As reported by nj.com, Rutgers and Maryland are finalizing plans to move from their respective conferences to the Big Ten. With the likelihood of Rutgers relocating increasing by the minute, let's take a look at how Rutgers recruiting could be affected by the upgrade.
The move would be a win-win for Rutgers. From the standpoint of credibility – put simply – the Big Ten is a much more reputable league. Instead of having to sell recruits on playing Temple and UConn on an annual basis, Rutgers would have a much easier time landing top prospects when name-dropping Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and Nebraska.
New recruiting inroads would also become viable to Rutgers. What was once considered "the state of Rutgers" would now encompass states like Michigan and Ohio, to name a few. Rutgers would now have the luxury of recruiting nationally as opposed to sticking to an outline of the northeast.
However, it goes both ways as schools in the conference would likely also take this opportunity to broaden their recruiting horizons, making New Jersey more of a target. Still - from an optimistic standpoint, at least - the positives would seem to outweigh the negatives in that regard.
For a long time now, there has been a natural dilemma for New Jersey-based recruits who strive to be champions. On one hand lied the loyalty to their home state. But on the other, they battled the notion of not likely receiving the opportunity to become champions at the highest level playing within the Big East conference. That would no longer be the case if Rutgers were to join the Big Ten.
Let's talk post season bowling: The Rose Bowl – making its debut in 1902 – is the oldest and most prestigious of the four major BCS bowls. The game positions the winner of the Big Ten Conference against the winner of the Pac 12 unless either plays in the national championship game; not a bad consolation prize for being a very good team, although not quite top 2 in the nation. There is a reason why it is nicknamed "The Granddaddy of them all."
And let's not forget the Big Ten championship game that precedes the Rose Bowl. Now, we are talking big-time football. What recruit wouldn't want to be a part of that?
Strength of schedule and overall perception would also prosper as selection to play in a national championship game would become all the more possible.
Sure there will be fans who miss the rivalries, but Rutgers would create new ones. Besides, due to all of the conference realignment, most of Rutgers' greatest rivalries either already have been or will have been dissolved. With West Virginia now a member of the Big XII and Syracuse as well as Pittsburgh already on their way to the ACC, it's tough to consider which games to be upset over losing.
From a competitive standpoint, the Big Ten is considered a huge step up perception-wise, while on-field, it might not be as significant as it may seem. There are many winnable games in the Big Ten for Rutgers, as they would appear to match up well even with some of the best teams the conference has to offer.
Rutgers has always been perceived as a Big Ten-type program in the way they play smash mouth football, offensively, and stingy, aggressive football, defensively. And even though the spread epidemic is threatening a hostile college football takeover - even of the Big Ten - the Scarlet Knights are a much better fit there than any of the other potential conferences. Rutgers just feels like a Big Ten school; always has.
And let's not overlook the biggest reason why the move will likely occur: It's a serious money grab. Obviously the money likely to be accumulated from the Big Ten network is nothing to scoff at. And finally, Rutgers could be looking at consistent sellouts of High Point Solution Stadium, justifying the huge 102-million dollar expansion project from three years ago. The one unknown is, if Rutgers fans remain inconsistent in support of home game attendance, then you could see said stadium stadium filled with colors other than scarlet. But even then, Rutgers could sell recruits on the fact that their stadium routinely sells out.
Now, let's not put the cart before the horse as Rutgers has yet to be formally invited into the Big Ten conference. But the thought of national recruits consistently considering the Scarlet Knights a viable option is everything that Rutgers fans have craved for what seems like an eternity.
Tim Pernetti and Greg Schiano - wherever they are - should stop and take a bow.

GULF SHORES, Alabama — Just after dredging one giant glob of oil from the Baldwin coast, another tar mat has been spotted nearby.
Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft plans to meet with BP officials next week to get a better understanding of how the oil company has mapped the tar mats, which the oil giant refers to as submerged oil mats, or SOMs for short.
At the end of last month, a 1,500-foot by 30-foot tar mat as much as 18 inches thick was discovered just west of Little Lagoon Pass.
Workers with a maintenance and monitoring crew removed the glob last week, according to BP.
After that work was finished, city officials said they were told that crews would start to remove the second tar mat about 700 yards to the east.
But that work was called off this week.
BP's Alabama spokesman Justin Saia released this statement regarding the second tar mat: "An additional submerged oil mat has been identified in this area. Equipment was pulled off of the beach for maintenance and safety concerns, while SCAT (a shoreline assessment team) delineates and marks the mat for recovery."
That's not exactly the way city officials like Brandan Franklin, who is helping coordinate plans for BP's beach cleanup efforts, understand the situation.
"I don't know if it has moved or it's covered up," Franklin said, "but they're having trouble relocating it."
Robert Craft: Oil still trapped in near-shore sand bar areas
With tarballs still washing up daily, Craft said he believes that much of the oil that did not wash onto the beach last summer was trapped in near-shore sand bar areas.
He wants to coordinate the cleanup effort with condominium owners so tourists are not disturbed by heavy equipment on the beach.
"But I can't do that if I don't know where the tar mats are and don't have some description of a schedule when they're going to try to dig it out," Craft said.
Of the latest tar mat that was discovered, Saia wrote in an email to the Press-Register: "The mat will be recovered when optimal weather and surf conditions are achieved. Crews will continue to patrol Alabama beaches and perform the necessary maintenance to address surface residue balls and patties."
Bret Webb, an engineering professor at the University of South Alabama who has studied Dauphin Island's Katrina Cut, said that it's not surprising to hear about tar mats being located one day, then covered by sand the next.
"The beach is a very dynamic place," he said. "Within this area of the active beach zone, things change from day to day."
Officials in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach have said they are concerned about what might happen if the tar lingering offshore is thrown onto land during a storm.
Orange Beach Coastal Resource Manager Phillip West said that federal hurricane plans are more geared toward evacuation than cleanup.
"We don't feel like we're any better off," West said, should storms bring more oil ashore. "What was alarming about it was that it has been developed without our input. I just guarantee that it would be severely lacking. If we're not involved, it's probably not worth the paper it's printed on."
But Webb said that strong storms tend to pull material offshore. While wave action could break the oil into tarballs, the heavier mats would remain in place, barring a "peculiar scenario."
Any oil that remains deep under the sand on the beach is more likely to be exposed.
"I don't know that the current fears of these things ending up on the beach during a storm are actually going to be realized," he said. "Of course a storm could prove me wrong."
No tar mats identified yet in Mississippi
In Mississippi, BP has not yet identified any tar mats off the barrier islands, according to another company spokesman Ray Melick.
"We're geared up and ready to go, just as soon as the park service feels like it's safe for the environments," Melick said.
A report of possible oil spotted near Deer Island this week turned out to be organic material, based on initial test results, Melick said.
George Crozier with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab believes the remaining tar poses no health risk, and he's not sure the tar mat removal is necessary. Plus, he added, cleanup on the beach is easier than cleanup offshore.
The longer a tar mat sits in the Gulf, the harder it becomes, weighing itself down to the seafloor, and the less risk it poses, he said.
"They're aesthetically toxic, but they're not a health issue," Crozier said. "They're a visual insult, but from a practical point of view, they're not going to hurt anybody. Probably the greatest threat: if you get it on your clothes you're in trouble."

PHILADELPHIA – Struggling reliever Jeremy Horst was placed on the disabled list Monday after complaining about elbow discomfort over the weekend as the Phillies activated starter John Lannan to make Monday night's start.
Horst is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA. He was rocked for four hits, two walks and three runs in an inning during Saturday's 10-5 loss to Colorado.
"He has a flexor pronator strain," said Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. "He felt something three days ago. It bothered him, we stayed away from him for a day or so, came back and pitched in Colorado and this morning wasn't feeling very good. It kind of balled up on him, felt kind of tight."
Asked if this injury could have been related to the left-hander's struggles this year, Amaro noted he had been healthy until recently.
"He just hasn't pitched well," said Amaro.
Amaro indicated the Phillies were close to seeing starting catcher Carlos Ruiz and second baseman Chase Utley return to the major leagues. Ruiz (hamstring) played two rehab games over the weekend and Utley (ribs) could start a rehab within the next "24-48 hours."
"Chooch did very, very well and we may move the timetable on him up a little bit," said Amaro. "I'm going to talk to him after today's workout, and see how he's feeling. We could move a little quicker on him."
Amaro said Utley would probably only need a couple rehab games to be ready to return to the lineup.Contact Bill Evans at 856-686-3636 or email@example.com

I took that to mean it was time to spend money. Already had the Ruger 10/22, so I ran to CTD (what a christmas crowd I ran into) and picked up an ASI dragonov stock and a muzzle break. Got some flat black model paint to paint my eagle mags with, and now I'm just waiting for my trigger upgrade springs to arrive. It shoots five into a nickle at 35yrds even with that Ruger trigger. I think I also need a rubber armoured scope to replace the Bushnell. The Wife took one look at it and stated that if she catches me useing her make-up to camo my face again she's filing for divorce. Now I have two black evil rifles, these things are like potato chips. Got my eyes set on a Rem 870 now, might as well add a black evil shotgun to the collection.

That's not to say Liam Neeson can do no wrong. While the man, late in his career, has managed to reach that Chuck Norris-esque status of butt-kicking immortality, he failed to keep the momentum going with the dull "Unknown."
The guy still needs a halfway decent plot, and if all it involves is his dummy teenage daughter getting kidnapped and thrown into a drugged-out prostitute ring again in a sequel where he murders another 100 bad guys, then I'm all for it.
His newest film "The Grey," now playing nationwide, has garnered some positive buzz heading into its release. Basically, the gist you'll hear from most moviegoers is that Liam Neeson ultimate-punches a bunch of wolves in the face out in the snow.
Do we need anymore information than that to plant our butts in theaters? Absolutely not. Works for me.
But beyond drop-kicking wolves, the movie is said to be a deft and intense tale of survival in the freezing Alaskan wilderness with "a surprising philosophical agenda" (per Rotten Tomatoes, where it currently has a 76 percent rating).
Consider that Neeson is more than just a baby boomer action star who suddenly found a niche late in his career on which he continues to capitalize. The man played Oskar Schindler. He's worked with the likes of Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Christopher Nolan, all with positive results.
He's that rare actor who cannot tell a lie on screen. Even when he doles out the corniest of corny lines ("Taken"), his delivery is earnest enough to earn those pistol-whips in subsequent scenes. The man managed to sell a line like "Release the kraken!" while wearing shiny armor on screen, folks.
Directed by Joe Carnahan (who made a great movie once called "Narc"), "The Grey" follows an oil drilling team after a plane crash who struggles to survive the elements, including nightly attacks from a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. Thanks to survivalist Neeson, some of them might make it out alive.
As a fan of other survival films like "The Edge" and "127 Hours," I'll buy that concept and sit through that struggle. Whether we get "Taken" or "Unknown" remains to be seen. All I know is Neeson always gets a chance.
Listen to me talk about why I'll see "The Grey" in the al.com Flick Fix podcast.

You have a number of options in getting Ironman Belt Set. First, you have size options starting from small that will fit a waistline of…
Many cyclists would like to bring more water as much as possible and that is what Ironman Belt Set can do. This is a small item and yet be a real ironman because of its features.

This is just what my gut says after seeing everyone's nationals (Europeans, etc) for the ladies:
1. Yuna
2. Adelina
3. Julia
4. Mao
5. Akiko
6. Ashley
This is just what my gut says after seeing everyone's nationals (Europeans, etc) for the ladies:
1. Yuna
2. Adelina
3. Julia
4. Mao
5. Akiko
6. Ashley
I think in Ladies..
1-Yuna Kim
2-Mao Asada
I am so confused for 3rd place,I can see so many people getting it Ashley Wagner,Julia Lipnitskaia,maybe another Japanese skater or someone really far out
Japan announced it's team roster:
Yuzuru Hanyu (SP), Tatsuki Machida (FS)
Mao Asada (SP), Akiko Suzuki (FS)
Narumi Takahashi & Ryuichi Kihara (SP+FS)
Cathy Reed & Chris Reed (SD+FD)
Murakami's chances of olympic medal are gone. Dai needs to kill it at the individual event to get his second medal. If Japan pulls up to bronze the freaking Reeds will be olympic medallists, oh well.
It could be a disadvantage for everyone not named Yuna. There's something to be said for having a "fresh" program and performing in the moment.
Remember last year at the WCs, the EuroSport guys said after Yuna's Les Mis: "we just want to see her skate it again".
But if she had actually gone out there and skated the program again ... do you think it would have had the same effect? I say no.
so my prediction is:
1.Yuna Kim
2. Julia Lipnitskaya
3. Mao Asada
4. Kanako Murakami
5. Karolina Kostner
6. Ashley Wagner
1. Patrick Chan
2. Javier Fernandez
3. Yuzuru Hanyu
4. Plushy
5. Denis Ten
6. Daisuke Takahashi
Who I want to see in the gala skate (aka top five)
1. Patrick Chan
2. Javier Fernandez
3. Brian Joubert or Daisuke Takahashi
4. Brian Joubert or Daisuke Takahashi
5. Jeremy Abbott
1. Carolina Kostner
2. Akiko Suzuki
3. Adelina Sotnikova OR Ashley Wagner OR Yu Na Kim
4. Mao Asada
5. Kaetlyn Osmond
1. Savchenko/Szolkowy
2. Duhamel/Radford
3. Stolbova/Klimov
4. Moore-Towers/Moscovitch
5. Berton/Hotarek
1. Virtue/Moir
2. Weaver/Poje
3. Pechalat/Bourzat
4. Cappellini/Lannotte
5. Ilynikh/Katsalpov or Bobrova/Soloviev
For me...
1. Patrick Chan
2. Yuzuru Hanyu
3. Javier Fernandez
4. Daisuke Takahashi
5. Jeremy Abbott
1. Yuna Kim
2. Mao Asada
3. Julia Lipnitskaya
4. Carolina Kostner
5. Akiko Suzuki
Ice Dance:
1. Davis/White
2. Virtue/Moir
3. Bobrova/Soloviev
4. Pechalat/Bourzat
5. Weaver/Poje
Medal predictions: I wont get ANY of my wishes :
Gold for Asada
Medal for Kostner
Medal for Wagner
Gold for Hanyu
Medal for Fernandez
Medal for Abbott
Medal for Plushenko
Gold for S\S
Medal for MT\M
1) Patrick Chan
2) Hunyu
3) Javier Fernandez
1)Julia Lipnitskaia
2)Gracie Gold
3)Adelina Sotnikova
4) Yuna Kim
5) Mao Asada
6) Polina Edmunds
I suspect that neither Mao nor Yuna will be medalists this year.
1. Yuna Kim
2. Julia Lipniskaia(home ice) / Mao asada
3. Mao Asada / Julia Lipniskaia
Actually i thought of quite a few more skaters having chances to get a bronze or even silver :Gracie Gold, Akiko Suzuki, Adelina Sotnikova(home ice), Kanako Murakami, Lizijun, Ashley Wagner
Dream Podium
1. Yuna Kim
2. Li zijun
3. Akiko Suzuki
Men :
1. Hanyu Yuzuru
2. Patrick Chan
3. Javier Fernandez
For men I can only predict gold which is Chan even he skate with some mistakes, he is in really good shape. As I think Hanyu may not skate to his potential as he might be too pressure by his own expectation (I think I just watch a news report that he think about Sochi all the time - -"), also he is not as commit to performance in FS as in 2012 yet.
May be Daisuke will have super skate of his life and surprise us all .
Men: Chan, Fernandez and Hanyu
Ladies: Kim, Asada and Lipnitskaia
Do we win a prize if we're correct?
Here are mine, not doing ice dance since D/W are a lock for gold, and I'm not hugely into pairs.
Men: Hanyu, Chan, Fernandez
Ladies: Kim, Asada, Lipnitskaia
Team: Russia, Japan, USA

"Someone—or something—is killing Seattle's gay men.
A creature moves through the darkest night, lit only by the full moon, taking them, one by one, from the rainy city's gay gathering areas.
Someone—or something—is falling in love with Thad Matthews.
Against a backdrop of horror and fear, young Thad finds his first true love in the most unlikely of places—a new Italian restaurant called The Blue Moon Cafe. Sam is everything Thad has ever dreamed of in a man: compassionate, giving, handsome, and with brown eyes Thad feels he could sink into. And Sam can cook! But as the pair's love begins to grow, so do the questions and uncertainties, the main one being, why do Sam's unexplained disappearances always coincide with the full moon?"
The Blue Moon Cafe is a luscious dark thriller. The suspenseful plot swept me up in to the streets of Seattle. Reed has done an outstanding job of inviting the audience into the twisted mind of the serial killer as he hunts his prey. Every flesh ripping scene and taunting chase of the attacks were seared into my memory.
Fortunately, for us not all the characters are so mentally unraveled and thirsty for the kill. Well maybe a little thirsty, but thankfully for wanton indulgences.
Reed scares us out of our seats in one paragraph, then seduces us back into our soft warm beds with the next. The carnal passion between Sam and Thad enslaved me. Thad's vulnerability and urgent need for Sam's love captured my heart.
The cast of secondary characters seasons this novel into a deliciously horrifying adventure. This read has truly leaves me hoping for more.

These tips to conserve water in the garden have been brought to you by Silk as part of their #YayWater campaign. This post is sponsored by Silk, but concerns our own opinion.
All of my garden plants are in the ground, along with a handful or two of seeds. They will need a lot of attention cover the coming months to ensure that they stay healthy and nobody eats them that isn't supposed to. Like ME! Watering the garden will be a chore I do frequently over the coming months. Summer in GA is hot and my water bill sometimes soars if Mother Nature doesn't offer a bit of rain occasionally. Everyone in the house tries to do their part by conserving water whenever we can to balance out the garden usage. Every household, business, and organization should take a look around and find ways to conserve water every day. It is a precious resource that we need to survive so using less of it is a very good thing! Did you know that drinking Silk milk instead of traditional dairy milk is a good way to do your part to conserve water? It's true! By drinking Silk milk instead of cow milk, you actually end up conserving water because cows drink a TON of water. In fact, producing Silk soymilk, almondmilk and coconutmilk actually uses 77% less water than producing one carton of conventional U.S. dairy milk. That is a huge difference!
April is Earth Month and in celebration of this beautiful planet, Silk has launched a cute and educational video series to help educate people about the importance of learning how to conserve water. Silk has partnered with The Nature Conservancy to help raise money for water conservation efforts. For every "share" of one of the Yay Water Earth Month videos, Silk will donate $1, up to $20,000, to The Nature Conservancy. In order to do your part to raise awareness AND money, I hope you will head over the watch the Yay Water videos and share them with your friends, family, and followers!
Drinking Silk milk is just one way to start on the path to water conservation. If you are an avid gardener like I am, here are a few tips to help you make the most of your water usage when keeping your garden plants hydrated!
Tips to Conserve Water in the Garden
1. Water the roots, not the leaves. This means that you should be aiming your hose at the soil, not waving it over the top of your garden.
2. Water deeply, not frequently. Those roots run deep and getting the soil really wet helps keep plants hydrated. Watering the top of the soil only just ensures that the sun will evaporate it without letting the plants soak it up first.
3. Water in the morning. Watering in the heat of the afternoon is not as effective since the water evaporates faster instead of soaking in deep. Watering at night encourages disease growth.
4. Choose the right plants for your region. If you live in Texas you will have a hard time growing lettuce in July. Trust me, I've tried! Choose plants that thrive in your region and choose native grasses and ground cover that are more drought resistant if you live in a hot climate.
5. Mulch your plants to keep the water from evaporating. Mulch is also a great natural weed control method!
6. Rethink your traditional hose. Use drip irrigation with a soaker hose to reduce evaporation by directing water to plant roots.
These are just a few easy ways that every gardener can do their part to conserve water in the coming months. To learn more about how drinking Silk milk can also reduce our water usage, check out Silk on Facebook and Twitter.

DeWitt, N.Y. -- At Holy Cross Church in DeWitt, the children's pageant at the Christmas Eve Mass really packs them in.
More than 800 people filled the pews and, this year, a satellite room was set aside to handle the overflow.
The pageant involves about 90 children, including a baby for Baby Jesus, and the church's children's choir, said Kathy Fitzgibbons, the director of religious education who has coordinated the pageant for years.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Hillcrest-Evergreen made every crucial play when it counted most, ending the game with a 10-0 run to beat Andalusia 68-57 and win the Class 4A boys South Regional championship.
Hillcrest -- the No. 7-ranked team in 4A -- took the lead for good, at 57-55, on Chris Howard's 3-pointer with about three minutes to go. After Andalusia's Victor Benson converted a layup with 1:36 to go, the Jaguars scored the game's final 10 points.
Chris Joyner, Rajah Savage and Barron Smith made 6-of-6 free throws in the final 34.6 seconds to pull away for the win.
The Jaguars (26-6) rushed onto the floor when the final horn sounded, as head coach Warren Roberts bear-hugged Howard and the two crashed to the floor. (ep)
Joyner scored 19 points to lead Hillcrest, while Smith and Barry Smith added 13 apiece. Corinthian Sims led Andalusia (31-3) with 24 points, but he failed to score in the third quarter.
Hillcrest advanced to next week's 4A state semifinals and will play at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday against No. 9 Anniston.
The All-Tournament team was: Escambia County's Cedric Pierce, Headland's Jahwon Williams, Andalusia's Derrick King and Sims and Hillcrest's Joyner and Deaundre Lyons. Lyons was named MVP.

'Dancing with the Stars' recap: It's Disney night!
Did you know the Osmonds were discovered by Walt Disney? No? Well, that's part of the explanation for why Donny Osmond is guest judging tonight's episode of "Dancing with the Stars." Oh, and he was Captain Shang in "Mulan." And he was Gaston in "Beauty and the Beast." Look, I don't think we need to justify Donny showing up. He won "Dancing with the Stars," remember? He's going to be a better guest judge than a lot of these random stars who just like watching the show. So let's get to it!

Immediately north of Veracruz lie the oldest Spanish settlements in Mexico, and the sites of the indigenous towns which became Cortes' first allies. A short stretch of toll highway takes you as far as CARDEL, a busy little town and handy place to change buses or visit the bank, at the junction of the coastal highway and the road up to Xalapa. La Antigua lies 2km off this road. Beyond Cardel there's very little to stop for in the long coastal stretch (about 4hr on the bus) to Papantla. At NAUTLA, 153km from Veracruz, you pass the largest town en route to Papantla, surrounded by coconut groves, at the heart of the so-called "Costa Esmeralda". There are hotels, some of them pretty fancy, trailer parks and campsites all the way up here, but most are just metres from the highway, which runs close to the shore. The grey sand is frequently desolate and windswept, and it's not really a place you'd want to stay.

La Antigua
La Antigua
For all its antiquity, there's not a great deal to see in LA ANTIGUA, site of the second Spanish settlement in Mexico (it's often incorrectly described as the first – Villa Rica is further north). It is, however, a beautiful, cobble-streeted tropical village, just 20km north of Veracruz on the banks of the Río La Antigua (or Río Huitzilapan). At weekends it makes a popular excursion for Veracruzanos, who picnic by the river and swim or take boat rides.
In the semi-ruined centre of the village stand some of the oldest surviving Spanish buildings in the country: on the plaza are the Edificio del Cabildo, built in 1523, which housed the first ayuntamiento (local government) established in Mexico, and the Casa de Cortés, a fairly crude stone construction, which, despite the name, was probably never lived in by Cortés and is now a ruin, undergoing restoration. Nearby is the tranquil Ermita del Rosario, the first Christian church built in New Spain, which also dates from the early sixteenth century, though it's been altered and restored since.
On the riverbank stands a grand old tree – the Ceiba de la Noche Feliz – to which it is claimed that Cortés moored his ships. A pedestrian suspension bridge crosses the river near the tree, and on this stretch of the bank are lanchas offering river trips and a little row of restaurants with waterside terraces, the pick of which is Las Maravillas.
CempoalaThe first native city visited by the conquistadors, CEMPOALA (or Zempoala) quickly became their ally against the Aztecs. When Cortés arrived, the city, under the leadership of Chicomacatl (dubbed the "Fat Chief" by conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo), had been under Aztec control for little over fifty years. Its people, who numbered some 25,000 to 30,000, had already rebelled more than once and were only too happy to stop paying their tribute once they believed that the Spaniards could protect them. This they did, although the inhabitants must have begun to have second thoughts when Cortés ordered the idols of their deities to be smashed and replaced with crosses and Christian altars.
The site
The ruins, though nowhere near as dramatic as El Tajín further north, make for an absorbing detour and take no more than an hour to explore. They date mostly from the Aztec period, and although the buildings have lost their decorative facings and thatched sanctuaries, they constitute one of the most complete surviving examples of an Aztec ceremonial centre – albeit in an atypical tropical setting and on a very small scale. The double-stairway pyramids, grouped around a central plaza, must have resembled miniature versions of those at Tenochtitlán. Apart from the main, cleared site, consisting of the Templo Mayor, the Gran Pirámide and the Templo de las Chimeneas, there are lesser ruins scattered throughout, and around, the modern village. Look out in particular for the circular Templo de Ehecatl (Temple of the Wind God) on the opposite side of the main road through the village.
Villa Rica
Villa Rica
Around 15km north of Cardel, the sleepy village of Villa Rica was the first permanent Spanish settlement in New Spain. Established by Cortés in 1519, it was abandoned in 1524 for La Antigua, and only foundations remain today, close to the normally deserted beach. Just beyond, an exceptionally scenic area of steep, green hills is home to Mexico's only nuclear plant, on the coast at Laguna Verde.

Intrepid elk finds its way to North Whidbey
A bull elk decided to explore Whidbey Island and residents are taking notice.
The wandering elk, which are rarely seen on the island, has been hanging out near Strawberry Point on North Whidbey. He's been hiding in the grass and enjoying the apples on nearby trees.
"It's been pretty low key. We knew it would be a matter of time," Ralph Downes, an officer with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, said about reports of the animal being spotted on Whidbey.
He said he got the first reports about the elk about three weeks ago. It took several reports before he thought the sightings were credible.
"A chance of an elk on Whidbey Island is very, very slim," Downes said. Judging from reports, it looks like the elk could be five years old.
He said the elk is also safe from potential hunters because Whidbey Island is in a game management unit that lacks a hunting season.
Some people have managed to photograph the elk.
"He was huge," said Madeline Biekert, who snapped a shot of the elk as it meandered onto the property near Strawberry Point she owns with her husband, Kevin.
Downes said the elk probably swam to Whidbey Island from Skagit County, when a herd wandered down to the lowlands. He said elk are excellent swimmers, adding he's heard of reports of elks swimming several miles off the Washington coast. Why it was there, nobody knows.
A herd of elk was spotted in the Skagit lowlands in recent weeks before migrating back up to the hills. Downes said Whidbey's elk must have wandered away then.
While the elk is keeping a low-key presence basically grazing in the fields, he doesn't think it will stay on Whidbey much longer.
It's currently the middle of rutting season for elk. While Whidbey provides plenty of food, the island lacks other bulls for sparring and cows for socializing, Downes said. He'll probably swim across Skagit Bay to rejoin his herd.

Derek Mason may have the toughest job among the 14 SEC coaches this season. The first-year Vanderbilt coach is following James Franklin's three years of success at the toughest place to win in the conference.
"Every job is hard, whether you follow a guy or you are the first to do it," said Mason, the former Stanford assistant. "I would have taken this job coming off 0-11. James did the leg work and Bobby Johnson before him. It's my expectation to push the envelope."
Franklin guided Vanderbilt to a 24-15 record and three bowl appearances in his tenure. The Commodores were 14-2 in non-conference games. It's high cotton for the long-time league doormat.
Mason has a decent base on which to build, with seven offensive starters returning and five on defense. He promised that Vanderbilt would continue to recruit nationally and promote its brand as a strong academic institution with the promise of playing time in the 3-4 defense and spread offense. He said at least 17 of this year's 22-member signing class will have to play.
"We have to take the pressure off the top guys," he said. "Our team is one of no-name young men who have a chance to do something great."
He said what? "Our opportunity to compete for an SEC East title is now." Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason.
Biggest worry: Mason may not have a feel for the intensity of the SEC and replacing a jewel like departed wide receiver Jordan Mathews won't be easy. The entire secondary is gone and that's not good in a time where SEC teams are flinging the ball around at a record rate.
Biggest comfort: A four-game winning streak at the end of last season and victories against Georgia, Florida and Tennessee have instilled a strong winning attitude.
What it means to LSU: Nothing. The Tigers aren't scheduled to play Vanderbilt until 2019 when most of this year's recruits will be gone.

A West New York woman and a Cliffside Park man are in custody today after the ex-couple got into a fight early this morning during which she stabbed him, police said.
Karla Ramos, 18, is facing charges of aggravated assault, possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose for the 3:30 a.m. attack on Franklin Avenue, Cliffside Park Capt. Michael Russo said. Ramos is being held at the borough police department in lieu of $10,000 bail.
The stabbing victim, Eric Hernandez, 28, had violated a restraining order Ramos filed against him and is being held at the police department in lieu of $2,500, Russo said.
The attack occurred as Ramos walked Hernandez back to his apartment after picking him up from a local bar, Russo said. After Ramos started talking to a friend on her cellphone, she said, Hernandez became angry and started threatening her, according to police said.
Feeling scared, Ramos said she picked up a knife and stabbed Hernandez in the chest and back, Russo said. The police captain said Ramos fled but later surrendered after Hernandez called police.
Hernandez, suffering from two small cuts, was treated at the Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and was later released into police custody in connection with violating the restraining order, police said.

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson's status is uncertain after he sustained a concussion in Sunday's 27-24 win over Washington. Meanwhile, running back Brian Westbrook will be re-examined this week after missing the last two games with his second concussion of the season.
Jackson was injured on a hit after running a short crossing pattern in the third quarter. He didn't lose consciousness and left the field on his own. "He doesn't feel bad today," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "We are as cautious as they come with concussions. We're going to continue to test him and go through the process."
The diminutive Jackson — he's generously listed at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds — is susceptible in traffic because of his size. He leads the team with eight touchdowns, all of which are 35 yards or more. "We'll just see how he does over the next few days," Reid said. "That hit was more of the shoulder. It really wasn't on the head."
The team expects Westbrook to see specialists this week in Pittsburgh. The doctors said they wanted to see Westbrook 2-3 weeks after their previous exam Nov. 18. "I'm not sure exactly what step the doctor will take with him," Reid said. "I don't know that. We'll see what phase the doctor feels he's at and the doctor will determine what he will do. If that's going back on the field, we'll do that. If that's more conditioning work in the weight room, we'll do that."
Westbrook experienced a mild headache last week after a workout. The 30-yar-old former All-Pro sustained his first career concussion when he hit his head on a defender's knee during a Monday night win at Washington on Oct. 26. He briefly lost consciousness but walked off the field under his own power.
Westbrook returned against San Diego on Nov. 15 after missing two games. But he sustained another concussion when he got sandwiched between a blocker and a tackler on a screen play.
"I know a lot is being said about concussions," Reid said. "We are as conscious as they come with concussions. We are going to do everything within our power to get (Jackson) the proper treatment and diagnosis. To compare to Brian's, are we going to be more cautious? No. We're always cautious. We're going to do what we do."

Raymond Chen has been running a series of interesting articles about the history of Windows and its API. Ever wonder why the time zone map no longer highlights the zone you're in? Or what the BEAR35, BUNNY73, and PIGLET12 functions are named after? Or why you turn off your computer by clicking "start"? I've bookmarked his site.
In particular, "The secret life of GetWindowText" should be required reading for anyone trying to understand API lockin. Describing one aspect of this simple and fundamental part of the Windows API takes a couple of pages. And then notice the kicker:
The documentation simplifies this as "GetWindowText() cannot retrieve text from a window from another application."
As Raymond says, "the documentation tries to explain its complexity with small words, which is great if you don't understand long words, but it also means that you're not getting the full story." (Actually, Raymond, the documentation does tell the whole story, look closer.)
Anyway, the complexity behind such a simple function is a classic example of an abstraction leaking. And more importantly, it's one of the reasons it's so dang hard to write API emulation layers, like, say, WINE... because getting 100% compatibility means emulating all these bizarre internal complexities perfectly, even when they're not completely documented or the documentation doesn't really describe what happens in every scenario.
Does anyone have any suggestions for inexpensive ways to print two color, high quality letterhead, stationary, and business cards? A number of people have recommended Vistaprint; I've decided to avoid them because they seem to be pretty major and unreformed spammers.

php/mysql person needed for one project
usa based only please
payment by paypal
must agree to start now get done within a day or so.
A user logs in, clicks a tab and then they get a file with a list of stuff. That part I have covered. The list of stuff has a link on each line to download a spreadsheet.
The link calls the script you write that is passed an id number from the link.
The spreadsheet contains data from up to 8 tables with 20-30 fields each. The XLS needs to be MAC/PC compatible. (headers issue perhaps)
The labels for the columns come from a different set of tables than the data resides in.
Down the road I will need it to be called from a cron job and have the user be notified when the file is ready, so it can handle larger qty of rows. For now it can just do the spreadsheet on the fly, unless it would cost the same to do the cron job method now.
RESPOND BY PM ONLY PLEASE - we communicate VIA email not instant messenger so please provide your email address.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- A 27-year-old Bon Secour man pleaded guilty this week to multiple charges filed after a Foley police officer made a traffic stop and wound up being dragged by the suspect's vehicle in Sept. 2009.
Foley police initially pulled Anthony Taylor over for not wearing a seatbelt and for tossing a napkin containing methadone pills out of the car window, Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney Michaelyn Gober said in a news release.
"When told he was under arrest for the drugs," Gober said, "Taylor fled, dragging the officer 20-30 feet as the officer was reaching for the keys."
Gober said the man led officers on a high-speed chase with his 2-year-old son in the vehicle ultimately using the child as a shield when he stopped the car and resisted arrest.
Taylor entered a blind plea, meaning there was no pre-determined agreement with prosecutors on a sentence. The guilty plea included the felony assault and drug possession charges as well as traffic violations, resisting arrest and reckless endangerment.
Sentencing is set for Jan. 12. Each felony carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
In the news release, Baldwin County District Attorney Hallie Dixon praised Foley police for bringing the incident to a safe conclusion and ensuring the safety of Taylor's child.

Homegrown filmmaker Bryan Gunnar Cole premieres his latest film at the Lynwood.
Bryan Gunnar Cole saw his first movie at the Lynwood Theatre, the very venue thats about to premiere his latest effort as filmmaker.
And despite the theaters warm, comfy vibe, theres a lot at stake.
What we need here are tushes in the seats, Cole said. And the reason were premiering here rather than L.A. is that I can post better numbers here because I have a community I can bring to the film.
In other words, the number of locals who show up at the Lynwood this weekend for showings of Day Zero will have a direct impact on how many theaters the film ultimately makes it to.
Its a bit of pressure for a home-town guy, but the stakes are even higher in the film itself.
The setup: America is still at war and the draft has been re-instated. Three childhood friends are called up, leading to a narrative examination of the question What would you do? in a not-too-distant and all-too-realistic way.
Chris Kleins Rifkin, a lawyer, tries to use strings and family ties to avoid reporting. Jon Bernthals Dixon is gung-ho to serve until love calls his fervor into question. And Elijah Woods Feller, a successful, nebbishy novelist, undergoes a dramatic Taxi-Driver-esque transformation.
These character studies and their underlying representations of Americans response to the conflict in Iraq, not to mention what could happen if the situation escalated in a manner that gut-punched us so close to home, mirrored the diversity of opinions behind the scenes.
Writer and executive producer Rob Malkani was the most conservative of the core bunch. Producer Anthony Moody offered a reliably moderate viewpoint; Cole was the resident progressive.
Yet far from hindering the projects progress, the trios different viewpoints not only clicked, but served the end product.
We had this gamut of political ideology, Cole said. Every day, Id come in and people would say, Im so glad youre making a pro-war movie, (or) Im so glad youre making an anti-war movie. That synergy thats a great experience to have your first time out.
In international screenings, audience response to what Cole hopes will become the next political date movie has crossed generational lines.
Some of the most dynamic Q&A sessions have come from young adult audience members. Tellingly, many didnt even know what the draft was before seeing the film, leading Cole and crew to create an explanatory prologue montage.
On the other side lie the Vietnam veterans, some of whom have approached Cole after screenings to say, I pushed out of my mind the memory of these emotions until now. And it took me right back.
Were in a very similar time now, the difference being that then the draft was ongoing, but now its not, Cole said. But the ongoing war is part of our psyche. So this is an important discussion to have.
That, Cole said, is what drove the guys, i.e. his young cast members, to risk signing on to an independent feature with uncertain distribution prospects for relatively low pay.
Events roll out against a grainy, de-saturated Vietnam-era styling and a soundtrack and score helmed by Coles wife, Erin OHara that Cole says combined offer homages all over the place to iconic 1970s-era films.
Think not Jaws or Towering Inferno but grittier fare that delves into foible-ridden human messes on the small and grand scale: The King of Marvin Gardens, Harold and Maude, Shampoo and Medium Cool.
Coles workmanlike take on filmmaking has grown out of a skill set honed by Seattles fringe theater scene he co-founded Annex Theatre along with a steady series of editing and directing jobs. His body of work so far has left him with a clear understanding of how to get a film made.
One of my strongest assets is that I show up every day to go to work, he said. And people respect that. And frankly, its rare.
This professional maturity extends to his actors, who give measured performances that bely their youth.
If youre trying to tell the truth, and youre going after it with a good heart, its going to be fine, he tells them. If youre trying to hide, or trying to be coy...those are the kinds of blemishes that are going to be seen.
That, along with everyones willingness to work their arses off is what gets a film made.
Cole and singer-songwriter-composer OHara recently began a professional and domestic experiment. They decided to divide their time between New York and their cabin in Suquamish, the scene of Coles 2004 documentary Boomtown.
On this, Coles home turf, the couple and their two young daughters are far more relaxed and able to enjoy life as a family.
The kids are in school on Bainbridge, OHara can work from the cabin, and Cole can seek out new projects.
The more time we can spend together, and spend with our kids, the better. Thats what this environment promotes, he said.
But projects are the rub. While New York gets everyones hackles a little bit higher Cole notes a marked difference in his daughters tension level there, not to mention the necessity to take a standardized test to gain entry into the public school across the street from their building thats where the work is.
And although Seattle was a hot filmmaking spot in the 1990s, Cole now describes a region full of enthusiasts, not professionals.
But so far, the experiment is working well enough that he and OHara remain optimistic and content to let it play out. And he has a basic faith in the good that will come of his work.
When you get an idea like this and put it out to the environment in a strong way and with a good heart, the world will respond, he said.
So what was the first film Cole ever saw? As it happens, one that similarly dealt with the biggies: love, loss, heroism and the role of friendship in the development of self.
Day Zero, directed by Bryan Gunnar Cole, will be screened at the Historic Lynwood Theatre Jan. 18-24, with the filmmaker in attendance for Q&A at selected shows. See www.lynwoodtheatre.com for times, and see www.dayzerothemovie.com.

Unibic ANZAC Biscuit Tins
We have been producing limited edition Unibic ANZAC Biscuit tins since 2002.
Each year, we produce a new tin – or set of tins – to commemorate significant events, men and women who have served in or been affected by war, and even symbols of remembrance.
These tins have been sold not only in Australia and New Zealand to raise funds and awareness for the RSL and RNZRSA, but also in the UK, the USA, Canada and India to support their respective serving and veterans' associations.
Only a limited quantity of tins is produced each year for Anzac Day. Always in high demand, each edition sells out very quickly.
Quickly becoming collectors' items, Unibic ANZAC Biscuit tins celebrate the origin of Anzac biscuits, reminding us of the packages of love and care from home that helped buoy the Anzac Spirit in the trenches of Gallipoli.

Surely it depends on the installation? If the coax has a loose inner conductor but contains some bends, most of the expansion/contraction forces will be taken up by flexing at the bends, the cable acting like a spring. If the coax has a fixed inner conductor (as in foam heliax) the forces are distributed all the way along the cable so there is much less relative movement at the ends. The worst case would be a straight drop of several hundred feet down a tower (which is common in commercial installations) and a cable with a loose inner conductor. In that case the forces will have nowhere else to act except the connector pins, and ordinary captive-pin N connectors probably won't save you from the consequences of having installed the wrong kind of cable. My impression is that captive-pin N connectors are rather rare in the USA compared with the original MIL type. They are quite common in Europe and experience has generally been good. The RG213 size generally has a much better braid termination and cable clamp as well, all of which helps to keep the connection reliable. 73 from Ian G3SEK Editor, 'The VHF/UHF DX Book' 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.demon.co.uk/g3sek -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: email@example.com Problems: firstname.lastname@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search

Skilled plastic surgeons at Mayo Clinic provide a wide range of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery services. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is staffed by 18 plastic surgeons with specialized training and skills in one or more of the following surgical subspecialties:
Three plastic surgeons practice at Mayo Clinic in Florida, 11 in Rochester, Minn., and four in Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. Plastic surgeons work closely with physicians from other specialties to offer patients comprehensive medical care to meet their reconstructive and cosmetic surgical needs. Surgeons in dermatology, otolaryngology (ENT) and oral/maxillofacial surgery also have training and expertise in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.
In addition to caring for patients in their clinical practices, Mayo Clinic's faculty is committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge. Many faculty members have published and lectured extensively and are well regarded in their field. You will have direct access to these individuals. By working with them, you will become part of the "spirit of Mayo" where all team members work together to deliver consistently high-quality patient care.
Visiting ProfessorsMany prominent professors visit Mayo each year. They present their work during noon and/or morning lectures and participate in hospital rounds. The residents are encouraged to take full advantage of these opportunities.

Back to the Future: Packers Sign Running Back Ahman GreenOctober 22, 2009 – 12:53 am by admin
The Green Bay Packers have plenty of issues this season. They're 3-2, can't seem to keep quarterback Aaron Rodgers on his feet and commit more penalties on a per-game basis than any team in the league. Exciting stuff.
Most recently they came up with a void at running back after third-stringer DeShawn Wynn hurt his knee. The solution? Why, sign free agent and former Packer Ahman Green of course.
Is Green going to see the field? Who knows. He's a four-time Pro Bowler but he's also a 32-year old running back the Houston Texans cut in February. He's also a mere 46 yards from breaking Green Bay's franchise rushing mark, which Jim Taylor holds with 8,207 yards.
So this got us thinking: When was the last time Ahman Green was actually good? Answer: 2006, when he ran for 1,059 yards in 14 games with the Packers.
Next question: When was Green at his peak? Answer: 2003, when he ran for 1,883 yards and 15 touchdowns in 16 games.
The Packers surely don't expect Green to be in that kind of form. Maybe he can just help out starter Ryan Grant. But hey, just think if we could all turn back the clock to 2003. Let's see what else was cool back then…
Going to war with Iraq: Seriously, this was fashionable back then. Let that sink in for a moment. Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell basically ruined his reputation by urging the U.N. Security Council to move against Iraq because it possessed (imaginary) weapons of mass destruction. Hey, how'd that turn out?
Arnold Schwarzenegger: In fairness, he's pretty much always cool. Have you seen True Lies? But this is the year he was elected Governator of California. Again, let this sink in.
The Lord of the Rings: The popular movie series nailed it in 2003 with The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Also in theatres: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Matrix: Reloaded and Finding Nemo.
Capturing Saddam Hussein: Who doesn't like capturing a cruel dictator when he's hiding out in a hole in the ground? Good times all around.
Harley Davidson: The iconic motorcycle manufacturer celebrated it's 100th anniversary in 2003 with a big 'ol rally in Milwaukee.
50 Cent: His massive debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' came out in 2003. It featured such classics as "P.I.M.P." and "In da Club." Awesome.
Also sort of relevant in 2003: Clay Aiken, Limp Bizkit (yes, they were still around and annoying people) and Nelly.
Having Michael Jackson in the news: Shockingly Michael Jackson was all over the news (I wonder what that's like). He was booked on suspicion of multiple counts of child molestation.
iTunes: Apple launched the service, which sold 10 million songs within its first four months of operation. It was very popular in the good ol' days.
NASA crashing stuff: The space probe Galileo made a fiery dive into the atmosphere of Jupiter. That reminds me of something in the news recently…
Global pandemic scares: Everyone on the planet flipped their sh*t over a possible world outbreak of both Asian avian influenza (or bird flu) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
OK, so I guess when you consider those last four things I guess the world hasn't changed all that much.
Welcome back Ahman.

I'm down to my last two items and my spring cleaning is done.
I'm selling my 2008 Felt B2 carbon fiber bike size 48cm with 650c wheels. More details can be found on Craigslist. I've dropped the price to $1900. This bike only has about 750 miles on it. It's in great shape and it's fast, and probably would be even faster with someone else on it pedaling!
Also selling my 2007 Zoot Zenith full wetsuit in a ladies size small. I only wore it 5 times. It is in mint condition. I've dropped the price on this to $200.
I can meet you just about anywhere if you are interested in test riding the bike.
Check out my postings on the Craigslist links above.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend. Weather should be great!

All Fareway employees strive to uphold our company values each and every day:
Providing fresh, high quality meat and produce
Treating our customers like family and taking pride in delighting them with:
Supporting and partnering with local businesses, communities and farmers
Donating time and resources to charitable organizations both large and small
Caring about the health of our planet and use eco-friendly practices at our stores
Holding family values in the highest regard
Demonstrating integrity, fairness and honesty in our relationships with customers, employees, vendors and suppliers
The value of a day of rest
Fareway's policy of closing on Sunday has been in place for as long as our company has been in existence. In this go-go-go 24/7 world, many of our customers have asked why we continue to do so.
The idea of resting on Sunday is something in which our founder, Paul S. Beckwith, firmly believed-in part because of his religious beliefs, in part because of a story told to him by his father.
Paul's father was a pioneer who traveled to the new territory by wagon train. Some of the pioneers were in a great hurry so they drove on every day, leaving behind those who stopped for a day of rest and worship. Weeks passed, and as the settlers continued to move westward, the families who had taken Sunday off began to catch up with those who had pushed ahead-only to find broken-down wagons, lame animals and weary people. Paul's father told him he decided right then and there that the Bible was right; neither man nor beast was made to work seven days a week.

It is a short sale and these taxes are based on a Homestead exemption. It is at $2182 as mentioned before, for the past year. I recently sold a home in CC around the same price and because it was not a Homestead the buyer had to pay around $2,800 for the first year so that is a big plus for you.

A 22-year-old Jersey City man has been arrested and charged with stealing bikes at the Journal Square and Hoboken PATH stations in two separate incidents, Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo said.
On Saturday at 9 p.m., police officers in plainclothes caught Jose L. Torres cutting a lock securing a red Schwinn Ranger Mountain bike at a bike rack at the Hoboken PATH station, Pentangelo said.
Torres threw down a pair of cutting pliers and ran a short distance before he was apprehended and placed under arrest, he said.
While processing Torres, officers determined he fit the description of an individual wanted for a bike theft at the Journal Square PATH station just a day before, Pentangelo said. On that day, he was observed cutting the lock securing another mountain bike and taking it, Pentangelo said.
Torres admitted he stole the bike from the Journal Square PATH station, and was then charged with that theft, Pentangelo said, adding that Torres was found with two sets of pliers and a hypodermic needle.
Torres was charged with resisting arrest, possession of burglary tools, theft by unlawful taking, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal attempt.

Paul BarbaroWednesday, 11/06/2002
To Our Dearest Paul,
Words cannot begin to express the sadness and loss we experience every day without you, your laughter, smile, warmth and love. And even the greatest of hearts could not measure how much we love and miss you. Our world is so much less of a place without you.
Days pass and yet time seems to stand still. We find ourselves wishing for the past -- of happier days when we were all here together. We speak your name countless times daily. And each mention brings us joy and smiles, sadness and tears. Everything -- the past, the present, and the future, is bittersweet.
It can't be a year that you're not with us, because the pain is still all too great. And it seems like just yesterday we were together laughing and planning our next family vacation.
We realize how blessed we are to have been touched by such an extraordinary person and are forever grateful for every beautiful memory you've given us. Of course, two of the most precious gifts you could have ever given to us are Paul and Joseph, who are such a tremendous part of you. You would be proud, as we are, of the strength and courage they have shown.
Our lives will always be richer because they've been shared with you. Your presence and strong persona will always be with us and guide us through our best and worst of days.
We miss you and love you very much. Your Loving Family
Editor's Note: Paul Barbaro, 35, of Holmdel, N.J., a former Sunnyside resident, was a software engineer for E-Speed at Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of Tower 1. This letter was written by his father, Nicholas, and his sister, Jacqueline Venezia, on behalf of his family. Today is his parents' 42nd wedding anniversary.

Meth Beauty Queen
If the candle truly burns brightest just before
the wick drops blackened into the pooling yellow,
oozing pockets spilling out softened sides
quicker than tiny dopamine floods, laughter
tracking you down the halls, the red-alarm
smell as the smoke coalesces—
if I truly shine, then take it, take
the picture, crown me with teeth.

Plurk is a relatively new service that is very similar to twitter. You have 140 characters to explain to people what you are doing, you can copy and paste video/img links, and you can also have "fans" (followers on twitter) that can stalk you…I mean follow your updates. Plurk does have a few things that twitter doesn't such as Karma points and a "friend" status. Karma points are awarded based on your network activity, this means your and your friend's activity on Plurk. The more you and your friends use Plurk, the more karma points you get. Karma points then give you access to little emotion icons that are found in popular chat programs such as aim.
A friend is essentially one step up from a fan; basically a two-way connection with someone. The neat thing about Plurk is that you can organize your friends into "cliques" a.k.a. groups. You can also control which "cliques" can see your messages. This is a feature that many people want twitter to add, well Plurk already has it. The time line view on Plurk is also pretty unique. It's a horizontal time line that you can drag around with your mouse to see the different online conversations. It's relatively easy to use and figure out.
There is one thing that still worries me about Plurk, but it isn't necessarily from the consumer standpoint. I'm talking about a business model. It seems that Plurk is trying to follow in the twitter footsteps, that is, get as many users as you can, and then worry about the revenue model. Well we have all seen how well that works with twitter. Plurk doesn't seem to have any premium features that would require any sort of payment, nor does their appear to be any form of advertising, so how is Plurk making money? My guess is, it isn't. There are going to be several twitter copycats that are going to be springing up all over the place, the trouble is going to be adoption rates. Twitter is far ahead of the micro blogging curve (in terms of competition) and the new guys are going to have a hard time trying to catch up, unless of course they have a product that is truly amazing (and has a better down time percentage then twitter.
I still want to see a solid revenue model and business model out of some of these social networks. I don't care for a revenue model build solely on advertising or a revenue model that involves a "to be determined" clause. Come on guys, an company is still a business and you need to treat it like one.
My aplogies for not posting any pictures, I am having trouble with the WP database and will hopefully have that issue resolved soon.

Fire destroyed a pole barn in Wilmington and a sport-utility vehicle early Monday morning. (Editor's note: This has been corrected to reflect that the SUV was not inside the pole barn.)
Firefighters responded to the blaze at 485 Hardy Road at 6:42 a.m., according to Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish.
"(The pole barn) was totaled," he said. "A car - a Honda Element - was also lost."

The property where the barn was located is owned by Nancy LaBlanc and J. Scott Avery, Jaquish said.
The fire has been deemed accidental, but the cause has not yet been determined, Jaquish said.
"There were outdoor wood boilers adjancent to the structure," Jaquish said. "But it's not known if they had anything to do with it."
