In communities across the country, families are taking steps to serve healthier meals at home. Now school meals will also be healthier and more appealing. In June 1995, the Federal Government made final its policy ensuring that all school meals meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans...that means that school breakfasts and lunches will soon be lower in fat and sodium.
To help implement this new rule and improve the health and education of children, the USDA created Team Nutrition. Innovative public and private partnerships are designed to promote food choices for a healthful diet through the media, schools, families and the community.
Food, Family and Fun has been developed by Team Nutrition to help you provide healthful, affordable meals at home, and to answer your children's questions about food and health in fun and entertaining ways.
We asked parents just like you what you wanted. They told us they wanted easy-to-use recipes that could provide families with nutrition information. They also wanted fun activities that could help them learn with their children about healthful eating.
This year the USDA has provided new recipes to all schools in the National School Lunch Program. Some of these recipes are featured in this collection. Yes, you too can prepare some of the recipes your children will be served that are lower in fat and meet the US Dietary Guidelines. Good nutrition begins at home.

San Diego is planning almost $4 billion in future redevelopment projects, the most audacious effort of any California city to combat Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to eliminate redevelopment.
The draft proposal, which was circulated around City Hall today, includes nearly $2.5 billion targeted for downtown. The list includes projects that wouldn't start until as late as 2048.
San Diego's proposal boosts the month-long fight between cities and Brown to unforeseen heights. Cities around the state have scrambled to protect redevelopment dollars from a potential state axe by selling bonds and, like San Diego is proposing, entering into complicated agreements to secure future property tax dollars without actually spending money now.


text: Bizarre "nodding syndrome" spreading across UgandaAnnalee Newitz12/23/11 8:35pmFiled to: epidemiologyNodding syndromeMedicineSciencetweetFb21EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink"Nodding syndrome" is a poorly-understood disease that causes children and teens to nod violently, as if having a seizure, when in the presence of food or when they get cold. Likened to epilepsy because of its effects, the disease is thought to be related to parasitic worms that also cause river blindness. First discovered in the Sudan in the 1980s, a new outbreak of nodding syndrome is sweeping across Uganda, and could spread elsewhere too. Advertisement New Scientist reports:The current outbreaks are concentrated in the districts of Kitgum, Pader and Gulu. In Pader alone, 66 children and teenagers have died. More than 1000 cases were diagnosed between August and mid-December.Onchocerca volvulus, a nematode worm that causes river blindness, is known to infest all three affected districts. Nearly all the children with nodding syndrome are thought to live near permanent rivers, another hint of a connection with river blindness.The link is not clear cut, though. "We know that [Onchocerca volvulus] is involved in some way, but it is a little puzzling because [the worm] is fairly common in areas that do not have nodding disease," says Scott Dowell, who researches paediatric infectious diseases and is lead investigator into nodding syndrome with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Nodding syndrome can cause severe neurological damage, and there are reports that it can stunt the growth of its young victims. There is currently no known cure, and doctors are trying to fight the symptoms with anticonvulsants.Reply21 repliesLeave a reply

Having a jailbroken iOS device opens up a Pandora's box of possibilities, allowing you to add more info and a personal touch to the most basic of your phone's functions: the lockscreen. Advertisement There are a lot of one-click themes already available on Cydia (the jailbreaker's App Store), but they're not always perfect. Today we'll be loading up a sleek, easily customizable lockscreen that gives you the date, the time, and the weather in a stylish format. When you've finished, you'll have a lockscreen like in the image above (which you can also customize if you wish). Before You Start, You'll Need...A jailbroken iPhoneiPhone Explorer or some variantionCydia (should install when you jailbreak your phone)From Cydia, you'll also need to install: Advertisement Lockscreen Clock HideWinterboardCleanStatus Step 1Download the theme appropriate for your current version of iOS.[iOS 4.1 and below] [iOS 4.2.1] Step 2Unzip the download and locate LockBackground.html.

By respringing, you will basically soft restart your springboard, which is where all of your apps are stored for your perusal. Ta-da! You will now have a customized lockscreen on your iPhone! It should look something like the image to the left.

To rock fans worldwide he is Slash the living legend, with more than 100 million album sales, not to mention a hard-drinking, drug-abusing life with Guns N' Roses. Ask for him in Stoke-on-Trent, however, and you might find he's better known as Saul, the boy who lived with his gran until he left for Los Angeles. As the mainstay of the band Guns N' Roses, he enjoyed fame and fortune as one of the world's best-known guitarists. Now, for the first time, the prodigal son is coming home.
Next Sunday, Slash will play a sold-out set in the town where he went to his first school. When news broke of the gig at the Victoria Hall in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, tickets sold out in less than two hours. For a man more used to packing out stadiums, the 1,500-capacity venue will feel more than a little cosy, and standing in the front row will be some of the people who remember the days when Slash called Stoke home.
Saul Hudson was born in Hampstead on 23 July 1965. His mother Ola was a costume designer who worked with pop royalty, including David Bowie; his father, Tony Hudson, was an artist. The couple travelled back and forth from Los Angeles where Ola made her living, so it was decided that young Saul should live with his grandparents, Sybil and Charles Hudson, in Consett Road, Blurton.
"He came to Blurton to live with his gran because he needed an education," recalls Ian Hudson, Slash's uncle, who is one of 12 of the rock star's "Stoke clan" who will be guests of honour at his homecoming gig.
Saul attended Sutherland Primary School. Even at a young age, he had the temperament and the hairstyle of a rock god in the making, not to mention an interest in reptiles that would become one of his trademarks.
"He was a very energetic young lad and more than a few times called into the headmistress's office at school," Ian, who used to babysit Saul, said yesterday. "He wore denim trousers and a corduroy jacket and had this thick head of hair, so girls were keen on him and the lads right jealous. But he was a gentle, loving, nice boy."
"I am so looking forward to the gig," said Ann Espley, a cousin of Slash's father who used to take Saul on bus rides into town. "I have VIP tickets so will get to meet him backstage after. I last saw him when he very little. He was a very cute child, with beautiful hair, but quite boisterous."
Slash moved to LA at the age of six to live with his mother, but has fond memories of his Stoke days. In his autobiography he writes of being centre of his grandparents' attention. "I didn't see my English relatives again until Guns N' Roses became well known," he wrote. "When we played Wembley stadium in 1992, the Hudson clan came out in force: backstage before the show I witnessed one of my uncles, my cousin and my grandfather down every drop of liquor in our dressing room."

Like the economy, President Obama has been reeling in recent days. But tonight's press conference was the first step to his own political recovery. Hovering over Obama's speech and answers was the ghost of George W. Bush. Again and again, Obama worked to dispel Republican canards about his stimulus package and to point out that it was his free-market critics who got the country into this mess in the first place "by doubling the national debt." His tone was stern and imperative. The president underscored that the age of excess has come to an abrupt end, whether it's bankers toying with other people's money (a nice allusion to Louis Brandeis' famous book, Bankers and Other People's Money) or A-Rod and Co bulking up on steroids.
From the outset, Obama made it abundantly clear that in this crisis he believes that government isn't the problem; it's the answer. It's a measure of how effectively the GOP has tapped into fears about big government that Obama was obliged to defend himself on this score. But as the president observed, he didn't enter office "ginned up" to spend $800 billion, but to gin up the economy itself, it's imperative to create a stimulus that will actually stimulate growth. At the same time, Obama set a high bar for himself in declaring that he should be judged on whether or not his plan creates 4 million jobs, stabilizes the credit markets, and "stems the rate of foreclosure[s]." Still, Obama did not engage in utopian promises about the next year, noting that he doesn't have a "crystal ball" and that it will be a very harsh year.
Obama was at his weakest in defending his embrace of bipartisanship. The blunt fact is that it has failed lamentably. "The Republicans were brought in early," as he noted. But it got him next to nothing. As a result, the shocking thing about the stimulus isn't the spending provisions, but that 35 percent of it is devoted to tax cuts. The most that Obama promised, however, for the future was "consultation," which is an elastic term. Obama called himself the "eternal optimist," but it's probably more a product of wishful thinking to believe that he can convert conservatives back to reality.
After eight years of a president who was barely able to respond to impromptu questions, however, it was simply refreshing to have a leader who can deliver forthright, direct responses, whether it's the fancy footwork that Obama displayed in deflecting a question about Joe Biden's gaffe or the blunt criticism that he directed at major league baseball. That was change that no one could possibly want to quibble about.

Never overpay. Check prices with our estimator
Ask a mechanic in our community
2008 Mercedes-Benz GL550 ProblemsTransmission May not Shift into Drive Due to Failed Selector Module
The transmission drive selector module may fail resulting in the loss of gear selection capability. This condition can leave the vehicle stranded, and will require replacement of the drive selector module.
The Mercedes Benz GL550 may have engine oil seeping or leaking from the back of the cylinder heads. This is commonly misdiagnosed as leaking valve covers.
On the back of the cylinder heads there are three, in total, plastic expansion plugs that plug access ports to the camshafts. These plugs are well known for seeping oil, and leaking if left unattended. The oil will run down the back of the engine and eventually make it to the ground.
Replacement of these three plastic plugs is extremely simple, and should be done as regular maintenance. The recommended interval for replacement is every 60,000 miles.
2008 Mercedes-Benz GL550 QuestionsFront headlight stuck sideways "active headlamps inoperable" (1 answer)

Tried the suckling pig as it was highly recommended. Very crispy and nice but slightly expensive at 238 RM. The other dishes are abit salty though. Recommended to go with chinese tea.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Melaka!
The salad prawn is really yummy!!!
Recommend all tourists to go and try it out!
It is pricey but it taste really good!!!
Good service and lovely Chinese food. The restuarant has parking attached
The staff are customer focused.
They produce a lovely Yer Sang during Chinese New Year.
My favourite.
Despite the expected crowd for Chinese New Year family Reunion Dinner, service was not bad.
We were seated on the upper floor and probably one of the first few arriving.
However as with most restaurants catering for the mass market during CNY, the food was bland and tasteless.
Road side parking was easy - if you don't drive, it will...
We made the dinner reservation 2 months ahead. The place was packed as it was the Chinese New Year. Food served was ok despite the crowd. The roasted suckling pig was good. We expect an even better quality of food on other non festive days. Will come again if we are in Melaka.
Food is generally nice during my first two visits, especially its codfish!
The only limitations to Bei Zhan is that it can get very crowded, so do make a reservation if you want to avoid disappointment, especially during Chinese New Year period.
I just visited it a third time. The mongolian grilled mutton and crispy pork slices were superb. However,...
Best salad prawn in Melaka!!!!
Nice environment and good services provided!!
Would definitely recommend everyone to come to Bei Zhan!!! :)
Searched for decent place to eat on Tripadvisor. Was wary of usual inconsistent standards on reviews. However, this was a most pleasant surprise! 6 of us had the asam patin fish (superb!), an egg omelette, braised beancurd with bean stick, braised pork with buns (could have been slightly more tender, but good all the same), fried brinjals (good!) and fried...
The restaurant is renovated with a modern twist, preserving what was historic and special before. The food are very fresh and very nice. The Assam Prawns I had was also delicious, with the shells peeled, so no fuss to eat! The seafood are all very fresh given that Melaka is a seaport itself. The service was prompt as well. Overall...
As we make last leg of our food binge trip up north and then down south, we have decided to go spartan on our usual pit stop at Beizhan. We just go basic on hor fun and fried rice. Hor fun had a tinge of burnt smell but the fried rice is interesting with a scattering of wolfberries. The garlic...

The 5 best amplifiers and speaker systems for World Cup wonders
All too often, the first experience anybody has with home cinema comes from an all-in system, which includes DVD or Blu-ray player, amplification and speakers in one box. And while there are plenty of good packages out there, from a variety of respectable manufacturers, true home cinema fans will tell you that you need separates to get the best performance.
By that, they mean that alongside different video and audio sources, such as a Blu-ray deck or TV set-top-box, you need a dedicated amplifier or receiver (the latter of which adding a radio tuner into the mix) and separate speaker system.
Certainly, with separates, as they have been designed with a specific task in mind, they are generally excellent at that function, and will undoubtedly improve a home cinema experience. Also, with a decent amp or AV receiver, you can input all of your kit, including games consoles and CD players, and feed your TV one connection.
Granted, you can expect to pay more for separates, but it's worth it if you're choosy about performance, and there are plenty of options that needn't break the bank. Indeed, we've tested some reasonably-priced systems that it's worth shelling out that extra cash for...
Denon AVR-1911
- Type
- 7-channel AV receiver
- Main feature
- 3D ready HDMI v1.4 inputs (x4)
- Price
- £450
Although it's not available until July, it may be worth hanging on as this UK-tuned Denon AV receiver will be 3D compatible straight from the box. To get the full 3D experience, the HDMI transmission path needs to be v1.4 throughout, from Blu-ray player to TV, and that includes the box in the middle.
You can watch 3D content through a normal v1.3 amplifier, but you won't be able to enable automated switching, ie. your TV won't detect a 3D signal and switch modes accordingly. Of course, you can always do that manually, but this Denon ensures that you won't need to.
It also has 7-channels of amplification at 125W per channel, allowing for a raucous 7.1 home cinema experience, and the addition of Dolby Pro Logic IIz compatibility allows you to place those extra speakers at the front, rather than rear. Amazing for the price.
Bowers & Wilkins MT-25
- type
- 5.1 sub/sat speaker system
- main feature
- Nautilus tube-loaded tweeters
- Price
- £1000
A fairly recent entry into the Bowers & Wilkins stable, the MT-25 takes the superb satellite and centre channel speakers from the MT-30 system, but dispenses with the diving bell-style PV1 subwoofer, plumping for the ASW608 instead. This cuts down the price somewhat, but not at the cost of general performance.
Indeed, the system is capable of plenty of bass and, as the surrounds feature the company's proprietary Nautilus tube-loaded tweeters, the top-end, such as dialogue, is as clean as a Chuckle Brothers stand-up routine. The system is also as adept with music as it is with movie-playback, and it creates a spine-tingling atmosphere during football action.
Oh, and it looks very tasty, to boot.
Onkyo TX-NR807
- type
- 9-channel AV receiver
- main feature
- Six HDMI inputs
- Price
- £600
It may be £150 more expensive than the Denon, and only have HDMI v1.3 inputs (six of them, mind), however the TX-NR807 represents phenomenal value - a trait of Onkyo amps per se. With 9-channels of amplification, at 185W per channel, it allows you to drive a mind-blowing 9.1 setup. And, like with the Denon, the inclusion of Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoding means that you can either introduce extra height or width channels to the front soundstage in order to blast yourself with ambience.
There's also THX Select2Plus certification which, when matched with a comparable speaker package, provides a clean chain of performance, ratified by the bods at George Lucas' own audio company.
- type
- 5.1 lifestyle speaker package
- main feature
- Uni-Q technology
- Price
- £1000
Not only do KEF's egg-style speakers look the business, they sound it too. This all-in-one home theatre system comes with a dedicated centre and provides a smooth listening experience, with a cunning grasp on high frequencies. In short, it's great for music, movie and sports viewing.
Additionally, the package benefits greatly from the adoption of the company's proprietary Uni-Q technology. It's a drive system that enables each speaker to blend seamlessly with each other, and ultimately create a full and bodied sound regardless of room shape or size.
Some might be put off by a pure white finish, but black and silver versions are also available for those with more conventional tastes.
Yamaha YSP-4100
- type
- Surround effect soundbar + in-built amp
- main feature
- 40 x 2W drivers, 2 x 20W woofers
- Price
- £1100
A soundbar is another option for those who want a home cinema experience, but don't have the space for surround speakers. And there are few bars better than Yamaha's YSP-4100.
Contained in the cabinet are 40 speaker drivers (and two subwoofers) which fire sound in beams to reflect off the ceiling or walls to create the effect of surround sound. Most other soundbars just present a front soundstage, but with Yamaha's range of sound projectors, you do get a tangible sense of being engulfed in audio.
In addition, the YSP-4100 houses its own amplifier, and offers three HDMI v1.3 connections (and several audio inputs) to add external sources. We advise partnering the bar with a separate subwoofer, as the bass it delivers is only okay, but in all other respects it's a great alternative to normal systems.
Also consider (if you're hideously rich)...
Although we've tried to recommend kit that doesn't cost the Earth, the amps and speakers above may seem pricey to some. Not as much as these though. If money was no object, we'd have these, no question...
Denon AVC-A1HDA AV receiver (£5100)
It may only have 7 channels of amplification and 150W per channel, but this is the Daddy of amplifiers my friend! THX Ultra2 certification and 1080p upscaling prowess a TV studio would be proud of, are just two reasons to drool over this bad boy. Its smorgasbord of connectivity and pure audio throughput are many others. AV porn.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals Horton on Peter King's list of hot assistants
You could argue that nobody is as dialed in to what happens in the NFL more than Peter King of Sports Illustrated.
Every week King issues his Monday Morning Quarterback column which is, quite simply, a must read for NFL fans everywhere.
But in the course of reading his 8,500-word epic, maybe missed the fact that King has listed his "top ten NFL assistants who will get sniffs for head coaching jobs in the league next year."
Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton showed up on the list — at number eight.
It's somewhat surprising that Horton is that low on the list. The St. Louis Rams interviewed Horton last offseason for their vacant head coaching job before choosing Jeff Fisher for the post.
And despite Arizona's current seven-game losing streak, Horton's defense has been the strong point of the team, ranking seventh in the league in yardage allowed and 11th in points allowed.
Interestingly, another familiar name appears on the list ahead of Horton. Former ASU head coach Dirk Koetter, now the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons, appears at number five.

Brown Deer - The Brown Deer School District went into lockdown twice Tuesday, first after a student mentioned a gun and later after neighbors reported hearing shots fired.
Per district safety protocol, the high school went into lockdown at approximately 9:35 a.m. after a staff member overheard a student remark that a gun was in the school. The staff member told administrators, who then contacted police.
Students were released back to class at 10:15 a.m. after school staff and Brown Deer police completed a search of the school and determined there wasn't a gun.
At approximately 2:55 p.m. Brown Deer police responded to a report of possible shots fired in the school-neighboring 8000 block of North 60th Street, prompting a second lockdown - this time of the entire district.
Officers on scene received conflicting statements over what type of sound was heard. Police later said there wasn't evidence on scene that the incident involved a firearm.
Superintendent Deb Kerr commented that after school busing and student pick up went smoothly after the lockdown ended at 3:35 p.m.
District administrators canceled all activities scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and evening.
'I wanted to make sure the police had the room they need,' Kerr said. 'I thought it would be good for everybody to go home, get a good night's sleep and come back ready to learn.'
School administrators and police are following up for disciplinary action regarding the morning incident, and the police department stated in a release that the investigation into the afternoon incident is ongoing.

The package will be missing the ear gliders, foam tips, and one or two tips because I can't find the bag that holds them.
Everything else is included.
I'll post pics as soon as I can.

It's about time you got the Alpha's, Jay!
They sound quite nice through that Burson you sent me!
It's about time you got the Alpha's, Jay!
They sound quite nice through that Burson you sent me!
brand spanking new owner here, i bought a pair used off the sale thread, and it arrived today.
so far, only a couple of hours head time, and i'm very impressed ! fast, detailed, clean !
i've heard only one closed headphone before, the akg 551, and didn't care for it a whole lot
not bad, just not my cup of tea.
the alpha is a whole other ball of wax for sure.
dan, i'm sure you've heard it before, but "ya done good !!"
disclaimer: these are first impressions, further thoughts i'm sure will follow, and evolve !
Plus 2...bout time.
every now and then, for some strange reason, i can be slow to change !
Just got a shipment notification and I ordered matte black. Ordered on 19th of feb.
Dan, you're a hard working CEO...
A 3.5mm cable is now available for the Alpha, they should ship early next week.
Nooooo... nah all good. would it be too late to switch to the 3.5mm. Also is it a srew version, ie to easily an securely screw into a 1/4 adapter?
Send me a PM with your order number and we can easily change it. It's not a screw tip, it's a nice Neutrick plug.
Finally I received my Alpha Dog, so far so good, the best headphone that I have ever had, so I am going to take a long break for a long time, but will be still watching this thread and this site to fill my knowledge more for the future audiophile gig. For how long? I do not know may be 5 or 10 years. Next time my future headphone that I want to purchase would be the best planar or electrostatic headphone. Time to work industriously to become rich to fulfill my wish. Nice and thank you Dan who made and many people in this thread to help of making one of the best close back headphones ever but still great bang for bucks.
Somehow I doubt you'll be away for that long. You'll be back way sooner. ;)
I just ordered Fiio E12 DIY , I believe it is a decent portable amp for Mad dog, it should be fine for Alpha Dog too I assume,
I am going to use this Amp with fiio X5 when it comes end of this month
hope this will give me a pretty decent portable set up.
The "doggie treats" video is up. If it's unclear in any way let me know...
I thought the alpha pads had some kind of twist to attach system.

Most of what we call "white wedding" has no legal significance, whatsoever, in this country. It is a mere ceremony.
There are only 2 types of marriage known to law in this country (Nigeria). These are:
1). Customary marriage
2). Registry marriage or court marriage.
Read Also: Be married before you do your wedding – Part 1.
There is no third type of marriage known to law. There is no other type of marriage apart from the two mentioned above.
Therefore, if you consider yourself married, you may wish to pause and ask yourself right now: what type of marriage am I into? Is it Customary or statutory or both?
Take note, though, that wedding in church does not necessarily make your marriage a registry marriage. Take note also that marrying in church does not necessarily make your marriage a monogamous marriage that can be legally enforced.
That said, it is pertinent to note that of the two types of marriage known to law, none is superior to the other.
Meaning that Customary marriage, just like registry marriage, is completely legal. You do not have to do anything else to further make it "more legal".
I say this because often times, you hear people who are married under native law and custom saying that the want to make their marriage legal. By this, they mean that they wish to contract "court marriage".
Let us now consider the differences between Customary marriage and "court marriage" (registry marriage):
(1) The main difference Is that while Customary marriage is potentially polygamous , registry marriage is strictly monogamous.
I said "potentially polygamous" because one can be married under native law and custom, but maintains only one wife all his life. There is no law or rule of custom that compels him to marry more than one wife.
However, should he choose to marry more wives, no one can stop him. The law of this country permits him to marry as many wives as he wants. It is in this sense that it is said that Customary marriage is potentially polygamous.
Registry marriage ("court marriage") on the other hand, compels monogamy. That is, parties to this type of marriage cannot marry anyone else for life, unless they go to court to dissolve the marriage.
Even if the wife or husband moves out for years, neither party can re-marry if the registry marriage is not dissolved by a high court.
Read Also: Tiwa Savage enters Beyonce's circle, signs deal.
Any marriage to another person during the pendency of a registry marriage (or should I say attempted re-remarriage), is a criminal offense called bigamy.
The point here is that as long as your spouse of registry marriage is alive, you cannot marry someone else, unless and until the marriage is dissolved by the high court of a state.

MOBILE, Ala. – We've been saying it for the past couple weeks, but once again and this time with feeling – the Bengals are not taking a quarterback in the first two rounds!!!
Now that we've gotten that out of the way again …
For those possibly looking at this week's Senior Bowl to see who might make a good backup for Andy Dalton, there are some options. Two are playing, while one is here doing everything but practicing.
The one who isn't practicing still drew a pretty good throng during interviews on Monday night, as Georgia's Aaron Murray said he is making great progress in coming back from his ACL injury.
"I just love football, I love being in meetings. Learning new things and getting new ideas about things I already know like route concepts, but it might be something we did at Georgia where they have a different twist on it," Murray said. "You take any opportunity to learn something new and work with these guys, NFL coaches. It would be silly for me not to take advantage and get better."
Murray, who was a Heisman contender at the beginning of the season, tore the ACL in his left knee against Kentucky on Nov. 23. He had surgery three days later and since then has been well ahead of the curve. He is going through rehabilitation with Dr. James Andrews in Florida.
He was on the elliptical machine six days after surgery and was doing some light running in the pool two weeks later. Murray said he hopes to be able to do dropbacks and throw in three weeks. The one thing he remains thankful about is that the injury did not occur on the leg where he plants to throw.
For Murray, coming back from major injuries in a short time span has been done before.
At Tampa's Plant High School, he suffered a broken left leg and fractured ankle in an October game his senior year and was back in two months to lead his team to a state title. Two years earlier he had a torn labrum and was back in nine months.
With the draft pushed back two weeks, Murray could take part in Georgia's pro day on April 16. His current projections due to the injury are late rounds, but he could move up depending on how the medical report comes back from next month's scouting combine and what he does at the pro day. All of this means he could be ready for a team's training camp in late July.
At Georgia, Murray set four Southeastern Conference career records and had 35 wins in 52 starts. He also has 27 school records, including 12 career marks.
Murray described the offense that Georgia ran as a mixture of everything. The one thing that NFL teams will like is he has plenty of experience of taking snaps under center.
"We're very diverse in what we do, and it's very beneficial to have experience in everything," he said. "A lot of the stuff we're going over this week is similar to what I ran at Georgia, but there's always a new take. You can always get some advice, plus meet with the coaches."
Considering the Bengals' run at Georgia players, especially in the third and fourth rounds, Murray could go as low as the fifth round. He has plenty of experience throwing passes to A.J. Green and went to the same high school as Orson Charles, so in some ways it could be a good fit.
"Seven guys from Georgia on that roster. It's unbelievable," said Murray when asked about the Bengals. "It's going to be interesting. You never know where you are going to end up."
Two others to watch are Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo and Clemson's Tajh Boyd.
Garoppolo got himself a roster spot after being the MVP of last week's East-West Shrine Game. He is known for having an efficient delivery, but also has been termed by some scouts as best suited for a West Coast style.
The one thing Garoppolo has received a lot of questions about is Tony Romo, since both went to the same school and Garoppolo broke most of Romo's records.
Boyd, who could go as early as round two, passed for 378 yards and five touchdowns in Clemson's 40-35 victory over Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. While he moves well in the pocket, there are questions about his accuracy and decision making. ?


text: MLK Parade Bomb Was 'Most Potentially Destructive' Official Has Ever SeenKyle VanHemert1/19/11 3:18pmFiled to: BlockquoteBombsMlkdayCrime671EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink On Monday, authorities located and defused a bomb left on an MLK parade route in Spokane, WA, later stating that it was "likely capable of inflicting multiple casualties." But an anonymous official suggests the device was capable of much worse. Hours before the MLK Day parade was to start, three city workers spotted the suspicious backpack, discovered wiring inside, and alerted police. The parade was rerouted and the area surrounding the backpack was shut off as authorities defused the bomb with a robot and, later, a hazmat team. Yesterday, the FBI confirmed that it was a "potentially deadly destructive device," but declined to describe the bomb in any detail. Advertisement Advertisement But one official, speaking anonymously to the AP, explained that the device, a sophisticated bomb with a remote detonator, had serious capacity for destruction:They haven't seen anything like this in this country...This was the worst device, and most intentional device, I've ever seen. A photo of the backpack that contained the bomb and two t-shirts that were also found insideSo that's really terrifying. The FBI doesn't have any suspects—they're offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest—and no one's claimed responsibility for the device as of yet. Thank God we found it.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone who has support Shashamne Sunrise in its projects
in Ethiopia during 2011 a Happy New Year and best wishes for 2012.
Next week, 12-19 January, a team from Shashamane Sunrise will visit Ethioia (Jan 12-16), Kenya (Jan16-17), Uganda (Jan17-18) on a Service Visit to our school in East Africa. We will visit nearly 2300 students in the five Shashamane sponsored schools: JRDC School in Shashamane Ethiopia (600), Senator Obama Primary & Secondary Schools (990) and Mutumbu Girls Secondary School (200) in Kogelo and Mutumbu Kenya and Ngora Okoboi Primary School (510) in Ngora Uganda.
Among the travelling part will be Shashamane Ambassador Ms Leah Marville, Miss Barbados 2009 and Shash Global Concert Series Artiste Simba Amani and musician Andrew "Blessed Love" Curtis.
In July 2011, Shashamane Ethiopia commenced Phase I of a two-phase project to construct security fencing around
the perimeter of the JRDC school (to protect students and staff as well as school property), construct a fence to separate the KG classes from the elementary school classes per new Ethiopian Board of Education regluations and
the construction of sanitation facilities, one for boys and one for girls, for the KG Class.
An individual donor appeal was launched to raise funds for this critical first phase of the overall infrastructure and capital improvements plan. The budget for Phase I is USD$2500. The project got underway on 11 July 2011 after the Kindergarten Graduation. The project has moved very rapidly since we started. The sanitation facilities were constructed first and the project was completed in September 2011. Our expectation is that Phase II of the project can be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
To see pictures from the groundbreaking please visit our Our Website or our Facebook Page.
The pictures below tell the overall story. Students now have access to sanitary facilities thanks to your help.
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

Lighting problem
I was very pleased to hear Colin Powell's speech at the Show Me Center. However, I was embarrassed that no one adjusted the lighting when Gen. Powell chose to move away from the podium. He spent most of the evening moving in and out of a shadow. Could no one working at the Show Me Center operate a spotlight?
Urban deer
Well the fish kissers and tree-huggers have gotten their petition signed and now we have to put up with the lice laden, flea carrying, tick spreading, yard damaging, car crashing deer for another year.
County commissioners
I don't know where the outrage is, but we were promised in Cape Girardeau County that if we passed the county sales tax that they would never, I repeat never, assess a county property tax. Well, that has turned out to be a huge lie. The big spending, out-of-control county commissioners must be voted out. I don't care what they say now, or who they are; they must go. We can't afford big spending liars for county commissioners.
I am not worried about the economy; it will recover as soon as the government stops trying to fix it. This election is a fork in the road. Do you want socialism or free market? For those of you who think Obama's socialism is a good idea, look at Greece. The root problem of socialism is that eventually the taxpayers get tired of giving their money to people who want the government to provide for everything in their life. When the government cart gets too loaded for the taxpayer horse to pull he won't pull anymore.
Stolen dog
Concerning the "stolen" dog issue at the Humane Society in Cape Girardeau: I think I heard on the TV news that the animals had been picked up as strays in a certain neighborhood. Were I investigating this, I would ask around that neighborhood until I found someone who knew to whom the dogs belonged, or at least who had seen them before. I am sure it was highly inconvenient and costly for the dogs' owners to pay the fine associated with the stray pickup and the tags that were needed to release the dogs; so cutting the fence was just cheaper and easier. Doesn't the human society have security cameras? If not, why not?
Scooter law
Why does Councilman Lanzotti want to make decisions for scooter operators? What sort of authoritarian uses the city government to coerce the law-abiding scooter-operators of Cape Girardeau into wearing helmets? Aren't the laws of the state restrictive enough? Apparently the city council doesn't think so.
Florescent vest
This is the first step in the right direction. There is something that would help drastically not only scooters, but motorcycles, bicycles and people that insist on using motorized chairs on public roadways. It is something that is cheap, very effective and is required in several other countries: a florescent vest. In several countries a neon green vest with reflective trim is required for these vehicles. As humans that drive, we are conditioned to look for other cars, but small vehicles tend to blend into the background. When a driver hits a person and says, "I never saw them," chances are, they are telling the truth. I am a former police officer and have logged several thousand miles in a car. I cannot count the numerous time I have almost turned someone into a hood ornament because I did not see them. Had they been wearing something that did not blend into the background, things would be different.

The most distsressing thing, however, is that the apple tree
against the boulder beside the drive looks awful. In places the bark
is split for
several inches, and in other places chunks of bark are peeling off.
My DH
says that since the tree is about 37 years old - we brought it from
the other
place when we moved here in 1970 - it has probably reached the extent
of its
lifespan. I hope he's wrong, because I don't think the extent of my
lifespan is
great enough to warrant starting another. I think it may be the
result of
the crazy winter - bitter cold in early December, mild the first week
January, then followed by another six weeks of bitter cold. I hope I
am not losing
this tree - don't know just what I would replace it with if I do.
The rock
face is about eight feet high at that point. There is a space of
about two
feet between the boulder and the edge of the drive. It widens out a
bit further
on, and there is an old 'New Dawn' rose climbing it. The back side of
boulder, where it tapers down is quite shady.
By the way, guara is treated like an annual in these parts - Zone 5.
