NEW YORK — New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson says his team is a contender for the NBA title.
That might be true in the sense that the Knicks (35-21) could finish as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and reach the conference finals.
But whether it's the third-place Knicks, the second-place Indiana Pacers (37-22) or even the surprising Chicago Bulls (34-25) without Derrick Rose, unseating the defending champion Miami Heat as the best in the East will be a monumental task.
BREAKTHROUGH: Heat finally beat Knicks
After a sluggish first half Sunday at Madison Square Garden that included 8-for-19 shooting from the field in the second quarter and six turnovers, the Heat dismantled the Knicks over the final 24 minutes and won 99-93. Capping the scoring with an exclamation point was a powerful, one-handed dunk by LeBron James.
The Heat (43-14) have a seven-game lead on the Pacers and are 7½ up on the Knicks. The first victory against New York in three meetings this season extended Miami's winning streak to a franchise record-tying 14 games.
They won with an impressive display of offense and defense in the second half, led by James, who had 29 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a blocked shot.
MAGIC'S MILLION: LeBron weighs dunk offer
"His motor is limitless, and I don't want to take it for granted," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of James.
The Heat don't have it wrapped up; they are 0-2 vs. the Pacers, whom they'll host Sunday. But in a seven-game series, it's getting harder to see a team in the East beating the Heat. Still, as USA TODAY Sports takes a look at five teams most likely to win the NBA championship this season, the Knicks make the list.
MIAMI HEAT: Wade, supporting cast hitting stride
James is in great position to collect his fourth MVP award because more impressive than his stats — 27.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals a game — is his command of the game. He seemingly always makes the right play and rarely forces a shot, and it has resulted in the best shooting percentage of his career from the field (56.3%) and on three-pointers (41%).
Dwyane Wade is also having a fantastic season now that his left knee is healthy after surgery in July. It's the best he has felt in two seasons, and it shows. For a superstar not considered the best player on his team, his numbers aren't bad: 23.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.3 blocks a game in February.
"When I'm out there with LeBron and (Chris Bosh), I'm more of a playmaker," Wade said of the Big Three. "When those guys are not in, I'm more of an attacker, more of a scorer."
REINFORCEMENT: Heat bring back veteran big man
Miami is even more dangerous when Shane Battier, Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers are making shots.
But just as important, if not more important, than offense, the Heat are rounding into the defensive team that made them champions last season. They can win at home or on the road and by playing different styles.
"We are winning at all facets of the game, and we want to try to continue it," James said.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS: Parker injury puts young guards to test
For a month, the team with the best record (47-14 after Sunday's 114-75 win vs. the Detroit Pistons) will have to hold off the hard-charging Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers without point guard Tony Parker, who was in the MVP discussion the last few weeks.
Parker, who led the Spurs with 21 points and 7.6 assists a game, will be out for a month — an estimated 14 games — with a Grade 2 ankle sprain.
BALANCE: Spurs blow apart Pistons without Parker
Coach Gregg Popovich will use Nando De Colo, Cory Joseph and Patrick Mills at the point and probably will slide over shooting guard Manu Ginobili (who had a career-high 15 assists in Friday's 28-point win vs. the Sacramento Kings, when Parker was hurt). The Spurs are 8-7 over the last three seasons when Parker is out.
San Antonio will face nine teams that not only have winning records but also are solid playoff teams. The final four in that stretch: the Denver Nuggets, Clippers, Heat and Memphis Grizzlies.
"We've played with all different kinds of people throughout this year," All-Star forward Tim Duncan said. "We're going to rally. Pop is going to change some lineups. We're obviously not going to replace (Parker). But we're going to have to change the way we play for a little while."

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS: Paul makes team click and contend
Of all the star players who succeeded in getting traded for a better situation, Chris Paul stands alone in making the most of his move.
With his team having won eight of the last 10 after Sunday's 108-104 home loss to the Thunder, the player who came to Los Angeles from the New Orleans Hornets before last season has the Clippers (43-19) in the hunt for their first NBA title.
CHEAP SHOT: Griffin takes below-the-belt hit
The question with the Clippers, though, is whether they can play their up-tempo style in the postseason, when the pace typically slows. Their active defense is the key, as it often kick-starts their offense that struggles in a halfcourt set.
Paul is far and away the biggest reason they must be taken seriously, averaging 16.4 points, 9.5 assists and 2.5 steals to help turn around the organization. It all begins and ends with him: The Clippers are 6-6 with Paul sidelined.
The Blake Griffin-DeAndre Jordan frontcourt continues to be a good fit; Griffin has a team-high 18.5-point average and Jordan adds 8.8 points and 7.0 rebounds a game. Depth is unparalleled, with Jamal Crawford (17.0-point average), a sixth man of the year contender, and veterans such as Chauncey Billups, Lamar Odom and Matt Barnes and third-year guard Eric Bledsoe playing key roles.
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER: Vulnerability trumped only by potential
Even after Sunday's win, the reigning Western Conference champions have looked vulnerable of late, playing just better than .500 over the last six weeks.
But even after the James Harden trade with the Houston Rockets in October and Kevin Martin coming aboard, the Thunder (43-16) aren't going anywhere just yet for two reasons: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
BATTLE: Thunder come back from Clippers surge
DURANT: Why he should enter dunk contest
The league's best duo is better than ever this season and will be there at the end again as long as the rest of the offense doesn't disappear. For as good as Durant (28.6-point average) and Westbrook (23.4) have been — ranked second in offensive efficiency — the scoring options thin out after Martin and Serge Ibaka.
Martin (14.5-point average) has been as good a fit as they could have found because of his shooting range and the efficiency in his game. But can he and Ibaka deliver in the playoffs and keep the heat off the Thunder's dynamic duo? The Thunder have progressed quite remarkably for three seasons in a row, from a first-round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, to the Western Conference finals, to last season's Finals loss to Miami. Can they make the last step?
NEW YORK KNICKS: With Anthony at his best, anything's possible
The Knicks of the first six weeks of the season — they were a conference-best 18-5 — aren't the Knicks of the last 10 weeks. They've slipped from atop the Eastern Conference in the early run to third place.
The Knicks aren't the same top-five defensive team they were last season, but it's not their defense that is a concern.
In the first 23 games, New York was an efficient scoring machine, the NBA's No. 2 offense, behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. Three-pointers were going in at a 41% clip. The offense has slowed, especially on three-pointers; the team is shooting 37% from behind the arc for the season.
What they have in their favor is a solid defense anchored by center Tyson Chandler (11.3 rebounds a game). And even with the offensive woes, when Carmelo Anthony (28.6-point average) is on the floor, the Knicks have the potential to put up big numbers.
There are signs the offense can turn it around. Forward Amar'e Stoudemire (13.6-point average) is contributing, and Jason Kidd broke out of his three-point shooting slump Sunday, making four of five against the Heat.
"There's not a team in this league we can't beat, and we can be beaten by any team if we don't come ready to play," Woodson said. "I like where we are as a ballclub. Could we be better? Absolutely."
A tough March schedule will reveal answers.
Of New York's remaining 16 games this month, nine are against teams that appear to be headed to the postseason.

Baghdad, IRAQ - Senior research fellow, Brian J. Grim, paints a harrowing picture of the ongoing persecution of Iraqi Christians. The research expert on religion and world affairs with the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life in Washington, D.C. reports that the situation for Christians in Iraq is worsening.
"It is no small irony, of course, that the Shiite majority that's now a leading force in Iraq was brutalized and suppressed under Saddam, who extensively curbed the Shiites' religious freedoms. A State Department report in 2002 said Saddam's government 'severely restricts or bans outright many Shiite religious practices.' One might think that those fresh memories would be enough to ensure liberties for Iraq's religious minorities today. Yet that appears not to be the case," writes Grim in his report.
Iraqi Christians are part of historic indigenous communities that have been in what is now Iraq nearly since the time of Christ, several centuries before Islam came to the region. The majority of them are Chaldean Christians, an ancient religious group affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.
Grim points out what's particularly devastating for Iraq's religious minorities is the lack of clear legal protections for religious freedom. Although Article 2 of the Iraqi Constitution guarantees religious freedom, it also contains what some have termed a "repugnancy clause," which states, "No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established." Because the clause does not explicitly state what the "established provisions of Islam" encompass or exclude, this opens the door for the state and the courts to become theological arbiters. As such, there are no formal avenues for religious minorities to participate in the process.
Furthermore, Article 89 of the constitution stipulates that the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court include experts in Islamic jurisprudence, which means that the provision in Article 2 will be supported by a court system with people specifically employed to interpret Islamic law. These people can be appointed without having civil law training.
The nature and extent of the violations of religious freedom were not only severe, they also were tolerated by the government and, in some cases, committed by forces within the government. As such, a bipartisan U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom included Iraq on a "watch list" of countries where religious liberty is severely threatened.
Religious leaders have made numerous attempts to broker resolutions. In 2007, American president George W. Bush recounted, the pontiff " was concerned that the society that was evolving (in Iraq) would not tolerate the Christian religion."
Indeed, Iraqi Christians have continued to find themselves in the cross hairs of faith-inspired violence. The worst episodes have occurred in regions with diverse ethnic and religious groups, such as Baghdad and Mosul, where the majority of Iraq's Christians live. The State Department reported last year that Muslim extremists "warned Christians living in Baghdad's Dora district to convert, leave or be killed."
Commission representatives recently visited Iraq. Among other things, they are assessing whether religious freedom is threatened due to possible collusion between Shiite militias and Iraqi government ministries, and whether the country's smallest religious minorities are being marginalized by government officials and parastate militias. If Iraqi government's culpability in violations of religious freedom continues, Iraq would join the likes of Burma, Iran, North Korea and Sudan.
The political and social consequences of this oppression will need to be addressed by the new U.S. administration, whichever party wins the White House in November. An Iraq that truly honors and protects religious freedom would be a benchmark of success that all Americans — and no doubt both parties — would applaud.

A spring outfit combo for women that just can't go wrong? Denim jackets and pretty spring dresses. We dropped the hint in our denim dose this morning, and this time we'll say it with gusto: pairing something pretty with something a little rock'n'roll, a little industrial, a little bad-ass? That equals a balanced, nicely contrasted look (which translates into stylish intrigue). Kristin Cavallari illustrated this point perfectly when she recently wore a cropped Levi's jacket over a long white dress. Perfection. Check out a few of our favorite pairings below.
Look 1: Notify Denim Jacket + Thakoon Grey Knit Dress
Look 2: Topshop Moto Sleeveless Denim Jacket + The Ava Lace Dress in Coral
Look 3: Madewell Denim Jacket + Mint Green Strapless Dress
Look 4: Topshop Moto Pink Denim Vest + Moondance Dress In Ivory
Look 5: Current/Elliott Red Denim Jacket + Rare Pastel Stripe Dip Hem Dress
Share your favorite pairings on our facebook wall!

The 7.62x39mm cartridge was introduced in 1943 and chambered originally in the RPD Light Machine Gun as well as the SKS Rifle. Not much later, the entry of the iconic AK47 into service for the Soviet Military ensured the 7.62x39 would have a place in service for many years to come. The cartridge has been employed in militaries around the globe and is used by many police officers and civilians.
This cartridge is comparable to the .30-30 Winchester having a similar bullet diameter and weight. The comparison is not entirely accurate, however, as the .30-30 is able to fire heavier bullets at higher velocities. Even so, the 7.62x39 remains an effective cartridge
for taking medium game like deer as far out as 200 yards. The effectiveness of the cartridge increases by using widely available soft point bullets and hollow point bullets.
A major advantage of 7.62x39 ammunition is that it is available in nearly every corner of the globe. All the major manufacturers of ammunition produce this cartridge, and is easy to find as a military surplus item. Having been mass produced by the Soviets, the Eastern Bloc countries and even China, AK47 rifles and SKS rifles have been employed in almost every part of the planet. This global availability of the rifles has created a massive demand for 7.62x39mm ammunition. Surplus cartridges are especially popular, as they are comparatively inexpensive and are packaged in steel, airtight cases which protect the ammo from moisture and greatly extends the storage life.
When asked to name a firearm chambered for the 7.62x39 cartridge, most shooters will normally respond by mentioning the AK47 or SKS, but there are actually several other commercially available rifles in bolt action and single shot configurations as well. Firing military surplus ammunition from these civilian rifles will generally yield a better group than can be obtained from the military rifles. Ammunition manufacturers, however, know that this cartridge is also used in sporting applications, and they produce several options in their premium hunting lines whose accuracy is reportedly sub minute-of-angle from the right rifle.

"Obviously the Federal government needs to take action, the Federal government needs an assault weapons ban and to close the gun show loopholes. But we as lawmakers in Massachusetts have the responsibility to do the best we possibly can in Massachusetts and there's a lot we can do as well."
Linksy spoke with reporters after hosting a crowded, closed door meeting with more than 100 lawmakers from both parties. He says they were hashing out different ideas about ways to prevent gun violence. One new idea to emerge from the meeting is requiring gun owners to buy liability insurance, just like car owners:
The idea is that people most likely to commit a gun crime would be charged high rates, in the hopes of discouraging gun ownership. Linsky says lawmakers also talked about a policy in Hawaii, where those seeking gun permits must sign mental health waivers to give Chiefs of Police permission to obtain mental health records from their doctors. Governor Deval Patrick says all ideas should be on the table:
Patrick has already proposed limiting gun purchases to one per month to stop straw purchasers or traffickers who buy a lot of cheap handguns to sell on the streets. Both House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray listed addressing gun violence as a top priority in the new legislative session.

Applying for disability can seem like an intimidating process. Many people believe that the Social Security Administration (SSA) will turn you down a few times before you get approved, but this is not true. 30% of applicants get approved on their initial application and following these simple steps can increase your chances of being in this 30%.
You should apply for disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. It can take a long time to process an application for benefits (three to five months depending on your state) so do not delay when applying.
It is strongly advised that you retain a lawyer or non-lawyer representative to help you through the process. They should be able to help you present evidence and testimony in a persuasive and organized fashion. Although the hearings are not very technical, it is best to put on a presentation rather than just answering questions
Caring Voice Coalition (CVC) offers free disability assistance to PH patients to support them through the various stages of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application process. Their patient advocates coordinate supporting evidence, assess eligibility, submit claims for benefits and draft arguments.
Start keeping detailed records that recount your personal experience with pulmonary hypertension, or any other debilitating disease:
While you are recording your personal experience, you should also be gathering additional information to submit in the disability application. You will need:
When you are filling out your application, remember that you are putting a presentation together and not just answering questions. Here are a few tips:
If you have high speed internet access and reasonable writing skills, then the best way to file is online. If you complete your own online application, you know exactly what is in it and you are not under time constraints. If you have difficulty navigating the website, or with writing things down, try to find someone with those skills to help.
If you'd rather not file online, call the national toll-free number (800)772-1213 or your local Social Security office to schedule an appointment to apply over the phone or in office. After your appointment, you will get a copy of the report they submit with your application. Be sure to read the entire report and if there are errors, refuse to sign it until those errors are corrected.
Start your SSD application now
After anyone else has helped you fill out forms, whether it's SSA or a representative like Caring Voice Coalition, ask Social Security for printouts of everything that was submitted right away. Then proofread them carefully to make sure the written reports match the truth of your case and include all medical evidence about your condition.
Regardless of how astute and professional your representative is, there is still room for misinterpretation between what you say and what someone else hears. Take the trouble to get it right before the evaluation begins. It will save far more time, effort and delay down the road.

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Nashbar Presta Tube 700x35/38:
Good innertubes for the price. Never had an issue. Main thing is that you have good quality tires (e.g., Schwalbe). Quality of innertubes is secondary; main thing is that you have plenty!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By JcVaBeach
from Virginia Beach, VA
Doing a spring tuneup, I purchased and installed a new Michelin Pilot with one of these tubes. Just as I reached the maximum inflation pressure of 6 bars, the tube failed catastrophically.I automatically chalked it up to something I did and remounted and inflated the tire with the second identical tube I purchased. I left it inflated for a week before re-installing the tire on my bike. Within half an hour of installation and re-inflation, I head a 'Pop! Hisss!". Yup. This tube failed also.I have reviewed the circumstances of both failures for operator error (me) and equipment error and came up negative.Sad end to this tale is that the fee for the postage paid return is greater than the cost of the two tubes together.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Super tube cheap.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Was having many flats riding on the city streets and the rough backroads here in Hilo.Since installing these tubes along with Michelin Pilot Tracker tires(purchased from Nashbar also)I have not had a single flat. This combo is working just fine.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a multi-symptom, multi-system syndrome that remain poorly understood. It was called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) when I first learned about it. I admit I still tend to call it RSD.
Historical Review
In 1864 Silas Weir Mitchell published his findings on gunshot wounds of nerves in a now classic article (2nd ref below). Then in 1867, Mitchell called this condition causalgia from the Greek word meaning "burning pain". Mitchell described the condition well, but was unaware of the etiologic connection to the sympathetic nervous system. Over the years other authors who did make the connection of the vascular and nervous systems in this condition have suggested names such as neurovascular dystrophy, post-traumatic vasomotor disorders, sympathetic neurovascular dystrophy, post-traumatic vasospasm, postinfarctional sclero-dactyly, traumatic angiospasm, causalgic state, minor causalgia, mimo-causalgia, and Sudeck's atrophy. It was in 1967 after Richards article (3rd reference) that the term reflex sympathetic dystrophy began to be used.
In 1995, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) decided that the terms complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type I and type II were better than the respective names reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia. The term "Complex" was added to convey the reality that this condition expresses varied signs and symptoms.
What is RSD / CRPS?
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) lists the diagnostic criteria for complex regional pain syndrome I (CRPS I) (RSDS) as follows:
- The presence of an initiating noxious event or a cause of immobilization
- Continuing pain, allodynia (perception of pain from a nonpainful stimulus), or hyperalgesia disproportionate to the inciting event
- Evidence at some time of edema, changes in skin blood flow, or abnormal sudomotor activity in the area of pain
- The diagnosis is excluded by the existence of any condition that would otherwise account for the degree of pain and dysfunction.
According to the IASP, CRPS II (also known as causalgia) is diagnosed as follows:
- The presence of continuing pain, allodynia, or hyperalgesia after a nerve injury, not necessarily limited to the distribution of the injured nerve
- Evidence at some time of edema, changes in skin blood flow, or abnormal sudomotor activity in the region of pain
- The diagnosis is excluded by the existence of any condition that would otherwise account for the degree of pain and dysfunction.
The primary difference between type I and type II is the identification of a definable nerve injury. For more information check this eMedicine article and this website (RSD Foundation). You will also find a nice video animation on the RSD Foundation site that shows how an injury might trigger RSD / CRPS.
The cornerstone in the treatment of RSD / CRPS is normal use of the affected part as much as possible. This is done through education, pain control, and physical therapy. (photo credit)
The RSD Foundation is a site full of information. There you will find not only the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (Third Edition): The Clinical Practice Guidelines have become the standard for diagnosis and management of RSD / CRPS, but also videos of Sympathetic Nerve Blocks. If you have an interest in RSD / CRPS, I would strongly suggest their site.

Here are the winning recipes from this month's Wild Mushroom Recipe Contest, sponsored in part by Wild Oats Natural Marketplace. This recipe comes from Mark Patel, a CIA graduate from Hyde Park, N.Y., and the Executive Sous Chef at the Albuquerque Petroleum Club. Here, Patel mixes two varieties of wild mushroom—trumpet royale and alba clamshell—to create a late summer salad that's both refreshing and savory. The sugar plum grape tomatoes really pop alongside smoky bites of wild mushroom and chicken, while the parmesan crisp cup adds its own salty, addictive crunch.
The Return of Tony Nethery—After a stint as sous chef at OLA Steak in Miami, Fla., Tony Nethery has returned to the Duke City. The former Monte Vista Fire Station executive chef says that working under OLA's Chef Douglas Rodriguez was an amazing learning experience, but that, ultimately, he and his wife wanted to raise their new baby back on New Mexican dirt. Nethery is the not-so-silent business partner of Johnny Orr, the chef and owner of Relish Cheese Market & Sandwich Shop. With plans for a second Relish location in Downtown Albuquerque, Nethery knew that he had to come home and look after his other "baby," too. Although he's only been back a few weeks, the team is already hard at work on the new shop's menu, which won't open until sometime in October. Until then, you can find Nethery slinging sandwiches in the Northeast Heights at Relish (8019 Menaul NE, 299-0001).
1 organic chicken breast, small-diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons hickory liquid smoke
1 ounce trumpet royale mushrooms
1 ounce alba clamshell mushrooms
1-1/2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
8 sugar plum grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon thinly shaved chives
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 3-inch scalloped ovenproof ramekins
1) Place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small nonstick sauté pan. Cook chicken until golden brown over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat off and add the liquid smoke. Mix well and chill.
2) Place the remaining olive oil in another small nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until mushrooms are just lightly golden brown. Set aside and chill mixture.
3) In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled mushroom-garlic mixture, chilled "hickory-smoked" chicken breast pieces, fresh sugar plum grape tomatoes and chives. Mix well and chill for at least 30 minutes before service.
For the parmesan crisp cups:
1) Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cover a small sheet pan with a piece of wax paper; spray wax paper with unflavored nonstick spray.
2) Divide grated parmesan cheese into 2 piles on the wax paper. Spread evenly to create 2 4-inch-wide circles.
3) Bake in the oven until cheese melts together and turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Have ramekins ready on a clean work surface.
4) Remove tray from the oven. Quickly take a metal spatula and transfer the warm parmesan circles to the ramekins. Using your fingers and a clean towel, press lightly to form the parmesan crisp over the ramekin molds. Allow parmesan circles to cool and harden, at least 30 seconds.
5) Remove the parmesan crisp from the ramekins. Fill with chilled mushroom and chicken mixture and serve.
The Bleu de Gex-Files—Did you know that Roswell is home to the world's largest mozzarella cheese manufacturing plant? That Chavez County supports a billion-
5 tablespoons butter
3-1/2 cups boiling water
1 medium onion
1 pound mushrooms, cut in to large pieces
2 tablespoons fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1) Preheat oven to 350ºF. Wash and rinse kasha. In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add the kasha and stir constantly for 3 minutes to keep the grains separated and coated. Stir in the boiling water. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes.
2) In a sauté pan, sauté the onion in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add mushrooms and cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Add the chopped dill.
3) Blend the mushroom mixture into the kasha and add salt and pepper to taste. Place mixture in a buttered casserole dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in oven.
4) Remove from heat. Let cool slightly and serve family-style. Let guests top each serving with spoonful of the sour cream.
Sandwich Bonanza!—If, like me, you're simultaneously repulsed by and attracted to the weird culinary underworld of competitive eating, you'll be thrilled to know that Albuquerque is finally getting a taste of the "sport." Competitive eaters from all over the nation will congregate at Expo New Mexico's Ford Pavillion on Saturday, Sept. 24, at 2 p.m. The food of the hour? Grilled cheese sammies. Stacks of them. Albuquerque snackers can compete for $1,750 in prizes on this leg of the Goldenpalace.com World Grilled Cheese-Eating Championship. The 15-city circuit is part of a $50,000 fundraising campaign for hunger-related and disaster relief efforts.

"People always seem to love it. It's just a fun way to help support the hospital," said Barbara Strype, President of SIUH Service Auxiliary.
Throughout the day, dozens of hospital physicians, staff and volunteers wore outfits from wedding attire to sportswear to children's clothing -- all thanks to Ultimate Fashions II, Great Kills; Children's Place, New Dorp and New Springville; Dress Barn, Graniteville; The Garage, New Springville, and Angel's Bridal, Huguenot.
Three-year-old Jaden Burke was reluctant to model his stylish blue fedora and white sleeveless sweater, but eventually made his way down the runway with the help of a family friend, James Powell, who is the vice president for patient relations at SIUH, Ocean Breeze.
"Not only is it for a good cause, but it gives all of us who work together at the hospital a chance to interact and have a good time outside of work," Powell said.
Wearing a blue and purple dress, 13-year-old Ashley Miglionica, of Grant City, has hit the runway at the annual event four years in a row. She said that she enjoyed it more this year because she got the chance to wear more grown-up clothes than in previous years.
"I like modeling more mature dresses," she said. "It's just a fun day."
The SIUH Service Auxiliary is the oldest continuous auxiliary in the United States, celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.
Proceeds from the event benefitted hospital programs and projects. In 2012, the Service Auxiliary helped SIUH purchase medical and surgical support equipment for both hospital sites. Members of the Auxiliary also donated $6,000 to further a breastfeeding initiative and $2,000 for a bereavement tree for families who lost a child from miscarriage, stillbirth or complications during delivery.

Posted on 09/21/2012 12:23:20 PM PDT by TigersEye
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (KGO) -- In Pakistan Friday, violent protests over an anti-Muslim film left at least 17 people dead and more than 100 wounded across the country.
Protestors clashed with police in several major cities, even though Friday was a government declared holiday designed to allow peaceful demonstrations. Police fired tear gas and live ammunition at thousands of demonstrators who threw rocks and set fire to buildings.

US spends $70,000 on Pakistan ad denouncing anti-Muslim film (Obama's apology tour continues)
Chimpanzees are more civilized.
Can we air drop plenty of guns and ammo to both the police and protestors?
While you were away...
The OBozo administration spent $70K of our taxpayer dollars to run TV ads on Pakistani television today, apologizing to Pakistani Muslims for a youtube video that none of them have seen. Most of them might not even have heard of it if Obozo and Hillary weren't all over their teevees telling them about it.
The Pakistani government declared a national holiday today so that the "peaceful" Muslims could all go out and riot. So far there are 17 dead and hundreds injured as rioting continues.
But, hey, Romney released his 2011 tax returns today, so that will give all the media something else to yammer about instead. Move along, nothing to see here.
They need to pick up the pace a bit. They are still breeding evil faster than they can remove them from society.
Are we out of Daisy Cutters?
They are like Daleks...
Well, those 17 are where they want to be; with Allah. Who am I to argue? :)
Bingo! Hildebeast has found the key. Just run the occasional TV (they have TV?) Ad that's sure to PO the Pakis. It's not hard at all to find things they're already mad about. I'm not really seeing the downside of Muzzie-on-muzzie violence. 70K$ to take out a couple hundred is a lot less money than we've been spending——Aaannnnddd we can let the drones rest up. They haven't cleaned up the place from the quake two years ago or the last two floods but these 12th century dingbats can always take a break from digging toilets to kill each other.
Obama needs to send as many Intellectual Atheist Missionaries to explain to the masses how silly Religion is and that Progressivisum is The New World Order... Or he could send our Vice President to appeal to their sense of decency.
Eating their own again are they? Forever mired in islam.
Tough talk on Pakistan from Obama - Aug 1, 2007
Obama said if elected in November 2008 he would be willing to attack inside Pakistan with or without approval from the Pakistani government, a move that would likely cause anxiety in the already troubled region.
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said.
Update: Obama: Calls for Unilateral War Against Pakistan - Aug 01, 2007
"Let me make this clear," Obama said in a speech prepared for delivery at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."
This follows up on something he said in 2004, when he suggested that he would support launching missles against Pakistan and Iran to prevent extremists from getting nuclear weapons.
Pakistan: Obama remark 'irresponsible' - 8/3/2007
Obama triggered anger in Pakistan, a key ally of the United States in its war on terror, when he said in a speech Wednesday that as president he would order U.S. military action against terrorists in Pakistan's tribal region bordering Afghanistan if intelligence warranted it.
Big Bad 0Bambo! Put nothing past this anti-American radical Marxo-Islamist.
So let me get this straight.
- An internet movie no one has seen in a country without widespread internet access has caused riots.
- The people that haven't seen this movie hated it so much that they decided to kill at least 17 of their countrymen.
- Our government spent $70,000 telling these people that hadn't seen this movie, that there was this movie they should be really offended about and we're sorry it exists.
- The people that didn't see this movie got the day off to protest the movie they'd hate if they had seen it.
- These people that didn't see this movie hated it so much that they set fire to everything in sight, fought with each other and injured hundreds if not thousands.
- Islam is a religion of peace.
- Pakistan is our ally.
Did I miss anything here?
All that love!!
These phony pig-faced, low-life POS's!
Kind of similar to when the Lakers win the Championship.
Wild animals killing each other. Nothing new here. I saw this on National Geographic the other day.
just blowing off a little steam.. no reason to be alarmed.
tomorrow is another day.. another jihad.
In the upper pic, guy on the right needs to work on his rage face. Not scarin' me.
"I think something is wrong with their medulla oblongatas."
2 things...first 'the call to prayer is the prettiest sound on earth' and 'i'll side with izlum'...
And these Camel-hitters have nuclear weapons....sheesh
Are those blasted femurs at it again? It's not at all humerus.
Kind of similar to when the Lakers win the Championship.
Only the Lakers actually do win Championships....
No, it's not humerus at all...THEY HAVE INSULTED THE PROFIT!
What a bunch of idjits.
Our sole, absolutely exclusive goal in Syria must be to keep the civil war going as long as possible with the highest possible, most horrific casualties on both sides, creating as much intra-Mudslime hatred and as many generations-long blood feuds as possible.

It could be the fumes from the flags they burn. Over time, they turn to sterno and eventually the head explodes in fames. :-} Terrible sight , terrible.. and messy.. zombies have nothing on them..
" These phony pig-faced, low-life POSs!"
8th century thugs.
17 less Obama voters. And many camels and sheep sleep better at night.
Thinning the herd of useless males is a mathematical imperative in a polygamous society, unless new territory can be conquered for the drones to kidnap wives.
$70,000 to take 117 raging Muslims off the battle front seems like a fairly good investment.
And convincing 17 million more that they are right to hate us and that we know that they are right to hate us. Brilliant foreign policy!
Drop Bibles. Every time these guys act out against us we should carpet bomb them with the gospel. It's the thing the Islamists fear the most.
Though your way is tempting.
"Drop Bibles."
How about dropping Bible verses that are stenciled on the side of MOABs?
LOL, well done.
Bibles and bombs for the muzzies. If that don't just say America, then I don't know what the hell does.
Exactly, LOL!!!
And what do we call that?

We're number one, top of the pile, or just plain state champions in 2A baseball. Emery finishes a long road to the championship game with a lot of team work and a lot of heart.
"I got it coach, give me one more shot," were the words uttered by pitcher Baylee Bolotas as he took the field in the top of the seventh inning. Bolotas then sat down the Parowan 7-8-9 batters in a row and the Emery High Spartans were the 2-A Utah State baseball champions for 2013. This was the second baseball title in the school's history. The first was back in 1982.
Emery fell behind to the Parowan Rams early in the game. Starting pitcher Dillon Wilstead got the Rams out 1-2-3 in the first inning. In the second inning, Parowan scored three times although it appeared that Wilstead had got out of the inning except for a missed call by the home plate umpire. With two out and two on, Wilstead threw a curve ball that looked like the third strike to the Ram batter to everyone in attendance except the umpire. The batter had a two RBI single on the next pitch. Parowan scored three runs in the inning to take the early lead.
Thanks to an Emery error in each of the next two innings, Parowan added a single run each inning to build their lead to 5-0 and maybe the Emery fans in attendance were a little nervous.
And then it happened, the inning that the Spartan fans had been waiting for. Emery knew that the Parowan pitching was almost exhausted after the team was playing their sixth game in three days. Emery scored seven runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to grab a lead that they would never relinquish.
In that inning, Wilstead led off and walked followed by Marco Mota getting on base due a Ram error. Gavin McDermott walked as did Ethan Tuttle and Emery had their first run with the bases still loaded and nobody out. Tanner Lake, batting out of the ninth spot, promptly singled to centerfield driving in two more Emery runs. Lead-off batter Ridge Nielson singled to center to score another run and then Tappen Draper singled to the right side. Tyson Roper followed with a hard hit to the shortstop that was misplayed and Drexler Tanner walked as Emery went completely through the line-up with all batters getting on base.
After Roper got out trying to advance on a bad throw, Wilstead hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the final run of the inning.
Emery continued their rampage the next inning as they scored seven more runs. McDermott singled, Tuttle got hit by a pitch and Lake laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third base. Nielson doubled scoring two runs, Draper got on base due to an error by the Ram shortstop, Roper singled driving in two runs, Tanner walked and Wilstead singled driving in another run. Mota flew out to centerfield with McDermott following with his second single of the inning. Tuttle ground out to end the inning.
Bolotas came in to pitch in the top of the fourth inning. After getting the first batter to fly out to center, the next batter tripled. After a ground out back to the pitcher, the next batter hit a line drive to left field that was misplayed leading to their fifth run of the game. In the fifth inning, Bolotas got the Ram batters to ground out to third, to short and then to third for a quick inning.
In the top of the sixth inning, Bolotas got the first batter out on a grounder to short. The next batter singled to right, followed by a single, another single and a double. The next batter had a sacrifice fly and the next batter tripled to center. The final batter flew out to centerfield.
It was during this inning that Coach Steve Gordon sent Carson Healy to the bullpen to warm up so that he could pitch the seventh inning. Healy was the winning pitcher from the day before. Healy never got to pitch as Gordon stuck with Bolotas.
In that final inning, the first batter hit a fly to right field and then Bolotas struck out the second batter. With two out, the third batter grounded to short and Nielson made the play to first and the game was over and the celebrations began.
Emery played two other games at the Kearns High School field during their stay in Salt Lake. On Thursday, Emery battled Millard to a 4-3 seven inning victory. Millard scored a single run in the first inning and two more runs in the fourth inning off pitcher Wilstead. Wilstead pitched the entire game to get the win.
Emery's McDermott was the batting hero of this game. In the bottom of the fourth inning and with two outs, Wilstead got hit by a pitch. The next batter, Mota, singled to left center field. Tuttle then singled to load the bases. McDermott, with a 1-2 count, doubled scoring the three Emery runners and tying the score. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Wilstead doubled to lead off the inning. Mota flew out to centerfield followed by Tuttle grounding out to the second baseman. McDermott then singled to score Wilstead and Emery had the lead. In the top of the seventh, Wilstead got the heart of the Eagle line up to strike out, to ground out to second and to ground out to short.
On Friday, everything went Emery's way in a game against Kanab. Emery scored eight runs in the top of the first inning to effectively end the game early. Emery scored four more times in the second inning, twice in the third, four more in the fourth and once in the fifth inning and Emery left the field with a 19-1 victory.
Healy only gave up two singles in the game while forcing the Cowboys to go down 1-2-3 in each of the first three innings. Healy worked the Kanab team as they hit fly balls to the outfield five times for outs, pop up flies to the infield twice,seven ground outs and Healy struck out the final batter. Healy pitched the five innings it took to put the game away.
Every Emery player had a base hit in this game and everyone scored at least one run. Tanner had two doubles while McDermott and Mota each had one. Lake had a triple in the game. Emery finished with 15 base hits.
After the championship game, coach Gordon told his players, "You're going to get a ring boys, way to not give up. That was a roller coast but way to get it done. Great job guys. The players have hearts of gold and they never gave up." Gordon was a bundle of nerves in the dugout right up to that final out and then he let it out.
Gordon started seven sophomores in the field in the championship game along with two juniors. The only senior on the team was Draper and in this game he was the designated hitter. The team finished with a 19-6 season record, a state title and a co-region title with Grand. Emery had a great year and the future looks bright with this young team.

Love but loose
"They do run a bit long and loose (adjusting the straps doesn't do much) but the sole of the shoe is pretty narrow so finding the right fit is a bit tricky. I got my true size but I have a pretty skinny foot/ankle so I feel like I could have gone down 1/2 a size and been ok. Otherwise the look really cute and I get compliments on them all the time."

"I love the pop of color but I don't know about the fit. There's a gap at my heel and I don't know if its just a bigger size or not. I'm usually an 8 so I may size down to 7 1/2. Also, the back is very stiff which makes it uncomfortable . I will size down and see how it fits. The pictures are very accurate with representing the colors. Its not neon but definitely noticeable!"

: : All of a sudden, our shower head has very low pressure. I also noticed that water is leaking from the bathtub nozzle, when we turn shower on. I've cleaned the shower head but that didn't fix the problem. I think something is wrong with the bathtub nozzle because it leaks there when shower is turned on. Any suggestions?

Emu egg with carved decoration depicting a large tree and a farmer and two dogs in an altercation with a kangaroo
'This egg was bought from Aboriginal people by a gentleman travelling around the countryside of western New South Wales on his bicycle. Originally one of a pair, it came to the Gallery from the granddaughter of the original owner. The egg depicts, in the round, an altercation between a farmer and a kangaroo with a marvellous abstract wild tree as background.'

Littleton City Council took a sharp turn on pot about 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 4, abruptly changing course from deciding whether to allow retail marijuana sales to deciding on an outright ban.
After the seven-hour meeting that saw the fall of the Broadstone apartment proposal, council had one last task as the crowded chamber emptied — hearing on first reading a proposed ordinance that would have allowed the city's four existing medical-marijuana dispensaries to sell to the general public.
However, Mayor Debbie Brinkman introduced an amendment to switch the language from allowing retail sales to banning them.
"I don't think increasing access and making it a part of our community is really what we intend Littleton to be," said Brinkman.
Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Stahlman and councilors Jim Taylor, Jerry Valdes and Peggy Cole indicated support for the original language during an Aug. 27 study session. But Stahlman reversed course on first reading, saying he wasn't aware Littleton would be the only south-metro city to allow it, although it came up during the study session.
"We're surrounded by communities that have said no," said Councilor Bruce Beckman at the time. "I'm not sure that Littleton wants to stand out when the whole south-metro area has said no."
"Frankly, that's causing me to reconsider the whole thing," Stahlman said Sept. 4.
Cole, Taylor and Valdes pressed to start the process over since the ordinance was substantially changed.
"Let's have a public hearing," said Taylor. "If you don't like what the public says, then you can vote your conscience at that time."
City Attorney Ken Fellman said that wasn't necessary since the portion of affected city code wasn't changing.
"We may have the authority, but it's just not the proper thing to do," said Valdes. "We did that a couple weeks ago, and I don't think it looked good."
He was referring to council's decision to send a substantially altered Broadstone project back to the planning board for review rather than voting on the developer's original proposal, forcing him back to square one in the city review process. Valdes and many citizens thought that's what should have happened.
The public will be welcome to express opinions on the proposed marijuana ordinance on Sept. 17, when council is set to make a final decision.

BEDFORD - While most teenagers love to listen to music, a Bedford teen has made it his business to share his love with others.
Sixteen-year-old Spenser Hukill of Bedford got his own DJ business off the ground last year, and he says word-of-mouth recommendations have earned him steady business.
Hukill said he started mixing music in the eighth grade.
"I was just messing around on my own at first, then I realized it was a lot of fun," he said.
He put together playlists, using his computer, and mixed some songs to provide the music for his parties, but it was after acting as DJ at his 16th birthday party last winter that he realized he could do it professionally.
"I've just started getting a good number of gigs," he said, starting with parties for friends, then friends of those friends. "Word of mouth really got my name around."
Hukill listens to a variety of music on his own time, including classical, heavy metal and electronic and techno. He said his eclectic music library contains 20,000 songs and he has access to thousands more, so finding the right music for his clients isn't a problem. He asks clients to offer up a list of 20 of their favorite songs, then builds on that selection, compiling three to five hours of music.
Starting a business can be expensive, and Hukill is keeping costs down by borrowing speakers, and continuing to use DJ software on his computer to assist with the mixing.
"I haven't been able to afford a high-end controller yet, but that just makes it easier for me. It doesn't affect the sound," Hukill said.
Cheryl Bartolucci of Goffstown found Hukill's ad on Craigslist when she was looking for a DJ for her daughter Samantha's birthday party.
Bartolucci said she was initially surprised Hukill was so young, but she found him to be professional and courteous, developing playlists by email and meeting with her to plan the event.
"He was so polite and professional, and everyone had a great time," she said, and has been referring Hukill to other parents.
Bartolucci said Hukill's price was reasonable, which Hukill said is done intentionally.
"Since I'm just starting out, I'm pricing a little lower," he said.
Hukill charges $210 for the first three hours, and $35 for each additional hour, but always makes sure he has enough music for party-goers to dance the night away.
"I always have a selection to cover the amount of time I'm playing for," he said.
That selection includes mixes he puts together himself.
"Seeing people react to something I've written or put together is indescribable," he said.
In his spare time, Hukill is involved in theater at the Derryfield School, where he is a junior. Between school, friends and music, his plate is nearly full. "Music is becoming my life right now," he said.
Hukill said he plans to incorporate music into his future, and is considering music production as a career.
"But I'll definitely keep deejaying on the side," he said. "That might help me get through college."
It's Winter Break for New Hampshire's schools so get outdoors and make it memorable - or - take your honey to a show. The seasons, they are are changing. As we enter 'Maple Month' in the Granite...

ICYMI: NOW with Alex Wagner on December 26th
It appears that Republicans are suffering from political amnesia as the year-end deadline for Congress to reach a budget agreement approaches. Instead of relying on knee-jerk ideology, we must make an honest assessment of our economic history and current predicaments. Do current economic policies serve the interests of our citizens and promote the nation's well-being? Are these policies faithful to our political ideals?
On Wednesday, I joined Ari Melber, Jonathan Chait, Joy-Ann Reid, Nick Confessore, and John Harwood on NOW with Alex Wagner to discuss budget negotiations in Congress, gun control, and Chuck Hagel's Secretary of Defense nomination. Watch the videos below for highlights from our discussion and share your thoughts.
From NOW w/ Alex Wagner
Where were we before Boehner's Plan B?
The NOW panel – including New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait, the Grio's Joy-Ann Reid, the New York Times' Nick Confessore, CNBC's John Harwood and author Catherine Crier – discusses the latest in the fiscal cliff proceedings.
Gun regulation: One step forward, many steps back
Will new concern about gun control after the Sandy Hook massacre spur legislators into action, or will people's concern dwindle with the media's coverage? Nicholas Confessore, Joy-Ann Reid, Jonathan Chait, and Catherine Crier discuss the NRA's agenda and whether or not they've artificially frozen the debate on gun control.
Cabinet caution: Does Chuck Hagel stand a chance?
By opposing George W. Bush's 2007 Iraq surge, former Senator Chuck Hagel endeared himself to anti-war Democrats but lost a lot of Republican support. Now Hagel, potentially President Obama's pick for the next Secretary of Defense, is getting flak from Republicans and even some Democrats for his views on Israel, Iran, and his previous comments on gay rights.

From angry attack muffins to fetching holiday sweaters and how to get your "wag' on, a look back at the year at NOW.

LETTERS From Richard Wilkins, Newport:
ON THE second day of very frosty conditions, I again witnessed children and parents resorting to try to walk in the road as the pavements were so slippery.
Cars were sliding and skidding within inches of them.
It is pure luck that someone has not yet been mown down.
I have tried to get this area a 20mph limit like other estates but the council refuse, due to cost.
Is it council's intention to yet again leave school route areas to this situation over the winter or do we, for the first time ever, get a grit lorry visit?
I refer to the Staplers estate, Summerfields school and the walk through to Medina College, Fairmount Drive, Mayfield Drive, Cooper Road and Atkinson Drive.
I lost count of the children who have slipped up and cars skid out of control this morning. It is a very frightening thing to witness.
I guess this will be a waste of time reporting as nothing will be done until someone is hurt or killed. If I could go to council road salt area and buy a bulk load I would and gladly spread it myself.

In formal and applied ontology, modularity is central to reducing the complexity of designing and understanding ontologies, and to facilitating ontology verification, reasoning, development, maintenance and integration.
Recent research on ontology modularity shows substantial progress in foundations of modularity, techniques of modularization and modular development, distributed reasoning and empirical evaluation. These results provide a solid foundation and exciting prospects for further research and development.
The workshop continues a series of successful events that have been an excellent venue for practitioners and researchers to discuss latest and current work. The most recent WoMOs were held at ESSLLI 2011 and FOIS/ICBO 2012. This time WoMO is organised as a workshop of LPNMR 2013: the 12th International Conference on Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning. LPNMR is well-established as the main conference in the field.
The workshop will be open to all attendants of LPMNR'13 and its workshops. Workshop speakers will be required to register for WoMO via the LPMNR'13 website. Registration for WoMO only will be possible.
Invited Speakers:
Till Mossakowski, University of Bremen, Germany
Till Mossakowski is extraordinary professor of computer science at the University of Bremen. He is a leading international figure in modular and heterogeneous specification of logical theories and ontologies.
George Vouros, University of Piraeus, Greece
