The line for wristbands likely will begin to form at dawn Saturday, and there is talk among fans of camping overnight in the parking lot to assure a prime spot. Already there are Internet negotiations from around the country to barter with those lucky enough to score. The price may be steep: The last time something like this happened, the eBay markup to buy just one was more than 2,500 percent.
Beatles tickets, with John and George risen from the Great Beyond?
No. It's beer. But not just any beer: It's the legendary Maple Bacon Coffee Porter from the Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park, which will celebrate its first commercial bottle release with an all-day festival, including live music and food trucks, from 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday at the brewery (1201 NE 38th St.).
The brewery website includes a list of specific rules for the thousands of people expected to show up for a shot at the limited batch of 3,000 22-ounce bottles that will be available.
"It's not bigger than Jesus, but we want to be prepared," the brewery's John Linn says with a laugh.
Maple Bacon Coffee Porter has been available in draft form off and on since Funky Buddha founder and brewmaster Ryan Sentz put the first small batch in bottles at the original Funky Buddha Lounge in Boca Raton in April 2011. That fall, one of the 16-ounce bottles was listed on eBay for $250, Linn says.
At beer zombie headquarters, BeerAdvocate.com, the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter was ranked the No. 2 porter in the world, and the site is littered with effusive praise from Connecticut to California for the breakfasty, maple-scented beer. (Note to vegans: Spices are used to simulate the smoky "bacon" flavor, which reviewers say is almost indistinguishable.)
"One of the most unique beers I have had the pleasure of trying," homebrew 311 from Illinois posted.
"I drove through a hailstorm just to get the chance to try this, and I'm so glad I did. Worth the money, the hype and the trouble," Immortale25 of Delaware wrote.
This response put the Funky Buddha name on the national beer map and convinced Sentz it was time to build a stand-alone brewery devoted to his "culinary" beers, Linn says. When the Funky Buddha micro brewery had its grand opening in Oakland Park last June, 2,500 fans were there.
"It's safe to say there would be no Funky Buddha Brewery if it weren't for this beer," Linn says.
Saturday's festival, beginning at 11 a.m., includes music from Snow Leopard (featuring Julius Pastorius), Spred the Dub, Short Straw Pickers and others, plus a phalanx of food trucks, among them the popular Rolling Stove and Pescados Unido.
Maple Bacon Coffee Porter will be available in 22-ounce bottles for $15 per bottle (cash only), limit two per customer, while supplies last. You'll also find many other popular examples of Sentz's hopped-up craft-beer scorcery on tap, including Snow Day, No Crusts, Rice Crispy Treat and Pineapple Jalapeno Hop Gun, to name a few.

Blues fans can rejoice that the 16th annual Coral Gables Blues Festival, typically a four-day affair, will run 11 days beginning Thursday (Jan. 16). But it comes at a cost: No Las Olas Blues Festival this year.
The organizer of both events, Harald Neuweg, of Fritz and Franz Bierhaus, had targeted Thursday through Jan. 19 for a reprise of his inaugural Las Olas Blues Festival, which debuted under rainy skies last January on the lawn next to the Riverside Hotel. Shortly after his Las Olas Oktoberfest ended on the lawn, Neuweg began booking acts for a 2014 Las Olas Blues Festival. But it turned out the lawn, once home to the popular O'Hara's blues bar, was committed to another event that weekend, according to Heiko Dobrikow, Riverside Hotel's general manager.
With no other appealing option, Neuweg added the Las Olas-bound acts to the lineup performing in front of Fritz and Franz Bierhaus in Coral Gables, and extended the festival to Jan. 16-26. The conflict was "unfortunate," says Dobrikow, who hopes a 2015 Las Olas Blues Festival will happen. "The feedback we had [on last year's festival] from the local community was very supportive."
Neuweg is planning to bring the blues back to Fort Lauderdale, as well. "I love Las Olas," he says.
The inevitable kicker to the story? Dobrikow says the business group that had secured the lawn next weekend subsequently pulled out.
Locals who have been salivating for the extra-lean beef packaged under the Chippendales label are pleased at its arrival this weekend at Mansion (1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach), where the "male revue" will perform Thursday-Saturday nights through Jan. 25. The 40,000-square-foot nightclub will be reconfigured for these 75-minute shows, with the dance floor set up with private tables, soft sofas and raised banquets, which sounds suspiciously like what we hear Scarlett's looks like. Tickets cost $49.95-$99.95. Info: 305-432-9293, Chippendales.com.
We're told that Megan Mullally and Karen Walker, who used to hang out with Will & Grace, are not the same person. One of them said: "I may be a pill-popping, jet fuel-sniffing, gin-soaked narcissist... but I'm not an actor. I listen when people speak." And one of them said: "God didn't give me the ability to play piano, paint a picture, or compassion. But he did give me the ability to crack a walnut with my hoo-ha!" It may have been the same one. At any rate, let's get to the bottom of it when Mullally offers a night of banter and Broadway standards, accompanied by pianist Seth Rudetsky (energetic host of the satellite radio show "Seth's Big Fat Broadway") on Thursday (Jan. 16) at the Parker Playhouse (707 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale). Tickets: $31.50-$76.50 (VIP $126.50). Info: 954-462-0222, ParkerPlayhouse.com.
The Cooking Channel's "Best in Chow" host Cris Nannarone will have his cameras in Fort Lauderdale this weekend looking for the best pizza in town. Nannarone has scheduled three stops for his taping: Dough Boys, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza and Kitchenetta. All make a fine pie, but we have our money on Kitchenetta's Vincent Foti, who opened his restaurant at 2850 N. Federal Highway 10 years ago this spring (can that be right?). Foti will be slinging dough in front of the cameras at 5:30 p.m. Sunday while making his specialty pizza: five-cheese with prosciutto di parma and baby arugula. The restaurant will be open during the taping. Info: 954-567-3333, Kitchenetta.com.
Later this month, the Indigo Girls' Amy Ray will perform three album-release shows — in Atlanta, Asheville and Durham, N.C. — to celebrate her solo work titled "Goodnight Tender," but we're hoping to get a sneak peek at the Girls' performance at the Kravis Center on Thursday (Jan. 16). As the other half of the duo, Emily Saliers, said in advance of their shamefully underattended Lauderdale Live show last month, Ray has created "a fantastic record. It's country, like real down-home country. It's a wonderful record." Tickets: $25-$128. Info: 800-572-8471, Kravis.org.
"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," the slacker hit starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, hit theaters 25 years ago next month. But if you think you'd seen the last of the duo, think again: Reeves, who, unbelievably, turns 50 this year, recently told NBC's "Today" show that there's a script for another "Bill & Ted" adventure. The "Matrix" star is scraping together the money to make the film. "I think it's pretty surreal, playing 'Bill & Ted' at 50. But we have a good story in that," Reeves said. "You can see the life and joy in those characters, and I think the world can always use some life and joy." In case you need a refresher, the original film will screen for free Friday at 8 p.m. in the ArtsPark in downtown Hollywood. Info: 954-921-3500, VisitHollywoodFL.org.
It is not being billed as a sing-along, but how can you resist, and who's going to stop you? The free Friday movie on the waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach is the John Travolta-Olivia Newton John musical "Grease." Have your blanket, chairs and kids (and perhaps an umbrella) arranged on the lawn by 8 p.m. Looking ahead, the Valentine's Day movie on Feb. 14 will be romantic disaster flick "Titanic." Info: 561-822-1515, WPB.org.
Oshogatsu, the Japanese New Year's celebration at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens (4000 Morikami Park Road, Delray Beach) is one of the best places to torture friends and family up North with balmy, palmy Instagram photos. Sunday's 37th annual festivities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (celebrating the Year of the Horse) again offer a long lineup of exotic, educational and family-friendly activities. And there's the Kirin Beer Garden and Sake Station. Just saying. Admission is $6-$15. Info: 561-495-0233, Morikami.org.
Buy your tickets before the end of Friday and you'll pay just $20 for the next Fort Lauderdale Bus Loop on Jan. 17, a beach circuit that includes the new Bokamper's (3115 NE 32nd Ave., on the Intracoastal at Oakland Park Boulevard). Tickets for the trolley bar-hop fundraiser rise to $30 from Friday to noon Jan. 17, and $35 at check-in (cash only) at Bokamper's and Tropic Cay (529 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd.). Other stops include the Parrot Lounge, S3, Sandbar, McSorley's, Tonic, Tokyo Blue and Bamboo Beach Club. Proceeds benefit Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, Covenant House Florida, Broward County Gator Club and Jack & Jill Children's Center. Info: 954-574-6000, BusLoop.org.
By the time polarizing comic Andrew Dice Clay brings his famously classless and profane persona onstage at the Fort Lauderdale Improv next Thursday (Jan. 16), he may be introduced with words you never thought you'd hear in this lifetime: "Please welcome, Academy Award nominee Andrew Dice Clay." However unlikely, Clay's improbable against-type performance in Woody Allen's critically lauded "Blue Jasmine" has put him on the fringes of the conjecture about this year's Oscar nominations, which will be announced Thursday morning. Even if he doesn't make the cut, you have to imagine the day will be a strange and special one for Clay. Performances are Jan. 16-18 at the Hard Rock comedy club (5700 Seminole Way, Hollywood). Tickets are $35 (two-drink minimum). Info: 954-981-5653, FTL.Improv.com.
Billy Joel returns to Sunrise on Saturday for a performance in the BB&T Center, but the afterglow will stretch into the following weekend, when the Sunrise Civic Center Amphitheater (10610 W. Oakland Park Blvd.) debuts its free Tunes 'N Trucks concert series with the seven-piece Billy Joel tribute band Turnstiles. The monthly outdoor party will offer food trucks at 6 p.m. and music starting at 7 p.m. Info: 954-747-4600.
The rich rewards of New Orleans' Revivalists will be on display Friday night at the Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton, where the Lee Boys and the Heavy Pets take over on Saturday (FunkyBiscuit.com) … Onetime Las Olas Boulevard favorite Gary King performs at Blue Jean Blues on Saturday (BlueJeanBlues.net) … The Spam Allstars funk up the dance floor at The Stage in Miami on Saturday (TheStageMiami.com) … Natalie Merchant shares her dynamic post-Maniacs philosophy at the Arsht Center on Sunday (ArshtCenter.org) … Folk icon Tom Rush is at the Broward Center Sunday night (BrowardCenter.org) … Trumpeter Chris Botti shows off his Grammy-winning style Wednesday at the Kravis Center (Kravis.org) and Jan. 17 at the Arsht Center (ArshtCenter.org) …

(24 hours)
5800 Law Drive
Harrison, Arkansas 72601
Boone County is located in the Ozark Mountains on the Missouri border in north central Arkansas. It was created April 9, 1869, mostly from a large part of Carroll County and a small strip of Marion County.
Boone County is an area noted for beautiful scenery. Early settlers saw the alluring beauty of our beloved mountains, fertile valleys and sparkling streams. It was easy for them to choose to settle and raise their children in such a beautiful place.
Contrary to popular belief, it was not named for Daniel Boone. Its original name was Boon, so named because the residents believed it would be a boon to all who settled there. The final e was added later.
Boone County contains 604 square miles, 11 square miles of which is water, and is bordered by Carroll, Marion, Newton and Searcy Counties in Arkansas and Taney County, Missouri. Boone County has a population of 36,903 as of the 2010 census. The county seat is the City of Harrison. Cities and towns in our county include Alpena, Bellefonte, Bergman, Diamond City, Everton, Harrison, Lead Hill, Olvey, Omaha, South Lead Hill, Valley Springs and Zinc.
Public school districts include Alpena, Bergman, Harrison, Lead Hill, Omaha, and Valley Springs. North Arkansas College has three campus sites within Harrison.
Harrison has been rated by Rand McNallys "Places Rated Retirement Guide" as one of the Top 10 most ideal retirement spots in the country for climate and terrain, housing, affordability, low crime, health-care facilities and recreational opportunities. Once a zinc and lead mining area, Boone County now depends more on cattle and timber as its economic base. Shops featuring Ozark handmade arts and crafts, restaurants, home-style cured meats, and mountain cooking are dotted along Scenic Highway 7 that stretches through Boone County.
Bull Shoals Lake and Table Rock Lakes, located in the northeast and northwest corners, are well known for fishing and camping. The Corp of Engineers operates and maintains popular campsites on the lakes at Diamond City and Cricket Creek. Picturesque Crooked Creek, which winds through the county south to east, is noted for excellent smallmouth bass fishing. The White River runs through the northern part of the county and Buffalo National River is a short drive away.

Pérez Art Museum Miami Exceeds $200,000 Matching Grant from Knight Foundation for PAMM Fund for African American Art
160 Matching Gifts Will Fund Acquisition of Art Works by African American Artists
MIAMI – August 21, 2017 – Today, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) announced that it exceeded its $200,000 fundraising goal to match a challenge grant for the PAMM Fund for African American Art, a fund initiated for the purchase of contemporary art by African American artists for the museum's permanent collection. Gifts by 160 supporters helped PAMM exceed its goal by more than $7,000. The fund also gained 62 new Ambassador members, who will continue to help shape the institution's collection of contemporary art by African American artists and support the fund's inclusive nature.
"We could not have surpassed the match without the help of our community," said PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans. "From a dollar to six-figure gifts, every gift will make a difference in continuing to ensure that our collection is reflective of our diverse community."
The fundraising campaign was initiated in February at PAMM's Fourth Annual Reception for the Fund for African American Art, where Alberto Ibargüen, president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, announced the $200,000 challenge grant. That evening, fund ambassador member and trustee Dorothy A. Terrell spearheaded efforts by generously donating $100,000 towards the match, encouraging more supporters to come forward to support PAMM's acquisition of world-class works by African American artists for generations to come.
"Great art not only inspires, it connects us to each other and this vibrant city we call home," said Alberto Ibargüen, Knight Foundation president. "We're delighted that the community stepped up to the challenge to join us in building an important collection of work by African American artists."
Through the completion of this match, the fund will be endowed in in perpetuity, offering the opportunity to create a collection of the highest artistic standard that reflects PAMM's community, as well as a more inclusive environment for being challenged by, and delighting in, art.
The PAMM Fund for African American Art was established in 2013 with a $1 million donation, funded equally by Jorge M. Pérez and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, for the purchase of contemporary art by African American artists for the museum's permanent collection. Through the Fund, the museum first acquired works by Al Loving, Faith Ringgold, and Xaviera Simmons. These works joined other significant PAMM collection objects by artists such as Leonardo Drew, Sam Gilliam, Rashid Johnson, Lorna Simpson, James Van Der Zee, Carrie Mae Weems, Kehinde Wiley, and Purvis Young. At the last Annual Reception for the PAMM Fund for African American Art, the museum acquired works by Kevin Beasley, Martine Syms, Juana Valdes, Theaster Gates, and Sam Gilliam.

My daughter Geneva is now in her teens, but back when she was a peanut-allergic kid in her prime trick-or-treat years, Halloween presented a tricky challenge.
How were we to wrestle her hard-earned nutty goodies away without a pitched battle? Somehow, our heartfelt "it's for your own good" speech was always lost on her, and tears would make little paths through her face makeup.
We needed a plan. And so, the Great Pumpkin came to the rescue. It was a fine tale I concocted, an allergic cross between the famous Charles Schulz pumpkin patch tale and the Easter Bunny.
In my version, a large, orange benefactor visits children with nut and peanut allergies each Halloween. On Halloween night, Mom and Dad would leave all the nut-tainted candy in a bag in the front hall, and the Great Pumpkin, pleased with this sacrifice, would leave a gift in its place.
A tradition was born, and it was a good thing, as Geneva and her younger sister Paris didn't eat their own weight in candy. Instead, they would receive a puzzle or a movie.
The Great Pumpkin, of course, grew fat at her desk at the office, which wasn't so good, but let's move along, shall we, to the year of the orange one's near miss ….
It was the Halloween of 2003, a brutally cold, wind-howling Canadian prairie evening in Saskatoon, with temperatures plunging to -25 degrees C (-13 degrees F).
Geneva was dressed as a punk rocker with fuzzy purple earmuffs to match her purple hair (it was just too cold to be cool), and Paris was dressed up as a leopard (basically a spotted snowsuit). My husband Bruce was dashing as a green-skinned demon with red horns.
I stayed home to dole out treats, while the kids and my husband headed out, returning after just 45 minutes with an astonishingly large bag of goodies.
We read all the labels, culled the offending candies and at the end, hung a hefty sack inside on the front doorknob for the Great Pumpkin. The kids trundled off to bed. And so did we.
In the morning, Geneva came bounding into our room in tears. "Mom, the Great Pumpkin didn't come last night!"
Ack! I knew I had forgotten something when I turned off the lights the night before. Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I tried to think quickly.
"Oh, dear. That's my fault, sweetie, I locked the door last night and … he couldn't get in. I usually leave the door open on Halloween so he can come inside."
Geneva looked crestfallen. By now her sister had also shuffled into our room. Geneva relayed the bad news. Paris's face fell.
"You know, I bet he left your present with our pumpkins on the front step," I said. "Why don't you girls go get dressed in some warm clothes and we'll go outside and look." The kids dashed to their rooms. "Wear lots and lots of clothes!" I yelled.
Next: By the skin of a pumpkin's teeth

Oct. 4, XB360/PS3/PC Last year's branding of Michael Jordan for the "NBA 2K" video game franchise was such a slam dunk, 2K Sports is bringing His Airness back and adding a handful of new basketball legends such as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. In the new "NBA's Greatest" mode, gamers will be able to control these iconic players and pit them against both classic and modern-day teams. The NBA lockout could mean that real basketball won't be played this season, but "2K12" should be ballin' enough to hold us over for awhile.

Paul McCartney To Perform At The Grammys
It seems Sir Paul McCartney has no intention of spending his 'golden years' on the front porch reminiscing about the old days. He's too busy looking at the road ahead. With a new album, 'Kisses On The Bottom', due out on Valentine's Day, word now comes that the man will be performing on this year's Grammy Awards broadcast, Feb. 12.
Sir Paul will be honored as the 2012 Musicares "Person of the Year" for his countless contributions to both music and philanthropy. In addition, his classic 1973 album, 'Band On The Run,' is nominated in the 'Best Historical Album' category. The album's title song previously won a Grammy in 1974 for 'Best Pop Vocal Performance By a Duo Or Group.' The landmark disc was given the deluxe re-issue treatment last year as part of an ongoing reissue series of McCartney's back catalog.
The Grammy Awards are certainly not new territory for Mr. McCartney to conquer. He already has 14 of them to his name, dating all the way back to 1965 when he was a member of some band called the Beatles.
Need we say, rock on Sir Paul!

Peek inside a professional organizer's Houston home
Used to purging and re-imagining space for paying clients, moving house offers a professional organizer in Houston a chance for his own clean slate
Jason Reeves was the kind of kid that lined up his toys by height and his stuffed animals by species. These days, he has a junk drawer in his kitchen, but he straightens it regularly. A lifetime of habitual neatness has led him to a career as a professional organizer, with his organization business, Oddly Organized, launching in 2012.
Born and raised in Gatesville, outside of Waco, Reeves headed to Los Angeles after graduating from the University of Texas. There he quickly moved up in the world of reality television, working as a producer on shows like "For Better or For Worse" and "Hardcore Pawn" before growing disillusioned with the genre and heading back to Texas to find a new career.
Even organizing professionals can be challenged by big projects, though, and there aren't many bigger projects than moving to a new home. That's what Reeves faced in the fall of 2013 when a whirlwind house hunt with his partner, public relations agency owner Mark Sullivan, meant packing up the high-rise apartment they shared downtown in favor of a contemporary, three-story townhome in East Montrose.
"It was actually great for me because, organizationally speaking, I used it as a test case for how I can help people move. The last couple of weeks, I started organizing and packing up everything by room, where I knew it was going to go in the new house, and I would come over while we were still living in the apartment and put things away," said Reeves.
"I didn't want it to feel sad at the apartment, so I would leave a skeleton set of things we needed in the kitchen, for example, and then (go to the new house) and completely set up the cabinets with dishes, glasses, pots and pans. We still had all the furniture and a few decorations, but if you opened the closet doors and cabinets there was nothing there. All of the work was done ahead of time so by the actual moving date all of our stuff was already there. All we had to do was arrange furniture."
A new, larger house meant virgin spaces ready to be arranged and categorized to his heart's content. In no room is this more clear than in the master closet. Shelves are split between stacks of neatly folded sweaters and plastic bins holding shoes, stacked three high with labels impressively identifying them by color, brand and style (loafers, preppy, tuxedo, etc.).
On the other side of the closet, button-up shirts are organized by color and season, with short-sleeved and other casual shirts banished to the lower rail. Ties, also arranged by color, are hung flat against one of the walls so that they can be seen easier than if they were hung on one of the shirt racks. Other accessories have their own space as well, with baskets dedicated to sunglasses and pocket squares.
"Starting with a totally empty space is my favorite part. Even when I go to clients, I tend to pull everything out and start from scratch. In a kitchen there's a logical way everything should be placed to flow efficiently. I like my glasses near the refrigerator and my dishes near the cooking area. It's all based on how you function," said Reeves.
"It's the same with a closet. It saves you time in the morning if you know that work clothes are in this section and something casual for the weekend is going to be over here. Then I like to color coordinate because its pleasing to the eye as well as being useful. When I'm organizing a closet I'm always finding something that the client thought was long gone or that they forgot they had, just by laying out and maximizing the space."
Reeves said one of the biggest mistakes that homeowners make when it comes to organization is relying on the existing storage solutions inside the home rather than finding ways to make more efficient use of the space.
"The Container Store is your friend!" said Reeves, who has finished rooms for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and who hopes to one day have his own line of colorful organizing products.
For his part, Reeves stocks his home with boxes, trays and other receptacles. A Lucite container on the master bathroom counter corrals products so that they don't end up taking over the whole console, and tiny wooden risers in the medicine cabinet allow every bottle and tube to be easily visible.
Downstairs a ceramic tray in the kitchen is an obvious spot for keys, wallets and other pocket ephemera, while a tiny candy bowl on the red chinoiserie-inspired console in the living room adds a little frivolity next to the elegant curves of the vase and lamp that flank it.
"The thing about me," said Reeves, "is that I never stop thinking about where things should go, if there's a better place to store things, what layout makes the most sense."

CULVER CITY — It's good to be the king.
After listening to Andrew Sanchez promising he was going to knock him out, "King" Kevin Casey turned the tables at RFA 15 by registering a first-round knockout victory to win the first RFA middleweight title Friday night at Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
"I feel amazing. A lot of hard work went into this camp," said the Los Angeles fighter, who engaged in a lot of trash-talking with Sanchez leading up to the fight. "I made so many sacrifices to get this belt. I took this very seriously without taking it personal. It feels great to get this on my resume now."
Casey (8-3), who had won his last bout with an impressive ground-and-pound TKO of Eddie Mendez at RFA 12 in January, never even got this fight to the mat.
The Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt, who trains at Black House MMA gym, stunned Sanchez (5-2) with a left and followed with another. Sanchez was wobbled and appeared to be slowly crumbling when Casey tagged him with a right. Sanchez hit the canvas and Casey pounced with two more shots for good measure before the referee jumped in to stop it at 2:30 of the first round
"I can't even really describe the feeling that I felt when I saw him drop and I knew I was gonna get those other shots in before the ref could grab me," Casey said. "I was definitely hyped about that and just very happy."
In the co-main event, Alan Jouban and Ricky Legere Jr. engaged in an entertaining, back-and-forth welterweight battle before Jouban pulled out a split-decision victory.
The judges scored it 28-29, 29-28, 29-28 for the Los Angeles fighter.
"Alan showed a lot of heart and same with Ricky Legere, man," RFA president Ed Soares said. "Both those guys to me, that was a great fight. That could be up for Fight of the Night for sure."
The second round might have been the best five minutes of the entire night. Legere found his way to Jouban's back and sunk in a neck crank before switching to full mount. After delivering some punishment, Legere returned to Jouban's back and secured a standing rear-naked choke. Not only did Jouban find a way to persevere, he shook off Legere and landed in his guard, dropping damaging elbows before the horn sounded.
In the decisive third round, Jouban (9-2) took a big breath with 3:30 left and went to work. Over a minute later, he landed two big head kicks, and with a minute left, shook Legere (18-5) with a left-right combination.
Fellow Black House fighter James Moontasri might have had the night's highlight knockout when, several seconds after staggering Jordan Rinaldi with a left hook, he caught Rinaldi coming in with a perfectly timed right. The short uppercut was on the button and Rinaldi appeared out on his feet before falling backward. Fortunately, the referee jumped in quickly to end the fight at 1:14 of the second round.
"I knew I had stunned him earlier in the round but I didn't want to waste my energy. I didn't want to really force the knockout too much," Moontasri said. "I knew if I stayed patient, I knew that eventually I was going to be able to time him. It's just something I've trained for thousands and thousands of times in the gym."
Rinaldi was out for several minutes and eventually came to and was communicating with the medical staff, but was strapped to a stretcher and taken to an ambulance. Soares said he didn't know where Rinaldi was taken or his condition.
Joseph Rinaldi tweeted that his brother was awake and had a possible concussion, then updated it to say the CT scan came back negative and he was was soon being discharged from the hospital.
In the oddest fight of the night, Sam Toomer remained unbeaten after referee MIke Beltran disqualified Daniel Aguiar for refusing to engage at 4:25 of the third round.
The taller Toomer (8-0), using his reach and speed, smartly circled away from Aguiar and peppered him with punches throughout the fight. Aguiar, meanwhile, couldn't get inside and his attempts to shoot and take Toomer down were thwarted.
Late in the first round, Aguiar began to try to pull guard in an effort to get Toomer to play to his strength. When Toomer refused, Aguiar became even more desperate and obvious as the fight went on. While some leg kicks did trip him up, Aguiar also did some acting and went down on his own in hopes of getting Toomer to follow him.
Pretty soon, Aguiar was simply dropping to the mat and scooting on his butt toward Toomer, but the San Diego featherweight wouldn't bite. Beltran eventually warned Aguiar (10-4) in the third round, then later took a point away. Finally, with the crowd booing Aguiar's blatant flopping, Beltran had seen enough and waved off the fight, disqualifying Aguiar at 4:25 of the final round.
In an entertaining featherweight fight with nonstop action, Chinzo Machida (3-2) earned a unanimous-decision victory over a game Dmitry Gerasimov (3-2).
Justin Jones opened the main card with a stunning upset of John Hackleman Jr. Jones (3-0) connected early on two major blows, both putting Hackleman on his wallet. When Hackleman (2-1) tried to sit up and rise against the cage after the second knockdown, Jones clamped on a guillotine choke, getting the tapout victory in just 2:01.
Featherweight Justin Linn (6-1) defeated Altair Alencar after Alencar (7-2) suffered a left knee injury midway through the first round in the final bout on the prelim card.
In the only women's fight on the card, 105-pounder Rosa Acevedo (2-1) overcame a rocky first round for a unanimous-decision victory over Kyra Batara (1-1).
Khalil Rountree won his pro debut with a 30-27 unanimous-decision light heavyweight victory over Livingston Lukow (1-1).
In the opening fight, Azor Emmanuel improved to 2-0 with a 30-27 featherweight victory over Armen Bakanyan (1-3).

On Super Bowl Sunday, Domino's Pizza is planning to deliver millions of pizzas (it estimates that a total of 11 million slices will be delivered) and 2.5 million chicken wings. According to Domino's execs, the national game day gorge has become more than just a manner of beefing up on drivers, dough tossers, and yes, beef -- it's also quite an undertaking in the information technology department.
According to the Michigan-based company, a third of Domino's orders come though a digital channel these days, and of course even the analog orders run through the corporate network. In 2007, for the first time, Domino's saw the need to put together a game day "defense" team on Big Game day to sit in a conference room and keep an eye on all the information systems.
That first year it was four people making sure Americans got the fuel they needed for their calorie- and beer-filled annual rite of senselessly shouting at a screen. (For the record for all future judgmental-type anthropologists, I feel no shame over the tear I shed when John Elway made that helicopter dive toward the end zone on a fateful day in January of 1998.)
Six years, millions of pizzas, and one iPhone and Android-powered smartphone revolution later, that team in a conference room in Ann Arbor now numbers more than 50 and the operation resembles something more like a NASA launch.
"It's all hands on deck," Lance Shinabarger, Domino's vice president for IT infrastructure and security tells me. "We have network operations, server administrators, network engineers, site reliability engineers, front-end developers, back-end developers, director of infrastructure, director of development, VP of global infrastructure, VP of online ordering development, VP of store operations, VP of POS development, CIO, and guest star appearances by both our CFO and CEO (all in the room)."
Just a few of the litany of items that the pizza mission control will be focusing on:
Hardware utilization (servers, firewalls, load balancer, routers, etc.)
Bandwidth utilization
Hardware failure
Application health
User experience degradation
Site response times
Security events
Social-media monitoring
Tradition holds that some of those highest-ups aren't actually there to bark out orders as chaos descends upon Domino's servers in the lead-up to kickoff. Last year the information system vice presidents and directors worked in the Domino's test kitchen making dozens of pizzas and wings for the crew.
Domino's representatives told me that preparation for this day actually begins as early as July or August. Load testing and other practice runs are just a few of the ways the team gets ready for a 300 percent spike in inbound traffic to the Domino's system just before kickoff. By the time most of those meals have been delivered, it starts all over again with another, smaller spike in orders at halftime.
"Normally you spread that order load over a four- or five-hour window, but during Super Bowl, it's those two peaks that you spend the entire year preparing for," Shinabarger explains.
Super Bowl XLVII might not be over yet (although the season was over for me when the Broncos lost in the divisional playoff round), but I'm already prepared to vote for MVP the network engineer who helps enable the delivery of millions of pizza pies in a span of just a few hours.
All Marvel franchises ranked, from Avengers to Daredevil: How do the X-Men movies stack up to Iron Man, Spider-Man and *shudder* Ghost Rider? Just so happens we made a list.

Obama sending Holder to Ferguson
President Barack Obama announced Monday that Attorney General Eric Holder will travel to Ferguson, Missouri, on Wednesday, while also calling for an end to unrest in the town.
The president said Holder's visit would include meeting with investigators and other leaders of the community. In addition to meeting with Holder, Obama said he also spoke to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon as well as Missouri Sens. Roy Blunt and Claire McCaskill.
Story Continued Below
"While I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns, and even attacking the police, only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos, it undermines, rather than advancing justice," Obama said a press conference Monday afternoon.
Obama, however, added that constitutional rights to speak freely, assemble and those of the press must be "vigilantly safeguarded … especially in moments like these" adding that "there's no excuse for excessive force by police."
( Also on POLITICO: Ferguson poll: Race gap on issues)
Of the situation, Obama said Ferguson is "rightly hurting," but called once again for people to "seek some understanding rather than to simply holler at each other."
"Let's seek to heal, rather than to wound each other," the president said.
"I've said this before, in too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. In too many communities, too many men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear," Obama said, before pointing to his own initiative, My Brother's Keeper, which he said is already making significant progress.
In his own statement Monday afternoon Holder asked for the public's patience as the agency investigates Brown's death, but took aim at the process so far.
( Also on POLITICO: Ron Paul: Local police not 'warriors')
"The selective release of sensitive information that we have seen in this case so far is troubling to me," Holder said.
Both Blunt and McCaskill said they will join Holder in Ferguson on Wednesday.
Speaking after Obama, Nixon in an interview with CNN said he appreciated the president and Holder's efforts, but acknowledged the continued tensions in his state.
"It was a hard night last night and we're hoping for a better night tonight," Nixon told CNN's Jake Tapper.
Holder met with Obama at the White House on Monday to discuss the situation in Ferguson after perhaps the most violent night of demonstrations since the fatal shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.
( Also on POLITICO: How the media found Ferguson)
Other Obama administration officials in the meeting included White House deputy chief of staff Anita Breckenridge, White House counsel Neil Eggleston and Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco, the report said.
Early Monday morning, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced he was deploying the state National Guard to Ferguson to address the "intensifying violent attacks" there. The Democratic governor's announcement came after increased tensions in the Missouri city following the release of the identity of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed Brown on Aug. 9, and the institution of a state of emergency and curfew over the weekend.
In a statement later Monday, the governor announced there would not be a curfew on Monday night and that the Guard would have a "limited mission."
"The Guard's immediate and limited responsibilities under the direction of Colonel Ron Replogle of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, are to provide protection, and ensure the safety of our Unified Command Center, which was the target last night of a coordinated attack," Nixon said in a statement. "The Guard will concentrate its resources on carrying out this limited mission."
The scene on Sunday was a marked contrast to the calm Thursday evening, when Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson presided over a night of peaceful protests, no arrests and a downsized, plainclothes police force. Sunday night marked the second evening of a state-imposed midnight-5 a.m. curfew, a decision Nixon said was necessary to prevent looters from doing more damage but that has received heavy criticism from many in the Ferguson community and elsewhere.
Police officials have acknowledged that officers fired several smoke canisters and at least one tear gas canister Sunday, and many of the hundreds of officers in Ferguson on Sunday evening appeared in riot gear. Police reported that they were responding to gunfire and Molotov cocktails being thrown from members of the crowd, but protesters said law enforcement acted without being provoked. Johnson of the Highway Patrol said one protester shot another and that the victim was listed in critical condition early Monday morning. He also said he was forced to "elevate the level" of police response after some crowd members threw bottles at officers.

WEST PALM BEACH | One of Florida's largest citrus growers has been fined after a state investigation found it illegally sprayed pesticide that caused the death of millions of honeybees.
WEST PALM BEACH | One of Florida's largest citrus growers has been fined after a state investigation found it illegally sprayed pesticide that caused the death of millions of honeybees.
For the last seven years, the nation's beekeepers have been plagued by a malady known as colony collapse disorder, in which bees disappear from their hives. Pesticides have been blamed as one of the causes.
The $1,500 state fine last week is believed to be the first time a Florida citrus grower was cited in connection with a bee kill.
Ben Hill Griffin Inc., headquartered in Frostproof, is so entwined with Florida culture that the University of Florida's football staduim is named for its founder. The citrus operation is run by the family's fourth generation.
Since at least 2006, beekeepers have argued that citrus growers have at times illegally sprayed pesticides to kill the Asian citrus psyllid, a tiny insect that spreads greening, a lethal and widespread citrus disease that is devastating groves. Bees have been killed along with psyllids.
A records check for the last 3 1/2 years indicates the state has not taken any previous action against citrus growers because it found no other documented pesticide misuse in reported bee kills, said Erin Gillespie, spokeswoman for the Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Department.
''The action against Ben Hill Griffin is the first case in that time period where a pesticide application by a grower was determined to be the cause of a bee kill," Gillespie said.
Kelly Friend, chief of the department's Bureau of Compliance Monitoring, said that when it comes to pesticides, what is stated on the label is the law. The maximum fine allowed by state law is $10,000 per occurrence, Friend said.
The fine can be less based on factors such as whether the violation was willful and the extent of harm caused, according to Florida Statute 487.
The state said in a complaint letter sent Aug. 21 to Steve Farr, vice president of Ben Hill Griffin's Grove division, that pesticide laws were violated on Feb. 21-22 and March 8 and 19.
Farr did not return calls or respond to an email. The company has 21 days to request an administrative appeal.
The investigation began March 19 after Crystal River-based beekeeper Randall Foti reported that millions of his bees as well as those owned by beekeeper Barry Hart of Fargo, Ga., were dead due to at least a dozen aerial pesticide sprayings in the groves. Foti reported that he saw empty containers of the Montana 2F insecticide in a burn pile in the grove.
On Monday, Foti, a beekeeper for 42 years, said that due to the bee kills, his bee colonies produced only 200 drums of orange honey this past season, instead of the usual 400 drums, resulting in $240,000 in honey loses alone.
''Every four days, they were spraying seven or eight different types of chemicals. A $1,500 fine is not much of a deterrent," Foti said.
Yet another meeting among beekeepers, citrus growers and regulators is planned for September to figure out how to improve communication.
In the first incident a pesticide handler employed by the citrus grower sprayed Delegate WG Insecticide before 7 a.m. when bees are foraging, a violation of the label restriction, the complaint alleges.
The second violation stems from applications of the Montana 2F insecticide to the roots of a total of 50 acres of young citrus trees to control psyllids. During those treatments, bees were exposed to direct application of Imidacloprid, the active ingredient in Montana 2F. Imidacloprid is a systemic pesticide that spreads throughout the tree.
Samples of dead bees, honey and honeycomb taken from one of the hives tested positive for Imidacloprid, the complaint says.
Hart said Monday millions of his bees died in the grove because of the pesticides. He estimates his losses at about $150,000. Some of his bees were still alive but began to decline once he returned to Georgia.
''I have to go back down there and make a living. Forty percent of my income is from orange honey, gallberry and Brazilian pepper honey," said Hart who has been a beekeeper for 28 years.
While Hart asserts that "$1,500 ain't nothing to the grove people," he thinks the state's action sends a message that regulators are watching.
''This could have been the best thing to happen," Hart said. "They have to make a living with citrus. I have to make a living with my honey. It boils down to the label is the law."

Some notes from this year's Thanksgiving festivities.
Regarding the Turkey, for the last couple years I bought heritage breed turkeys. While these were tasty, I found the cost/benefit for them didn't really work out. They are very, very expensive for a Turkey that pretty much tastes like any other Turkey. So this year, I went with an Organic, free range, plain old, Willie Bird from Santa Rosa.
For all of my adult life, I have approached the turkey by separating the leg/thigh half from the breast and cooking them separately, a trick I learned from Julia Child's The Way To Cook. For some, I guess there is a little disappointment in not presenting a whole bird to the table, but for me the benefit of being able to cook the dark and white meat separately has always outweighed that. It also significantly reduces the cooking time of both halves.
However, this year I took this a step further. Mrs. Flannestad found a recipe in Parade Magazine, of all places, from Mr Mario Batali:
Tacchino Ripieno — for non-Italians, that means turkey stuffed with chestnuts and prunes — is chef Mario Batali's favorite way to cook turkey because, he says, it never comes out dry. It features a crisp-well-seasoned skin, can be baked in an hour, and may be cut straight through, just like a regular roast.
Turkey Breast stuffed with Prunes, Chestnuts, and pancetta! How could we NOT make this recipe?
I more or less followed the recipe, though I did buy a whole turkey and bone it out myself. What can I say, I like dark meat.
I found I really only needed about half the amount of stuffing which the recipe made. I also didn't quite pay attention, that Mr Batali instructs you to separate the two breast lobes and stuff them separately. Stuffing the whole breast added a little time to the roasting. One big advantage to this recipe, is you can use most of the bones and giblets to make turkey stock before thanksgiving day and have it ready to go for gravy.
For the Leg/Thighs, I took out the thigh bones and cured them overnight in a mix of sugar, salt, and ground porcini mushrooms. Then the next day, I stuffed the thigh cavities with some of the prune stuffing and tied them up.
For dressing, I bought a rustic sourdough loaf a couple days before and cut it into cubes. I sauteed maitake and cremini mushrooms and also some mirepoix. Then mixed them with the cubed bread, moistened with stock and cooked the leg/thighs on top of the dressing.
This year's pie came from Alton Brown: Sweet Potato Pie with Pecans The only liberty I took with Alton's recipe was roasting the sweet potatoes and to use Goat Yoghurt, instead of cow.
Strange, how dogs seem more attracted to raw Turkey than cooked…

LondonLogo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 141 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
We are loooking for a logo that can be used on the shop-front, the stationery and for general branding. The branding has to be clear and bold enough to be read by fast-moving traffic but also needs to be distinctive and modern (but looking like an established, traditional company)
HART ESTATE AGENTS (http://www.hartestate.co.uk)
Hart Estate Agents was set up in 1954 in West London, UK. We are a real estate company who have been selling and renting houses in the area. Many of our customers are 40+ and have known Hart for most of their lives. Their houses are their biggest asset, so the image needs to be progressive and modern, but cannot alienate our older, more established clients. You will see on our website that the current logo is very dated and no longer looks slick enough.
The benchmark or market leader is Foxtons (foxtons.co.uk) and kfh and faron sutaria to give you an idea of our peers
- Yellow is the colour associated with our brand - we are verging towards a lemon yellow background with black writing. We need to maintain something close to this color scheme for continutiy purposes BUT WE ARE OPEN TO VARIATIONS / SUGGESTIONS THE TEXT DOES NOT NEED TO STAY BLACK NECESSARILY.
- The logo needs to contain the following names / words: "HART"; "Estate Agents"; "Est. 1954"
- If possible, please provide a variation of the logo with the words "Sales & Lettings" instead of "Estate Agents"
- The logo needs to be bold enough to be read by fast-moving traffic on the road-side
- The logo needs to exude a sense of stability and TRUST
- HART needs to be the largest element in the logo
- The logo needs to work on shop-front signs, stationery and cars (the cars will be sign-written too!)
- Too much shading / graduating
- No color schemes which will look faded on the actual shop signs or on the "FOR SALE" boards next to the properties
- No catchprases - just the logo
- No purple / magenta colours on the logo
- "HART" cannot all be in lower-case.
- The logo needs to be transferrable to "FOR SALE" signs, letters, cards, etc.

At the end of the first class they suggested it would be cool if I were to come to their home to take a look at the contents of their wine cellar and come up with a wine tasting for their friends that would be informative and fun.

Stand Your Ground And The Zimmerman Defense
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
Media figures are falsely claiming that Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law played no role in the trial of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin.
In the wake of Zimmerman's March 2012 killing of Martin, media attention turned to the role of Florida's "Stand Your Ground" (also known as "Shoot First" or "Kill at Will" statute). That law allows a person who believes his life or safety is in danger to use deadly force in self-defense without being required to retreat as long as they are not engaged in illegality and are attacked in a place they have a right to be.The law also allows for a defendant to seek an expedited pretrial hearing on those grounds, and grants people who kill in self-defense immunity from civil lawsuits.
The statute was drafted with the help of the National Rifle Association. After Florida passed the law in 2005, it was adopted as model legislation by the American Legislative Exchange Council and nearly two dozen states passed similar legislation. Such laws have been found to increase the rate of homicide and have a racially disproportionate impact on black victims.
After Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder in the death of Martin, gun violence prevention advocates again highlighted the role of Florida's self-defense law. But some in the media, due to a misunderstanding of the statute's breadth, have falsely claimed that the law played no role in the trial.
On the July 15 edition of CNN's New Day, co-hosts Chris Cuomo and Kate Bolduan agreed that the law played no role in the case.
In fact, Florida's self-defense laws set the framework by which Zimmerman was tried, setting the standard by which the jury would have to determine if Martin's death resulted from the justifiable use of force. Indeed, the jury instructions in the case specifically mention that "If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in anyplace where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground" and use deadly force.
From the instructions
In deciding whether George Zimmerman was justified in the use of deadly force, you must judge him by the circumstances by which he was surrounded at the time the force was used. The danger facing George Zimmerman need not have been actual; however, to justify the use of deadly force, the appearance of danger must have been so real that a reasonably cautious and prudent person under the same circumstances would have believed that the danger could be avoided only through the use of that force. Based upon appearances, George Zimmerman must have actually believed that the danger was real.
If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in anyplace where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
Former State Sen. Dan Gelber, who was a leading opponent of Stand Your Ground's enactment, noted on his blog that those instructions differed widely from the instruction that would have been read to a jury before that law took effect. At that time, jury instructions would have stated:
"The defendant cannot justify the use of force likely to cause death or great bodily harm unless he used every reasonable means within his power and consistent with his own safety to avoid the danger before resorting to that force.
The fact that the defendant was wrongfully attacked cannot justify his use of force likely to cause death or great bodily harm if by retreating he could have avoided the need to use that force."
Florida's Stand Your Ground law also had ramifications on the case before the trial began and will continue now that it has concluded.
Shortly after Martin's killing began receiving media attention in March 2012, in part because Zimmerman had not been arrested, Sanford's City Manager issued a statement claiming that because Zimmerman had said he acted in self-defense when police questioned him at the scene, "law enforcement was PROHIBITED from making an arrest based on the facts and circumstances they had at the time" due to the state's self-defense law.
Additionally, Stand Your Ground will likely prevent Martin's family from seeking damages in a Florida civil lawsuit against Zimmerman. From The Wall Street Journal:
Attorneys for Mr. Martin's family said they are considering filing a civil lawsuit against Mr. Zimmerman, though they haven't made a decision. "We're still trying to make sense of the verdict in the criminal case," said Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the family. "We'll be talking about our options going forward in the coming days."
Such a case would face high hurdles, legal observers say. Mr. Zimmerman can seek immunity from civil lawsuits under Florida's so-called Stand Your Ground law--something his attorney said he planned to do. "In effect, there will be no civil suits," said Tamara Lave, a University of Miami law professor. "If there is a civil suit filed, it will be dismissed, and future ones will be barred."

hvfischer needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 59 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
United States Veterans Association
The United States Veterans Association is creating a culture of inspired, educated and motivated veterans. Our mission is to become the prominent source for creating success and prosperity for veterans in their businesses and careers.
U.S. Military Veterans
Our organization in new and fresh and we're really looking for something contemporary and progressive that will attract younger military veterans under the age of 40, but still appeal to all veterans regardless of age.
We'd like to stay away from the traditional old style military look and feel with the flag and the red, white and blue colors, but we're still not sure about color scheme, so we are open to suggestion.
Here are a few ideas:
1. Incorporate shield or crest.
2. Make the V stands with the U & S on each side.
3. Other ideas where the V stands out.
