What's your million-dollar idea to change the world?
Every year, the TED Prize is given to one innovative thinker who has what it takes to make a difference -- by putting one million dollars into action in order to fulfill a world-changing vision.
Since nominations are open for the 2014 TED Prize, we wanted to put our heads together with you, the TED community, and brainstorm even further: How would you choose to make an impact with one million dollars? What would you like to see as next year's TED Prize wish to inspire the world?
This is a space for you to get your mental gears turning. If you would like to officially nominate a mentor, colleague, friend -- or even yourself -- head to www.tedprize.org by Sunday, June 16.

May 23 2013: I like your idea. For me I do not necessarily want to homestead but I still want a tiny house. Realization that we don't need all the stuff in our lives. What we really desire is relationships and the free time to pursue whatever we want. Tiny houses enable people to do this because it enables them to escape the chains of their job.
May 24 2013: LaMar, I absolutely agree with this!
The benefits of utilizing our earth in a symbiotic way with nature are too numerous to count.
As an 'off-the-gridder' myself, is also tremendous sense of pride and a feeling of connectedness in this way of life, in sustaining yourself and family.
I feel society is too dependent on authority to fix our problems - we've forgotten how to do the most basic things to ensure our survival! We take for granted everything we have, and everything we don't need.

IAMRS primes to educate with MCR program
August 14, 2002
The International Association of Mold Remediation Specialists (IAMRS) is offering a new Master Certification Remediation program.
The MCR program consists of two years of fieldwork or a degree in related industry, as well as attendance at an IAMRS-approved mold school; documentation proving OSHA compliance-appropriate insurance, employee training and written operational procedures; and a passing score on an IAMRS examination demonstrating knowledge of guidelines and standards for mold remediation.
The new program sets higher standards than what previously existed in the industry, according to the association.

"Wanting a committed relationship and conducting yourself as such does not make you clingy. It is possible to want a relationship and to be cool at the same time, despite whatever Bro Code propaganda you might have read online. Acting like you don't want something serious in efforts to not appear clingy doesn't protect your feelings – it just forces you to continue acting when he says he doesn't want something serious either."

Re: The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!
Saw a bunch of TDKR and G.I. JOE 2 figures at a Wal-mart this morning. I'm taking a pass on them both, though, as I think I've got enough Batman and particularly Joe figures & vehicles for now.
Aside from a few imported anime toys every once in a while, I think the only real stuff I'm getting these days are random 3.75-inch Marvel figures that strike my fancy...

"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled." (Wikipedia).
In French, the UDHR is La Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l'Homme.

A debate is, basically, an argument. That is not to say that it is an undisciplined shouting match between parties that passionately believe in a particular point of view. In fact the opposite is true. Debating has strict rules of conduct and quite sophisticated arguing techniques and you will often be in a position where you will have to argue the opposite of what you believe in.
Tark is the the name given to Hindi debate competition of Antaragni. Like all debates it is all about pouring one's thoughts in a simple and logical way in concord with the theme or subject given to one.
Tark in Antaragni
This event will consist of three rounds.
First round will be extempore. Each participant will be given a topic and 15 seconds to think over it, and then he/she will have to speak for 2+1 minutes. Participant must speak for at least 2 minutes; otherwise he or she may lose some points.
Based on performance in 1st round 12 participants will be chosen for the 2nd round.
2nd round will also be extempore, but not a normal extempore a lot more than that. Rules for the 2nd round will be disclosed after the 1st round.
8 participants will be selected for the final round which will be Debate. Topic for debate will be posted on the website 10 days before the festival begins. Participants will get sufficient time for preparation of 3rd round.
In final round each participant will be given time of 5+2 minutes for putting across his/her points and drawing a conclusion.
Participants have to participate individually in this event.

Eighteen months after Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian got divorced, Kris's family has broken their silence. Kris's Aunt Dedria and Uncle Mike have come forth and echoed the sentiments Kris has been litigiously implicating for over a year now: That his and Kim's marriage was a sham; that Kim only wed him for ratings; and that Kris Jenner is the evil, mustache-twirling mastermind behind it all.
Aunt Dedria, who had no idea who Kim was when she learned that her nephew was engaged to her, stated: "It was a sham. My understanding of marriage is people are going to give it more than 72 days unless there's serious abuse. If I felt somebody had duped me and used me in front of the whole world, I would be very angry." She then added: "An annulment says it wasn't valid in the first place. She should admit that it was a sham at the very least." Uncle Mike, who used less euphemistic terminology said: "I can just see him wanting a pound of flesh back. I believe he wants payback." He then blasted Kris Jenner, saying: "He wants to thump that mom -- she uses people. I would dearly love for her to get thumped. She's the mastermind. You can just see that's the brains making that thing go. The wicked part is she's using her family to make that thing. All of it's really due to her." He also called Kanye a "chump" for getting "mixed up" with Kim.
I wouldn't dispute anything Uncle Mike or Aunt Dedria said, as I, too, believe that Kim and Kris's marriage was solely for the purpose of ratings. But at the same time, having relatives speak to the media is just turning this shit show into more of a media circus than it already is. I think most people think Kim married Kris for fame. No need to belabor the point by having relatives come out of the woodwork.
Part of me hopes that Kris gets what he wants, as it would be epically awesome if Kim had to come out and say their marriage was fake, but another part of me just wants this to be over with. Enough already. I feel bad that Kris got/is getting/will get screwed, but I think it's time he close this chapter of his life and move on already.
Do you think Kim and Kris' marriage was fake?
Image via Splash
I don't think Kim married Kris solely for fame and I don't think she divorced him because of fame (or lack thereof) either. She's a public person who thrives on publicity (and it's how she makes her money). Perhaps part of what was appealing to her about him was that she thought people who think Kris would be well matched partner for her. I think it's disgusting to suggest she went through with the marriage just for fame. Also, I don't think Kris got screwed in the least. He's way more famous now than he ever was before, and who says he didn't marry her just for the fame? His aunt and uncle need to STFU. They know about as much about this marriage as I do!

Maalaala Mo Kaya January 5 2013, the first MMK episode of the year, has Prince of Pop Erik Santos in a very dramatic role. This is actually Erik's second guest appearance on the top-rating drama anthology. Erik, here plays the role of Roque, a quiet, shy and reticent guy. Because of this behavior, Roque found it difficult to court the girl of his dreams - his childhood crush Merlinda (portrayed by Charee Pineda). He then asked for the help of his very supportive younger brother Raul (Aaron Villaflor) to win her heart. Eventually, Merlinda gave her "sweet yes" to Roque. As the relationship of Merlinda and Roque progressed and led them closer to the altar, Raul realized that he, too was falling in love with Merlinda. How will Roque ever be able to forgive his brother and the love of his life if they had betrayed him to the point that she even chose to marry Raul instead of him.
This Saturday's episode will definitely prove that Erik Santos has all the potentials to be a very good actor, and we hope to see more of him in similar acting projects. With Erik, Aaron and Charee in the cast are Cris Villanueva (as the old Roque), Dominic Ochoa (as the old Raul), Levi Ignacio, Deborah Sun, Efren Reyes, Pinky Marquez and Arjo Atayde. It is directed by Mae Czarina Cruz and written by Joan Habana, together with researcher Agatha Lee Ruadap. The episode was filmed in Barangay Sto. Nino, Tanay, Rizal.

The FDIC has accused the group of banks responsible for setting the London Interbank Offered Rate -- LIBOR -- of the "manipulation and suppression" of the rate resulting in the defrauding of banks not in on the scheme. The FDIC suit seeks unspecified damages, but does name 38 banks as being harmed by the LIBOR scandal.
The LIBOR rate underpins $350 trillion in derivatives and $10 trillion in loans around the world as estimated by the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission. The suit alleges that the illegal manipulation took place from April 2007 through mid-2011.
Charges include breach of contract, unjust enrichment, fraud, conspiracy and negligent misrepresentation. HSBC (HSBC) , Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Barclays (BCS) Deutsche Bank AG (DB), Credit Suisse Group (CS) , UBS AG (UBS) , Lloyds Banking Group (LYG) Societe Generale; The Norinchukin Bank of Japan, Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank, B.A. of the Netherlands, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Portigon AG. and the U.K. trade organization British Banks' Association were all named in the lawsuit.

Welcome to another edition of the Morning Heel, a daily feature here at Keeping It Heel. Along with The Hub we want to bring you not only our original content but a collection of all the best UNC news. Have a link to suggest? [email protected]
No. 11 UNC Women Topple Georgia Tech, 79-58
Redshirt freshman Megan Buckland came off the bench and led No. 11 North Carolina (17-1, 5-0 ACC) to a 79-58 win against Georgia Tech (8-8, 1-4 ACC) in Carmichael Arena on Sunday. The guard's 19 points marked a career-high for Buckland, while her five three-pointers also set a personal best. (GoHeels.com)
Four Corners: UNC Post FSU
Welcome to another edition of Four Corners where we highlight four thoughts regarding the ACC. (KIH)
UNC Basketball: Tar Heels Own Glass At Florida State
North Carolina needed an edge on the road in Tallahassee and they discovered on the backboard dominating the glass with 41 rebounds to Florida States 19. Florida State has the reputation over the years of being tough defensively and dominate on the backboards. The question is what did North Carolina do to create such an advantage on the offensive (KIH)
UNC-FSU: Roy Williams Postgame Quotes
Did you see Jackson's type of performance coming? "He does this every day in practice – he gives you 100 percent effort. And what was his first big-time play today? He dove on the dadgum floor. He dove on the floor and I think we made a three from the far side. He had three big plays and so I knew I was going to give him some chances in the second half as well." (Inside Carolina)
FSU outplayed in crunch time, loses to North Carolina
Hosting North Carolina for the first time since last January, the Seminoles were hopeful a scene similar to last year's 33-point Tar Heels thrashing would play out at the conclusion of this season's ACC home opener. But a sequence of late-game turnovers and a missed 3-pointer in the closing seconds combined for a 77-72 loss Saturday. (Orlando Sentinel)
UNC-Florida State Postgame Notes
P.J. Hairston scored a career-high 23 points to lead UNC to a 77-72 win at Florida State on Jan. 12, 2013, in the Tucker Center in Tallahassee. Hairston set a career high for field goals, shooting 9 for 14 from the floor, and hit 4 of 9 three-point tries. He also grabbed four rebounds in 28 minutes. Jackson Simmons, celebrating his 20th birthday, scored a career-high eight points and grabbed four rebounds. (GoHeels.com)
Closing Strong
North Carolina lost its first three road games against power conference opponents by an average of 17 points. The Tar Heels reversed that trend on Saturday by making critical plays in the final minutes to secure a gritty 77-72 victory over Florida State. (Inside Carolina)
North Carolina Basketball: Victory over FSU Marks Turning Point for Tar Heels
North Carolina basketball isn't dead, folks. With the 77-72 win over Florida State, the Tar Heels showed they aren't ready to just roll over. In a game filled with potential breaking points, the team never snapped. And for the first time this season, it gave 100 percent effort for the entire 40 minutes. UNC is back in the mix and the victory over FSU will mark the turning point for this program. (Bleacher Report)

Since you don't have the market, the QR codes point to a blank link, essentially. I don't think you can just install the market from anywhere, but you might be able to find either a custom ROM or an SBF file for your model that'll reinstall Android with the Market integrated.

I believe that Google and your country's government may not have an agreement to let your phone access the Android Market. Without this agreement, you will not be able to visit links sending you to the Android Market. You may want to try and download an app like AndroidPIT App Center, or App Brain, or Androidzoom. These apps will let you download apps, just like the Android Market, but they are not as big, and don't have as many apps as the official Android Market.

BIG BAD JOHN - on 13 Sep 2012
Tried climbing with the scouts many years ago and got bad leg shake and ended up being lowered of. Now at the grand old age of 55 I made the decision to give it another go and attended a climbing course in the Peak District in July. Now to be perfectly honest the instructor knew of my previous experience and kept me on a tight top rope, and we only attempted various moderate to difficult climbs, but despite this I absolutely loved it and was on a high for days. Whilst originaly it was meant to be a one of thing, a tick of my bucket list, I now want some more. Any ideas on where to go from here?

PRINCETON, N.J. (January 15, 2012) – Rutgers senior Nwamaka Okobi (Freeport, N.Y.) won a pair of events, including posting a school record as women's track and field competed against St. Johns', Saint Joseph's and host Princeton in a quad meet on Saturday, Jan. 14, at Jadwin Gym.
The Scarlet Knights placed third with 108 points, behind second-place St. John's (119) and meet winner Princeton (195). Saint Joseph's was fourth with 100 points.
"We had some good performances in a number of events today," said head coach James Robinson. "We're improving our performances across the board each week and obtaining more BIG EAST and ECAC qualifying marks. The next three competitions will help our student-athletes become sharper as the championship season rolls around."
Okobi broke her previous school record in the triple jump which she set last month at the Princeton New Year's Invitational on Dec. 10. She won the triple jump Saturday with a mark of 41'1" (12.51 meters), both a BIG EAST and ECAC qualifying distance. Okobi also took home a victory in the long jump, recording a leap of 19'2.5" (5.85 meters), another BIG EAST and ECAC qualifier.
Joining Okobi with event victories was sophomore Kristen Bradley (Medford, N.J.) and freshman Meagan Robinson (Burlington, N.J.). Bradley won the high jump, clearing a height of 5'5" (1.65 meters), while Robinson claimed top honors in the 60-meter hurdles, clocking a time of 9.09.
Also turning in strong performances for the Scarlet Knights was junior Ekene Ugboaja (Edison, N.J.) who placed third in the triple jump with a BIG EAST qualifier of 38'10.75' (11.85 meters). Junior Jennifer Spitzer (Fairport, N.Y.) and sophomore Ashley Deckert (Newfield, N.J.) each posted fifth-place times in their respective events. Spitzer ran a time of 5:05.68 (BE qualifier) in the mile, while Deckert clocked a 2:57.30 (BE qualifier) in the 1,000-meter.
The Scarlet Knights will return to action on Friday, Jan. 20 for the Great Dane Classic at the NY Armory in Bronx, N.Y.

Tech Talk – Dec 8, 2010
There's been a lot of talk recently about Open Content, but also a lot of questions. What exactly is it, why should we use it, and how can we implement it? A "Tech Talk" given at UK shed a great deal of light on these topics. Also touched upon was Course Capture, specifically focusing on Echo 360, a capture system which has been recently implemented into the College of Medicine, and soon will be available for all of UK. This blog entry hopes to summarize the myriad interesting points made during the talk, and offer a few suggestions about how we can implement these features at UK, especially in the A&S Online Education department.
So first off, what is Open Content? Wiktionary defines it simply as content which is "freely distributable and/or able to be edited, added to, and/or repaired." Some of the Open Content on the web is not aimed towards or useful for educational purposes, but there is a great deal which is. Dr. Cable Green, who led the presentation about Open Content, specifically discussed Open Education Resources, which he defined as "teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or repurposing by others." So why should we be concerned with this form of content?
Dr. Green made several valid points about the benefits of sharing content. First, having content out there in the open allows instructors to have more choices when they are creating their courses, and to be able to implement ideas, texts, and other forms of media in their course which they would not be able to otherwise. A second benefit of Open Content is that it is free, which is very attractive in a time when textbooks average about $100 a piece and students are unable or unwilling to afford them. Self-interest is also a factor, as sharing content can garner you more attention, allowing for grants and other opportunities. Finally, it comes down to social justice; many believe that everyone should have the right to access the knowledge and information which is on the web. In a nutshell, Dr. Green supplied a simple idea: give "public access to publicly funded educational materials."
These are all good points, but how can a university which is based mostly on textbooks, subscriptions to journals, and other published, paid-for media, transition to using Open Content on a regular basis? Dr. Green supplied the advice to use technology strategically, to use others' content, and to begin putting your own content out there. But where to even start? To start, it's best to see what kind of things are even out there, which can seem to be a daunting prospect, considering the huge amount of content out there. It can also be difficult to know whether the source you are using is a reliable, academic resource. A great place to start is the website for Open Educational Resources, which can be found at http://www.oercommons.org/. Another great website is http://www.opencontent.org . The Google suite offers many free tools, such as Gmail, Docs, and Blogger, among many others, and these can be very useful in a course. There is a list of some Open Content Repositories mentioned by Dr. Green at the end of this article. In short, search around on the internet for Open Content and do some research if needed to check the reliability of the source.
The second step is to decide how to implement these sources into your course. Some may choose to still use a published textbook and use the Open Content as supplementary material. Others may choose to do away with textbooks altogether and rely solely on Open Content. This is up to the instructor and how they think the content will best fit their course goals. I think the one important thing to keep in mind is that the quality of the course and its content should not go down by using Open Content. This was a worry of one audience member during the talk, who mentioned that the publishing companies keep standards and quality within texts and that the quality can go down as Open Content becomes more prevalent. I think this could be true, but that it can be avoided if instructors and students make sure they are using legitimate, scholarly sources in their courses and research. I believe it is better to begin implementing Open Content into courses, even in small amounts, as soon as possible, because if we do not change now, it will be that much harder to catch up and understand as Open Content becomes more and more accepted.
The second section of the talk, given by C. Darrell Jennings Jr, MD, the Senior Associate Dean for Medical Ed, focused on the College of Medicine's implementation of the Echo 360 Lecture Capture system over the past two years. When considering which capture system they would need, they had three main concerns: that the faculty would not need any technical knowledge to operate the system; that students could use whatever platform or device they wanted to access the material (PC, Mac, iPhone, etc.), and that it would be easily integrated with the systems already implemented at UK, such as Blackboard and iTunesU. Echo360 fulfilled all of these criteria, and with its success in the College of Med, it is being extended to the rest of campus starting next semester (Spring '11).
There were two things which really stood out to me from this section of the talk. The first was how successful this actually was with students. Over 90% of the students surveyed agreed that having the lecture captures available to them outside of class helped them in their studies. Even more surprising was the reaction of the students when the Echo 360 system temporarily crashed, leaving the videos inaccessible right before a big exam. Hundreds of emails were sent to the technical staff, asking not only if the videos would be back up soon, but if the exams would be pushed back because the videos were inaccessible! I think this really shows how well the students took to using the videos, and how invaluable the videos really were to the students.
Now, this may lead some to believe that the reason this videos were so important was because the students were not coming to class and needed to watch the videos to see what they had missed. This, in fact, was not the case, which leads me to the second thing which surprised me from this talk. The College of Med has not seen a trend of students skipping class! They noticed that while classes did not have perfect turnout the people that were missing were those that would have missed before anyway… and they did better in the course than if the videos were not available. According to the survey given to the students, the top four uses were as a study supplement (either reviewing or clarifying topics), while the fifth was as a substitute to coming to class. I feel that this is not a bad reason to watch the videos, however. Things come up in students' lives which cause them to miss class, and being able to catch up and still learn the material (which should be the goal of the course, anyway) is a great thing.
This talk also pointed out a few useful "Lessons Learned" while using Echo 360. The first was that the demand exceeded their expectations, and it grew faster than the technical capabilities could handle. Also, there were few policies and procedures, so it was hard to know how to handle a situation; for example, the students asking if the exams would be postponed because the videos were down. Another issue was the rapid assimilation into routine process and daily expectations of performance. Others were soon wanting this same treatment, and even alumni or other members of the UK community who are not students began wanting to have access to the content. While making all of the content open could solve this problem, the University has to decide if they are able to or even want to do this. All of these things should be considered when implementing Echo 360, but I hope more instructors will begin to use the lecture capture software in their courses, as I think it will help foster an even better learning environment.
Finally, the last section of the Tech Talk was given by Chris Huff, a representative from Echo 360. He presented material from a case study of the San Francisco State University as they used Echo 360. SFSU had many pressures upon them, including shrinking budgets, growing enrollments, and a desire to increase the rate of student graduation. Their solution was to offer "Hyflex" courses, which were both hybrid (online and face to face) and flexible (students can decide how they want to attend class). The four criteria which they wanted the classes to have were: learner choice, so that the students could choose how they wanted to attend (online or face to face); equivalency, so that the course provided equivalent learning activities for all students; reusability, so that they could preserve and utilize artifacts; and accessibility, so that students had the skills and ability to succeed. The most interesting thing to me about these courses was that within the Moodle shell (Moodle is another Learning Management System, like Blackboard), there were three sections for students. The first was for those students who were going to attend class, the second was a section for those who were going to "attend" class online, and the third was information pertaining to both. This way, students could choose how they wanted to attend class all semester, or just for a particular day. This flexibility is great for students who work or have families, and I like that you don't have to choose whether you want a class which is completely online or completely face to face.
Again, the issue comes up about whether students are actually attending classes. This case study shows that their students' attendance actually increased, primarily because they felt more prepared for class and didn't fall behind to the point that they felt they could never catch up. They did notice that the people who were going to skip anyway, still skipped, but they still did better than they would have in a traditional class. I think this idea of a Hyflex course is great, and I would love to see if it could be implemented here at UK.
Overall, the "Tech Talk" offered a great deal of useful information about Open Content and Lecture Capture. I hope that UK can embrace these features and use them to get us even closer to our Top 20 goals, and more importantly, to continue to be a great learning environment.

Panel: NSPS lessons and future of pay-for-performance
Friday - 1/27/2012, 10:50am EST

As DoD turns its attention to developing a system to succeed NSPS, The Federal Drive with Tom Temin spoke with a panel of experts about the lessons learned from NSPS and the future of pay-for-performance in the federal government.
- Pat Tamburrino, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Civilian Personnel Policy
- Patrick Nealon, Director of Deloitte Consulting LLP's Federal Total Rewards practice
- Bob Tobias, former member of the Defense Business Board task group that studied NSPS
DoD will release details of the successor of NSPS to Congress next month, Tamburrino said, but declined to provide specifics. However, the fundamental idea of effective performance management will remain in place.
The Defense Business Board found the performance management portion of NSPS was "excellent," Tobias said. But the board added that the pay-for-performance portion should be "significantly restructured."
The system was a "one-size-fits all" system, Nealon said. "For a performance management system, that often doesn't work, especially when you're looking at large populations like we had with the Defense Department."
Nealon said there was a disconnect between how first-level supervisors were implementing pay-for-performance and how NSPS required them to manage workers.
Managers must think about performance and communication differently. "It's not about the 365th day," Tobias said. Supervisors need to have "real-time engagement and not a perfunctory conversation that occurs once a year," he said.
In the past year, DoD has had an increased focus on supervisor training, Tamburrino said. Specifically, new supervisors must now go through a mandatory protocol training and then refresher training, which includes how to be a mentor and have "difficult" conversations when they are warranted.
"Supervision is an art," Tamburrino said. He added that the forthcoming report will put a greater emphasis on the selection of supervisors.
The Pentagon also made efforts to include all stakeholders in the development of the system.
DoD used three labor management design teams consisting of more than 100 individuals, Tamburrino said. They worked for about 18 months, and nearly seven months full-time, to design the system, he said.
"What the Department of Defense will give to the Congress is the report of the three labor management design teams," Tamburrino said. "And that's their report. That will not be edited by Department of Defense leadership."
Tobias said the collaboration with stakeholders will be evident in how the system is implemented. With NSPS, DoD had attempted to roll out the system too fast and "drove off a cliff." The new system, to be rolled out in February, was developed slowly with agreement across stakeholders, he said.
"Based on that agreement, there will be a very, very fast implementation," Tobias said.

And I'm So Sorry, But Not Really2 Reviews
it prolly wasn't a good idea for ryan to go over to Brendon's house...
''Took you long enough. i was worried you were suffering cardiac arrest.''
I laughed, tears rolling down my cheeks. ''It is you.''
''But of course.''
''So you're alive? I knew you weren't dead, I just knew it!''
''Ryan,'' he said, tone sad. ''I'm not alive.''
''...you're dead?'' I whispered.
''Well yeah. I got hit by a truck.''
A strangled sob escaped my throat. ''It should have been me. I should be dead, not you.''
''Don't say that Ryan. Please.''
''But it's true.''
''No it's not.''
I sighed. ''Wh-where are you? I want to see you.''
''I don't know if that would be a great idea.''
''Of course it's a good idea. you're my boyfriend and I love you. I just found out you're back from the dead and you're telling me it would be a bad idea to see you?''
''Yes. It's bad enough that I called you."
"What do you mean? Why is it bad?" My voice was confused.
"I don't know how to explain it. I'm dead. Yet, I'm...not. It's like, I have a body, but...I don't, at the same time. I'm not really a ghost, but I'm definitely not solid either. And, I'm not me anymore. It's like I have a split personality or something. That's why I can't see you. I don't want to hurt you."
"You would never hurt me. I'm sure of it."
"I don't know. I'm completely-"
He cut off, and there was a quiet coughing noise on the other line, almost like he was choking.
"Bren? Bren are you okay?"
The choking noise continued for a moment before his voice came back on the line. But he sounded...odd. His voice had a sneaky tone to it, and I could hear his smirk with every word.
"Why yes, I am completely fine. Why would I not be?"
"I..um, you just made a weird noise."
"No, I am perfectly okay. Hey, why don't you come over, and we can hang out?"
"But didn't you just say-"
He cut me off. "Never mind what I just said. Now come over. I am at my house."
"I, er, okay. Be there in a minute."
"I'll be waiting," he said in a smooth tone, and then the line went dead.
"Well that was...weird." I said to myself.
After a little while of cleaning myself up and making my hair presentable, I jumped in my car and drove over to Brendon's house. I pulled up in his driveway and walked up to the door, which, oddly, was hanging open. I went inside. "Bren?" I called.
I noticed that the decor of his house had...changed. A lot. Plus his parents were nowhere to be seen.
His normally clean house with white walls and brown furniture, looked like it was the house of the Addams family. The walls were painted black, and all the furniture was black as well. The carpet was still white, but it was dirty, and had huge red stains on it that I didn't even want to know what it was. The lamps had been taken out, and the lightbulbs removed from the ceiling lights. The whole house was lit by candles.
"Hello Ryan." Brendon's eerie voice came from behind me, as the door slammed shut. I thought I heard a click of the lock, but I might have been imagining things. I turned, and then Brendon was standing there, a smirk on his face. He looked different, but it was still him. He had all the wounds from when he was hit by the car
"Bren!" I ran and jumped at him, expecting to tackle him down in a hug. Instead I fell right through him, collapsing on the floor. He laughed, reaching down and grabbing my wrist. He pulled me up to stand.
"Silly Ryan. It's weird. You can't touch me, but I can touch you. See, try and poke me."
I did, and my finger went right through his chest. But when he poked me in the chest, it felt as solid as though he were alive.
"That's strange," I commented.
"No kidding," he replied sort of harshly.
Suddenly he pulled me into a hug, attacking my lips with his. I cautiously kissed him back. It felt weird, since he wasn't all there, but it was still familiar. He pulled away after a moment, taking my wrist. He pulled me into the kitchen, which also happened to be lit by candles.
"Bren what are you doing?"
He didn't answer. He sat me in a chair at the table, then went and closed the doors to the kitchen, locking them. Since when did the kitchen have doors? Let alone locking ones?
"Uhm...Bren..." I was a little nervous now.
"Oh shut up and stop calling me Brendon. I'm not Brendon."
He picked up a pair of handcuffs and clicked them around my wrist, effectively anchoring me to the chair. He then pulled a sharp silver dagger from his pocket.
I was very nervous now.
He growled. "I told you, I'm not Brendon!" And he plunged the dagger into my stomach.
I screamed, pain splintering through me. I felt blood running down my stomach and soaking into my clothes. 'Brendon' twisted the blade and I screamed again with the unbearable pain. Suddenly the blade wasn't in my stomach anymore, instead it was slashing across my chest, my neck, everywhere. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, I could only let out a bloodcurdling scream with the pain. And then the pain was on my face and in my head and blood was everywhere and I couldn't even scream anymore and the pain was worse and my vision flashed red and then white and then it faded altogether and my lungs collapsed and my spine cracked...and I died.
*a few days later*
My eyes snapped open, all traces of pain gone. I was still slumped in the chair, the handcuffs still around my wrists. I felt weird, and disoriented. I was confused, hadn't I just died? I looked down and saw I still had all my wounds, though they had stopped bleeding long ago. My clothes were covered in dried blood. I heard a quiet sniffle and sat up, looking around until I saw someone in the corner. Brendon was sitting on the floor with his knees pulled up to his chest. He had his forehead resting on his knees, and he was crying softly.
"Bren?" I spoke softly.
His head snapped up and his eyes widened. "R-ryan?"
"Yeah. It's me." I gave him a soft smile, one I knew he loved.
He stood up and walked over to me. He pulled the handcuffs off. "I thought you weren't coming back Ryan. I thought you were gone for good." He spoke quietly.
"Well, I'm back. As are you." I smiled and pulled him into a hug. I could touch him now, my hand didn't just float through him. I hugged him tightly, pressing my face into the crook of his neck. He hugged me back just as tightly.
"I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too Ryan. I'm so sorry for doing this to you." He whispered back.
"Doing what?"
He sighed.
"You'll see."

Hartley cited for Best incident
ESPN Staff
December 10, 2012
Dylan Hartley awaits his fate © Getty Images
Hartley's disciplinary record
England hooker Dylan Hartley could face a lengthy ban after he was cited for striking Rory Best during Northampton's Heineken Cup defeat to Ulster on Friday.
Hartley has been reported to the European Rugby Cup by match commissioner Jean-Claude Legendre for striking the Ireland international with his arm during the Saints' 25-6 defeat at Franklin's Gardens.
The 26-year-old, who only recently returned to action after suffering an injury that sidelined him from England's autumn Test campaign, will face a disciplinary hearing, probably this week.
The International Rugby Board sanctions for striking with the fist or arm range between a two-week ban and a maximum suspension of a year. Hartley therefore faces an anxious wait to discover his fate as Northampton travel to Belfast next Saturday needing victory to keep their hopes of a quarter-final place alive.
"Hartley is alleged to have struck Ulster Rugby forward Rory Best with his arm during the second half of the match at Franklin's Gardens," ERC said in a statement.
"Details of the hearing date and the appointed independent judicial officer will be announced shortly."
Hartley was banned for 26 weeks in April 2007 after being found guilty of eye-gouging Wasps players James Haskell and Jonny O'Connor. And earlier this year, he received an eight-week ban after he was cited for biting Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris during a Six Nations clash at Twickenham.
If Hartley is suspended for the Best incident, he could miss forthcoming Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup games for Northampton and it could also jeopardise his chances of reclaiming the England hooking berth that was impressively filled by Leicester's Tom Youngs during the autumn games.

I almost take it back - this deal is alright, aka the I'm a Genius thread
One last word on Dempster ...
It actually appears to have turned out almost exactly the way I wanted it to. Almost.
On the 21st of October, I proposed the following move: Step Two - Housekeeping: I offer the following deal to Ryan Dempster: 3 years for 36 million dollars, with a 4th year for 14 million that can be exercised mutually between team and player, or kicks in automatically if he averages 200 innings or more of work during seasons 1-3.
On the 18th of November, Dempster actually signed this contract, according to ESPN: He gets a $4 million signing bonus, $8 million next year, $12.5 million in 2010 and $13.5 million in 2011. Dempster has a 2012 option for $14 million.
In other words, I proposed a 3 year deal for 36 million plus a 14 million dollar option year, and Dempster signed a 3 year deal for 38 million, and a $14 million dollar option year. The only difference between my proposal and the real one is that Dempster's option year is player-controlled, while I wanted the Cubs to either push for a mutual or have it kick in automatically based on performance.
Don't get me wrong, everybody. I've expressed a healthy amount of skepticism, but only because I think that Dempster; Year 4 is going to be equally ugly and brutal. But I do think that he's going to mostly earn his pay, which is more than you can say about most pricey starting pitchers these days.
We'll talk about the 2012 ramifications later, but for now, I'm going to give a reluctant approval to this transaction. After all, it's almost exactly what I was pushing for, right?
Now if only Hendry would follow Step 2-A of my plan: I also offer Kerry Wood a 2 year deal for 15 million, with mutual options for a 3rd year at 8 million which also has an option to kick in automatically based on meeting performance goals.
If only.
And just like that, the
And just like that, the discussion is over.
And I will reluctantly say
that I kicked Kurt's Ass.....
That was fun.Anyway Teahanstrikes me as a god plan B. I would like to something more Solid in Right field. Something I haven't heard of----Brad Hawpe-like. But that's me
