The hype around cloud computing has created a storm of standards and open source activity. Many IT and business leaders have either defined or are in the process of defining their cloud strategy. At the same time government legislation and high-profile lawsuits are emphasizing the need for accessibility. Although significant energy has been put into defining the business case and value for cloud computing, adopting cloud computing and implementing cloud computing, very little focus has been given to ensuring the accessibility of cloud computing models. At first glance, it may seem that adhering to W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines will ensure accessibility of cloud services; however, those guidelines apply to browser-based access. Other models of access, including remote desktop connections, require additional thought and planning. Also, by including assistive technologies as part of the service, services can be enhanced to more broadly meet the needs of all users. This session identifies the "gotchas" and provides guidelines to help with planning and implementing an accessible cloud computing service.

Monitoring well in Hedgehog Park disconcerting for Salem council
SALEM - As contractors from the state Department of Environmental Services prepare to install a monitoring well inside Hedgehog Park, town officials expressed concerns about safety and the town's potential liability.
During a lengthy public hearing held at Monday night's Board of Selectmen meeting, the board debated the project with Chris Dillon, the town's recreation director, and consultants from Weston Solutions Inc., the company hired by the DES to monitor area wells for possible contamination.
Weston Solutions consultants Betty Nowak and Andrew Klappholz said the DES has approached them to study the park's surrounding areas following the discovery of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) in the former Turner Well.
In December, the town dissolved its decade-long agreement with the well's property owners. The well previously served as an emergency water reserve for the town but was never actually put into use. Found in groundwater throughout the county, MTBE can give drinking water an offensive odor and taste, and many scientists believe it's also a potential carcinogen in higher doses.
The substance can leak into water sources through the improper storage of gasoline and also through storm water runoff and consumer disposal.
Nowak said funding for the local study was provided by the state's Ether Fund and would require no contribution from the town.
Initial studies done in the area have revealed low levels of contamination at bedrock level in the area, and Nowak said it's believed the source of the MTBE is atop the bedrock.
Right now, the plan is to monitor 11 wells in the surrounding area, including the single well that would be located on town property.
Other property owners have already given the DES permission to monitor their wells, Klappholz said.
"We're trying to get a better understanding as to how all of the local water supply wells being used are impacting the ground water," Nowak said.
With improvements to the popular Salem recreation spot pending, Selectman Pat Hargreaves expressed some concern.
"Is this going to interfere?" he asked. "Because I love that park and don't want to drive by and say 'What did they do to our park?'"
According to Dillon, it won't interfere, since the plan is to place the testing well along the roadside of Route 28, where it won't affect park-goers' activities. The well itself would have a two-inch-diameter PVC pipe as its sole opening, leading into a 35-foot well.
Klappholz said the well opening would be at ground level, so as not to become an eyesore.
"The most we'd disturb is the grass, but we could mitigate that with the use of plywood if need be," he said.
Selectman Stephen Campbell said he wanted to make sure the town couldn't be held liable in the unlikely event of someone getting injured by the well.
"They're asking for our permission, but I'm going to be holding the bag. So this is a concern," he said. "Without running this by our town legal counsel, I don't think we should sign this agreement. Obviously we wouldn't hold Weston responsible if someone gets hurt at the beach, but I still think we should run it by counsel."
The selectmen also agreed that the waters of Hedgehog Pond should be tested for possible contaminants as part of the deal.
The board unanimously agreed to grant permission for the well on those two conditions, stressing that the well should also be filled in by the state when the testing has concluded.
Once the town's attorneys approve the agreement, Nowak said the plan is to begin monitoring groundwater levels sometime this month. She said an existing well could be used for the initial steps to avoid further delays.
The entire process should be completed at end of summer and the consultants' findings will be reported to the DES, she said.

It made me laugh. But it also made me sad. Because it is too on-the-nose. It reminded me of an Xfinity commercial that ran throughout the holiday season that also made me sad.

Fan favorite Garet Hunt has re-signed with the Thunder.
CORRECTION: July 26, 2013
An incorrect photo was included in the print and initial online version of this article. It has been removed online.
Fan favorite Garet Hunt has re-signed with the Thunder.
The 5-foot-8, 180-pound forward joins defenseman Shawn Boutin on Stockton's roster. Hunt, 26, has been with the Thunder since 2008-09 when he was assigned by the Springfield Falcons on an American Hockey League contract.
Last season, his first as Stockton's captain, Hunt scored seven goals and had 18 assists and a team-high 235 penalty minutes in 70 games. He helped Stockton earn its first Western Conference title and its first trip to the Kelly Cup Finals with 13 points on three goals and 10 assists in 23 postseason games.
"We're really excited to have the opportunity to bring back a player of Garet's stature and credentials," coach and director of hockey operations Rich Kromm said. "His fearless, driven and competitive reputation around the league made the priority very high to bring him back for this season."
Hunt has received the "Fan Favorite" award each season he's been with Stockton and "Unsung Hero" recognition in 2010-11 and 2012-13. He is the Thunder's all-time leader in games played (314), penalty minutes (1,201) and playoff games (61).
With Hunt in the lineup, the Thunder never hasn't missed the playoffs and has advanced to the second round or further in four of the past five seasons.
"It's an exciting opportunity to compete and play for the great city of Stockton," said Hunt, who is from Maple Ridge, British Columbia. "It's my second home and I love the community and fans. They had a huge role in influencing my decision to return. We've taken our tradition of winning to the next level and I'm right there to support coach Kromm as an extension of him to the rest of the team."
The Thunder opens the regular season against the Colorado Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 19 at Stockton Arena, and will unveil its the Western Conference championship banner.

Three-day weekend brings out idiots
Three-day weekend brings out idiots
June 7, 2010 by Scott Sandsberry
YAKIMA, Wash. Memorial Day weekend is annually welcomed with poignant regret over lost heroes and loved ones, with relief over the end of cold-and-wet and the onset of warm-and-dry, and with relish over the prospect of a three-day break from day-job drudgery.
For those who manage or maintain trail systems, though and even for those who recreate on those trails according to rules and trail ethics Memorial Day weekend isnt welcome because of, as one four-wheeling enthusiast put it, that bunch of idiots out there.
This years holiday weekend which left rutted trails and mudbogged meadows in and around Naches and Cle Elum Ranger District trail systems was dreaded by public land managers and reputable off-roader clubs alike for three reasons.
The first was the weather the wettest late spring in recent memory which left trail systems and nearby meadows soft and muddy.
We had made the decision a month before that we werent going to close the (Naches Ranger District frontcountry) trails because it had been dry, said Naches District Ranger Irene Davidson. But then we had rain.
The second was closures of trail systems in other areas most notably Reiter Foothills (the Pit), a popular off-roading area on state land near Gold Bar in Snohomish County that has been closed since November because of creekbed damage and unauthorized trail use.
That meant a huge influx of visitors who might otherwise have recreated elsewhere, filling the Little Naches, Rimrock and Manastash areas with more trail-riding enthusiasts than ever before.
That meant, even though the majority were still rule-following club members, there were also greater numbers of the ones who simply ignore trail rules and ethics.
That was the highest number of off-road vehicles Ive seen in past years, said Ron Rutherford, a member of a Yakima-area club called the Jeeping Nomads.
A lot of these folks, they were just independent individuals who left their manners and common sense at home and just let it all out, Rutherford said. Im part of a reputable club and were trying to do the right thing and keep the trails in good shape, so we did a little education and asked them to follow the rules.
But by Saturday some of them were like, Hey, theres no enforcement, anything goes!
Yakima County Sheriffs Deputy Steve Sutliff, who for much of the time has to be the sole officer patrolling off-road vehicle use over the Chinook and White Pass corridors, called it normal, run-of-the-mill off-road vehicle activity that just happened to be a lot of riders in limited space.
Long Meadow and the Ponderosa really got hammered, Sutliff said. The Ponderosa (a camp-and-trails area east of the Little Naches drainage), to me, was a mudhole. There must have been 20 or 30 dirtbikes and quads in there. That area is kind of designed for that, but not when its wet like that. It was just a lot of mud.
In some cases, the trenching of some of the trail systems wasnt because of people breaking rules. It was just the vast number of people riding around on the trails and dispersed camping areas.
There was no place for them to go, really, because there was snow up higher and it was rainy, so they just rode the same trails over and over again, Sutliff said. The Kaner trail (No. 676) was really mucked up all to ****. All the trails were. It didnt matter where you went everything was wet.
With more people heading to the hills to recreate and fewer public lands in which to do so, this kind of problem isnt going away, said Mark Mauren, statewide recreation program manager for the Department of Natural Resources.
The real tragedy is if you look at the history of development of recreation trails, both motorized and non-motorized, youll see the majority of investment was done in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, Mauren said. Since then whether youre talking about state parks, the Department of Natural Resources, the Forest Service or whoever we as a society really havent invested at the same level, and yet our population has doubled.
We havent been able to adapt to that change or even have the staff to manage this influx of people so that we dont have these impacts that were seeing across the state.
And its good people; these are well-intentioned people, but they just have nowhere to recreate, whether motorized or non-motorized. In my mind, thats really the tragedy.

We really need more trails. But there to many green people in this state.
Also to many square mmiles of land tied up in wilderness for the number of people that like our kind of recreation.

"Study" areas have closed ground historically open to us, and there are members of congress trying to get those areas closed administratively. Get familiar with that, because we're going to be fighting it more and more. This administration in already trying to corrupt the Antiquities Act to it's own ends...Happily, there is some good news in NorCal. Maybe. Two counties are going after the Shasta-Trinity NF, and I hope to **** they get it right!. Check Don Amador's blog on BRC...

I went thru the Manastash area today. It (the damage) was not as bad as suspected. That's not to say the area was unscathed. But just not as bad as we were led to believe.
Now to what to expect next year. It's being discussed.
I went thru the Naches last weekend. The area around the Kaner has been hammered. People who could not get thru the trail just went where they wanted. Really good way to show the New District Ranger what to expect.
What to expect next year. Thats also being discussed. What I do know for sure what one Ranger District decides the other will do the same!

Well you'll loooove this one:

For a 16-oz. bottle: Mix 1 2/3 cups baking soda with 1/2 liquid castille soap for this recipe. Use a big bowl. If you use dish soap, it makes it too hard to rinse off. Dilute with 1/2 cup water (filtered or distilled). Add 2 tbsp. white vinegar last. Stir until the lumps are gone. If you can pour it into the container easily, then it's the right consistency. If it's too thick, add more water. Pour into bottle with a flip top (I use those rubbermaid ketchup and mustard containers). Keep the cap on because this mixture will dry out. Shake it real good before you use it each time.
Use it in the tub, sink, toilet bowl, garbage cans and to get rid of grease and stuck on dirt. If you see a white residue after you rinse it, you can rinse with a little scented vinegar, or use a little less of the scrub the next time.

Due to recent improvements like Improved Army Printing and New "Intensity Cubes" as well as many changes "under the hood", Conquer Club runs much more efficiently than it used to.
Up until recently we had two web servers with a load balancer to split the traffic between them. Since the faster server is now able to handle everything on its own, not much traffic was going to the slower one. So we got rid of the load balancer and now the main website is running entirely on the faster server. We still have the slower server around taking care of email, live chat, the developement site and a few other things.
We experienced some slowdowns on last Thurdsday and this Monday as a result of experiements gone wrong. I'd like to apologize for that - we should have made an announcement once we realized something was wrong. The good news is we learned what not to do from those experiements and the server situation should be very good for a long time to come

The Branson, Mo. Board of Aldermen voted Oct. 23 to permit bowhunting of deer inside the city limits beginning later this year.
The action was the final reading of a bill approving an amendment to Chapter 58 of the Branson Municipal Code pertaining to bowhunting within the City.
Bowhunting in Branson will be permitted with state licensing and required state safety training. Hunting will be allowed on parcels two acres or larger and not within 150 yards of any structure or property line, and only from an elevated treestand.
Also at Tuesday's meeting, Branson Police Chief Kent Crutcher and Brad Jump, Urban Wildlife Biologist from the Missouri Department of Conservation explained that Missouri communities that permit bowhunting place the responsibility for notification on the hunter or the landowner, rather than the city or municipality.

We have an extensive range of original LML spare parts available for the Indian license-built Vespa. Globally, the LML Star four-stroke model is especially popular. The LML parts are of good quality and real value-for-money! LML produced parts are also compatible with Vespa models manufactured elsewhere and are often the only real alternative to used items. Due to erratic company policies and logistical planning on their part we sometimes experience difficulties with supply but we do our best to compensate by stockpiling in our own warehouses.

Brookfield Renewable To Make All Cash Offer To Acquire Western Wind Energy …
November 27, 2012 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
BROOKFIELD RENEWABLE ENERGY PARTNERS L P ("BEP.UN-T") WESTERN WIND ENERGY CORP ("WND-V") – Brookfield Renewable To Make All-Cash Offer To Acquire Western – Wind Energy Corp.
All amounts in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated
Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P. ("Brookfield Renewable") announced its intention to commence an offer (the "Offer") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Western Wind Energy Corp. ("Western Wind" or the "Company") for cash consideration of $2.50 per share ("Price").
The Price represents a significant premium of 110% to the $1.19 per Common Share closing price on the TSXV on July 27, 2012 (the last trading day prior to Western Wind's announcement of its sale process) and 20% to the $2.09 per Common Share closing price on the TSXV on August 28, 2012 (the last trading day prior to Brookfield Renewable announcing the acquisition of 16.2% of the outstanding Common Shares of Western Wind for $2.25 per share).
Background to the Offer
On July 30, 2012, Western Wind announced that effective immediately it was commencing a sale process for the Company. On August 28, 2012, Brookfield Renewable acquired 16.2% of the outstanding Common Shares in a single transaction and approached Western Wind regarding participation in its sale process. Since that time, no offer has been presented to Shareholders of Western Wind and Brookfield Renewable could not reach agreement with the Company for participation in the sale process. Accordingly, after discussions with a number of other Shareholders, Brookfield Renewable decided to make the Offer.
While Brookfield Renewable has completed a substantial amount of analysis based on Western Wind's public disclosure, the Offer is being made without the benefit of detailed due diligence or negotiations with the Board of Directors of Western Wind regarding the terms on which the Board would recommend the Offer to Shareholders. Brookfield Renewable would welcome the opportunity to work with the Board of Western Wind and its advisors towards a Board-supported transaction.
Other Benefits of the Offer
The Offer is not subject to due diligence or financing conditions. The other key benefits of the Offer are:
Certainty to Sale Process. Western Wind launched its sale process on July 30, 2012, and since then, no alternative proposals for Shareholders to realize the value of their investments have been presented to Shareholders.
Realize Immediate Liquidity. The shares of Western Wind are thinly traded on the TSXV and the Offer provides an attractive liquidity event and an opportunity for Shareholders to realize cash proceeds and certainty of value for their entire investment.
Offer Structure Provides Western Wind Ample Time to Present Alternatives. The Offer will be structured to meet the requirements of a "Permitted Bid" under Western Wind's Shareholder Rights Agreement and to allow Western Wind to have adequate time to conclude its announced sale process. This provides ample time for Shareholders to consider the Offer or for a superior proposal to be presented to Shareholders.
Avoid Uncertainty of Continued Investment in Western Wind. Western Wind faces significant competition from larger companies in a rapidly-consolidating renewable power industry. If Shareholders do not tender to the Offer and no other offer for Western Wind emerges, both the price and liquidity of the shares may decline.
Brookfield Renewable is a well-capitalized, experienced operator and developer of renewable power assets with approximately 5,300 MW of generating capacity, nearly 800 MW of which is wind power. Brookfield Renewable is uniquely positioned to assess the value of Western Wind's assets.
Terms and Conditions of the Offer
Under the terms of the Offer, Brookfield Renewable would acquire, through WWE Equity Holdings Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Western Wind (excluding those it already owns) for $2.50 in cash per Common Share.
Brookfield Renewable owns and controls 11,004,609 Common Shares of Western Wind, representing approximately 15.9 percent of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and 319,741 warrants that, if exercised, would represent approximately an additional 0.5 percent of the presently issued and outstanding Common Shares.
The Offer includes Common Shares that may become issued and outstanding after the date of the Offer but before the expiry time of the Offer upon the exercise of options granted under Western Wind's stock option plans or upon the exercise of Western Wind's share purchase warrants.
Full details of the Offer will be included in the formal offer and take-over bid circular to be filed with securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Shareholders. The Offer documents will be accessible under Western Wind's profile on SEDAR beginning on November 26, 2012. The Offer will be open until January 28, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. EST. The Offer will be subject to acceptance by Shareholders independent of Brookfield Renewable owning more than 50% of the Common Shares outstanding and other offer conditions customary in the circumstances. The Offer will be structured as a "Permitted Bid" under Western Wind's Shareholder Rights Agreement.
Brookfield Renewable has retained Canadian Stock Transfer Company Inc. as its Depositary and CST Phoenix Advisors as its Information Agent in connection with the Offer.
Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners operates one of the largest publicly-traded, pure-play renewable power platforms globally. Its portfolio is primarily hydroelectric and totals approximately 5,300 megawatts of installed capacity. Diversified across 69 river systems and 11 power markets in the United States, Canada and Brazil, the portfolio generates enough electricity from renewable resources to power more than two million homes on average each year. With a virtually fully-contracted portfolio of high-quality assets and strong growth prospects, the business is positioned to generate stable, long-term cash flows supporting regular and growing cash distributions to unitholders.

Promising youngster Bartosz Salamon has voiced his delight with his transfer from Brescia to AC Milan on deadline day of the January transfer window.
The 21-year-old, who can play both in midfield and in defence, signed a contract until June 2017 with the Rossoneri on Thursday, and is over the moon with his move to the Serie A giants.
"It's a dream come true to be a Milan player," he told Milan Channel.
"I used to be a midfielder but coach [Alessandro] Calori turned me into a centre-back. I like that position but if the coach asks me to, I can play in front of the defence as well.
"I don't know any of my new team-mates yet, but I'll meet them soon. Idols? None."
Salamon could make his official Milan debut in Sunday's league match against Udinese.

Past Seasons:
2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 | 1999 | 1998 | 1997 | 1996
Final Record: 11-15-6, 39 pts. (Fifth, Western Conference)
The Los Angeles Galaxy finished the 2006 regular season as the fifth-place team in Major League Soccer's Western Conference, ending the season with an 11-15-6 record and collecting 39 points. For the first time in club history, the Galaxy did not qualify for the MLS Playoffs, snapping the longest playoff streak in League history at ten seasons (1996- 2005).
The year began with tragedy with the passing of the club's President and General Manager Doug Hamilton as he returned from Costa Rica after seeing the club play in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Just how much he meant to the Galaxy organization might not be as easy to understand. Hamilton was the architect of the Galaxy's two MLS Cups. A perennial candidate for MLS' Executive of the Year -- and the person for whom the league award is now named -- Hamilton played an integral part in bringing veteran players like Tyrone Marshall, Chris Albright and Landon Donovan to the Southland. His impact on the team -- and the void he left -- was immeasurable at the start of the '06 campaign.
Knowing that no one person could fill Hamilton's shoes, AEG's first step was to announce Alexi Lalas as the President and General Manager of the club. Lalas, who played for the Galaxy from 2001-2003, returned to the club as their top executive to oversee all business and soccer operations. He had spent the last year as President and General Manager of the New York Red Bulls (formerly the MetroStars) after serving as General Manager of the San Jose Earthquakes from 2004-2005. In addition, AEG promoted Tom Payne to Assistant General Manager to help oversee the business operations for the team. On the field, Los Angeles opened the season looking to defend their 2005 MLS Cup championship, but a 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution foreshadowed the struggles to come as the club posted a 2-2-1 record over the first five games of the year. The season continued to slip away as the club went on a six-game losing streak, falling to last place in the conference with a 2-8-1 record.
On June 6, the Galaxy announced that head coach Steve Sampson had been relieved of his duties. A day later, the club introduced Canadian National Team and former San Jose Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop as the club's new head coach, whose job would be to turn around the struggling side.
With Yallop at the helm, the Galaxy slowly began to respond going 0-2-2 in his first four games before stringing together the club's first three-game winning streak of the season. The team gained momentum and fought to make the playoffs, but a home-and-away series with FC Dallas to end the season proved too much as the teams split the two games, knocking LA out of the playoffs for the first time ever.
At The Home Depot Center, Los Angeles finished with the eleventh-best home record in MLS at 6-6-4. On the road, the Galaxy recorded the third-best record in the league with a 5-9-2 mark. The Galaxy posted a 7-10-3 record against fellow Western Division foes and a 4-5-3 record against teams outside its division. Los Angeles led the league in attendance for the fourth consecutive time and seventh overall (1996, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006). The club welcomed 333,016 fans to the The Home Depot Center for an average of 20,814 per game, including three sellouts (4/1, 9/30 and 10/14). In addition, Los Angeles defeated the Houston Dynamo, 1-0, in front 70,550 at Reliant Stadium in a double header that also featured FC Barcelona (Spain) versus Club America (Mexico).

When Tim Walsworth graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a degree in journalism, he needed work. Thats when he stumbled onto a job with the United Way.
I didnt know what they did, Walsworth said in his Durango office. Yeah, hed watched the ads during NFL games on Sunday, remembers seeing the giving hand logo and people doing good things.
I really didnt have a clue. But, long story short, I found my passion and my calling.
A chance to direct an office brought him to Durango. And after a decade of overseeing a nonprofit thats often in the publics eye, Walsworths name has become synonymous locally with United Way. So when you hear hes leaving, the news is a jolt. Perhaps youre even angry cmon Tim, how can you do this? Then you learn hes staying in Southwest Colorado because he loves it so much, and you forgive him.
Walsworth officially was appointed the new executive director of Durangos Business Improvement District on Tuesday, when the city of Durango approved its 2013 budget.
It wasnt an easy decision for me because I absolutely love the United Way, the animated Walsworth said during an interview in the United Way conference room.
But after all the blood, sweat, tears, heart and soul he poured into the local organization, Im just ready for something new.
Yes, there will be a slight bump in pay, and as the father of an 8-month-old boy, thats important. But hes also excited to use his skills in a new, challenging way.
What exactly, you may be asking, is the Business Improvement District?
Known as BID, it is a quasi-governmental organization that is financed by a tax on property owners in the district, which includes the downtown area and property up Main Avenue all the way past the Hampton Inn at 3777 Main Ave. The city approves BIDs budget and appoints its directors.
BIDs mission has changed since it was created in 1997 to study the feasibility of a downtown conference center. That center was deemed infeasible, so the district now works to attract and retain businesses, and to market special events. Branding the Historic Downtown has become a central focus of the BID, according to its website.
Walsworths succession to BIDs top job heralds a change. The prior director, Bob Kunkel, concurrently served as the city of Durangos manager of downtown business development. Kunkel remains in that job, and BID now has its very own executive director.
For BID, breaking that connection with the city is kind of like a kid leaving home for the first time, said Karen Barger, BID board member and owner of Seasons Rotisserie & Grill.
She describes Walsworth as inspiring, enthusiastic and a great communicator traits that made Walsworth stick out among nearly 40 very qualified candidates.
Tim Wheeler, owner of Durango Coffee Co. and also a BID board member, said Walsworth is well-connected to many aspects of the community, from government officials to business owners. And his track record at United Way has been stellar.
Hes willing to roll up his sleeves and get things done, Wheeler said.
When Walsworth started, the United Way occupied a tiny, shared office at East Eighth Avenue and College Drive the master bedroom of a former three-bedroom apartment.
Inaccessible. People couldnt find us, Walsworth said. It wasnt an optimal situation, but, he chuckles, It was great cause the rent was really cheap.
Ten years later, United Way of Southwest Colorado is on the ground floor of a much more spacious office in Bodo Industrial Park. The nonprofit has grown its fundraising from $500,000 in Walsworths first year as executive director in 2003 to more than $700,000 in 2011.
Hes proud of the $6.15 million raised during his tenure in the five-county area. Theyre in the ballpark of raising this years goal of $764,000.
He hit the streets hard when he joined Southwest Colorados United Way in 2003, and plans to do it again when he starts with BID on Jan. 2.
In my first 90 to 120 days Im going to literally try to meet with every business and property owner in the district, he said. It might be impossible, but Ill try.
District voters in 2010 chose to continue BID for the next 15 years. Good news for most of the 800 property owners, unwelcome news for the 31 percent who voted against it and dont think their taxes are being put to good use.
Walsworth is ready to tackle the challenge of chatting to those in favor as well as the reluctant BID members.
I want to work for you whether you like us or you dont like us, Walsworth said. And if you dont like us, lets try to start fresh and give me a chance to show that Im for you.
I need to know what you think. Honestly tell me. Its not going to hurt my feelings.
Its an opportunity to make some positive changes, and thats what hes all about. He even stops halfway through making a point to say it himself:
Im a glass-is-half-full kind of guy can you tell?

Truth or Lies - Wii
Release Date:September 14, 2010
Also on:Nintendo Wii PS3 Xbox 360
Viewing USA:Also on UK.
If you want to spend your $40 wisely, grab some bottles of beer and gather your friends to play actual Truth or Dare instead and save yourselves from shabby questions and annoying announcer.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
If you are one of the very few people who do not have an idea what Truth or Dare is, well it is a game typically played by adolescents during camps or sleep-overs. The game is about giving truthful answers to questions thought up by your friends but if you do not want to provide honest answers, you can always opt to do what they would challenge you to do instead. The dares are usually what makes this game exciting but unfortunately, this element was taken out in Truth or Lies. So in essence, this game is just about asking your friends and family endless questions which can get to be so boring in the long run.
Truth or Lies is played using a USB connected or wireless microphone. It can be played by up to seven people in Normal or Hot Seat modes. For you to be able to start the game you need to answer three questions and provide honest answers and another three questions with untruthful answers to set up your voice tone. You also have to set up a profile and choose a set of questions suited to the relationship and age of the players. There are set of questions suitable for children, adolescents, adults, families and partners.
The questions asked in the game are generally wholesome and quite suitable for the type of setting opted by players. However, there are some questions that seem to have gotten mixed up like a question about how one thinks about his boss on the teenage section. Players can opt to pass three times throughout the game if he doesnÂ't feel like answering the question on hand.
Players accumulate scores in Normal mode by answering the questions truthfully and the player who gets the highest points wins. This game can be fun if it is accurate and consistent enough in judging the answers but no matter how you adjust the settings at the start of the game, the results can still be frustrating when it gives the wrong scores regardless of how accurate your answers are.
Another game mode is the Hot Seat. Players take turn in taking the hot seat and participants get to ask five daring questions which they personally thought up, to the person on the spot. Unfortunately, because you cannot rely on the accuracy of Truth or Lies, you end up feeling disappointed and annoyed instead of having a good, quality time.
If you want to spend your $40 wisely, grab some bottles of beer and gather your friends to play actual Truth or Dare instead and save yourselves from shabby questions and annoying announcer.

The morning after Miss USA 2013 took her crown, Miss Utah's flub in the competition was taking the spotlight.
It happened Sunday night in Las Vegas, in the dangerous swamp known as the "interview."
A question was posed to Miss Utah Marissa Powell by judge NeNe Leakes: "A recent report shows that in 40% of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men," Leakes said. "What does this say about society?"

Alzheimer's Disease
Is Ativan Okay for Alzheimer`s Patients?
My question is regarding my father who is 81 and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer`s. He recently had to go to the hospital due to extreme back pain which was determined by a CT scan that he had a kidney stone (2cm) of which they did not do anything for. Doctor said he would pass on his own. The problem is that now his back seems better but his dementia has progressed to a much more severe stage forcing us to have to have him in a skilled nursing facility. The facility in which he`s at gives him Ativan perscribed by the doctor on staff there for mild agitation. However I`m seeing a very tired, depressed, lonley gazed look in him. At times I don`t even think he knows who I am. I guess I`m concerned that this could be more of a reaction to this drug rather than the dementia itself espcially since it came on almost overnight. Would there be other drugs more appropriate for this? He is on 10mg of Aricept as well and has been for two years. Prior to this happening he lived on his own with some assistance. But he could feed himself, walk and was continent. Now he can do none of those things. He has an appointment with his own doctor who specializes in aging, but will not be able to see him until the end of the month. I was hoping for some information before then. Sorry this is so long. Thank you.
In my opinion, ativan should only be used rarely and sparingly for dementia patients. It can cause sleepiness and confusion and is addictive. Mild agitation can often be treated by less toxic medications such as antidepressants. His aging doctor may be best to advise other potential alternatives that may fit your father's particular case. Ativan should not be stopped suddenly but rather must be tapered off slowly.

Henry Burney knew the way out of town. Any way would do. The shorter the better. Burney didn't take too long to take his badly beaten bruised body out of Dublin to meet the 48-hour vigilante-imposed deadline and avoid being beaten, stabbed, shot, hung, or a combination of any or all of the above by a violent mob of lynchers.
Henry Burney's nightmare began on the night before Christmas in 1887. Santa Claus had abandoned his sleigh for a boat as cold winter rains transformed the city's sandy sidewalks into a boggy branch.
The Christmas rush was over. It was time for J.M. Reinhart, Jr. to close up the Red Barn and settle down for a cold winter's night. There was no safe in the place. So, the young merchant stuffed $2100.00 in cash in a large wallet and then slid it inside his overcoat. As the clock struck ten, Reinhart turned out the light and set out along a once bustling street toward his home, only some two hundred yards away.
As he approached his house, Reinhart was struck from behind. The heavy blow, softened somewhat by the cushion of his umbrella, was nevertheless, a severe one. He collapsed. In a few moments, Reihart was able to rise from the ground. In the dim light emanating from his front hallway, the victim was able to catch a glimpse of his attacker as he disappeared into the darkness, but not before Reinart managed to fire several pistol rounds in his direction.
Reinhart unequivocally identified his assailant as one Henry Burney, a Negro already suspected of violating the laws of the state. City police officers immediately sought out and quickly apprehended the suspect, whom they promptly threw into a cold damp cell.
While Henry languished in his jail cell on Christmas morning, J.M. Reinhart returned to open his bar. Later in the day, Reinhart felt bad. He went home and straight to bed.
Henry's day in court was delayed long enough for Reinhart to appear as the state's main witness on the following day. David Ware, a Dublin attorney, prosecuted the case on behalf of the State of Georgia against the defendant Burney, who was ably represented by attorneys Hightower and Roach. Ware tendered a ten-foot pole the size of a grown man's arm as the weapon used by Burney. The prosecutor maintained publicly that Burney had an accomplice, but never produced evidence to prove his theory.
The defense attorneys pointed out the fact that Reinhart's back and head bore no sign of blunt force trauma which they claimed proved that the purported victim was not struck as alleged. Some doubted that a robbery took place at all. Despite the exculpatory evidence in the day long trial, Justice of the Peace W.H. Walker ruled there was enough evidence to bind Henry Burney over for a trial on the charge of attempted murder and armed robbery, committed him back to jail and set a bond of $1,000. In his main trial, Burney was convicted and sentenced to four years based on the jury's recommendation for mercy.
That's when the most intriguing part of the case began. Burney was worried that he would be lynched. Jailer Arnau assured him that if he would holler when anyone was trying to get to him, he would be protected. Just before midnight on the morning of January 13, 1888, Burney heard voices outside of his cell. He yelled. Some forty-two masked men swarmed into the jail. Burney picked up a board and threatened to take a few of them out if they tried to take him away.
The masked men began to sing in an understandable dialect which appeared to be some sort of Negro spiritual. Henry put his board down and moved toward a corner. Just then, a rope, fit for lynching, was thrown around his neck. As Henry struggled, the avengers threatened to kill him. One tried to do just that by striking Henry with the butt of his gun.
Jailer Arnau, visibly shaken, could not tell the race of the alleged emancipators, first saying that they were all white and later stating that it was a mixed crowd. While Arnau stated that only five masked men entered his jail, other witnesses put the number of liberators anywhere from twenty-five to forty-two.
The mob carried Burney up the Irwinton Road toward Hunger and Hardship Creek and Blackshear's Ferry. There he was hacked and beaten some more. Not a hide nor hare of Burney could be found the next morning, so almost everyone assumed that he had met with Judge Lynch and dumped in the nearby swamp.
Burney escaped to Oconee, Georgia, where he carried a double-barreled shotgun in anticipation of his capture by the law. Capt. G.W. Shackleford, of the Georgia Central Agency, enlisted the aid of J.J. Dunn to receive the $100.00 reward for the fugitive. On the morning of February 2, 1888, the men found Burney peacefully working at the home place of Judge G.J. Elkins. Dunn offered Burney a drink while the Captain drew a bead on Burney's torso and commanded him to raise his arms. Dunn slapped a pair of handcuffs on Burney, who then drank his dram. The officers took Burney to a Macon jail to await his testimony before the next session of the Laurens County Grand Jury.
Burney told his captors that masked marauders had beaten him repeatedly with fence rails and stabbed him numerous times. "They asked me if I knew the way out of town to which I said, 'yes,' " Burney said. He added, "They told me, 'Well then, we'll give you two days to get out of and never come back again.' " Henry showed the officers a piece of rope which was strung around his neck as he was led out of town. He also pointed out a severe gash on his cheek which came at the hands of his so-called liberators.
After being granted a new trial, Burney testified before the jurors that he was innocent and that Reinhart was never robbed. He alleged that the entire matter was a convoluted scheme between Reinhart and his partner, Capt. Louis C. Perry. Arnau and Perry, along with messers Waters, McGowan and Webb, were indicted by Grand Jury for unlawfully releasing Burney from jail.
Don't get me wrong, Henry Burney was a bad man. And, being bad was probably the reason he was convicted. Captain Perry and jailor Arnau were outstanding citizens of the community and no one would believe that they could be involved in such an elaborate scheme. The defendants were never tried, although many others believed Burney was innocent. As for Burney, he seemed to have disappeared from sight, at least from the headlines which told the whole world of his nightmare in winter.

Over the past few years, the UFC has used a number of different hooks to lure you into buying Anderson Silva's fights on pay-per-view, from building Silva up as a supernaturally-gifted phenom to acknowledging the ridiculousness of his matchups. So here's a new angle: To hype Silva's UFC 162 middleweight title fight against Chris Weidman, the UFC has cut together clips of Gray Maynard, Georges St. Pierre, and Rashad Evans talking about Weidman as if he's the next champ. Indeed, "every fighter out there" apparently thinks Silva is going to lose his belt on July 6th.
Call it trash-talk by proxy. Weidman isn't speaking for himself in this promo because, 1) having other people do it lends him credibility by association, and 2) the sound of Chris Weidman's voice has never gotten anybody excited for anything. Not trying to hate, here. Chris is just a soft-spoken, respectful dude who does his talking in the cage. And that's fine. And that's why GSP and Joe Rogan are doing the talking for him.
Whether that's an effective promotional strategy or not remains to be seen, but I think this clip captures the current zeitgeist among MMA fans. Whether it's because they truly believe that Weidman possesses the skills to knock Silva off his throne, or they're just getting tired of King Andy's bloody reign, it feels like public support is leaning hard on the challenger this time.
So who are you picking for Silva vs. Weidman? And why? And are your reasons actually rooted in reality?

A drug-user who stole two packets of razor blades from an Alfreton store was caught red-handed by an eagle-eyed security guard.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Monday, April 7, how Barry Bennett, 37, of Openacre, Ironville, had stolen the razor blades from Wilkinson's.
Prosecuting solicitor John Cooper said: "A security guard watched CCTV and watched Bennett on the toiletries' aisle and saw him select razor blades and conceal them in his left-hand coat pocket.
"He stopped the male before he left and he asked the male to show him what he had and he produced two packets of razor blades totalling £34 and they were still in their packaging.
"The defendant was taken to the back of the store and had no means of payment and police attended and he was interviewed."
Mr Cooper explained that Bennett told police he was going to plead guilty at court for the offence despite also opting to give no further comment.
Mr Cooper added: "Bennett said he had a £10 a day heroin addiction and was trying to wean himself off the drug but had obviously failed to do so."
Bennett pleaded guilty to stealing the two packets of razor blades after the incident in April.
The court heard how Bennett had also breached a community order which he had received in February for committing three other thefts.
Defence solicitor Philip Bloor said Bennett had assured him he had been clean of drugs before Christmas.
But Bennett had since developed a £10 a day heroin habit, according to Mr Bloor, after an associate of Bennett's offered to buy him some drugs and the defendant, who is on benefits, has been struggling to meet costs.
Mr Bloor said the defendant told him he had dabbled with drugs and had become hooked again.
Magistrates adjourned the case for a probation report and Bennett was subsequently sentenced to a 12 month community order with a thinking skills programme. He was also ordered to do 60 hours of unpaid work and must pay an £80 victim surcharge.

Canadians' holiday travel pet peeves
Canadians love to travel, especially around the holidays, but we hate rush-hour at the airport and we hate paying unexpected fees.
A study by Travelocity.ca found 66% of Canadians schedule travel at off-peak times to avoid crowds. The study also found 38% name unexpected costs (such as bag fees) as their biggest pet peeve about travelling.
The next most annoying bits about travel were delays (36%), complainers (28%) and travel etiquette mistakes such as armrest hogs, excessive seat recliners and seat-switchers (25%).
It seems more experienced fliers make better travel companions or seat mates — or at least they think they do. According to the study, 8% of travellers 55 and older admit to making travel faux pas, compared to 9% of those aged 35-55 and 12% of those age 18 to 34.
This still means the vast majority of Canadians think they're very well behaved at the airport or on the plane. The study found 62% of Canadians won't admit to causing travel annoyances. Travelocity.ca also reported a slight difference between men and women on that front. For women, 65% said they don't cause travel problems. For men, it was 60%.
The study found a majority of Canadians (56%) are selective about who they'll travel with. Fifty seven per cent of Canadians said they love travelling, but other people's annoying travel habits deter them from doing things they enjoy.
The study also found men are slightly less likely to travel during the holidays or will travel at off-peak times to reduce aggravation (67% versus 64% for women).
Travelocity.ca interviewed 1,513 Canadian adults for the online survey between Nov. 14 and 15, 2016.

Abuse Contact Information in the AfriNIC service region - AFPUB-2010-GEN-006
|Ref. Name
|24 Nov 2010
|Tobias Knecht
|abusix UG
|Policy Affected
This is a proposal to introduce a reference to a specific and dedicated object which shall be used in future as the one and only place to publish abuse contact information within the AfriNIC region. The mentioned object can be referenced in the inetnum, inet6num and aut-num objects in the AfriNIC Whois Database. It provides a more accurate and efficient way for abuse reports to reach the correct network contact.
2.) Summary of current problem:
Network owners increasingly operate dedicated abuse handling departments, distinct from the basic operations department.
More and more network owners and other institutions are also starting to exchange data about abusive behavior with each other, to more quickly allow networks to identify internal abuse, external abuse, and other security problems.
Currently within the AfriNIC region, the growing amount of abuse reports are sent to e-mail address specified in the e-mail field, as encouraged on the AfriNIC website.[1] These addresses are used because the AfriNIC Whois Database currently has no specialised contact object for abuse departments. Instead, all abuse reports are sent to contact that is has broader responsibilities or different responsibilities.
APNIC found consensus on introducing a mandatory IRT Object for all inet(6)nums and aut-nums at APNIC 29 in Kuala Lumpur March 4th 2010. Further information about the APNIC policy proposal can be found at [2]
An abuse-POC exists for Organizational ID identifiers.[3]
An abuse-c exists for aut-num, inetnum and inet6num objects.[4]
An optional IRT (Incident Response Team) object can be linked to inetnum and inet6num objects.[5]
It is proposed that the technical staff of AfriNIC finds a way to create a new or uses an already existing object, which implements the following qualities:
4.1 Can be referenced only once by inetnum, inet6num and aut-num
4.2 Contains 2 email address attributes:
4.2.1 "e-mail:" for personal communication
4.2.1 "abuse-mailbox:" for automatic report handling
4.3 Can be queried via
4.3.1 classic whois
4.3.2 Abuse Finder Database [5]
4.4 AfriNIC publishes a Best Practice Paper and a Documentation, which encourages all members to use the new object to publish abuse contact information.
5.) Advantages and disadvantages of the proposal:
5.1 Advantages
- Networks will be able to supply their own, direct contact information for abuse departments.
- Abuse complaints will not be sent to the "wrong" contact any more.
- This permits greater administrative and operational flexibility, and faster abuse handling will be possible.
5.1 Disadvantages
This object, like all other existing objects, will face the data accuracy problem. This proposal aims to address the issue of a missing place for abuse contact information and will not improve data accuracy in the whois database. Nevertheless it is suggested to AfriNIC to offer a way to receive reports about not working or not accurate objects. But this is part of another proposal.
6.) Effect on AfriNIC members:
There will be no immediate affect for AfriNIC members with existing resource registrations already in the AfriNIC Whois Database. The only effect is the opportunity to publish a dedicated abuse contact object and profit by the advantages.

The Professional & Leadership Division (formerly the Men's Division) of Albert Einstein College of Medicine was formed in 1961 by a group of businessmen-philanthropists. These pioneering individuals were dedicated to supporting a fledging medical school destined to become one of the nation's premier centers for biomedical research and medical education. For more than 50 years, division members have encouraged the growth and development of the College of Medicine, providing a source of volunteer leadership and continuity.
Over the years, the Division has raised millions for Einstein. Some past projects include:
Today, the Professional & Leadership Division includes more than 1,000 business leaders from diverse backgrounds and industries. They share a common passion: helping a great medical institution advance its mission of transforming human health. The division carries out its commitment to Einstein by hosting a variety of fundraising events and educational programs throughout the year.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) -- Long famous for "coffee shops" where joints and cappuchinos share the menu, the Netherlands' famed tolerance for drugs could be going up in smoke.
A judge on Friday upheld a government plan to ban non-Dutch residents from buying marijuana by introducing a "weed pass" available only to residents.
The new regulation reins in one of the country's most cherished symbols of tolerance -- its laissez-faire attitude to soft drugs -- and reflects the drift away from a long-held view of the Netherlands as a free-wheeling utopia.
For many tourists visiting Amsterdam the image endures -- and smoking a joint in a canalside coffee shop ranks high on their to-do lists along with visiting cultural highlights like the Van Gogh Museum.
The city's left-leaning Mayor Eberhard van der Laan is hoping to hammer out a compromise with the national government.
Coffee shops also have not given up the fight. A week ago they mustered a few hundred patrons for a "smoke-in" in downtown Amsterdam to protest the new restrictions.
A lawyer for owners, Maurice Veldman, said he would file an appeal against the ruling by a judge at The Hague District court, which clears the way for the weed pass to be introduced in southern provinces on May 1.
The pass will roll out in the rest of the country -- including Amsterdam -- next year. It will turn coffee shops into private clubs with membership open only to Dutch residents and limited to 2,000 per shop.
The most recent figures from the government's statistics bureau says the country has more than 650 coffee shops, 214 of them in Amsterdam. The number has been steadily declining as municipalities have imposed tougher regulations, such as shuttering ones close to schools.
But the new membership rules are the most significant rollback in years to the traditional Dutch tolerance of marijuana use.
The government argues that the move is justified as a way of cracking down on so-called "drug tourists," effectively couriers who drive over the border from neighboring Belgium and Germany to buy large amounts of marijuana and take it home to resell. They cause traffic and public order problems in towns along the Dutch border.
Such issues do not exist in Amsterdam, where most tourists walk or ride bikes and buy pot purely for their own consumption.
The weed pass "doesn't solve any problems we have here and it could create new problems," said city spokeswoman Tahira Limon.
It is not just hardcore potheads taking a toke in the city. Limon said four to five million tourists visit Amsterdam each year and around 23 percent say they visit a coffee shop during their stay.
Amsterdam argues that the reasons coffee shops were first tolerated decades ago are still relevant today -- they are well-regulated havens where people can buy soft drugs without coming into contact with dealers of hard drugs like heroin and cocaine.
Coffee shops also are banned from serving alcohol and from selling drugs to people under 18.
The government in The Hague said Friday there would be no exceptions to the new rules.
"Amsterdam will also have to enforce this policy," said Job van de Sande, a spokesman for the Ministry of Security and Justice.
The conservative Dutch government introduced the new measures saying it wants to return the shops back to what they were originally intended to be: small local stores selling to local people.
However the Dutch government collapsed this week and new elections are scheduled for September. It is unclear whether the new administration will keep the new measures in place.
Coffee shop lawyer Veldman called Friday's court ruling a political judgment.
"The judge completely fails to answer the principal question: Can you discriminate against foreigners when there is no public order issue at stake?" he asked.
Coffee shop owners in the southern city of Maastricht have said they plan to disregard the new measures, forcing the government to prosecute one of them in a test case.

Creating a Specific Source List Report in Family Tree Maker 2012
It appears that I miss read what he was after. I had picked up on the clean up aspect of what I was working on, and missed Randy's task.
What I was trying to do, was far more complicated then Creating a Specific Source List Report.
Going to the Source Workspace, selecting a specific Source, there is a Printer ICON with two options. One of which is a report for this specific Source.
For my specific example, I chose the 1940 Census Record for Pennsylvania, Chester County. That was the same Source used in my earlier post.

And since I learned more in the first half of my first semester of college than I did in all that time on my own, I am, of course, an expert on how TO study classical languages.
All kidding aside, I did have a look at what I was doing right in school and what I was doing wrong out of school, and I have come up with a list. You might have your own. Here is mine.
What I did wrong:
- No real method
- No disciplined system of goals
- No schedule
I thought I could just dive in wherever and use a dictionary to define terms. Wrong. I did realize that I needed more grammar, and I surely did learn a lot about that, not only in English, but Greek and Latin, but given my haphazard lack of discipline, it is no wonder my effort was doomed. As an example, I never so much as decided I would finish any particular book at any particular date or scheduling chapter or exercise completion goals.
The short list of what I did right:
- I persisted anyway.
There is more I could say on this topic, but the above seem to me to be the points that nail my particular problems. Do you not find the the process of being wrong is often more enlightening than being right? Is it not a much more fun question to ask what is the wrong way to do it? How about you? What's the wrong way to study classical languages?

Marcus Bai announces retirement
Bradford Bulls winger Marcus Bai has today announced his retirement from the game. Marcus joined the Bulls at the start of Super League XI after spending the previous two seasons with Leeds Rhinos. He had initially agreed a new one year contract extension at the Grattan Stadium but has now decided to retire.
He made an immediate impact with the Bulls, scoring two tries on his debut against Wests Tigers and in doing so became the only player to win three World Club Challenge medals with three different clubs. In all he made 26 appearances for the Bulls and scored 12 tries.
Bulls Coach Steve McNamara said today.
?It?s a blow. Marcus has been fantastic since he?s been at the club both on and off the field. We really missed his presence when he was out for big chunks of the season. He scores tries, creates opportunities and does a lot of hard work so we will miss him but he?s been honest with us. His wife has just had a baby and he didn?t feel his body would stand another season after giving everything due consideration.
It does leave us in a tricky situation but we?ll monitor things and see where we go from here. It?s going to give somebody else an opportunity and we still have a very strong squad.?

What Lies Beneath
Video: The Census of Marine Life reveals more than 6,000 potentially new species living in our oceans.
After a decade of research and exploration, the Census of Marine Life has released incredible new knowledge about life in our Earth's oceans. The study involved 2,700 scientists from 80 countries and more than 9,000 days at sea, ultimately revealing more than 6,000 potentially new species. Among the discoveries: a species of shrimp thought to have gone extinct 50 million years ago. The findings also help identify important changes, like the dwindling population of Atlantic bluefin tuna off the coast of Northern Europe.

Where do i begin....Duge is 3 yrs old and had been battling skin issues for almost 2 yrs....no one can tell us whats wrong with him!!!! hes been to numerous vets for numerous testing and even went to a specialist...he did not have allergy testing but they said food was pretty much out of the picture...they were thinking its enviromental. I clean all natural and use basically vinegar on everything!!! i am switching to a hypo-allergenic laundry soap for the bedding. It may also be the cat, duges face is stuck up her booty often.
While doing research on raw ive finally decided to try it...hoping and praying it will help him. The only thing im worried about is the bacteria in the meat...they say when a dogs immune system is low it may be harmful. He often itches so bad he has to be on antibiotics for staph infections! My girls will be jealous he gets the good stuff but they get high quality food...who knows i may switch everyone at some point.
What i need to know is exaclty what i need to start this...i want him to get all the nutrients he needs. how much to feed him?? he is 73 lbs. Where in the rochester area to get the best deals? do i need supplements? There is so much info out there but i trust you all and would rather hear it from u guys.
Duge thanks you in advance!!!

Look, we here at CagePotato can't exactly claim to be the most up-to-date, unbiased, or even grammatically correct MMA website out there. Not that we'd want to, because that shit is for nerds anyway *high fives other members of the cool kid's table*. But if there's one thing we are good at, it's bringing you, our readers, the latest in hot chicks and ring girl-related goodness, be it photos, videos, or arrest reports. We even have a little tab devoted to our shameless gawking of these hotties located at the top of the page. Go ahead. Click it. You know you want to.
But every so often, Arianny takes a week off from working the graveyard shift, or Brittney strips down and locks herself in her room until she finishes her latest tribute to Jimi Hendrix, leaving us with little "hot chick tenuously connected to MMA" content to bring you. Thankfully, there are women like Caitlin O'Connor who actually reach out to us for the chance to be featured on our Paddy's Pub Billboard of sorts. And while Caitlin's only involvement in the sport of MMA may be the pair of 4 ounce gloves she strapped on for a recent shoot with Lavar Johnson (photos above), that's good enough for us damn it!
So check out the absolute best photos of Caitlin in our time-tested gallery, then hit Caitlin up on her Twitter, because we're positive that a girl who looks as good as this is just waiting for an internet love connection. Also, make sure to pick up the December issue of Maxim when it hit stands, as it will feature both Ms. O'Connor and a certain mug that you'll probably recognize.

UPDATED: AG report finds no charges in case that left Manchester man paralyzedBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 09. 2014 9:35PM
MANCHESTER — Manchester resident Fern Ornelas, the Elliot Hospital psychiatric patient paralyzed in mid-October, punched and head-butted the door of his cell while being held at Valley Street Jail, according to a report on his injuries by criminal prosecutors.
Released on Wednesday, the report said the injuries suffered by Ornelas were not a crime. Rather, the report said Ornelas was subjected to a justified use of physical force at both Elliot Hospital and the jail.
The two prosecutors who oversaw the report — Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice and Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance — stressed that the investigation only dealt with whether Ornelas was the victim of an assault.
The report does not pinpoint when Ornelas received the injury that led to his paralysis. Nor does it render any judgment on care provided by the Elliot or the Valley Street Jail.
"I would not be surprised if there were a civil lawsuit, ... but that's completely out of our purview," Rice said Wednesday.
LaFrance called the incident tragic. "Mr. Ornelas went to the hospital seeking help. All I can say it is tragic what happened," she said.
The investigation details what happened to Ornelas between an Oct. 16 visit to the Elliot Hospital emergency room and the morning of Oct. 17, when Valley Street Jail returned him to the hospital with a fractured neck.
The attorney general's report gives a first account of what happened after Manchester police took Ornelas to the Valley Street Jail:
• At 2:30 a.m., Ornelas told a nurse that his neck hurt. He could not turn his head, and a squeeze test showed unequal strength in his hands. The nurse offered him Tylenol.
• About 5:30 a.m., he charged his cell door and head-butted it twice after a corrections officer told him to stop wetting the floor of his cell with toilet water. He swore and continued to punch and head-butt the door.
• Additional corrections officers and a nurse were called to remove Ornelas from his cell. One corrections officer was told to videotape the event, but the camera malfunctioned.
• Three times, corrections officers pepper-sprayed into the cell. When several officers entered the cell, Ornelas jumped on the bunk and punched and kicked at them. He was brought to the ground, continued to fight and was put in hand and leg restraints.
• Ornelas was showered and strapped to a restraint chair. A nurse started regular checks at 5:45 a.m. Initially, Ornelas was cooperative and talking. At 7:30 a.m., he appeared less alert and somewhat incoherent. At 8:25 a.m., he was less responsive.
• At 8:45 a.m., he was still less responsive, cold to the touch, and his pupils did not react to light. He slumped forward when uncuffed. Jail officials called 911.
Jail Superintendent David Dionne was not available for comment on Wednesday. The Hillsborough County Commissioners oversee the jail. Commission Chairman Toni Pappas said the case is not over and she's been told by lawyers to say little.
"I appreciate the thoroughness of the attorney general's report," Pappas, R-Manchester, said.
Rice would not discuss a medical condition that made Ornelas susceptible to spinal damage, citing Ornelas' privacy.
The report said Ornelas' sister took him to Elliot Hospital after a car accident on Oct. 16. He was placed in the Psychiatric Evaluation Program unit, pending transfer to the New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord.
That evening, he grabbed the shirt of hospital security officer Lawrence Bolduc and punched him several times in the face. Bolduc used pepper spray, and punched and elbowed Ornelas after the patient dug his fingers into Bolduc's eyes. After the situation was under control, the hospital did a CT scan of Ornelas and found everything normal. The scan went down to the C1 and C2 vertabrae.
After Ornelas returned from the jail, an Elliot CT scan revealed a fracture through the disc space at the C4-C5 level, the report said.
In a statement Wednesday, Elliot extended its "sincere empathy" to Fern Ornelas and his family.
"We hope that he is recovering from any physical, mental and emotional issue that he has faced and we wish for his full recovery," the statement reads. The hospital praised its staff, including security officers, for their work.

There was a day not so long ago when deer hunters across North America were absolutely fascinated with big bucks.
No, not big racks — big bucks. Huge, giant, monstrous creatures. Or, as the old-timers called them, "real slobberknockers."
Antlers were adored, but they were almost secondary when it came to describing a buck's status. "What did he weigh?" was often the first question asked of a successful hunter. This infatuation hasn't died completely. A buck's hog-dressed weight is still a badge of honor for hunters in the Northeast, Upper Great Lakes and Canada.
From what we can gather, the heaviest whitetail ever shot was killed by a bow-hunter, John Annett of Ontario, in 1977. The deer field dressed 431 pounds on government-certified scales. That would have given it an estimated live weight of more than 540 pounds. However, reports indicate the buck was butchered before Canadian authorities could inspect it.
Second place seemingly belongs to a 402-pound Minnesota buck killed by Carl Lenander Jr. in 1926. Conservation officials estimated the live weight at 511 pounds.
Third place would go to a Maine buck killed by Horace R. Hinckley in 1955. Hinckley reportedly spent three days searching for a scale large enough to properly weigh his buck. With a Maine Sealer of Weights witness present, the buck officially tipped the scales at 355 pounds, giving it a live weight of 451 pounds. Hinckley's buck had a 28-inch neck girth and a 56-inch chest girth.
Fourth place goes to a 321-pound buck killed in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, in 1938. We don't know the hunter's name, but the weight was verified. Fifth place would have to go to a buck killed in New York in 1946. That deer officially weighed 291 pounds dressed.
These rankings are open for debate. While researching this topic with my friend Keith McCaffery, a retired deer research biologist, we found several mentions of heavier deer. However, none of those weights were verified. Included in that list are a 1907 Wisconsin buck that allegedly weighed 437 pounds dressed, and a 1924 Wisconsin buck that weighed 386 pounds.
