The ICC congregated on Thursday for their first meeting of the spring semester.
By Andres Sanchez, Staff Writer
The Inter-Club Council delegates discussed the upcoming World Culture Exchange, club day’s food authenticity, and club day events.
In an ICC meeting that remained unofficial due to some clubs lacking recertification, club advisors brainstormed upcoming events and how to draw more student participation. In the approaching World Culture Exchange event, clubs will adopt, inform and represent different world cultures to students on April 19 at the Student Union Plaza. ICC Chair and ASU Vice President Ani Batmazyan mentioned a possible collaboration with Connecting Culture to provide cultural artifacts for the occasion.
The clubs discussed using diverse art, music or academic articles for the event, but serving culturally-specific food has proven to be a challenge. Club advisors asserted that the LACCD joint lease agreement with Pacific Dining limits the authenticity of cultural representation, due to contractual restrictions regarding students catering from outside vendors.
“The only way that we cannot use Pacific Dining is if they are not available,” explained Council Advisor Monica Flores. “If they don’t respond to you within 72 hours when you sent your initial email we would then need to reach out to Mr. Manzano, and he has to request waiver from Dr. Gribbons.”
Pacific Dining Food Service Management is the vendor which operates at all nine LACCD campus cafeterias, vending machines, food stands and catering. The Northern California business landed a 10-year joint-lease agreement with the district in 2017, shortly after facing scrutiny from previous local food service provider, Falafelicious Catering.
Pacific Dining provides a nine-page catering menu offering an assortment of items that can be summarized as a traditional American melting pot. The conflict in Thursday’s meeting arose when the clubs discussed bringing authentic cultural dishes from outside vendors.
“I would like to know where that is written for us as club leaders telling us that we have to do that,” said Valley Collegiate Players Club Advisor Diana Rosero. “To force us to use a place that isn’t even friendly to us when we go to the counter is not okay.”
The VCP is a student run theater club. Their advisor, Rosero imparted a lack of transparency regarding coordination of club events and restrictions the school may place on events. Rosero described previous successful events like karaoke night at the Halloween Carnival, which resulted in significant student participation.
Abilities Club advisor, William Craig, suggested having contests like open mic nights or rap battles where students can win prizes.
“We can get the community involved by putting the word out to the community we are having this contest, we can let Grant High School know,” said Craig. “Specifically with the Abilities club, we deal with the Regional Center and other places like that.”
The Inter-Club Council is next scheduled to meet March 16 at 1:00 p.m. for club advisors. The next ASU Executive Council meeting will be held on February 28 at 2:00 p.m. which welcomes Valley students to participate.

I had a fantastic time at the Perth Writers Festival. It was a new experience for me to be on panel discussions, and I am very grateful to Grant Stone, Michael Koryta, Helen Merrick, Liz Byrski and Anita Heiss for making it such a thoroughly enjoyable debut. I very much enjoyed talking about book editing too: first of all in a Publishing Seminar on the Friday before the main festival, with Georgia Richter, Jon Doust and Donna Ward, and then with 25 brave participants at my workshop on Saturday afternoon – where we spent 3 hours in a room without air conditioning on a 40 degree day! It was lovely to meet so many fellow booklovers over the course of the weekend, and to cap it all off, Come Back to Me was launched on a balmy Sunday evening in the beautiful Sunken Amphitheatre at UWA, by Amanda Curtin, author of the wonderful WA-based book The Sinkings. Thank you to the organisers and volunteers at the festival for making everything run so smoothly – I’m in awe of the organisational skill that must go into such an event. I’m looking forward to doing more events in future – but first I have the small matter of a book to finish!

The House gave final approval Monday to legislation to require an external review of how Arizona has been handling its child protective services.
SB 1386 sets aside $250,000 to hire an independent consult with expertise in child welfare system planning and operations to consider how best to handle child-welfare matters. The expert is required to report back by next March.
The move comes as Gov. Jan Brewer already is trying to separate Child Protective Services from the state Department of Economic Security.
She wants a new freestanding agency headed by someone who reports directly to the governor, and Brewer already has said she intends to call legislators into special session to do just that once a special committee studying the issue issues its report, perhaps as early as next month.
Senate President Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, has said his legislation is not intended to stall that move.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effect of partial replacement of cement by metakalion by various percentages viz 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% on the properties of high performance concrete, when it is subjected to acid attack. An aggregate binder ratio of 2 and different water binder ratios viz 0.3, 0.35, 0.40 and 0.45 was used in this investigation. Concrete specimens of size 150 x 150 x 150 mm were casted to find residual compressive strength and specimens of size 100 x 100 x 100mm were casted to find percentage weight loss; both the sizes of specimens were casted and cured as per IS specification. After 28 days water curing, the concrete specimens were kept immersed in 5% concentrated acid solution for 30, 60 and 90 days for observation. Before immersion, they were weighed accurately and after required days of immersion and observation, the specimens were removed from acid media, weighed accurately and tested for their compressive strength; weight loss and hardness of concrete were studied. The various results which indicate the effect of replacement of cement by metakalion on HPC are presented in this paper to draw useful conclusions. The results were compared with reference mix. Test results indicate that use of replacement cement by metakalion in HPC has improved performance of concrete up to 10%.

Denny's performance schedule takes him to Boston, Hannah's hometown, and sparks fly. How can such opposites fall in love without changing the world, theirs and that of those around them? They can't.
Unable to shed their miserable marriages, Hannah and Denny are equally unable to deny their growing attraction. Through undercover meetings facilitated by Hannah's faithful friend, Donna, their emotional attachment becomes dangerous after accidents and mysterious illnesses befall them. When a seriously-injured Hannah is kidnapped and held for a sick ransom, Denny's life for hers, worlds collide in a shocking confrontation.
It all started during those weekends in New England....
Barnes & Noble.com
Love, romance, innocence, intrigue, danger, and lust. Life is complicated, and love even more so. Life, and love, can be hazardous to a lady's health. Especially if she's fallen in love with a married pop star.
Ex-nun Hannah Jergen married the first man to look at her. Denny Lorenzo, an internationally-famous Jewish singer, is in a crumbling marriage to an overbearing publicity hound. Guilt-ridden flashbacks over a car accident that left his wife with amnesia are the only reasons he hasn't left her.
Is it the music that makes the man, or the man that makes the music?
"I'm looking for the woman,
The woman who sees.
I'm looking for the woman,
The woman who sees
What I really am
And what I could really mean
... To her."
Inside Chapter 7:
"Denny, please...." She reached out, not meaning to touch him. The gesture was an unconscious act of helplessness.
"Neither of us knows what we want right now." His voice was less interrogating, with firm but gentle conviction.
"Remember our first dance?" She nodded. "I knew you were different than all the others. I have to keep that in mind. And you...." The sound of his words softened even more as his eyes crinkled, but still there was no smile, "you got to remember, it doesn't matter who I am. That's nothing. I'm skin and bones and blood, like you; I hurt, bleed, want like anybody else."
The warning Donna had spoken to her earlier rang over and over in Hannah's mind. "He's only human.... Only a man...."
"We're gonna make a helluva pair, you know? ... You, the little girl with a bad case of 'Mom's Apple Pie' disease, and me, the bastard who can't decide if he should make music to his love, or love to his music....
"Ain't that a helluva note?!"
-- Denny Lorenzo, pop star

WEEKENDS IN NEW ENGLAND is like a fine martini.
WEEKENDS IN NEW ENGLAND
Weekends in New England is like a fine martini. Gently stir in two marriages, two lovers, and a twisted friendship and you have a scrumptious cocktail hour goodie.
Hannah, an ex nun, is battling against the sorrow of a cold marriage. She is like a boat whose anchor has worked itself loose and the tide is pulling her further and further out to sea. Peter, her husband, is a walking minefield. He is cold, patient and on occasion, explosive in his needs.
The story unfolds with Hannah and her husband attending a Denny Lorenzo concert. Denny is an exhilarative singer equipped with audience schmoozing powers. He is mentally cramped by his own peculiar predicament. His giddy with malice wife is a mastermind at manipulation.
Both Hannah and Denny realize their lives are falling short of their dreams. When a chance meeting occurs, an umbilical cord springs forth interlocking Hannah and Denny through an obstacle course of religious barriers, moral dilemmas, and a life and death struggle. They embrace a place of refuge and exile within each other.
As the well-developed characters continue to negotiate between love, anger and being in love, a bizarre development surprises the reader. The reader will be dazed with disbelief of a tormentor's identity. This skillfully written novel flows with just the right amount of romantic confessions, turbulent relationships, jealousy, and mystery. Ms. Alexander, once again, proves herself to be a lively original thinker and a bright writer.
Sherry Russell, Reviewer
Midwest Book Review
... a story so intense that the reader is riveted to each page....
WEEKENDS IN NEW ENGLAND by Linda Alexander is a novel of innocence misplaced and innocence re-found. It is a story of fresh beginnings without the frills of make-believe. It is life.
Hannah Jergen has always led a sheltered life. A devout Catholic, she becomes a nun but eventually quits the monastery. She marries Peter Jergen because of his captivating smile, but under his pleasant exterior dwells anger capable of the most humiliating act of revenge.
Denny Lorenzo, a Jew and a rock star, has his own demons to exorcise; His skepticism keeps him chained to the nightmares of the past where he believes he will remain.
Despite being married, Hannah and Denny cannot escape their mutual attraction and begin a relationship handicapped by the scars of their dysfunctional marriages.
Ms. Alexander relates a story so intense that the reader is riveted to each page. Her characters come alive and their personalities jump from the pages into the readers’ lives. Only at the end will the reader discover whether the book is a romance, a mystery, a thriller, or a combination of all three.
If you are looking for a good, mysterious, page-turning read, then Weekends in New England is well worth making a trip to the local bookstore.

An edge-of-your-seat suspense novel ... that keeps you guessing....
At first appearances, WEEKENDS IN NEW ENGLAND looks like your average romance. Hannah Jergen is married, albeit not happily, but having come from a convent where she was about to become a nun, she married the first man to ask. She realizes her marriage is a sham, but it is a marriage…
Denny Lorenzo is a renowned Jewish singer. His fans treat him like royalty, but behind the scenes his marriage is in ruins. The only thing keeping him with his wife is the fact that she lost her memory following a tragic car accident in which Denny was behind the wheel.
When Hannah and Denny meet, their worlds are rocked. The two know they were destined to be together for eternity, but neither knows how to end their troubled marriages.
So far, it sounds just like a romance in which there can be no happy ending for all, right? Well, here comes the twist…
Hannah disappears and her kidnapper asks for a huge ransom. Suspicions are first cast on Hannah’s husband and on Denny’s wife, but no one knows for sure. It could be either spouse determined to keep the lovers apart; they could be working together; or is there a possibility that Hannah was in the wrong place at the wrong time? Denny knows only one thing; he cannot rest until the woman he loves is found—hopefully alive.
Obviously the theme of adultery plays pretty prominently in Linda Alexander’s book, while even rape finds its way into the fold. I know some readers have issues with those topics, so if you find yourself to be among that majority, I don’t recommend this book. If you are thinking the book sounds totally romantic, I have to warn you to be prepared because in the end the book was more of an edge-of-your-seat suspense novel. If you are looking to head on a fictional ride that keeps you guessing, WEEKENDS IN NEW ENGLAND is a perfect choice.
Reviews for "Weekends In New England"
|Reviewed by Natalie Brown (Reader)
|I'm an avid reader of pretty much anything I can get my hands on and when I came across Linda Alexander's profile at MySpace and read up on her, I just had to buy one of her books. I mean, come on... someone who's interviewed Porn stars, battles Lupus AND has an incredibly interesting genealogy... there's got to be something cool pouring from that mind!
I picked up Weekends In New England and thought it was going to be a romance story and it was that and more. Wow, this book is a thriller! I read it in two sittings because I was fixated on finding out what was going to happen next.
There are two fairly emotionally complex characters at the center of this romance/mystery novel. Hannah is someone I think many women can relate to in that she's a bit naive and in a really difficult emotional and physical relationship. It's not the right situation for her, but before Denny Lorenzo sings his way into her soul, she's pretty much given up hope at things getting better for her husband and herself and almost resigns herself to that fact (NO Hannah, no!). Denny is a firecracker. Like many artists, he struggles between his ‘true self’ and his on stage 'persona'. He also finds himself in a bad marriage to someone whose character seems to be manipulative and vain. When Denny and Hannah meet and that soul connection spark flies... well, there is no stopping that sort of force.
What makes this book stand out is the twisted (and I seriously mean tuh-wis-tu-hed!) ending. I won't spoil it for you, but take it from someone who can usually predict the outcome of this sort of novel... I was totally taken aback when I learned out who was causing both Denny and Hannah much grief and Hannah's death. Woah mamma!
If you want an entertaining read that does make you look at your internal self while giving you frivolous pleasure at the same time, most definitely pick up this book.
|Reviewed by Ginger Marks
|Highly Recommend: Weekends In New England weaves a tale of marital fidelity in a way that makes you clearly understand the cruel reality of both sides of the coin. The harsh reality of the mix of faiths between Catholic and Jew is brought to light within the pages. Linda Alexander's spell binding telling compels you to read on. I warn you now, once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down until you reach the final unexpected ending.|
|Reviewed by Betty Lynch
|Linda Alexander is a very talented author who knows how to capture your attention from the first word! The suspense was so high that I could not stop reading. A wonderful book that I would highly recommend to others.|
|Reviewed by Doug Boren
|Linda Alexander had already proven herself to be an impeccably worthy author with the romantic thriller "Until Next Time". Now, "Weekends in New England" richly illustrates the trials and triumphs, the pitfalls and ecstasy of a forbidden love that somehow seems so right.
These days, it seems not too unusual for a man or woman to find their true love while unfortunately being married to someone else. This book examines the feelings of such a relationship. You can feel the heart strings being pulled, the inexorable pull of a love that is not yet clouded by passion, yet gives a life full of a passion that never existed before.
Denny and Hannah were worlds apart, and in many ways as different from each other as two people could be. But love is strange like that… not only do opposites attract, but sometimes it’s the differences that make a couple strong. As they go through the guilt, the deceptions, the longing and the waiting, Mrs. Alexander expertly weaves a story that you not only become engrossed in, but feel, in every heart rendering step. You can identify with them, even if you yourself have never been in their situation.
This is not a tawdry sex story. It is rather amazing to realize that Denny and Hannah never even do anything but talk or kiss while having their “affair” that takes them both down a stormy path of danger. The climax is surprising, and the conclusion is emotional. Kudos for the author who can so easily climb inside the mind and heart of both man and woman and paint us a picture that will stay with us long after the final page has been turned.

A bid was accepted, the player flew home, and a medical was taken. Today, Bournemouth put a bow on their £6M capture of 22-year-old Australian left back Brad Smith, officially announcing that he has joined Eddie Howe’s side on a permanent deal.
Smith, who grew up in Sydney, moved to England to join Liverpool as a youth player in 2008 and impressed as he moved through the ranks at the academy. He made his senior debut in 2013, making a substitute appearance in the second half against Chelsea on the road.
Though he didn’t look out of place in that match, Smith wouldn’t make it back onto the pitch that season, and he got his next taste of first team football in 2014-15 when he was loaned out to Swindon Town, where he made 10 total appearances for the League One side.
He returned to Liverpool hoping to negotiate an extended stay but wasn’t able to agree terms with the club, becoming a free agent last summer. Liverpool, though, retained his rights, meaning any club that signed him would have to pay training compensation.
Nobody did, and in the end he re-signed at Anfield, where he made 10 appearances and scored one goal. A major role at Liverpool, though, never seemed on the cards for Smith, and when the season ended the player was told he could look for a new club.
He found a willing suitor in Bournemouth, who felt confident enough in him to pay £6M. Liverpool, meanwhile, have protected themselves by adding in buyback and sell-on clauses, just as they did in the case of Jordon Ibe when Bournemouth bought him earlier in the summer.
“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity here,” Smith said following the confirmation of his Bournemouth move. “It all happened quite quickly. I knew there was a bit of interest and then they put the bid in, Liverpool accepted and we went from there really.
“Bournemouth did really well last season and I think the club can be a great team in the Premier League for many years to come. They’re just getting started really. I think it’ll be a good fit for me and I can’t wait to get going here.”

United Nations decision prompts potato celebration in Peru
Peruvian farmers are celebrating this month’s UN decision to declare 2008 the International Year of the Potato by planting the world’s largest collection of different varieties of the crop to showcase a novel approach to conservation that benefits and respects local communities.
They want to highlight the importance of conserving traditional crop varieties in the ground and keeping this biological diversity in the hands of the communities who have nurtured it over generations. And they say their approach could be replicated across the world with other highly diverse crops that are important for local food security.
The farmers are planting a new collection of native potato varieties at the ‘Potato Park’, an innovative collaboration between indigenous communities and the International Potato Center, a globally funded research institute.
By the end of October, when the work is done, the park will have 1,324 varieties of potato.
The park was created in 2005 to protect the genetic diversity of the region's many potato varieties, and the rights of indigenous people to access and use them. It involves six communities in the Sacred Valley of the Incas near the city of Cusco.
"We are very happy with the UN decision and the Peruvian government’s support for it as it recognises the fruits of Mother Earth and our work in protecting her," says Cristóbal Banda Mamani, president of the Potato Park.
The idea that the United Nations is dedicating a year to potatoes may seem bizarre but the crop is one of the four most important in the world. It has 5,500 distinct varieties - 4,000 in its centre of origin, Peru, alone - and is a source of food security and employment for 800 million people worldwide.
The local communities in Peru hope that the International Year of the Potato will prompt efforts to preserve and repatriate from research centres and gene banks the potato varieties that Andean communities developed over more than 8,000 years.
They says this is key because intellectual property rights, neoliberal development models, climate change and genetically modified crops all pose threats to the culture, ecology and livelihoods of Peru’s indigenous communities for whom the potato is more than just a staple crop.
"It is important to repatriate of seeds to their places of origin and return them to the communities who can use them to support local adaptation systems," said Alejandro Argumedo, director of Asociacion ANDES, a nongovernmental organisation that works with indigenous communities in Peru.
"The United Nations has honoured the humble potato in recognition of its global importance as a source of nutrition and livelihoods," he says. "We want to highlight the importance of traditional knowledge systems and customary laws that have allowed this crop to exist and to flourish around the world."
"By not only conserving the genetic variety of the potato, but also conserving the traditions, innovations and knowledge that led to this diversity - what we call bio-cultural heritage - we hope to maintain the unique ecological, social and cultural characteristics of the Andean region."
Michel Pimbert, director of the sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and livelihoods programme at IIED agrees: "The Potato Park is a living example of a system which could inspire a fresh approach to conserving genetic diversity in a dynamic way, that is based on justice and equity, and which respects, protects and preserves the biocultural heritage of communities."

It is impossible to achieve things in the country without pitting every political faction large and small into an argument against each other and against the political structure. Although some observers argue that this is an overstated problem, a small stick is enough to break the clockwork. Yet as the stick gets bigger it will become increasingly difficult to fix the watch.
The Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is facing significant challenges in this transitional phase of Egypt’s new political life. The facts on the ground do not suggest that his mission will be achieved quickly or with ease. This is not least because the remnants of the old regime have entrenched themselves in various aspects of the state that can influence public opinion, effect the decision making process and as a consequence influence the track of revolution and reform in the country.
The Egyptian public unfortunately still lacks an understanding that these changes need time and effort. Many people want to observe the fruits of radical changes within a couple of months, yet this is neither a logical nor a practical demand. Some Egyptians have even demanded an account of president Morsi’s engagements in the first 100 days of being in power, as they believed he didn’t get enough done.
As any observer of Egypt can point out, currently the biggest problem facing the country is the influence of the previous establishment in many of the strategic and vital power centers of the state and their effect in shaping public opinion. This situation makes it nearly impossible for the system to function naturally, let alone preventing radical decisions to be taken quickly. As a result it is impossible to achieve things in the country without plunging every political faction large and small into an argument against each other and against the political structure. Although some observers argue that this is an overstated problem, a small stick is enough to break the clockwork. Yet as the stick gets bigger it will become increasingly difficult to fix the watch. In short the institutions that have been formed in the past, preserve their influence and resist political change even actively fighting it. What is hard to understand is that they present the public with no alternative political plan and focus solely on the toppling of Morsi.
A Four Dimensional Obstacle
These institutions still have an influence mainly in four different aspects of the state: legal, economic, media and security.
The judicial level: The problems experienced while removing the public prosecutor Abdul Majid Mahmoud, shed light on the previous establishment’s power centers in the system. A court that had tried and released 24 of the most prominent and powerful figures in the Mubarak regime. These figures were charged and tried for their responsibility in the “Jamal (camel) incident”, where paid mercenaries by the regime charged at peaceful protestors on camel back armed with sticks resulting the death of several protestors.
President Morsi tried to discharge the public prosecutor, but he was surprised by his inability to do so. This was because according to the current law, which belongs to Mubarak’s era, no one can just dismiss the public prosecutor. This legal guarantee was enough to tie his hands. Furthermore this legal privilege gave the deep state and opportunity to support the prosecutor in question. Yet in the end Morsi succeeded in dismissing the prosecutor on 22 November.
The economic level: The importance of the economic influence the old regime has can be discerned by observing the role the corrupted economic elite plays in the country. In this sense the class of the most corrupted and powerful businessmen, who enriched themselves on the back of others, looting public funds and manipulating the laws all with the support afforded to them by the old regime, still exists. A large number of this economic elite still plays a sensitive role, acting in increasing solidarity and unison than previously. In an environment in which existing laws were designed to protect such people, it is difficult to instigate legal prosecution against them.
The media level: Supporters of the former regime occupy a wide chunk of the media sector in Egypt. There is no indication that the regime is taking measures to eliminate or minimize this influence. On the contrary, there is evidence of increasing support from the economic elite to the media sector. There are indications that this media power is being utilized against President Morsi and his colleagues. This power is directed towards the new administration, especially when they try to implement measures that would clean the country from remnants of the old regime. This causes the reform process in political, economic and security matters to slowdown and increases confusion in public opinion.
The security level: Lastly it is important to talk about certain military and security obstacles. There is no doubt that the Morsi’s dismissing of the leaders of the Military Council that ran the country after the toppling of Mubarak, also known as the “old guards”, can be described as Morsi’s biggest achievement in terms of putting Egypt back on the track of democracy. However these reforms are not sufficient as they target solely the leaders of a very powerful deep state structure. The people working within the ranks of the intelligence, police and army are still largely made up of supporters of the old regime. The state doesn’t have the staff to replace these people, and is for now dependent on the staff of the old regime. This presents an important obstacle to cross.
The laws and regulations in Egypt still shackle President Morsi and his government because they were designed in a way to fit the former regime, not the current one. These factors that delay the transitional period, reforms and stability and increase the political polarization in Egypt, give the deep state and the supporters of the former regime hope to disrupt the march towards democracy through a complex process of adaptation to the new reality in new ways and new methods.
On the other hand, till now, the president’s actions and his government don’t give the impression of an organized plan to root out the deep state and clean the old center of powers. Despite some actions presenting the impression of such a plan, this was more often than not an exception.
To sum up, what can be said about Egypt is that the road still long, difficult and especially hard for the Egyptian people. The strong polarization that currently exists between different groups only makes it harder. This polarization can only be seen as a waste of time and effort for everyone and doesn’t help reaching the new Egypt. No matter what happens it is imperative that the revolution be completed.

Call it Melo madness.
The city is abuzz with news that one of the NBA's top scorers, four-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony will make his debut as a New York Knick at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. The team has not confirmed whether he will take the court.
Tickets for the Wednesday 7:30 p.m. game against the Milwaukee Bucks have gone up 260 percent with the highest ticket price at StubHub going for $855 as of Wednesday afternoon.
Anthony is already getting a hearty New York welcome: the Carnegie Deli has named a gut-busting pastrami monstrosity, The "Melo Sandwich," after his namesake (pastrami, corned beef, salami, bacon, tomato and Russian dressing on rye goes for $21.95 pictured here)
He, along with fellow Nugget Chauncey Billups, were acquired through a trade in which the Knicks parted with four rotation players under 26-years old, $6 million and four draft picks.
Speaking before Wednesday night’s game, Anthony said he recognizes that it takes time to develop team chemistry, and didn’t expect to win a championship overnight, but “at the end of the day we’re moving in the right direction.”
“I’ve felt like I want to be part of an organization, part of a team who has some upside and knew what the future was holding,” he said. “It’s a dream come true and I’m ready to rock.”
There are only 28 games left in the regular season.
Anthony's return to New York is somewhat of a homecoming. The 6-foot-8 small forward was born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, but grew up in Baltimore. Anthony, 26, attended Syracuse University, but left after his freshman year. He led the team to a national championship and was named most valuable player. He was the third draft pick for the Denver Nuggets in 2003.
When asked how he felt sharing the court and limelight with Knick star, Amare Stoudemire, Anthony said, “if anyone of you guys were GMs or owners you’d want me and Amare on the same team as well. I don’t know who would turn that down.”
Melo will be swapping his Nugget's No. 15 for a No. 7 jersey.

One way for EA games to promote this game was to make fake Presidential electoral ads with President Ackerman, since because the game was released in 2008, an American Presidential election year. The slogan for Ackerman's election was "Screw 'em all". After the election, commandandconquer.com even made a concession speech from President Ackerman. See more
The Soviets try to eliminate Einstein before he can help the Alliesby creating weapons that far surpass the Soviets. But what the Soviets don't know is that Einstein is what also created the time machine (which he used to eliminate Hitler before he formed the Nazi party and thus triggered the European theater of World War 2), so eliminating him would create a time paradox and thus would erase even the soviet created time machine.

- Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Dramatic Reading)
Download the book
Growing up on the banks of the Mississippi river, a mischievous boy named Tom Sawyer spends his days getting into one scrape after another. Tom's constant cleverness, superstition, trickery, and daring make him a handful to raise, and his Aunt Polly declares that she has "never seen the beat of that boy!" Tom is essentially good-hearted, however, but when he is witness to a horrible crime, his courage and integrity are tested beyond anything he ever expected. A note to parents: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is considered a children's classic, but contains racial slurs which, although "acceptable" in the time and place of the story's setting, will likely offend modern listeners.

Understanding the different types of pain can make it easier for you to talk to your doctor and describe your symptoms. Read on to learn about some of the main types of pain and how they feel.
Acute pain is short-term pain that comes on suddenly and has a specific cause, usually tissue injury. Generally, it lasts for fewer than six months and goes away once the underlying cause is treated.
Acute pain tends to start out sharp or intense before gradually improving.
Common causes of acute pain include:
- broken bones
- dental work
- labor and childbirth
Pain that lasts for more than six months, even after the original injury has healed, is considered chronic.
While past injuries or damage can cause chronic pain, sometimes there’s no apparent cause.
Without proper management, chronic pain can start to impact your quality of life. As a result, people living with chronic pain may develop symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Other symptoms that can accompany chronic pain include:
- tense muscles
- lack of energy
- limited mobility
Some common examples of chronic pain include:
- frequent headaches
- nerve damage pain
- low back pain
- arthritis pain
- fibromyalgia pain
Nociceptive pain is the most common type of pain. It’s caused by stimulation of nociceptors, which are pain receptors for tissue injury.
You have nociceptors throughout your body, especially in your skin and internal organs. When they’re stimulated by potential harm, such as a cut or other injury, they send electrical signals to your brain, causing you to feel the pain.
This type of pain you usually feel when you have any type of injury or inflammation. Nociceptive pain can be either acute or chronic. It can also be further classified as being either visceral or somatic.
Visceral pain results from injuries or damage to your internal organs. You can feel it in the trunk area of your body, which includes your chest, abdomen, and pelvis. It’s often hard to pinpoint the exact location of visceral pain.
Visceral pain is often described as:
You may also notice other symptoms such as nausea or vomiting, as well as changes in body temperature, heart rate, or blood pressure.
Examples of things that cause visceral pain include:
- irritable bowel syndrome
Somatic pain results from stimulation of the pain receptors in your tissues, rather than your internal organs. This includes your skin, muscles, joints, connective tissues, and bones. It’s often easier to pinpoint the location of somatic pain rather than visceral pain.
Somatic pain usually feels like a constant aching or gnawing sensation.
It can be further classified as either deep or superficial:
- Deep somatic pain is felt in your joints, tendons, bones, and muscle. It’s often described as aching.
- Superficial somatic pain is felt in your skin and mucus membranes. It may feel sharp or throbbing.
For example, a tear in a tendon will cause deep somatic pain, while a canker sore on your inner check causes superficial somatic pain.
Examples of somatic pain include:
- bone fractures
- strained muscles
- connective tissue diseases, such as osteoporosis
- cancer that affects the skin or bones
- skin cuts, scrapes, and burns
- joint pain, including arthritis pain
Neuropathic pain results from damage to or dysfunction of your nervous system. This results in damaged or dysfunctional nerves misfiring pain signals. This pain seems to come out of nowhere, rather than in response to any specific injury.
You may also feel pain in response to things that aren’t usually painful, such as cold air or clothing against your skin.
Neuropathic pain is described as:
- electric shocks
Diabetes is a common cause of neuropathic pain. Other sources of nerve injury or dysfunction that can lead to neuropathic pain include:
- chronic alcohol consumption
- facial nerve problems, such as Bell’s palsy
- spinal nerve inflammation or compression
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- central nervous system disorders, such as multiple sclerosisor Parkinson’s disease
- chemotherapy drugs
Pain is a very personal experience that varies from person to person. What feels very painful to one person may only feel like mild pain to another. And other factors, such as your emotional state and overall physical health, can play a big role in how you feel pain.
Describing your pain accurately can make it easier for your doctor to find the cause of your pain and recommend the right treatment. If possible, write down details of your pain before your appointment to help you be as clear as possible.
Here are some things your doctor will want to know:
- how long you’ve had the pain
- how often your pain occurs
- what brought on your pain
- what activities or movements make your pain better or worse
- where you feel the pain
- whether your pain is localized to one spot or spread out
- if your pain comes and goes or is constant
Be sure to use words that best describes the type of pain you feel.
Here are a few words to consider using:
Keeping a pain diary to track your symptoms can also be helpful. Take note of things like:
- when it starts
- how long it lasts
- how it feels
- where you feel it
- how severe it is on a scale of 1 to 10
- what brought on or triggered the pain
- what, if anything, made it better
- any medications or treatments used
If you do keep a pain diary, make sure to bring it along to your next doctor’s appointment.

4 fascinating tales behind the already spectacular McLaren F1
The McLaren F1 has become the gold standard of the supercar world. With just 106 produced, each of the eccentric center-seat exotics has been thoroughly documented. From those tales there are few more interesting than others. Sure, we could talk about the BMW-sourced V-12 engines and odd seat location, but those traits have been talked about for years. Instead, YouTube Car Throttle dug up four interesting McLaren F1 stories for us to enjoy.
The opener is the saga of one of the best-known F1s. Its custom dark burgundy color is the giveaway that this is the twice-crashed supercar once owned by Rowan Atkinson. Luckily, that’s just the opening story of this short video, because there are certainly more interesting tales to be told.
The stories that follow that one only get juicier. Mercedes-Benz buying a private car for use in developing a race car in the 1990s is one thing, but the Sultan of Brunei purchasing 10 to add to an already extensive collection, and a Japanese businessman who just had to have his name on the side of one competing in the 24 hours of Le Mans, now that’s a whole different ballgame—and likely one most enthusiasts haven’t heard.
F1 values have skyrocketed since McLaren’s initial struggle to sell them in the early 1990s. Most of us will never have the chance to drive one in anger, but it is always fun to learn that the tales behind some of the most iconic collector cars are just as twisted and interesting as those of any other used car.

The freedom to marry comes to West Virginia
October 09, 2014
West Virginia is the latest state to secure the freedom to marry after the state's Attorney General and Governor agreed to stop defending the state's discriminatory marriage ban, paving the way for same-sex couples to soon be issued marriage licenses.
Today, October 9, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey announced that he would stop defending the state's marriage ban, consistent with the 4th Circuit's ruling in favor of the freedom to marry. This decision came days after the Supreme Court denied review in 5 cases involving the freedom to marry, including a ruling from the 4th Circuit in Virginia, which is binding for several states including West Virginia.
Attorney General Morrissey said:
“As the state’s Attorney General, it is my duty to defend state laws that have been passed by the state Legislature and are consistent with the Constitution. We have discharged this duty faithfully. In the upcoming days, we will now seek to bring to a close the pending litigation over West Virginia’s marriage laws, consistent with the Fourth Circuit’s now-binding decision.
West Virginia's Governor Earl Ray Tomblin added:
"I do not plan to take any actions that would seek to overturn the courts’ decisions. West Virginia will uphold the law according to these rulings, and I have directed state agencies to take appropriate action to make that possible. Our state is known for its kindness and hospitality to residents and visitors alike. I encourage all West Virginians—regardless of their personal beliefs—to uphold our statewide tradition of treating one another with dignity and respect.”
The case that the Attorney General's office seeks to bring to a close is McGee v. Cole, filed by Lambda Legal on behalf of three same-sex couples seeking the freedom to marry in their home state.
Morrissey is the 12th Attorney General in 11 states to refuse defending a marriage ban, following Attorneys General in California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Nevada, Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Missouri. In several other states, including Maryland, New York, and Arkansas, Attorneys General have voiced their support for the freedom to marry for same-sex couples.
Freedom to Marry congratulates West Virginia and Lambda Legal on this historic victory, and expects that it will pave the way for the rest of the 4th Circuit.

Learning and disciplinary proceedings for North Wales Police following investigation into contact with Nicholas Churton
Our investigation into North Wales Police’s contact with murder victim Nicholas Churton has identified cases to answer for misconduct for two officers and urged the force to review procedures in recognising vulnerability.
Mr Churton was found dead in his home in Wrexham on 27 March 2017. Jordan Davidson admitted his murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
We have completed our investigation into NWP contact with Mr Churton in the 11 days prior to his death including their response to his call that a man called Jordan had been in his home. We are continuing a second investigation into NWP’s contact with Davidson following his release from prison on licence in December 2016 in the period leading up to the murder of Mr Churton.
Our first investigation has found that Mr Churton called NWP on 14 March 2017 to report that two days earlier he had been threatened with a hammer in his home by a man called Jordan who tried to steal his television and stole his house keys. Later that day, a police officer called Mr Churton back to take further details about Jordan.
The officer recorded the incident as theft rather than as a robbery which may have influenced the level of threat and the risk assessment made in respect of Mr Churton. Details of a neighbour identified by Mr Churton who may have had more information about Davidson were not recorded and vulnerability factors were not correctly identified despite there being a number of issues to indicate Mr Churton was vulnerable.
The occurrence on the incident log was viewed by three further supervisors who also failed to identify that the circumstances amounted to a robbery and not a theft.
On 21 March, 2017, the same police officer called Mr Churton again to obtain further details about ‘Jordan’ and advised him that he should speak to his friends to try to find out the suspect’s details himself.
Mr Churton called NWP on 23 March 2017 to tell them the full name was Jordan Davidson. Four days later, he was found dead at his home and Davidson was arrested for murder.
IOPC Director for Wales Catrin Evans said: “This was a horrific murder and the responsibility for Mr Churton’s death lies squarely with Jordan Davidson. My thoughts remain with Mr Churton’s family and friends.
“Our first investigation found there were areas for improvement in police recognising Mr Churton’s vulnerability and ensuring all available information was recorded accurately. Police requesting a vulnerable victim of crime carry out a line of enquiry themselves to find out who the offender was, has, in my view, the potential to increase the risk to the victim.
“I am discussing the learning identified during the course of this investigation with North Wales Police. We are progressing our further enquiries into how the force handled Davidson after his release from prison and their liaison with other agencies.”
Following our investigation, NWP has agreed that a police officer has a case to answer for misconduct over allegations that the log in relation to the incident on 12 March was inaccurate, key information was omitted and that the officer’s risk assessment did not adequately take into account Mr Churton’s vulnerability.
The force also agreed a police sergeant has a case to answer for misconduct for allegedly failing to identify the urgency of the response needed in the circumstances in reviewing the officer’s actions. NWP will hold misconduct meetings for the two officers in due course.
In the light of our investigation, NWP has agreed to review their policies and procedures in recognising vulnerability, grading and resourcing and making use of intelligence. NWP has already undertaken work in some of these areas since referring Mr Churton’s death in March 2017.
While not amounting to misconduct, performance issues were identified for another police sergeant and an acting inspector for their supervision and they are being dealt with by the force by way of management action.
A call handler who took the initial call on 14 March 2017 left their role in August 2018. We are unable to make case to answer determinations in relation to their involvement with Mr Churton as a member of Police Staff.
We will consider publishing our investigation reports at the end of the second investigation and after any potential misconduct proceedings.

Arguably one of the most endearing qualities of Jackson Hole is that it is a year-round recreation hotspot. As much as we love the warmer seasons, there are many things to do in Jackson Hole during a winter retreat. While there is still plenty of ideal weather for fishing, hiking, and golf, we know many outdoor enthusiasts are anxiously awaiting skiing, snowmobiling, and sleigh rides. In a couple of months, the snow will begin to blanket the alpine forests and meadows, lending itself to a bevy of whimsical winter adventures. At Fireside Resort, we know the importance of a rejuvenating winter retreat and how challenging it can be to plan one. As such, we put together a brief list to help you navigate the myriad of available options.
Jackson Hole Winter Activities
With its towering mountain landscape and proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, it's no surprise that the Jackson Hole area is "Wyoming's Playground." With pretty much every winter sport available, you won't be limited to enjoying yourself in spring, summer, and fall. Because there are so many great Jackson Hole winter activities, deciding how to spend your winter retreat can sometimes be overwhelming. Our list of possibilities will help you make an educated choice.
Cross country skiing is a great pastime for exploration and conditioning, especially for those who enjoy hiking, jogging and running. The folks at JH Nordic have extensive knowledge on finding the best trails, among other resources.
Downhill skiing and snowboarding are a massive draw for those hoping for an extreme winter retreat. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Grand Targhee Resort, and Snow King Mountain are all excellent destinations.
Snowmobiling might be the only thing more extreme than snowboarding and downhill skiing in these parts, so if you're looking for an adrenaline rush, reach out to Togwotee Adventures to "pull the throttle on adventure!"
On the other hand, sleigh rides offer a tranquil experience for those desiring a more relaxing glimpse of the snow-covered Tetons. Mill Iron Ranch will amaze you with awe-inspiring tours filled with tales of old west escapades and exciting wildlife.

text: Research at Kansas State University indicates that heavier stocking rates early in the season can increase beef production per acre. Range scientist Keith Harmoney, who is conducting the study at K-State’s Agricultural Research Center at Hays, says, “The key is having a slightly greater stocking density while the grass is immature and actively growing, and then removing the heaviest animals during the last half of the grazing season.” The ongoing research indicates that using 1.6 times the normal recommended stocking density early in the season, followed by removing the heaviest animals in the last half of the grazing season, increased beef production 25 percent on a land area basis compared to continuous season-long stocking. The system could provide financial flexibility by allowing producers to market animals at two different periods through the year. Dr. Harmoney says the net return over five years was approximately $13 per acre more with the modified stocking system than with the continuous season-long stocking system. He adds that although animal-gain data looks positive, the study has not been in place for enough time to evaluate long-term affects on rangeland conditions and sustainability.

I made two pans of lasagna, one I froze, the
other I took camping. I used rigatoni noodles
and put it in 9 x 9 pans. We have never used our oven in the travel trailer because it makes it too hot, so I put the toaster oven outside, placed the lasagna (covered with foil) in it and baked it at 350 degrees for 45 minutes....... perfect. Prepare ahead of time, bake and no clean up. my kinda' dish! You could also use an electric skillet, just drop the foil pan down in the skillet...... still no clean up.
