I booked this hotel last minute after a horrible experience in another hotel. They were able to fit me in without any problem.

Very clean & convenient to our destination & highways.
March 3, 2012
The hotel is a no frills Hampton. The rooms were spacious, but did not have in room mini fridges and they also had a piece of furniture that had no purpose - it was a short table that you could put things on, but where it should have drawers, there were none. I'd recommend this hotel if you are a business traveler or traveling with families. There are feral cats (friendly feral cats), but they don't bother anyone and are kinda cute. ...

I highly recommend this hotel for anyone. It is very convenient if you are going out on a cruise ship or picking someone up the next morning. It only took us 15 minutes or less to get to the docks. We also headed due east and ended at Ft. Lauderdale beach which was a nice suprise. Lots of restaurants and music.

If you're interesting in taking private guitar lessons in Queens NY you've come to the right place. I have a laid back approach to teaching that keeps the lessons fun while covering all the material that you'll need to become a proficient guitarist.
Have a look around, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all, or if you're interested in setting up a lesson.
There are thousands of guitar websites online that cover a wide range of material, not to mention the countless number of books and dvds that are out there dedicated to learning how to play the guitar. So why do you need to take private guitar lessons?
While you can find a lot of valuable information in books and on the internet, they're no substitute for sitting down with a patient and dedicated teacher. By taking private guitar lessons you'll have access to all the material that you can find on the internet and in books with the added benefit of having an experience guitarist to evaluate your progress and correct any flaws in your technique to insure that you aren't forming any bad habits. Developing bad habits may slow your progress or keep you from taking your guitar playing to the next level. Taking private lessons also affords you the opportunity to have your questions answered automatically without dealing with the frustration of having to search through dozens of websites or books.

ATLANTA-Four players reached double figures for the Atlanta boys basketball team as the Huskies topped Au Gres 74-42 on Thursday.
Garrett Badgero led the Huskies with 24 points, Taylor Juergens and Jake Chambers each has 13 points and Jacob Dobbyn had 10.
Atlanta jumped out to a 15-4 lead after one quarter and led 36-14 at halftime. Atlanta outscored the Eagles 38-28 in the second half.
John Rowbottom led Au Gres with 21 points and Cade Mahon added 10.
Tawas 53, Alcona 47
TAWAS-The Tawas girls basketball team had a lot to be happy about on Thursday.
Not only did the Braves win on Senior Night, they won their regular season finale and won a share of the Huron Shores Conference title with a 53-47 win over Alcona at Tawas High School.
Olivia Janis scored 12 points for Tawas (11-7, 5-1 Huron Shores) as the Braves took control from the opening tip and outscored Alcona in every quarter but one.
"It was a huge win. You could say wins don't get any bigger," Tawas coach Todd Kaems said.
Alcona (14-3, 4-1 Huron Shores) trailed 27-25 at the half, but fought back to a 41-41 tie after three quarters. Tawas stepped up on both ends of the floor and outscored the Tigers 12-6 in the final period.
Karina Cole led Alcona with 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists. She is now one point shy of 1,000 for her career.
Nikki Smith added 12 points and Kendra Cole had 11 rebounds.
"Tawas had our number tonight. We played well in spurts but never could match their intensity," Alcona coach Brad Cole said. "Our girls worked hard but just couldn't find the basket at the end."
Alcona hosts Posen on Saturday while Tawas begins district play on Wednesday after getting a first-round bye.
Tawas' JV team topped Alcona 35-33.

Range Description
Megadyptes antipodes breeds in New Zealand on the South Island's south-east coast (470 pairs), Foveaux Strait and Stewart Islands (220-400 pairs in 1994, dropping to 178 pairs in 1999-200115), Auckland Islands (520-570 pairs) and Campbell Islands (405 pairs)16. Two severe mortality events in 1986 and 1990 each halved the number of South Island pairs and in 2004 50% of chicks in South Island were killed by diptheritic stomatisis16. However, numbers have recovered to 1980 levels16. The Catlins population (south-east coast of South Island) may have declined by 75% since the 1940s2,9. Numbers of individuals on Campbell Island declined between 1987 and 199810. Adults are sedentary, but juveniles disperse north as far as the Cook Strait3. It was previously thought to have a historic range reaching the northern end of the South Island, however a recent paper revealed this to be a distinct species19.

WEST DEPTFORD TWP. — Two township men have confessed to stealing items ranging from a 50-inch TV to vintage coins from a home, police said, and selling some of the goods in Camden.
Thomas J. Murdock and Wilson A. Bunton, both 24, were each charged with burglary and theft in connection with the Sept. 20 break-in at the South Union Street home in the township's Thorofare section.
Murdock was also charged with criminal mischief and had an outstanding warrant. He posted his bail, set at $10,000 or 10 percent of that , and was released.
Bunton was released on summonses.
Police were called to the home Sept. 22. There, they found that burglars had forced entry through a rear door, Township Police Chief Craig Mangano said.
The house had been ransacked, he explained. Reported taken were the 50-inch Samsung TV, a laptop computer, vintage coins and jewelry including gold necklaces, bracelets and pearls.
Soon, police were led to Murdock and Bunton when a witness offered information on the burglary to Inv. John Craig, who was conducting the investigation, Mangano said.
During questioning, both men admitted to the break-in, the chief continued, adding they'd sold the stolen electronics on the street in Camden. They'd sold the jewelry at The Jewelry Exchange in Monroe Township, Mangano said.
All the jewelry was eventually returned to the owners, he said.

Towards Ensuring Free and Fair Elections: SADC/Zimbabwe Road Map: Civil Society Role and Challenges
The African Public Policy and Research Institute (APPRI) in collaboration with the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR)
Pages: 34
Publisher: IJR
Date of publication: 2011
The issue of democratic elections in Africa has remained a very problematic matter. This has become particularly the case because in many African countries elections have been attended by violence either at the point when they are taking place or after results come out. The general picture is that of a tendency not to accept the results if they are not favourable. Out of this emerges violence which plunges the countries into extended periods of political instability that also affects the economies of the affected countries. It remains a challenge for the emerging African democracies to address the issue of post-election violence if they are to enable their citizens to achieve the so much desired advanced quality of life.
While it may be easy to identify instances of post-election violence, it is more difficult to explain the genesis of such violence. While different people from different countries may advance different explanations that depict local situations, a general explanation may have to do with the process of failure to deepen democracy in the majority of the countries. For some analysts, the crisis of a shallow democracy arises from a failure to make a meaningful democratic transition. It appears that African democracies are not able to consolidate, hence the failure to internalize democratic principles that are essential for respecting election results even if they are not favourable. At another level, it has been argued that the failure of democratic consolidation arises from the adoption of liberal democracy which emphasizes personal accumulation through the state apparatus. Whatever argument is raised, the workshop noted that Southern Africa has a huge deficit of democratic transition and consolidation that needs to be addressed for purposes of both political and economic stability.
The case of election-related violence in Zimbabwe was deliberated upon and was considered to be a threat to regional security. It was argued that the Zimbabwe experience was informative to other states in the region, particularly on the handling of elections and their aftermath. Elections are a democratic mechanism of power transfer and they should be respected and the results should be accepted. There is a need for the states to reformat themselves such that some sectors are not allowed to influence the electoral process or the results of elections. Particular reference was made to the security sector which in the case of Zimbabwe was seen to be driving the violence that has ravaged the country resulting in the loss of many lives. The fact that the army has ceased to be the protector of democracy and democratic institutions lamented. The uniformed forces are manipulated by politicians to focus on the protection of regimes rather than the people. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift from regime security to human security. Security sector players should not be aligned to any political party and should not be politicized. In some African states, the uniformed forces are partisan political actors who have assumed the responsibility of being ‗king makers' and that does not work well for the consolidation of democracy. The workshop was of the view that there is a need to stop the politicization of the security sector in order to eradicate election-related violence.
The depoliticization of the security sector lies at the foundation of removing the uniformed forces from politics. The fundamental mechanism for this is security sector reform (SSR) which should be treated as a process rather than an event. If the countries of the region can undergo the SSR process, the military would be able to perform the mandate suggested by different African Union (AU) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) protocols to which many of the member states are signatory. It is through genuine SSR processes that the paradigm shift suggested above can take place.
The role of civil society in African elections remains very paramount. It can be argued that where the civil society space is open, the pre-election ground can be better levelled, the electoral process would be better monitored, and the post-election environment would be healthy. All this is possible if civil society does not abdicate from its democratic mandate of oversight. The workshop emphasized that civil society faces numerous challenges, both internal and external. The case of Zimbabwe showed that internal squabbles and intense competition within civil society remains a big challenge. There is also the problem of state hostility in a politically polarized society. It was clear that in all the countries civil society remains weak and therefore not able to play its role of being drivers of democracy. In spite of all these challenges there is clear evidence that civil society continues to address issues of election-related violence. However, their ability to mobilize communities for political change and full democratization remains very minimal, especially if compared to the achievements of their counterparts in other parts of the world. It should be underscored that the workshop concluded that civil society remains the most viable and potentially effective way of dealing with the issue of election-related violence.

A gray whale was found dead over the weekend near the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton.
State Department of Fish and Wildlife marine mammal specialist Steve Jeffries says it appears to a juvenile female about 30 feet long. He says it was emaciated and likely died of starvation.
The Kitsap Sun reports the whale is believed to be the same one that was seen last week in Tacoma.
A few gray whales die each year in Washington waters. Jeffries says the whale will be towed into deep water in Puget Sound and sunk.-- The Associated Press

Hanging Chad mystery solved
"Frank Lawler and Ann McCurdy of Seattle question Morris Edward Oscar Wittles, aka Meow (played by Jerry Lechner) in their quest to find the murderer in Langley's Mystery Weekend.Photos by John SoltysWas it Col. Mustard with a knife in the billiard room? Mrs. Peacock with a rope in the kitchen? Or Professor Plum with a candlestick in the ballroom?Wait. Wrong mystery. The suspects in last Saturday and Sunday's Langley Mystery Weekend, Much Ado About Kitties, (or The Cat's Revenge) had names that sounded just as intriguing, however: Was the criminal Petunia Bush, Pixie Pompadour, Dimples Chad, Basta Ra, Claudia Catswell, Catsandra al Tigre, Mayor Lloyd Furman?Yes, that familiar Langley personage was also a suspect in the 17th annual event that each year draws a thousand or more amateur sleuths to Langley to collect clues and try to catch the killer of the year's murder victim.We gave out 1,407 ballots, said Yvonne Hall of the Langley South Whidbey Chamber of Commerce, which produces Mystery Weekend. Last year there were about 1,000, so it was quite an increase. The ballots cost a buck each, so the sleuths were serious.Among the amateur detectives were Frank Lawler and Ann McCurdy of Seattle, who rented a cabin for their stay on the island. McCurdy was a return visitor, but Lawler was a first-timer.We have many theories, they said. We've talked to eight people so far, but we get conflicting information from everyone.B. J. Muraglia, who came to Langley from Kent, said she collected the clues on Saturday and spent the night going over and over and over them.There's lots of lyin' characters, she said. It was Muraglia's first visit to Mystery Weekend, and she said she would definitely return next year.Likely there will be more returnees after so successful an event this year.The weather was so glorious, said Loretta Martin, Chamber of Commerce director. I felt so guilty praying for sun, since we need the rain so much!But sun was present, even though there was a nip in the air.People clustered in the park, and on the sunny sides of the street, Martin said. They all seemed to be having such a good time.So who did the crime and will he or she serve the time?The victim, Mark Chad, candidate for City Cat Catcher, had been found hanging from his campaign banner in back of the South Whidbey Historical Museum. Just about everyone had a reason to kill him, from Rufus Ratskiller, owner of the Kill Them With Kindness organic pest control company, to Chad's wife Dimples, or Kitty Kitsap, Chad's election opponent, or Morris Edward Oscar Wittles, who is planning a new cathouse in town. And what about the followers of the ancient cat goddess Bast, including Basta Ra, his Orthodox High Priest? Or even Bob, the cat at Violet Fields (who actually received some votes, Martin said).Retired U.S. Marshal and local detective I.B. Fuzz (played by Saranell DeChambeau) revealed all on Sunday afternoon in the solution play, when she gathered the suspects together and confronted the criminal.Who was: Catsandra al Tigre, originally from Dawson City, Alaska. Catsandra learned that Chad had also been in Dawson City, during the time her father, a gold miner, was found dead of overexposure in the Yukon wilderness.Chad had stolen the gold claim, leaving Catsandra's father to die, Martin explained. He then returned to Dawson City and beat up Catsandra's mother to prevent her from challenging the claim. When Catsandra realized who Chad was, she thought 'Aha! This is my chance to get even,' Martin said. She found Chad on a ladder behind the museum, where he was taking down his campaign banner. She snuck up on silent cat's feet and, with catlike speed, slung the loose rope around his neck and pushed him off the rickety old ladder.The ladder was actually from the museum, Martin added.Winnie McLeod said we could use it, but that it was very 'old and rickety,' Martin said. We said that was exactly what we wanted.There were seven names drawn for prizes from those who correctly solved the mystery: From first to last they are Susan Hanada of Mukilteo; Nori O. Herman from Bremerton; Bill Hack, all the way from Arkansas; Christy Jordan of Seattle; Jennifer Barrow from Langley; Victory Barron of Seattle; and Greg Slate of Bothell.First and second prizes were stays at the Eagles Nest and Island Forest Retreat B&Bs, while other winners received candy, sweatshirts, books, a puzzle, even a T-shirt from the Luxor Casino Las Vegas (where Catsandra had been a former showgirl).The mystery solution can be heard on the voice mail of the Langley Chamber of Commerce, 360-221-5676.

Thirty minors, including several Lewis & Clark College students, pleaded no contest Wednesday to alcohol charges related to a party that got out of control at a Lake Oswego home.Police responding to complaints Sept. 21 found a 17-year-old girl unconscious in the basement of the home in the 13000 block of Knaus Road. Police handed out dozens of citations that night for minor in possession of alcohol, furnishing alcohol to minors and providing a place where minors can drink.
The girl was treated at a hospital and later returned to her dorm at Lewis & Clark. Three of the five tenants of the home – Liam Healy, 22, Matthew Cathcart, 21 and Cory Davis, 21 – were cited on accusations of furnishing alcohol to minors, a Class A misdemeanor.
The 30 minors ranged in age from 18 to 20, and their plea of no contest to charges of being a minor in possession of alcohol has the same effect as a guilty plea. Many qualified for the court's deferred sentencing program, which will impose no driving restrictions for the next year and wipe the incident off their records as long as they stay out of trouble.
"You will be amazed at the number of people who blow it off or just don't bother," Judge William Bruce Shepley told the crowd, "and I end up defaulting them and their license gets suspended and they pay a lot more money."
Once news of the citations spread in the first few days after the party, Courtney Hasselbach, the landlord of the house, served the tenants an eviction notice, ordering them to leave by Nov. 30. All five are students at Lewis & Clark College.
A spokesperson for the college did not immediately return a request for comment on the potential punishments the school may impose on the students.
This story was amended to clarify that the minors pleaded no contest.

Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test With Weeks Estimator
The Test that Revolutionizes Home Pregnancy Testing
The Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator is the latest innovation in pregnancy testing. It is the first and only pregnancy test that also provides an estimate of time since ovulation, for women testing pregnant.
- It is an over-the-counter semi-quantitative urine test for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is intended for the detection of pregnancy.
- It is over 99% accurate at determining pregnancy, when testing from the day of the expected period.1
- Uniquely it not only informs a woman whether she is pregnant or not, but, if she is pregnant, it also estimates the time since ovulation, in categories of 1-2, 2-3 and 3+ weeks.
Indications for use: The Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator is an over-the-counter urine hCG test which is intended for the detection of pregnancy. The test detects hCG in some cases from 4 days before the expected period (which is 5 days before the day of the missed period).
This test is only intended for individual use at home. It is not intended for use in a healthcare setting.
This test contains a 'Weeks Estimator.' The 'Weeks Estimator' is meant solely as an estimate for the consumer and is not intended as a substitute for a doctor's clinical diagnosis. The 'Weeks Estimator' is not intended for multiple pregnancies. The estimate provided by the device may be inaccurate in these cases.
This test cannot be used to determine the duration of pregnancy or to monitor the progression of pregnancy. Your doctor determines how many weeks pregnant you are based on the first day of your last menstrual period and ultrasound results. This test provides a different estimate that cannot be substituted for a doctor's determination of gestational age. Only your doctor can provide a reliable estimate of gestational age and only your doctor can monitor pregnancy progression. You should seek qualified prenatal care if you suspect you are pregnant.
Accurate and sensitive for the detection of pregnancy
The Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator is also sensitive enough to be used up to 4 days before the expected period (Table One).2
|Table One. Percentage of pregnancies detected with the Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator.1,2
|Days before expected period
|Pregnancy detection rate, %
Unique "Weeks Estimator" feature
- As with other home pregnancy tests, the Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator detects hCG, the hormone produced early in pregnancy and excreted in the urine.3
- Uniquely, in addition to detecting hCG, the Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator also measures the level of hCG to estimate time since ovulation.
- The Weeks Estimator feature assumes ovulation occurred on the day after the urinary luteinizing hormone (LH) surge4,5 and works on a threshold basis of urinary hCG levels: there are three time bands that give an estimate of 1-2, 2-3 and 3+ weeks since ovulation (Figure One). These thresholds are based on extensive research of urinary hCG rise in early pregnancy.6
Gives the earliest estimation of time since ovulation
Traditionally the day of the last menstrual period (LMP) has been used to date early pregnancy, as in most cases this is the only information available at this stage. However, many women have poor recollection of their LMP7 and it provides an estimate accurate to within a week in only 46% of women.8
The day of fertilization is the most accurate method for dating pregnancy and this can be estimated from the day of ovulation, as studies have shown that the egg survives for only 16-17 hours9 and that a woman's fertile period ends on the day of ovulation.10–12
The Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator is more accurate than LMP.
- It gives an estimate of time since ovulation relative to the LH surge.13
- Agreement of the Weeks Estimator results with other clinical findings ranges widely from 45-99%.14
How the Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator results relate to clinical care
The package insert makes it clear that women should seek guidance from a healthcare professional (HCP) on receipt of a positive (Pregnant) result, and also helps to put the results into context with other methods of pregnancy dating; i.e., this test estimates time since ovulation, which can be related to the way a doctor dates pregnancy if an idealized follicular phase (14 days) is added to the Weeks Estimator result. The table below is included in the package insert of the product to enable women to understand how the result from their Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator relates to pregnancy dating by HCPs (Table Two). The Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator is not a replacement for clinical care, but rather provides information that a woman is immediately interested in once she has received a pregnant result, i.e., "how long is it since I ovulated?"
|Table Two
|What does this mean?
|Your result is Pregnant and you may be 1-2 weeks since ovulation.
|Your result is Pregnant and you may be 2 and up to 3 weeks since ovulation.
|Your result is Pregnant and you may be more than 3 weeks since ovulation.
|How your doctor may date your pregnancy (weeks pregnant)*

TRENTON — An Essex County jury today declared a mistrial in the state's eight-week case against a former State Police sergeant who was accused of moonlighting as an insurance company investigator and using state resources to carry out the job.
George Daggett, an attorney for the sergeant, James DeLorenzo, said the jury announced it could not reach a verdict. A spokesman for the state Attorney General's Office, Peter Aseltine, said prosecutors would retry the case.
From January 2008 and August 2009, prosecutors alleged, DeLorenzo submitted electronic time sheets for his work for the State Police, but instead was working as an investigator for a private insurance company, Geico.
Prosecutors also claimed DeLorenzo used state resources to advance that work.
But Daggett countered that DeLorenzo was actually a victim of the State Police, which he said subjected him to several baseless internal investigations in order to suspend him without pay, hold up his retirement and thus prevent him from receiving pension payments.
Daggett said DeLorenzo, assuming he would be able to retire, had taken the second job with Geico. He was eventually cleared of all the internal charges and able to leave the State Police when he hit the mandatory retirement age of 55.
"He was in a no-man's land," Daggett said.
Daggett said DeLorenzo believed the internal investigations and the indictment, handed up in 2011, was payback by the State Police after he sued the division alleging he was targeted for raising concerns about mismanagement of the Solid Hazardous Waste Unit.
But Daggett was not able to make that argument as part of the trial, he said, nor was he able to argue that DeLorenzo was a victim of selective prosecution by showing that troopers who committed far worse offenses were not charged criminally.
DeLorenzo's civil suit against the State Police is pending.
• Former NJ State Police sergeant on trial on charges of moonlighting as insurance worker
• Suspended N.J. State Police sergeant files whistle blower lawsuit

I thought I'd slow down for a second and ask a few questions. We'll call it, "Getting to know each other." Partly because I often have random things to say and mostly because I wonder about you. I wonder who you are and what gets you through the day.
I don't know if I'm the only person that thinks about this, but when I drive past houses I wonder about the people that live there. I will wax rhetoric to whoever is in the car with me about the fullness of a life we will never know anything about. The kids smile politely when I go on and on about how important that person is….whoever they are….and they have no idea we exist. But if I'm with other adults they look at me like I've lost my ever-lovin-mind.
I can't help it. I love people. I don't want to hang around with them, but I love them. Because Christ loves them.
So I wonder about you. Who are you? What makes you tick? What sparks your passion?
I'll ask a few questions, tell you my answers then, if you want to share, you can answer in the comments. Here we go!
1. Are you right or left handed?
Not a deep question, but we're just getting started. I am left handed.
2. How many siblings do you have? Where do you fall in line?
Again….just getting to know you. Where you fall tells a lot about you. I grew up with 2 siblings, one brother and one sister. My brother passed away a few years ago so it's just my sister and I now. But I'll always think of myself as one of 3. It's who I am. And, if you hadn't guessed it already, I was the oldest.
3. What do you do to relax?
Relaxing is rare for me since I never stop. I would say I go to the movies to relax. It makes me be still. If I'm watching a movie at home I work on the computer at the same time. In the theater I am forced to let everything else go for a couple of hours. Of course, it's not relaxing when the movie is horrible or vulgar. I am careful about what I will watch, but I'm going to confess that I see a lot of movies. Our little theater down the street is only $5 so I see a movie 2-3 times a month.
4. What is something you would like to change about your home?
I have a constant list running in my head. Since I keep it in my head, James is often surprised when I blurt out things like, "We have GOT to replace that chair. It has been irritating me for YEARS!" Years, really? Because I never said anything about it until now and I'm acting like it has to be done tomorrow or someone will die.
I'm not sure what would be first on my important mental list. I'll have to say two. If we're talking about something that will actually happen I'd say I want to change the furniture in my bedroom. It needs some tweaking and moving around. If we're talking huge, probably never going to happen….then I'd have to say my dream of adding on a big living room. I have the plans all ready to go in my mind, but the bank account rolls its eyes every time I mention it.
5. What is one thing you do that you REALLY have a passion for?
We're getting deep now, right to the heart. That thing that you get excited just thinking about. Even if it's hard work, you can't wait to start.
For me it would have to be creating things. I get such a thrill out of the spark of an idea, then the process of creating in my mind and finally turning it into an actual, touch-it-its-real object of beauty. Once it's done I move on to the next idea. It's the process that I love so deeply.
Now it's your turn. I want to know who you are. Answer one or two or ALL of the questions. Whatever you want. Whatever you would like to share. I love getting to know YOU!
Follow me on Facebook for more opportunities to get to know each other!

Penn State Nittany Lions (10-10, 1-6 Big Ten) at No. 24 Ohio State Buckeyes (16-4, 3-4)
When: Wednesday, 7:01 p.m.
Where: Value City Arena, Columbus, Ohio
TV: Big Ten Network
Announcers: Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) and Stephen Bardo (analysis)
Tickets: OhioStateBuckeyes.com
Breaking down the Buckeyes: Freshman Marc Loving has seen his minutes reduced recently, playing 11 or fewer in each of the last four games. That has been in part because starter LaQuinton Ross has played well and stayed on the floor, and in part because Loving has been battling a minor wrist injury. The Buckeyes are coming off a week-long break since last Wednesday's win over Illinois, and he should be improved. "Marc has been a little bit banged up, but I need him to get back to being aggressive offensively," Thad Matta said. "He's been a little bit passive the last couple games, and if he misses his first shot, it's OK, we need him to play forward. And he seemed receptive to what I was saying to him." ... Shannon Scott is averaging just over 3 points per game in the last four games, and he's another guy Matta would like to see look for more offense. "I want him to be aggressive, I want him thinking in terms of scoring when the opportunity is there," Matta said. "He's been a little bit hesitant, but he made some great moves the other night." ... The Buckeyes broke a four-game losing streak with their win over the Illini, but Matta found a positive spin on 16-4, however the Buckeyes have gotten here. "There's still a lot to be told, because there's so much basketball still to be played," Matta said. "During those four losses, I never questioned our effort. We were playing really hard. ... I liked how this team came back to practice. If you look back, which I have, 14 years as a head coach, 16-4 is pretty good right now." ... As part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness, Ohio State staffers will wear lapel pins with purple ribbons for former OSU assistant, and current Akron staffer, Dan Peters. Peters is battling pancreatic cancer. His son, Danny, was a walkon player at Ohio State when his father was on Matta's staff.
Breaking down the Nittany Lions: Penn State has lost 18 straight against the Buckeyes, including all 17 since Thad Matta arrived in Columbus. ... The Nittany Lions got their first Big Ten win in their last game against Nebraska after an 0-6 start that included two three-point losses and a one-point loss. "They've been in every single game they've played this season and had some of the craziest losses I've seen," Matta said. ... Penn State features one of the best backcourts in the Big Ten in point guard Tim Frazier (16.5 ppg, 6.4 apg) and shooting guard D.J. Newbill (17.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg). "Frazier and Newbill have shown they can go into an arena and get 30 on you," Matta said. ... The Nittany Lions are averaging 75.2 points per game, which if it holds up would be their highest scoring average in 13 years.
Doug's pick: Ohio State 64, Penn State 54
Ari's pick: Ohio State 76, Penn State 65

In the example.perl code, there is no need to do "use lib './';", since > "." is already in @INC by default. Right, but just note that sometimes the statement "use lib '.';" can be useful. While "." is already in @INC, it's usuaully the last element. use lib prepends the path (in our case ".") to @INC and so now, the modules at the local dir are used before the ones at the more global paths. (instead of the opposite). So, if you want to override some modules that are already found in your system, you need to use this statement or something similar. I found the need to use it for a web-application I wrote for a server I'm co-admining. But excuse me, I now need to hide so that the Perl gestapo won't hunt me down and execute me.

Arooga's Grille House & Sports Bar is expanding into New England.
The chain announced today in a press release that it has entered into a franchise agreement with gaming giant, The Mohegan Tribe in a deal that calls for 15 Arooga's to open in the next five years. This marks the first time an Arooga's restaurant will be located outside of Pennsylvania.
The first New England Arooga's will be built this summer next to a Mohegan in Uncasville, Connecticut, according to the release.
The 9,000-square-foot restaurant will have a separate restaurant and bar with a large deck. It will boast more than 100 big screen televisions, 40 domestic and craft beers on tap and the Arooga's menu of wings, sandwiches and burgers.
The Mohegan Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe located in Uncasville and its gaming authority oversees the Mohegan Sun casinos including Pocono Downs in Wilkes-Barre and the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.
In 2010, Arooga's was selected as America's Next Top Restaurant Franchise, beating 250 entrants from 36 states in a program co-sponsored by Sysco Foods and The Franchise Edge a nationwide search to find an independent restaurant that could franchise.
Arooga's was founded in 2008 and mixes sports bar with family dining. It operates eight locations with a ninth scheduled to open this summer in Shippensburg.

uve been warned
Sentiment: Strong Sell
They warned on the conference call of their last financials that the 4th quarter would not be profitable. The funny thing is that with high overhead profitability should be less with volume unless they have negative margins and/or too much overhead. So if they lose money in the 4th quarter when their assets are utilized more efficiently, what does that say to the 1st quarter. There only hope is world domination coupled with vertical integration.
Sentiment: Sell
Sammy that is funny, Bezos is a master of setting up profit, what he said was that profit could be a loss of 500 million to a billion all the way to a gain of 500 million to a billion appox, I see a 2-5 billion profit, the street blown away, every short wiped out, those in upper management that see with their eyes how good things are will all start big buying, each week till earnings lift off. Wall Street Billionaires and Hedge Funds want to see how Amzn would compete with goog if it had the same market cap.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
So why would you care?? The world is ending on 12/21 in your world anyway.
Warn about what?
