Pat Terry is back for another season in a Bronco uniform. The versatile veteran has started games behind the plate, at designated hitter, and in the outfield during his career on the Mission campus. In his final season as a member of the Bronco baseball team, Terry is looking to enjoy every moment while helping the 2011 Bronco team attain goals of post-season play. Pat Terry (PT) recently sat down with SantaClaraBroncos.com (SCB) to talk about the upcoming 2011 baseball season.
SCB: How does it feel to be able to be back for another season in a Bronco uniform?
PT: There is no better feeling than putting on a baseball uniform. That being said, if feels great to get the opportunity to play another year. I'd do it forever if I could.
SCB: Now that you're a senior, what advice do you have to give to all your younger teammates?
PT: It goes by so fast, not to take anything for granted. Leave everything out there every day, be it practice, the weight-room or the games. Too soon you're looking back and it's over, but you're dying for just one more rep.
SCB: Now that you're a senior, how do you foresee yourself being a leader on this year's squad?
PT: I try not to think that age has too much to do with being a leader. Experience is valuable, but attitude is everything, and you can have that as a freshman.
SCB: What are your goals for this upcoming season?
PT: My goals for the upcoming season are to fulfill whatever roll I earn, both offensively and defensively. I want the team to win; I want the guys to experience what it's like to be WCC champions, or to play in a regional. So, my goals are to do anything I possibly can to bring that goal a little closer to Santa Clara.
SCB: What are you doing to meet those goals?
PT: I've been injured lately, so my ability to do anything has been impeded by that. However, I'll be healthy in a few weeks, whereupon I plan on making the field and cages home until the season.
SCB: What has been your main focus in fall practice?
PT: To focus on our immediate goal, and that is to get better on the very next rep of whatever it is you are doing. Essentially, just staying in the moment.
SCB: What opponent if any, are you most looking forward to this upcoming season?
PT: I haven't looked closely at our schedule yet. I do know that we open at South Carolina against the defending champs, which is going to be pretty special. To get the opportunity to compete against a team like that, in environment such as theirs is what this game is all about.
SCB: How has your time at Santa Clara changed your game?
PT: Santa Clara has expanded my baseball knowledge exponentially. Obviously my skills have been shaped dramatically since I've gotten here, but more importantly my fundamental understanding of the game and how to play it has been finely tuned. People don't realize that the game is so much more than hit and catch. There are so many intimate details about the game that you learn over time, which is what Santa Clara has exposed me to.
SCB: What's made this fall season different than any others?
PT: Work ethic. We set the tone early that it was going to be tough, and it was. We conditioned the hardest we have ever conditioned. Our team is physically and mentally tougher because of it. Consequently, the discipline and the focus this fall has been better this year than in the past. Everyone knows that we aren't messing around this year, and that has really changed the atmosphere.
SCB: Which teammate would you say you're closest to?
PT: A lot of us are really close friends. But I spend most of my time with Curtis "Dirt" Wagner. Although, after spending two summer with Corey Hall, living with him in a basement for one of them, I'm pretty close with him as well.

R&B star-turned-celebrity chef Kelis is set to realize her restaurant dreams by opening her own eatery in Los Angeles later this year (17).
The Milkshake hitmaker, a graduate from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, has taken a step back from music in recent years and emerged as a top chef, releasing her own cookbook, My Life On A Plate, in 2014.
She got a taste of running her own restaurant last year (16), when she teamed up with executives at London diner Le Bun to create the pop-up burger bar KELISxLEBUN, which opened at the British capital's Leicester House before hitting the nearby Standon Calling festival, which she also headlined.
Now the ex-wife of rapper Nas is taking her food adventure to Los Angeles, where she is planning to launch a restaurant in the coming months, three years after she initially expressed her desire to serve up tasty recipes in her own establishment.
"I love working with my hands and getting to create something," Kelis tells The Associated Press of her new passion. "It's very different than music... you can't really control what you hear. They (members of the public) have to hear it, whereas food is a choice."
Kelis, who already has her own line of condiments, will be hoping her restaurant becomes a big hit as she previously had to put her desire to become a full-time chef on the backburner after realizing she wouldn't make enough money to support her family without her music earnings.
"Everything turned upside down and I didn't know how to support myself through food yet, so I had to go back to what I knew, which was music," she told The Guardian last year (16) of her career rethink in the early stages of her culinary journey. "And it was kind of heartbreaking - I couldn't even bear to watch any cooking shows."
Kelis shares seven-year-old son Knight with Nas, and welcomed her second boy, Sheperd, in December, 2015, months after secretly tying the knot with the kid's father, real estate agent Mike Mora.

An enduring legacy
One of the exciting potentials of cohort studies is that the collected data can be used by other researchers to address questions that are important to their areas of interest—for years to come.
"Junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and senior investigators are using our resources in other studies—genetics, nutrition," notes Vanderbilt's Wei Zheng, M.D., Ph.D., MPH, who directs the Shanghai Women's Health Study. "So the cohort studies create opportunities for other research."
Harvard's Walter Willett, M.D., MPH, Dr.P.H., who launched the second Nurses' Health Study in 1989, echoes that sentiment. "We started mostly with a focus on cancer and heart disease, but now we're looking at virtually every major condition, including psychological effects, kidney stones you name it."
For example, the study has found that a diet high in sugar-sweetened and diet soft drinks, refined grains and processed meat can raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes; and that obesity and weight gain increase the risk of kidney stone formation.
Emily Beauregard sees the potential for a psychological study based on a trend she's noticed while enrolling people into the Southern Community Cohort Study at the Family Health Center's Portland Clinic in Louisville, Ky.
"Most of our patients' (annual) household income is less than $15,000," she says. Many "have been diagnosed with depression ... Education, housing, emotional health—everything plays into your well-being."

"When making passion into a profession, you can loose the feeling of freedom/spontaneity in your work at times. So, in order to keep the fires burning, we try to work on projects that we care about." – CBloxx of Nomad Clan.
As we enter the month of November, we are reminded of the global movement "Movember" that started off in 2003, to raise awareness of men's health. (Isn't it ironic that people shave their hair in support for cancer, but grow 'manly' moustache to show support to raise funds for gendered cancer?) But I digress.
To celebrate the start of a 'gendered' month, Stickerbomb spoke to fantastic female street artist duo, Nomad Clan (@nomad.clan) from Manchester, UK. But hold on – before you close this page, this article isn't going to be a "female in street art"-kinda feminist cliche that we've heard countless times.
With the Nomad Clan, they caught our attention with their diverse interests and concerns they champion. Each work stays so true to their personalities that it emanates in their works – be it an LGBT wall, charity project or a beer brewery collaboration. Other than the very fact that they share the experience of females working in a male-dominated scene, Nomad Clan's projects provide an alternative perspective on graffiti/street artists. Check out what they have to say about making their work meaningful, while also keeping their passion alive.
Ey up! I think we are a right mash up made of both our respective styles that somehow has become a very particular style in itself! Sometimes our Nomad Clan murals look like giant folklore book illustrations – there is a definite playfulness to what we do which is very much from Aylo's ball park, but then its balanced out by my melancholy/dark sides too.
We enjoy painting giant murals the most, our largest so far is 7 stories high but we have a few scheduled in for next year that are even bigger, excitement and pant-shitting in equal measures!
Hahaha, there's a pun! I think recently things have progressed rapidly, although women have always been active in graffiti right from the beginning. Maybe its the anonymity of graffiti that has additionally prevented them from being heard of. Having said that there has always been a gender imbalance, it was primarily a male dominated scene and to some degree still is – lets say for example for every 4 globally recognised 'names' there maybe only one recognised female at the top of her game.
Personally I think street art has warped and changed the scene, graffiti and street art are definitely two separate art forms – one born from the other, but within the mutation of street art there is an evolution of mass popularity which is causing all kinds of people to get on board. Its reaching young creatives that may never have stumbled into graff or street art for that matter, some who now see it as a 'career choice', Kudos or a way to gain more 'likes' on social media – I just sicked in my mouth a bit! In my opinion graffiti & street art were subcultures that attracted misfits, anarchists, addicts, general nut jobs and people who just wanted to f**k stuff up!
Without sounding too negative, I feel it has lead to over saturation, lazy regurgitation, homogenization (street art 'norms'). HOWEVER, some of the positives include seeing a rise in women taking part and gaining more visibility!
We have spent over 8 years painting and living a life full of it (Aylo owned a graffiti supplies shop for 5 years) at some point along the way it became the centre of everything, its all either of us wanted to do… but we needed food and bill money too. When making passion into a profession, you can easily loose the feeling of freedom/spontaneity in your work at times. So in order to keep the fires burning, we try to work on projects that we care about.
I think as artists with an audience we have a level of responsibility to raise awareness, communicate and reach out as often as possible. If people can connect with your art and it evokes a feeling then it is the perfect starting point for conversations around subjects, whether it be about world issues or personal experiences.
Before I took the plunge and went full time 'artist' I volunteered as a youth worker, got trained up by the service and found myself, working in various council estates with disaffected young people for 5 years. Most of the kids and families had never left the estate, so often we had to think on our feet of activities we could do to engage and inform the young people. Creativity was the strongest tool we had, I learned a lot from that… some of the kids that were hardest to reach would show up at the centre for a full 2 hours to paint a mural using my dreg cans when they could have been taking drugs and nicking stuff… they probably did that afterwards but that's not the point.
There are so many and we need to collaborate more! Etam Cru, because they are truly genius and we love their work. We would also love to work with Pichi&Avo (@pichiavo) who we had the pleasure of meeting at Cities of Hope, really down to earth guys that have exploded (and rightfully so) and are travelling everywhere to paint, it would be interesting to see how other duo's work together!
We are working closely with one of our sponsors, Northern Monk Brewery for their patrons project's which bring together various creatives and independent companies to produce limited runs of craft beer. We have just released a print of our latest collab with them and Against the Grain (Louisiana!). It is a 10% Imperial whisky smoked honey porter called 'Smokin Bee's'! You can find the can in any good craft beer/real ale joint across Europe which is very exciting and we LOVE beer! We are working on another exciting one with Northern Monk & ATG at the moment but its a secret right now!
We have just done an interesting project with Journeys Festival who celebrate and highlight the extraordinary and powerful artwork, music, creativity, culture and experiences that refugee artists bring to the UK. We painted a large landscapes of the Calais 'Jungle' refugee camp on a shipping container that was placed in the shopping district of Manchester. The artwork reflected the camp after half of it was bulldozed earlier this year – a stark contrast to the bustling consumerism in the city. We are in talks with Journeys Fest with a view to working with them on another project next year.
There are a few big walls in the pipeline, one has just been confirmed for Leeds, UK in the next month, the others are on hold for next year in better weather. We are set to be working with Urban Forms in Poland which will be a dream come true as well as a bunch of festivals abroad, we are hoping to travel more!
'Mokosz' Available to you at the link in our bio! on site now! Our Poland trip to paint a mural for @urban_forms has been postponed till next year, bummed out! But this beauty has got a better spot at the main event so we are still winning ? #nomadclan #cbloxx #urbanforms #muralsdaily #spraydaily #grafflife #urbanart #urbanartistry #urbanartist #eggs? #streetartdaily #muralsdaily #linedrawing #sketchy #sketchstagram #streetarteverywhere #grafflife #illuatration #weirdtales #mokosh #polishfolklore #rsa_graffiti #rsa_graffiti_murals #widewalls #globalstreetart #instasketching #instaartist #instastreetart #instaart #streetartists #illustrateyourworld #drawdaily

MFS student, Edward Faison was awarded Harvard University's Bowdoin Prize for Graduate Essays in the Natural Sciences for 2005-2006, an annual prize given for a paper of literary merit on any subject in the natural sciences. His essay, entitled "Extraordinary Accounts of the Common Ragweed," discusses ragweed pollen's unique role as an indicator of major environmental shifts in the New England landscape during the past 10,000 years.
In a recently released book, Harvard Forest researcher Robert McDonald co-authored a chapter on the causes and consequences of land-use change in the North Carolina Piedmont with D.L. Urban, E.S. Minor, and E.A. Treml. The project integrated studies of forest dynamics, conservation value (forest songbird communities), and ecosystem processes (watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry). As part of this modeling effort, they estimated the uncertainties due to errors in imagery and ground data, model selection, parameter estimation, and process error.
NSF and NEONInc have released two reports and indicated that an RFP for a prospectus from each NEON Domain (region) will be coming out in 2-3 months, with the prospectus due in 6-9 months. Consequently, we are organizing a meeting for all individuals interested in the Northeast NEON effort.
The re-release of Forest in Time (FIT) in paperback coincides with the review of FIT in The Agricultural History Review by Graeme Wynn of the University of British Columbia. He wrote:
The seventeeth annual symposium will be held Wednesday April 12, 2006 9:00am. A series of talks highlighting new research and cooperative carbon dynamics work.
We used a segmentation analysis which indicates a significant heterogeneity of private woodland owner attitudes in Massachusetts. We estimate roughly 67% of private woodland owners place highest priority on contemplative enjoyment and privacy provided by their properties. These "Henry David Thoreau" type owners are not necessarily opposed to management or utilization of wood from their land, but these activities are of a lesser priority compared to "Walden-like" qualities or benefits. We estimate roughly 23% of the woodland owner population share characteristics with John Muir.

Experience Counts
IBW's rich history has provided staff with real world training, nothing can replace experience.
Projects for the installation of new utilities generally have the construction drawings prepared by a technical company. A technical company which likely has no boundary expertise or qualifications to determine boundaries.
These companies generally seem to use purchased parcel mapping to display the "boundaries". Often the locations of the new underground utilities are calculated relative to these "boundaries".
IBW pre-calculates utility layout based on the technical drawings, the calculations almost always require boundary expertise to make sure that the minimum property line setbacks can be met, or at the very least to ensure that the installed utilities do not end up on private property, resulting in very significant costs and scheduling delays down the road.

Pregalactic enrichment models for the diffuse intergalactic medium predict that at low cosmological overdensities the intergalactic gas at high redshift should be very poor in heavy elements. This is a simple consequence of the star formation and gas return mechanisms being preferentially located in the higher overdensity regions of the cosmological fluid. We present a new method of analyzing carbon and oxygen absorption lines in quasar spectra that allows us to probe the heavy element abundances at a redshift of three to much lower intergalactic densities than has been previously attempted. We find that the ratio of triply ionized carbon to neutral hydrogen (C IV/H I) remains roughly constant over a wide range of overdensities and that even as the overdensity approaches zero the ratio remains high. The results suggest that the intergalactic gas is more uniformly enriched in heavy elements than has been thought.

The Mars rover and mobile laboratory Curiosity touched down on the surface of the Red Planet early Monday morning, and already it's being derided as a huge waste of resources. With a $2.6 billion price tag, that's to be expected. But there's a larger point that a lot of the detractors may be missing, and that's the significance of this particular mission to space exploration, and to the quest for human knowledge.
That might sound pretty grandiose, but Peter Diamandis is arguing that as humans – as thinking, reasoning beings – we have a moral imperative to explore. It's not just that we have curiosity, it's that we are morally obligated to have Curiosity.
Diamandis makes three basic points as part of his argument: that space holds resources that could be used to benefit us Earthlings and wipe out inequity, that space exploration allows us to "back up the biosphere" by leaving a footprint somewhere else in case we're all eventually blown to bits, and that as humans we are genetically encoded to explore.
I'm not so sure that has me convinced. There are lots of starving children in Africa who don't have the desire to explore anything except their next meal, and for whom that $2.6 billion is far more than the resources that they need. What does that say about moral imperatives? Call me crazy, but things seem more imperative when they're closer to home, and when the basis of comparison is Mars anything here on Earth would qualify.
Still, I don't think Diamandis is completely off base about having an imperative to explore outer space; maybe it's just not a moral one. I think it's by essence of our humanity that we feel the urge to find out what's out there, and denying our own humanity is dishonest and counter-productive. We gotta be us.
Ultimately, the human exploration of space is probably a search for meaning. I'm not sure we're going to find much meaning for Mankind out there among the sand and mountains of Mars, but it's a pretty cool ride nonetheless. The fact that the pictures that Curiosity has sent back so far look more like the landscape of the Mojave Desert than the surface of a rock 150,000,000 miles away is sort of reassuring. It makes the Galaxy feel small, and that makes things that seemed impossible feel achievable.

Apply makeup does not need to be difficult. In order to maintain the most beautiful appearance, however, it is important to know what you are doing when it comes to makeup. Below are the best 15 makeup tips that you should know about.
Best 15 Makeup Tips
1. Don't feel as though you need to be a fashion slave. Following the current makeup trends may be okay, but if you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to be an individual.
2. Opt for natural shades of makeup whenever you possibly can. Wearing vibrant or bright colors is not a bad thing, but it is also okay to be yourself.
3. Sometimes, having fuller eyebrows looks the best. It is best to make sure that you are not going overly thin with them.
4. Never be afraid to experiment with different shades of makeup to find out what looks the best on you. Something that you may be afraid to try out could be what will compliment you the most.
5. Always be sure to blend your concealer in well or you are going to appear as though you have a face mask on.
6. You may want to consider using brown or gray eyeliner. Black does not always appear very natural and can actually bring a lot of attention away from your eyes.
7. Make sure that you have a regular skin care routine that you use if you want to have the most beautiful skin. This includes cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. If you neglect these three steps, your skin may experience certain problems, such as acne, dryness or excessive oil.
8. When choosing concealer, make sure that you opt for the shade that is closest to your own skin color. Shades that are too light or too dark are likely to stand out.
9. Make sure that you get rid of your makeup after a certain amount of time or it will begin to develop bacteria. It is important to make sure that you keep track of when you purchase your makeup. Mascara, eyeliner and eye shadow should not be kept any longer than six months. Other types of makeup should be thrown away after one year.
10. Apply your eyeliner first, your eye shadow second and your mascara last. This will help prevent your mascara from streaking.
11. Do not choose a blush that is too red. It is always best to opt for a lighter peach or pink shade for the most natural look.
12. It is always best to avoid matching your lipstick color to your eye shadow color. It is likely to take away attention from your face and focus more attention on your matching makeup colors.
13. Although matching your makeup to your clothing may seem like a good idea, sometimes it is best to choose colors that compliment you best.
14. Learn what shades of eye shadow make your eye color stand out the most. For blue eyes, try whites and browns. For green eyes, try grays and purples. For brown eyes, try blues and blacks. It really does depend on your own eye color, however, so it is best to experiment.
15. Always be sure to remove makeup before you go to bed at night.

Worst Marvel Superhero MoviesBKAllmighty Not everything Marvel has made is good. With recent failures like 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' and 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance', we must realize that the golden idol that is Marvel can, amazingly, fail just like everyone else. Here are the top ten worst superhero movies made from Marvel Comics.
The Top Ten
Why is spider man 3 on here
Nicki Minaj will probably be the villain in the sequel
Howard the retard - ikerevievs
Where the hell is X Men New Mutants?V 3 Comments
How is this movie 17? This movie should be number 1. The plot was horrible, too many miscast, and terrible acting. This movie was considered to be worse than Cat woman. Only got 9%.
Was there ever a good fantastic 4 movie
Why did the main antagonist strike at the last 20 minutes of the movie?
Fant4stic more like Fantastic TrashV 4 Comments
It's definitely not THE worst, at least it's visually pleasing
How is this the worst on a list with howard the frikken duck and fantastic 4 on it?
Deserve the one position, very boring and only two scenes of action for... 5 minutes? The other parts of the movie are fueled of peter x gwen moments
Worst superhero movie of all times - Ale9991
I am sorry to hear than you hate Spider-Man.
This movie was really good (don't care what people say I'll alwas love this movie) - NELproduction500V 2 Comments
Ghost rider chases the devil in a getaway car to save the 8 year old antichrist who wants Nicholas Cage to be his father figure. Does anymore need to be said?
I have it
What happens is that this was very violent without reason
Shrek becomes a superhero! And it made me sulk
I felt sick while watching it, the visuals make me throw up
It was funny and lost the touch of violence
Deadpool got ruined because he looked like I felt sorry for him. If the creators decided to make Deadpool look traditional, Wolverine and Deadpool would have worked together instead of turning against each other.
Ruined deadpool for me.
The Newcomers
This movie is good and bad the bad part is they kill everyone the good part is that they defeated the villain yaayayayaya its not a bad movie it earned 5 stars yeayayaaya.
The Contenders
Hey, the X -Men are bad only the best is The Wolverine
Here's the main reason it sucks, it's so emotionally clustered, it will literally go from someone getting brutally murdered in a really serious dramatic scene, to a bunch of guys dancing around an apartment with Opera music playing in the background. And when you make John Travolta the main villain do you really expect me to take him seriously? This movie just needs to pick a tone and stick with it
This movie is not that bad, just absurd scenes and best has parts made in Puerto Rico
I hate this movie. - batmangf
Oh shut up, this movie was epic
Dull and forgettable music is the norm for Marvel films. Characters are too perfect and unrelatable with no flaws whatsoever. The writing can be absolutely cringeworthy at times and the numerous plot holes are to be expected when the director's sole purpose is just to pack in as much battle scenes as possible. It starts off whenever it wants, and has forced subplots with the government. Is this a superhero movie or a history lecture!
The only part I liked was the airport scene.
I loved Civil War!V 2 Comments
WHY IS THIS EVEN ON HERE? It was awesome! Even Venom was awesome. - Fury2
I enjoy this movie but agree that its terrible. Harry was handled okay, sandman and Venom was cool, but not as evolved as they could have been. They should have made it a two parter, in the first sandman is the villain and in the ending of that one harry attack peter. In the second one venom and harry is the villain, let harry sacrify himself was a good idea. No emo dancing!
Nah this movie was misunderstood. This movie was ok but not as good as spiderman 1 and 2. But hey at least it's better than amazing spiderman 1 and 2.
Come on! This movie is awesome!V 1 Comment
Nah this movie was pretty good
EFF everyone who says this needs to be off the list
bad - Ale9991
Mandarin is bad
Agreed this film was garbage.
Epic Fail!
Why does Civil War get all the hate? Age Of Ultron deserves all the hate it gets! At least, Civil War was good!
Boring and awful
Unpopular Opinion: I enjoyed this movie
This film wasn't bad it was just meh I love chris and toms performances but I prefer ragnarok and the first one
Peter must grow up sometimes and learn bravery
It was way too childish
The 1990 movie sucks, I am not talking about the modern ones...
I like this movie so much, Howturd the Crap is worse

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
In this study, some of fundamental properties of a commercially available irradiance meter have been investigated for measurement of ultraviolet radiations(UVR) in the natural environment, and a higher sensitive UVR spectrometer have been constructed and applied to environmental measurements for getting information on radiological protection against UVR. Radiological quantities for effective dose by UVR have also been estimated to treat UVR exposure as one of radiation exposures to be protected.From these investigations, conclusions as follows ;1. It was possible to know variation properties of solar UVR by using the irradiance meter, but it became evident that improvement of sensor sensitivity was needed for detection of directional variation of UVR in the natural environment and that the higher sensitive multi-sensor spectrometer using photodiodes and optical filters would be useful for determination of physical quantities for radiation protection.2. It was shown that UVR irradiance in the natural environment varies according to a height of the sun and a local meteorological condition and that UVR in working area around the linac facility was not increased by linac operation and was caused by lighting equipments of the facility.3. Though radiological quantities, such as absorbed doses and radiation weighting factors could tentatively be evaluated here on the basis of information is some literatures, it was possible that these quantities would minutely be determined by future investigations on UVR absorption by Japanese human tissue and relative biological effectiveness of UVR.

Looking for apartments in Keller, TX?
In 2009, Keller, Texas, placed 7th in Money magazine's list of "Best Places to Live: Top 100" ranking of small U.S. towns (August issue, page 70). The list ranked small towns according to the strength of their economies, home values, public schools, unemployment rates, crime rates, and quality of life, among others. Keller was the only Texas city in the top 10.
Keller holds another distinction. In 2004, it became the "first fully fiber-optic city" in the area when Verizon Communications wired the entire city with FiOS TV, Internet, and phone capability. According to Verizon, it was their "first effort at reaching homes and businesses with fiber optics on such a scale."
Everything in Texas began with the railroad, and Keller was no exception. Located near Double Springs, Keller began when the Texas Pacific Railroad expanded north from Fort Worth. Keller was settled in the 1850s, and received its name thanks to a Texas Pacific Railroad official John C. Keller, a foreman on the railroad.
Keller is located in northeast Tarrant County, 15 miles from downtown Fort Worth and 25 miles from Dallas. The city encompasses an area of approximately 19 square miles. Keller is located close to major business and activity centers: US highway 377 (Main Street) is the main north-south artery through the city; FM 1709 (Keller Parkway) is the east-west artery. It's also within easy commuting distance of I-35W, loop I-820, SH-170 and 114.
The city has a parks and trails, a recreation and aquatics center, sports facilities, and a senior activities center. The Keller Public Library recently underwent a $4 million expansion. One of the library's key features, the giant word Story leading into the children's reading room, was recently featured in the prestigious Library Journal. The city offers a gallery walk, public arts show, fishing for fun, a daddy-daughter sweetheart ball, and family movie nights.
FedEx, Fidelity Investments and Sabre Holdings are some of the city's top employers. The population has increased by almost 30 percent since 2000 to just under 38,000 residents. Strong growth, as well as the advancing Alliance corridor, have helped fuel the city's success.
According to the city, Keller offers "a diverse housing market, from luxury senior living, multi-family apartments, patio homes and houses with acreage, provides something for nearly everyone."
Anyone searching for Keller apartments will be choosing one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas. There are more new apartments in Keller, TX than many other locations in the metroplex. The newest Keller apartments are on the north and west sides of the city, particularly along the I-35 corridor in west Keller. The Arthouse in Town Center lives up to its name, with wood floors, wood cabinets, and marble countertops. Or the Enclave on Golden Triangle with its rustic, European charm.
Apartments in Keller, Texas come in enough styles to satisfy every palate. The city boasts 10 different apartment communities offering 2,490 individual apartment homes for rent. The average rent for apartments in Keller, TX is $1,161.
Keller is probably most well-known for its superb school system. The first school in the Keller was the Mount Gilead Baptist Church, a "subscription school." Today, Keller ISD is one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas. According to kellerisd.net, "It boasts two National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, 32 TEA Exemplary and Recognized schools as well as the 2007 Texas State Secondary Teacher of the Year and the 2008 Texas State Elementary Teacher of the Year." Keller ISD has 38 campuses serving more than 33,000 students.

All stakeholders confident about future after DAS
GOA: The first day of the two-day Indian Digital Operators Summit (IDOS) 2012 concluded with stakeholders from different parts of the value chain wanting introduction of the digital addressable system (DAS) without any further delay and expressing confidence that consumers will accept better customised services possible in a digital environment.
The speakers were participating in a round-table held essentially to sum-up the proceedings of day one of IDOS organized by indiantelevision.com and Media Partners Asia in Goa.
DEN Networks CEO SN Sharma said more localised content and value-added services will drive the consumer to accept the new technology.
Videocon d2h CEO Anil Khera said both DAS and DTH could co-exist as there was enough space in a country as large as India for both of them. He said ARPUs (average revenue per user) will increase with an increase in content and variety.
Hathway MD and CEO K Jayaraman said it was a now or never situation or the country would be left behind in the digital race. He and Indiacast Media Distribution Group CEO Anuj Gandhi agreed ARPUs would increase with time, as there were enough customers for all kinds of networks in the country.
While Videocon d2h Deputy CEO Rohit Jain said DAS was a question of creating a road-map withy conviction, IBM Head of Media and Entertainment in India and South Asia Raman Kalra said there was a need for a change in the mindset, delivery enhancement, customer retention and increasing monetising options if DAS had to succeed. He said customer-centricity was a must. JAINHITS MD Ankur Jain agreed.
Exponentia Capital Principal Neeraj Bhatia said new TV channels would spring up and therefore, shareholders were ready to take up DAS.
Castle Media Director Vynsley Fernandes said infrastructure, content and technology will win the day for DAS, and people will pay if they get all these.

In 1984, Paul Simon faced a creative crossroads. His last album, 1983's Hearts and Bones, was a commercial disappointment, although it received some favorable reviews from publications like Rolling Stone.
In search of inspiration, Simon began listening to South African music, spurred on by a cassette called Gumboots: Accordion Jive Hits, Volume II. After immersing himself in more African music, he traveled to Johannesburg in early 1985 to simply jam with the groups he had heard: Tao Ea Matsekha, General M.D. Shrinda, and the Gaza Sisters. What happened in these sessions formed the basis of Graceland, the watershed 1986 work that not only revived Simon's career, but exposed South African music to a worldwide audience. Twenty-five years later, Simon has released a deluxe edition of his masterpiece, offering listeners a new perspective on a still-relevant album.
The CD/DVD set includes the remastered original album, bonus tracks such as alternate takes and demos, and a DVD containing the original videos for "You Can Call Me Al," "The Boy in the Bubble," and "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"; an incredible Saturday Night Live performance of the latter track from 1986; and a new documentary, Under African Skies, that explores the making of Graceland. The box set features more outtakes, live performances, a lavish book, and a replica of Simon's lyrics notepad. Both formats offer a unique opportunity to reassess just how important that one album was in the 80s, and how its impact continues today.
First, the remastered album further clarifies the intricate instrumentation of each track, and rightly spotlights a truly gifted artist: bassist Bahithi Kumalo. Just listen for his thrilling runs on "Diamonds" as well as "You Can Call Me Al" and the title track. His fingers fly across the frets at dizzying speeds, yet those notes function as the heartbeat of each song. The other stars, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, still stun with their beautifully blended vocals on "Homeless" and the beginning of "Diamonds." The Gaza Sisters' unusual style shines on "I Know What I Know," their "woops" adding a sense of joy to the track. All of these sounds are grounded by Simon's lyrics, which tell stories and sometimes inject humor into the proceedings. "She said there's something about you that really reminds me of money," Simon sings in a conversational tone. "She is the kind of a girl who could say things that weren't that funny." Describing someone using "money" and other superficial terms seems straight out of the 1980s.
"The Boy in the Bubble" contains some of Simon's snarkier lines such as "The bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio" and "It's a turn-around jump hot, it's everybody jump start — it's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts." Only he could make disturbing images sound somewhat dry. But the title track represents some of Simon's best work, as he improbably combines country, zydeco, and South African sounds into one wide-reaching tune. At first the lyrics seem out of place on this album, talking about the Mississippi Delta and strange stories of "a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampoline." Yet he convincingly makes the case that many music genres have their roots in African music; through his words and instrumentation, Simon leads the listener on a worldwide journey to show there are more commonalities than differences. After all, he sings, "I've reason to believe we will all be received in Graceland" — regardless of background.
Bonus tracks further examine Graceland's formation, particularly an astounding demo of "Diamonds" featuring only Simon and Kumalo. The ebullient, stripped-down demo for "You Can Call Me Al" illustrates how Simon integrated African sounds into a more mainstream pop confection that loses none of its authentic roots. In a recent interview, Simon deconstructs the creation of "Graceland," explaining how he composed the lyrics and requested that the Everly Brothers sing backup on the eclectic tune.
While the music videos charm, it's the documentary and the Saturday Night Live clip that stand out on the DVD. When Simon was booked to play Saturday Night Live, the album had not been released yet. So he and Ladysmith Black Mambazo gave the audience a sneak preview of the album by performing "Diamonds." In Under African Skies, Lorne Michaels admits that he was initially skeptical of this seemingly radical change in Simon's sound. Would a song partially sung in a different language bearing an unusual tempo translate for a mainstream American audience? Judging by Simon's broad grin and Ladysmith Black Mambazo's enthusiastic kicks and dance moves, the group radiated confidence that earned them all an extended standing ovation.
Today Graceland is widely considered one of the best albums ever made, but upon its 1986 release it generated controversy. In the wake of Apartheid, the UN had instituted a cultural ban against South Africa to protest this barbaric regime. While the South African black musicians' union voted to allow Simon to record there, Simon chose not to acquire permission from the African National Congress to violate the cultural embargo. In Under African Skies, director Joe Berlinger tackles this issue head-on by filming a conversation between Simon and South African politician (and Graceland critic) Dali Tambo; while the two agree to disagree, they end up embracing. A touching reunion between Simon and many of the original musicians — all parties still seem quite fond of each other– results in them performing the album tracks together for the first time in many years. Simon particularly hails Hugh Masekela and the late Miriam Makeba for championing the Graceland project; Makeba never performed on the album, but did appear on stops on the Graceland Tour to croon "Under African Skies" with Simon.
While the film recounts the making of Graceland and analyzes the accompanying controversy in a fascinating manner, Berlinger omits some interesting material. Why not interview the American musicians that also appeared on the album — Linda Ronstadt, Los Lobos, and top session guitarist Adrian Belew — and air their views of how playing African music differed in tempo and melody? That would have proven much more fascinating than hearing what Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey thought of the album. Exploring how the album influenced generations of artists would also establish its legacy; only Vampire Weekend is briefly interviewed as to this topic. Finally, Graceland opened the door for a number of world artists like Youssou D'Dour (who appears on Graceland), Johnny Clegg and Savuka, and, of course, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Yet this fact barely rates a mention.
Overall, the 25th anniversary edition of Graceland successfully argues why it remains a landmark in modern music history as well as one of the best albums of Simon's career. With the possible exception of "All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints," Graceland lacks any overtly '80s production, giving it a timeless feel. Apartheid no longer exists, and Simon's ambitious project may have served as an important force in that movement. Seeing the musicians and hearing their voices put a human face on the atrocities, hence promoting the anti-Apartheid cause throughout the world.
On a more basic level, Graceland exposed a mass audience to a kind of music rarely (if ever) heard, and showed how music can function as a culturally and politically uniting tool.

7 Day Weight Loss Pill Review
If you've ever used a diet pill before, you know that generally the only diet pills that seem to help you to lose "7 pounds in 7 days" use diuretics or some other dangerous ingredient known for side effects and weight rebound.
Are we being cynical? Absolutely. But then again, who isn't in this kind of market?
While we've all rightfully lost faith, there are diet pills coming out all the time that actually work. There are diet pills with clinically proven fat burners, appetite suppressants, muscle builders, and now detox ingredients.
And supposedly, 7 Day Weight Loss Pill is one of them. As always, we're a little skeptical if 7 Day Weight Loss Pill can live up to its claims and work as a fast weight loss pill but we're excited to find out!
7 Day Weight Loss Pill Ingredients
Some of the most notable ingredients in 7 Day Weight Loss Pill include dandelion root, oat bran fiber, cranberry extract, caffeine anhydrous, red raspberry leaf, and cayenne pepper.
Since 7 Day Weight Loss Pill advertises it will burn fat, suppress appetite, and detoxify the body these ingredients have a lot to do!
The inclusion of dandelion root allows for significant detoxification. Studies prove that it will allow you to lose up to 20 pounds of waste in only a few days! Although dandelion root has great potential, it is a safe ingredient to consume for most users.
To make diuretics and detoxifying ingredients such as dandelion root even more effective, 7 Day Weight Loss Pill has included antioxidants such as cranberry, pomegranate, and mangosteen.
To assist in weight loss and appetite suppression, cayenne pepper, raspberry leaf, and caffeine are used. This will allow your body to burn additional calories without requiring any extra effort on your behalf! For this reason, 7 Day Weight Loss Pill stands above other detoxes because it will allow you to lose fat and keep it off.
*Uses clinically proven detoxifying ingredients
*Has powerful fat burning benefits
*Has natural appetite suppressants
*Can improve health while avoiding side effects
*May cause an allergic reaction in some with hay fever
Truth be told, we can't see a serious problem with 7 Day Weight Loss Pill. Yes, allergies are common enough. But some have reported that the right detox reduces the symptoms of even common allergies by eliminating toxins and reducing free radical build up.
Other side effects like fatigue, insomnia, breast enlargement, dry mouth, facial flushing, and vomiting, which are common to unrefined cleanses and diuretics, are not likely. 7 Day Weight Loss Pill is a quick weight loss pill that is is more likely to get rid of those common symptoms. Anything is possible.
If you want to lose 7 pounds in 7 days, 7 Day Weight Loss Pill is a serious option.

Kog'Maw Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is a very basic build on Kogmaw. It is intended to get people on the right track when playing kogmaw.
Mastery explanation:
This mastery set up is very basic and should be self explanatory. (if it isn't leave a comment)
Rune Choice explanation:
The rune choice is basic and constructed from runes most people should have. The quints and seals are there to provide some survivability, the glyphs are there so you don't have to bluepill every 3 min for mana and the marks are there to increase your damage output.
Attack speed runes are also extremely viable on kogmaw but not on very many other champions. My recommendation would be to buy attack speed marks or quints only if you really want to main/play alot of Kogmaw.
Item Build explanation:
This is the core build you want to start with as Kogmaw. You should always, with few exceptions, try to rush that madreds. You want to buy the damage and attack speed components of it first.
I chose Merc treads for this build because merc treads are probably the best boots in the game and helpful in keeping you alive. Other equally viable boots are boots of swiftness (if you need to position yourself carefully in teamfights/kite) or beserkers greeves (if you are already crushing your opponent or their team has no CC).
I rarely get past this core build in most my games as kogmaw but when I do i generally buy a banshees veil/guardian angel or an additional attack speed item*. This choice depends on circumstance.
*for those unaware don't ever buy malady it is the worst item in the game.
Please leave comments and constructive feedback.

How did I miss this? Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame is touring the Lebanon Bologna factory for a future episode. No word on whether or not he stopped by the puppy mills since he was in the area.
One thought on "Mike Rowe Comes to Lebanon"
His producer actually called our office in search of potential dirty jobs in the area about a month ago. I was wondering if they found anything. Puppy mills would certainly be a dirty job that's for sure.

Unfortunately, EXTANT, a very very promising TV show about two distinc subjects AI and Aliens fails to trully exploit the potential of its unique double headed story line.
That's too bad because there is GENUIS with a captial G in this TV show, Hale Berry is amazing and the AI storyline is fantastic, Goran Visjnic is just as great as always, with a cast this solid, a tag line like the one I posted above and a kid like Pierce Gagnon (who's frankly the best actor in this whole TV show) this should have been a 5 seasons slam dunk.
But Murphy's law dictates that : It could go wrong and it did, Extant uses the Alien storyline as the main story line after about 4 episodes, relegating Ethan, the AI child to second place and support role, the need to give Hale Berry a larger role than any other lowly TV actor makes the show unbalanced and the too strong focus on what is frankly the lesser of the two story lines makes it uninteresting. Give me AI over Space baby any day, didn't you learn anything from Mass Effect's space boy controversial people ? This is the same crowd you know....
So there you have it, while Ethan continues to grow and delight us with his progress he's being misused as some interesting plot device, some background noise of the techno future in which this Space baby story takes place, that's sad, failure by the author to recognize the gold he created in the background while totally failing at creating a compeling and interesting story.
Generally speaking people want stories that have bearing on how they feel, if you can't identify with the people in the show at all, it will fail, AI's are coming, we all wonder what it will be like (and if you dont' you suck). Space babies ? Not so much.

Never Alone (c) 2013
Written & performed by Andrea Moredo
Produced by New York based group mas
Jonathan Cunard: production—arrangement, bass, keys, guitar, engineering
Joshua Benson: co-production—arrangement, drums, percussion, keys, beatbox
Hypnotized by angel eyes
How can I be so blind
Evil eyes only in disguise
Pretending to be nice
I was drowning in a deep blue sea
Then you came to rescue me
You are the one my soul calls home
'Cause with you, I'm never alone
Paralyzed as wicked eyes
Find ways to criticize
This beat-up heat that tries so hard
To go back to the start
I made a mistake
But for love's sake you said
Don't be afraid, my love. I'll keep you safe.
After all I've done
After everything's gone, you said
I'll take you back, my love. You don't need to run.

Maria Bello
Celebrity Babes Home / Entertainment ChannelThe beautiful and incredibly sexy Maria Bello has caught Hollywood by storm with her sudden rise to stardom, though you don't need us to tell you how she's done it. After just one look at Maria you'll be dreaming good dreams for the next month. Born in small town in Pennsylvania in 1967, Maria studied at Villanova University with intention of becoming a lawyer until she opted to take an elective drama class at the suggestion of her friend. That was all she needed for inspiration, and shortly following graduation at the end of the 80's, Maria moved to New York to try her hand at acting. And like most aspiring actors, the first years for Maria only offered small parts in TV commercials and television guest spots in series like "The Commish."
Maria landed her first big role in the short-lived TV adaptation of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" before being cast in a recurring role as Dr. Anna Del Amico on NBC's "ER" for one year. Following her work on the series, Maria attempted the jump to film with a few small roles alongside big name actors like Ben Stiller ("Permanent Midnight") and Mel Gibson ("Payback"), as well as her most recognizable role as the bartender/owner of "Coyote Ugly." None of these roles ever really amounted to much success, but in 2003, after appearing in the small indie hit "The Cooler," Maria began popping up all over the film scene. And we expect Maria to continue her rise to the top as one of the more talented upcoming actresses now that she's become a hot commodity for some of the bigger director's in the industry.

Maria Bello on the ScreenMaria is probably best known for her recurring role on the television series "ER" in 1997, but she's more recognizable as the sexy bartender from "Coyote Ugly." Recently it seems like she's got Hollywood wrapped around her finger, with star-making performances in "The Cooler," "Secret Window" and "Assault on Precinct 13."
Maria SaysOn her life:
"I like a fine scotch. That's where I am in my life right now—no tutti-frutti anything. Just a fine single-single malt scotch. In fact, I'd like one right now."
On foreign films:
"I'm a big fan of European films and the way they portray lovemaking. In Hollywood it's ridiculously safe and enormously trite."

Could Karlie Kloss be any cuter? Could we be any more excited to see the Target And Neiman Marcus mega-collaboration heading towards our holiday shopping lists like a juggernaut? The answer to both is a resounding 'no,' and we basically already have our checkbooks out in anticipation of the shopping onslaught that's going to ensue. Luckily for us, we'll be getting our first look at the collection on Kloss, who is one of our all time fave models, in a series of ads that will span all platforms--from social media to print and TV--and, according to a Target spokesperson (as reported by WWD), make use of Kloss' dancing chops. It wasn't just her dancing, or her midwestern charm that got Kloss in the good graces of her Target/Neiman's employers: the 19 year old model reportedly arrived on set with a plate of homemade cookies, and later, with two key lime pies, one baked my her mom, using her grandmother's recipe. Is everyone taking notes? Karlie is giving us all lessons in how to be better people all around.
The line, which features 50 products designed by CFDA designers, will include pieces from Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, Rag & Bone, and Jason Wu. Is it a coincidence that Karlie is often photographed arm in arm with Wu at events? The model and designer have one of the cutest friendships in the fashion world, and we're so excited to see it manifesting yet again. The line will be available December 1st, so sharpen your refresh buttons (and elbows).
Do you think Karlie Kloss is a good face for the Target and Neiman Marcus Holiday collaboration?

Oscar winner Anne Hathaway choked back tears as she honored a doctor who saved a friend's life at a charity gala in Beverly Hills on Sunday night (20Oct13).
The Les Miserables star and her husband Adam Shulman hit the stage at the Victory Fund Champagne Brunch to salute cancer specialist Dr. Beth Karlan, but she had to halt her speech when her emotions got the better of her.
She said, "Dr. Karlan helped a beloved friend of mine... excuse me. She helped a beloved friend of mine battle cancer recently and I couldn't be more grateful to her.
"Dr. Karlan, you are more than just my friend's doctor. You're a friend and ally. And I'm happy to say that together you kicked that cancer's a**."

Nairobi is a surprisingly versatile city that shouldn't be missed. The Western-style clubs, bars and restaurants that you'll find in the skyscraper-filled city centre is easily alternated with the great range of wildlife watching opportunities in and just outside the city. Nairobi is an ideal place to get adjusted to Kenyan lifestyle and to prepare your great travel adventures in Africa.
Since Nairobi is practically on the Equator, you might expect a hot and humid climate. However, located at almost 2000 meters, temperatures never hit more than 25 Celsius. This makes the city an ideal hangout, although the nights can be surprisingly chilly. The city's varied environment and relatively well-organized city centre make this an ideal start to your adventure travels in Kenya, Tanzania and the rest of East Africa.
Nairobi's wildlife
Away from the lively surroundings of the multi-story glimmering buildings of the city centre, Nairobi offers an extensive genre of wildlife watching activities. The best place to experience this is at Nairobi National Park. It literally starts where the city ends and includes the "Big Nine", except for the elephant.
You should, if you have the time, consider arranging a daytrip that allows glancing over the Nairobi skyline from the Ngong Hills, 25 kilometres out of town. Looking the other way provides an amazing view over the edge of the Rift Valley.
Kenya's history and culture
Are you interested in the early days of the colonial era in Kenya? Then spend a day on a tour and visit the Norfolk Hotel, the Karen Blixen Museum (remember the movie Out of Africa?) and the Kenya National Museum. If you're more interested in traditional Kenyan culture, a trip to Bomas of Kenya is an ideal opportunity for you to get acquainted with tribal cultures. Sit down and watch the different traditional tribal dances that are displayed.
Go visit the outskirts
If you get a bit tired of the busy life in Nairobi's city centre, then catch a ride on a "matatu" and travel to some of the city's suburbs. The Kenyans are generally quite relaxed and friendly so select a local joint where you can easily fall into conversation with the locals - who are surprisingly skilled in English - and who also will be happy to challenge you to a game of "foosball" or a game of pool. In case you are hungry, order the "Nyama Choma". Half an hour later you are dipping the tenderly grilled meat into some salt, enjoying the taste of Nairobi!
Keep in mind that Nairobi is infamous for its high crime rate. Take a cab and do not explore the city after dark - not even in a group.
Nairobi is the perfect starting point for your onward journey through Kenya, Tanzania and perhaps the rest of the African continent. Remember that the coast of Mombasa and the beautiful white sand beaches are only 500 kilometres away. Here you will find good opportunities for relaxation and sunbathing after a tough safari program.

Iran's Scientific Output in continuous increase /32% Growth in Q1 Journals
Dr. Mohammad Javad Dehghani, President of Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC), announced Web of Science data extracted on December 2016 reveals that Iran's Scientific Output is in continuous increase.
Dehghani said: In the world of science, the number of citations is the most decisive indicator of scientific authority. Citations show the extent to which scientific outputs are used and referred to. The more the number of received citations, the more scientific impact a country has. A comparison of scientific output of Iran in 2011 and 2015, reveals that in the last 5 years, the number of scientific documents of Iran indexed in the most accredited journals of the world (Q1 journals) has experienced a 32% growth. This growth rate is two times more than the world's average publication growth in Q1 journals. The first quartile (Q1) represents the top 25% journals within a subject category with regard to received citations and impact factor.
He elaborated: in 2011-2015 period, every year more than 2 million documents have been indexed in Web of Science. Total world's growth in 2012,2013,2014,2015 has respectively been 5%, 4%, 2%, and 6%. So over the last 4 years the most growth has taken place in 2015, when the scientific output growth was exactly 5.9%.
Increase in Quantity of Scientific Output
President of Islamic World Science Citation Center indicated that according to ISI Web of Science, since 2011 to 2015, every year averagely 32,000 documents of Iranian researchers have been indexed in ISI, however, the growth of indexed documents is different in each year. Iran's scientific output growth in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 was respectively 7, 3, 5, and 17, so the most growth has taken place in 2015 that is exactly 16.9%. This growth is 2.8 times more than world's average scientific output growth; accordingly in 2015 Iran is placed among the top 25 most proliferative countries of the world.
Dehghani continued: one of the significant factors revealing world's scientific output is the number of articles published in first quartile (Q1) journals. Based on the recent data extracted from Web of Science, Iran's share of world's total scientific output has increased from 792791 documents in 2011 to 932770 ones in 2015 which reveals a 17.6% growth.
Dehghani added: Iran's number of documents published in Q1 journals in 2011 was 5878 ones, while this number grew to 7779 articles in 2015, revealing a 32% growth.
