text: Power Hour: Hedge Funds Cut Bets to '09 Low March 11, 2013 09:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email March 11 (Bloomberg) -- Hedge funds cut bets on a commodity rally to a four-year low on signs of surplus supply in everything from coffee to zinc before Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said prices had fallen too far and investors should buy. Speculators reduced net-long positions across 18 U.S. futures and options in the week ended March 5 by 9.2 percent to 405,885 contracts, the lowest since March 2009, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. They are the most bearish on copper in four years, and are also betting on declines for coffee, hogs, sugar, soybean oil, wheat and natural gas. Commodities retreated 5.1 percent since reaching a four- month high Feb. 13, even as optimism about the global economy drove the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities to a 56-month peak. Supplies will outpace demand for 12 of 18 metals and agriculture goods, according to Barclays Plc and Rabobank International. Goldman raised its three-month outlook for raw materials to "overweight" from "neutral" on March 7, saying accelerating Chinese growth will support prices. "There is a disagreement about the extent of how much demand for commodities will rise based on growth," said Jack Ablin, who helps oversee about $66 billion of assets as chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank in Chicago. "Commodities became a victim of their own success as higher prices have created more supplies. People who have been looking for a vehicle that can generate income and keep pace with inflation have invested in equities." Trading Partners The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities climbed 1 percent last week. The MSCI equity index gained 1.8 percent, while the dollar rose 0.5 percent against six trading partners. Treasuries lost 0.9 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows. The GSCI gauge slid as much as 0.6 percent today. The raw-materials index rallied 85 percent in the four years to Dec. 31 as record global stimulus measures revived economies and sent prices of gold, corn, soybeans, copper and cotton to records. A weakening dollar also increased the appeal of commodities denominated in the currency. The dollar climbed 3.7 percent against six major trading partners this year, the best start since 2009. Investors pulled $4.66 billion from commodities this year, according to EPFR Global, which tracks money flows. That compares with an inflow of $5.05 billion a year earlier, the researcher said. Commodity assets under management totaled $430 billion in January, from a record $451 billion in April, data from Barclays show. Supply Gains Funds are dumping commodities as increasing supply outweighs the improving economic outlook that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record high last week. The 120-day correlation between the S&P GSCI and the MSCI All-Country World Index has weakened to 0.47, from 0.72 in June, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Crude-oil stockpiles in the U.S., the biggest consumer, are at the highest level since the end of June, a government report showed March 6. Copper supplies monitored by exchanges in New York, London and Shanghai have jumped to the highest since December 2003. Global inventories of wheat and soybeans will be higher than forecast a month earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said March 8. The slump in raw materials is "overdone" and prices will rebound in the next three months as China's economy accelerates, Jeffrey Currie, Goldman's head of commodities research in New York, said in the March 7 report. Copper will increase 16 percent to $9,000 a metric ton in six months, the bank said. China GDP China maintained its expansion target at 7.5 percent for 2013 and spending will rise to "maintain support for economic growth," Premier Wen Jiabao said March 5. The country plans to open 5,200 kilometers (3,232 miles) of new railway lines and build 80,000 kilometers of highways, a report from the National Development and Reform Commission showed the same day. Urbanization will boost the nation's metals demand, Jiangxi Copper Co., China's largest producer, said last week. Payrolls in the U.S. rose 236,000 last month, Labor Department figures showed. The median forecast of 90 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected an advance of 165,000. The jobless rate dropped to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008. The U.S., the biggest economy, consumes the most corn and is the biggest metals user after China. Build Positions "We do see demand coming back for commodities as the U.S., China and other emerging markets are showing signs of acceleration," said Rob Haworth, a senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle, which oversees about $110 billion of assets. "This is a good time to build commodity positions as a demand boost may help perk up prices." Fund managers pulled $990 million from commodity funds in the week to March 6, according to Cameron Brandt, the director of research for Cambridge, Massachusetts-based EPFR. Outflows from gold and precious-metals funds totaled $1.12 billion, he said. Holdings in exchange-traded products backed by gold contracted a record 106.2 tons last month, and another 21.9 tons in March, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Bets on declining copper prices more than doubled to a net- short position of 16,391 futures and options, the CFTC data show. That's the most negative outlook since March 2009. Traders are the most bullish in five weeks, with 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expecting prices to rise this week. Four forecast declines and three were neutral, the highest proportion of bulls since Feb. 1. Metal Stockpiles China's inventories of steel reinforcement-bar jumped 86 percent this year, according to data from Shanghai Steelhome Information. The country's copper imports tumbled 38 percent from a year earlier to 298,102 tons in February, the lowest in 20 months, custom figures showed March 8. Global supplies of the metal will outpace demand by 56,000 tons this year, Barclays estimates. Zinc will have a surplus of 273,000 tons, and aluminum of 1.82 million tons, the bank forecasts. Bullish gold wagers dropped 27 percent to 39,631 futures and options, the lowest since July 2007, the CFTC data show. The holdings are down 61 percent this year. Those for silver tumbled 47 percent to 6,118 contracts, the biggest slump since June, and platinum wagers fell 8.7 percent to 30,705. Crude-oil wagers slid 4.4 percent to 167,498 contracts, the lowest since Jan. 1. The net-long position in heating oil tumbled 61 percent. Farm Bets A measure of speculative positions across 11 agricultural products from wheat to coffee to cattle fell 3.4 percent to 140,580, the lowest in almost four years. Wagers on a decline for coffee increased to 24,671 contracts, and were at a record bearish outlook of 28,454 in the week ended Feb. 19, the CFTC data show. Supply will outpace demand by 6.73 million bags this season, each weighing 60 kilograms, from a 1.08 million-bag shortfall in the previous season, Rabobank forecasts. "In the past couple of years everyone had been enthusiastic about commodities being the diversifying risk trade, and that seems to have changed," said Frances Hudson, who helps manage about $263.9 billion of assets as a strategist at Standard Life Investments in London. "Also, the dollar has been playing a huge role as it has jumped against other currencies. Investors have been disappointed by the broad commodity performance and have continued to withdraw." --With assistance from Nicholas Larkin in London.

6 Fun Ways to Pose for a Family Portrait
During the last holiday season, our family took this portrait while jumping on a trampoline. It seemed like a perfect setting and activity to portray the light-hearted way our family tries to approach life. Recently, it got me thinking about unique ways to document your family, and I rounded up some fun examples that you might be able to incorporate into your own photo sessions.
An unusual take on a family portrait can make your picture convey more than just an image. A different approach allows you to represent meaningful elements or a sense of your family's personality.
• Try an unusual activity: Here, we chose the trampoline. How about everyone playing miniature golf? Or a joint jump in the waves at the beach? Choose an activity that has meaning for your family or that represents your aesthetic. (Remarkably Domestic)
• Use unexpected props: I love this photo from Nina Matthews Photography. The rain initially seemed to pose a problem for the photo shoot, but then they decided to use it to their advantage. Not every family photo needs to feature faces; this one shows everyone's life stage while conveying a playful feeling.
• Try a different vantage point: Laurie Bailey from Laurie Bailey Photography takes amazing family portraits, and many of them use unique approaches. In this photo, the family on the beach isn't new, but we love how Laurie chose to take this photo at a distance, featuring more of the environment than the family. The result has much more emotional impact and a sense of atmosphere and represents the family as a single unit, instead of as a group of individuals.
• Choose a non-traditional venue: We love this photo from Karen Ard of a family inside their English, right-hand drive vintage Mini Cooper. Choosing a location that is unexpected yet has meaning for your family can make your photo more than just a record of what everyone looked like; it's a document of your family's history.
• Try a crazy pose: We've all taken group photos where you pose stoically and then the photographer says, "OK, everyone be crazy!" Often those crazy shots get relegated to the cutting room floor, so to speak, but with a little planning you can make your crazy shot the best one of the bunch. This photo from Kelsey J. Gibbs Photography makes a sweet statement that shows the parents as a couple as well as their fun-loving relationship with their kids.
• Focus on something other than a face: While the most traditional of the bunch, this photo of a family's feet offers another option for a portrait. We like that this one from Cherry Stem Photography skips the tired "bare feet on the bed" motif and shows the family in their shoes and out in the world. Consider featuring other body parts, too: hands, the back of heads, even a close up of eyes.
Have you taken any unique family portraits? Let us know your tips in the comments!

This picture was taken from the southern edge of South Deerfield's "common," a triangular-shaped patch of land formed by the intersection of Main Street, which extends north and south, and Sugarloaf Street, to the right. In the center, a trolley of the Greenfield and Deerfield Street Railway Company heads north, toward Old Deerfield. The use of the word "common" to describe this patch of land indicates an effort among villagers to beautify their lands, a movement that began in New England in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in 1853. By the 1880s, nearly every town had a village improvement society, and they worked to plant trees and create park-like atmospheres. Sometime after 1910, near the north end of the park the town erected a fountain, another part of this movement.

- Overview
Complete Heating and Cooling for Year‐Round Comfort and Energy Savings
The GSX140421, 3.5 Ton, 14 SEER, 42,000 BTU central air conditioning system will help reduce energy consumption throughout the life of the system. Goodman's SMARTCOIL™ 5mm tube condensing coil design optimizes the heat transfer ability of R‐410A refrigerant compared to standard 3/8"copper tubing. The coil is made of rifled refrigeration‐grade copper tubing and corrugated aluminum fins in a design that maximizes surface area. These high‐quality components together cool your home effectively.
Goodman GCVM971005CN variable‐speed, two‐stage 42,000 BTU gas furnace offers reliable performance and time‐tested durability. A quiet, four‐speed direct drive blower motor is coupled with a two‐stage gas valve that allows installer to turn on two‐stage operation with the flip of a dipswitch. Use with natural gas or add converter for use with propane, or LP.
GSX140421 | Outdoor Unit
The heart of the 3.5 Ton GSX140421 is the high efficiency Copeland® scroll compressor paired with Goodman's proprietary SMARTCOIL™. Together they maximize thermal heat transfer ability and reduce the amount of refrigerant needed. Additionally sound-dampening features help ensure that your cooling system doesn't interfere with a good night's sleep. The near-silent operation is owed to the condenser fan system, which includes a three-bladed fan encased in a heavy-gauge galvanized louvered cabinet with noise suppressing features.
- Save money and resources with SMARTCOIL™ 5mm copper tubing
- Weather resistant, attractive architectural gray finish on outdoor unit
- Pre-charged with chlorine-free R-410A refrigerant
CHPF4860D6 | Indoor Unit

Once it's running, you'll notice a reduction in your energy bill since 98 cents of every dollar you spend on heating will actually go toward warming your home.
Unlike a standard furnace, which vents leftover heat out of your home in the form of exhaust, the Goodman 98% AFUE GCVM971005CN multi‐speed furnace passes the exhaust through a secondary stainless steel heat exchanger to extract additional heat. That heat – up to 30% or more – which would have otherwise been wasted is circulated through your home by a dual‐speed induced draft blower.
Additionally, the multi‐speed ECM motor also keeps your home temperature steady and several low continuous fan speed options reduce sound and keeps air circulating throughout your home. The self‐diagnostic control board with fault code history helps maintain your investment for long‐lasting comfort. Ideal for installation in a closet, alcove, utility room, basement or attic.

Sebastian Partners with Designer Mara Hoffman
Sebastian Professional is partnering with fashion designer Mara Hoffman to create its next limited-edition designer gift set. Hoffman designed a printed scarf using the bold colors and graphic prints that have made her a celebrity favorite for Sebastian's Brazilian-inspired spring promotion. The scarf will be packaged with Sebastian Professional Volupt Shampoo and Conditioner and sold in a gift set exclusively available at Sebastian salons for $25 beginning April 2013.
The gift set complements Sebastian's new 'Urban Explorers' hair fashion collection, which features hairstyling looks and techniques inspired by the great fashion capitols of the world. Hoffman's colorful scarf design, modeled after her spring 2013 collection, celebrates the spirit of São Paolo, Brazil, one of the four cities that inspired the looks in Sebastian's Urban Explorers trend collection.
"This scarf is great for its versatility; it can be worn in multiple ways and is a fun way to incorporate a great print into any outfit," says Hoffman.
Sebastian Professional lead hair stylist Thomas Dunkin uses the scarf as a styling accessory. "This print is bold, beautiful and inspiring. Combine this with braids for a cool urban look or leave hair down and very natural, and tie the scarf in a bow at the crown for a more 50's vibe", says Dunkin. The scarf and product gift set includes more step-by-step styling tricks from Dunkin.
Sebastian Professional and Mara Hoffman's fashion and beauty partnership began at Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week, where the hair team, led by Dunkin, created crimped, textured looks for Hoffman's runway models. VisitSebastianprofessional.com.

The fifth annual Jeffrey M.Trent Lecture in Cancer Research was held on Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Presented by Eric S. Lander, Ph.D., founding director of the Broad Institute of M.I.T. and Harvard, the lecture was presented at Masur Auditorium, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Building 10 on the NIH campus.
Over the past 15 years, Dr. Lander and colleagues have developed many of the key tools and generated many of the key information resources of modern mammalian genomics. They have also applied these tools and data to pioneer new ways to understand the basis of disease. Their work includes mapping and sequencing of the human, mouse, and other genomes; understanding the functional elements encoded in genomes through cooperative analysis; understanding the genetic variation in the human population and its relationship to disease susceptibility; understanding the distinctive cellular signatures of diseases and of response to drugs; and understanding the mutations underlying cancer. They have also developed new analytical and laboratory techniques for genomics, which have been applied to a wide range of common diseases, including cancer, diabetes, inflammatory diseases and many other genetic illnesses.
Dr. Lander's Research Web page at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Dr. Trent was the National Human Genome Research Institute's (NHGRI) founding Scientific Director, serving in this role for more than nine years. His leadership and vision was instrumental in establishing NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research as one of the premier research programs in the world devoted to genetics and genomics. In recognition of his significant contributions to the research environment at NIH, NHGRI established the annual Jeffrey M. Trent Lecture in Cancer Research in 2003. This lecture is given by a prominent cancer researcher who brings the kind of energy, creativity and enthusiasm to cancer research that Dr. Trent has exemplified throughout his career.

As I promised, I already took a first look through my photos from Berlin. At the very first day I visited the "Tiergarten Berlin" (the zoo) and the nearby aquarium.
Knowing that you would prefer to see some of my medieval photos first, I decided to skip this day for now and to start with day 2 and my very first museum visit.
What shall I say – it was truly amazing! I already found some lovely medieval art at the very first museum I visited. I spend some hours looking through the medieval collection and took about 2.300 photos. Well, I admit that this count surprised me but I think it is not unusual for me… *lol*
I decided to start with a very lovely piece of medieval art on display in the very first museum I visited:
The "forgotten 14th century Queen from France"
Like always I walked through the medieval collection, looking at the museum information, taking photos and suddenly there she was, just looking at me.
A beautiful and delicate face, a severe but loving look – every inch exquisite and gorgeous. She looked truly like a queen and after a short look at the museum information I could say for sure that she was a "Royal Donatrix". She was indeed a 14th century queen from France.

Linux Kernel Devs: We Need New Blood
Get Off My Linux Lawn
Are Linux kernel developers getting too old?
The graying of the kernel could put Linux development at risk unless new blood is brought into the fold, some warned.
"Yes we're getting older and I think we're also getting more tired," Linux kernel developer Andrew Morton said. "Amongst individuals in the development community, I don't see the amount of same energy, enthusiasm and effort -- I'm afraid I often see people ducking work which they would have happily jumped into 10 years ago. So yes, we need new blood."
Morton added that in his view there are now a bunch of developers that have been very active for 10 or 15 years and they have a very highly specialized level of experience and understanding. He noted those experienced developers have the skills to integrate components of great complexity into Linux.
"So the people are getting more expert and the code which they are adding is more complex, which makes it harder for newcomers to reach the same level of productivity," Morton said. "That problem is becoming worse and worse as with the stuff we're putting in now, we would have run away from screaming 10 years ago."
Morton does have a solution for the problem. In his view, Linux kernel developers need to document the work that they do better. He wasn't talking about offline documentation, but rather documentation within the code itself.
According to kernel developer James Bottomley, two things carry development forward in open source. Enthusiasm from new developers is an important complement to the coding wisdom from people that have been working on the technology for years, he said. That the Linux community is getting older is a reflection of the fact that coding wisdom is increasing.
Encouraging Newcomers"As long as we are getting sufficient young blood coming up through the community, the graying of the Linux kernel will be a natural process until, frankly, people start dying," Bottomley said.
But some panelists argued against the concern that the Linux community isn't bringing in new developers.
Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman doesn't entirely agree with Morton's assessment. Kroah-Hartman is the co-author of the "Who Writes Linux" study, and has direct insight into where developers are coming from. Kroah-Hartman said that he has seen between 200 and 300 new developers per kernel release over the last several years.
"I don't know how old they are and I don't honestly care," Kroah-Hartman said. "I'm waiting for Baby Boomers to retire and look for a hobby -- and I'm seeing that happen. As long as the influx of new people is constant we'll be ok."
Actually working on the Linux kernel can also be a good route to landing a job. While some people might get started working on Linux as a hobby, many developers are currently paid to work on the kernel by corporations.
"If you show any experience or competency in kernel development you will be hired," Kroah-Hartman said. "There are a lot of companies that need kernel work and companies are hiring for kernel work. So if you do it as a hobby and you're offered to get paid, wouldn't you do that? I did and now I need a new hobby."

The Question: Eclipse - Nukes vs DoTs
As we all know Eclipse is a major part of Moonkin DPS. It is also very unpredictable, and impossible to fit into a nice rotation where all the buff's, cooldowns, and dot timers line up. It is inevitable that you will face a situation where your Eclipse has just procced, but your DoTs have only 5 seconds left on them.
What do you do in this situation? Do you spend a GCD and pressious Eclipse time on a spell that is unaffected by the buff, or do you continue to nuke and let your DoTs fall off?
It's a tough question, that I have changed my mind on a couple of times.
My Theory:
I've thought about this issue many times. A while ago I decided that the best course of action was to refresh DoTs if Eclipse had more then 4 or 5 seconds left on it, but skip the DoTs otherwise. My reasoning is fairly simple. When you ask a couple of questions.
What do you lose by casting a DoT when the Eclipse buff is up? - You lose a GCD that could have been used to cast a Nuke buffed by Eclipse.
What do you gain by casting a DoT when the Eclipse buff is up? - You gain the damage that the DoT will tick for until the end of the Eclipse buff.
When I asked myself these two questions I realized something. I'm not asking if I should cast a DoT. I'm asking when I should cast a DoT. The choice is do I cast it during Eclipse or right after Eclipse expires. I can extend this logic a littler further also. If I make this choice regarding the DoT, I'm making a similar choice about the Nuke. If I cast the DoT during Eclipse, I will be casting a Nuke right after Eclipse expires. If I skip the DoT during Eclipse, then I'm losing a Nuke after Eclipse expires because I need to refresh the DoT.
What I realized was that when I cast a DoT, I am not preventing a Nuke from being cast. However, I may be preventing a Nuke from being buffed by Eclipse. So, the question is which is more valuable: damage from increased DoT uptime or the addtional damage from an Eclipsed Nuke?
I won't detail the math but i will use a quick example to show you how I made my choice. On average my Wrath casts hit for 6377 damage without Eclipse. With Eclipse they hit for 9030 damage on average. There for I lose 2653 damage if a wrath cast is pushed out of the Eclipse buff by a DoT. My Insect Swarm ticks for 1280 damage on average. It would take roughly two ticks of IS to make up for the lost Eclipse damage. Since IS ticks every 2 seconds, if I had more then 2 seconds left on Eclipse then casting the DoT made more sense.
Obviously this is an over simplification of the issue. This is why I haven't published anything in the past regarding this question. Now SimulationCraft hs here to make me look like a genius or an idiot.
What SimulationCraft Says:
Once again I used my self as an example and I asked multiple questions. Here is the results from the first set.
|Never Skip
|Skip on Opposite
|Skip Always
Never Skip means that I refresh the DoT when ever it is down. Even if Eclipse is up with only a few seconds left.
Skip on Opposite means you refresh the DoT only to take advantage of Improved Insect Swarm. Therefore, if Lunar Eclipse is up you would refresh Moonfire but not Insect Swarm.
Skip Always means you skip both DoTs if either Eclipse buff is up.
As you can see from the table above, the results are leaning towards refreshing your DoTs instead of skipping them, but we have another question to ask. As I said before I will skip the refresh if I have only a few seconds left on Eclipse. Is that the right choice?
|Seconds Remaining
|1 sec
|2 sec
|3 sec
|4 sec
|5 sec
|6 sec
|7 sec
|8 sec
|9 sec
|10 sec
|11 sec
|12 sec
|13 sec
|14 sec
|15 sec
These results show that I can do slighly better DPS by skipping the DoTs whe I have 5 or few seconds left on Eclipse, but the DPS increase is very minor. Even if you start skipping your DoTs with 9 seconds left on Eclipse your only losing a tiny amount of DPS.
Well, the good news is I don't look like an idiot, but my method wasn't a huge success either. Skipping my DoTs with just a few seconds left on Eclipse did result in a slight DPS increase, but its not anything that will make or break our rotation.
The main conclusion I will draw from my tests is that the loss of DoT uptime is a bigger DPS loss then not having a nuke affected by Eclipse. If you skip your DoTs entirely while Eclipse is up it is roughly a 2.49% DPS loss.
Do It Yourself: If you would like to run this analysis for yourself. Here is how you do it.
Go download SimulationCraft from here.
SimulationCrafts GUI interface has gotten a lot better since I last posted on the tool. On the Import tab you can down load your toon from the Armory or WoWhead. Importing your profile will populate the Simulate tab with your script. The default setting is to always refresh DoTs.
To always skip DoTs replace the Moonfire and Insect Swarm lines with:
actions+=/moonfire,if=!ticking&!buff.lunar_eclipse.up&!buff.solar_eclipse.upTo skip DoTs when the Opposite buff is up change the lines to:
To skip DoTs when when there is only 4 seconds left on either Eclipse change the lines to:
Finally, I would like to say thanks to Dedmonwakeen and Starfox the Creater and Druid developer of SimulationCraft for walking me though some of the changes that needed to be made.

Minnesota Worker Hurt in Explosion at Wisconsin Golf Course
HUDSON, Wis. (AP) — Police in western Wisconsin say a Hudson Golf Course employee from Minnesota suffered severe head injuries when a 55-gallon drum exploded.
Hudson authorities say a UPS driver found Chad Wang of Spring Valley, Minn., semi-conscious on the floor Friday afternoon. The 35-year-old was lying in a pool of blood.
Police said Saturday the injury was apparently the result of an accidental explosion. They say Wang was using an acetylene torch to open the sealed drum, which had a small volume of oil inside. An explosion caused the lid to shoot upward and hit him in the head.
Authorities say Wang may have been on the floor for as long as several hours before he was found.
A message left at Regions Hospital inquiring about Wang's condition Saturday wasn't immediately returned.

Jon Stewart skewered Paul Ryan's obviously staged photo op Monday at an Ohio homeless shelter, where the Republican VP candidate washed dishes, already CLEAN dishes:
Someone really needed to say this (and say it just like this):
"Do you know how hard it is to make volunteering at a homeless shelter look like a negative thing?" Stewart said. "And how dead inside does a national presidential campaign make you that you could be handed clean dishes and instead of saying, 'Uh, you know these are clean right?' You go, 'Where's my scrubby sponge?'"
If Ryan intends to manipulate the public's emotions with staged photo opportunities, at least do it with a little "oomph," Stewart added. "Even if you don't really give a shit about the homeless, at least give a shit about making us think you give a shit. Don't phone in your cynicism."
One of the soup kitchen's volunteers, Juanita Sherba, told Youngstown's Viddy.com:
"It was the phoniest piece of baloney I've ever been associated with. In hindsight, I would have never let him in the door. They couldn't have cared less."
Sherba also said that Congressman Ryan seemed to no interest in talking to the homeless who depend on the shelter. Reporters were prevented from covering the exchange that Ryan had with a handful of homeless men outside of the facility.
What a nauseating little dingle-berry Paul Ryan truly is. Can you imagine if Ryan had shown up just a little earlier and he was obliged to sit down with the poors and EAT THEIR FOOD?
That would have been fuckin' COMEDY GOLD.

Harry Styles Serves as Best Man in Mom's Wedding
Harry Styles lurves his mum, Anne Cox. The One Direction hunk served as the best man at her wedding in Congleton in Chesire in the U.K. this past Saturday, June 1.
Hazza's mother, 43, married Robin Twist, the man who helped raise him after his parents split when he was just 7.
Styles was snazzy in his black suit, accessorized with his beautiful smile. He was clearly so happy that his mother and Twist were making it official. He cleans up nice, doesn't he? We don't love his smattering of tattoos, but we think he looks smashing here. It's easily one of Hazza's very best looks. His signature curls spill perfectly on his forehead, don't they?
Styles is said to have been looking after the rings, which is a very important job in a wedding. He also helped organize the ceremony and put it together. The location was kept classified to avoid Directioners finding out where it was scheduled to take place, since it was feared that they might try and crash the wedding, which is an intensely private affair.
Styles also posted a clip from the reception via Vine (which was later taken down), with the guests, including himself, noshing on cake. He labeled it with the "Chinching" hashtag -- it looks like the guests are bunching up their mouths and chins when eating and drinking, hence "chinching." We think...

codegorilla needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 124 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
I am a powerlifter/software developer and I'm looking to create a website that provides quick access to loading charts in either pounds or kilos. A loading chart is used as a quick lookup to ensure the correct plates are loaded on to the bar before the athlete lifts the weight. An example of a non-color coded kilo loading chart can be found here: http://www.ivanko.com/IPF-Plate-Loa…t-25kg.pdf
Our target audience consists of the following:
1. The competition directors, judges, platform managers, and spotter/loaders are in charge of running the meet and ensuring that the correct weight is loaded on the bar.
2. Athletes and coaches will use them in the warmup room and to double check the load outs on the platform before the athlete lifts.
3. Spectators will use a loading chart to tell what is on the bar.
I'm looking for something better than I can do with my lame photoshop skills. Please help! It doesn't need to be super fancy. I'm looking for something that would look good on a website/business card/banner/t-shirt/polo shirt.
No more than 4 colors, but if you have something compelling with more than that, let's check it out.
Please use the domain name in your design!
Here are some pictures of the competition plates we typically use.
Here are some of the major suppliers of competition weight sets:
If you would like to include a tagline, you can use the following:
'cause that sh*t ain't gonna load itself!
'cause that bar ain't gonna load itself!
Feel free to manipulate "sh*t" anyway you think looks good or replace it with what you deem appropriate. I would be interested in seeing a clean and dirty version of the logo.

Students present annual fashion show, redesign missionary home
Student models walked the runway at Liberty University's third annual Fashion Show on April 3, hosted by the Family and Consumer Sciences Department. With a "Garden Party" theme, the designs ranged from hand-made evening gowns to floral skirts and shirts.
Designers were required to create at least one garment, in line with the Liberty Way, depicting their interpretation of the theme. Designers included students majoring in fashion merchandising, business marketing, communications, math and biblical studies.
The show raised close to $2,700, which went toward paying for the redecoration of Thomas Road Baptist Church's (TRBC) Missionary Furlough Home (see story below).
A panel of judges critiqued the designs. Following a four-way tie, first place went to sophomore Carolyn Marcelo; second place went to senior Lesley Vannoy, and third place went to sophomore Hannah Swanson. Katie Fath received the People's Choice Award. Other designers included Isaiah Clemmons, Regina Eng, Amanda McKinney, Natalie Patino, Leslie Wood and Briana La'Cole Young.
Judges included Jessica Alexander, FACS Association's public relations officer; Justin Kintzel, band member of Liberty's Campus Praise Band; Sharon Wheeler, Liberty professor in the Department of Theatre Arts, and Erica Peak, communications director for J.Crew's Distribution and Call Center located in Lynchburg, Va.
Becki Falwell, Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr.'s wife, was the guest judge and tie-breaking vote.
"I really encouraged designers to design what they wanted and not to feel limited," said Erika Sheffer, vice president of the FACS Association.
"Each designer really enjoys creating garments. I really wanted it to be fun for them — something that they would want to do again."
Planning for the show began in August as Sheffer conducted a model casting of Liberty students who were interested in walking the runway for designers. About 100 people assisted in the production of the show including students in the FACS 351 Event Coordination class and FACS Association members.
Thomas Road Baptist Church's (TRBC) Missionary Furlough Home, located on Liberty Mountain, serves as a place for missionaries to stay, free of charge, while trying to raise money to continue God's call on their lives. The home was last furnished in the 1990s, and students from Liberty's Family and Consumer Sciences Department decided it could use a new look.
Lucky Billings, missions pastor for TRBC, offered the FACS Association a small budget to complete a makeover. About 30 student volunteers and a few parents helped with the project, according to FACS Association president Kelly Kingsley. Matalie Howard, Liberty FACS professor, said the team was able to renovate the house in four weeks for less than $1,500. An open house was held on March 26.
"The students and Matalie Howard have taken what was a jumbled bunch of donated furniture and turned it into something that our missionary's could call a home away from home," said Mary Simpson, FACS department chair.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Lindsay Bullock scored her 10th goal of the season in the 107th minute to give visiting Long Beach State a come-from-behind 2-1 double overtime win over UC Santa Barbara on Friday night. The win gives the 49ers the Big West regular season championship.
The Gauchos (11-6-1 overall, 4-2-1 in the Big West) led into the 89th minute before Long Beach (12-4-3 overall, 6-0-1 in the Big West) rallied to tie and then win.
The game-winning goal came when Kim Silos launched a corner kick from the left side. The ball eluded UCSB freshman goalkeeper Ali Cutler who was leaping to punch it out. Bullock came in just the right of center and punched the ball in at the 106:18 mark of the second overtime period.
The 49ers tied the score at 88:58 when Shawna Gordon blasted a pass from just outside the right hand side of the box. Cutler tried to get to the ball but it escaped her and landed in front of the left post where Kristen Kiefer scored on a low shot on the left side from about seven yards out.
The match was scoreless until the 71st minute when sophomore forward Kylie McDonald hit a long free kick from the near the left sideline. The ball bounced in front of the goal and sophomore forward Kailyn Kugler collected it and scored on a low shot into the left corner.
The contest was evenly played. Each team had 10 shots, but the Gauchos had seven on goal compared to four for the 49ers. Long Beach did have seven corner kicks while UCSB had none, and it was the seventh that proved to be the decider.
With the defeat and Cal Poly's 1-0 win over UC Irvine, the Gauchos have clinched a spot in the four-team Big West Tournament, but drop to third-place in the league. They will host the Anteaters on Sunday. If Santa Barbara defeats Irvine, and Long Beach beats or ties Cal Poly, then the Gauchos will finish second and host a first round match in the Big West Tournament on Thursday, Nov. 6. If they finish third or fourth, they would go on the road for the first round match.
Sunday's 5:00 p.m. match against UCI will be the final regular season home match for three UCSB seniors, defender Rachael Ritchey, midfielder Sami Svrcek, and forward Michelle Russell. Tickets for the game will be available at the Harder Stadium box office one hour before game time.

Once again one of Batman's most intelligent villains is reduced to a ravening juggernaut of destruction, as Bane makes a smashing appearance in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
He looks good and all, but I'm a bit tired of video game developers and Joel Schumacher using Bane as a mindless powerhouse enemy. He is a powerful guy, but the main aspect of the character that makes him such a thorn in Batman's side is the fact that he has the brains to go with the brawn. Hopefully there's more to Bane in the game than this. You can't just overdose him with venom, give him a pat on the head, and point him in Batman's direction like some attack dog.
Well I suppose you can, but be warned - we comic fans are going to whine about it on the internet.

Surgical Steel Fixed Bead Rings are wonderful if you have problems getting your beads to stay on your rings. The beads are fixed to one side of the ring so that you will not lose them. They are made from 316LVM Surgical Steel.
To change a Fixed Bead Ring all that you have to do is hold the ring on each side of the bead, pull it apart just a little then (still holding it the same way), twist the ring, in other words, turn your right hand clockwise, and your left hand counter clockwise. That will make it more like a spiral so that you can very easily insert it or take it out. It really is very easy, just make sure to not actually hold or put pressure on the bead itself, just the ring. Also if you would like you can also purchase the Ring Opening and Ring Closing Pliers that are made for this, which admittedly does make it much easier

Two-time Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda is all set to receive American Film Institute's lifetime achievement award, which is one of the highest honours in Hollywood. Chairperson of the AFI board, Howard Stringer said in a statement that the 75-year-old actress is American film royalty, the BBC reported.
Jane, who has recently been seen in HBO drama 'The Newsroom' and as Nancy Regan in 'Lee Daniels' The Butler', rose to fame in the 1960s with films including 'Period of Adjustment' and 'Walk on the Wild Side.'
She is also known for protesting against the war in Vietnam in the 1970s.
It is worth noting here that the actress' father Henry Fonda was also handed the AFI's highest honour in 1978.
The Fondas are the first father and daughter to both be recognised by the AFI.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter ... - Rev. MLK Jr.


text: The Thailand Tourism Awards is regarded a positive measure that helps promote the tourism industry. It helps ensure as well as increase credibility among both domestic and international tourists, and is also a major tool for Thailand's sustainable tourism development. These days, the Thai tourism industry is considered a model of quality assurance for worldwide tourism. To instill awareness and promote responsible management in tourism among tourism entrepreneurs, ultimately leading to sustainable tourism, the TAT initiated the Thailand Tourism Awards project for the first time in 1996, and has consistently organised the event every two years.

It's page 14, and I'm already deeply sucked into Ten Pounds of Gold, the wonderful historical book about the NWA World Championship title worn by the likes of Jack Brisco, Harley Race, Terry Funk and Ric Flair. Quite honestly, not being a belt mark, I didn't think a belt would hold my attention for an entire volume ... but it did, and then some.
In many ways, Ten Pounds of Gold, written by Dick Bourne with beltmaker Dave Millican, is a love letter to championship belts, ones that have deep meaning and stand for something. The belt doesn't spin or light up, but instead it represents greatness and the pinnacle on the professional wrestling profession.
How original.
How lamented.
The copy of Ten Pounds of Gold came into my hands through Millican, who I helped hook up with the original WWWF World title, which had been stashed in the late "Handsome" Johnny Barend's attic, wrapped in a towel. [See Original WWWF title found in attic.] I enjoyed my brief time holding the WWWF World title, in its purgatory between owners, and dreaming of the men who had worn it to the ring, especially strutting like "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers and being loved like the iconic Bruno Sammartino.
So I took home Ten Pounds of Gold on a real belt "high", and maybe that affected my thoughts when reading it. But maybe not.
It must be said that this is the "Revised & Expanded Second Edition," which follows the original publication of Ten Pounds of Gold in 2009, as a full-colour epic.
The newer version, streamlined and black and white, with some added material, is still pretty damn impressive. The very existence of the first edition really moots my major complaint about the second one -- that I wanted to see more of it in colour.
Ten Pounds of Gold takes readers from the early genesis of the belt, who created it (in Mexico), and when it came into the public's eye. It was surprising to learn about its twisted path through the years, the three versions of it that existed, primarily with the leather changing. There is a look at each and every man to have held the title.
The details you learn in its 150 or so pages are a fascinating, though all the answers to "why" aren't always there.
Or that the flag for Canada isn't the current Maple Leaf, but an earlier version with the Union Jack top left. Given that the belt was created at least seven years after Canada had adopted its red and white flag, it is certainly a puzzling aspect of history that the writers are unable to reveal completely.
While many men have held the belt, it is Harley Race and Ric Flair that stand above and beyond.
It is Flair that owns the actual title and allowed Bourne (who runs the Mid-Atlantic Gateway website with David Chappell) and Millican (who makes title belts -- DaveMillicanBelts.com) a day with the title belt, to go over and photograph each and every detail from multiple angles.
But it is Race's contributions of old photos and clippings that go above and beyond, really making Ten Pounds of Gold a wonderful side volume to his rather light autobiography, King of the Ring, which came out in 2004.
Would Jack Brisco and Shohei Baba have contributed as well had they still been around? I'd like to think so.
I'd also like to encourage fans old and new to check out Ten Pounds of Gold. The authors, using CreateASpace, have set the cost low ($12.95) for the Revised & Expanded Second Edition.
There's just so much history that has been captured in its pages that I am really in awe and appreciative of the authors' efforts.
I somehow doubt anyone will be doing anything similar in 2040 about the spinner WWE title.

As Leah Von Dutch counters the Stratusfaction and takes Trish Stratus out with the Flying Dutchman, the crowd goes wild. But just before the referee makes the count, Alysha Verhoevdn wakes up from her dream.
"I really started to get into wrestling once Trish Stratus debuted," said Von Dutch. "I've always been a fan. She's another Canadian, she's from Toronto and she's blonde, just like me."
While she will likely never face the retired Stratus in real life, Von Dutch is following a similar path, proving that dreams do have a way of coming true.
As a longtime wrestling fan from Strathroy, Ontario, Von Dutch came to an eventual realization that there is nothing that she would rather be doing. At that point, it was only a matter of making it happen.
"When I started taking an interest in wrestling, I actually didn't realize that there were so many indie promotions in Ontario," Von Dutch said. "I was going to university in Windsor, and Scott D'Amore had a school in the area, but I couldn't afford it at the time, because I was still a student."
Despite the financial setback, Von Dutch was still determined to be involved in the business in some capacity.
She was happy enough to volunteer her services as a ring announcer for Classic Championship Wrestling, in addition to several other non-wrestling duties. Around this time, Von Dutch briefly trained under Derek Wylde, but was unable to continue due to conflicting schedules.
Von Dutch eventually got paired with former TNA star Cody Deaner, as his valet. It was an unfamiliar role for her, but it became a great learning experience.
"As a valet, your job is to enhance the wrestler. You have to keep the focus on your wrestler," Von Dutch said. "Sometimes, I'd get involved in the match, because you basically just do whatever you need to do, to make sure that your guy wins."
Deaner certainly holds Von Dutch in the highest regard and looks back on his time with her quite fondly.
In a business like professional wrestling, it is equally important to be a great entertainer as it is to be a great wrestler. Some may argue that it's more important. In terms of being an entertainer, Von Dutch was able to pick up on certain things that Deaner would do, just by simply watching him.
"When I was a valet for Cody Deaner, I just loved the way he interacted with the fans, and made sure that everyone who bought a ticket got their money's worth," Von Dutch said.
Deaner always enjoyed having Von Dutch in his corner, and he was always willing to offer advice if she needed it.
"I liked her right away. I kind of just took things that I had been taught, and passed it on to her," Deaner said. "She'd usually come to me after the shows and ask about how she did, and I'd always turn it back to her and ask her how she thought she did. And the most important thing I'd ask her is if she learned anything. Then we'd go through what she learned. You can learn a lot more from a bad match than you can from a good match. I've always told her not to take herself too seriously, and not to be afraid to put herself out there. You can't be afraid of looking weak, which a lot of people don't understand. If you go out there and have fun, and enjoy what you do, you'll get noticed."
"In getting to meet them I could see some of them had the desire -- about three of them," said Edge. "But Leah, to me, seemed to have the best, most realistic, shot at making it. She seemed like she had a great attitude, and willingness to try and get in there to learn. She'd already been told no, been told no multiple times, but kept coming back. I respected that. She was already doing what she could to get experience valeting, or even just taking gear back. That told me she wanted it."
Von Dutch shared a little about the experience. "For the essay, I had to write about why I love pro wrestling," Von Dutch said. "On the day of the contest, I felt really confident that I'd win, just because I was already involved in the business, and when I was selected for a final interview, I noticed that the WWE camera was in there, but I don't remember it being there for anybody else's interview."
Von Dutch opened a lot of eyes that day, with her passionate introduction of herself. She certainly had everyone's attention that day, including The Score's Arda Ocal, who happened to be there as well.
"I was very impressed when I first met Alysha at Squared Circle. She was very positive, and was going around and shaking everyone's hand. I really like seeing stuff like that, because it shows that she's genuinely happy to be there," Ocal said. "I think it's a big positive that Edge actually selected her and has endorsed her. But I'm happy to see that she also doesn't have that attitude to think that she's already made it, because of that. She's worked very hard and is very respectful, which shows that she understands what people need to do to get noticed in this business."
"Alysha is always asking for advice on how to improve, which is also a good thing. If you ever stop learning in this business, then you might as well not be in it," Ocal said. "In promo class, the first thing I told them was that they needed to understand that the promos today are wildly different from previous generations. In today's promos, you don't get a lot of screaming and yelling. Instead, you're speaking to the camera and it's a lot more conversational. There are plenty of good speakers out there, but you also need to be aware of where and how to stand, and when you speak, you need to make sure that the person in the last row can understand what you're saying. In the WWE, they just give you a script and you read it, but at the indie level, a lot of those guys have to get over by themselves. And because there are no scripts in the indies, I wanted to make sure that these guys are prepared for that, and when they have to film interviews for DVDs."
When the field was narrowed down to just four contestants in the essay contest, Edge himself made the final choice, and when Von Dutch's name came out of his mouth, her facial expression told the entire story; she was smiling from ear to ear.
"I'd definitely say that Edge has helped me a lot. I always send him videos of my matches and ask for critiques. I really appreciate that he always goes out of his way to help me," Von Dutch said.
As someone who's had his own opportunity to work for a major promotion, Deaner couldn't be happier for his former prot�g�.
"When she won the essay contest, I told her to exploit the hell out of that opportunity," Deaner said. "Edge is a huge star. He's done everything you can possibly do in wrestling. So for him to actually put his stamp of approval on Alysha speaks volumes. The world needs to know that, and she needs to use that."
Of course, an opportunity is just an opportunity, unless it's followed up on. And Von Dutch certainly made the most of hers. She immediately began training at Squared Circle.
"There really was no typical day of training at Squared Circle. It depends on who was running the class," Von Dutch said. "We'd start with bumps and then eventually learn moves. One day, we'd just be learning pins. Then another day, it was suplexes, and another day it would be finishers. It was very intense, physical training. We'd usually start with 10 laps around the gym."
What Von Dutch has accomplished in the short amount of time that she's been in the business has been quite impressive. She only won the essay contest at Squared Circle a little over a year ago, and earlier this year, she made her CHIKARA debut against current WWE developmental trainer Sara Del Rey.
"Sara (Del Rey) is amazing. She really took me under her wing, and I think the CHIKARA matches I had with her really started getting me noticed," Von Dutch said. "Something just clicked for me, and Sara was super helpful. If I wasn't comfortable doing something, she wouldn't try to pressure me into it. She was really safe."
Since then, Von Dutch has had a rematch with Del Rey, but even that match was just the tip of the iceberg, compared to her next big step.
"The WWE was coming to Montreal and Ottawa, so I emailed Edge my second match with Sara and told him that I was looking for extra work," Von Dutch said. "I also called up the head office to get a tryout. You never know what they are looking for."
Von Dutch eventually did get that tryout, and has at least gotten herself noticed by WWE officials, which is always a good thing.
"To be invited to their (WWE) house show is one thing, but to be called up to developmental is completely different," Ocal said. "At least after having the tryout, Alysha is now on their radar. I think it's a big thing that they (WWE) now have Sara Del Rey as a developmental trainer. It definitely signals that there may be more emphasis placed on hiring female wrestlers. Alysha may be on the path a little longer than someone who's in her late teens, just like a 6'5" chiselled linebacker will be given a look sooner than a seasoned veteran, who's a little smaller. Alysha is very cheerful and easy to be around. And people will always want to work with people that they enjoy being around. She's (Alysha) always in a happy mood, and it spreads. She needs to get herself over in the indies, so that she can win over the hardcore fans. Once she gets to the point where people are talking about her, promoters will start to take notice."
Edge is decidedly on her side, as is a WWE Diva who recently departed the company.
"Now that she's had some training, she's trying to do it the old fashioned way, as much as that's possible now. Get booked wherever you can," praised Edge. "She's already been to Japan and gets booked against the Sara Del Reys of the world so she can learn and obviously because promoters must see something too. Thankfully, Beth [Phoenix] has taken her under her wing advice-wise, since as a male, there's things that I would never even think of to tell her or give her a heads up on. So that's helped the matuaration process too, I think. Still a ways to go experience wise, but she's trying and that's what I assumed she'd do. Like I told her the night of the contest, I hope she proves me right. We've opened the door a crack, now she has to kick it open herself."
While she continues to work as a research assistant during the day, Von Dutch has her sights set on a WWE contract.
"I want to eventually make it to the WWE and maybe become the next Trish or Lita; except I'll be the first Leah Von Dutch," she said. "They started wrestling for only a couple of minutes, but were eventually having these great, long matches."
It's clear at this point that the sky's the limit for Leah Von Dutch. She has already accomplished so much in the last 14 months, and if that is any indication, she may be a WWE Diva sooner rather than later.
Blaine van der Griend has never been prouder of his Dutch heritage...

Homestead Deduction and Senior Citizen or Disabled Property Owner Tax Relief:
This benefit reduces your real property
An application must be on file with the Office of Tax and Revenue;
The property must be occupied by the owner/applicant and contain no more than five dwelling units (including the unit occupied by the owner); and
The property must be the principal residence (domicile) of the owner/applicant.
If a properly completed and approved application is filed from October 1 to March 31, the property will receive the Homestead benefit for the entire tax year (and for all tax years in the future). If a properly completed and approved application is filed from April 1 to September 30, the property will receive one-half of the benefit reflected on the second-half tax bill (and full deductions for all tax years in the future).
Homestead Deduction application. [PDF]
Senior Citizen or Disabled Property Owner Tax Relief
When a property owner turns 65 years of age or older, or when he or she is disabled, he or she may file an application immediately for disabled or senior citizen property tax relief. This benefit reduces a qualified property owner's property tax by 50 percent. If the property owner lives in a cooperative housing association, the cooperative will supply and collect the applications. The following guidelines apply:
- The disabled or senior citizen must own 50 percent or more of the property or cooperative unit;
- The total TY 2017 federal adjusted gross income of everyone living in the property or cooperative unit, excluding tenants, must be less than $133,100 for the 2019 calendar year; and
- The same requirements for application, occupancy, ownership, principal residence (domicile), number of dwelling units, cooperative housing associations and revocable trusts apply as in the homestead deduction.
Tax Deferral For Low-Income Senior Property Owners And Low-Income Property Owners
Effective October 1, 2014, low-income seniors may defer real property taxes, past due and prospective, at either 6% interest or no interest, depending upon age, income and length of residency. OTR has devised a form with which the senior must apply.
- Application For Tax Deferral For Low-Income Senior Property Owners And Low-Income Property Owners
- FP-100 Homestead Deduction, Senior Citizen, and Disabled Property Tax Relief Application/Reconfirmation

As soon as I got back home I googled PLP and filled the form requesting more information. I invited some colleagues to attend a virtual session with Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, and at that moment we knew that we really wanted to join .
We formed a school team with Michelle from Upper Elementary, Emma and Sherie from Middle School, and Dave from Upper School. At our first face-to-face meeting we registered as members of a Ning and created our profiles. When we came back to school after the kick-off event, we were inspired to make the most of our PLP adventure.
Truth is, there was a little catch in our decision to join PLP. A year ago we had an accreditation visit, and the first item in the report concerning technology said, "The School should look into providing leadership for academic technology. This leadership can explore ways to develop and implement a school wide vision for academic technology, investigate professional development opportunities for both academic technology and all other classroom teachers." As a first step, I was appointed Academic Technology Coordinator to lead the school in addressing the accreditation report. Big task! I started gathering resources to create a LoTI survey that was completed by faculty in all divisions. After analyzing the data I knew I was going to need more guidance than just relying on my searching abilities!
PLP has opened my eyes to a world of possibilities. All of a sudden I am supported not only by the top leaders in education, but also by a group of colleagues that are walking the same path and have the same expectations and concerns that I have.
My professional growth has been amazing to me. Through virtual sessions and ongoing conversations I now have a deeper understanding of 21st century teaching and learning. I have learned how to use several digital tools and, most importantly, I have expanded my learning network. On July 1st I joined Twitter, and as of this morning, I have over 300 followers. By the end of September I had created this blog, and in November all of my Honors Physics students had their own active blogs!
The professional development plan that I originally crafted back in November has been transformed into a well-defined program that already has had a tremendous impact in the school. All we had to do was to dig deeper into the myriad of resources received through PLP.
With creativity, passion and collegiality our team and technology instructors have been very successful in motivating and supporting our colleagues as they implement changes. After the culminating event this past Monday, we have renewed our commitment to move our school not only to address all of the accreditation report recommendations but much, much farther!
As I reflect on these past months, I'm reminded of Newton(*) when he wrote "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants." I say this because one thing is clear: we wouldn't be where we are, without having joined PLP!
Here is our PLP Project Presentation:

The Cincinnati Bengals have not signed a franchise-tagged player to a contract extension since giving running back Rudi Johnson one in 2005. That streak figures to continue for at least another year.
The deadline to sign franchise players to long-term deals is just one week away, and "all indications" are that the Bengals will allow defensive end Michael Johnson to play under the tag this season, according to Joe Reedy of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Johnson's $11.175 million salary would set the franchise's unofficial record for highest one-year base in a single season.
Three of the last four players tagged by the Bengals (Justin Smith, Stacy Andrews and Shayne Graham) left via free agency the following season. Johnson is on track to follow in their footsteps.
While the Bengals have the salary-cap space to accommodate Johnson's bloated salary on the heels of his 11.5-sack breakout season, their priorities will change next year with first-team All-Pro Geno Atkins slated for free agency. If the team is willing to commit big money to only one of the two defensive stars, Atkins is the easy call.

New York State is in the midst of a corruption scandal, which caused Mayor Michael Bloomberg to tee off on the political class yesterday:
"The average legislator who has to make policy on things that influence our lives, our kids' lives, our future, would they ever get a job in the private sector making policy on big things? No, not a chance," the mayor said.
"And yet these are the ones we keep re-electing. You've got to ask yourself why."
When he was asked if the corruption scandal that's rocking the state capital could get any worse, Bloomberg initially said it couldn't before deciding it could. "I don't see how it can get much worse. You can only have every two days another scandal," the mayor said on his weekly WOR radio show.
But Bloomberg, a liberal, fails to draw the obvious conclusion. If politicians are stupid and corrupt, why should we keep giving them more and more of our money? And if they are stupid and corrupt, why should we let them control our lives? To name just two examples, why would we let dishonest incompetents tell us what size beverages we can order, or micromanage how we exercise our natural right to self-defense?

Temps down, precip up during February
Last month, statewide temperatures continued to be below normal, while precipitation was above normal throughout the state. Much of the state was hit with heavy snow early in the month, with total snowfall for the month ranging from less than 6 inches to more than 24 inches.
Much of the wheat crop had been blanketed by snow for the first half of the month, and still remains dormant.
February also marked the beginning of calving season for many cattle operations throughout the state.
Last year, the Illinois Farm Service Agency provided nearly $650 million in assistance to the state's agriculture producers.
Those funds help farmers and ranchers recover from disasters, implement conservation practices and support other activities to ensure the well-being of American farmers.
Following is the breakdown of the federal farm payments issued in Illinois during 2010:
The week of Feb. 19-26 was designated as National FFA Week, and the Vandalia FFA chapter celebrated by hosting a variety of activities.
On Monday, all high school students were encouraged to support agriculture by wearing articles of clothing that were agriculturally related.
Signup will begin on March 14 and continue through April 15 for the Conservation Reserve Program.
A multi-state coalition of farmers and agribusinesses announced this week their promotional partnership with NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Kenny Wallace, who will serve as a spokesman for family farmers and renewable fuels for the entire 2011 racing season.
The agreement also makes family farmers the primary sponsor of RAB Racing's No. 09 Toyota Camry, driven by Wallace, at five races this season, with the first at Phoenix International Raceway on Feb. 26.
Philip Nelson, president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, last week testified on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for "stationary," or non-transportation-related sources under the Clean Air Act. The testimony took place before the House Energy and Power Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
Members of the Vandalia FFA Chapter attended the national FFA organization's 212 Degree conference at the Doubletree Hotel in Collinsville on Jan. 28-29. Members in attendance from Vandalia included Brad Jenner, Jacob Rau and Nate Elam.
The two-day personal development program helped students determine personal virtues and values, while creating personal action plans for achieving their goals. The conference also focused on good decision-making and accountability.
Cattle and calves
The total number of cattle and calves in Illinois on Jan. 1 was 1.1 million head, 6 percent below last year's total. This is the lowest cattle inventory on record for Illinois.
Beef cow inventory was down 10 percent from 2010 to 352,000, while milk cows were down 3 percent to 98,000. This information is based on a recent cattle survey conducted by the Illinois office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Milk production
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will conduct the sorghum referendum on the continuation of the Sorghum Checkoff Program from Feb. 1-28 at the Fayette County FSA office.
For the program to continue, the Sorghum Promotion, Research and Information Order requires that a referendum be conducted no later than three years after the start of assessments, which began July 1, 2008.
The order requires a simple majority vote.
Ballots may be obtained from the FSA office, located at 301 S. Third St. in Vandalia, or on the Internet at www.ams.usda.gov/sorghumpage.
January's temps, precip below norms
Last month, statewide temperatures were below normal, and precipitation was also below normal for all of the state.
Wheat crops were reported to have been blanketed by snow throughout much of the state for most of the month. Winter wheat conditions stand at 5 percent very poor, 14 percent poor, 36 percent fair, 42 percent good, and 3 percent excellent.
Temperatures averaged 21.7 degrees, 3.1 degrees colder than normal.

He plays good defense but cant shoot and cant rebound ... everyone I talk to thinks he is way better than what I think so I am willing to admit that it could be that I dislike him so much that it warps my perception of him as a player but this would trade would be a HUGE blow to my Warriors "fandom"
Hmm, well I wouldn't want your dubs fandom to get blown
He does shoot at about 50% and he does average more than 5 boards at SF, so I'm not sure where you are getting the can't shoot can't rebound thing. He's primarily known for his D and his shot blocking. Both things he excels at. I think he'd be great for the Warriors... but I seriously wouldn't want him here if it would transform you into a perpetually angry bada.
