So, you just tapped a link in your friend's Facebook feed, and now your Android is asking you which app to use by default – YouTube, Chrome, or the built-in web browser.
Always?! Once!? What a decision! I mean, any one of these options should work (in one way or another), but what if you select "Always" and change your mind later? What if you don't want the built-in Android Internet browser to open all the YouTube links? What if you want to just use YouTube?
What then?
Simple – you reset your app defaults, so you get asked which app to use again!
It's easy!
Tap Settings>Application Manager – and tap on the app you want to reset the defaults for. I chose YouTube.
Once in the App info screen, scroll down until you see the Clear Defaults button and tap it.
Boom! Now anything that regularly opens the YouTube app will once again ask you which app you'd like to use… at least until you choose "Always" and select it as the default app again.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
We're not exactly sure when it started, but cute eateries setting up shop in old homes is a full-on phenomenon in central Phoenix. Coronado Café, Lisa G Wine Bar, Fate, Cibo, The Roosevelt Tavern they're all unique spots made even more appealing by the charming structures that house them. The latest to join in on this downtown trend is Palatte, a new breakfast and lunch destination that opened this summer in the William E. Cavness house. Constructed in 1914, the historically designated building has been beautifully maintained, such a rarity in a city where old and quirky places don't often avoid the wrecking ball. Whether we're feasting on scrambled eggs and griddle cakes in what we imagine is the old living room, or nibbling on a tart out on the patio, we can't help but think that spots like this are the perfect antidote to strip mall fatigue.
Don't get us wrong we adore the savory dinner options at Sweet O Wine & Chocolate Lounge. From cheeses and dips, served with excellent grilled bread from Simply Bread, to fresh salads and creative panini, there's plenty on the menu that we're happy to fill up on. But why try to save room for dessert when that's the star attraction of this sleek little eatery? Better to start off with exactly what you came for exotic chocolate pastries, chocolate fondue, chocolate hazelnut panini with crme fraîche and crispy hazelnuts, and petits fours galore. Once you get a glimpse of the chocolate treats in the display case, you won't be able to wait 'til after dinner to indulge. From macadamia toffee and milk chocolate caramel to fleur de sel truffles and butter ganache pralines, Sweet O can deliver your chocolate fix in just about any form you like. Even the eclectic wine selection is geared toward cacao consumption, with a generous selection of dessert wines and fortified wines. And if you'd rather let the experts guide your palate, pick one of the chocolate flights, where three different bonbons are paired with an appropriately decadent drink. Sweet O's proprietors say the "O" stands for "origine" (French for "origin," sort of the terroir of chocolate). But after flooding our brains with blissful endorphins and alcohol, all we feel is sweet oblivion.
We sure love hot chocolate, although in the warmer months (when we'll only drink iced lattes) we can hardly stand the thought of it unless it's Cowboy Ciao's unforgettable take on the classic cold weather treat, the Cuppa Red Hot Chocolate. Here, pastry chef Tracey Dempsey interprets it as a cool, utterly decadent dessert: a rich chocolate-cinnamon pot de crme that's almost as thick as fudge, served in an oversized cup fit for cocoa. The only thing "hot" about it is a froth of oozy chipotle cream on top perfect to scoop up with the spicy ginger cookie that comes with it. We'd happily splurge on a cuppa that any day, no matter the season.
We usually order dessert when we're out somewhere fancy, when the conclusion of a multicourse meal calls for something sweet to go with our after-dinner cup o' joe. But after lunch at a sandwich shop? Hardly ever unless we're at Bertha's Café, where it's a given. At this friendly, inconspicuous little eatery, desserts are impossible to resist, appealingly displayed in a big case right next to the front counter. From cookies and muffins to malted brownies, it's all good, but we're particularly fond of their rich, creamy, homemade cheesecakes. Sometimes it's actually hard to choose from the daily assortment of just-made mini-cakes, with creative concoctions like s'mores, baklava, and banana cream. Bertha's flavors are anything but plain Jane.
Check your guilt at the door. From buttery grits and mac 'n' cheese to the famous fried chicken served with a hot stack of waffles, everything at Lo-Lo's is stick-to-your-ribs delicious. So it only makes sense that dessert here would be a luscious affair, worth every calorie-laden bite. And, boy, does the red velvet cake deliver. One slice of this sweet, red-tinted chocolate cake slathered in buttery cream-cheese icing that we could just eat with a spoon is thick enough to feed two people. Still, we'd rather get one all for ourselves. We figure, if we're gonna blow our diet, we might as well do it with gusto.
We love olive oil drizzled on salads or soaked up with a soft piece of bread, but in dessert? Admittedly, the sound of olive oil cake turned us off at first. But we were very pleasantly surprised when curiosity got the better of us at radioMILANO, and now it's our favorite choice for sweet satisfaction at the end of the meal. Here, the thick slice of cake is so moist and velvety that it's hard to eat just a bite or two. It's served with a huge, smooth dollop of thickened cream (you'll never be able to eat Cool Whip again after tasting it) and a nice blob of blackberry jam, although we'd gladly eat it plain. And here's a word to the wise: Get your own piece. The rest of the menu might be full of shareable small plates, but when it comes to olive oil cake, we gotta look after ourselves.

Trace Adkins added to SeaWorld cancellations list
Listen to Trace Adkins on iHeartRadio
Trace Adkins won't be performing at SeaWorld Orlando as planned.
The "Orlando Sentinel" says the country star is the latest artist to pull out of the park's "Bands, Brew, & BBQ" concert series. He was scheduled to perform at the event on March 2nd. But a rep for Adkins says "Trace prefers that the focus of his performances be on music, not on controversy."
A number of stars, including Willie Nelson, Trisha Yearwood, and Martina McBride, have also cancelled SeaWorld shows in recent weeks.
The cancellations come in response to an online petition and Facebook campaign sparked by the documentary "Blackfish" about the 2010 incident in which an orca killed a SeaWorld trainer.

Regarding the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems
WHEREAS, the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) has issued a report, funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, concerning the relative efficiency of U.S. educational institutions; and
WHEREAS, the report concluded--incorrectly--that the University ranked second to last in the nation in terms of efficiency; and
WHEREAS, the publication of the report has caused damage to the University of Hawai'i's reputation and has undermined public support for funding higher education in Hawai'i; and
WHEREAS, The report has now been shown to have been based on erroneous data and unjustified assumptions; and
WHEREAS, given the long association and presumed familiarity of Dennis Jones and the NCHEMS with higher education in the State of Hawai'i, the mistakes made in the report were egregious and inexcusable; and
WHEREAS, previous reports by the NCHEMS, of which Dennis Jones was an author, made recommendations that were of doubtful internal consistency and were based on data inconsistent with that gathered by the University's own offices; be it therefore
RESOLVED, that the Faculty Senate of the University of Hawai'i at Manoa calls on the NCHEMS to issue a retraction of the entire study, and to publish a full page apology in the first section of all Hawai'i major newspapers; and
RESOLVED, that the Senate calls on the Pew Charitable Trusts investigate the errors committed by the NCHEMS; and,
RESOLVED, that the Senate calls on the University of Hawai'i to cease to retain Dennis Jones and to cancel all contracts and to enter into no new contracts with NCHEMS.Background for Resolution Regarding the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems

UH among lowest in per-dollar efficiency
It underperforms relative to the money it gets, a report says
By Craig Gima
The state is not getting much bang for its buck at the University of Hawaii, according to a new report from a national think tank.
The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems ranks the University of Hawaii as among the five lowest-performing higher education systems per dollar spent.
The report, funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at how much money is spent on higher education -- tax money, tuition and fees -- and compared it to performance on factors such as participation in higher education, graduation rates and success in acquiring competitive research funds.
The report, co-authored by Dennis Jones, president of the center and a consultant to the University of Hawaii, found states with low levels of funding for higher-education systems can perform just as well or better than states with relatively high levels of funding.
Hawaii was fourth from the bottom among lowest-performing states with higher levels of funding, ahead of Alaska, Maine and West Virginia, and behind Vermont.
The five highest-performing states relative to resources devoted to higher education are Utah, Massachusetts, Colorado, California and North Dakota.
The report suggests that while the debate over higher-education funding typically focuses on how a state compares with its peers in tax spending and tuition, it leaves out consideration of performance and affordability to students.
"An important interrelated issue that receives less attention is the ability of higher-education institutions to improve levels of performance with the resources they already have -- or with even fewer resources," the report states.
The study also looked at external factors and found that higher personal income and tax capacity and better college preparation in high schools had some influence on how well a state did.
However, the report noted that "there are higher-education sectors in some states that perform well with the resources available -- regardless of certain underlying conditions."
According to the study, four-year UH campuses produce the least bachelor's degrees relative to their student populations, with low numbers of degrees awarded within six years of high school graduation and per undergraduate. When the level of funding is considered, Hawaii ranks second to the last, ahead of Alaska in productivity.
While Hawaii attracts a fair amount of per capita research and development funds, it also spends much more per faculty member to bring in that money.
The University of Hawaii at Manoa's overall rating for public research institutions is second to last, ahead of only Vermont.
Community colleges are closer to the national norms in producing certificates, diplomas and associate degrees per 100 undergraduates and in students finishing within three years. However, Hawaii's level of funding to produce those degrees and certificates ranks the state 11th from the bottom in efficiency.
UH officials were not available yesterday to comment on the report.
A look at where Hawaii ranks lowest among the 50 states relative to spending:
» Number of undergraduates per 100 people aged 18 to 44 with a high school diploma.
» Number of undergraduate credentials awarded per 100 undergraduates.
» Ph.Ds per 1,000 degrees awarded.
» "Educational Pipeline" -- number of ninth-graders who graduate from high school on time, go directly to college, and graduate within three years for associate degrees and six years for bachelor's degrees.
» Bachelor's degrees awarded within six years of high school graduation.
» Bachelor's degrees per full-time equivalent undergraduate students.
» Overall index score for public research institutions.
» Overall index score for public bachelor's and master's institutions.

Revised report bumps UH to middle on efficiency ratings
By Craig Gima
It turns out the University of Hawaii and other post-secondary institutions here are more efficient than first reported by a national higher education think tank.
Last month, the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems ranked Hawaii near the bottom of a first-ever national report measuring the efficiency of community colleges and universities in the state.
The report compared outcomes like producing degrees, securing research funds and attracting students to college versus the amount of tuition, taxes and fees spent on higher education.
But UH officials questioned the findings, and at their request, the report's authors re-examined their assumptions about Hawaii and significantly revised their report.
Now, the group ranks Hawaii closer to the middle than the bottom -- 27th in the nation rather than 47th overall.
Authors Patrick Kelly and Dennis Jones, who is also a UH consultant, said they double-counted about $100 million in fringe benefits for UH workers when determining how much was spent on higher education.
They also used a lower cost-of-living differential -- estimating Hawaii's cost of living at 16 percent above the mainland average versus 51 percent, which the authors said more accurately reflects the average cost.
As a result, the funding for the public research sector here decreased to $16,901 from $25,282 per full-time student, putting the University of Hawaii 33rd in the nation for overall performance among research universities rather than 49th.
Hawaii also ranks 36th overall among public bachelor's and master's degree institutions.
The revised report shows UH does well in attracting research money to the state for the amount of money spent, Jones said.
But the state is still below average in getting students to pursue higher education and in graduating students once they get into community colleges and universities.
"It's gratifying to know for our funding we're not out of character with other higher-education efforts," Linda Johnsrud, the university's vice president for academic planning and policy, said yesterday.
But Johnsrud acknowledged that the revised report shows the university needs to do more to increase the number of graduating high school students who got to college and improve on their ability to graduate within six years.
"For the money we're getting, we're doing about average, and our goal is to do better," she said.
Where Hawaii ranks above average:
» Per capita research and development
» Research expenditures per full-time faculty
» Ph.D.s per 1,000 degrees awarded
Where Hawaii is below average:
» Bachelor's degrees awarded within six years of high school graduation
» Bachelor's degrees per full-time equivalent undergraduate students
» "Educational pipeline," the number of ninth-graders who graduate from high school on time, go directly to college and graduate within three years for associate degrees and six years for bachelor's degrees

Extract from a critique by Mary Tiles on the NCHEMS report of 2003
Other recommendations made in the Jones report seems to be internally inconsistent and possibly based on faulty data. His number of FTE students per FTE faculty at Manoa for 2000 is 8.3, which seems not to square with numbers in other available reports, e.g., 2001 undergraduate 14.41 to 1, and graduate 5.65 to 1 from a MAPS report.
The suggestions that enrollment growth should be steered toward campuses less expensive than Manoa, and that more efficiencies be sought by running large lower division classes ignore the fact Manoa is the only campus currently having the capacity to run such large classes, and even there capacity is limited by the nature of its physical plant.
If Jones is thinking of large distance delivered, or technology mediated lower division classes, this is inconsistent with his observations about the lack of preparedness of students coming from Hawaii high schools. Under-prepared students need more, and more face-to-face, attention than well prepared students. It is not clear that costs would be reduced by moving to a greater dependency on technology; many studies show this to be more expensive than traditional classroom instruction.
He also notes that improving retention is more cost efficient than increasing lower division enrollments. Increased retention requires making sure that there is not a large drop-out rate in lower division courses. Drop out rates are usually higher in large classes and in distance delivered classes.

West Nile virus (WNV) is most commonly transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. You can reduce your risk of being infected with WNV by using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing to prevent mosquito bites. There are no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent WNV infection. Fortunately, most people infected with WNV will have no symptoms. About 1 in 5 people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms. Less than 1% of infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, neurologic illness.

How much do we really know about "down there"?
-Jane Farrell
Vajayjay. Lady bits. Lady parts. Yeah, we're pretty good at giving our genitals cutesy names. But some of us aren't all that aware of what actually goes on in that area of our body, and we're not thrilled with the way society thinks about the vagina (to use an uncool term).
According to a survey of 1,600 women, a fair number of us still believe some myths about vaginal health: Thirty-one percent think you can't get pregnant if you have sex during your period, and 37 percent are convinced you can lose a tampon inside your vagina. Even more of a wow statistic: 27 percent of women had no idea what was happening when they got their first period.
Read 7 Things You've Got to Know About Birth Control
The survey, conducted by Kotex, also found a surprising number of women still feel ashamed when it comes to discussing their vaginal health—a term that covers a number of issues, including menstruation, gynecological cancers and sexually transmitted diseases.
A majority of the women surveyed believe that they're supposed to keep those issues to themselves, and about a quarter think that women who do discuss down-there are seen as weird, dirty or promiscuous. No surprise, then, that 60 percent of women get their information about vaginal health from the Internet, while only 30 percent discuss issues with friends. And when they do talk about it with friends, the respondents said, it's more likely to be "humorous": in fact, nearly half are most comfortable using slang words to discuss their vagina (vajayjay, anyone?).

I have tried search on google for this one but don't know what to search for.
This is a GUI on *unix that will, in a mitm attack, redirect victimB msn conversation to you and you could chat with him without him notice anything.
Is this something anyone recognize?
Best regards TF!
Edit; I have set up a network, 3 computers with wlan access. 2 computers (victimA & victimB) are chatting using Msn messenger.
The third computer (thief) will the doing an mitm attack and make victimB's conversation redirect to thief and he then continue the chat without no one notice anything excepts victimA how never get any answer.
Also forgot to say that if there chatting using each others webcam you cold see it as a streaming movie.

Last Minute Halloween Costumes: Shop Your Closet!
If you are looking for a last minute Halloween costume idea, follow these tips in rummaging through your closet and putting together a Halloween Costume in minutes.
Every year, my plan is to finally – finally – get it together and whip up some amazing, inventive (and likely labor-intensive) costume…and every year, October 31st rolls around and I end up rummaging through my closet in search of some random items that I can transform into fun (and hopefully unique) last minute Halloween costumes.
My favorite last-minute Halloween costume (so far) was one I put together two years ago, when my husband and I dressed as Atreyu and the Childlike Empress from The Neverending Story. The costumes were a big hit with everyone at the party we attended (or at least everyone who grew up in the '80s), and all they took was a brown shirt, black pants, and black boots for him, and a white nightgown and crystal necklace draped across the forehead for me.
With a little imagination, you'd be surprised at the great costumes that are already sitting right there in your closet, waiting to be assembled!
Here's a quick list of 10 easy last-minute Halloween costumes you probably have on hand and ready to rock.
Gypsy: Start with the base of a long skirt, a peasant blouse, and a fringed shawl, and add tons of jewelry and floaty layers in as many colors as your closet holds. Scarves, hoop earrings, and wrap belts are all great additions.
Morticia Addams: (works better if you have dark hair or have access to a long, dark wig): Pour yourself into a floor-length black dress, add a black shawl, and do up your face with white paint, smoky eyes, and blood-red lips.
Audrey Hepburn: Have a chic black cocktail dress? Add a string of pearls, an updo, and some cat-eye sunglasses, and you're done. If you have a crystal brooch or tiara, try affixing it to the base of the updo for extra sparkle.
Hippie: You know how to do this one: bellbottoms, fringe, psychedelic colors, platforms, and some drawn-on lower lashes a la Twiggy.
Jane Fonda: If you're brave enough to hit up a party in spandex, this look is super-simple: just pair the brightest leotard and tights you own (preferably in contrasting colors) with leg warmers, sneakers, and a sweatband.
'90s Grunge Rocker: Throw on an oversized plaid shirt and ripped jeans, add a guitar and disaffected look, and you might as well be Kurt Cobain.
Tourist: Pair a Hawaiian shirt with some shorts, a fanny pack (come on, you know you've got one laying around somewhere), sunglasses, a camera, a guidebook, and a confused expression.
Cowboy/Cowgirl: Do you have jeans and a plaid shirt? Then you're halfway there. All you need to add are Western-style boots, a cowboy hat, and a bandanna, and you're ready to rodeo.
Glam Rocker: Pair your tightest pants with your highest heels, add a ripped-up tee and a studded belt, and paint your face with every glittery makeup product you own.
Britney Spears: Britney's had so many classic looks, from "…Baby One More Time" schoolgirl to "I'm A Slave For You" sexpot to her ripped-shorts-and-Uggs stage, you're sure to find something in your closet that speaks to your inner Spears.

Ah now I get it; a brain injury, of course!
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." - Hunter S. Thompson
When I was 14, my appendix ruptured. I was in the hospital for 5 days hooked up to a IV drip, with no food or water, waiting for my cardiologist to get back from his holiday so that I could be operated on.
The cardiologist was needed as I had recently been diagnosed with having Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. We found that out after I collapsed and the fell down a full flight of stairs. Luckily I had only broken my nose & my elbow in 3 different places, as well as needing to have my head glued/stapled shut & and a chunk of glass removing from my hand.

Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs)
TxDOT is committed to utilize Texas natural resources and help reduce our nation's dependency on foreign oil supplies by maintaining an alternative fuel vehicle fleet. The 1992 Environmental Protection Act defines alternative fuels as the following:
Decrease Dependence on Foreign Oil
In fiscal year 2010, our fleet of approximately 2,321 alternative fuel vehicles helped reduce gasoline consumption by 302,000 gallons. Of those 2,321 vehicles, 918 run on propane and 130 are hybrid. We also have almost 1,229 flex fuel vehicles, which run on either gasoline or ethanol. Some of the department's diesel-powered vehicles can utilize biodiesel.
We continue to increase our use of solar-powered traffic-control devices, such as flashing arrow boards and message boards, rather than gasoline or diesel-powered devices to further reduce the use of foreign oil.
Comply with Environmental Laws
Clean Diesel - We implemented the use of cleaner-burning diesel in accordance with a required state environmental plan two years ahead of schedule.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell - The Texas Legislature authorized us to study the possibility of using hydrogen-fueled vehicles in our fleet. We developed a plan which included analyzing the costs involved, identified funding options and determined the overall benefits of using hydrogen-fueled vehicles.

Sutton receives dean's award for teaching
Posted on April 26, 2012 in Clinical Research, Faculty
Beth Sutton, PhD, assistant professor of clinical research, was recognized by Dean Ronald Maddox with the 2012 Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching at Campbell University's Senior & Faculty Awards Banquet on April 25 at the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center.
Joining the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences in 2010, Sutton has quickly become known for her quality teaching in both the bachelor's and master's clinical research programs.

Dr. Goodword wrote:• aestivate •
Pronunciation: es-tê-vayt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, intransitive.
Meaning: 1. Spend the summer, to summer somewhere. 2. To spend the summer in a dormant state (antonym of hibernate). Bears hibernate through the winter to avoid the seasonal severity; desert amphibians aestivate in the summer for the same reason.
Notes: You may, if it pleases you, omit the initial A in today's Good Word: estivate is as good as aestivate. The ae ligature (æ) is a hold-over from Latin, probably indicating the same pronunciation as the A in bat ([bæt] in our pronunciation guide). The act of aestivating is aestivation and a more Latiny adjective for adjectival summer or summery is aestival. Aestival also forms a seasonal group with hibernal "winter(y)", autumnal "fall(-like)", and vernal "spring(-like)".
In Play: Does summer in the phrase, "I summer on the Côte d'Azur," strike you as beneath the dignity of Côte d'Azur—and the amount of money you spend there? Then try, "I aestivate each year on the Côte d'Azur" and impress your friends even more. If your school is out for the summer but you are the only one of your clique without a job, impress them with, "I will be aestivating this summer." Of course, unless you can aestivate on the Côte d'Azur, you should keep looking for a job.
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from Latin aestivare "to summer somewhere" from aestas "summer" with the same root as aestus "heat". Akin to Sanskrit inddhe "it ignites", Greek aithos "fire", and Old High German eiten "to heat", which gave Modern German Hitze "heat." The same Proto-Germanic root that produced German Hitze came up heat in English. (Speaking of which, we hope Katy Brezger keeps up the heat on finding words like today's for our Good Word series.)
Here's it's previous history:

Unfortunately, the masses are too dumbed down through all of the deliberately-placed poisons in our air, food and water to see or understand what is going on right under their very noses. Thus, I admire your effort, but as I have found out, trying to enlighten others is an exercise in futility. Anyway, it is beyond obvious that there is an earnest agenda underway to stir up and divide the U.S. citizens. [/quote] I agree completely, keep us divided and they win. Race, sexual preference, religion, gender, political party, poor, rich, and we all fall for it every time. We are not blind, and we are not children, of coarse we are all different, but people need to celebrate those differences. If our differences are used against us, it will destroy us, if our differences are used against them, it will destroy them. [/quote]
Original Message
It's hard to believe, but it is true, that as of right now, Black men are being whipped up into a frenzy over the Trayvon Martin case. There slave masters are the ones doing it. Obama and the media are really whipping up anger across the entire country, and most of it is fabricated out of thin air and used against a group of people who aren't even bothering to sit down and read the facts for 2 seconds.
This is so fabricated, and for the longest time, I thought it was to hide the real issues going on, after all you think this would have been the response to the entire nation being spied upon by the NSA, or perhaps the outrage over the premeditated murder of an American citizen by drone attack, that was carried out by the President against a minority person of color (Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a 16-year-old born in Denver). This proves that the media can control your anger and outrage over large issues, while making something out of nothing. They are selecting the issues of discussion, and this one takes the cake, because it has even started bleeding over into alternative media sources who are given little choice but to play their game and give a rebuttal and insert common sense where there is none.
The fact that this is the main story for weeks and weeks, and protests were being organized by the justice department down in Florida, is amazing. This is the same justice department led by Eric Holder, in contempt of Congress (brainwash the public to hate guns), Holder who is angry about a Hispanic kid that had a gun, while just last year was caught covering up the hand over of guns to the Mexican drug cartel, or refuses to investigate HSBC for the laundering of their money through the drug cartels, but oh no, what deserves another looking into? President Obama's Mini me long lost son, who is in fact now the President himself 30 years ago. While Martin Luther King had a dream, Obama just suffers from delusions of a son he never had, and then becoming that son.
The fact that the media with all that is going on, including the US wanting to arm al-Queda (organ eating monsters) in Syria while the TSA is still searching little children and grannies, the Benghazi event, the IRS Scandal, the NSA revelations, The media spying scandal, Obama wanting a blood sample from every American (aids testing) by executive order.
No, none of that is important, instead we are talking about a Hispanic kid who was a neighborhood watchman, who got his face and head pounded in by a black kid, and the black kid ended up getting shot. Somehow, I'm really not clear at this point because it defies common sense, it has been turned into a racial hate crime against the white race who wasn't even represented at the crime scene. Yet we have a cry for the entire black population across the entire country to stand up and protest and threaten to riot against a racist nation?
In short Obama cares nothing about the black man. If he did, the blacks wouldn't have the highest unemployment, and he wouldn't be so busy destroying jobs right now. If he truly wanted the black race to be proud and strong, he wouldn't want them all dependent on the government and the collective for their very survival. He would be trying to rebuild the black family unit, instead of letting the Government reward a single mother with six kids who doesn't need a daddy for any of them, because her daddy is the State. He wouldn't have made them the most vulnerable of all races in the United States right now should the entire financial system, and law and order fall apart.
Make no mistake there is an agenda here.
1. Was it to take attention away from serious crimes of the administration?
2. Maybe to possibly whip up riots and crimes across the country in order to institute martial law to keep the order, his orders, so they can use 1.7 billion rounds of ammo, or possibly get to take their MRAV armored vehicles out onto the streets to maintain control as their financial system is collapsing?
3. Could it be to ready the black people to riot after he is impeached?
I don't pretend to know the answers, but one has to step back and ask themselves why this non event crime has been televised for months now, and is more important than the financial crisis, the wars, the lying and lawlessness, and the insane weather going on around the world where thousands are dying every week. Why this, why now?
Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was murdered at the push of a button without trial, or without due process. It was premeditated and carried out by Obama. Obama, if you had a son would he look like Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, if you were thirty years younger would you look like Abdulrahman al-Awlaki? Imagine for 5 seconds that the media showed the exact same outrage, or gave this wall to wall coverage day and night in every paper for months. We would be discussing the killer of children that sits in the White house. I guess it's different because he sits in an oval office, and has a flag and a fancy outfit. I guess title allows for the killing of citizens without trial. Further proof that the constitution no longer stands, because there was no due process. Obama acted as judge, jury, and executioner. Now we have 30,000 drones to fly over the United States, and all the while, he sits back and laughs at all of us.
Stop being sheep! You are literally, and I say this without any reservations being brainwashed. No wonder the majority of people no longer trust the mainstream media, and no longer have any respect trust, or consent for what is taking place in Washington. It is truly a production, a stage, a put on, a fabrication of events for your entertainment, and to control you.

Post subject: HakeemTheDream's FINAL Mock Draft (4/22)
The draft is almost here. I had to come out with one more mock draft before, and I've been working on this for a week or two so it's extensive. It's got all key attributes, comparisons, videos, as well as my comments. Most of the people I chose have very obscure round projections, so it could be off, but every year I see all kinds of players fall that I never thought would happen in mocks (Lamar Miller, Bobbie Massie last year for example). Comments/Critique welcome! Enjoy...
1. Cornellius "Tank" Carradine
Defensive End
Florida State
276 lbs.
Forty Time:

Aldon Smith (SF)

vs. NC State (2012)
vs. Wake Forest (2012)
vs. Duke (2012)
vs. USF (2012)
After Saturday's workout, I'm officially onboard with Tank being the Giants first pick at 19. He is working through an Adrian Peterson-like recovery from a torn ACL where he is already running full speed less than six months after the injury occured. In fact, he is actually in Houston doing his rehabilitation with the same people that Adrian Peterson did his rehabilitation with. Tank is a great story, with a familiar career path. He's a JUCO transfer with only one year of starting experience in D1 college football. While he played opposite Bjeorn Werner, who is considered the better prospect of the two, he ended up receiving the majority of the double teams by year's end. He's extremely explosive and has an unrelentless motor. Uses his hands well and maintains leverage. Doesn't have the ideal experience for a first rounder, but his array of pass-rush moves and his tape doesn't lie. He needs to work on his defensive against the run, but with 80+ tackles last year, he isn't really too vulnerable in that area. I think Tank is the perfect player to line up opposite JPP for the future of this defense. Both are very similar in terms of motor and explosiveness. Making a risky pick like Tank in round one could turn out to be a gem for the Giants. He'd be considered the best overall pass rusher in the class if not for the injury. Luckily, the Giants are deep at DE already, so Tank can play a limited role in his rookie season in order to re-gain the necessary strength in his knee. Just think of the JPP/Tuck/Kiwi/Tank rotation. Nasty. Gonna bring fear in offenses going against the Giants.
2. D.J. Hayden
191 lbs.
Forty Time:

NFL Comparison:
Janoris Jenkins (STL)
Video Clips:
Ultimate Highlights
vs. UCLA (2012)
vs. Tulane (2011)
vs. Penn State (2011)
NFL Dream Kept Alive (Injury Info)
One major injury risk in the first, and an even more major injury risk in the second. Hayden almost completely ruptured a vein going to his heart, which has a 95% fatality rate. Luckily, everything worked out for Hayden and he is cleared for football activities. After running a 4.33 at his pro day, it's easy to assume he is back in football shape. He is fast, quick, and explosive breaking on the ball. Can play outside and in the slot, if needed. Has experience playing off-man, press-man, and zone coverage. He plays much tougher and stronger than his size indicates. Great tackler who is willing to get dirty in the run game. He wraps up instead of using his shoulder, which many CBs have a tendency to do. Wins many jump balls and has great recovery speed. Used on a ton of blitzes and college. Has a knack for creating big plays and turnovers in crucial moments. He is somewhat undersized, but he plays bigger than he looks. Luckily, the Giants have a big corner in Prince who can go against the Brandon Marshall-type players in the NFL. Hayden would be the future CB opposite Prince on this defense, with Hosley in the slot. Hayden wouldn't have to play much his rookie year with all of the depth at CB (Webster, Prince, Hosley, Ross). This will allow Hayden to get comfortable in the NFL. This kid is going to be a star, as long as he can get over the life-threatening injury that occured. A Hayden-Prince duo would be lethal with the pass rush generated by the re-vamped defensive line. He's a great story, as well as a great player.
3. Dallas Thomas
Offensive Guard
300 lbs.
Forty Time:
Bench Press:
NFL Comparison:
Marshal Yanda (BAL)
Video Clips:
vs. Alabama (2012)
vs. Florida (2012)
vs. South Carolina (2012)
vs. Alabama (2011)
vs. NC State (2012)
Another prospect, another possible injury concern. I didn't mean for this to happen, but didn't realize that Thomas had surgery for a shoulder injury suffered during the Senior Bowl. He will be ready in time for the start of the season. Thomas is exactly what Reese loves with his offensive linemen, he's extremely versatile. He played LT, LG, RG, and RT in college. He projects as a LG or RT in the NFL. He's got great balance and excellent agility. Anchors well, and also does a great job getting to the second level on running plays. Natural knee-bender, which is crucial for offensive linemen. Can be utilized on pulls quite often. The biggest asset he has is his extensive experience against SEC opponents. He went against the best players that college has to offer and held his own, starting three consecutive seasons without missing a game. He had to deal with great players like Jadaveon Clowney and Melvin Ingram, but was never exposed. He does a great job of getting his opponent to the ground. Very good pass protector who can use his balance and arm extension to keep pass rushers away from getting their hands on him. Relentless motor. Has a vicious first punch. His foot-speed is probably too slow to play LT in the NFL. Needs to add more bulk and strength to be able to combat NFL defensive linemen. Overall, he is a very balanced player. He pass protects as well as run blocks effectively. I see him starting at LG once Boothe leaves, but can play anywhere on the line in case of injury. Could also be a future replacement for Chris Snee at RG if he eventually retires.
4. Shawn Williams
Strong Safety
213 lbs.
Forty Time:
Bench Press:
NFL Comparison:
Shaun Williams (NYG)
Video Clips:
Ultimate Highlights
vs. South Carolina & Ole Miss (2012)
vs. Nebraska (2013)
Don't worry, this guy is healthy and can come in and contribute from day one, if given the opportunity. Williams reminds me of the former Shaun Williams that played for the Giants in the early 2000s. Williams was over-shadowed by teammate Bacarri Rambo, who was more recognizeable because of his splash plays. Williams is the more complete safety. He's a natural leader who isn't afraid to call out his teammates. Very physical, and has tons of experience playing in-the-box. More athletic than his tape indicated. Does a great job with gap-control as well as blitzing off the edge. Has a knack for making plays in the backfield. Tenacious tackler who can get onto highlight reels with his wrap-up tackles rather than lowering the shoulder/helmet. Played a lot of single-high and two-deep coverages at Georgia, so he is experienced in every aspect of safety play. Reads the QBs eyes well and does a good job breaking on the ball. Is going to make WRs think twice before going over the middle to catch a pass. Does a good job of separating the ball from the receiver. Has some trouble shedding blocks from offensive linemen. Doesn't have great ball skills, and is never going to be a turnover-machine. Isn't agile enough to consisently play man-to-man coverage on RBs and TEs. I think Williams can contribute in the 3rd safety role from day one. He would provide excellent depth right away and could be groomed into the potential SS for the Giants defense of the future. He has much more potential than both Sash and Mundy. Would be an excellent pickup in the 4th round in a very deep safety class.
5. Jordan Mills
Offensive Tackle
Louisiana Tech
316 lbs.
Forty Time:
Bench Press:
NFL Comparison:
Andre Smith (CIN)
Video Clips:
vs. Texas A&M
Bleacher Report Interview
Mills is the typical late-round offensive tackle prospect who Reese loves because of their high-upside. Mills has the perfect size and power combo to become a solid RT in the NFL. He is not an immediate starter, but he could provide immediate depth and both tackle and guard until he is coached up on his flaws. Mills plays whistle-to-whistle and is always hustling to get his hands on the next defender he sees. Knows the position well. Does a great job selling play-action passing plays, which are a staple in the Giants offense. He is also quick to recognize stunts and knows how to recover to stop the stunting defender. His lower-body strength is phenomenal, which helps him anchor as well as cut defenders off who are quick to get around him. Has good balance which helps with sealing defenders off from the ball carrier or QB. Very coordinated and can hold his own in pass protection. He needs to refine his mechanics. His aiming points on blocks is inconsistent. Has a problem with being flagged for holding calls because of bad hand placement. Doesn't have a quick first step, which is why he has no chance at LT in the NFL. Can be beaten instantly off the snap if he can't get his hands on the defender. Lunges too often at defenders. Mills is quality depth and a solid player who the coaches can work with to hopefully become the eventual RT for the Giants offense. He's got all of the physical attributes, motor, and awareness to be a starter in the NFL. He just needs to refinement on his technique to become a valuable contributor along the offensive line.

Here it comes, the late round LBs that Reese loves to take a chance on. First up, Kevin Reddick. I've always been a huge Reddick fan since his early days at UNC, but he never seemed to really elevate his play as he got more experience in college. He played in the middle of a 4-3 defense at UNC, but he was used as much more. He played snaps at SLB and DE, and was used extensively as a blitzer. He's very intelligent and a hard-worker who always fulfills his assignments. Not a freelancer, doesn't take false steps. Good awareness of the offense and has a tendency to beat the ball carrier to the hole. Works well in crowded environments. Uses his quickness rather than block shedding ability to get by offensive linemen. Good tackler who wraps up often instead of going for the big hit. Shows good flexibility when pass rushing on the edge. Sets the edge on running plays which causes the ball carrier to go back inside. Not a sideline-to-sideline guy, but has great short area closing burst. Breaks down quickly on ball carriers to prevent cutbacks and juke moves. Experience playing both zone coverage and man-to-man on TEs. Doesn't excel in coverage, but it is not a weakness. Great A-gap blitzer. Doesn't have the ideal size and can't maintain leverage in the running game. Sometimes too over-aggressive when shooting gaps. Lacks recovery speed. Had stamina issues in college, but he should be used as a two-down LB in the Giants scheme. I think he could start right away in the middle, but the Giants don't do business like that. He looks like the two-down middle linebacker of the future to me.

Back-to-back linebackers, but Jenkins offers a much different skillset. Jenkins may not be a three-down linebacker either, but he would play the last two downs, not the first down. Jenkins has an extensive injury history, which is why he is dropping so far in mock drafts. He played WLB in college, and that is his best fit in the NFL also. He's got very good speed, and has the sideline-to-sideline ability that Reddick lacks. Jenkins can probably play all three LB spots if he improves in the NFL. Great burst and a fantastic athlete. Works well in pursuit of the ball carrier. Does a good job wrapping up on tackles. Great blitzer, but even better in coverage. His coverage ability is his best trait, much like Jacquian Williams. He can cover RBs and TEs consistently because of his fluid hips and uncanny ability to locate the ball. He's an extremely reliable tackler who can diagnose plays well and was a leader at Florida. His biggest problem is lack of size and injury conerns. He's had surgery on both his hand and foot, as well as a lingering hamstring injury. He needs to add strength to become an everydown player in the NFL. Has trouble disengaging blockers when they get their hands on him. Doesn't use his hands well, which is why he has trouble shedding blocks. I see him being a valuable contributor on special teams right away and can be a sub-player to help in coverage. He could potential be a starter in the NFL, but he needs to prove he can stay on the field and be effective when he gets his opportunity. Backup to Jacquian Williams this year with potential to be a starter in the future.

I love Spencer Ware. He has that "it" factor that you look for in RBs. He's a violent runner who looks for contact. Has good patience and vision to find the right lanes. Runs through arm tackles with ease. Explosive first step and decisive runner. Gets going quickly which makes it tough for defenders because of his momentum. Downhill runner who won't run east-west. Underrated elusiveness and has change-of-direction ability. Waits for his blocks to be set up before exploding through the hole. Ideal back for short-yardage and goalline situations. Runs low and gets his pad level down to fit into small creases. Natural strength that can push a pile, if necessary. Is going to break a lot of tackles in the NFL. His running style wears down defenses. Fights for every yard he can get. Solid hands and is a capable blocker. Is a finisher on his runs, and defenders will hate tackling him. Has great balance to recover after contact. He is a YAC monster. He's had problems with playing time at LSU, as well as character issues. He failed a drug test and has been overweight. He isn't explosive, but has solid speed. Tends to get too upright sometimes. His running style isn't going to hold up for awhile in the NFL. Might only get four good years out of him. I think he is the perfect complement for David Wilson. Ware can do the work on short-yardage situations which is Wilson's weakpoint. Good change-of-pace back that can wear down the defense for Wilson to bust a long gain. He might not get much playing time early, but if he is motivated, he will be a steal in the 7th round.

First of all, this format is fantastic. Nice work.
As for the mock, rounds 1-2 really can't get any better. Like at all.
I just feel like LB will be a pick sooner rather than later...even Ogletree in the first.

Food Fun Friday: Mexican Love
If you like Mexican food, raise your hand.
*raises hand*
I hope every single one of you reading this post has your hand raised right now. Because 1.) If you don't, what kind of monster are you? (I don't even want to know) and 2.) I'm about to blast all ya'll with some mouth-watering pictures.
Whether it's tacos, nachos, burritos, enchiladas or just a simple chips n' guac, there is something so beautifully simple and satisfying about vegan Mexican food.
I'm a simple girl (*cough* just don't ask my ex-boyfriends) who likes simple fare. Give me a corn tortilla, beans, avocado and cilantro, and I'm happy. You can get fancy and throw in jalapeños, cabbage, nutritional yeast, hot sauce, fakey melty cheese, pico de gallo, or spinach, and I'm an even happier girl. Just don't put rice in the mix, I'll glower at you.
Here's some of my favorite dishes:
homemade jackfruit carnitas tacos
Nachos from El Nutri, my favorite vegan Mexican food in Portland. (Ordered with refried beans instead of black beans, because let's be honest: pinto beans are the bomb.)
Green Taco from El Nutri, with a side of fresh jalapeños
Tri-colored chips and bean salsa from Beaches Restaurant in Vancouver WA (Why was I at Beaches in Vancouver? Don't ask.)
A build-your-own spread at Who Song and Larry's in Vancouver Wa. Nothing vegan on the menu, but you can annoyingly build your own meal. They love us there.
Homemade enchiladas. Half with olives, half without (the roomie doesn't like olives; she calls them 'the devil's eyeballs')
Slightly blurry pic of enchiladas. My hands were shaking in anticipation, probably.
Green Taco and Potato Taco from El Nutri
Homemade tacos
Tortillas and guac from Gracias Madre in San Francisco
Tacos from Gracias Madre in San Francisco
Nachos from El Nutri
Nachos from El Nutri (Instagram Pic)
CHIMICHUNGA from El Nutri. Oh, yes I did go there!
I gotta include this one. This is Amber's award-winning dessert burrito from 2011.
The description, from her blog:
Warm cinnamon and chili apples wrapped in a cinnamon sugar glazed tortilla, topped with vanilla So Delicious ice cream, drizzled with homemade dulce de leche (HOLY SHIT.) and sprinkled with coconut.
What are some of YOUR favorite Mexican dishes, recipes and restaurants?

It's lace tying the knot with social media.
Something old, something new. That's the theme of the Snohomish Wedding Tour on June 2.
It fits with the trend, said Zerlinda Lochtie, whose Laineemeg Bridal shop at 1212 First St. in Snohomish is among 18 venues on the self-guided tour in the picturesque river town.
"People want straps and sleeves," Lochtie said. "It has a bit of the vintage romantic appeal to it."
Brides are finding what they like the new-fashioned way, through Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter and blogs.
For many brides, a Pinterest board is the virtual wedding planner.
"It's huge," Lochtie said. "They can plan an entire wedding through pictures. They make a board. It's a visual resource, and it's free. It's a never-ending fountain of ideas."
It doesn't replace wedding professionals; rather, it complements what they do.
"They typically come in with their board on their phone or iPad and show us what they're interested in," Lochtie said. "It gives us a better vision of what the overall look is. We find styles to match their vision."
About 100 wedding industry pros will be on hand at the venues to talk about everything from garters to honeymoons.
Guests can taste treats from caterers, smell the flowers, listen to deejays' playlists and walk down the aisles.
This is the launch year for Green Gates at Flowing Lakes, a former equestrian farm that's now a wedding venue with a Tuscan flair.
The 2.5-acre waterfront spread is owned by Shoreline firefighter/EMT Kerry Horner and his wife, Debbie, a Snohomish County Superior Court clerk.
The 12-by-12-foot groom's cabin was reconstructed using 100-year-old hand-sawn logs. The bridal cottage is an original horse barn decked with Victorian frills.
The Snohomish Wedding Tour is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m June 2 at 18 venues in Snohomish. Registration at the Snohomish Center, 506 Fourth St., starts at 10:30 a.m. Admission is $5 for the self-guided tour. For more information, go to www.mysnohomishwedding.com.
Tour tips
- Bring color swatches.
- Bring a smartphone or tablet to take photos to upload to Pinterest or Instagram with a hashtag of the venue or business, so you'll remember where that table setting and cupcake you loved was from.
- Print labels with your contact information so you won't have to write it down at every table you visit.
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- Bring your fiance.
Couples are encouraged to use social media for this event:
Facebook: Facebook.com/SnohomishWeddingTour
Twitter: @MySnohomishWed; use hashtag #snohomishweddingtour.
Instagram: Use hashtag #snohomishweddingtour.

Slide Sight on a RecurveBow
Hi Volks,
Since February this Year I'm Shooting a 68" Recurve Bow (Cartel Fantom) on Fita Target. And I'm living in Germany. So since Bowhunting is Forbidden here and most of the 3D Target Archers are going on Instinctive Shooting there are not much people i can talk to with the Problem i'm facing. Like six weeks ago i startet to go through some 3D Parcours. And it's way more fun than standing in front of a Target. But with my Large Bow and the Long Stabilizer its hard to go through the Trails an stuff- you know what i mean. So here i'm looking for a Hunting Bow. I would like to have a Compound Bow but i cant afford the one im looking on right now. So i decided to buy a Hoyt Dorado. But as im used to shoot with the Sight on my usual Recurve i also want a Sight on the Dorado. And i would like to use a Sliding Sight like the Vital X Star Trax or Optimizer Lite Ultra. But i Realized, that the Adjusting Range is mostly limited to 2" or less. I guess these Sights are ment to use only on fast shooting Compound Bows. So does any of you guys have a Sight like them on a Recurve bow? Is there a Sight besides the Sure-Loc Sportsman special that comes with a Range in 2,5" ? Or has any of you guys a Sight like this on a Recurve bow?
Regard from Germany - Florian

Wish I had a solution for you. But I know of no slider type sight for recurves. Spot-Hogg makes a bracket that drops (or raises) any sight a 1/2 inch if that help,. which may alow you to use one of the sights you mentioned.
In my neck of the woods a sight on a recurve puts you in the same class as a compound anyway. In my opinion I would look at the recurve target sights even though they are'nt sliders, but screw adjustment sights. I've shot a 64" recurve for a few years in 3d, never has the lenth of the bow been a problem. I don't think you need a shorter bow. Mabey lose the long stabalizer for a shorter one.
I'm assuming, that your 3d courses are the same as mine in clearance for the bow. Yours may be different in reality. Welcome to 3dshoots.FBSA Member

Ok, then. I guess the Sportsman Special will be my choice. And because im not looking to win any championships, its ok with me to be put in the class with Compound Bows. And one option would be to custom make my own Slideing Sight, cause im working with milling/lathing mashines. But im to Busy(lazy)...
Anyway i'll guess i will have to check it out what Range will be needed on that Dorado Bow. On my usual Recurve with 30 lbs i have to drop the Sight about 3 1/2" to shoot 60Meters, that will equal to a 2 1/2" drop with a Sight wich is closer to the Bow. You know i drew a Triangle with the distance Eye to Sight...
So if the Dorado Bow will have like 40lbs - 45lbs the range will be more to 1 3/4" if my thinking is right... So maybe some other Slide Sights could fit. But i will have to check it when i have the Bow and Shoot it with a Random Target sight.
Regards Florian

SAN BERNARDINO - Santa Claus is back in town, baby.
And he's brought his volunteer elves.
We're talking about Santa Claus Inc., a nonprofit organization that helps parents in need give to their children at Christmastime.
Local volunteers have been busy making handcrafted treasures - from children's clothing and knitted sweaters to doll clothes.
The San Bernardino warehouse, also known as "the North Pole," is filled with high stacks of toys and clothing that will be sorted to make the holidays a little brighter for local families.
The elves at Santa Claus Inc. also have been busy decking the halls for the 2012 Christmas season, preparing for this year's Christmas Tree Lane fundraiser, "Reflections," on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
"Santa Claus Inc. is very proud of its accomplishments over the past 60 years," said Karen DiCarlo, executive director and head elf.
"Due to overwhelming support from our local communities, we have been able to serve close to 465,000 local kids since 1952," she said.
This year, organization officials expect to help more than 17,000 children, just as they did last year.
For many children, the gifts under the tree from Santa Claus Inc. will be the only ones they receive Christmas morning.
Santa Claus Inc. provides new toys, stylish and functional new clothing, top-quality books, educational materials, and personal-care items for children in need in San Bernardino, Colton, Highland, Redlands and Rialto.
Jillian West of Redlands and Allison West of San Bernardino are real-estate agents by profession as well as Santa Claus toy chairwomen. The mother-daughter team enjoys their toy-buying job and the way Santa Claus Inc. is run.
"Parents are approved based on income and invited to `shop' at our warehouse on Sixth Street," Jillian said. "We serve the unemployed, disabled and working poor.
"Christmas can be stressful for parents, especially when money is tight. This is why we distribute gifts the first week of December.
"Presents will be wrapped and put under the tree for Christmas morning. We really are the real Santa Claus as children never know we exist."
The other big component of gift-giving is clothing. Cheryl Dumaine of Riverside is the group's clothing buyer.
"We try to look at all the clothing items as - is this something children would like?" Dumaine said. "We search a lot, at our own expense, and find clothing at reduced prices. We try to spend no more than $5 for a two-piece outfit, and then we also have ladies who knit and crochet sweaters."
Friday and Saturday's annual back-to-back fundraising events - the nonprofit's biggest - are a black-tie-optional "Night of Dancing with the Stars," with dining, dancing until midnight to the music of Phat Cat Swinger, live and silent auctions, Christmas boutiques, and a designer tree drawing, starting at 6 p.m. Nov. 30.
The next day there is the luncheon and fabulous designer tree drawing at 11:30 a.m. Dec. 1.
This year's events will also include nearly all the nonprofit's past presidents in a magical fantasy land at the National Orange Show Events Center.
The 16 designer Christmas trees will be raffled off, with Martha Green serving as auctioneer for the live auction and its prizes.
A variety of 100 gift baskets will be featured in the silent auction.
Designer Derrick Vasquez, National Orange Show Events Center's director of catering, sales and special events, designed the Community Tree, which was dedicated to the late Susie Seavers, the organization's second president.
"Derrick has really pulled out all the stops," DiCarlo said. "The night will be magnificent and magical."

Bruce Springsteen Dedicates "American Skin (41 Shots)" to Trayvon Martin
Bruce Springsteen dedicated his song American Skin (41 Shots) to Trayvon Martin at a concert in Limerick, Ireland.
Before playing the song, Springsteen told the crowd, "I want to send this one out as a letter back home. For justice for Trayvon Martin."
American Skin (41 Shots) was originally inspired by the shooting death of Amadou Diallo. In 1999, Diallo was shot and killed by New York City Police officers. The cops believed that Diallo was pulling a gun when he was actually getting his wallet. They fired 41 shots and he was hit 19 times. All of the officers were acquitted.
George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in 2012, was acquitted of all charges on Saturday. The entire saga has been a hot button issue across the United States.

Chances of getting pregnant for older women
Do older women over 40 who have never used or been on contraceptives have a higher chance of conceiving than those who have been using contraceptives?
28th April 2014 06:54 AM #2
Dear LuckyM,
Thank you for your question.
As I'm sure you are aware from age 35 years a woman's fertility levels start to decrease quite significantly. By age 40 she has around a 40% chance of conceiving in a year of trying; by age 44 this has dropped dramatically to just 5%.
When you say contraceptives are you referring to the birth control pill or other types of contraceptives too?
In terms of birth control pills and fertility levels, research seems to indicate that being on the pill for 5 years gives a woman similar fertility levels to someone who has not used contraceptive pills for this time (and is the same age and in the same general health). The research is a bit mixed on this topic but overall it shows similar fertility levels 6 months after stopping the pill.
Sometimes being on the pill can help to regulate your cycles if you are having problems with this and this can help with getting pregnant. However, as I say above it is unfortunately generally quite difficult for women over 40 years of age to conceive.
Is this the information you were looking for?
Warm wishes,

Fairfax Media chief Greg Hywood says the company is lean, stable and ready for growth after swinging back into the black with a $224 million annual profit.
Revenue continued to slide, dropping three per cent to $1.97 billion, but the profit - boosted by $67 million in asset sales - was a turnaround from a $16.4 million loss a year ago.
"Today's result shows that Fairfax has been able to deal with the enormous structural changes impacting the media and has reshaped the business for future growth," Mr Hywood said.
"This is the year that Fairfax's overall performance has stabilised."
Fairfax had expanded from core media into "a broadly based services business" covering marketing, property and data services, he said.
"This provides the bases for future investment focus and the development of new revenue streams," Mr Hywood said.
Revenue in Fairfax's key metropolitan media division, which includes The Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Financial Review and The Age newspapers, fell nine per cent to $803 million.
Revenue early in the current financial year was down one to two per cent - a slowing in the decline - but Citi media analyst Justin Diddams said questions remained.
"Fairfax is really good at cutting costs and putting through cost increases," he said.
"We're yet to see any real organic revenue growth from new initiatives."
Mr Hywood indicated the cover price of printed newspapers may rise in the future, but Mr Diddams said cost cuts and price rises were "silver bullets" that could only be used once.
CMC Markets strategist Michael McCarthy also pointed to revenue as a concern.
"The structural issues that this group faces are still life-threatening," he said.
Advertising revenue from Fairfax's print business fell by nearly a quarter to $281 million in the 2013/14 year, outweighing a six per cent gain in digital advertising to $179 million.
But Mr Hywood said metro media's improved profitability was a highlight, with underlying earnings rising 41 per cent to $121 million.
Digital subscriptions for the three major mastheads raised $24 million, contributing to an underlying 11 per cent increase in circulation revenue.
Fairfax shares leapt 6.2 per cent, gaining 5.5 cents to a month-high of 93.5 cents, however market watchers said short position covering and a relief rally explained some the rise.
Fairfax's best performing business was real estate advertiser Domain, where revenue grew by 15.5 per cent.
The company also pocketed $220 million from the sale of online accommodation business Stayz in December.
Mr Hywood announced a restructure of Fairfax's Australian Community Media division, which includes more than 150 newspapers, aimed at saving $40 million a year.
The changes may see "limited consolidation of papers", he said.
It is expected some jobs will be cut.
Fairfax's radio revenue, from stations including Sydney's 2UE and Melbourne's 3AW, fell six per cent.
* Full year net profit of $224.4m, up from $16.4m loss in 2012/13
* Revenue of $1.97b, down three pct from $2.03b
* Final dividend of two cents per share, up from one cent

Topic: "middle miles"
"Hikers refer to them as"middle miles." these are the most exhausting, challenging miles on the path, when the exhilaration of beginning the journey has evaporated into drudgery and the promise of the path's end has not yet given new energy for the stepping." Henry E. Woodruff
Not that I found the beginning of the journey exactly exhilarating but it was a whirlwind of activity and a surrounding of friends and family and now though not as raw and debilitating it seems a drudgery. Like a hiker we will get through these exhausting days and will reach that point where we feel the satisfaction of finishing this part of the journey and the next path (hike) will be that much easier. Oh, the hills we have to climb but the view at the top will be worth it.
Hugs. Nancy

It's like all of our '90s nostalgia was gearing up for this moment: the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls may be doing a reunion tour together! Brian Littrell of BSB was the one to allegedly reveal the Internet-breaking news himself.
