SAN DIEGO — Will Venable had three hits and three RBIs, including a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning, and the San Diego Padres rallied to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-6 on Friday night.
Jedd Gyorko homered twice and drove in a career-high four runs as the Padres stormed back after a terrible start. Chase Headley and Logan Forsythe had two hits apiece.
Nate Schierholtz hit a three-run homer in Chicago's six-run first inning, but that was all the scoring for theCubs.
Nick Vincent (3-1) pitched a scoreless inning for the win and Huston Street got three outs for his 25th save in 26 chances.
It was a remarkable turnaround from the first inning, when San Diego appeared to be headed for a long night when the first eight batters reached against Edinson Volquez.
Leadoff batter Starlin Castro reached on a throwing error by third baseman Chase Headley, moved to second on Anthony Rizzo's single and scored on Dioner Navarro's base hit. Schierholtz then connected for his 19th homer to make it 4-0.

EAST LANSING—The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams officially broke ground on March 17. FRIB, which will be built on MSU's campus, is the only facility of its kind in the country. Michigan senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow attended.
Dr. Thomas Glasmacher, the FRIB's project manager, said the groundbreaking marks the beginning of an extensive process.
"In 2 and a half years the civil construction will be done, we start technical construction in the fall, and we'll finish the project hopefully in December of 2020, but for sure by June of 2022, " said Glasmacher, who joined MSU's faculty in 1995 and is now a university distinguished professor in the Physics and Astronomy department.
Glasmacher said FRIB will replace the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory that is currently in use on campus.
"When FRIB is done, the Cyclotron will cease to exist and then the assets will be incorporated into FRIB," Glasmacher said.

EAST LANSING–In the wake of the ruling on same-sex marriage on March 22, 2014, and the hold that was placed shortly after, many same-sex couples have found themselves in limbo, with their weddings being considered legal, but being denied access to many marriage benefits.
Chelsea McCarty and Rebecca Lee were one of 43 couples at Harbor Unitarian Universalist Congregation on March 22. McCarty, a full-time, graduate student at Ferris State University studying criminal justice, said the marriage took an immense weight off her shoulders.
"Being legally married meant a lot to me," McCarty said. "To me, it just meant that we are recognized as an equal. That we are not some kind of second-class citizen."
Lee said the marriage has brought on an entirely new perspective on marriage equality in the United States.
"Now I pay much more attention to where it is accepted, and where I am able to help," Lee said. "Chelsea has opened up so many doors, with just this subject, for me to look in to. I want to fight for it. I want to know what is going on in other states. I'm getting more educated every day, and I have a bigger interest in it now."

The GreenLight Business Model Competition held its second annual showcase of innovative business ideas and technological advancement models in East Lansing.
Spartan Innovations welcomed aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, and supporters to the event. The event allows any Michigan business, resident, or student with a company to compete for funding for their project. This year's competition consisted of 25 hopefuls pitching their ideas to a panel of eight judges, vying for $50,000 in prizes.
"Some of the amazing technologies we're seeing today are ready to be on the market," said Spartan Innovations Director Brian Abraham, "This is a big difference in comparison to last year's competition."
Abraham said the key to competitions like this is sociability, because the main point is connecting with investors and consumers.

Construction alone of the BRT could reach a staggering $195 million. The East Lansing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) design team is welcoming the public of East Lansing to view its design studio as part of several East Lansing charrette activities.
The charrette series will allow for public involvement in East Lansing regarding upcoming changes to the city.
This access into the design studio would allow the public to ask certain burning questions about the new BRT which would serve as a new and improved public transportation system that would run between downtown Lansing and Webberville.
"This will replace the route number one bus," said Victor B. Dover, founder of Dover, Kohl and Partners "So, people who have been turned off by the current buses in the region will really love this."
The development of the Bus Rapid Transit would provide a more efficient boarding mechanism that would result in faster travel times, as the BRT travels on center-running bus lanes.

Niagara Foundation, a non-profit and non-political organization striving to build intercultural relationships invited the public of East Lansing to a free dialogue dinner known as the Celebrating Women as Community Builder panel series.
The evening began with a reception that served Turkish themed refreshments. After the reception, the mistress of ceremonies welcomed the audience to the Panel Series.

Bucak introduced the panelists, all of whom received five questions that encouraged them to share their journeys of becoming community builders, their inspirations, and share their thoughts on women's role as community leaders.

The closing of Goodrich's Shop-Rite in East Lansing, has begun to leave surrounding businesses and customers concerned whether a new apartment complex will be a negative or positive addition to the Trowbridge Plaza.
Opened in 1937, the specialty grocery store has not signed a new lease and will soon be replaced by a new grocer and apartment complex.
The store has been in the Trowbridge Plaza located on the corner of Harrison and Trowbridge roads for 47 years.
"It's going to be weird not having it around," said Tim Horton Shift Supervisor David Covert. "It has been around my entire life."
Covert said new apartments could open up a lot of extra business for the Tim Horton's located in the plaza.
Although businesses could benefit from the new apartment complex, the abundance of new customers is one of the results that could come from the closing.
"I am going to miss the convenience of the store being located in the plaza," said East Lansing resident Kelsea Haidamous.
Haidamous said she has been shopping at Goodrich's for three years and is a huge fan of the store's deli.
In addition to the deli, Goodrich's offers specialty items that could be otherwise hard to find such as Boar's Head meats and cheeses. This could cause regular customers to migrate to other grocers like Meijer and Kroger.

"I'm most excited to see who people nominated," said Assistant to the City Manager Megan Clark, "Then it's always fun to see why they're choosing to help out the community."The Crystal Awards in East Lansing, Mich is what has Clark so excited. The 27th annual ceremony presents awards to businesses, non-profit organizations, and unsung heroes of the city's community. The City Council hosts the annual event.
There will be four winners this year, similar to several past years.
Nominations are due by Feb. 14. The fact that nominations are due on the same day as the Valentine's Day is no coincidence. "We did play up that deadline on social media," said Communications Coordinator Ami Van Antwerp, "When I chose the date I felt that it would be memorable."
Awards will be in two categories, business and community. Winners will be decided by a committee selected by the committee. She added, "I do not participate in the decisions and neither does the City Council."
Crystal Awards can only be presented to community members. However, that has not negatively impacted surrounding cities from showing enthusiasm and support for the ceremony. "A good friend of mine has been nominated a couple of times for the Crystal Award," said Lansing resident Dwight Washington, "I am always excited to new faces that are helping out their community in such positive ways."
City Council has promoted the Crystal Awards on flyers and on the City of East Lansing's website. The Crystal Awards will be held April 24 at the East Lansing Hannah Community Center; the event will be free and open to the public.

A mesmerising opener sees family man Tom (Tom Fisher) inexplicably up sticks from suburban Birmingham to pursue a life on London's mean streets.
Into his solitary world crashes motormouth man-child Aidan (Aidan Gillen), who's as buoyant as Tom is troubled.
If writer/director Jamie Thraves overdoses on ambiguity – Tom's motivations are left unexplained to an extent that distracts rather than intrigues – the yin-yang central dynamic crackles with heart and humour.
Gillen's manic turn is the attention grabber, but Fisher's quietly wounded man-on-the verge is a solid anchor.

On Aug. 27, ceremonial shovels hit the dirt at Lafitte Street in New Orleans, as the redevelopment of the Lafitte public housing complex got under way.
New Orleans—HRI Properties has broken ground on Bonne Terre Village II, a 50,962-square-foot senior living apartment community primarily for those displaced as the result of Hurricanes Katrina and Gustavo.
OAKLAND, CALIF.Young adults who have nowhere to go when they age out of the foster-care system have found a home at the Madison at 14th Street Apartments.
NEW ORLEANS—While a marching band played ragtime and former residents cheered, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin cut the ribbon to open 30 rebuilt seniors apartments at Wisdom Manor in January.
NEW ORLEANS—Since the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina poured into the C.J. Peete public housing complex here, Jocquelyn Marshall and her son have traveled from an emergency shelter in Tunica, Miss., to an apartment in Houston, and then to an apartment in another New Orleans neighborhood.

A. A. When system policy editor is run you can select which templates to include. There are 3 which are supplied with NT, and are stored in the %systemroot%/inf directory
- common.adm
- windows.adm
- winnt.adm
The only ones you will use normally are common.adm and winnt.adm. Windows.adm was supplied for compatibility with windows95 machines, however policies created with Windows NT will not work on Windows 95 so this template is not used.
To select which templates to use, select "Policy template" from the options menu.
The structure of an adm file is simple and follows the structure shown below
CATEGORY !!<string for first level>
CATEGORY !!<string for second level> this is optional
 POLICY !!<string for name to be displayed next to check box>
 KEYNAME !!<string for the keyname where the value is, do not include the first
 VALUENAME !!<actual value name>
 VALUEON "1" VALUEOFF "0"
 PART !!<displayed in the bottom of the system policy screen> TEXT
END CATEGORY
<strings defined>="Windows NT Network"
Simple! The !! means what's after is a string and has to then be defined in the \[strings\] section. You don't have to use strings and can just put the entries directly be enclosing in quotes if it contains a space, it just might help for long key names if used repeatedly. For every keyword (except for class) there must be a end keyword, e.g. for category there must be a end category, same as an if and endif etc.
For examples, look at the common.adm and winnt.adm files and then compare to how they look in the system policy editor to get the display and effect you want. There are many other combinations and effects such as a drop down box which can be accomplished using the following
VALUENAME ""<actual value>
NAME "<string>" VALUE NUMERIC n
NAME "<string>" VALUE NUMERIC n
NAME "<string>" VALUE NUMERIC n
END PART

2013 was supposed to be "The Year of The Elder Scrolls Online." When we first learned about the game back in 2012, rumors flew around the internet about when exactly it would launch, but no one knew for sure. It wasn't until E3 when Bethesda announced the game would be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that we learned it had been pushed back to Spring of 2014.
Maybe it's for the best, because had it launched this holiday, there's a chance sales would have been low on consoles because not many people had a new system yet. By waiting until spring there may be 10 million next-gen consoles out in the wild just waiting for the first epic, amazing MMO of the generation. Players on both PC and console will be ready and waiting to devour the year's most anticipated game.
~insert screeching record scratch sound indicating a sudden stop~
The Competition Just Got Tougher
Wait a minute… that is unfortunately no longer the case. Had ESO launched in 2013, it is entirely possible it could have launched as the year's (or at the very least, the season's) hottest, most anticipated, perhaps even best game. The PS4 and Xbox One launch titles are not exactly mind-blowing, so ESO could have been THE game to pick up with the system of your choice. But now, ESO is simply one of several big, major, and innovative games coming out in Spring 2014, and it runs the chance of getting lost in the crowd, especially considering its monthly subscription.
This isn't meant to be a criticism of the subscription model. In fact, I think for ESO it was the right move. But launching alongside, or within a couple months of, Titanfall, Watch Dogs, Thief, Dark Souls II, and Infamous: Second Son (just to name a few) could mean it's just another game in a great lineup of titles. And when gamers need to decide on what games to purchase with their hard-earned money, having to choose between Titanfall (perhaps the most talked about game of the year) and the subscription-charging Elder Scrolls Online, that extra $15 could come into play.
But even outside of the monthly fee, the sheer quality of those titles is hard to deny. Titanfall will likely be a an instant and massive hit. Watch Dogs will change the way we play open world games. Thief will redesign (or at least attempt to re-imagine) the stealth game. Infamous: Second Son will offer hours and hours of exploring the large, open world, both horizontally and vertically. The bottom line is that ESO is no longer the belle of the ball, but simply another beauty looking for a dance.
Walking the Treacherous Path
I certainly hope ESO finds a nice window where there isn't too much else coming out so at least the initial purchase won't necessarily compete with another major title. It will be tough for ESO to be THE big game of the year, and in order to stand out, ZeniMax Online Studios certainly has their work cut out for them. But if there is a game franchise that stands a chance at taking down Titanfall, it's Elder Scrolls. And if there is a team that understands its fans and what they want, it's ZeniMax and Bethesda.
The Elder Scrolls Online may have a tougher road ahead of it this year than it would have last year, but it's certainly not an impossible task. 2014 can certainly still be "The Year of The Elder Scrolls Online", but its path is suddenly much more treacherous.

Auburn University's College of Sciences and Mathematics introduced a one-of-a-kind magnet laboratory, and a 6,000 lb. superconducting magnet at an open house Thursday, May 29.
The facility, housed in the department of physics, will support plasma physics research for Auburn University faculty and students, as well as national and international scientists who will come to Auburn to perform experimental studies.
Edward Thomas, Physics Professor at AU, says, "It's absolutely amazing. This is a project that we have been working on for a very long time to have it funded, and now to be operational is really like a dream come true."
The magnet will allow researchers to shape the structure of the magnetic field and as a result, perform potentially ground-breaking experiments.

Hello, I've moved to a new blog and am updating much more frequently. Check it out!
This is what I'm working on lately. More film, more B&W, more experimenting. I will be taking this little gem of a camera to many more shoots in the future.
Hand in hand surrounded by joyous excitement!
This photo conveys a good bit of why I love being a wedding photographer, and how I like to tell the story. I want it to feel like you are there when you look at the photos, and I want my own joy for the couple to come through the lens.
Revisiting in B&W VSCOfilm, I think I love it more now.
Dog Attack!!!
i didn't pay the bill for my old portfolio site. it's terrible, it doesn't have the majority of my best newest stuff. i've abandoned, neglected, disowned it. the best part about it is it still has my email address and phone number so people who want to pay me to take super rad photos of them can find me.
i am having the darndest time just finishing my new one. i mean it's so pathetic. it's like that thank-you card that you haven't mailed for the christmas gift but now it's march it you think if you mail it you'll just look like an ass so why bother. but every day you still think you should mail the damn thing because you are a complete jerk if you don't. and why the heck don't you just do it already? welcome to my relationship with my website. it is beautiful and stuck inside my computer. here's a jpeg. it does exist.
Here's a little gif of a Green Tea French Macaron being made at Columbia Kate's Teahouse. YUM YUM! And yes, I did take it home and eat it afterwards.
my child fascinates me, pushes me to my complete limits, and then teaches me more patience. edited with VSCO

projects::e-voting security::EVEREST
I was a member of the WebWise Security team that completed an analysis of the ES&S electronic voting system as part of the "Evaluation & Validation of Election-Related Equipment, Standards & Testing" (EVEREST) project. The study was commissioned by Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who issued a series of recommendations and options to address the study's findings.
Our testing consisted of a "red teaming" assessment of the security of the hardware and software that are part of the ES&S system. We were able to identify a number of serious vulnerabilities, and showed how they could be exploited to compromise the integrity of an election by developing a number of attacks. We also demonstrated how a virus could be created to infect and control electronic voting machines.
Our team was led by Giovanni Vigna and Richard Kemmerer, and, besides me, included Davide Balzarotti, Greg Banks, Viktoria Felmetsger, William Robertson, and Fredrik Valeur.
The project's findings, including our assessment of the ES&S system, have been published in a technical report. The Secretary of State released the public version of our report on December 14th, 2007.
The EVEREST project received considerable attention in the media. Here are the references to some of the articles, videos, and radio programs that covered the topic.

How do you get your site seen on the web?
To enable your business web site to be found on the web – it heeds to be indexed. Over the years many have used Wikipedia and social networking sites for this purpose – some have done it very careffully – others may be considered just SPAM.
Have you also found that you can never really find what you want on the web any more? Sure we have country filtering – but maybe now it is time for a radical change.
For search engines to become reputable again.. all it will take is Google (and others) to ignore the social network sites and all will be restored.
Increasingly the web is becoming a 'big boys' game – where to be on first page for Google for a b2b service you will need to throw a lot of cash at it.the sooner that great god Google starts to ignore wikipedia and all of the social networking sites the better.either that or we have 3 search engines – B2B & B2C and C2C. Three different sets of results for three different purposes – I suspect that people looking for holiday stuff are fed up with seeing trade material and trade people fed up with the latest package deal from their competitor.
The web has grown up – not sure I will call it web 2.0 – but the search engines certainly need to change the rules of the game and start (as AJ started) to become find engines rather than search engines…

Mojo Rising
Mojo's musical journey began, like so many others, as a child – performing on wind instruments in symphonic and jazz bands. As he grew, these early influences became interwoven with a variety of other styles – classic rock, new wave, hip hop, funk and industrial. The desire to actually create music was seeded in high school when introduced to MIDI, synthesis and sampling. Then, in the early 90s, Mojo discovered the emerging underground electronic music culture and began DJing in the robust underground scene of Los Angeles, spinning everything from techno to house to drum & bass as well as breakbeats and trip-hop. His eclectic tastes translated well as a DJ and shine through in his production work. An avid collector of vinyl and music of many genres, Mojo prides himself on his musical knowledge, but is always hungry to discover more. Taking a hiatus from live gigs in the early 2000s, Mojo successfully pursued a Computer Science degree coupled with a minor in Recording Arts, which re-engaged him with his aspiration to create music of his own. While dropping mixes in a variety of styles is still on the agenda, Mojo Rising is now primarily focused on production and remix work.

Surrounded by beautiful landscapes across the country and a very important volcanic chain, we find the biggest and most cosmopolitan country of Central America: Guatemala. Guatemala City is live, full of colors, flavors, textures; it is simply a welcoming country full of history, romance and mystery. Guatemala is a country with historical roots and a young heart as well.
Here you can enjoy the wonders of nature, biodiversity, ecotourism, sun, beaches, volcanoes, adventure, mayan and colonial cities, local culture and traditions, as well as an exquisite cuisine. We warmly WELCOME YOU!
The North and West is bordered by Mexico, the Southwest by the Pacific Ocean, the Northeast by Belize, the East by Caribbean, and the Southeast by Honduras and El Salvador.
Guatemala has an excellent weather throughout the year. This is the reason why Guatemala is known as the "Land of Never Ending Spring".
We have a warm weather on the coast 25-35 °C, a cold weather in the Altiplano 10-25 °C and a temperate weather in Antigua 20-27 °C.
Guatemala City
Political Division:
22 Departments
14 million (i.e. INE site: http://www.ine.gob.gt/np/poblacion/index.htm)
The official language is Spanish, however, there are 23 local languages and regional dialects; from which 21 are Mayan, one Garífuna, and one Xinca.
Our Coffee:
It is well known that Guatemala has the world's best coffee. For many years coffee was our number one export product, also in revenue. A very important factor that helped was the incomparable weather, the altitude, and soil, characteristics that give that unique and special flavor to our coffee. There are five main regions where the best coffee is grown: Antigua, Cobán, Huehuetenango, Atitlán and Fraijanes. However, the coffee from Antigua is the one considered as the finest in quality all over the world.
According to the best tasters of the region, top quality coffee must have the best balance between acidity and sweetness. Coffee from Antigua presents such quality due to the altitude of the land where it is grown. This balance in flavor can hardly be found in other coffee regions throughout the country.
Antigua's coffee applies in a 'Genuine' classification, since it presents all seven characteristics (body, sweetness, acidity, taste, aftertaste, fragrance and aroma) given to world wide top quality coffee, being the most important three: aftertaste, fragrance and aroma.

CHAPTER 5: NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (continued)
Meanwhile, the park administration continued to highlight weed control and personnel training. The accumulation of dry weeds in arroyos and along the fences became fire hazards and required constant removal. Superintendent Homer Hastings hired Margarito Lovato and his team to mow undesired plants. In the fall, the New Mexico Highway Department again helped clean the firebreaks along the entrance road and inside the eastern edge of the monument. Also, Hastings conducted a fire control inspection and instructed the employees on the proper use of the fire-fighting equipment. [6] By the end of the 1950s, the monument staff had acquired the basic skills and equipment for fire control.
In managing water resources, Fort Union encountered a different situation. The problem was one of scarcity rather than abundance. The operation of the monument entailed furnishing a supply of water adequate for the needs of both the employees and visitors. A small spring meandering in the gully just west of the Third Fort could not meet the demand of ten-gallon-per-minute. The Park Service had to find other sources. To determine the feasibility of obtaining a ground water supply, the Park Service requested that U.S. Geological Survey study and assess ground water conditions. In addition to the field survey in July 1956, samples of well and spring water were sent to the laboratory in Albuquerque for chemical analysis. After the study, the surveyors affirmed the quality and quantity of ground water in the area. Later they helped select a suitable location for the well. [7]
As the first scientific study of the monument's natural resources, the survey gave people a better understanding of the fort's environment. While they searched for water, geologists examined various aspects of the park's geography, geology, and topography. In December, geologist I. J. Winograd presented a final report on the survey and its conclusions. His thirteen-page document became a collection of information useful for future research. The essential motive of the survey, however, came from a need to acquire water, not from a desire for more knowledge. As soon as fresh, pure water gushed out of the well, the Park Service lost interest in learning more about the area's environment. Accordingly, the Regional Office failed to conduct another scientific study on the natural resources at the monument for another 14 years.
The pragmatic and utilitarian approach to natural resources also guided erosion control and landscaping. Although annual precipitation measured only 18 inches, occasional rainfalls could leave their distinct mark on the once overgrazed land, washing away topsoil and creating small ravines. As a by-product of the ruins stabilization work in 1957, Superintendent Wing initiated efforts at erosion control by dumping unwanted earth and broken bricks into a gully at the northeastern corner of the Third Fort. The work eased the erosion problem for a small section. [8] Except for this experiment, there is no record showing any other erosion control in this early period.
During the construction of support facilities, bulldozers made people realize the need for landscaping. In Wing's view, "a great amount of regrading and reseeding" in the residential and visitor center areas was "required to make the environs of the new homes presentable." [9] Paul Gensemer of Las Vegas received a contract to beautify the natural scenery of the park. Although the Park Service expected him to complete the work before the formal dedication of the monument in June 1959, he did not meet the deadline. By the end of August, with exception of four loads of manure scattered over designated places, no progress occurred. In the following month, the Park Service terminated the contract, and later awarded it to James Vander Sys, a nurseryman from Santa Fe. Securing a number of Apache plum trees, salt bushes, and sumacs in Watrous, he planted them around the new visitor center and the residences. On April 29, 1960, he fulfilled his contract. [10]
Leaking sewer water caused by the inconsistent construction activities was another problem. It remained difficult to get the newly completed sewer lagoons to hold water due to the porous soil in the area. No sooner did the water enter the lagoons than it soaked into the ground. In the spring of 1958, Acting Superintendent George Cattanach made arrangements with Fort Union Ranch to put a dozen horses, loosely roped together, into each lagoon for a few hours to help compact the loose soil on the bottom. This method proved effective, and the lagoons began holding water in a sufficient quantity to permit them to function properly. [11]
The park administration realized the impact of nature on cultural resources. Wind, rain, snow, hail, drought, and fire threatened the historic structures at Fort Union. To protect the ruins, the monument staff had to pay attention to the area's natural resources. Although none of them had any formal training in natural resource management, their daily actions, as mentioned above, benefited the environment. Meanwhile, the fort sought to collect weather information by recording daily temperatures, wind speeds, and precipitation. In May 1957, Fort Union began submitting monthly precipitation reports to the Albuquerque Office of the U.S. Weather Bureau, in the hope of encouraging a systematic study of the climate of the Mora Valley. [12]
The monument carried on its traditional trouble-shooting strategy for handling natural resources into the 1960s. In the new decade, this passive and reactionary attitude still dominated all the decision-making processes. As long as the ruins and other man-made structures were safe, there remained no clear agenda for natural resource management. This did not forestall the fort administration in improving its ability in certain fields such as fire control. For example, in 1960 an additional tank and slip-on pump arrived at the fort, supplementing the existing fire equipment. Six years later, a new fire attack unit consisting of a 110-gallon water container and a one-horsepower pump replaced all existing equipment, which had proved unreliable in cold weather. [13]
Meanwhile, weed control efforts continued. The maintenance crew constantly inspected and cleaned the fire-breaks. Sometimes they had to work extra hours due to excessive weeds and grass caused by unusually wet weather. In August 1963, about six inches of rain fell, damaging the fire-break and the service roads north and east of the Third Fort. The maintenance crew quickly repaired them but correcting the soil erosion was beyond the park's capabilities. Again in 1965, more than 22 inches of precipitation, 15 percent above normal, resulted in abundant plant growth, which became a fire hazard. After failing to control weed growth in the summer, the maintenance workers had to conduct a controlled burn inside the foundation outlines of the historic buildings. [14]

The Red Cross was in Margate Tuesday afternoon to accept a generous donation from supporters of Lucy the Elephant.
Lucy the elephant suffered minor damage following Hurricane Sandy and as a result, developed a tee shirt to help offset the cost of repairs.
The "I'm still standing" tee shirts sold better then expected and now the Lucy the Elephant Organization was able to donate a portion of it's sales to the American Red Cross at a luncheon Tuesday.
"We are a charity, and that's how we survive by people giving to us. But as I said sometimes there's a bigger picture. It's a way of saying thanks that Lucy was spared the brunt of the storm, she's still standing strong and will be here for many more generations to come," said Rich Helfant, Executive Director of Lucy the Elephant.
The Lucy the Elephant Organization expects to present the Red Cross with more money in the future from the tee shirt sales.

ASHEVILLE Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had never heard of Mark Price, one of the Charlotte Bobcats new assistant coaches.
But young players often watch Hardwood Classics, an NBA-produced show that features some of the great games of all time. Bobcats owner Michael Jordan appears on Hardwood Classics as often as the basketball teams at North Carolina and Duke appear on network TV. When Jordan played for Chicago he did some of his best work against Prices Cleveland Cavaliers.
Thats Jordan up there above the rim. Closer to the ground is Price, a 6-foot (almost) point guard. Price was a deft passer (an average of 6.7 assists during his career) with one of the truest shots in NBA history.
Price, 49, played 12 seasons. He made first-team all-NBA in 1993 and four times played in the NBA all-star game.
But he retired in 1998. Kidd-Gilchrist was born in 1993.
Im getting texts from players saying, Coach, I saw you do this, Coach, I saw you do that, Price says Wednesday from a courtside chair at Kimmel Arena after the Bobcats practice. Fame is fleeting, we all know that. Guys will say, Hey you were fast. I know I dont look like much now. People look at me and say, He played in the NBA?
In pickup games, Price looked like the guy youd volunteer to guard.
If he can pass his shooting wisdom on to the Bobcats, hell look like an exceptional hire.
Last season Charlotte shot 42.5 percent, last in the NBA. Price shot 47.2 percent for his career.
Last season Charlotte shot 75 percent from the line, 18th in the NBA. Price shot 90.4 percent for his career.
Last season, Charlotte shot 33.5 percent from the three-point line, 27th in the 30-team league. Price shot 40.2 percent for his career.
You can impart some of it, Price says. Ive worked with a lot of guys and helped a lot of guys. And every guy is a little bit different. I think you can help guys be good shooters. I dont know that you can help guys be great shooters.
You become a great shooter not simply with great form, exceptional balance and a quick release.
Says Price: I remember one reporter said, OK, so you miss six shots in a row, what are you thinking? I said Im thinking of making my next six. He said, Yeah? Yeah. Thats the mentality I had to have. I believe in the way I shoot the ball so I had the confidence that even if I missed a few shots the next shot was going in.
Prices father coached basketball. When the elder Price was an assistant with the Phoenix Suns, Price would go to games consumed by what he saw.
It was funny, he says. My mom would say most 10-year-olds are antsy and run around and dont pay attention to the game. She said I would sit and really watch everything that went on and go home and try to emulate guys.
A basket was attached to the top of the garage and Price would shoot until the ball was lost in the evening sky.
Were you the best shooter in the NBA?
Well, in my own mind, yeah, he says.
He looks uncomfortable so I add: Price says modestly.
There were a lot of good shooters back then but I think if you dont believe youre the best youll never be the best, he says. I would have put my marksmanship against anybody. Seemed like there were really good shooters, more back then than even today.
Who was the competition? Price names Larry Bird and Dell Curry. Curry, who like price is 49, is a Bobcats TV commentator.
If youre the best shooter in the NBA, youre probably the best shooter in the world.
I guess I hadnt really thought about it much in those terms, says Price.
Price worked with Bostons Rajon Rondo, who had no shot when he came out of Kentucky. Rondo shot 41.8 percent as a rookie and 49.2 percent his second season. Price works extensively with Kidd-Gilchrist, a second-year player also out of Kentucky.
Its more technique oriented with them, says Price. They have some flaws in the technique of their shot so Im trying to help them get to a better place.
The off-season is when Price performs major surgery. Training camp is more outpatient. Shots are amended, not destroyed, confidence enhanced, not shattered.
Says Kidd-Gilchrist as he walks to the teams bus: We work every night and every day. I trust him. He trusts me.
Price also works with point guard Kemba Walker. He says Walkers technique is pretty good. With him, its footwork, balance, being prepared to shoot the ball. I guess I can relate to Kemba because his game reminds me a little bit of the way I played. I feel like I can really help him see some things he hasnt seen before.
When the Bobcats have shooting contests, who wins?
Probably Ben Gordon, says Price. Bens a really good shooter.
Could you or Curry handle him?
Well, Bens in a groove right now, says Price.
Price doesnt want to say it, but he has to.
In our prime? Price asks. Thats another thing.

"Rarely photographed" does not accurately describe Emily Dickinson. There is exactly one authenticated photo of the famously reclusive poet — a daguerreotype showing her as a teenager in 1847. But a second photo believed to be Dickinson has just surfaced, and scholars are excited.
"Emily Dickinson is an icon in American literary history, but our image of her has been frozen," says Martha Nell Smith, a professor at the University of Maryland who is credited with bringing the new image to light. "This powerfully changes our image of Dickinson."

This is what we did this Christmas.
Went to our city's light parade, and the lighting of our Tumbleweed Tree (yep, a Christmas tree made of Arizona desert tumbleweeds). Wey hey, Father Christmas rode the fire engine!
Loaded up the car with duvets, Christmas music (sang along to this badly not knowing half the words, but half the fun is annoying Goth Child (who always knows all the words) in this way), snacks, hot chocolates and Christmas Lights Bingo cards and went on our annual Christmas lights safari.
Decorated our main tree with help from my 'best' helper Luca Brasi.
I have 8 trees around the house now of varying sizes...one 9', one white 7', 3 green 6', 1 green 3', 1 green 1' and Goth Child has a Charlie Brown 'twig' tree complete with red bauble.....one day I plan to have a Christmas tree in every room.....on the look out for inflatable trees for bathrooms for next year.
Every year the kids choose a new special tree ornament for our main tree....this year, Goth Child got a steampunk reindeer and Melchett got a Power Ranger (well all of them assembled actually). This tells you everything you need to know about my kids.
We did our Christmas jigsaw as per usual. Father Christmas can't come until it's done. We cut it fine this year finishing on Christmas Eve....but we had furry help.
We tracked Father Christmas's progress on Christmas Eve (with a little help from NORAD Santa Tracking apps).
We made more snowflakes, assembled terrible looking IKEA gingerbread houses (our fault not theirs.....our gingerbread houses used to look so pretty when I did them for the 3-4-5 year old Goth Child ;) still it's the making not the end result that's important on these things), played darts, danced the polka to Bob Dylan's Must Be Santa (yes, I have a leopard print onesie), put up our Father Christmas mantlepiece display....
Did our traditional opening of Christmas stocking on Christmas Day (the small gifts Father Christmas leaves during the night), pulled Goth Child off the computer from checking her replies on Deviant Art and as per usual went in pyjamas to the drive-through for coffee/hot chocolates.
Opened main presents after breakfast....can you tell Father Christmas brought what Goth Child and Melchett asked for?
Had a slap up Christmas dinner (turkey for the meat eaters, chestnut bourguignon pie for me, with yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, brussel sprouts, roast parsnips, carrots, peas, paxo stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce).
Played board games, watched Morecambe & Wise, and Porridge, Dad's Army, The Great Escape, The Sound of Music and lots of other very British things.....slept......and all fought off horrid colds.
A perfect Christmas :)

July 4 -- on a hammock or stuck at work?
Friday - 7/4/2014, 2:00am EDT
And, if today finds you at work, that's good too. Maybe not for you, but certainly for us. Because what you are doing and where you are doing it is probably good for our health, safety and security. Even if we can't see you.
Most media outlets find that readers, listeners and viewers drop off on holidays, which makes sense. So we are saving the good stuff for next week, when lots of us will be back to work. Enjoy today and check it out tomorrow.
Happy holiday. Check this space next week.

When the music for the "Star Spangled Banner" was first published, the opening words "O" and "say" were written as the same note. It's unclear when the anthem's opening evolved to the two-note, minor-third descending interval we all know today.

OMB to reward employees who receive positive customer service reviews
One of the Office of Management and Budget's cross-agency priority goals is to bring customer service more in line with private sector experiences. OMB says it wants to focus on front-line personnel in these efforts. The plan indicates the award structure will be completed over the next few months and be ready to launch by the first quarter of 2015.

Well, this is a lovely way to wake up. A 29-year-old woman in Florida allegedly burst into her ex-boyfriend's home, found him sleeping in bed with another woman, lit the mattress of fire, then laughed at them from outside the fire ring as the two clamored to get out. Ex-Boyfriend and Current Girlfriend managed to escape unscathed, so yay for happy endings, but dude, what hell is wrong with this woman? To light your ex's bed on fire is bad enough. But to stand on the outside "taunting" them like some kind of demon takes things to a whole new level of banaynay.
The woman, Nicole Dobol, apparently went to a place called Hog Heaven Bar and Grill to find her ex's roommate. When she found him, Nicole inquired as to where her ex was, and he told her that he was at home. (Thanks, roomie!) Apparently, the fire was still blazing when Roommate got home. He said that the reason Nicole set fire to the mattress was because it "made her crazy" to see her ex with another woman. Think so?
Look. Clearly, this woman -- "if she did commit this crime" -- isn't right. A normal person doesn't torch an ex's mattress while he's in it. A normal person stalks their ex on Facebook, and considers getting hair extensions. That said, though, maybe, just maybe, if Nicole would have waited a few minutes before rushing over like a bat out of hell from Hog Heaven, she wouldn't have ("allegedly") done this. Heck, maybe if she hung out at Hog Heaven a little while longer, she would have met some nice boy that took her mind off of her ex.
So many of these asinine, insane crimes are done in the heat (heh) of the moment. If people would just wait a god-dang second and cool off a bit, they could spare everyone -- including themselves -- a lot.
What did Nicole gain from this? Aside from a likely stint in jail, not much. Think before you torch, kids.
What do you think of this?

thats messed up, she should serve life in prison
It sounds like he had a perfectly legitimate reason to make her his 'ex' in the first place. Crazy doesn't just rear it's ugly head out of the blue. And, as for her waiting at the bar to find a nice guy, why in the world would you wish this women on a decent fellow?

Red State Idaho Embraces Obamacare Insurance Exchange -- Reluctantly
"There is an independent spirit of Idahoans and we are rising to the challenge," Amy Dowd, the exchange executive director, says in her office across from the Capitol. The office is so new that the sign on the front door is written on 8 x 10 paper, the cream colored walls are bare and printers sit in their boxes.
Working with a $20 million federal planning grant, the exchange has plenty to do to be ready to open for enrollment Oct 1, with coverage to take effect Jan. 1. By mid-August it hopes to choose a name, a website address and a logo. It also must train insurance agents and other groups how to use the site, and state regulators must approve the health plans.
A lot is a stake. About 200,000 of Idaho's 1.6 million residents will be eligible to buy coverage in the exchange which will also sell insurance to small businesses. While the state has some of the lowest insurance costs in the nation, it has an 18 percent uninsured rate, higher than the national average.
Blue Cross of Idaho has already launched a web site called GetcoveredIdaho.com to publicize the new exchange and plans to work with community groups, local colleges and the state's library system to promote it. Spokeswoman Karen Early said that like residents in most states, Idahoans are confused about how the exchange will work.
If the exchange is successful, proponents -- including some Republican lawmakers and employers -- say it could help persuade skeptical lawmakers to expand Medicaid, the other central piece of Obamacare, expected to come up again next year.
Rep. Fred Wood, a retired emergency room physician who heads the Idaho House Health and Welfare Committee, says lawmakers came to the realization this spring they could no longer fight Obamacare. "The fact is, that gig is up and it's going to happen, so let's make sure we do it our way, not someone else's way," he says.
Wood's daughter, Ashley, is one of nearly 300,000 uninsured state residents. She works as a bartender nearly 40 hours a week at Bardenay, a restaurant-distillery in downtown Boise, but has not been offered coverage. "I worry about it as I'm now 30 and getting to the time in my life to have babies," she says as the weekday lunch crowd gathered.
She says the lowest price insurance she's found is $175 a month and that's too expensive for her. She hopes to find a better price through the exchange.
Employers with more than 50 full-time employees like Bardenay owner Kevin Settles will be required to offer coverage under the health law beginning in 2015.
Settles, who is on the exchange board of directors, says the mandate would require him to offer insurance to about 60 employees, including Wood.

In Mississippi, food is celebrated with the four F's -- festivals, fairs, families, and friends. The Magnolia State shares much of its culinary heritage with other Southern states, including Louisiana. Vacationers will be able to find great down home favorites served throughout the state.
Historic Eats
The first explorers to visit the northern region of the state were French fur traders who established trade in local Native American villages. Their diets consisted of much of the same foods as the Native Americans, including mush made from fish, brier root, and wild game. Around 1700, the first permanent settlement was established in the area, and the settlers received other foods from the nearby tribes, such as chicken. Like the French who settled in New Orleans, those who moved to Biloxi learned to use local ingredients in their cuisine. For instance, fish stews were made with redfish, green peppers, and various wild herbs, as well as carrots, celery, okra, and parsley. Other kinds of stews were popular as well, using many of the same basic ingredients. Tomatoes weren't used in local cooking until after the Revolutionary War, as the state's culinary styles changed.
Many of Mississippi's culinary styles are derived from the Creole culture, as in Louisiana. Even though French cuisine in the U.S. is most associated with New Orleans, French culinary styles also played an important role in plantation cooking in Mississippi. Antebellum manor-house cuisine included rich sauces and ambrosial desserts, served with meals that were exhibited in a spectacular fashion. On Mississippi plantations, most days began with a cup of strong, piping hot, black coffee. Catfish dinners were served with ample sides of turnip greens prepared with salted pork, corn bread, and spicy red beans and rice.
Coastal Cuisine
In the U.S., catfish production is a $450 million a year industry. Mississippi supplied 350 million pounds, or 55 percent of the U.S.'s catfish production in 2005, making catfish farming a very large part of the Magnolia State's economy. In Belzoni, known as the "Catfish Capital of the World," visitors can actually experience the "pond to plate" process. As a major supplier of catfish in the U.S., it's not surprising that catfish recipes have greatly added to the state's culinary styles. Before large-scale commercial catfish farms and aquaculture arrived in the Magnolia State, locals stocked their kitchens and fish-fry events with catfish they'd caught with cane poles in rivers. Along with fried chicken, sweet tea, and hush puppies, fried catfish is a Southern favorite. Pan-fried and deep-fried are two popular ways of preparing fried catfish. Aside from the frying pan, Mississippi catfish recipes run the gamut, from apricot-mustard crusted catfish to stewed catfish.
Oyster, shrimp, crab, and red snapper are also popular seafood items that can be found on menus throughout the state.
Southern Sweets
Named for its resemblance to the banks of the Mississippi River, the Mississippi Mud Pie is a chocolate, gooey treat which originated in the Magnolia State and gained international popularity, most likely because of the ample amount of chocolate used in each serving. The ingredients of this superbly sweet treat include a plenteous portion of sticky chocolate filling on top of a crumbly chocolate crust, usually served with ice cream. Food historians believe that Southern cooks created this dessert dish after World War II because the ingredients were readily available at local supermarkets, and the recipe doesn't require any special tools for cooking.
Pecan trees thrive in southern U.S. states, including Mississippi, which boasts the world's largest pecan nursery in Lumberton. A number of delicious desserts are made from the indigenous nut. A favorite dessert item in the South, pecan pie is a popular sweet treat in Mississippi. Pralines, a French confection, are a favorite candy, made with pecans (or almonds and hazel nuts). The nuts are caramelized, then tossed with powdered sugar.
The Magnolia State produced approximately 238 million pounds of sweet potatoes in the year 2003, and Vardama is often referred to as the sweet potato capital of the world. Black slaves in the South recognized the sweet potato as being very similar to the yams of Africa, and they developed many sweet potato recipes from their traditional cuisine. While plenty of savory dishes feature sweet potatoes, sweet potato pie is an especially beloved recipe. Sweet potatoes are peeled, cleaned, and sliced, then stewed until they're soft. They are then finely mashed and seasoned with butter, sugar, cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon. After adding eggs, the mixture is baked in a pie shell, created a delicious dessert.
Food Fairs and Festivals
Mississippians celebrate the art of eating with a number of fairs and festivals held at various times throughout the state. For all the catfish you can eat, head to Belzoni for the Annual World Catfish Festival in April. Fill up on more tasty seafood in Biloxi at the Annual Crawfish Fest or the Biloxi Seafood Festival. For a unique twist on burgers, check out the Slugburger Festival in Corinth. And for more contemporary American favorites there's the Kansas City Hog Wild Barbecue Festival and Chili Today and Hot Tamale Festival.
With all of the great nightlife and activities to be enjoyed in Mississippi, you're sure to work up an appetite on your vacation. What better way to satisfy your hunger than with the traditional down home cooking of the Magnolia State? Satiate your cravings at local fine restaurants or at one of the state's culinary celebrations where you're sure to find delicious fare.

Overview | Key measures | Budget round up | Outlook for public finances and the economy
Corporate Tax Reform
Main rate of corporation tax will be reduced from 28% to 24% over the course of four financial years from April 2011. The small profits rate will be reduced to 20%.
Tax Policy
The government published a new plan to change the way the government proposes, consults on, legislates, implements and evaluates changes to the tax system.
As part of its five-year plan for reforming corporation tax, HMT will begin a series of consultations on the taxation of foreign profits, intellectual property and research and development.
Capital Allowances
Reduction in the rate of capital allowances from 20% to 18%, and for longer life assets from 10% to 8% from April 2012. The Annual Investment Allowance was reduced from £100,000 to £25,000 per year from April 2012.
Capital Gains Tax
Rate of capital gains tax has been increased for higher-rate tax payers, to 28%. Annual exemption of £10,000. Entrepreneurs' relief increased to £5 million in lifetime capital gains.
National Insurance Contributions
The Government inherited plans for National Insurance rates to increase by 1 per cent in April 2011. The effect of the employer rate rise will be largely reversed by increasing the threshold for employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs) by £21 a week above indexation.
Energy taxation
The Government will assess how the energy tax framework can provide the right incentives for investment and will publish proposals to reform the climate change levy in order to provide more certainty and support to the carbon price. Subject to consultation, the Government intends to bring forward relevant legislation in Finance Bill 2011.
Green Investment Bank
Following the Spending Review, the Government will put forward proposals on the creation of a Green Investment Bank to help the UK low-carbon investment. The Government will consider a wide range of options for the bank's scope and structure.
Retirement age
The Government will review when to increase State Pension Age to 66. The Government will also consult on phasing out the default retirement age from April 2011.
The coalition had certainly prepared the ground for the raft of tough measures this Budget would bring forward in order to get the public finances back into the black. But the Chancellor not only needed a deficit reduction plan that was achievable, he needed to present one which supported longer term economic growth and investment.
Public finances back on track
public sector net borrowing (£bn)
Source: HM Treasury
The numbers speak for themselves on the first objective. Last week the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast an even larger structural deficit in the public finances than previously expected. But significant cuts to welfare budgets, a new bank levy, cuts to investment allowances and an increase in VAT were among the measures announced today to help plug the gap.
On the spending side, the government are sticking the savage cuts to capital budgets announced by the previous government. And while individual department spending totals won't be revealed until the Autumn, Ministers will be spending the Summer identifying cuts of around 25% of their budgets.
Not all the revenue raised will be used to pay down the deficit as there were some giveaways for lower income households and pensioners and the Chancellor stuck with his pre-election pledge to cut the headline rate of corporation tax, choosing to do it over time rather than in one hit. Together the measures will bring public sector net borrowing down to 2% of GDP by the end of the parliament. It was an aggressive deficit reduction plan, but one that looks to be deliverable.
We are less convinced that the measures will also deliver the longer-term, better balanced growth the economy needs. The Chancellor stated that business investment and exports need to make a greater contribution to growth, but the cuts to investment allowances are at odds with this. The headline rate of corporation tax provides only one signal that the UK is open for business. For smaller companies investing in modern machinery after April 2012, there will be cashflow consequences from the change that will hurt their ability to reinvest in their own competitiveness.

" It's a lot of fun just being able to play with those two guys, and creating a lot of chances together is also a lot of fun. Obviously it could have been intimidating for me playing with those two guys, but I saw it as an exciting opportunity instead. "
- Carl Hagelin
" It's a lot of fun when you can put up a lot of scoring chances like we did, and score goals, important goals. When we are doing that we are not spending a lot of time in our zone, which is good, too. We just have to build on this. "
- Marian Gaborik
