharapova's performance answered a lot of questions, while Roddick's only solidified the nagging concerns about his game.
Match Facts
- Roddick hit 42 winners and had just 22 unforced errors.
- Roddick is the last American male to win a Grand Slam (the 2003 US Open).
From the usopen.org
heh, for being the official USO site, you'd think they could at least get Maria's winning year right...

Jerry Springer sees similarities between the guests on his talk show and contestants in game shows.
"The truth is everyone wants to be liked," Springer said. "What I like about these live shows is just talking to people. That's what I enjoy."
The talk-show host will star in "The Price is Right Live" starting this week at Welk Resort in Branson. The show is a stage adaptation of the classic game show and features all of the same games, from the opening price-guessing to the Showcase Showdown -- and the Big Wheel.
The show returns to Branson this month with a run that starts today and goes until Nov. 30. Springer will host the show until June 8.
Political plans
Springer started out without a single desire to be in show business -- politics called out to him. After earning a law degree, he became a political campaign adviser to Robert F. Kennedy then joined a Cincinnati law firm.
There he became a city councilman in 1971, after a failed run for Congress. A scandal over a bounced check for prostitution forced him to resign, but after coming clean about the episode, he earned his seat back and was chosen to serve a year as mayor in 1977.
But throughout his political career he also worked in broadcasting. While earning an undergraduate degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, he worked for WTUL-FM. His work for the station continued even while he was mayor of Cincinnati, featuring his commentaries on politics.
TV trip
After serving as mayor, Springer said he got hired as a news anchor on WLWT, Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, winning local Emmy awards for nightly commentaries. That started him down the path to getting his own show in 1991, he said.
"At the time, I didn't have a clue what it took for a talk show," Springer said. "I was an employee assigned to do a show."
The first versions of "The Jerry Springer Show" were political in nature, covering everything from Jesse Jackson to Oliver North. But after three years, Springer had learned enough to make a critical decision: He geared the show to target a younger generation.
At the time, shows such as "Oprah" targeted older crowds, but Springer saw the energy that Rikki Lake got on her show.
"She was the first to go after young people, and I thought it was a good business model," he said. "Why try to be Oprah's show? Let's be young, and that meant a young audience, young people on stage and a young subject matter."
The new format spiked the show's ratings in the late '90s. Its reputation for revelations of infidelity, blue-collar guests, fighting and a carnival-like atmosphere earned Springer a unique place in cultural history, earning mentions in songs by Mark Knopfler, Weird Al Yankovic and Kanye West.
The show is still in syndication and filmed in Stamford, Conn. Springer said the subject material is as crazy as ever.
"We're with Universal, and they have told us we're only allowed to do crazy," Springer said. "If we come across an uplifting show idea, we know we'll be handing that off to another show."
Still, between the fights, revelations and chants from audience members, Springer said there is plenty of humanity to be found on the show.
"(Young people) turn out to be more open, wilder and crazier," Springer said. "But really, it's the personality of the guest more than the subject matter. That's what makes the show work for all these years."
The only true shock behind the show is that those stories made it on TV, Springer said. The show features nothing that isn't found everywhere in real life.
"You can read the headlines any day and by the time you get to page three, there's ideas for 20 separate shows," Springer said. "Some people are luckier in the gene pool of parents, but deep down, we're all alike. The idea that rich people are more moral or have a greater worth than middle income people just isn't true."
Pop culture pariah
The show ensconced Springer as a pioneer in pop culture, which has led to a diverse career. He hosted NBC's "America's Got Talent" for two seasons, replacing Regis Philbin. He has been featured on "Dancing with the Stars" and appeared on TV shows such as "The Simpsons" and "Roseanne" and in movies such as "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."
But the shows that call to Springer are political in nature. He appears on political talk shows on MSNBC and Fox News to talk about current events.
Though he has become a pro in show business, Springer still feels a strong calling to politics -- specifically, a calling to how people treat each other.
"Our politics would be so much better if everything our mothers told us in second grade we kept as a lesson," Springer said. "All the things we're taught as a little kid we forget when we grow up, and concentrate on what's in it for me."
His passion for politics and being a good neighbor fueled his legendary closing phrase: "Take care of yourselves, and each other." He has expressed the sentiment since his days of being an anchor, when anchors were encouraged to come up with closing statements.
"Back then, everyone said to take care of yourself, and that was the me generation," Springer said. "I thought there was something empty about that, so I added the tag about each other."
Springer is no stranger to "The Price is Right Live": He has hosted the game show in Las Vegas, Vancouver and Atlantic City.
Produced by Fremantle Media, Springer started hosting the show about four years ago. A fan of the show, made famous by TV host Bob Barker, Springer said he was honored to be tabbed for the live stage show, and he gets a thrill from screaming "Come on down!"
And Branson's live entertainment makes him even more excited about his run. He said he's looking forward to catching shows from "America's Got Talent" alumni The Duttons and the Texas Tenors.
"I've never been to Branson, but I've wanted to go for a long time," Springer said. "Really, Las Vegas and Branson are two of the only places left in America with so much live entertainment."
Want to go?
"The Price Is Right Live!" runs until November. Tickets: $31.95, $15.95 for children. Tickets are available by phone at 1-800-505-9355 or online at WelkBranson.com.

MADISON - The road to wins at the Sweet South Classic has been an arduous journey for Rockdale's basketball squads as the two teams have combined to go 1-3 against the competition in the first two rounds.Both the Rockdale boys and girls stumbled in their opening games of the tourney on Thursday, losing battles to teams from Alabama. The Rockdale boys dropped a 75-48 decision to Gadsden City, while the Rockdale girls fell 54-45 to Carver-Montgomery. On Friday, the Rockdale boys got back on the winning track with a 63-60 win over Ida Baker, Fla. Unfortunately, the Lady Bulldogs weren't as lucky, falling 55-35 to North Forsyth. And according to Rockdale boys coach Mitchell Harris, the win against Ida Baker was still nothing to brag about. "It was an ugly win," Harris said. "We've got to continue focusing on fundamentals." The Bulldogs have been abysmal from the free-throw line in the tournament, hitting 9 of 21 free throws against Ida Baker and 8 of 24 against Gadsden City. Kevin Ware led the Bulldogs (6-2) against Ida Baker, scoring 20 points. He was the only Bulldog in double figures. Against Gadsen City, Jonathan Gissentaner led the Rockdale boys with 15 points, but once again, he was the only Bulldog to reach double digits. "They (Gadsden City) were very physical and they put a lot of pressure on us. They were committed to playing defense," Harris said. "They were fundamentally sound. The kids were confident and they did a good job coaching them. The kids are obviously committed to what the program is trying to do." Meanwhile, Rockdale girls coach Leonard Buckner has liked the way his team has played defensively, he just wishes they could cut down on the fouls. Fouls cost the Lady Bulldogs (3-5) in both of the tournament losses, especially against Carver-Montgomery. "They weren't bad. They were similar to a Salem or a Clarke Central," Buckner said. "Still, we outscored them every quarter but the third quarter. We had a rough third quarter." Carver outscored Rockdale 21-7 in the third. A lot of that was due to the fact that Rockdale was called for 10 fouls in the frame. The Lady Bulldogs were led by Giovanni Simms (11 points), Henrietta Carr (10 points) and Jasmine Miller (eight). Miller and Lamonica Johnson led the offensive charge against North Forsyth with seven points apiece. Lauren Stewart added six in the loss. "We've got to execute on offense and rebound better on defense," Buckner said. "We're playing physical right now, we've just got to do a better job of executing." Both Rockdale squads will wrap up play in the tournament today. The Rockdale girls hit the court again at 10 a.m. and the Rockdale boys play at 2:30 p.m. against Newnan.

Outdoor Rugs for Indoor Rooms
Outdoor rugs have a lot going for them: 1) they're durable, 2) they're easy to clean, and 3) they're generally cheaper than indoor rugs. They also have a few drawbacks: 1) they're usually made from synthetic materials or blends and 2) they're not very soft underfoot. We use a synthetic blend outdoor rug in our hall, but we're considering a larger version for our den. There are lots of styles and colors to choose from, a few of which we've linked below...
• 1 Marin Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Ballard Designs, $19 - $189
• 2 ZigZag Outdoor Rug from West Elm, $89 - $399
• 3 Natural Double Happiness Outdoor Rug from World Market, $80
• 4 Diamond Outdoor Rug from Pottery Barn, $49 - $299
• 5 Safavieh Courtyard Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Macy's, on sale for $60 - $370

I've seen bright multicolored outdoor rugs sold in boutiques that seem to be made of recycled plastics, in jewel tones and patterned to echo traditional Oriental styles.
Anyone had luck with Mad Mats or Koko Trends? I feel like they might be awfully slippery and that's the last thing I need while sipping my mojitos porchside...
I don't think I've ever understood the concept of an outdoor rug - If you leave it out on a concrete patio it will trap dirt and become a home for bugs, etc. - and on a wooden deck, it will do all that plus trap moisture and accelerate rot.
For interior use, wool is of course more expensive, but it's also naturally fire-resistant, stain resistant, anti-biotic, and it's a renewable resource.
We have an outdoor rug on the covered portion of our patio (on pavers), and it's not even remotely a dirt/bug trap. It's a synthetic sisal and we love it.
The cats love it too - they scratch the heck out of it and haven't damaged it at all.
Plus, we were able to easily pressure wash it when we first got it (from someone whose cats peed on it) and it was good as new.
Whoa! Why have I never looked at World Market for rugs before? I think you just changed my life . . .
@vsheaffer, they have AWSOME rugs. They have a white textural one with paisly on it that I have obsessed about for eons.
Do you think one of these outdoor rugs would work in the breakfast area? Or would they be to harsh underfoot?
asinner --
You must be much more concientious about cleaning your patio than my sister and BIL are about cleaning their deck...
@vsheaffer: your words echo my excitement. i know where i am going after lunch!
We have indoor/outdoor rugs in our living room and dining room. We chose them because they resist cat clawing, they make it easy to clean up random cat puke, dirty paw marks, and food and wine stains, they don't hold dust and dander, and they actually look quite nice for a relatively low price.
The LR rug is from Ballard: http://www.ballarddesigns.com/Rugs/By-Color/Brown-Rugs/French-Leopard-Indoor-Outdoor-Rug/p/1401
The DR rug is an older Pottery Barn design. We love them both.
Outdoor rugs help prevent your dogs from tracking dirt, mud, pine needles, and misc inside the house.
The four I purchased (from a different site) did not tolerate seven months of weather, however. The centers split, parts that were under furniture turned green, and they didn't wash up as well as I'd hoped.
I did purchase a polypropylene rag-weave rug for the breakfast room and it has held up much better than any of the wool rugs I've tried. It's light enough to roll up and take out doors for a fast scrubbing and it dries quickly.
We have an outdoor rug that we bought from World Market last spring for our screened in porch (concrete floor) and we LOVE it! The price was very reasonable, we love the style, and it's much softer underfoot than I had expected. It's easy to clean and does not trap dirt underneath.
Using an outdoor rug indoors seems like a good idea to me, as long as it's made of recycled materials. God knows we don't need new synthetics brought into the world... although I've also heard that the recycling process is pretty toxic, too. What to do, what to do.
I've had an outdoor rug in my front hallway for years. I'm getting tired of its' tan-ness, happy to see the new colors and patterns.

Gift Fair: U+ Collection from Umbra
We zipped through the Gift Fair at the Javits Center on Sunday and snapped some pics of our favorite new products. New to Umbra's U+ Collection are a round coffee table and a petite three-legged console table (above) — both part of the popular (and seemingly ever-expanding) Rolly Series...
• 1 The three-legged Rolly Console has presence — but a very small footprint. Like all products in the Rolly Series, the console is finished with walnut veneer and features tambour doors.
• 2 The simple, but highly effective signage for the U+ collection
• 3
• 4 The low, round Rolly Coffee table. Walnut veneer and tambour doors to hide storage.
• 5 A stacking game made from faceted wood blocks of various sizes. Beautiful!

BOSTON – The Bruins certainly have some question marks on their roster — namely the third line and third defensive pairing — but at least one of the questions they faced entering the season appears to be answered. Anton Khudobin has proven that he is perfectly capable of being the backup goalie the Bruins need.
Everyone knew the starting job now belonged to Tuukka Rask, and there wasn't really any doubt that he was ready for that role. He already had very good numbers in his NHL career, and he has continued to play at a high level this season.
The question was whether or not Khudobin, who had just seven games of NHL experience before this season, was ready to be a legitimate NHL backup. He didn't need to be as great of a backup as Rask was for Tim Thomas, but with the condensed schedule, the Bruins would need him to at least be dependable on nights they wanted to give Rask some rest.
So far, Khudobin has been up to the task. After stopping 25 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over Toronto, Khudobin is now 4-1-0 with a 2.42 goals against average and .910 save percentage.
"It's huge," Brad Marchand said of Khudobin's play. "We need Doby to play well. Tuukks is going to need his rest. You have to have a goalie you can count on to back him up. With the way Doby's stepping in here and playing very well, we're all happy for him. We're definitely confident when he's in the net."
Khudobin also picked up a win over Tampa on Saturday. He got off to a bit of a tough start in that game, as he tried to shake off the rust from not playing in two weeks, but then he started to play great and kept the Bruins in a game that they eventually came back to win.
On Thursday, Khudobin didn't have to shake off any rust. He was on his game right from the opening faceoff, as evidenced by a great save he made on Tyler Bozak midway through the first period. A shot from the point went wide, but the puck caromed right back to Bozak at the side of the crease. Khudobin reacted in time to get his right leg out and make the stop, though.
Another big save came early in the second when David Krejci turned the puck over in the offensive zone, leading to a rush the other way — the same setup that led to the Maple Leafs' first goal minutes earlier. Khudobin bailed Krejci out, though, as he gloved Nikolai Kulemin's shot from the right circle.
"That's what you want to get from your backup goaltender," said coach Claude Julien. "He played well tonight. Their second goal, you could see he was mad. He felt he should have had it. But he made some real good saves throughout the whole game. I thought he was solid. It certainly makes our team feel better when you know no matter who you put in net, they're going to give you a solid performance."
Thursday's win was important for Khudobin not just because it provided another example that he can give Rask a breather, but because it showed that he can be used at pretty much any time.
Prior to Thursday, all of Khudobin's starts had come when the Bruins had been playing well in the week or so leading up to that game. The Bruins entered Thursday's game on a two-game losing streak, though. Obviously the win doesn't mean Khudobin will be the Bruins' stopper the next time they lose two in a row, but it does mean that he has the ability to do more than just keeping a winning streak going.
"Honestly, we were confident in both of [our goalies]," said Patrice Bergeron. "We knew Tuukks was going to do the job, but also we knew that Anton was a good goalie and he was going be able to come in and just be a solid backup like he is right now. Tonight was a good example. We lost two games and he's coming in and making some big saves for us in the first period, keeping us in the game and then we took the lead."

I'm fascinated with drones. I've never been a model airplane guy and my model rocket phase lasted about a month when I was 10. But drones feel like something different, since I can program them to do what I want them to go do, rather than have to control them with a controller. My current goal is to program a Taco Drone to go from the 2nd floor balcony outside of my office to T/ACO, hover for a few minutes while they attach lunch to it, and return to my balcony.
We recently invested in 3D Robotics so I went online and bought a 3DR Iris quadcopter. We got an early version a month or so ago and some of the gang in my office – especially Dane, Nick, and Eugene – have been flying it around. Dane appears to have mastered it since his instructions to me included stuff like "don't press that button" and "don't move that lever."
Yesterday he brought the Iris up to my place in Keystone for me to play around with. It was at the end of a longer meeting on another project we are working on. I wanted to just program the drone to do stuff, but Dane insisted that I learn how to fly it manually first. So I did.
The results were predictable – a tree jumped out and got in the way.
In comparison, here's how it's supposed to work. Now if someone would finish up that jetpack I've been waiting for.
If you think Amazon Prime Air is neat, you'll love the new Amazon Prime Ground.
Spheros and Quadcopters are available with shipping still in time for Christmas.
We believe great companies can be created anywhere.
When we started Foundry Group, we hypothesized that 33% of our investments would be in Colorado, 33% would be in California, 33% would be "everywhere else", and 1% would be on Mars.
We still haven't done the Mars one, but we remain optimistic about the possibility.
Today we've announced that we've made new investments in LeadPages (a company in Minneapolis) and 3D Robotics (a company in Tijuana, San Diego, and Berkeley). They were joined by our friends in Boulder at VictorOps (across the street from our office) who just raised a $6.5m financing.
Need a drone? That would be 3D Robotics.
Need split-test landing pages, launch pages, sales pages, and other conversion pages? That would be LeadPages.
Need your DevOps life to be less hellish? That would be VictorOps.
I love what we do.

I need to finish Prophecy rewrites but lately my mind has been in the mood to write a dystopian novel. This creates a major conflict.
I have to finish Prophecy to make myself happy, but at the same time, I need to go with the mood of what I feel like writing. Unfortunately, I don't have anything outlined. I also know from experience that the mood may pass and another will come at the right time. However, this particular mood has been hanging over me for a few weeks like a cloud. Sometimes it moves away and the sun shines on something else, but it's still there on the horizon. It's moved in again today and is hanging over me.
Do I go with that and push aside Prophecy rewrites still further? I might be able to do both if I split my time, since I already know what needs to change in Prophecy to make it better. (Long story short–I had rewritten it once to how I wanted it but lost that version and am now writing it again to what I had in that version.)
Maybe I need to pause with those rewrites and develop a new world. The crazy thing is that once I say I'm going to do something, that's when the idea slips away. I have SO MANY ideas that they tangle together and then the jumble makes it difficult for me to sort through and I end up getting mired down rather than cruising ahead.
I guess we'll see what happens. Thanks, Imagine Dragons for altering my course /tongue in cheek.
(I love this song and the rest of the album, which has inspired me in this dystopian idea mood…along with all my disappointment in the events of the world today.)

Friday, Sports Medicine Professionals and Emergency Services Personnel came together to talk about treating sports-related injuries.
The Hoover Fire and Police Departments teamed up with the National Center for Sports Safety, Lemak Sports Medicine and the University of Georgia to host a training course. This was pilot program aimed at bridging the gap between Emergency Services Personnel and Sports Medicine Professionals.
Each group goes through a lot of training and both want what's best for the athlete. But, Rusty Lowe, the Executive Director for the Hoover Fire Department, said getting to the end result isn't always the same.
"This is a great opportunity to partner with the Sports Medicine folks and get a course together that's very user friendly for Sports Medicine and for Emergency Services Personnel, to help get us all on the same page to better care for an injured athlete," explained Lowe.
Organizers of this pilot course said in the future, this will be offered across Alabama.

'Everything Has Changed' is a song that I wrote with Ed Sheeran, and he is such a talented person, in so many ways. He's such an incredibly talented guitar player, and singer, and songwriter, and performer. Writing this song with him was so much fun because, you know, we were sitting in my backyard writing the song and he started singing harmony on it and I asked if he would record it with me as a duet, because it's about this moment that both people are having where they see each other and all of the sudden, the world looks different. 'Cause everything changed.
