About four weeks ago, Kevin Green, who apparently knows me from Parkway Tropics, approached me via instant message on my Facebook page. He sent an IM that said he was going to call me about a job opportunity. Sure enough, several minutes later I get a phone call. Kevin tells me that he has just been hired as the general manager of a new strip club that is opening up on New Year's Eve in Mt. Pleasant. He sends me to a Facebook page for "Central Show Girls Gentlemen's Club", which is supposedly located on S. Mission St. in Mt. Pleasant. He goes into details about the club; that this will be a topless bar serving alcohol, will feature female dancers during the week and will feature male dancers on Sundays. He says that several bartenders, several bouncers, a group of 5-6 male dancers, and a group of approximately 24 female dancers (mostly from Central Michigan University's cheerleading squad) have been hired and that they are starting to fill in other positions. Sure enough on this Facebook page are pictures of the interior of the club, the male and female dancers, the bouncers, the bartenders, and the owners. Of course, I'm interested in any opportunity to ply my trade on a regular basis. I'm given some additional information and told that I will be contacted later in the week.
A few days later I'm talking to a dancer friend about this new opportunity. Come to find out that she was approached about dancing there. She told me that she is suspicious about the entire deal and tells me that the interior shots of the club look suspiciously like pictures of a completely different club she found on the Internet. She then tells me that she doesn't trust Kevin as far as she can throw him. When I tell her that he's the general manager, she tells me that she's not interested in working there and that Kevin "creeps me out". After her suspicions were revealed to me, I calmed my enthusiasm about this club until I could see the physical building myself.
November 1, Kevin once again contacts me. He tells me that the minority owner wants to talk to me right away. The minority owner is supposedly an 18-year-old kid by the name of Zackery Lopez. Lopez, I'm told, is somewhat affiliated with Red Barn (I was told he was a DJ there at one point). Within a matter of minutes, I'm involved in a conference call with Zack and Kevin. Zack asks me about my background and I tell them the clubs I've worked for and the experience I've had. He wants to know if I ever worked turntables. I told them no. Zack is apparently looking for a mix club DJ. I told him that was what Angel's Gentlemen's Club in Kalamazoo was looking for when they were first hiring people during the remodeling of the Country Palace. I told him they found out real fast that having a mix club DJ in a strip club environment doesn't work and that the format for their DJs was now the same as every other club I've worked at or frequented as a customer in the entire state. My extensive knowledge and 18 plus year history of the business apparently sell Zack and I've got the job. We finish the conference call and I'm told that there will be a meeting soon and I'll be contacted again.
November 8, Zack calls me again. He tells me that a meeting will be held on the 11th at a restaurant in Mt. Pleasant. Supposedly the club is being fumigated on the 10th and 11th so the meeting cannot take place there. I find that very suspicious. He asks me what shift I want to work and my response is day shift. He tells me that I'll be working a 12-hour shift from 11am to 11pm, I have to sign a minimum one-year contract, and that I have to give 60 days notice if I quit so they can find another experienced DJ. In all my years of working in this business, the only club I remember signing a contact for was Sensation's and the terms weren't that Draconian. I tell Zack that a 12-hour shift is way too long for anyone and that I was used to a 7-8 hour shift. During my phone conversation, he is supposedly chatting via Internet with the primary owner (a guy named Greg who supposedly owns several strip clubs in Las Vegas). According to Zack, Greg shoots down the idea of shortening the shift. He tells me that I'll get a phone call from Kevin on Tuesday with the address of the meeting.
The next night, Zack calls me at approximately 9:45 to tell me that there has been a death in his wife's family and that the meeting for that Wednesday was cancelled. He gets my email address so he may send me an application to the club and tells me that I'll get a phone call from Kevin and from Greg later in the week. The phone calls never happen.
Meanwhile, my suspicions are still in the back of my mind. I contact someone who has extensive connections in the industry and see if he's heard anything about a new strip club. He hasn't. He tells me that anyone who wants to remodel a club or get a liquor license has to go through the city, usually to their zoning or planning commission and the full city commission. If there have been meetings between Zack and the city (which Zack claims happened) then there should be a record of it in the planning commission and city commission meeting minutes.
I go online to the website for the city of Mt. Pleasant. I find the page for the planning and zoning commission. The meetings of their minutes are posted online. I search the meetings for the entire year of 2009. Not one mention of a remodel or liquor license application for a Central Show Girls Gentlemen's Club. I then go to the city commission page and find the minutes of their meetings. I go back to June of this year through their minutes, again, not one mention of Central Show Girls.
I then decide to go to the Liquor Control Commission website. I find a search engine to find active and escrowed liquor licenses. I search by county and by business name. Nothing. I then find a list by county of all active liquor licenses. This list was compiled by the LCC and was updated on October 25th. Nothing. I called the LCC's Records Unit of Licensing and asked if there was a liquor license issued to Central Show Girls on S. Mission St. in Mt. Pleasant. Nothing. I tell them that this may be a pending license. They perform a search. There is one application pending for S. Mission St. in Mt. Pleasant and LCC gives me the name of the corporation and the address where this license issuance is pending. I searched the Dept. of Labor and Economic Growth website for corporation papers or DBA papers for Central Show Girls. Nothing. I searched for the corporate papers of the corporation that LCC tells me about. The corporation exists, but they are not doing business as a nightclub or strip club. This really gets weird.
I finally sent an email to Jeff Gray, the Director of Planning and Community Development for Mt. Pleasant. I asked about a proposed strip club. Here's what I got as a reply…
"We have not been approached about a strip club. There are no applications in and it has not been considered by the Planning Commission, so that is news to me. Do you know the proposed location?
There is a small part of south Mission (old WalMart) that is outside of the City in Union Township, so you may want to also check with them too."
So I checked with Union Township and talked to Woody in the zoning department. Nobody has approached them with even so much as an inquiry about opening a strip club.
I find out last week that Zack's profile on Facebook is gone. Kevin tells me that Facebook suspended Zack's account, but the Central Show Girls page is still up. Not anymore as of November 15. Very suspiciously, the Central Show Girls page is now also gone.
I should have been suspicious of this from the very beginning for many reasons. The first giveaway should have been the dancers that were "hired". CMU cheerleaders? Looking back, that should have been a dead giveaway. There is no way in hell that college cheerleaders are going to risk their spot on the squad and the possibility of someone they know walking into the club to strip for a living.
Also, why would a supposedly successful strip club owner in Las Vegas have anything to do with an unknown commodity in Michigan? That also makes no sense to me.
Another giveaway should have been the hours of operation for this club. They wanted to operate from 11am to 5am daily. I told Kevin that LCC regulations would not allow it; that the club could not serve past 2am and that all customers had to leave by 2:30am unless a special permit was issued and that even with the special permit all customers had to be out by 4am. He assured me that the club could stay open until 5am. Several days later, I sent Kevin a link to the LCC enforcement page that specifically states what I told him. The hours of operation were then finally changed. Someone who is going to own or manage a club should be aware of LCC regulations, or at least have some knowledge before applying for a liquor license.
Another giveaway should have been the opening night. Supposedly, Zack has a relative (Chris Iteen from Extreme Sound & Entertainment) who is the road manager for the rock band Pop Evil. Zack told me that they had booked Pop Evil to play music and that Kid Rock and Eminem were going to be there for the New Year's Eve opening night. My thoughts: highly unlikely. Especially considering that according to Pop Evil's own MySpace page, they are going to be in Pontiac at the Crofoot Ballroom that night. Where's that eye roll smiley?
Finally, I should have been suspicious when the city of Mt. Pleasant throws a hissy fit about a tattoo parlor relocating from Utica Township to the city of Mt. Pleasant, yet a strip club is opening and no one says a word. There were stories about the tattoo parlor in the Morning Sun, the Mt. Pleasant newspaper, but not one word about a new strip club (especially considering the controversy about Mt. Pleasant keeping Hooter's out of their city.)
Here's what I can't understand…what is the payoff? The only possibilities I can come up with are either getting attention from the dancers, obtaining personal information, or trying to lure naïve girls to an isolated location for who knows what. I know that many dancers at Parkway Tropics were approached about dancing at this "new" club. In fact, Kevin was kicked out of Parkway and banned until the end of the year for recruiting girls. I can only imagine that dancers at Lady Godiva's, Sensation's, Red Barn, and Tini Bikini's were also approached about working at this "new" club. Kevin also told me that Cool Mike from Sensation's was hired as a manager for the new club. I hope that Cool Mike is reading this and doesn't get his hopes up like I did. Based on my investigation, this club is never going to materialize.
I feel really bad for the girls who were approached about this new club with promises of lodging, day care for their children, transportation, and lots of money. Yes, these were the promises made to these girls. I'm angry that someone spread lies like this and for what reason.
I can tell you of action I have taken. I have printed this posting and will place it in the dressing room of Parkway Tropics as an abject lesson of being careful of whom to trust. I have blocked Kevin Green from my Facebook account and highly recommend that any strip club dancer or employee do the same, whether or not they have been approached for this bogus club. I'll be taking steps to ensure that Kevin Green and Zack Lopez are banned from Parkway Tropics for life.
I hate liars. Many people were lied to; most importantly I was lied to. Kevin, Zack, the jig is up. Next time you want to spread fiction, I suggest going to a website dedicated to that purpose. www.writing.com may be a good place for you two to start.

Powell is currently second in the Class 3A Northwest Division after losing to first-place Jackson Friday and beating last-place Lander Saturday.
The Panthers kept it close against the Jackson Broncs (2-0, 12-6) but lost in straight sets 22-25, 26-28, 20-25.
"We played a hard-fought match against Jackson on Friday, coming just a few points short each set," said head coach Cindi Smith.
Smith said the Panthers' block wasn't as effective as it could have been, and it cost them some points.
"We didn't always set it correctly and our timing on the high set was off," Smith said. "This is an area we will focus on and strive to improve."
Senior Shawnea Harrington recorded 10 kills to lead Powell's attack against the Broncs. Freshman Kalina Smith had eight and senior Cassidi Partridge had three.
"We are going to work to continue to see growth in our passing which will bring stronger offensive opportunities to our front line," Smith said.
Powell's consistent serving limited the points it gave up to Jackson. The Panthers made 97.1 percent of their serves. Sophomore Breanna Donarski (16-for-16), junior Jenni Ebersberger (12-for-12) and junior Kelsey Marchant (12-for-12) were all perfect from behind the serving line.
Ebersberger led Powell with 23 digs. Smith added 11 and Donarski had eight.
The Panthers turned it around Saturday afternoon and jumped on Lander on their way to a 25-14, 25-18, 25-23 victory.
Smith got back into double-digits with 11 kills, while Harrington had seven and junior Makaila Moore had four.
Moore was the only Panther to not miss a serve with an 8-for-8 performance.
Ebersberger and Smith each missed one serve and went an identical 13-for-14.
Ebersberger also had 20 digs. Smith was second on the team with 16 and Donarski had eight for the second-straight day.
Powell, which was ranked sixth in last week's Wyopreps.com poll will look to make a move into the top five after No. 5 Glenrock (0-4, 8-11) currently sits in last place in the 3A East.
The Panthers hit the road today (Thursday) for a 6 p.m. match at Class 3A East Worland.

I have lived and dominated the negative effects of ADHD without meds! My younger brother and an two adult buddies of mine were perscribed ritaline. In all three cases I watched my family and friends become addicted and majorly effected negatively by taking these pills in dramatic ways! My friend Chad was given methylin for his narcolepsy. Chad was an electrician after completing college for this field of work. As Chad drove home he became at risk of falling asleep since he had sleep problems. After confirming this was because he had narcolepsy, his doctor perscribed methylin for his narcolepsy!? A drug given to ADHD victoms. I can't understand why a doctor would attempt to fix a sleep problem with an ADHD stimulant! Since Chad took the drug, his life was increasingly on a downward spiral! He slept much less and became weird! He WAS my best best friend before Methylin. I saw the effects of this drug as it wrecked Chad's mind. He became addicted. His doctor continued to increase his dosage until he was obsessed with the drug! Chad lost his job, lost all his friends and made Methylin his only passion. He now is a compulsive Methylin head who abuses his perscribed pills as most people do. He became depressed and now abuses the pills while he sits in his parents basement while he snorts his "solution" even though he has no need to stay awake since he's been jobless for six years and hardley drives anywhere these days. Many old friends called him out, saying he changed and needs to stop taking these life wrecking pills. He admitts he is addicted and eventually going to die from an overdose. A successful man with slepping issues lost his life because of these ADHD/sleeping problem pills (in one) given to help his tired eyes while driving. Four seasures later, his doctor admitts these pills are causing his seassures. Still his perscriptions come at top legal limit persentage while his phamacy continues to question his doctors decision as all his friends and family do the same. It doesn't make sence! Chad will admitt he lost his house, friends, job, confidence, and will to live because of methylin! His doctor was contacted by authorities but he still snorts up these white pills while watching movies in his parents basement at age 32. Thanks for all you did for him! Rob Cone was administered ADHD meds his whole childhood. He is now an adult who swears the pills made him depressed and uncomfortable throughout his childhood. Rob now speaks out against parents controling their kids behavior with ritaline! Rob says the fact he took Ritaline as a child is still his biggest life regret he wishes he could take back! My little brother was an over active kid as I was. He got bored with school and couldn't sit through long classes all day. By the age of 11 his school councelor requested he got evaluated for ADHD. He was diagnosed and spent 6yrs on concerta. He has obvious growth and attention issues since taking the pills. He claims the pills make him uncomfortable, stop his ability to be happy and his energy levels are depleted if he goes without the pills for two days or more. He thinks the pills make him depressed and block his ability to interact socially when the pills are in his system. He wants to stop the pills but his mom watches him swallow his pill eachmorning in fear he will sell the pills on the black market as his school warned. What's wrong with people? I've seen cases of people buying pills everyday and becoming addicted to pills they don't like! These are legal meth pills that are replacing parenting and dicipline! I tried the pills myself and became addicted immediately! ADHD, Narcolepsy and eating disorders are all receiving the same treatment! It's the biggest crime I've heard of and experianced! Doctors are constantly increasing their victoms for blood money! The effect on any person is the same ADHD or not! Someone will sooner or later put the drug dealing doctors in jail for this I promise you! I know first hand what behavioral control these pills cause. My son's

The city's Water Utility Division is once again offering thawing service for outside water lines. Its equipment had broken down before the latest cold snap.
Temperatures downtown dipped to 2 degrees Monday and minus 3 degrees Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. The lowest temperatures at the Juneau Airport were a balmy 6 degrees Monday and 3 degrees Tuesday.
The city's 14-year-old electrical generator was repaired Tuesday, said Utilities Superintendent Grant Ritter. The two-member thawing crew planned to use it for a couple of thawing jobs Wednesday, he said.
The service costs $135 for a half hour and is available from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays on a first-come, first-served basis, Ritter said. Residents may set up an appointment after hours by calling the answering service at 789-8844.
The city thaws outside service lines that run to houses. It does not thaw indoor plumbing because it doesn't want to compete with private businesses that do so, Ritter said.
A crew typically can unthaw an outside line in less than 30 minutes, he said. It will move on to the next house if it cannot unthaw a line in 30 minutes if there is a waiting list, he said. But if time allows, the city will spend more time at a house.
When a long cold snap hit Juneau in the late 1990s, the city unthawed lines in groups instead of on a first-come, first-thawed basis, Ritter said.
Local plumbing companies have been busy thawing indoor pipes and typically leave the outside lines to the city, company officials say.
"The thaw machines have been really busy in the last few days," said Darren Moore, an employee at Cameron's Plumbing and Heating. Cameron's has received about 200 calls in the past few days, when the latest cold snap started, he said.
Ward's Plumbing & Heating has been busy with about a dozen calls daily, said co-owner Mike Ward. He found an "iceberg" under a trailer at Switzer Creek on Tuesday night after the pipes froze and broke.
The cold snap that started Saturday will begin to lift today when temperatures are expected to reach the mid- to upper 20s, said Pete Rahe, a hydro meteorological technician at the National Weather Service in Juneau. By this weekend, temperatures are expected to reach the mid- to upper 30s.
But cold days in Juneau may not be over, Rahe said. Last March, Juneau experienced some of its coldest temperatures of the year, he said.

Report: Payton to attend Saints game
Suspended New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton plans to attend Sunday night's game against the San Diego Chargers, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Payton, who is serving a season-long suspension, is forbidden from having contact with the team, but a league spokesman said that a postgame meeting is being arranged between Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, who requested that Payton, GM Mickey Loomis and assistant Joe Vitt be invited to the game.
Brees has thrown at least one touchdown in 47 straight games and will break Johnny Unitas' all-time NFL record with a scoring strike against the San Diego Chargers, his former team.
Loomis and Vitt have declined the invitation and won't attend, a league source told Schefter, based on their feelings toward the NFL, the source said.
Brees signed with the Saints before the 2006 season, as he was recovering from a serious right shoulder injury. The Saints are 0-4 this season, and Brees has struggled with a 57.6 completion percentage, his lowest since 2003.

The Truth About Games is now open to the public, offering news and reviews designed for people who love video games, but don't always have time to read about them.
Online PR News – 02-October-2012 – London – Games are now enjoyed by everyone, from grey haired old ladies playing Texas Hold 'em or Bejewelled 2, to toddlers learning the alphabet with Elmo's ABCs, to office workers playing Farmville. Call of Duty and Angry Birds may get most of the headlines, but games are now played by both genders and all ages. It's not about being a 'gamer', it's simply about finding the right digital toy to play with.
The peculiar thing is that games media have not kept pace with the relentless change of their audience. Most games magazines are still written for late-teen or early-twenty-something males, while games websites offer such long-form copy that nobody but the most committed (and time rich) player would have time to plough through the verbiage to get to an opinion.
The Truth About Games has been set up to help people with lives discover games they like. Its reviews are never longer than 150 words and come with a pithy summary and a simple mark out of 5, making them quick and easy to read as well as informative.
To the same end, The Truth About Games will never post more than two news stories per day, avoiding the half-founded industry rumours and long-range previews that can clog-up otherwise informative news feeds.
Finally, The Truth About Games will link to fuller coverage of bigger releases to help assist in more expensive purchasing decisions, but crucially these links will be carefully vetted for accuracy and readability.
Founder, Nick Gillett said, "The Truth About Games is the website I've always wanted to read. It's straightforward, interesting and useful but short enough that I can still earn a living and see my children occasionally."
Founded by: Nick Gillett
Nick has been writing and talking about games since the 90s, for media including The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Sky News, Channel 4 News, ITN, BBC World Service, Radio 2, Radio 4 and Radio 6 amongst others.

Thousands sing at "Idol" trial in Alabama
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (Reuters) - More than 8,000 "American
Idol" hopefuls auditioned for the hit talent show in
Birmingham, Ala., on Monday, hoping to follow in the footsteps
of two previous winners who hail from the southern city.
Would-be pop stars from states as far flung as Virginia,
Michigan and California attempted to sway producers in brief
auditions. Monday's try-out was part of a series of nationwide
Ruben Studdard, winner of the show's second season in 2003.
"Maybe I'll get the fever and the magic will rub off on
me," said Roberto Adams of Atlanta, Ga.
Birmingham, which coincidentally calls itself the "Magic
City," was the birthplace of several members of the
Temptations, while country singer Tammy Wynette briefly lived
there before she was famous.

Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Swansea City, Arsenal and Everton stars all feature.
The term 'it sticks to his foot like glue' is probably thrown around too much when it comes to generalisations about players who are very effective in possession of the ball.
The Premier League has seen some truly gifted midfielders take big headlines this season such as Michael Carrick of Manchester United and Santi Cazorla of Arsenal but surprisingly they are not the best when it comes to controlling and protecting the ball.
When it comes down to the nitty gritty of literally being an effective 'footballer' those players get outshone by some surprising names from teams that haven't always been grabbing the headlines on a weekly basis.
The best ball players this season have been the stars who it's most difficult for the opposition to dispossess and you'll probably be surprised at some of the names on the list because it's not all about players who are similar to Xavi and Andres Iniesta of Barcelona.
Whether it's defenders needing to guide the ball out from the back four or midfield maestros looking to spray the ball around the middle of the pitch, ball retention is the key to building and maintaining pressure on the opposition.
Here are the top five players in terms of ball control this season, based on whoscored.com's top 20 attacking and defensive players of the season - with the top player being the one who was dispossessed the least times;
1) Chico (Swansea City) dispossessed 0.5 times per game on average
2) Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspur) dispossessed 0.6 times per game on average
3) Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) dispossessed 0.7 times per game on average
4) Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) dispossessed 0.8 times per game on average
5) Leighton Baines (Everton) dispossessed 0.9 times per game on average
Are you surprised? Who did you expect to see on the list?

Exercise 5. Attitude toward school vouchers and presidential vote
Analysts of voting behavior often attempt to explain voting behavior on the basis of certain policy issues. The argument is that voters choose between candidates based on their issue positions. Voters with more conservative positions on these issues should be more likely to vote for Republican candidates, while those who have more liberal positions should be more likely to vote for Democratic candidates. One such issue in recent elections is whether government school vouchers should be used to fund education. Perhaps that issue influenced how some people voted. To examine this possibility, we can look at a table that relates attitude on school vouchers (V137) to presidential vote. For the reasons suggested in Exercise 1, you should use the recoded version of V002 that you created for that exercise, so that you examine only the major-party vote (i.e., only the Bush and Kerry voters).
After examining Table 5A, you should conclude that those who favored school vouchers had a greater propensity to for Bush than those who opposed vouchers. Does this mean that voters cast their ballots in part on the basis of this issue, or is there something else that might cause this relationship? In social science research, we have to be careful about attributing causality. Often, two variables are associated not because one affects the other but because both are influenced by some third variable, commonly referred to as an extraneous or confounding variable.
One possible extraneous or confounding variable is party identification. The relationship in Table 5A could be due to the fact that both variables are affected by party identification. To examine this possibility, one needs to construct a three-variable table that shows the relationship between attitude on school vouchers, presidential vote, and party identification. To keep the table simple and to ensure that you have a sufficient N for each column, you should recode V137 so that it has just two categories (favor and oppose) and use the recoded version of party identification that you created for exercise one (Democrats, independents, and Republicans).
In this example, the relationship between attitude toward school vouchers and presidential vote is extremely weak once we control for party identification. This tells us that the original relationship between attitude toward vouchers and vote is basically spurious.

Swedish sniper found guilty of murdering two immigrants
A Swedish court on Tuesday found a man guilty of two murders and four attempted murders after he terrorised the southern city of Malmoe with a shooting spree targeting immigrants.
Malmoe district court said in a statement it had found there was "convincing evidence that Peter Mangs has committed 13 (of the 20) crimes he was charged with, including two murders, four attempted murders."
Mangs was found guilty of killing Kooros Effatian, a 66-year-old Iranian immigrant, in the victim's apartment in June 2003, and Trez West Persson, a 20-year-old Swedish woman who was shot while sitting in a parked car next to a friend of immigrant origin.
The 40-year-old Swede was however acquitted of the murder of Firas al-Shariah, a 23-year-old man reportedly of Iraqi origin who was shot outside his front door in July 2003.
Mangs was arrested in November 2010 after a massive manhunt following a string of shootings against people of immigrant origin that gripped Sweden's third largest city with fear.
On Tuesday, he was also found guilty of four of the 12 counts of attempted murder he had been charged with, after having fired numerous shots with his Glock 19 pistol at homes, businesses and cars as well as out in the open, seriously injuring a number of people and coming close to killing many others.
And he was found guilty of three counts of aggravated threats.
The court said Mangs would now undergo a psychiatric exam to determine whether he should be sent to prison or a closed psychiatric ward, and that his sentence would likely be announced during the first half of September.

It seems like the chief co-ordinator of evil and badness in Thor 2: The Dark World is set to be Malekith the Accursed, as played by Christopher Eccleston. Will this deny the naughty-naughty Loki a role? And if he does have a part, how big will it be?
Our first clue seems to come from a tiny news report on the Icelandic website, Visir. They say a crowd of 500 helped shoot a big battle scene between Thor and Loki in Iceland this week.
Sounds like a big scene, even if it's all Loki has to do in the whole movie. I hope he gets to do more, but I'm just glad he at least gets to do this.
For further confimation that Tom Hiddleston was actually in Iceland and Visir weren't just jumping to a faulty conclusion, there's this tweet:
Sometimes the answer is to climb the nearest mountain and everything is better. Literally. Not a metaphor. #iceland
— Tom Hiddleston (@twhiddleston) October 16, 2012
Our first confirmation that Loki will be in Thor 2? I think so.

Join us for a FREE Complete Exercise Class FFTC Day at Stroller Strides
Just yesterday, I was bemoaning the fact that I didn't know why I couldn't keep up an exercise routine. Yes, it's cold, and yes, I don't like getting up in the morning, but even when I decide to do it later in the day, I don't do it. I want to like it and when I'm done, I'm almost always glad I did it. But I can't seem to get the grit to go.
- I thought it was the kids. I didn't want to put them in childcare.
- I thought it was that I wasn't meeting someone so I wasn't being kept accountable.
- I thought it was that I didn't have enough time.
If you are like me and struggle getting some good exercise in for any of the reasons above, you will want to join us for FFTC Day at Stroller Strides.
This is an intense complete workout. No joke!
FFTC Day at Stroller Strides is going to be your exercise for the day. Come in your workout clothes and your sneakers. Bring your kids, your stroller, a yoga mat/towel and your water bottle.
Be ready to sweat.

Scheurer lauded for cancer fighting efforts
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, March 5, 2006
PIGEON Representatives from the American Cancer Society, Great Lakes Division recently recognized the efforts of a number of employees at Scheurer Hospital through the American Cancer Societys Workplace Solutions program.
Scheurer Hospital was given the Five Star Investor and Five Star Community Investor awards for its efforts in the fight against cancer. The prestigious awards are given to worksites that are active in fighting cancer on multiple fronts through the program and services of the American Cancer Society.
Scheurer Hospital is a leader in the fight against todays number one health concern, said Sharon Greenhoe, American Cancer Society regional executive director. By investing their time and energy into fighting cancer, we will save more lives and see fewer cases of this disease that takes so much from so many.
Megan Gibelyou, community development director, along with Dawn Jahr, also from the American Cancer Society, traveled to the hospital Tuesday to present the awards to many of the Scheurer Hospital employees who were active in cancer fighting efforts.
This is the fourth year in a row the hospital has received the Five Star Investor Award which is for the worksites that are active in fighting cancer, and the Five Star Community Investor for hospitals who work in the community to prevent cancer and reach out to those affected by cancer, said Marie Maust, RN at Scheurer Hospital.
To earn this recognition, worksites like Scheurer Hospital had to participate in a variety of American Cancer Society initiatives.
We had to have five in each category, and we had seven, Maust said.
Some of the initiatives in which Scheurer Hospital participated included sharing health information with its employees, cancer screenings, cancer support groups, access to cancer information, taking part in Relay for Life, and the Tell a Friend program, to name a few.

Gardner To Get England U21 Chance Tonight?
The England U21's play Germany tonight having already guaranteed a semi-final place in the Euro Championships.
The game kicks off at 7:45pm and is on Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports HD.
It isn't clear yet whether Gabby Agbonlahor has recovered from his calf injury in time to play but he has taken part in a 'light training session' over the weekend.
Meanwhile James Milner who bossed the last game (v Spain) has been a naughty boy and is suspended! As Craig Gardner replaced him in the 84th minute of the last game, maybe he'll be the automatic replacement tonight?
As we have qualified, you'd hope that Gabby is rested if there is any doubt.. or rested full stop..?
There is plenty on the FA site including the ambitions of Stuart Pearce: Click Here
He says - with England U21's having a good record v Germany, 'We feel we have pace and power in our squad. Look at Fraizer Campbell, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott, James Milner. We've got pace on the counter-attack and the modern game is about the counter-attack.'
Mark Noble says the team are focused on winning the clash tonight. ' It was a great win for us on Thursday and has set us up nicely for the semi-final, but we still have one more group game to win tonight.' Adding, 'But just because we are through, we're not going to take it easy, we want to win the game, finish top of the group and send out a message to the others teams.'

And don't forget Vital Villa is also there! www.facebook.com/pages/Near-Villa-Park/Vital-Villa When I say 'there' I don't mean at the U21's game... sadly... just on facebook!

Stephen Colbert Finds Better Voiceovers For Tiger's Nike Commercial
Last night Stephen took a crack at putting different voiceovers on the Tiger's new Nike Ad. Oddly enough, the Leave It To Beaver and Young Frankenstein pep talks are more appropriate than the original.
Did the elder Woods record thousands of voiceovers for any eventuality in his son's life, or did he record this as an all-purpose soundbite that could be used for anything?

BROOKSVILLE — Students at several Hernando County high schools have a new incentive to perform well in the classroom.
Through the Communities in Schools' Computers for Kids program, top-performing students could be awarded refurbished computers made of parts collected from old computers in the community.
The program started about a year ago with a few donations to Computer Corrections, a local technology repair store owned by James Tomasello. Now, the organization is asking residents and businesses to drop off their old computers at the store and at other locations around the county.
"This is a perfect opportunity to get some of the computers that are not just junk and get them into the hands of people who need them," Tomasello said.
To help take some of the workload off Tomasello, the program is taking on 15 high school students to work on the computers for the summer.
In teams of three, the students will learn what makes up a computer, then what it takes to get a computer to work, Tomasello said.
A quick lesson in computers: For one to turn on, it needs a motherboard, a processor, a power supply and random-access memory, known as RAM. For a computer to support an operating system, it needs two additional parts — a hard drive and, most of the time, a CD drive.
Tomasello said he will teach students how to identify and put these and other more specific parts together to make a working computer. At the end of the summer, they'll be rewarded with technology upgrades or new equipment.
"I plan to give them enough info to be useful for this program and possibly spark an interest in learning more," he said.
StoreRight Self Storage owner Dawn Shallcross made a storage unit available for the computers before they're taken to Tomasello's shop. In the last few weeks, Shallcross said, community members have donated 12 computers.
So far, the shop has turned over six computers — one to an individual student, two to Hernando High School and three to Central High School — said Tracy Echols, executive director of Hernando's Communities in Schools program, a nonprofit organization that aims to reduce dropout rates at Hernando, Central and Springstead high schools.
At Central High, the computers will be given to the three students who score the highest on this year's math end-of-course exam, said assistant principal Kelly Slusser.
The School District has pushed schools to use technology more for homework and class assignments, Slusser said. Central has computers available for students to use, but many families don't own computers at home.
"Every school would like to have more technology. That's across the state," Slusser said. "But definitely at home, there tends to be more of a need."
Computers will also be given to two students at Hernando High based on need and academic performance, said Sarah Bennett, the school's site coordinator for Communities in Schools.
"There are so many students who don't have access to a computer and don't have one at home," Bennett said. "We just think in today's world, everybody's on the same page, but we're not."

A Los Angeles County man caught collecting and distributing child pornography–including images of infants–admitted guilt this week inside Orange County's Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse.
Undercover FBI agents roaming the Internet and using peer-to-peer software downloaded 14 child porn images from John Eric Goldman's computer in May 2011.
One photograph depicted a 12-year-old girl performing oral sex on an adult male; other images were titled "toddler" and "infant," according to court records.
A raid discovered Goldman stored more than 600 illegal images on his computer and a federal grand jury indicted him in December 2012.
Goldman signed a formal guilty plea in May with Assistant United States Attorney Lana Morton-Owens, a member of the Department of Justice's Violent and Organized Crime Section in LA.
According to the plea, the mandatory minimum punishment is 60 months in prison plus various sex offender restrictions such as staying at least 100 feet away from schools.
But the final decision about Goldman's punishment is up to U.S. District Court Judge Andrew J. Guilford, who ordered a February 2014 sentencing hearing.
Goldman, who was born in 1966, remains free from custody on $25,000 bail.

Recommended Service SDLC Governance Checkpoints
After defining our first set of services we need to build and deliver. Developing services in REST (i.e., for purposes of reuse across multiple applications) usually requires more of the production team than a single-use component, module, or object. For example, a reusable service is maintainable, discoverable, and consumable.
Maintainability introduces such concepts as version control, models, and other design documentation. In addition, maintainability involves requirements traceability (why was the asset implemented in a certain way from a technical and business perspective).
Discoverability forces us to consider how we help potential consumers of the asset find the asset.
Consumability involves looking at the asset from a downstream project planning point of view to determine how to use the asset. For instance, is there a user guide, a well-documented API, sample code, and other artifacts available to help a user rapidly understand how to apply the asset? Further, are dependencies on other assets (and to prior versions of the asset) specified and easily navigated?
We achieve high standards for our services under development by establishing standardized governance/review checkpoints throughout the service SDLC. Taliferro IT Consulting recommends at a minimum, organizations should review services under development upon reaching the following points in the SDLC:
- Requirements Complete: All business requirements documented and initial service definition specified (ideally as WADL) to allow reviewers to validate the service against its business architectural context
- Design Complete: Implementation approach defined with sufficient documentation (e.g., design models, relevant legacy APIs identified) to allow reviewers to validate design against technical, application and/or integration architectural contexts
- Implementation Complete: Service implemented and deployed in a test environment with sufficient supporting documentation (e.g., sample code, test cases and results, usage guide) to enable a potential consumer to understand the service and to trust its quality and stability
Other review points are necessary based on organizational needs and objectives. However, refrain from overwhelming your development teams with process for the sake of process. Otherwise, you will quickly instill a revolt of the masses by forcing seemingly arbitrary hoops for developers to jump through in the process of completing their work.
Management's objective should be to instill "just enough process" – not an unnecessary workload. Provide enough guidance at key points in the production and consumption life cycles to make sure things stay on track. Using the approach described, you will very likely reach the right level of process for your organization.
Begin with as lightweight a process as you think will work, and then add process steps as needed. Ultimately, a well-designed services registry/repository can assist in automating governance processes. The result is a reduction in "organizational friction" that often hinders all involved from "doing the right thing."

"Hatching chickens," one might say, is what the Atlas Economic Research Foundation is all about. The influential think tank in Arlington, Virginia, was the entrepreneurial brainchild of Britain's Sir Antony Fisher, who made a fortune developing a low-cost method for processing chickens. As a dedicated believer in free-market ideas, he next turned his attention to finding a similar method for promoting sound economic policies around the world.
He founded Atlas in 1981 to identify and assist "intellectual entrepreneurs" who shared his vision. That is, he sought to help people around the world who showed the desire and flair for promoting the essential principles of a free society. Atlas has been perpetuating Sir Antony's legacy ever since by hatching fledgling free-market think tanks in the United States and abroad, including China, India, South Africa, Turkey, and Western Europe.
Atlas is unusually structured in that it's not quite a foundation (it has no endowment) or an ordinary nonprofit association (it facilitates funding for other organizations). It rather resembles a British merchant bank that raises war-chests of capital for specific clients. Applying the merchant bank principle to Atlas was Sir Antony's innovation.
Atlas's yearly operating budget is about $3 million. "Donors give to Atlas in the same way that they invest in a mutual fund,"says Brad Lips, Atlas's COO. "They know that Atlas studies the market of start-up think-tanks around the world, and that we use their support where we see the most bang for the buck."For example, the John Templeton Foundation gave Atlas a $2 million grant to administer the Templeton Freedom Awards over four years, trusting Atlas to give prizes and grants to worthy organizations operating in difficult parts of the world.
In 2003, Atlas facilitated over $1.6 million in grants to organizations and fellowships to individuals—most of them in amounts of $10,000 or less. In 2004, Atlas grants exceeded $1.9 million.
Sir Antony Fisher "found a new niche," says Alejandro Chafuen, Atlas's president. "Atlas doesn't have an endowment as most foundations do. We aid think tank efforts by helping them establish charity tax status, raise funds, and by providing on-going consultation to help them boost productivity and improve governance. Our client organizations are in nearly 40 states and range world-wide. We choose our client organizations for their potential to encourage entrepreneurship and liberty."
Atlas is far from being a franchise operation. "The organizations we help to support are very independent-minded," says Chafuen, a native of Argentina with a Ph.D. in economics. "We can't—we don't—tell them what to do or think," he says of client organizations. Recognizing that achieving local credibility is essential for a successful institute, Atlas sees its role as nurturing the initiative of its partners, not trying to control them. Chafuen explains this approach with a biblical metaphor—the vineyard.
"We bring laborers to the vineyard to champion a free marketplace world-wide," Chafuen explains. "Vineyards are managed on similar principles. Different varieties of grapes thrive in different soils and climates. Each environment creates a different kind of grape. All grape varieties are good, but they are emphatically local." The Atlas network of U.S. and overseas think tanks encompasses more than 200 organizations.
In its earlier stage, Atlas advised organizations on how to establish themselves as nonprofits. It has moved toward serving not only as an "incubator," but also as a provider of a broad array of research and resources.
In addition to helping organizations with fundraising and advice, Atlas organizes workshops that connect the worldwide network of free-market think-tanks. In addition to sharing management strategies and policy ideas, participants find energy and inspiration from their peers. Atilla Yayla of Turkey commented, "To be honest, I never benefit from any other international meeting as much as I do from each Atlas meeting . . . . Participants have a common ground, they share basic values and aims."
When asked what best characterizes Atlas's success, however, Chafuen points to the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which Atlas helped found and which Chafuen considers one of Atlas's greatest successes.
"Although an economist can empirically describe what makes a society wealthy," says Chafuen, "there is another, ineffable factor, and that has to do with values. This is where religion is vibrant in helping to produce social wealth," Chafuen notes. "We are pleased to have helped bring into being an organization like Acton that examines such values."
Asked about Atlas's membership in The Philanthropy Roundtable, Chafuen explains that The Roundtable helps Atlas reach the best experts in the philanthropy field and also helps connect Atlas with potential philanthropic partners all over the world.

Dear maintainer of whereami and Debian translators, Two weeks ago, I sent a notice to the maintainer of the whereami Debian package, mentioning the status of at least one old po-debconf translation update in the BTS. I announced the intent to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload for this package in order to fix this long-time pending localization bug as well as all other pending translations. The package maintainer agreed for the NMU or did not respond in two weeks, so I will proceed with the NMU. Please note that this NMU will REMOVE all debconf templates as they are actually not used anymore and just clutter the package and lead translators to believe there's somethign to translate while there isn't.

Baseball Season Opens Tonight with Historic Restrictions on Tobacco
April 04, 2012
Major League Baseball players who take the field tonight and tomorrow for the opening games of the 2012 season must do so without a tin of tobacco in their uniform pockets — one of the ground-breaking restrictions on smokeless tobacco included in the new contract.
The limits on smokeless tobacco use, won through the efforts of the coalition to Knock Tobacco Out of the Park, provide an historic opportunity for players to improve their health and become better role models for millions of young fans.
Under the agreement that MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association announced in November, big-league players, managers and coaches will no longer be able to carry a tobacco tin or package in their uniforms or on their bodies at games, or any time that fans are in the ballpark. They will be prohibited from using smokeless tobacco during televised interviews, at autograph signings and other events where they meet fans, or at team-sponsored appearances. Violators are subject to discipline.
What is (and is not) in the new players' contract
We urge individual players to go further than the agreement, and completely eliminate tobacco use at games.
To be effective, the league, MLB teams and the players' union must rigorously enforce the limits. And you can help: When you see tobacco use, report it to us. We'll tell the league and the union about violations and put together a record that shows why no tobacco use should be allowed when players are at games.
The restrictions come at a time when the tobacco industry is spending record sums to promote smokeless products and hook a new generation of youth. The recent Surgeon General's report called tobacco use a "pediatric epidemic," and noted that the tobacco industry is using an array of smokeless products and marketing tactics to entice teens. It's having an effect: The rate of smokeless tobacco use by high school boys has skyrocketed by 36 percent since 2003.
We continue to support a complete prohibition on tobacco use at games and on camera.
Nevertheless, the new contract represents significant progress.
Baseball players have been using tobacco since the earliest days of the game. This agreement – and this season – marks the first time that the league and the players have recognized it is time to break this unhealthy addiction.

Three Years With SDO
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
NASA has released a video of the unbroken coverage of the sun for the past three years, taken by its Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).The spacecraft's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly snaps a shot of the sun every twelve seconds in ten different wavelengths. The latest video shows the past three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day.
[ Watch the Video: Three Years With Solar Dynamics Observatory ]
The video, released by NASA, is a collection of images based on wavelength 171 angstroms, which is in the extreme ultraviolet range and shows solar material at around about 1.08 million Fahrenheit. This wavelength allows scientists to see the sun's 25-day rotation, as well as how the solar activity has increased for the past three years. Currently, the sun is at its peak in its regular 11-year cycle, a stage known as the Solar Maximum.
During the new video, the sun increases and decreases in size because of the varying distance between the spacecraft and sun.
"The image is, however, remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact SDO orbits Earth at 6,876 mph and Earth orbits the sun at 67,062 mph," NASA said. "Such stability is crucial for scientists, who use SDO to learn more about our closest star."
NASA said these images have regularly caught solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the act. These events create space weather, sending radiation and solar material toward Earth. Space weather can potentially cause disruptions with Earth satellites and the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
"SDO´s glimpses into the violent dance on the sun help scientists understand what causes these giant explosions -- with the hopes of some day improving our ability to predict this space weather," the space agency said.
So far, the solar activity on the sun has been considerably low this year. Scientists believe this lower-than-expected solar activity means the current solar cycle will have two peaks.
"This is solar maximum, but it looks different from what we expected because it is double peaked," Dean Pesnell, a solar physicist at the Goddard Space Flight Center, explained in a statement. "Conventional wisdom holds that solar activity swings back and forth like a simple pendulum. At one end of the cycle, there is a quiet time with few sunspots and flares. At the other end, Solar Max brings high sunspot numbers and solar storms. It´s a regular rhythm that repeats every 11 years."
He said the last two solar maximums, in 1989 and 2001, had two peaks. During those periods, there was an increase in solar activity, then a decrease, and then another increase.
SDO recorded three coronal mass ejections over the course of the weekend on the sun. These events were not directed towards Earth and are not expected to disrupt satellites or any other activity.

Money, Not Justice, Will End the 'Tough on Crime' Era
For decades now, politicians— particularly those in conservative districts— have galloped into office with promises of being tougher on crime than the next guy. All this has gotten us is the world's highest incarceration rate. And it won't last forever. We can't afford it.
Recent years have brought a slow awakening to state governments that the financial cost of mass incarceration can quickly balloon to an impossible size. It's sad that it was not the human cost of mass incarceration that brought our elected leaders to this conclusion instead. But we have to take what we can get. California crammed so many people into its prisons that it's been locked in court battles about inhumane overcrowding for decades. In the past few years, state prison populations have finally begun to decline, for the first time in 40 years.
The insane "War on Drugs" drove generations of Americans into jail, and ruined millions upon millions of lives. The mass imprisonment of our own citizens during a time of general peace and prosperity will be looked upon as a black mark on our national conscience, when historians get around to tallying up its long-term consequences. The craven politicians who played on public fears and happily sent thousands of men and women to prison for decades simply to prove themselves "tough on crime" should, if the world is just, eventually be shamed and drummed out of office just as surely as former segregationists were when America finally woke up to racism's evils. That will take decades, though. In the meantime, it's enough that sanity is slowly returning to state law just for the sake of balancing budgets. When Republicans in Georgia, of all places, are pushing to decrease the state prison population, you know that this a trend that has legs. Today's WSJ story on the nationwide trend of conservative lawmakers easing back from aggressive incarceration policies notes: "New rules enacted over the past two legislative sessions are steering nonviolent offenders away from prison, emphasizing rehabilitation over jail time, and lessening the penalties for many drug and property crimes."
Reserving prison mostly for violent crimes. Rehab before jail for drug and alcohol-related crimes. And bringing the sentencing for nonviolent crimes back into the realm of the reasonable. Three simple steps that, taken together, could keep tens or hundreds of thousands of people each year out of prison, save huge amounts of money, and make our justice system more closely resemble something concerned with "justice," rather than mindless, fearful, ignorant revenge. There are still plenty of things wrong with our prison system. The least we can do is to keep as many people out of it as we can.

If there's one thing Hollywood needs more of it's westerns. We haven't had a truly great gunslinger flick since Unforgiven back in 1992, so clearly we're way overdue for a new classic. I've got high hopes that we just might get it when the Coen Brothers' latest film, True Grit, hits theaters. That's right, the Coen Brothers -- who seemingly have yet to meet a genre they won't take a crack at -- are remaking one of John Wayne's most famous films. Twitch has been kind enough to share the first pic from the production. It's pretty awesome.
The cast includes Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper, but the star of the film is none other than The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges. While I'd always hoped the Coens and Bridges would reunite for a Big Lebowski sequel, this might be the next best thing. Bridges has experience playing a western type fellow after his Oscar winning turn in Crazy Heart and he looks right at home in this picture.
