INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) - Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving could miss the next month - and maybe the rest of this season - with a sprained left shoulder, the latest injury to sideline the All-Star guard.
Irving, who has dealt with several injuries during his brief NBA career, sprained his shoulder Sunday night in a loss to Toronto. He collided with Raptors rookie forward Jonas Valanciunas while trying to drive the baseline. Irving stayed in the game, but was taken out after he was unable to raise his left arm while shooting free throws.
The Cavaliers said an MRI revealed a left AC (acromioclavicular) sprain. He is projected to miss 3 to 4 weeks, but the Cavs have just 19 games left this season, so it's possible Irving will not play again.
Cavs coach Byron Scott would not speculate if Irving's season is over.
"We'll have to wait until it's completely healed and then just go from there,'' Scott said after Monday's practice.
Irving has already missed 14 games this season with a broken index finger and hyperextended knee. He broke his right hand last summer when he punched a padded wall during a practice in Las Vegas. He missed 14 games last season - four with a concussion and 10 with a sprained right shoulder - when he was chosen the league's top rookie.
Irving played with a broken jaw earlier this season, wearing a protective mask.
Despite the injuries, Scott doesn't believe his young star is fragile.
"He's still very young and his body hasn't fully developed,'' Scott said. "I'm just not that concerned about it, to be honest with you,'' Scott said. "All the injuries that he has gotten have been legitimate injuries. It's not something that keeps recurring over and over again.''
Irving played just 11 games as a freshman at Duke because of a toe injury.

Some Men Need Killing
This "whodunit" had no mystery about it. The Mayor did it. Everybody saw him do it. In the end, it appeared, or at least to the majority of those present, that it needed to be done.
October 22, 1904: It was a cool fall Saturday morning. Lovett town marshal B.T. Kight and Mayor Nathaniel A. Thompson (no relation) had a job to do. In the company of their posse, Thompson and Kight approached one L.G. Barron on a warrant issued for a opprobrious offense alleged to have occurred on Friday. Kite said, "I hate to do this, but I have to place you under arrest." Barron responded, "Alright, we are friends." Barron then asked the marshal if he could post a bond on the charges in the City Court of Dublin. When the mayor refused and required that the defendant face trial Barron screamed, "Keep your d-n-d mouth shut! I'll lose the last drop of my blood before I will be tried there!"
Barron, standing between the wheels of his buggy, pulled a knife, and began to rub it upon one of the wheels. Thompson reached for a pistol and fired a single, but fatal, shot. L.T. Jackson saw the whole thing. He had know that Barron had been threatening the mayor for more than two years, but he didn't consider him to be violent or even dangerous. "I never heard him make any threats against Thompson, but he does talk considerably when he is drinking," Jackson said.
Tom Bray, of Wrightsville, saw it too. "I heard Thompson and Kight talking to Barron, who wasn't doing anything out of the way," Bray recalled. Bray remembered that Thompson told Barron that he must be arrested, whereupon Barron dared the mayor to arrest him. Thompson said, " Throw up your hands!" Barron retorted, "I'll die first!" "I said, throw up your hands," the mayor repeated! Bray didn't hear any cursing by Barron, until he was shot when he told the mayor to go ahead and shoot him in the other side.
Sam Barron, a son of the victim later testified, "My father told Thompson he didn't have anything to do with it and that he'd be d d if there were enough men in Lovett to lock him up."
After the excitement quieted down, Mayor Thompson was himself arrested and ordered to appear before a Magistrate Court to determine if there was probable cause to bind him over to the Superior Court on the charge of murder. Thompson, a well liked former employee of the Central and Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad, hired T.L. Griner and John S. Adams, two of Dublin's most able criminal defense lawyers, in his defense. The State of Georgia brought it its own all-star prosecuting team of John B. Cooper of Macon, John L. Kent of Wrightsville, and W.E. Armistead of Sandersville to prosecute the mayor.
In a commitment hearing in the Laurens County Courthouse on the morning of October 27, twenty-two witnesses were subpoenaed by the state, while prosecutors were ready to call thirty-two for the state's case. Magistrates Thomas D. Smith and John B. Wolfe listened to the testimony of only a few of the state's witnesses from ten o'clock until noon.
After a recess. Benjamin F. Parker, a Lovett merchant, repeated the previous testimony that Barron wanted to give bond, but recalled differently than others present in that Mayor Thompson said that he would have to give bond to the town council. Parker emphatically stated that the Barron's knife, presented by Sam Barron as of the small Barlow type, was not the weapon that the deceased had in his hand at the time of the shooting. Parker recalled that knife was 8 to 9 inches long. He also stated that Barron had at least "two difficulties in Lovett before being arrested and fined." "He cursed out the mayor, council, and town generally," Parker testified. "He was accustomed to bulldozing the town and he was a dangerous man," the Lovett merchant concluded.
G.F. Boatright, Thompson's father-in-law, repeated the generally accepted facts and stated that Barron had a reputation for violence.
E.T. Smith, the former marshal of Lovett, had his share of troubles with Barron. Smith testified at that some time ago he attempted to arrest Barron for being drunk and disorderly in public. "He cursed out the court and Mayor Thompson, and drew back a stool and threatened to kill the mayor if he continued to bother him," Marshal Smith remembered.
One Lovett resident after another took the stand in defense of their mayor. S.F. Glover, H.G. Marchman, C.N. Lovett, J.L. Manning, and J.D. Rawls called the dead man a "bad man." Former mayor E.M. Strange told the court that he had expected to kill Barron because of his bad behavior. E.A. Lovett, son of the town's namesake, testified that he knew that Barron had already purchased a gun to kill another man in town.
Marshall Kight told the magistrates that Barron was drinking and was prepared for trouble. Kight restated prior accounts that the mayor called upon Barron repeatedly to submit to arrest.
At the end of his case, Mayor Thompson made an unsworn statement that outlined his long history of problems with Barron. Thompson recalled that he had attempted to arrest Barron before, but the two had become friends. State witnesses returned to the stand in order to rebut the damaging testimony of many well-respected Lovettites. After grand speeches by Armistead and Adams, the court recessed for supper until 7 o'clock.
T.L. Griner rose to speak in favor of the defendant. Griner attacked the "abandoned heart" and "wreckless character" of the deceased. The defense attorney pointed out to the court that there are always a crowd of bullies who want to overthrow order. In view of all the threats made against his client by the deceased, Griner argued that Barron met his death in a justifiable act of self defense.
Cooper asked the court to disregard Barron's character and look to whether or not his actions deserved being shot. He postulated that if Thompson had let Marshal Kight take the prisoner to jail, that the whole incident could have been avoided.
Just before the midnight hour, after a short deliberation, Magistrates Smith and Wolfe returned to the crowded dimly lit courtroom and announced their ruling attributing the death of L.G. Barron as a justifiable case of self-defense or more aptly, a case of some men just need killing.
Post Script: Nathaniel Thompson returned to his native home of Washington County, where he died on May 1, 1952 at the age of eighty-five.

("Hey Norman, ever play skin the cat?")
As Dana White announced earlier today at the UFC 158 press conference, a lightweight bout between TUF: The Smashes lightweight runner up and presumable collector of Haunter Pokemon memorabilia, Colin Fletcher, has been booked to take on TUF 16 runner up and sensitive artist, Mike Ricci, on the welterweight-heavy UFC 158 card in March.
On the heels of a UD loss to Northern Ireland's "Stormin" Norman Parke at UFC on FX 6, Fletcher will no doubt be looking to utilize his reach advantage against Ricci, who will be making the drop from welterweight following a unanimous decision loss of his own to Colton Smith at the TUF 16 Finale. Ricci has gone win-loss in his past six contests, including notable losses to Daron Cruickshank and Pat Curran, and holds notable wins over Strikeforce veteran Jordan Mein and Canadian Rory MacDonald…
…I'm sorry, that's Canadian Rory McDonell, who was able to score his last victory by, and I quote, "Gogoplata Straight Armbar." Seriously, if you doubt me, just check out this photo of the finish. How that sub was somehow overlooked by nearly every MMA site out there is beyond me, but feel free to discuss this massive oversight in the comments section. Because, let's be real, it's probably more interesting than the subject at hand.

As rising fuel prices continue to make air and car travel more expensive, countries around the world are pushing ahead with high-speed rail plans.
The global rail industry is expected to reach a value of $870 billion in 2012, according to market research firm Datamonitor.
In the U.K., nearly 5 percent more passengers used trains in the first three months of 2011, compared to the same period a year before. The country's rail network experienced a level of traffic unseen since the 1920s, according to the Association of Train Operating Companies.
Train travel is not only cheaper, it's also becoming increasingly faster. Emerging nations such as China and Russia are investing in high-speed bullet trains. Additionally, European nations are launching multibillion-dollar plans to expand and upgrade an already extensive high-speed network.
CNBC.com has compiled a list of the countries with world's fastest trains based on the maximum speed measured in miles per hour (mph). We've included record speeds hit during trial runs on electric and magnetic levitation (Maglev) trains, as well as those of experimental models. The numbers are based on a series of publicly available reports, as well as information from organizations such as the Railway Gazette International and the Center for Asia Pacific Aviation.

Bronx, NY
The Bronx County Courthouse, a steel-framed building with a granite and limestone facade, was described by the Herald Tribune as a prime example of the "Twentieth Century American style", a combination Modern which was popular in Europe in the 1920s and 30s, and neo-classical. With a high-rusticated granite base and upper windows set in vertical ribbons with copper and nickel Art Deco style spandrels separated by limestone piers, it is the dominant feature of the Bronx Grand Concourse. A large flight of stairs leads to a columned entrance portico, in typical courthouse style. Built in 1933 during the Depression at a cost of $8 million, this public project provided much-needed work for architects, sculptors and construction workers.
The architects of the Bronx County courthouse were the European-trained Joseph Freedlander and Max Hausel, who collaborated on this one venture. Joseph Freedlander (1870-1943), born in New York and trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the EcolÈ des Beaux Arts in Paris, was President of the Fine Arts Federation. Max Hausel, born in Switzerland in 1879, where he trained as an architect, emigrated to the United States in 1897. He worked with Michael Garvin, the Bronx architect who designed the Bronx Borough Courthouse in 1905. His austere classical style has had a major influence on Bronx civic architecture. Charles Keck, sculptor of figures for Columbia University and the facade of the Brooklyn Museum, designed the frieze above the base. It depicts the activities of man, with themes relating to agriculture, commerce, industry, religion and the arts. Adolph Weinman oversaw the creation of two pink marble sculptural groups installed at the courthouse entrances. Other sculptors whose work adorns the building include George Snowden, Joseph Kiselewski, and Edward Sandford, Jr.
The interior of the building includes arched marble entrances to the lobbies and vaulted elevator lobbies with bronze doors topped by pediments. All of the courtrooms have wood paneling with classical ornament, in a number of different styles and variety of wood types. In 1934, Mayor LaGuardia received a bronze key during the building's three-day dedication and celebration. The Bronx County Courthouse was designated a New York City Landmark in 1996 and is also listed on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places.

NAMM 2010: Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Bass
With a stunning look that borrows design touches from several periods of Jazz Bass history, this new model is a bass player's dream!
The Fender® Jazz Bass® guitar was first delivered to the world in 1960. If the Precision® was a muscle car, the new Jazz bass was a sports car. Although remarkably unchanged since its introduction half a century ago, the Jazz Bass did see a very gradual succession of subtle design refinements over the course of the past five decades.
Accordingly, this 50th anniversary Jazz Bass is a truly distinctive instrument in that it boasts design touches from several periods in Jazz Bass history.

Martins says he's leaving Levante for Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) — Nigerian forward Obafemi Martins says on Twitter he is leaving Spanish club Levante to join the Seattle Sounders.
Martins made his posts on Monday, which was followed by an announcement from Levante that he was leaving. Martins wrote that he wanted to give thanks to Levante for the chance to play in La Liga, but that signing with Seattle is, "a big step to take in my career."
At training on Monday, Seattle general manager Adrian Hanauer told reporters there was nothing official to announce but did not deny "indicators" that pointed to Martins playing for Seattle in the near future.
The Sounders have been seeking a replacement at forward to play alongside Eddie Johnson since Fredy Montero was loaned to Colombian club. The 28-year-old Martins had nine goals in 22 matches in all competitions for Levante this season.
His best seasons were with Inter Milan (2001-06) and Newcastle (2006-09).

Science and Medical Journalism Program
What is the science and medical journalism program?
The Science and Medical Journalism Program at UNC is one of the nation's first master's programs of its kind. Science and medical journalists provide a bridge between scientists and consumers by making complex science understandable to a broad audience of readers, viewers and listeners.
How can the program help me become a better writer and reporter?
Our two-year program provides both depth of knowledge and breadth of understanding in journalism, science and medicine. The program teaches skills needed to work as a practicing science and medical journalist across all media platforms. Our multi-disciplinary approach will hone your professional skills in print, audio and video, while allowing you the opportunity to specialize in the areas in which you are most passionate.
For more detailed information on the program and its requirements, go here.
Why should I choose Carolina over other science journalism programs?

You'll also take health or science courses outside of the journalism school. Students can take classes at nearby Duke University or North Carolina State University. Twenty minutes away is Research Triangle Park, home to many leading science and biotech companies, including the headquarters of Sigma Xi, the national scientific research society.
While you'll take classes and collaborate with master's students from the journalism school and the school of public health, the small size of the science and medical journalism program means you'll have the opportunity for one-on-one, personalized instruction from Dr. Tom Linden, director of the program. Dr. Linden has served as CNBC's first health and science correspondent, anchor for Lifetime Medical Television, staff writer for the Los Angeles Times and author of a health reporting textbook with the writers of the New York Times.
Who should apply?
Students from varied academic and professional backgrounds have joined the program in its 15-year history. Some have been working journalists looking to sharpen their reporting skills or to specialize in science and medical writing. Others have been health professionals wanting to move into journalism. Some have worked for years before returning to graduate school, while others have come soon after completing undergrad or other master's programs. Our students have majored in journalism, history, English, chemistry, applied physics, neurobiology, archaeology and many more.
Above all else, we're looking for students who love to write, are eager to learn about science and medicine, and want to learn how to communicate complex ideas to the public.
How can I afford the program?
Tuition and fees for a full-time Master's student in the 2017-18 academic year are $7,632 per semester for North Carolina residents and $15,658 per semester for out-of-state students. For information on funding and loan resources, visit UNC's Student Aid page.
One of the journalism school's most exciting funding opportunities for graduate students is the Roy H. Park Fellowship. Awarded each year to about 10 new Master's students with exceptional qualifications, the Park Fellowship provides full funding for tuition and health insurance as well as an annual stipend of $14,000. For more information on the Park Fellowship and other fellowship opportunities available through the journalism school, visit our Cost & Funding page.
When should I apply?
The final deadline for applications is Dec. 12, 2017. All applications will be automatically considered for the Park Fellowship. If you have questions about the application process or the program in general, contact Dr. Tom Linden at email@example.com.
Where can the program take me?
Alumni of our master's program have gone on to exciting careers in many areas of science journalism and communication. Graduates of our program include the managing editor for health and medical coverage for ABC News, agricultural reporter for Voice of America, and founder of IMPACT Health Communications. Our students' work has appeared in publications like Scientific American, New Scientist and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
While you'll find Chapel Hill has plenty to offer during your two years here, there are also exciting opportunities for current students to travel throughout the United States and beyond. Funding is available to help students travel to conferences, where you can learn best practices from experienced journalists while expanding your own professional network. We've also worked on documentary projects that have taken us from profiling the state parks of North Carolina to reporting on solar power in Spain.

Saturday's Game
UW-Whitewater, 13-0, welcomes the University of Saint Thomas, 13-0, to Perkins Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin for a NCAA III playoff semifinal game that will kick off at 2:30.
The Series
These two teams met in the first round of the 1990 NCAA III playoffs, with Saint Thomas winning 24-23 at (then) Warhawk Stadium. The schools are much more familiar with each other on the diamond. UST and UW-W met three times last spring, Whitewater winning 7-6 in Florida and Saint Thomas winning 6-4 the next day. The teams also met in the NCAA III regional hosted by UW-W, with the Warhawks winning 3-2 on the first day on the way to advancing to the NCAA III World Series. The schools will meet again in the second game of the season for UW-W, March 8, 2012 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.
Past NCAA Appearances
UW-Whitewater returns to the postseason for the tenth time in program history, and seventh consecutive year, with an overall record of 31-6. UW-W is the two-time defending Division III champion. Three of Whitewater's playoff losses came in the championship game with the Warhawks finishing as the runners-up in 2005 and 2006 under head coach Bob Berezowitz and in 2008 under Lance Leipold. The Warhawks won the title under Leipold in 2007, 2009 and 2010.
St. Thomas is making its fourth NCAA appearance, with an 8-3 record in that span. The Tommies lost after beating UW-W in 1990, then went 2-1 in 2009 (beating Monmouth and Coe, loss to Linfield) and 2010 (beat Benedictine, Linfield, lost to Bethel).
In the Polls
UW-W is ranked number one in both the AFCA III poll and by D3football.com. Saint Thomas is fourth in the AFCA poll and third in the D3football.com rankings.
Purple Streak
The Warhawks have the longest active winning streak in college football, 43 games. That is the fifth longest streak in NCAA football history, with number four on the list the University of Oklahoma's 47 game string under Bud Wilkinson (1953-57). The Warhawks have also built streaks of 18 in a row on the road, 25 in a row at Perkins Stadium, 21 consecutive non-conference games, 24 WIAC games, and 13 in a row in the NCAA III playoffs.
The Coaches
Whitewater's Lance Leipold has compiled a record of 69-3, including 34-1 in the WIAC, in his fifth year as head coach. Leipold has earned National Division III Coach of the Year honors three out of the four years and was named WIAC Coach of the Year the last three. Since his first season in 2008, St.Thomas head coach Glenn Caruso has led the Tommies to the third biggest turn-around in NCAA Division III football. Within two years the Tommies' ranking was brought from 206 to 4. Coach Caruso has an overall record of 43-6 at St. Thomas and has led the team to the NCAA III playoffs the last three years. In 2010, Caruso was voted AFCA Regional Coach of the Year and the MIAC Conference Coach of the Year.
St. Thomas Notes (13-0 overall, 8-0 MIAC)
Saint Thomas opened the NCAA playoffs with a 48-2 win over Saint Scholastica, followed by beating Monmouth College (IL) 38-10, and won their quarterfinal matchup with Saint John Fisher 45-10. All three games were hosted by UST.
If you're into the score comparison game, Saint Thomas defeated UW-River Falls 45-22 September 9 at River Falls, and Whitewater topped the Falcons 42-10 October 18 in River Falls.
The Tommies have the number one rushing defense in Division III, allowing 47.5 yards per game and just 1.6 per carry. Senior linebacker Tony Danna has 17 tackles for a loss this season for 53 yards,, accounting for more yardage himself than UST gives up as a team. Sophomore linebacker Tremayne Williams and junior cornerback Chinni Oji have ten tackles for a loss each. Tyler Maxwell of Augsburg rushed for 118 October 8, and Logan Becker of Gustavus Adolphus gained 102 yards October 29 -- the only times UST has given up 100 yards to an individual. No team has rushed for 200 yards, with the most 167 by Bethel College October 22.
But Saint Thomas doesn't just load up to stop the run, because they also rank third in D3 in total defense (206.1) and scoring defense (9.38).
The Tommie offense is similar to what Warhawk fans have seen all year, a run-pass balance that can go to four wide receivers or double tight ends. Senior QB Dakota Tracy averages 170.2 yards passing a game, completing 56.6% of his throws for 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Tracy isn't a stationary target, second on the team in rushing with 437 yards and a 4.6 per attempt average. Tracy's first option is senior wide receiver Fritz Waldvogel, a Gagliardi Trophy finalist. Waldvogel has 72 receptions for 13 touchdowns, and a 16.6 per catch average. He has a streak of 47 consecutive games with a reception. Senior tailback Colin Tobin has rushed for 1,584 yards, 121.8 per game and 5.7 per carry.
UW-Whitewater Notes (13-0 overall, 7-0 WIAC)
If you believe the stats then this should be a low scoring affair, with the Warhawk defense fifth in Division III, allowing 11.7 points per game. UW-W is +18 in turnovers. Senior linebacker Greg Arnold has been making up for the three-plus games he missed with an injury, leading the team with 61 tackles. His wing men, sophomores Kyle Wismer and Ryan Cortez have developed into the number two and three tacklers on the team. The linebacking crew is an example of a basic tenet of Warhawk football, that someone could go down at any moment and nothing replaces game experience. Sophomore linebackers Cole Klotz and junior Jaren Borland are both among UW-W's top ten in tackles.
Whitewater's offensive line, considered a question mark at the beginning of the year and hurt by the loss of Grant Poenitsch early in the season, has erased any doubts. Whitewater quarterbacks have been sacked just seven times this season, and both Matt Blanchard's completion percentage (69%) and Levell Coppage's rushing yardage (1,919) are exhibits A and B.
Coppage keeps finding new mountains to climb. His career total of 7,602 yards rushing is the third highest total in the history of NCAA football, not just Division III football, but any level. Only Mount Union's Nate Kmic (8,074, 2005-208) and Danny Woodhead of Chadron State (7,962, 2004-2007) are ahead of him.
Warhawk senior defensive back Jared Kiesow and senior punter were named Capitol One/College Sports Information Directors Division III Academic All-Americans this week. Kiesow is an elementary education major with a 3.89 GPA, and Rosholt is a physical education major with an emphasis in health education and special education and a 3.77 GPA.
Warhawk QB Matt Blanchard joins UST's Waldvogel in the final four for the Gagliardi Trophy. Blanchard has passed for 198.2 yards per game, completing 68.6%, with 22 TD's and three interceptions. Both will be at the Stagg Bowl next week, one of them with his team, the other compliments of Josten's and the Saint John's J Club.

If your child has passed a vision screening, that's not enough. You still need a comprehensive vision checkup. Here's why.
"Your child's brain is like a computer," says Dr. Hellerstein, author of See It. Say It. Do It! The Parents & Teacher's Action Guide to Creating Successful Students & Confident Kids and developmental optometrist O.D. FCOVD, FAAO. "The better the quality of the information that his eyes take in, the better his brain will be able to process that information."
Vision is the brain activity; sight is the eye's work. Two different things. just like your dental checks, your child needs a comprehensive vision check early -- two years old and up. Even if a child's vision is fine, sight might be a problem. Find out early so you can prevent learning problems down the road.
Dr. Lynn F. Hellerstein explained vision to me this way: the keyboard is the input, the hard drive is the processing, and the printer is the output. Vision checks can evaluate all of these brain processes. Academic success, says Hellerstein, requires 17 different visual skills and seeing 20/20 is just one of them. If there's an issue -- like dyslexia, double vision, focusing problems, visual processing problems, messy handwriting, poor sequencing skills, or poor visual memory -- a qualified developmental optometrist like Dr. Hellerstein will be able to find out with a comprehensive exam.
What can you expect in a comprehensive exam? Dr. Jina Schaff, O.D. shares what to expect:
- Case history: including school performance, reading, spelling, and math, and medical.
- Pursuits/Saccades: How a child smoothly follows a target (pursuits), and how they can jump from one target to the next (saccades). This represents tracking from left to right and the return sweep from right to left.
- Near point of Convergence: Can a child follow a target in to their nose and keep the target single. (When we look at our book or any near target we converge.)
- Stereopsis (depth perception): This tells me if the child is using both eyes at the same time (this assesses strabismus and amblyopia).
- Color Vision: I check this on all children, but color vision primarily affects boys.
- Refractive Exam: Prescription: I can use a retinoscope and lenses to determine a child's prescription without the child saying a word. I use that measurement and compare it to what the child subjectively picks (if they are old enough to understand the test). [This exam includes phorias, ranges, focusing skills and results in a treatment plan.]
Schaff wants parents to understand how vision affects reading saying, "When we read, we have three motor movements before we can process what we are reading. We have to 1) converge-aim our eyes at the target, 2) focus-make the print on the page clear, and then 3) track along the page. If any of those motor movements are deficient, you will work twice as hard to read. If your brain is focused on the motor movements there is little left for comprehension. This will impact the child's performance in school."
August is National Children's Vision & Learning Month. Make sure your child is visually ready to go back to school. Get more than a vision screening, get a vision check that tests all of the essential visual skills mentioned above. To find a developmental optometrist in your area visit COVD.org.
I just learned this and my kids are seven and ten. Did you know this information? Have you ever taken your child for a comprehensive sight exam?

7 comments:
Best chimichurri sauce I've ever tasted. It's not oily at all. Wonderful texture and taste. Thanks!ReplyDelete
This looks awesome! Perfect for summer grilling season.ReplyDelete
I love a good chimichurri on steak! This looks like a wonderful meal =)ReplyDelete
Yumm! Gorgeous presentation. I can't wait to try this!ReplyDelete
I am going to try it this week, cant wait! Any idea on how to bake instead of grill it?? (temp, time, etc?)ReplyDeleteReplies
I would suggest preheating the broiler element to your oven and cook the steak 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness.Delete
Just found this recipe and it looks great! Wanted to make a chimichurri for awhile nowReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love hearing from family, friends, and bloggers, so please leave a comment. Happy cooking!

As Artists who work from home it just makes sense for us to cook and bake as much as we can. It keeps us close to our studio, (within 10 feet to be exact) and getting creative in the kitchen couldn't be more of a timeout from our daily work. We try to make foods that we feel good about eating. After many many years working together we've got a pretty good read on each other's moods and know first hand how they're affected by what we eat. And mood is everything when it comes to our creative output.
We're not expert chefs or nutritionists. We just like good foods that taste amazing, and we couldn't possibly keep these recipes to ourselves!
So here are some of our favorites…some of our reader favorites…and some of our most pinned recipes!
We hope that you'll try them, and if you do we'd love to hear what you think!

Nintendo 3DS Hand Held Console Cosmos Black
Hardware Features
3D Screen
Like previous handhelds released by Nintendo, the Nintendo 3DS incorporates both an upper and lower LCD display in a clamshell layout. The lower screen features familiar Nintendo touchscreen technology, is 3.02" (2.42" wide x 1.81" high) with 320 x 240 pixel resolution and is capable of displaying 16.77 million colors, but the groundbreaking upper 3D screen of the Nintendo 3DS system is where Nintendo opens up a whole new world of eye-popping gameplay possibilities. This 3.53" display (3.02" wide x 1.81" high) is capable of displaying approximately the same 16.77 million colors, but with 800 x 240 pixel resolution. 400 pixels are allocated to each eye to enable 3D viewing. This stereoscopic 3D display gives objects within the gameworld a feeling of space and depth that extends far into the back of the screen. This amazing depth of field effect vastly increases the ability to see the position of characters and obstacles in compatible game, making many game experiences even more intuitive for all types of players.
3D Depth Slider
A built-in 3D Depth Slider along the right side of the top display allows you to immediately adjust the intensity of the 3D settings on the Nintendo 3DS system to your liking. The 3D effect can also be turned down completely if the player so chooses. All Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be played in 2D, and look better when played on the Nintendo 3DS than any Nintendo handheld before it.
Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor
Portable play control reaches a new level with the Nintendo 3DS' Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor combination. Together these precision built-in features allow for new and unique gameplay mechanics as the 3DS reacts to real-time motion and tilt. Whether players are twisting their systems side to side, or moving it up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly.
Circle Pad Analogue Control
With the Circle Pad, located above the + Control Pad, Nintendo 3DS offers full analogue control in 3D game worlds. Combined with the touch screen, traditional buttons, camera and microphone input, and advanced motion control of the Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor, the potential is extraordinary.
3D Camera Functionality
Along with a digital camera facing inwards towards the player, the Nintendo 3DS system features two outer cameras positioned along its upper edge when device is open. These two cameras see the world in 3D, much like the human eye, allowing for the creation of 3D photos - and a similar 3D effect to that seen in Nintendo 3DS games. All cameras feature 640 x 480 resolutions with single focus lenses that use the CMOS capture element and an active pixel count is approximately 300,000 pixels.
Adjustable Stylus
The adjustable Nintendo 3DS Stylus takes the idea of touch control to a new and even more user-friendly level. Once removed from the holder, the stylus length can be adjusted to your liking with a simple push or pull. Now anyone can achieve the optimum level of comfort while playing games that use the stylus.
Cradle Charging
Dock your Nintendo 3DS system whenever you are not using it in the included Charging Cradle to keep it powered. You can then leave the system on in Sleep Mode while charging, so that it can communicate via the SpotPass feature at any time of day or night.
Other Key Features
Social and wired like no Nintendo system before it, Nintendo 3DS brings fellow players together in exciting new ways with StreetPass communication. Set your Nintendo 3DS to Sleep Mode and carry it with you wherever you go to exchange game data like Mii characters, high scores, and custom characters with other users you pass on the street. You control what data you exchange and you can exchange data for multiple games at once, making virtual connections with real world people you encounter in your daily life.
Nintendo 3DS includes SpotPass, a feature that lets Nintendo 3DS detect wireless hotspots or wireless LAN access points and obtain information, game data, free software, videos and so on for players even when the system is in sleep mode.*
2 GB SD Memory Card Included
Every Nintendo 3DS system comes packed with a 2 GB SD memory card. You can use this SD memory card to store your 3D photos, and sound recordings created on the Nintendo 3DS system, and music** from your PC. You can also use it to store games downloaded from the Nintendo eShop. The Nintendo 3DS system has SDHC card compatibility to increase your storage space even further.
Backwards Compatibility
Almost all existing Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games can be played on a Nintendo 3DS system in 2D. With backwards compatibility, your existing portable games look and play just as well.***
Wireless Communications
Nintendo 3DS utilises a frequency of 2.4 GHz, enabling local wireless communication among multiple Nintendo 3DS systems for game play and StreetPass, as well as access to the Internet through wireless LAN access points (supports IEEE802.11 b/g with the WPA/WPA2 security feature).

The election of Trump, and the vote for Brexit shortly before that, clearly indicate that for a large number of citizens in the UK and the USA, the 'system' had failed them to such an extent that they were willing to take a leap into the unknown and opt for profound change. I would argue that the reason why the system failed so many is to do with the anaemic growth since the crash of 2008 and in the UK drive for austerity. This combined with profound and fundamental changes in productivity due to technology, which along with globalisation and cheap immigrant labour combined in a way that prevented a very large part of the population from feeling any economic benefit since 2008 and gave them a deep sense of being ignored and left behind by the elite.
Looking forward into 2017, we can safely say that the result of both these events will likely increase political risk in developed countries. Specifically, the risk premia in Europe as we see how the Putin/Trump relationship develops and how it might affect Russia's revanchist policy, as well as elections that will be fought in several European countries against a backdrop of the Brexit/Trump political upset. It may also create an increase of risk in the oil producing Middle East.
From an economic perspective, it seems that Mr Trump, with the support of both houses, is set to increase spend on infrastructure in the US as well as try to boost consumer spend by reducing the Federal tax rate. This stimulative policy implies an increase in US government debt. However, this positive economic policy might be countered somewhat by an avowed protectionist stance, sparking stagflation. The key question, though, is whether even with this capex and fiscal boost, the lot of ordinary blue collar workers and lower middle class families in the USA, can be much improved, if one accepts our premise of a permanent downshift in the natural rate of interest and a technology led change in productivity.
I think the right thing to do for long term investors is to ignore the noise and concentrate on the long term. A permanent downshift in the natural rate of interest would direct one to invest more in equities than in bonds and more in emerging equities than developed equities (although US small cap would be a beneficiary of Trumponomics).
However, the real worry is neither anaemic growth rates, nor possible inflation, nor even market volatility driven by hard to predict political risk. The real worry is that if Trump reneges on COP21, we as a species would be unable to prevent 2 degree warming, which is a long term negative for the generations to come.

Lindsay Lohan and Ann Romney may have one thing in common: They have reportedly both rejected offers to be on "Dancing With the Stars."
Rumor has it that the beleaguered "Mean Girls" actress has rejected an offer to join the juggernaut ballroom-dancing competition because she reportedly wants to stick to films and doesn't want to do reality TV. So LiLo actually thinks she's above something else besides the law, then?
Romney, wife of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, reportedly turned down the show last week. But back to LiLo...
PHOTOS: Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor in 'Liz & Dick'
"The actress was made several offers to join the 'DWTS' cast this upcoming season — offers that maxed out at $550,000," according to a TMZ source.
Seems strange that she'd say no to that kind of cash, since Lohan owns quite a bit in back taxes (enough that even Charlie Sheen has given her a handout). "Dancing With the Stars" also has a decent track record for rehabilitating some of the most loathed pseudo-celebs, including Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin.

The Sprint Cup series takes a break this coming weekend for the observance of Easter Sunday but will race at Martinsville Speedway on April 7th. Judging from the intense emotion that erupted at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., it might be an extremely good time for a break in the schedule.
The Sprint Cup series takes a break this coming weekend for the observance of Easter Sunday but will race at Martinsville Speedway on April 7th. Judging from the intense emotion that erupted at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., it might be an extremely good time for a break in the schedule.
Kyle Busch gave Joe Gibbs Racing Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series wins there. The Huntersville-based JGR organization saw their other driver, Denny Hamlin, suffer a crushed L1 vertebra after a wild last-lap crash with Penske Racing's Joey Logano while battling for the win.
While surprise victor Busch bowed to a cheering front stretch crowd, Logano and Hamlin sat idle in crashed cars, assessing the situation. Hamlin immediately radioed his crew that he was hurt.
An unexpected side story was developing that no one saw coming. Tony Stewart had Logano blocked on pit road wanting a piece of him. He felt Logano continually ran him low on the track and by the third time, enough was enough.
He darted out of the car and began swinging. Crew members from both teams were everywhere. Some of Danica Patrick's crew (a team owned by Stewart) entered the fray to get Stewart off of Logano.
Some 30 minutes later, Stewart calmed slightly and addressed the media. It didn't take long to get his temper boiling again.
"…For a guy that has been complaining about how everybody else is driving here and then (for) him to do that it's a double standard," Stewart said. "He makes the choice. He makes the decision to run us down there and when you run a driver down there then you take responsibility for what happens after that. He is a tough guy on pit road as soon as one of his crew guys gets in the middle of it. Until then he's a scared little kid. Then he wants to sit there and throw a water bottle at me. He is going to learn a lesson…"
Yes, words were exchanged last week at Bristol Motor Speedway between them, but Logano would never intentionally attempt to injure another driver or crewman. The two were driving hard for the win when his Ford broke loose, sending Hamlin bouncing off the outside wall hard into an inside barrier not equipped with SAFER wall protection.
Before Logano knew of Hamlin's injury, he said, "We worked it last week. He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets."
Logano explained his side of the Stewart crash as well. Further, team owner Roger Penske said yesterday he fully backs his driver.
"I had to throw the block there. That was a race for the lead," Logano. "I felt if the 14 (Stewart) got underneath me, that was going to be the end of my opportunity to win the race, so I was just trying to protect the spot I had. I was actually pedaling, because I couldn't keep the 18 aligned. I was actually faster than the 18 getting our tires hooked up. And then I'm trying to stagger myself making sure I don't beat him to the line and then I had to block the 14 because I was pedaling it. I'll talk to him and we'll see what happens. I think he finished decent. We'll just talk about it some more."
There's no way Stewart and Logano can avoid contact during 500 laps at Martinsville. Some fireworks could erupt between them, whether it's in the narrow back stretch garage area or somewhere on the track's half-mile surface.
Stewart made it clear there will be no conversations between them. Lessons will come on the track.
Hamlin, a driver with a history of back issues, slowly exited his car Sunday but collapsed to the ground. Track emergency workers took him to the infield care center and later helped prepare him to be airlifted to a local hospital. Dr. Jerry Petty of the Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Association will treat him when he returns to Charlotte in the next hours or days.
Hamlin's road to recovery could be frustrating and painful. In the coming weeks, JGR's Nationwide Series drivers Elliott Sadler or Brian Vickers are available to drive for Hamlin should they be needed. Both are past Sprint Cup winners with plenty of experience between them.

Multiplayer, too, is a neat addition. Clan battles are fast and hectic, rewarding those who think quickly and take advantage of the chaos of others. It uses a level system that unlocks new costume parts, but also enhances one's abilities (including such basic things as what sword techniques one has available), which means that those who have been playing longer have a tremendous advantage. Luckily, levels gained in the Ninja Trials, which can be played either solo or through online co-op, carry over, meaning that one can increase one's repertoire before jumping into online matches. There's definitely some lag and hitching when playing online, but it's only occasionally a frustration. Pulling off a stealth kill or a "Bone and Steel" finisher in multiplayer is immensely satisfying, and well worth the occasional network hiccups.
The story is a tremendous step up from previous entries, with a more vocal and sympathetic take on protagonist Ryu and a villain who tends to wax philosophical. He oozes melodrama and that, combined with his thick British accent, makes him fun to watch during cutscenes. There's a child involved, and it's incredibly awkward almost any time anyone speaks to her, but the game's attempts at pathos are appreciated, even if they often fall flat. There are some neat nods back to previous games in the series as well, both with regard to plot and gameplay. Some of these references actually stretch all the way back to the original NES games, which fans of the series are sure to appreciate.
It's odd, though, that there's so much there for the fans in a title that generally seems ashamed of its roots. There are so many generic action games out there, did we really need Ninja Gaiden to become another? I desperately wanted to love Ninja Gaiden 3 and, as I played the game, I found things in it that definitely demanded praise and consideration. I never really crossed that threshold, though, and there were several moments that induced frustration—whether due to the wonky controls, throw-happy enemies, or artificial limits on Ryu's ability usage—that were clearly just poor design choices.
Ninja Gaiden 3, I'm sorry, but I'd like to just stay friends.

The Dallas Police Department just had to issue an unusual apology via a tweet on Twitter.
It seems that one of the officers' "kids" (ahem) was playing with the cops' iPhone and accidentally tweeted his "Fruit Ninja" score to the entire Dallas PD twitter following of nearly 13,000 people.
Needless to say, it was a popular tweet,
The Dallas PD's apology speaks for itself:

The final 53 this year is going to be rough. Not so much the WHO as the NUMBERS we keep of each position, which is going to influence who stays.
-- Do we keep 4 or 5 RB? This will determine if Ware makes it.
-- Do we keep 6 WR? This will probably decide if Harper makes the team.
-- 9 or 10 DL? Mayowa is a fringe guy...he doesn't have a spot if they only keep 9.
-- LB... if we keep 6 it's "most likely": Wagner, Wright, Smith, Farwell, Schofield, Bradford or Lotulelei. And that's only until Irvin returns from suspension after Week 4, which means another move will have to be made here.
A lot of intriguing moves coming.

We may still be waiting for the Kindle Fire and Kindle Touch to arrive in the UK, but Amazon has thrown us a bone in the form of the new £89 Kindle.
Amazon has stripped back the features in the name of keeping costs down – the keyboard has gone, as has the 3G connectivity – but it has resulted in a Kindle that truly is pocket-sized.
Next to the new Kindle, last year's model - renamed the Kindle Keyboard - is left looking rather clunky. The graphite plastic has been replaced with a slick-looking matt silver finish. Despite the 2011 model's pared-back features list, Amazon has tweaked the 6in screen – the same size as the Kindle Keyboard – and page turns are appreciably quicker.
In the hand, the Kindle's 170 grams are barely noticeable. Losing the keyboard means that you hold it slightly differently – your reviewer always held the Kindle Keyboard at the bottom to avoid jogging the shoulder buttons. Amazon has clearly noticed this was an issue, and the page forward and back buttons have shuffled further back on the new Kindle.
On the bottom, there's the familiar micro-USB port and a lock button, replacing the earlier Kindle's slider.
We like the Kindle's reduced weight and smaller size – you can finally slip it in your coat pocket without being weighed down. But the loss of 3G connectivity is more of an issue.
Losing the ability to download books anywhere is a pain, but not a deal-breaker – you wouldn't want to type 'History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' into the Kindle Store using the D-pad, in any case. But finding that your Kindle hasn't synced up when you take it out of your bag on the train could quickly become irritating.
On the whole, though, the 2011 Kindle is a great ebook reader at a bargain-basement price. Now, can we have the Kindle Fire, please?

National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon on Tuesday briefed senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley on the ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control.
Menon's meeting with the senior BJP leaders took place at Sushma Swaraj's residence in New Delhi.
Amid escalating tension with Pakistan on the LoC, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke to the senior opposition leaders earlier on Monday.
Dr Singh, who assured both the leaders that the opposition would be kept in loop over the situation, also told them that the National Security Advisor would brief them on the developments on the LoC.
Tension between the two Asian neighbours has escalated ever since Indian jawan Lance Naik Hemraj Singh was beheaded in an attack by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control on January 8.
Sushma Swaraj met the family members of martyr Lance Naik Hemraj Singh in Mathura earlier on Monday.
Swaraj, who was accompanied by BJP President Nitin Gadkari, demanded strict actions from the Indian government over the ceasefire violations by Pakistan.
"We would demand both things from the government-firstly to seek apology from the family and the country for the apathy and also take revenge from Pakistan. Today, the country is demanding that we don't prove to be a weak government. The country will not accept the fact that our soldier is beheaded after crossing the Line of Control and there is no reaction in retaliation from the government's side," she told mediapersons after meeting the martyr's kin.
India had on Monday lodged a strong protest against the ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC and made it clear to it that the Army reserves the right to retaliate if provoked.
The Army's position was conveyed at a brigadier-level flag meeting between the two sides at Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing-point in Poonch sector of the Jammu region.
Chief of Army Staff, General Bikram Singh, had on Monday said Pakistan had pre-planned the whole operation, and added that the beheading and the mutilation of the bodies of two Indian jawans along the LoC was against all rules of engagement, gruesome and unpardonable.
Conveying his condolences to the families of the two Indian jawans killed by Pakistani troops, General Singh said Pakistani action is against the ethics and principle of soldiering.
"My heart especially goes out today to the families of two soldiers who were killed on the 8th (January 8), who were mutilated after the operation on the 8th. It was a gruesome act, most unpardonable act. We have launched a very strong protest in this regard through the government, through the Director General of Military Operation (DGMO)," said General Singh.
"Alongside, this act it defies all logic, it is against the very principles and rules of engagement. It is against the very ethics of soldiering and professionalism. And therefore, in very strong terms we have taken up this case with the Government of Pakistan through our government. The DGMOs have conveyed this in the talk," he added.
The Army Chief further talked tough, saying the Indian Army reserves the right to retaliate when it is provoked.
General Singh said the government is trying diplomatically to bring back Lance Naik Hemraj's head
Lance Naik Hemraj and Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh were killed by infiltrating Pakistani soldiers in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir on January 8.
Their bodies were found mutilated, sparking a diplomatic face-off between India and Pakistan and tension along the Line of Control that separates the two countries.
Pakistan has denied India's claim that its troops crossed the Line of Control to ambush a patrol party in the Mendhar sector in Poonch district.

In an effort to help facilitate a virtual neighborhood watch program and help foster neighbor-to-neighbor communications, the Niagara County Sheriff's Office has partnered with Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com), the private social network for neighborhoods.
Nextdoor is free for the residences of Niagara County. Each neighborhood has its own private Nextdoor neighborhood website, accessible only to residents of that neighborhood.
Residents can use their website to get to know their neighbors, ask questions, and exchange local advice and recommendations. For example, neighbors can use Nextdoor to share information about neighborhood watch and safety issues, local events, school activities, upcoming garage sales and lost pets.
Neighborhoods establish and self-manage their own Nextdoor website. Information shared on Nextdoor is only visible to verified members.
The Niagara County Sheriff's Office will be able to post important information, such as crime updates to Nextdoor sites within Niagara County. The Sheriff's Office will not be able to access the residents' websites, contact information, or content.
"In this day and age, it is vital for neighbors to come together and look out for one another. Nextdoor makes it easy for neighbors to establish virtual neighborhood watch and combat crime" said Sheriff James R. Voutour. "Nextdoor will help create a stronger and safer community that we call home".
Nextdoor was specifically designed to make neighbors feel comfortable sharing information with one another in order to build stronger communities. All members must verify that they live within the neighborhood. Information shared on Nextdoor is password protected and cannot be accessed by those outside the neighborhood or found on Google or other search engines. In addition, Nextdoor never shares personal information with any third parties. Unlike an email listserv or other online groups, neighbor posts are organized and archived for future reference.
Niagara County has been mapped into different neighborhoods. Visit www.nextdoor.com and enter your address. If Nextdoor is available in your area, sign up. If a Nextdoor website has not yet been established for their area, neighbors are invited to apply to bring Nextdoor to their neighborhood.

Do you feel stuck and you don't know why? Perhaps your challenges leave you feeling hopeless? Psychotherapist Barry Michels and psychiatrist Phil Stutz believe our biggest obstacles can be shifted into opportunities, and the first step for getting results is to ditch the traditional therapy methods.
"For years therapists have been taught to say, 'You want to get better? Well you've got to do the work,' but they never defined what the work was," said Stutz, who — along with Michels — co-wrote the new book "The Tools: Transform Your Problems into Courage, Confidence and Creativity." "We don't want to dig into your childhood and focus on the problem. Our method is about finding a solution."
Stutz and Michels, who have been teaching "The Tools" together for 25 years before writing this book, say they are "obsessed" with helping people get out of pain. One of the ways to do this, they said, is by embracing the "shadow" side of yourself, which are all the things you dislike or wish you could hide.
"We are so terrified that people will see our flaws, but until you really stand side-by-side with your shadow, you won't be able to move forward with confidence," Michels said. "Traditional forms of therapy want to discuss the past...but going over the past again and again, this doesn't remove the pain."
Our fears paralyze us into sticking with what we know rather than taking risks, but "you can't reap the rewards of life if you don't deal in," Stutz said.
Here are some of the tools you can use to feel empowered and move forward.
"You have to love the part of you that you hate the most," Michels said.
"If you look at the shadow, which (is) all the parts that you wish you were not — the parts you're hiding — if you can love those parts, then you have fully accepted yourself and that's actually when the magic happens," Stutz said.
"I had a patient who would get up in the morning and say 'I love myself, I accept myself, I'm going to be successful,' and I said 'How does that make you feel?' and she said it makes her feel great for like a minute or two and then she goes back to 'I hate myself, I suck, I'm ugly,'" Michels said. "What it revealed to me is not just the bankruptcy of just using affirmations, but that deep inside of us there is a part of us that we loathe — we hate — and unless we are willing to acknowledge that, self-love won't mean anything. Affirmations have no meaning if you are using them to mask pain without embracing all of your flaws."
"You're not going to be able to change your outer circumstances — they are what they are. If you fight that, you're in a losing battle," Michels said. "As hard as it is, you have to accept the conditions as they are configured. Yes, we're going to try to change them in the future, but accept them for as they are and see what issues they invoke inside of you so we can deal with those issues more effectively."
"You need to be prepared and willing to deal with (negative circumstances) for the rest of your life," Stutz said. "You have to build up the will to go through imperfections no matter how bad it gets."
"I tell people to picture the absolute worst outcome, and when they can sit in that space in their mind, it lessens the intensity and helps build confidence," Michels said. "This is a different way to motivate, but it's very effective."
"The more you need an authority figure to validate you, the more frightened you will be to assert yourself and ask for anything from that authority figure because you're risking that validation," Michels said.
"You have to make it a point of pride and a goal not to be validated," Stutz said. "People freak out when they hear that at first — but life will be much better if you focus on the lack of validation and how will you deal with that."
(Jenniffer Weigel will host an event with Barry Michels and Phil Stutz on Aug. 8 called "TribU: The Tools". For information and tickets, visit chicagotribune.com/classes.)

A plan to instutute the Carrboro Poetry Festival under the auspices of a 501c3 is under way. The Festival will be back on track for June 2007.
Carrburritan and festival participant Todd Sandvik was named the new Carrboro Poet Laureate. Tood is a well-respected local poet and host of the famed monthly Blue Door readings. Todd will serve as poet laureate for two years. He hopes to use his term to create new poetry events in the town including a poet's theater.

SOURCE: Is It Legal To
November 28, 2012 11:49 ET
DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - Nov 28, 2012) - The legal forums at Is It Legal To have unveiled a new International Law Forum page on its website. Is It Legal To has over 30,000 members that stay up to date on United States and international laws. The International Law forums have 65 sections discussing county specific laws. Like a physical public forum such as a park or sidewalk, at Is It Legal To, forum users can express their right of free speech and open discourse about any topic.
"U.S. Laws are not universal, and Is It Legal To wanted to expand its website to reflect our global world," says the owner of Is It Legal To. "This means we create threads for each country that has interesting and newsworthy law decisions and implications, separating countries to different sections just like we did for the 50 United States."
Different government laws in Canada are the most discussed on the International Law Forum with 213 active threads. Human resource, divorce, debt and other laws are up for conversation. Personal privacy is a large concern on many of the threads, as members of Is It Legal To often come to ask anonymous questions. News and dialog about laws in less politically stable countries are active on the legal forums, as well.
In addition to discussing individual government laws, the forum also devotes posts to relationships between countries on its International Law Forums. Conflict in laws, treaties and supranational law are also important to the global legal discussion.
Is It Legal To also hosts a law dictionary, legal blog and legal news section. Threads about U.S. government laws currently make up the majority of the forums. New blogs are posted twice a week and new threads are started every day. Private message functions, social media integration and search engine optimization are also implemented on the forums.
Is It Legal To is a comprehensive legal forum and blog with 30,000 members and 35,000 posts. The legal news forums are updated daily and the site is designed to be easy to use and read. Registration is free and open to any Internet user.

Hey everyone,
Despite a topic titled No love for Castle in this very Dear LEGO forum, I would argue that AFOL Castleheads have been getting quite the attention the past few years.
Apart from the Castle (Fantasy Era) and Kingdoms lines that are taking LEGO Castle sets closer to the way us "adults" remember LEGO Castle from our childhood, there have been amazing AFOL-targeted releases such as 10193 Medieval Market Village and the new 10223 Kingdoms Joust.
However, we are AFOLs and no matter how happy and excited we get about new stuff, we always want more!
That's why I'm starting this topic, for you guys to drop your ideas in. What do you want to see in the future of LEGO Castle? Where do you think things should be taken from here? What are your hopes and dreams and wishes?
Of course I can't guarantee anything at all, and this is nothing but wishes and speculation from our fandom side, but I will relay any trends I see in ideas to The LEGO Group's Community Engagement and Communication department.

THAT: The Board of Regents of Higher Education authorizes Montana State University - Bozeman to expend the remaining balance (less than $25,000 remaining) of FY95 and FY97 reverted appropriations to renovate a portion of the Anatomy Lab in Linfield Hall.
EXPLANATION: 1. The Board of Regents previously authorized the expenditure of $236,885.76 in reverted funds for the renovation of an under-graduate science class/lab in Lewis Hall. That project is now complete and there remains a reversion fund balance of less than $25,000.
2. Many of the undergraduate class rooms, class/labs and support spaces on campus have badly deteriorated flooring, wall surfaces, lighting systems, lab benches, cabinetry and lab fixtures; insufficient lab and support utility services; inadequate ventilation; and code/life safety deficiencies.
3. This project will address deferred maintenance and ventilation work in Linfield Anatomy Lab 122, using the remaining balance (less than $25,000) of MSU's reverted appropriation funds in accordance with Regent's Policy 901.6, and MCA 17-7-304.
