Three men arrested in Avenue C shooting
Anthony Williams, 23, who was wounded as a result of a gun shot in car parked near Avenue C and 16th Street on Sunday, was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intend to distribute, and intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school. He was also charged with conspiracy and hindering apprehension.
Christopher Seawell, a passenger in the car, was also charged with the same offenses.
Devlin Megargel, 19, of Bayonne was charged with weapons and drug charges, as well as resisting arrest, carjacking, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police Captain Walter Rogers described the shooting as an alleged "drug deal gone bad."
Rogers said the weapon went off in the car about 4:30 p.m., in what appears to have been an allegedly prearranged meeting, during a brief scuffle inside the car over the weapon, resulting in Williams being wounded in the arm.
Rogers said all four occupants in the vehicle jumped out. Two fled on foot. Megargel allegedly slipped behind the wheel and drove away.
Williams was taken to Jersey City Medical Center where he was treated and released for a wound to the arm. The vehicle was later found near 19th Street and Avenue C. Rogers said a bullet fragment was recovered from its interior.
Police later arrested Megargel at his home, after he allegedly tried to flee through a rear window. Police said a search of the house found additional marijuana.
Megargel's brother, Diamond Britton, 20, was charged with hindering the investigation when he allegedly told police Megargel was not at home.
Bayonne man sentenced to nine years for child porn
Richard D. Rowley, 53, of Bayonne, was sentenced on Monday to 108 months in prison for trading images of children being sexually abused, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Rowley previously pleaded guilty to an "information" charging him with one count of receipt and distribution of child pornography. U.S. District Judge Joel A. Pisano imposed the sentence in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court: Rowley admitted that from March 7, 2009 through May 3, 2009 he received images of child pornography and shared them over the Internet. The images included graphic depictions of children under the age of 12 suffering sexual abuse.
As part of his guilty plea, Rowley agreed to forfeit the computers and computer accessories which he used to commit the offense. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Pisano sentenced Rowley to serve five years of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI Newark Division's Cyber Crime Task Force under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark; the Orange County, Va., Sheriff's Office under the direction of Sheriff Mark Amos; and the Bayonne, Police Department under the direction of Chief Robert Kubert with the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney José R. Almonte of the U.S. Attorney's Office General Crimes Unit in Newark.
Omni nursing home project to resume construction
After legal issues delayed it for almost two years, the Omni nursing home project will resume construction on Broadway between 29th and 30th Streets. This is the first nursing home in Bayonne, and is considered the centerpiece of a medical zone that includes nearby Bayonne Medical Center and a number of medical offices along the Broadway shopping corridor.
"The resumption of this project is a key element towards revitalizing Bayonne's economy," said Mayor Mark Smith. "We look forward to the creation of new jobs during the construction phase and permanent professional jobs after the building is completed. After the facility is operational, those employees will provide a boost to Broadway by spending money in nearby stores and restaurants." Smith continued, "The nursing facility will also enable our residents to have convenient healthcare options right here in our hometown."
Omni Health Systems has filed requests with the Bayonne Planning Board for minor modifications of the plans originally approved for the project three years ago. The City of Bayonne has begun its technical review of the amended plans this month. Subsequently, the Planning Board will consider Omni's proposed amended site plan.
The Bayonne Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the original plans for the 120-bed facility in February 2009. Following that approval, project preparations moved forward with the demolition of the former New Jersey Bell Telephone building at the corner of 29th Street and Broadway. The site was cleared, and covered sidewalk scaffolding was erected. Before making additional progress, the construction project was halted as a result of legal claims made involving the former owners of Bayonne Medical Center. One of the claims sought to void the hospital's earlier sale of the Broadway property to Omni. The shadow of the hospital's bankruptcy proceedings delayed the project until November 2011, when Judge Stern of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued a summary judgment decision in favor of Omni. That decision threw out all of the bankruptcy claims and cleared the way for the resumption of the Omni project.
In the interim, Omni had moved forward with other state and local approvals needed for the project.
The existing plans call for the construction of a ten-story nursing and rehabilitation center that would provide an estimated 250 jobs. Omni will construct the nursing and acute care facility as originally planned. However, Omni has proposed some modifications to the ancillary portions of the property. Pending municipal approval of the modified plans, Omni would anticipate resuming construction activities sometime this summer. Thomas O'Connor, an attorney for Omni, stated, "Omni is excited to finally be able to move ahead with this facility, which it believes will help to meet a critical need for long-term healthcare in the City of Bayonne."

HCCC foundation launches scholarship appeal campaign
The Board of Directors of the Hudson County Community College Foundation announced that it will embark on a fundraising initiative to expand the world of possibilities for Hudson County residents.
In April, the HCCC Foundation began its Annual Scholarship Appeal, which is designed to increase the number of scholarships provided to deserving HCCC students.
"Our student scholars include recent high-school graduates, single moms who delayed pursuing their higher-education goals, working men and women who want to provide for their families with careers, not just jobs, and individuals who have been in the workforce and now find it necessary to retool or reinvent their lives," said HCCC Vice President for Development Joseph Sansone.
Sansone said that thanks to the generosity of its donors, the HCCC Foundation has provided more than $1.5 million in scholarships over the years. A donation of $3,200 will fund a full scholarship and $1,600 will fund a partial scholarship.
"We want the members of our community to understand that no donation is too small and every gift is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping our students achieve their academic goals," said Sansone.
For more information about the Hudson County Community College Foundation and the Annual Scholarship Appeal, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (201) 360-4006. Information about the College's Foundation is also available through the College's website at hccc.edu/FoundationDonor/.

Best of #ReplaceBikeWithCar
A recently trending topic on Twitter was #ReplaceBikeWithCar. Basically, the idea is to tweet all the ridiculous things people say about bikes and bicyclists but then switch out "bike" for "car" and "bicyclist" for "driver" (and so on). There were so many awesome tweets.
I've looked around and found what I think are some of the best #ReplaceBikeWithCar tweets. Have a look, and share more with us in the comments if you've seen some great ones that I missed. Of course, also feel free to come up with your own!

Superyacht Del Victoria Mar II Available For Charter With Jack Tar
Currenty undergoing an extensive refit in Ft Lauderdale, the 164ft (50m) Delta 2006superyacht VICTORIA DEL MAR II will come out as a new yacht in time for the holiday period and will be available for charter in the Caribbean/Bahamas.
Contact Jack Tar Superyacht Charter for charter availability and prices which are from 160,000 Euros. The 50 metre luxury yacht can accommodate 12 guests in 7 staterooms, has 11 crew and and cruises at 15 knots.
The interior of the latest VDM is a mixture of upscale elegance and comfort. Claudette Bonville Associates was given the task to lighten and change the feel of the yacht's interior and exterior to a contemporary, crisp, tailored design. By using some key Alberto Pinto pieces to set the tone of the style, Bonville created a calm, clean-lined retreat to calm the soul and awaken the senses.
When stepping onto the aft main deck, guests are surrounded by leather settees and a comfortable conversation area to enjoy a refreshment or cocktail and start off their adventure on the world famous Victoria del Mar. Upon entering the vessel, the warmth of various exotic woods, petrified wood counter tops, unexpected leather wrapped cabinets, soft leather on walls and wide plank wood floors set a background for silk striped area rugs, crisp linen fabrics, leather upholstered, postmodern furniture pieces and inviting overstuffed sofas. The fresh, crisp look is continued forward in the VIP staterooms and down below into all cabins where guests will find embroidery trimmed linens, leather clad walls and silk, opulent, carpets and aroma therapy smells that leave guests knowing that they are surrounded only by the finest materials which enhance their stay and welcome them to luxuriate in their private space after a long day. The massage room and gym awaits should a workout or soothing massage be a guests wish.
The unique stainless, zebra wood clad stairway not only take you to the guest cabins below but upward onto the upper deck which features the sky lounge. Again, guests are treated to petrified wood bar tops on a counter height bar that features hidden plug ins for their electronics. Here Claudette Bonville and her team selected a comfortable sofa, unique polished bone-trimmed chairs where families and friends may sit and watch the large screen TV or enjoy refreshment from the bar or a game of cards. To continue the warm, opulent feel, zebra woods, unique art and luscious fabrics and leathers were selected to create a space guests will want to sink into. On each side of the sky lounge, hidden treasures are found in the unexpected balconies and seating nooks where a guest can tuck away and pass the time watching the water, take a nap or enjoy that long-awaited book they have always intended to read.
Moving aft through the double doors is the private retreat that is the master stateroom. This suite of rooms features a large dressing area surrounded by closets and cabinets, a sparkling, mosaic clad, ensuite bathroom that includes a large, jetted tub, shower and private toilet room. Unique glass bowl double sinks, also used in all guest cabins, complete the lavish bathroom.
The master stateroom cabin does not disappoint! Guests can stay here for days in their own private area. The cabin itself features the finest of linens, sumptuous silk carpets under foot, leather clad walls and its own seating area and desk for two on the opposite side of the cabin. Here breakfast could be enjoyed, a private dinner for two, or if need to, laptops accessed. Hidden cabinets outboard and another oversized closet allows enough space for gowns, clothes and many bikinis to complete this very private space. What makes this cabin so special is the very unexpected and isolated, full beam aft deck where guests staying in the master can entertain with a dinner for 6, enjoy refreshments served from the bar or simply enjoy the comfortable seating area, upholstered in bright, contemporary fabrics. Perhaps lounge in the corner chair for two, alone, watching the world go by. This master cabin has it all.
Finally, at the top of the center stairway or accessed from the aft circular stairs is the vast sundeck. This area is second to no other vessel of this size. Sleek, stainless steel and teak furniture upholstered in the latest fabrics were selected to enhance the deck. Guests can enjoy the sun or conversation on a built in sun pad, chaise lounges or the Zen-like hot tub where they can gaze out over the water and converse with friends while tanning and relaxing. Guest can also converse in the overstuffed seating areas, large, circular bar and built in settee. A private, air conditioned day head, complete with shower, is conveniently located. What makes this space so remarkable, is the ability to seat 18 guests comfortably for dinner el fresco. The table for 12 magically splits apart to accommodate 18 easily. After dinner, guests can get comfortable under the stars to watch movies on a large, double sided screen which can be viewed from any part of this magnificent deck. A wonderful way to end the evening.

Thank you again and it was so nice that you personally met us airport when we arrived."

"I am writing to express my gratitude to Go Visit Costa Rica, Maria Jose and the wonderful tour guides I had on my journey around Costa Rica. All the Interbus drivers were exceptional. Always on time and I always felt safe. George on the Coffee & Poas Volcano tour was wonderful. It was an informative and enjoyable tour. George had us running up that mountain to beat the clouds moving in.
Jorge our tour guide to Tortuguero was the perfect guide, we saw everything on my list of must see even a monstrous crocodile. Monteverde was very interesting and our amazing guide spotted a male Quetzal to the delight of everyone. Then finally Manuel Antonio... Wonderful!
I totally get "the rainy season" ergo a jungle paradise.
Thank you again for planning and rearranging my Costa Rica holiday."

Indexed Quad Sequencer The ER-101 is an externally clocked and resettable 4-track sequencer. Each track consists of 2 analog control voltage outputs referred to as CV-A and CV-B, and, one digital output referred to as GATE. The ER-101's purpose is to provide the musician with a tool for creating and manipulating clock-synced control voltage contours of great length and complexity. Probably the most traditional (but still very relevant) patch for a track's output would be something like this: Pitch Control: CV-A to the 1V/octave input of a VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) Velocity Control: CV-B to the level input of an EG (envelope generator) Note On/Off: GATE to the gate input of the same EG Patched this way, the ER-101 gives you the ability to create almost any 4-part harmony in any scale with arbitrary dynamics and rhythm (up to the clock period). Really. The ER-101 can be a tool that enables you to inject just the right of amount of structure, repeatability, and control into your stormy creations. On the other hand, the ER-101's randomization and jittering operations, it's penchant for complex phasing in time across tracks, and its ability to store thousands of steps for seemingly infinite variation, can be used to make just a few VCOs and VCFs sound like a huge workstation synthesizer. Highlights
Digital Inputs: x2 (clock and reset, threshold=2.5V) Digital Outputs: x4 (gates, LO=0V HI=9.9V)

Draft Limited Liability Partnership Bill, Fourth
Report of Session 1999-2000, HC 59: Government Response, Eighth
Special Report, HC 529
The Committee committed itself in the autumn
of 1997 to looking at the draft Bill, which was expected in late
1997 or early 1998. In was eventually published in September 1998.
The Committee heard evidence in December 1998 at the conclusion
of the consultation period, and reported in February 1999. The
Report gave the Bill approval in principle, subject to a change
in the proposed balance of primary and secondary legislation.
It favoured the removal of any restrictions on eligibility for
LLP status, and some scheme of voluntary funding in the event
of insolvency. A number of detailed recommendations were made.
2. The Government gave a detailed reply
in June 1999. The Minister stated that the process of pre-legislative
scrutiny had been a very positive one, and the response provided
an unusually detailed explanation of the Government's views. A
few recommendations on points identified by the Committee were
accepted; a number of others which reflected those put forward
by consultees were also accepted.
3. Another draft of the Bill and its associated
secondary legislation was published thereafter the Bill was introduced
in the Lords in November 1999. It received Royal Assent in July
2000. In the course of its passage through both Houses, some general
references were made to the Committee's work, but little in detail.

He guessed correct each and every single number...He is incredible!
Jump to navigation
Think of a number with two digits. For example 43.
Now add the two numbers together. For exammple 4 + 3 = 7.
Next, subtract the new number from your orginal number. For example 43 - 7 = 36.
Finally, look at the symbol next to your number. Remember it.
Now the Magic Gohper will read your mind and tell you what your symbol is. Watch carefully.
Did he get your number right? How does he do it?!
He guessed correct each and every single number...He is incredible!
This is magic!
This doesn't work on phone
Hi gore_ross, You're right, it doesn't work on a phone, I'm sorry. We're working to make all of our site mobile friendly in the near future. Best wishes, Joanna (LearnEnglish Teens team)
its a supid mouse never guess the right
.......................... This stupid mouse guess my 5 numbers in a row ...
Now let me explain you the reason. The number is 2 dight, so it should be (10a+b). Follow his instructions, it will end up as 9a. now you wold mention the mutiply of 9's sign is all the same.
He's a raccon, not a mouse!
He's a copy of Courage on Cartoon Network to be honest
I can't understand this game! Someone help me, please!
Simple! I dont know how but the game knows at what symbol you are looking at,and it can guess it.Try to do a random number,remember the symbol and try it again with the same number,look at another symbol and it wont guess the correct symbol!
Sorry for my bad English
Sorry danieldane but i tried that and he can guess your number simply because every answer you have is a multiple of 9,if you look at the symbol page all multiples of 9 (other than 90) HAVE THE same symbol!!
I cannot believe it, but it's true. I am both surprised and thrilling when I play this game.
the answers are always going to be multiples of 9
unknown number count is now 15 1 + 5 = 6, then 6 -1 = 5, and then look at the number of such 16 and voalya
it did it wrongly,haha!!!!
No, I think you did it wrongly!
not just guessing the number 81, 72, 63, 54, 45, 36, 27, 18 or 9
Oh my Gosh . He did...How?
I'm interested!
hi ,
any nubmer divided by 9 is going to end up as the result
Look, if you take a number N=10xa+b, where b is between 0 and 9 and a between 1 and 9. Ok?
So, you have (10a+b) - (a+b)=9a, right ? After that, look at the multiples of 9, they have all the same sign. When you have your result (ex: 12>1+2=3>12-3=9), which is a multiple of 9. The squirrel must just say these sign and he's right ! Understood, now ?
Oh... I can't understand.... I'm very sorry....
OMG! How?
Woof4, look, if you take N=10a+b, where b is between 0 and 9, and a between 1and 9, you have :
(10a+b) - (a+b) = 9a. Ok? So, the result can only be a multiple of 9 : 9,18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. After that, look at the signs in the table. You can notice that all the multiplies of 9 have the same sign. The squirrel has just to show this sign and he's right. You see, it's no magic, but mathematics.
He's not a squirrel, he's a raccon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'ts an interesting game
Omg!! This squirrel is so smart!

More cover love! Mog user msquared wandered over to Somerville Theatre in Massachusetts last night to catch the David Bazan and Ben Gibbard solo tour. In addition to a song-requesting Ted Leo making his presence felt by bantering with Ben, the Somerville crowd was treated to a Gibbard-and-piano take on "All Apologies." msquared offers up this vid…
Much as we love that In Utero classic, "Everyone is gay" rightly belongs on this list of 'most outrageous claims in pop music history.' Anyway, you Death Cab watchers have been writing about some of the new tunes Ben's been trying on the road; yesterday we had a listen of "Casino Blues," which it seems Gibbard has in tow most nights this trek. After the jump, some msquared vid of that tune, as well as a fresh newbie piano ballad called "Thin Ice."

The Survey
Scoring Criteria
Roger Black
(Danilo Black, Inc., USA)
Roger Black
is an editorial designer and typographer, co-founder with
David Berlow
The Font Bureau, Inc.
in Boston, and partner at
Danilo Black
Black has designed magazines, newspapers and websites for clients all over the world, including Rolling Stone, Newsweek, MSNBC.com and Bloomberg.com. He works from a small studio in New York and a Texan ranch.
A typeface that looks good after 550 years will still look great in six months too. Since I first started designing professionally in 1970,
Bruce Roger's
revival of Nicholas Jenson's first Venetian Renaissance Roman typeface (1470) has been at the heart of the Roman style.
At the other end of the spectrum is this decorative slab-serif: strong and very handsome.
Vincent Figgins
created the unique original in 1815.
The great
Matthew Carter
(Carter & Cone) transformed this top-ten-thousand font very successfully for the digital age.
I prefer this revival of early sans-serif typefaces to
. Somehow it has more, I don't know, taste.
I haven't used it for 20 years, but
is the grandfather of all 20th century revivals. It probably needs a digital facelift before it can be used again.
Forget Bodoni, Scottish style is the way forward:
is the current favourite, but
really cuts to the quick.
On nobody's list except mine: Linotype's
gets a place at the top for newspaper readability under real-life conditions … it is used more often than any other font.
It has never been digitised satisfactorily, but it is by far the best Goudy typeface, and in my opinion one of the best American fonts of the last century.
My favourite is the mechanically set one from Haas. It's crazy loving all these slab-serifs. The Swiss were best at them, but unfortunately the digital versions are no good in headlines.
Ok, I've got to choose a typeface that I worked on myself:
Jim Parkinson's
revival of the 19th century
has a solid, quirky style.

Years ago, I spent my first holiday with a boyfriend on the Amalfi coast, and almost every night we ate spaghetti with mussels.
This dish evokes so many memories – not necessarily of the boyfriend, but of the sea and the sunshine of that beautiful coastline. The flavours of southern Italy are so distinctive. They are much lighter and slightly spicier; the proximity to northern Africa has given southern Italian cuisine more heat than its northern counterpart. I particularly enjoy the use of the sweet tomatoes that grow in the south, the best of which are the San Marzano variety from Sicily.
I use tinned tomatoes in this dish – they are ideal for when tomatoes are out of season. In season (from June to September) try to use the San Marzanos, as their flavour and low water content mean they make a lovely, thick sauce. If you are using tinned during the other months, buy the best quality you can afford.
With mussels, the simple way to tell when they are in season is if there is an R in the month. When there isn't, don't buy them. Make sure all the mussels open when you cook them. Any that haven't should be discarded.
(Serves four)
500g mussels
Olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic
½ tsp dried or fresh red chilli, chopped
1 tin chopped tomatoes
375g spaghetti
2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
Wash the mussels and remove any beards (the bits that hang from them like seaweed) using a small knife. Allow them to sit in cold water for 10 minutes to remove any grit. Then in a hot, dry pan, add the mussels, place a lid on and steam them for around five minutes, until they open.
Take them off the heat, allow them to cool slightly and remove their shells. Put them to one side in a bowl, covered in their own cooking juices.
In a frying pan, add two tablespoons of olive oil. Chuck in the onion, garlic and chilli, and sauté until soft, but not browned. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes until you have a nice, thick sauce.
While the sauce is cooking, put the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling, salted water. Cook as per packet instructions.
When the pasta is ready, drain from the water and mix with the tomatoes and mussels. Finish with the parsley and serve immediately.

Anton Chekhov Quotes About EyesQuotes about: Eyes
What truth? You see where truth is, and where untruth is, but I seem to have lost my sight and see nothing. You boldly settle all important questions, but tell me, dear, isn't it because you're young, because you haven't had time to suffer till you settled a single one of your questions? You boldly look forward, isn't it because you cannot foresee or expect anything terrible, because so far life has been hidden from your young eyes? You are bolder, more honest, deeper than we are, but think only, be just a little magnanimous, and have mercy on me.
In descriptions of Nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes his eyes he gets a picture. For instance, you'll have a moonlit night if you write that on the mill dam a piece of glass from a broken bottle glittered like a bright little star, and that the black shadow of a dog or a wolf rolled past like a ball.
When describing nature, a writer should seize upon small details, arranging them so that the reader will see an image in his mind after he closes his eyes. For instance: you will capture the truth of a moonlit night if you'll write that a gleam like starlight shone from the pieces of a broken bottle, and then the dark, plump shadow of a dog or wolf appeared. You will bring life to nature only if you don't shrink from similes that liken its activities to those of humankind.

Baylor And McLennan Sign Commitment For New Transfer Program
Follow us on Twitter: @BaylorUMediaCom
Contact: Lori Fogleman, (254) 710-6275 and Lisa Wilhelmi, (254) 299-8640
WACO, Texas (Sept. 16, 2013) -- Representatives from McLennan Community College and Baylor University announced today the creation of a formal transfer program known as Baylor Bound.
Baylor President Ken Starr and McLennan President Dr. Johnette McKown signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a three-year pilot program to help students transfer more easily between the two institutions. Baylor Bound will allow the schools to identify students who are interested in enrolling at Baylor in order to provide McLennan student support and Baylor advising guidance throughout the transfer process.
"Our commitment to the students of McLennan County is to help create clear and smooth pathways to careers and to higher education institutions for advanced degrees," McKown said. "Baylor's partnership is critical to making this happen since many of our students desire to be part of the Baylor nation. Our Board of Trustees and I value this relationship and look forward to the doors it will open for our students."
"It is an honor to celebrate with President McKown today the new Baylor Bound McLennan program," Starr said. "This program deepens the relationship between Baylor University and McLennan in providing greater access to our institutions for students across Central Texas and the world. I am proud of the collaborative spirit that brought administration, faculty and staff from both campuses together to create a program that works to meet the rising demand for high quality education in our community."
Baylor Bound is a selective program open to highly motivated students who enroll full-time initially at McLennan and want to follow a four-year degree plan resulting in an approved bachelor's degree from Baylor and who want to be part of a special cohort with unique Baylor benefits. Recruiting for this program will begin this fall in area high schools and at McLennan for the program which will begin fall 2014. Interested students will indicate their interest in joining Baylor Bound by completing a membership application.
Students accepted into the program will apply to Baylor when they are ready to transfer and will be admitted to Baylor if they have earned at least a cumulative 2.5 GPA.
Most students in Baylor Bound will take classes for one year at McLennan and three years at Baylor. However, some students may be approved to take two years at McLennan and two at Baylor, depending on the student's major and number of transfer credit hours.
While at McLennan, Baylor Bound students will have expanded opportunities to learn more about Baylor, such as meeting with counselors, attending events on Baylor's campus and registering early for their first semester. Students will also have access to Baylor's libraries.
Baylor University is a private Christian University and a nationally ranked research institution, characterized as having "high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The University provides a vibrant campus community for approximately 15,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating University in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 11 nationally recognized academic divisions. Baylor sponsors 19 varsity athletic teams and is a founding member of the Big 12 Conference.
McLennan Community College provides access to excellent workforce and transfer programs, student services, and continuing education that promotes student success including proficiency in identified student learning outcomes, successful course completion, graduation, employment, and transfer to a senior institution. The college engages and strengthens its community through successful educational attainment, strong leadership, sustainability efforts, best practices, community service, and integrity.

I was having a conversation earlier in the week with one of Huddersfield's elder statesman and he recommended that I visited a pub not far from my home, which strangely seemed to have slipped under my radar. That was why I spent a pleasant lunchtime today in The Beck at Brighouse, (and lets face it, it delayed the shopping !).
Older readers may remember the place as the New Inn, on the left hand side of Bradford Rd coming towards Bailiffe Bridge, just past the police station. It closed for a while and was reopened under the umbrella of Partners brewery a couple of years ago but now it is free of tie and along with a sister pub in Drighlington is a great place to while away an hour or four.
It is a friendly. locals pub. No music, just a TV with the sound turned down, and the locals sat around the bar enjoying the craic. My sort of place. It has 6 real ales on offer. On my visit, a couple from Elland, a couple from Wentworth, and one each from Cotleigh and Stockport. I tried the latter two, and they were excellent, kept well, and very moreish. There are plenty of pump clips around the bar showing the large variety of beers that have been across the bar, and many of them, unusual for the area. And at £3 a pint for a 4% one they will not break the bank.
The Beck opens every Saturday and Sunday at midday, or at 4pm during the week, except 3pm on Fridays. So, if you find yourself on the A641 one day, and feeling a bit thirsty, give it a go. I will certainly be back, it would be rude not to.

The urban legend is at once a story of the imagination and a sombre relating of truth. It is a story told as true, in a recognisable setting peopled by believable characters who have paused in their daily lives to deal with the matter in hand, whether it be humorous or dreadful.
Whether they started in Dublin and wandered away with the Irish diaspora or arrived in the city from somewhere else, far away, is not always easy to decide. What is true, however, is that in Dublin they are told as Dublin stories.
Dublin Urban Legends is published by the History Press.

Foxes roll over Orangeburg-Wilkinson
The Hartsville Red Foxes opened the first round of the 4-A playoffs with a convincing 45-6 win over the Bruins of Orangeburg-Wilkinson. The win pushed the Foxes record to 10-1, while Orangeburg-Wilkinson finished their season at 3-8. Continuing a recent trend, the Red Fox defense forced a 3 and out giving the offense good field position.
They took advantage with a two play drive, with Tiyon Evans scoring from 49 yards out. Caleb Caldwell converted the first of his seven extra points giving the Red Foxes a 7-0 lead. After forcing another punt the Foxes moved to the O-W 3 yard line behind two A.J. Joyner to Quise Huggins pass completions.
Donovan Lambert ran the final 3 yards and the PAT made it 14-0. Using short passes and strong running by Theo Johnson the Bruins reached the Red Fox 23 yard line before turning the ball over on downs. On 2nd down Tiyon Evans exploded again for a 68 yard touchdown and after Caldwell's PAT the Foxes had a 21-0 lead.
The second quarter began with the Foxes on the move again after another O-W punt. After Evans had a 50 yard run to the O-W 35 yard line, the Foxes stalled and O-W took over on downs. With a long delay due to an injury to their QB, the Bruins took advantage of 42 yards of penalties to move inside the Red Fox 10. A big interception by Curtis Thompson stopped the drive at the 5 yard line.
On 2nd down Evans ran 91 yards for his third TD of the night. The PAT gave the Foxes a 28-0 halftime lead. After receiving the second half kickoff the Foxes wasted no time getting on the scoreboard again, moving 75 yards in three plays. A key play was a 47 yard completion from Joyner to Dashawn Davis. Collins Bishop finished the drive with a 21 yard gallop into the end zone and the Foxes quickly led 35-0.
There was no more scoring in the quarter as Hartsville lost a fumble on the O-W 3 yard line and Keyshawn McDonald intercepted an O-W pass near midfield. The fourth quarter scoring began with Caldwell making a 27 yard field goal giving the Foxes a 38-0 lead. Orangeburg-Wilkinson got on the board with 3:37 left in the game as Theo Johnson ran it in from the 4 yard line. The PAT failed leaving the Foxes with a 38-6 lead.
The second unit had an impressive drive behind the running of Dariyan Pendergrass and Lacy Josey. Josey ended the scoring with an 11 yard run and Caldwell capped his perfect night with 6 PATs and the Foxes led 45-6. Orangeburg-Wilkinson tried to mount another drive, but a JD Pendergrass interception ended the game.
The Bizzell's Offensive Plyer of the Game was Tiyon Evans with eight carries for 279 yards and three TD's. The Bizzell's Defensive Player of the Game was Curtis Thompson whose interception on the 5 yard line stopped an O-W drive. Next week The Foxes continue their playoff run with a home game against Cane Bay. Game time will be 7:30. Go out and support the Foxes.

Obesity is a major concern in the United States, but more problematic are the complications that can arise as a result, including diabetes. While type 2 diabetes tends to stem from obesity and lack of physical activity, type 1 requires just as much attention to healthy diet and exercise. When you manage your weight, life with diabetes becomes far more manageable.

Season ends in defeat at Anfield
Robbie Keane scored our final goal of the season against the club where he started it - but it was not enough as the campaign concluded with a 3-1 defeat against second-placed Liverpool.
Robbie Keane scored our final goal of the season against the club where he started it - but it was not enough as the campaign concluded with a 3-1 defeat against second-placed Liverpool.
The captain's strike offered a glimmer of hope as it came when trailing 2-0, but the home side added a further goal as our hopes of finishing seventh and claiming a place in Europe were finally extinguished.
Anfield was bathed in sunshine as the Liverpool fans paid tribute to Sami Hyypia in his final game, and Steven Gerrard nearly got his team off to a bright start when Didier Zokora lost the ball and the home captain fizzed a shot just over the bar.
In a period of pressure, Yossi Benayoun also fired over from in front of goal after Martin Skrtel nodded down following a corner. Liverpool continued to dominate possession but were not finding ways of troubling Heurelho Gomes as the clock ticked past the 20 minute mark.
It was Pepe Reina who was next caused alarm when Benoit Assou-Ekotto drilled in a low shot that the Spanish goalkeeper needed to grab to gather.
But Fernando Torres bought his own brand of finishing to the party on 31 minutes, when he opened the scoring with a header which hit the underside of Gomes' bar following Dirk Kuyt's cross.
Jermain Defoe found himself through on goal just before the break after he sprang the offside trap, but Reina was quickly off his line and averted the danger.
Half time came in a game neither side had made much of an impression in but Liverpool, thanks to Torres, held the advantage.
Liverpool were holding sway in the second half without inflicting further deficit but there was a chance for us to level when the increasingly influential Luka Modric was chopped down on the edge of the area. Gareth Bale hit the target from the resulting free-kick, but Reina was on the correct side of the goal to collect without great alarm.
It was a patched up midfield on parade, with Jermaine Jenas picking up what appeared to be an ankle injury in the first half, and he was replaced by David Bentley. This led to Modric moving inside to partner Zokora, with Bentley playing on the right and Bale on the left.
In front of the Kop, a Skrtel shot struck Torres and was just missed by Benayoun in front of goal before, on 63 minutes, some slick interchange resulted in a Kuyt shot taking a deflection off Alan Hutton and clearing the reach of the already grounded Gomes for 2-0.
Gerrard struck an upright before Gomes saved brilliantly from a Xabi Alonso drive in the following minutes. Harry Redknapp responded by introducing Roman Pavlyuchenko in place of Defoe, but next to go close was Gerrard who shot just wide of Gomes' left hand post.
The deficit was reduced on 76 minutes when Modric set Keane free, and the captain advanced unchallenged before whipping past Reina. It was the cue for Darren Bent to make his return from injury and he replaced Bale, with Keane switching to the left.
Hopes of a revival were short-lived however as Benayoun was soon clear in front of goal and just about managed to squeeze the ball past Gomes to make it 3-1 on 81 minutes.
Alonso and the substitute Albert Riera were unfortunate not to add their names to the scoresheet, but 3-1 it remained and it is farewell to season 2008-09.
Spurs (4-4-2): Gomes; Hutton, Corluka, King, Assou-Ekotto; Modric, Zokora, Jenas (Bentley, 40), Bale (Bent, 79); Defoe (Pavlyuchenko, 70), Keane
Subs not used: Cudicini, Chimbonda, Gunter, Campbell
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Reina; Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Aurelio; Alonso; Mascherano; Kuyt (Riera, 66), Gerrard (Hyypia, 85), Benayoun; Torres (Ngog, 79)

Last weekend I dove in and printed my first letterpress print. It was tricky, I won't lie but I was really happy with the results my Kelsey Excelsior 6x10 produced. The design is one I made last April right before I moved to Portland. I had originally planned to only screenprint it but the design seemed to beg to be pressed, especially the smoke part so I bought photopolymer plates to print it. Above is a shot of the press with the plate for the silver in it and the some pics of the final printed piece. If you would like to buy one they are for sale in my etsy shop

Hitting the Oregon Trail
In a few weeks my lady and I will be packing up wagon and heading West and I'm pretty excited. The last 7 years in Minneapolis have been filled with great people and fun times but have always dreamed of trying out a new area. Kevin and I started Lovely Mpls nearly 5 years ago and I'm amazed at the amount of work we produced on nights and weekends. I wish him the best as he takes over Lovely, solo. As for me, Hopefully it won't take me too long to get a fully functioning screenprint studio up and running.

Awww Fiddlesticks - Werner Design Werks
Werner Design Werks designed this set for Cabell Harris of Work Labs to be part of a bigger piece - a box of Stimuli for a creative group called Lab Rats, the contents of the box are to inspire and stimulate creative thinking. The very fun New Math equations were written by Craig Damrauer.
My good friend Bryan Franklin of Franklin Press brought the printing job to me and figured out a great way to print the double sided sticks as efficiently as possible. Bryan made two jigs for us to attach the sticks perfectly centered onto 14" x 20" boards. We put repositionable spraymount through the jigs and then dropped the sticks one by one on to the boards. Do that about 90 times and you have alot of boards with a lot of sticks perfectly centered on them. After that was done we registered the boards on the press and printed the sticks. We set it up as a work in turn so the first pull printed half the fronts and half the backs of 10 different designs. Then we sprayed new boards with repositionable and flipped each board of sticks over onto a new one, leaving the sticks centered but ready to by printed with the exact same screen as the first to print the opposite sides. Don't worry, it still confuses me too.

2 Years at Sussner Design Co.
Time, she flies. I had to be reminded yesterday that it was my two year anniversary here at the SDCo. I think Tessa said it like "it's been 2 years too long of putting up with you." It's been a good 2 years though hanging out with Derek, Tessa and Brandon (and the 2 dogs Lily and Daisy). Thanks to Derek for going after good work and Introducing me to the addictive and frustrating game of golf. Tessa for making me laugh, especially when she's berating telemarketers. Brandon for his amusing nonsensical stories. Daisy for gaseous anomalies. And Lily for taking up all the legroom under my desk.

Mighty Fairly
A few weeks ago Mighty Fairly asked me to design a poster for themselves and 3 other bands playing at the Turf Club. Mischa of Mighty Fairly wanted the theme to be about getting out of the house to help get over the winter doldrums. I opted to represent all of the bands family style as a series of framed portraits titled, Hibernation leads to Indignation. The other excellent bands represented are The Small Cities, Communist Daughter and Kubla Khan. The poster is printed 5 colors, Gold plus CMYK process printing.

They will perform at the Taipei Arena in Taiwan from February 2 to 5 followed by performances at the Singapore Indoor Stadium from February 18 and 19. More concert stops in other locations such as the U.S. and Latin America have also been talked about.

A Cottage Grove mother, who admitted to drinking nearly a fifth of vodka before falling asleep and ending up on top of her infant son, has been charged with two counts of manslaughter.
The criminal complaint said Toni A. Medrano, 29, fell asleep on the couch after placing the child between her and the back cushion. She awoke to find the 3-week-old boy "cold and purple," and screamed to her husband: "The baby is dead."
Medrano was charged Wednesday with a count of second-degree manslaughter for "culpable negligence creating unreasonable risk," and a count of second-degree manslaughter for "committing or attempting to commit a violation." Both are felonies.
The boy, Adrian Alexander Medrano, was born on Nov. 1. He died of asphyxia after being laid on while sleeping, the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office concluded in an autopsy.
According to the criminal complaint filed by Fred Fink, chief of the criminal division at the Washington County attorney's office, the boy's father came home from work the night of Nov. 21 to find that Medrano had been drinking. He told his wife that "she should not lie on the couch with the baby as she could fall asleep and suffocate the baby," the complaint said.
A Cottage Grove police officer responded to an emergency call the next morning about 10:38 a.m. at the residence on 90th Street. He found the father performing CPR on the child. The officer and paramedics continued resuscitation attempts but Adrian was pronounced dead at Woodwinds Hospital in Woodbury.
No date has been set for Medrano's initial appearance in Washington County District Court.

Non-profit US design group Architecture for Humanity is to file for bankruptcy – but its work is set to continue via associated groups across the world.
The organisation's board of directors say they will file the application in the next two weeks, but 57 international chapters have pledged to continue working under a new umbrella network.
Board chair Matt Charney said that Architecture for Humanity LLC would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the US.
He said: "Architecture for Humanity has had incredible partners and funders that made our work possible over the last 15 years but, like many charity organisations, we have had serious funding challenges.
"Our leadership worked to overcome the funding gaps to the best of their ability, but the deficit combined with budget overruns and an overall decrease in donations finally became an insurmountable situation."
Architecture for Humanity was founded in 1999 and raised money to fund architectural solutions to humanitarian crises around the world.
At its peak it was receiving over $5 million in funding each year. Its work was carried out internationally by independent chapters, coordinated by a parent organisation in San Francisco.
But on 1 January this year the charity's head office laid off all of its staff and ceased accepting donations.
The associated groups can continue to operate as they have a level of independence.
"Many of the international chapters of Architecture for Humanity, while they share a common name, are separate legal entities and will continue their work without pause," said Charney.
"Additionally, the US-based chapters of Architecture for Humanity are managed by all volunteer directors, and those directors have vowed to continue the work of the organisation, though it may be under a different name. It is a testament to what Architecture for Humanity has meant to the profession that the work will continue."
Supporters have taken to social media to pledge their continued commitment to the group's ideology.
In a statement its board wrote: "Even with this sad news, it is important to remember what the thousands of Architecture for Humanity volunteers and staff accomplished and inspired over the last 15 years.
"In 2006, the TED Prize was given in recognition of this work and spawned the Open Architecture Network, a platform that allowed a community to be born surrounding open source design and connected the world of humanitarian design globally in the digital space like no one had done before.
"Architecture for Humanity has provided important public interest design services to communities with critical needs across the globe, including post-disaster reconstruction in the United States, Haiti, the Philippines, South Africa, and Japan.
"We encourage everyone to take a look at the incredible work that has been done."

Do you ever take screenshots so that you can record an image directly from your screen and use it later? Imagine just how useful it would be to be able to do the same – just with a video instead of an image?
Most people don't realize the full potential of screen capture until they try it out for the first time. On the surface it can seem like a lot of hassle, but once you start to use it to record Skype calls, save online video streams, and capture other videos – you'll probably look at it in a different light.
Add to that the fact that with Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac you'll be able to grab video directly from your Mac's screen without any fuss whatsoever, and its appeal will increase even further.
Intuitively Record and Edit Videos
Contrary to what you may expect from a screen recorder for Mac, Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac is so intuitive that it can be used by anyone – even an absolute beginner. Right from the very first time you launch the software, you'll be able to locate the features that you need and begin recording your video quickly.
The user interface of Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac lays out everything in a way that makes it accessible, and the only thing you need to do to start recording is set the capture frame and click the 'REC' button to get going. With a few more clicks you could also set the frame rate, select the audio source, and even get the software to highlight the mouse cursor and display keys that are pressed on-screen so they can be recorded.
When the recording is done, you'll find that editing videos using Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac is just as straightforward. Odds are you'll start by cutting and combining video segments and enhancing the video quality, but you can also do much more – such as adding background music, stylish animated transitions, and so on.
While initially you may be content to just grab video footage to record Skype calls, online video streams and other miscellaneous purposes – having the capability to edit your videos and turn them into professional-looking productions will certainly come in handy at some point or other. Give it a try if you want to see for yourself just how quickly and effectively you'll be able to grab video directly from your Mac's screen.
