An abscessed tooth is a dental condition in which the nerve, also referred to as the dental pulp, has become infected. The infection usually occurs when a dental cavity (tooth decay) goes untreated and spreads...

Operation Grit Grind and Shine is in full force.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton hopes to help get the Grizzlies out of an 0-2 hole in the Western Conference Finals against San Antonio.
The mayor, mascot Grizz and Elvis arrived on a boat at Mud Island River Park in a public show of support for the Grizzlies' success in the NBA playoffs and franchise's first conference finals appearance.
For the first time ever, six yellow and blue Grizzlies flags were raised on the south side of Mud Island River Park to show team spirit.
Mayor Wharton will temporarily raise six Memphis Grizzlies flags at the Southern tip of Mud Island, the American flag will remain flying at the center of this collection of seven flag poles.
With support from the Beale Street Merchants Association and the Greater Memphis Chamber, Mayor Wharton said the city plans to place large LED screens in the downtown area for outdoor public viewings of Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
"It doesn't cost you anything to get in and watch the game," the mayor said. "All you got to do is make sure you come in there and full of that Grizz spirit and you have to say three magic words to get in: 'Grit, grind and shine. Can y'all say that? Grit! Grind! And Shine!"
Keep your eyes to the skies Friday and throughout Memorial Day weekend because the Goodyear blimp is also scheduled to circle Memphis.
"When folks come in here, think of all the good stuff happening this week," the mayor added. "Thousands will be out for the Sunset Symphony. We're inviting them to stay over and think about that. Just an all day, all night party."
Mayor Wharton is also urging everyone to wear their Grizzlies colors Friday for Grizzlies Friday.
Game 3 is Saturday at 8 p.m. at FedExForum.
Game 4 is also at FedExForum on Monday, Memorial Day night. Gametime is also 8 p.m.

Introduced in the Ohio House on October 20, 2009, the "Firearms Freedom Act" (HB-315) seeks "To enact section 2923.26 of the Revised Code to provide that ammunition, firearms, and firearm accessories that are manufactured and remain in Ohio are not subject to federal laws and regulations derived under Congress' authority to regulate interstate commerce and to require the words "Made in Ohio" be stamped on a central metallic part of any firearm manufactured and sold in Ohio."
The bill was authored by State Representatives Morgan and Martin, and currently has 15 other co-sponsors. (h/t BuckeyeFirearms.org)
While the HB315's title focuses on federal gun regulations, it has far more to do with the 10th Amendment's limit on the power of the federal government. It specifically states:
The regulation of intrastate commerce is vested in the states under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, particularly if not expressly preempted by federal law. The congress of the United States has not expressly preempted state regulation of intrastate commerce pertaining to the manufacture on an intrastate basis of firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition.
Some supporters of the legislation say that a successful application of such a state-law would set a strong precedent and open the door for states to take their own positions on a wide range of activities that they see as not being authorized to the Federal Government by the Constitution.
Firearms Freedom Acts have already passed in both Montana and Tennessee, and have been introduced in a number of other states around the country. There's been no lack of controversy surrounding them, either. The Tenth Amendment Center recently reported on the ATF's position that such laws don't matter:
The Federal Government, by way of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms expressed its own view of the Tenth Amendment this week when it issued an open letter to 'all Tennessee Federal Firearms Licensees' in which it denounced the opinion of Beavers and the Tennessee legislature. ATF assistant director Carson W. Carroll wrote that 'Federal law supersedes the Act', and thus the ATF considers it meaningless.
Constitutional historian Kevin R.C. Gutzman sees this as something far removed from the founders' vision of constitutional government:
"Their view is that the states exist for the administrative convenience of the Federal Government, and so of course any conflict between state and federal policy must be resolved in favor of the latter."
"This is another way of saying that the Tenth Amendment is not binding on the Federal Government. Of course, that amounts to saying that federal officials have decided to ignore the Constitution when it doesn't suit them."
Advocates of these efforts say it doesn't matter if the federal government disagrees, or even threatens states over funding, as they did recently with Oklahoma. Gary Marbut, author of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, and founder of http://www.firearmsfreedomact.com/ took this position in a recent interview with the Tenth Amendment Center:
"We're not depending on permission from federal judges to be able to effectuate our state-made guns bills. And, we're working on other strategies to wrest essential and effective power from the federal government and put it where it belongs."
The principle behind such legislation is nullification, which has a long history in the American tradition. When a state 'nullifies' a federal law, it is proclaiming that the law in question is void and inoperative, or 'non-effective,' within the boundaries of that state; or, in other words, not a law as far as the state is concerned.
All across the country, activists and state-legislators are pressing for similar legislation, to nullify specific federal laws within their states.
A proposed Constitutional Amendment to effectively ban national health care will go to a vote in Arizona in 2010. Fourteen states now have some form of medical marijuana laws – in direct contravention to federal laws which state that the plant is illegal in all circumstances. And, massive state nullification of the 2005 Real ID Act has rendered the law nearly void.
While many advocates concede that a federal court battle has a slim chance of success, they point to the successful nullification of the Real ID Act as a blueprint to resist various federal laws that they see as outside the scope of the Constitution.
Some say that each successful state-level resistance to federal programs will only embolden others to try the same – resulting in an eventual shift of power from the federal government to the States and the People themselves.

Veal shanks are normally cut very thick but Lucinda prefers them to be about 3/4-inch thick. Ask your butcher for a special cut, otherwise they will need to cook longer. From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 6 pieces veal shank, cut about 3/4 inch thick
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, preferably Wondra
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups best-quality Italian white wine
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh orange peel
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh lemon peel
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Step 1
Generously season both sides of the veal shanks with salt and pepper. Lightly coat in the flour and shake off the excess.
Step 2
Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and swirl them around the pan. Add the shanks and cook for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add the wine to the pan and stir it occasionally to deglaze the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the meat and cook until tender, about 30-45 minutes more.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parsley, orange and lemon peel, and garlic. Serve the shanks topped with a sprinkling of the citrus-parsley mixture.

The music is pounding in your ears, the bass in your bones. People are being pushed into you. You're not entirely sure how you got into this club, a drink in your hand, and your body on the dance floor. Maybe it's just the fact that you're missing Jay. Not that you're looking for anyone, but it's lonely in the apartment when you're six hours away from him and he can't even take the time to call you. And maybe Jay's forgetful and maybe you're a little angry and so maybe when the man behind you wraps his arms around you, you don't bother to correct him. You just keep dancing, swaying to the beat with people pressed around you.
It's late when you stumble through the door; the music is still pounding in your ears and the beer is still coursing through your veins. The apartment is dark, empty, like you expect it to be. Your body is hot and sweaty and you're far from tired so you make your way to the bathroom and turn on the shower to wash the night away.
You haven't really done anything bad, innocent dancing. But you still feel dirty. The hot water feels good against your skin.
The shower is fogged and the water is loud and you miss the sound of the bathroom door opening. The intruder steps in and shuts the door with a bang. You can hear him now, rustling around and your breathing is coming in short gasps.
The shower door is opening and you back against the cold, tiled wall. Jay steps in, looking at you with intense eyes. He lets the steam surround him as he corners you against the wall, his hands on either side of your head. The water drenches him and maybe on a regular night he would look ridiculous with his curls falling flat against his forehead, but tonight it just looks obscene. It's been so long and you need this. Need him.
He leans in and you think he's going to kiss you but he presses the entirety of himself against you and whispers in your ear - "you were out late tonight, babe". His voice is taunting and harsh and low. You can feel his cock pressed against you, he's hard and you know he's getting off on this. This anger.
You're both angry.
He goes to kiss you, not bothering with gentility as his pries you mouth open and twists your tongues together.
He reaches his hands down to your waist and grips you hard enough to leave bruises. You love it, love him taking control. He grinds himself into you and you moan into his mouth. He detaches his lips from yours and kisses down your neck, your hands claw at his back as he bites hard onto your collar bones. The water is pouring down his back and between your fingertips.
Jay kisses further down your neck, to your chest, to your ribs, to your hips. He sinks to his knees in front of you and kisses along your hips, nipping and sucking the skin there. You feel your legs shaking and his hands fly up to your thighs and wrap around them. He turns his head and sucks a mark onto the inside of your thigh before lifting the leg and putting it over his shoulder. Your hands fly to his hair, gripping it for balance as he throws your other leg over his shoulder. You cross them behind his head and his hands go to cup your ass and he moves his head closer to you so you can feel his breathe ghosting over you. He kisses you lightly, teasingly on your clit. Your hands tighten in his hair and pull him closer. Smirking up at you, he leans closer and licks a thick stripe up your center, swirling his tongue around your most sensitive part. You let your head fall back and hit the ends of the shower.
Jay looks up and you questioningly, you're not sure what he's asking but it doesn't matter you nod your head anyways. He grips your ass tightly and flicks his tongue over your clit before standing up. And your head is almost hitting the ceiling and his arms and shoulders are the only thing supporting you as he goes to put his mouth back to you. Your hands reach to grab at his hair as he works his tongue into you. Your moans fill the room and mix with the steam. Your hands pull tighter on his hair and you can hear your own obscene sounds fill the room. Your legs are shaking on his shoulders and you're so, so, close. Jay's hands are still wrapped tightly around your thighs, so tightly, and you know they'll be marks in the morning, but you don't care. He let's go of one of your legs and you have enough sense to hook it with your other so you don't lose your balance. He moves his hand up to spread you out for his mouth and licks further into you. His hands are rough against your skin and his tongue is flicking inside you. You whole body is clenching and shaking and the water from the shower is spraying hot against your skin. And Jay is pressing hot against your skin, his curls waterlogged and plastered onto your thighs and his forehead, his mouth hot against you.
You're so close, on the edge, shaking, desperate for release. And Jay is giving it to you with his mouth, and his fingers that circle your hole teasingly. You want to beg for him to give you what you need, but you can't find the words. You're drowning and you think it must be the water pouring down on you but it's really your own pleasure.
Jay's fingers have been teasing you for what seems like forever and his tongue has been circling you and you feel like you can't breathe. Jay finally pushes his fingers into you, curling them up and pushing into a spot that makes you scream. Your fingers tighten on his curls and your back is sliding against the shower wall. His two digits pump into you, faster and harder and deeper at this angle. His mouth is sucking and licking and flicking. And you're close, so, so close.
You can feel your muscles clench and your body gives out as your orgasm takes over, body arching frantically against the shower wall. Jay pulls his fingers out and grasps your legs, lifting you above his shoulders and placing you back on the ground. Jay pushes himself back up and grips your waist as you let yourself fall into his chest. Your hair is plastered against your skin and you are still shaking. He wraps his arms around you, turning off the water and kissing your head.
He pulls you both out of the shower and wraps you in a towel. Jay doesn't expect anything in return and that's nice, but you'd like to pay him back. Maybe tomorrow though because you can already feel yourself drifting off to sleep as jay lays you down in bed and wraps his arms around you. The last thing you feel are his rough hands rubbing circles into your bare hipbones and his light breathing on the top of your head.
amazing work

Greatest Athletes of All Time « see full list
Jim Thorpe
I don't know who the greatest athlete of all time is, but I think of those we know about, Jim Thorpe was the greatest athlete of them all. He won the gold medal in the 1912 Olympics in both the decathalon and pentathalon. An All-American football player in college, he was one of the greatest football players ever in college as well as the pros. There was no pro football right after college so he couldn't play until he was 27 years old and played until his early 40's. In the acclaimed Thorpe biography by Robert W. Wheeler, a camera man and photographer were on hand to watch Thorpe punt before a football game. They had heard that he could punt further than anyone, so they measured the field, which checked out ok. Out comes Thorpe. He just loved to punt. I'm going from memory, but I think they said he punted 5 times. He stood in the endzone and 2 times the ball landed in the other endzone, in the air! Two times the ball bounced for the first time at about 75-80 yards and once at about 90 yards!
I think Michael Jordan was a very good athlete, especially in basketball, but he never excelled in three sports. He also had the advantage of the training, equipment, and especially the media that existed in his time over what Jim Thorpe had to deal with in his time. Also, Jim never had to do all the training to become great he just was what he was, and unnatural athletic talent. He could could do anything, including winning the college ballroom dance championship and he ran home one hundred miles in one day. How many athletes can do what he did in three sports, not just one! Most people in our time have no clue what this guy could do but his olympic gold medial in the decathlon lasted a decade before people with greater equipment, training and preparation could finally beat his record. He is by far the greatest athlete. Only Wilt Chamberlain could come close to match some of his physical abilities. Wilt could run under fifty seconds on the quarter mile and could take a quarter off of the top of the backboard, but he didn't excel in three sports and win gold medals!
The description starts off "The greatest athlete ever to come from Lawrence KS", this is selling Thorpe way short. Nobody is even close to Thorpe in athletic accomplishment for his time period. His like will never be seen again. All of the athletes on this list are specialists, Thorpe could do it all. He won the Olympic pentathlon and decathlon in 1912 and single handedly took small independent college "Carlisle Indian Industrial School", to beat top ranked Harvard scoring all of his teams points. No, Michael Jordan was a great basketball player and a lousy baseball player. Muhammed Ali was arguably the best boxer of all time (God love him) and a great role model for personal integrity and free will. But Jim Thorpe has no equal when it comes to sports.
Best all around athlete for his superb decathlon accomplishments. He could do it all in the track and field arena! Then there were his talents on the gridiron and baseball diamond.
Jim Thorpe was "head & shoulders" greater than all these "latest, greatest" one-sport celebrities. In a time when Indians (he was half) were 2nd class citizens, training methods & equipment was hap-hazard, nad the only performance-enhancing drug was booze, he dominated 2 sports: track & football and played professionally in a third, baseball. Take your current-day "blinders" off (and read Native American Son: The Life & Sporting Legend of Jim Thorpe, K. Buford). Heck, at 50, Jim could still drop-kick a football 75 yards.
He won the Olympic gold medal in the Pentathlon, and the Decathlon, played in the pros for baseball, basketball, and football. Was awarded the All American honors. Once scored 198 points and 25 touch downs in a season. One story about him was when he out jumped the college high jumper star with all his clothes on. Future President Eisenhower who played against him said of Thorpe ~"That he was the greatest natural athlete to ever play the game. "
He played for the New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds, and The Boston Braves.
He played for the New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds, and The Boston Braves.
Played Football (at multiple positions, both offense AND defense I might add), baseball - also at multiple positions, and basically every track and field event known to man... AND EXCELLED AT THEM ALL! Oh yeah, he also did it at a time when he didn't have the advancements in technology and medical science that help with the conditioning of today's athletes as well as the improvements in today's equipment that make it easier to excel. Anything this guy wanted to try, he was "gold" at. It's just a shame he didn't get the chance to try things like basketball and hockey etc.
Ridiculous.....should be Thorpe, Dave Winfield, then everyone else a distant 3rd through oblivion...do a little objective research on actual ability and preferred accomplishment if so chosen and then ATTEMPT to argue with yourself even. Take yourself out of the current time, and delete "popularity" from the debate and sleep better tonight knowing that your comfortable that this one thing is true and not just told to you by me but discovered by you yourself
Best athlete BY FAR. Michael Jordan lived in the era of physical training and medical genius. Jim Thorpe lived in the era of little knowledge and poor conditions, and excelled at everything. If he isn't the greatest "athlete" ever, I don't know who is. He could do anything if he really wanted to. Tell me ANYONE who is better than Thorpe at ANYTHING. Right now, that man doesn't exist, and won't in today's "one-sport specialty" society.
Whats amazing is the lack of specialty gear that modern day athletes have and which Jim Thorpe did not. Can you imagine what records he could have set if Jim had access to modern day equipment, nutrition and training regiments. You are right that the other athletes are not even in the same ballpark as Jim. He was also an extremely humble person and had to overcome in terms of economic and social inequities. During his era - people considered Native Americans to be lower than dogs (in terms of social class) and our society mistreated them.
THE Greatest athlete of all time. Hands down.
This man excelled in seven sports, won multiple medals in the Olympics, was inducted into the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame, played semi pro baseball. Oh yeah, all while fighting through poverty and racism directed towards him and his family.
Read his bio. MJ eat your heart out, you wouldn't even make number 2, as there is a man named James Cleveland (JC) Jesse Owens.
This man excelled in seven sports, won multiple medals in the Olympics, was inducted into the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame, played semi pro baseball. Oh yeah, all while fighting through poverty and racism directed towards him and his family.
Read his bio. MJ eat your heart out, you wouldn't even make number 2, as there is a man named James Cleveland (JC) Jesse Owens.
Jim Thorpe is by far the BEST athlete ever! Thorpe played Pro baseball, track and field, and football. Jim Thorpe played 3 sports which no one else can say they did. Not just playing some basketball in college and then switch to football like julis peppers. But, Jim Thorpe was great at all, and did not switch sports he played them all at once. Michael Jordan wasn't good at baseball, and Muhammad Ali only played one sport. Thorpe should be with out a doubt number 1!
Hall of Fame football player, great baseball player, great olympian, one of the fastest guys ever to live. Greatest athlete of all time in the world. MJ is great too 996/1000 but Thorpe is 999/1000 = Greatest ever! By Q. Tickler EC, Wisconsin. (how is Babe Ruth not at least #5)
This guy is overlooked because he's not from the modern era of hype and film. If you look at his records of his day among his peers around the world, the fact that he won at amateur levels, professional level and the olympics in so many different sports and throw in ballroom dancing, all with little to no formal training, this guy is the greatest natural the planet has ever seen.
The news media made MJ. Give the same exposure to Thorpe in that era, & Thorpe would pass Jordan. The basis for the above is "Athlete" not a game performer. Since when does basketball show a persons athletic ability? Should we name Dale Earnhardt as an athlete, cause his accomplishments? See what I mean... One sport doesn't compare to several. List the sport accomplishments; list the types of sport events... And on. Next, didn't MJ do it for the money?
Thorpe has no competition. Winning both the pentathalon and decathlon at the same Olympics has never been done before or after. Add to his resume All American college football player and track star. Beef it up further with the rare skill sets which permitted him to compete as a professional in both major league baseball and professional football.
No one else in sports history has achieved at levels such as these.
No one else in sports history has achieved at levels such as these.
No one will ever equal the accomplishments of Jim Thorpe. Yes there are a lot of Super athletes today in various sports. But not in all sports. Just let some of today's super stars try to equal what Jim Thorpe did in track. He won both the Decathlon and the Pentathlon. No one can even come close. Not to mention Football and Baseball.
Jim Thorpe Professinal Baseball, Basketball, Football, Wrestling, 2 time National ball room dancing champion. Only American who never had to try out for the Olympics, First President of the NFL, his coach was Pop Warner, Two Olympic Golds and set the World Record. His Carlisle Indian school team went undefeated and beat Navy with future President Eisenhower on the team. Hands down the best.
This guy dominated in every sport he played. He was the original multi-sport player. Michael Jordan is not even the best BASKETBALL player of all time, much less the greatest athlete of all time. I'd like to remind some people of Jordan's baseball career, and we all know how THAT turned out.
For those who do not study History, please take so time to find out who Jim Thorpe was and then you will know why he is the Greatest Athlete of all time without question!
There's some really good biographies out there about him. Check one out whenever you can. The stuff he achieved is amazing. By far the best ever. Jim Thorpe was just incredible.
MJ was great but he was a one-trick pony. Jim Thorpe won the Pentathlon and Decathlon in the same Olympics. He also played professional football and baseball. No one have ever come close to being such a well rounded athlete, not MJ, not anybody. He was a superstar before there were such things.
Thank you. Many times, people can not get this right. When you say greatest athlete, he/she must excel at multiple sports. NOT JUST ONE SPORT. Now for pro basketball, Michael Jordan can be the greatest, but he did not excel at other sports like Thorpe.
Jim Thorpe used to replace the horses and pull the wagon loaded with groceries from town to his home while growing up in Yale, Oklahoma. The locals still talk about him to this day. Try some of that action on, MJ!
He should be number one for so many reasons. one of the first Multi-sport players, robbed of medals, one of the Greatest Native American pro sports players ever.

The Spanish American War began 115 years ago, following a series of events including the controversial de Lôme letter and the sinking of the USS Maine and increased tensions over Cuba. These culminated in the final disintegration of diplomatic relations when Spain declared war with the United States. Congress reciprocated with this Act of April 25, 1898, Public Law 55-69, which declared that a state of war existed between the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain.
Many had prepared for this eventuality. Then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy (and future Rough Rider, and future President) Theodore Roosevelt had sent coded orders 2 months earlier to the Pacific Squadron to engage the Spanish Fleet.

PC's For Children: Can the idea work in Kenya?
Ever since the new government announced in their manifesto that they will be deploying laptops to standard 1 children in schools across Kenya, the big question on everyone's mind is how will this program work? Can the country afford it? What would it take to make the idea work?
Last Friday I had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion which focused on how ICTs can be used to promote learning in Kenya, challenges expected and lessons learned from those who have already deployed those ICTs in schools in Kenya. The meeting took place at KARIBU CENTRE which is dedicated to providing basic needs, education and empowerment to the most vulnerable women children in and around Thika, Kenya. Also present at the meeting were representatives from the British Council, Intel, VMWARE and Team4Tech.
Team4Tech in collaboration with Intel are using the Intel Classmate PCs and adaptive learning software to teach preschool children literacy, numeracy and science skills on the PCs at the Karibu Centre. The PCs use solar chargers. The children are aged between 3-6 years and they spend an average of about half an hour a day on the computers using them. Some skills taught by the software to the pre scholars include coloring, pronunciation skills, shapes, word games e.tc. The PCs contain programs that monitor each student's performance to keep track of their improvement. At present, the centre has about 140 students.
When deploying ICTs in schools, it is important to consider some key things: the teachers; getting local content used on these machines as well as how to ensure sustainability of the initiative. Towards this end, the Team4 Tech team has a program that trains the teachers in the schools in Thika basic computer skills (how to operate computers, typing skills, use of Microsoft tools like MS Word, PowerPoint e.t.c) as well as how to operate the programs installed in the laptops that the pre scholars are using. So far, 60 teachers have been trained through this program.Volunteers from across the world from corporations like Intel, VMware, from Orphans Overseas and from Kenya take two weeks to train the teachers in these courses. Getting digitized local content based in the approved curriculum still remains a huge challenge. Currently the program uses the Waterford early learning software on their machines.
Assumptions and opportunities that arise from deploying ICTs in schools are:
- There is a huge demand for local content: Developers should consider designing software applications that can extract content from the textbooks and be used on either pc's or mobile devices. Publishers in Kenya should readily avail their content digitally as opposed to just on textbooks.
- Policies need to be adjusted to reflect the structure that should be followed on deploying the ICTs in schools, the do's and don'ts as well as focus on how to protect the children when they access online content.
Team4 tech will be rolling out this program in four schools in Thika town which will receive about 21 computers each. For more information please visit the Face Book pages: https://www.facebook.com/karibucentre and https://www.facebook.com/team4tech.

A very informative article. A great contribution to this very important debate. ICT is the way to go. But we need to have meaningful dialogue and how this should go and how to add value to this unstoppable train. Thanks AnneReply

Your article still doesn't answer the question of whether it can be done.Reply
Calvin Mwenda at 16:24:23PM Monday, May 13, 2013
The first step in my opinion, should be digitizing the textbooks kids use in school. Till this content is available and easily accessible, I feel like the idea of having a digital learning experience will just be a piped dream.Reply
Nice article by the way.

This is a great job that you are doing.

Patrick McGovern watched the honor escort from MacDill Air Force Base make its way past police headquarters Wednesday.
The last time he saw the woman in the casket in the white hearse, she was a little girl in a pink dress sitting in her father's office. Now her body was being brought to Lawson Funeral Home.
"She was a bright little girl," said McGovern, recalling Brittany Bria Gordon, an Army specialist killed in Afghanistan on Oct. 13 by a suicide bomber. Gordon, who joined the Army in 2010, was the first woman from the Tampa area killed in combat in Afghanistan or Iraq.
For more than 20 years, McGovern, a St. Petersburg police officer, worked for Gordon's father, Assistant Police Chief Cedric Gordon.
On Wednesday, McGovern was one of more than 200 people who came out to pay respects to 24-year-old Gordon, who was an accomplished athlete and musician and fluent in French.
McGovern recently visited Cedric Gordon's house to offer condolences and support. "He is a strong man," said McGovern, "but nothing can prepare you for this."
A few feet away, St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster stood in the street, his right hand over his heart. He, too, watched as the long line of police motorcycles, followed by the hearse and then a veterans motorcycle group, rumbled by.
The procession drove under a massive U.S. flag hung over First Avenue North between two firetrucks.
"It is sad," Foster said, choking back a sob. "Very sad."
Before the arrival of the motorcade, Foster recalled how his daughter, Christine, looked up to Gordon when the two played basketball at St. Petersburg High School.
"Christine played junior varsity, and Brittany played varsity," Foster said. "She was a great role model for my daughter."
And for the city and nation, too, he said.
"She was born to serve," said Foster, who counts her family among his friends. "She gave her life to protect others. It was an incredible journey for such a young lady."
Foster said he has joined the ranks of those calling for troops to come home as soon as possible, ahead of the 2014 deadline set by President Barack Obama for the withdrawal of combat troops.
"I am siding with (Rep. C.W.) Bill Young," Foster said.
Young called for an early withdrawal after receiving an email complaining about conditions in Afghanistan from a Largo soldier, Staff Sgt. Matt Sitton, who later was killed by an improvised explosive device.
Foster said two factors contributed to his thinking.
Gordon, he said, was the first person he knew who was killed in combat. "That really brings it home," he said.
Then there was the way she was killed. The New York Times reported an Afghan intelligence officer blew himself up in a suicide attack, killing six. Gordon was among the dead, Young said.
"When your own start to take your lives, it is time to get out of there," Foster said.
Gordon was an intelligence analyst with the 572nd Military Intelligence Company, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division.
Before enlisting, she excelled at swimming, sailing, windsurfing, golf, soccer and basketball and played the piano and alto saxophone, said her mother, Brenda Thompson Gordon. She was a member of her high school marching band and community band and studied French in Morocco and Canada.
Gordon attended the University of Florida and St. Petersburg College before joining the Army. She planned on continuing her education after leaving the military, her family said.
A memorial service for Gordon will be held at 6 p.m. today in the Wireman Chapel at Eckerd College, 4200 54th Ave. S. There will be a wake at 6 p.m. Friday at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church, 1301 37th St. S., St. Petersburg, and a funeral at 11 a.m. Saturday at the church.
Interment will be at Sunset Memory Gardens near Thonotosassa.

The family of a local rapper shot and killed at a Montgomery nightclub is now suing.
WSFA 12 News has obtained a copy of the lawsuit against the City of Montgomery and Nicole Bankhead, the owner of Centennial Hill Bar & Grill, formerly known as the Rose Supper Club.
Glenn Thomas, whose stage name was Doe B, was fatally shot on Dec. 23 at Centennial Hill. Two others were killed and five others were injured in the shooting.
The lawsuit alleges that the city had a duty to monitor Centennial Hill and make sure it complied with conditions to keep its liquor license. It further alleges that the city knew about the previous incidents at Centennial Hill but still granted a liquor license.
"Without approval of its license to serve alcoholic beverages, Centennial Hill Bar & Grill would not have been in operation and open for business during December 2013," according to the Law Office of Dwayne Brown.
Following the shooting, Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange ordered the business to be closed saying it is "an imminent threat to public safety."

text: Prepare to throw away any brand bias; this is for all motorsport fans. Moto GP, touring cars, even Formula One, Honda's 'Thank You Day' has it covered. At the end of each race season, Honda throws an event demonstrating every form of racing in which the company participated that year-on two and four wheels. And what other venue can accommodate so many different types of motorsport than Honda's own Twin Ring Motegi racetrack in Tochigi, Japan? Honda's main purpose here was to give fans a closer look into its legendary racing history, as well as its newest technical innovations in motorsport. Unlike true races, where everyone concentrates on winning, this was much more relaxed and accessible. In the pit garages were vehicles ranging from Honda's factory dirt bikes all the way to its latest F1 machines. And this day caters to the whole family. For the kids, there's a kart track with instruction staff, while a scooter demo track (with trained personnel) keeps the teens interested. There are also various parks with great views throughout the Motegi facility. The Honda Collection Hall (where Asimo the robot lives) was open to the public as well. Many of us have gone to a weekend race, sat in the grandstands and thrown envious glances to the media, who often have direct trackside access. At the Honda Thank You Day event, a select few spectators were given a much closer look at the action. How much closer and how much better? How does on-track spectating sound? Honda handled the eager visitors in two different forms. The first was an on-track bus tour, which took place while the full-bore Super GT cars were doing full-speed laps. A tour guide was able to communicate with the racing drivers and ask them questions at the same time as they were lapping. You'll never see that in the US. The bus ride sounds pretty cool, but it gets even better. The second version of on-track access was with in-car demonstration runs. A handful of fans got the chance to ride in a Honda Super GT car, with the drivers going pedal to the metal. Throughout the day, there were various demonstrations, such as the heritage demonstration. This consisted of three cars and three motorcycles. The cars were the 1996 JGTC Raybrig NSX, the 1968 RA301 F1 car and the 1965 RA272 F1 car. At the time, the RA272 surprised everyone with its early debut, only three years after Honda built its first road car. During its maiden season, the RA272 was driven by Richie Ginther and won the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. The bikes were the 1989 NSR 500, the 1999 NSR 500 and the 1995 RVF/RC45. Both the 1989 NSR and the 1999 NSR brought Honda the 500cc championship and the RVF/RC45 took home the 1995 eight-hour Suzuka enduro race. All these machines made a significant stamp on racing history. The cars and bikes were in pristine condition and sounded just like the killer machines they are. Earlier in the day, the Super GT cars staged an eight-lap mock race, complete with a standing start and race queens on the grid. Taking part were the #8 ARTA NSX, #18 Takata Dome NSX, #32 Epson NSX, #100 Raybrig NSX and the #17 Real NSX. Although the drivers were not driving as aggressively as they would in a real Super GT battle, they were still going at full speed, which made for a great show. Another highlight was when the open-wheel cars came out. This group included the 2007 factory Honda RA107 Formula One car (with Jensen Button behind the wheel), the Super Aguri SA07 F1 car (driven by Takuma Sato) and the Panasonic Racing Honda-powered IRL Indycar (with Kosuke Matsuura driving). Even though there's only a claimed 50bhp difference between the F1 machines and the IRL car, it soon became apparent that the F1 cars are much, much quicker. Within the first lap, the IRL car was left in the dust. At one point, Button buzzed the pit wall with the RA107 at full throttle. I've never seen a car accelerate that fast out of a turn and the high-revving V8's wail still sends shivers down my spine whenever I think about it. For the grand finale, Honda brought everything out: all the Super GT cars, road racing motorcycles, historic cars and open-wheel cars. Everyone did two fast laps around the outer ring of Motegi's super speedway. It was pure pandemonium and fantastically enjoyable. There were racecars and road race bikes buzzing next to each other. At one point Shinya Nakano (on his Moto GP bike) pulled a wheelie next to Button's F1 machine. Both were probably doing at least 100mph. With the release of the mighty Nissan GT-R to the US market, you might be thinking it's about time the Japanese released their best stuff overseas. I hate to break it to you, but they're still keeping the best for themselves. Honda has decided to keep this Thank You Day exclusively for the Japanese market. So if you consider yourself a Honda fanatic, a Mugen-head, or just a race fan in general, you have to include this event on your 'must see before I die' list and make the pilgrimage to Motegi. You won't regret it. « | 1 | 2 | View Full Article By Scott Kanemura Enjoyed this Post? Subscribe to our RSS Feed, or use your favorite social media to recommend us to friends and colleagues!

The Lions scored 10 points in the final three-plus minutes to tie the game, capped off by a Hanson field goal with three seconds left in regulation that forced OT. Matthew Stafford threw for 311 yards with a TD and an interception and also ran in for a score for Detroit, which snapped a three-game skid and improved to 2-and-3. Calvin Johnson had six catches for 135 yards in the victory. The Lions face the Bears in Chicago on Sunday.

Remodeling? It's a waste of money
One of the big myths of homeownership is that upgrades are investments. In reality, renovating is consumption spending. But if you want to remodel anyway, do it right.
Related topics: homes, home financing, home prices, spending, Liz Weston
There could be one upside to the real-estate implosion.
Plunging prices finally could shatter our national delusion that home improvements are somehow an "investment" in our homes.
Think about it:
- With a real investment, you commit your money and hope to make some kind of profit.
- With remodeling, you're all but guaranteed a loss.
Even at the real-estate market's peak, most remodeling projects didn't pay for themselves.
Homeowners typically recouped an average 86.6% of their costs, according to Remodeling magazine's 2005 Cost vs. Value report -- and that's only if homeowners sold within a year of finishing the work.
Liz Weston
Wait any longer, and your return will be less. That's because home-improvement projects start to get dated as soon as you finish them. Today's stainless steel is tomorrow's harvest gold, in other words.
Ah, that stainless-steel debt
These days, the average return is just 67.3% of what you pay. No improvement came close to paying for itself in 2008. Even projects with the best payoffs, such as new siding and minor kitchen remodels, typically resulted in a significant loss.

|Source: Remodeling magazine
The home-improvement-as-investment myth, combined with easy credit, fueled an awful lot of irresponsible spending in the past few years. People thought it was OK to tap their home equity so they could ape the fancy kitchens and bathrooms on HGTV, little realizing they were throwing away their wealth.
This is not to say you should never remodel your home. Appliances and surfaces wear out over time. You might want to improve an inefficient layout. Or perhaps the home's previous owners had awful taste. (One of my relatives, a serial remodeler, says most of what she does is tear out the "improvements" of past owners.)
Also, it might make more sense to remodel than to sell and buy another home. Swapping homes is really burning money, as you lose about 10% of your current house's value to real-estate commissions, selling expenses and moving costs. If your home update would cost less than 10% of your home's value, or if you really love your current neighborhood, the improvement project might be worthwhile.
But you should view home improvements for what they are: consumption spending, not investing.
Remodel for the long haul
Ideally, you should pay cash for consumption. The only time it makes sense to borrow money is when you're buying an asset that stands a chance of gaining value over time.
Of course, the right project, carefully chosen and executed, can add some value to your house. If you plan to live in it for many years, you could consider financing 50% of the cost of any major improvements.
The 50% limit is just a rule of thumb. Because most projects are unlikely to recoup more than two-thirds of their costs and some will return less, it's smart to be conservative by saying only half the cost of your project will increase your home's value and thus can be financed.
But if you're going to finance any part of the cost, make sure your improvement really does add value. That means you should:
- Beware any upgrade that makes your house bigger or fancier than most others in your neighborhood, as such remodels are unlikely to add much value.
- Be cautious about adding pools or spas, as they repel as many buyers as they attract in most markets (because of the hassle or because of the drowning risk with young children).
- Aim to please the crowd rather than indulging your personal tastes. Bold statements like brightly colored appliances won't be a hit with many buyers.
What if you can't finance the project you want, either because your credit or your home equity is shot? Then it's time to start saving cash and considering alternatives.
Among the possibilities:
- Can you refurbish rather than remove? Refinishing or refacing cabinets is usually less expensive than replacing them. Reglazing tubs and sinks can extend their lives and save you thousands compared with a gut remodel.
- Can you rethink how you use space? Adding square footage may seem like a logical way to deal with a space crunch. But maybe you just need to ditch some clutter or re-purpose a room. Never use your formal dining room? Maybe it could be your office or a guest bedroom instead.
- What can you do with a little paint? Paint is inexpensive and relatively easy to apply, and can dramatically transform the look of a room.
When a little remodeling pays off
Finally, if you're trying to sell your home, you clearly shouldn't sink money into a major remodel. But there are some low-cost fixes that real-estate agents typically recommend as likely to return far more than they cost. Such as:
- Lighten and brighten. Wash windows, remove heavy curtains, trim back branches and bushes that cover windows (free to do it yourself, $100 to $300 to hire window washers).
- Declutter. Pack up at least a third of your belongings and store them ($200 to $300 a month for off-site storage).
- Deep-clean. Scour your house from top to bottom ($200 to $300 for professionals, basically free if you do it yourself).
- Spruce up landscaping. Trim bushes and hedges, plant flowers, renew mulch ($300 to $400 for professionals, free if you do it yourself).
- Staging. Rearrange furniture and décor to highlight positives and downplay negatives (costs can range from free, if you pick up a home-staging book at the library, to $500 and up for professional help).

Will Apple put EMC's Isilon unit on the map?
Summary: Apple has reportedly bought 12 petabytes of storage from EMC's Isilon unit, which was acquired late last year for $2.25 billion. Aside from stoking Apple cloud talk, the deal would give Isilon an uber reference customer.
Apple has reportedly bought 12 petabytes of storage from EMC's Isilon unit, which was acquired late last year for $2.25 billion.
While the reports of Apple's purchase have stoked speculation that all this storage will be used toward a streaming video and audio service, it's a big win for Isilon. Isilon specializes in network attached storage for digital media content and unstructured data.
The reports of this Apple purchase of Isilon gear surfaced last week. The Storage.com Newsletter reported on April 6 that Apple has ordered 12 PB of Isilon storage. The report was based on "an inside source" at EMC's Isilon unit.
From there, CRN picked up the story and gave the report more credibility. Why? The Storage.com Newsletter also reported on a new version of the Isilon OneFS file system, which was unveiled at the National Association of Broadcasters show Monday.
Citing CRN, Barclays Capital Ben Reitzes picked up the tale. Reitzes said in a research note:
We believe that Apple will most likely be using this storage capacity for streaming audio and video services that it will launch by the fall. Although EMC has yet to confirm the deal, we would consider the prospect to be an enormous win for its recently acquired Isilon division. EMC acquired Isilon in December 2010 for $2.25 billion specifically for its scale-out NAS capabilities. Isilon's scale-out NAS systems are targeted at companies who produce digital media content and other types of unstructured data. One of ISLN's target verticals are Media and Entertainment, which includes HD-TV, Blu−Ray, 3−D content, streaming media, and high−resolution digital images used in movie production. We believe that Isilon's capabilities dovetail nicely with our vision for Apple's upcoming "Cloud Tunes" – an extension of iTunes into the cloud that allows easy access to digital content from any Apple device. For EMC's upcoming 1Q11 results, we expect Isilon to provide a nice lift to revenues (about $70 million q/q).
Indeed, if Apple bought Isilon gear that's one helluva reference customer. No one is confirming the Apple-Isilon connection at EMC just yet.

If you want to imagine a friendly rivalry between two major dairy states, Idaho and New York might be contenders.
The two states regularly vie for third place in U.S. milk production, behind California and Wisconsin. In April, New York out-produced Idaho, churning out 1.135 billion pounds of milk from 5,150 dairies and 615,000 cows. That compares to Idaho's 1.129 billion pounds from 526 dairy operations and nearly 542,000 dairy cows.
Idaho, however, may be back on top by year's end, says Rick Naerebout of the Idaho Dairymen's Association and Independent Milk Producers Cooperative, Inc. "We're expecting 3% to 4% growth in Idaho milk production in 2014," he says. "We'll be back to No. 3."
Both Idaho and New York are home to Chobani Greek yogurt plants, although it's New York that's the nation's No. 1 yogurt state, according to a May 27 proclamation by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Still, Idaho has the larger of the two Chobani plants. Its Twin Falls yogurt plant, built in 2012, spans 1 million square feet – twice as large as the New York site -- making it the world's largest dairy facility.
Idaho leads New York in cheese production, occupying third place after Wisconsin and California. In fact, Idaho remains chiefly a cheese processor, while New York has seen a dramatic increase in its processing capacity and dairy product lines over the last few years.
"New York's dairy industry doesn't specialize in any one product," says Cornell University dairy economist Andrew Novakovic. "While it's not No. 1 in any of the major categories, it's a top producer of many products. Only California rivals it for both size and diversity."
New York's consumer-intensive dairy products include yogurt, fluid milk, butter, cottage cheese, sour cream, Italian-style cheeses, evaporated milk products such as coffee and energy drinks, and other dry ingredients. New York counts 112 licensed processing plants.
"More plants are coming online all the time," says dairy producer Jon Patterson of Auburn, N.Y. "Anything we can do to increase demand for milk is a good thing."
Patterson himself is a co-owner, along with 25 other local dairy producers, of the new Cayuga Milk Ingredients plant, which just came online last week near Auburn. The plant will produce high-end powders for the global market.

Hanoi street food: Bo bittet
It's been a favourite of mine since I first came to Hanoi, so goodness knows why it's taken me so long to write about bo bittet. It's true that I don't eat it too often — it's hardly the healthiest of options — but having had a recent relapse at the weekend I was reminded just how good it is.
The essential components are: a thin beef steak, chunky chips (fries), eggs, pate, something green (usually chives or spring onions) and a chunk of bread. Sometimes it comes with a gravy too. The steak is sizzled in an iron dish — usually cow shaped — and topped with pate, chips and greens, and then an egg is cracked into the dish to cook away at your table. Some places will serve it up with a lid on top, which helps avoid hot fat spraying over your clean shorts, while others will leave it to fate; so make sure you sit back a bit.
Once the egg — or eggs if you're lucky — is cooked to your satisfaction, tear up the bread and dip in or make up an egg / chip / pate and steak sandwich. The choice is yours. Good accompaniments are fresh chilli and soy sauce, which goes particularly well with the eggs.
Don't get led astray by the versions available at many of the more generalist Vietnamese restaurants around town, particularly along "Food Street": if the restaurant isn't proudly announcing "bo bittet" then it's unlikely to be a good one. I've had some which are just steak and chips, and these are always a disappointment.
A couple of places worth trying in Old Quarter are Bittet Ong Loi at 51 Hang Buom, and the place at the bottom of Dinh Liet (on the right as you're facing in the direction of the lake). If you're out in Ba Dinh near the Daewoo Hotel, then Ngoc Hieu, on the corner of Doi Can and Van Cao streets, is a great spot though a bit pricier than the other options.

Giving birth on camera? The Kardashians have gone too far!
The most overexposed family on Earth have gone a step further by televising the birth of Penelope Scotland – the baby daughter of Kourtney Kardashian. But is this a step too far asks Periwinkle Jones…
Just when you think you've seen all of the Kardashians you can physically see, they break down even more barriers by popping another one out into the ether: live on camera.
Little Penelope Scotland was welcomed to the world by her entire extended family – father, grandmother, aunts, uncle and reality TV crew as the event was filmed for the latest series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
But what else could you expect from a family so overexposed that the only way you could see any more of them would be if they showed you an X-ray? At least they've cut out the middle man by having her delivered straight into a pile of production crew.
Now, I know that childbirth is a wonderful, natural act that the human body is perfectly designed for, but so is defecating, and I don't want to see that either (that scrabbling sound is the KUWTK producers frantically jotting down the idea).
Giving birth on screen with an entire entourage is not only ridiculous – it's potentially dangerous. What if there had been complications?
Giving birth on screen with an entire entourage is not only ridiculous – it's potentially dangerous. What if there had been complications? Would there have been enough room in the delivery room for the emergency doctors amongst all that hair, lashes and egos?
By televising the birth of their latest addition the Kardashians are going to find it tough to maintain any degree of privacy in the future. Once you've seen someone's placenta it's hard to argue that they shouldn't be papped in a bikini.
Privacy and decency issues aside, does anyone else find it a little weird that Kourtney wanted her whole family there? Her brother Rob is a 25-five-year-old man. Did he really need to be down the business end to watch his sister pull the baby out of herself with her bare hands?
Once you've seen someone's placenta it's hard to argue that they shouldn't be papped in a bikini
The only saving grace was that her sister Kim Kardashian's beau Kanye West wasn't there to witness the event. Though he could have made himself useful by performing a few tracks during the interval.
The Kardashians seem to hold nothing sacred – we've witnessed births, marriage, divorce, colonic irrigation, infertility issues and Kim's slow decline into crazy cat-lady with the purchase of her new kitten 'Mercy' and the freezing of her eggs. The surprising thing isn't that they've done this, it's how unsurprising it is that this family have sunk so low.

Massachusetts Team Under Fire for Printing Initials 'WTF' on Shirts
Foxnews: A Massachusetts track and field team is under fire for printing sweatshirts with its initials -- which also form a popular but vulgar Internet colloquialism -- on the back of the clothing.
The Wakefield Track and Field Team in Wakefield, Mass, handed out the sweatshirts to team members last year after the season that had "WTF" printed on the back of the shirts, MyFoxBoston.com reports.
The superintendent of schools, Joan Landers, said that's not how she wants the student population to be represented.
For complete story, go to: Foxnews

I'm sure there are a lot of people that don't even know what it means especially with Wakefield Track & Field underneath. Although, I bet the kids were laughing! My daughter, age 10, wore a baseball cap her grandfather gave her for a few months before I realized it had WTF on the side. I know gramps didn't know what it was - it was just a hunting cap he'd been given. I had to explain what it meant to my husband, too!
Man, everything these days seems to be offensive to someone. People need to get over it and grow tougher skin! This country is becoming one big ole whiny wuss.

Weather unpredictable? Really! If that be true (which it is), why do some people become enthralled with dire predictions of rising temperatures because humans (supposedly) are heating up the planet?
Ask yourself, how close to actual are the daily predictions made by forecasters? Sometimes accurate, sometimes not even close. Go a couple days in advance, and the correct ratio falls steeply.
Last year, a meteorologist complained that people were paying to much attention to the predictions made by a groundhog's activities. He explained that the groundhog had only a 37% correct ratio, so those predictions were quite faulty. But when asked, the man literally boasted that the human weather predictions 'rose' to the 38% correct category. Yet 1% less is faulty?
So, if using similar weather models to predict daily weather can only be around 40% correct, how does one put much faith in the predictions made for 30, 40, or 100 years from now? Not the wisest choice.
All the scientists with impressive credentials that study weather can make all the predictions they wish, but one big belch ( or lack of one ) from the Sun changes everything. Historical change of climate, temperatures, and life forms has a direct correlation to activities of the Sun -- and the scientists blame humans -- it's the only factor they can actual chase (and possibly control).

ASIA/PHILIPPINES - Measles and other diseases infect children in centers for displaced people in Zamboanga
Zamboanga (Agenzia Fides) - As fighting continues between government forces and a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), local health authorities have reported cases of transmission of infectious diseases in children living in centers for displaced people in Zamboanga. In addition to some cases of measles, identified at the Joaquin F. Enriquez Jr. Memorial Sports Complex, doctors have reported infections of the upper respiratory tract, diarrhea and skin diseases. These diseases are due to poor hygiene and a precarious environmental sanitation. Currently, the complex is home to 11,979 families, about 71.265 people. According to estimates by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, at least 20,643 families, about 111.162 people are in 57 evacuation centers. Health authorities are trying to prevent infections by improving hygienic conditions. In addition, the local Ministry of Health, along with other volunteer doctors have opened clinics to monitor the health of displaced persons, administer vaccines to children and in the meantime, the National Association of Dermatologists will send a medical team to assess the skin diseases that are infecting the displaced.
