BEREA That "zone" that athletes often speak of?
Well, Friday night against Midpark, Berea's Alex Brown was in it.
The junior guard sliced and diced his way to the hoop and was almost unstoppable in the second half during the Braves' 65-59 Southwestern Conference boys basketball win at host Midpark in the two teams' final regular season hoops meeting before the merger.
"It's a great win for all of us and a lot of guys contributed," said Berea head coach Darren Collins. "It's just a great atmosphere so for us to win the last one (is a good feeling.)"
Brown scored 19 of his game-high 27 points in the second half. One of his biggest buckets game on a three-point play late in the fourth quarter. With the Braves clinging to a 56-53 lead, Brown drove to the basket, got fouled and converted the free throw to put the visitors ahead by six with 2:22 remaining.
"A little bit ago I put it on his shoulders, I said this is your basketball team," said Collins. "Take charge and that's what he did. There was a point in the game where there was a look in his eye where he was going to take the game over and create some things. He's not the best free throw shooter but he made them down the stretch. He's what makes our team go. We go as far as he can take us."
The basket gave the Braves some breathing room, but they weren't out of the woods just yet. A basket by Midpark's Nolan Gerrity cut the Berea lead to just one with just over a minute to play.
However, it would be the Meteors' last points.
Some strong Berea defense and free throws sealed the game down the stretch. Jake Holecko scored his only two points of the game on a pair of free throws to put Berea up, 62-59, with 54 ticks left.
"He's the fourth grade free throw champ," said Collins. "That's what he keeps telling us. He can shoot it. He made a three against North Olmsted last week. He has a green light anywhere on the floor."
Later, two hits at the charity stripe by Alex Horner proved to be the final count.
Horner scored nine of his 13 points in the second quarter and Devon Posey tallied nine of his 14 in the fourth.
The Braves started out slow as the host Meteors built an early 6-0 lead and stifled the visitors with their defensive set.
"I knew they were going to try to slow down the pace and make it their type of game," said Collins. "But we just kept attacking."
Midpark certainly had the size advantage in the paint with the 6-9 Gerrity and 6-8 David Dunnigan but it was the athleticism and leaping ability of several of the Braves which made the difference.
Berea was quick to push the ball in transition after defensive rebounds and created numerous second chance opportunities on the offensive end.
"I know they're big but we jump quick," said Collins. "Some of our guys are a little bit stronger. Holecko is a big football player and he gets ball and Brown, he's sneaky. He's got long arms and he jumps pretty well."
Midpark was led by Christian Calton's and Gerrity's 17 points. Ten of Gerrity's points came in the fourth quarter.
Berea improves to 8-6 overall and 6-2 in the SWC and Midpark drops to 9-6 (2-4).

Re: "Social Security is just welfare for the elderly," Your Opinions, Aug. 29.
What other options would you offer retired seniors who because of greedy employers were provided no other retirement options?
There are limited jobs available to mature adults who have pursued the same occupation their entire lives -- law of supply and demand.
Declining health prevents us from working in fast food or agriculture. So, to those who deem Social Security welfare, what solution do you offer or would you prefer the elderly turn to panhandling and petty crime to maintain themselves? We are your parents.

Adding perhaps the final nail to the coffin of Tatum Bell's character, former Detroit Lion Victor DeGrate strongly contracted the recently released running back's account of Rudi Johnson's stolen luggage.
September 9, Detroit Free Press: But DeGrate said he never asked Bell to pick up anything. He said he didn't leave behind any backpack, does not know the woman to whom Bell took the bags and has told all of this to the Lions.
"The way I just figure, he got caught up in a jam and that was the best thing going at the time, was to say what he said," DeGrate said.
... Told Bell claimed he took the bags to DeGrate's friend, DeGrate laughed, paused, then said: "If it was my friend that he took them to, then I'm pretty sure I would have had something to do with it more than what I did, which is none."

Taking a page out of their Democratic counterpart's playbook, the Massachusetts Republican Party has filed an ethics complaint against U.S. Rep. Edward Markey's Senate campaign, alleging he violated House rules on four instances in relation to two of his television ads airing across the Bay State.
The official complaint was filed Tuesday by Nate Little, the executive director of the Massachusetts GOP. In Little's letter to the House Committee on Ethics, the party claims video clips used in Markey's two TV ads were from committee hearings and other public facilities, further alleging that Markey's campaign illegally coordinated with his Congressional office to his campaign's benefit.
"It is our hope that the Committee quickly gets to the bottom of Ed Markey's apparent reliance on taxpayer funded resources to benefit his campaign," Little said in a statement. "Markey has been in office for so long he either forgot the rules or thinks they don't apply to him. He should be held accountable for neglecting the rules set up to protect taxpayer dollars."
The Massachusetts Republican Party cites four examples of alleged ethics violations:
On March 12, 2013, Mr. Markey and the Markey Committee released a television advertisement entitled "Keep Standing Up," improperly using prohibited video from the House floor and committee hearings (Ex. A, and B).
On March 12, 2013, Mr. Markey and the Markey Committee released a television advertisement using prohibited video from what appears to be a law enforcement office, a public building. This ad also features what appear to be public safety officers (Ex. C).
On March 21, 2013, Mr. Markey and the Markey Committee release a television advertisement entitled "Pay," improperly using prohibited video from the House floor and committee hearings (Ex. D).
The full text of Little's letter to the ethics committee citing four alleged examples of wrongdoing can be seen here.
In a telephone conversation with The Republican Tuesday morning, Markey campaign spokeswoman Giselle Barry adamantly denied breaking any rules and said that the complaint is an election season ploy to distract from the "real issues" defining the special election.
"These claims are frivolous and totally unfounded," Barry said in a statement. "The Massachusetts GOP is manufacturing false claims to divert attention away from the fact that its three candidates are out of step with Massachusetts voters by refusing to take the People's Pledge and opposing President Obama's health care law."
She also said that none of the images in the ads are prohibited and any images of committee hearings were already in the public domain.
In relation to the claim that Markey's ads contained prohibited images, his campaign says no images are actually from official committee hearings while they attribute others to Getty, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post and CNN, to name a few. And in relation to the claim that the campaign illegally used a public building, the Markey campaign says it rented space in the Revere Police Station to film and that officers appearing in the ad were off-duty volunteers.
In the 2012 U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts, the state Democratic Party filed a similar complaint against then Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown. In that ethics charge, the Democrats alleged that his campaign illegally used video of a half-court basketball shot for campaign purposes, even thought he video was created by a Senate office staffer.
The Massachusetts Democratic Party also filed an ethics complaint against Brown alleging he violated Senate rules by not disclosing his legal clients amid campaign bickering with Democrat Elizabeth Warren over previous legal work.
Markey is facing Democratic competition in the Senate race from U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch. On the Republican side, former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan is holding the lead position although polling indicates former Navy Seal Gabriel Gomez and state rep. Daniel Winslow have an opportunity to close the gap before the primary on April 30.

I have been a buyer at somewhat above these levels. I just wish I had more faith in management. I really feel like they are running this company for their benefit and not investors.
Debaser,I think there's something in what you say about mgt. For example why have dividends been so low w/r/t the industry for so long?What mitigates the problem for me is that the Fine clan have large chunks of stock.* (Don't take this on faith--in case I've made a mistake or something please check the footnote below.) So, no, they may not help me sell well in a particular year. But they also don't buy in shares at high prices, they don't waste money on speculative nonsense (that I know of!) ... in short they're in the boat. To me that seems good.-------------------*I make it about 500,000 shares for the three of them according to p 8 of the most recent proxy http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/720858/000120677410000860/investorstitle_def14a.htmand dropping 95,000 duplicate shares owned jointly by W Morris Fine and James A Fine. So almost 22% of the stock.
astral:I agree with your analysis.With regard to the low dividend payout, my guess is that it has to do with taxes.The Fines have pretty good compensation so dividends increase their taxes. This isn't so bad currently because of the Bush 15% tax rate on dividends. However, if that rate expires, the Fines could be looking at a nearly 40% tax rate on the dividends they receive from ITIC.In addition, because they control ITIC, they can do what ever they think best for their money within ITIC, so why subject their share of corporate earnings to another level of taxation by paying it out in dividends. This is the situation faced by all people who own enough shares of a corporation. They seek to maximize their wealth with respect to themselves and the corporation they control as a group.

James Martinez enters his second year at the helm of the Fleetwood football team. After three wins last season, his Tigers would like to break the school record for wins this year.
No Fleetwood team has ever won more than three games in one season. The Tigers, think they have the talent to do that this year.
Last year's win total was more than the previous three seasons combined.
Fleetwood could reach that mark within Berks II, a division that is not as potent as it was last year.

This week's theme here at Recipes from Our Files Central is inspired by the weather proverb about the month of March: It comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. It's the last week of March: We're doing lamb recipes.
This one is from 2004, when Nancy Brehm shared her recipe for cotelettes d'agneau à la Niçoise. Brehm had a French cooking school at one time in Tucson, Arizona, and this was a favorite dinner-party dish. Our reporter found it a "refreshingly uncomplicated and well-balanced meal" of broiled or sautéed lamb chops, with a light, fresh tarragon sauce, surrounded by mounds of buttered fresh green beans, small potatoes and tiny cherry tomatoes sautéed in olive oil. Serve with French bread.
Lamb Chops Niçoise
Makes 4 servings
About 12 small potatoes
About 1 pound trimmed green beans
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, divided
8 small rib lamb chops or loin lamb chops
About 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, chopped and mashed
3 tablespoons good-quality dry white wine, such as chardonnay
3 tablespoons chicken or veal stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (preferred) or rosemary
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
8 or more tiny cherry tomatoes
2 to 3 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
French bread, as accompaniment
Preheat broiler if broiling lamb. Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, boil green beans until tender, about 5 minutes, then butter to taste. Once potatoes are cooked, drain, peel, and brown in a little butter.
Saute (or pan-broil) lamb chops in 2 tablespoons olive oil until done to your liking. Arrange them in the center of a large serving platter. To juices in pan in which lamb was cooked, add garlic, wine and stock. Cook and stir over high heat about 1 minute. Blend in tomato paste and tarragon, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a few seconds more, stirring briskly; pour sauce over chops.
Saute cherry tomatoes in about 1 tablespoon olive oil until partly softened and lightly browned, about 2 minutes over high heat; remove from heat. Arrange beans, potatoes and tomatoes in neat, alternating piles around chops. Sprinkle potatoes and vegetables with parsley, and serve immediately. Pass French bread at the table.

Baton Rouge — University Lab football coaches and players have plenty on their minds this week.
The Class 2A No. 3 Cubs return to the semifinals for the first time in more than two decades and face the four-hour road trip to Shreveport for the second straight week, this time to meet perennial power No. 2 Evangel Christian.
U-High has also had to balance its preparation for that matchup with its thoughts for junior receiver D'Vante Dotson's recovery from a head injury late Friday night following an incident that drew a whirlwind of unsubstantiated rumors on social media websites.
Senior defensive end Tim Williams addressed his teammates after practice Wednesday and said this week's challenge is staying concentrated on football once their cleats hit the practice and game fields.
"I said just keep on doing what we've been doing to get to this point," Williams said. "We don't need to do anything extra or anything flashy. We just need to go out there and compete and forget about all the outside stuff."
Coach Chad Mahaffey directed questions regarding Dotson to higher-ranking school officials and requested post-practice discussion focus on football, a subject on which his players had plenty to say.
"It's great," junior offensive tackle Garrett Brumfield said. "Knowing that I can be a part of the team that it's the first time it's happened in 25 years, it's a wonderful feeling."
The Cubs, one after another, brushed off concerns about the long road trip.
U-High fell just short of upsetting Calvary Baptist on the road last postseason, 23-20, and has successfully made the trip to Shreveport twice this season for a 55-0 rout of Class 3A Loyola Prep in Week 4 and last week's 19-7 quarterfinal win at Calvary.
"We're 1-0 up there this (postseason), and we're just trying to finish 2-0," senior safety Jarrod Franklin said. "We're used to it now. We've been three times now in the last two years, so we're accustomed to it, and we're just ready to play."
And then there's Evangel and the world of problems it poses.
The Eagles suffered their only loss this season at Class 5A quarterfinalist Ouachita and enter this week on a 17-game home winning streak that dates back to Sept. 24, 2010.
"They're certainly one of the most-recognized programs obviously in the state and really in the country," Mahaffey said. "They're a very elite program. We've talked to our guys that it's a good opportunity that no one, since they've moved down to 2A, has beaten either them or Curtis in the playoffs other than each other, so we think that's a great opportunity, but a team like that, a program like that, they're gonna fight hard and give you everything they've got, but hopefully we'll meet that challenge."
Evangel is 35-3 in playoff games since losing the 2003 Class 5A state championship to Hahnville, 41-35, with all three losses coming to John Curtis.
Still, the Cubs hope to keep their perspective of the Eagles realistic.
Franklin called playing Evangel "an honor," but Williams quickly clarified that the respect U-High has for its opponent does not equate to fear.
"I know they're good, but I wanna know what they say when they hear, 'U-High,'" Williams said. "I'm not afraid of them. They're not beating college teams or anything like that. They're just beating regular high school teams. I just wanna go up there and just compete."
Evangel quarterback Dakota Duron has completed 241 of 343 passes (70 percent) for 3,663 yards, 39 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Jared Cornelius has led the receiving corps with 1,442 yards and 18 touchdowns on 73 receptions, while Trent Taylor has caught the most passes with 85 for 1,328 yards and 15 scores.
The Eagles bear similarities to Calvary Baptist, now under former Evangel coach John Bachman, although the rivals don't provide the Cubs identical matchups, Mahaffey said.
"They're both pretty wide-open-type offenses," Mahaffey said. "They've both got good players, good coaches. This year in particular, especially after the running back from Calvary got hurt, Evangel runs the ball a lot more than probably they have in their heyday, but the quarterback still throws it around a good bit too. They're probably a little bit more balanced than Calvary was this week, so that's a challenge."
U-High players constantly pointed to the Eagles' size not the offensive and defensive lines as Evangel's biggest strength.
Williams said the Cubs' defensive front will have to "swallow the pocket" and contain Duron.
Franklin also mentioned Duron's and standout running back Javin Webb's ability to hide behind those larger teammates and confuse defenses before bursting into space.
But the Cubs are looking forward to every challenge that awaits them in Shreveport.
"(The Eagles) are pretty high up there as far as being a big program and state championships, but in the end, at the same time, they put their pants on just like we do," sophomore running back Nicholas Brossette said. "They're just a regular team. We have a lot of respect for what they've done, but we've got a very good group of guys too, and we're trying to prove ourselves."

The Nets were a lottery team in 2010-11, but because of the Deron Williams trade, they don't have a high pick in this year's NBA Draft.
So general manager Billy King will be working with the 27th pick in the first round. And that means he will have to try and find talented players who might not be household names.
NJ.com user dano suggests Preston Knowles of Louisville:
Preston Knowles, A great defender and a dynamic 3 point shooter would be a nice fit for the Nets.And NJ.com user Spencer says the Nets need more than the draft to improve the roster:
Do you have any late-round suggestions for Billy King? Post them in the comments section of the Star-Ledger story.
It would be great if Billy could find a hidden gem, but the Nets are still going to have to make a good trade for a chance at the playoffs next year.

A Software Development Leader earns an average salary of $97,663 per year. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 20 years' experience in this field.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Software development leaders are management-level workers that shepherd programs, applications, and updates through the programming and/or updating process. These leaders work with other teams - such as design and quality assurance - to ensure that the program or application works as intended and is completed in a timely manner. The software development leader typically creates schedules for their team and assigns team members work based on design and development templates that are conceptualized by their department in conjunction with other relevant personnel.Read More...
These professionals also establish timeframe estimates and deadlines for work completion, continually monitor their team's progress toward those goals, and create working alpha and beta builds for applications, which are then typically put through a quality assurance phase. The software development leader evaluates quality assurance reports and then works with the development team to address all issues found in that process. Many companies allow the software development leader to have input, if not control, over hiring decisions, and the development leader must be capable of estimating a development budget based on time and labor involved. Leaders are held accountable for these budgets and must constantly monitor them.
Companies typically prefer to hire software development leaders from existing employees who already possess a great deal of practical experience in programming with design or development teams. In some cases, with larger, high-profile companies, an applicant for this job may be asked to show a portfolio of applications and programs already shipped. Software companies also typically prefer individuals for this job who possess at least a bachelor's degree in computer science or another relevant discipline.

Taylor Lautner
Returns $29.50 for every $1 paid.
Lautner rounds out the Twilight stars on our list. He lands lower than his co-stars because of the 2011 film Abduction, which was supposed to be Lautner's big breakout role. It ended up flopping at the box office and dinged Lautner's return on investment number.
From Forbes:
Ranking second on our list is Kristen Stewart. For every dollar she gets paid Stewart returns an average $40.60. Stewart is in the unusual situation of ranking high on this list and topping our Highest-Earning Actress list. Usually, if an actor is earning more than anyone else in Hollywood, it's hard for him or her to be considered a bankable investment. That high salary means the films have to do spectacularly to offer profitable returns to the studios.
Stewart was able to earn a ton over the last three years and offer a healthy return thanks to the Twilight franchise. Even though she was paid $25 million to star in the last two films, she was clearly worth the money. The Twilight films have grossed $3.3 billion at the global box office and the final film, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is still in theaters.
Her two co-stars, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, also make our list. Pattinson ranks 4th with a $31.70 return for every dollar he is paid. Lautner ranks 6th with a $29.50 return.
All three of the actors were paid the same for the final Twilight movies. The differences in their return numbers comes from their other projects. This year Stewart had Snow White and the Huntsman which turned a nice profit, grossing $400 million on an estimated budget of $170 million.
Pattinson's other movies this year, Bel Ami and Cosmopolis, weren't released in enough theaters to count for this list. The only other film we looking at for Pattinson was Water for Elephants which grossed $118 million at the global box office on a $38 million budget.

Joshua Ryan Fulks, 23, of Holland Township was indicted by a grand jury on April 10 on a charge of hindering apprehension or prosecution, fourth degree.
Fulks was arrested on Feb. 20 following a joint investigation conducted by detectives from the Hunterdon County Fugitive Task Force and the Holland Township Police Department.
Fulks was a fugitive from York County, Pa. where he was wanted for violating the terms of his parole. He had been living in New Jersey, according to the Prosecutor's Office. He allegedly used numerous aliases to conceal his identity when he was confronted by detectives from the Task Force.
During the investigation Jessica Baumann, 20, also of Holland Township, allegedly gave misleading information to detectives as they were attempting to identify Fulks. She was charged with hindering prosecution and has entered a plea agreement with the Prosecutor's Office.
Fulks was remanded to the Hunterdon County Jail but is no longer at the jail.
Baumann was released on her own recognizance and is awaiting sentencing.
A Hunterdon County grand jury has decided that sufficient evidence exists for the prosecution to proceed with a case. The defense has not yet responded to the charges. The indictment is merely a formal charge. The defendant is considered innocent until proven guilty in court.

U.S. Industrial Sector Cuts GHG Emissions 3% in 2009
The U.S. industrial market was the only sector in the U.S. that reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions between 1990 and 2008, according to the American Materials Manufacturing Alliance (AMMA), a group of energy-intensive industries. GHG emissions all rose in the commercial, electricity, residential, transportation and agricultural sectors over the same time period.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. industrial GHG emissions fell more than three percent in 2009, primarily due to lower coal and petroleum consumption. The sector's energy consumption dropped 9.9 percent.
The average decline in energy intensity from 2000 to 2008 was 2.0 percent.
Between 1990 and 2008, the U.S. industrial sector's GHG emissions fell 5.9 percent, which AMMA attributes primarily to energy efficiency improvements. In comparison, commercial GHG emissions rose by 36.9 percent, electricity increased by 30 percent, residential grew by 27.3 percent, transportation increased 21.6 percent and agriculture increased 11.3 percent, according to the EIA report.
The steel industry has reduced its GHG emissions by 33 percent since 1990 despite higher production prior to the recession, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute. The industry launched its "green" campaign last year as part of the industry's goal to reduce CO2 emissions.
The American Forest and Paper Association also reports that the forest products industry has cut GHG emissions per ton of product by 14 percent since 2000.
Energy-related CO2 emissions in the U.S. fell by 7 percent or 405 million metric tons — the largest drop over the past 60 years ago. EIA attributes the huge drop partly to the economic downturn.

Who says money talks? Greenbacks have apparently gone mute in their service to Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) . Widely reported efforts to pay developers to create software for the forthcoming Windows 7.5 mobile operating system -- or "Mango," as it's called -- don't appear to be having the desired effect.
The New York Times reports that software creators are waiting to see how well new Windows phone handsets sell before taking coding time away from iOS and Android. The CEO of app developer Bump Technologies told The Times that his company gets more users in a day from iOS and Android than "Windows devices are sold in a week."
Ouch, but also probably fair.
The two leading U.S. smartphone operating systems have generated headlines and profits for Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) , Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , and developers alike even as they've put pressure on Nokia and Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM ) , among others.
Nokia, in particular, has had a rough year. Last quarter's big growth driver was feature phones, dumb handsets that can't realistically compete with smart alternatives from Apple, Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI ) and HTC -- especially as prices come down.
Partnering with Microsoft to sell smartphones in China alleviates this risk somewhat, but how many other regions offer as much opportunity? A growing numbers of users worldwide are adopting iPhones and Android handsets, leaving little room for new Mango-flavored gear when it becomes available.
It's sad in a way. Give Mango a look. The system's tile metaphor is far more flexible than the apps motif you'll find on an iPhone. Navigation also emphasizes people over software. Thus, you find your friend and then open her Twitter feed, rather than open Twitter and find your friend.
Reviewers appreciate the inventiveness. If only developers were as grateful.
Now it's your turn at the podium. Do you believe Mango will be a success? Please weigh in using the comments box below. You can also keep tabs on the mobile movement by adding these stocks to your Foolish watchlist:

WELL SINCE THE Phillies let Charlie go. It's time to let Jimmy Rollins go.
NOW CHARLIE MANUEL can watch the sunset at the beach. Enjoy it Uncle Chuck.
THE TWO BIGGEST mistakes that the Phillies made were letting first bench and first base/ running coaches go. The Phillies were never the same without these two great coaches. Good coaching matters
CHARLIE SAID HE would miss the best seat in the house. That is a problem because he was sitting and chatting with the players in the dugout waiting for three run homeruns. Instead of keeping his head in the game.
PHILLIES SPORTS FANS have been blessed to witness the greatest coach in Phillies and Eagles history. Nobody did it better.
WHAT A JOKE, Charlie Manuel gets the axe from mistakes of the President and the General Manager. No Manager can win games with a minor league cast on the field
SINCE CHARLIE MANUEL took over for Phillies in 2005, they had the best record in the National League.
WHY IS A-ROD getting more games than these other players, who it was there first time offender? Watch out for that Yankee Machine.
The P-N
CONGRATULATIONS TO MECHANICSBURG for winning the West Shore Tour light Championship even though they had to use forty year old pitchers to beat the young guys.
CHEERS TO PENN State Women's Coach Washington by scheduling Connecticut and Notre Dame next year. This will be great for the team and the fans.

Project 100 Targets 100-Peso Donation From Each Individual
Habitat staff in the Philippines have their photographs taken after making pledges to donate 100 pesos.
MANILA, 18 July 2012: Fund-raising initiatives are targeting the pocket and not necessarily very deep ones. Habitat for Humanity Philippines is asking people to give 100 pesos (US$2.30) monthly through Project 100.
HFH Philippines' Marmie Liquigan shares what inspired this project: "Everyone has a hundred-peso-bill in their purses or wallets that can mindlessly be spent on trivial whims. Project 100 aims to raise an awareness that that Php100 bill can be better given to a good cause."
The donations will help HFH Philippines to provide decent housing and community development initiatives to benefit the children of home partner families. Support Project 100 at Habitat's fundraising portal give2habitat.org. [1]

Watch Seducing Cindy
Cindy Margolis is a world famous super model. She gained fame for her multiple pictorials and her modeling work for companies such as Reebok, Coors, Vidal Sassoon and Frederick's of Hollywood. Cindy even made history. She was recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most Downloaded person on the internet in 1999.
Cindy Margolis is the mother of three children, including a son and a pair of twin daughters. When she divorced in 2008, she decided that it was time to get back into the dating game. She turned to the world of reality television. That is where the show Seducing Cindy originated. It was a one hour show that had eight episodes. In this show 24 men battled for a chance to win Cindy's heart. The men who participated ranged in age from 18 to 71. The entire group of Cindy's suitors each stayed in the same mansion during the run of the game. During each week of the program, Cindy would have mini-contests held to have each bachelor have a chance to win private time with her. Romance was heavy in the air even in week one when she was caught in a passionate lip lock with Eric Chine, a college wrestler who is twenty two years younger than Cindy.
Several individuals were eliminated in the show's first episode. The first suitor to bow out was 71 year old widower John Livingstone. He left voluntarily when he found the noise and craziness in the house was too much for him to handle. Single dad, Nate Anderson also voluntarily left later in the season.
As the show continued and contestants were eliminated, Cindy's time spent one on one with the men increased. Some of the other contestants that participated for Cindy's love were Night Club Promoter, Nima Tabrizi. Also male model, Leighton Stultz was feature. Another contestant was Kenny Doane. Doane actually worked as a pro wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment.

Asking your child to perform tasks around the home in exchange for an allowance can be a powerful tool for teaching lifelong lessons about the value of work and the proper respect for money. If you are looking to implement or revamp a plan for your son or daughter, taking the time to create a workable chore strategy can help you ensure your child gets the most out of the experience.
Make it age appropriate
Of course you're not going to ask your toddler to check the engine oil once a week. But also think about the other end of the spectrum. A teenager asked to feed the cat may feel that their work is trivial or belittling. On the other hand, asking them to regularly analyze the family's expenses using accounting software can be a fun challenge.
Make it exceptional
Child development experts warn that an allowance system can backfire if a child expects to get paid for any and all tasks that are done. Consider delineating certain above-and-beyond jobs that are for the allowance while making it clear that other tasks (including ad-hoc jobs) are expected to be done without compensation.
Make it educational
Allowance chores can be used as a sneaky way to increase your child's life skills. Cooking, doing laundry, or shopping for the family within budgeted levels are not only productive, but give your child experience in performing tasks that will benefit them when they are on their own.
Make it meaningful
One of the biggest complaints kids have is that they get "stuck" doing some lousy task their parents are forcing them to do. To avoid this, consider having a family meeting to discuss all the work that needs to be done to make the home function well. Let your child have input into what job kind of job(s) he or she will do to benefit the family's quality of life. This will make the chores feel more like part of a shared team responsibility and less like a burden.
Don't make it a labor dump
If you have junior applying tar to the roof while you are filling the ice cube trays, you may experience a bit of dissent. If you have some very labor intensive work you feel your child could complete, consider "hiring" them to do it or using a higher tier of allowance for this kind of job. You don't want your child to think you are just using them for cheap labor.
Don't be afraid to think creatively when assigning allowance-earning chores. Your family's circumstances are unique and you should consider those when developing your plan. That way you can use a system that benefits the whole family and creates strong life habits for your child.

French ecclesiastical historian, nephew of Antoine Pagi. Born 7 September, 1654, at Lambesc in Provence; died 21 January, 1721 at Orange. After studying with the Oratorians at Toulon, he became a Conventual Franciscan, was three times provincial, and assisted his uncle in the correction of the "annales" of Baronius. Besides editing the "Critica" of his uncle (Antoine Pagi) he wrote a history of the popes up to the year 1447: "Breviarium historico-chronologico-criticum illustriora Pontificum romanorum gesta, conciliorum generalium acta . . . complectens" (4 vols., Antwerp, 1717-27). The history was continued in two volumes by his nephew, Antoine Pagi, the Younger (Antwerp, 1748-53).

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Buying a home has never been as simple as just paying for the house. There are always the closings costs to pay for, too.
But Bank of America is doing away with the collection of fees that typically add a few thousand dollars to the price of buying a home.
"Knowing Bank of America, they want to be the leader in this space, and given the competition today, the product makes sense," said Anthony Sanders, a professor of finance at Ohio State University. "It's a good move for them."
Bank of America, the nation's second largest by assets, began offering customers in Washington state a similar no-fee mortgage in September. The loans eliminated an average $2,800 in traditional closing costs.
In February, the bank began offering the mortgage in eight other states. It has been available nationally for about two weeks, and a national advertising campaign starts today.
The loan also cuts out private mortgage insurance, a premium typically paid by borrowers whose down payment on a home is less than 20 percent. The bank is also guaranteeing customers the best deal on a mortgage and an on-time closing.
Borrowers must put at least 5 percent down, and the loan is not available to subprime consumers.
Floyd Robinson, Bank of America's president of consumer real estate and insurance services, said the loan eliminates an average $3,350 in closing costs on a $200,000 loan.
At $247 billion, Bank of America's outstanding residential mortgage portfolio was worth more than all of its commercial loans combined at the end of the first quarter. Still, industry experts say mortgages are a market Bank of America has yet to fully tap.
The company controls about 5 percent of the mortgage industry's direct-to-consumer market share, and bank officials said they would like to more than double that in the next three years.
Winning new business in mortgages also offers the bank another way to win new deposits and new business as consumers try other products or move assets to the bank.
Bank officials say they typically are able to cross-sell an average of 5.3 additional products for every mortgage customer.
Two weeks ago, Washington Mutual said it would begin offering a new mortgage and home equity line of credit bundled into a single loan.
Other national retail banks, including Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and Wachovia, offer home equity loans that waive some traditional fees, but none has a mortgage that eliminates closing costs.
During the Washington state pilot program, he said only 60 customers out of 11,000 mortgage applications went elsewhere.

Headlining the list is Wii Play, which according to NPD sales data has so far moved 11.1 million copies in North America since its launch in April 2008. That number doesn't even include copies sold as part of a Wii bundle.
Coming in at a distant second is Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with 8.25 million sales, setting up a seesawing pattern between Rockstar and Nintendo. Wii Fit is at third with 7.9 million sales, at fourth is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's 6.9 million sales, and Mario Kart Wii brings up the rear with 6.7 million units sold.[/QUO
This was number one for one reason. The wiimote that came with it!! lol

St. Paul, MN (NNCNOW.com) - Anglers can now find answers to all their fishing questions in the palm of their hand ahead of this weekend's fishing opener.
The Department of Natural Resources has rolled out a mobile website allowing anglers to easily find and understand the state's fishing regulations.
The site also includes fishing terminology and locations of fishing piers, boat landings, family-friendly fishing spots.
Fishing licenses can't be purchased online as well.
The new Fish Minnesota site is part of Governor Mark Dayton's Unsession initiative.
Before the website, the regulations were only available in a 92 page brochure.

5 Worst Countries for Women
Some women fight for suffrage—some fight for their lives.
5. Afghanistan
Between having lived in a state of war for over a decade and a maternal mortality rate of 1,400 per every 100,000 births, the women of Afghanistan know what it is to mourn.
Among one of Afghanistan's greatest struggles is in dealing with rape victims. After a long history of male-dominate cultural practices that have often leaked their way into legal practices, rape and sexual violence is considered common though nearly impossible to report. This is due to the reluctance on the part of women to speak out, often because it is a family member and also because of the ill treatment rape victims receive after the incident is revealed.
According to a 2009 report published in The New York Times, violence against women has decreased significantly ever since the overthrow of the Taliban. However, as recently as 2012, a woman who went by "Gulnaz" in the news was jailed for adultery when a relative raped her. After giving birth in jail, the courts ruled she would be released on the condition that she agree to marry her attacker. According to the humans' right organization Stop VAW, nearly half of all women held in Afghanistan's prisons are sentenced there based on similar "crimes."
4. Guinea-Bissau
Located in northwest Africa, this little country the size of Maryland packs huge problems for its women, as evidenced in the country's life expectancy of 49 years old for females.
Here only 39 percent of births are assisted by trained personnel and as a whole the country averages a maternal mortality rate of one woman per 100 births.
On the other hand, rape—even spousal rape—is illegal. Further hope emanates from the establishment of a statutory rape law of 16.
Still, however, no specific law prohibits child prostitution. Polygamy remains a major cultural practice throughout the country. Women can be married as young as 14 and are legally prohibited from ownership or inheritance. Also, men can sue for divorce at any time, but women face tremendous and often impossible legal obstacles when seeking to divorce their husbands.
Ultimately, while the country continues to grow more progressive toward women on a civic level, many of the laws stand as merely symbolic gestures as the country has shown little ability to enforce them according to reports published by the U.S. State Dept. in 2005, 2007 and 2011.
3. Sierra Leone
Forced into illiteracy and poverty through cultural practices of denying women schooling and ownership, the average woman of Sierra Leone doesn't live beyond 50 years old and many of them, 970 per 100,000, die in childbirth.
Among one of the most harmful cultural practices to take place in Sierra Leone is female circumcision. Practiced in many countries where virginity in a bride is considered a must, female circumcision can take a number of forms but is mainly done to decrease, in the minds of those who practice it, the likelihood that a girl will become sexually active previous to marriage.
In almost all cases the clitoris and outer labia are removed while more severe forms are designed to create a flesh barrier over the vagina. This is done by causing severe injury to the inner and often outer labia and then binding the girl's legs together for 2 to 4 weeks during which time the skin heals across the vagina. A small item such as a stick is then used to create a hole in the newly created flesh barrier in order to allow urine and menstrual bleeding to escape.
Some of the most dangerous outcomes of female circumcision are early death due to infection and, if a woman reaches childbearing age, increased pain and risk during labor, as reflected in the maternal mortality rates.
2. Chad
With a maternal mortality rate of 1,200 for every 100,000 births and a life expectancy of 48 years for women, Chad ranks high on our list.
In total, 70 percent of Muslim women and 30 percent of Christian women in Chad were reported as having undergone circumcision in 2004 according to the U.S. State Department. In that same year only 20.7 births were performed by skilled health personnel in 2004, according to the World Health Organization.
And while female circumcision is practiced in a number of countries, Chad is especially notorious for the cultural practice of cutting the uvula from the throat of infant girls.
In a 2012 Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, researchers announced that dangerous cultural practices including child marriage and ritualistic scarification are widely practiced and accepted in Chad, even among the women it injures. Child marriage in particular targets the female race as it is restricted to young girls with older men. This often results in psychological and physical trauma in the young, pre-pubescent girls and increased HIV infection and death during childbearing as girls become impregnated at early ages.
1. Somalia
If you're a woman in Somalia then you are lucky to live to the ripe old age of 51. You also face a 1,200 in 100,000 chance of dying in childbirth.
Even higher are your chances of suffering rape and other forms of sexual violence at the hands of bandits and rogue militia that roam the ungoverned country.
According to a 2011 UN report on the country, the odds that you will undergo female circumcision are nearly perfect at 95–98 percent—and in the most extreme form.
Obstetric fistulas are a common condition among Somali women and often result in issues of incontinence. As a result, women are frequently unable to control the smell that comes with such problems and are then banned from society for their "uncleanliness".
Because many clans are nomadic, few women have consistent access to healthcare professionals and nearly all lack funds or even awareness that treatment for such issues exists.
What can you do?
- Spread awareness. Now you know. Tell your friends. Blog, tweet, post. Let the world know what you know. The more societies that become aware and opinionated on issues, the more political and social pressure that exists to change it.
- Donate. There is often little pay in volunteering in refugee camps or in offering free clinics in third world nations. If you don't have the time but you have the money to help eliminate these issues, there are a number of highly qualified charitable and activist organizations including the International Refugee Committee (Rescue.org) where over 90 cents of every dollar is spent on direct care to those in need. Other charitable organizations working with men and women in these regions are the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR.com), Afghan Women's Mission (afghanwomenmission.com) and Amnesty International (amnesty.org).
- Use local resources. Organizations such as church groups and local charitable clubs are already in place and just need the right idea and leadership to do truly remarkable projects. Find out what you can do with a group of people by calling organizations like those listed above to find out what supplies could be gathered, money raised or local awareness projects initiated to help the women of the world find safety and success.
A special thank you to WomanStats.org

Moving articles Edit
Tip: When you find an article whose name is incorrect (like Guild:Thrall's Rejects (Sisters of Elune US) was), you can actually move the page without having to copy and paste into a new article. Just use the move tab at the top of the page and correct the name. This is preferable to copying and pasting because it preserves the article's edit history.
And thanks for finding that mis-name! // DarkRyder / / // 13:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Solicitor close to forcing release of report on BBC MidEast bias
The BBC is under new pressure to publish a five-year-old report into the fairness of its Middle East coverage after a decision this week by the Law Lords.
Steven Sugar, who has been campaigning for four years for the corporation to disclose the Balen Report under the Freedom of Information Act, overturned one of the main obstacles against its release.
After his 3-2 victory in the Lords, Mr Sugar, a commercial solicitor from London, said that there was now a strong case for issuing the report — written by the senior BBC editorial adviser, Malcolm Balen.
"They have lost their best point," Mr Sugar said. "And there is renewed interest in the report. It has recently been claimed that the report concluded that the BBC's Middle East coverage had been biased against Israel and that the BBC's decision not to broadcast the charity aid appeal for Gaza was influenced by this."
But the extraordinary legal ping-pong is not yet over: the BBC still has an outstanding High Court appeal which could yet prevent the document's publication.
"It is sad that the BBC felt it necessary to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money fighting for three years to try to load the system against those requesting information from it under the Freedom of Information Act," Mr Sugar said.
"I hope that the BBC will now stop the legal argument and will immediately publish the Balen report. If not, I am confident that my superb legal team will win the whole case in the end."
When Mr Sugar originally applied to see the report early in 2005, the BBC countered that documents relating to its journalism were exempt under the FoI Act. The Information Commissioner then ruled in favour of the BBC, but Mr Sugar successfully appealed to the Information Tribunal which backed the report's release.
The BBC then won a High Court case arguing that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the complaint — a decision subsequently upheld by the Court of Appeal when Mr Sugar contested it.
But this week the Lords agreed with arguments put by Mr Sugar's pro bono team of three barristers and two solicitors, that the Information Tribunal did have the right to make a ruling.
In a statement, the BBC said: "The Law Lords have not ruled that the Balen Report should be released. What they have done is clarify the law around the jurisdiction of the Information Tribunal.
"Public service broadcasters like the BBC are not required to disclose information under the Freedom of Information Act if it is for the purposes of 'journalism, art and literature'. The Law Lords have ordered that the issue of what is meant by 'journalism, art and literature' in this instance is now a matter for the High Court."
A spokesman for the corporation dismissed "as complete nonsense" any suggestion that the Balen Report had influenced its decision not to broadcast a charity appeal for Gaza.
He added that the publicly available Thomas Report into its coverage of Israel and the Palestinians in 2006 had concluded "that, apart from individual lapses, there was little to suggest deliberate or systematic bias".

Inspired in their partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross to let people donate directly to the Red Cross's relief efforts in the Philippines, Facebook introduced the "Donate" button that lets people contribute directly to nonprofits through Facebook.
The Donate button will appear besides the nonprofits posts on the News Feed and at the top of their Facebook pages. When people click "Donate Now" they can choose the amount, enter their payment information, and immediately donate to that cause. People can also share the nonprofit's post on their own news feed.
The Donate is now available to 19 nonprofit organization like Red Cross, UNICEF, LiveStrong and more, and if you're a nonprofit organization and wish to use the DONATE feature, you can apply here.
Facebook will not charge participating nonprofit org for using the "Donate" feature but it sure is a great way for them (Facebook) to collect credit card info from Facebooks users, that could boosts its eCommerce initiative.

After careful consideration and much regret I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
During a recent social event at one of the largest computer shows in the world it became apparent that nobody really knows anything about Ninjalane. While I would like to blame the liberal media, tabloids, and photo crazy paparazzi I have to step back and blame myself. I have been pretty elusive when it comes to talking about Ninjalane and even more elusive when it comes to talking about me. Well that is the purpose of this article; I'm going to tell you about Ninjalane, what it is, where it came from, what we do, and most importantly why you should care.
This article is going to be broken up into 3 basic parts. Part one will cover the Ninjalane history, you know the boring stuff but should highlight the major points up until this article was written. While I find great pleasure in knowing the history of things I cannot guarantee that others will share my enthusiasm. So feel free to skip ahead or read on and cringe at our rocky but very comfortable start.
The second part will cover something I'm going to call "The Anatomy of a Website". You see the thing about being a Web Professional (Designer, Developer, Architect) is that I take great pride in what I build and do my best to accomplish the task in a creative and user friendly way. In a way you can consider this my tour of the new website (Ninjalane v3) and give me a chance to talk about the new features and some of the technology behind what it takes to run Ninjalane. Keep in mind for security purposes some things will not be discussed but you should get the gist.
The third section will focus almost entirely on what Ninjalane does, why we do it, and hopefully project a mental image of why you should care. Several business analysts will warn that this sort of information is a company killer and I would agree however 90% of sites like mine will tell a similar story, I'm just going to be the brave sole and talk about it.

What would you want from Carnival if you had been on that ill-fated cruise?
Carnival Cruise Ship Full of Raw Sewage Returns With 'Vacationers' Full of Rage
The Carnival cruise ship that's been powerless and stranded in the Gulf of Mexico, AKA the SS Vacation From Hell, has finally made its way back to land. Last night, at around 10:15 p.m., passengers began to disembark the Carnival Triumph in Mobile, Alabama; the last "vacationer" exiting the ship at 1:00 a.m. Some people were seen kissing the ground after they arrived in the U.S. Others, understandably, are still reeling from the ordeal.
And, um, kind of can't blame them. Sleeping in a tent and raw sewage running down the walls -- not exactly a rejuvenating getaway.
One passenger, Brandi Dorsett was especially pleased to be back home, as she was on the cruise with her mother, a diabetic, who reportedly got poor treatment while they were stranded. Dorsett told ABC: "My mother is a diabetic, and they would not even come to the room because she cannot walk the stairs to help her with insulin. She hasn't had insulin in three days." Another passenger, Veronica Arriaga, is insulted by Carnival's attempt to reimburse them: "It's degrading," she said. "Demoralizing, and then they want to insult us by giving us $500."
After the ship docked, people on board began chanting, "Let me off! Let me off!" and sang "Sweet Home Alabama." One sign from someone waiting for their loved ones to disembark read: "Happy V-Day", while another read, "The ship's afloat, so is the sewage."
Ugh, this whole thing is just a nightmare. And while I don't think Carnival needs to pay off these people's mortgages, I don't think a voucher for another cruise is enough, based on the simple face that -- if you were on this cruise, why on earth would you want to take another one from Carnival? And unrelated side note: How much would it suck to have used up vacation days from work for this hot mess? Man, I'd be pissed.
Thankfully, everybody on the ship is safe. That's what matters most. But hot dog, what a shitty way to spend a week away. Pun intended(ish).
What would you want from Carnival if you were on this cruise?
Momrocks - I am not a lawyer but have been around ocean going boats to know that from a stricly liability standpoint they do not have the same amount of liability as on land. Maritine law is internatinal law and where the boat is registered has a lot to do with liability. That and taxes are the reasons that you hardly ever see large ships with American Flags on them.
Do not misunderstand what I originally posted. I think they should do a lot more than they have offered, but history says that they will not unless it stay sin the news and stay a PR issue. Every cruise I have been on I have meet Newly weds, people that have saved for years for a once in a life time trip, etc... so for the cruise line to replace the criuse with free certifacate for another one and give each person $500 or even $5000 does not seem right.
At the same time when you get on a boat you are taking the risk that it will break down, that there will be bad storms, that an out break of the flu, etc.. will happen and ruin the trip.
Im a bitch about these things... Assuming i didnt lose my job I think the compensation was pretty good.
In my opinion the only people that should sue are the wheelchair bound, people that lost their jobs.
I think the CEO believes he was doing the right thing, but it seems like maybe there could have been a better was of dealing with getting the people off.
ive never been on a cruise before so idk. Isnt there a disaster clause for minimal compensation for these kinda things. Seems stupid if they didnt...

CHICAGO -- Last season, it took Eagles staring quarterback Nick Foles 218 passes before he threw his first interception.
On Friday night, in the team's preseason opener against the Chicago Bears, it took him just four.
Foles was picked off in the Eagles' first series of the preseason, his first of two interceptions on the night in what was not an impressive opening performance from the starter.
"Everybody's going to look into it and try to think all these different things," Foles said of the shaky performance. "Me, personally, it's a sick feeling in my stomach."
In what was a sign of things to come, Foles stepped up into the pocket on the second play of the game and launched the ball to an area without an Eagles receiver. Luckily for Foles, however, the pass hit the ground before cornerback Charles Tilman could make the pick.
Foles luck would end with that pass.
Foles' first interception came on a 3rd-and-18 play, as Foles stepped up into the pocket as it collapsed. It looked like Foles was trying to hit receiver Ifeanyi Momah, but the ball went right to safety Ryan Mundy. Although Momah was in the area, he was not near the pass, as it hit Mundy right in the numbers.
"I felt a little pressure and was trying to throw it down the middle," Foles said. "Just a bad throw."
The throw was a bad one, but it was also a throw that Foles made plenty of times last season. The difference is that in Chicago on Friday, the defenders caught it -- something that happened only twice last season.
"We've got to be smarter with the ball and make the decision to throw it away" head coach Chip Kelly said. "Stop forcing it in there."
Foles' second pick of the night came on 2nd-and-4 play, as he threw a pass behind tight end Zach Ertz and into the arms of cornerback Sherrick McManis. It was the last pass the quarterback would throw on the night.
"I was trying to make too big of a play and sort of forced the ball in there," Foles said.
Foles ended the night six of nine for just 44 yards and two interceptions, leading the offense to zero points and 40 yards on three drives.
Despite the abysmal line, Foles did have one impressive moment in the opener, as his best throw of the night was a ball he rocketed in between three defenders to hit receiver Jeremy Maclin down the middle of the field.
Although he threw just two interceptions last season, throwing into contested windows was a problem Foles showed as the season went on. The quarterback had a few potential interceptions dropped last season, and has had a few passes picked off in training camp this season.
It is also possible Foles was trying to get rid of the ball instead of taking a sack, something the quarterback has been very vocal about working on this season.
"I'll learn from it and move forward," Foles said. "I'm going to get better."
