Landscape Design
We have been working with a landscape architect who has graciously donated her time to help us develop an overall plan for the church property.
There are several areas in need of maintenance. Suzanne Nolan, who created the plan with us, has put together an overall plan for the entire church property.
We are looking for people to "adopt" specific parts of the church grounds and then work on them individually when it is convenient.
If you have an interest in gardening and would like to donate some time to help maintain our property please let Fr. Luke or Susan Sulich know.
A specific plan that has the sites identified will be made available soon that will help you choose.
Share a Saint
Have you ever wondered how the men and women depicted in icons and listed on the church calendar became saints?
A recent suggestion from a parishioner offers an opportunityto find out. We are looking for parishioners, preferably one older and one younger, to pair up and research a saint together.
Father Luke has sources you can use or you can look online or in books. The idea would be to prepare a brief (under 5 minutes) presentation to give during a coffee hour.
If you're interested in participating please contact Father Luke.

Basically the land comprises of low desert plain that rises gently to slight elevation. The place is acknowledged to be the site of the ancient land of the Dilmun civilisation. Bahrain is quite protective when it comes to safe keeping of its flora and fauna. To take care of its well-existing breeds and also those of endangered species of animals, it has five dedicated protected areas, which are – Hawar Islands; Tubli Bay; Mashtan Island, which is off the coast of Bahrain; Arad Bay, in Muharraq; and Al Areen Wildlife Park- a zoo and also a breeding centre. Bahrain is a popular tourist destination as more than 8 million tourists visit this place every year. The land is a rich source of Arab culture and stores the archaeological legacy that gives deep insight into ancient worlds and ancient people. It is due to the Bahrain International F1 Circuit that people all over the world came to know Bahrain's heritage and stores of historical knowledge.

Research often works with one scientist building off another's results.
So it has been with a groundbreaking 2003 study by Daniel Kim-Shapiro of Wake Forest University and Dr. Mark Gladwin of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, about how the human body converts the chemical nitrite into nitric oxide to regulate blood flow and blood pressure.
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. It generally occurs in one of two ways: either a clot obstructs the flow of blood to the brain or a blood vessel ruptures, preventing blood flow to the brain.
Stroke is the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability.
The risk of having a stroke more than doubles each decade after age 55. Nearly three-quarters of all strokes occur in people older than 65.
High blood pressure is the most important risk factor for stroke.
Stroke death rates are higher for blacks than for whites.
FAST is a diagnostic acronym to spot the symptoms of a stroke. F is for face-drooping, A is for arm weakness, S is for slurred speech and T means it is time to call 911 upon appearance of any of the three key symptoms.
American Stroke Association
That research prompted a number of other investigations, including studies indicating that nitric oxide derived from nitrite, by expanding blood vessels and targeting body tissues that are low in oxygen, could improve outcomes in heart attack and pulmonary hypertension.
Kim-Shapiro, physics professor at Wake Forest, in North Carolina, and director of the Translational Science Center that includes scientists from the university and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, oversaw a follow-up study in 2010.
This research showed that healthy elderly people experienced increased blood flow in parts of the brain after following a diet high in nitrate — a compound found in spinach, celery, beets and other vegetables that is converted into nitrite in the mouth.
More specifically, the study "showed increased cerebral blood flow in areas associated with cognitive decline in older adults after they drank beet juice,'' Kim-Shapiro said.
That gave Dr. Cheryl Bushnell an idea.
"I was like, 'Geez, this is a no-brainer for stroke patients,'" said Bushnell, associate professor of neurology at Wake Forest Baptist and director of its Stroke Center.
Bushnell is leading a clinical trial designed to determine if beet juice can safely and effectively aid stroke recovery.
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or bursts. Without blood and the oxygen it carries, parts of the brain start to die, and the parts of the body controlled by the damaged areas of the brain can't function properly.
After a stroke, however, new cells form in the brain. Bushnell said her study, which will involve 80 stroke patients and should be completed in two years, aims to see if drinking beet juice can "actually enhance patients' recovery" because of the way nitric oxide promotes the growth of new blood vessels.
Bushnell said she hasn't had any trouble finding volunteers willing to drink a small amount of beet juice daily for 30 days after suffering a stroke.
"So far, people want to do something that would potentially help them recover,'' she said. "The enthusiasm is there."
In recent years, beet juice has gained a reputation for having restorative qualities. Scientists around the world have been studying the efficacy of beet juice in everything from reducing blood pressure levels to improving athletic performance. At last year's Summer Olympics in London, numerous athletes were seen drinking beet juice.
Wake Forest has been working with a company in Florida for the past three years to produce a beet juice drink that is both healthy and tasty. That effort is being coordinated by Wake Forest Innovations, the division of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center devoted to commercializing the work of scientists and researchers, and the drink is expected to be available to consumers later this year.
Kim-Shapiro said many people view beet juice as a new type of energy drink.
Last year, he said, he gave some samples of the in-development beet juice drink to his students before exams to gauge their reaction and see if it would give them an energy boost.
They were so enthusiastic, he said, that some subsequently approached him and said, "Can I have another bottle? I have another final."

Coyotes Announce 2007-08 Team Award Winners.
Doan named Team MVP
Phoenix Coyotes
Thursday, April 3, 2008
The Phoenix Coyotes announced the winners of the club's 2007-08 season team awards. Coyotes' captain Shane Doan earned the team MVP Award, the Coyotes' Leading Scorer Award and the Hardest Working Player Award. Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov won the 3-Star Award and defenseman Derek Morris won The CORE Institute Man of the Year Award and the inaugural Beth Champie Memorial Award.
Doan, in his 12th NHL season (all with the Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets), led all Coyotes players with 28-49-77 in only 77 games to win the team's Leading Scorer Award and Hardest Working Player Award as voted on by fans through PhoenixCoyotes.Com. Doan was also selected as the team MVP by the Coyotes traveling media (The Arizona Republic, East Valley Tribune, and the Coyotes' broadcast team). In addition to leading the Coyotes in goals, assists, and points, Doan became just the third player in franchise history to score at least 20 goals in eight straight seasons.
Ilya Bryzgalov earned 35 "3-Star" points throughout the 2007-08 Coyotes regular season to earn the 3-Star Award. Bryzgalov was selected as the game's 1st star five times this season and recorded career highs in game played, wins and shutouts.
Morris earned The CORE Institute Man of the Year Award and Beth Champie Memorial Award by demonstrating dedication, commitment and passion to the community during the 2007-08 season. Morris was the Coyotes' most active player in the community during the season, making numerous appearances to local area schools. He also found time to visit many of the young patients at Phoenix Children's Hospital and Banner Children's Hospital, providing the children with hope and memorable experiences.

Beijing - China Friday completed a system designed to monitor the movement of the Earth's crust and predict earthquakes, officials said.
Based on satellite navigation, the system involves a network of 260 permanent observing stations and 2,000 part-time observing stations with data-processing technology.
It will also be used for weather forecasting and scientific research, among other purposes, Xinhua quoted the China Earthquake Administration as saying.
Experts in charge of the project agreed that the outcome is a comprehensive, precise and versatile geoscientific resource, and that its information should be shared.
The new network joins the US's Plate Boundary Observation system and Japan's GEONE as the most advanced means of observing the movement of the Earth's crust.
China started the project in December 2007, with an investment of 524 million yuan ($83.2 million).

Lives Change @ Your Library – Celebrate National Library Week April 13-19
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. This year's theme is "Lives Change @ Your Library." We're excited to share with you how lives change at Cecil County Public Library, right in our own community.
Thomas fell on hard times after leaving the military, including a period of homelessness. When he came to the Perry Point VA hospital, he discovered computer classes specifically for veterans at the Perryville Branch Library. He learned how to create an email account, use the internet and apply for jobs online. He has since been hired by the VA and works to help fellow vets gain computer skills.
Christian started volunteering at the Elkton Central Library a few years ago and the experience made a profound difference in his life. He writes, "At the library, opportunities abound for both character and community. Here, young people like me expand themselves by reaching out and giving back. In programs, in volunteering positions, and of course in YA social spaces, we are challenged to learn, to lead, and to find ourselves. For all of my growth and success, I owe the library enormous credit." His volunteer work was so impressive, it led to a paid position as a shelving clerk. He is graduating with honors this year
and has been accepted early admission to a prestigious college.
Our community cherishes our bookmobile service because it visits communities in which many residents have limited access to transportation. The bookmobile brings library services to schools, Head Start centers, Boys & Girls Clubs and other community meeting places. Many families visit the bookmobile regularly because without a car, it's their only connection for getting books.
Many parents worry about getting their children ready to start school, but Mark and Crystal were a little surprised when their pediatrician strongly recommended reading to their newborn each day. Through fun storytime programs at Cecil County Public Library, they learned how early childhood learning, starting at birth, is critical for school readiness. They were thrilled to find out that baby Ellie could get her very own library card and they feel proud to be investing in their daughter's future by teaching her a love of learning.
Jerome may be one of our most extreme library users ever! After a fire destroyed his vehicle, he salvaged his library card and continued to use it until the bar code could longer be scanned. He was sad to give up his card because it showed how important the library was in his life. We got him a new card – and he let us hold on to the burnt one as a great reminder of how important Cecil County Public Library is to so many citizens.
Celebrate National Library Week by stopping by your local branch this week or visiting a new one. And don't miss our Facebook and Twitter feeds for more life-changing stories and trivia this week – you could even win a prize by submitting your "Extreme Library User" story. Whether it's how long you've had your card, how many books you check out, or how the library has made a profound difference in your life, we want to hear your "Extreme Library User" story! Post your story here, on our social media accounts, or send to email@example.com by 4/19 for a chance to win.

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > Miss. Lani Contreras!
Nanny's thought0 Reviews
after the scariest scene, comes the first vision. Plus, Lani marks her place in Howarts in a defending way
"But how Albus? Lani already told us she kept her mind away from him"
"Well, somehow he turned on that bond" Dumbledore answered
"Should we teach her Oclumency, like Harry?" I was so lost and sleepy that I didn't know who was talking.
"That didn't work for Harry"
"Then what Albus?"
"For now let's give her a rest. Warn the teachers she won't assist to classes tomorrow" I did heard that…and clearly.
"What?" I asked and all turned to me, surprised that I was talking "I don't feel that bad to not go to classes, sir" I added
"You need to rest- he came closer to me and tap my shoulder, nicely- Now, I'm going to ask Miss. Granger to join you to your dormitories"
"Yes, sir" Hermione, who I didn't even notice was there, said.
The next day I woke up late. Fine and without any hurt. I should be in class! And instead I am in bed. Bored, in pajamas. Caressing my lovely little cat Dolla. I didn't exactly know what happened last night. But from what I heard, Voldemort knows I'm alive. He just noticed that a few hours ago. That worried me a lot. I'm just at few days of being here and I'm already in danger. I think. I suppose.
Suddenly, the door went open and Hermione entered the room. Her face looked happy and worried when she saw me.
"Lani!...you woke up! How are you? You are feeling ok? Nothing's wrong? Because I can-"she quickly said as she walked to my bed and sat next to me.
"Stop it! -I cut her off- Hem, I'm fine. I'm perfect. I don't even know why I'm not in class. Is not fair. If what happened is going to put me in danger, I should be in classes learning protecting spells"
"Because Dumbledore told you to" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, annoyed "Besides, you are not missing anything. Teachers are just talking about how they are going to grade and stuff. And starting with introductions, Not big deal"
"I swear, that if you were with a broken leg, you would still go to classes" She kept thinking
"Well…maybe. Only if it is exam's time"
"I hate being here doing nothing. I am a desperate girl. I don't like being alone" I whined
"It is just for today. Relax" Hermione said and I breathed in.
"You really scared us last night" she started saying "You were screaming and trembling like if someone jixed you with The Cruciatus Curse"
"It kind felt like it. Hem, I'm really scared. God only knows what Voldemort could do using this stupid bond! I don't like seeing other people's thoughts, and especially from a psycho bastard that tried to kill me!"
"I don't know if this can happen to you but it did with Harry: Voldemort tricked his mind and made him see things that were not real. Like with his godfather. It is one of the reason he is death"
"yeah, he told me about that" I said "but still, I know that what I saw happened. I just saw my Nanny dying and me trying to be murdered. That totally happened. According to my new life that…sucks" I said the true
"Lani, don't say that. You are where you belong and I can not be happier to have someone like you around here. You know, sometimes I need a girl to talk to, and not just talk with two spoon heads like Harry and Ron" aww…I just love Hem.
"Aw…thanks Hem! You are so nice and thanks for helping with this…freaky world"
"I will always be here" we smiled to each other.
"Talking about Harry and Ron, they asked about you. Well, mostly Harry" she started saying, with a grin on her face and my eyes widened and got worried "don't worry, I didn't tell him. I just said to him that you had diarrhea"
"Hem! From all the diseases in the world, you had to choose the most disgusting one?" I whined.
"It convinced him!"
"Fine, whatever it takes for him to not have a clue of what is happening"
"Lani!" Hermione suddenly shouted and ran for a tissue. I frowned scared by her reaction. What- Hermione just grabbed my nose into the tissue.
"What?!" I asked in a funny way
"Can't you feel it?! You are bleeding from your nose!" what!?
"Bleeding?!" Hermione made me put my head in the pillow and at the time I touched it the room changed again. This time, I was in the same room of my vision I saw earlier, but it was noon and saw myself as a baby sitting in a little chair next to my Nanny.
"Mira (watch)" she said raising her wand and pointing it to a book positioned in the floor in front of me. Swinging her wand she said softly: "Wingardium Leviosa" and the book roused from the floor and started elevating. I was clapping of happiness and my Nanny was smiling by it. Then the room went back to our dormitories. Hermione looked perplexed and worried.
"Wau" I gasped. This time I didn't fell a pain at all. It was a nice memory. I felt so relax and full of happiness
"Oh my God Lani! Are you alright?!" Hermione shouted at me so worried "You looked lost! What happe-"
"Yezz Herm- I got mi index finger in one of my ears and shook it for the pinching sound of her voice- keep the volume down girl" I complained
"Sorry…I tough it was another vision from-"
"It was" I said and grabbed my wand from the nightstand. I pointed at the nearest pillow and tough "Wingardium Leviosa". The pillow, slowly, raised from the bed and I kept it suspended in the air with my wand.
Finally I was doing some magic! It felt so great! Hermione looked surprised and asked
"How did you do that?" looking at the flying pillow
"My Nanny taught me" I simply said. Yei!!
Hermione went to classes again. And I was left alone. All the boring knocked me down. Without thinking, I dressed, brush my hair a little and went out the room. I went out of the empty common room and just tour around the school. It was beautiful. I loved everything! I could hear from the other side of the classrooms doors the kids laughing and talking, or teachers teaching, and even little explosions from the potions' room. I was so happy and relax just walking trough the hallways when I heard my name being call.
"Lani?" I turned around. It was the headmaster. Dam, I'm in trouble.
"Good morning, headmaster" I said nervously as he walked to me.
"You shouldn't be in bed?" he asked
"Sorry, I just got bored and I'm feeling ok right now. I thought about having a little tour around the school" I apologized
"Very well. I'm glad you are alright, I just tough you could do a right rest for what happened last night"
"Sir, about that, what exactly happened? I just remember the headache and the vision. It was really Voldemort? Or maybe just a little nightmare?" I asked and freeze in a thinking look.
"Walk with me Lani" and we did as he told, and he began explaining "As I believe you know, Harry suffered the connection with Voldemort"
"Yes, he told me about it"
"Well, I didn't think that with you would show up so soon. I was sure it was going to happen, but I think someone knew about your existence and told him. He remembered about you last night and that was when the bond between you two went on"
"It hurt, a lot" I pointed out, touching my scar "and, sir, do you think that is going to be the last one? Because I'm not sure I can handle more"
"unfortunally, no" that brought me down. I will be death by the third one already "There's a prophesy about Harry and Voldemort that says: "Either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives"
"What?...so, Harry needs to kill Voldemort to live?"
"Yes, that's the way it is"
"He didn't say that to me. It's weird because it's a, well obviously, huge deal…why he didn't tell me?" that kinda pissed me off. How he could forget something like this?!
"He didn't wanted you to get worry. Harry is someone that prefers to deal with his problems by himself"
"Hum…and I have something to do with this prophesy?" I asked
"A prophesy may be real and may be not. With your return, we not longer know if that is the future. But, what we do know, is that Voldemort, somehow, will take advantage and use that bond" great…great!
"And…is there a possibility that he might want to ki…kill me? Like he is trying to do with Harry?" I asked scared and nervous to hear the answer.
"I understand your concern and I can't tell you exactly what it is on Voldemort's mind. You can"
"So, I should turn on that bond to see if he wants to kill me?"
"No, it might be dangerous. Try to not think about him and when something like last night happens, close your mind and fight against him. I know you can. As we all say, you are so alike to Harry" Dumbledore said, looking at my eyes, smiling. I smiled back and then the bell rang. Lots of students went out of the classrooms in the hallway we were. I looked around to see if a saw someone familiar, then again to Dumbledore but he was already gone. I frowned by that. Such an interesting man, don't you think?
I went on with my walking. I made my way trough the students that looked at me. I was getting used to this. I went down to the gardens' floor to see if there was any of my friends. But unfortunally I tripped with my enemies.
"Look Draco. It is nothing more than the No-Clue- Muggle-Born" Pansy "Stupidy" Parkinson had spoken. She was with her "boy", Draco Malfoy and his Dumbasses army.
"Aww…I already have a nickname? From you guys? That's so sweet of you-I said in the exaggerates and sarcastic way as possible- I should give you ones in return. How about Mr. and Mrs. Fresa. That's how we say to such conceited and haughty persons, that they believe the best taco in the pot only because they have a few cents of more or for being pure bloods. In few words people like the ones I'm looking at" I glared them with hate and proud of my answer and, by their faces, I could tell they went mad. Ja…ja!. Suddenly, Malfoy got very near me, looking at me deep in the eye.
"Do you think that offended us, mudblood?" is the second time he says that word. What does It mean? Obviously nothing good.
"By your reaction…yeah, and a lot. Why? Little Malfoy can't handle a constructive critic?" I kept bothering him smiling. Quickly Pansy came to me and pushed me far from Malfoy.
"You better watch out what you are saying muggle" she said and I went close to her, taking my defense
"Or what Pansy Pants? You are going to jinx me?" I dared her madly
"You don't who are you dealing with!" she yelled at me pushing me again. I could see people watching the scene but not teacher around so I went on.
"Of course I know. And believe I know more than you know in six years of school" I snapped back pushing her to Malfoy's arms.
"Prove it Mudblood!" she yelled at me and both took out our wands in a snap. I was ready to jinx her when…
"Lani don't!" Hermione yelled at me taking down my hand with my wand. Harry, Ron, Ginny and Luna following. "You could get expel!" Hermione added pulling me away from my arms, from the scene. I kept looking to Pansy ready to kick her ass, but Hermione kept pulling me as I struggle to get out of her hands.
"Come on Lani, let's go" Now Harry helped Hermione and we bagan to walked as Malfoy and his crew of dumbasses laughed.
"Yes Lani, listen to your boyfriend and the mudblood!" Malfoy yelled
"ugh!" Hermione said bothered and mad. I finally asked as we walked with our friends joining us.
"What is Mudblood?"
"Nothing, just some stupid nickname for people with unmagical parents. To most of the purebloods like Draco, it is bad reputation being a muggle born. It is a rudeness to say that to someone" I fired up when she explained it to me. So, we, muggle born are less in this world?!
"ha" I said angry and, without thinking, I turned around and began walking fast and angry to where Malfoy and Pansy were.
"Lani don't!" I heard Harry yelling at me and following me but I didn't stop. I took out my wand. Pointed at Malfoy and thought "Expelliarmus". A blue ray of light went out of my wand and hit Malfoy right in the chest.
"AHH!" he yelled as he flew trough the air, hit a tree and then the ground. I hurried to him as everyone who was around did. He wasn't unconscious, just whining like a baby he is. At the time he saw me, he put an evil look and got his hand into his coat, probably getting out his wand.
"Don't you dare" I ordered pointing him down at his face with my wand. He didn't got out his wand. He kept that look and I started saying.
"Next time think very good who you call Mudblood, because this is nothing of what I can do to you. Go it…Mr. Fresa?" he just kept looking at me with hate. I turned around to walk away. My eyes caught Pansy's, who had the same look like Malfoy.
"Lets go" Harry said, putting a arm over my shoulder and we all walked to the hallways.
"Lani you are totally my hero!" Ron said smiling, hugging me friendly. God that felt so good! I felt so powerful and cool! I love magic…jiji
there you goo...see you next week!!!

For the first time in NFL history, two brothers are opposing each other has head coaches in the Super Bowl, so naturally they're making history in virtually everything they do. Both Jim and John Harbaugh held a joint press conference on Friday, making it the first time in the history of the Super Bowl that opposing head coaches met with the media together.
But while they rarely meet each other in their football lives, Jim and John nearly joined the same staff at Stanford back in the day.
"We almost made it happen at Stanford at one time," John said. "It would be an honor to have him on the staff. He's a great coach. You always try to get great coaches, and there are none better than Jim Harbaugh, and I mean that seriously. There's no better coach in the National Football League than this guy right here."
Awh, isn't that just too cute. It's almost disappointing that these guys are acting more like brothers and less like the fierce competitors that they truly are, but what should we have expected? But while both Jim and John, as well as their father Jack, all are known for their intense competitiveness, the brothers blamed their mother when it came to the person who gets most riled up by competition.
"There is no one in the family who has more competitive fire than my mother," Jim said. "She competes like a maniac. She has just always believed in us, and I think that is the most important thing to me. She believed in me, John, and Joanie, and took us to games and played catch with us, shot baskets with us, and just believed in us."
In all honesty, football is a family game that is passed down from father to son, and it's truly amazing to see two brothers who had the game passed down to them, both sitting up on the stage preparing to battle for the Super Bowl. No matter who ends up winning the 'Harbaugh Bowl', there isn't a doubt in anyone's mind that Super Bowl XVLII will go down as one of the most memorable Super Bowls to have ever been played.
And that has everything to do with two brothers named Harbaugh.

Wowow fit and color! I would give this product five pineapples, except the first pair had mismatch stripes from the front and the back, so I had to exchange The color sets your tan off nicely and the front is a little higher than the back. The back isn't cut quite so full, so you don't feel like you're wearing granny panties. Beautiful bikini bottoms. Highly recommended. August 30, 2014
Watch mismatched stripes! The first bottoms I received had stripes that didn't match well front to back. (The 3 white stripes were up near the band). Though it sounds trivial, I reordered and received a bottom as pictured, It really looks much nicer. Customer service was flawless with the return and replacement. Other than that I would give the produce 5 pineapples. August 22, 2014

Our 2000 Chenin Blanc continues in the same style as past vintages of this perennial Husch favorite. Harvested in the cool, early morning and immediately crushed, pressed and racked to stainless steel tanks, the juice was fermented slowly at cool temperatures (48 degrees F) and immediately bottled to accentuate the fresh fruit character of the Chenin Blanc grape.
Aromas of pear, honeysuckle, banana, and pineapple entice you to take the first sip. A perfect balance of sweetness and acidity heightens your taste buds with flavors of honey, peach, melons, and tropical fruits.Each mouth-watering sip invites another.
Replace a sparkling wine and serve it as an aperitif or with dessert. This is the ideal wine for a picnic, but it is also excellent with lunch or a light dinner. Serve with fresh oysters, crab, or chicken salad.
Husch is a small family-owned winery. Founded in 1971, it is the oldest winery in the picturesque Anderson Valley.

Warrant canary
A warrant canary is a method used by an Internet service provider to inform its customers that the provider has not been served with a secret government subpoena. Such subpoenas, including those covered under the USA Patriot Act, provide criminal penalties for revealing the existence of the warrant to any third party, including the service provider's customers. A warrant canary may be posted by the provider to inform customers of dates that they haven't been served a secret subpoena. If the canary has not been updated in the time period specified by the host, customers are to assume that the host has been served with such a subpoena. The intention is to allow the provider to inform customers of the existence of a subpoena passively, without violating any laws. The legality of this method has not been tested in any court.

The news vortex of Twitter is abuzz on Monday stating that the Browns will be handing naming rights over to FirstEnergy, the diversified energy company headquartered in Akron, Ohio. Several outlets are bantering about the likelihood, trolling for feedback — one of the more legitimate being WEWS' Kristin Volk. Nothing confirmed, but rumor has it that Browns struck a deal with First Energy for naming rights of the stadium. Thoughts? — Kristin Volk (@Kristin_Volk) January 14, 2013 Following the completion of the transaction which transferred majority ownership of the Cleveland Browns to Jimmy Haslam III, naming rights to the stadium were one of the first items which many in Cleveland expected to be changed. The stadium had been dubbed "Cleveland Browns Stadium" since its erection prior to the 1999 season, but Haslam — the former CEO of a billion-dollar truck stop business — notoriously sees the stadium as additional means to market the team. If proved true, what the stadium's official name will be remains to be seen as "FirstEnergy Stadium" is presently home to the Reading Fighting Phils, the Eastern League affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. This, in addition to the stadium that houses the University of Akron soccer programs. In 2008, Progressive Insurance (headquartered in Mayfield, Ohio) purchased the naming rights to the ballpark which houses the Cleveland Indians, costing the publicly traded firm roughly $58 million for 16 years of rights. Two months prior, Progressive laid of 340 employees. This past November, FirstEnergy — having eliminated 200 positions in October — announced that it expects to cut up to 400 jobs by 2016 citing "struggles to stay profitable in a lackluster economy," one which has led to continued low demand and low power prices. As of 2010, First Energy reportedly employed 10,000 individuals and provided energy sources to 4.5 million customers. [Related: Kelly, Chudzinski, & Plan B….Was There One?]

Picking the Best Name in the Less-Than-Truckload Category
Zain is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a commonly used terminology in the world of trucks. LTL is different from truckload, as the former means that the goods being transported will not take the entire truck floor whereas the latter takes the full. Therefore, with LTL, you only pay for the space you occupy and not for the whole truck.
Truckers with large LTL exposure have been flying since the start of the year, thanks to recessionary times during which LTL is used more often than truckload (as people have got less to transport across the regions).
This company has more than doubled its market cap
Arkansas Best's (NASDAQ: ABFS) core LTL business has significant operating leverage to both price and volumes. Also, the company's investment in higher growth/return asset-light services should resonate well with investors. Arkansas Best acquired Panther for $180 million in 2012. Panther is a non-asset carrier player. Hence, through this acquisition, Arkansas has got exposure into truck brokerage as well.
For a long time, the company faced problems with its labor given that the latter wanted relaxations in terms of work flexibility. However, recently Arkansas Best has reached a deal with the Teamsters union, which has sent bullish signals to the market. Whereas, the agreement has come with an increase in wages for members of the union (which are mostly drivers), it will still be beneficial for the company. The company will be able to solve its network density issues.
However, sell-side analysts believe that despite a new contract, Arkansas' union workforce puts it at a significant competitive disadvantage in the LTL industry, and will likely remain a structural overhang on profitability for years to come. Therefore, a neutral rating is given on this company.
Another healthy LTL investment
With its pricing still below prior peaks, Con-way (NYSE: CNW) has one of the larger opportunities for price growth among the LTLs. Margin expansion on Con-way's Freight is also supported by continued progress on optimization initiatives. However, what remains unknown is at what pace Con-way will achieve pricing improvements. Morgan Stanley remains more skeptical on the pace of improvement than bulls.
The company has got a greater exposure to higher growing regional LTL markets. Company-wide adoption of LEAN will benefit both LTL and truckload segments. LEAN, is described by the company in the following way:
Lean is central to our strategy at Con-way Freight as we engage all employees in continuous improvement to provide the highest level of safe, responsive, and reliable service to our customers.
However, it should not be overlooked that the company is not a pure-play on the LTL mode of transportation. It also has a full truckload segment and hence is exposed to sluggish growth in the truckload segment in the US. Furthermore, Con-way's higher financial leverage versus its peers may pose incremental downside risk if macro uncertainty increases.
The best LTL player out there
Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ: ODFL)) has remained a favorite in this space for quite some time. Superior execution versus peers will continue to drive market share gains as well as profitability. Old Dominion's cost advantage, strong service, and use of 3PLs is likely to drive volume growth well in excess of the overall LTL industry, and will support significant long-term earnings growth and out-performance.
Old Dominion has recently started 3PL, or a third-party logistics unit, to respond to customer demands for increasingly complex supply-chain solutions. The unit, Vault Logistics, will operate as an independent division within Old Dominion and also as a neutral third-party service provider, meaning it can use other carriers besides Old Dominion if customer needs warrant.
The company has also earned a place in the must-buy list of Goldman Sachs. The only potential headwind is that after achieving such a heavy margin expansion, there remains less room for more expansion.
Final word
LTLs have seen their revenue surging higher given weakness of demand for TL freights. As far as the companies are concerned, Old Dominion remains the best pick in this space given its new initiatives and superior execution of business. Arkansas Best has some headwinds in the form of an increase in expenditures as a result of its recently signed pact with the Teamsters union. Conway is exposed to the truckload segment, which means that its poor performance will impact growth in the LTL business.

When I heard the title I immediately flashed back to Tony Scott's 1990 Kevin Costner/Madeleine Stowe movie. Turns out Stowe is a major character in this "Revenge" too, even if she is playing the Anthony Quinn role.
A distaff "Count of Monte Cristo" set in The Hamptons, ABC's "Revenge" is the brainchild of Mike Kelley, who wrote for "Providence," "One Tree Hill" and "The OC" before he created "Swingtown." The new series is about a hot young woman who uses an unexpected inheritance and a new identity in her quest for payback against the wealthy people she blames for the long-ago ruin of her late, beloved father.
It stars the fabulous Emily Van Camp of "Everwood" and "Brothers & Sisters" fame.
The scenery is pretty but the dialogue gets pretty awful and the characters aren't terribly nuanced. I didn't hate "Revenge" the way I hated, say, ABC's new "Charlie's Angels," but I was never tempted with the second episode.
The critics were all over the place:
... it's just not that good. You're fully ready for to indulge your less noble instincts, but the whole thing is just sort of tasteless and bland. ... seems like it got lost on the way to the CW, or ABC Family, or some network that requires glossy, predictable soaps that don't ask much of the viewer except a high tolerance for colorless dialogue, uncomplicated plots and transparent motivations. …
... overwritten, contrived ...
... just enough campy suspense to be enjoyable. ...
... As is often the case with melodrama, I find "Revenge" essentially unconvincing and also quite likable. At times, it has something of the sound and silliness of kids playing at being sophisticated adults. ...
... campy and kinda fun....
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:
.... the pace is often undermined by a one-two punch of bad dialogue delivered poorly. …
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
... has enough meaty characters and plot possibilities to keep it going for years. ...
... not-quite-camp, never-convincing ...
… delightfully frivolous …
... The show looks great, and it often sounds good, particularly when Emily is delivering a line we know is nasty but her victim doesn't. ...
... Intriguing and genuinely fun – though you worry about its long-term appeal ...
... doesn't quite pop, even with an opening murder to set the wheels in motion. Although the show incorporates the symbol for infinity, in terms of timelines, earning a full season order provides a more pressing concern. … there are traces of "Desperate Housewives" in "Revenge's" DNA, ABC's latest serial feels oh-so-last decade, which, particularly in the Hamptons, is about as thematically stylish as wearing white after Labor Day.

there's nothing here that i need to break the bank over.

Why are some recent TV shows only released on standard def DVD and not on Blu?
by Daniel_S_Duvall
COMMUNITY springs to mind. I'd shell out for Blu-rays of that series but refuse to pay for standard def DVDs since I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that there'll be Blu-rays of it in the future.

by dukeroberts
5 seasons in 2 years. WTH? 140 episodes. WTH? It also said that House of Payne ran for 8 seasons over nearly 6 years with a total of 255 episodes. WTH? That's more than any other show with a black cast in TV history. They aired 62 episodes in the last season. That's crazy.

Can't afford any TV right now
by jim
Spent my dough picking up the Digibook "Jaws" Blu-ray, along with the ones for "All Quiet on the Western Front", "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Man Who Would be King" (last one not part of the Universal 100th Anniversary series, but it also had a little book inside, and is as equally a brilliant film as the others so I felt like it belonged in my collection next to them).

I'll even watch crappy Anniston movie just because she's in it. what can i say. Jen's adorable. The only other pic i'd replace it with would be a naked Angelina Jolie. See what i did there?

i dont usually fall for stupid TV ploy bullshit, but that cover For "Hart of Dixie" is amazing. She is so hot, and so sexy on that cover, its almost unbelievable. Something about her face, and the rest..this is the only poster in which i would blow up and place on my living room wall as a shrine to stare at every morning and night, i cant even make any jokes about boners or masturbation, it would be too disrespectful to that beautiful angel who grace's us with her very existence. heres to you Rachel Bilson, my number one dream squeeze...

SO, so, so, so, so pissed at Showtime. No internet or cable, so I'll rent my favorite cable series off DVD, such as Dexter.
by openthepodbaydoorshal
At the beginning of each disc Showtime runs their promo with scenes from each series. It can't be advanced or fast forwarded. For the two or three seconds that they highlight Dexter, they show the season ending cliffhanger. At first I thought it was just an edited montage, but it fit together too well. And voila. The end of the season is telegraphed at the beginning of each disc that you can't skip past. Thanks Showtime.
Aug. 23, 2012, 4:39 p.m. CST
@openthepodbaydoorshal, I've come across stuff like that before
by jim
HBO did a preview on the 5th season DVD of Oz for the last season. If anyone out there has yet to see the series, DO NOT WATCH THAT FINAL SEASON PREVIEW!!! It not only gives away the fates of some characters, but actually shows a compressed version of how the series ends. Not kidding. When I watched it I figured it was just some stuff, a tease for what was to come. Nope, not a tease or red herrings, it was the highlights of the season boiled down to a couple of minutes. Murder One first season DVD - on the episode list of each disc there are quick clips from the episodes on that disc. Problem is, some of the clips are from the 4th episode on that disc, discussing revelations or events from the previous 3. Can be very spoilery. Whenever I lend the series out to people I make sure to warn them "don't watch the clips on the menu screen. Just go into the menu and click on the episode you want to watch". I only watch the special features after I've seen the season. Another gripe is making of/bloopers, etc special features scattered across 5 or 6 discs of a show's season. Either put them all on the last disc, or on a separate one. I hate having to go back and hunt them down. Worse is renting the series - In that case I'll pretty much skip any features because more often than not they will contain spoilers for the episodes on later discs.

After reading Tracy Baxter's article of Sept. 10, "Center-line rumble strips keep drivers in their place," it sounds like a no-brainer.
The simple fact these rumble strips will save lives is enough to speed up the installation statewide. I hope the governor is a Tracy Baxter fan because if he is, these CARDS will and should be a priority of the DOT.
I wonder how many families' lives would not have been affected if they were installed on our roads years ago. We should all be screaming for CARDS to our politicians.
P.S. to all Orange County motorists: The center line is not for your left front tire or worse.

Although fraud can't be condoned, it isn't surprising that the chaotic, unfair school property tax is wide open for abuse.
The $28 billion in property off the tax rolls for religious tax exemptions invites skepticism. How much private "holy" land can we continue to support with our property taxes?
Not to mention the multiple billions in exemptions for corporations that haven't delivered on promised jobs.
How can we justify forfeiture of homes and all equity in those homes because the school tax has risen beyond a family's ability to pay?
Remember, there is no income limit on property taxes, such as there is on almost every other tax.
How can we justify so many school districts with their expensive bureaucracies swelling the onerous tax burden? Add into the mix a pastiche of subjective assessment practices and you wonder why there isn't even more fraud.
The state mandates the use of most of our school property taxes, and in addition has handed over to corporations the lucrative and excessive testing component plaguing our schools.
In light of all these problems and complications, the state must take over funding of education.
It is the state's constitutional responsibility to provide an "adequate and equal" education to each child. Every year, the state rebates $16 billion in taxes collected from stock transfers to an already flush Wall Street for no good reason other than possibly fattening campaign contributions. That's enough to pay for schools and a much more justifiable use of taxpayer money.

In going door-to-door campaigning for the recent Tusten Democratic primary, it became apparent that there are many mistruths about the Tusten Community Garden project spreading like Japanese knotweed up and down the Upper Delaware River corridor.
Even folks in Livingston Manor all the way over to the shores of the Hudson Valley are telling stories about this project not based in fact but in fiction. To clarify, here are the basic facts:
I thank you for taking the time to read the facts about a simple community project that has taken on a rural mythology of its own in the past couple of growing seasons.
A heartfelt "thank you" goes out to all the business owners, volunteers, organizations and citizens who have graciously supported the community garden over the last two years.

SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is helping
to break through the "wall of silence" that isolates clergy
from discussing substance abuse problems with their congregants.
A new CSAT report, Core Competencies for Clergy and Other Pastoral
Ministers in Addressing Alcohol and Drug Dependence and the Impact
on Family Members, summarizes the basic knowledge, skills,
and attitudes that ministers, priests, rabbis, imams, and other
religious leaders need to help addicted individuals and their families.
Developed in partnership with the National Association for Children
of Alcoholics (NACoA) and the Johnson Institute, the report outlines
a dozen key steps.
"These core competencies will give clergy an effective tool
to help address drug abuse and alcoholism before individuals and
families are in crisis," said CSAT Director H. Westley Clark,
Congregational leaders have many opportunities to provide information,
guidance, and comfort to congregants and family members affected
by alcohol and drug dependence. But all too often, those opportunities
are lost.
"Every week, religious leaders of different faiths look out
into their congregations and see people who are dealing with substance
abuse issues," said NACoA Executive Director Sis Wenger. "Many
of them, however, don't recognize the symptoms of substance abuse
or the fear and confusion felt by the children of persons with substance
use disorders. As a result, they don't offer their support."
A big part of the problem is that clergy simply aren't trained
to recognize or address such problems. In fact, a panel of experts
convened by SAMHSA in 2001 found that few clergy training programs
specifically address the topic of addiction or its effects on children
and families. To fill that gap, the panel recommended the development
of a set of core competencies clergy members should have.
Determining what those competencies should be was the goal of
a 2-day meeting convened by SAMHSA in 2003. Congregational leaders,
researchers, physicians, academicians in both secular and religious
institutions, and others representing diverse religious perspectives
and congregations came together to reach a consensus on ways to
address this pervasive problem.
Designed to provide a general framework that religious leaders
can apply to diverse situations, the core competencies reflect the
typical clergy member's multiple roles. Several competencies, for
example, address the clerical role of providing comfort and support
to parishioners. To fulfill that role with substance-abusing individuals
and their families, clergy members should learn to recognize signs
of dependence, understand addiction's effect on individuals and
their families, and know the characteristics of each stage of recovery.
But getting congregants the help they need means more than just
making referrals, the report emphasizes. "While referrals may
be appropriate," the report notes, "alone they are insufficient."
Well-prepared clergy should know how treatment can benefit addicted
individuals and their families, be familiar with 12-step groups
and other community resources that can help them, and be able to
express concern, caring, and hope. Children need special attention,
the report stresses, because substance abuse affects the whole family.
Clergy and other pastoral ministers can connect them with appropriate
support services and act as safe, reliable confidants.
After establishing a list of core competencies, the panel assembled
suggestions for dissemination. A public education campaign using
what the report calls "an interdenominational voice" was
one suggestion for reaching religious, professional, and lay audiences.
Even more important, the participants offered recommendations
for integrating the core competencies into both seminary and post-ordination
training programs for clergy.
"These core competencies establish the base for possibly
the biggest cross-denominational educational effort of its kind,"
said Johnny W. Allem, president of the Johnson Institute. "They
pave the way for community-based pastoral counseling training centers
and 185 accredited American seminaries to have a common approach
to bring both faith and science to bear on this disease."
The American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) is partnering
with NACoA and the Johnson Institute to include the core competencies
in its pastoral counseling and credentialing programs. According
to Douglas Ronsheim, D.Min., AAPC Executive Director, "Congregational
leaders are responding to issues of substance abuse and affected
family members at increasing rates." At the same time, they
are hesitant to counsel in areas outside their expertise. The core
competencies will increase the clergy's capacity to respond more
effectively to the needs of their congregational members.
The report suggests the development of several educational tools
based on the competencies, including a continuing education curriculum,
a preaching and teaching guide with sample sermons, and a bibliography
of resources on addiction and spirituality.
Clergy members' influence can extend beyond their own congregations,
the report points out. By reshaping congregational attitudes and
norms, the clergy helps to reshape wider community norms.
"The people whom SAMHSA serves are the very same people who
turn to clergy every day," said SAMHSA Administrator Charles
G. Curie, M.A., A.C.S.W. "This report is the beginning of a
long process that will result in educational segments being incorporated
into seminary courses that will help train clergy and pastoral ministers
across denominations to deal with substance abuse issues."
