The Fugitive
Somebodys gonna give you some money to perform a job, you do your best to make em a good hand. Tommy Lee Jones
Texan actor/director Tommy Lee Jones first became a Hollywood eye-opener after winning an Emmy Award for his portrayal of convict Gary Mark Gilmore in the TV biopic drama The Executioners Song (1982), as well as earning an Emmy nomination for his convincing turn as Woodrow F. Call in the western miniseries Lonesome Dove (1989, also won a Western Heritages Bronze Wrangler and earned a Golden Globe nomination). Even more praise came with the role of detective Samuel Gerard in Andrew Davis action thriller The Fugitive (1993), in which he took home various awards, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award.
Jones also made a superb directorial debut with the western television movie The Good Old Boys (1995, also wrote and acted), in which he won two Lone Star Film & Television Awards. Later, he took home a Cannes Film Festival Award for his notable performance as Pete Perkins in the self-directed and produced western adventure movie The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005). In appreciation for his commitment in acting, Jones was handed the 1993 Boston Film Festivals Film Excellence Award, the 2000 Palm Beach International Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award in Acting and the 2003 Golden Boot Award.
Off camera, the actor is also part time cattle rancher on his 3,000-acre ranch near San Antonio, Texas, where he raises polo ponies. He practices with the ponies, and in 1993, his team won the U.S. Polo Associations Western Challenge Cup. In 1998, he was injured after falling from his horse during a polo match.
On a more private note, Jones, who once had a romantic relationship with model Lisa Taylor, has had three marriages. His was once married to Katherine Lardner, Kimberlea Gayle Cloughley, and is currently married to Dawn Maria Laurel. He has two children from his marriage with Cloughley.
Al Gores Pal

In 1960, Tommy won a scholarship to the St. Marks preparatory school in Dallas and later, he also acquired a scholarship to the Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. While in college, he befriended future Vice President Al Gore and became a football player. Graduating cum laude in English literature in 1969, he headed to New York to pursue an acting career.
As for his marital life, Tommy has had three marriages. He was married for seven years to actress Katherine Lardner before marrying photographer Kimberlea Gayle Cloughley on May 30, 1981. In 1996, Tommy and Kimberlea were divorced. They share a son named Austin Leonard Jones (born in 1983) and a daughter named Victoria Kafka Jones (born in 1991). Also in 1996, Tom formed a relationship with camera assistant Dawn Maria Laurel, and five years later, they exchanged wedding vows.
The Good Old Boys
Ten days after his arrival in the Big Apple, Tommy Lee Jones, who never formally studied acting, quickly acquired an acting job on the Broadway stage in John Osbornes A Patriot For Me (1969), where he played five different parts but had only five words for his spoken line. The same year, he received the leading turn in Sal Mineos controversial off-Broadway play Fortune and Mens Eyes.
As fate would have it, Jones made his film debut in 1970, playing roommate Hank Simpson in the famous adaptation of Erich Segals novel Love Story. He also landed the regular role of Dr. Mark Toland in the long-running daytime soap drama One Life to Live (1971-1975), had the part of Gus in the drama movie Life Study (1973) and appeared in an episode of the crime drama series Barnaby Jones (1975). Jones then accepted the leading turn of Coley Blake in Jackson County Jail (1976) and the title role in The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977, TV), before costarring with such talented actresses as Faye Dunaway (the thriller Eyes of Laura Mars, 1978), Sissy Spacek (the biopic Coal Miners Daughter, 1979) and Sally Field (Back Roads, 1980).
Showing distinctive acting talent, Jones won an Emmy for Best Actor after impressively portraying Gary Mark Gilmore, a convicted killer lobbying for his own execution, in the TV biopic drama The Executioners Song (1982). After taking leading parts in the adventure movie Nate and Hayes (1983) and Thomas Rickmans The River Rat (1984), he went to the small screen with the revival of Tennessee Williams play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1985, played alcoholic Brick Pollitt), the drama Yuri Nosenko, KGB (1986), Broken Vows (1987, as ghetto priest Pater Joseph McMahon) and the western drama Stranger on My Land (1988).
In 1989, Jones presented an applauded performance as former Texas Ranger Woodrow F. Call in the western miniseries Lonesome Dove, and was handed a Western Heritage Bronze Wrangler award, as well as an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination. His captivating acting was displayed in the military-themed Fire Birds (1990, acted opposite Nicholas Cage), Oliver Stones JFK (1991, as Clay Shaw/Clay Bertrand, earned Oscars Best Supporting Actor nomination) and the action film Under Siege (1992, took the role of CIA member William Stranix).
The recipient of the 1993 Boston Film Festivals Film Excellence award, Jones received huge success with his role in Andrew Davis action thriller The Fugitive (1993, costarring Harrison Ford), in which he was cast as unrelenting detective Samuel Gerard. For his spellbinding portrayal, the actor collected numerous awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Southeastern Film Critics Association and a Los Angeles Film Critics Association for Best Supporting Actor. The same role also brought him a MTV Movie award for Best On-Screen Duo, shared with Harrison Ford, as well as a BAFTA nomination. The acclaimed movie also featured beautiful performances from Sela Ward, Julianne Moore and Joe Pantoliano.
Following his successful turn as professional terrorist Ryan Gaerity in Blown Away (1994), the actor delved into his cinematographic skill through the western television film The Good Old Boys (1995), where he served as the director, the screenwriter, and the starring actor. Thriving in his directorial debut, Jones took home two Lone Star Film & Television awards, one for Best TV Actor and another for Best TV Director.
The high profile performer expanded his fame to younger audiences by playing unruffled Agent K (Kay) in the Men in Black (1997) and by voicing the toy soldier Major Chip Hazard in the fantasy adventure movie Small Soldiers (1998). Moving to the thriller genre, Jones had the role of Travis Lehman in Double Jeopardy (1999) and carried out the part of Col. Hayes Hodge Hodges in Rules of Engagement (2000). After reprising his 1997 role in the mediocre sequel Men in Black II (2002), he fared better in The Hunted (2003, costarring Benicio Del Toro).
Two years later, Jones made his second directorial attempt with the self-produced western adventure movie The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005, also starred in) and was awarded with a Cannes Film Festival for Best Actor. Jones, who received the 2000 Palm Beach International Film Festival Lifetime Achievement award in Acting and the 2003 Golden Boot award, also starred as Roland Sharp in the action comedy Man of the House (2005, also executive produced).
Recently, he joined acclaimed director Robert Altman in his comedy drama A Prairie Home Companion (2006), costarring as Axeman, opposite Woody Harrelson. He will also team up with veteran directors/screenwriters Ethan and Joel Coen (the Coen brothers) in their drama thriller No Country for Old Men. The Coen brothers project is scheduled for release in 2007.

I only have two months left of chemotherapy treatments before I am done with it, barring any changes. I am grateful for this, though I do struggle at times to keep my hopeful and faithful perspective. My sister-in-law prays with me, and my EFT Mentor taps with me, and that pulls me back to the knowing that this experience will soon pass. I look forward to being able to see more clients, and opening my schedule. I also look forward to playing with my son more, and keeping those things that are most important in my life, such as rest, good food, time to write and to play, time with my husband and son, and with my extended family.
Whenever I forget to enjoy the simple things, like the snuggly little dog at my feet, I find myself going off balance. It took a serious illness for me to consider my needs first: to stop overbooking, to include time every day for lunch, and to save energy every day for my little boy. I know many of us are still in that boat- off balance and struggling to fit everything in. I am tapping to get rid of that feeling forever.
A mentor once told me a story that has stuck with me. A professor brought a large, glass jar to class. In front of his students, he proceeded to fill the jar with large rocks. When he was done, he asked his students, is the jar full, to which they replied yes. Next he had some smaller pebbles, which he poured in. They took up the spaces around the rocks. "Is it full now?", he asked, to which his students replied yes. Then he had sand, which he proceeded to fill the jar with. "How about now?" They replied, "Yes, it is full." Then he produced a large glass of water, and poured it in the jar. Now there was room for nothing else.
"Imagine this jar is your life," he said. The things inside are the things you do with your life. The big rocks are the most important things, such as time with your family, with yourself, for artistic pursuits, for exercise, and eating well. The small rocks and sand are other things that fit into the cracks among the important things, like working, trying to be perfect, and errands. The water is more of the same. If you started by filling the jar with water or sand, you would have no room left for the most important rocks. If you fill your life with work and errands, you may not have time to spend with your family. Think about priority while filling your life."
It's not enough to just presume your loved ones know how you feel about them. Make the time to spend with them. It's not enough to have dreams to be a writer, artist, or musician. Make the time to do it. This may require simplifying, even cutting back, changing perspectives. Are your relationships worth less money? It may mean getting a smaller house, or a used car. Is that worth having time for your passion? Is it worth the extra time to eat well if it means you feel better, sleep better, and have more energy?
The human body and soul can only go so long without being nourished by food and by love before they allow dis-ease inside. Make the changes you've been meaning to make, and imagine how good you will feel.
I commit today to eating to fulfill my body's needs, taking the time I need to rest, saying "no" when I need to, and saying "yes" when it feels right. I commit today to putting my needs first so that I can nourish my unique soul and contribute to the world in the way that only I can. I commit today to honoring my gifts, and making time to use them. I resolve to put my family before my work-- not after a project is done, not in a year or two when I've made a promotion, but NOW. If I find myself unable to do these things, I commit myself to finding help in the spiritual or helping communities. All we have is now. We never know if there will be a tomorrow.

Words and Faith in a Cancer Diagnosis

It's not just about eating. We must help people grow, process, market and distribute food in a sustainable manner.
The Do-It-Yourself Approach to Food
Will Allen is the chief executive of Growing Power, a nonprofit that helps to provide equal access to healthy food.
Updated April 15, 2012, 7:00 PM
There is always a need for educating the American public on healthy eating. However, more importantly, we must educate people on how to provide for themselves, because the current food system has failed to provide equal access to healthy, affordable food to the Americans who live in food desert neighborhoods nationwide.
It has been well documented that people who live in food desert communities have limited (or no) access to fresh, affordable and healthy food. The U.S.D.A. has acknowledged this reality and created a Web site to reveal American food desert communities in hopes of zeroing in on these areas as part of the first lady's "Let's Move" campaign. I joined the first lady during the introduction of her campaign and emphasized in my speech how important it is to transform our urban communities, including public school system meals, to make healthy food more accessible and affordable to children and their families.
I believe that many people know what food is good for them, but do not have access to or cannot afford the healthier options, and for this reason, eat poorly. If people can grow safe, healthy, affordable food, if they have access to land and clean water, this is transformative on every level in a community. We cannot have healthy communities without a healthy food system. And ultimately, it is the responsibility of the individual and the greater community to transform the food system landscape together.
This transformation must be supported by diverse stakeholders: universities, corporations, community organizations, nonprofits, government, private enterprise, education, foundations, etc. For the past two decades, my organization, Growing Power, has been a part of this transformation — going beyond "education" to provide hands-on training, on-the-ground demonstration, outreach and technical assistance through the development of community food systems that help people grow, process, market and distribute food in a sustainable manner.

Skip to comments.Has the US Administration Decided to Get Rid of Jordan's King Abdullah?
Posted on 11/20/2012 10:18:47 AM PST by aimhigh
click here to read article
Losing Abdullah and Jordan is a point of no return.
Well, yes....because Queen Noor is white.
It has been plain from his actions that always move the Muslim cause "Forward" what obama is;too bad millions of Americans are willfully blind and stupid.
To all those who say obama is doing a poor job ,I say,no he is doing a VERY good job at what his true goal is:destroying freedom.
Its going to be kind of interesting to see how the media portrays Abdullah as a brutal dictator when the whole world knows better.
After all, just a few years ago he decreed that muslim men would face murder charges for "honor killings".
The Hashemites are one of the few reliable Arab elites in the whole Middle East.
If they controlled Saudi Arabia instead of the Saudis, then Wahabbism probably wouldn't be the threat it is today.
The king may be a US ally, and a force for civilization in an uncivilized world.
But he isn't Muslim Brotherhood, and he has to go.
That would give Israel a war form all four sides. Iran across the border and form the sea. Syria, Egypt, Jourdan, and Lebanon would all attack. Only God will save Israel.
The goal is to rid the world of any ME leader who gets along with the West and replace them with a Muslim Brotherhood standin and eventually Sharia. That is what Obama's unwritten plan is all about. Forget the rhetoric, look at the deeds done or about to be done.
There hasn't been a good King Killing since 1917.
M.O. jealousy.
Include Hillary Clinton in this plan as well. She has been an advocate for the Muslim Brotherhood for a long time. For details see Front Page Magazine.
The Muslim Brotherhood is nothing but the spear point of Jihad, and our current government (read the State Department and the Obama Administration)is playing with a serpent that will turn on it.
Step up "there" efforts? Clearly a product of publik schools.
I watched an interview with her. I'll say one thing. She took her role seriously - probably still does as the mother of the ruler - a precarious one.
I don't quite know, though, what your "M.O Jealousy" comments mean.
Dude...sorry...I'm dense sometimes....now I get it. M.O = shelf-ass-bit.....er, uh.... Michelle...... ha ha,,,,

CBS Chairman-CEO Les Moonves said ad buyers in this year's upfront committed to spend 4% to 5% fewer dollars than they did in the negotiating season last year.
But "pricing was fine," said Mr. Moonves, speaking at Goldman Sachs' annual media conference and expanding on earlier comments he has made about the upfront.
CBS sold less ad time in the upfront than in prior years. Mr. Moonves said the network sold about 75% of its inventory, compared with about 79% the year before.
In 2013, CBS secured commitments between $2.5 million and $2.75 and price hikes between 7% and 8%.
Mr. Moonves also argued that the longtime currency of TV -- how many people saw a show last night -- have lost their power in an environment where viewers watch episodes days or even weeks later.
"Overnight ratings are virtually irrelevant now," Mr. Moonves said.
Mr. Moonves said commercial ratings that span the full week after a show first airs, the metric known as C7, had been was a meaningful part of the network's upfront deals. (The industry standard is still C3.) But Mr. Moonves is looking to go further, saying that CBS should get paid, in some capacity, for every ad viewed, no matter when it is watched.
The lackluster upfront ad market -- when networks look to secure a bulk of their ad commitments for the fall season -- was the topic of conversation during much of Goldman Sachs' conference on Wednesday.
Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman acknowledged some softness in the upfront as some major marketers changed their upfront strategy.
But he said Viacom Velocity, the company's integrated marketing team, helped drive upfront deals for the company.
Walt Disney's Jay Rasulo, senior exec VP and chief financial officer, said advertisers have been hesitant to commit dollars in the front end of the year. "They are holding on longer into the year but by the end of the year we are seeing them spend those dollars," he said.
Discovery Communications sold less of its inventory in the upfront, choosing to hold more back for the scatter market, said CEO David Zaslav. He said the company sold 49% to 50% of inventory compared with 55% last year.

Hugel Pinot Blanc Amour 2000
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
The company has always maintained its family character and is determined to keep it that way. The vineyards are owned and farmed by individual members of the family whereas the company owns the buildings and machinery.
With its fairytale aesthetic, Germanic influence and strong emphasis on white wines, Alsace is one of France's most unique viticultural regions. This hotly contested stretch of land running north to south on France's northeastern border has spent much of its existence as German territory. Nestled in the rain shadow of the Vosges mountains, it is one of the driest regions of France but enjoys a long and cool growing season. Autumn humidity facilitates the development of "noble rot" for the production of late-picked sweet wines, Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles.
The best wines of Alsace can be described as aromatic and honeyed, even when completely dry. The region's "noble" varieties, the only ones permitted within Alsace's 51 Grands Crus vineyards, are Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Pinot Gris.
Riesling is Alsace's main specialty. In its youth, Alsatian Riesling is dry, fresh and floral, but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Gewurztraminer is known for its signature spice and lychee aromatics, and is often utilized for late harvest wines. Pinot Gris is prized for its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavors. Muscat, vinified dry, tastes of ripe green grapes and fresh rose petal.
Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Chasselas, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir—the only red grape permitted in Alsace and mainly used for sparkling rosé known as Crémant d'Alsace. Most Alsatian wines are single-varietal bottlings and unlike other French regions, are also labeled with the variety name.
Lightly aromatic, pleasantly soft, and always approachable, Pinot Blanc is best known in Alsace, where it is considered a workhorse variety that takes a backseat to the more complex Pinot Gris. A white mutation of Pinot Noir, it produces easy-drinking, enjoyable wines here. In Italy, as Pinot Bianco, it gets a little more complex, especially in the mountainous Alto Adige region. It is perhaps most successful as Weissburgunder in Germany and Austria, where the wines are subtle, delicate, surprisingly complex, and age-worthy. There is also some Pinot Blanc performing well in Oregon and cooler pockets of California.
In the Glass
Typically, Pinot Blanc has a relatively full body and expresses simple but pleasing aromas of crisp green apple, pear, citrus, and white flowers. The finest examples possess stony minerality and occasionally ripe stone fruit flavors, and with age can develop intriguing notes of honey, vanilla, and almond.
Perfect Pairings
Delicate Pinot Blanc works well with lighter fare such as salads, seafood, chicken, or turkey, but is truly at its best with Alsatian pairings like Hollandaise dishes, onion tarts, or the region's notable soft cheeses such as Muenster.
Sommelier Secret
Pinot Blanc's delicate aromatics, full body, and moderate acidity make it a great alternative to the world's most popular white wine. Anyone experiencing Chardonnay fatigue and looking to try something new would benefit from giving Pinot Blanc a try.

|Publisher, Developer
Namco is a Japanese video game publisher and developer. It is part of ANS.
History Edit
Namco was founded as Nakamura Manufacturing in 1955. The company ran children's' rides in Yokohama. The company received its modern name "Namco" in 1958 as a shortened form of "Nakamura AmusementMachine Manufacturing Company". In 1970, the company created its first "game," a mechanical driving simulator.
Meanwhile, by 1974, Atari's Japanese subsidiary "Atari Japan" was having financial difficulties. Atari's owner Nolan Bushnell sought to sell the company to the highest bidder. Namco's bid was the highest, and the company eventually paid half a million dollars. The deal secured Namco exclusive rights to distribute Atari's games in Japan for ten years.
Namco began creating original video games with 1978's Gee Bee. The next few years were full of major hits for Namco, including Galaxian, Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious.
After the video game crash of 1983, Namco became one of Nintendo's first licensees for the NES. By 1989, NES games alone accounted for 40% of Namco's income. However, Namco eventually lost some of the early rights Nintendo had given them, leading to their supporting Sega more during the fourth console generation.
In 1989, Namco worked with NEC on their PC Engine console. However, this worried Hudson Soft, another collaborator on the PC Engine, which felt that they might be abandoned in favor of the legendary Namco. This ultimately led to the platform's failure.
After Ohga Shrugs Edit
In the 1990's, Namco continued its arcade business by releasing some of the first major 3D games. Titles such as Ridge Racer, Soul Edge, and the Tekken series became arcade staples. However, the limits of consoles at the time prevented these games from being ported to them. The main exception to this rule was the console-specific Tales series, which flourished as one of the preeminent RPG franchises for the Saturn.
Namco finally became a major player in the console market again during the early 2000's, especially with ports of their 3D fighting games. Soulcalibur 2 in particular was one of the most popular fighting games of the console generation.
In 2004, Sammy Corporation was seeking to expand its arcade business to the video game realm. It saw Namco as a worthy addition, and the two companies would soon merge. Namco Sammy Holdings was officially formed on October 1, 2004.
Since the merger with Sammy, Namco's nature has changed, though not as a result of the merger. With the decline of the arcade business, especially after the Dreamcast's obsolescence made porting games more difficult and expensive, Namco was forced to adapt itself and its franchises to home consoles. Games like Soul Calibur IV and Tekken 6 were specifically made with consoles in mind. Meanwhile, the Tales series continued to be well received.
On November 1, 2013, Namco is becoming part of the new company ANS.

Family owned and operated, The Carpet Cleaners is devoted to constructing relationships by way of distinctive customer service and satisfaction. After wiping the spots clear of resolution the Dollar Tree purchase had greatly reduced the stain but it was still faintly seen, The OxiClean stain was completely gone. However, just like any type of air filter, the carpet must be cleaned typically in order that the dust that has been caught by the carpet gets removed.
The greatest strategy to know if that the carpet cleaners employee's have been correctly educated is to ensure the cleaner has been licensed by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). By doing this, you will not waste money and time hiring one other company if the cleansing process just isn't effective. By doing this, you will not only get monetary savings but you will also be certain that your office carpet lasts long. With no long waiting durations for the carpet to dry, it's a fast cleansing approach that ensures quick outcomes.
The answer isn't any. If you learn there assertion above it refers to The ZEROREZ® system and not The carpet cleaning process. The last tip is a bonus (I know we mentioned 4 nice carpet cleansing promoting concepts") for having come thus far. As a end result, a brand new chemical will likely be fashioned, which will begin to perform on the fibers of the carpet. With so many types, manufacturers, prices and capabilities to select from, choosing the perfect vacuum can be a challenge.
These cleanings procedures embody odor removing, spot and stain removing, in addition to cleaning of carpets and fabrics damaged and impaired from dust and grime brought on by heavy traffic. Although portable cleaning machines cannot clean as deeply as the machines that the professionals have, it is a great way to save money. We have expertise treating all flooring and fabric sorts in addition to every soiling condition recognized to our carpet cleansing business. It can take anywhere between eight-24 hours for the carpet to completely dry, relying on the aforementioned variables. You won't imagine what number of instances I've heard how disillusioned a home proprietor was with an in-home area rug cleansing.

Any arrangement that requires an employee to execute and deliver a release (or take some other action) as a condition to receiving severance or another deferred compensation payment should be promptly reviewed and, if necessary, amended for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A"). The review of such arrangements should be done even if the operative instruments were previously amended for compliance with Section 409A. Since the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which created the statutory provision, the IRS has issued multiple guidance and continues to identify issues that were previously not considered by practitioners to fall within the purview of the rules.
Section 409A requires that nonqualified deferred compensation plans comply with certain distribution election and timing of payment requirements, the violation of which results in the deferred compensation for the current and preceding years being immediately taxable and subject to a 20 percent penalty payable by the participant. The IRS has indicated that the interaction of release agreements and deferred compensation payments could run afoul of the rules thereby resulting in the adverse tax consequences.
The IRS noted that if an employee could have the opportunity to manipulate the timing of a deferred compensation payment through the employee's actions (e.g., by timing the execution of a release agreement), then that arrangement could violate Section 409A. The foregoing scenario is problematic because the employee could effectively shift the time of payment from one calendar year to another, which violates the Section 409A rules that prohibit the participant from delaying the time of distribution unless certain rigorous requirements are met. One common example is an employment agreement with a severance provision that conditions payment on the execution by the employee of a release. Assume there is an employment agreement which (1) is subject to Section 409A, (2) provides for a lump sum severance payment equal to 12 months of base salary, and (3) provides for payment within 60 days after the execution and delivery by the employee of a release. The IRS will conclude that the employee can effectively control which year the severance payment will be made by controlling the timing of the execution and delivery of the release and, therefore, this agreement does not comply with Section 409A. There are ways to amend such an agreement to comply with Section 409A. To take advantage of special relief offered by the IRS under IRS Notice 2010 6 and IRS Notice 2010 80 and to avoid the tax penalties of Section 409A, however, action needs to be taken by Dec. 31, 2012.

Making a Claim for Scaffolding Accidents & Injuries
Working on a building site can be a dangerous job. The tools and materials used see to that in their own right and when you add in the risks of exposure to the elements it's clear to see that construction work is on area within which its' vital that health and safety procedures are strictly adhered to. Of all the places in a building site, however, perhaps the most dangerous to work is up on scaffolding, since a slip, trip, fall or any other kind of accident taking place at height is bound to have greater ramifications than one which takes place at ground level.
The regulations covering scaffolding
The dangers posed by scaffolding have been recognised by the Health and Safety Executive which has drawn up a scaffold specific checklist which employers are expected to adhere to. This list includes the levels of training and competence of those who decide when scaffolding needs to be used and how to erect and dismantle it. On top of this there is a commitment to ensure that all scaffolding equipment is maintained in the best possible condition and checked on a regular basis.
Negligence in scaffolding accidents
Despite these precautions, and the fact that scaffolding has become generally safer in the last 30 years, people are still injured when working on scaffolding every single working week and the underlying cause of these work accidents can usually be traced to negligence in one form or another. In many cases this will involve something as simple as failing to construct or maintain the scaffolding properly, or it may be a specific failure such as a lack of guard rails or safety nets.
You don't necessarily even have to fall from the scaffold in question to suffer an injury, of course. You may be hit by debris dropping from unsafe scaffolding or even crushed beneath the weight of an entire collapsing scaffold.
Deciding whether to make a scaffolding injury claim
If you've been injured in any of these ways and feel that your employer was negligent in their approach to the scaffold in question then you might be in a position to launch a claim for negligence. A claim of this kind isn't designed to punish your employer, nor is it a way for you to cash in on an unfortunate accident. What it is, however, is an acknowledgement, via compensation, of the fact that you've been treated badly and suffered as a result. On top of this there will be a sum of money designed to reimburse you for any financial losses brought about as a direct result of the accident, such as lost earnings, medical bills or the cost of altering your home to accommodate mobility problems.
How to ensure the claim will be successful
Making a claim such as this consists of demonstrating that the person responsible for the safety of the scaffolding was negligent, and that this negligence was responsible for the accident which caused your injury. Doing this will be much simpler with the help of an experienced no win no fee lawyer, so if you've been injured in this manner then call us on 0800 234 6438 and we'll take down the details of your case. The more information you can bring to us, the better, since we'll use the facts to determine whether you're likely to win compensation. If you are then we'll do our best to make it happen.
Doing a dangerous job doesn't mean that you should take getting hurt for granted. On the contrary, it means that the people employing you should go the extra mile to ensure your safety. If they don't, then we'll go the extra mile to see to it that you're fully compensated.

WASHINGTON – When Jeb Bush sat down last summer to write an ambitious plan to overhaul the immigration system, prominent conservatives were calling for mass deportations as a solution to the problem of having 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.
In that environment, the former Florida governor and possible 2016 presidential hopeful came up with a proposal that he felt could bring conservatives to the table while simultaneously luring Latino voters to the GOP.
Half a year later, the proposal, fleshed out in a newly released book, has landed in the midst of a radically changed political environment. Bush's proposal – that illegal immigrants could become permanent legal residents, but not citizens – would have been toward the left end of Republican debate last summer. Now it is more conservative than the stance taken by several Republican senators, including Bush's friend and Florida protege, Marco Rubio.
And Bush, who had hoped his book, "Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution," would help set the agenda for his party, has instead spent the last two days struggling to find his footing and fending off accusations that he was undermining Senate negotiations and siding with hard-liners in the House.

It is the battery of the future, Zack Wheeler on the mound and Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate. Except for the Mets, it was the battery last night.
There is no time like the present.
That's especially so when the 23-year-old right-hander and the 24-year-old catcher present as they did in the 5-3 victory over the runaway train Braves in which Wheeler dominated through most of his 6 2/3 innings, and d'Arnaud collected the first hit of his big-league career in his fourth game and Citi Field debut.
"Indescribable," is the way d'Arnaud, well, described the feeling of lacing an eighth-inning double to left-center with his dad, Lance, in the stands to share in the moment. "I'm so happy for him. … I'm going to give the ball to him."
The promise is of better days ahead for this franchise that is enduring its fifth straight losing season. But there is gain with the pain that is accompanying the laying of building blocks, including those prominent ones called Wheeler, d'Arnaud and Matt Harvey.
The Mets don't really know yet beyond the projections of stardom for d'Arnaud, who was promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, when veteran incumbent catcher John Buck left the club on paternity leave, and how could they?
But they knew enough to keep d'Arnaud, even as Buck returned to the club last night following the birth of his third child. They also know the only value in keeping him is to give the young man an accelerated apprenticeship so they can learn as much about him and his readiness to be a 2014 lineup staple as he can learn about their pitching staff and the league.
Four games in, d'Arnaud is living up to the billing he carried to the organization after being acquired in the offseason blockbuster trade with the Blue Jays in which he, Buck and premier pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard were acquired for a package featuring R.A. Dickey.
No one ever has doubted his ability at the plate, but he has been impressive as well behind the plate — a potential problem area — through this small sample size.
"Everyone who has ever seen this guy has said if there's one thing he's going to do, it's hit," manager Terry Collins said. "Now that he knows he's going to be here, he's relaxing and receiving the ball better."
Wheeler was in complete command until he tired and loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh, departing after 114 pitches. Wheeler, who worked with d'Arnaud in Las Vegas before the catcher suffered a foot fracture in mid-April that sidelined him for approximately three months, had thrown first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 23 batters he faced through six innings.
"We stuck with the plan," d'Arnaud said. "I tried to read the batters' swings and make adjustments from there."
The plan is to have d'Arnaud as the No. 1 guy the rest of the way. That became easier for everyone when the kid rapped a Luis Ayala slider into left-center with two down in the eighth after going 0-for-his-first 10 with four strikeouts, including starting last night 0-for-3 with a pair of called Ks.
"It was a great feeling to finally get it out of the way," d'Arnaud said. "It was definitely weighing on me a little bit."
The Mets have been in operation for 52 seasons. There is a rich heritage on the mound, but the lineage of position players to celebrate is relatively thin. Fact is, not a single one of the 452 of them (other than Gil Hodges, memorialized for his work as a manager) has had his number retired.
But the pedigree behind the plate might be best of all, where Jerry Grote preceded Gary Carter, who preceded Mike Piazza. What, center field, with Tommie Agee, Lee Mazzilli, Mookie Wilson/Lenny Dykstra and Carlos Beltran? OK, maybe.
Still, if d'Arnaud has the right stuff, the argument will tilt and d'Arnaud will take his place in Mets history. That, at least, is the plan. The team, though, isn't content simply waiting for the future.
After all, there is no time like the present.

If the allegations are true and the overwhelming evidence suggest that they are, Bill Cosby is a rapist. And he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Mr. Cosby was considered a national treasure and given honors from the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to the title of America's Favorite Father.
Those accolades were earned because of Mr. Cosby's many charitable activities in support of the arts, education and the American family.
That lifetime of achievement, excellence and goodwill is gone. Since we now know that the man we all loved and admired as Doctor Huxtable. Used drugs to lure women into unwanted sex and as President Obama said recently, "That is rape".
Regardless of the judicial findings those of us who have been touched by Mr. Cosby's comic brilliance, his stand for civil rights or his classic television shows maybe wondering as I am: What to do with Mr. Cosby?
Knowing what I know now:
-Should I continue to enjoy the Cosby Show?
-Should I show my grandchildren the African art he contributed to the Smithsonian?
-Should I be in support the movement to strip him of all honors including the Medial of Freedom?
What should I do with Mr. Cosby?
For an answer to that question I myself asked another question: "What would Jesus do? "
As recorded in Luke's gospel, Jesus spoke with Simon Peter before leaving the Upper Room after the Last Supper, warning him of the coming test.
"Peter, let me tell you something. Between now and tomorrow morning when the rooster crows, you will deny me three times, declaring that you don't even know me." Luke 22: 34 NLT
And what did Jesus do? – He forgive Peter and rooted for His redemption.
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, with the ability to strengthen your brothers" Luke 22:31-32 NLT.
The very purpose of Christ's suffering and death on the Cross is not only forgiveness but also for redemption.
So what should we to do with Mr. Cosby?
– Yes he has done bad things
– Yes he should be punished
– Yes he has betrayed our trust
But so did Peter and what did Christ do with him?
However, more importantly in our lives
- We will do bad things – and will have people who will do bad things to us.
- We will betray and deny those who are close to us – and will have the same done to us.
- We will sin and – be sinned against
Therefore, like Christ:
I will forgive Mr. Cosby.
I will hope in his punishment that he will repent and find help
And I will root for his redemption.
While doing all of this I will pray that Jesus will forgive me and redeem me for the wrong I have done.
For Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

Alcohol and Addiction Training at the University of Missouri NIH/NIAAA Training Grant
The Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri offers intensive predoctoral and postdoctoral training in research in alcohol-related behavior and the addictions supported by an institutional training grant through the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Our goal is to provide high quality, multidisciplinary training in research on alcohol and other substance use and dependence and prepare trainees for careers as independent investigators. The number and diversity of psychology faculty members who study alcohol and addiction make the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri a premier training site.
Predoctoral Training:
Our training grant supports five students in four primary areas of graduate study (Cognition and Neuroscience, Clinical, Social, and Quantitative Psychology) through the Department of Psychological Sciences. Students interested in alcohol and addictions are enrolled in one of the psychology training areas (there is no "degree" in addiction research or alcohol studies) and focus their research, under the mentorship of one of the training grant faculty members, on alcohol and addiction related-topics. They also attend specialized seminars, and research training workshops. Trainees receive a stipend and funds for travel and training-related expenses according to established NIH guidelines for a period of 2-3 years of study. Information on stipend levels and similar topics can be found at the NIH website. In addition to support on the institutional training grant, students interested in alcohol and addictions also receive training support through research assistantships, university scholarships, and Individual National Research Service Awards (F31s). Students in the clinical training area are also provided opportunities to acquire clinical experience working with substance dependent individuals.
Postdoctoral Training:
The Department of Psychological Sciences, at the University of Missouri, (MU) has openings for at least TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWS IN ALCOHOL AND ADDICTIONS RESEARCH. Postdoctoral research fellows will undertake advanced training in addictions and pursue their own research interests under the supervision of one or more faculty preceptors. The positions are funded through an NIH Institutional Training grant and only US citizens and permanent residents can be considered. The training period typically lasts three years, and postdocs participate in many of the same specialized activities as predocs. Doctoral candidates and recent Ph.D.'s interested in research opportunities offered by the training grant faculty (and described in the faculty pages of this website) are encouraged to contact us for more information. Information on postdoctoral traineeship stipends and requirements, including service payback, is available here and here.
The training faculty have diverse interests in a number of sub-disciplines of psychological science. Trainees can work in the areas of behavioral pharmacology (Denis McCarthy, Bruce Bartholow, Ken Sher), behavioral and molecular genetics (Wendy Slutske, Ian Gizer), quantitative methods (Doug Steinley, Clint Davis-Stober, Phil Wood), nosology and comorbidity (Tim Trull, Ken Sher, Doug Steinley, Tom Piasecki, Wendy Slutske), ambulatory assessment (Tom Piasecki, Tim Trull), personality and individual differences (Lynne Cooper, Tim Trull, Ken Sher, Wendy Slutske), developmental approaches (Ian Gizer, Ken Sher, Phil Wood), decision making (Clint Davis-Stober, Denis McCarthy), and psychophysiology (Bruce Bartholow, Tim Trull, Ken Sher).
These positions are for up to three years of training and can begin anytime after July 1, 2017. We will begin reviewing an applicant as soon as we have received all application materials. Send vita, up to 5 representative reprints, a cover letter describing your research interests and training goals to firstname.lastname@example.com, and make arrangements for 3 letters of reference to be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com or materials can be sent to: Addiction Research Training, c/o Carol Waudby, Dept. of Psychological Sciences, 200 S. 7th Street, University of Missouri,Columbia, MO 65211, 573-882-1682.

Mine's been a hoot! Mr Mollydag took the dreamlets to see the new Thomas the Tank Engine movie on Saturday and left me (and my sewing machine) at home to finish up a bunch of projects that were all on the go at once.
One of my favourites that is finally complete is the Magnetic Fishing Set that I've been working on. I'm so pleased with my little rainbow school of fish I thought I'd play around with some stop-motion animation today to showcase their fishiness.
Am I not the biggest Mollydag of them all!!! My housewifely duties have been thoroughly ignored this weekend while I indulged myself but I had such a fun time though. The Boy & I even made a short film this afternoon of his Lightning McQueen & Pals racing along the path.
Stop motion is so easy (time consuming, but easy), you should give it a go.
Between 'shoots', we drove out to the Midland Farmers Markets. It has been ages since we've made it out there, with one thing or another happening on the weekend and I'm really pleased we did today. It was fabulous to walk amongst the piles of fresh fruit & veges.
The Boy & I played a game while Daddy shopped - Find the Rainbow.We did pretty well with the exeption of blue. Hmmm,no blueberries here in Perth so we had to settle for a stack of blue strawberry boxes (cheating I know). It was a great way to amuse a 4 yr old boy & I'll be playing that game again for sure.
Look at this poppet. She is obsessed with flowers at the moment. It seems she is always carrying some kind of foliage around with her. It is good but on more than one occasion, we've had a mini-meltdown when said posy can't be located as it's fallen on the ground or been forgotten when something else has taken her fancy. Luckily she is most often placated with a new pretty to hold.
Our day was rounded out with a game of Boules with Poppy. The kids just love going up to 'the bush' to his house. There is so much to see and explore.
Well, I hope that you all had as much fun as I did this weekend. I'm now off to put my feet up in front of the idiot box for a scant few minutes before crashing into bed.
Night Night.

Film trifecta tops U.K. trio's slate
EmptyA vintage British television classic, a former prime minister and an elderly man who joins a choir are central to three movie projects being developed by the triumvirate of BBC Films, Pathe and the U.K. Film Council as part of the trio's big-budget joint development slate, the parties said Monday.
The French-owned, U.K.-based Pathe, BBC Films and the Film Council are jointly developing a big-screen version of the classic 1970s BBC television series "Upstairs, Downstairs," from a script by Fay Weldon.
Weldon penned the first episode of the original series, which revolves around an aristocratic, Edwardian-era family that lives upstairs in a house with their servants below.
Mike Mansfield and Hilary McLaren Tipping will produce for Mike Mansfield Films.
The trio also are developing a movie that follows British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during the run-up to the 1982 Falklands War (HR 3/19). Brian Fillis wrote the script based on an original concept by himself and producer Damian Jones.
The three also are backing the tale of a recently widowed elderly man who gets more than he bargained for musically and emotionally when he joins an unconventional choir. Paul Andrew Williams, who won plaudits for "London to Brighton," is penning "The Choir," with Ken Marshall producing for Steel Mill Pictures.
Two other films round out the initial five-picture slate from the trio, including a script from Oscar winner Julian Fellowes ("Gosford Park") and "Harry Potter" series producer David Heyman.
Fellowes is writing "Emma & Nelson," a historical love story about a country girl who embarks on a passionate affair with Admiral Nelson before falling from grace after his death at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Nick Barton and Suzanne Mackie of Harbour Pictures, the team behind "Calendar Girls," will produce "Emma."
Heyman is producing "The Thirteenth Tale," based on the New York Times best-seller by Diane Setterfield, which blends a ghost story with mystery.
Pathe united with BBC Films and the Film Council last year to establish a three-year, $24 million joint development plan to "identify bigger properties with commercial potential."
The idea is to allow the filmmaking companies to band together on projects that might be deemed too expensive for them to acquire or develop individually, the parties said.
Said Pathe U.K. managing director Cameron McCracken: "We have had to compete aggressively for these properties, and we are confident that the industry is now aware that we are ready to step up to the plate for the right projects."

"…The third century for Allegheny will include new ways of educating the complete person, inviting all of our students to explore the breadth of interests and talents that define their promise and their potential.
We will define new and compelling ways to inspire our students to set their extraordinary talents to the timeless values of citizenship – values grounded in a deep sensitivity to the dignity of the individual; values that grow from a disciplined mind and a selfless heart, from a passion tempered by reason, an ambition leavened by humility, a love of country animated by the pursuit of justice and a dedication to service that is framed by the awareness of something larger than themselves.
…. Allegheny College is not and never will be an island, aloof and apart from this community and its needs. To the people of Meadville and Crawford County, and to the world beyond, I promise that service will always be integral to the identity of our campus. And as we shape the future of Allegheny we embrace our responsibilities to the future of this region. We will live the lessons we teach and in doing so work in humble partnership wherever and however we can serve.
…. So get up every morning, put on your blue and gold, and set your remarkable talents and promise to the joy of learning and to the work of citizenship; and in doing so help Allegheny define its greatness today, tomorrow and in all the tomorrows yet to come."
— (Inaugural Remarks: President James H. Mullen, Jr., October 17, 2008)

The United Nations special representative for Somalia, Mohammed Sahnoun, resigned his post Oct. 26 following a dispute with UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali over his outspoken criticism of UN activities, diplomats and UN sources said. But they said the resignation offer had not yet been accepted.
Mr. Sahnoun, a former Algerian ambassador to Paris, Washington, and Bonn, was appointed in late April to oversee the UN's Somalia operations, including relief efforts and peace negotiations.
Other diplomats said France, the United States, and Britain were looking for ways to make Sahnoun reverse his decision.
UN sources said Mr. Boutros-Ghali, responding to complaints from UN relief agencies, objected to Sahnoun's public criticism that the UN had moved too late to save thousands of Somalis from starvation.
Sahnoun has said that UN relief agencies were initially too bureaucratic to mount a major operation to distribute humanitarian supplies.

Hi,I have about 10 years until retirement. Given the economy, I wonder if my IRA's will exist when I retire; by that I mean, today I have x shares of an IRA mutual fund. Between now and retirement when I withdraw from the IRA, the price per share of the mutual fund will vary, and when I start to withdraw I will do so at the then per-share price. However, what if the stocks that make up the mutual fund become worthless (bankruptcy, etc) along the way to retirement (faster than a fund manager could switch out of them for something else)? I am not so conerned that the share price will be low when I retire, but that the number of shares in the IRA are reduced because the underlying companies went out of business. Is this a valid worry?Thanks for feedback.

It's become something of a ritual. New York's Gov. Mario M. Cuomo makes a speech in Washington, or he appears on a television news show. He is asked repeatedly, from every conceivable angle, whether he wants to run for the presidency of the United States in 1988.
And the governor always says no. The question is carried further - if the Democratic convention were deadlocked, if the leaders of the party came to him and pleaded, would he turn down a draft?
Well, no, says the governor. And the headlines go out - Cuomo might accept a draft. His fans grin. His critics groan. The next speech the governor makes, the introducers make sly comments about hoping for a miracle at the convention, regardless of what the governor says he wants. The audience listens closely for hints. Reporters look at one another knowingly and say, ``There's a man that wants the presidency.''
The fuss over Mario Cuomo is on again. It will die down after a bit. People will pay more attention to declared presidential candidates. But there will always be an eye cast toward Cuomo. Who is he tilting toward? What actually did the chairman of the Democratic National Committee say to him about a draft? What were his reasons for visiting the Soviet Union last month, and why is he sounding off on national and global issues?
In a speech before the New York State Industrial Cooperation Council yesterday, the governor talked about the US economic situation and the global economy. It is a favorite topic of his, and one that leads some observers to believe that he is positioning himself for a run.
In his address, Cuomo makes frequent criticisms of the seven years of the Reagan administration. He champions the idea of a national commission on the economy, to advise the next administration - ``whether that be President Dole ... or Bush or Dukakis or Jackson or whoever.'' Cuomo says he doesn't have all the answers, but he underscores some themes: realism on the part of all Americans; cooperation of labor, business, and the government; a more active federal role in the US economy.
The audience seizes on the ``whoever.'' Felix Rohatyn, a Wall Street financier with a wide following in the Democratic Party, says jokingly he hopes ``Governor Whoever'' might be the one doing some of the things suggested in the speech.
There are some in the Democratic Party who would like to see Cuomo run. He is considered progressive and pragmatic, with both a philosophical and intellectual bent.
The current spate of interest in Cuomo began when New York Magazine published a piece investigating charges that the governor has something to hide in his family background. The magazine concluded that the evidence was pretty flimsy.
Next came a report that candidate Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts was seeking Cuomo's support, but that Cuomo was not endorsing anyone. Not exactly earth-shattering news. But then Cuomo praised a candidate, Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois, and suddenly political observers were thrown off balance. Was this an endorsement? Was Cuomo unhappy with Dukakis? Denials came from all camps.
The Democratic Party's most widely traveled and listened to noncandidate appeared on an NBC News broadcast last week and again said he would make a 1988 presidential bid if he was told it was his ``obligation'' to run. He then quieted rumors on another news broadcast several days later by saying that there will not be a draft at the 1988 Democratic national convention.
But Cuomo raised still more speculation early this week when he said at a news conference that he would no longer talk about his presidential potential. But he added that Paul Kirk, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, had told him not to make a ``Shermanesque,'' referring to William Tecumseh Sherman's 1884 statement to the Republican Party convention that ``I will not accept if nominated. I will not serve if elected.''
Denials again. Mr. Kirk said he has not talked to Cuomo about a possible draft but had said that a Sherman-like statement was unnecessary. Later Cuomo said he had not meant to imply that Kirk wanted him to keep his options open.

Denim rompers for women are the latest trends and buzz this year, as you can look around and see countless examples of celebrities making this the next great thing. Kensie, is one of the most popular brands of the denim romper. Kensie is just one of those pieces/brands that you love to get pieces and mix and match with your wardrobe. Kensies most popular denim romber is a halter at the neck, and crops below the knees with bubbly hems. Without a doubt it is a very comfortable piece, stirring up some controversy in the fashion industry.
For those looking for a cheaper solution than the Kensies found at Free People, Forever 21 is supposed to have denim rompers for women as well. The latest craze of denim rompers supposedly is attributed to Jillian in the Bachelorette. Famous in the date scene, Jillian wears a denim jumper/romper, which looked absolutely stunning. Do keep in mind that these are selling like hotcakes, and at the time of writing they were available at the various stores mentioned. After doing some research it appears that Armani Exchange can be the source for Jillian's romper.
This is absolutely one of the seasons/years hottest denim trends, Rompers are excellent for a great low-key day look, while a long jumpsuit version can often be attributed to a more elegant night out, add some metallic heels for an even more elegant look. We've seen denim rompers for women from the following companies, Charlotte Ronson Denim Romper, Heartloom Lexi Denim Romper, Twelfth St. Strapless Romper, Madewell for Shopbop Biolersuit Romper (our favorite).

What would happen if apple was to create a search engine?
- They would call it iSearch
- Steve jobs would come and say that they have "Reinvented the Internet", iSearch -- it changed everything!
- Websites have to go through an approval process to be included in their search results
- iSearch won't index any website containing Adobe Flash
- A yearly subscription will be required to include your website in their search results
- They will build an API for their search engine and the whole internet has to use it in order to integrate with the search engine
- Websites must be optimized for iOS to be indexed
- Apple would ship a hardware search device that uses iSearch service
- Any website promoting Microsoft cannot - for technical reasons - be included in their search engine index
What do you have in mind for the new iSearch? :)

A jury soon will be able to hear that a lone witness identified Jeriah Christopher Woody as the young man who gunned down two street preachers in Boynton Beach three and a-half years ago.
Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Richard Oftedal last week rejected a defense request to throw out the results of a police photo lineup three days after the Jan. 30, 2010, killings of Tite Sufra, 24, and Stephen Ocean, 23.
The ruling comes ahead of a trial to begin Sept. 23 before Circuit Judge John Kastrenakes. Woody, 21, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and faces life in prison if convicted.
Police said the victims had just preached to Woody for about 15 minutes before he fired at them in the 100 block of Southwest Second Avenue. Sufra was shot once in the head, and Ocean was first shot in the buttocks and then in the head, execution-style, according to an arrest report.
During their investigation, detectives received a tip that Woody, who used the street name "Plug," was involved.
The witness, who was with Sufra and Ocean and ran to safety, then fingered Woody as the shooter during a Feb. 2, 2010, photo lineup; Woody was arrested the next day.
But at hearing last month, Assistant Public Defender James Snowden argued the lineup was illegal because Woody's photo unfairly stood out from the five others — he was wearing a bright white tank top.
Oftedal, in a July 23 order, agreed with Assistant State Attorney Terri Skiles that Woody's lineup picture "was not unnecessarily suggestive" and police acted appropriately.

From left: Janette Hopper, Chancellor Meadors, Suellen Cabe and Donna Payne
Janette Hopper, chair of the UNC Pembroke Art Department, currently has her artwork on display at the Chancellor's Office on the fourth floor of Lumbee Hall.
The exhibit will continue throughout the semester. The artwork is comprised of 10 oil paintings and four watercolors depicting landscapes from the Michigan and Montana areas.
Chancellor Meadors said the artwork brightens up the office and has met with favorable response.
"Everyone thinks they're great," he said. "We are very pleased that Jannette would allow us to display her work."
Prior to Hopper's artwork, the chancellor's office displayed portraits of former Chancellors. These paintings will now reside in the Chancellors dinning room.
University Attorney Donna Payne, Suellen Cabe, director of Institutional Research and Pecouse Lucas, of the chancellor's staff, collaborated to coordinate the art project.
"We thought it was a good idea that we may be able to build on in the future," Payne said. "For some time, we have been looking for art to display, and this is a great opportunity for us."
"We are hopeful that we can continue displaying artist's work," Payne said. "We have our eye on one or two other prospects."
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Hopper's work has been displayed widely in the United States and abroad. She became chair of the art department in July 2002, coming to UNCP from Central Michigan University.
The exhibit brings the outdoors to life inside the offices.
"I like to bring the evocative aspects of the landscape to my work," Hopper said. "I appreciate the chancellor's office asking me to exhibit. It's an honor."

Solid Raiden? Kojima Teases Next MGS Mission
Mission: The Next MGS
As everyone should be aware, Hideo Kojima gave the keynote speech at GDC '09 today. He talked about the entire scope of the Metal Gear Solid franchise and the experiences that came with the territory. He talked about his passion for games and how the tides have changed for Japanese developers. Today we are in a world where Western developers are leading the herd. Kojima feels that Japanese developers must combine the two methods to be successful in this ever changing industry. This is exactly where he would like to take the Metal Gear Solid franchise. As his keynote was coming to a close, he played an entertaining video that showed Snake leaping, climbing, and stumbling across blocks. The video stopped showing a frame with the ominous words "Mission: The Next MGS". Even more intriguing was the figure standing in the background of the frame that looked an awful lot like a cyborg ninja. Does this mean Raiden will star in the next MGS? Internet forums, blogs and other news outlets have been teeming with speculation as to what this means.

Sunday's game between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is sure to be one of the worst of Week 17.
With nothing to play for the Saints (6-9) and Buccaneers (2-13) will simply be looking to finish up the season without injury in this one.
Coverage of the game between these two will air on FOX beginning at 1:00 pm ET from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. The Buccaneers are 0-7 at home this year could they end the year with a win?
The Odds: The Saints are 4 point favorites against the Buccaneers. The over/under for this game is 47 total points.
Will this one offer anything worth viewing or does it prove to be one of those end of year game that everyone dreads?

A year ago to the day I was in Norway, walking the streets of Oslo and hoping to cross paths with Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe (of course they would be together). Even though the Kings of Convenience did not come along and sing softly to me, it is still fun to remember my time spent in the land of Sondre Lerche.
This is the first photo that I took in Oslo that day. Also, it is the most important one.
But then I stumbled over to Det Kongelige Slott, Oslo's Royal Palace.
In Aker Brygge, I had a lovely reker lunch…
and a beautiful sjokolade og kaffe gelato dessert.
Then my mom dropped her driver's license in front of Oslo Rådhuset (but found it sitting in our mailbox when we returned home, along with a note from a kindly Norwegian).
It was a very nice day.

Michael Jackson's lost song
A LOST Michael Jackson song is being sold by his former skin doctor.
These lyrics are pretty intriguing and will attract a lot of attention.
The eerie handwritten verse appears on a scrap of paper the Man In The Mirror star gave to Dr Arnold Klein, 66.
And he reckons Jacko may have predicted his own death in the creepy note.
Bankrupt Dr Klein introduced Michael to Debbie Rowe, who became his wife and had his children Prince Michael, 14, and Paris, 13.
The Los Angeles branch of auctioneers Bonhams is putting the lyrics under the hammer and expect them to fetch more than £3,000.
Catherine Williamson, from Bonhams, said: "There are eight-and-a-half lines and they feel like lyrics. Maybe it was a work in progress. These lyrics are pretty intriguing and will attract a lot of attention."
The auction is on January 23.

After a wonderful but exhausting trip to Illinois, Michigan, and Tennessee, we're home safe and sound.
Ethan is astounded at how much this house looks like our house. The fans are like the ones at our house! His room is like his room at our house! And we even have the same toys here! We've given up telling him it IS our house - the very same one, yes it is.
But for now? I'm falling asleep sitting up, so off to bed with me.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Has Ethan realized he is home yet? We were out of state for the holidays for a little over a week with the boys and it was nice, but hard. Ty'Lain was back into his routine as soon as we got back home. Whew!

Yes, I think he figured it out. It didn't help that when we got home it was late and he'd been sleeping in the van, so he was quite out of it. Hehehe
Ah...routine. We're trying to get settled back in here, too.
