Teen's Milk Buddy Donation Honors Dad
On May 16, 2012, Addison Mansfield delivered a donation of $3,000.00 to the N.C. Cancer Hospital in support of the MILK BUDDY Program. Six hundred cases of nutrition supplement will be purchased in honor and memory of her father, James Mansfield, through this special gift.
Addison, a student at Duke School, had a clear direction for her final 8th grade project…making a difference in the lives of families dealing with cancer. Her goal was to raise money for the Comprehensive Cancer Support Program's Milk Buddy Program, a program that offers free cases of high calorie, high protein nutrition supplement to patients in need at the N.C. Cancer Hospital.
Addison first learned about this program when her father was undergoing cancer treatment at the N.C. Cancer Hospital. After preparing an informative presentation about this worthy cause, Addie went out into the community and bravely shared her own story of the loss of her father and how the nutrition supplement program supported him and others who are unable to eat well while receiving cancer treatment. She drew courage from her father's strength and united her community in support. The tremendous result is a tribute to James Mansfield AND his incredible daughter, Addison Mansfield.

Since 2009, Camp BDK has provided summer academic enrichment activities to as many as 94 local elementary school students.
For those of you who can't wait until the day when your teenage daughter spends your hard-earned cash on a whim, well, your day may finally be here.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) has removed a book from one of its summer reading lists, after a Camden High School parent expressed concern about profanity used in the book recommended for high school students.
In a letter to Lugoff-Elgin High School parents Mike and Marti Gogan, Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan said there is no money missing from the high school's cheerleading account.
Ah, summer is finally here.
With no official word on the state budget before Tuesday's Kershaw County Board of School Trustees meeting, school board members were still unable to pass the school district's 2011-12 fiscal year budget.
Lugoff-Elgin High School (L-EHS) parent Mike Gogan filed an incident report against L-EHS last week, in an effort to recover what he believes is missing money from the school's cheerleading account. According to the incident report, Gogan estimated there is about $6,000 to $9,000 missing.
The Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce announced the newest additions to its board of directors during its meeting Thursday. Robbie Powers, owner of Powers Funeral Home, will serve as chamber president.
Father's Day never fails to stress me out, and I'm not just saying that because I'm convinced that no one will care that my birthday is the very next day.
For years, Robert Marsh owned and operated Hofield Farms in Camden, providing county residents with everything from sweet corn to watermelons to tomatoes.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) technology plan includes five sections that address students, professional development, instruction, communications and technical support -- guidelines that KCSD Director for Technology Phyllis David said the school district will look toward during the next five years.
When Tony Boykin stepped into the Camden High School's (CHS) old building on Laurens Street more than 40 years ago, he had no way of knowing how many memories would be created in Memorial Hall.
With the state budget still up in the air, the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees were still unable to pass a 2011-12 fiscal year budget during its meeting Tuesday evening.
I'm getting old, which is a realization that hit me like a sack of bricks when my husband John and I went to the movies recently.
Are female athletes being treated the same as male athletes at Lugoff-Elgin High School (L-EHS)? Marti and Mike Gogan decided to find out after realizing money raised to buy cheerleader uniforms was being used to cover other costs. If the answer is "yes," the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) could find itself in violation of Title IX federal funding regulations.

As news of a 15-percent decline in software sales for the month of June begins to sink in, analysts are looking for ways to buoy the sagging video game industry. One analyst, Michael Pachter for Wedbush Morgan Securities, is suggesting that part of the cause for the industry's four consecutive months of decline might be because of the rise of online gaming. And his solution is to change online gaming to a subscription-based model.
"We think that the overall decline was due to a very large number of people playing multiplayer online games for free on PlayStation Network, and for an annual fee with unlimited game play on Xbox Live," Pachter told Industry Gamers. "We estimate that a total of 12 million consumers are playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for an average of 10 hours per week on the two platforms' respective networks, and the continued enjoyment of this game (along with an estimated 6 million Halo online players, 3 million EA Sports players, and 5 million players playing other games, such as Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, Left 4 Dead and Grand Theft Auto) has sucked the available time away from what otherwise would be spent playing newly purchased games."
Pachter also blamed Nintendo's bundles (that sell two games but only count as one in terms of sales), as well as consumers buying clearance and used software. But the real problem, according to Pachter, is the increased value of online gaming that encourages a longer lifespan for the games which discourages gamers from buying new games.
As the Call of Duty series is far and away the online leader for consoles, Pachter recommends that Activision lead by example and begin to charge for online gaming. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has already stated that he would like to take the Call of Duty franchise in the direction of a subscription model, and he – somewhat bewilderingly- thinks that gamers are excited by the prospect t0o.
"I think our audiences are clamoring for it. If you look at what they're playing on Xbox Live today, we've had 1.7 billion hours of multiplayer play on Live," Kotick told the Wall Street Journal "I think we could do a lot more to really satisfy the interests of the customers. I think we could create so many things, and make the game even more fun to play. We haven't really had a chance to do that yet."
Whether or not the fans are "clamoring for it" or not, the Call of Duty franchise seems to be unstoppable for now, as the next game in the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops, has already seen more pre-orders than its record breaking predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Black Ops is due November 9.
"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetization of multiplayer. It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, microtransaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty Black Ops launches," Pachter said.
Despite the sales numbers, the outlook might not be as bleak as it seems for the industry. Software sales are sagging, but hardware has actually seen an increase, and some analysts – including the NPD Group's Anita Frazier – believe that sales should rebound by the end of the year.
"Looking at historical seasonality for the industry, total year U.S. revenues (of new physical sales) could come in anywhere between $18 and $21 billion," Frazier said. "Given the strong slate of content still to come, and the release of the Move and Kinect controllers, which I believe will spark additional interest in gaming, I think we could see the total year new physical retail sales come in at $20B. We'll also be reporting consumer reported sales of digitally distributed, rental and used games content to provide insight into those non-POS sources of game sales."
As of now, this is still all speculation, but if Kotick has his way and Activision does begin to charge for its online gaming in order to make up for lost revenue from declining software sales, expect others to follow suit.

When I met Dick and Deanne Fink on Sept. 11, 2012, I was impressed with their devotion to one another each other. Deanne had been diagnosed with ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease — in April 2010. Despite her worsening condition, she was eager to be interviewed for Love Notes. But just 16 days after our conversation, Deanne passed away. We had not planned decided not to publish the Finks' story out of respect for the bereaved, but Dick, 71, and his family urged us to share their love story.
Dick Fink first met Deanne Steams Minor when they were eighth-graders at Countryside School in Barrington. His fascination with her continued through high school, but unfortunately the attraction appeared to be one-sided.
"I tried to ask her out, but she was too busy," Dick recalled.
Deanne, in fact, told him she had "bigger fish to fry." This in spite of the fact that Dick was a high school quarterback and quite the catch. (Deanne would laughingly call him "a little stud muffin.")
So Dick tried to forget about her.
"I dated some of her friends," Dick said, "and went to different dances because she wasn't available. So I had to do something, right?"
After graduation, Dick went to Bradley University in Peoria and Deanne remained in Barrington.
"She started going out with a friend of mine named Terry," Dick said. "One day he said, 'Deanne says she wants to go out with you, so why don't you ask her out?' and I said, 'Well, you're going out with her.' And he said, 'Well, not really.' "
It turns out Deanne thought of Terry like a brother and apparently no longer had so many fish in the frying pan. And that's how, the summer after Dick's college freshman year, he and Deanne went on their first date. They spent it on a Lake Michigan beach, where they looked up and saw the sky filled with shooting stars.
"It's a silly thing," Dick said, "but you're supposed to kiss each other when the shooting star went by. I was trying, but she wasn't subscribing to that logic."
Well, they eventually kissed, and a romance blossomed. They were married in 1963 at St. Anne Catholic Church in Barrington.
Their first child, Kathryn, was followed by two more daughters, Heidi and Heather. Enjoying their growing family, the Finks hit a stumbling block when they discovered that Heidi had special needs.
"Initially they said we would have to institutionalize her," Dick recalled. "That was the normal thing at that time. But we fought the system; we fought the state for funding."
The challenges Dick and Deanne encountered could have torn them apart, but instead they brought them closer together.
"This was 40 years ago," Dick explained. "They wanted to 'mainstream' her and have her go to regular class, and we rejected their plan and wound up getting funding until she was 21."
And then, of course, the latest, biggest challenge for the pair was Deanne's illness. Every night was different, Dick recalled, of the years he took care of Deanne.
"That's the strange thing about this disease — it's always different the way it affects the body. One day you can digest your food, and the next day you can't. … And as you take on this kind of responsibility (as a caregiver), you do grow more patient, more tolerant, more understanding."
Deanne did her best to put on a strong front. She wanted to make Dick happy and show her kids that she was "a tough cookie."
When Dick was asked what it was about Deanne that drew him to her in the first place, back when they were carefree teenagers, he paused and smiled. "There was just something about her. A real sparkle in her eye. And Deanne had a wonderful sense of humor; she always did. I think that's what … helped her so much through all of this."
Postscript: When I called Dick to tell him we would be running their love story, he was still grieving but held their happy love story close to his heart as well.
"You know, the day you were here," he told me, "she was so excited, and she really wanted to tell her story. She had a wonderful afternoon that day. That was probably the best she'd been in months, actually."
Heidi, their developmentally challenged daughter, has become his ally. Deanne died on Heidi's birthday, and a nurse comforted their daughter by telling her that Deanne was her Christmas angel.
"That helped Heidi a lot," Dick said. "She's actually a good support. … If she sees me wavering, she's always there."
The day Deanne died, he said, she "had this twinkle in her eye. … She gave me that look that got me interested initially, and she was saying goodbye without saying it. We both knew what she meant, though. It's hard to put into words. … You just have to surround yourself with people you care about.
"A long life can still feel short-lived," Dick concluded. "You have to cherish every moment."

About the Book
Al Qaeda terrorists detonate an atomic bomb in Washington, DC, changing the lives of Americans forever. But, no life is changed more than that of James Lincoln Night-Wolf Anderson, Secretary of Agriculture in the administration of President Joshua Merkelson. In the inferno of the explosion, Jim Anderson loses the love of his life, his wife of 40 years, Liz, and is thrust violently into the presidency. Along with his own grief and anger, he inherits the fears of a nation and the task of finding out who has perpetrated this evilness upon America. He must reassure those who now work for him, reassure a nation in fear, and reassure himself that America can survive this devastating blow. Ripped right from the headlines of the world's newspapers, For All The Marbles examines not only the challenges our nation would face if the government leadership was decapitated, but also addresses those ugly issues from America's own past, when we treated Native American's with such disdain and treated African Americans as sub-human. Now that America is on the other end of evilness, will there be an understanding of just how a people feel when their land is taken from them unjustifiably? Will there be an awareness of just how awful it was that a race of people was treated as property? As a half-Sioux, Jim Anderson understands, but his task will be to communicate the same awareness to a frightened and angry nation. At the same time, he will have to fight those who would simply destroy America. He will have to prove that goodness can come from something that was born out of such a sordid past. At the same time, he will be faced with saving America, with all of its warts, from those who are determined to see "the great Satan" removed from the face of the planet. For his own ancestry, his wife, his son, and for the grandson he never had, President James Anderson will have to compete in a battle of wits with his own cabinet and with terrorists who have taken half of the United States - and are determined to have the rest. He will have to use all of the resources available to him as president. More than any time since the country was formed, he will have to play this game for keeps, because this time he is playing for America's survival. This time, America is playing.... ...For All The Marbles!

Why choose Gandi for your hosting service?
The power of a dedicated server
Gandi provides the power of a dedicated server with the flexibility and reliability of a VPS.
If we look at the history of the hosting market, it all began with large dedicated servers that were out of the reach of many companies or individuals, who then turned to so-called "shared" hosting plans. As it turned out, the power of these plans did not match the needs of the demand, and so the market slowly turned to increasingly cheap dedicated hosting plan, though at the expense of quality.
Over the past 2 to 3 years, with the the arrival of modern hypervisors, VPS offers have taken the relay since they combine the abilities and stability of a dedicated server with the flexibility, security, and power of virtualization and its infrastructure. And of course, it is able to do so at an affordable price.
In 2007, Gandi's Research and Development team set out to create our own VPS service, one that would be based on the Xen open-source hypervisor.
We provide server shares that are dedicated, clearly defined, stable, and powerful. You can therefore determine the power that you need with precision and only spend what is strictly necessary. Even better, you may also redefine the power of your server in real time - when you want, without needing to stop it, and in only a couple of minutes. This type of emerging technology is often referred to as being a Cloud Infrastructure.
A Gandi VPS reacts just like a dedicated server that you created by yourself, though without having the hardware concerns. In our case, if there is a hardware problem, your VPS is instantly migrated to another machine, without any need for intervention or disruption in service. With regards to accessibility, as with a dedicated server, you have full autonomous control over your server and may configure it as you wish.
Finally, not only can the power of your VPS be scaled in terms of power, but also in terms of duration! If you need a lot of power over a short period of time, it just takes a few minutes to create your server or resize the one that you have. You will be billed accordingly, on an hourly basis, being debited via the 'on-demand' mode through your prepaid account or, thanks to Gandi credits, if you have purchased any (to benefit from the reduced price). And what if you want to stop your server and return to it later? We will only bill you for the resources used, which would be disk space and the reservation of your IPv4, that will let you come back when you want and wake up your server, so it will be ready to go right away!
For example, a server with one core, 512 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk space will cost, in production, 212/hour, or €0.02/h or €15.12/month (in on-demand mode). If you stop this server, its hourly price then goes down to 65, or €4.68 month!
The best way to understand our unique system is to try it for yourself. There are too many advantages to be ignored: if you have never had a server at Gandi, we invite you to try one for free by configuring your server and then by clicking on the button to "get 30,0000 free!".

the logo should ooze credibility and style.
Feel free to sign up as a designer for updates on the site so we can keep you posted.
people looking or thinking about getting a tattoo
- darker colors (black, red, blue, purple)
- '"custom tattoo" should be the larger more emphasized font, also a dark color
- "ink" needs to have a period after it
- simple is better
- the website background will be a light color like white, grey, tan, etc...
this will essentially start the overall flow and look of the website so their aren't much requirement. I'm open to seeing anything and everything.
do not include this anymore. "Post it. Pick it. Ink it." it will go somewhere else on the site now.
- The "Ink." is supposed to be a creative twist on Inc. so I think their should def be a period but it doesn't necessarily have to look like the "inc." type of logo/font.
I'll give feedback and provide comments along the way. let me know if you have questions along the way. Thanks for looking or submitting!!

Elodie's Fun & Feminine Studio
Name: Elodie
Location: Paris, France
I'm a fashion blogger, designer and interior architect and I recently did took some pics of my very little home in Paris — it's a 26 square meter (280 square feet!) studio where I had to find creative solutions to using the space. And I did! We have a little bedroom, a huge wardrobe, a desk to work at home, a dining space and a great living room.
I live here with my fiancé and my 2 cats. I'm very inspired by fairy tales and small British sailors' homes in France. I love when an apartment is full of little things. I bought all my furniture at IKEA and then accessorized with vintage objects found on eBay or in my grandparents' attic.
Here is a link to the post I made about it on my blog.
Thanks, Elodie!

Sunday AMC aired the midseason finale of the #1 TV show in America, The Walking Dead. It is no lie that season 7 has fallen short of expectations with the show moving a bit into the torture porn area, but has redeemed itself in recent weeks. The midseason finale brought action, laughs, smiles, and tears as the entire cast were pushed to the brink. I fully believe that AMC delivered it's best episode all season. As we move into the second half of this season, I am going to rank the remaining survivors...

So I am going to be replaying Crystal for well over the 100th time starting tonight. As always, the most difficult part of replaying this game is deciding on a team to use as I have used every single mon available in this game so many times. I figured that I'd make use of this hella dead blog and ask you all for team suggestions! My most recent Crystal team was: Ursaring, Sunflora, Lanturn, Delibird, Kadabra, and Dragonite so I won't be using any of these. I'd like the team to have one Pokemon that...

Those of you who follow me on Twitter are probably aware that I am doing a playthrough of Pokemon X using only the "early bugs" found in each region. The reasoning behind this challenge was simply wanting to do something super difficult yet fun. I loveeee bug types so much so I think I made a good decision :^) My teammates are all named after some of my closest friends from a skype chat: Syndrome, Oddish, Cay, Noa, Omi, and Asian Kev(Lala).

STOCKTON - With entrance into the West Coast Conference looming next fall, Pacific is adding three sports.
STOCKTON - With entrance into the West Coast Conference looming next fall, Pacific is adding three sports.
Athletic director Ted Leland announced the school will be adding women's beach volleyball and long distance track this spring and men's soccer in the fall of 2015. The WCC will be adding softball as a sport, so with the return of men's soccer, Pacific meets the conference's sports requirements and will now offer 19 sports.
Leland plans to hire a men's soccer coach in the fall and wants to have a program up and running by the fall of 2014, with a trial season before entering the WCC the following year.
"The cost of salaries and travel will be covered by the increased WCC income and the NCAA pool money, but the challenge we're having is finding the money for (9.9) scholarships," Leland said. "It will come from our internal budget."
There will be little cost incurred with women's beach volleyball and track programs, which will be put under the umbrella of current coaches. Leland said the sports were added after he received an enthusiastic response from women's volleyball players and cross country runners about participating in the new programs.
Women's volleyball coach Greg Gibbons and his 14 student-athletes will comprise the beach program, which plans to play approximately eight tournaments this February-April as part of the Northern California Sand Volleyball Consortium that will include other major programs in the region. Gibbons said this will offer his athletes a different way to train in the offseason, adding the sport could be a difference-maker in recruiting with beach volleyball's burgeoning popularity on the West Coast club scene.
"This decision says that we take volleyball really serious," Gibbons said. "From a recruiting standpoint it helps a tremendous amount because we can offer both, and that can be a tiebreaker."
Freshman opposite Kat Schulz was a standout beach volleyball player while growing up in Phoenix and should comprise Pacific's top tandem along with French redshirt freshman Anne-Sophie Bauer, who played for her national team in the World Championships in 2009 as a 16-year-old. Gibbons said the initial format calls for teams having five duos play a best-of-five series.
"I'm very excited because I love playing beach," Schulz said. "It's a completely different dynamic because there's only two of you, so there's never confusion about your role."
Pacific will play in various tournaments throughout the region in the spring, but Leland hopes to have a sand pit and homecourt in place by 2014.
Cross country coach Josh Jones will also run the new track program and has already scheduled seven meets for the team in the spring all around Northern California. Jones is hopeful of having runners on events from 800 meters and up.
"This is how it is normally around the country," Jones said. "This gives us an opportunity to run year-round, which is more attractive to recruits."
Leland said he mulled eliminating sports over budget concerns, but decided it wouldn't be worth it.
"It's just not something we need to do," said Leland, who has been an athletic director at Dartmouth and Stanford. "I've never dropped a sport in my career. If you drop a sport, you're probably dropping an underfunded sport, so you don't save much money anyway."

New Lady Gaga Track, "Aura," Leaks
Little Monsters around the world have been clamoring for something new from Lady Gaga after having to endure two years without sustenance. Lucky for them, "Aura," the first taste of music from Mother Monster's upcoming ARTPOP album, leaked online last night.
Hopefully it's still in rough demo form. There are a few diamonds in the new track, but they're buried under so much rubbish that it comes off as more a junkyard than a jewelry store. Perhaps, if this is not already the final version, the official ARTPOP track will shine a bit more brightly.
Gaga also released a new image on Twitter last night, posted above.
Be quiet children. The song is great, as usual, AND as usual, a bunch of morons are spouting vitriolic hate and ignorance every time they hear Gaga. It always amazes me how the people who hate her have got to run to anything she always does in order to spout crap in order to bring her down and make sure of it. Do us all a favor, run to the bathroom and take your enema. You desperately need it.

Gov. Rick Scott issued the following statement today after American Airlines' announcement that it expects to reduce their Florida workforce by 1,400 workers before the end of the year.
"American Airlines' announcement today is certainly bad news for their company and a setback for hundreds of Florida families. We are focused on growing our economy so every Floridian has access to a great job because we know that having the opportunity to work hard and provide for your children is the heart of the American dream.
"I asked the Department of Economic Opportunity Director Hunting Deutsch to work with the Southwest Florida Workforce Investment Board, the Beacon Council, the Miami Chamber of Commerce and the associated labor unions to immediately develop a plan to transition these highly skilled aviation workers into other jobs. We know that Florida workers want to work, and assisting them in identifying other opportunities in our state is a top priority."
Scott aggresively shut down a Bloomberg reporter Tuesday who asked about a recent report that suggests Florida may be creating less jobs than the governor claims.

13 March (Roman Church)
25 July (Greek Church)
Roman nobility, the daughter of Antigonus, senator of Constantinople. Related to Roman emperor Theodosius I who finished the conversion of Rome to a Christian state. He father died soon after Euphrasia was born; she and her mother became wards of the emperor.
When Euphrasia when only five years old, the emperor arranged a marriage for her the son of a senator. Two years later, she and her mother moved to their lands in Egypt. There, while still a child, Euphrasia entered a convent; her mother died soon after of natural causes, leaving the novice an orphan.
At age twelve, she was ordered by the emperor Aracdius, successor to Theodosius, to marry the senator's son as arranged. Eurphasia reuqested that she be relieved of the marriage arrangement, that the emperor sell off her family property, and that he use the money to feed the poor and buy the freedom of slaves. Arcadius agreed, and Euphyrasia spent her life in the Egyptian convent.
Noted for her prayer life, and constant self-imposed fasting; she would sometimes spend the day carrying heavy stones from one place to another to exhaust her body and get her mind off temptations. She suffered through gossip and false allegations, much of it the result of being a foreigner in her house. Held up as a model by Saint John Damascene.

The Fourth Arkentool
No Proposed Canon or Canon sections are expected or necessary, and Speculation herein does not need to be otherwise marked or noted as being such. Once enough canon information surfaces to allow for actual conclusions to be drawn, this notice can be removed and the normal content sections created.
Parson's Stupid Meal claimed there were four known Arkentools Erf-b1-p039, but only three have been identified. What is the fourth? Are there more?
Is it possible the fourth Arkentool already been introduced but simply not identified?
Is there a fifth? If so, will it invoke its constitutional right to remain secret?
Possible 4th Arkentools
This would presumably allow wholesale reshaping of the terrain, as when the volcano was uncroaked.(ref. needed).
A great pun, but who would use it? A Gump, perhaps? A Stagemancer (i.e. magician sawing an assistant in half)?
The 4th Arkentool could be Parson's armband. It was after he received it that he scored his greatest 'victory.'(ref. needed)
The armband did not do anything until Parson inserted his watch (ref. needed). This could provide a bilingual pun: The German word for "wristwatch" is "Armbanduhr."
- Arkendrill
- Arkenwelder
- Arkenlever
- Arkenpulley
- Arkenscrewdriver
- Arkenwrench
- Arkensander
- Arkenawl
- Arkenthimble
- Arkenhoe (not a reference to Wanda)
- Arkenpastrybag
- Arkenallenwrench (a healomancy tool... for those too young to catch the bad pun)
Possible Owners of the 4th Arkentool
I'm going to stop saying (ref. needed), 'cause it's obvious.
Parson Gotti
He is the protagonist of the story, after all. We could imagine a scene where he gets a hold of the Arkenhammer, and it turns shiny. We'd get to call it "Maxwell's Silver Arkenhammer."
Wanda Firebaugh
Who says people are only allowed to attune to one arkentool? Maybe there's an 'Arkenfireball.' Or an 'Arkenroom', 'Arkencloset' or 'ArkenKohls' where a character can go to get cool new costumes.

Strength in Facebook's mobile advertising performance will boost shares to $37 within 12 months, Aaron Kessler of Raymond James said Friday on CNBC.
"I think in the near-term there is going to be upside to Q1 estimates here," he said. "I think a few things are going on."
On "Fast Money," Kessler said that Facebook was showing improvement in advertising and its ad-exchange service, FBX, was "gaining some traction."
Kessler's price target was $1 lower than at Facebook's initial public offering on May 18.
"We think mobile will be strong in the quarter," he added.
Rosecliff Capital's Mike Murphy said he thought the stock had potential.
"I think Facebook is completely underloved," he said. "I think if we get a positive surprise to the upside as they're looking for, you're going to see the stock break above $30 quickly."
OptionMonster's Pete Najarian, who owned Facebook stock, said that advertising budgets from the likes of eBay and Expedia would bode well for the social media giant.
"Some of the data we've seen suggests pretty good interaction with mobile advertising on Facebook," he said.
Trader disclosure: On April 26, 2013, the following stocks and commodities mentioned or intended to be mentioned on CNBC's "Fast Money" were owned by the "Fast Money" traders: Mike Murphy is long AAPL; Mike Murphy is long BAC; Mike Murphy is long INTC; Pete Najarian is long AAPL; Pete Najarian is long BAC CALLS; Pete Najarian is long JPM CALLS; Pete Najarian is long INTC CALLS; Pete Najarian is long BBRY; Pete Najarian is short SBUX puts; Pete Najarian is long FB; Pete Najarian is long MSFT; Pete Najarian is long PEP; Pete Najarian is long BMY; Pete Najarian is long KBH CALLS; Pete Najarian is long F CLALS; Pete Najarian is long JSO CALLS; Pete Najarian is long SIMC CALLS; Pete Najarian is long MBI CALLS; Pete Najarian is long GNW CALLS; Joe Terranova is long VRTS; Joe Terranova is long SJM; Joe Terranova is long IBM; Joe Terranova is long SPLK; Joe Terranova is long SWN; Jon Najarian is long GTAT; Jon Najarian is long CTSH; Jon Najarian is long LEN; Jon Najarian is long DHI; Jon Najarian is long XHB; Jon Najarian is long NFLX PUTS.

Dropping mines or banana peels, shooting missiles or shells, it is all expected, but we are taking the action racing one step further by proposing a much more innovative and complex system :
- Machine guns, missiles and mines: the classic arsenal will be right where it should be.
- Fuel Overdose introduces an innovative and central new weapon, a grapple.
- Bombs are placed all along the race track available for any racers to blow them up at any time.
- Much as in fighting games, each character has his strengths and weaknesses. Each character even has a series of special moves and attacks that are unique and different from the others.
Fuel Overdose other ambition is to bring in to the genre a real tactical dimension through the depth of its weapon systems, upgrades and many other new game mechanics.
- Each player has a limited budget to load his weapons and prepare his race strategy. No pick up items along the road, and if you are ranking last with one lap to go don't hope for a magic mushroom because it's not going to come your way.
- The race organizers give every driver the opportunity to enter an auction before the race start where the winning bidder can win a decisive edge for the race. And when the die is cast, there is no turning back, the winner will take it all and the losers will leave broke.
- Fighting is also a central part of the strategy in the game and choosing to go for an early super attack or saving up for an ultra attack can turn out to be decisive, so play wisely.
- Finally, before every race the drivers will be able to customize and upgrade their rides and gears or go altogether for a new car.
We like to think of Fuel Overdose as a "Tactical- Action-Racing" game:
- Action: From the large array of upgradable weapons one can expect for such a game, Fuel Overdose also features innovative and fun weapons and game mechanics such as a grapple that can be used both offensively and defensively, bomb detonators along the road, and a whole fighting system that offers unique skills moves and attacks to each character of the game.
- Tactical: With Fuel Overdose, the choices made before and during the race have a real impact on your chances of success. The game leaves no room for luck and features a resource management system for the vehicles and weaponry, a super/ultra attack gauge inherited from the versus fighting genre as well as auction events than can bring a decisive edge to win races.
- Racing: Fuel Overdose is not a combat-arena game, it is, as its core, a racing game that requires driving skills and that allows and values different racing styles and a diverse garage of vehicles, themselves all customizable to improve their driving and performance.

Although known for a diversity of seasons and temperatures, and even some snow, some parts of Canada, specifically in British Columbia have very mild winters.
Traditionally a country of immigrants, Canadians are proud of their nation's diversity, with one in three Canadians possessing an ethnic background other than British, French or indigenous.
Generally, as a student living in Canada you can expect a peaceful, multicultural environment with people who are friendly and interested in learning about new cultures. As a bonus, Canada borders the US and offers easy access to travel experiences there.
According to the International Monetary Fund, Canada is among the top 10 wealthiest nations in the world. With its highly regarded education system, dedication to growth and expansion, and strong economic climate, Canada is an ideal location to study for a higher education degree.

Buy all 40 spreadsheets for only $11.95!
Product Description
Ever try entering extracted census data into your genealogy program's text editor? You probably noticed that it isn't set up for the kind of information recorded in census tables. The mess and frustration led to the creation of our first spreadsheet in 2001 so the data could be electronically preserved in an easy to view format. 40+ genealogy spreadsheets later, CensusTools provides researchers with quality tools to electronically record, preserve and archive family history data.
This 40 Spreadsheet Pack includes:
Each set that has more than two census years features the main spreadsheet as well as a Tracker and Checklist. Also included are a research checklist, a cemetery log, a ship manifest log, and a family group report. Want to see them? Check out our spreadsheet screenshots.
Record and Analyze
Using a spreadsheet is a great way to record your genealogy data in a format similar to the original source. All of the census spreadsheets reproduce actual census document formatting, providing you with a professional appearing product suitable for printing or including in your published family history. CensusTools spreadsheets are also valuable analysis tools. The Tracker series allows a researcher to analyze all available census data for an individual on a single worksheet! At a glance and in a very professional appearing report, you can trace the important aspects of your ancestors' lives. Your pile of census data,difficult to analyze and evaluate scattered about in a pile of extraction sheets, comes alive when properly organized!
U.S. Federal Census
The CensusTools U.S. Federal spreadsheet collection includes worksheets for each census year from 1790-1940 and several U.S.special census records. Complementing the Federal spreadsheet files are the 1850-1860 Slave Schedules, 1850-1880 Mortality Schedules, 1883 List of Pensioners, the 1890 Surviving Veterans and Widows Schedule, and Dawes Roll.
State Census
Often overlooked as a genealogical resource, many individual states conducted their own census operations, usually at 10 year intervals between federal enumerations. Of particular interest are records from 1885 and 1895 which can help bridge the 1880-1900 federal gap caused by the loss of most of the 1890 records. CensusTools currently offers state spreadsheets for Iowa 1836-1925,Kansas 1865-1925, Massachusetts 1855-1865, Minnesota 1849-1895, New Jersey 1855-1915, New York 1825-1925, Rhode Island 1865-1935and Wisconsin 1836-1905. Each set collection features the main spreadsheet as well as a Tracker and Checklist.
International Census
CensusTools went international with the release of spreadsheets for Canada 1851-1921, England 1841-1901, Ireland 1821-1911 and Scotland 1841-1891, all similar to the U.S. Federal in design.
Cemetery Data
The CensusTools Cemetery Data spreadsheet enables a researcher to record data in two generic formats. The "Cemetery Listing"worksheet is formatted to record multiple burials in a single cemetery. By using the "Family Listing" worksheet, family members buried in different cemeteries can be grouped together.
Passenger Manifest Data
Though there is no standard format for passenger ship records, the CensusTools Manifest spreadsheets include common, genealogically-significant data fields to record your immigrant ancestor's arrival in America. This workbook also includes two spreadsheets, a "Ship Listing" and a "Family Listing", similar in purpose to the Cemetery spreadsheet.
Research Checklist
The CensusTools Genealogy Research Checklist is a tremendous resource which allows the user to check off data types researched for any person in their database. There are over 125 data types listed, from the obvious like birth certificates to the obscure such as tombstone rubbings. In addition, there is a column listing 40 online data sources with links provided for easy access. Say goodbye to the frustration of forgetting what data types and sources have already been reviewed for an ancestor!
Family Group Report
The CensusTools Family Group Report can be used in place of commercial genealogy software. Finished worksheets can be shared with family and friends via e-mail, printed for hard copy records or book projects, or exported from Excel in HTML format for a web page presentation.
Buy all 40+ spreadsheets for only $11.95!
All CensusTools spreadsheets were created with MS Excel and saved in Excel 97 format. A version of MS Excel for PC or MAC at least as recent as 97 is required to use the spreadsheets. PDF versions of all worksheets are included for anyone without access to MS Excel or to those who just want high quality extraction sheets.

Speakers of a language can almost always detect when a person is not a native speaker, even when little auditory information is presented to them or when the raters are bilinguals themselves. These limits on the phonetic behavior of bilinguals are not easily overcome--second language learners retain a "foreign accent" even after years of exposure to (and use of) their second language. A recurrent
finding is that the earlier in life learners are exposed to their second language, the more likely they are to be able to minimize the consequences of these limitations. What is the etiology of the effects of age on phonetic learning? Over the years, scholars have proposed a number of explanations, from domain-specific neural crystallization (loss of plasticity) during early adolescence to the continued
interference of the first language on the second.The latter has received a great deal of support, so much so that most (if not all) models of second language speech learning and/or bilingual phonetics include operationalizations of the role of first-and-second language (interlingual) phonetic interactions. The present paper explores the hypothesis that the two phonetic systems of bilinguals are both active
during processing and that these interact in real time. For this study, highly fluent early-onset bilinguals participated in two experimental sessions, a unilingual session and a bilingual session. Perception and production data were gathered. Acoustic analyses of production data show that the enhanced activation of
one language affects (attracts) the sounds of the other one. These effects, however, are apparently modulated by language experience, so that interlingual phonetic interactions are more salient for some bilinguals than for others. The paper concludes by putting forth an account of these findings modeled on theories of bilingual lexical activation (e.g., Kroll & Dijkstra 2002; de Bot, Lowie, and Verspoor, 2005); in this model, the simultaneous, real-time activation of two lexicons necessarily activates the phonetic detail of lexical representations, which are responsible for the observed interlingual phonetic "system" interactions. The SIP Colloquium is a venue to share and discuss current research by SIP faculty, graduate students and guests.

Brees leads Saints to 38-17 win over Dolphins
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees made his latest claim to the moniker of Mr. Monday Night.
He also gave the Miami Dolphins another reason to regret not making a harder push to sign him when they had the chance seven years ago.
Brees passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and the New Orleans Saints turned a clash of unbeaten teams into a lopsided affair, beating Miami 38-17 on Monday night.
"I felt like we found our rhythm," Brees said. "Every time we touched the ball, it felt like we were going to go down and score points."
Two of Brees' touchdowns went to Jimmy Graham for 27 and 43 yards as the tight end had at least 100 yards receiving for the third straight game.
Brees' other scoring strikes went to Benjamin Watson and Darren Sproles, who also rushed for a touchdown.
"He plays out of this world," Graham said. "This team is so dynamic, we have so many weapons and Drew knows exactly where to go with the ball."
Sproles' 5-yard scoring run on the game's opening series gave the Saints a lead they would not relinquish en route to their first 4-0 start since their Super Bowl championship season of 2009. It also further accentuated what a turnaround the Saints have made since coach Sean Payton served his bounty ban last season, which New Orleans opened with four losses.
"We like this a lot better," Brees said of the 4-0 start. "Everything that could have gone wrong for us went wrong. Fortunately we're having the ball bounce our way this year. We're playing good football."
Ryan Tannehill passed for 249 yards and a touchdown to Charles Clay, but his four turnovers on a fumble and three interceptions hurt Miami (3-1).
"We're not happy. Obviously you don't want to come out and perform like that," Tannehill said. "But you look at it and there are things you can correct."
The Saints have won their last nine Monday night games, all with Brees at quarterback and often putting on some of his most memorable performances.
There was his 307-yard, four-TD performance against Atlanta late in the 2011 season, the same game in which he broke Dan Marino's 27-year-old record for yards passing in a season.
Earlier that same season, Brees threw for 363 yards and four scores in a 49-24 Monday night win over the New York Giants.
The Saints' Super Bowl campaign was highlighted by Brees' 371 yards and five touchdowns in New Orleans' stunning 38-17 rout of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
Now his 10th career 400-yard outing has delivered a sobering blow to a Miami team that came in riding a surprising start.
"We'll find out a lot about the team we have by the way we come back tomorrow," Miami coach Joe Philbin said.
When Brees was a free agent in 2006, he drew the most interest from New Orleans and Miami, but the Dolphins, fearful of the effects of reconstructive surgery on Brees throwing shoulder, did not pursue the quarterback as enthusiastically as then-Saints rookie coach Sean Payton. Since then, Brees has become one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history.
During New Orleans' opening drive, Brees became only the seventh quarterback to pass for more than 47,000 yards. He ended the drive with 47,030, surpassing Fran Tarkenton's 47,003 for sixth most yards passing all-time.
Later, Brees' eighth completion gave him 4,124 in his career, one more than John Elway for fourth all-time in that category.
Brees was 30 of 39 against Miami without an interception. Sproles caught seven passes for 114 yards. Marques Colston had seven catches for 96 yards.
Miami's Lamar Miller had 62 yards rushing on 11 carries, including a 5-yard scoring run late in the second quarter that made it 14-10, but the Saints began to run away with the game after that, and as they did, they turned up their pass rush. Tannehill was sacked four times in the second half, once each by Junior Galette, Martez Wilson, Cameron Jordan and Tyrunn Walker.
"I just don't feel that team was as good as everybody was saying they were," Galette said of Miami. "We just abused the offensive line all game."
New Orleans' defense, worst in the league last season but resurgent under new coordinator Rob Ryan, also allowed fewer than 20 points for the fourth time in as many games.
Miami was driving for a potential go-ahead score in the second quarter when Tannehill tried to scramble up the middle and was stripped by linebacker Curtis Lofton. Safety Rafael Bush recovered on the New Orleans 38. That set up a drive that ended with Graham's leaping, juggling catch as three defenders converged on him.
Later in the half, Jabari Greer intercepted a pass intended for Brian Hartline and returned it 22 yards to the Miami 23. Several plays later, Sproles made a catch along the left sideline, spun away from a converging defender and scored his second touchdown with 55 seconds left in the half to make it 21-10.
Notes: Miami's 79 Monday night games are the most by any team. The Dolphins fell to 40-39 in those games. ... Payton has now coached in 100 regular season games, going 66-34 (71-37 including playoffs).

Buying Process
Preparing to shop for a home
Here are the key steps to buying a home and how Watson Realty Corp can help make the process easier. It all starts here!
Step One Loan Approval
Before you begin to shop for a home, enhance your buying power by getting
Preapproved or Pre-Qualified
Getting pre-qualified helps you determine how much home you can afford, based on specific financial information you share with your lender. The lender does not verify this information, and consequently there is no guarantee you will qualify for the loan amount. Getting preapproved requires that the lender verify your information, and does serve as a commitment to lend a specified amount based on that verified information. This gives you significant buying power with a seller who recognizes you will be approved for a loan.
What's pre-qualification?
Pre-qualification is an informal discussion between borrower and lender. The lender estimates the amount that you can borrow based solely on what you tell them about your income and assets. The lender does no verification and is not bound to make the loan when you're ready to buy. On the other hand, loan approval is based on documented and verified information regarding your employment, your income, your liabilities, your assets and the cash you have available to close on a home purchase.
How preapproval is better?
To a seller, a lender's preapproval letter is considerable stronger than a pre-qualification letter. If a seller knows your financing is secure, your offer is stronger. Preapproval also gives you peace of mind as you shop for a home, knowing that you will qualify for the proper mortgage amount.

Nissan 370Z Nismo revealed
* Most powerful 370Z coupe launched * Prices from 37,500(est), on sale in June * More Nismo models planned...
This is the Nissan 370Z Nismo, which follows the Juke Nismo as the second car to be launched by the company's hot sub-brand.
The 370Z Nismo will come with a manual gearbox and gets mild engine upgrades over the standard 370Z. Power from the 3.7-litre V6 is up by 14bhp to 339bhp, while torque is up by 6lb ft to 274lb ft. These modifications cut the 0-62mph time by 0.1sec to 5.2sec.
Nissan has developed the car's chassis settings specifically for the European market, with suspension that's 10mm lower and 20% stiffer than the standard car's. A new front splitter, rear diffuser and sizeable wing help the Nissan 370Z Nismo to produce almost as much downforce as the company's GT-R supercar.
On top of this, the 370Z Nismo gets Bridgestone tyres that have been developed specifically for it, as well as sharper throttle response. There's also an Alcantara steering wheel, improved seat bolstering and various interior style tweaks. Exterior changes include wider wheelarches and unique alloys.
Nismo is Nissan's new sporting brand. In the future, most models will get a range-topping Nismo version including the forthcoming Qashqai. Sources also suggest that diesel Nismo models are a possibility.
Sales of the Nissan 370Z Nismo will start in the June. Prices are yet to be confirmed but expect this range-topping 370Z to cost around 37,500. It is unlikely that a Nismo version of the 370Z Convertible will be made.

Not one of the Three Amigos left in this year's national title race should be confused with the greatest teams in history.
They shouldn't even be compared with the best teams in their own history.
Notre Dame is hardly better than Lou Holtz's 1988 squad and Alabama can't match the firepower it had in 2009 or even last year.
Georgia doesn't rate with its 1980 championship team unless there's a time machine that allows freshman Herschel Walker to walk through the front door.
The three teams that survived to the final weekend represent the warmed-over best a flawed system can produce.
Notre Dame, a day after capping a 12-0 season, clinched its first regular-season BCS title.
The Fighting Irish are No.1 in this week's anticlimactic standings, followed by Alabama and Georgia, which play for the second BCS title-game spot at next weekend's Southeastern Conference title game in Atlanta.

CLEVELAND — Rashard Mendenhall leaned on his crutches and bowed his head.
The pain wasn't unbearable for Pittsburgh's leading rusher. However, the thought of missing the AFC playoffs might have been too much to handle.
Mendenhall injured his right knee in the first quarter Sunday and had to watch the Steelers stumble their way to a 13-9 win over the Cleveland Browns, who kept it close but again couldn't come up with the big play to pull off the upset.
Isaac Redman replaced Mendenhall and scored a touchdown, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made enough big plays on his fragile left ankle and the Steelers (12-4) survived a last-play heave through the falling snow and into the end zone to beat the Browns (4-12) for the 16th time in 17 games.
Pittsburgh didn't get the help it needed to get a first-round bye and will travel to Denver to face Tim Tebow and the Broncos next Sunday.
And the Steelers will likely be without Mendenhall, who went down after a 5-yard gain in the first quarter and didn't return.
"It's not good, of course, when a guy goes down in open grass and is not touched by anyone," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "Experience tells me that in general that's not good."
Tomlin said Mendenhall would have tests after the team got back to Pittsburgh. But the Steelers already seemed resigned to not having Mendenhall for their wild-card game — or maybe at all.
"You should anticipate that he won't be participating next week," Tomlin said.
Mendenhall, who came in needing 110 yards for his third straight 1,000-yard season, was hurt on the final play of the first quarter. He went down without being touched and immediately grabbed his right knee. It was apparent by the reaction of Pittsburgh's offensive players that they knew the injury was serious.
As Mendenhall walked slowly to the sideline, he slapped hands with a few teammates before being examined on a table behind Pittsburgh's bench.
Roethlisberger didn't see Mendenhall get hurt, but said he was upset that some Browns fans cheered his teammate's misfortune.
"I'm really disappointed," said Roethlisberger, who improved to 14-1 in his career against Cleveland. "I know these Browns fans are passionate, but when you hear fans cheer when a guy goes down that's really disappointing. I don't care who it is or if you really hate that team."
Redman scored on a 7-yard run in the third quarter and rushed for 92 yards.
But he fumbled twice in the second half and the Steelers had to hold their breath on the last play when Browns quarterback Seneca Wallace floated a pass into a crowd in the back of the end zone. Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu came over the top and got his hand on the ball before Browns rookie wide receiver Greg Little could grab it, allowing the Steelers to escape.
The Browns (4-12) lost their last six games and nine of 10 under first-year coach Pat Shurmur. Cleveland was competitive — the Browns lost their final three games by a combined 13 points — but wound up with one less win than last season and went 0-6 in the division.
"It's not enough wins," Shurmur said. "I want this game to be the last game of the year where we're talking about other things, about where we're playing our playoff game, who we're playing against, those types of things. We've got to win games and I'm obviously not at peace with that.
"Now we'll get to the business of doing what we have to do to get our team as right as we can make it for next season."
Shaun Suisham made two field goals for the Steelers, who won 12 games for the second year in a row, something they haven't done since 1978-79.
Motivated by losing last season's Super Bowl to Green Bay, Pittsburgh opened the season by getting blown out by Baltimore. But the Steelers recovered and will now make another run at a Lombardi Trophy.
"We have a lot of veterans who know what January football is all about," said safety Ryan Clark. "Now's the time to go play it. We kind of limped in and it would have been huge to get a bye and get guys healthy. Now we have to go and play better on the road. I believe this team can win anywhere."
Phil Dawson kicked three field goals for all of Cleveland's points.
Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward had five catches and became the eighth player in NFL history to reach 1,000 career catches.
Ward grabbed a shovel pass in the fourth quarter, and although it lost 3 yards, it got him to the milestone.
"It's the happiest negative-yard catch I've ever had," Ward said. "I always try to put team ahead of personal goals. But 1,000 catches and over 12,000 yards is not bad considering I was a third-round pick."
Notes: Wallace went just 16 of 41 and lost all three starts filling in for McCoy. He said afterward that he wants an opportunity to win the starting job next season. ... Steelers TE Heath Miller had 2 catches, giving him 336 for his career, one more than Hall of Famer Lynn Swann. ... Dawson finished 24 of 29 in his 13th season with Cleveland. "I gave my heart and soul to this team this year," he said. ... Browns RB Peyton Hillis injured his knee while gaining 30 yards on 10 carries. It's unclear if Cleveland will try to sign him as a free agent after a drama-filled season.
