It was the fifth conference win of the season for the Bisons, breaking the program record of four set last season.
"We didn't play as well as we would have liked," said Bisons coach Charles Morrow. "The weather was cold, rainy and windy. It wasn't typical Florida weather.
"We had to win the first half. We didn't have to win the second half. The weather dictated the game."
Midfielder Angel Chairez scored the first goal for Lipscomb at 30:36 of the first half with an assist by forward Miguel DaSilva.
"DaSilva crossed and was knocked down," said Morrow. "Angel hit it out of the air. It deflected off the goalkeeper, but he wasn't going to save it."
The Bisons took a 2-0 lead when midfielder Jeremy Reid scored with an assist from Tony Garibaldi at 38:08.
"Jeremy's goal was unbelievable," said Morrow. "Tony took a shot and was deflected off of a defender," said Morrow. "The keeper was coming out on Jeremy as he got the ball. He just lifted the ball over the keeper."
North Florida closed the gap at 56:13 when forward Adam O'Neil found the net.
Defenseman Garrett McLaughlin added an insurance goal at 82:34 as he connected on a penalty kick.
The Bisons have been scoring goals, but the defense has dealt with some issues. Morrow thought they put together a solid performance against North Florida holding them to 12 shot attempts and five shots on goal.
Lipscomb goalkeeper Patrick Walsh made three saves. One save was credited to the team.
"For the most part defensively we did a great job," said Morrow. "Pat Walsh did an outstanding job of coming out and cutting out balls."
The Bisons made 17 shot attempts with five shots on goal.
Reid and McLaughlin scored their first goals of the season. Eleven different Bisons have scored at least one goal this season.
Sunday afternoon the Bisons face Jacksonville in the finale of the regular season at noon. The game is billed as the "A-Sun Game of the Week".
The Bisons raised their record to 9-7-2 overall, 5-2-1 in the A-Sun. North Florida slipped to 7-10-0, 3-5-0 in the conference.

National Geographic : 2007 Oct
N SEPTEMBER 1994, a violent disease erupted among racehorses in a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. The place, called Hendra, was a quiet old neighborhood filled with racecourses, stables, newsstands that sell tip sheets, corner cafes with names like The Feed Bin, and racing people. The first victim was a pregnant mare named Drama Series, who started showing symptoms in an outlying pasture and was brought back to her trainer's stable for doctoring, where she only got worse. Three people worked to save her-the trainer himself, his stable foreman, and a veterinarian. Within two days Drama Series died, leaving the cause of her trouble uncertain. Had she been bitten by a snake? Had she eaten some poisonous weeds out in that scrubby, derelict meadow? Those hypotheses were eliminated two weeks later, when most of her stablemates fell ill. This wasn't snakebite or toxic fodder. It was some thing contagious. The other horses suffered fever, respiratory distress, facial swelling, and clumsiness; in some, bloody froth came from the nostrils and mouth. Despite heroic efforts by the veterinarian, 12 more animals died within days. Meanwhile the trainer himself got sick; so did the stable fore man. The vet, who was following cautionary procedures but working amid the same mad cir cumstances, stayed healthy. After a few days in a hospital, the trainer died. His kidneys had failed and he couldn't breathe. The stable fore man, a bighearted man named Ray Unwin, who had merely gone home to endure his fever in private, survived. He and the veterinarian told me their stories when I found them in Hendra last year. Ray Unwin is a middle-aged working bloke with a sandy red ponytail and a weary sad ness in his eyes, who professed that he wasn't a "whinger" (complainer) but said his health has been "crook" (not right) since it happened. Laboratory analysis revealed that the horses and the men were infected by a previously unknown virus. At first the lab people called it equine morbillivirus, meaning a horse virus close ly related to measles. Later, as its uniqueness be came better appreciated, it was renamed after the place itself: Hendra. The veterinarian, a tall, gen tle fellow named Peter Reid, told me that "the speed with which it went through those horses was unbelievable." At the height of the crisis, seven animals had succumbed to ugly deaths or required euthanasia within just 12 hours. One of them died thrashing and gasping so desperately that Reid couldn't get close enough to give it the merciful needle. "I'd never seen a virus do anything like that before," he said. A man of understatement, he recalled it as "a pretty traumatic time." Identifying the new virus was only step one in solving the immediate mystery of Hendra, let alone understanding the case in a wider context. Step two involved tracking that virus to its hiding place. Where did the thing exist when it wasn't killing horses and people? Step three entailed asking a further cluster of questions: How did it emerge from its secret refuge, and why here, and why now? After our first conversation, Peter Reid drove me out to the site where Drama Series took sick. ZOONOTIC DISEASES 83

Sometimes it really does pay to have friends in high places.
For more than seven years, musician/artist Lady Starlight, born Colleen Martin, has been a close confidant of pop icon Lady Gaga. In the early days, she served as an artistic collaborator and occasional muse, helping Gaga dream up some of her more elaborate costumes. On Gaga's current tour, Starlight, 37, serves as a supporting act, warming up the audience with a high-concept set she described as "performance art." Though Gaga was forced to postpone the tour's Wednesday and Thursday shows at the United Center due to an injury, Starlight will be in town to perform at Berlin.
"It's meant to shock people and make them have an experience they didn't expect, and possibly didn't want," she said. "I want to challenge people...and encourage them that there are no boundaries to what you can do onstage."
Starlight's close relationship with Gaga--the two share travel accommodations on the road and chat on a daily basis--has given her a unique perspective on the pop star's ascent. In a recent phone interview, Starlight opened up about appearing with Gaga at Lollapalooza in 2007 and 2010, the major difference separating the two Ladies and the ongoing "Born Brave Bus" tailgate, a pre-concert party/meet-and-greet where fans will have access to counseling, volunteer opportunities and bullying and suicide prevention resources.
On moving from the Lollapalooza side stage in '07 to headliner in '10
We had a decent crowd (in 2007), but it got bigger and bigger as people said, "What is going on over there?" It's a lot of rock and guys [at Lollapalooza], and we were the opposite. It was like a big old [bleep] you. [2010] was the most incredible full circle moment. To walk out on that stage and see that crowd ... I will never forget that.
On Lady Gaga's ability to remain unchanged despite the intense media spotlight
It's very surprising how little effect it's had. Really, we were always preparing for this. This level is what we set out to achieve. She's naturally down-to-earth, and she always kept a perspective on the bigger picture. The fact that she still has me and all her old friends in her life shows you how little she has changed. We still do all the same things; it's just that now we're in really expensive hotels.
On the major difference between Lady Starlight and Lady Gaga
There's not much of one, actually. We just had a conversation today, and she could understand what I was going through because we think exactly the same. Her objective has always been bigger, though. She wants to get her message across to as many people [as] possible. I wish I had that, but for some reason I insist on doing the thing least likely to succeed. That's my mission, to destroy my career.
On the "Born Brave Bus" meet-and-greet
This is not just a show. It's creating an entire environment for her fans. On a purely selfish level, it's wonderful for me to get to meet the fans and talk to them like a normal person. I don't like the idea of being some kind of celebrity or famous or whatever. It's a chance to let them know there is a place for them in this world, and a big one. That we're all out there and we're all in it together.
On the mannequin with "puffy pink pubic hair" that appeared on Gaga's recently leaked tour rider
There is no mannequin. There are a lot of other things. Maybe they've updated it? Maybe [the mannequin] is coming? I'll check tonight. Maybe it'll be there.
On what she would include on her own tour rider
I'd have a kitchen in my dressing room so I could cook all my own food. That's the thing I miss most about being on the road. I'm very skilled at making incredibly low-calorie substitutes for comfort foods. I've thought about doing a blog on it, and that might be coming.
On helping conceive Gaga's earliest costumes
We always wanted things we couldn't afford. We wanted things to light up and fog to come out of garments. Basically everything she does now because she has a budget and an awesome creative team.
On concerns this creative costuming could someday become a crutch or a gimmick
When it really comes from that place, and it's your own extreme creativity, I feel like it will never come across as a gimmick.
On constructing a meat dress of her own
I'm going to use tempeh. I'm going to be sensitive to animal rights [laughs].

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while! Anyway, we're working on the october theme now so we hope to get it done sometime early october at the latest. Also, due to the recent newsletter we sent to every member, the request forum kind of exploded, so MODS I hope some of you are still here T_T. I am still thinking about a mod clean-up .. .
Note: Profile requests might take a little longer to make at this moment. Not because they are bigger but we have to finish the avatars and banners first. Have patience please!

New Ideas/Updates:
♦ october theme: Rachel Alucard from BlazBlue
♦ suggest some winter themes in the suggestion forum , members!
♦ might update the structure of the profile page . . . maybe..
♦ there are also several few new shop owners/mods coming in. it's not on the page now, but i will get to that.
Another poll for a winter theme will be up in November.
We will also be posting up a "partner group" called Grand Anime Vote. It's a place to go when you have nothing to do, and it can be entertaining =).

Happy october everyone! The group's theme is on it's way to completion! Additionally, I have established rankings among our mods/shop owners! There's three rankings currently:
◘ Rank 3: the lowest rank ; no this isn't bad -_- it just stands for a regular mod really. This ranking is also given to those who have just joined (unless there's some sort of exception) , are still improving their graphics, or mods that are not very active
◘ Rank 2: a little more important ^^ They have proven themselves active here for a while and can make some pretty nice graphics. Rank 3s, I'm sure you will reach here soon ~.
◘ Rank 1: godly graphic makers or people with special recognition or the people that will stay with me til the very end!!! D:<
Mods, to raise your rankings, we will be watching your activity in this group and see if you qualify eventually.
Btw I was kind of joking about the last part of the rank 1 description. I can't be annoying and clingy -_-

Hello, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving (if u celebrate it xD).Our winter theme is ending, and we are about to start ! Thank you to the 4 contestants that have participated. Voting begins tomorrow. Also, we are thinking of doing "profile freebies". They will not be in the freebie mall forum however, but will be in another forum that still connects with the freebie mall. I do not want anybody stealing this idea for their own groups either, so mods i need ur help if u find anything fishy :/ . I will explain more about it later when the time comes. Anyway, the FM itself is going good so far ^^ but still need more.

I'm thinking of re-doing the whole profile.. Not only did my skills improve a lot during the months, but also I originally planned to make it look like a "shopping place/center", whatever you call it xD. So later this group might go under a huge re-construction stage. But it will be looking way more awesome ^^.
Also, voting for the winter theme is still in session so please vote if you haven't. The winner's entries will be posted on the group's page from December 6th through the 19th. After that day I might start to switch up the profile formatting and stuff. ..Oh, we got our new winter music too! A bit orchestra-ish and some j-pop ~ I don't want to make it all crazy and annoying to people who enter the group lol.

This time, it's a hotter, waterier, wilder Earth that world leaders are trying to save.
The last time that the nations of the world struck a binding agreement to fight global warming was 1997, in Kyoto, Japan. As leaders gather for a conference in Paris on Monday to try to do more, it's clear things have changed dramatically over the past 18 years.
Some differences can be measured: degrees on a thermometer, trillions of tons of melting ice, a rise in sea level of a couple of inches. Epic weather disasters, including punishing droughts, killer heat waves and monster storms, have plagued Earth.
As a result, climate change is seen as a more urgent and concrete problem...

The second generation of OSNews' mobile web site is now up and running. The new version has an even simpler design than before which makes it much easier to render on under-featured HTML browsers, usually found on phones, PDAs or other embedded devices. The new design does not display any ads or a sidebar, but goes directly to the "meat" of the information. Read more for info & screenshots.

Developed by a company with 20 years of experience in language learning and over ten million customers, uTalk gives you the key words you need and a fast, scientific way of remembering them.
Unlike a phrasebook or translator, this beginners app hardwires basic spoken Tswana into your brain so that it feels like your first language.
WHAT you learn
Learning fewer words which trip off the tongue like your own language is far better than learning heaps that aren't there when you want them, so uTalk focusses on the basics – 275 of the words and phrases you're most likely to need including how to order a drink, find a chemist and ask for an aspirin! Plus food, phrases, colours, numbers, shopping and more.
HOW it works
This interactive product is the result of extensive research into how the brain learns fastest. It uses:
• Images – to stimulate both halves of our brains, visual as well as logical.
• Fun quizzes – because we remember best what we're interested in.
• Speech, recording and playback – to perfect your accent by comparing with native speakers.
• A point scoring system – that gives feedback on progress and rewards success.
WHY waste time? Download now and see how much vocabulary you can learn in a spare 10 minutes with this best-selling method from EuroTalk!
English not your first language?
Don't worry! You can learn Tswana from any of over 100 languages – all in this single app.

What would it be like to go to the Super Bowl and then see that some of the players have decided to sit in the stands rather than play because it is easier to just watch the game? What would you think of those players? What would you think of a coach and team owner that would allow such a thing?
Imagine visiting an Italian restaurant in Little Italy in New York and asking one of the waitresses how the food is only to hear her respond, "I don't know. I don't like Italian food."
Now shift to a recent trade show where a club manager was kidding about the fact he had no time to work out and laughed about the extra pounds he was carrying. Yet, he was looking for the latest equipment for his club.
Although I know of no studies on the percentage of club personnel who don't work out, I'm sure it would be a substantially higher number than the general public would ever believe. Yes, even being in a club and surrounded by equipment every day does not ensure that a person will have a healthy lifestyle and a fit body.
Does it make a difference when the staff at a club — front desk, sales, management and trainers — exercise regularly? It would be easy to find examples of clubs where many of the staff don't exercise, but the club still makes money. The question is, can a non-exercising staff be bad for business, or is no harm done if members (or potential members) don't know that the staff doesn't work out?
Let's look at two clubs in a marketplace. Both have about the same programs, facilities, location and management capabilities. At one club, some of the staff exercise but just as many don't — using the very same reasons most people use for not exercising. Do nonexercising salespeople at this club find themselves subconsciously agreeing with prospects when they start hearing certain objections? Does the fact that the nonexercising salespeople don't believe in exercise (at least enough to actually exercise themselves) affect their ability to convince people to join and exercise?
At the other club, the vast majority of the staff exercise regularly and love it so much that they wouldn't dream of going without it. After all, they reason, they can't see why they would want to increase their stress, lower their energy, stop fitting into their clothes and lower their self esteem by not exercising.
Of these two clubs, at which one do you think members would get the best results, refer the most people and stay the longest?
The owner of one of the most profitable clubs in the country (and in a very competitive market) clearly sees the connection between a staff that "walks the talk" and his bottom line. He knows that it all starts with his personal commitment to regular activity. He doesn't try to "force" people to exercise (and he knows he can't legally anyway) because he knows force doesn't work with people "inside" the industry any more than it does with people "outside" the industry. Instead, prior to hiring people, he finds out their fitness goals, habits and beliefs. Before they are hired, he makes sure they understand that as employees of his club, they need to become regular in some kind of activity program. To further his commitment to them (and as he sees it, his commitment to his members), he provides all employees with free nutritional programming and a number of free personal training sessions. Both members and staff love being at his club. It is all done with a sincere compassion and strong desire to keep making substantial profits.
To many, the idea that we set the example may seem like a trivial concept that doesn't affect our ability to make money, but the example we set is critical. It helps inspire our members to exercise. A recent Department of Health study showed that most people now have a "what's-the-use?" attitude when it comes to exercise, which means that out-of-shape club personnel can only reinforce such an attitude. It shows that if health club employees can't find a way to exercise, then there is little hope for those who aren't employed at a club.
Club staff members that don't stay active and fit are not "bad" or "wrong." However, having more staff getting fit is as positive for a club as having more members getting fit at the club.
It is motivating to know that many of those in the industry are on the cutting edge of fitness and our industry is probably the "fittest" in the world. Therefore, when a staff member is inactive and out of shape, it sends a confusing message to our market. And, yes, we can be fit but not necessarily be a size 6, have a 34 inch waist or exercise hours every week — which is an important message that our market is happy to know. However, commitment, rearranged priorities, fitness integrity and the love of what we are selling can only add to the strength of our industry, our club, our members — and yes, ourselves. Who could possibly have no time for that?

CM Storm Trooper Review
Cooler Master is at it again with another case on the market. After being thrilled with their HAF 932 Black Edition I thought I would never buy another case. However, once I get an up close and personal look at their newest release I might be checking out the market again. The CM Storm Trooper is a full chassis designed with extra space for all your hardware upgrades as well as a durable, built-in handle to lug it from LAN party to LAN party.
I personally have a love for full tower designs over the majority of other case form factors. After working with all the extra space, especially the added room for cable management behind the motherboard, going back to a smaller case is hardly worth the lower cost. I'm looking forward to seeing everything the Storm Trooper has to offer, so let's check it out.
Closer Look:
After a long day of classes I drove home to find a tall box sitting inside the mudroom door. Thankfully, the delivery guy was kind enough to place it out of the rain. Due to the stature of the package I knew it was another case for review, but I took one look at it and was pretty excited to dig into the box. It isn't the ordinary brown box with some black and white drawings that play tricks with your mind while you try to figure out what it actually contains. Instead the box has an actual image of the case with its subtle red lighting from the lower fans and power button. It almost looks scary; I better leave the lights on tonight!
Turning the box around to the back side we find eight different languages bragging about some of its unique elements. The features that seem to be different than most of the "usual" cases are the three grommet ports for water cooling, the Storm Guard (protects your parts from being stolen), built-in dust filters for the fans, and two removable/rotating HDD modules. I cannot wait to play with this case because there is so much more to do with it than just load it up with hardware.
The sides of the box are a little less exciting, but they go on to list the specifications and give one more look at the case. The punch-in handles on the box make it easy to transport, and they are well needed since this case is already heavy even when completely empty. Enough about the box though, let's open it.
The top of the box opens up just like any other box; nothing too difficult for any of you out there. The case itself is wrapped in a soft foam packing bag and sandwiched between the usual foam end caps. It fits snugly in the box with little room to move, which means it will enjoy a nice safe ride on the delivery truck. Despite being tightly packed, pulling it out of the box is a little easier than most cases due to that featured top handle. With such tight tolerances between the box and foam, getting it out of the the packaging without the handle would have been a two-person job.
Enough with the packing already! Most of you do not care how it shows up as long as it is in one piece. Even if your delivery man likes to throw packages around I can confidently assure you the Storm Trooper will arrive safely at your doorstep.

A football supporter has received a football banning order for letting off a smoke canister in Alfreton.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Wednesday, May 28, how Shaun Millward, 31, of Belgrave Road, Macclesfield, pleaded guilty to being in possession of a smoke canister at a designated sporting event.
Police explained that Millward had attended the Alfreton Town v Macclesfield match on April 26, at The Impact Arena, and was seen to ignite and throw a smoke canister in the ground. He received a 12 month community order with 100 hours unpaid work, and a three-year football banning order and he was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge. PC Roger Brown, Football Intelligence Officer for Alfreton Town, said: "There has been a significant increase in the use of pyrotechnics at football matches. It is illegal and dangerous and anyone caught will be arrested and put before the courts."

PowerColor HD4830 Review
With the great economic hardships that we are in more and more people are being cost conscious when they make a purchase wether it be gas for the car or computer hardware. We want the best we can get for the money we spend. ATI has realized this issue and also realize that people want to get that upgrade to bring their computers faster and up to date so they have released the HD 4830 series card. The HD 4830 series cards bring a good performer for not a lot of money to the video card table. PowerColor has released their HD 4830 targeted at mainstream PC users looking for a bit of a graphics boost.
Closer Look:
The PowerColor HD 4830 card comes packaged in the same type and design that the other 4800 series cards arrived in that I previously tested. On the front of the box is their mascot and logo surrounded by specification logos and the card model. On the rear of the box PowerColor expands on some of the more important specifications and features that the HD 4830 has to offer.
Opening the packaging there is an inner box that is designed to keep the contents and the card safe and secure. Once you open the flap you get a teaser of the card in the protective anti-static wrapping. Inside the box is the PowerColor HD 4830 card, a driver CD, and a manual. Nothing else is provided.
Now that everything is out of the box let's get a better look at the card up close.

Is June the Most Underrated Sports Month?
What's the best sports month in a year?
It could be January because of the BCS National Championship, and the NFL playoffs? Possibly February because of the Super Bowl or March because of March Madness? How about April because of Opening Day and the Masters? Maybe it's September because of the start of the NFL season, or October because of the World Series?
All of those months are solid, but the one month that may top them all, and may be the most underrated sports month, is June.
Well, the NBA crowns a champion, the NHL gives away the Stanley Cup and golf has the U.S. Open. All of which have plenty of history.
The NBA Finals is where "amazing" happens. The NBA first crowned a champion in 1946-1947, and have seen the best take home basketball's most coveted championship trophy. Bill Russell won 11 rings with the Boston Celtics. Kareem Abdul-Jabber, Bob Cousy, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen all won six. Magic Johnson, and Kobe Bryant have won five titles. Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal have won four. Larry Bird has won three. Plus, the game's biggest superstar, LeBron James, is trying to win his second consecutive ring. The Finals have provided great players with great moments.
Meanwhile, the Stanley Cup is named after Lord Stanley and will be handed out to the Chicago Blackhawks, or Boston Bruins.
The Stanley Cup is a trophy that has been around since 1926. This year, it will be given to the Blackhawks or Bruins, which are two of the "Original Six," teams that began play in 1942.
Lastly, the U.S. Open has some pretty incredible history, too. The U.S. Open is golf's second major, and has been around since 1895 when the tournament began on a nine-hole course at the Newport Golf and Country Club in Rhode Island.
All three championship events have set themselves apart as some of the best, and most compelling events in American sports.
To say the least, the three championship events haven't disappointed in 2013, either.
First, in the NBA Finals, James is chasing a second straight title, and Duncan is chasing his fifth ring after he first won a ring in 1999.
The Finals have seen fantastic moments that have made basketball fans jump out of their seats, and yell at their televisions. The first two games started off with a bang as Tony Parker beat the shot clock in Game One with a off balance jumper, and LeBron James made "the block," in Game Two. In Game Three, role players Danny Green, and Mike Neal help the San Antonio Spurs take a 2-1 lead by knocking down a NBA Finals record 16 three-pointers. In Game Four, the Heat's "Big Three," combined for 75 points in a 109-93 route of the Spurs. Then, in Game Five, the Spurs came back and took a 3-2 lead behind a 114-104 route of the Heat.
The 2013 NBA Finals have been filled with plenty of superstar moments, but role players Green, Neal, and Mike Miller have stole the stage.
Second, the Stanley Cup began with the fifth longest game in the Cup's history with two of the game's oldest teams. The Blackhawks defeated the Bruins in three overtimes, 4-3. In Game Two, the Bruins evened the series at 1 with a 2-1 victory in overtime. Game Three is tonight.
Lastly, the U.S. Open ended on Sunday and was played under tough conditions at Merian as Justin Rose won the 72-hole tournament with a score of +1. Phil Mickleson held the 54-hole lead, but finished second at the U.S. Open for the sixth time.
Now, you make the call. Is June the most underrated sports month?

Danny East, Henoc Mukendi and Chris Smith have all returned to their parent clubs following loan spells at Northampton.
Last Updated: 03/01/13 2:48pm
Danny East, Henoc Mukendi and Chris Smith have all returned to their parent clubs following loan spells at Northampton.
Hull City full-back East joined the Cobblers at the end of August and made 19 appearances for the League Two club.
Liverpool forward Mukendi made the move to Sixfields at the start of the season and the forward played in 13 matches, scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 Johnstone's Paint Trophy success over Colchester in October.
Defender Smith was brought in from Swindon towards the end of November as cover and did not feature for Aidy Boothroyd's side.
A statement on the club's official website said: "Northampton Town would like to thank the players and their clubs for their assistance and wish all of the players every success for the future."
Meanwhile, Northampton expect to sign experienced centre-half Clarke Carlisle on a permanent deal before the weekend.
The 33-year-old, whose second loan spell at Sixfields concluded with the league win over Aldershot on December 22, is a free agent after his six-month contract at York expired.

Ed Murray, Mayor
SUBJECT: Michael S. Stanley sentenced in harassment case
Kimberly Mills (206) 684-8602
Registered sex offender Michael S. Stanley on Tuesday pleaded guilty to harassment and resisting arrest charges stemming from his arrest in West Seattle last October.
Stanley has been held in the King County Jail on $100,000 bail, an unusually high amount for misdemeanor charges, while the King County Prosecutor's Office investigates a separate, alleged sexual assault on a teenage male. Stanley, 48, is an American citizen who re-entered the United States last fall from Canada, where he has an extensive sex crimes record. Also, in Washington state, he was earlier convicted of first-degree burglary and DUI.
Before Municipal Court Judge Willie Gregory On Tuesday, Stanley admitted to the harassment charge that, while intoxicated on the morning of Oct. 22, he was making loud noises in an alley behind a residence in West Seattle. When a male victim asked him to be quiet, Stanley repeatedly threatened to beat him up, and then resisted arrest when contacted by Seattle police officers.
With credit for time served and 154 days of the 364-day sentence for harassment suspended, Stanley is eligible for release on March 10, according to jail officials. The time on the lesser charge of resisting arrest was suspended consecutive to the 210 in-custody days he received on the harassment charge, and can be revoked should Stanley violate the conditions of probation.
According to the sentencing recommendation by the City and ordered by the judge, Stanley must: provide a DNA sample; obey written anti-harassment orders protecting the three victims; not violate criminal law; have no alcohol or drug offenses; abstain from marijuana; undergo chemical dependency treatment; possess no weapons, and update the court on his current address. Stanley, who is homeless, will be under the court's jurisdiction for two years.

Few poets have captured the feeling of jazz – its rhythms, its cadences, its sense of freedom – more lyrically than Langston Hughes. The music courses through his words, which carry backbeats and melodies as seductive as those in any solo by a great jazz saxophonist.
Which is why jazz musicians long have been drawn to Hughes' writing. The latest is a young Chicago pianist who in the past few years has immersed himself in Hughes' work. So for Stu Mindeman's recording debut, "In Your Waking Eyes," he has convened some of the city's best musicians to perform his original settings of 11 Hughes poems.
That's an ambitious project for any jazz musician and a bold one for a 26-year-old making his first statement on disc. But Mindeman mostly pulls it off, applying Hughes' ineffably expressive words to melodies, syncopations and chord changes that somehow evoke the poet's Harlem Renaissance era but also ours, as well.
None of which would have been possible were it not for the jazz and blues sensibility that pervades so much of Hughes' writing.
"If you just read it out loud, it sounds like a swinging bebop line or a funky R&B melody or a blues melody – that's one of the reasons it translates so well," says Mindeman, who will perform this music Wednesday evening at eta Creative Arts Foundation and April 10 at Constellation.
"Also, he himself spent a lot of time with jazz musicians. I found a great recording of him reading an hour's worth of his own poetry with Charles Mingus' band. … It was really cool to hear him, because he was very animated – huge dynamic contrasts in his reading.
"For him, it wasn't only (about) the imagery and the words and the emotions but also the musicality of the words themselves and the sounds of the syllables. And you could tell from him reading the poems that that was how he thought about it as well."
By choosing to create songs embracing Hughes poems such as "Drum," "Africa," "Song for Billie Holiday" and "Blues at Dawn," Mindeman reminds listeners of the deep cultural pride that radiates from Hughes' poetry. Yet these pieces also underscore one unavoidable fact: Mindeman is viewing Hughes' work as an outsider.
"I'm a Caucasian American, my life experience is inherently different than Langston Hughes' was," Mindeman is quick to acknowledge. "One thing I learned from (him), and it's in his poetry: He has profound faith in his own heritage and a devotion to his heritage, and I wanted to respect that.
"So a lot of the styles that I chose to set the poetry are more modern styles, but it's still in that African-American tradition that's rooted in jazz and blues."
As for the racial difference between Mindeman and Hughes, "I think it's not something to be ignored," Mindeman says. "I don't in any way try to claim any cultural ownership or authority over jazz as a genre or (over) African-American music.
"But I still am really drawn to the emotion in his poetry. And I think that any way that I can bring that to life in a new way is much more a demonstration of my respect to him and to the traditional of jazz and poetry than it is trying to assume authority over some of it."
Musically, the balance between past and present shifts constantly through Mindeman's opus, which sometimes veers a bit too close to light dance beats to feel persuasive. But at their best, Mindeman's songs suggest both historic and present-day sensibilities. The musicians' pulsing rhythms in "Drum" and "Africa," the flowing melody lines of "Sea Calm" and the atmospheric tone of "Kid in the Park" represent serious, deeply felt responses to Hughes' poetry.
Much of the strength of these performances is owed to Chicago singer Sarah Marie Young, who turns in some of the best work of her career on this album. Mostly avoiding the yelling that has marred some of her earlier work, Young this time brings real nuance and subtlety to Hughes' text and Mindeman's melody lines. Though there's no mistaking the influence of Esperanza Spalding here – especially in Young's breathy, nearly whispered phrases – that only helps bring Hughes' world into the present.
Add to this edgy musical commentary from drummer Makaya McCraven, trumpeter Quentin Coaxum and others, and you have an instrumental backdrop that adds to the power of poetry without distracting from it.
But does this often forward-looking music-making, which includes Mindeman's electric piano, really suit the poetry of a man who was born in 1902 and died in 1967?
A case can be made that Hughes would have embraced the ancient-meets-modern aspects of this music.
"Jazz is a great big sea," Hughes wrote in his famous, 1956 essay "Jazz as Communication." "It washes up all kinds of fish and shells and spume and waves with a steady old beat, or off-beat. And Louis (Armstrong) must be getting old if he thinks J.J. (Johnson) and Kai (Winding) – and even Elvis (Presley) – didn't' come out of the same sea he came out of, too."
And though anyone attempting to define what jazz is likely will run into semantic problems, that didn't stop Hughes from trying.
"To me jazz is a montage of a dream deferred," he wrote in the "Jazz as Communication" essay. "A great big dream – yet to come – and always yet – to become ultimately and finally true."
That searching quality pervades Mindeman's "In Your Waking Eyes," which shows a young musician trying to come to terms with the poetry of one of the greatest writers America has produced. It's a formidable challenge, and Mindeman deserves a great deal of credit for taking it on.
Hughes poems, after all, "unlock an entire world or an entire universe and so much more," as Mindeman rightly puts it.
And Mindeman's music illuminates some of the meanings of Hughes' art, both men articulating their thoughts in a thoroughly American language: jazz.
Stu Mindeman and his ensemble, with singer Sarah Marie Young, performs at 7 p.m. Wednesday at eta Creative Arts Foundation, 7558 S. South Chicago Ave.; $10; charlesheathpresents.com. Also at 9:30 p.m. April 10 at Constellation, 3111 N. Western Ave.; $8; constellation-chicago.com.

LOS ANGELES – Jay Leno is keeping up a comedy assault on his NBC bosses even after being treated to a make-nice dinner.
During his monologue Friday, the "Tonight Show" host asked his Burbank studio audience if they'd heard about his "alleged feud" with NBC.
Leno started taking on-air potshots at the network this month amid reports that the network plans to replace him at "Tonight" with Jimmy Fallon.
According to a NBC transcript from Friday's taping, Leno said that he had dinner Thursday with a "bunch of NBC executives" who offered to make things up to him: He and his wife are going on an all-expenses paid Carnival Cruise, he joked.
In February, passengers endured five nightmarish days on a crippled Carnival Cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico.
In another wisecrack, Leno cited news reports of a Canadian man who had a knife pulled from his back after three years. Sniped Leno: "He must have worked at NBC, too."
NBC confirmed this week it's creating a new studio for Fallon in New York, where he hosts "Late Night." But the network did not comment on a report that the digs at its Rockefeller Plaza headquarters may become home to a transplanted, Fallon-hosted "Tonight."
This isn't the first time the "Tonight" stage has been used for a workplace dispute. In 2010, when Conan O'Brien briefly took over as "Tonight" host and Leno was moved to prime-time at NBC, the two traded on-air barbs.
Although late-night hosts are known for needling their network bosses, the timing of Leno's latest jabs seemed to make NBC's executives particularly uncomfortable and they asked him to stop. They don't want a repeat of the publicly messy turnover of just three years ago.
The 62-year-old Leno's current contract expires next year. For NBC, the 38-year-old Fallon represents a bid to launch a next-generation host for "Tonight" — although Leno has kept the show No. 1 in the ratings despite a challenge from Jimmy Kimmel's ABC show.
"You know the whole legend of St. Patrick, right? St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland — and then they came to the United States and became NBC executives," Leno joked on Monday's show.
On Tuesday, he played off a news report about a Serbian woman with a rare brain condition that causes her to see the world upside down: "Isn't that crazy? It's unbelievable. She sees everything upside down. In fact, she thinks NBC is at the top of the ratings."

Ubaldo can't escape third inning in loss to A's
BALTIMORE -- For a moment, it seemed that the Orioles were going to get the type of start from Ubaldo Jimenez they had hoped for when they signed him to a four-year, $50 million contract this offseason.
The starting pitcher walked one batter, but with two strikeouts -- one on a blistering fastball, the other on a devastating splitter -- and a double play he had managed to face the minimum through two innings.View Full Game Coverage
BALTIMORE -- For a moment, it seemed that the Orioles were going to get the type of start from Ubaldo Jimenez they had hoped for when they signed him to a four-year, $50 million contract this offseason.
The starting pitcher walked one batter, but with two strikeouts -- one on a blistering fastball, the other on a devastating splitter -- and a double play he had managed to face the minimum through two innings.View Full Game Coverage
By the time the third came around, everything had changed. Jimenez couldn't find the strike zone against the Athletics. Derek Norris walked on eight pitches. Alberto Callaspo took his free pass on five. Kyle Blanks battled back to walk on seven. The 7-8-9 hitters loaded the bases without putting a ball in play.
John Jaso delivered a near grand slam that was instead ruled a double to give Oakland an early lead. Three batters later, Brandon Moss delivered a no-doubter with the bases loaded to give the A's a six-run inning, chase Jimenez (2-7) from the game and sending some of the 38,244 out of their seats on the way to an 11-1 blowout at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
"The first two innings it looked like we were going to get a quality start and then the walks were a challenge for everybody today," O's manager Buck Showalter said. "You just can't compete, especially against a team like that, walking too many people."
Baltimore couldn't muster anything on offense -- not that it mattered -- as Scott Kazmir (7-2), the Major League castoff turned quiet Cy Young candidate, shut out the O's over the course of seven four-hit innings.
"We knew that Kazmir is having about as good a year as anybody in baseball," Showalter said. "We beat one of the best pitchers in the American League last night. There'll be another good team coming in behind them. That's why they call it the big leagues. It's relentless."
The Orioles only run came after the second bases-clearing, bullpen-emptying altercation of the series.
Relief pitcher Fernando Abad threw inside to third baseman Manny Machado twice in a row with two outs in the eighth. Machado got out of the way both times, but after the second pitch he flung his bat just beyond third base. Both players were ejected.
"It was obvious the pitcher threw at him the second time," crew chief Larry Vanover said. "The first time you have some doubt, but the second time there was no doubt he threw at him. And then he threw the bat. That wasn't accidental."
Jimenez's day started fine for Baltimore, but the signs that he wasn't at his best were visible even in the opening frame. The righty walked the second batter he faced before inducing a double play from Josh Donaldson to get out of the first unscathed.
After a 1-2-3 second, the wheels fell off. He put the first three runners on in the third before Jaso lifted a ball off the wall in right-center. One umpire signaled that the ball was in play. Vanover waved his arm to signal home run. Either way, Jimenez was in trouble.
"I started so good the first couple innings and then that inning I lost the ability to throw a strike," Jimenez said. "It's one of those days. It's a really tough game."
After a review by Vanover, Jaso was awarded a double and Moss broke open the game with his actual grand slam three batters later.
Both relief pitchers the O's turned to, Brad Brach and T.J. McFarland, allowed at least one more run and Brach walked five batters of his own in two innings.
"A lot of times we'll have success based on the fact we take a lot of pitches and we make you work, and then somebody squares one up," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said. "When we're doing things correctly, that's how we attack pitchers who are a little bit wild."
Jimenez's latest poor outing was perhaps the worst in a season full of them. He was pulled after just 2 1/3 innings after allowing six earned runs and matching a season high with five walks.
Jimenez had been better of late -- he went at least 5 2/3 innings with one earned run in each of his last two starts -- but after Sunday, his ERA is up to 5.01.
"It's been difficult because I haven't been consistent at all," Jimenez said. "I had a couple good games and then had a bad one. I haven't been consistent at all. That's something you want as a starter."

I got some more Info of Isshin Kurosaki
"father Isshin was once a captain of the Gotei 13 (though, Isshin himself might've requested it, but it's unclear)"

For the time; It was a century before the start of the main story and another century when Gotei 13 was formed. Turn back the pedulum: Chapter 108 - page 13. If he was royalty, I doubt he would be wearing the captain's design cloak. He could've been a commander-general before Yama-jii. We won't know until he makes his appearance amongst the Gotei 13; what is left of them.

Crazy Idea, I belive Isshin was formorly the Fourth Squad Captian. It makes perfect sence to me. Fourth Squad is the Medical Core and in the Human World he is a doctor, and runs a family clinic out of their home.
As for Ichigo he is the son of a Captin Class Sinigami thus he is pretty powerfull to start off with. He became a Vizard the moment he regained his shinigami powers because he did not find Zangetsu untill the final desilution of his chain if fate. Hence why he emerged from the hole in the ground hloding both his Soul Slayer and wearing his hollow's mask. The signature mark of the Vizard. The Vizard who Train Ichigo were all Captian and Vice Captian class Shinigami. The girl with the blond pig tails was actually Uahara's (i know i cant spell) vice captin and shingi the kinda of unofficial leader of the vizard was Aizen's Captin Kinda Ironic huh. He and the other vizard were able to obtain Aizen's obcession 100 years before the main story line. It may have even been what originated it.

The former Medical Corps Captains of the Fourth Squard is pretty good guess; however, they are still doubts about it.

As for Isshin Kurosaki, it's still possible that he was a captain at some point. Either before or shortly after the vizards were exiled. As while the older shinigami don't recognize the name Kurosaki, if Yama-jii were to see Isshin, there is no doubt in my mind he would recognize him if he was a member of the Gotei 13 at any point within the last 2000 years. I'm still inclined to believe that he left SS and changed his name so as nobody would recognize it.

Maybe he is a member of the SMC's who was stationed on earth. As a sort of watcher...
I don't think "Kurosaki" is his real last name. No one recognizes it. He may have met Urahara after the events of the Pen. Arc. Either that or nobility. I was watching the Ichi vs Bya fight and that line he says about Ichigo not being nobility got me to thinking that.
Either way I think he met Urahara after the Vizards were banished from SS.

hes a doctor yes, but the captain of the 4th squad, unohana, has been around longest along with yamamoto, ukitake + shunsui. Maybe its possible he was in the fourth squad, but i dont think he'd be the captain.

Well, when I first saw Isshin as a Shinigami I thought that he was the Captain of the 10th Squad. I mean, Toshiro is the youngest Captain and the manga said he lost his powers for twenty years. I think that was ample time for Toshiro to take Isshin's place as Captain. Also, it never said in the manga if any other Shinigami knew Isshin or not.
I don't think he was royalty or anything like that. Maybe he wasn't mentioned in the Pendulum Arc because he wasn't a significant member of the Gotei 13 yet, where he could have possibly been in the 4th Squad, or maybe wasn't even in the Gotei 13 yet. The Pendulum Arc was set 100 years before the main story line, Byakuya was still a kid, so it's possible that he was still just a noob in the Gotei 13 and just wasn't important enough to mention.

I think Isshin was in zero division as well, after all it was a secret that even aizen had trouble finding out about, and he got kicked after the promotion of the 12th squad captain at that time.

Um, no hitsugaia wasn't even in the acadamy untill about 49-45 years ago. We have no clue who the captain was between 100 years and when he took over. Although the fact that Rukia doesn't reconize Isshin somewhat puts a stop the likelyhood that it was Isshin since as both the sister of a captain and a member of one of the noble houses you would expect her to at least know thecurrent captains on sight.

Perhaps, it's his own style of wearing his cloak. I hope they will give some more information about Isshin at least a little.

Spoiler for upcomeing anime arc:
He also can't have been a high ranking Shinigami later then 50 years ago as Rukia should know who he was in that case.
There is a small chance he was a captain between 90 and 50 years ago I find it unlikely as Urahara seems to treat him as a better most likely placeing him as his elder.

Urahara always treat people with respect; even with Arrancar, but I think he was getting kind of annoyed with Yami.
But Urahara does treat Isshin more like senpai than anything. <-- the way it felt when he was talking with him ( to me, anyways.)

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (UK - BD)
Marcus watches Die Hard 5 and thinks John McClane might be past it now...
Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a Mall Cop, he's in love with Amy (Jayma Mays) on the hair piece stall, he's got hypoglycemia (which causes him to fall asleep if away from sugar too much) and he's a comfort eater. Then his mall gets taken over by a group of skaters, skateboarders, free runners and a computer whizz (you know the worst kind of criminals) and it's up to Paul alone to step in and stop them. Yippee ki-ay motherfucker!
I wanted to won over by Paul Blart Mall Cop, I really did. I was hoping it would be a bit of a curveball and not ending up being exactly like the trailers hinted at. I was hoping it would be like Grandma's Boy (also produced by Sandler) and wind up being a whole lot of fun despite a tedious start. Sadly I was wrong. Paul Blart ends up being exactly what the trailers hinted at and probably worse than I expected.
Basically, this ain't funny. It wants to be and I'm sure a lot of people have a lot of fun with it, but for me this didn't even raise much beyond the odd smirk. The movie essentially comes down to shenanigans on a segway (that the director unfortunately never gets bored of showing off), ramming Blart's delusional outlook down our throats and relying on the physical humour of an overweight security guard. Also it sticks religiously to the rule of having Blart, his family and his love interest Amy, the only nice characters and surrounding them, with a bunch of unlikable assholes just to force you to feel some affection for the 'good guys'.
With the second half of the movie leaving the first half's mushy stuff behind and opting for a comedy (barely) take on Die Hard, Blart steps up as the lo-fi John Mclane, and if you thought it was unfunny before it gets even less so when the 'action' arrives. Even the usually funny hardcore action shot placed in for comic effect barely works and I just couldn't let myself go with it all enough to get involved with the heist's fallout. Seriously, if I see that Blart failed slide again (the one that the trailers so adore showing us), I might just vow never to watch another Kevin James movie (after this and Hitch it's a close run thing anyway).
It's one thing to believe that Paul Blart was such a huge hit in the US earlier in the year, but the fact this came out around the same time as Seth Rogan's Observe and Report and Observe and Report barely lasted a week at the cinemas is mental. Admittedly Observe and Report isn't exactly perfect, but in comparison to Paul Blart's lazy, undercooked, fat people make things funnier approach, it's a masterpiece.
Clean, bright, occasionally colourful and quite un-extraordinary. This, like the recent Zohan Blu-ray, is what I'd consider the sort of title that Sony use to show off their format in a showroom. It's obviously way better than DVD can provide and it ticks all the HD boxes in regards to visuals, but on closer inspection there's just not enough going on beyond the clean image.
Skin textures are hinted at but never really on show beyond close ups and beyond a few areas in the mall, including a very impressive looking ball pool, details are a little lacking too. It's a fine transfer, another solid one in the Sony catalogue, but essentially this is a brightly lit, fairly cheap comedy and it's really nothing to get excited about in the visual department.
Once again this is a solid track with very little going on to truly impress. It's balanced well, with music and dialogue sitting snugly together but there's no real depth to it. No sense of the Malls shoppers, or the bars drinkers, there's almost nothing dynamic going on and you're certainly never going to have any moments where the bass gets a too punchy. Admittedly, this comes down to the genres limitations and I wasn't expecting much more so all in all Paul Blart does its job well.
With the segway gags continuing, we get a little animated Blart rolling to selections (it's still not funny). So rolling to the commentary first—which is with Kevin James and producer Todd Garner—we are given a track that is loaded with stories and opinions on every member of the cast, every element of set and every visual gag that's on offer. It's an upbeat commentary and fairly consistent and compliments the movie well.
Hitting the featurettes (45:28 HD), which are split down into ten selections, we're given a lot of quite typical extras for this sort of comedy. Showing the fun on set, getting a bit of insight into the free runners and sports junkies and all filled out nicely with lots of clips from the movie.
There's ten deleted scenes (12:30 HD) all of which are more of the same and are mainly cut for time or their repetitive nature. The disc also comes loaded with BD Live and Cinechat (lots to talk about amongst Paul Blart fans?) and lastly there's a trailer for Open Season 2.
Sony provide yet another solid Blu-ray release that does its job without being all that exciting. Fans should enjoy the features, especially the commentary, even if the majority of the rest is a little typical of the genre.
Paul Blart Mall Cop is a sweet enough experience but unfortunately I just didn't find it funny... at all. This sort of thing just feels so tired and obvious to me and with a lead character that just feels like Kevin James is acting goofy rather than naturally being goofy. Overall, I can sort of see why viewers might like this goofy little outing but I just couldn't buy into the movies undercooked nonsense enough to care about what was going on.

Maybe I'm slightly biased due to the local connection (the mall scenes were filmed between two malls in my area) but I thought it wasn't that bad. Not the best movie, but I've definitely seen worse.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 10 (UPI) -- A $2.8 million order from the U.S. Army for X- and Ku-Band MICRO VSAT satellite communications equipment has been given to TeleCommunication Systems Inc.
"In order to conduct modern operations, our military needs secure and reliable satellite communications," said Michael Bristol, senior vice president and general manager of government solutions at TCS. "MICRO VSAT and baseband equipment meets this need while providing warfighters with the flexibility built into the smallest, lightest man-portable SATCOM terminal available today."
TeleCommunications Systems didn't disclose the number of units it will provide the Army. Neither did it indicate a delivery schedule or other details of the contract.
The contract was given by the U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network - Tactical Commercial Satellite Terminal Program. Funding for the buy comes from the service's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems contract vehicle.
TeleCommunications Systems has headquarters in Maryland and supplies secure mobile communication technology.

The Village of Arlington Heights, Illinois
Located just 25 miles from downtown Chicago in the northwest suburbs, the village of Arlington Heights has a lot to offer. With a population of nearly 77,000 residents, this area boasts its big city amenities, but with small town charm. For many years I have worked in Arlington Heights as a REALTOR and have seen the town go through a lot of changes. Because of its great schools and prime downtown location, Arlington Heights has been a favorite for home builders for the past decade. As a result, you can find a beautiful brand new home next to a charming hundred year old one. The downtown area along the northwest railroad line has been built up by developers over the years to resemble a piece of the city life. The high rise condo buildings allow residents to walk to everything they may desire. Hop on the train and ride into Chicago for an evening out on the town, or stay in Arlington Heights for your evening out on the town. From stores and theaters to pubs and restaurants, downtown Arlington Heights is envied and emulated by its neighboring communities.

We've got something fantastic for you here. If you are a fan of the movie Super Troopers, then this is a must-watch video. And if you aren't, you should probably drop what you are doing and go watch that movie pronto! Yeah, it might be 11 years old, but it ages like fine wine.
Atlanta Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud is obviously a fan of the movie as you can see for yourself in the video below. Watch as he plays the "Meow Game" during a four minute interview on SportsCenter. Check out the effort he puts into this…
Bravo Thomas DeCoud, bravo. A job well done. I love the "Meow!" that he ends on, as well. Very definitive. By my tally, I counted 10 meows, although it's a bit hard to tell with the audio. With everything going viral these days, athletes trying to top each other in the "Meow Game" would be the meme of the year by far.
