ALBANY, N.Y., March 1 (UPI) -- The National Rifle Association chief told a gun-rights rally New York's governor was willing to "sacrifice" the Constitution "on the altar of his own ambition."
"New York has proven once again that it can top Washington in terms of the high-handedness of some of the people that hold its highest offices," NRA President David Keene told more than 5,000 opponents of the state's new gun-control law.
The law was pushed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and enacted Jan. 15, a month and a day after Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings that killed 20 children and six adult staff members and wounded two others.
"I'm here to join you in protesting the fact that your governor is willing to sacrifice the Constitution, your rights as citizens and the prerogatives of his Legislature on the altar of his own ambition and on the ego of Michael Bloomberg of New York City," Keene said outside the state Capitol in Albany.
Bloomberg is a staunch advocate of gun control. New York City has even tighter restrictions than the state law.
The state NY SAFE Act broadens the definition of banned assault weapons and makes magazine ammunition storage and feeding devices containing more than seven bullets unlawful.
It also increases penalties for illegal gun possession, reduces public access to gun-permit information and lets mental health professionals report concerns about gun-owning patients who might be at risk of harming themselves or others.
The bill, officially known as the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, passed quickly last month through a "message of necessity" that waived a legally required three-day waiting period.
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican, voted for the bill and allowed it to go to the floor -- an action the Times Union of Albany said was key to letting it become law.
But rally organizers directed their anger at Cuomo.
"He's like a bad penny that keeps turning up," Keene said, reminding the crowd of Cuomo's job as housing and urban development secretary from 1997 to 2001 during the Clinton administration.
Some activists at the rally held placards calling for Cuomo's impeachment, while others held signs depicting Cuomo with a Hitler-like mustache, the Times Union said.
Cuomo, appearing at an event in Brooklyn, stood by the SAFE Act.
"I'm very proud that the state finally made progress with a comprehensive bill, but an intelligent bill," Cuomo told reporters. "I am a gun owner. This is not about taking anyone's gun. This is not about saying there's no such thing as the Second Amendment. And I think that's the fear: People think that government is going to come and literally take their guns away. That's not what it's about."
He called gun control "politically controversial" but "long overdue."

To mark the bicentennial of the great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra presented its first-ever live simulcast: Verdi's Requiem Mass, performed by CSO Music Director Riccardo Muti, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Chorus, with soprano Tatiana Serjan, mezzo-soprano Daniela Barcellona, tenor Mario Zeffiri and bass Ildar Abdrazakov. The performance — on Oct. 10, the exact date of Verdi's birth— was streamed to thousands worldwide via a partnership of dozens of websites. So far, more than 100,000 have watched the webcast.
Of the simulcast, the New York Times wrote: "Filming orchestra musicians up close can be problematic, resulting in endless shots of wind players with puffed-out cheeks and string players sawing away. But the camera crew at Orchestra Hall found a more creative balance, capturing the flying bows during the Tuba Mirum and the fierce commitment in the face of the percussionist during the Dies Irae. … This [performance] proved a rewarding interpretation. Alluring dynamic contrasts and shadings rendered the performance exciting and moving by turns, with impeccable playing from the orchestra and exemplary singing by the Chicago Symphony Chorus."

Well, I mentioned earlier last week that Cher was rumored to be cast as the next Catwoman. Fortunately, it looks like those casting rumors have been debunked! Warner Bros. representative has officially stated that "those casting rumors are untrue." Thank goodness, watching an aged Catwoman purrring on the big screen in the final installation of Nolan's Batman series would have NOT have been a prrrr-fect ending to a thus far perfect series of films.
I've already discussed a bit here why I think Catwoman should be passed on for another quality villain, but should Nolan decide to bring her back for a third time to the big screen then these would be my top 3 choices of actresses to play The Cat.
1. Angelina Jole. This one is a no-brainer. She looks perfect for the role and imagine how she would look in that Catwoman suit (no, not the disastrous Halle Berry version).
2. Eva Green. She played the nice girl turned naughty girl, Vesper Lynd, in 2006's Casino Royale. She's fresh and she's young and I think Nolan would have a lot to work with should he pick Green.
3. Hilary Swank. Having won two academy awards, she's definitely got the acting chomps to pull off the role as the expert burglar. She doesn't have that sexy look of an Angelina Jolie, but she does scream female empowerment, which is what Catwoman is all about. If Nolan were to portray a Batman: Year One type Catwoman than I think Swank would fit the bill.Â
Who do you guys think would be the perfect Catwoman?

Editor's Note: A few days ago Scrapbook Update identified banners as one of the key product trends at CHA Winter 2010. Now, Contributing Writer May Flaum takes a closer look at that trend.
A few months back, I noticed banner patterned paper in a Studio Calico kit. I've also noticed digital brushes and other files from Rhonna Farrer at House of 3 that I like a lot. The more I think about it, the more paper banners make sense in scrapbooking. I am not sure why, but it would seem 2010 is destined to be a year of banners in scrapbooking. This is one trend that is picking up speed quickly!
{image above from American Crafts CHA booth – the Dear Lizzie collection}
Banners were all over the sneak peeks for CHA-Winter, and once on the show floor I noticed them everywhere – both decorating the booths and on product as well. Here are a few examples:
Melody Ross (above) has chipboard that could be turned into a decorative banner, mini book, or so much more. Webster's Pages (below) has incorporated banners into their paper and ribbon.
The Dear Lizzie line from American Crafts (above) held banners in all forms from paper embellishments and patterned paper to stamps. October Afternoon (below) has a lovely banner sticker in their new "go fly a kite" line.
Making Memories (above) has a whole set of travel stickers full of banners and colors that make me want to take a vacation to somewhere warm. Jenni Bowlin (below) introduced make-your-own banner stickers. I think these are clever, and because they are paired with alphabet stickers on the same sheet, you can make titles or decorative accents for your projects as well.
Maya Road, The Girls' Paperie, and several other companies also have products with banners coming out. There's so many choices! Now, as products become available in stores, the next question is – how will I incorporate this trend in my crafting? My number one suggestion is that you make sure that your banners aren't just floating around on your project. Ground them to the edge of a photo, to the edge of the paper, to an embellishment, or to some other element on your page.
To make your own banners, I have two suggestions. First, try cutting out squares of patterned paper and then cutting from the bottom center up to the top corner of each side. This will give you a pretty triangle like the example I've shown below.
My second suggestion is that you use a triangle punch, or if you want a different feel you can use a circle punch and cut it in half and string the pieces together.
Here is a layout I created with the new Jenni Bowlin banner stickers:
supplies: New Jenni Bowlin stickers and buttons, October Afternoon patterned paper from Thrift Shop line, Prima flowers and rhinestones, American Crafts pen, unknown trim, cardstock, and buttons
I went for a relaxed imperfect look to my banner, and I really like how these stickers come with little alphabet letters. The neutral colors will work well for a number of page subjects.
I look forward to seeing banners incorporated in more pages as these products hit the shelves. From every day occasions to birthdays, I can see a lot of possibilities here. Across the top, in the center, for titles, over a corner, at the bottom, or any other way you cut it – I am loving this new trend!

Early on, and throughout Friday�s opening round playoff game versus Southeast Raleigh, the New Bern Bears were dealt adverse situations by the scrappy visitors.
Early on, and throughout Friday�s opening round playoff game versus Southeast Raleigh, the New Bern Bears were dealt adverse situations by the scrappy visitors.
New Bern rode stellar performances from quarterback Mike Hughes, running back Cody Purdie and its defense to a 35-21 opening round playoff victory.
�We didn�t start well at all but a lot of that is credit to Southeast Raleigh,� New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said. �We dug ourselves a hole, but we climbed back out of it.�
The Bears fumbled on the opening drive of the game which led to a touchdown by the Bulldogs and a 7-0 lead after a quarter.
New Bern battled back, tying the score at 14-14, thanks to a 9-yard touchdown pass from Hughes to Theron Noble and a 9-yard run by Hughes.
The Bulldogs won the opening coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. On the first drive of the third quarter, sophomore quarterback Dylan Parham hit Jaquell Taylor for his third passing touchdown and a 21-14 SE Raleigh advantage.
The Bulldogs (who finish the season 4-7) wouldn�t sniff paydirt again as New Bern�s defense battened down.
Two more rushing touchdowns from Hughes � of which the latter came with two minutes remaining in the game � put New Bern back on top 28-21.
Parham and the Bulldogs had the last gasp and converted on fourth-and-16 with 1:11 left on the clock to extend their chance.
After a spike, with 47.5 seconds to go, Parham launched a deep ball that nestled into the arms of the Bears� Felix Fisher, who returned it 83 yards for a victory-sealing touchdown.
�Our defense did a great job doing what it�s done all year. They did what they needed to and didn�t try to do too much,� Curlings said. �They�ve been on the money all year long.�
The Bears picked Parham three times � all in the fourth quarter.
Hughes accounted for 125 yards through the air with a touchdown and ran for 85 and three scores.
Purdie rushed for 117 yards on 14 carries and had a crucial sack of Parham prior to Fisher�s pick.
�I told our guys that I was very proud of them tonight and they should be too,� Southeast Raleigh coach Marvin Burke said. �(New Bern) made the plays tonight late and we didn�t. Having that experience of being defending state champions made a difference.�
The Bears improve to 9-3 on the season and head to No. 1 seed Scotland County next Friday, who trounced Heritage 56-21.
This marks the third consecutive season the Bears have met the Scots in the playoffs, each team winning one (Scotland in 2011, New Bern in 2012).

Your doctor has prescribed a medicine to prevent blood clots. The generic name for this medicine is warfarin. Coumadin® (COO-ma-din) is the name of the first brand of warfarin that was available. In this sheet, the name "Coumadin®" will be used because that is the name that many patients are most likely to hear. Warfarin and Coumadin® are the same medicine. All of this information applies to warfarin and to Coumadin®.
Coumadin® is an anticoagulant (an-tih-ko-AG-you-lent). Coumadin® is also referred to as a blood thinner. While it does not actually thin your blood, it will prevent blood clots from forming in the blood vessels. If you already have a blood clot, Coumadin® helps to keep the blood clot from getting larger and will protect you from forming new clots.
Your doctor may also prescribe Coumadin® even if you don't currently have a blood clot. This is to protect you from developing blood clots if you have certain medical conditions.
It is very important to follow the instructions for your anticoagulant. Coumadin® is a medication that you take by mouth once a day. You should try to take your Coumadin® at the same time every day, preferably in the evening.
Your doctor will prescribe the dose of Coumadin® that is best for you. Coumadin® tablets are made in several strengths. Each tablet strength comes in a different color. This is called "color coding." Several companies make generic warfarin tablets, but some use different color codes and often different shapes.
Do not rely on the color of your tablet to check the dose strength. Always check the dosage numbers on the tablet or the strength listed on the bottle. If your medicine looks different from what you had before or you are in doubt about the strength of your Coumadin® tablets, ask your pharmacist.
While you take Coumadin®, your doctor will order a blood test called PT/INR to see how long it takes your blood to clot. "PT" stands for protime. "INR" stands for international normalized ratio. The test results show if your dose needs to be adjusted. If your dose must be changed, your doctor or health care provider will call you and tell you the new dose to take.
It is very important that you keep all your appointments for blood tests and follow-up visits with your doctor. Your doctor will decide how long you need to take your anticoagulant.
If you miss a dose of Coumadin®, take the missed dose as soon as possible on the same day. Do not take a double dose the next day to make up for a missed dose. Call your health care provider any time you have missed a dose.
You will be able to do most of your normal activities while taking this medicine. You need to follow some precautions.
If you have any of the following, call your doctor or anticoagulation provider:
Vitamin K from food and dietary supplements can interfere with the blood-thinning effects of Coumadin®. It is important to keep your intake of Vitamin K the same every day. Changing the amount of Vitamin K you get could result in bleeding or an unwanted blood clot.
It is very important to be consistent. For instance, if you eat a half-cup of a high Vitamin K food daily, continue to eat this same amount each day.
High Vitamin K foods (listed with the highest first)
For example, it would not be wise to eat leaf lettuce at every meal and then stop eating it entirely. It would be better to substitute another medium Vitamin K food from the list below for the leaf lettuce.

Stretch your body a little every day
Don't tell Raju Mantina you can't find the time to stretch every day. I tried, and he would have none of it.
Fifteen to 60 minutes every night before you go to bed, he says in a tone that leaves no room for argument. "People tell me, 'I don't have time to exercise and to stretch,' " he tells me in an accent still heavy with the tones of his native India. "I am not one who will listen to this. It's a total lie."
There are a lot of massage therapists and trainers out there. I've met quite a few in the more than four years that I've written this column. Not many approach their work with Mantina's missionary zeal.
"Movement is an opportunity, not an inconvenience," he tells me. "That [should be] the mentality of our entire life."
Stretching and massage are not part of my fitness routine, but I went to see Mantina, 57, last week at the practice he maintains in his Rockville, Md., home. I was just back from a vacation that included four days of strenuous hiking in southern Utah, and my legs, which are always tight, were particularly stiff. A friend at The Post whom Mantina has stretched and massaged for years recommended him.
When I learned that Mantina had worked on athletes at the 2000, 2002 and 2004 Olympics and at four U.S. Olympic track and field trials, I decided to give him a try. My skepticism waned when I saw photos of Mantina with Kenenisa Bikele, the Ethiopian world record holder in the 5,000- and 10,000-meter runs who is widely considered one of the greatest distance runners in history, and Hicham El-Guerrouj, the Moroccan who holds the world records in both the mile and the 1,500-meter races. Mantina's walls are adorned with photos and posters of other Olympic athletes and with his credentials from those games.
Mantina, once a university-level track and field athlete in Hyderabad, India, volunteers that he was secretly an alcoholic the entire time, for most of his adult life in fact -- a bottle-a-day drinker who had previously worked as a gardener and run a liquor store. After he injured his back working in his garden and received massage therapy himself, he decided to change his career. He trained at the Potomac Massage Training Institute and opened a practice. He says he has been sober for 10 months.
I've booked a 90-minute session of total body stretching and massage, but by the time Mantina and I finish discussing his philosophy of movement, stretching and massage, there are only 30 minutes left. I suggest Mantina just work on my legs. I describe the wall stretch I do before and after every run, the one you can find depicted in every gym in the land. I am careful to mention that I warm up first.
It doesn't matter; Mantina is not happy. "You are just putting a load on those muscles," he tells me, not stretching them. I lean over and try to touch my toes but fall about six inches short. This has always been the case, even when I was young.
Upstairs on his massage table, Mantina gets to work. His fingers quickly find the sore spots in my gastrocnemius muscles, and he begins to stretch them in every direction, explaining that he can't do anything about my hamstrings until he loosens my calves.
"How are my hamstrings, compared to the average person's?" I ask at one point. "Terrible," Mantina responds. At another he says: "You need to lose some weight."
Okay then.
He begins to loosen my hamstrings, closing his eyes and leaning into them with his shoulder. "C'mon," he commands when he wants me to push through the pain and stiffness a little more. "C'mon."
After 30 minutes, I stand, enjoying the loose feeling from my achilles tendon all the way to my hips. I bend over and am four inches closer to touching the floor. Not bad for a half-hour's work.
Now that he's getting older, Mantina wants to spend more time teaching, to bring his philosophy of movement, stretching and massage to as many people as he can. He is looking for an assistant to take some of the load off his practice. If people would follow his principles, especially stretching, many would feel so much better, he says.
"You are using your tools all day," he says of the human body. "You are cleaning them and putting them back, so they are ready for the next day."

Use colour strategically. Colour in forms should be used with care - but used well it can really aid form completion and navigation. In general, yellow, for example, is a colour to avoid as much as possible - text set in yellow on a typical light background can be very hard to read - and people can find yellow aggressive.
A light shade of a colour, like blue, across the whole background of a form relieves the eye from the harshness of a stark white background. And if the answer spaces people have to fill in are white, the tinted background both cues them in to where they write, and allows them to visually sense how much they have to fill in.
In this context interactive forms can be programmed so that the user can only tick/check one (known as a radio button as distinct from check-boxes), or presented with the options in a drop-down menu from which the user can only select one.
Use appropriate response mechanisms. Paper forms have the disadvantage that users can miss, or simply disregard, an instruction. For example, only tick/check one box from a list of 15 or 20 options.

SAN FRANCISCO-The Harvard sailing team completed its season with a 10th-place finish in the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship Monday through Wednesday at the St. Francis Yacht Club.
It was the third top-10 national finish of the trip for the Crimson, which also placed 10th in the ICSA Women's National Championship and took sixth in the ICSA Team Race National Championship. Harvard repeated its 2008 coed dinghy finish.
Harvard placed ninth in the B division and 15th in the A division, totaling 167 and 195 points, respectively, for a total of 362. The Crimson finished five points behind ninth-place SUNY Maritime and four ahead of South Florida in 11th place.
St. Mary's (Md.) used strong sailing on the first and third days to claim the coed dinghy national title with 179 points. Yale, Georgetown, Old Dominion and Boston College rounded out the top five schools in the field of the nation's 18 best.
The Crimson used a team approach, with six sailors seeing time in the A-division boat and four competing in the B division. Senior Jon Garrity led the way, skippering six B-division races and sailing with sophomore Tedd Himler in the other 12. Junior Winston Yan and sophomore Grace Charles also saw time at crew.
Harvard got off to a slow start in the B division, but earned top-five finishing in six of the final 12 races. The Crimson registered three third-place finishes and in the final six competitions crossed the finish no worse than eighth. Harvard finished four points back of Boston University in eighth place in the division and was 26 points better than 10th-place Tufts.
Sophomore Alan Palmer skippered the first 10 and final six A-division races for Harvard, with sophomore John Stokes stepping in for the other two races. Stokes crewed four races himself, while juniors Yan and Michelle Konstadt handled those duties in six and three races, respectively. Quincy Bock crewed three races, while fellow sophomore Meghan Wareham crewed two.
The Crimson posted four top-five finishes in the A division. Palmer and Konstadt opened the regatta with a fifth-place showing, and he and Stokes won the eighth race. Palmer and Yan later recorded a runner-up finish and a third-place showing in a three-race span. Harvard finished with four more points than Stanford and only six more than 11th-place Hobart/William Smith. Eckerd finished directly behind the Crimson in the A division, with 24 more points.
Harvard reached the ICSA/Gill National Championship with seventh-place finishes in the New England Dinghy Championship and the ICSA National Semifinals.

At an international papal conference on health care yesterday at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI and other Catholic church leaders said it is the "moral responsibility of nations to guarantee access to health care for all of their citizens, regardless of social and economic status or their ability to pay." Saying access to adequate medical care is one of the "inalienable rights" of man, the pope said, "Justice in health care should be a priority of governments and international institutions":
The pope lamented the great inequalities in health care around the globe. While people in many parts of the world aren't able to receive essential medications or even the most basic care, in industrialized countries there is a risk of "pharmacological, medical and surgical consumerism" that leads to "a cult of the body," the pope said.
"The care of man, his transcendent dignity and his inalienable rights" are issues that should concern Christians, the pope said.
Because an individual's health is a "precious asset" to society as well as to himself, governments and other agencies should seek to protect it by "dedicating the equipment, resources and energy so that the greatest number of people can have access."
In a separate statement, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said, "Justice requires guaranteed universal access to health care," adding that minimal levels of medical care are "a fundamental human right." "Governments are obligated, therefore, to adopt the proper legislative, administrative and financial measures to provide such care," the cardinal explained, saying that, "The governments of richer nations with good health care available should practice more solidarity with their own disadvantaged citizens."

A postman, an ex-baseball player and Norm walk into a bar. What show are we talking about?
"Cheers" (1982-1993) spanned nearly the entire decade of the '80s and spilled over into the 1990s. It was a comedy, but it also gave us a wholesome feeling like we were at home. It made frequenting bars a totally cool thing.

He doesn't give a hoot!
A Portland, Ore.-area middle school football coach who was fired for planning an awards party at a Hooters restaurant says he's going ahead with the event without school backing.
And Hooters says it will pick up the bill Saturday and make a donation to the Corbett Middle School boosters club.
The district's athletic director fired Randall Burbach this week and withdrew its support for an event at Hooters, where waitresses wear shorts and tight shirts.
The first-year volunteer coach refused to move the after-season party to another location because Hooters is where the boys wanted to go and he believes it's a family restaurant.
KGW reports the Jantzen Beach Hooters is picking up the tab and donating $1,000 plus 20 percent of Saturday sales to the school's boosters club.

Who inherited what? President Obama has said from day one that he inherited a bad situation created by the former administration. The mainstream media has taken every opportunity to reinforce that message. Now, many fellow countrymen believe it to be the truth. We have short memories, but read on and revisionist history will be shown for what it is: Wrong.
Up until 1999 banks generally were allowed to only sell certificates of deposit, rent safe deposit vaults and make small business loans. They paid you a small interest rate on your savings account. Basically, banks did banking things. That all changed under President Bill Clinton when the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed. Suddenly, banks were allowed to get into investment markets, to buy, sell and speculate on all kinds of financial instruments.
Now about this same time there blew a big stink over ratings companies being in league with investment houses, giving preference to the stocks they were selling. To heck with actual risk analysis, it was five stars for their stuff, three stars to others. Add to this craziness venture capitalists pouring billions of dollars into e-companies with no track record and absolutely no profits.
Along comes George W. Bush in 2000, just in time for the dot.com/Internet bubble bursting that resulted in a loss of $5 trillion in market valuation. In the middle of this horrendous crisis Al Qaeda attacked, taking lives, crushing morale and pushing the NY financial sector to near collapse. Even with the stock market devastated and the economy in shambles, there was no choice for America but to mount for war. At the same time we were pouring billions of dollars a month into the effort, another economic crisis continued to fester and would soon explode.
With the repeal of Glass-Steagall, banks were now years into mischief, sending investment dollars to places it had never been before. They were expected to take big risks, make big money - and they were. During the Clinton administration, banks also faced tremendous pressure from community activist organizations - including Acorn - to revise loan practices to minority and low-income applicants. And President Obama, then a junior lawyer, was part of the litigation brought to bear. All told, financial institutions had to promise some $600 billion to so-called "anti-redlining" loans.
At the same time banks were being pressured to make sub-prime loans, the Federal Reserve, in collusion with the Treasury Department, cranked up the printing presses so mortgages could be had by all. U.S. Rep Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Sen. Chris Dodd, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, then put the squeeze on mortgage houses Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to buy the toxic assets - sub-prime loans everyone knew were far too risky to carry - from the U.S. financial institutions. These were then 'securitized,' or packaged as an investment product that could be sold to banks worldwide. In this manner, Democrats believed they could cover their tracks for a misguided venture in affordable housing and spread the outrageous risk around the globe. Recently, President Obama tried to defend these actions, saying it was all done with good intentions.
Indeed. Lehman Brothers failed, the first of many multi-billion-dollar bailouts was launched, the markets faced a $4 trillion valuation loss and unemployment went to 10 percent. Freddie and Fannie, nearly bankrupted, were taken over by the federal government. Their social engineering scheme has wreaked havoc across the world and we will continue to pay for the madness for years to come.
Instead of revising history, let us remember.

For discussion of Electric Universe and Plasma Cosmology. The ideas and opinions expressed on this forum do not necessarily reflect those of T-Bolts Group Inc or The Thunderbolts Project(TM)
"We found that when this massive cloud of plasma strikes the moon, it acts like a sandblaster and easily removes volatile material from the surface," said William Farrell, DREAM team lead at NASA Goddard. "The model predicts 100 to 200 tons of lunar material – the equivalent of 10 dump truck loads – could be stripped off the lunar surface during the typical 2-day passage of a CME."
The team used data from satellite observations that revealed this enrichment as input to their model. For example, helium ions comprise about four percent of the normal solar wind, but observations reveal that during a CME, they can increase to over 20 percent. When this enrichment is combined with the increased density and velocity of a CME, the highly charged, heavy ions in CMEs can sputter 50 times more material than protons in the normal solar wind.
The moon has just the barest wisp of an atmosphere, technically called an exosphere because it is so tenuous, which leaves it vulnerable to CME effects. The plasma from CMEs impacts the lunar surface, and atoms from the surface are ejected in a process called "sputtering."
New images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft show the moon's crust is being stretched, forming minute valleys in a few small areas on the lunar surface. Scientists propose this geologic activity occurred less than 50 million years ago, which is considered recent compared to the moon's age of more than 4.5 billion years.
A team of researchers analyzing high-resolution images obtained by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) show small, narrow trenches typically much longer than they are wide. This indicates the lunar crust is being pulled apart at these locations. These linear valleys, known as graben, form when the moon's crust stretches, breaks and drops down along two bounding faults. A handful of these graben systems have been found across the lunar surface.
It was a big surprise when I spotted graben in the far side highlands," said co-author Mark Robinson of the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University, principal investigator of LROC. "I immediately targeted the area for high-resolution stereo images so we could create a three-dimensional view of the graben. It's exciting when you discover something totally unexpected and only about half the lunar surface has been imaged in high resolution. There is much more of the moon to be explored."
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/n ... raben.html
The existence of marsquakes could be significant in the ongoing search for life on Mars, the researchers stated. If the faults along the Cerberus Fossae region are active, and the quakes are driven by movements of magma related to the nearby volcano, Elysium Mons, the energy provided in the form of heat from the volcanic activity under the surface of Mars could be able to melt ice. The resulting liquid water, they noted, could provide habitats friendly to life.

More Grand Rapids, MI Homeowners Looking Outdoors
With better weather now here in the Grand Rapids area, more homeowners are looking outdoors. The latest from Realtor.com, citing a Saber Grills survey, stated that now 83 percent of homeowners find their outdoor living space to be their favorite part of their home. Up until now, the kitchen has been considered the "heart of the home," but it seems that popular opinion is swaying in favor of outdoor living spaces, peaking homeowner interest and perhaps potential Michigan homebuyer interest as well.
The survey found that "Midwesterners are the most interactive with their outdoor space. They update and accessorize most often and 75 percent use it throughout the week." Blame it on a harsh winter and too many months of snow, but we may see more Grand Rapids area homebuyers this summer favoring outdoor spaces and searching for homes for sale that have relaxing outdoor space to offer. It is being said that outdoor spaces are the new "heart of the home," especially as a whopping 81 percent of survey participants labeled it as such.
With the survey's representation of today's homeowner, nearly half said they would update their outdoor living spaces as much as their favorite interior room. Adding a grill, special lighting, a pool, a hot tub, a TV and even access to WiFi are all important to homeowners in the Midwest— our region of the U.S. was deemed the most likely to add tech upgrades like TVs to outdoor spaces.
"We've dubbed this group 'super relaxers," said a Saber Grills executive. "The outdoor space was a major factor in their home buying decision and they are very engaged in making it comfortable. This group leads the way in defining how an outdoor space can be used and decorated."
So, what does that mean for this summer's Grand Rapids homeowners who are preparing to sell? You may want to keep your outdoor spaces in mind as Michigan homebuyers may be paying close attention to the living space beyond your home's walls. Curb appeal also plays a major factor in helping the homebuyer feel welcomed to a home, not just in the areas surrounding the home's front door, but also side yards and backyards.
Does your home have a clean and clear path to the front door? Is your front yard landscaped and free of weeds or overgrown grass, bushes and shrubs? If the home has a fence, it is stable and free of peeling paint or faded stain? In the backyard, is your deck an eye sore or a prized feature of your outdoor space? If you have a pool, is it well-maintained? These are all projects that Grand Rapids area home sellers can tackle this summer and get their homes ready for homebuyers who may be coming into the local real estate market over the next few months.
If you're thinking of selling your home in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Forest Hills, East Grand Rapids, Cascade, Ada, Rockford, Northview, and Grandville, I would be happy to help! Let's discuss the best features of your home and how those play into what area homebuyers are looking for this season. I look forward to hearing from you!
I happily serve the areas of Grand Rapids, Kent County, Forest Hills, East Grand Rapids, Cascade, Ada, Rockford, Northview, Grandville, Kentwood, Caledonia, Walker, Cedar Springs, Sparta, Belmont, Comstock Park, Byron Center, Wyoming, Alpine, Kenowa Hills, Plainfield, Cannon, Lowell, Sand Lake, Jenison, Hudsonville, Wayland, Belmont, Alto and Kent City.

|Andrew Friedman
Executive Vice President, Baseball Operations
The six consecutive winning seasons and four playoff appearances since 2008 while working with a payroll that ranked 27th in major league baseball no doubt top Andrew Friedman's list of accomplishments in his eight years as Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Yet, those amazing numbers don't begin to measure the impact he has had on major league baseball.
Wrote ESPN's Tim Kurkjian, echoing the sentiment of many throughout the game: "His emphasis on scouting and player development, his ability to piece together a contending team every year despite limited financial resources and his astute use of sabermetrics have made the Rays an organization that others try to emulate, though usually without nearly as much success. Five years ago, the Rays were the only team that employed significant defensive shifts. Now, every team uses them, just another trend in the game that began in part with Andrew Friedman."
In its latest measurement, Bloomberg Businessweek named the Rays the "smartest spenders" among the 122 MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL franchises. It isn't difficult to see why. The Rays won the 2008 AL pennant with a payroll that ranked 29th out of 30 major league clubs as Friedman was named Sporting News Executive of the Year. At 31, he was the youngest to win the award in its 72-year history. Of the 27 Rays players eligible for postseason that year, 20 were acquired after Friedman's arrival.
The Rays repeated as AL East champs in 2010, again besting teams with an average payroll twoto- four times that of their own. In 2011, despite losing their seven highest paid players and the entire bullpen from the year before, the Rays pulled off the greatest September comeback in league history and won the AL Wild Card on the last day of the season. Last season, the Rays advanced to the American League Division Series with an Opening Day payroll that ranked 28th.
Through the use of carefully reasoned, and sometimes unconventional strategies, and a heavy emphasis on scouting and player development, Friedman has built what many in baseball consider a model for sustained success. Friedman and Manager Joe Maddon enter their ninth season together, longer than any current general managermanager duo. In the 2000s, only four other pairs were together longer: John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox with Atlanta (1991-2007), Walt Jocketty and Tony LaRussa with St. Louis (1995-2007), Brian Cashman and Joe Torre with New York (1998- 2007) and Kevin Towers and Bruce Bochy with San Diego (1996-2006).
Friedman has engineered 53 trades that have turned over the major league roster and improved the minor league system. The Rays current 40- man roster features 21 players whom Friedman has acquired via trade. Amazingly, in his eight years, he has acquired 10 players either through trades, free agent signings or the draft who have made their first All-Star Team with the Rays: Jason Bartlett, Matt Joyce, Evan Longoria, Matt Moore, Dioner Navarro, Carlos Peña, David Price, Fernando Rodney, Rafael Soriano and Ben Zobrist.
This past offseason, Friedman made a number of significant additions to the organization. In January, the Rays awarded two of the three largest free agent contracts given by the current ownership group under Stuart Sternberg. First baseman James Loneythe team's leading hitter in 2013 signed a three-year, $21 million contract, and 2013 All-Star closer Grant Balfour returned to the Rays for $12 million for two years after three years with Oakland. In December, Friedman conducted his first three-team trade getting catcher Ryan Hanigan from the Cincinnati Reds and veteran reliever Heath Bell from the Arizona Diamondbacks. In January, the Rays acquired five players, including infielder Logan Forsythe and reliever Brad Boxberger, from the San Diego Padres in a sevenplayer deal. The Rays also retained veteran free agents Jose Molina and David DeJesus by signing them to multi-year deals.
On the international front, the Rays have significantly increased their presence in Latin America with an expanded scouting staff and training facilities in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Colombia. The Rays have also expanded their efforts in Europe and Asia.
In December 2011, Friedman was named to MLB's eight-person International Talent Committee responsible for discussing the development and acquisition of international players.
Prior to assuming his current role, Friedman spent two years with the Rays serving as director of baseball development. His previous experience includes two years as an analyst with New York City-based investment firm Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. and three years as an associate for the private equity firm MidMark Capital.
Friedman received a baseball scholarship to Tulane University, where he graduated with a bachelor of science in management with a concentration in finance. He played outfield for the Green Wave before injuring his shoulder. Andrew and his wife, Robin, reside in St. Petersburg with their two young sons, Ethan Jack and Zachary Evan.

Preview: Civilization V
Pages 1 2 3 4 NEXT
I am Hiawatha, chief of the Iroquois peoples, and I will unite the world under one banner.
This sounds like one hell of a lot of fun, I shall be honest.
Winning a game through diplomacy? Damnit I wanna play now.
This game is really going to mess up my studying this fall :/
Holy hell, RTSs are sooo boring to watch.
Not an rts.
The Civ series were a near-perfect set of games, marred only by shite combat. Finally, finally, it looks as though they've cracked it. I want this now!
I need a new PC.
Civilisation is a TBS (turn based). But I know what you mean.
Edit: Looked it up. Can be pronounced both ways. My apologies.
Otherwise the game looks amazing.
Too peaceful and diplomatic for my tastes. Now a military dictatorship bent on subjugating those who would oppose me, that is something I can get behind! Bwahahaha!
10 more days !
I am Hank the Horrible. FEAR ME!
lol I always end up making a military dictatorship...
I'm just gonna play it at the lowest possible graphics setting.
Lost it at the last line, which ruined this preview's fun for me, because that was the most important line!
It's an easy mistake to make, cut the guy some slack.
I can't wait to play this game, I hope it's better than the console version of civ 4 though.
Who is the narrator?
What? The PC version will be better than the console version of Civ 4 if that's what you're saying. There probably isn't going to be a console version of Civ 5.
The level of hate I have for you for getting it early is hard to describe. But imagine something massive, so massive it makes our own son appear to use as as inconsequential as we are to the universe itself.
Yes...oh yes...if you were a nation I would raze you.
8 more days -.-
Oh god I hate you even more now.
The game ends 2012.
I've never really played a Civ game before, but this looks super fun. But I just wanna slowly build my civilization through all the ages and get all this awesome stuff and not worry about fighting, lol.
And this looks more possible in Civ 5 than ever before in any other Civ game. It looks like War isn't going to be the ultimate decider
Was on the fence with this game at first. But now it's pre-purchased thanks to this review reminding me of how addictive and awesome Civilization games are.
No more doom stacks, yay.
Also, the narrator was really good.
Goodbye next paycheck
The mighty Iroquois empire met the French... and were put in reserves :(
There was no console version of Civ 4. There was Civilization Revolutions, a Civ game built specifically for consoles, but thats it.
OT: I want this game so badly. Like, seriously, very, very badly.
I remember my friends saying Civ Rev wasn't that bad.
Best. Preview. EVER!
Seriously, you should role-play more previews like this, because that was awesome!
It wasn't. It was actually pretty good. Sure it wasn't as deep, but it was still fun.
I may no longer have a 360 and I may be in a near broke state economically speaking, but damn I'm glad I pre purchased the game when I could. If I'm not busy searching for a new job, I'll be busy conquering the world with an iron fist... or a lukewarm heart...
Sigh...here goes another round of nights with me staying up waaay too late saying, "Okay, just one more turn...."
It was better than Civ 4.
Civ 5 seems to take what was good from Civ 4 and Civ Rev to make the ultimate Civ game. I'm incredibly excited for this title.
Thanks for the preview Escapist!

Jan. 22, 2005
FRESNO, Calif. - The Santa Clara University women's tennis team suffered its first loss of the season with a 6-1 setback this afternoon at 21st-ranked Fresno State at the Wathen Tennis Center.
The loss ended the Broncos' two-game win streak and dropped their record to 2-1 on the young season. SCU defeated Cal State Fullerton and 51st-ranked Cal Poly last weekend at San Luis Obispo, Calif.
The win was the 15th in a row at home for the Bulldogs, who were opening their season.
"This was certainly one of the toughest matches we'll have this season," said SCU's first-year head coach Damon Coupe. "We were playing without our number one player so each of our players were competing up a spot in the lineup against a veteran opponent. I don't think the final score was indicative of the way the match was played. I was proud of the way our players competed and I think today's match gives us the confidence and experience to be in a better situation for crucial points at critical times as the season progresses."
Sophomore Jessie Strunk remained undefeated on the season, improving her singles record to 3-0 with a 6-0, 6-0 shutout of Fresno State's Caitlin Tiftick. A native of Phoenix, Ariz., Strunk earned the clinching victory in last weekend's 4-3 win at Cal Poly. Today, she also teamed with freshman Myra Davoudi to earn an 8-5 doubles win.
Davoudi suffered a knee injury in the second game of the first set of her singles match against Fresno State's Jacqui Haskett. The status of her injury is uncertain and will be confirmed following an examination on Monday by SCU's team doctors.

text: Minneapolis punk band Off with Their Heads began in 2003, taking their membership from area punk and hardcore institutions like Dillinger Four, Dear Landlord, Banner Pilot, and the Fake Boys, among others. Based around the depraved and hard-living themes of vocalist Ryan Young's songs, the band existed mostly in the form of an endless string of EP and split 7" releases for many years. Also focused on constant touring, Off with Their Heads maintained a revolving lineup so they could stay on the road more often. In 2007 they released All Things Move Toward Their End, a collection of highlights from the group's lengthy vinyl-only catalog. This compilation was followed in 2008 by their first proper full-length, From the Bottom, and the group self-released a video for the album's song "Fuck This, I'm Out." The band followed up in 2010 with In Desolation. By the time their third album, Home, was released in 2013, the band had finally solidified a permanent lineup, with Young on guitar and vocals, Robbie Stewartwood on bass, and Justin Francis on drums. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi

Deeper Appreciation – Mark DeRosa
Just finished the final game against the Cardinals. We couldn't pull off the sweep, it's been a weekend we'll never forget with the flag-raising on Friday and the rings on Saturday.
For me to open that box and see the World Series ring, it just put a stamp on a lot of hard work even though I was injured and wasn't able to play last season. You look at that ring and think about playing catch with your dad and your brother in the yard, dreaming of playing in the bigs and then seeing it come to fruition. You've got to take a step back and think how far each and every guy in this clubhouse has come.
When I look at that ring, I'll always remember Huffy's red thong, the emergence of the bullpen, the moves Boch and Brian Sabean made, the two-out knock Freddy Sanchez got in Atlanta. All those things will come back. The ring is a just a beautiful representation of a miraculous season.
But I don't think I'll ever wear it. I'll keep it in my office at home in Atlanta as a conversation piece. I'm not a big jewelry guy. Other than my wedding band, I've never worn a ring. And second, I would have loved to be on the field when it all happened.
So while the ring is something I'm really proud of, it's not something I feel like I earned.
It was interesting that the same day we got the rings, we played a game that was the perfect symbol of what we were all about last season. We came from behind to beat the Cardinals in the ninth inning on Miggy's double. That's how we won a lot of games last year – not giving up, fighting the whole way. And that's why I think the fans rallied around this team. Because outside of Timmy, there were no superstars. There were so many players for little kids and adults to latch onto. Your favorite player could have been anybody in the lineup – Freddy Sanchez or Cody Ross or Andres Torres. There were a lot of good guys to go around.
As great as all the flag-raising and ring ceremonies have been, we're looking forward to getting back to some normalcy. Ballplayers are creatures of habit. So hopefully as we get back into our routines, you'll start to see more consistent ball.
It's fun to watch a guy like Brandon Belt because it brings back memories of my own first year. I got called up to the majors for the first time on September 2, 1998. I was playing in Zebulon, North Carolina, for the Pirates' Double A team. I was shocked. I wasn't on the 40-man-nothin'. I was 23 years old, a year-and-a-half in the pros. I ran outside and called my dad and he didn't believe me. I was in a complete panic when I walked into the major-league clubhouse. I knew to keep my head down and my mouth shut. Though you know you have skills, you can't help wondering if you really belong up there. Until you perform in front of 20,000 people in a stadium with the world watching, you don't know if you can do it. It took me three call-ups before I got comfortable. It's such a huge leap from the minors to the majors. It's night and day. The intensity is different. The stadiums. The pitchers are completely different. Even to this day, I have moments where I'm proving to myself I belong. I remember getting a hit off Mariano River and going to first and thinking, "OK.'' I remember going against Randy Johnson and getting a walk. You get to this level and then there are levels within this level that you test yourself against.
What I'd tell Brandon Belt is to take it all in because this first season happens only once. Your dream is being realized right in front of you. Expect to be nervous. Realize you're going to feel different than you have ever felt playing baseball. Pick the brains of the older guys. Carry yourself like a professional, meaning that every day you walk into the clubhouse you're the same guy, no matter how you did the day before. And you have to always be confident that whatever situation you're in, you can handle it. If you don't have that mentality up here, you'll get chewed up.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to post questions.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings, Mark, can't wait to hear more from you!
You definitely earned that ring, Mark. Looking forward to seeing you back in action.
Not just my opinion, but based on the season-long chat on KNBR, you DID earn that ring; when you couldn't on the field, then very much so in the clubhouse.
The 2010 Giants team was a TEAM, and we fans have no doubt that, behind the scenes, you were a giant part of that winning season. Keep on keeping on.
Also, San Franciscans have been waiting a long darned time, so please, give the WS ring the respect that we accord all of you all: pull that bling out of the box and out of your office, put it on your finger, and parade it all around Atlanta every year on All Saints Day.
Unless, of course, you're not home on Nov 1 because Giants are in the WS again.
Which would be fine with me.
I thank you for sharing your stories and insights on being a professional ball player. I am a pitcher and would like to be at that level one day. I know you aren't a pitcher but do you know what they look for in players? If you can answer this thanks but if not I do appreciate the time you took to read this.
Jeff Mountford
Hey Mark,
Always enjoyed your play in Atlanta, many people appreciated your passion for the game and playing for the Braves. If nothing else, a World Series for a class guy is not a bad deal. Good luck to you and your family!
Hi Mark…. I just found your blog and read it with admiration. It takes an amazing athlete to compete at your level. To be called up to the Bigs, play with The Giants, encourage your teammates, joke with them, help them and cheer them on and be part of the Giants franchise at this special moment in time…. certainly gives you the right to wear that ring with honor! Don't doubt for a second that you shouldn't have it! If you aren't a jewelry wearing person, still pull it out on one day a year and sport it with pride… maybe Opening Day, your birthday, anniversary, parent's anniversary… you choose and make it a tradition.
My best to you and yours!
Vonnie Ryan
i agree with all the others…. yes, you earned the ring. you played on the team. you were a part of the team. which is why i love baseball: it's a team, a family, and we fans are lucky to be a part of your family. best to you!

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's lacrosse looks to build off back-to-back wins on Wednesday, March 5, when it clashes with High Point for the first-ever meeting between the two squads. Game time is set for 5:30 p.m. at the UMBC Stadium. Live video and stats can be found free of charge on the UMBCRetrievers.tv, courtesy of the America East digital network.
After dropping a pair of contests to nationally-ranked opponents to start the season, UMBC has won back-to-back games to even its record to 2-2 on the season. The Retrievers are coming off a 7-6 victory against La Salle on Saturday. Senior Shannon Harkey (Purcellville, Va./Loudon Valley/Florida) delivered the Retrievers' game-winning goal versus the Explorers and was one of three players with two goals in the game.
Red-shirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Barnett (Midland, Texas/Midland) was named the America East Defensive Player of the Week after matching a career-high with nine saves against La Salle. The goalkeeper stopped a pair of free position shots in the final 1:30 of the contest to preserve the Retrievers' lead.
Junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) has tallied a goal in each of the first four games of the season. The attacker leads the squad with eight points on five goals and three assists on the year, while classmate Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) has also chipped in five goals. Semones ranks second on the team in draw controls (eight) behind only sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial), who has pulled in nine draws on the year.
High Point (1-2) has dropped two straight since winning its season-opener against American. In its latest contest, the Panthers mounted a late comeback, but feel short, 11-10, to Virginia Tech. Senior Mackenzie Carroll is coming off a four-goal performance against the Hokies. Carroll's eight goals and nine points leads the squad in both categories.
Senior Jasmine Jordan earned Big South Defensive Player of the Week honors after posting game-highs with four caused turnovers and five ground balls. Junior goalkeeper Julia Burns has made all three starts in net and has made 23 stops on the season.

Catching up on the couch
[photopress:img_home_top_ep5.jpg,thumb,pp_image]Just back from vacation and all I can say is I hope you've been as faithful to AMC's "Mad Men" as I instructed.
No other series delivers such an astute rendering of the 1960s, sketching the plight of middle-class suburban women pre-liberation, the changing notions of manhood as the Kennedy era dawned, even nailing the food and fashion sense of the times. Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is perfection as the slick advertising executive with secrets.
Set the DVR for Thursdays at 8 p.m. on AMC, (repeats Sundays at 10).
In a summer ruled by original cable efforts, from Glenn Close in "Damages" on FX to David Duchovny in "Californication" on Showtime, the pitch-perfect "Mad Men" on AMC (of all places!) is a standout.

News of the Weird
Lead Story
Sri Lanka has, as an "unwritten symbol of pride and culture," the world's highest per-capita rate for eye-donation, according to a January Associated Press dispatch from Colombo. Underpinning this national purpose is the country's Buddhist tradition that celebrates afterlives. "He's dead," said a relative of an eye recipient about the donor, "but he's still alive. His eye can still see the world." Doctors even report instances in which Sri Lankans consider giving up an eyeball while still alive, as a measure of virtue. A new state-of-the-art clinic, funded by Singaporean donors, is expected to nearly double Sri Lanka's eyeball exports.
The Way the World Works
• Melissa Torres was a passenger in an April 2011 auto accident in Texas City in which the five people involved were reported "uninjured" by police, and indeed, Torres was released from the Mainland Medical Center emergency room after a routine evaluation (for which she was billed $4,850). In fact, records from April 2011 until September showed her balance as $4,850. However, in December, Mainland learned that Torres had made an insurance claim against the driver and settled it for $30,000. The hospital quickly "updated" her balance to $20,211 and filed a claim against the settlement.
• Hospitals, of course, are obligated to render emergency care to anyone who needs it, even to undocumented immigrants and irrespective of ability to pay. However, various state laws, such as New York's, also prohibit hospitals from releasing a patient who has no safe place to be discharged to. A January New York Times report noted that New York City hospitals currently house about 300 of those "continuing care" patients, with many in the five-year-long range and one patient now in his 13th year. (In some states, even, the laws' wording permits "pop drops," in which adult children leave "ailing" parents at a hospital when the children decide they need a break.)
• A November Comtel airlines charter flight from India to Birmingham, England, stopped in Vienna, Austria, to refuel, but the pilots learned that Comtel's account was overdrawn and that the airport required the equivalent of about $31,000 for refueling and take-off charges, and thus, if the passengers were in a hurry, they needed to come up with the cash. After a six-hour standoff, many of the 180 passengers were let off the plane, one by one, to visit an ATM, and eventually a settlement was reached.
Just Can't Stop Himself
Paul Rothschild, 40, was facing a Dec. 9 court date in Lake County, Ill., on a charge of indecent solicitation of a minor — a charge that could have sent him to prison for five years. Apparently oblivious of the imminent danger, Rothschild was arrested on Dec. 7 after a months-long campaign to entice another minor girl to engage in sex.The Force Is Not With You
• In November, Rickie La Touche, 30, was convicted in England's Preston Crown Court of killing his wife in a rage over her having allegedly destroyed the Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker memorabilia that he had collected since childhood. And in January, a judge in Portland, Ore., ordered a 45-day jail sentence, plus mental evaluation, for David Canterbury, 33, after he attacked Toys "R" Us customers with a lightsaber in each hand. And in February in Brooklyn, N.Y., Flynn Michael expanded his search for his stolen $400 custom-made lightsaber. "I guess that's the joke," said Michael, self-pityingly. "Some Jedi I turned out to be."
Names in the News
• Recent Newsmakers: In a Christmas Eve alcohol-related auto accident in Buffalo, N.Y., the injured victims included Chad Beers, and the man charged was Richard Booze Jr. In Burnett County, Wis., in October, Scott Martini, 51, was arrested for suspicion of DUI, which would be his fourth offense. In Madison, Wis., in January, police filed weapon and drug charges against the 30-year-old man who had legally changed his name to Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop. And charged with vandalism of a Rhode Island state troopers' barracks in November was the 27-year-old Mr. Wanker Rene.
• In 2011, for the first time in 10 years, Jose was not the most popular baby name in Texas (it was Jacob), but more interesting were the outlier names from the birth register examined by the Houston Press in December. Among last year's Houston babies were boys with the first names Aa'den, Z'yun, Goodness, Godswill, Clever, Handsome, Sir Genius and Dallas Cowboys. Girls' names included Gorgeousg'zaiya, A'Miracle, Dae'Gorgeous and Praisegod. The newspaper had previously combed the register of convicts in Harris County (Houston) and found Willie Nelson de Ochoa, Shi'tia Alford, Petrono Tum Pu, Charmin Crew and Anal Exceus.
Least Competent Criminals
• Not Ready for Prime Time: Mostafa Hendi was charged with attempted robbery of the We Buy Gold store in Hendersonville, N.C., in December, but clerk Derek Mothershead stopped him. As Hendi reached for the money, Mothershead punched him in the face, momentarily knocking him out cold. He held Hendi down with one hand and called 911 with the other, and as the two waited for police, Mothershead handed Hendi cleanser and paper towels and ordered him to clean up his blood off of the floor.
• Needed to Think It Through Better: Car salesman Frank Ready was showing his inventory to Pedro Prieto and Yordan Llauger at his lot in Austin in December, and they had settled on a Nissan Maxima for around $9,000. "They asked if I took Visa," Ready told KVUE-TV. "I said, 'Yeah.'" The next day, Prieto and Llauger returned with 90 $100 Visa gift cards. Naturally, Ready called police, who later found at least 28 counterfeit credit cards on the pair and charged them and a third person with fraud and identity theft.People Different From Us
• Bill Robinson, 66, of Decatur, Ga., was arrested on a misdemeanor firearm charge in December for gathering holiday mistletoe in the "best way" he knew — shooting it out of a tree with a 12-gauge shotgun. The fact that the tree was in the parking lot of the suburban North DeKalb Mall (filled with holiday shoppers) apparently completely escaped his attention. "Well," said Robinson to WGCL-TV, "about the time I did it, I got to thinking about it. ... I guess I assumed that everybody knew what I was doing."
Recurring Themes
Almost No Longer Weird: Fifteen firefighters on three crews (estimated cost per hour, the equivalent of $1,400) were dispatched to Norwich market in Norwich, England, in January to rescue a gull entangled on tree branches and, according to the animal rescue society, "in distress."
Jesus and Mary World Tour
Public Appearances of Jesus and/or the Virgin Mary: Wiltshire, England, June (Jesus in candle wax dripping from a church's pulpit). Anderson County, S.C., July (Jesus on a Walmart receipt). Kinston, N.C., June (Jesus' body on a cross formed by kudzu on a telephone pole). Orpington, England, December (Jesus on a sock). Fortitude Valley, Australia, January (Jesus on a tomato that had remained in an office refrigerator a little too long). Yuma, Ariz., August (Mary in a dried mango slice). Blue Springs, Mo., December (Jesus on crayons melted for a science class project.

S.A.M. Shows Troops U.S. Support
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 25, 2006 - "Operation: S.A.M.," or Saluting All Military, is working to ease servicemembers minds about how much support they have back home.
"Almost in all the communication we have with the troops, there seems to be an unspoken desire to know if their efforts are appreciated and supported by Americans," Penny Redmon, S.A.M.'s past president and cofounder, said.
Operation: S.A.M., a Livermore, Calif.-based nonprofit organization, is out to make sure troops know Americans do support them. S.A.M. sends packages to troops deployed all over the world, focusing on those deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the group's Web site.
The group is a member of the Defense Department's America Supports You program, which highlights grassroots and corporate support for America's troops.
Since its creation in January 2004, S.A.M. has shipped nearly 8,500 packages.
Every other Saturday, volunteers pack boxes with hygiene, snack, comfort and entertainment items. They also make sure at least two notes of thanks and encouragement are included in each bundle. A letter from S.A.M. providing contact information so the recipient can make specific requests completes the package.
"Most items are generously donated to the troops by individuals, community organizations ... or by manufacturers of products," Redmon said. She added that donation information is available on the group's Web site, at www.operationsam.org. Cash donations primarily are used to pay for shipping costs.
Redmon said reactions the packages elicit are priceless.
"The feedback is often that of a child on Christmas morning - a few words out of a busy existence that say, 'Wow! Boy was I surprised to get a package from home and to hear from someone I don't even know,'" she said. "That is our motivation."
S.A.M. members need look no further than their own ranks to find inspiration, however. S.A.M. President Marine Reserve Gunnery Sgt. Eric Froboese was a recipient of S.A.M. packages during his two tours in Iraq. He now is now a visible reminder of why the volunteers do what they do. "(He) reconfirms the need of organizations such as S.A.M. every day," Redmon said.

Beginning this year, aggregation will no longer wait for 13 days past * an LEA's 40th day in order to calculate 40th day ADM. A district/charter holder will be eligible for aggregation processing and the generation of 40th day ADM on the date in which all schools within the district/charter have reached 40th day. This is, of course, dependent on the aggregation processing schedule, which identifies the dates in which ADE will process all eligible SAIS data through aggregation.
This applies to 100th day ADM as well.
CLARIFICATION: If the date in which an LEA is eligible for 40th or 100th day is on or prior to the Data Submission Deadline documented within the aggregation processing schedule link above, all students within the LEA will be processed through aggregation, and if they qualify for ADM, they will generate it.
SCENARIO:Let's walk through how this might impact your district/charter holder (LEA). For example:
Scenario: All schools within your LEA will have reached the 40th day of school on September 30, 2013. The next aggregation processing is scheduled for October 1, 2013, with the submission deadline falling on September 30.
Outcome: Your LEA is eligible to have 40th day aggregation processed on September 30, 2013, therefore, since aggregation begins on October 1, at the end of the aggregation processing cycle, your LEA will have 40th day ADM. The impact to a charter is that as soon as 40th day ADM is generated for your charter holder, your state funding will switch from being based on estimated counts to actual 40th day ADM. In this case, your November 1 state aid disbursement would be based on the 40th day data that originates from SAIS.
* This requirement became obsolete with the repeal of ARS§ 15-902(I).

The National Football League has gone ahead and filled in what was really the only remaining question in global Tim Tebow coverage: Hypothetically, what would Tim Tebow's spawn look like were he to procreate with the weirdest array ever of female celebrities and public figures ever? Hypothetically.
Don't deny it—you've been wondering what an Oprah-Tebow lovechild would look like. The answer, thanks to the NFL's patronage of a site called "MorphThing.com," is that their baby girl would look like a very regular baby girl. They've also gone to the trouble of morphing Tebow's babies with Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Scarlett Johansson, and Selena Gomez, who is all of 19 years old and who is dating Justin Bieber, the hypothetical lovechild Tebow could have with Michele Bachmann.
Sometimes, when The Internet produces dopey, absurd items such as this gem, it's fun to imagine the planning meeting that led up to publication. Were the editors hungover, over-caffeinated, or merely tripping balls? How on earth does one look at a picture of Tim Tebow next to a picture of Michele Bachmann and say, without even Morphing a Thing at MorphThing.com, "If they had a baby, it would look just like that pop star kid, am I right?" The caption on this photo literally reads, "If Tim Tebow and Michele Bachmann got married, their child would look identical to Justin Bieber." Identical. That would be a feat.
NFL.com, please tell us where you get your drugs.

BOYS BASKETBALL: Northwestern takes down Bullard Havens Tech, advances to Class M second round
WINSTED >> Northwestern, the No. 1 seed in the Class M Boys Basketball State Tournament, justified its ranking in an 88-34 mauling of No. 32 Bullard Havens Tech-Bridgeport Monday night in the tournament's first round at Northwestern High School.
Highlander point guard Arthur Lefevre had two of his seven steals in the game's first minute.
The Tigers stayed with it for another minute until Northwestern's first full-court press spread out on the floor.
The press stayed in place for most of the game. Bullard Havens was on its way to 30 turnovers.
With nine of them in the first quarter, the game was already out of sight, 28-10, by the end of the period.
"We had two goals for the game," said Lefevre, who had 8 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds along with his steals. "Number one, win the game; two, play the right way so we'd be ready for Wednesday (a second-round game against No. 16 Ellington, 14-7)."
The final score proves both goals, but the undefeated (23-0) Highlanders' style impressed Bullard Havens coach Andrew Taddei the most.
"They are very, very intelligent and they play together extremely well," Taddei said. "They read everything we tried to do with the basketball and got there first."
The 8-13 Tigers' Constitution State Conference has some of the premier small and medium teams in the state at its top.
"Teams like Kaynor Tech and Fairfield Prep are very athletic, but I think Northwestern's smarts may negate that (if they meet)," said Taddei.
"We weren't sure what (Bullard Havens) was going to be like," said Highlander coach Doug Sebach, watching an athletic-looking group warm up before Monday's game.
Even though Northwestern's unblemished record speaks for the Highlanders' quality, state tournaments test uncharted waters from other leagues.
Monday's first two minutes confirmed Northwestern's quickness. Nerves kept the ball out of the hoop until Jimi Phillips sank two free throws.
Seconds later, Kavon Ruffin sank a 3-pointer for the Tigers. Then a foul shot by Equan Brooks gave Bullard Havens a 4-2 lead, 6:49 left in the first quarter.
Lefevre hit a three from the corner, then picked his third steal of the game.
The press was on. The Highlanders were off to the trouncing.
Lefevre had another steal, feeding Conner Guiheen for a layup, 7-4.
Justin Marquez (team-high 13 points) kept the Tigers even one more time with a layup, 7-6.
The Highlanders rocketed to a 21-4 streak for the rest of the quarter.
Mike Jeffko (8 points, 7 rebounds), John Stevens (game-high 28 points, 5 steals, 6 rebounds) and Guiheen (17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals) all found their rhythm on that trail.
The score was 28-10. Northwestern was on its way to a big first-round win. The Highlanders were doing it right.
Coach Sebach went to his bench for much of the second period with no let-up. Junior Ted Bremer led them with a solid 10 points and 7 rebounds.
Northwestern's lead was 46-18 at the half.
The Highlander starters came in for six minutes of the second half, then sat for good, ahead 67-23.
