The Putnam County Commission voted unanimously Monday night to allow the phrase "In God we Trust" to hang over the county courthouse.
Commissioner Steve Pierce told Nashville's News 2 work will now begin on a suitable design plan to put up the phrase.
The idea originated with Colonial View Baptist Church Pastor Al Gaspard.
Gaspard said taxpayers will not foot the bill and he hopes to raise enough money to pay for the added signage.
In November of 2011 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the official national motto of the United States.
Putnam County attorney Jeffrey Jones said the resolution also supports and encourages the phrase publicly in all public buildings, public schools and government institutions.

Smashmouth Football Still Wins and Other Things We Learned From Week 3 in College Football
It was a big week in college football as we saw our first real upsets of the season, an exciting, down-to-the-wire SEC matchup and one defeat snatched away from the jaws of a massive upset victory. While spread offenses and 50+ passes a game may be the flavor of the month in college football, sometimes it's no match for good ol' smashmouth football.
Second-ranked Texas defeated No.21 Arizona 25-19, 25-21, 25-20 in the Longhorns' home opener Friday night in the 26 West Longhorn Classic at Gregory Gym. After getting blown out in the second half by BYU, Texas goes to AT&T Stadium to face #12 UCLA.

Offensive line, running backs must step up for Texas
The Texas offensive line doubled its starts in one game. The Longhorns enter this weekend's game with the same line that had started just five games before facing BYU, so the issue will continue to be their youth and inexperience.
Depleted Texas offense struggling to keep up

Everton Under-21s begin their new league season against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday evening (7pm kick off).
The young Blues travel to Telford's New Bucks Head Stadium after completing their four-match pre-season schedule with a game in Spain last week.
Coach Alan Stubbs is hopeful that his side can continue the promise shown in the second half of last season from the outset this term.
The Under-21s strung together an unbeaten 16-match sequence between November and May before losing out to Tottenham in the play-off semi-finals.
Stubbs will definitely be without Luke Garbutt for Monday's match, with the left-back away on international duty with England Under-21s.
He told evertontv: "All the matches seemed to be tough. You see from last year that the standard has risen and it will be no different.
"Wolves have obviously been on the back of two relegations which, from a club point of view, is a disaster. They will still have a lot of younger players and, if anything, they will put the emphasis on these players coming through.
"We'll go there and, as always, we'll concentrate on what we do rather than what the other teams do. We'll go there, know our job and know what is expected of us.
"If we can have anything like the level we had last season with our performances and results then we will be very happy."
For a second year in succession, the Premier League have revamped the format of the second-string competition.
Last season's three-tiered setup has been scrapped and replaced with a 22-team league in which clubs play each other once, either home or away.
Once all 21 fixtures have been completed, the top four sides will advance to a semi-final and final stage.
Additionally, each team is obliged to play at least three matches at their home first team venue.
However, the element of the new format which excites Under-21s coach Stubbs the most is the reintroduction of the north-west derbies.
He said: "No matter what the format will be and what it turns out to be, there are going to be clubs that are happy and not happy with it.
"I feel a bit sorry for the Premier League sometimes because no matter what they do they are [perceived] as the bad guys.
"I think it's good this year we are playing Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City. It was a bit strange as they are the closest clubs to us but we didn't play them at all last season."
Follow the action in Monday's match with regular updates on the Club's official Twitter account. Catch highlights on evertontv later this week.

Just appearing as a woman online, it seems, can be enough to inspire abuse. In 2006, researchers from the University of Maryland set up a bunch of fake online accounts and then dispatched them into chat rooms. Accounts with feminine usernames incurred an average of 100 sexually explicit or threatening messages a day. Masculine names received 3.7.

Is she less heavy for lovers?… Many a starmust have been there for you so you might feel it… Isn't it time that, loving,we freed ourselves from the beloved, and, trembling, enduredas the arrow endures the bow, so as to be, in its flight,something more than itself? For staying is nowhere… The eternal currentsweeps all the ages, within it, through both the spheres,forever, and resounds above them in both… First music ventured to penetrate arid rigidity,so that, in startled space, which an almost godlike youthsuddenly left forever, the emptiness first feltthe quivering that now enraptures us, and comforts, and helps. ~Rainer Maria Rilke, from the Duino Elegies #rainer maria rilke #duino elegies #elegy one #universe #stars #cosmos

Shank 2 Review *UPDATED*(Windows PC)
Posted by Jeff Lindsey (Piso_mojado), Feb 24, 2012 00:31
*UPDATED* It was discovered after the review was written that the Origin version of the game has graphical glitches that the Steam version doesn't have. Also the friends can not play online together if one has a Steam copy and the other has an Origin copy. The score was updated to reflect this discovery.
When Shank found his way to computers and consoles across the globe, he left his mark. We have games with cartoon style graphics, beat-em-up side scrollers, and games with lots and lots of violence, but the original Shank game blended all of these variables together into something amazing. You could string together never ending combos with some insanely cool moves and hold a guy down as you shot his friends. By the time that I discovered the move where you grab a guy and shove a grenade in his mouth, I was hooked. Shank also had a compelling story that followed him of love, betrayal, and revenge.
Naturally, when I found out that Shank 2 was coming out and that they were changing some of the gameplay mechanics, I was excited. New moves, new combos, new weapons, new game modes; I was prepared for a great sequel. What I got was a remake that pales in comparison to the first Shank title.
Once upon a Time…The End!
When ever possible, I begin my reviews with a few paragraphs that cover the storyline and key plot elements. Sadly, the story of Shank 2 is almost completely emotionless and highly forgettable. Shank 2 opens on with Shank sitting down on a bus somewhere in South America. When someone picks a fight you slice off their hand and go to war. And that is pretty much it. You are just helping people by stabbing the crap out of anyone who stands in your way. There is a story, but it is just bland compared to Shank 1.
Gameplay Mechanics in Shank 2
As expected, Shank 2 plays best with a controller. The basic control layout is the same. The thumb stick controls movement, shoulder buttons grab, pounce, and lob grenades, and the face buttons jump and use your 3 weapon classes (shanks, melee weapons, and long range weapons). Those of you how played the first game will have no trouble jumping right into Shank 2. Gamers who are new to the franchise, will pick up the controls quickly through the use of in-game prompts as opposed to a separate tutorial.

STOR-i Seminar: Nedialko Dimitrov
Nedialko Dimitrov, Naval Postgraduate School
Friday 17 January 2014, 1200-1300
A54, Postgraduate Statistics Centre Lecture Theatre
Goal-oriented Design of Influenza Surveillance
The CDC employs a suite of data streams to achieve the multi-faceted goals of influenza surveillance: influenza-like-illness surveillance network (ILINet), IISP, WHO Labs, NRVSS. The data streams in many of these systems were largely assembled out of convenience or intuitive first principles.
As a result, the main challenge is how to use the available data to achieve existing and emerging surveillance goals. Next generation data streams such as Google Flu Trends are now also available. It is unclear which data streams are best to incorporate: some are expensive, others provide noisy data, others yet are unreliable.
In this presentation, we discuss a systematic process of design for influenza surveillance. Instead of constraining surveillance by convenience sampling, our process defines and selects the best available data through a four step process:
- Formalize surveillance objectives
- Specify candidate data sources
- Simulate data where none exists
- Select the most informative data sources
We present an example of this process by constructing a multi-objective influenza surveillance network in Texas. We also discuss ongoing efforts to introduce statistical guarantees into the national influenza surveillance system.

It's funny how, when I hear Zac wake up for the 7th time at night, I immediately think, ugggh, I need to fix this bad sleep bullshit.
But when I go into his room and lay down next to him, I forget about it.
All I can think about is how perfectly his little body fits in between the space of my bent knee and my chest. His little arm stretches out and grabs on to my shirt, holding me tight while he searches for his comfort, before drifting back off to sleep.
He won't always fit here. And one day our breastfeeding relationship will be over.
I hate myself sometimes, especially in these moments, for even thinking about sleep training.
I know that his sleep needs some fixing, he's completely reliant on nursing to sleep. And wakes up every single sleep cycle, which is hard on both of us.
But I just don't want to say goodbye to these moments. And if he does ever sleep through the night, not requiring nursing to fall asleep, these moments will stop. And soon he will be too big to fit in the space between my bent knee and my chest. His arms won't be little. And maybe he won't need me as much.

MONTREAL – It's never too early to talk about the NHL's trade deadline in Canada, so coach Pete DeBoer knew he would have to address the subject on this road trip.
It's not like he or his players haven't been thinking about it anyway.
With the Panthers in their usual spot of looking up at the final playoff spot with envy, DeBoer and the Panthers know they can't afford too many more losses before general manager Dale Tallon begins tearing things down a little earlier than some players may like.
Those Panthers who want to stick around didn't help their cause with Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Montreal at Bell Center. The Panthers had a chance in the past two nights to pick up some serious ground but pulled one point closer to the postseason. With wins in Toronto and Montreal, the Panthers would have picked up four points.
Instead, the Panthers continue to trail Atlanta by seven points for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference. Florida has lost seven of the past eight and three straight.
If Tallon hasn't been making calls before, well .-.-.
"It's not a distraction. It's a motivator,'' DeBoer said before the loss. "It's been very clear that in four weeks from now, this thing is going to go one of two ways. It's our job as players and coaches to make the decision very hard on Dale. These are desperate times for the Florida Panthers.''
Afterward, DeBoer admitted it was tough to watch opportunities continue to slip away.
"It's hard. What do you want me to say? I'm not going to hang myself,'' he said. "It's frustrating. This is a tough league and we're a team with some depth issues. We have young kids playing some key positions. They are working hard but it's not translating into points. .-.-. The fact we're not 2-0 or winning every night, well, I don't know if that's realistic.''
As usual, the Panthers played a good defensive game and held a 1-0 lead on the Canadiens. Only the slim lead didn't last, and Montreal got a fluke goal midway through the third and held on for the win.
With 14:14 remaining in a tie game, Montreal's Tomas Plekanec took aim at Tomas Vokoun as Brian Gionta was crashing the net. The puck struck the bottom of Stephen Weiss' skate as he was trying the stop and bounced past Vokoun and into the net. Gionta scored a bit later to make it 3-1.
"I don't know what to say. It's just frustrating,'' said a sullen Weiss, who pulled Florida within one by scoring with 2:10 left. "We play hard, we just have to be better at finding ways to win. That's the bottom line. We make one mistake and it ends up in our net, every single time. A turnover here, it's in the net. Deflection? In the net. We worked our butts off all night around the net and got nothing. We just have to stay with it.''
Gionta later scored Montreal's third of the night as he jammed in a loose puck. That became the game-winning goal after Weiss pulled Florida to within one with 2:10 remaining after banging in a rebound off a Michael Frolik shot.
The Panthers took a 1-0 lead in the first period when rookie center Scott Timmins picked up his first NHL goal after knocking in a rebound off a shot from Rostislav Olesz. Timmins, 21, made his NHL debut on Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.
The Panthers have one of the top penalty kill units in the league this season and they were put to the test Wednesday. Montreal, which scored two power play goals in Sunrise on New Year's Eve, trapped the Panthers into two penalties early in the first and two (both on Dennis Wideman) late in the second.
Montreal didn't score on any of its five power play chances.
-- The Panthers may have lost rookie winger Evgeny Dadonov for an extended period of time as he broke a finger late in the first period on Wednesday. Dadonov, Florida's lone representative at All-Star Weekend, started off with two goals and six assists in his first eight games. He has no points in his past eight games.
Florida may call up a forward from its AHL affiliate in Rochester, N.Y., to play Friday in New Jersey.
The Panthers penalty kill has helped the team stay at least within sight of a playoff spot. Florida ended last year with the 23rd-ranked penalty kill in the league; it came into Wednesday's game ranked eighth. Florida has given up just 26 goals on 166 chances this season.
One big help to the power play has been the fact that they don't have to work too hard. The Panthers came into Wednesday as the league's lowest penalized team, taking an average of eight minutes of penalties per night through the first 50 games.
-- Steve Bernier has been in DeBoer's doghouse the past few weeks. After not scoring in 20 straight games, the veteran winger was banished to the press box as DeBoer scratched him from the past three games.
Bernier was back on the ice Wednesday as the native of Quebec City was put in the lineup against the Canadiens. Bernier spent most of his time on the fourth line on Wednesday.
"Same as anyone: He dug himself that hole and he knows why he's sat for three straight games,'' DeBoer said Tuesday. "When he gets the opportunity, he needs to make the most of it. He's played some good hockey for us for a stretch early. Then his game fell off. He's not the only one. We have an extra body around right now so the desperation has to be there.''

smae old broken record
Why does it seem that no matter what, the Panthers always kill off more penalties than their opponent in any given game? The refs may tend to put away the whistle when they see a Panthers jersey, but I think only a few games that the Panthers have had a PP advangate over their opponent.
Of course, considering how abysmal their PP is, I may just not be paying close enough attention.
the reason the panthers don't get more power plays is that you have to force the defense to make mistakes and take penalties.
the panthers don't win the battles in the corners, they don't crash the nets and they don't stand in the slot.
Meanwhile, on our end, we lose the battles in the corners, the other teams crash the nets and they have people in the slot forcing the panthers to take penalties, of course a lot of the time we just aren't there and we give up the rebound goals.
Look at Montreal's goals last night and try and think when you see the panthers consistantly being in position to knock in the garbage/rebound goals. It is very rare for the panthers.
what else is new with this team? same old panthers. I hope Tallon has some magic up his sleeve at the trade deadline.
On the bright side, Ellerby w/Kulikov looks like a good d pairing. Ellerby is hitting and making plays. I wonder if he has beaten Weaver on the depth chart yet. Weaver seems like a weak link on defense, he is unable push guys away from the net.
P.S. Is there going to be anyone left to callup in Rochester at this point?
The one thing that is different this year than the last 10 is Tallon. This team will be blown up in a matter of time. Say goodbye to 6-7 players.
Same Old Panthers is WRONG!!!! Weaver is one of our strong points on defense, and he definately beats out McCabe and Allen in that respect. He is one of the reasons our PK is doing great this year. Yes, he is smaller but he still plays a big man's game!
Are you watching the same game? Weaver is incapable of pushing a defenseman out of Vokoun crease. Weaver is a role player that is all. He will make a nice addition to a Stanley Cup's unit penalty kill maybe... Weaver has been out there for a ton of goals lately too, along with fan favorite Weiss. They both have nothing to be happy about with their recent play. Garisson too!

The WBA have taken the decision to strip their WBA 'super' champion Daniel Geale of his title. Geale was supposed to face Kazakhstan's WBA 'regular' champion, Gennady Golovkin, in his next fight but has instead chosen a more lucrative rematch with fellow Aussie, Anthony Mundine.
Geale still holds the IBF title which he won in May 2011 when he beat Germany's Sebastian Silvester over 12-rounds. Geale lost a controversial split decision to Mundine back in may 2009 and will be out for revenge in the 2013 rematch.

ASHKELON, ISRAEL and HOUSTON, TEXAS—May 24, 2012—GE (NYSE: GE) today announced that it has shipped 12 LM6000-PC Sprint™ aeroderivative gas turbine-generators to the Dorad Energy power plant in Ashkelon, Israel, to fulfill part of its $200 million contract with Wood Group GTS. The plant will play a critical role in enhancing the reliability of Israel's electric system and will be the largest, and one of the first, independent power plants built in Israel since the country deregulated its electricity markets several years ago.
GE expects the 50-megawatt aeroderivative units to begin commercial operation in the second half of 2013. GE's Veresegyház plant, located near Budapest, Hungary, is manufacturing the gas turbine-generators. The Veresegyház plant began operating in 2000 and serves as the foundation of GE's turbine component production in the Central European region.
"Israel's goals in deregulating the power industry were to increase electricity supplies, decrease prices and spur technological innovation, and we are proud to be one of the first tangible results of that plan," said Eli Asulin, general manager, Dorad Energy. "GE is a vital part of that process. GE is not just a supplier of advanced technology but also is a global business leader that understands the many business opportunities we face and works with us as a true partner to help us take advantage of them."
Israel's electric system has minimal reserve margin, or additional capacity at times of high use, and when power demand is extremely high, the potential exists for supply disruptions. GE's LM6000-PC Sprint aeroderivative gas turbine-generators are high-output, high-efficiency units that will be configured so that blocks of them can be turned on and off quickly, with no losses in energy efficiency. This provides both operational flexibility and the unique capability to maintain net plant efficiency in all modes of operation. The plant is a combined-cycle design, meaning it uses hot exhaust from the GE gas turbines to generate steam to power two steam turbine-generators, further increasing plant output at higher efficiencies.
"GE's innovative LM6000-PC Sprint technology solves the problem of how to deliver or remove large amounts of power quickly in response to changing conditions, with the same efficiencies and economics that are found in baseload operation," said Darryl Wilson, vice president—aeroderivative gas turbines for GE Power & Water. "The power produced by these units will help to stabilize the power system upon which Israel's economy depends, and their efficiency and suitability for baseload, cycling or peaking operation will enable Dorad Energy to maximize revenue opportunities."
GE's agreement is with Wood Group GTS, which is the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for Dorad Energy. A unit of John Wood Group PLC, Wood Group GTS also is supplying the steam turbine-generators and related equipment.
End users from various sectors and the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) will purchase the power produced by the plant, and the IEC network will transmit and distribute it. Because of its critical importance, the plant will have the capability of using two different fuels, primarily natural gas but also oil distillates if required.
Customers prefer GE to support Israel's energy infrastructure. For example: within the last six months, GE has received contracts to provide an additional four LM6000 units for various power plant projects in Israel that will be located at Ramle, Ashdod and Ramat Negev, which will increase the total installed base of LM6000 gas turbines in Israel to 17 units.
In a changing world with diverse power needs, GE's portfolio of innovative distributed power solutions, ranging from 100 kilowatts to 100 megawatts, gives businesses and communities around the world the ability to generate reliable and efficient power using a variety of fuels anywhere, whether on or off the grid. GE's distributed power solutions gives customers of all types—from industrial businesses, to developing communities, to government officials managing disaster relief and other emergency power situations—the ability to generate reliable, sustainable power whenever and wherever it is needed. GE's distributed power portfolio includes GE aeroderivative gas turbines, Jenbacher and Waukesha gas engines and waste heat recovery solutions. To view a video of the Dorad plant, please click here.

Barclays Center unveiled a new jobs website this week amidst —of available employment opportunities at the site.
A representative of arena developer Forest City Ratner said that jobseekers would be able to pre-register for positions at brooklynbarclayscenterjobs.com in a hiring process expected to last two months.
Once screened, candidates will be asked back for an in-person interview at job fairs to be held in July and August. The first training sessions for new employees will take place in August, according to FCRC.
Despite an announcement made with great fanfare in April that at Barclays Center, FCRC execs later walked back that figure, saying that 1,240 full-time equivalent jobs would be made available—meaning that most positions at the mega-arena would be part-time.
At a Community Board 6 meeting, FCRC representatives whittled down that jobs number even further, confirming only at the arena.
In an email sent today, FCRC vice president for external affairs Ashley Cotton confirmed plans to give residents of New York City Housing Authority and Brooklyn Community Boards, 2, 3, 6 and 8 preference for jobs.
Graduates of , Brooklyn United For Innovative Local Development (BUILD), will also be given priority, Cotton wrote.

Nani flips out in excitement after his thunderbolt strike
The life of a football fan is a maddening one. Even at 3-0 up I was bobbing around the house with ever increasing nervous energy. You simply can't take a scoreline for granted in these huge games and United certainly kept the game close with some careless passing and flat-footed defending. But a win is a win, especially against Chelsea.
So a fairly typically away performance in our opening Champions League game brings a result that, while nothing to celebrate, is fairly healthy in the context of the group. The most disappointing aspect of the night was how toothless we looked in the final third, although given the team selection – with many players making their first start of the season – that was hardly surprising.
Shuffled pack
With a big match to come at Chelsea it was no shock to see Fergie make sweeping changes to the side, and equally so when it came to the system employed. A 4-5-1/4-3-3 has been standard away practice in Europe for years now, and the philosophy of 'win at home, don't lose away' has served us well, even if it doesn't offer up the most scintillating of performances when not at Old Trafford.
Barely on the pitch two seconds and bags a goal. Good ol' Ji-Sung
Wow. Just wow. These types of scores don't come along often but when they do they give me a fizz in the groin area. Pundits, neutrals and Arsenal fans - when they've woke up from this nightmare - will argue that the Gunners team was full of young, untested players but take nothing away from United, they were simply a force of nature.
It's the first time that Sir Alex has selected the same starting eleven for two games running and also - as Gary Neville pointed out in surprise - that we've gone with a 4-4-2 formation as we usually pack the midfield and play one up top. But we went for it today, and from the first minute we looked in complete control.
From left to right, the ascending order of successfully settling into the squad
After what started out as an authoritative performance from United, the 2-1 scoreline at the end came as a massive relief by the end. We controlled the flow of the play so much that at one stage we had 90% of the possession, but we just couldn't find that second goal. One of the reasons might have been down to the fact that we only had one shot on goal in 90 minutes, but let's not bring facts into this, eh?
What with three being the magic – or at least the Evra's – number and all, it's time to draw our season previews to a close as, unless this weekend's fixtures do get postponed, we're only a couple of days from the big kick-off. So, with the rule comprehensively run over new signings and the defence already, we end with a look at our forward line and, first, the first Scholes-free midfield for over a decade and a half…
If there is an area of concern within the squad, this is it. We're comprehensively stocked in the wide areas, but the centre still looks – literally in Fletcher's case – a little lightweight. Most of the summer's speculation has centred on bringing in a creative hub to replace the departed Scholes (*sniff*), but a look at what we've got would suggest that any remaining transfer business should go the other way.

The stock has come up to my expectations as it was among the top gainers of Nasdaq and closed up 15.74 percent at $1.25 trading more than 8.7 Million shares, well above its average volume.

Everyone Does Not Love Marineland
The Travesty of Zoo Accreditation in Canada
The mayor of the incorrigibly kitschy community of Niagara Falls, Ontario, thinks Marineland, a combination aquarium, zoo and amusement park, takes good care of its animals.
And the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) just gave it a clean bill of health — yep, no problem here. And it just took a day's inspection for CAZA to deal with all that nonsense about lousy food, water and animal husbandry.
(Note: Although after the media reported that CAZA had confirmed Marineland accreditation, CAZA later claimed no, the investigation is still ongoing.)
The Ontario SPCA and local Humane Society investigation is ongoing as I type. On the main entrance to the Humane Society headquarters, which opened in 1981, there's a plaque thanking Marineland owner John Holer for his generosity in making the society's new headquarters possible by buying the property, while the old OSPCA, in exchange, was donated to Marineland. I hope this cozy relationship is not the same today.
John Holer has run Marineland for some 50 years. For years the animal protection movement has tried to rescue the animals in Marineland's care by exposing (PDF) the horrific conditions there, all to no avail. Holer has cultivated strong political alliances in a jurisdiction served by totally inadequate animal protection legislation.
But while I wouldn't count on it, the tide may have, if not turned, at least reached a crescendo that is increasingly hard to ignore. It began mid-August when the Toronto Star published the sad story by Linda Diebel about Smooshi, the walrus who so adored her trainer, Phil Demers. Demers could no longer abide the abuse of animals he was witness to as a top marine mammal trainer at Marineland. Demers had fought to help the make the walrus regain her health, had outlined water quality problems that were, among other things, making some marine mammals go blind, all to no avail, and in the end could no longer be part of the problem.
For a while these stories focused on the horrific plight of Marineland's marine mammals, including the facility's large number of beluga whales so prominent in the endlessly repeated Marineland TV commercials featuring the endless refrain "Everyone loves Marineland" in a ditty sung by an anonymous, but talented, singer. Its various iterations show laughing tots being kissed by smiling whales and dolphins. Parents tell me their tykes often sing the words by rote and go there expecting to shake the flipper of a cetacean.
But then the article went on to discuss the terrestrial mammals. "At Marineland, 15 black bears are held in a cramped enclosure with four dens, two feeding stations, a moat with filthy water and a tourist booth that sells corn pops in sugar cones. Tourists lean over a barrier above and toss the sugar pops down to the bears, a practice animal behaviouralists (sic) have criticized."
One expert, Else Poulson, who has been a zoo consultant in Canada and the United States, is quoted as saying: "Bears are sentient creatures, highly intelligent and complex with daily routines (apart from winter denning) in the wild. ... The bears are apparently there only so humans can feed them corn pops."
And Jim Hammond, former land animal care supervisor for Marinland, said that it was tough "to hear newborn cubs squealing in the spring, knowing they would end up dead, devoured by adult males." There was no enclosure for birthing mothers and no way to keep the young protected. Hammond said you'd hear them and then "one week you'd go in to clean and there would be only silence."
It was the death of a little red deer in the summer of 2010 that was the final straw for Hammond at Marineland. Here's how the Star article describes it:
"The deer's foreleg was badly broken, with the bone sticking out, and it had to be killed. Hammond accepted that, but it was how the deer died he'll never forget.
"Hammond, an 11-year veteran at the sprawling facility, begged owner John Holer to bring in a vet to euthanize the animal. He says Holer refused, instead taking out his 12-gauge shotgun, shooting the deer and then driving off. But the wounded animal didn't die.
" 'He was twitching quite a bit and his head would flop up and down,' Hammond recalled. The deer had been shot through the windpipe and was gasping for air.
"He called Holer at home to say the deer was still alive and asked if he could call the vet to 'do it right' or would Holer come back. According to Hammond, Holer refused, telling him: 'I just got back to the house and got sitting down. ... You've got a knife in the back of the wagon.'
"He acted reluctantly.
" 'I don't want to dramatize it, but when you do that to an animal, you remember it,' said Hammond, a big guy who clasped his hands and stared bleakly at the floor. 'And it was a dull knife. ... If you take a dull knife across hair, it's very hard to cut. It was like trying to cut into concrete. And you're there not for a few seconds, it's a few minutes.' "
Of course, Marineland refused comment.
The fact that CAZA has nevertheless accredited Marineland makes a mockery of the CAZA accreditation standards. That is why I examined them and discovered that they were, to all intents, meaningless. I wrote a critique of the first half of the standards, and I will talk about that in a future blog. Meanwhile, Ontario's premier has grudgingly admitted what we have said for many, many years, that Ontario is in desperate need of some sort of legal protection for zoo animals. That's one tiny, toddling step in the right direction.
Oh, and that ditty singer with the great voice is no longer anonymous. Her name is Suzie McNeil and she would now like the tagline to be "Everyone Hates Marineland." Everyone should!
Blogging off,

Suspender Tights: Yay or Nay?
Have you jumped on the new suspender tights/mock hold ups trend? They are as comfortable as full length tights but they give you the sexy look of thigh high tights attached to suspender belts.
Pssst…You can purchase Suspender Tights from Nordstrom here.
But beware of what you pair these with because there's a fine line between looking chic and street. IMO, Selena Gomez killed this look. Rihanna, on the other hand, needs to ask her entourage how she looks before she steps out. What do you think?

Hispanic Democratic group in Fla. rejects Kerry endorsement, citing moral issues

MIAMI (BP)--The Democratic League of Miami-Dade County has announced it does not endorse John Kerry for president, mainly because he is part of the current party leadership that has rejected the moral values and ethical principles of the vast majority of Democrats across the country, according to league chairman Eladio Jose Armesto.
With more than 1,000 members and a reach that expands to 100,000 pro-life, pro-family Democrats in Miami, the Democratic League was chartered by the Miami-Dade Democratic Party in 1989 and is primarily led by Hispanic-American Democrats.
The league released a statement Oct. 27, saying the Democratic presidential candidate stands "at a polar extreme of American public opinion" on certain issues, including same-sex "marriage," partial-birth abortion and human cloning.
"Sen. Kerry's voting record and public statements reveal a candidate who has disqualified himself from receiving the endorsement of pro-faith, pro-freedom, pro-life, pro-family Democrats," the release said. "We believe the Democratic Party is rooted in the values of faith, freedom, family and country. If our party is to once again be a guiding light in America, it must do much, much better than extremists such as John Kerry and John Edwards."
The group listed 10 reasons why they cannot endorse Kerry for president, including:
-- Kerry's stance on the definition of marriage. The Democratic League "supports civil marriage and all its benefits as being reserved exclusively to one man and one woman." Kerry endorses homosexual civil unions, the league noted, and is against "protecting American taxpayers from being legally forced to extend government approval, financial benefits and moral legitimacy to sexual relationships other than civil marriage."
-- Kerry's failure to support the right to life. "He has adamantly voted against the right to life in the U.S. Senate and he has sought and accepted the highly dubious endorsement of every major anti-life and anti-family outfit operating in the United States," the statement said.
-- Kerry's attacks on the dignity of the human person. "He is against any and all ethical regulations stopping the National Institutes of Health from funding research on human dignity-degrading 'human cloning.'"
-- Kerry's support of embryonic stem cell research. "He has voted against banning embryo-destructive stem cell research, thereby placing an anti-life political ideology over ethical principles and the common good," the league said.
-- Kerry's failure to support the partial-birth abortion ban. The Democratic League "supports outlawing the barbaric crime of partial-birth abortion where a child is forced partially out of the mother's womb, then murdered by piercing the back of the skull."
Other reasons the Democratic League cited for opposing Kerry include his stances relating to parental notification laws for abortions, euthanasia, school vouchers, assisting families in developing Third World countries such as Mexico, and the appointment of Supreme Court justices.
"We don't check in our consciences, our moral values or our ethical principles at the party hall door," Armesto told Baptist Press. "We refuse to be censored, silenced or discriminated into submission to a political agenda that has been adopted against our consent and our better judgment. We will not read the current party leadership's script nor will we tow a party line which we may find objectionable or contrary to the best interests of the Democratic Party.
"Within the Democratic Party, the league demands respect for our pro-family, pro-life conscience," he added. "Only by tolerating and respecting Democrats such as ourselves will the current Democratic Party leadership be able to win elections and stand before the public and demonstrate that the party is the 'big tent' that they claim to be."
While the league rejects Kerry, who Armesto said "is not a real Democrat," it does not endorse President Bush.
"As a Democratic Party organization we can only endorse or support Democratic candidates," Sara P. Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the league, said in an e-mail to Baptist Press. "However, just because a candidate is a Democrat does not mean we are obligated, under party rules, to endorse or support them. We do not feel compelled to rubber-stamp party candidates because that would not be in the best interest of the party."
Armesto said the league did not endorse Al Gore for president in 2000 because he also had rejected the values of rank-and-file Democrats.
"They have been rejecting the moral values and the ethical principles of the vast majority of Democrats across the country," he told BP. "That's why the Democratic Party has been losing so many elections. That's why we have been unable to endorse a Democratic candidate."
Armesto observed that Democrats have been losing ground because the party has been taken over by a small cadre of retrograde dogmatists, political extremists, ideological fanatics and social misfits who do not care, sending the Democratic Party to crushing defeat on election day as long as they get their anti-social agenda into the 6 p.m. newscast.
Espinoza said no party in America should be under the control of individuals who put their extremist ideology above the good of the nation.
"American political parties can disagree on the war, the budget and the best way to get to the moon," she said, "but they should never disagree on faith, life, freedom and family. Faith in God, strong families and hard work is what's right with America, not what's wrong."

A Theory of Fads, Fashion, Custom, and Cultural Change in Informational Cascades
AbstractAn informational cascade occurs when it is optimal for an individual, having observed the actions of those ahead of him, to follow the behavior of the preceding individual with regard to his own information. The authors argue that localized conformity of behavior and the fragility of mass behaviors can be explained by informational cascades. Copyright 1992 by University of Chicago Press.

Student ,

What period of your life were you the happiest?
Do you consider the happiest part of your life to be from your youth, the present, or still to come? What caused this joy at that point in your life? Why does it no longer exist?
I'll start: The happiest period of my life was my youth because of the blissful ignorance of childhood and the limitless worlds of imagination my friends and I constantly frolicked in. It's a unique phase that we all only experience once.
When were you the happiest?
May 10 2011: NOW....THIS MOMENT:>)
The past is gone by, the future is not yet a reality. I spend my time fully engaged in the present moment:>)
Austin, you say your happiest period was youth, because of blissful ignorance...and the limitless worlds of imagination. As adults, we can still have the curiosity of a child, and still frolick in imagination and the idea of a limitless world:>) I don't agree that this state is only experienced once. I experience it every moment of my life...it can be continuous, and it's a choice:>)
May 10 2011: Colleen read my mind.
Ignorance is bliss. Just can't always be ignorant.
When ever you are feeling down, instead just feel awesome. Smile/laugh without having a reason; your body doesn't know your really not happy but it will release natural endorphins that will make you feel better. Try it, not lying. http://www.gwengordonplay.com/pdf/laughing_for_no_reason.pdf
That is advice to spread and it's free, go nuts.
And to be honest, I am still a child and that is fine, while I realize the world works "this way" I'll continue to live it "my way" and work/live within those two worlds. While I teach I will write and explore the world. The only thing limiting you from happiness everyday is yourself. For those who are not lucky enough to have that chance to find happiness is all the more reason you should enjoy yours and appreciate you having it. I take it to the next level and will strive to help as many as possible, and thinking in these terms make me happy and no one can take that away.
May 12 2011: I agree with you both in happiness being a choice and motion creating emotion. However, while I can keep an empowering context when events in my life may become overwhelming that doesn't imply I am experiencing happiness. If I am truly present to what is happening in the moment, I can't always be present to happiness. I guess it truly depends on what one considers happiness to be. Can happiness be mesured in the first place? And if so, by which barometer?
May 12 2011: Hi Helena,
I prefer to call the underlying feeling contentment, rather than happiness. I believe that in every moment, I am learning, so I open to the possibilities with curiosity and intent to learn. I've become comfortable with discomfort. When I am truly present in the moment, I am aware of all emotions, which can all co-exist. What we focus on expands, so of course, I focus on the more pleasurable aspects of any situation:>)
Tim Colgan 50+
Debra Smith 200+
May 11 2011: Katherine, many women my age advised me that the time was fleeting and to cherish it and so I pass the reminder along to you. When you are tired and your day feels like you just spun your wheels remember to stop and look at those little faces. One day they will be far away, be taller than you are with exciting lives of their own doing all of the things you hoped they would do- and you will wish that you could go back and visit them when they were just the age yours are now.
Enjoy your blessings (and give yourself permission to forget the mess more often!)
Chris Aldon 20+
May 12 2011: Tim,
I remember as far as 5 years old. I think I remember a few situations from when I was about 4, but I am not sure, maybe I was already 5, and I've heard that this is not very common. My clearest memories are from 6 years old on however, I have plenty of memories from when I was 6. I remember some of my favorite clothes that I had at 6 and 7, trips to grandpa's farm, some conversations that people had around me, some emotions I felt about certain people, some people I met at that time that I liked a lot, including some of my aunts' friends ( I spent a lot of time at my grandma's). I remember a lot of things that happened in school when I was 6, I remember visiting my cousin at the hospital a few hours after she was born. I remember reaching to look at her where she was laying down, I also remember how excited I was that she was born and I was 6 the year that she was born. I have few pictures from my childhood, I just really remember a lot of things. My 6th year was really busy. lol
I loved my 6th and 7th years but I had more fun at about 9 and 10 because my cousins were older at that time and I had more people to play with.
May 13 2011: I know most from what my parents and siblings told me about when I was 4-5, but I too don't remember them as well except few.
The best that I probably remember of that age is - I was lost while I was out in market with my grandfather and he came all worried at home only to find I have walked all the way home on my own. :)
May 11 2011: I cant seem to pick the best one out. Not in past.. or the present.. definitely not future (I don't know it yet). They all have some really good memories.
Wonder how an amnesiac would respond to this question... they seem to always live in present. And if its retrograde amnesia too, well then they don't even have past memories to compare to.
May 10 2011: Awesome parties, night clubs, fake id, trying new things, good friends, challenges, fun, fun, fun, traveling with friends, getting drunk with friends, girlfriends... HIGH SCHOOL, I mean, NOW! But I always try to make the present moment the happiest, the best. CARPE DIEM, ALWAYS AND ALWAYS!

I thought it wasn't bad. Could use alot of work, but sounds like a good expansion. Mostly because since we have killed all the badass guys like Arthas and Illidan and eventually Deathwing, so why not start killing Naruu? Also, because I hated Shattrath so much. Also also, blah.

sure things and structured products
Once a type of investment is viewed as a sure thing, new ways are created to get in on the action. Take Madoff. In addition to direct investments, there were the notorious feeder funds, banks that lent against client balances, and structured products based upon Madoff's returns.
That was a fraud, of course, but legitimate investments that come to look like sure things have that happen too.
A recent Bloomberg article regarding Apple structured notes is a case in point. If you put yourself in a retail broker's shoes, what could be easier to sell than yield plus Apple?
Here's a line from the story: "Banks create structured notes by packaging debt with derivatives to offer customized bets to retail investors while earning fees and raising money."
The banks get paid up front, the advisors get paid up front, and the buyers may or may not get what they think they'll get. Most retail buyers don't understand structured products. Many advisors don't really either, but they do understand an easy sell with a nice payday.
Buyer beware. Even without the allure of an Apple as the reference security, a structured product can look like a sure thing. It's not.

As we look out into 2013, we see enough economic concerns to make us cautious about our optimism for growth.
Europe is struggling to contain the soveriegn debt challenges facing troubled economies and this is slowing development throughout the continent. We can see the impact this is having on trade from the poor rate environment for cargo moving from Asia to the European Union.
The U.S. is struggling to attain minimal GDP growth, and the prospects for larger growth appear slim in the face of increased taxes and continuing pressure on wages. Manufacturing and consumer spending have helped buoy the U.S. economy and we hope for more of the same this year.
Even China has its problems, as the country works through a broader shift from purely an exporting country to an economy with a growing consumer base and demand for imports. China is trying to manage this process as best it can. However, in the short term, there will be challenges that dampen development of the Chinese economy.
As we look at these clouds, we also see silver linings in a gobal economy that will offer opportunities in new locations. We will continue to invest in new offices in Southeast Asia, Africa, India and South America. These emerging economic centers will become increasingly important.
Those logistics companies that can integrate the emerging markets into the global economy, including the big markets of Europe, the U.S. and China will be well-established to prosper when investment and economic activity gain speed in coming years. This will require the right people, with sufficient knowledge of the local business culture and the global network, backed by the right systems to deliver a competitive advantage.

The San Diego Chargers have announced that both head coach Norv Turner and GM AJ Smith will return to the team next season.
This is awesome news.
Turner is a terrible coach. If his team doesn't start slow, it freaks out in the middle of the season.
I was really worried that Turner was going to get fired and that San Deigo was going to hire Jeff Fisher. With a decent coach, the Chargers might actually have lived up to their potential in 2012.
With Turner? I doubt it.

Childcare Network Center #184 has seen a steady trickle of interested parents this summer. The early-learning, childcare facility, located at 689 Jonesboro Road in McDonough, is planning an official opening Monday, according to Lisa Padgett, metro Atlanta district manager for the Columbus, Ga.,-based Childcare Network.
Padgett said the center is the network's first in Henry County. There are facilities in Spalding, Rockdale, DeKalb, Butts, and Clayton counties, but Henry has been "under-served," with Georgia Pre-K programs, according to Padgett.
She said the center will open with three state Pre-K-funded classrooms. So far, about 40 youngsters have enrolled, she added.
The number of Georgia Pre-K classes available in Henry County continues to grow, according to Stacey Moore, public relations director for Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.
"As of [Friday], Henry County has received a total of 12 additional Pre-K classes for 2010," Moore said. "This is in addition to the 75 classes previously funded."
Childcare Network Center #184 reported an enrollment of 21 children in its private, early childhood, education program. "We're meeting the children where they are [academically and skills-wise]," said Ennette Cahill, director of the center.
Cahill said the center will open next week as a full-service childcare facility, with 10 different, age-appropriate classes, including two private Pre-K3 classes, one private Pre-K4 class, as well as its three state Pre-K4-funded classes.
The McDonough facility has a capacity for about 200 youngsters, and offers 10 academic classes for children between six weeks and 4 years old, according to the center director. She said it will use the HighReach Learning and the Pre-K4 Passports Program curriculums, which were developed by the HighReach Learning Division of Carson Dellosa Publishing, LLC, in Greensboro, N.C.
The center, she noted, will offer after-care and before-care for children, ages 5-12, providing transportation to, and from, local schools, which feed into the Henry County High School district.
The facility's schedule, she added, will mirror that of the Henry County School System, and will offer childcare services during the school system's seasonal breaks.
Cahill said the early childhood education center plans to host an open house today, between 11 a.m., and 2 p.m. To learn more about the Childcare Network Center, call (770) 302-0300, or visit www.childcarenetwork.net.
