As a result, the line's completion most likely will be delayed by two years, Mayor Stephen Mandel told local media.
"By the time we get all the funding in place, I think 2020 or 2021 is reasonable," Mandell said. Mandell expects project funding to be available.
Edmonton already has committed C$800 million to C$1.8 billion first phase of the line to Mill Woods, matched by C$235 million from Alberta's Green Trip transit program and C$250 million from federal sources. Additional funding for the next extension, from Mill Woods to Ellerslie, is now on hold.
Construction of the southeast Valley Line was originally scheduled to begin in 2015, with selection of a design-build-operate-maintain (DBOM) private contractor originally planned for next month.
Edmonton Light Rail Transit was the first North American modern LRT system to open, debuting April 22, 1978.

Holly Madison Marries Pasquale Rotella in Disneyland
Former 'Girl Next Door' Holly Madison had a glitzy engagement on top of a ferris wheel in Las Vegas, and she just had a magical wedding to match at Disneyland in California.
Madison wed baby daddy and fiance Pasquale Rotella yesterday (Sept. 10) in Disneyland in an event that included 150 guests. Fellow 'Girl Next Door' Bridget Marquardt and former Playboy model Lara Croft acted as bridesmaids.
Madison confirmed her upcoming nuptials on her CeleBuzz blog, which included a snap of her and Pasquale holding their marriage certificate.
"We did it!" she wrote with the accompanying the snap. "Last wedding prep item taken off the checklist — we went and got our marriage license this morning."
The couple have been dating since 2011 and were in engaged in June of this year, and have one child together (a daughter) — the interestingly named Rainbow Aurora.


text: So at puppy class when play time came around Talon failed. >_< He is right in between weight for big dog group or small dog group. I was a bit nervous about the big dogs and thought since he plays with Art well he would do best in the small dog group. So I put him in with the small dog group. He failed though, he just tackled/bullied the small dogs to no end. I guess they do not = Art lol We had to take him out for time outs twice before removing him completely as he was just being a jerk. He also spent half the time he was in there looking for treats and pushing dogs out of the way if he thought they found a treat. ERG So last week we missed class because the dogs were so sick. So this week we have class again and I'm wondering if I shouldn't put him in with the big dogs? He is also very movement reactive. If the dogs run he will chase and nip at them. Any suggestions? I know this is a very common herder trait, our instructor also tried to reassure us it was a common herding dog trait and to try to distract him. Problem is he can't have treats when playing with other dogs or he get's a bit possesive. Also, he went to the dog park this morning as he was bouncing off the walls and we've been meaning to check it out anyways. So it was their reward for feeling better lol He did GREAT! He was not a bully at all! There wasn't a ton of people, but there was a large lab/pit mix, a little lab mix puppy about his size, a boston terrier puppy (very small), a little terrier mix, a standard poodle, a large lab mix, and a people and kids lol When he initially came in he went and met the other dogs with no issues. Well, his hackles went up a little but he quickly calmed down. I think it was more excitment than anything else. The lab/pit mix tried to hump him more than once (the owner stopped it immediatly each time, and distracted the dog, A+ owner lol) and he didn't over react! He once told the dog to stop by snapping at him but then he was friends with it aas long as it didn't hump him. He loved the lab mix puppy as it was just his size. That puppy was perfect for him to play with and they romped and tackled and played super well. Oh, here's a short video, sorry it's crappy and I just keep talking >_< Also, this was the only time he got tackled by the puppy and he wasn't fond of it, but that was the only "problem." Not a big deal, he had fun again after lol So basically, puppy class = horrible evil dog. dog park = perfect playful dog. So now I'm dreading puppy class a bit. blah, any suggestions on how to make him more comfortable playing with the dogs at puppy class and not be such a jerk?

One person starts (the Dealer) by placing the top card of his/her deck in the center of the group face up. The person to the left does the same. If there is a link (same suite or same face value) those people drink. If the next person has a link with the other 2 they all drink the face value of their card etc.
By the end everyone has probably linked. I've played with 8 people before and everyone was linked somehow and of course drunk off their ass!

What Are Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancers?
Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas of the body. To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?
Oral cavity cancer, or just oral cancer, is cancer that starts in the mouth (also called the oral cavity). Oropharyngeal cancer starts in the oropharynx, which is the part of the throat just behind the mouth. To understand these cancers, it helps to know the parts of the mouth and throat.
The oral cavity (mouth) and oropharynx (throat)
The oral cavity includes the lips, the inside lining of the lips and cheeks (buccal mucosa), the teeth, the gums, the front two-thirds of the tongue, the floor of the mouth below the tongue, and the bony roof of the mouth (hard palate). The area behind the wisdom teeth (called the retromolar trigone) can be included as a part of the oral cavity, although it is often considered part of the oropharynx.
The oropharynx is the part of the throat just behind the mouth. It begins where the oral cavity stops. It includes the base of the tongue (the back third of the tongue), the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth), the tonsils, and the side and back wall of the throat.
The oral cavity and oropharynx help you breathe, talk, eat, chew, and swallow. Minor salivary glands throughout the oral cavity and oropharynx make saliva that keeps your mouth moist and helps you digest food.
The different parts of the oral cavity and oropharynx are made up of several types of cells. Different cancers can develop from each type of cell. The differences are important, because they can influence a person's treatment options and prognosis (outlook).
Cancers can also start in other parts of the throat, but these cancers aren't discussed in this document:
- Cancers of the nasopharynx (the part of the throat behind the nose and above the oropharynx) are discussed in the American Cancer Society document Nasopharyngeal Cancer.
- Cancers that start in the larynx (voice box) or the hypopharynx (the part of the throat below the oropharynx) are discussed in the American Cancer Society document Laryngeal & Hypopharyngeal Cancer.
Tumors and growths in the oral cavity and oropharynx
Many types of tumors (abnormal growths of cells) can develop in the oral cavity and oropharynx. They fit into 3 general categories:
- Benign or non-cancerous growths that do not invade other tissues and do not spread to other parts of the body.
- Harmless growths that can later develop into cancer. These are known as pre-cancerous conditions.
- Cancerous tumors that can grow into surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
Benign (non-cancerous) tumors
Many types of benign tumors and tumor-like conditions can start in the mouth or throat:
- Eosinophilic granuloma
- Fibroma
- Granular cell tumor
- Keratoacanthoma
- Leiomyoma
- Osteochondroma
- Lipoma
- Schwannoma
- Neurofibroma
- Papilloma
- Condyloma acuminatum
- Verruciform xanthoma
- Pyogenic granuloma
- Rhabdomyoma
- Odontogenic tumors (tumors that start in tooth-forming tissues)
These non-cancerous tumors start from different kinds of cells and have a variety of causes. Some of them may cause problems, but they are not likely to be life-threatening. The usual treatment for these types of tumors is surgery to remove them completely since they are unlikely to recur (come back).
Leukoplakia and erythroplakia (possible pre-cancerous conditions)
Leukoplakia and erythroplakia are terms used to describe certain types of abnormal tissue that can be seen in the mouth or throat:
- Leukoplakia is a white or gray patch.
- Erythroplakia is a flat or slightly raised, red area that often bleeds easily if it is scraped.
- Erythroleukoplakia is a patch with both red and white areas.
Your dentist or dental hygienist may be the first person to spot these white or red areas. They may be a cancer, they may be a pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia, or they could be a relatively harmless condition.
Dysplasia is graded as mild, moderate, or severe, based on how abnormal the tissue looks under the microscope. Knowing the degree of dysplasia helps predict how likely it is to progress to cancer or to go away on its own or after treatment. For example, severe dysplasia is more likely to become a cancer, while mild dysplasia is more likely to go away completely.
The most frequent causes of leukoplakia and erythroplakia are smoking and chewing tobacco. Poorly fitting dentures that rub against the tongue or the inside of the cheeks can also cause these conditions. But sometimes, there may be no obvious cause. Dysplasia will often go away if the cause is removed.
A biopsy is the only way to know for certain if an area of leukoplakia or erythroplakia contains dysplastic (pre-cancerous) cells or cancer cells. For a biopsy, a sample of tissue from the abnormal area is removed and then looked at under the microscope. But other tests may be used first to help determine if they might be cancers (and therefore will need a biopsy) or to choose the best area to sample for a biopsy. These tests are described in the section Can Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancers Be Found Early?
Most cases of leukoplakia do not develop into cancer. But some leukoplakias are either cancerous when first found or have pre-cancerous changes that can eventually progress to cancer if not properly treated.
Erythroplakia and erythroleukoplakia are less common but are usually more serious. Most of these red lesions turn out to be cancer when they are biopsied or will develop into cancer later.
However, it is important to note that most oral cancers do not develop from pre-existing lesions (either leukoplakia or erythroplakia).
Oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers
Several types of cancers can start in the mouth or throat.
Squamous cell carcinomas
More than 90% of cancers of the oral cavity and oropharynx are squamous cell carcinomas, also called squamous cell cancers. These cancers begin in early forms of squamous cells, which are flat, scale-like cells that normally form the lining of the mouth and throat.
The earliest form of squamous cell cancer is called carcinoma in situ, meaning that the cancer cells are present only in the outer layer of cells called the epithelium. This is different from invasive squamous cell carcinoma, where the cancer cells have grown into deeper layers of the oral cavity or oropharynx.
Verrucous carcinoma
Verrucous carcinoma is a type of squamous cell carcinoma that makes up less than 5% of all oral cancers. It is a low-grade (slow growing) cancer that rarely spreads to other parts of the body, but it can grow deeply into surrounding tissue.
If they are not treated, areas of ordinary squamous cell cancer may develop within some verrucous carcinomas. Some verrucous carcinomas may already have areas of ordinary squamous cell cancer that are not recognized in the biopsy sample. Cells from these areas of squamous cell carcinoma may then spread to other parts of the body.
For all of these reasons, verrucous carcinomas should be removed promptly, along with a wide margin of surrounding normal tissue.
Minor salivary gland carcinomas
Minor salivary gland cancers can develop in the glands in the lining of the mouth and throat. There are several types of minor salivary gland cancers, including adenoid cystic carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma. For more information about these cancers and benign salivary gland tumors, see the American Cancer Society document Salivary Gland Cancer.
The tonsils and base of the tongue contain immune system (lymphoid) tissue, where cancers called lymphomas can start. For more information about these cancers, see the American Cancer Society documents Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children, and Hodgkin Disease.
The information in the rest of this document about oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer covers only squamous cell carcinoma.

Please dump this, please.
(wow i actually posted something football related) my first in a while
The players added to the roster are running back Decori Birmingham and guard Kevin McAlmont. The team waived offensive lineman Tony Tella.
Birmingham, 5-10 and 210 pounds, was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by New England on April 29, 2005 and waived by the Patriots on July 22. He was signed by the Jets on Aug. 9 and waived on Aug. 27. Birmingham was signed by the San Francisco 49ers on Jan. 5, 2006 and waived on March 24.
At Arkansas, he played in 49 games with 14 starts. Birmingham rushed for 1,151 yards and seven touchdowns on 233 attempts and caught 57 passes for 592 yards and six scores. He also set a school record with 1,321 career kickoff return yards. Birminghams 3,610 all-purpose yards ranked fifth in Arkansas history.
Birmingham played in every game as a senior in 2004, starting five at flanker and three at tailback. He finished the season with 111 carries for 456 yards and three touchdowns and caught 17 passes for 175 yards and a score. Birmingham started his junior season at flanker before moving to tailback and rushed for 549 yards and three touchdowns and caught 17 passes for 186 yards and two scores. As a sophomore in 2002, he played in 14 games with four starts and caught 17 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns and was 3rd in the SEC with a 12.2-yard punt return average on 28 returns.
Birmingham was an all-state selection as a junior after rushing for 2,000 yards at Atlanta (Tex.) High School. As a senior, he rushed for 1,063 yards and 13 touchdowns in only five games. He missed four games with an injury. Birmingham was born on Nov. 22, 1982.
McAlmont, 6-1 and 320, played in 37 games with 29 starts at Western Carolina. He started his career as a defensive tackle before moving to the offensive line two games into his sophomore year. McAlmont started 29 of his last 30 games at left guard. As a senior in 2005, he started all eight games in which he played and was named second team All-Southern Conference by the leagues coaches. McAlmont started all 11 games as a junior and nine of 12 as a sophomore.
In addition to being an outstanding football player, McAlmont excelled in track & field. In 2005, he finished fourth in the weight throw in the SoCon Indoor Championships with a toss of 5111. He helped WCU win the 2004 SoCon Indoor Championship by finishing seventh in the weight throw. During the outdoor season, he participated in the hammer, shot put and discus.
McAlmont starred at Creekside High School in Union City, Ga., where he was an All-South Metro Atlanta selection and a member of the National Honor Society. He was born on July 24, 1984.
The Macon Knights Front Office announced today that OL/DL Kevin McAlmont was signed by the New York Giants just two days after his first game with the team.
"We are very happy for Kevin; he is a great talent and proved that you can make the jump from arenafootball2 to the NFL. The Knights Organization wish him the best of luck in his career," said Assistant Head Coach and Line Coach Randy Leindecker.
McAlmont played with the Knights during their 55-42 victory over the South Georgia Wildcats Saturday night and then flew to New York Sunday morning for a tryout. He impressed the Giants enough that they offered him a contract the very next day.
The Knights (3-6) return home this week to face the Arkansas Twisters (6-3). The Knights will be looking to win two games in a row and their second game at home this season. The Knights will also be giving away a race weekend package, including hotel and race passes, for the Pepsi 400 in Daytona. You may register at the game and two contestants will be drawn to compete at halftime for the prize.
Please dump this, please.

Effectiveness of vegetated filter stripsin retention of E. coli and salmonella from swine manure slurry. Environmental Management. 110:1-7. Interpretive Summary: Fecal contamination of surface water resources from animal manure application to agricultural fields is a critical water quality issue, leading to many recent health and environmental concerns. Vegetated filter strips (VFS) are commonly recommended as a best management practice to prevent manure-borne microorganisms from reaching surface water resources. However, relatively little is known about VFS mitigating effectiveness. A field lysimeter study was designed to specifically evaluate the effect of vegetation buffer, compared to bare soil condition, on the retention of swine manure-borne E. coli and Salmonella under various rainfall conditions. Results demonstrate the potential for VFS to mitigate bacterial runoff from swine organic waste sources. No substantial differences were observed in retention of E. coli and Salmonella. Very low bacterial retention was observed in bare plots whereas vegetated plots showed high retention capacity. However, our findings also demonstrated that the effectiveness of VFS can vary dramatically depending on the amount of rainfall required to saturate the VFS, time required for runoff initiation from manured fields, and development of the subsurface flow in VFS. Consequently, VFS recommendations should account for specific soil surface hydrology characteristics such as shallow and fluctuating near surface water table as well as the relative soil storage capacity of the VFS in dictating the filter strips moisture conditions.
Technical Abstract: Vegetated filter strips (VFS) are commonly recommended as a best management practice to prevent manure-borne microorganisms from reaching surface water resources. However, relatively little is known about the efficacy of VFS in mitigating bacterial runoff from land-applied swine manure. Experimental plots (6.5 m x 3.9 m) were set on a 5% slope lysimeter with loamy topsoil, clay loam or loam subsoil and a controllable groundwater level. Three small flow-intercepting miniflumes were installed 4.5 m from the plot's top, while all remaining runoff was collected in a gutter at the bottom. Plots were divided into bare soil or grass vegetation and upper surface soil moisture before rainfall events was controlled by the subsurface groundwater level. Swine manure slurry inoculated with E. coli and Salmonella, and with added bromide tracer, was applied on the top of the plots and simultaneously initiated the simulated rainfall. Runoff was collected and analyzed every 5 min. No substantial differences between retention of E. coli and Salmonella were found. In initially wet soil surface conditions, there was limited infiltration both in bare and in vegetated plots; almost all bromide and about 30% of bacteria were recovered in runoff water. In initially dry soil surface conditions, there were substantial discrepancies between bare and vegetated plots. In bare plots, recoveries of runoff water, bromide and bacteria under dry conditions were comparable to wet conditions. However, in dry vegetated plots, from 50% to 75% of water was lost to infiltration, while bromide recoveries ranged from14 to 36% and bacteria recovery was only 5%. Substantial intraplot heterogeneity was revealed by the data from miniflumes. GIS analysis of the plot microtopography showed that miniflumes located in the zones of flow convergence collected the majority of bacteria. Overall, the efficiency of vegetated filter strips, with respect to the retention of swine manure bacteria, varied dramatically depending upon the hydrologic soil surface condition. Consequently, VFS recommendations should account for expected amounts of surface soil water saturation as well as the relative soil water storage capacity of the VFS.

Bill Laimbeer, one of the "Bad Boys'' of the Pistons in the 1980s and early 1990s, has been hired to be coach and general manager of the Liberty.
Laimbeer, who won three WNBA titles as coach of the Detroit Shock from 2002-2009, had just been hired last month as a Timberwolves assistant coach under Kurt Rambis.
Former Knicks president Isiah Thomas met last month with Garden owner James Dolan during a business meeting at a Midtown hotel, The Post reported. It's unclear if Thomas and Dolan spoke about the possibility of Thomas taking over the Liberty, who are run by the Garden, or if Laimbeer's name came up. At the time, Thomas was strongly in the running for an ESPN studio analyst role but he didn't get it.
Thomas interviewed Laimbeer, his Pistons teammate, in 2005 for the Knicks' head-coaching job. Laimbeer nearly got it, until the club learned Larry Brown would be interested after the Pistons' playoff run.
"We're excited to have Bill Laimbeer join the New York Liberty as our general manager and head coach," Knicks' assistant GM Allan Houston, who oversees the Liberty, said in a press release. "He has brought his winning pedigree and passion to the WNBA and I believe he will play a large role in bringing a championship to the Liberty.''
Laimbeer replaces John Whisenant, who went 34-34 in his two seasons as head coach. The Liberty missed the playoffs last year and were knocked out in Round 1 this past season.

You should cash in your medals and spread your earnings around...otherwise I have no respect for you!
Oh...I almost forgot.
Your gold medal will cost you $9,000 in taxes.
article >>> Web Link
Original post made by Democrat Mindset, Amador Estates, on Aug 1, 2012
Not to worry folks. My legion of tax attorneys have assured me that since most of the Olympians are living off scholarships or their parents' earnings, their $9000.00 gold medals will likely to amount to a total income earning of $9000.00.
Now, we don't know at which rate they'll be taxed; nor will we be able to examine their tax returns. And they can always find a shelter for the medals in Swiss or Cayman Island bank accounts. That's why I have a $400,000.00 horse in the Olympics, all of which can be written off on my tax statements. Thank YOU fellow Americans for supplementing my patriotism!
But why should any of this be a relevant matter? It's all cultural, after all by golly.
Mitt --- Gaffe-free intelligence without teleprompters.
Oh Honey... since we are running a little short on campaign funds... that $5k donation you made to our campaign won't go very far (I did think you were very cute typing on that laptop though) and we are not getting much action on the forego the wedding gift for a campaign donation idea ... I say we "recommend" that each Olympian donate their medals to the campaign (since it's not theirs anyway)and we will give them a $9000 tax credit ... I'll keep coming up with great ideas ... Love Me
I for one am very proud to be a tax paying sponsor of our soon to be President Mitt Romney's horse in the Olympics. I think $400,000.00 of tax payer money is a small price to pay for Mr. Romney's patriotic fervor. Heck, if his horse wins, I'll gladly pay the tax on his gold medal. Guys like our future President should never have to pay any taxes at all. They're better than us.
Just because our tax money is totally financing Mr. Romney's horse (the entire horse earns a 400,000.00 tax write-off), I think it is a fair thing to say that, if the horse wins, Mr. Romney did it on his own. Because in the Olympic horse business, money doesn't mean anything at all.
Not a big problem, actually.
My son was able to deduct the much higher amount of money that went into everything that got him there.
Mittens supporter---not just better, smarter.
Yes, as studies have recently demonstrated, my economic plan indicates that I believe a lot of you are pretty gosh darn dumb. As in: Hey, let's make sure the lower 50% of pop pays MORE taxes while Mitt and his cronies pay LESS! But my advisors have assured me there are enough of you dumb voters out there for me to carry the election.
Mitt -- Take his word for it because he cares about you almost as much as he cares about himself. Well, not quite almost.
Spoiler alert, my friends! My horse has not won a medal in the dressage competition at the Olympics. Ann was there. I wasn't because I didn't want middle-class Americans thinking I'm a rich scuzball who takes 400k of taxpayer money to enter a horse in the Olympics. Maybe I should have been there. But this is mostly my wife's passion, not my own, and hence it really isn't very important to me. (Hey -- heh-heh -- when you don't let the little lady work outside of the house, you have to give them SOMEthing to do!)
You forgot to mention Dudley Do-Right's magic happy underpants which has enabled him to avoid paying any taxes over a ten year period. Oh, and an economic plan that robs the poor in order to give the rich additional tax breaks. It's a cultural thing, I'm sure. I wish I had my own magic happy underpants so that I didn't have to pay taxes over the next ten years. Maybe Mr. Mittens will spread some of the God-fearing, misogynist, racist, homophobic, polygamist good stuff around. We could all use some more of that. But have no fear, the Obama Communist Kenyanists won't have anything to find on our guy this time around.
Hey, is there any real PROOF that Obama his Lordship even went to Columbia or Harvard? And HOW MANY official birth certificates DOES he have? And why didn't we ever imprison his Marxist father for reading the Communist Manifesto? What about the Indonesian mosque guy, Obama's propagandist when he was attending Muslim school, who has stated in public that America is a jingoist nation? Why hasn't Obama droned this guy in his tracks? And what about the hundreds of thousands of illegal voters ACORN got registered to vote when Obama was at its helm? And what about his tax returns? Has he ever shown anybody any of them? What kind of a sleezeball would hide that?
Mr. mittens really has a thing about horses. It all makes sense now, since his contributions resemble the byproducts that eminate from the south end of a horse.
This time it's sexist comments about Mitt's wife, as though she had done something wrong. Classy, mittens, really, really classy.
Mr Mittens, I was not aware that the "lower 50%" (your words) paid any taxes at all. Maybe its time they start.
We must all beware of the scum that comes from liberal disease.
Such lies show her ignorance.... the horse is not Mitts but his wife and grandmother of his grandchildren.
Now, jackie Kennedy was BORN a rich princess on her show horse, that followed her to the white house. People thought that was so classy and brought such dignity to the white house. People just couldn't get enough of her glamour. Shouldn't working people who actually EARNED their OWN money be able to enjoy things in later life ?? Oh, right you know nothing about fairness, objectivity, ... petty political topics you are instructed to hammer...class envy. So Anti-American.
Golly, I am so proud of my supporters!
Fact: Princess Jackie Kennedy entered her horse in the Olympics and did it at taxpayer expense.
Fact: $400,000.00 is what Princess Jackie drew from tax payers in order to get her horse up to speed.
Fact: We don't know much about this because Princess John never attended the Olympics or any other such silly stuff his wife did. There are important things, after all, and then there's the silly stuff the little wife does.
Fact: Libs didn't vote for Kennedy because of class envy, and that's what explains why so mahy of the liberal diseased ones won't vote for me.
Mitt -- Loves the American people so much that he will do whatever it takes to capture political office. A businessman, not a leader. He'll take political decision making behind closed doors. Why is he so successful? His culture is more advanced than Obama's.
Dem horses, good
Republican horses, bad
Mitt, a businessman not a leader
Obama, neither a businessman, nor a leader. An uncultured poser. The campaigner in chief. A one termed, competing with jimmy carter as worst president ever. Time to start building those habitat for humanity houses.........maybe he'll learn something about humanity outside of his posse.
Mitt Romney isn't really a Mormon. He's an atheist who only went along with his father's faith so he could duck the Vietnam draft. He didn't actually try to convert anyone when he was in France either. In reality, he spent all his time in Monte Carlo gambling and buying high-end hookers. When his daddy found out what he was doing, he made him come home and marry his high school sweetheart. Actually, he only made him marry her after the second time she got pregnant. The first time, they got an abortion. Then Romney started using some of the mafia connections he had made in Marseilles to import heroin. By the time he became governor, they were flying it straight into a secret airport they set up in the Berkshires. When one of the pilots started to talk, Romney had him killed.
Rumors, rumors, so many rumors. First of all, Ann and I have NOT sent our horse to the glue factory after its poor showing at the Olympics, $400,000.00 in expenses paid for by the American public.
Second, I can assure you that Harry Reid is a big fat liar. If he wants to prove his claim, all he has to do is release my tax returns. End of story. But he won't, because he's a liar and a coward. Now, being a liar is no big deal, I can assure you for gosh sakes. But Reid being a coward by not releasing my tax returns? Shameless. What's he afraid of?
Mitt -- Loves dogs, horses, and the American taxpayers who pay his taxes.
Seems to me that Mitt takes itsy bitsy steps to get from place to place...I laugh every time I see him truck...itsy bitsy steps...yup, that's the mitt!
Maybe he has a corn cub stuck up all way up in there?
If you had been a Vietnam War hero who had been severely wounded, you'd also be walking like you had a severe case of hemoroids. Here I wish to point out that my opponent, like you, and unlike so many patriotic Americans, never served in Vietnam.
Mitt --- Never lies to the people, unless it's necessary.

Dear Steve,
Congratulations to AIM volunteers for the welcoming efforts to gather 2,197 of >3100 signatures from Alamo neighborhoods. Neighbors have stepped forward to become the majority in the incorporation effort to insure that the Alamo Region is provided complete information on incorporation and not AIM PR that continues its omissions, misstatements and misrepresentation of FACT.
Your commentary on Phil Erickson's points did not explain or deny the validity of his position. As proposed, an autonomous city government led solely by five city council members without obligation to citizen participation in planning of city structure, operations, land-use, infrastructure, and services does not serve Alamo neighborhoods and residents and is nothing less than another layer of uncontrollable government among federal, state, county, and district aggregation of political power.

Alamo's leadership culture within community groups has for years tried to make fools out of those that oppose their special interests. As you read the commentary by Alamo Incorporation Movement committee members since May 2007, repeatedly the goal is to make opposition appear ignorant and out of touch with reality.
It is clear that this leadership culture is a very small minority in Alamo and is attempting to use remaining political influence to design a city government around their continuing control. Each time an individual steps forward to provide another viewpoint, the leadership approach is to label that individual ignorant, discount their relationships within our community, and make them somehow an enemy of Alamo's future.
Our neighborhoods and residents have had years of trying to get our voices heard in the AIA, SRV YMCA, SRVUSD and county agencies' committees. Our efforts and voices have been ignored and only the special interests of the few in leadership emerged. Let's not let that result be repeated in city government led by an autonomous city council. WE can have broad community involvement and citizen-led planning for our vision of Alamo's future.
Post your opinion and set your plans for Alamo's future! But do it carefully. Use an identity that does not let Alamo's leadership attack you personally and make them deal with the issues you present.
Take charge, Neighbors,

Watch out Alamo...Don't do it!!Don't become another Danville! I grew up in Alamo in the 70/80's and watched Danville become the big city. Danville lost it's charm...Alamo...Don't do it! Trust your A.I.A. they have done well for decades. Don't become a city...just look at your neighbors...It's bad enough that Alamo has become so overbuilt...don't ask for more! Long live the A.I.A.!!

Thank you, Doug Conrad, for pointing to a community resource that deserves renovation and inclusion in the majority interests of Alamo. The Alamo Improvement Association (AIA), in its present form, represents a small minority of residences in Alamo and is operated by generous, capable volunteers that do not have connection to the majority of residents in the Alamo Region.
Neighborhoods, in alliance, have recommended a Neighborhoods Committee within the AIA and expansion of the AIA into an affective political and planning voice for the Alamo Region. It is the belief of the neighborhoods that the AIA membership should be increased to a majority of Alamo residences and the charter of the AIA expanded to proactive political representation, via retained counsel, with governments including the county and SRVUSD.
Most importantly, the AIA, as currently led, is too closely tied to a very small minority within community groups that comprise Alamo Incorporation Movement (AIM) participants and supporters. Our forum of neighborhood representatives do not believe that AIM represents the incorporation interests and proposal of the majority of Alamo residents and AIA should not be closely linked to such minority activities and viewpoint.
Thus, we agree! A rejuvenated and expanded AIA is appropriate to be the public voice of Alamo.

A judge ruled has ruled for the second time that a Loogootee teen charged with murder is fit to stand trial.
At a hearing in Fayette County Circuit Court on Thursday afternoon, Judge Michael McHaney denied a motion by attorneys for Clifford Baker to reconsider an earlier ruling on Baker's fitness for trial.
Both Abby and Molly Hill of St. Elmo High School were eliminated from the state meet during the preliminaries of the discus throw.
Molly, who was one of just two freshman in discus, had a throw of 97 feet, 4 inches.
Abby, a senior, threw 88 feet, 11 inches.
The shortest distance that qualified for the finals was 116 feet, 1 inch, which is better than both Hills' personal-best.
Three area teams will play for regional championships on Saturday morning.
The second-seeded South Central High School baseball team will face top-seeded North Clay at 11 a.m. in Kinmundy. The Cougars advanced after defeating St. Elmo in a 1-0 pitcher's duel on Wednesday.
The difference-maker was a solo home run by Larry Schoreck.
Senior Derek Harmeier will start for the Cougars, as they look to win their sixth straight regional title. North Clay had a slow start against Brownstown in the semifinals before prevailing 14-4 on Wednesday.
Four years ago, Matt Hoffman had an admittedly ugly curveball.
"I didn't even have a curveball when I was a freshman," the Vandalia senior said. "It was just a big hanger and wasn't good."
His freshman season was when he first began working on a curveball with then-Legion coach Steve Hosick, and since then, he has developed a big breaking ball that has fooled several hitters this season.
Against South Central last month, the right-handed hurler had 12 strikeouts, and the majority of them came via the curve.
ROBINSON – Sisters Abby and Molly Hill this week will represent St. Elmo at the state track meet in Charleston after placing first and second in the discus throw at last Friday's sectional meet.
Abby, a senior, placed first, with a throw of 108 feet, 2 inches, and Molly, a freshman, was right behind, with a throw of 102 feet, 2 inches.
"I'm really excited that we are going back to state," said coach Travis Redden. "It's great to have the sisters going, because there is a lot of camaraderie between the two."
PANA – Through on-and-off drizzling rains and chilly temperatures, the Vandalia Junior High boys and girls track teams combined to qualify seven athletes for this weekend's Illinois Elementary School Association Class AA state meet in Peoria.
Eighth-graders qualifying were:
•Luke Hollinshead (shot put)
•Ryan Bayles (long jump)
•Ben Strobel (1,600-meter run)
•Allie Holtmann (high jump)
•Johanna Walton (high jump)
The Lady Vandals ended their season on Monday with an 11-1 loss to Carlyle in the regional tournament, but that does not diminish the accomplishments the team achieved throughout the season.
Vandalia set a new school record with 17 wins, besting the previous record by two, and a victory against Hillsboro in the regular-season finale last Friday gave the Lady Vandals a share of the South Central Conference East Division for the first time since 2003.
ROBINSON – No one from Vandalia's girls track qualified for the state meet at last Friday's sectional, but several individuals and relays had personal-best times, leaving coach Mike Travelstead satisfied at the end of his final meet as a coach.
"I'm jumping up and down," he said. "I got pretty excited that they were getting their best times and marks."
The 4X800-meter relay team of sophomore Wade Cowger, sophomore Ryan Ambuehl, junior Quenten Austin and senior Daniel Bell set a new school record last Thursday during a meet at Hillsboro.
The quartet ran the race in 8:52.34 (fully-automatic timing) to best the old record by more than 10 seconds.
The old mark was set in 2009 by Drew Bell, Daniel Bell, Quinn Phillips and Andy Koonce. Their time was 9:03.54 (FAT converted).
The Vandalia baseball team had a brief winning streak halted last Thursday, but coach Luke Hohlt said the game was still a step forward, because the Vandals fought to the finish.
Knowing that game was one of the last before the regional tournament, Hohlt knew Vandalia would need to continue showing that resilience to pull off an upset at regionals.
The Vandals, however, would lose their season finale to Hillsboro on Friday, before dropping a first-round regional game to Litchfield, 3-1, on Monday to end the season.

SNOW HILL – Budget cuts should come before a reduction in the discount afforded to early property tax payers, the Worcester County Commissioners decided this week.
An attempt to recoup about half a million dollars for the tight Worcester County budget next fiscal year by reducing the discount for early payment of property taxes to half a percent will wait until other budget trimming measures are considered.
"I just think it's a back-door tax increase," said Commissioner Louise Gulyas. "We said we're not going to raise taxes. This is a tax increase any way you look at it."
Commissioner Bobby Cowger said the reduction is a good idea proposed at a bad time. "Cutting that is like raising taxes," Cowger said.
Commissioner Judy Boggs liked the proposal, particularly in light of home values declining throughout the county.
"I think it's a prudent way to go," said Boggs. "They'll be paying less because they have lower assessments."
County Treasurer Harold Higgins proposed cutting the early payment discount from one percent to half a percent in order to recoup between $400,000 and $500,000 of the $900,000 the county loses annually.
"That's pretty significant," said Boggs.
The 1 percent amounts to about a $20 reduction in property tax for the average homeowner, with a benchmark tax bill of $2,000.
Higgins said the reduction in the discount made sense considering falling property values. The impact on the average homeowner would be small.
"Your net taxes would go up with that but we've seen some declines in assessments," said Higgins, which would offset the lesser reduction.
"It's a good deal to get a 1 percent discount. It's a good deal to get a half percent discount," said Higgins.
In the current rate environment, the 1 percent discount seems a little high, Higgins said.
"We probably get between 60 to 70 percent of our collections come through during the discount period," said Higgins.
Mortgage companies in particular use this period to pay those taxes. Property owners who escrow their taxes with a bank are required by law to pay during the discount period.
"If we don't offer a discount, they would probably postpone that payment 'til September," said Higgins.
The proposed change in the early payment discount from 1 percent to one half of a percent would be subject to a public hearing if the commissioners see fit to move ahead with the change.
"It's going to be a tight year again. We're looking at probably a $12 million reduction in projected revenue and a half million dollars here and there can help," Higgins said.
Boggs think people would be reasonable if the county went for decreasing the discount.
"Everybody understands the county is in dire straits, too," said Boggs.
"We'll have to find the cuts somewhere else," said Gulyas.
Cowger said he had a problem with raising taxes before the County Commissioners have made budget cuts.
Further debate over the suggested cut in the early property tax payment discount will be postponed until budget discussions in the spring, the commissioners agreed unanimously.
Higgins agreed that taking more time over the discount would be a good idea, letting his office gather more information and generate more accurate budget numbers.

I've decided to try to redeem some recent cutting mistakes by making potholders. I ordered some of the Insul-Bright batting but it won't be here for a while. One pattern I saw uses a double layer of terrycloth towel as insulation - do you think that would be enough? I'd hate to have anyone get burned, but I'd like to get started.
Thanks! I will be cutting more carefully from now on!

I do something Almost similar...
I normally have a root(/) a swap and a home(/home) and a 32fat formatted partion I call the 'Bridge&Keep. Where I can put stuff for easy access with windows (I don't multi-boot but great for bluetooth those that do have Windows). I either copy things their for 'My Window friends' or sometimes I have symlinked into/with my (Linux) home folder.
P.S. also a great place to put stuff during upgrades (or borking system ) for easy retrieval (no format during install) come up local but not install proper
Almost the same here... I partition all the computers I come across (2 desktops and two laptops/netbooks at home and the computers of a number of family members) with a swap, a root & a home and apart from that I add one partition I call "files" where I keep the "user document" folders such as Documents, Downloads, Videos, Music etc. Those are then symlinked to each OS where I remove the corresponding "local" folders. (I never "fiddle" with the rest of the stuff in /home though... that are kept as it is) This "extra" partition is formatted either with Ext4 or ntfs depending on if I'm dual booting with Windows or not.
This solution works quite well for me as I tend to either bork things up a bit once in a while and need to reinstall/restore or just want to try another Mint flavor/distro because I always have the Important stuff saved on a partition that doesn't have to be "touched" by my adventures.
Keeping a text doc with all the symlinking/mounting "strings" at hand also makes the setup very fast when I need to reinstall. This also keeps dual/multi-booting quite painless as I always access this partition no matter "where I am" at the moment. And by the way - this way any clone of root & home stay quite small not having to include huge video files or my latest photo adventures in the backup.
Anyway - now I feel I've been "off topic" for way to long, sorry about that.

Over a 30 year career, Joel Ferrell has gone from journeyman actor and dancer to one of the driving creative forces at the Dallas Theater Center
ARNOLD WAYNE JONES | Applause Editor
Joel Ferrell is the first one to admit that he "[doesn't] do well in giant windowless buildings," so when Kevin Moriarty tapped him to join the Dallas Theater Center staff as an "associate artist" —basically the No. 2 on the artistic side of the venerated troupe, tasked with directing about a third of the shows there and helping to produce others — he might have balked. Ferrell, like a lot of theaterfolk, has a gypsy's nature: He likes to move around, trying new things, exploring different theaters and companies and stages. It's how he's made his living for 30 years.
But the call from Moriarty came with more than the promise of a steady paycheck and a corporate title. It came with the opportunity to help reinvent how theater could be done. And though he would surely dispute it, almost as much as Moriarty, Ferrell has been instrumental in testing the limits of the Wyly Theatre and bringing the DTC to national prominence.
Ferrell could fairly be called the hardest working man at the DTC, if not in all North Texas theater.
"I don't know about that — Kevin works much harder," he says demurely.
But look at the facts: This past season alone, Ferrell produced the acclaimed sell-out comedy Arsenic and Old Lace at the Kalita, and directed the DTC's best shows back-to-back: The Horton Foote comedy Dividing the Estate, immediately followed by his staggeringly complex and affecting revision of the musical Cabaret, which he also choreographed. He's also the man responsible for conceiving (and directing and choreographing most productions) of DTC's holiday staple A Christmas Carol, a task he returns to this winter in addition to helming the regional premiere of God of Carnage.
In some ways, this is a cakewalk compared to the pace Ferrell maintained in his five seasons with Fort Worth's Casa Manana, where he directed and/or choreographed more than three dozen musicals. It was great experience, Ferrell concedes, but not a fulfilling one.
"I was always a square peg in a round hole there," he says. "What we did was in essence summer stock, with me playing producer, directing the designers, deciding whether to rent costumes. I was fighting to make Casa an arts organization that did art from the ground up. After years of poking my finger in that bear I gave up. It was invaluable and energizing and I wouldn't trade it at all, but I'm so glad I'm not doing it now."
What he wanted was what all artists crave: Freedom to experiment with the limits of their imagination, and "this place has done that for me, with me, to me … in spades," he says.
By "this place," Ferrell is referring both to the Theater Center itself and its new home in the Wyly Theatre. The building has not been without its critics: An overly steep entrance, uncomfortable chairs (recently, and expensively, updated last year), confusing and crowded accessways … and that's just from the audience's perspective.
"There's no typical backstage where a director can stand and pace when you're watching the opening of your new show," Ferrell notes about the configuration. But he's adjusting.
"It took significant getting used to because it is unlike any theater building I have been in," he says. "There have been hiccups, but I have to say — having bopped around the country working at a number of theaters — lot of things are fantastic. But probably the luckiest thing is that Kevin Moriarty was the first artistic director to move into the building."
Ferrell credits Moriarty with encouraging his creative team to make inventive use of the stage. "This is not a place for directors who want a proscenium," Ferrell cautions. "I really like working in the theater that is so flexible and with very few limitations about how you can create your space."
For his part, the depth of that creativity came with Ferrell's radical staging of Cabaret earlier this spring: Working with his set designer, he turned part of the Wyly stage into the floor of the Kit Kat Klub in the 1930s, complete with café tables, tea lights and beverage service. It was a far more complicated undertaking than merely coming up with an idea.
"You had to be aware of where it would be coherent to have tables, what the number of seats to be sold could be, the safety, ADA compliance. The decision just where to put the service tables for the waiters was a big one. I worked a supper club theater in New York years ago and it was a lot of work. Very quickly it became understood it took a lot of departments working together to make it work. It is a great collaborative process here working with an evolving building."
Ferrell is quick to share the credit with all the people who help make a show come together.
"I have been lucky to have such astonishing designers working with me — there's no need for me to lead them by the nose. During tech week on Dividing the Estate someone told me she was in awe of the process, mesmerized by the speed at which the [artists] work. Someone said to me, 'I don't know when you sleep!' During tech week, I don't sleep."
His generosity of spirit probably comes from starting out as an actor (he became a member of Actors Equity 30 years ago, he crows) before moving into choreography and eventually directing. He first worked at the DTC when Richard Hamburger, the former artistic director, hired him for a new production of A Christmas Carol in 1991.
"Then about eight years ago, Hamburger hired me to choreograph My Fair Lady — the last show performed at the old Arts District Theater. That was the most collaborative I have even been with Richard," he says.
Ferrell decided to take a breather when in 2008 he received a call from Moriarty, who had only recently been appointed the new A.D.
"He asked, would I choreograph The Who's Tommy. It became very apparent he was testing the waters with me, to see if it made sense for me to be connected with the Theater Center. Even still, coming on staff? I did not see that coming."
Ferrell thinks Moriarty has been instrumental in "making the Theater Center more relevant to Dallas than it had been in a long time, arguing that it should be doing innovate stuff and regain a national footprint. It feels like we've made some great progress in that way," he says.
As for Ferrell himself, he's still excited about his new role in shaping the North Texas theater scene, and has found a sense of serenity.
"There was a time when I thought the amount of shows I did was the barometer of my success," Ferrell admits.
Not so much anymore. He'll take quality over quantity any day. If only he could just slow down.

Many even went to the Superdome in New Orleans as homes and other buildings were destroyed. While we were defenseless when Katrina came, there are ways we can help the victims.
Voluntary organizations are seeking cash donations to assist the victims, according to Michael D. Brown, Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Emergency Preparedness and Response. Volunteers should not report directly to the affected areas unless directed by a voluntary agency.
Volunteer agencies provide a variety of services after disasters, such as clean up, childcare, housing repair, crisis counseling, sheltering and food.
Cash can be donated to organizations such as American Red Cross, Operation Blessing and America's Second Harvest. Individuals could donate cash to and volunteer with Adventist Community Services, Catholic Charities, USA, Christian Disaster Response, Christian Reformed World Relief Committee, Church World Service, Convoy of Hope, Lutheran Disaster Response, Mennonite Disaster Service, Nazarene Disaster Response, Presbyterian Disaster Response, Salvation Army, Southern Baptist Convention • Disaster Relief and United Methodist Committee on Relief.
For further information, please visit the Web site for the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) at http://www.nvoad.org/.
We hope everyone gets better as soon as possible and are able to weather the storm.
As many have endured much hardship over the recent hurricanes, this should be a sign for us to do more to prepare for the next hurricane. We hope it is a long time away, but if it comes soon, we need to be ready.
There cannot be too many donations for Hurricane Katrina. If there are leftover donations, those funds could be set aside for the next hurricane.
We applaud all of the people and organizations who have acted swiftly and taken spur-of-the-moment action to provide disaster relief. We would be lost without you.
The toughest times are what tests the character of individuals. Volunteer organizations have passed the test with flying colors.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who were injured or had property damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI/Ole Miss Athletics) — Tia Faleru scored a career-high 24 points while Diara Moore added 17 as the Ole Miss women's basketball team fell to Alabama, 83-75, Sunday afternoon.
With the loss, Ole Miss fell to 7-10 overall (0-4 SEC) while Alabama improved to 11-6 (1-3 SEC).
Tia Faleru scored in double figures for the ninth time this year, with her first career 20-point game as she finished with a game-high 24 points. On the year, she joins teammates Diara Moore, Valencia McFarland and Gracie Frizzell as Ole Miss players who have scored a 20-point game this season.
Moore scored in double figures for the team-leading 12th time this year as she scored 17 points and added a career-high five assists. Moore went 8-10 from the free throw line in the game and is now 18-20 from the line in the last three games.
McFarland recorded her 35th career game with five or more assists as she finished with seven assists and nine points.
As a team, Ole Miss shot 38.5 percent from the floor (25-65) while Alabama shot 44.8 percent (30-67). The Crimson Tide outrebounded Ole Miss 42-41 and Courtney Marbra led Ole Miss with seven rebounds.
"This is a tough loss for us. Coming into today, this was really a game we felt we could compete in, no to discredit to Alabama at 11-6. They are a long, athletic team that did a really nice job of setting the tone early," head coach Brett Frank said. "They came out and hit us and really dominated us on the offensive rebounds. I thought our kids responded well in the second half and only gave up two offensive rebounds in the second half after giving up 15 in the first half. We talk a lot about playing a full 40 minutes. We aren't team that has the luxury of getting ourselves in a hole and clawing ourselves out."
The Crimson Tide built a 29-15 lead with 7:00 left in the first half after a 15-4 run. Four free throws from Moore on back-to-back possessions for Ole Miss cut Alabama's lead to 31-20 with 4:48 to play.
At the half, the Crimson Tide led 43-30. Faleru led Ole Miss with 11 points at the half while Moore added nine. The Rebels shot 28.6 percent from the floor (10-35) while Alabama shot 36.8 percent (14-38).
The Rebels went on a 6-0 run to cut the Crimson Tide's lead to nine, 52-43, with 16:19 left in the second half. Ole Miss went on a 9-2 run to cut the lead to six, 66-60, on a fast-break layup from Moore with 6:59 to play.
Ole Miss continued to chip away at Alabama's lead in the second half, a three from Amber Singletary with 2:02 remaining to cut the lead to 79-73
Ole Miss will have a bye date on Thursday before hosting Missouri on Sunday at 2 p.m. The game will be televised on Cox Sports TV.

INTERPOL fingerprint match assists US law enforcement in arrest of suspected serial killer in Europe
A tip from a New York Police Department detective and an INTERPOL matching of fingerprints has led to the arrest of a man living in Montenegro in relation to the unsolved 1990 beating and dismemberment killing of a widow in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The NYPD detective noted apparent similarities with several European cases while attending a training session at FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. Requesting assistance from federal and international authorities, he sent the suspect's fingerprints from a 1974 arrest to INTERPOL. After comparison with those in its international database, INTERPOL notified the FBI that it had matched the prints to a man believed to be living in Montenegro.
The suspect, identified by authorities in Montenegro as Smail Tulja, 67, was arrested in his home in the tiny Balkan country's capital, Podgorica, on a federal arrest warrant obtained by the FBI and forwarded to INTERPOL. Tulja is also reportedly a suspect in similar slayings in several other European countries.
In fighting international crime, INTERPOL manages databases, which contain critical information on criminals and criminality, including suspected terrorists, fingerprints, DNA profiles, lost or stolen travel documents, child sexual abuse images, stolen motor vehicles, and nominal data on criminals (names, photos). These databases are accessible by INTERPOL National Central Bureaus in all member countries to assist police with investigations or in preventing crime.

LONDON, July 11 (UPI) -- The producers of "Unlawful Killing" say their controversial documentary about the late British Princess Diana won't open in the United States as planned.
Directed by British actor-filmmaker Keith Allen, the film was set to open Aug. 31 in the United States, Spain, Italy, Holland, Brazil, India and Russia, in time for the 15th anniversary of the princess' death in a Paris car crash at the age of 36.
Also killed in the high-speed, drunk-driving wreck was her boyfriend Dodi al-Fayed, whose father, billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed, financed "Unlawful Killing," a film that criticizes the British royal family and suggests there was a coverup surrounding Diana's and Dodi's deaths even though the allegation was proven false in court. It was determined the couple's driver, Henri Paul, who was also killed in the crash, was intoxicated and driving recklessly at the time.
The Hollywood Reporter said producers won't release the film in theaters as scheduled because they couldn't secure the necessary insurance to indemnify them and distributors from lawsuits pertaining to the film's content.
"It became undoable. We are all disappointed," producer Conor Nolan told the entertainment industry trade newspaper. "We worked on 'Unlawful Killing' for four years. We've written back to all of the distributors and are returning their minimum guarantees. We're doing the decent thing."
The Hollywood Reporter said the filmmakers were told they would have to make 87 cuts for the documentary to be shown in the United Kingdom, so no theatrical release or television broadcast is scheduled there.

Q. When Chris plays older songs (Shiver/Scientist/See You Soon/etc.) does he try to emotionally put himself where he was when he wrote the song? And if not, how does he sing with so much passion and sincerity during every performance? Thank you Oracle!
The Oracle replies:
Funnily enough, the songs you mention aren't actually that personal - emotionally speaking - to Chris these days. The Scientist certainly isn't autobiographical in the first place.

When Trine released for PC and PlayStation Network, it introduced an interesting new take on the old Lost Vikings concept that worked back on the SNES. You've got three different characters, each with their own specific abilities and talents, who need to work together to solve puzzles and venture onward to the next waiting level. However, the major difference between these games lie in the presentation. Trine presented an elegant design, both in its backdrops and character animations, which would set the standard for downloadable games at the time. Could Atlus and Frozenbyte strike again with Trine 2? You bet your sweet character switch it can.
The set-up hasn't changed that much from the first. The Trine has returned, and the three playable heroes – a thief, a wizard and a knight – team up once again to work their way through trickily invented levels, using their skills to overcome situations. Like before, the thief can shoot objects from afar with a bow and grapple to wood platforms; the wizard can manipulate objects using a Force-like power and draw up boxes to stand on and push; and the knight can strike enemies with his sword and war hammer or deflect attacks with his shield. Each of these are vital to figuring your way through the game, so you'll want to make sure you learn them well.
Now, some abilities have been limited since the last time around, as if Frozenbyte really wants to challenge you to figure out levels rather than taking "the easy way out". This is both a gift and a curse, as you don't have as many abilities to call upon to move further ahead. Likewise, this adds to the game's difficulty, though hints are on hand if you get a little too stressed out trying to figure out what to do next.
Trine 2 is one of those rare games that's as much fun to play on your own as it is with friends. Going at it solo, for instance, will teach you the value of each character, providing you with a sense of satisfaction when you finally solve a certain puzzle or overcome a situation that you thought was impossible. Likewise, playing with friends is a treat, as you adapt to working together in a nearly completely different way, relying on a strong amount of teamwork. Better still, multiplayer works both with local players and online.
The lack of new wrinkles in the gameplay may bum out those who were expecting as much, but honestly, Trine 2 holds up just as significantly as it did with the original. In fact, it feels just a little bit more concentrated this time around, giving you less room for error. And if you do screw up and accidentally kill a character, it's easy to work your way around the puzzle and revive them for the next one. It never really gets to the point that you want to give up.
Frozenbyte has really pulled out all the stops when it comes to Trine 2's presentation. The stellar visuals will have you checking your system just to make sure there's not a disc in the drive. No, really. This is the sort of quality you'd expect from a retail release, let alone a downloadable one that barely clocks in over 1 GB. Between the imaginative backdrops, the smooth animation, the dynamic lighting effects (particularly in the beginning, when the Trine shines through your bedroom window), and the diversity of each stage as the game goes along, it's a stunning sight. What's more, Atlus has thoughtfully backed up these astonishing settings with quality audio, including voicework that doesn't take itself too seriously, yet doesn't dip into cheesy territory either. The music is equally moving, keeping you involved in your quest without reaching the point of exasperation.
Though you might be discouraged by the fact that Trine 2's gameplay hasn't really pushed forward much, it worked so well the first time around, why change it? The sequel benefits in many ways, including a superior presentation, a single player campaign loaded with daunting trials and hidden goodies, and co-op that really clicks, both online and off. This is one journey you shouldn't even bother Trine to resist. (OK, enough corny jokes. Sorry.)

text: Out Traveler was in Las Vegas this weekend to attend the opening of the world's largest gay nightclub, Krave Massive. The next day we made sure to visit Temptation Sundays at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. The pool party, launched in 2010, is less of a booze-crazed, cruise-y scene than a friendly, flirty enjoyable afternoon that includes tourists and locals. We highly recommend this and, if you can afford it, a cabana is definitely the way to go. See pics of the most recent Temptation Sundays below.

Affected Station Groups:
By April 2, 2012, noncommercial radio stations in Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, and noncommercial television stations in Texas, must prepare and file electronically a Biennial Ownership Report with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) using the current noncommercial FCC Form 323-E. Please note, as April 1 is a Sunday, the deadline for filing the FCC Form 323-E with the FCC is extended to the next business day, April 2nd.
This filing date applies only to noncommercial radio and TV stations in the states listed above. The FCC has revised its rules regarding the reporting of ownership interests for commercial broadcast stations, as well as revised the commercial Ownership Report, the FCC Form 323. Accordingly, commercial stations now file their biennial ownership reports on a single unified date, which will next occur on Nov. 1, 2013.
Noncommercial stations, on the other hand, continue to follow the previous rules for the filing of Biennial Ownership Reports on FCC Form 323-E, which has not been revised. The FCC has commenced a rule making proceeding to potentially change some of the ownership reporting rules for noncommercial licensees, but meanwhile, noncommercial broadcast stations continue to follow the existing rules.
Accordingly, as April 2, 2012, marks the two-year anniversary of the filing of a Biennial Ownership Report for noncommercial stations in the above-referenced services and states, those stations must now file a Biennial Ownership Report to update their ownership information or affirm the information currently on file. Ownership Reports are filed every other year to report on changes in the licensee's ownership and update the information requested by the form. Ownership information must be provided for all attributable owners of the licensee (see below).
Other information to be noted in the report would include changes in broadcast interests of the licensee, and changes in the list of documents that need to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 73.3613 of the rules. Those documents are described in Attachment A, but principally deal with agreements that could affect future ownership, or ones that in some way restrict the operations of the licensee. Examples of such agreements include Options, Rights of First Refusals, Stock Pledge Agreements, Security Agreements that place significant restrictions on the operations of the licensee, and programming agreements such as Time Brokerage Agreements or Television Network Affiliation Agreements.
Note that stations that are co-owned with stations in other states can elect a unified Ownership Report filing date, as long as the licensee has at least one station in a state with that reporting date. In that case, the licensee will file its report on every other anniversary of the renewal filing of the stations in the state it elects. If the licensee of a station in one of the states or territories listed above has made the election to file a consolidated report for all of its stations, and notified the Commission of that election, there is no additional obligation to file an Ownership Report on April 2.
Attributable interests While a full discussion of who has an attributable interest in a licensee would take many pages, there are some generalities that can be summarized here.
In noncommercial entities, the attributable owners are generally those who make decisions for the entity. In most nonprofit corporations, that would be the company's officers and directors. For other nonprofit entities such as a college or other institution, it would normally be the governing board of the entity.
An Ownership Report is not required for individualsUnder the FCC's Rules, if you hold a noncommercial station's license as an individual, or as a general partnership made up entirely of natural persons (i.e., individuals as opposed to corporations or other business entities), then you are not required to file a biennial Ownership Report. The reason for this is that if there are any changes in the ownership of a licensee owned by an individual or general partnership, prior FCC permission is required. For instance, if an individual adds a second owner, he has created a partnership, requiring approval on an FCC Form 314 (or possibly a Form 316 if the new owner has less than a 50 percent voting interest). Similarly, the FCC takes the common law view that change of partners in a general partnership creates a new partnership, thus requiring prior FCC approval.
Please note, the Commission has changed this rule with respect to commercial stations, such that stations licensed to individuals or to general partnerships made up of natural persons must now file Biennial Ownership Reports. It is not clear whether the FCC will eventually change the rule for noncommercial stations.
Basic questions when preparing the Biennial Ownership Report If your station's information has changed since the last time you prepared and filed a Biennial Ownership Report, you should review it carefully and make any necessary changes. In particular, you should consider the following basic information as you review the report. While the FCC should be notified when some of this information changes even apart from the ownership filing deadline, the preparation of the biennial report gives the licensee a good opportunity to review the continuing accuracy of all this information.
Character qualifications While not actually filed with the Ownership Report, Section 1.65 of the Commission's rules requires that each licensee report to the Commission any adverse legal findings that could affect the character qualifications of a licensee. If there has been an adverse finding of a felony, any antitrust or unfair competition issue relating to media matters, any fraudulent statement to another government agency, or any discrimination matter, then the licensee must file a report with the Commission.
A report must also be filed if any business owned or controlled by an attributable owner is involved in such conduct, or if an attributable owner is directly involved in such conduct at another business. That report is to be filed on the anniversary date of the filing of the license renewal, so a report would be due at the same time as your Ownership Report. If such conduct occurs in the year that a Biennial Ownership Report is not due, then a report would still need to be filed on the anniversary date of the filing of the renewal. For companies with widely disbursed ownership, the licensee should survey its attributable owners to make sure that they have not been involved in such conduct.
Preparing and filing the Biennial Ownership Report The FCC Form 323-E Ownership Report must be filed with the FCC electronically. Accordingly, the report must be prepared and submitted through the FCC's CDBS filing system, which can be accessed at the following website: www.fcc.gov/mb/cdbs.html.
If there have been no changes in the station's ownership since the last Biennial Ownership Report, the station must still prepare and file a new report; however, the CDBS filing system allows you to utilize information from a prior electronic Ownership Report, which should simplify the completion of the new form. If you do not already have a CDBS filing account, you can create one by following the directions at the FCC's website. In addition to the CDBS account number and password; you will also need the licensee's FCC Registration Number (FRN) and password when you are ready to submit the Form.
For more information about the FCC's ownership rules, or for assistance in preparing and filing your Form 323-E Ownership Report, please contact any of the lawyers in the Davis Wright Tremaine LLP Broadcast group.

The weekend series with the Braves continues as they look to avoid falling into third place.
The weekend series continues this afternoon as the Phillies (54-49) hosts the Braves (49-53) at Citizens Bank Park. The game will start at 3:55 pm Eastern, being shown nationally on Fox Sports Saturday Baseball. The Phillies' starter will be their ace Cole Hamels (9-6, 3.11), who is coming off of a no-decision against the Marlins on July 20, where he went eight innings, unleasing his nasty new curveball which helped to keep the young Marlins off-balanced all day, giving up only two earned runs on four hits. Hamels has faced the Braves two times already this year, having a 2-0 record against them, going a combined total of seventeen and two-thirds innings, giving up only one earned run on nine hits. Hamels will for the fourth straight week try to notch his tenth win of the year while pondering if the Phillies' batters will finally give him some runs support, after having already pitched three straight quality starts with little to no run support. The Braves will be sending to the mound Mike Hampton (0-0, _.__), who will be making his first start at the major league level since 2005. He will be looking for his first win of the year, while hoping to continue the Phillies present offensive woes.
It was reported that the team had a meeting behind closed doors yesterday afternoon for 15 minutes to try and address the problems that they are presently having. You know, to try and clear the air. Oh, I hate to tell you, Charlie, but I think these guys needs more than 15 mins. to correct this mess. They need a good old fashion Dallas Green/Larry Bowa-style kick in the pants tirade, telling them what they should be doing, and not what they're doing, and I do believe that target number 1 of the tirade should be Jimmy Rollins. Sorry Jimmy, but that laid back attitude of yours need to be thrown out the window, along with the swinging at the first pitch(s) thrown at you that you are presently doing too much of. Honestly, dude, you are suppose to be the leader of this team. As long as you keep doing your imitation of Alfred E. Neuman's "What, Me. Worry?", this team is not going anywhere. You want to regain the pennent and get into the World Series, start acting like you want it bad!!!! Of course, this goes all the way to the top, with the idiots owners who own this club, who keep wanting to do things on the cheap, and it keeps showing with the kind of people who they keep giving contracts to, who end up being busts. Ladies and Gentlemen, my fellow Phillies' fan, we need to revolt against these cheapskates who runs the team, and get our boys out of their cheapo hands and into the hands of a George Steinbrenner-type who will be willing to put out the money for the necessary talents for both the farm system and the main team that will be in the pennant race year after year as a constant threat. Until that happens, what we are seeing now is just going to be constantly repeated again and again until they are finally removed from the helm.
The Phillies are presently tied for second place with the Marlins, both trailing the Mets by two games. The fourth place Braves are trailing the Phillies and Marlins by four and a half games, and poised to get back into the race. The Phillies need to step it up, get out of their present funk and show to the rest of the league that they are not dead yet!!!!
