MOBILE, Alabama-- For her 21st birthday, USA sophomore Jordan Greer didn't want to celebrate with booze and parties like most college students.
She wanted to do 21 random acts of kindness.
"I want to get 21 people to do at least one act of kindness on my birthday," Greer texted her best friend Marissa Boyd.
Greer didn't make it to her 21st birthday.
She passed away on March 26 after a sudden medical condition that occurred while she was playing volleyball at the USA Recreation Center on campus. Greer spent several days in a coma before passing away.
"She came up with the idea [random acts of kindness] two days before she died," Boyd said. "She was, and is still, sunshine."
USA's student newspaper dedicated two pages to memories of Greer and had more emails and messages pour in than were able to be printed.
Friends called her a volunteer, a teammate and a bright spirit.
It was that spirit that led Greer's memory to be honored even after her passing.
"I met with her late on the day she collapsed, and we planned the project. She was so excited about seeing people be kind to each other on her birthday... Jordan was a truly beautiful person, and I feel blessed to have known her," CASLCE Director Karen Peterson said.
The Student Government Association also pitched into help cover the cost of memorial wristbands and several campus organizations banded together to make signs and cards that encouraged others to pay it forward.
All over campus on Wednesday, signs of the celebration of Greer's life were visible.
Dollar bills in plastic bags were taped to vending machines with a note explaining why, cookies and candy were passed out in bags and doors were held open with a smile.
USA student Daniel Moran visited Rite-Aid and obliged when the cashier asked for a donation-- his total rounded up to $21.
The Delta Lambda Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority made cards for patients in a local nursing home, many helped by buying someone breakfast or a cup of coffee at Starbucks and finding ways to show kindness in their own lives.
"In honor of my beautiful niece, I purchased gift cards which will be given to my church for distribution to a person in need," said Laura Greer. "We love and miss you," she said.
The USA community rallied.
USA social work teacher Kimberly Pettaway did something kind for her students. "I surprised one of my tougher classes with a take-home test," she said.
USA librarian Ellen Wilson gave a stranger a $10 giftcard to Chill Frozen Yogurt, and kindness didn't stop there as dozens of people decided to spread the gift of kindness.
Breanna Maxwell donated teddy bears to Wilmer Children's Hall, Carly Bragg bought Starbucks for the next customer in line and Derrick Maxwell helped a lady that was short on cash at Walmart.
Most of all, the day touched Greer's mother's heart.
"Today was amazing and overwhelming...in a great way! If there was a right way to die, she did. She loved God and sports and God took her while she was doing what she loved. She was beautiful, bright, goofy, talented; but generous to a fault! When I spoke to her that last evening, before her game she told me that it was the best day of her life! I miss her tremendously and I love her still; but I know that she was sent her on a mission and she always finished every task....early. Jordan was always a happy child and now she's happy in Heaven," mom Tracie Brown said.
Everyone involved hopes that a new tradition has resulted from the tragedy of lost life and that October 16 will continue to be Random Acts of Kindness Day.

Hurricane Sandy is a wake-up call for the country much like Louisiana's awakening after Katrina. Extreme weather and horrific damage is a new fact of life. Bloomberg Business News' front page captured the feeling best: "It's global warming, stupid."
It wasn't always this way. In the 2000s, 77 percent of Americans and nearly two-thirds of Republicans believed the Earth is warming. What happened? University of Michigan professor, Jon Miller, writes in a July study of attitudes toward climate change: "Adults have a limited attention span for public policy issues and tend to grow tired of the same issues if they persist over a number of years." This is tough to swallow. I am an American, and I don't stop trusting in science out of boredom. To avoid more wake-up calls, we really need everyone to keep paying attention and get to work on a solution that works for everyone.

iSonic 101 test result: congratulations!
I just bought the last issue of PlancheMag. It is a test issue. In the slalom board test, iSonic 101 was declared "coup de coeur" by the test team, meaning it is one of their favourite boards based on the feelings one gets on the water.
From the very little French I can understand, it seems that the strongest point of the iSonic 101 is the ability to keep high speeds through a variety of changing conditions, being well controllable in gusts and not slowing down in holes; while displaying absolute performances on a par with the best competitors.
Congratulations Starboard!

MIDLAND, MI – While building soaring structures out of LEGO blocks might seem a snap to most folks, the artist behind "Icons of the Sky: LEGO Architecture of Adam Reed Tucker" at Midland's Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art will tell you, it's anything but child's play.
"I capture the essence of the structure, as an artist and an architect," said Tucker, who designs the LEGO Architecture kits. "It might be the world's tallest building or one that was never built, brought back to life.
"I did each for various reasons; there's a purpose behind each."
Accompanied by "Classic Chicago: The Art of Architectural Drawings" and "The Architecture of an Idea: Illustrations and Concepts," two large-scale train city scapes created in collaboration with the Michigan LEGO Users Group and a Snap-Zone Hands-On Children's Education Area, it's an exhibition that begs for repeat visits before they close Sept. 7, said museum director Bruce Winslow.
Winslow gathered 15 artists from around the United States and Canada to capture a sense of buildings through a wide variety of approaches in "The Architecture of an Idea."
"Not everything is positively tangible," he said. "You do see some purely artistic imagery and some different ways of interpreting what they see."
And Chicago artist Jack Nixon's work is "magnificent, magnificent, simply unbelievable," he said.
Drawing influence from the Old World masters known for their paintings of past architecture, Nixon captured the iconic aspects of Chicago, from ornaments on facades to sculptures on its bridges.
"It is just phenomenal," Winslow said. "The level of detail is stunning. As word of mouth grows, this exhibition is going to build. It's one that engages its audience rather than just offering something to look at."
A week before the exhibits opened May 11, Tucker came to Midland and assembled his 15 works, created with 553,000 standard LEGO blocks and transported in 60 to 70 crates. He'll return in July as part of a series of related programs scheduled throughout the run.
Tucker began developing a keen sense of eye-to-hand coordination with his first set of LEGOs when he was 3 or 4, he said, and while his love of architecture led him into his first career, the blocks threw him a lifeline when economic woes hit the building industry.
Now he has his sights set on bridges, "trading vertical architecture for horizontal engineering," Tucker said. "Man-made bridges have been around for 3,000 years and there are the obvious choices, but being famous or popular has nothing to do with my choices.
"It's more or less about what they represent. I want to capture the story behind them."
The museum at 1801 W. St. Andrews in Midland is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. Admission costs $9 for adults and $6 for children 4 to 14.

New U.K.-India Cultural Ties? Hardly
The only official signing ceremony of British Prime Minister David Cameron's much-hyped visit to India concerned a memorandum of understanding on cultural cooperation.
It promised several new initiatives designed to cement the fresh bonds that Mr. Cameron is seeking to stoke between the U.K. and her former colony. A joint briefing by the two governments issued Thursday night noted, under a section called "People to People Contacts" (as opposed to what, "People to Alien Contacts?"), that this new MOU "will provide a framework for a significant expansion of the rich cultural exchange between India and the U.K."

This column by Steve Jeffrey of The Anchor Weekly, published June 9, is virtually identical to one written by Telegram columnist Russell Wangersky more than three years earlier. Jeffrey resigned Tuesday. — Screen grab of website issuu.com
A journalist accused of plagiarizing several writers, including three from Newfoundland, has resigned.
As reported by The Telegram Monday, Steve Jeffrey, the editor, publisher and owner of the Anchor Weekly in Chestermere, in southern Alberta, was accused Monday by an American humour writer of plagiarizing more than 40 of his weekly columns in the past year from 14 different writers, including Russell Wangersky, Ed Smith and Bill Westcott of Newfoundland.
On Tuesday, Jeffrey sent an email to the Calgary Herald, saying he used materials from other writers as "inspiration" for his weekly column, "Sittin' in the Lighthouse."
"I really don't have any way to defend myself. I did use articles for inspiration, but thought that I had changed the content enough to comply," he wrote in the email to the Herald, adding he's out of town and would comment further upon his return. "In the meantime, I have tendered my resignation," he wrote.
Jeffrey did not respond to The Telegram's requests Tuesday for comment. An email sent to his address received an automated reply stating he's out of town until April 13 and would respond then. He told The Telegram Monday he was going to British Columbia for a week.
Ashton Faulkner, a reporter at the Anchor, told The Telegram she spoke to Jeffrey Tuesday morning. He told her he was resigning, she said, but not much else.
"He said essentially the exact same thing to me that he did to the Herald," she said. "I'm sorry I can't give you much more than that, but he's really the only one that knows what's going on, and I can't really speculate."
Given that Jeffrey is the owner of the Anchor, its unclear what his resignation means for the paper.
"I'm a little bit confused. I'm kind of waiting to hear, but as far as I know, he's on a plane to B.C. Things are up in the air. Sorry I can't help you much," said Faulkner.
Ossie Sheddy, the president of the board of directors of the Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association — of which Jeffrey is a member of the board, and of which the Anchor is a member paper — wouldn't say if the association is investigating the matter, and asked not to be quoted.
"I don't give quotes for fear of being misquoted," he said. When pressed by The Telegram about why the president of the association wouldn't say if it plans to investigate — and whether his refusal to be interviewed suggests a lack of confidence in newspaper reporting — Sheddy, the editor and publisher of the Drumheller Mail, said, "I'm not saying anything more because of what I had just told you. I can't say anything about newspaper reporting or confidence in it. I can only say I have confidence in my newspaper reporting, not about anybody else's."
The Alberta Press Council, however, said the complaint it received from a U.S.-based writer — among those Jeffrey is accused of plagiarizing — will be given to its executive council, which will decide Thursday if it will adjudicate. The council is an independent organization funded by member newspapers, including some Alberta dailies as well as the Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association.

Cuyler, N.Y. -- An unlicensed teenaged driver led Cortland County sheriff's deputies on a chase Friday before she crashed her car in the Madison County village of DeRuyter, authorities said.
Cassondra A. Brown, 19, of 1244 Carpenter Road in Georgetown, had her 14-year-old sister in her car as she sped north on Route 13 in the town of Cuyler to escape law enforcement, the Cortland County sheriff's office said in a news release today.
Brown turned onto South Hill Road, where she lost control of the car and hit an embankment and telephone pole. Brown hurt her neck in the crash and was taken to Upstate University Hospital. Her 14-year-old sister was uninjured.
Brown now faces the following charges: endangering the welfare of a child, unlawful fleeing of a police officer in a motor vehicle, speeding in a zone, reckless driving, aggravated unlicensed operator in the third degree, unlicensed operator, failure to comply with a lawful order and driving on the shoulder.
Brown fled after deputies tried pulling her over for a traffic stop, the sheriff's office said. She was in a blue Toyota registered to a rental company in Oklahoma.

WASHINGTON, April 20—After not adopting a budget resolution since April 29, 2009—1,087 days ago—the Senate's Democrat majority appeared set this week to at least hold a mark-up in the Budget Committee; that is, debate and amend the measure before voting whether or not to send it to the full Senate. At the last minute, however, the Senate's Democrat leadership and Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad cancelled the mark-up. Senators were instead only permitted to offer opening statements; no amendments were considered and no votes were cast.
Every Republican Senator attended the committee meeting to urge the chamber's Democrat Majority leadership to abandon its resistance to taking up a budget plan.

By ROBERT SEABORN
Special to the Press-Register
"At the end of the day, shouldn't we be focused on what is best for our kids?"
That was my response when asked recently about my position on a city-vs.-county school system for Fairhope. We can debate a lot of side issues when we are dealing with education, but at the core, once we determine the standard we want to pursue for our children, we need to determine the best way possible to give them the opportunity to achieve that standard.
This is not a new topic for me. When my family moved to Fairhope in 1996, we came from a city-run school system in Homewood and paid significantly higher taxes to have our kids go there.
Since moving to south Alabama, both our children have spent their entire time in the Fairhope public schools. Our experience has been good, but it's been obvious to us that those things which were considered standard curriculum in our old school are considered enrichment here.
I am not attacking our school system in Baldwin County, as I have great respect for the teachers and administrators I know. I am, however, suggesting that we look at the public school model that has consistently achieved superior results in our state.
Year after year the children in our state with the highest levels of achievement in public schools, by all measures, have come from Auburn, Mountain Brook, Vestavia, Madison City, Homewood, Hoover and other city systems. They have two things in common: adequate funding and local community ownership.
While the Baldwin County teachers, administrators and board have worked hard to balance the needs of all children of Baldwin County, low funding and differing community priorities in our massive system have made pursuing a standard of excellence all but impossible.
Circumstances have forced them to accept a standard of good, and it has become the enemy of great.
The Fairhope community has a long history of supporting its area schools. The Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation (patterned after a foundation model created in Mountain Brook) has been instrumental in providing enrichment opportunities to our children.
From a simple idea, our community has provided private funding for hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, the Pelican's Nest science lab and the black box theater on the Fairhope High campus, in addition to the approximately $2 million in combined endowments managed by FEEF.
If anyone doubts our community's willingness to fund educational excellence, I would submit these facts as evidence to the contrary.
Today, the issue of Fairhope (or Satsuma or Chickasaw) having its own system seems to have little to do with what is best for kids and much more about who wants control.
As I write this, our Legislature is preparing to act on a new bill, HB 140/183. This bill would increase the minimum size of cities that can form their own systems. It also would give final approval authority to the State Department of Education, effectively stripping the right of the citizens of any community to decide yes or no on the issue of a city school.
Since city schools have consistently been the highest in student achievement, it can only be that the sponsoring legislators in north Alabama feel we aren't capable of determining what is best for our children, even if we choose to pay for it.
If Fairhope is capable of staffing and running its own city government, staffing and running its own utility company and staffing and running its own police department, I am confident we should have the right to decide whether we want to provide for our children's education the best way we can.
Whether Fairhope does or does not choose to form its own school system is really not the whole issue in front of us. What we are going to tell our kids 12 years from now is the issue.
Are we so afraid of potential cost, or re-election, or a hundred other small-minded things that we choose not to even look at the possibility of being better than we are now? Of going from good to great?
I don't want my kids to say, "Dad, why didn't you speak up when I couldn't?" If we refuse to respond to this crisis, a generation of children will pay the price for our unwillingness to act.
Now is the time we need the courage, vision and leadership to do what is best for our children.

SPRINGFIELD — Law enforcement officials took a man into custody following an incident involving a baby and a gun in the Brightwood section of the city's North End Tuesday evening.
Massachusetts State Police, responding to a gun call shortly before 8 p.m., encountered 24-year-old Edwin Perez on the porch of a Plainfield Street home with an infant in his lap. As they approached, Perez allegedly threw the baby to the ground and ran from officers, who captured him after a brief foot chase and struggle.
Springfield and state police officials contacted Wednesday morning by The Republican were unable to provide any information about the case. However, CBS 3, media partner of The Republican and MassLive, reports that troopers found a loaded .9mm Smith & Wesson handgun on Perez after wrestling him to the ground. The gun was reported stolen in Hartford, the TV station reports.
The infant was treated for minor injuries at Mercy Medical Center and later released. Police said Perez may face additional charges for assaulting the baby, CBS 3 reports. The relationship between Perez and the baby was unclear.
Springfield police Capt. Cheryl Clapprood said she had no information about the arrest, including whether any Springfield officers participated. A trooper at the Springfield barracks said he had heard about the matter, which preceded his shift, but he had no additional information.
22News reports that Perez is accused of pulling a gun on officers, but law enforcement officials were unable to immediately verify that information. The arrest was the result of a joint police unit comprised of local, state and federal officers, according to ABC 40.

In the world of sports there is no shortage of power couples, dynamic broadcasting duos and entertaining partners in crime. Actually, there is a severe shortage of likable broadcasting duos across all sports and networks—but there are plenty of the other two.
Unfortunately, for every David Nelson and Kelsi Reich, there's a Hank Baskett and Kendra Wilkinson. For every Brady and Welker, there's a T.Ocho. And for every tolerable pair of broadcasters, there's 10 more Joe Buck plus one teams out there.
These are the the partners, the teammates and the BFF's that make us groan, cringe, roll our eyes or just mute the TV on Sunday afternoons.
These are 20 of the most annoying pairs in sports.

In digital cameras, ISO speed is a number that indicates sensitivity to CCD or CMOS light. You might have heard of CCD and CMOS before – they are basically the digital equivalent of film in normal film cameras. ISO values come in numbers such as 100 and 400. A higher (larger) value means that the camera is sensitive to light, letting you shoot in dark environments, capture quickly-moving subjects, and also prevent blurring caused by hand movement. However, higher values also generate more noise and reduce image quality. With a lower (smaller) ISO value, on the other hand, you probably won't be able to get good results in dark settings, but your images will be more refined and detailed.
It might be easier to understand these differences by looking at some examples. Let's compare.
How Different ISO Values Affect an Image
Ricoh digital cameras can be configured to 8 different ISO speed levels: ISO80 (GR DIGITAL III and GX200: ISO64), 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, AUTO, and AUTO-HI. Let's look at a few examples of photos taken at ISO80, 200, and 800.
*May vary according to model. Refer to your camera's manual for more information.
You'll notice that a lower ISO value slows down the shutter speed, thus making the image quality more refined and detailed, while increasing the ISO value speeds up the shutter speed and creates a grainier look. The graphic below shows the advantages and disadvantages of low and high ISO values.
You don't really need to spend racking your brain trying to understand all this complicated information, though – usually, all you have to do is leave ISO in the AUTO setting, and the camera will automatically adjust to the environment and select the optimal value. When you're shooting in a dark setting, the AUTO-HI (high-sensitivity setting)* is a big help, as it automatically shifts the value to the appropriate level. So, when do you need to set and change the ISO value manually? Let's find out.
Using ISO
With ISO in the AUTO setting, the camera will automatically select the best ISO value. When you want to take higher-level pictures, though, we recommend choosing the ISO manually.
If you make the ISO lower, you'll be able to take more finely-textured pictures – when you just want to get refined image quality, it's a great idea. Lowering the ISO value also slows down shutter speed, so it's best to use a tripod to prevent blurring caused by hand movement.
Another good time to lower the ISO is when taking pictures of fireworks in the summer. "Wait," you might be thinking, "even though it's dark?" Actually, by lowering the ISO and deliberately making the shutter speed slower*, you can capture the trails of light that fireworks leave behind, like the ones in picture 2. The important thing to remember is that a slow shutter speed is not always a bad thing – just remember to have your tripod handy. On the other hand, setting the ISO to a higher value makes it easier to take photos of quickly-moving subjects in bright settings, like picture 3 illustrates. If you tried to take this photo with ISO in the AUTO setting, the subject would be blurry.
*When you want to make the shutter speed slower than a certain level, select from long exposure settings.

Android Police appears to be the first to discover the vulnerability. Interestingly, it appears that the vulnerability is not present in the Verizon version that Skype produced for that carrier, just in the normal app in the Android Market.
For this to be exploited, however, a user has to download a malicious app. Thus, it's more important than ever that users be careful what apps they download, and perhaps make sure they install a security app on their device, as well.
Skype is working on a fix for the vulnerability. You can watch a video of the exploit below.

Get The Answer Now To The Question, Is Free ADT Monitored Security System Really Free?
Have you heard of a way that you can get an ADT monitored security system for free? Many people have, but they don't really know whether it is true or not. This is why you need to find the answer to the question, is free ADT monitored security system really free? This article is going to tell you some important information about this type of offer that will help you understand what it means.
The first thing that you need to understand is that you can get an ADT monitored system for free, but that is only for the system. In other words, you will receive a home security system that is valued at around $850, but there will be another fee involved before you can get this system. So, yes the security systems are free, but only after you have met a few other obligations.
One of the obligations that you need to meet is the $99 installation fee for this free security system. In other words, you can get the system for free if you agree to pay the money for a technician to come to your home and install it for you. Many people like to install the systems themselves, but with this free security system, you won't be able to do that. This may be a big drawback for some people, but other people will think it is a fair deal. So, you will have to make up your own mind about this.

Hey, just because they're porn stars doesn't mean they don't have feelings.
If you write mean tweets about Paddy O'Brian, Dirk Caber, and Colby Keller, there's a chance those boys might actually see them, as evidenced by a new video from Men.com.
The video features some of our favorite naked eye-candies scrolling through Twitter to read some awfully harsh reviews.
Is this a blatant rip-off of the Jimmy Kimmel video in which celebrities read mean tweets about themselves? Yes, yes it is. Normally we'd raise an eyebrow at such a shameless re-use of someone else's schtick, but we're willing to allow it this time because, hey, porn stars!
Here are some of our favorites, along with pics of a few of the fellas. Our thanks to Men.com and their models for being such good sports. And an extra-big thanks to the Twitter users who write mean remarks about naked strangers, for making such important contributions to western civilization.
"Tom Faulk, you're really living up to your hair color."
"Paddy is only 28?? He looks like he ages 5 years every time he takes a cock."
"I don't know if I want to fuck Jimmy Fanz or take him to a homeless shelter."
"Dirk Caber is the porn version of Papa Smurf."
"Colby Keller, anyone who told you to be yourself couldn't have given you worse advice."
Awww, I love all these guys! Especially Paddy. I think he is beautiful!
@TinoTurner: Thanks for that burst of morning sunshine.
gay blogs are repeatedly turnning to gay pornstars for some kind of "gay street cred" but the modern day gay porn performer is just not interesting enough to pull off anything really entertaining. And,
doesn't having performers read nasty comments encourage people to leave nasty comments?
Tom Faulk looked very different when he first appeared on the gay porn scene at collegedudes, so the comments about him, like "he's living up to his hair color", may have applied more to the skinny surfer dude version of Faulk.
Funny how you claim that the porn performers aren't interesting to be entertaining……right before you comment on Tom Faulk and respond to the comment he read.
I will gladly volunteer to be Jimmy Fanz homeless shelter! And while Colby Keller does look a little scraggly lately, he is one hot mutherf**ker!
I want to be cynical about all of this but there is something endearing about porn stars just being funny.
There are a lot of hypocrite haters who will trash porn stars and belittle them but then they go and watch porn. I think its pathetic if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything.
@seaguy: Agreed.
If the whole world was doing porn we wouldn't have anything left to fight about.
Why is it that everyone who makes a porn movie considered "a star"?
@ho: The whole world is doing porn – we're just not filming it and sharing it with strangers.
@MarionPaige: Is there a second of the day you don't spend looking at useless shite online?
Why are people hating so much on this stars, porn is full guys to look at if you don't like one there are others to pick from. For guys to go out of their way and put someone down is so annoying. I think its cool that these guys were like okay what ever I am still going to live my life. Why is it that we are suppose to be a community but we feel the need to put people down.
The Papa Smurf one made me laugh. Honestly, that is a designation older gay men should be proud of. Papa Smurf was a wise&benevolent protector/leader to a group of silly little blue twinks
@DarkZephyr: You do realize Paddy is a raging homophobe right?
I seriously love Dirk, he is by far my favorite porn star and he can be my school teacher any day! Paddy however is his typical douche taskstic self and if he offend that people don't think he is straight or that he looks a lot older then 28 he should A stop fucking men for money and B lay of the booze and drugs.
Oh and as far as the way he talks I imagine that he is the english version of a hillbilly.
Are these fake? Why don't they cite the user who tweeted them? And why are they all perfectly punctuated? And…is Paddy really 28??? He looks 33-35.
Okay, I think I'm finally "getting" Colby Keller.
The strain and exaggeration in the accent & mannerisms of that Paddy geezer pings full-on HOMOGAY to me. Sexy cringe innit.
Apparently, some people take porn waaaaaaay too seriously.
You must be joking.
@topshelf: About what? Paddy being a homophobe? I'm not.
Just relax about this whole thing. These guys just make porn. They are not role models. Don't expect pornstars to do amazing things for humanity.
Dirk can be my papa smurf ANY day. Jimmy can be our houseboy. I used to like Colby, but now I get a bit annoyed by him. Could be the whole communist thing.

The clock is ticking on the David Ortiz negotiations, which will change if he becomes a free agent at midnight Friday.
Latest reports are that the Red Sox and Ortiz are still trying to wrap up a deal before that happens.
The Boston Herald reported a deal was "in the works,'' with no guarantee it would be done before the deadline. If midnight Friday arrives with no deal, Ortiz could negotiate with other teams.
Much as he has said he wants to stay in Boston, he could be expected to explore other offers once Boston's exclusive negotiating window is closed. There would be risk in that from both sides.
From the standpoint of the club, even one premium offer from the outside would ratchet up the cost of keeping the last player left from both the 2004 and 2007 world champions, and still their best home run threat.
From Ortiz' standpoint, what if no one else wants him? Interest last year was restricted to Baltimore and Toronto, neither of which seemed willing to stake a fortune on an aging designated hitter.
That would leave to come back to the Red Sox, who could then more or less dictate their own terms. That might sound like a solution, but it would hardly be ideal.
It could easily cause Ortiz to react as bitterly as he did last year, when he felt a one-year contract was a sign of disrespect. The deal was for $14.575 million, just about what Ortiz wants per year in his next contract.
The prospect of a sensitive superstar, returning to Boston in a sour mood because he felt he had a bad deal shoved down his throat, does not bode well for a team that wants to put two years of turmoil behind it. That will be a lot easier if a sunnier, productive David Ortiz is its marquee face.
Ortiz' 2012 season proved Ortiz still had a lot of pop in his bat. He hit 23 home runs with 60 RBIs, and his .318 average was second best of his career.
It also proved aging athletes come with an injury risk. Ortiz missed 71 of the last 72 games with an Achilles strain.
That has not scared off the Red Sox, but it might have lowered their price. It also gave other teams something to think about.
The Red Sox are said to be OK with the two-year length, but not the $25 million to $30 million Ortiz is seeking. Both sides have been amicable and optimistic throughout these talks, but the absence of a deal indicates the money gap is indeed a formidable sticking point.
Reports on the negotiations have not targeted the Red Sox offer.
The Herald report takes a different approach from a Boston.com story that called the sides "not very close,'' but it does not really contradict the first story.
It does put a more positive spin on the likelihood of a deal at some point. The good news for Red Sox fans is that by all accounts, the negotiations remain positive with a goal of solution, as opposed to acrimony developing because they are stalled.
The Red Sox have made it a point, several times, to let the world know that Ortiz is wanted. The player has changed his own rhetoric to say he wants nothing more than to wear the Boston uniform for the rest of his career.
That does not guarantee a deal, but it will probably be of great help in getting one done.
If Ortiz becomes a free agent, the Red Sox are expected to file a qualifying offer of $13.3 million for one year. That would put them in line for a draft pick if he signs with another team.
Outfielder Cody Ross, another player the Red Sox have shown interest in retaining, seems likely to become a free agent. The Atlanta Braves are reportedly interested, and other teams could follow suit.

A promised $90,000 donation has sparked plans for more Honor Flights full of veterans to see the memorials in Washington, D.C.
Bill Williams, of Patriotic Productions in Omaha, told the Lincoln Journal Star that he wants to charter two planes and fly more than 300 veterans to the nation's capital so they can see the Korean and other memorials. He'd organized a flight last week that took more than 130 veterans from Nebraska to Washington.
Williams says he'd been thinking of ways to raise money for one more Honor Flight. When an Omaha resident called with a promise of $90,000, Williams expanded his plans to include two planes. He says he's calling the effort Operation Airlift.
He says the donation will get him started, but he'll need more help.

Q: The previous owners of our home burned trash for many years in a large portion of the yard. Can anything be grown here? Do the coal and ash remains need to be removed? Help!
A: There could be some contamination there since you can't be sure what all was burned over the years. I wouldn't plant a vegetable garden right away in a burned area because it's possible roots could take up trace amounts of toxins from who knows what… plastics? pressure-treated lumber? old pesticide containers? oil-based ink on magazines?
A small amount of ash worked into the top foot of the soil probably isn't going to be enough to harm ornamental plant growth, though. For instance, if you tilled less than an inch of ash into the top foot of soil, most plants or lawn grass would grow fine. I'd stick with ornamentals and do edibles in another part of the yard uphill from the burn areas.
A main concern for any plant is a soil pH level so high (overly alkaline) that it prevents plants from taking up nutrients. Small amounts can be diluted enough that that shouldn't happen.
Ashes from wood can actually be a good source of nutrients when added in small amounts. Those are rich in potassium and calcium.

I'm married and have been with my husband Danny for over 30 years. I'm a mom to a thirty-something year old son. He is living in Minnesota and is married a woman born, raised and schooled in Italy.
I work full time in service to the State of Kentucky and every spare moment when I'm on a break or am at home, I'm designing, crocheting and knitting. I got bit by the yarn bug at the age 12 as I watched my mother crochet ponchos back in the hippie days for my sister and myself. I remember being about 14 in the early 70's and taking my babysitting money and walking about 4 miles into town to the five and dime store where I bought a crochet book, hook and a skein of yarn. I secretly taught myself to make a simple hat from a pattern but I didn't like something about the finished hat; I modified the pattern and to this day I remember the modified pattern but not the original pattern. The modified pattern is on my blog and is called "Brain Dead Easy Short Row Hat". I dabbled a bit in the 80's crocheting pineapple doilies and table cloths and once again had to re-teach myself how to crochet. Twenty years later in 2008 when I watched my niece knit a hat, I got bit by the yarn bug and it got me back in the mood to try again to learn how to crochet and knit. I re-taught myself again how to crochet and the rest is history. I thought I'd offer my first pattern out on the Internet and once I saw the interest, I developed more patterns and it just took off.
I just like to do things "simple" and lighter shades of yarn as my eyes are to bad for dark colors of yarn. I hate complicated . I just like simple, easy, blankets, hats and scarves.
Fun Fact About Me:
When I watch tv, I air-type all of the words spoken on tv to increase my typing speed. I even hit the imaginary correction/backup button when I make an error. Sometimes for fun while watching tv, I'll air-type with my fingers and also with my toes.

Following information is a guideline for British Nationals and members of the European community. If you will be having a Registry wedding at the Gurdwara Sahib the bride and groom need to go their local registry offices and complete a notice of marriage. They will need passports for proof of identity, decree absolute if in a previous marriage, certificate for any change of name, utility bill or drivers licence for proof of address. The individuals need to state the name and address of the place where they intend to get married. After 16 days the individuals need to go back to the registry office and each collect a blue certificate. These original blue certificates need to be given to Gurbir Parmar - senior registrar. He will then organise a registrar to carry out the ceremony.
Three weeks before the wedding the appointed wedding coordinator from Gurdwara will contact you and arrange a meeting. During this meeting the coordinator will go through the procedure, costs and answer any questions that you may have.

The process of rearranging Warren County's voting districts to reflect population changes should be cut and dried, but it's starting to look like a third rail of politics. The law calls for precincts to be reconfigured if their two-year turnout numbers go above 750 or drop below 250. Recent totals indicate the county should have eliminated 32 districts, according to two county residents who are calling for changes. The freeholders twice invited Election Administrator William Duffy and election board Chairwoman Gloria Decker to come to a meeting to talk about this process; twice they failed to appear. The first invitation occurred just as Hurricane Sandy arrived, but the freeholders, after a second snub, decided this week to extend a third request. So what's the problem? The lack of cooperation here only feeds a public perception that something's amiss.
We've come to expect no less from the Westboro Baptist Church — the people from Kansas who picket churches and protest at the funerals of soldiers. They're at it again, threatening to show up and demonstrate this weekend at churches in Allentown and South Whitehall Township, in advance of a trip to President Obama's inauguration on Monday. Old news. The counter-protests usually dwarf the instigators. This outfit — which labeled its local targets as "whorehouses masquerading as churches" in a press release — only serves to remind us that our society makes room for public expression of the most extreme opinions.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett could have asked the Legislature for its advice and consent on privatizing the state lottery. That way, the decision could have been vetted publicly and won broad-based support — or perhaps been sent back to the drawing board. Instead, the governor negotiated a deal in secret with the firm that runs the United Kingdom's national lottery, sent an email to state lottery workers who now face layoffs, and signed off on the deal. It still faces legal reviews by the attorney general, a possible challenge from the auditor general and a lawsuit by the union representing lottery workers. Still, it's good to be the king.
People might say that police have more pressing things to do than go after jaywalkers. Yet a campaign initiated at the beginning of the school year by Phillipsburg police — reminding students to use crosswalks as they go to and from school — is designed to keep kids out of harm's way and to keep them from distracting drivers. For the past several months police have been warning pedestrians to keep to the crosswalks and not walk in the street unnecessarily. This week they upped the ante, announcing that people walking outside of crosswalks will receive a summons for jaywalking and face a fine of $54. That's much cheaper than a visit to the emergency room.
Bob Evans has turned his interest in genealogy into a wider historical undertaking at the Belvidere branch of the Warren County Library. For several hours a week he goes through old issues of the Belvidere Apollo newspaper on microfilm. He documents obituaries and death notices, listing names, dates of death and page number, which another person enters into a searchable computer file. So far Evans, a retired letter carrier, has assembled six volumes of the deceased, starting at 1826. He's now up to 1914. His work is providing a resource for historians and people documenting their family trees.

Rumors that the Carroll Township, York County, drive-in will close permanently at the end of this season are unfounded, a member of the Haar family said.
They apparently are based on a Facebook posting that the drive-in can't afford a new digital projection system that costs at least $70,000.
Vickie Hardy, a granddaughter of founder Vance Haar, said the business eventually will need the digital system because films, particularly first-run movies, won't be available for the current projection system.
But she that said the drive-in, celebrating its 60th season, will be open this year and that the family intends to open as usual next season.
The Facebook posting mentioned a "Save the Drive in Night" on Thursday. That is part of a series of special movie nights planned for the week of July Fourth. The drive-in will be open Tuesday through Sunday nights.
Hardy said all the proceeds Thursday will be earmarked for the Save the Drive-in Fund.

All that extra homework paid off.
Augustus had four catches -- all for touchdowns -- as the Lakers hammered Northern Michigan 42-7 on Saturday afternoon before a crowd of 3,817 at the Superior Dome.
Augustus had touchdown receptions of 4, 18, 42 and 5 yards to become the first Laker with four in a game since David Kircus in the 2002 playoffs.
"Jovonne played fantastic today. We knew he could do it, he does it in practice every day," Grand Valley State quarterback Heath Parling said. "He works hard, he comes to practice prepared and ready to go and it was just a matter of time before he did it on Saturday.
"We know when you've got a guy like that, you've got to get him some touches."
The 6-foot-4 Augustus, who had four touchdowns heading into the game, led the Lakers with nine last season.
"I had a good approach on execution, but all 55 players had a part in winning that game," Augustus said. "D-line, DBs, O-line, the quarterbacks and receivers. We all just executed today and had a good game."
After losing the turnover battle early this season, the Lakers (3-3, 2-3 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) had four interceptions, recovered a fumble and blocked a field goal. The Lakers' offense, meanwhile, didn't turn the ball over once.
"Those turnovers that we've been having problems with, that flipped in our favor, and it wasn't just by coincidence," Grand Valley State coach Matt Mitchell said. "Our offense took care of the football and we were kind of opportunistic on defense."
Grand Valley State safety Erik Thompson picked off two passes, including one fourth-down pass at the 5-yard line and that he tight-roped down the sideline 95 yards for a touchdown and a 35-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. It was the fifth-longest return in school history.
"I had a few linemen in front of me, I gave a hesitation move to one and the others I just ran past," Thompson said. "It's a big relief. A huge relief. But we still need to keep making plays."
Parling threw three touchdown passes to stake the Lakers to an early 21-0 lead.
On the Lakers' first drive, Parling found a wide-open Augustus for a 4-yard touchdown pass. The pair connected again on the second drive for an 18-yard score.
On the first play of the second quarter, Parling hit Greg Gay in the back of the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown pass, a drive that was set up by Charles Hill's recovery of a fumbled punt.
Parling also made a nice pump fake to Charles Johnson that opened up Augustus for a 42-yard TD early in the third quarter that made it 28-7.
Parling finished 11-for-15 for 171 yards and five touchdowns. It's the second week in a row he has had five TD passes.
"I'm feeling comfortable out there. To be honest, I felt comfortable out there the Findlay game (when he threw three interceptions in a 26-20 loss), I was just making poor decisions," Parling said. "I feel like I'm managing the offense, and that's what they asked me to do."
Northern Michigan (3-3, 2-3 GLIAC) needed a little luck to score its only touchdown.
Grand Valley State safety Zach Breen, who led the Lakers with nine tackles in his first game since being suspended by the NCAA for five games, blocked kicker Rockne Belmonte's 29-yard field goal attempt, but the ball ended up in the hands of Northern Michigan's Anthony Echols, who ran for a first down. Two plays later, Prince Young scored on a 1-yard plunge to make it 21-7.
Northern Michigan threatened again just before halftime, but Lakers cornerback Kenny Veal killed the drive with an interception at the 1-yard line. Reggie Williams also had an interception.
Running back Hersey Jackson missed the game with a stinger injury, but the Lakers still rushed for 201 yards, led by Norman Shuford with 88 and Michael Ratay with 68.
"I told the team that was a complete team win," Mitchell said. "That's a good opponent. You've got both sides of the ball and special teams playing better. That's kind of been the formula here in the past. We haven't lived up to that, and hopefully we're making strides toward that."
Grand Valley State has won its past two games by a combined score of 112-14 after losing three in a row.
"That three-game losing skid, it was tough in the locker room," Mitchell said. "But I kept saying that to the people on the outside that the kids we have in our locker room are resilient. They kept showing up to work."

Corporate Prayer: Lord of Bounty
Each week, the people of The Painted Door gather around the table of Jesus to hear Gospel proclamation, join in Gospel song and foster Gospel community. As part of that gathering, we engage in reading together a confession of our sin and God's grace.
You empty the sea to rescue your people
and here we complain of how thirsty we are.
You bring water from stone with the crack of a staff
but we're starving and we need some food right away.
You rain down the angels' own bread for our hunger
but the meat back in Egypt seemed better somehow.
The rich and hardy feast you set for us is far to much for our weak palettes.
Forgive us our appetites, Lord. We crave bitter and bland, even garbage and poison.
Like solitude, leisure, self-pity, esteem, one more laugh,
one more game, flirting eyes, peace at home.
Lingering glances, self-doubt, being right, capacity, safety, control, independence.
But your table is Life and Laboring Love, your breed is your very own self.
Served in excruciating Joy, you spared no expense.
Grow our stomachs, Lord, for supper is at hand, and we shall feast for a very long time indeed.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Graham & Co. will handle leasing for the 18-story Plaza Birmingham at 417 20th St. North.
Approximately 100,000 square feet remains in the 217,000-square-foot building that was once home to Regions Financial Corp. and is now more than half leased to Viva Health, which is headquartered in the top nine floors and a portion of the lobby.
Sam Carroll and Mike Lawley of Graham & Co.'s office group are the agents that will handle the leasing.
Carroll said any company with a desire to be at the heart of the central business district should be attracted to the building.
"Any company that wants to be at the corner of Main and Main should be interested in the space," Carroll said. "There are some street-level signage opportunities and plenty of parking available in the city deck."
The city owns a 1,300-space deck adjacent to the building.
In addition to the office space from the second through the ninth floors, Graham & Co. is handling the leasing of the space remaining in the ground and garden levels. Carroll said there are some retail and restaurant opportunities for that space.
Carroll said the hope is a single user will take the remaining office space, but it can be split up for multiple tenants.
Flint, Mich.-based West Second Street Associates bought the building in 2011 after plans to convert it into a luxury hotel fell through. The building is one of the most prominent buildings along with other office towers in the blocks created by the intersection of Fifth Avenue North and 20th Street.

Devils D Eric Gelinas needs crutches, but says foot isn't broken
Devils rookie defenseman Eric Gelinas needed crutches to make his way through the team's locker room after tonight's 3-0 win in Philadelphia after taking a Scott Hartnell shot off his left foot with 9:07 remaining.
Gelinas, 22, took some time to hobble off the ice and immediately went to the locker room. He said he had an X-ray on his left foot, which was wrapped after the game, and "it's not broken."
Still, that Gelinas needed crutches doesn't bode well for him playing Friday night in Toronto. Defenseman Mark Fayne was a healthy scratch tonight, so he would likely slot into the lineup in Gelinas' place Friday.
The Devils are already missing defenseman Bryce Salvador because of a stress fracture in his foot he sustained when he blocked a shot by Columbus' Jack Johnson on Oct. 22.
Rookie defenseman Jon Merrill is also out for at least a few more days because of facial lacerations he sustained when he was tripped into the boards 4:49 into Sunday's 4-0 loss in Minnesota.
Gelinas has a goal and two assists, including one tonight, in six games since being called up from Albany. Adam Henrique deflected in Gelinas' left point slap shot 1:57 into tonight's game to give the Devils a 1-0 lead.
That was a big goal for the Devils after they were shut out the previous two games. The Devils have seen the difference Gelinas has made since he joined the team.
"You try to get on the board as quickly as possible, especially after the last few games, we haven't scored," said goaltender Martin Brodeur, who made 22 saves in his 122nd career shutout. "It's nice when [Gelinas] makes such a big difference with a shot. He's not scared to tee it up and go, and things like that will happen. It's happening, a lot, in games, but more and more, it's going to happen. It was a nice goal."

Two debris-filled shallow water areas along the Muskegon Lake shoreline might get a much-needed cleanup over the next few years, courtesy of Consumers Energy and the West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission.
The goal is to transform the Grand Trunk boat launch in Muskegon's Lakeside neighborhood, and the tiny "Scrap Bay" inlet between Heritage Landing and the LaFarge Corporation, from aquatic eyesores into the clean shoreline habitats they were meant to be.
Private contractors would be hired at both sites to remove debris that has settled into the shallow water lake-bottom sediment over the years, including metal barrels, metal cable, broken concrete, pieces of wood, foundry slag, metal scraps and miscellaneous debris, said Kathy Evans, a project manager for WMSRDC.
Large amounts of fill material, protruding above the waterline, also will be removed from the Grand Trunk shoreline area.
Work at the Grand Trunk site could begin this fall and be completed next spring, while work at "Scrap Bay" near Heritage Landing probably would begin next spring and be completed the following fall.
The cleanup at both sites is expected to cost somewhere between $100,000 and $140,000, all of which is being paid for by Consumers Energy. WMSRDC will oversee both projects.
The plan must first gain the approval of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Evans said she expects that approval within a few weeks.
A less intensive cleanup effort at the Grand Trunk site has been ongoing for several years, using mostly volunteers, Evans said.
All sorts of odd materials have been pulled from the lake near the boat launch, including car parts and a refrigerator door, Evans said. But it's hard for volunteers to do a thorough job because it's very difficult to pull larger objects from the lake-bottom mud, she said.
"So much of this stuff is embedded in sediment, making it dangerous for people and less than hospitable for fish and wildlife," Evans said.
Evans and other officials have long wanted to clean up Scrap Bay, but the money was never available in the past, she said.
"It would be a wonderful bay if old barrels weren't sticking up out of the water," Evans said.
The cleanup projects would be the direct result of a pending seawall construction project at Consumers Energy's B.C. Cobb Plant at the eastern end of Muskegon Lake.
The seawall will be added to a channel that's used by ships to deliver coal to the plant.
The channel will take up 2.7 extra acres of surface water when the seawall is complete, according to the DEQ. And according to state law, Consumers must replace at least that much aquatic habitat somewhere else.
Officials at WMSRDC suggested the Grand Trunk boat launch and the Heritage Landing bay, because of the need for shallow-water habitat restoration at both sites and the public visibility of those sites.
Thousands of people use the Grand Trunk boat launch every year, and thousands gather at Heritage Landing for festivals and other events.
"Instead (of Consumers) digging a hole somewhere on their property and establishing wetland, we thought it would be better to restore the habitat along shoreline that's critical to the lake," Evans said. "We were looking for shallow water public access areas."
"It seems like an appropriate place for habitat to be restored," said Dennis McKee, spokesman for Consumer's Energy.
WMSRDC has been focusing on shallow-water shoreline habitat restoration on the lake for several years.
The southern shoreline of the lake, where many sawmills and industries were located in the past, has been shrunken by fill material and polluted by leftover industrial materials, making the shallow waters less suitable for aquatic life, Evans said.

Reaching the conclusion of whether or not a location is haunted can be like putting together a puzzle.
"It's a big puzzle," said Doug Hogate Jr., founder/CEO of Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society. "After an investigation, we have to take all the pieces, put them together and come up with a conclusion — if we can."
During a recent investigation at the Salem City Municipal Building on New Market Street in Salem, JUMPS gathered many pieces of the paranormal puzzle that they haven't quite fit together yet.
The building, which was built in 1928 and is filled with intricate, original woodwork including back-to-back fireplaces on the first floor, originally stood on Broadway and served as a bank.
"It was moved back and turned, and now sits on New Market Street," Hogate said.
Hogate was approached by someone who suggested JUMPS investigate the historic building, and so he wrote to the City Council and was approved.
Hogate said people have been having strange experiences in the building for several years.
"A lot of people are scared of the basement and get creeped out when they go down there, they see shadows, apparitions and hear voices," Hogate said. "The basic, typical haunted location claims."
After a quick walk through, the team began to set up and it didn't take long for the strange activity to begin.
While setting up in the basement with investigator Jim Worrell, I accompanied him to the back portion of the room to check out an old bank safe. Suddenly, he looked up and around himself, and then stated that someone had touched his left shoulder.
It was going to be an interesting night.
Once the entire building was bugged with cameras — infrared and full spectrum — audio recorders and motion detectors, Hogate and I sat at base to observe the five IR cameras that feed into the DVR system and monitor.
Almost immediately after I sat down, I noticed that something had moved from left to right across the camera in the attic, totally blocking out the screen for about two seconds.
Hogate didn't see it, so I jotted down the time when it happened.
Not two minutes later, the same thing happened with the camera on the second floor.
Was something traveling through the building, coming down to where we were set up to investigate us?
Later in the evening, all the team members came back to base between sweeps. As we were about to disperse and head to different parts of the building, the REM pod which was placed in the basement was activated.
A REM pod emits its own electromagnetic field around an antenna that protrudes from the top of the device. The antenna is surrounded by four colored lights. In order for the device to react, someone or something has to break that field.
Hogate, followed by a curious group of investigators (including myself), went to the top of the basement steps and hollered down.
"OK, if that's you making the REM pod go off, back away and make it stop for a minute," he requested.
The noise stopped.
"OK, now get close to it and make it go off again," he said.
The device almost immediately began beeping.
Just to make sure, Hogate grabbed a new battery before we all descended the stairs to investigate.
As soon as we arrived and surrounded the area, the REM pod was quiet. However, the investigator who was manning base called down to let us know that the IR camera that was positioned in the opposite corner from the REM pod had just shut off.
"It's totally off," she confirmed.
We checked wires and connections, and found there was no reason for the camera to be shut off.
"Can you just turn our camera back on, please?" Hogate asked.
And the camera came back on.
That wasn't the only strange incident we had that night involving a camera.
A full-spectrum camera that was set up on the second floor and plugged into a wall outlet suddenly lost all charge. However, when it was brought down to base, it had a full charge and more than 100 minutes left of recording time.
Hogate is in the process of reviewing audio evidence and has already found three EVPs (electronic voice phenomenon).
"Based on what we have so far and the experiences we had, I'm thinking there may be one residual energy associated with the bank, and there could be one intelligent spirit that roams the entire building, but I won't confirm that until all the evidence is reviewed," Hogate said. "It isn't necessarily anything evil."
Hogate said the full report and evidence captured will be available on the JUMPS website at jumps.2fear.com soon.

250th Birthday Celebration for Albert Gallatin at Friendship Hill National Historic Site
Contact: Kitty Seifert, 724-725-9190
POINT MARION, Pa., The National Park Service invites area residents and visitors to a Sestercentennial Birthday Celebration for Albert Gallatin Saturday, January 29 at 2 p.m. at his Fayette County home at Friendship Hill National Historic Site.
During the War of 1812, he was asked to broker a peace with Britain. His negotiation skills gained an acceptable treaty and led to diplomatic appointment in France and England. He remained active after retiring from the government. In 1831, at age seventy, he was named president of the new National Bank of New York. He served on the council to establish New York University that same year. His lifelong interest in American Indian language led to several books on the subject and the founding of the American Ethnological Society. In all Gallatin will serve this country for nearly fifty years in public service. Gallatin died in 1849 at age eighty-eight, but his legacy lives on.
This celebration is the kickoff to a year of special acknowledgment of Gallatin's contributions to making our fledgling nation stronger. Joining us in this effort are the members of the Friendship Hill Association, and park volunteers. Please come join in our celebration.
Friendship Hill National Historic Site is located on Rt. 166 between Point Marion, PA and New Geneva, PA. For further information contact the National Park Service at 724-725-9190 or visit Friendship Hill National Historic Site on the web at www.nps.gov/frhi.

SIGNAL Magazine Update: Event Highlights Warfighter Support
In August, the chapter hosted the 4th Annual Warfighter Support IT Day at the Sheraton Premiere in Vienna, Virginia. The event theme was Strengthening Warfighter Capabilities: The Art of the Possible. More than 600 attendees gained insights from a cross-section of military leaders from defense organizations, including the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the combatant commands and the military services. Dr. Ronald Jost, deputy assistant secretary of defense for command, control, communications, space and spectrum, opened the morning by discussing three areas: systems engineering, resource management and acquisition. Jost highlighted the importance of contractor-government program manager (PM) partnership being the key to overall program success. The contractor-government PM partnership helps identify the number one program risk, the top five risks and the top five issues that result in risk mitigation. The critical takeaway from his comments was the significant lack of true systems engineers in the work force identifying requirements and specifications to solve the department's most challenging issues.

Lt. Gen. Susan Lawrence, USA, chief information officer/G-6, U.S. Army, kicked off her presentation with The Network of 2020: Powering America's Army. Gen. Lawrence addressed a number of issues facing the Army and the Defense Department, including enterprise email, data center consolidation, joint SharePoint collaboration solution and others. However, she cited the big game changer as the common operating environment. Gen. Lawrence's closing remarks were a reminder for those providers of information technology and communications products, services and solutions that technology changes every two years so innovation is critical to assist the Defense Department in achieving its mission.

Henry Sienkiewicz, DISA chief information officer, covered the agency's Base Realignment and Closure process. To date, DISA has moved 3,900 personnel and $37 million worth of equipment. As for the DISA Campaign Plan, version two is up and the agency continues to make tremendous progress. Sienkiewicz updated the audience on enterprise email.

TO AVOID ABSOLUTELY!! Despite a confirmation email, no waiting at the apartment. I suggest you bring with you proof of payment because we are called a balance of € 675! Bills before they recalled their office and acknowledged the error. Despite what I had Anonce no plan or explanation of the area is provided (shops etc ...) The equipment is Spartan to non-existent (3 teaspoons for 4 people, 4 mismatched glasses, no can opener, nothing to dry the dishes), at my insistence they bought plates knives and pans. There is a washing machine but nothing to dry, they had to bring in a drying disaster. Cleaning is very rough when I have pointed out the cobwebs that framed the window, the manager has swept a backhand by replying that it was not serious! The bedding was in the Stalinist period, the satellite does not distribute chain. The only advantage of this property is its central location between the Old Town and Kazimierz. In short, a very bad value for money, we really felt like we do have!
Malgré un mail de confirmation, personne ne nous attendait à l'appartement. Je vous conseille de vous munir des justificatifs de paiement car on nous a réclamé un solde de 675 € ! Devant les factures, ils ont rappelé leur bureau et reconnu l'erreur. Malgré ce qu'on m'avait anoncé aucun plan ni explication sur le quartier n'est fourni(commerces etc...)L'équipement est spartiate, voire inexistant (3 petites cuillères pour 4 personnes, 4 verres dépareillés, pas d'ouvre-boite, rien pour essuyer la vaisselle), devant mon insistance ils ont racheté des assiettes des couteaux et des casseroles. Il existe un lave linge mais rien pour faire sécher, ils ont dû ramener un étendoir en catastrophe. Le ménage est très sommaire, quand j' ai fait remarquer les toiles d'araignée qui encadraient la fenêtre, le responsable les a balayées d'un revers de main en répondant que ce n'était pas grave! La literie remonte à la période stalinienne, le satellite ne distribue aucune chaîne. Le seul avantage de ce logement est sa position centrale entre Kazimierz et la vieille ville. Bref , un très mauvais rapport qualité-prix, nous avons vraiment eu l'impression de nous faire avoir!

Don´t rent this apartment!! The apartment (on Józefa Dietla 46A) is terrible!. When we arrived with our 2 teenage children, the apartment was dirty, the furniture and the mattresses was old and worn and with stains. The TV was very small and didn´t work. The remote was filthy. The WIFI didn´t work either. Also we hadn´t got the towels and bedding, we needed.
The neighborhood was unpleasant. It seemed as if the nightclub next door used the building as a brothel. The view was depressing also.
We stayed only for a couple of hours. When we contacted the Turnau office (where you also pick up the key), they were understanding and helped us to get another apartment just north of the old city on Krowoderska Street, which we were very satisfied with. A young man from the Turnau office arranged that we could move to the other apartment.
We had a nice stay in the other Apartment and Krakow is such a beautiful city :)
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
There was an apartment change because of pipe in the bathrooom broke down.
The reception was not good infomred about that which caused little problems.
Problems were solved after short time and the two new apartments were good.
Finally I can say it was good.
We visited Krakow at the end of June 2015 for one week. We were in four people (two adults and two kids).
The apartment is located at the last floor of a renovated building, with elevator. The area is good and quiet. In 5 minutes you can reach tram and bus stops. Food shops are located at walk distance. It is not located in the old city but you can reach the main square in 10 minutes by tram or 20 minutes by walk.
The apartment itself is modern, with new furniture, LCD TV, free wifi, full kitchen and dishwasher machine.
When we checked in, everything was well cleaned and in perfect working conditions.
The check-in was smooth. However, the agency which manages the apartment is not very close to it.
There is much to recommend this apartment.
Great location, aircondition.
Wifi did not work, second hand furniture, "no art inside" incompetent staff what did not know anything and could not help. no diningroom table. no instruction to the city or apartment. no windowa are facing the streets, feel a bit closed up.
Very sorry....this appartment is a ''mirage'' and nothing incroyable!!!!! Not as big as suggested on the photo...many mirrors make illusion. 3d floor without elevator....no curtain at the windows, so that you are awaken at 5 am and onwards....Internet and televison were not working upon arrival....a total desillusion
for such a price. I don't recommend this company TURNAU, owners of 3 or 4 appartments in this building. First experience with WIMDU, not really positive .
We enjoyed staying in this apartment which was calm and clean.
It is very close to the Old Market, everything reachable by foot.
Thanks and Good bye.

A 32-year-old Brooklyn man is suing his parents, claiming he wasn't loved enough and, because of their neglect, he is homeless and jobless.
According to NBC 4 New York, Bernard Bey filed a lawsuit in Brooklyn court earlier this month, citing mental anguish and his parents making him feel "unloved and beaten by the world."
"If you have kids, you're expected to love your children," Bey told NBC 4 New York. "You want the best for your children."
Bey is asking the court for more than $200,000 in damages. According to the report, he wants his parents to mortgage their family home and purchase two pizza franchises like Domino's.
"I don't feel like my parents love me, they aren't supportive, they're emotionally abusive, verbally abusive," the 32-year-old 1010 WINS. "We don't have a family bond that a family should have."
Bey's parents live in public housing and said they're not in a position to give up any money.

How does the solar corona vary within a solar cycle? We present time series observations assembled from the Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) full mission image database which reveal coronal structures in the inner corona that are not easily identifiable in individual images. We have generated limb synoptic maps prepared from SXT data taken over 8 years (1992 through 1999). This period covers the decay phase of solar cycle 22 and the rise phase of solar cycle 23. The SXT images have recently been re-calibrated using more precise techniques. We will address such topics as the variation of the polar coronal holes, the lifetimes of active regions and associated streamers, and the nature of polar plumes in the two phases of the solar cycle.
