Tornados compete in the Catamount ClassicMarch 28, 2010
Ledington, Jones and Lambert all finish in the top half of their events
Cullowhee, N.C. - The Tornados track and field team took part of the Beynon Sports Surfaces Catamount Classic this past Saturday held by Western Carolina University, placing 11 athletes in eight events.
Brevard opened up the meet with two runners in the men's 100 meter dash as Shaton Pratt and Justin Fleming finished in the top 25 of the event. Pratt led the way with a 20th place finish, recording a time of 11.12, while Fleming finished five-hundredth of a second behind at 11.17 to finish tied for 21st.
Ryane Ledington opened the match for the women's team, sprinting in the 200 meter dash. Ledington placed in the top half of the field, finishing 17th overall with a time of 26.43 and was the top South Atlantic Conference athlete overall in the event.
Pratt and Fleming took to the starting blocks for the Tornados again in the 200 meter dash, with Pratt again finishing 20th in the field, with a time of 22.82, while Fleming finished in 33rd with a time of 23.65.
Ledington competed in the women's 400 meter dash and Willie Jones was in the men's 400 meters for the Tornados, with each finishing inside the top 15. Ledington received a tenth place finish after crossing the line with a time of 1:03.95, while Jones finished 13th on the men's side with a time of 51.22.
Chirstie Converso led three Brevard athletes in the women's 800 meter run, finishing 16th with a time of 2:37.92, while Ariel Muiselaar crossed the line in 20th with a time of 2.44.37. Chynna Shipp rounded out the group with a time of 2:57.11 to finish in 27th.
Melissa Schmidt and Matt Lambert took the track for the 1,500 meter run for the Tornados. Schmidt finished 14th in the event with a time of 5:41.82, while Lambert finished in the top half of the men's side, finishing 17th after crossing the line in 4:15.20.
The final event the Tornados participated in was the men's 400 meter hurdles, as Daniel Modahl and Josh Ross took the track for Brevard. Modahl finished in 11th with a time of 58.41, while Ross placed in the top 20 with a 19th place result after recording a 1:07.10.
The Tornados return to the track on April 3rd in Salisbury, N.C.

I wasn't saying that you don't have to worry about the tv production coz I know you show it an a lot of different platforms, but I was just saying that the executives at channel 5 are just another entity who decides when the show will be shown on tv. And maybe the Steven seagall films bring more of an audience than Mma.
I wasn't to offended anyone, just stating my opinion. I respect you guys for what you bring to UKMMA, we bith bring different things and its good for the fans that they have alot of ukmma to watch.
And trying to hype events and potential fights is what is needed to get interest. As for the Geordie shore guy, I have no opinion on that, who knows he might be pretty good, and I have respect for him getting in the cage in the first place.
Commentator: CWFC, Kayo MMA, Shock n Awe. SAFE MMA. johngooden.co.uk @johngoodenuk
Even the way you speak is narrow minded, and shows you don't really appreciate the art of fighting.
Having him on the show would probably get at least a 50 percent increase in audience figures, and make bamma more money then any other show....apart from reid kong! I won't go there
Commentator: CWFC, Kayo MMA, Shock n Awe. SAFE MMA. johngooden.co.uk @johngoodenuk
As long as Reidy isnt on the card, i like BAMMA
They guy who invented Burpees , is a secret child molester
if in 2 years after going on a tear in local shows he got on to bamma i would give him the respect he would of earned.
Having Steve Martin fight Vin Diesel in a cage would sell ppv but it wouldnt mean it was right.
And as for not appreciating the art of fighting your way off, its my appreciation of the art of fighting that means i dont want spectacle bouts put in at the expense of the people i've met through training mma for the last 8 years, the people who have put in the hours on the mat, in the cage or in the ring, the people i've trained with who have won national titles in thai, k1 and mma but didnt get the exposure cos their teenage and early 20's were spent training twice a day to fight on shows for next to nothing to get to the big time rather than jumping around nighclubs for a laugh then get an opportunity most fighters would jump at because of todays shitty showbiz culture.
If jay from geordie shore fights on bamma for his 1st pro fight when hes not trained 5 minutes will make a mickery of everything us real pros hav worked hard for and yes it would get more viewing but thats just more pol who think what we do really is as easy as it looks when its not this is fuckin ridiculous i might go on geordie shore then tweet dana white
Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!
also geordie shore has misreprented newcastle big time, i'd prefer that mma wasnt misrepresented also.
John junior i mentioned alex reid as a sideshow admittedly he has been in with some good fighters and i enjoyed the series of gym travel documentaries he done years back for cagefilm, but he was only put on bamma because of his relationship with jordan. i was hoping bamma had moved on from this

(Reuters) - Jason Bay and the New York Mets have agreed to part ways after negotiating a buy-out of the under-performing outfielder's contract, the National League team said on Wednesday.
Bay, who signed a four-year, $66 million contract prior to the 2010 season, was due $16 million next year and a $3 million buyout of his option year in 2014, according to Major League Baseball's website.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, though local media reported that the Canadian would become a free agent in return for agreeing on deferred payments from the Mets, who also owed him an outstanding $2 million from his signing bonus.
"I still feel I have plenty to give to this game and that I can play baseball at a high level," said Bay in a statement. "But after serious consideration, both sides agree that we would benefit from a fresh start."
Battling concussions and other injuries during his three-year stay in New York, the 34-year-old Bay hit .234 with 26 home runs in 288 games over that span.
Last season, Bay batted a woeful .165 with eight home runs and 20 RBIs in 70 games.
Prior to joining the Mets, Bay was a three-time All-Star, averaging 31 home runs per season from 2005-09 while playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox.
"Like Jason, we had planned for the kind of production here that he enjoyed in Boston and Pittsburgh, where he established himself as one of the game's top players," Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said in a statement. "We wish Jason and his family success and happiness in the future."

New York -- J.C. Penney executives laid out further details of their strategy going forward during the chain's quarterly conference call with investors. The call followed the release of J.C. Penney's first quarter results, when it reported a worse-then-expected loss of $163 million, and a 19% drop in same-store sales.
J.C. Penney said it would launch a new private label apparel brand, jcp, for both men and women. The brand is set to debut in August.
In addition, J.C. Penney said it will debut several brands in the fall, including a line for young girls, called Dream Pop by Cynthia R. It also will roll out branded collections from designers Betsey Johnson, Vivienne Tam and Lulu Guiness. J.C. Penney is also looking to expand such brands as Puma and Nike, and rebuild its St. John's Bay, Worthington and Stafford brands.
In other plans, the retailer in the first half of 2013 will launch a 20,000-sq.-ft. home department, which will be anchored by the Martha Stewart shop, according to Advertising Age. Collections by designers Jonathan Adler and Michael Graves (whose partnership with Target recently ended) will be represented in the new space, the report said.

Have information?
Police are looking for a 2001 grayish-green Lexus ES300 with California license plate 4ULT539. Anyone who sees the vehicle is asked to call 9-1-1. Also, anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the San Bernardino Police Department at 909-384-5742. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call 909-384-5656.
SAN BERNARDINO -- A man found his 76-year-old mother dead in her home Wednesday when he went to pick her up for a doctor's appointment, police said.
"There was evidence of foul play, and there was trauma to the victim," said police Lt. Paul Williams. "This is a very sad situation."
The discovery of the body of Mary Elizabeth Blaskey shortly before 2 p.m. in the 3000 block of Fremontia Drive shook up the usually quiet neighborhood where well-kept homes with manicured lawns line the street.
One woman, who didn't want to be identified, said it's very rare to have any police activity in the neighborhood.
Blaskey's death was the 42nd homicide in the city this year, Williams said.
Blaskey shared her home with a son who was working in the High Desert when the slaying took place, according to authorities.
Another son was the one who found her body.
Neither man is being investigated as a suspect, authorities said.
Blaskey's home was ransacked, and her 2001 grayish-green Lexus ES300 with California license plate 4ULT539 was missing, police said.
Because the home was in such disarray, it was not immediately clear if anything other than the woman's vehicle was taken.
Crime-scene investigators worked well into the night processing evidence at the home.
Investigators at the scene would not comment on any leads, saying they did not want to compromise the investigation.
"This is a quiet bedroom-community area of San Bernardino," Williams said. "This is an absolute tragedy."
Anyone who sees Blaskey's vehicle can call 9-1-1.
Anyone with information on the case can call the San Bernardino Police Department at 909-384-5742. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call 909-384-5656.

COPE et al. v. Kansas State Board of Education et al, the creationist lawsuit seeking to reverse Kansas's 2013 decision to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards on the grounds that the state thereby "establish[ed] and endorse[d] a non-theistic religious worldview," is now under appeal to the Supreme Court.
In a column published in the October 2016 issue of Scientific American, Steve Mirsky relates his excursion through the Grand Canyon with NCSE.
NCSE's Josh Rosenau contributed a column about the NCSE/Penn State survey (PDF) of climate change education in the United States to TES (September 19, 2016).
Members of the Texas state board of education launched a preemptive attack on a panel appointed to streamline the state science standards for biology during its September 14, 2016, meeting, according to the Texas Freedom Network's Kathy Miller, who criticized the attack in a September 16, 2016, letter to the board posted on the Texas Freedom Network's blog.

WATCH: Angels fan takes out old lady to get foul ball
An Angels fan went all out in an attempt to get on Sportscenter by making an amazing barehanded grab of a foul ball. He fell back over seats and managed to hold onto the ball. What he didn't do is check his surroundings and ended up taking out an old lady sitting next to him. She winced in pain and can be seen saying her shoulder is hurt. There is no word on if she was injured, or if the guy felt bad he took her out.

Won't get fooled again
I don't know about anyone else, but I had an entertaining April Fools' Day, especially thanks to the extent that Google went in providing us with the camouflage of yanking Google Reader by providing such diversions as Google Smell, the Google Map Treasure Edition and — my favorite — Gmail Blue (it's so . . . blue).
In fact, I had plans of my own but never completed them — and my sincere apologies to Jef Spaleta for that. I had planned to write a campaign platform for Jef and me as a pair of candidates — Spaleta/Cafiero 2013 — for the upcoming Ubuntu Membership Board elections. This platform was going to liberally sprinkle quotes from last year's Jono Bacon April 1 piece about Jono really being Jef Spaleta, and of course the multiplicity of reasons why you, as a faithful member of the Ubuntu Apocalypse, should vote for him, or for both of us.
But I never got around to it.
[Note to Ubunteros: You're welcome to write-in either Jef or me on your ballot if you have qualms about the direction that Ubuntu is taking. Just a suggestion . . . ]
However, I am guilty of one prank. Blame Gareth Greenaway, a bad influence and the operations committee chair for the Southern California Linux Expo (not necessarily in that order). Toward the end of SCALE 11X this year, he had an idea for an April Fools' goof that would involve SCALE and O'Reilly: SCALE would take over OSCON. Ideally, O'Reilly would be in on this — an opportunity on which they passed (shame on them) — and we'd both post a release on our sites saying that O'Reilly had handed OSCON over to us at SCALE (EDIT: I have taken down the release from the SCALE site, and it can be found in the comments). Alas, it was a one-sided affair, posted on our social media and on the SCALE 11X site. To my knowledge, it was received very well, in its own transparent way.
In case you didn't get it, SCALE is not taking over OSCON. If you spell out the first letters of each paragraph, you get the message.
Some folks don't like April 1. I'm not one of them. I like the free rein of having a day where you can exercise your wits in convincing others of something that isn't true, and then move on. I can dish it out and I can take it — and I don't mind so much being on the receiving end of a prank if it's well crafted.
So tomorrow I pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday, and I get on my knees and pray . . . .

O'Reilly, you missed two
I don't want to take anything away from the winners of the O'Reilly Open Source Awards for 2012, given out at the big corporate FOSS Kumbaya in Portland known as OSCON this past week. All are very deserving of O'Reilly's accolades — especially Elizabeth Krumbach, whose work I see on an almost regular basis — and I won't go into listing the winners or their accomplishments here because O'Reilly has seen to that already.
But there are two — at least two — that were nominated and that O'Reilly missed. The misfortune that these two have been omitted arguably borders on tragic, too, because each of the following folks mentioned below have made significant contributions to FOSS in ways that equal, if not eclipse, those made by some of the this year's recipients.
Here are two you missed, O'Reilly. Maybe next year you can rectify this.
The first O'Reilly oversight is Bill Kendrick. If you have children, you have probably happened upon Bill's software opus Tux Paint somewhere along the line. If you don't, then you may have seen it anyway. In its 10th year, Tux Paint is an award-winning art program for K-6 kids that not only teaches art, but also computer literacy. A long list of schools use it. It's been open source ever since its inception, and is made for a variety of platforms — the usual suspects of Linux, Mac and Windows. Tux Paint alone should garner Bill the award, with an oak-leaf cluster, but he is even more deserving of the award for developing other educational software like TuxTyping — helping kids learn to type — not to mention Tux, of Math Command — which "lets kids hone their arithmetic skills while they defend penguins from incoming comets," according to the website. Or, in other words, think of the '80s arcade game Missile Command, only with math problems instead of incoming nuclear missiles.
[Blogger's note: Bill Kendrick straightens out the personnel lineup for the aforementioned projects here, and a full list of authors and contributors can be found here and here.]
The second oversight is Ken Starks. As those of you who regularly read this blog know, Ken and I go back a ways, back to the days when Ken successfully — miraculously — raised enough money to get Tux on the nose of an Indy car at the Indianapolis 500 back in 2007. The car crashed early in the race — irony of ironies for Linux — and finished last. As long as I've known him, Ken has been the most tireless advocate for Linux and FOSS for years. With the HeliOS Project — now REGLUE, an acronym for Recycled Electronics and Gnu/Linux Used for Education — Ken and his merry band of fossketeers get refurbished Linux-based computers into the hands of underprivileged kids in the Austin, Texas, area. Ken was also one of the co-founders of the Lindependence Project, which brought Linux to a small town back in 2008. Currently, Ken's battle with larynx cancer is limiting his activity, but he is still doing what he can with the hand he's dealt.
So, how about it, Tim?

The Wizard of OSCON – Day 2
First things first: There is a Wizard of OSCON. I'll reveal that person's identity — without having to go behind the curtain — at the end of the blog (and no fair going straight to the bottom).
The second day followed the same playbook from most large shows. Following a tsunami of people on day one of the exhibition, the second day of the exhibition is more tempered and there are less people. But there's an up side to the latter, specifically that we're able to talk at length about matters Fedora.
Being chained to the booth — and I say that as if it's a bad thing, but it's not — I was unable to go to any of the sessions. Not a problem there, since talking to people in the booth is a lot more enjoyable. So dealing with questions about Fedora, introducing the distro and talking to people about FOSS suits me better.
The people come in waves, thanks to the sessions, no doubt. The folks who visited the booth for the past two days, as they do at all large shows, come in a wide range of experience levels. Fielding questions from "What is Fedora?" to the most detailed questions about the kernel — passed off to someone more experienced, of course — the range of questions and the ever-increasing number of people reflect that FOSS is gaining a healthy glow in the grand scheme of things.
Best SWAG: Overall, the SWAG at the event has been good. Three items stand out and I'll rank them from third to first. Finishing third would be the Firehost playing cards, and you might ask why the Firehost toilet paper wouldn't rank until you actually used it (nice idea, bad execution, Firehost).
Finishing second, and most would consider this the winner, would be the tattoo sleeves from Rackspace. You put this sleeve on your arm and, assuming you're skin tone is a range of pink to white, you have an arm covered with Rackspace tattoos.
The best swag of the event goes to Chisimba, a South African outlet at the show. Since South Africa just hosted the World Cup, they brought Chisimba.com vuvuzelas. Orange vuvuzelas.
And now we're off to meet the wizard: The one person who always makes OSCON work for us — the one who pulls administrative rabbits out of hats and who is a textbook go-to person — would be O'Reilly's May Munji. Thanks, May, for making the shows a great experience for those of us toiling in the booth trenches.
Tomorrow: The OSCON epilogues.

Lindsay Lohan: IRS Seizes Accounts for $200K Tax Bill
As if she didn't already have enough drama in her life, Lindsay Lohan is now fighting the IRS to regain control of her bank accounts.
According to a report, the Internal Revenue Service grabbed LiLo's assets as a result of a $200,000 outstanding tax bill from 2009 and 2010.
And after earning over $2 million in 2011, the "Mean Girls" actress should have had more than enough cash to settle her tax debts.
Earlier this fall, Charlie Sheen gave Lindsay a cool $100,000 to help her with the IRS burden, however it seems she didn't come up with the rest of the money.

Above : unique and ephemeral work of Miguel Chevalier
Background image page: elevator of the Hotel Windsor by Ultra Violet
Our aim is to please you and to satisfy your expectations.
But, we also want to offer you a special place which raises surprises.
Every year, the hall invites a new artist to invest the space with contemporary art installations.
The Windsor is always alike and yet often different, in a good mood and always smiling.
The artist rooms open a window onto the contemporary art world: the use of the volume, the game of shapes and materials, humor… Each room is an original creation, the fruit of the artist's imagination, which reflects his work. It offers the traveller new discoveries.
The rooms with frescoes are more traditional and romantic.
Antoine Baudoin has drawn inspiration from famous or outlandish places, mythical characters or magical scenes. These frescoes often evoke distant lands, extend your trip by the dream and take you to a fancy world.
Some rooms with a large poster pay homage to a famous artist: Robert Indiana, Niky de Saint Phalle, Martial Raysse … These rooms expect the intervention of a renowned contemporary artist, carefully selected to complement our collection.
The tropical garden offers a moment of poetry among the bamboos, bougainvilleas and fruit trees beside a small swimming pool. The songs of birds in the garden sometimes enhance the music of Michel Redolfi's installation and mingle with the magic of the place.
Eventually, our Wi Zen space offers body and face cares to live up a true moment of wellness and to complete your sensory experience in our house.
Thus, while cultivating the traditional values of hospitality and catering for several generations, the Windsor wants to be part of your journey.
Let these moments leave a sweet trace in your memory,
Odile Payen-Redolfi
and the team of the hotel WindsoR
The Windsor Hotel welcomes you with its 57 rooms all equipped with:
* Mini Bar / hair dryer
* Air conditioned
* Safe deposit box
* Phone
* Satellite TV (French and foreign channels)
* Wi-Fi free
You can enjoy a balneo or balcony in our privilege rooms.

This is why people who have no business attending college, shouldn't be attending
Childs Education, but Parents Crushing Loans
When Michele Fitzgerald and her daughter, Jenni, go out for dinner, Jenni pays. When they get haircuts, Jenni pays. When they buy groceries, Jenni pays.
It has been six years since Ms. Fitzgerald broke, unemployed and in default on the $18,000 in loans she took out for Jennis college education became a boomerang mom, moving into her daughters townhouse apartment in Hingham, Mass.
Jenni pays the rent.
For Jenni, 35, the student loans and the education they bought have worked out: she has a good job in public relations and is paying down the loans in her name. But for her mother, 60, the parental debt has been disastrous.
Its not easy, Ms. Fitzgerald said. Jenni feels the guilt and I feel the burden.
There are record numbers of student borrowers in financial distress, according to federal data. But millions of parents who have taken out loans to pay for their childrens college education make up a less visible generation in debt. For the most part, these parents did well enough through midlife to take on sizable loans, but some have since fallen on tough times because of the recession, health problems, job loss or lives that took a sudden hard turn.
And unlike the angry students who have recently taken to the streets to protest their indebtedness, most of these parents are too ashamed to draw attention to themselves.
You dont want your children, much less your neighbors and friends, knowing that even though youre living in a nice house, and youve been able to hold onto your job, your retirement moneys gone, you cant pay your debts, said a woman in Connecticut who took out $57,000 in federal loans. Between tough times at work and a divorce, she is now teetering on default.
In the first three months of this year, the number of borrowers of student loans age 60 and older was 2.2 million, a figure that has tripled since 2005. That makes them the fastest-growing age group for college debt. All told, those borrowers owed $43 billion, up from $8 billion seven years ago, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Almost 10 percent of the borrowers over 60 were at least 90 days delinquent on their payments during the first quarter of 2012, compared with 6 percent in 2005. And more and more of those with unpaid federal student debt are losing a portion of their Social Security benefits to the government nearly 119,000 through September, compared with 60,000 for all of 2007 and 23,996 in 2001, according to the Treasury Departments Financial Management Service.
The federal government does not track how many of these older borrowers were taking out loans for their own education rather than for that of their children. But financial analysts say that loans for children are the likely source of almost all the debt. Even adjusted for inflation, so-called Parent PLUS loans one piece of the pie for parents of all ages have more than doubled to $10.4 billion since 2000. Colleges often encourage parents to get Parent PLUS loans, to make it possible for their children to enroll. But many borrow more than they can afford to pay back and discover, too late, that the flexibility of income-based repayment is available only to student borrowers.
Many families with good credit turn to private student loans, with parents co-signing for their children. But those private loans also offer little flexibility in repayment.
The consequences of such debt can be dire because borrowers over 60 have less time and fewer opportunities than younger borrowers to get their financial lives back on track. Some, like Ms. Fitzgerald, are forced to move in with their children. Others face an unexpectedly pinched retirement. Still others have gone into bankruptcy, after using all their assets to try to pay the student debt, which is difficult to discharge under any circumstances.
The anguish over college debt has put a severe strain on many family relationships. Parents and students alike say parental debt can be the uncomfortable, unmentionable elephant in the room. Many parents feel they have not fulfilled a basic obligation, while others quietly resent that their childrens education has landed the family in such difficult territory.
Soon after borrowing the money for Jennis education, Ms. Fitzgerald divorced and lost her corporate job. She worked part-time jobs and subsisted on food stamps and public assistance.
I dont really feel guilt, but I do know that this is all because of a loan taken out on my behalf, said Jenni, who has a different last name and agreed to be interviewed only if it would not be disclosed. I asked my mother to move in with me, because I couldnt stand it that she was living in a place with no heat and a basement that kept flooding.
The unusual arrangements, and strained family dynamics, can be awkward. Like Jenni, many with student debt problems agreed to be interviewed only on the condition that they not be identified because they did not want to expose their financial troubles.
It makes you feel like a failure as a parent, to be unable to help your children and to have all your hard work end in a pile of debt, said one New Jersey man, who took out a second mortgage of $280,000 to help cover his childrens college costs. I sent my older kids to private colleges, and I was happy to do it because its how you help them get started off. But I cant do it for the youngest, and I havent even been able to start the conversation with him.
Ms. Fitzgerald said she had little hope of a comfortable old age. She has no health insurance. She knows that the odds of finding a good job in her 60s, with no college degree, are slim and she knows that the government will take part of her Social Security, in payment of her debt, which she said had now ballooned to about $40,000 because of penalties for nonpayment. At one point, she said, the Internal Revenue Service seized a $2.43 tax refund.
Jenni has volunteered to take on her mothers debt, but Ms. Fitzgerald has refused, saying it is her legal and moral obligation, and anyway, Jenni has her own loans to pay off about $220 a month and not much discretionary income. The very suggestion that Jenni might take on her debt annoys her.
Dont you think she is doing enough for me now by supporting me a hundred percent, financially, by my living with her and her extending her resources? Ms. Fitzgerald asked. The whole idea was for her to get a college education so she can succeed in life; it is hard enough just to do that without being burdened with her mothers welfare, like I was her child.
Jenni occasionally jumped in with explanations or clarifications, as she and her mother sat in the living room discussing their situation. When Ms. Fitzgerald talked of being depressed last year, so overwhelmed by the cartons of documents and dunning letters that she threw them all out, Jenni said gently, in an almost maternal tone, But youre doing much better now.
Many young people live with deep guilt that their education has pushed their parents into debt, and perhaps ruined their credit rating. Even those who do not know exactly how much money their parents have, or how much they owe, worry about how their debt will affect their parents lives.
One 27-year-old man from East Texas, who earned a bachelors degree in California, is now nearing graduation with another bachelors degree, in Russian literature, from Columbia University. He said he did not know how much debt he and his mother had accumulated in the course of his educational wanderings, sounding almost paralyzed by the prospect of talking to her about it.
I should know how much I owe, and its sad that I dont, he said. I feel like Im standing on the train track and I can hear the rumble of the train coming, and I dont know how hard the train will slam into me.
In one extreme case, student debt, and the constant creditor calls, were mentioned in a suicide note by the stepfather of a young law school graduate. The guilt has been crushing for the graduate.
Teresa Tosh, 56, a mother of five who works for the county government in Tulsa, Okla., had co-signed large graduate and law school loans for one of her sons, Jacob, who has a different last name. In total, he owes more than $200,000 on his federal loans, in addition to more than $100,000 on the private student loans his mother co-signed.
But like many recent law graduates, Jacob had trouble finding a job, and when he finally found one, an hour from home, the salary was nowhere near enough to cover loan payments. Creditor calls to both Jacob and to his mother became more and more frequent.
Jacob talked to the collectors when they called, and tried to work out payments as best he could. But shortly after one call ended, he and his mother said, the phone would ring again: another collection agent, in another part of the country. Ms. Toshs husband, George, a Vietnam veteran who worked from home, concluded that Jacob was lying about trying to work things out, deceiving Ms. Tosh, ruining her credit and leaving her holding the bag.
The household tension grew intense, and in July 2010, Mr. Tosh shot himself, leaving a note saying that he could no longer stand the incessant calls from Sallie Mae, one of the lenders.
Jake has destroyed us. You cant tell me that sally mae is getting paid when they keep calling all day, every day, he said in a note to his wife. I cant even answer the phone in my own home no more. I cant live like this no more.
Ms. Tosh said she was not naïve enough to think the Sallie Mae calls were the only reason that her husband killed himself. But they were adding a lot of stress, she said. Theyd never stop calling.
A few months after the suicide, Jacob moved to Dallas and got a document-review job. The pay is not enough to meet his loan payments or even full interest but his creditors agreed to let him make partial-interest-only payments for two years. While his balance continues to grow, that arrangement protected his mother from payment demands for two years.
Its made my life so much more stressful and guilt-filled because I know that it affects her, Jacob said. I barely have enough money to pay the bills, but if I miss by a day, they call her.
Jacob pays about $1,200 a month toward the debt, more than he pays for rent. He and his mother are carefully rebuilding their relationship, after a period of great tension. Ms. Tosh traveled to Dallas for his birthday.
Shes been really good about it, Jacob said. Its always there, but she doesnt bring it up.

I don't understand why anyone would pay that much to go to school. My 4 years of tuition plus books were about half a year salary fresh out....so someone paying $300k for law school would need to make $600k first year out of school for their education to be as efficient.

$1,200 is a mortgage payment for me. And he pays that much, per month, on a partial interest-only payment on student loan debt. Good luck kid.

Tuition is absurd now. NYU's tuition is 60k a year with room and board, and still they nickel and dime. Books, food, classroom fees, extra materials, microwave, etc. Meanwhile they are buying up every property in NYC, they have so much money they don't know what to do with it.
That being said, I think Stern (the business school, undergrad and grad) is one of the few schools at NYU at least somewhat worth it. The name carries a pretty big prestige in the business world and if you play your cards right you can be making way more a year at pretty young age

Perhaps America's education system needs a reboot. Agree with what others said above, tuition is ridiculous these days if you want to go to a decent school.

There are too many students looking for too few jobs. Back in the day, a college degree meant something; today, it's a first step. And people are unwilling to settle for blue collar jobs these days and parents don't want their kids to "struggle" like they did. There's too much supply in the student market and to distinguish themselves, students are getting more degrees.
I'm in law school; I know the job market is going to absolutely suck. There are too many law graduates out there at the moment. I have no debt. Why? Because I got scholarships and attended good schools, but not places I'd have to incur a huge amount of debt. The total cost of tuition for me so far would have been $220000-250000 + books + accommodations. I think I've paid maybe $20000-25000 total. My grades aren't fantastic, but I've done well enough.
I have some sympathy for those who get in this much debt trouble, but not much. Honestly, it's irresponsible in the extreme and quite frankly, people who make that sort of decision have no business in management regardless of the degree they hold. And though it will never come up and I'll probably lose out on a position to a few of these students, at least my head is well above water and I can have some time to find the right position.

Too many people who go to college have no real "street knowledge".
For example I have a bunch of friends who are going to college for different majors.
A couple are business majors
One is a psychology major
Some are going to school to be teacher
Anyways most of them can only answer questions in a book and can't figure out how to do anything unless it is written down.
(That on its own wont get you a job)
You need some sort of experience in the real world.
To me that is the most MAJOR problem with all these student loans being loaned out.
Anyways I hope this changes, I really want the country's debt to be gone but doesn't help when people keep doing things like this.

Yea my parents won't have that. They are pretty strict when it comes to me spending their money. They pay for food and housing and that's it but I'm thankful I have both of those because that is expensive in itself.

This is one of the main reasons tuition reimbursement is one of the main benefits I shop for in a company. I get $5k/yr which is about what I spend as a part time student.
School is retarded expensive, one of the things though is I am debt free as I am on the "pay as I go" program. I never understood people sinking $50k into a degree in creative thought or expressive dance or something.
Here in ATL everyone has a Law or Business degree. People in the STEM fields are fine.
I work shoulder to shoulder with GaTech grads..honestly nobody gives a sh!t where you went to school after you're first job. I just hired 2 GaTech grads onto my team, I'm having one of them review the paper I'm trying to get CableLabs, IEEE, or some standards body to publish.
People drink way too much of the kool-aid in school names.

|Vintage Oversized Sweater, Long Sleeve Mesh Dress- American Apparel, Dolce Vita for Urban Outfitters Dolcetta Harness Heel Boot
Congrats! Have a fun time at the THREADShow and enjoy your new gift from Ola's Handbags!
My apologies by not getting to the blog sooner! Blogger was down for almost 2 days and I could publish absolutely nothing! Also because of this maintenance over 20 comments were deleted from the blog because they were made after May 11. Luckily, the comments forward to my e-mail. So I had a record of everyone who entered!
On the bright side, I'm very excited about my new boots. I don't quite have the cash for the Sam Edelman "Zoe" but these offer a cheaper comfortable alternative! The Dolcetta harness boots is apart of a special collaboration by Dolce Vita for Urban Outfitters. So they're only available via UO which is pretty much sold out nationwide. I went on one of my epic shoe hunts to find them and voila. Now, if I could only get my hands on a pair of the Jeffrey Campbell "Foxy" in Pink Suede.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cash-back credit card rewards improved modestly over the past year, according to a new survey released today by Bankrate.com (NYSE: RATE). Almost half of the cash-back cards (48%) that Bankrate surveyed pay 1% cash back from the first dollar of spending, up from 44% last year, and 14% pay more than 1%. Eighty-two percent of the cards are free of annual fees, and 67% of the rewards are free of expiration dates (up from 50% last year).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040122/FLTHLOGO )
"Unlike debit card rewards, which declined sharply over the past year, credit card rewards are still alive and well," said Greg McBride, CFA, senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com. "Not only were credit cards exempt from debit swipe fee reform, but the ideal rewards card candidate is a consumer that uses the card frequently but pays the balance in full at month-end. This high-volume, loyal customer with very low risk of default is attractive to card issuers, who offer cash-back rewards and introductory bonuses to incent cardholders for swiping their plastic."
Additional Findings:
Introductory Bonuses:
Bankrate surveyed 50 cash-back credit cards offered by 19 large U.S. issuers during the week of Jan. 9, 2012. The full results of the survey can be found here: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/credit-cards/credit-card-rewards-survey-cash-still-king.aspx.

LONG BEACH - Eight months ago, Nino's Italian Restaurant, located in the heart of Bixby Knolls, was in desperate need of help.
Its decor, largely unchanged from its opening in 1958, was dark and outdated, and its menu resembled a small encyclopedia.
That was then.
Now, months after chef Gordon Ramsay and his "Kitchen Nightmares" team took over the restaurant for less than a week, you will find a clean, modern design with focus on the new sleek and simple menu. The "Kitchen Nightmares" episode will air Friday night at 8 p.m. on Fox.
Nino's has been called a Long Beach institution. Vince "Nino" Cristiano opened the business at 3853 Atlantic Ave. in July 1958, and now his family runs the business.
The Cristianos - the founder's wife, Inge; brothers Nino and Mike; and daughter Carina - are excited about finally seeing it.
"We haven't seen the episode and I think we are all very nervous about finally seeing it," said Carina Cristiano, who is the restaurant's operations manager. "Though we would love to watch it privately in the comfort of our homes, it was the community that made this possible, so we will watch with them here at the restaurant."
Nino's is sold out Friday night for a viewing party.
Cristiano said that being critiqued on the show was a "very intense" experience.
"When we first walked through the doors after the transformation, I was speechless," she said. "The cameras were on us and I swore I would not cry, but right in front of our eyes was our dream, and it had finally come true and that brought me to tears."
Fox's hit television show producers had heard about the dire situation at Nino's and decided it was a good candidate for the show, said Arthur Smith, executive producer. He said the crew had been to older restaurants, but never to a restaurant that has been in one family for 54 years, which he said "compelled us to come and help in every way we could."
"This restaurant is an American Dream," Smith said. "For 54 years, Nino's has been a staple, but unfortunately the family was falling out because the restaurant was falling apart. This episode was about bringing the family back together and keeping their American dream alive."
An outdated menu, decor and strife within the family all took their toll on the restaurant - and the economy didn't help either - and this will play out in front of a national audience Friday on Fox at 8 p.m.
"We don't consider it airing out our dirty laundry," Cristiano said. "If you have seen 'Kitchen Nightmares' before, you know that it gets worse before it gets better. In our case, we really believe we have met Chef Ramsay's goals and have moved forward focused on great food and great service."
British chef and television personality Ramsay, the star of "Kitchen Nightmares," told the Press-Telegram in July that Nino's Italian Restaurant endured a week of change that wasn't exactly easy to come by.
"Nino's was caught in a time warp, the restaurant was outdated and they were scared of change, petrified of change because they were clinging on to what little customers they had," Ramsay said. "Change is hard, but it is always refreshing. But after 54 years, they didn't take to change easily. However, they needed to, otherwise Nino's wouldn't have celebrated another year."
Cristiano said she is grateful for getting a second chance.
"All of my dreams came true with this transformation, everything I have ever dreamed of has come true. I am overly humbled about what has happened," Cristiano said. "It took a lot of courage to change, and it was very hard, but so worth it. We can't thank the community, Chef Ramsay and his team enough."

Caio Ibelli Wins The ISA's Hainan Classic 4-Star Men's ASP In China
Australia's Mitch Crews placed second at the left point break at Riyue Bay
Hainan Wanning Riyue Bay International Surfing Festival
January 25 to 30, 2013
Wanning, Hainan, China
Wanning, Hainan, China, January 30, 2013- The International Surfing Association (ISA) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 Hainan Classic, 4-Star Men's ASP: Brazilian Caio Ibelli placed 1st defeating Australian Mitch Crews in the Final.
Despite smaller conditions on the last day of the competition, Ibelli was able to choose the right waves that gave him the win. The young and super talented Brazilian earned an 8.33 on his opening ride in the final, and nearing the end of the heat, he tore apart a long left and scored a 9.17 for a heat total of 17.50. The 2011 ASP Billabong World Junior titlist easily defeated Crews' 11.00 total for the Hainan Classic trophy and top cash prize.
"This has been an amazing event filled with lots of surprises. Congratulations to Caio Ibelli for his incredible performance in the long winding waves at the left point in Riyue Bay," said ISA President Fernando Aguerre from his home in La Jolla, California, where he was attending to the needs of a new baby girl born into his family the day before. Ibelli was the most consistent and in-form surfer of the event since he earned the top 4 highest heat scores: 17.67 in the Quarterfinals, 17.67 in Round 3, 17.50 in the final, and 17.50 in Round 1.
"This contest has been pretty good; the waves were amazing and I had so much fun surfing the heats. There's no better way to start the year than by winning," said the Hainan Classic champ. "This is my first event of the year and I feel awesome."
Second place finisher Crews struggled to find quality waves during the Final. "I started catching the first wave and it just ran off a bit quick. Caio got the one behind it, and it stood up real nice on the reef allowing him to get a few turns," remarked Mitch Crews. "After that there were basically no waves for 10 minutes, and I held priority for as long as I could. It was hard to chose them and the conditions were deteriorating, but I'm happy with my performance and on to the next contest."
The ISA President appreciates all the effort that went into putting on this successful event. "In the name of the ISA and the over 35 million surfers in the world, I would like to thank China's National Water Sports Association, the Hainan Culture and Sports Department, the Wanning Sports Bureau, and especially our great partners, Womei Media. With all of their support, I am looking forward to coming back to Hainan, for the third time next year, for what will be a bigger and even better event."

My Ride: 2000 BMW 323 ci
2002 330 xi
Hey folks... we're into our first real snow event up here on the Canadian Prairies and I'm looking at 2 different BMW xi's and I need your opinions.
The first is a 2002 330 xi with 86 k miles and the following description:
"Power everything, Leather, Traction Control, Stability Control, CD player, and more.
Plenty of get-up-and-go. Very well maintained, handles well, new tires (Bridgestone Potenzas)"
The second is also a 2002 330 xi with 80 k miles and the following description:
"New tires (less that 1000kms on them)
New idler pulley and tensioner
New rear pads and discs
Newer battery
New air filter and oil change
Recharged ice cold A/C
Vehicle comes equipped with the Premium package, Sport package, cold weather package and nav package.
The premium package includes upgraded rims, multi-function steering wheel, rain sensing wipers, auto dimming mirror, lumbar support seats, moon roof and auto headlights.
The sport package includes sport seats with thigh support, 17 rims and the leather three spoke steering wheel.
The cold weather package includes heated seats and fold down rear seats.
The nav package comes with the widescreen navigation screen, 12 speaker Harman/kardon premium sound system and the bi-xenon headlights."
Is there anything to be aware of on these models that should be checked prior to an offer? I would prefer the second vehicle with the sport package as my 2000 323 ci also has the same details.
Thoughts and comments much appreciated.

'For Buffalo Sabres fans, it might be the night, playing on a shredded knee, that he fell to the ice but while lying chest-down at the red line still managed to get a breakaway pass off to teammate Brad May. The play enabled May to break in and score the overtime goal that snapped a 10-year string of first-round disappointments and carried the Sabres past the Boston Bruins and into the second-round of the 1993 playoffs.'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Willing to Take Auto Dealer Fight to Federal Level
Tiffany Kaiser
April 16, 2013 12:13 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
He'll either lobby Congress for legislation or file a federal lawsuit
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is determined to win the fight against auto dealers and sell his company's vehicles directly to customers, but if he doesn't succeed at the state level, he's willing to make it a federal case.
"If we're seeing nonstop battles at the state level, rather than fight 20 different state battles, I'd rather fight one federal battle," said Musk.
According to Musk, he will likely take one of two approaches if it comes down to a federal matter. He will either lobby Congress to pass legislation for the direct sales of EVs made by startup companies like Tesla (and tie it to an energy or transportation bill) or file a federal lawsuit to fight the state restrictions as unconstitutional violations of interstate commerce.
However, The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) said it will continue to defend franchise and consumer laws in the states.
"NADA will vigorously defend the franchise system," said David Westcott, chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association. "A better option for Mr. Musk is to take advantage of the dealer network that already exists."
Musk has been
pushing support fo
r a recent bill
in Texas, called
House Bill 3351. This would allow distributors and manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) only to sell directly to customers without the use of dealerships.
He has gone as far as offering to
build a second manufacturing plant
in Texas, and is even trying to appeal to Texas consumers by discussing a design for an electric pickup truck that would be stronger than any current gasoline truck.
In addition to Texas, Musk has had issues persuading other U.S. states to allow the auto startup to sell its cars directly. Some of its problem states include Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York and Virginia.
Musk could have a huge fight ahead, though. NADA said that 48 states have some sort of restricition on factory-owned dealerships. Musk went on to say that about 20 of those have restrictions that would make his business model difficult while about six others have restrictions that would make it extremely difficult.
Musk has called the new Texas bill (and this overall business model of selling directly) a "life or death" situation for startups like Tesla.
"For us this is life or death," said Musk. "If we can't go direct we will not be able to sell cars."
In the past, Musk has said that he's open to a dealership model at some point when sales increase, since dealerships do promote competition and keep prices down. But at a startup level, he said this type of model isn't the best route.
Tesla currently sells about 10,000 cars in North America, where about 1,500-2,000 are sold in Texas.
Tesla is shipping over 500 Model S EVs weekly, and recently reported that
the company is now profitable
thanks to the Model S exceeding sales targets. Tesla Model S sales reached 4,750, which topped the sales outlook of 4,500 posted in the February shareholder letter.
In addition, the automaker is partnering with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank to offer customers more financing options for Tesla's vehicles.

Joel Vanderheyden
Artist's BiographyA seasoned performer and clinician in both jazz and classical styles, Dr. Joel Vanderheyden is a saxophonist, composer and educator from Minneapolis, MN. He is currently Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Jazz at Jefferson College in Hillsboro, MO. Vanderheyden has previously served as Director of Jazz at the University of Minnesota, Morris and at Oakton Community College in the Chicago area. His D.M.A. studies in classical saxophone with Kenneth Tse at The University of Iowa and M.M. studies in jazz with Chris Vadala at The University of Maryland have contributed to his well-rounded approach to the saxophone and musical expression.
Vanderheyden has performed at jazz festivals in Switzerland, France, and notable stateside venues including Carnegie Hall, Blues Alley, The Dakota, The Artists Quarter, The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, and The Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts. In 2000, he performed with Clarence Gatemouth Brown at the Montreux Jazz Festival, opening for B.B. King, and has since shared the stage with many notable national and local jazz luminaries. An active supporter of new music for classical saxophone, he has also commissioned new works from composer Aaron Perrine, including Flow (2009), a sonata for saxophone and piano, and Bridge Suite (2010) for saxophone and cello.
Joel Vanderheydens debut album, Complete Life, was named one of the Top Jazz Albums of 2009 by KCCK 88.3FM and was featured as their CD of the Month in August 2009. He is also a founding member of the forward-thinking ensemble, Koplant No. They were recently featured on Iowa Public Radio, and were the recipients of a grant from the Iowa Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts. Joel is also a member of the St. Louis Jazz Orchestra and the Missouri Sax Quartet, and endorses Selmer saxophones and Rico reeds.

text: Hello to whoever is reading this ok now let me get to the point. First of all I've been an active member of the backtrack community for over a year now but there is one thing that I can't figure out and I have been debating on asking this. Now back in the day I was just able to add the backtrack Repo's to Ubuntu but know it's just not working and I can't figure out why then I thought you prolly changed them or something so I did some research and found the new ones and I put them in and nothing. Now the reason why I want the repo's in ubuntu to try pyrit to its fullest since backtrack is only 32bit and Ubuntu is 64bit.

A Neophyte's Journey through Qualitative Analysis Using Morse's Cognitive Processes of Analysis
Abstract: In the early stages of her master's thesis the author became increasingly concerned about how she would analyze the data for her planned critical interpretive study. She felt that she needed clear direction about the process of qualitative analysis but found the "how to" of theory development within qualitative data analysis poorly described and vague. A book chapter by qualitative researcher Janice Morse (1994) provided guidance. In it Morse outlined four cognitive and essentially sequential processes, which the author adapted to guide the analysis of data for her study.

Each year Paramount Promotions transforms the University of Phoenix Stadium from the home of the Arizona Cardinals into the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl with colorful and eye-catching graphics.
Phoenix-based Paramount Promotions designs and manufactures most of the graphic signs, banners and inflatables for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl held in Glendale annually.
The company created 25-foot tall inflatable Tostitos chip bags for the Fiesta Bowl, along with most of the banners and signs in the University of Phoenix stadium that can be seen during the game.
The 2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl was the second year of a five-year agreement between Paramount Promotions and the Fiesta Bowl. In addition to the Fiesta Bowl, Paramount Promotions also creates graphic signs for the Insight Bowl, held in Tempe at Sun Devil Stadium each year. The company also created graphic banners for the University of Arizona's football stadium.
"Working with bowl games have always been probably my favorite," says Brad Bergamo, president of Paramount Promotions. "It's always fun to go in and take a stadium and completely change the look of it. … So, you go from a stadium that's just a lot of concrete, colorless, to having a lot of color and graphics."
Although making over the stadiums is Bergamo's favorite project, Paramount Promotions does much more.
The company, which was established in 1992, also designs and manufactures wraps for boats, cars, trailers, golf carts and more, all at its Phoenix location.
Paramount Promotions produces light boxes, banners, billboards, fence wraps, window graphics, inflatables, flatbed boards and more that can be seen across the country. The company also makes "fly guys," the dancing or wiggling inflatable "men" often seen on the side of the road.
Paramount Promotions, which employs 11 people, serves clients nationwide, but about 85 percent of the company's business comes from Arizona companies and individuals, Bergamo says.
Another large project Paramount Promotions undertook was creating all of the signs and wall graphics for the Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills.
With the use of digital printing machine, the Nur Expedic, Paramount Promotions prints an average of 1,800 square feet per hour. At that speed, the company could wrap 30 semi-trucks per day.
Even though Paramount Promotions works with large clients such as the Fiesta Bowl and the University of Arizona, it also offers many services for individuals and small companies.
Currently, the most common product for individual clients is canvas paintings of personal photos. The company has also done life-sized wall graphics — similar to Fathead sports wall graphics — of individuals or their children playing sports.
One of the more creative ways people use Paramount Promotions is to create a large graphic photo, whether it be of the beach, mountains or snow, to cover the boring brick walls that are so common in Phoenix.
"We're pretty diverse right now. So as of right now, we're not looking to expand into other products or services," Bergamo says. "We're trying to specialize in what we do now."
The company has been growing steadily, even in the recent down economy, Bergamo adds. In the fall of 2010, Paramount Promotions acquired MonsterColor, a local, large-format printer. The acquisition has expanded Paramount's capabilities.

One supposes it doesn't count as double posting when you do it in English and otherwise, but don't do it again I think.
On with the show: First, if you are a Macbook owner, you can probably afford a copy of VMware Fusion 2 - which I recommend. There is no actual good idea to run BT as the main OS on a Macbook - OS X works better and, to be perfectly honest, the wifi chipset is generally a broadcom and thus unhelpful when you try to crack your neighbours network - so you need a USB wifi adaptor anyway.
If you still insist on installing it to the HDD without a Fusion option, we're going to need a bit more information - specifically what bootloader did you select, what formatting of the HDD did you choose and such.
If you cheated and split the HDD into [OSX]+[32GB_Windows] using bootcamp, you might actually be able to install BT that way, but I've never tried it and, well, see my first point.
If you are going to use something, look at Bootpicker. It only works with 1 OS X install, 1 Linux install and 1 Windows install (or mixes of the singulars), but it's a very simple tool to use - install it as a pref pane into OS X.

Help on (* comments *)
Hello everybody.
Can someone help me with this one?
I'm trying to use comment "(* *)" normally but all I get is some strange
behavior. More precisely, I get "Null" for (nearly) every comment I
use. Ex:
In: {1,2 (*Two*),3}
Out: {1,2 Null,3}
Or sometimes just errors:
In: If[2>1, 1 (* then*), (* else*) 2] Out:
Syntax::"sntxf": "If[" cannot be followed by "(2 > 1), 1 (* then*) ,(*
else *) 2]"
Strangely, when I run the example in the online manual :
If[ a>b ,(*then*) p,(*else) q]
directly from the help notebook everything works fine, but if I copy it
to my notebook, bang, the Nulls are back!
I've noticed also that the text interface does not have this problem.
Any Idea what exactly is going on?
Thank you for your attention

SAN BERNARDINO - A controversial plan to outsource the city's Police Department ended Tuesday with a unanimous City Council vote to shelve the proposal, after a report by the Sheriff's Department made clear it outsourcing would save very little money.
The vote came minutes after Chief Robert Handy gave a formal response to the proposal, thanking the Sheriff's Department for its quick and thorough report but advising against further action.
"There's one thing I didn't emphasize in my (written) report, and that's the value that the men and women bring to our community that currently serve our community," Handy said.
A team of 30 police employees had been working off-and-on to analyze the department and any response from the sheriff since November, when the council voted to ask the sheriff how much it would cost to police the city.
Most of that information was not presented, Handy said, given that the Sheriffs Department said it would need $53 million compared to $54 million the city now spends - but wouldn't provide many of the services police now do, including animal control and canine officers.
There would also be a start-up cost that could total $8.7 million and an additional expense associated with switching from the California Public Employee Retirement System to the county retirement system.
The 14-page sheriff's proposal and Handy's two-page response left no doubt as to whether moving forward with outsourcing police would be wise, agreed even those who had pushed for it.
"It obviously doesn't work for us, and frankly, that's fine with me," said Councilman Fred Shorett. "I think we're better off with our own Police Department. If the numbers had been different, that'd be something else. I think we owe it to our taxpayers to study."
Several said they asked for the report, which they said at the time they expected would show no possible savings, to demonstrate to the bankruptcy judge that the city was looking for any possible source of revenue.
CalPERS and the union representing middle managers object to the city's bankruptcy filing, and the court has yet to rule on whether it's eligible for that protection.
"Bankruptcy changes things," said City Attorney James F. Penman. "We're having to study issues that we believe we know the answer to beforehand. This one, while it stressed our employees, it had to be done."

Dan 'Vybz' Welsh 63Kg Pro 11-25-0 firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm not having a go at you Dan, you stepped up on a few days notice and took a fight with a legit middleweight moving down to welter. My issue is with the match making. And not just your fight. Let's say (god forbid) that you were seriously hurt in that fight - how does that look for the sport with such a discrepancy in size and records?
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
Unreal that Parker was in with a Welter and Dan Welsh, his sig says it all 66kgs fighter in with a 77kgs fighter. SafeMMA is all good and well but what can stop there kind of shenanagans?
Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer
The vast majority of the main card was put together on short notice after a series of pullouts. Ivan, Danny etc were all willing to step up when most fighters who you consider credible would not. FaiR play to them and all who competed
I didn't know Ivan stepped up on short notice I thought it was announced they'd fight some weeks ago.
I know you wasnt having a go pal, I just wanted to say my piece.
Although my record isnt good......at 9-24 actually pretty poor it doesnt really reflect the fighter I am.
Anyone can get "seriously hurt" in a fight regardless of records. I have been in with far bigger and better opponents then Tolley (no disrespect to him) the chances of me being hurt were very slim ( and I wasn't the one who left the cage covered in blood!)
I have fought just about every prospect in the UK at most weights and been fine.
Tolley may have an unbeaten record but look at the calibre of fighters.
Yes he is a good fighter yes but to make out this was a dangerous match is pretty far fetched based on our records and a couple of kilos in weight!
But thanks for caring for my safety
Dan 'Vybz' Welsh 63Kg Pro 11-25-0 email@example.com
Who was offered these fights?
How many top 30 guys in the YourMMA rankings got an email about that fight?
I bet very few if any.
Easier to grab a bantamweight and get a win for Tolly.
Jay Dodds has has a lot of fights in against a first timer with no MMA experience who was KO'd in 29 seconds.
Also the guy who was ko'd in 6 seconds was the same, no mma but thrown to the wolves.
Pull outs are 1 thing but seriously no one can say that is good.
I think ANY event putting on fights like that should be made aware its not something that's acceptable.
When SnA sticks a card like that together ill expect to get flamed.
Luckily that will never happen

In an effort to create a faithful replica of the "tyrant king," Piccini oversaw every detail of this model's development, from the first rough clay structure to the final production of the mold. Even the coloration of the bones has been carefully selected to imitate a fossilized skeleton. This 54-piece model snaps together without glue, and at 43" long, it turns any room into a natural history museum. The instruction diagram doubles as an informative poster, and it comes with a 16-page booklet describing the characteristics and environments of this awe-inspiring Cretaceous beast. Ages 6 and up. 18" H x 6" W x 43" L. (7 lbs.)

The Young Paleontologist's Authentic T-R
By Donkey
from Ponte Vedra, FL
Best Uses
Parts of the dinosaur are easily distinguished. This dinosaur was a very complex machine in it's day! I hope I can find more models of dinosaurs like this. You really have to muscle the parts together. Once I get it assembled I am only going to glue it in 4 sections so I can move it in one box. Carrying out the door in one piece will take up a lot of room.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It has not been completely assembled yet but will sit on it's stand in my room. VERY lifelike! T-Rex has always been my favorite!

What is this homo pish?
ban please mods
What a Prat
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies
Thats easy as shit. Hes holding the top of the pole, holding both hands ROUND the pole makes it difficult, and holding your body straight in a "Flagpole" is the effective way to do it.
That said, its still a load of shit.
This is not a gif. It is an actual video of Fedor doing infinate press ups.
Not bad ii suppose.. nothing overly impressive though!
