Not everybody can respond to all the donation requests from prep sports teams. But not everybody can put together a pro wrestling fundraiser instead.
That's exactly what Mathew Plant, who promotes the New Frontier Wrestling Alliance through his company Power Plant Productions, has done for the Kenai Central wrestling team.
Plant said he wasn't able to donate to the Kardinals, but still wanted to do something to support wrestling.
Last year, it took the Kenai River Brown Bears eight games to beat their northern rivals, the Fairbanks Ice Dogs.
Saturday night at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, the Brown Bears got over that hurdle in their second game of the season, topping Fairbanks 5-3. Coincidentally, Kenai River's first win over Fairbanks on Dec. 7 of last season was a 5-3 contest.
The win also knotted up the Ravn Alaska Cup — the annual season series between the two squads — at a game apiece.
As the Kenai River Brown Bears enter their eighth season today with a 7:30 p.m. tilt with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, the coaching staff has used the process of elimination to come up with the major goal for the campaign.
"We need to advance past the first-round hurdle we haven't been able to overcome," said head coach Geoff Beauparlant, who enters his second season at the helm. "As a staff, we've set that as a bare minimum."
Beauparlant pointed out that there are not many other firsts for the franchise to achieve.
The Brown and Gold Game is an annual chance for fans to get a sneak peek at the current season's edition of the Kenai River Brown Bears.
Friday, that peek was more up close and personal than ever at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.
The evening started with a chance to meet the players, and instead of three periods, there were two periods with 25 minutes of running clock. The "third period" was fans skating around the rink with players.
Being happy with the way your swim program is progressing is one thing. Thinking that program can knock Kodiak from its Region III perch is quite another.
On the girls side, the Bears have won seven straight region titles and will be led this season by seniors Tahna Lindquist and Ila Hughes.
Lindquist was the outstanding girls swimming performer at last year's state meet, has won six individual state titles and holds the 200-yard individual medley state record. Hughes also has six individual state titles and the state 100 freestyle record to her credit.
The Kenai River Brown Bears will have extra time both before and after tonight's Brown and Gold Game for fans to meet the players.
The extra time will be needed because there are so many fresh faces on this season's roster. Of the 23 players the Bears protected Sunday, just five are returners from last season.
After last season, head coach Geoff Beauparlant was expecting to have 10 to 12 returners this season, but a number of factors decreased that number.
New turf field, same Soldotna football team.
The Stars christened their new playing surface with a glistening day of sunshine and a 62-0 nonconference victory over Thunder Mountain on Saturday. The rout runs SoHi's winning streak to 23 and season record to 3-0.
With the united Soldotna-Skyview community out in force to celebrate the rededication of Justin Maile Field, the Falcons actually were able to hold the fort for the first quarter, playing the Stars to a scoreless draw.
A major fundraising push by the Peninsula Oilers board of directors and concerned community members to save the 2015 season and the organization itself has gotten off to a slow start.
On Aug. 13, the Oilers fundraising committee had a meeting open to the public where many of those in attendance agreed to branch out into the community and try to raise funds to combat the serious short- and long-term financial issues the Oilers face.
Michael Tice, the president of the board, said the Oilers need to raise about $170,000 to get through next season.
Two area powerlifters continued to show the sky is the limit in the sport, while another area powerlifter got his career back on track Saturday at the 2014 Alaska State Fair Meet in Palmer.
Kenai Central junior Cipriana Castellano, Kenai Central sophomore Robin Johnson and Soldotna senior Zach Hallford last competed in the USA Powerlifting Raw National Championships in Aurora, Colorado, in late July.
While all valued the experience of competing at altitude with hundreds of other lifters, all also enjoyed getting back to a small meet contested in front of familiar faces.
The healing of the shoulder can wait until winter. Homer's Chris Morin has golf tournaments to win.
Morin followed up his victory in the Donald R. Morgan club championship on Aug. 16 and 17 with a win in the Kenai Open on Saturday and Sunday at Kenai Golf Course.
Morin had a two-day total of 14-over-par 158 to defeat Chris Murray by two strokes. Greg Harrington and Gordon Griffin tied for third at 166.
"My shoulder has been hurting my swing," Morin said. "I'm going to have to work on my swing.

Aussie to Lose Yield Advantage With Kiwi as U.S. Recovers
The Australian and New Zealand dollars are poised to reverse this year's advance as a recovery in the U.S. reduces the South Pacific nations' interest-rate advantage.
The Aussie and kiwi, two of the three best-performing major currencies versus the U.S. dollar this year and over the past month, have formed what are known as bearish double-top patterns that may signal declines are due. A key momentum indicator shows New Zealand's currency has exhausted its climb, with its Australian counterpart close to following suit.
The Antipodean currencies already started retracing gains before a U.S. Labor Department report tomorrow that economists say will show employers added the most jobs to payrolls in four months. That comes after Citigroup Inc.'s Economic Surprise index for the country rose from a 19-month low in March, with reports showing fewer Americans sought jobless benefits and a rebound in manufacturing. The gains have boosted confidence the Federal Reserve will next year lift its key rate from a record.
"We're close on both Aussie and kiwi to suggesting tops may be forming," Tim Riddell, the Singapore-based head of Asian research at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., said in a phone interview yesterday. "Given we've got key U.S. data this week with the nonfarm payrolls, the scenario is ripe for a bounce back in the economic surprise index, and that should impact positively on the U.S. dollar."
Best Performer
New Zealand's currency has posted the biggest gain among its 16 most-traded peers tracked by Bloomberg this year, climbing 3.9 percent versus the greenback as the nation became the first developed economy to raise interest rates this year. The kiwi climbed to a 2 1/2-year high of 87.02 U.S. cents on April 1, before falling back to 85.36 at 12:18 p.m. in New York.
The Aussie was the best performer in the past month and has gained 3.4 percent this year. It traded at 92.17 U.S. cents today, after touching a four-month high of 93.04 on April 1 amid signs policy makers are proving successful in efforts to rebalance the economy away from mining. That has led the central bank to signal it won't enact further interest-rate cuts.
An indicator of a currency's underlying trend, known as the moving average convergence-divergence measure, shows the New Zealand dollar's rally is overdone. The so-called MACD line for the kiwi versus the U.S. dollar fell below the indicator's signal line in a bearish signal. The Aussie is heading for a similar bearish crossover, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Recommended Levels
ANZ recommends selling the Australian dollar with a target of 90 U.S. cents, while the New Zealand dollar may weaken to about 83.77 U.S. cents, a level that's the 50 percent retracement of its advance from a Feb. 4 low to the high reached on April 1, Riddell said.
A technical indicator known as daily slow stochastics, which is used to predict a security's moves based on its proximity to highs or lows, implies an end to the kiwi and Aussie's gains. The measure slid into overbought territory at 78 for the kiwi versus the greenback on March 31, and 89 for the Aussie on March 27. The Antipodean currencies also breached the upper line of their Bollinger bands with their U.S. peer at least twice last week, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The U.S. dollar may be supported as the Fed continues to trim monthly bond purchases, and after Chair Janet Yellen said last month the nation's zero to 0.25 percent interest rate could rise in "around six months" after the central bank stops buying debt. The greenback has been held back after bad weather at the end of last year and the start of 2014 weighed on a recovery of the world's largest economy.
Greenback 'Failure'
"The U.S. dollar has really had a bit of a failure to launch," Emma Lawson, a Sydney-based senior currency strategist at National Australia Bank Ltd, said yesterday. "You need to see a consistency in the data post the weather effect and that will help the market believe that the U.S. economy is on track and the dollar can benefit from that."
Citigroup's Economic Surprise Index for the U.S., which shows whether data beat or fell short of economists' forecasts, fell to minus 35.8 on March 17, the lowest since August 2012. Data that day showed industrial production grew at three times the forecast pace in February, while the Institute for Supply Management's index on April 1 showed that an expansion in manufacturing accelerated last month.
The smallest number of Americans since September applied for unemployment insurance in the week ended March 22, according to a revised report today. Labor Department data tomorrow will show employers added 200,000 positions last month, the biggest increase since November, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News poll.
'Buying Dip'
The Australian dollar could fall to 90 U.S. cents, and New Zealand's currency may drop as low as 84.53 U.S. cents, according to Chris Weston, the chief market strategist at IG Ltd. in Melbourne. Following that retracement, he expects the currencies to resume their advance.
"Given what we're seeing from trending, buying the dip is clearly the strategy that needs to be employed," he said by phone yesterday. "If we get a really good nonfarm payrolls this Friday, that could be the start of something more significant for the dollar, but you've got to be selective in which currency you want to be long the dollar against."
New Zealand's central bank Governor Graeme Wheeler lifted the nation's key rate by a quarter-point to 2.75 percent March 13, while Australia's borrowing benchmark has been held at a record-low 2.5 percent since August.
Yield Advantage
Speculation that the U.S. will lift borrowing costs as the economy recovers has reduced the yield advantage of their benchmark government securities. The extra yield Australia's 10-year note offers over the equivalent U.S. Treasury narrowed to 1.41 percentage points, from last year's high of 1.71, while the spread on New Zealand's bond declined to 1.86 percentage points, from as much as 2.22, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The Aussie may drop toward 91.30 U.S. cents and the kiwi may weaken to 84.50 over the next few weeks as the currencies have already priced in much of the good economic news, NAB's Lawson said.
Falling prices for New Zealand's dairy exports and signs of a slowdown in China, Australia's largest trading partner, are also threatening to end gains in the Aussie and kiwi. Retail sales expanded at the slowest pace in seven months in February, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said today in Sydney.
Pacific Investment Management Co., which runs the world's biggest bond fund, said this week it favors positioning for declines in the Aussie as a way to hedge against a negative shock from China.
"Australia will be vulnerable to external shocks, and therefore the outlook for China will remain critical," Adam Bowe and Robert Mead, Sydney-based money managers at Pimco, wrote in a commentary on the firm's website. "While we still expect Chinese growth to slow gradually over the cyclical horizon, uncertainty has risen recently and risks to the outlook are tilted to the downside."

Skip to comments.U.S. Naval ship assigned to Sochi runs aground while refueling and is out of commission
Posted on 02/18/2014 11:20:52 PM PST by cunning_fish
One of the Naval warships assigned to the Black Sea for U.S. protection during the Sochi Winter Olympics ran aground last Wednesday in a Turkish port as it was attempting to refuel.
The port was 240 miles from Sochi.
(Excerpt) Read more at sports.yahoo.com ...
Wow! Our U.S. Navy under Zer0 has turned into a modern day Keystone Cop.
Someone's about to go from "Commanding Officer" to "Walmart Greeter" at warp speed .
Beat me to it. Strike one Naval career.
But don't Turks have harbor pilots there - people who are well acquainted with all those details of their specific port and can navigate the ship safely? Given that Turks are present in the area since forever, and that they had Black Sea fleet for centuries, I'm sure they have harbor pilots and maintain detailed maps of the sea floor nearby.
Perhaps the US Navy does not require, or does not approve using local pilots? I just can't imagine that the Captain simply took a beeline to the port and never gave it a thought that the depth that is good for a fishing boat may be not quite enough for his heavy ship.
time to update those undersea maps
If the person responsible is one of Obama's "social experiment" promotions, we will NEVER hear their name. (Alternative: we'll hear their name and the accident will be chalked up to the person's reaction to the continued "institutional bias" against them.)
If the person is a long-serving hero, we'll definitely know their name.
Our entire military is falling apart!
USN ship commanders are the elite of the elite. There is no excuse for any ship master to ground his vessel. If you don't have confidence in your charts you don't traverse the area.
Foreign ports are always tricky to navigate. Many times the local harbor pilots just plain suck.
Sure, I hope they are to fix it soon.
This is a stain that never fades.
There is no going back!
Aground like sand bar or rock?
Mixed blessing...rock is easier to pull off of but damages
Sand fairly harmless but Lewinskis the bow
Don't they have depth sounders and alarms?
From an article the hull is ok, only a propeller was damaged.
Look at the satellite view outside the seawall of Samsun, Turkey, and you will see the shapes of at least a dozen submerged ships. Looks like the approach bottom is a mass of shifting sludge and sunken tankers.
Regardless, the skipper is probably done.
Back when our Navy had far more ships than admirals, an Ensign Chester Nimitz, Captain of the USS Decatur (DD-5) ran aground in soft mud off Olongapo, Philippines in 1908.
A passing boat pulled the Decatur off the next day. Rather than keep his mouth shut, Nimitz reported the incident, which did no damage. He was court martialed.
THAT is character.
Amazing that an ensign could be captain!
Back in the days of one room school houses, graduating high school was sufficient to be hired as a teacher.
How many pregnant "sailors" were aboard?
Yeah, but the average B.A. couldn't pass half the tests they had graduating from that one-room schoolhouse. Most would be lucky to pass an 8th grade math final from back in the day.
It appears that Zero didn't want to offend the Russians. He sends ships so that he's in a position to claim we were 'prepared to evacuate Americans' in event of a terrorist attack. But did he send an Amphibious Ready Group with its LHA/LHD helicopter carrier? Nope! He sends a command ship and a neutered "Perry-class" frigate that has no long-range air defense capability. I'm sure the Russians are laughing their butts off. And Obama had better hope nothing happens because the Americans will have to wait for other ships to steam up the Bosporus.
Chester Nimitz survived grounding his vessel. I guess we were lucky he wasn't automatically cashiered.
Rapid expansion of the Navy after the Spanish-American War and during the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt, and at a time when the only source of officers was the Naval Academy. Nimitz' class of 1905 was graduated six months early as "passed midshipmen."
The effects and aftermath of war: My uncle, USNA class of 1941, graduated early in February; the U.S. already was anticipating entry into WWII. He served in both the Atlantic & Pacific aboard the battleship Idaho. My father returned from the Pacific after two years of combat an Army major...at age 24.
He convincingly defended himself and IIRC, proved the charts were wrong, and said that he was following the precepts of his training when he operated the ship the way he did that close to shore.
Pretty rare stuff, indeed for any Navy captain of a ship to get off so lightly even if they could convince anyone of anything.
Years later, when he was often put in the position of making a judgement on the future of someone who had made a mistake, he was known for reasoned leniency if it was called for, and one of his favorite sayings was "Every dog deserves a second bite."
My favorite grounding story, though, is that of the USS Missouri in 1950, because it has everything negative associated with it that is possible except loss of life. A new captain on his first time taking her to sea, stupidty, arrogance, ignorance, bad judgement, politics, money, engineering, embarrassment, a large ship and a monumental grounding.
Heh, on his first time out of Norfolk, VA, the captain decided to take her up to 15 knots in an area he shouldn't have anyway, went to the wrong side of a marker, had multiple people try to tell him he was going to the wrong side of a channel marker and sailed his 57,000 ton ship at 15 knots (at an unusually extreme high tide, for extra bad luck) onto a very, very gently sloping shoal of gooey, slippery solid mud.
There were people looking at each other (who knew the area well) wondering what he was doing, voiced their opinions and when a quartermaster spoke out, received an icy rebuke, the die was cast.
The ship sailed nearly half a mile onto the gooey, slippery mud, and the grounding was so gradual that the first indication they had on the bridge there was a problem was not the decrease of speed, but the overheating of machinery because the intake valves were sucking up mud!
She sat in full view of a major highway for two weeks, and they finally got her off after completely unloading EVERYTHING on the ship that could be moved, waiting for as high a tide as they could. They had 14 tugboats, and divers in the water with water hoses on the bottom using the jets to free mud from the ship's hull while tugs on each side worked in concert to rock the vessel, and tugs pulled astern.
Just amazing.
On purpose?
Heh, you all thought of him before I did! Darn, pays to read the whole thread first before I post!
Depends on what race, the presence or absence of breasts, and who they sleep with.
Any one of the three above negates personal responsibility.
Like many here on FR, I served in the Navy and aboard ship (Heavy Cruisers). It is common practice for most naval vessels, be they military or not, to be under the control of a Harbor Pilot (someone who is familiar with the harbor and mooring sites, etc.) who guides the ship to it's eventual anchorage or pier, etc. This particular ship (no size or class mentioned) may have been a smaller vessel which did NOT require the guidance of the Harbor Pilot. We don't have all the facts other than what some journalist wrote. I'll wait and see before blaming the ships captain.
The officer in charge of this salvage operation was Rear Admiral Homer Wallins. As a Captain in 1941, Wallins was in command of the operation to salvage the sunken battleships in Pearl Harbor.
Best post of the day! Thanks.
Whoa!!! Somebody's gona get fired!!!
My bass boat has enough electronics to keep me from grounding it....this is shear incompetence....it's one a the most important things the Captain is responsible for and this guy blew it. A grounded vessel is useless. Sylvester the cat can take it out with a rowboat and a can opener!!
And they were better teachers than a lot of our present day educators!!
I'm sure the fact that he was just an Ensign played a big role !!!
Twenty years later, you'd still hear the joke "Join the Navy and see Thimble Shoals".
Really...Sh!t happens...move on to the next port!
So the elderly gentleman walks into work at Walmart and the 20 something supervisor lambastes him for being late. The dressing down goes on for some time . Then the young boss asks the man What did the people at your last job say when you came in late? He calmly replied " Would you like a cup of coffee Admiral"?
"I have nothing to do with water and operation of ships, but I can easily envision that US Captains may not be intimately familiar with every detail of the sea floor at every rarely visited foreign port. Maps only tell you so much, and instruments at speed can only confirm that yes, you have hit the bottom. - GreysardGiven the many failures of Sochi accomodations (doors that could not close, or would not open, inadequate preparation etc.) it's difficult to dismiss the possibility of Russian psy-ops to break the athletes spirits and make opponents look like fools. Perhaps there was some inadequacy in the details provided to this ship which will be dismissed as a translation error.
I don;t know what they call such an incident in the Navy, but in the AF we would refer to is as a "career ender".
One Naval commander is getting a new nickname—"Old Leadbottom"—that and any chance of promotion is Gone.
Not every port has a harbor pilot, even then CO is still ultimately responsible and can take back the con. Charts are provided by US sources even for foreign ports and a ship gets a new load out based on their planned ops - I understand they may have digital charts now, but still maintain a paper backup. He didn't hit a wreck he hit bottom which means it is not a change likely to have been different from the chart. With GPS and Visual observation there is no excuse for running aground. My guess is they were preoccupied by the refuel op and didn't plan well on their route to avoid the area - luckily the oiler didn't hit as well.
I correct myself - he only had prop damage which very well could have been due to wreckage shift or new events - we'll await the results of the investigation.
Hehehe...YOU have never been on a Naval Board of Inquiry!
Thanks! I read a great book on the grounding, it looked like it was printed in the sixties sometime!
I read a book a while back on the salvage operations at Pearl...it was fascinating.
Sounded like the job of diving on the USS Arizona really sucked. Lots and lots of bodies.
Ah! I was having a complete mental block this morning and couldn't remember the name of the shoal...that's it!
Has a ring to it, doesn't it?
hehehe I have processed and represented the command in over 100 admin seps, overseen 200 captains masts, conducted multiple jagman investigations (including one private boat admiralty docked at the base), and written charges for courts-martial (including a nasty murder case).
Was legal o on my first ship and did 6 months with CFAY Legal in Yoko between ships. Best part was working with the Japanese police regarding the SOFA prison.
In other words, I know the process ;)
oh- and I'm not a lawyer ... just a black shoe SWO doing collateral duty.

Re: Can a credit score get really high with...
If they were paid collections and there was information found that was incorrect and then disputed, there would be a good chance that the CA would not take the time to verify the information. Especially on debt over six years old.
Example I had two small collections that were paid five years ago. Well the DoFD did not match on any of my reports. So i disputed. Both were removed. Was I lucky? Maybe.

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (April 4, 2014) Police in South Portland, Maine were investigating Friday after a malfunctioning ATM at a bank spit out $37,000 in cash to man who looking to withdraw $140.
Officers were sent to the TD Bank branch at around 5:30 a.m. Thursday in response to a woman's report that a man was spending an unusual time at an ATM she was waiting to use.
When they arrived, the officers found the man stuffing cash into a shopping bag.
The money was returned to the bank, and bank officials said they didn't want to press charges, but police continue to investigate.
The identity of the man wasn't released because he hasn't been charged.
A bank official described the problem as a "code error" and said no customer accounts were affected.

I have been looking for a plugin/hack that allows to copy and paste images from my clipboard (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) to WordPress WYSIWYG editor, but so far I have found nothing.
Drupal has a plug-in for this - JIRA also has a plugin for this (Java client side) - is WordPress planning to do something among those lines, is there any beta of this?
Thank you kindly,

I have a wordpress.com blog.
I know nothing about anything (...set up a few sites using Weebly drag-n-drop functions in 2010. That's it.) and I want to create my own horizontal theme.
Something kind of like this or this in terms of richness, quality and layout.
I'd like to create my own, because I can't find online what I see in my head. I do not have the scratch to pay for a designer b/c this is a hobby site. Also, I am tired of being the last human alive who is afraid of web language and building things using code.
I'm open to the idea that this could take a really long time. I just truly have no idea where to start learning or what platforms/tools I need for building...anything. If someone could point me in the direction of Step A I would appreciate it a lot.

Re: FICO dropped 30 pts! Not sure why...
crunching_numbers wrote:
OK- Scorewatch tells me I have an update. FICO dropped 30 pts. UGH! Now what?
Although CreditKArma reflected the mortgage inquiry, Scorewatch did not show a new inquiry. Not sure what could cause THAT BIG of a FICO drop. My CC balances jump around a bit, but not enough to cause 30 points. Is it possible that it is a scorewatch glitch that could correct itself?
733 was good for the rates and terms I need on this refi, but 703 is probably not. Now I am scared. I thought the appraisal was going to be the only possible problem, but now this!
What will happen? Will they use the original FICO, or am I screwed?
Some lenders even on refinance will pull another credit report and some will not (from my experience refinance is closed fairly quickly so another credit report is usually not needed). You may be best to look at your credit report and find the reason for 30 point decrease?
I personally would not worry too much about the rate as in my opinion I do not see it changing by much if at all.
May all your dreams and wishes become a reality!

I've been finding a lot of users turning away CSV 2 POST before using it because they think it does not allow the display of images in auto-blogged posts. This post is just to help clear things up a little.
"Does CSV 2 POST import images?"
- Yes. The free edition can display images in your posts using URL data.
- The paid edition can actually import image files to the media gallery.
- Work is ongoing to allow the plugin to do more with images, the free edition will be improved as always. The ability to use multiple images in one field (meaning each URL is separated by a comma) is one improvement to come.
Flash, Google Maps and Other HTML
CSV 2 POST makes use of the WordPress WYSIWYG editor for the creation of a template. We can design the layout and look of our posts with a template that is used to create all posts but each row/record of your data is applied to that template so that each post is different.
All done automatically and in high numbers in short time if you want.
Using the WYSIWYG editor allows us to use the HTML window. In the HTML window we can paste (CTRL + V) any snippets.
- YouTube videos
- Google Maps
- Shortcodes
- iFrames
- HTML Image code
- HTML Link code
Some of the above mentioned snippets of code may require a little studying for beginners. You must replace the attribute values with what we call Column Replacement Tokens or "tokens" for short. Our tokens are what allows each post to be different because the tokens are replaced with your own data i.e. if you wanted to use Google Maps you would need to have all the required Google Maps data such as co-ordinates. Then you would need to replace the snippets existing co-ordinates and other data with your tokens. During post creation each map for each post will be different. If you do not add tokens to the snippet, every post would have the same map.
That is how all snippets work. Users must replace the attribute values such as URL's and alt text. As for the 'alt' attribute, we can add more then one token plus text. So we can essentially create a sentence of text made up of data in our CSV file and some text between each part of data so that it makes sense.
- +PRODUCTNAME+ from only +PRICETOKEN+
- +name+ is +age+ years old
- Was +oldprices+, now +newprices+
You will notice how the tokens vary, a lot. That is because tokens include your CSV file headers. There is not a generic set of tokens (not yet but it may change for an alternative approach) i.e. +price+, +url+, +description+ and so on. CSV 2 POST is better than that because you can work with the header names you know.

Hi there,
Considering your name you probably speak Dutch but ill be writing this in English anyway.
I have succesfully installed your plugin and tweaked around with it for a bit. To my annoyance tough i just can seem to get my sidebare on the right side. Looking into the php script (with my limited skill in this erea) I have found out that the login part is indeed loaded before the sidebar.
I have tried putting the sidebar code infront of it but to no succes.
echo $cyc_options['beforesidebarcode'];
if (function_exists('thesis_get_sidebars')) {
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php');
In my theme the loading go's like this:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<div class="dc" style= etc...
Is there an easy way for me to edit the plugin so it loads the login/logout etc stuff after the sidebar?
Your help would be very much appreciated.

text: Gun Legislation Obama warns GOP against blocking gun bill By Jaired Crofut • Apr 9, 2013 Official White House Photo by Lawrence Jackson President Barack Obama is warning Republican lawmakers against using delay tactics to sink gun control legislation. Obama spoke last night about his gun proposals in Connecticut, where 20 children and 6 adults were killed in a horrific school shooting last year. The shooting spurred fresh debate in Washington over gun control measures. The president is singling out GOP lawmakers who want to use procedural maneuvers to block legislation. Obama says the move would be akin to saying the public's opinion doesn't matter. Connecticut Lawmakers Split on Gun Legislation By Lucas Willard • Mar 5, 2013 Flickr/Smarter's Photos HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A bipartisan legislative working group is offering two lists of recommendations for addressing gun violence: one from the majority Democrats and another from the Republican members. While some of the Democrats' gun control proposals unveiled Tuesday go further than the Republicans' ideas, such as expanding the definition of an assault weapon under Connecticut's current assault weapons ban, there were some overlaps. Democrats also called for a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Vermont Lawmakers Propose Tightening Gun Laws By Pat Bradley • Feb 3, 2013 Jonathan James / Flickr Listen Listening... / 0:42 A group of Vermont lawmakers is pushing legislation that would ban large capacity ammunition-feeding devices on guns and would require background checks for people buying weapons at gun shows.Representatives Linda Waite-Simpson, Adam Greshin and Mike Mrowicki are among those backing a bill that also would bring state law in line with federal law in prohibiting convicted felons from possessing firearms.

Castro Allows Cubans to Sell Property as State Control Eases
Cuba's communist government lifted a half-century ban on residents buying and selling property as President Raul Castro eases state control over the economy.
For the first time since the country's 1959 revolution, Cubans will be able to own their main residence and one in the country, state-run Granma newspaper reported today on its website. The changes were already approved by the National Assembly and take effect Nov. 10.
Easing of restriction on property ownership may spur real estate development that is needed to overcome a housing shortage that affects nearly 1 million people, said Jose Manuel Palli, the director of Miami-based U.S.-Cuba Legal Forum.
"This is an important first step," Manuel said in a phone interview. "Cuba has needed to do this for years."
Many Cuban families live in crowded, crumbling buildings and have to trade on the black market to move to a new home, Manuel said. Even marriage is no way to overcome the ban on property sales, as young couples wait for years to move into their own house and even divorced couples live estranged under the same roof, he added.
The law will not allow Cuban exiles, who had homes confiscated after Fidel Castro took power in 1959, to buy properties as they are not considered residents.

Since Fidel handed power to his brother in 2006, Cuba's government has begun to open up the economy in a bid to attract investment to the island nation of 11.2 million. Castro last year announced plans to fire 500,000 government-employed workers, about 10 percent of the workforce, as the slowing global economy hurts tourism and reduces the price of nickel, the country's biggest export.
Cuba's economy grew 1.9 percent in the first half of the year and is expected to grow 2.9 percent in 2011, Granma reported Nov. 1, citing comments by Trade and Foreign Investment Minister Rodrigo Malmierca.
On Aug. 2, Castro said that officials would further relax rules on self-employment and make it easier for Cubans to own cars and homes.
The change in property rules announced today will also enable Cubans or foreigners with permanent-residence status to swap and donate properties, the Havana-based newspaper reported.

The future, what do you mean? How can we be in the future?
For decades many of us have been in awe of the possibility of the future. Not that long ago the thought of carrying a single panel computer capable of presenting music, film, books, and games was nothing more than science fiction.
I live by the belief that if man can envisage it, people can create it.
Of course, there is the possibility of going too far, as is famously shown in Planet Of The Apes, circa 1968.
For now we can sit back and relax with a small and hopefully harmless portion of technology that seemingly has the effect of enhancing our lives.

I consider myself fairly tech-savvy. I own the latest Android Smartphone, a literal cornucopia of iPods, several digital cameras, photo printers, and I pride myself on my Pentagon-level WIFI security settings. I was designing HTML and Perl code around the same age I learned the value of deodorant. In other words, I'm fairly certain I could ace the Certified Techno Nerd test, if there was one. That might be why so many of my friends were shocked when I told them that my wife bought me a brand new Sony turntable for my thirtieth birthday (if you are not sure what a turntable even is, Google it now before reading on). Aside from the initial shock that my birthday gift was actually analog for the first time this century, I was first comforted to see that the machine had a USB port – a bridge to the digital age we now live in, and possibly the only recognizable part of the machine for those twenty-five or younger

Waiting for Normal (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Addie is waiting for normal. But Addie's mother has an all-or-nothing approach to life: a food fiesta or an empty pantry, her way or no way. All-or-nothing never adds up to normal, and it can't bring Addie all to home, where she wants to be with her half sisters. But Addie never stops hoping that one day, maybe, she'll find normal.
About the Author
Leslie Connor is the author of several award-winning books for children, including Waiting for Normal, winner of the ALA Schneider Family Book Award, Crunch, Miss Bridie Chose a Shovel, and Dead on Town Line, a young adult novel in verse. She lives with her family in Connecticut.
Praise For…
"A heroine with spunk and spirit offers an inspiring lesson in perseverance and hope. First-rate."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A story centered around loss, heartbreak, abandonment, and new beginnings."
-School Library Journal (starred review)
*"This book persuades that good people and delighful possibilities are all around, even in the most unpromising circumstances."
"[Leslie] Connor treats the subject of child neglect with honesty and grace in this poignant story. Characters as persuasively optimistic as Addie are rare, and readers will gravitate to her."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Connor convincingly portray's Addie's beyond-her-years resourcefulness and the opposing feelings that drive her to protect the life she has while longing to be a permanent part of the 'normal' home her sisters occupy with her stepfather."
-The Horn Book

Jan 7, 2011No. I Expected something better listening to Beautiful Monster.I didn't enjoyed this album. By the way i recognize that Ne-Yo is a real artist. I hope for something better the next time
Jan 7, 2016this album isn't too good, i am disappointed from this album, it has 3 good songs in 10 tracks, "One in a Million", a beautiful R&B track, "Cause I Said So", a europop track that has the MJ vibe, and "Beautiful Monster", a lovely dance track. The others aren't good, and some tracks like "Telekinesis" and "Makin' a Movie" are very bad. This album isn't bad, but it's also distant to be a good album
Dec 17, 2010I really dont understand how this album can get above a 5. I wasnt impressed with the album, Ne-yo has definitely done much better. I may listen to one or two tracks on the album but definitely not from start to finish. Next album needs to be considerably better than this.
Awards & Rankings
Jan 13, 2011Libra Scale lacks the sparkle found in Ne-Yo's previous work. Much like "Champagne Life," there is still plenty to celebrate. Toast it up.
Dec 8, 2010The level of sophistication--arrangements with subtle details, the frequency of slow tempos, a couple well-trodden motifs--lends itself to a couple tepid tunes, but Ne-Yo remains a premier source of R&B that is both traditional and contemporary.
Dec 8, 2010If a little dominated by this trio [Champagne Life, One in a Million, Beautiful Monster] the rest of the album also develops the cool soul player theme nicely, with offers of mind sex and a considered approach in slick fusion.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Bob Week continues with a look at a Bob who created one of the longest-lasting characters and franchises in comics history. And it ain't the fellow from Sunday.
Oh, and the archive is here.
145. Bob Montana
I was speaking, of course, of Bob Montana, the creator of Archie Andrews and all his pals. Bob's is not a name you hear flinging about the comics industry– in fact, I'd be surprised if many comic readers know who created Archie.
Raised on the vaudeville circuit, young Bob was surrounded by all sorts of wacky humor, which only served to hone his comedy skills for later use in the comics business. And lo, in 1941, in the back pages of MLJ's Pep Comics #22, he debuted Archie and the gang, based on people he knew from the town of Haverhill, Massachusetts (the story was written by Vic Bloom, however). Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and even Pop Tate and his Chocklit Shoppe were apparently all patterned after real people.
Archie soon proved more popular than the lead feature of Pep, the Shield, and quickly took over Pep Comics, as well as launching his own series. Bob ceased being the primary artist and turned it over to a staff of several. World War II rolled around and Bob joined up. Upon his return, he started the Archie newspaper strip and drew it until his death in 1975.
("Refund your nickel?" So that what the kids were calling it in those days.)
Originally, Archie was a funny looking kid with gigantic buck teeth. No idea what the ladies saw in him. As you can see, Betty and her fellow females were drawn as foxy as possible. Mr. Montana's cartooning became smoother and more stylized over time, giving way to the more standard Archie style we're used to today (though Dan DeCarlo solidified it).
Now, we hardcore comic nerds might not appreciate Archie as much as we should, but by God, Archie's still out there, still selling, still helping kids learn to read with its family-friendly light-hearted storytelling. There's debate over who's the most create-y creator in the Archie mythos, with the credit shifting in various directions, but I think it's safe to say Bob Montana is a Reason to Love Comics thanks to his contributions to the medium we so dearly adore.
What do the Archie experts out there think? I know there must be a few of you.
Aside from the potentially scarring attitudes that the kids have towards dating and gender roles in general, Archie comics work really well for getting kids into reading comics. Their digest formats are great for an affordable read, although they do tend to reprint everything within months of each other, so you sometimes get the same story several times in one year… or, uh, so I hear, if I were to buy said digests.
Montana is a good pick.
That cover with the "refund your nickel" remark is so scandalous I can't believe it made it past the censors. That chick is reclining on a couch with her breasts in the air, and she invites him over for, as you put it, a "refund" of his "nickel." Holy cow! No wonder Archie is so popular!
I never knew what Archie saw in Veronica. I've always been a Betty man and that cover just reinforced my opinion.
Now, back to the subject at hand. Bob Montana definitely deserves the credit for creating a great set of characters. I remember reading Archie comics when I was little. They were among my very first comics. Bravo, Bob Montana!
Good call!
This is exactly the kind of unsung hero that columns of this type should raise awareness on.
The 40s, 50s, 60s Archie are my favorites, and Bob Montana was a big part of this.
stealthwise all of our digets reprint stories are at least 5 years old. From time to time we do reprint only the best stories and only those that are at least 5 years old. We feel that in 5 years, a lot of our readers have gone on to read other material. If you can find a story that is less than 5 years old, please bring it to my attention. We never "reprint everything within months of each other", so you will never "get the same story several times in one year". If you or anyone else has any examples please let me know.

as a kid, i never did understand the old 40's, 50's, 60's Archie. I thought the drawings were very dark and to complicated. I loved colour and the newer stories were the ones that pleased me the best. But as I come to understand Bob Montana's humour, I find them to be the most hilarious and ingenious comics I have ever read. He is so witty yet so sneaky that you are required to pause and go, "hold on a sec, that was truly funny".and that betty cover just made me break out in a fit of laughter.

Strictly for fans of black on black sex.
After a lively rap theme by director D. Sparky, it's nuthin but sex, in the bedroom, in the bathroom, wherever.
Scenes are efficiently shot but none really catches fire. The best are with best looking ladies, especially the blondish Maria, who gets well fucked by John E. Depth.
All but one of the women are light-skinned with dyed blond or red hair, and as lookers they are sub-par. Lexxi, the darkest-skinned one, is a fine big mama. Mandingo likes her, too. All the guys have dicks almost as big as his.

America's Energy Opportunity
How to Harness the New Sources of U.S. Power
A pumpjack drills for oil in the Monterey Shale, in California, 2013. The vast Monterey shale formation is estimated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration to hold 15 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil, or four times that of the Bakken formation centered on North Dakota. (Lucy Nicholson / Courtesy Reuters)
An energy revolution is unfolding in the United States -- but unlike most past or promised revolutions, this one is not confined to a single fuel or technology. After falling for more than two straight decades after 1985, U.S. crude oil production has now risen for four consecutive years, and in 2012, it posted its largest one-year increase since the dawn of the oil industry more than 150 years ago. Meanwhile, in 2011, natural gas surpassed coal as the United States' biggest source of domestically produced energy, thanks to surging output and plunging prices. And all this growth in U.S. fossil fuel production has not prevented the rise of zero-carbon energy sources: the amount of electricity generated from cutting-edge renewables -- wind, solar, and geothermal -- has doubled since 2008, and prices have plummeted. Moreover, as technological innovations have made U.S. motor vehicles more fuel efficient, the country's oil consumption has fallen by nearly ten percent since 2005, reversing what previously seemed to be an interminable upward trend.
The U.S. energy landscape has not undergone such drastic changes since the 1960s and 1970s, which witnessed the emergence of nuclear power, peak U.S. oil production, two oil crises in the Middle East, and

On the final day of class, a group of impossibly pretty philosophy students at an international school in Jakarta engage in thought games with their handsome teacher (James D'Arcy), mostly revolving around who would get to take shelter in a bunker during variations on an atomic holocaust, and therefore eventually reboot the human race. ("Rebooting" is what we're calling it now.)
There are no real stakes other than bruised egos and potentially lowered GPAs — we're never expected to forget that it's all hypothetical, that there's no war, and they're all safe in the classroom — but the fantasy sequences shot in spectacular Indonesian locations such as Mount Bromo and the Prambanan Temple Compounds add terrific production value, and Huddles's envisioning of seemingly endless atomic wars proves lovely, taking advantage of the fact that it needn't be strictly realistic.
Sadly, the picture fumbles the ending, sliding into a Gravity–esque soapy backstory while suggesting that supporting actress Bonnie Wright might have been a stronger female lead.
But until then, After the Dark is an entertaining Philosophy 101 puzzle — and if it needs to be renamed yet again, I humbly suggest Always Shoot the Poet First.

- The Dog Bites Back: Rose enters Abra's mind when she's asleep, fully intending to discover everything about her to track her down. She opens a filing cabinet in the girl's head...which promptly sets off an alarm and slams shut. Rose narrowly avoids losing her hand (and possibly her life), an injury that manifests in the real world for everyone to see.
Abra: (you came back Dan said you would and you did)...(GOOD)
- First Abra appears to Rose as a little girl on a bicycle. But when Rose trips Abra's alarms, she turns to see Daenerys fucking Targaryen on a white charger with a lance in her hand. Rose only barely manages to avoid getting skewered, and while she's freaking out, Abra does a little snooping of her own in Rose's mind and finds out who she is and what the True Knot has been doing.
- Danny finishing off the True Knot members before fighting Rose by releasing Concetta's cancerous steam.

LeFlore County authorities are investigating a homicide after they found a woman's body inside a vehicle early Monday.
The body of Kaloni Flynn, 20, was found inside a vehicle on McGinnis Lane between Spiro and Pocola at about 3:36 a.m., LeFlore County Sheriff Bruce Curnutt said Monday morning. It is not clear how long her body had been in the vehicle before it was recovered, he said.
Curnutt said it is still early in the investigation, and he would not release a cause of death. Flynn's body has been sent to the Medical Examiner's Office in Tulsa for an autopsy, he said.
There are a "couple of suspects on the radar," he said.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is assisting with the investigation, he said.
