With the onset of 2013 comes the debut of new toy ranges from the world's largest licensors and licensees.
The toy expo season is culminating at the U.S.' largest industry event, the American International Toy Fair, sponsored by the Toy Industry Association. Occurring Feb. 10-13 in New York City, the event brings together more than 1,000 exhibitors in a wide range of toy categories, from action figures to games, construction toys to ride-ons, eco-friendly products to plush, seasonal goods to preschool-focused items and many more.
Although U.S. toy sales were mostly flat in 2012, according to research from The NPD Group, toy sales remain a $16-plus billion industry. Last year, sales declined only slightly, from $16.6 billion in 2011 to $16.5 billion in 2012, bolstered in part by a strong year-end finish during the holiday season. Licensed toys accounted for a large portion of these sales, and continue to be a driving force in the business segment.
Predicting trends in the toy arena can be equally as challenging. According to NPD, the categories with the most growth last year were building sets, arts and crafts, dolls and infant/preschool ranges.
"Construction [toys] continued to see double-digit growth from 2012 to 2013, with LEGO Friends successfully expanding construction play to girls," says Tara Hefter, vice president, licensing, Jakks Pacific. "I would expect to see additional girls' construction offerings with licensed brand names appear in 2013."
The licenses that performed strongest in 2012–Warner Bros.'s Batman; Disney's Cars, Disney Princess, Mickey & Friends and now Star Wars; HIT's Thomas & Friends; Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer; and WWE–are mostly well positioned to endure into 2013 thanks to recent acquisitions (Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, Mattel's acquisition of HIT Entertainment, etc.), continued release of content and perennial evergreens. Other trends forthcoming, as predicted by License! Global in the November/December 2012 issue ("Global Toy Trends") are the continued excitement surrounding the superhero genre, thanks to a plethora of films set for 2013 release from Marvel and Warner Bros., the ongoing product support for virtual properties (apps) and the reliance on retro and evergreen programs to fuel retail spending.
Warner Bros. Consumer Products is kicking off 2013 with a roster of global licensees for its portfolio of entertainment properties, led by the upcoming summer release ofMan of Steel, a new telling of the Superman legend from director Zack Snyder. Mattel will unveil a broad range of toys for the property, including action figures, play sets and collectible figures. Other partners tapped to develop product in support of the film include Thinkway Toys for role play, Jakks Pacific for collectibles and novelties and Cardinal Industries for games and puzzles. WBCP will also support its Batman evergreen with a DC Super Friends program from Mattel and Fisher-Price, a range for the Looney Tunes and The Looney Tunes Show properties, product to support the TV comedy "The Big Bang Theory" and the continuation offerings for The Hobbit property.
Under that retro/evergreen umbrella falls multiple properties that will be debuting hot new product on New York's Toy Fair floor.
From Saban's massive Power Rangers Megaforce program comes a wide range of product from licensees Bandai, Mega Bloks and Mattel, which will merge the property with its perennial Hot Wheels property with a car assortment and action set.
Also from Bandai are several new Ben 10 ranges to support the Emmy award-winning Cartoon Network franchise. On deck is the Ben 10 Omni-Net Omnitrix, an i-compatible interactive product that allows kids to integrate the Ben 10 app or video game into physical play; the compact Omnitrix Shuffle, which plays any of the 10 alien voices from the series when attached to a mini-figure; and the Ben 10 Transportation Station play set.

I have limited free time for family and training. How can I balance the two so that it's worthwhile and fun for everyone?
I consulted a few of my time-strapped friends on how they integrate spouses, kids and pets into their training. They all have interesting, unique solutions to fit their lifestyles.
Alternate racing seasons
Seton and Debbie Claggett own TriSports.com, and are both competitive triathletes. They alternate years in which one of the pair gets to prioritize training and racing. Neither is sure if they actually sat down and developed this plan or if it just evolved, but it has worked well for this family of four: One year mom gets to race, next year it's dad's turn.
"Doing it this way has relieved what could have been a ton of stress from our relationship," Debbie says. "There is no arguing about who gets to ride when, who is responsible for getting the kids to school, etc. It's just understood that if it's my season, I get the prime training time and he has primary responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the household, and vice versa."
The other partner still manages to keep fit and stay active—the couple will drop the kids off at school and go for a run together—but most of the "off-year" training consists of easy runs, bike commuting and swimming with the kids. This strategy also has other benefits: Since only one of the couple is seriously training at a time, they can share training tools such as power meters, heart-rate monitors and even a time-trial bike. As the kids get older they get to join in the racing in the baby jogger and bike trailer, or cheering on the sidelines.

Free range egg farmers believe the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is acting on their concerns about egg prices.
Phil Westwood, from the Free Range Egg and Poultry Association of Australia, says it's been lobbying the ACCC to investigate reports of market manipulation.
He's concerned that the major egg companies have too much influence on prices.
"Well, as we understand it, we haven't heard officially from the ACCC, but we understand they are actually investigating whether or not there's been collusion and actions designed to bolster the price of eggs, rather than let the market forces determine the price." he said.
The ACCC would not confirm or deny that it is undertaking such an investigation.

SALISBURY — For the third consecutive year, Salisbury is receiving state funding for its Safe Streets Coalition. According to state and city officials, that money is making a noticeable impact.
"It [Salisbury] is a very different place today … than two and a half years ago," said Kristen Mahoney, executive director of the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention (GOCCP).
Mahoney was on hand to deliver a check for $324,623 to city officials at a special event Wednesday.
"It is an amazing story of progress," she said of Salisbury's history with the GOCCP.
Mahoney explained that Gov. Martin O'Malley had taken a personal interest in Salisbury three years ago when he noticed disproportionately high crime rates for such a small city. He instructed Mahoney to work with the city and the county to brainstorm solutions. That effort resulted in the current Safe Streets initiative, one of only two in Maryland, the other being in Annapolis.
"We talked about what was not happening," said Mahoney.
She felt that the biggest issue was a lack of information sharing between departments and agencies, a problem that Mahoney says was quickly addressed.
"We started truly sharing information about them [criminals]," she said.
Over the last three years, the state has provided $808,138 in funds for the Safe Streets program. According to Mahoney, that money is used to help link the police, the State's Attorney's Office, and the community together to better understand and reduce crime within the city. After nearly a million dollars, she says the results are dramatic, with crime rates steadily dropping.
"The Salisbury Safe Streets Program is a much-needed partnership to reduce crime in our communities," said O'Malley. "These funds will help increase information sharing and provide local law enforcement with the tools they need to create safer neighborhoods. Together, with our local and federal partners, we can continue to protect our most solemn obligation: the public's safety."
Salisbury Mayor Jim Ireton agreed and pointed out that the results seen by Salisbury already are impressive.
"Today, our data shows that since the inception of Safe Streets, our Part 1 crimes are down 35 percent," he said. "For the first half of 2011, the city has recorded fewer Part 1 violent crimes than in any time during the first six months of the last 10 years."
Additionally, Ireton mentioned that neighborhoods like Church Street have had violent crime reduced by 30 percent, and thefts in Camden have gone down 57 percent. Part 1 crimes also dropped 20 percent in the Smith Street and Newton Street area while Part 2, quality of life offences, plummeted 53 percent in the same location.
"This is the concrete progress that our citizens and the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention are proud of … This, Salisbury, is Safer Streets," he said.
The money provided this year will go toward paying law enforcement overtime, a crime data analyst, a community prosecutor and for the alarm system of a New Neighborhood Service Center, among other things.
Like Mahoney, Ireton acknowledged that Safe Streets epitomized a "group effort." He thanked both the state and local partners, crediting them all with where the program is today. Ireton did give special attention to Delegates Norm Conway and Rudy Cane, both of whom were in attendance at the event Wednesday.
"We appreciate that hard work," he told the delegates. "We have forged so many incredible relationships with our state partners … These relationships help us move our city forward, and we must be vigilant that those in the community whose answer and vote is increasingly 'no' are watched carefully."
Ireton gave credit to the police as well, calling them a "rejuvenated and reborn" department.
Wicomico County State's Attorney Matt Maciarello also expressed his appreciation of the state's involvement.
"This affords tremendous resources for crime-fighting in Salisbury…It's a tremendous, tremendous benefit to law enforcement," he said.
Maciarello explained that the funding received through Safe Streets allowed him to basically assign one of his prosecutors full time to the program.
"We're doing everything we can to make you safe," he said.
Ireton ended the event by urging members of the City Council to vote in favor of Safe Streets programs.
"Today is an incredible day for our citizens, for this police department, and for our coalition … We are ready to move forward," he said.
He asked the council to concentrate on the benefits of the initiative, what it has already accomplished, and its potential. Ireton also took the opportunity to congratulate Dr. Mark Bowen on being appointed Safe Streets Coordinator. Bowen, who has had an extensive history both in education and law-enforcement, promised to keep the program heading in its current direction and agreed with his fellow officials that Salisbury is a different place now than it was only three years ago.

By Victoria Hampstead
LONDON (AP) — Kate Middleton and Prince William are a match made in heaven. Just check their horoscopes.
The couple will be delighted to know their star signs, Capricorn and Cancer, indicate they are highly compatible and have a good chance of having a successful marriage, according to leading British astrologers.
"They probably feel like soulmates," said Wendy Stacey, chair of the Astrological Association of Great Britain.
Take it as a bunch of hooey or a celestial peek into the future. Just keep in mind that The Associated Press reported in 1981 that an astrologer warned that Prince Charles, who was born under the complex sign of Scorpio, would have a "stormy marriage" in his union with Princess Diana, born under the sensitive, intuitive Cancer star sign.
Everyone knows how that ended up.
Jay Lucan, who works with the British Astrological and Psychic Society said the new royal couple have "75 percent relationship compatibility" based on their star charts — giving them "definitely a good chance" of outlasting William's parents in matrimony.
Both Stacey and Lucan acknowledge they cannot confirm the accuracy of their predictions for many reasons. The biggest drawback is not knowing Middleton's exact time of birth; Prince William's was publicly announced as a matter of national interest.
So what do the couple's birth dates tell us?
For starters, Middleton, born on Jan. 9, 1982, is a Capricorn (an earth sign) while William, born June 21, 1982, is a Cancer (a water sign). Each star sign is designated an element: air, water, fire and earth.
"Cancers and Capricorns are opposites as water and earth," Stacey explains. "As a result, they can read each other very clearly and they have a deep emotional understanding. It's quite a lovely thing."
Middleton and Prince William, the astrologers claim, both exhibit characteristic traits of their star signs.
"William is emotionally very private — a typical Cancer. He doesn't share a lot and likes to retreat," Stacey said. Case in point: the couple plan to settle post-wedding in a backwater town in Wales as Prince William works as a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force.
Think of the crusty crab that represents the Cancer sign, Lucan said — crabs have a thick shell on the outside, protecting a very vulnerable soft body. "William's not that well-equipped to deal with criticism. He shares that same trait with his mother (also a Cancer)," Lucan said.
As a Capricorn, Middleton, apparently, is much tougher. "She definitely wears the pants in the relationship," Stacey said.
Typical of her sign, Middleton is ambitious: she's a commoner marrying into the world's most famous royal family. And extremely patient — she did, after all, spend eight years waiting for her prince to pop the question.
(This version CORRECTS in last sentence that couple were together at least eight years.)

There is a story making its way around the Internet that you have to hear if you haven't caught it already. It's the story of Barbara Finney, a woman who lost her fingers at the age of 25 but didn't give up on the art of crocheting (and knitting). She taught herself to crochet without her fingers and now crochets for charity to help others that are in need. Comment inspirante!
According to the various news reports I've seen around the web, Barbara Finney suffered from a rare blood condition that put her in the hospital for half the year when she was just 25 ans. One of the complications of the blood disorder was that she lost her fingers.
Eight years have passed since that time and Finney has used those eight years to figure out how to deal with a life without fingers. She didn't want to let this setback stop her from doing the things that she enjoyed doing, such as crocheting. Alors, she learned how to crochet and knit using just the stumps of hands that she has left.
Finney crochets for charity. She makes hats as well as blankets and donates them to a home hospice. She finds that she enjoys doing good for others, helping to keep the legs of a person in a wheelchair warm with one of her blankets for example. It adds meaning to her own life.
This is the kind of story that is inspiring because most of us aren't sure that we could triumph in a similar situation. Most of us would probably feel sorry for ourselves that we had lost our fingers and couldn't crochet anymore. Though Finney surely struggled with various emotions around this, she has overcome the challenges.
Crédit source: Although I read quite a few different articles about Finney, the one that first taught me about the story was by Sharon Watterson of The Examiner. She is knit_n_scribble on Twitter. Watterson was also the source of the video that is featured above. I encourage you to read more of her work at The Examiner!

2013 Winter Issue 3 (February 1, 2013)
Men Take First in Three Events at MSU Open
It's extremely early in the 2013 season, but if the initial indications come to mean anything, it could be a very exciting indoor campaign for the Carleton College men's track and field team. The Knights won three events at the Minnesota State Mankato Open, a meet that featured mostly competitors from NCAA Division II institutions.
Women Hold Own Against D-II Competition
With the Knights competing exclusively against racers from NCAA Division II institutions, Colette Celichowski '15 and Ruth Steinke '16 finished 1-2 in the mile run, crossing the line at 5:12.43 and 5:13.26, respectively, to highlight several strong performances by the Carleton College women's track and field team at the Minnesota State-Mankato Open.
Women's Swimming and Diving Takes Down St. Olaf, Honors Seniors at Last Dual Meet
The Carleton College women's swimming and diving team wrapped up its dual meet portion of the season at St. Olaf College, and it is fitting that the seniors led the way.
Men's Swimming and Diving Honors Seniors During Final Meet
The dozen seniors on the Carleton College men's swimming and diving team, participated in the final dual meet of their careers as the Knights traveled across town to face St. Olaf College on Senior Day for both squads.
Sawatzke Joins 1,000 Point Club
Putting up a team high 26 points on the afternoon, senior Tom Sawatzke '13 joined exclusive company as just the 26th Carleton College men's basketball player to tally 1,000 career points. Sawatzke's historic effort, which was one point shy of his career high and marked his 12th career 20-point game, played a key role in a Knights' comeback that came up just short.

The War Against ILVTOFU License Plates
Tofu-loving Tennesseean Whitney Calk has teamed up with PETA to protest being denied a vanity license plate that says ILVTOFU (I love tofu) because state bureaucrats misread it as I LV TO FU, which they found offensive, because fucking. Which is odd, since I find tofu more offensive than fucking, but that's beside the point.
Whitney Calk is protesting! Not just for herself, but for tofu-loving drivers of obnoxiously plated cars everywhere. PETA explains that America is in the midst of a decentralized war against ILVTOFU license plates: In addition to Tennessee, Florida, Colorado, and Virginia have also rejected ILVTOFU license plates. Won't anyone stand up for the rights of ILVTOFU license plates? Damn red states, full of carnivorous thugs and/or sexual prudes and/or destroyers of free speech. [Tennessean, Fark, image via PETA]

Terrence Howard
Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images Collection
Welcome To Terrence Howard's Garden
Though he has made a name for himself as a versatile actor, Terrence Howard's true preference for expression is music. "[With] acting I play somebody else's ideas of humanity," says Howard. "[With] music I get to express my own ideas as a human being." In an exclusive interview with GRAMMY.com, Howard discusses his love for music, his musical upbringing, memorable career moments, and his debut album, 2008's Shine Through It, among other topics.
Music has always been an important presence in Howard's life, particularly when he was growing up.
"My uncles played the guitar [and] the piano," says Howard. "My grandmother played the guitar. My mother sang. My great grandmother played the piano and sang. Music was always around the household."
Away from music, Terrence Howard the actor has landed big-screen roles in films such as Mr. Holland's Opus, The Best Man, Iron Man, and Crash. In 2005 he garnered his first Oscar nomination for Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of "Djay" in Hustle & Flow. But ask Howard about his most memorable career moments, and you might be surprised.
"It's being able to express ideas…with people like [record executive] Al Bell," says Howard. "To sit down with Bill Clinton and to have access to the most inspirational people in the world and to share and interchange seeds [and say,] 'This is what I've been growing in my garden.' And have them take some of my seeds, and [me] taking some of theirs."
Howard recently mixed his two professions by participating in This Is Memphis, a forthcoming documentary chronicling the rich history and impact of the music originating from the Memphis/Mississippi Delta region. The film features GRAMMY winners Kirk Whalum, Booker T. Washington and Mavis Staples, among others. Howards serves as the film's narrator, an experience he considers part of his ongoing music education.
"My involvement is more of an anthropological study, so to speak," he says. "It's to figure out what has influenced the music of Memphis and how the music of Memphis has influenced everything else around the world as a whole. Sitting here and speaking to Al Bell and him describing the conditions under which he wrote [the Staples Singers'] 'I'll Take You There,' a song that has influenced me my whole life and been such a pure part of my soul, I love that."
Howard shared the seeds of his own musical garden in 2008 when he released his debut album, Shine Through It. Ripe with elements of soul, funk, bossa nova, and jazz, Howard penned each of the 11 songs, in addition to playing guitar and producing the album. Howard's lyrical subject matter draws upon autobiographical experiences, including "No. 1 Fan," which he wrote for his children.
The results of Howard's foray into music were positive as Shine Through It resonated with listeners, reaching No. 31 on the Billboard 200. More importantly, Howard passed a personal "test" in sharing his music.
"I have my own philosophies," says Howard. "You can put them in prose and write them as a book, and somebody might catch a hold to it. But the real test of anything is to put it in another medium."

Warning: THIS IS STILL NOT IN FASHION! James Reipas is hailing from Helsinki, Finland and is a group of talented young electronic musicians who could easily be considered as pioneers of Finnish psychedelic dance music. The group consists of Kolmas Vasemmalta (guitar, vocals), Oskari Olevainen (percussion, vocals) and Kayab (keyboards).
James Reipas' debut album "This Is Not In Fashion" (DMTCD08) was released on the Australian experimental trance label Demon Tea Recordings in 2001 and it received wide appraisal within the trance scene and outside it as well. They also have one song ("7 Brothers / Themes and Variations") on Exogenic Records compilation "Fusion vs. Confusion" (EXOCD06) and one track ("String Of Pearls") on Demon Tea compilation "Not My Cup Of Tea" (DMTCD07).
James Reipas has an unique style of sound, combining both electro and psychedelic dance music with recorded live instruments such as flamenco guitars, live drums and percussion, etc. This is definitely not your average soft synth music with boring presets, as the group uses mainly hardware synthesizers and equipment to create their tracks, trusting on the good old MIDI. James Reipas doesn't believe in genre limitations either and they are not ashamed to send the same message to their listeners. They have been performing extensively in Finland and their wild live performances have gained tremendous popularity. The live sets of James Reipas are more based on improvisation and free flow than sticking to the original structures of the songs.
UWAGA (Freakdance Records, FDCD06) continues the James Reipas saga from where their previous album left off. It features all the great trademarks of James Reipas music - great melodies, live instruments, songs you can both listen and dance to, songs for both day- and nighttime and everything in between. The album combines the best elements in both electronica and psychedelic dance music with a hint of rock music also. The tracks on this album have been made during the years 2002-2005. "Uwaga" also features brilliant mastering by audio engineer genius Simon Polinski (Psy-Harmonics, Australia).
Words are simply not enough to describe the music of James Reipas, since you don't need to be intelligent to learn to love it. From Finland with love, check it out for yourself.
"You won't be able to mix it with your identikit Nanoalchemysolsticespun-mega, but that's the point. Genuinely psychedelic, genuinely fresh, genuinely essential. And I had fun reviewing it." 10 out of 10
- Psyreviews (UK)
"To conclude it's quite much of a feel-good album. You'll probably be smiling to yourself a lot. There's a lot of beauty and funniness here."

Lake Paran to host 7th annual 'Dessert Cabaret'
NORTH BENNINGTON -- Paran Recreations is preparing for its annual "Dessert Cabaret," by seeking out business and member dessert donations.
Set for Saturday, August 2, at 6 p.m., the dessert buffet and open mic cabaret will feature all-you-can-eat confections from local restaurants and residents with all the extras for $8 a person. The rain date is set for Sunday, August 3, at 6 p.m.
"Everyone who comes always has a good time and is always very complimentary," said Paran Recreations director Marlene Driscoll. "It's special because I don't know anyone else around here that offers anything like this. It's a very pretty evening event."
Illuminated paper bags will line the pathways and docks, which Driscoll said makes it one of Paran's more scenic events, and brings in at least 150 people every year.
In previous years, the dessert cabaret has served as a fundraiser for things such as the installation of the volleyball court.
Since most of the event's inventory comes from donations, almost the entire amount of each ticket sold this year will go to the fund for the second pavilion at the lake. Fundraising for the pavilion since May, Paran Recreations has already reached $6,000 of its $15,000 goal.
Not only are desserts and soft drinks included in the ticket price, but so is some community entertainment. Already listed with seven entries, a sign-up sheet is available at the Lake Paran snack bar for anyone who wishes to show off their musical talent.
"The cabaret gives an opportunity to people and kids who wouldn't otherwise perform in something like a talent show It's very casual," Driscoll said.
The snack bar, beach and craft rentals will be open with extended event hours during the dessert cabaret.
Dessert and food donations for the event in the past have come from the Blue Benn Diner, Dunkin' Donuts, Kevin's Sports Pub, the Crazy Russian Girls Bakery, Hannaford and Price Chopper.
Yet to come this year at Lake Paran is the stone-skipping competition on September 20, for which a man from the Guinness Book of World Records will attend and compete with advanced skippers. The event will feature amateur and children's' competitions as well as a band and pig roast.
Also coming up this year is the 'Harvest Party,' which includes a potluck, entertainment from multiple bluegrass bands, pumpkin carving and a potato carving on October 4.
Find Lake Paran on Facebook for operating hours and all upcoming events.

Hampton Inn appeal clarifies concerns
The appellant filed a statement of questions in Vermont Superior Court Environmental Division on July 24. The appeal was filed by Steve Bauer, an owner of the Inn at Willow Pond, on behalf of a group of local lodging establishment owners.
When asked to comment on the appeal, Bauer said it was filed due to inconsistencies between the proposed project and the town plan and zoning bylaws.
In the statement of questions contained in the appeal, the lack of a landscaping plan, as well as impact to views of Equinox Mountain and Mother Myrick Mountain were some of the groups concerns, as well as the impact to traffic.
In regards to the landscaping plan, the document states that an application needs to have an existing and proposed landscaping plan, which the document states the application is lacking.
"This [landscaping plan] is needed for the Town to make a decision on the impact on streetscapes," the statement of questions reads. "Nowhere in the Manchester Zoning Ordinance does it say the Applicant can determine whether or not a particular planting (e.g. trees) are removed or stay."
As a part of the permit, the Mullaney hospitality group agreed to try and save as many existing trees as possible. Both the DRB and planning commission brought up this issue. For trees that cannot be saved, they will be replaced with an "appropriate caliper" tree, as stated in their permit, Allison Hopkins, zoning administrator and director of planning said.
The statement also included the issue of blocking Mount Equinox. In a planning commission hearing July 18, Bauer raised this issue as well.
"(The) Application should include, but does not, sight lines and elevations to the ridgelines which is necessary to evaluate the impact of the new larger buildings on blocking the pedestrian and vehicular views of the Equinox Mountain and Mother Myrick Mountain ridgelines, which impacts the Appellant as an individual and as a tourism based business owner dependent on scenic streetscapes," the statement reads.
Traffic conditions were discussed at length in both DRB and planning commission hearings, where Bauer and others voiced their concern that the addition of the Hampton Inn and Suites, as well as the three new retail buildings would negatively impact traffic flow. That is reiterated in the statement of questions, including concern that a bicycle traffic study was not presented in the application. Also concerning traffic is that the redevelopment of this location could result in unsafe conditions.
"No increase in width of the traveled way, buses turning in with wider turning radius, new drive thru traffic across the street, increased bicycle traffic, etc...indicated that the current design will lead to unsafe conditions.
At the same time the statement of questions became a matter of public record, Kevin Mullaney, vice-president of Mullaney Hospitality Group, issued a statement regarding the appeal on Thursday.
Mullaney said in the statement that the Mullaney Hospitality Group met with Steve Bauer earlier this week and proposed the formation of a lodging association to assist all owners to increase their occupancy.
"This proposal is effective until August 4, 2014 and is contingent upon the dismissal of the appeal to the Superior Court/Environmental Division and all other actions delaying the project," he said in the statement. "Should the offer not be accepted, all proposed association funds will be allocated instead to legal efforts to overturn the appeal."
The Mullaney Group is committing in excess of $35,000 to the lodging association effort effective immediately, should the appeal be dropped, according to the statement.
As of press time, the Mullaney Hospitality Group did not have any further comment regarding the appellants statement of questions. Steve Bauer, along with approximately 10 other lodging establishment owners did not have further comment either. Both groups will respectively release statements early next week, they said.

Buckeye Club takes shape
Six years ago, Bob Grueser invited some neighbors over to watch Ohio State sports.
That invitation led to formation of the Buckeye Club, which today has about 525 members; many whom have never lived in Ohio.
"When I spread the word about the first organizational meeting in March 2007, I wasn't sure what to expect," Grueser said. "125 folks showed up to hear Jim Matta, father of OSU basketball coach, Thad, and to learn more about the future plans of the group."
After the first meeting, Grueser thought there could be 300 members in no time and that was certainly made reality within two years.
"We did it by offering a wide variety of activities, including sports and non-sports activities," Grueser said. "We give folks a great value for their money and an ongoing variety of events. We have developed some close friendships as a result of the club and since my wife and I didn't know a single person when we moved here the club has been huge to us."
With football season under way, the Buckeye Club met Saturday at Jocks to watch three Ohio teams play: Ohio State beat Miami of Ohio, and Ohio University upset Penn State.
Phil Worley currently serves as president of the Buckeye Club and attended both OSU and Miami of Ohio. Worley said it was hard to pick a side for the season opener. Since OSU is banned from the bowl games and have Urban Meyer coaching, the team is back to a rebuilding stage, Worley said.
"I go way back so my favorite would have to be the Woody Hayes era," Worley said. "He had a temper, but he was a great football coach."
While the club does meet regularly to watch Ohio sports teams, the club also has many events that raise money for local charities.
"We support the charities not only financially but with manpower," Worley said. "We have many members who volunteer for the charities we partner with and Sun City residents really have the heart to help out."
On Sept. 15, the Buckeye Club will have a charity walk and pancake breakfast to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Independence Fund for Wounded Warriors. Last year, the club raised about $1,000 for each charity and Worley anticipates at least 200 people will participate again this year.
Other charities the club donates time and money to are Family Promise of Beaufort Couty, Ride 2 Recovery for Injured Veterans, Bluffton-Jasper County Volunteers in Medicine, Bluffton Historical Society and Lowcountry Legal Aid Volunteers.
"I look forward to supporting our greater Bluffton community through those groups," Grueser said. "We're an active group and always willing to help a worthy cause. We definitely turn work into play by making it fun."

STORY: The Christmas Ornament: When the father of his now-deceased best friend hints that he should consider his daughter as a potential wife, Lord James Crandall isn't sure he can get past the fact that he used to tease her mercilessly when she was just a girl. But once he finds out how brilliant her mind is, he's not sure he can get past the fact that she's a woman. Add in the fact that her charms have garnered the attentions of other gentlemen, Lord Crandall is in for quite the roller coaster Christmas.
Make a Joyful Noise: Widower Marquis Peter Chard is grateful for his two children, but not so grateful when his mother gives him the chore of recruiting people for the parish Christmas choir competition. When recently widowed and pregnant Rosie Wheatherby turns up with the voice of an angel and the looks to match, Lord Chard isn't about to let her get away from the choir . . . or his family.
An Object of Charity: Stuck on land while his ship is being repaired, Captain Michael Lynch is approached by his late first mate's niece and nephew. Learning they are destitute, he decides to take them home with him for the holidays, returning for the first time in 22 years ago. As he spends more time with them and unburdens his heart to the young woman, she replaces his hurt with love in time for a very special Christmas.
The Three Kings: After her brother is shot by the French in Spain, Lady Sarah Comstock is forced to travel across the war-torn countryside with a Spanish Colonel. As Christmas quickly approaches, Sarah learns about the Three Kings giving gifts to the Christ child and finds a gift of her own that she can share—her heart.
REVIEW: It's not really a Christmas if you don't read or re-read Carla Kelly Christmas story, and in this book you get four!
This is a reissue, so pay attention because you might own it already, and in that case, dig it out and reread it. It'll make you feel warm all over again…
All four blurbs are sufficient enough to give you a good hook to each story, so I'm skipping on summarizing them for you.
This collection of four short Christmas novellas is classic Carla Kelly and even though the stories are short, each one delivers on plot, pace and depth of characters. Each story is unique, heartwarming and sweet romance.
I adored the hero of the first one as he awkwardly approaches the woman he finally realizes is his equal and a love of his life.
Again in the second story, I just fell for the hero that 'fell' into his mother's scheme and found love in the most unexpected place.
The third story was a bit darker than the other three, and I rooted for the hero that finds himself as well as someone to love.
And in the last story, our heroine who is English finds out that she can love someone who is not. This story was fast moving with action, but it ended abruptly and it left me wanting.
Each of these stories has a bit of everything for everybody: romance, humor and what we all need for the Christmas season, faith in humanity and in our Savior.
Highly recommended!

A conversation with Adam Lasnik, Google's search evangelist
A conversation with Adam Lasnik, Google's search evangelist
DMNews: Your title at Google is "search evangelist." Can you explain what that means?
Adam Lasnik: I focus on Webmaster communications. The key components of that are helping to inform Webmasters, help them to understand what best practices are, what different events and aspects of Google mean to them, and to learn from Webmasters. I go out there to conferences and go online and get the feedback from them about what they would like to know about. Because I sit directly with engineers, I am able to directly take the feedback I get from Webmasters and turn it into actionable items, such as new tools or refined tools, or enhanced or refined documentation. My job is really a lot of communicating and a lot of listening. We consider Webmasters our partners and a really important part of what makes Google what it is.
DMNews: Since you are out talking to these folks, what are some trends you are seeing?
AL: One of the things I've been seeing that is really exciting is that search engine marketers and the Webmasters they work with are becoming much more involved in conversations online and offline.
If we look at the history of the Web, initially a lot of Webmasters and search engine marketers were focusing purely on broadcasting. They wanted to know how they could get what they have to say out to as many people as possible. But there is a whole lot of competition out there now. There are multiple sites that will help you find airline flights, and tons of sites that will help you find real estate. So how do you stand out in that massive fray?
So, what search engine marketers have been learning is that they really need to be not just speaking to people, but speaking with people that are on the Web. They understand that they need to be engaging with customers on those Web sites as well as reaching out to other sites around the Web such as social media sites. Participating in those conversations, answering questions and offering information has increased both awareness and interest in a lot of companies around the Web.
DMNews: Any other trends?
AL: Another trend that I wanted to mention is a focus on less deception and more of a user-centric focus. In the early days, sometimes we saw search engine marketers, particularly the less savvy ones, work with the Webmasters to try and, frankly, trick people and trick search engines. They would do things such as keyword stuffing, for instance, which occurs when a Web page is loaded with keywords in the content. This doesn't serve your users, and if they see this, they might be put off or annoyed. So we've seen a transition from what I would frame as deceptive practices to a user-centric focus.
We do have, for instance, a couple of documents in our "Help Center" called "Google Webmaster Guidelines" and "Creating a Google-Friendly Site."
The great things about these are that they are a reflection of user-friendly practices.
We've seen a greater attention to not only the user-centric focus but also to these Google guidelines that reflect what is involved in making pages that users like and users respect. When users appreciate these pages, they are more likely to come back, to visit the site, and share these pages with their friends on soil media sites like Digg and de.licio.us. All of that drives traffic and drives conversion.
DMNews: What tips can you offer SEO/SEM marketers?
AL: Here is a tip that I regularly offer to Webmasters — especially Webmasters that are also small business owners: Focus on your title tags and focus on your meta description tags. Those are both within the HTML of each document.

Knowledge Base
Even with a clear fundraising plan in place, nonprofits sometimes can find themselves temporarily short of cash, due to unforeseen circumstances like disasters or delays in payments.
The Foundation Center does not provide grants, recommend specific funders, or approach them on your behalf, but we can point you to resources to find possible funders and useful advice.
Here are some tips from consultants Tom Triplett and Alexis Cress:
- All hands on deck. Reach out to your former and current donors, suppliers, board members, and clients, through as many channels as possible (email, social media, web, phone, etc.). Tell them your situation, and ask them for help. Ask your board members to reach out to their contacts.
- Increase earned income. Raise prices on good/services. Sell "backroom" services that your nonprofit can provide for others, like office space, human resources, accounting, fiscal sponsorship, or consulting.
- Ask about discretionary funds. Some foundations allow senior staff to make small grants without having to go through the usual full application process. Call each of your current funders to see if this possibility exists.
- Ask about emergency loan/grant programs. Call your local United Way, community foundation, or Funding Information Network partner to learn if such funds exist in your area.
For more ideas of revenue sources that can be accessed quickly, usually within 30 days, see their article, "20 Emergency Funding Sources for Nonprofits".
Key points to remember:
- Use several methods to raise cash.
- Ask your current donors for help, and ask them to share your appeal with their networks.
- Give thanks and status updates to your supporters frequently.
- Revisit your org's finances - lower expenses, increase income, tweak business models, etc. - and communicate your new plans to your supporters to show how your org will avoid cash flow problems in the future.

text: I've been into bikes for 30 yrs but this is my 1st BMW. I have an 88 rs w/ 54k miles. It presently has a blue springed Koni shock which feels like it's pretty tapped out. Not sure if these are rebuildable or even should be? I put new steering head bearings in it last week as the originals were down right dangerous! The steering was rather spooky before. We're still socked in w/ winter in VT and I'd like to get things sorted out before spring. I'm about 180lbs and do mostly solo riding if that info is needed? Looking forward to chatting w/ you folks and delving into the boxer world. Thx

Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
I liked the part where they were naked.
My gf moved into my house several months ago and it's been nice. I have a nice pool in a private backyard surrounded by trees on a quiet cul de sac. We like to swim naked quite a bit. One Sat afternoon, she was out shopping with one of her gfs and I was swimming nude when they came back. My gf stripped off her clothes and jumped in, her friend just looked at us. My gf told her if she wanted to join, then come on. She stripped down and jumped in too. We got more into the shallow end and started rubbing around on each other. My gf put my dick between her gf's legs and told her "if you want it, wrap your arms around his neck"... which she did. My gf then slid my dick inside her friend's pussy and she wrapped her legs around my waist. After a good fuck, my gf wanted her turn. Favors were returned. Both women also like a bit of woman on woman as well, so it was a great afternoon. We've been doing this now for the past few months... every weekend.
Extremely Fucking Hot. I do one of this and I can die in peace.
Anyone knows the Blond's name??

12 Anastasia CANNUSCIO / Colin MCMANUS USA
My predictions:
Men -
1.) Jason Brown
2.) Max Aaron
3.) Takuya Kondoh
I'm not too familiar with most of the male competitors but from what I have seen of the two Americans going, they seem pretty strong.
Ladies -
1.) Polina Shelepen
2.) Anna Ovcharova
3.) Yasmin Siraj
I think these will likely be the medalists, with the possibility of Nina Jiang or Yretha Silete medaling, but I'm less sure about the order. Last I heard Polina Shelepen was injured, but if she's back in form with 3-3s intact, she'll be tough to beat, Yasmin hasn't been the most consistent with her jumps this season but was fantastic at nationals in the winter and could surprise and win it all, Anna I haven't heard much about recently so I don't know how her condition is or how her jumps are looking, if she's added a 3-3 to her arsenal, etc - that being said, if she's having an on night I think she could definitely win gold here.
Not so sure about pairs and dance.


text: I don't understand why so many people are having difficulties accepting tobi is obito. First of all people complain about the plotholes. Well much of obito's history is still unexplained, so of course there will be questions. Secondly how is it so hard for people to understand him being powerful enough to go against minato? Look at what naruto has done in a year. Lastly look at sasuke when it comes to obito going evil, and besides, he's trying to bring peace, albeit in a rather twisted way.

I am planning a trip to Las Vegas for the last week of September 2012. It is easy to look up specific city weather but I am wondering about the roads to/from Las Vegas from the east (Ontario).
I am worried about the early snow or other hazardous risks (freezing rain / ice) at the higher altitudes. If I come in/out on Interstate 40 through Amarillo (Tx) / Albuquerque (NM)/ Flagstaff (Az) will I have any problems?
I may take other routes at the time but as long as there is a 'safe' route I will be happy.

About Minecraft
Minecraft is a sandbox construction game, inspired by Infiniminer, Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper, created by Markus Persson, the founder of Mojang AB. The game involves players creating and destroying various types of blocks in a three-dimensional environment. The player takes on an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations, and artwork, on multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds across multiple game modes.
Minecraft is available to players for €19.95. Singleplayer and multiplayer, when purchased, can be played in the user's web browser, or using the downloadable launcher. Minecraft Classic is available to play for free. Minecraft development started around the 10th of May 2009, and pre-orders for the full game started being accepted on the 13th of June 2009. Minecraft's official release date was the 18th of November 2011. On the 5th of May 2012, Minecraft was released for the Xbox 360 on Xbox Live Arcade for 1600 Microsoft Points ($20.00), where it soon shattered all previous sales records.

Returning scholarships TBs: Tre Madden, Javorius Allen, Justin Davis, Ty Isaac, D.J. Morgan
Gone: Silas Redd
Breakdown: What a year it was for USC tailbacks. Redd, Madden and Davis all missed a big part of the season because of injuries, and the star-crossed Morgan still can't stay healthy at all. For a big chunk of the season, the Trojans used Isaac and Allen, who entered the season as No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, on their season-opening depth chart. It worked out just fine, mostly because Allen became the surprise player of the 2013 squad and the team MVP. This is an exceedingly deep and talented group for 2014. USC has power runners in Madden and Isaac and some speed and agility with Allen and Davis. Any one of those four could be a legitimate starter on a strong team, so it will be curious to see how USC manages the carries next season, especially in its new offensive system. Don't forget about Davis. He vanished from the radar after he broke his ankle against Notre Dame, but in the weeks before that, he looked to be one of the most talented freshman tailbacks in the country.
Returning walk-ons: Alec Jaffe, James Toland, Taylor Ross

"This is not another disc of Dr John tinkling the ivories and crooning standards and witty ditties in that inimitable growl; it serves up slabs of sixties funk served with a brimming side dish of voodoo and psychedelic guitar, and laces faith-referencing tunes like 'Kingdom of Izzness' and 'God's Sure Good' with soaring gospel backing vocals."Boston Herald
"Auerbach has surrounded the pianist with spooky-sultry female backing singers, brooding horns, and occasional patina of jungle noises, and his own astringent blues guitar. With Dr. John's epigrammatic boho-hipster lyrics sketching contemporary social travails'Economy, conning me out of my sanity'; 'Religious delusions, stone confusion' etcover a psych-funk gumbo of staccato organ and electric piano, the result is a dark, steamy sound that comes crawling from the Louisiana swamp like a mean-tempered 'gator."The Independent

I bought a cheap receiver with speakers combo two days ago this one to be exact.
I have the HTPC hooked up by HDMI, but the sound actually has to be separate, so that is hooked up by spdif. the cable box is your normal red/white/yellow connection. The problem I am having is that I get a distinct buzzing sound when I watch cable, but no such buzzing when using the HTPC. Any ideas what could be causing this? Would the cables be a culprit for this? I don't want to spend more money if I don't have to.
