Hulu Suitors Line Up
Yahoo Inc. YHOO -0.31% submitted a bid on Friday to acquire Hulu, according to a person familiar with the matter, as the Internet company tries to add more high-quality online video that can appeal to advertisers.
As of Friday afternoon, seven companies had submitted bids for Hulu, several of whose interest has been previously reported, the person familiar with the matter said. They include pay-TV operators DirecTV and Time Warner Cable Inc. ; Guggenheim Digital Media; private-equity firm KKR KKR 1.33% ; the investment group of former News Corp . President Peter Chernin ; and Silver Lake Partners, bidding with William Morris Endeavor, the person said.
Hulu was founded in 2007 as a way for major broadcast networks to deliver their TV programming online. It offers a catalog of more than 70,000 full TV episodes, including the current seasons of hit shows. The site's owners are Fox parent News Corp., ABC parent Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.21% and NBC parent Comcast Corp. CMCSA -1.01% (For regulatory reasons, Comcast can't vote its stake.) News Corp. also owns The Wall Street Journal.
- Hulu in Talks With Potential Buyers (3/26/2013)
As the owners have invested in other digital video initiatives—building up their own websites, streaming shows to pay-TV subscribers through a strategy called "TV Everywhere," and licensing some content to other subscription video players like Netflix Inc. and Amazon Inc.—questions about where Hulu fits in their broader plans have arisen.
The value of the bids for Hulu isn't clear. The price potential buyers are willing to pay will depend largely on whether the broadcasters are willing to continue licensing current seasons of their TV shows to the site for a long period. The bids submitted thus far, which are nonbinding, will be whittled down in coming weeks and the parties will negotiate over content licensing, the person familiar with the matter said. It is possible no sale will happen. It's also possible one of the bidders could end up taking a minority stake in Hulu, a person familiar with the situation said.
The site had roughly $700 million in revenue last year and more than four million customers for its $7.99 per month subscription service as of March 31. Larger rival Netflix had nearly 28 million paid streaming subscribers in the U.S. at the end of March.
Yahoo's bid comes after the Internet company earlier this week announced its $1.1 billion acquisition of blogging site Tumblr. In recent years, multiple leaders of Yahoo have coveted Hulu and engaged in deal talks with the site, people familiar with the matter have said. Yahoo withdrew its most serious effort—a bid in late 2011—because of its own troubles, including a management shake-up that ended with Yahoo considering whether to sell itself.
News of Yahoo's bid was first reported by AllThingsD, while the bids from KKR and Silver Lake were first reported by Bloomberg.
For Yahoo, Hulu's attraction is its slate of high-quality programming, which generates revenue from big brands who advertise on TV. Yahoo and other Web companies are struggling to produce or acquire the kind of programming that would encourage advertisers to spend more of their budgets online.
Yahoo has faced numerous challenges in recent quarters with its core graphical- and video-ad sales, as it faces increased competition from Google Inc. and its YouTube video site, Hulu, Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN.com and social network Facebook Inc., among others.
In the first quarter of this year, Yahoo's display-ad revenue, which represents about 40% of the company's sales, dropped 11% from a year earlier to $455 million on declines in the number and prices of graphical and video ads.
To boost the amount of video content and video-ad space on Yahoo, the company earlier this year sought to acquire a majority stake in French video site Dailymotion, but the $200 million deal fell apart after the French government intervened to halt the sale.

With the Harlem River to the north and east, the Hudson River to the west, and Marble Hill directly north, Inwood is bound by water on three sides.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Digital Books
This is the fourth in a series of posts about the proposed Google Book Search settlement.
This is the third in a series of posts about the proposed Google Book Search settlement.
Now that we've described the proposed settlement agreement's biggest potential upside for the public—expanded online access to books, particularly out-of-print books—that benefit must be weighed against the potential down-sides. On that score, the settlement's potential impact on competition in the online book market has loomed large. Critics of the settlement have emphasized two principal dangers:
- The potential for a Google monopoly over orphan and unclaimed books.
- The potential for monopolistic pricing of the Institutional Subscription Database, particularly for higher education.
The revised Settlement 2.0 made little or no effort to address these concerns, leaving it to Congress or antitrust authorities to fix later.
This is the second in a series of posts about the proposed Google Book Search settlement.
The Potential Upside: Enhanced Public Access
From the public's point of view, unprecedented public access to books is the chief benefit promised by the revised proposed settlement (aka Settlement 2.0) of the Google Book Search litigation. That's the "upside" against which all the possible "down-sides" will be measured. And when it comes to enhancing public access, the proposed settlement holds great promise. Whether that promise will actually come to pass, however, is harder to predict.
Here's what we know about Google's book scanning efforts so far [revised in light of updated numbers sent by Google Nov. 19]:
This is the first in a series of posts evaluating the proposed Google Book Search settlement.
When it announced its Book Search project in 2004, Google set for itself an inspiring and noble goal. In the words of Google CEO Eric Schmidt, "Imagine yourself at your computer and, in less than a second, searching the full text of every book ever written." What started as a dream of universal book search, however, has become something much broader: a class action lawsuit and proposed settlement that hopes to let Americans read, as well as search, millions of books online.
Late Friday night the parties to the Google Book Search class action submitted a revised settlement agreement to the federal court in New York that is hearing the case.

text: The view from the Mount of Olives is wondrous: the densely packed walled city of Jerusalem embraced by the Hinnom and Kidron valleys, the Golden Gate to Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, Mount Zion, City of David and more, bring alive both prophecy and Psalms. It is from the Mount of Olives, with its view not only toward the Holy City and its green surroundings, but toward the wilderness, that one understands how Jerusalem got one of its earliest names, Zion (2 Sam. 5:7), which comes from a word meaning desert. On the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives is Bethany, where a beautiful church marks the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha (John 1:11), and where visitors can descend and emerge dramatically from the traditional tomb of Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead (John 11:43).The Palm Sunday Walk, which begins at Bethphage, follows the traditional path Jesus took in his triumphal entry to the Holy City (John 12:13-15). It stops in the quiet garden chapel of Dominus Flevit, marking the site where Jesus wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41), and then passes the ancient Jewish cemetery, where the deceased await the resurrection when the Messiah comes to the Mount of Olives (Zach. 14:4). This is an important place to pause and consider that the Mount of Olives is not only a geographical link between the desert and the fertile Jerusalem hills, it is the spiritual link between death and life, also emphasized by the resurrection of Lazarus in Bethany. In the early days of Christianity, monks came to the Mount of Olives in large numbers, seeking the solitude of its heights where they could deepen their understanding of these and other Scriptural truths. The Palm Sunday walk culminates in the Garden of Gethsemane, one of the most dramatic sites on a Christian itinerary. This and Olivet's other sites – the Pater Noster ("Our Father") Church, named for the prayer Jesus taught (Matt. 6:9-13), the Dome of the Ascension, the Tower of the Ascension and Viri Galilaei (Acts 1:11) – stir powerful emotions that make this visit an unforgettable spiritual highlight.

A birth defect is a problem that a baby has at birth. In most cases, the baby developed a structural, functional, or developmental abnormality during the mother's pregnancy.
Out of every 100 babies born in the U.S., two or three will have some kind of major birth defect. Nobody intends to have a child with a birth defect. The causes of birth defects are largely unknown, although several risk factors have been identified.
Birth defects happen when a number of conditions occur together. All of the following may contribute to the risk of birth defects: mother's nutritional, physical and mental health before and during pregnancy; mothers, fathers and baby's genes; environmental exposures; and timing.
Many birth defects happen very early in pregnancy, even before a woman knows that she is pregnant. In the U.S., approximately half of pregnancies are unplanned. A woman can help to increase her chances of having a healthy baby. It is important that women of all ages know that setting healthy habits early can lead to a healthy pregnancy months and years later in life.
For more than 20 years, CBDMP has gathered data in several California counties on babies born with structural birth defects evident at birth or within the first year of life. CBDMP continues to collect and analyze data identifying opportunities to prevent birth defects and improve the health of babies.

Choreographer Morris holds conversation with scholar Morrison
Posted February 19, 2009; 11:54 a.m.
Renowned choreographer Mark Morris and Princeton music scholar Simon Morrison, who have collaborated on a new production of "Romeo and Juliet," will present a talk at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, in McCosh 50.
The event, titled "A Conversation With Mark Morris and Simon Morrison," is planned in conjunction with an 8 p.m. performance of the Mark Morris Dance Group at the Matthews Theatre of the McCarter Theatre Center.
Morris and Morrison collaborated on a production of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev's original 1935 version of "Romeo and Juliet, On Motifs of Shakespeare." For this production, Morrison reconstituted the composer's original intentions and 20 minutes of previously unheard music, while Morris provided choreography. The production was premiered at the Bard Summerscape Festival in July 2008 and currently is on an international tour.
"What defines Mark Morris are his remarkable choreographic innovations as well as his sensitivity to, and respect for, archival sources," Morrison said. "Morris goes back to source musical materials and reanimates them with his choreography. His works are historically minded, but they are not bogged down with history. They are about the present, chiefly the joy of being alive."
Hailed as one of America's greatest choreographers of the 20th century, Morris founded the Mark Morris Dance Group in 1980 and has collaborated with artists ranging from celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma to tabla legend Zakir Hussain to the jazz trio the Bad Plus. Morris is noted for his musicality, and his dance company is committed to performing with live music. He has worked extensively in opera, directing and choreographing productions for the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera, English National Opera and Royal Opera.
Morrison, a professor of music, teaches courses on 19th- and 20th-century music, with an emphasis on Russia and France. He is the author of "Russian Opera and the Symbolist Movement" (2002) and "The People's Artist: Prokofiev's Soviet Years" (2009) and the editor of the Bard Music Festival volume "Prokofiev and His World" (2008). He has reconstructed lost productions of Prokofiev's ballet "Le Pas d'Acier" and the classic Russian drama "Boris Godunov" for world-premiere performances at Princeton.
The conversation, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Program in Theater and Dance in the Lewis Center for the Arts and by the Department of Music.
For ticket information on the Mark Morris Dance Group's performance, call the McCarter box office at 258-2787 or visit the McCarter website.

After a year of trying to get pregnant, Jackie sought help from her obstetrician, who prescribed hormone pills. She felt like she had bad PMS every day, not to mention hot flashes, bloating, and extreme mood swings.
After a few unsuccessful, painful months, Jackie switched obstetricians and both she and her husband had fertility testing. Male infertility was ruled out, and her second doctor found multiple cysts on Jackie's ovaries. She was referred to a fertility specialist—a reproductive endocrinologist—and began cycles of fertility shots, daily monitoring, and artificial insemination.
"It breaks your heart," says Jackie, an emergency room nurse from Cincinnati. "You don't think you'll ever have kids, then you go through these treatments that totally mess your hormones up. You gain weight, you feel bad, and then you still don't get pregnant."
The devastation Jackie felt each time she started her period, along with the hormone-induced mood changes, took a toll on her marriage. "I can't say we were actually going to get divorced," says her husband Eric. "But we weren't getting along very well."
"If we had stopped trying, our marriage would have been in really big trouble," adds Jackie. "I would have always felt inadequate."
Conception, which finally happened after a successful artificial insemination, was not the magic cure Jackie hoped for. She developed diabetes and had to take four insulin shots a day. Her blood pressure rose dangerously high. She was hospitalized and put on bed rest for the last 12 weeks of her pregnancy, which ended early with a Cesarean section.
Two years later, the nightmare had faded enough so that Jackie underwent fertility shots and artificial insemination once again. When the techniques did not work after 3 months, her doctor recommended in vitro fertilization (IVF). Though Jackie did not rule out this expensive option, she wanted a second opinion.
The next reproductive endocrinologist saw the ring of cysts around Jackie's ovaries and diagnosed her with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that has been associated with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
At the recommendation of her doctor, Jackie tried fertility shots again, coupled with a technique to thicken the lining of her uterus to increase her chances of conceiving. Jackie became pregnant after the first try, then miscarried.
After stopping fertility treatment for a time, Jackie decided to work with a specialist who had experience treating PCOS patients with metformin, a diabetes drug. The first month Jackie took the drug, she ovulated and became pregnant. Jackie continued to take metformin throughout the pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
Like millions of couples each year, Jackie learned how emotionally and financially draining infertility can be.Those who should seek fertility help before a full year passes include women who:
If you are concerned about your fertility, make an appointment with a specialist who has extensive experience in the field. A range of tests can be done to evaluate your reproductive health and help you to better understand your condition. As Jackie discovered, sometimes second and even third opinions may be needed to discover the right treatment option for you.

Credit Unions: Background
On many issues -- privacy, bankruptcy, economic policy and deregulation, for instance -- the legislative priorities of credit unions generally align with those of commercial banking interests. That's beneficial for the not-for-profit credit unions, which generally contribute substantially less to federal candidates.
The industry contributed a little more than $4 million during the 2012 election cycle, with 55 percent going to Republicans and 45 percent to Democrats. However, the industry's party preference has flip-flopped many times: As recently as the 2010 election cycle, the credit union industry contributed only 47 percent to Republicans and 53 percent to Democrats. (Hint: While Democrats controlled the House in 2010, the GOP was in charge during the 2012 cycle.)
The industry's top contributor in the 2012 cycle was the Credit Union National Association, which serves 90 percent of U.S. credit unions. The group donated more than $2.7 million to federal campaigns during that election.
Over time, the industry has invested more in lobbying. In 2012, credit unions spent more than $9.2 million lobbying, mostly on issues involving banking, finance, and taxes. More than $5.1 million of the industry's lobbying spending came from the Credit Union National Association. Another top trade association, the National Association of Federal Credit Unions, spent more than $2.7 million lobbying in 2012.
Like their commercial bank counterparts, some credit unions are still recovering from the Great Recession because they, too, invested in securities backed by toxic mortgages.

Considering we have Fisto, I think Fangy will be the first (since the Horsemen have said they've been dying to work on him) and I'm sure they will 'strongarm' Strongarm down the road!!!
I have a feeling that we'll get some of these guys until the end of the year.Maybe Fang Man
Considering we have Fisto, I think Fangy will be the first (since the Horsemen have said they've been dying to work on him) and I'm sure they will 'strongarm' Strongarm down the road!!!
Strong arm is bad ass. He got He-man.
We don't need no education...
Yes you do, you've just used a double negative!
Hoping for BOTH, but if I had to choose only 1 then I choose Strongarm.

MOST WANTED MOTUC figures: Ice Armor He-Man, Sagitar, Master Sebrian, Snake Mountain Man, Filmation Mer-Man, NA Prince Adam, Dylamug, Fang-Or, Major Header, Granita, Great Black Wizard, Quakke, Delora/Hawke, Dree-Elle/Montork, Tuvar, Badrah, Disco Skeletor, Songster, & Stridor

What a tough decision. I really want both but picked Strong Arm.
Check your local WEATHER here & enter zip.
Strongarm wins the photo finish.
Nope.... nothing here! Just a link to my site http://motumulder.webklik.nl/page/fotoalbum with customs!
I voted for Strongarm, although I am a huge fans of Reptilian type characters and if the 4 horsemen are allowed some creative license to revamp Fang Man I would probably vote for that. However a fat Lizard guy just doesn't appeal that much to me, hopefully this is an instant where the reuse of parts helps in that way
Fang Man has been a favorite of mine since I scoured shelves looking for him as a tot. (Of course not knowing they didn't make one). Oh the pre-internet days!!!
Strong-Arm over Fang Man.

I like them both but since we are now getting Fang-Man I want Strong Arm ASAP (Just check my avatar)
That will come down and the toy pic will be posted when that happens!
I'll pass on both of these guys...where's that option?

Sorry guys, I never liked Strongarm, we already have Jitsu and Fisto and I really dislike his orange ears on a metal head, however I really hope that he'll be a MOTUC figure ASAP!
About Fang Man... the MOTUC figure is astonishing, and the articulated jaw is impressive!
I know 2 angels: their names are Jedi_Kunle and Mikethedrummer!
Worship the Snake Goddess!
Now that all the vintage figures are done, don't let MOTUC die, keep buyin' the figures!
2016 will be great!!!
I didn't care either way really. There are so many other Filmation characters I want over both of them. Still I'll be glad to see both their figures, because ultimately I want them all.
Never really liked Strongarm so Fang man is my favorite of the two.
Strongarm, but I'm glad we got both!

My favorite knicker thus far!

Comments about Louis Garneau Women's SL3 Request Knickers:
The LG chamois is by far the best I've tried. The longest ride I've done so far is 67 miles and I wasn't sore in the slightest. The top does roll down a little but that doesn't bother me. I would like for LG to offer these in gray or some other color as I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product
By Love cycling
from Portsmouth, VA
I am a plus size and it is difficult to find the right fit. These knickers are true to size and a great fit. They are comfortable and the padding is great. The only complaint I have is that the waistband rolls down and does not support. I will continue to wear them.

Nice knickers!
By Susan J.
from Oklahoma
I just had my first ride with these last night. I love the Silver Cool SL3 chamois! It feels more supportive and cushiony than the chamois in my LG Pro Max shorts but without any additional added bulk. Very comfortable! I was initially thrilled to get some without a drawstring; however, without a drawstring these do creep down a bit during the ride. Not a big deal though and doesn't bother me on the bike, I can just pull them up a tad once I dismount. And they are very flattering too! I had never tried knickers (or knee warmers for that matter) before and when I first put them on I thought the tight fabric right under my knees might bother me on the bike but once I started pedaling I didn't even know they were there! One star knocked off because of the waist creeping down a bit but overall a good pair of knickers and I'm happy with my purchase. And as always, fast service and shipping!

"A smile relieves a heart that grieves"
- Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
If not I respect your silence and hope I'm not touching on something too serious or out of line.
I'm with some of you on the Hillman video....sit nick,sit nick,sit nick,sit nick,sit nick,sit nick,sit nick,sit nick,sit nick.The whole time the dog is sitting. I do like some of his other stuff though.
I just got fowldawgs 1 and was not impressed. My biggest problem is it started out with a 5 or 6 month old pup. What did he do until that point? I've only "trained" 3 dogs but I had mine way past the point where he started training.I also didnt care for how rough is was with the dogs. I did learn some things in it so it wasn't a complete loss.
On to the next program for me.

"So what is big is not always the Trout nor the Deer but the chance, the being there. And what is full is not necessarily the creel nor the freezer, but the memory." ~ Aldo Leopold
"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
To the OP... I was in your position several weeks ago, trying to decide which training program to go with. This is my first serious training venture, so I was adamant on getting a program of some kind. After searching through numerous threads on this same topic, I ended up purchasing a couple of the Smartwork books... Smartwork vol 1 and Smartfetch. Being a beginner, I trusted the reviews that said Smartwork was easier to comprehend for beginners, and they didn't steer me wrong. Mr. Graham's methodology is very easy to understand, IMO.
My dog is approaching 10 wks old now and we're off to a great start I think. She's a Pointing Lab, so I've also read Julie Knutson's book on training pointing labs. While I really like Julie's book, it does have a lot more "fluff" in it than Evan's material, and I find myself spending more time re-reading so that it'll sink in. My plan is to use Julie's methods for the pointing side of things, and use Evan's program for the retrieving work.
I've got no exposure to the Lardy or Hillman programs, but IMO you can't go wrong with the Smartwork programs. Plus, Mr. Graham is an active member of this forum, which will undoubtedly come in handy at some point for me... and anyone else utilizing his program.
All skills are passivley taught first before pressure enters the process. CC to "here" is only one facet of the overall formalization process. Indeed, all basic commands are e-collar conditioned in my program individually as the dog progresses through Basics. In conditioning we often begin with continuous, working up and down a pressure scale that is determined by reading the individual dog, and then transitioned to nicks toward the end. It is extremely rare for me to use continuous stimulation on a dog that is past Basics.
I'll be happy to address any questions you have. Simly email to firstname.lastname@example.com .
"Prepare your dog in such a manner that the work he is normally called upon to do under-whelms him, not overwhelms him." ~ Evan Graham

After 700 million votes, the people have spoken. And their country choices for the 2014 People's Choice Awards are Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift.
Swift beat out several other deserving country artists including Blake Shelton,Carrie Underwood, The Band Perry and Lady Antebellum, to pick up her fifth People's Choice Award for Favorite Country Artist.
McGraw snagged the Country Music Icon award over Alan Jackson, George Straight and Toby Keith. This award comes 10 years after McGraw won his first People's Choice Awards for Favorite Country Artist award back in 2004.
It was a big night for McGraw and Swift, but Blake Shelton actually scored most nominations for a country artist with three. He eventually lost in all categories. However, the Voice did pick up the award for Favorite Competition TV Show, so technically he got a win there.

text: I just found them today at Wal-Mart, and, in my opinion, they're not bad figures for the money, but I was expecting so much more. I thought the RealScan (or whatever it's called) technology was supposed to give us perfect likenesses of the actors. Sure, these figures resemble the actors, but a good sculptor could have done so much better. Maybe they would look a lot better if the faces were molded in flesh-tone plastic? Anyway, I'm slightly (but not entirely) disappointed.

Nerds, hang with your kind at the Secret Science Club, Brooklyn's long-running monthly event that features "mind-bending lectures," "volatile experiments," "chemical libations," and "star-gazing sounds." Curated by jazz singer Dorian Devins and authors Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson, the SSC is a clubhouse for fun-loving smarties who enjoy music and cocktails with their talk of particle accelerators. A recent evening at the Bell House featured Hod Lipson, director of the Creative Machines Lab at Columbia University, posing questions like "Can robots ultimately design and make other robots?" Another lecture saw primatologist and author Frans de Waal investigating animal cognition — including "tool-making crows." Admission ranges from free to $20, a small price to pay for expanding your mind.

One minute you're racing through Grand Central, weaving through a maze of tourists and commuters, hoping to grab a coffee and still make the train. Less than an hour and a half later, after a pleasant ride along the Hudson (pro tip: sit on the left side of the car for river views), you will get off the Metro-North train in the tiny town of Garrison. The hike starts right there at the station: Head south through the parking lot and follow the blue-blazed trail past the Garrison Institute, across a field and a road, and pretty soon you will find yourself in nature. The trail goes into woodland that was once carriage roads of old estates and is now part of the Hudson Highlands State Park. Looking out over the summit of Sugarloaf Hill, you'll find sweeping views of the river and Hudson Valley that make it easy to understand why the area inspired a whole school of painting. Less easy to understand is that the city is not even sixty miles away.
Building off his stretch run last season, in which he slashed .287/.337/.604 in 57 games, Yoenis Céspedes led the Metropolitans this season in hitting the ball the hardest (31 homers, .530 slugging) and the third most often (.280 batting average). His career-best walk rate also allowed him to lead the Mets in actually standing on a base (.354 on-base percentage). Plus, he led all Mets outfielders in having a rocket launcher for an arm; his .884 OPS paced the team by 61 points, Katie Ledecky–in-the-women's-800-freestyle style; and, after he returned from a lingering quadriceps injury, the Mets went 27–14, clinching a postseason berth. So while Bartolo Colón is the Most Adorable Met, and Noah Syndergaard the Best Hair With a 100mph Fastball Met, Yoenis Céspedes is the Best Literally Out There Every Day Smacking Dingers and Gunning Down Baserunners Met. Still, you probably can't really be Best Met unless the joy you bring comes with a fistful of heartache (we see you, Matt Harvey's 2013 season), so don't worry: Céspedes will probably opt out of his contract this offseason. Let's go Mets! Really. Please. Let's go.
When Rachel Smith took her nine-year-old son, Ivor, for ping-pong lessons, she took him to a Manhattan table tennis club she'd heard good things about. What she didn't discover until later was that she hadn't brought him to just any club — he was learning from a former Olympic athlete.
"This is what he loves to do," says Smith of her son's first day of lessons. "We were so excited to find this place, and I'm excited that a champion ping-pong player runs it."
The Wang Chen Table Tennis Club (250 West 100th Street, Manhattan, wangchenttc.com) is named for a woman who made it to the quarterfinals in the 2008 Summer Olympics. "I teach everyone from 4- to 84-year-olds," says Chen, 42. Her clients at the club have included an NYU professor, an orthopedic surgeon, and Keanu Reeves. "I gave him lessons. He always wanted to play, but he wasn't very good."
The club is a rare affordable hangout in today's New York. It helps that Chen's landlord is a former student, Jerry Wartski. "He had this small table tennis club on West 100th Street, so he offered me a job," says Chen. "I didn't know he'd name the club after me. I just pay a little bit of rent. I thought there's no interest in table tennis in America. But I started teaching and I found out students are interested."
The club is packed most evenings, and with more than your average ping-pong enthusiasts. The Upper West Side spot draws table tennis pros from across the city and regulars of all ages, including young newcomers, with after-school programs, training sessions with expert coaches, and affordable membership rates. Unlimited play is just $20 a month — what you'd pay for just one hour at Susan Sarandon's SPiN. And as the main game room is the size of a small gym, with seven professional tables available, anyone who wants to improve their game or just learn how to play can walk in and hope to grab a paddle. (The club doesn't take reservations.)
The low-key, no-frills club doesn't have the bar and nightclub atmosphere of other table tennis venues, but it has seen its share of other high-profile celebrities besides Reeves, including John McEnroe on occasion. And Chen herself often makes an appearance. "I'm still active and still playing, and I think people who come to my place admire what I did in the Olympics and they share my passion for the sport," she says. "We don't need alcohol and food here — we only need table tennis."
On July 10, members of the WNBA's New York Liberty (following the lead of players on the Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever) took the court for warm-ups wearing black tees sporting the hashtags #BlackLivesMatter and #Dallas5 in solidarity with Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, the two African-American men killed by police weeks earlier in St. Paul and Baton Rouge, as well as the five police officers killed in Dallas. Though NBA commissioner Adam Silver praised the players' activism, the WNBA levied fines of $5,000 on each team and $500 on each player for violating pregame uniform rules.
The Liberty and Fever faced off at Madison Square Garden on the day the fines were announced, switching to plain black T-shirts in warm-ups — still a violation, according to the league. In their postgame press conferences, players said they would only answer questions about the protest, not the game. Liberty forward Swin Cash noted that many WNBA players had families in law enforcement, but still hoped to address police brutality: "We really would appreciate if people stopped making our support of Black Lives Matter, an issue that is so critical in our society right now, as us not supporting the police." Liberty center Tina Charles — who'd turned her black warm-up shirt inside out before accepting her WNBA Player of the Month award following the game — posted on Instagram: "Seventy percent of the @wnba players are African-American women and as a league collectively impacted. My teammates and I will continue to use our platform and raise awareness for the #BlackLivesMatter movement until the @wnba gives its support as it does for Breast Cancer Awareness, Pride, and other subject matters."
"Just because someone says 'Black Lives Matter' doesn't mean that other lives don't matter," explained guard Tanisha Wright, a Brooklyn native who joined the team in 2015. "People put out this imaginary 'black lives only matter' whenever people say, 'Black lives matter.' What we're saying is, 'Black lives matter, too.' Period." She also noted that the WNBA had handed out T-shirts in memory of victims of the Orlando shooting in June. "They can't pick and choose what initiatives to support and what not to support just because it doesn't fit their agenda," she said.
After fans spoke out in support of the players — as did Knicks star Carmelo Anthony — the WNBA rescinded the fines. "We really feel like there's still an issue here in America," said Wright in her postgame address. "We don't want to let anybody silence us." Off the court as well as on, the Liberty players are committed to making an impact.
Does Tyler Clippard have second sight? Talking to the Times on August 1, bruited to be the day the New York Yankees officially gave up on the 2016 season — the team had already dealt a pair of prized lefty relievers for prospects, and the trade deadline saw them parting ways with veterans Iván Nova and Carlos Beltrán to boot — pitcher Clippard, newly acquired from Arizona, talked about how nice it was to be "getting into some meaningful games." Huh? What? The Bombers were at that point seven games out, and the freshly molted roster was looking more like a triple-A squad than a big-league contender. What followed was the kind of thing liable to drive a long-suffering Orioles fan (ahem) insane: Their lineup now chockablock with such unfamiliar names as Gary Sánchez, Rob Refsnyder, and Ronald Torreyes, the suddenly ephebic Yanks played themselves back into the postseason picture, though they'd ultimately fall just short. Up in the Bronx, apparently, "rebuilding" only takes a New York minute.

Life has few pleasures like a good hot meal, and cone 10 studios and Crisis Ministries served up a delicious dinner of soup and bread to help raise awareness and fight hunger in Charleston.
The gray, misty weather made cone 10 studios seem just that much warmer and cozier, and those who attended crowded into the inviting gallery space on East Bay Street. Everyone got to select the bowl of their choice before joining the soup line, and guests pored over each of the handcrafted pieces, made by local potters. "I don't know which one to pick!" one guest laughed, a bowl in each hand.
After selecting a bowl and chatting for a bit, partygoers wove their way through the studio space to the soup line, where they had their choice of savory vegetable or creamy tomato bisque prepared by Celia Cerasoli. People then added chunks of fresh bread and cheese to their soup before picking a spot at one of the tables.
Most partygoers went back for seconds, admiring each other's bowls in line. After guests had enjoyed their fill, they bid on a silent auction of locally made pottery and snagged a sweet bite from the dessert table.
Empty Bowls was a fundraising dinner for Crisis Ministries hosted by cone 10 studios. Founded in 1984 out of a soup kitchen in Grace Episcopal Church, Crisis Ministries strives to end homelessness and hunger through providing food, emergency housing, case management, primary health care, legal services, employment services, and veteran services.

"Firestorm At Peshtigo"-Book
Two weeks ago I was down in Chatham and picked up a book that was in the "Editors Edition" box. These are books that have not yet hit the market but are a step away and are Editors proof. They sell them for a $1.00 and I am half way though. It was Copyrighted in 2002 so I do not know if it was ever published... but it is by Denise Gess and William Lutz and tells the story of the deadliest Fire in American History. A fire that raged at the same time as the great Chicago fire. 2000 people died in the area of the lumber towns and mills of Peshtigo, Marinette,Menominee and other river and Bay communities around Green Bay. An incredible story of Extreme dry conditions couple with gail force winds and a birthing of the US weather service. I was wondering if anyone knows if the book got published and has it been seen by current area residents?

Today at lunch, we went into Toys R US and sure enough there was 1 AT-AT on the floor. I have no idea if these are package 1 or 2 per case. The box is roughly the size of a Turbo Tank box which means these are probably 2 per case. I checked to see if there were more in the store and the Manager scanned and only found the 1. Store retail is $99.99; we also ordered 1 off of Toys R Us.com 2 nights ago. Never thought in a million years this would have show up in stores 2 weeks early.
Now everyone east of the Mississippi will need to keep their eyes out as these will probably hit hard over the next week.

First Look: Kate Bosworth x Topshop
See the campaign video shot by her husband
Kate Bosworth is the face of the aptly named, "The Collection," a collaborative line the actress designed with Topshop creative director Kate Phelan. The 46-piece collection includes staples for colder months that the actress favors, including oversized collarless coats in shearling, shirting in leather and silk-chiffon, biker pants, cashmere mix gray marl T-shirts, metallic leather skirts and a range of accessories.
The colors of black and white with high shine metallics are inspired by Piet Mondrian. "The collection is tailored and classic…we wanted to create luxurious pieces with a strong minimalist approach," Bosworth explains. "Slim silhouettes are cloaked in a masculine shape, staying true to the mix of masculine/feminine balance that exists in my personal aesthetic." Coming in at $32-$995, in the grand tradition of Topshop, the price point is approachable. Get the full aesthetic story in the video below, filmed by the actress' new husband Michael Polish.

Mobile CB Antennas
Mobile CB antennas are installed on pickups, heavy machinery, car, motorcycles and other vehicles. These antennas require a CB mount and coaxial cable for installation. There are several factors to consider when choosing the right antenna including height, type of antenna, and the type of mount.
Lengths for CB Antennas range from 8 inches to 8.5 feet, but 3-4 feet are the most common. You want to choose the tallest antenna that you can accommodate on your vehicle without striking too many obstacles like garage doors, tree branches, signs, etc. A good rule of thumb for range is 1-2 miles for each foot of antenna.
The type of antenna you choose will be based largely on personal preference. We recommend top or center loaded antennas for most situations. The top loaded antennas are fiberglass. The center load antennas are a coil with a plastic or metal housing with a steel whip attached to the top and a mast underneath. Base loaded antennas are good when mounting to a flat surface such as the roof of a vehicle. They are best in the center of a large ground plane.
See our helpful resource how to choose the best cb antenna if you'd like more assistance choosing the right mobile CB antenna for your needs.

WHAT WE LIKED: "What the light-air board test should be all about, " said one tester. The most light-air-dedicated board of the fleet took the gold medal in early planing - and blasted through lulls like they weren't even there. Some testers noted it carved an amazingly tight-radius jibe for such a large board.
BUYER BEWARE: One tester thought the fin could have been bigger. In higher winds, smaller testers found the width a bit difficult to control- but remember, it's the widest board in the fleet.
BETTER THAN THE FLEET AT: Being a big, wide board that gave
BEST SUITS: Multiple foot-strap options make the Starboard suited for a range of sailors from beginners to flat-water dragsters.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Tuttle fin box lets sailors experiment with super- size fins, dramatically increasing sail range. Deep double concaves keep the ride smooth and controlled.

When the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce last year launched a series of public listening sessions on the issue, they found that one of the biggest obstacles for start-ups is finding the capital to grow their businesses.
Enter Spark Lab KC. Private investors are pooling their resources together to help Kansas City startups and, as KCPT's Kyle Geary reports, a whole lot more.
Spark Lab KC is now taking applications for its next class, which starts in January, 2014.
By the way, more money is being thrown at startups in Kansas City, with the Greater Kansas City Chamber recently announcing, as part of its Big 5 initiative, the FlyOver Capital fund, where well-heeled investors have now pledged more than $25 million to help local entrepreneurs.

Late last month we heard a rumor that Jason Trawick was planning to propose marriage to our dear Britney Spears on or around her 30th birthday on December 2. Well, Britney's birthday came and went and … no engagement. Yesterday, Jason celebrated his 40th birthday (and recieved a pretty kickass gift from Brit Brit) and reportedly proposed to Britney last night! Now, news of Britwick's engagement has NOT YET BEEN CONFIRMED but Britney posted a message on her official Twitter profile just minutes ago that seem to allude that the happy news is TRUE! Read on!!!
Britney Spears is ready to live happily ever after with Jason Trawick! The pop superstar, 30, is now engaged to her former agent, a source confirms to Us Weekly. Trawick popped the question on Thursday night, his 40th birthday, when he and the "I Wanna Go" singer shared a romantic private dinner. "This is something they've both wanted for a long time," the source explains to Us. "It's a way to cement their family. They're both extremely happy and can't wait to become man and wife." The spouses-to-be plan to celebrate their engagement Friday night at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Spears coyly hinted at the big news on Twitter Friday morning, writing: "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo" … The duo first met in 2006 in a professional capacity. Then at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, Trawick began representing the "Hold It Against Me" singer while she was still wed to Federline, 33 … Following her late 2006 split from Federline and tough personal struggles in 2007 and 2008, Trawick proved himself to be a true friend to Spears during some of her darkest hours. Indeed, a source told Us earlier this year, Trawick "was one of the only people who stuck by her through everything." By 2009, an on-the-mend Spears was ready to take their friendship to the next level. "Britney has liked Jason for a long time," a source explained in April. "The fact that they were great friends gave them a foundation for a solid relationship." The former teen queen "made the first move," she told Us — and he quickly took a shine to her adorable little boys. "Jason is just amazing with the boys," the multi-platinum singer raved to Us. "They look up to him so much — they adore him. He's their hero." "We have such a great time together!" Spears added back in April. (Trawick, who underwent an impressive body makeover and lost 50 pounds in the past two years, even made his acting debut alongside his world-famous girlfriend in her sexy "Criminal" video earlier this year.) "He makes me laugh, and we are so comfortable being ourselves," Spears said of her guy. "I've never been happier."
Yay!!! OMG … sweet baby Jebus, let this news be true. To be honest, my gut tells that YES, Britwick are now engaged to be married. The timing just seems so perfect … and from the sound of Britney's tweet, she may soon be showing us a diamond ring on her ring finger :) OMG OMG OMG … this is such exciting news. I know I shouldn't be all exited just yet, not without official confirmations but … I CAN'T HELP IT!
UPDATE: It's TRUE! Britwick ARE ENAGED TO BE MARRIED !!!!!!!! WOOOOOOT !!!!!!!0

Hello to all, Its funny because I notice a few names here. Its been sometime since a read a Turkey and Turkey Hunting mag and two weeks ago I drove 30 minutes to a news stand that used to sell them to pick one up and they had none.
This morning a friend called and asked if I would like to go for a road trip to Toronto to visit Bass Pro Shop store and in most cases I always seem to be working at that store and never get time to look around. Well the first thing I seen was Turkey and Turkey Hunting Mag right there when I walked in, so I picked one up.
Well it was a good thing because a couple hunters that were looking over the turkey calls spotted me and came and introduced themselves and I spent the rest of my time talking turkeys while my buddy shopped. I walked away and still never seen anything. 1/2 hour back home I realize that I forgot to grab 243 shells that I wanted to look at in the first place lol
So I got the Mag and seen the add for the forum and thought I would drop in and say hi to some Old friends [;)]
Good Luck this coming season fella's

Tier 4 Health Care! Phat Lewtz!
April 16, 2008, 02:30:50 AM »
First: I apologize for cross-posting (I just posted this on GWJ), but it's a big topic for me as you'll see, and I just want to make people aware of this, even though it won't affect most who'll read it.
No one knows how many patients are affected, but hundreds of drugs are priced this new way. They are used to treat diseases that may be fairly common, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia, hepatitis C and some cancers. There are no cheaper equivalents for these drugs, so patients are forced to pay the price or do without.
Let me put a personal face to the article. I'm one of those people. Since starting on Humira a few years ago, I've been able to live without my old regimen of taking high doses of pain medication every day at the cost of my stomach's health and elevated risk of cardiac failure. Pain meds also do nothing to halt the progressive nature of my disease, instead purely treating the pain symptoms and ignoring the ongoing damage to my body. Humira stops my body's immune system from attacking my body by inhibiting the production of a specific range of proteins (antibodies).
It's not an exaggeration to say that, for me, Humira is essentially a miracle drug.
My medication would cost me ~$1600 per month without health insurance. It's caused me to stay at my job just to keep my health coverage rather than take a more flexible job (without insurance) that would allow me to more effectively pursue my studies.
Right now 10% (according to the article) of health insurance providers have migrated to the Tier 4 pricing plan. Eventually they'll all spread to that, as it's more profitable for them. When that happens, all I can do is thank God that I don't have a terminal illness -- just one that will eventually all but cripple me and leave me dependent upon public assistance when I can no longer work.
Hell, just toss me in the fucking Soylent Green vat now and be done with pretenses.
All you currently healthy people who don't see a problem here, good luck. I hope you have the fortune to stay that way until our "health care" system is overhauled so that you're not punished even further for having the misfortune of being sick.
I mean that. I wouldn't wish my forseeable future on anyone else, and I'm not even as bad off as those with potentially terminal illnesses.

Wow, that's terrible. My wife is on Humira, Celebrex and Cymbalta among others for her RA. I will definitely be doing more research on this. Thanks for the heads-up, Farscry.
P.S. If you are on Humira due to arthritis, have you talked to your local chapter of the
Arthritis Foundation
? They're usually trying to get new laws passed, etc exactly for reasons like this. My wife is on the board for the Houston branch, and she's always going to meetings and speaking to groups and lawmakers. You should check it out.
PM me if you want more info or what have you.
Good luck. I know it's rough.

Quote from: the article
the most innovative and promising new treatments for conditions like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis can cost $100,000 and more a year
She had been taking Copaxone since multiple sclerosis was diagnosed in 2000, buying a 30 days supply at a time. And even though the drug costs $1,900 a month, Kaiser required only a $20 co-payment.
But Sprycel, which he will have to take for the rest of his life, costs more than $13,500 for a 90-day supply
Wellcare declined to say what Tykerb might cost, but its list price according to a standard source, Red Book, is $3,480 for 150 tablets, which may last a patient 21 days.
Well that's yer problem right there.
After years of not really being concerned with health insurance. This year has been a wake up call for me. We've paid about $2k for my son getting tubes in his ears, and I'm looking at a denied claim for $7k for a CT for me that wasn't precertified and took maybe 10 minutes to perform, wondering when the bill will come in the mail.
Luckily we don't have any on-going prescription needs and we can survive these costs if they don't continue to stack up, but crap healthcare is expensive.
It was this moment that took the movie from being a little ho-hum to holy shit, did that shark just eat a plane!?

I didn't realize the Arthritis Foundation was that active, I thought it was more of just an information group. I'll definitely have to look into that.
I'm lucky that I have a milder form of arthritis than your wife: psoriatic arthritis. By "milder" I just mean that it doesn't progress quite as rapidly and severely as RA does, not that it's actually a mild disease.

Shining Star: Lakeside's Kayley Watkins
NINE MILE FALLS, Wash. - Kayley Watkins was one of the most dominant hitters in the state this past season. So dominant, that she even put up 24 kills in one match.
"Going for a kill is a great feeling - I love it," says Watkins. "It's just going up to smash the ball down is a great feeling."
"She has grown so much as a volleyball player," says Lakeside volleyball coach Kara Moffatt. "It's just amazing, she just has a shot that's really hard to defend against and she just puts it down."Shining Star: Lakeside's Kayley Watkins
Something that's happened time and time again, as the Eagles captured a district and regional title, with Kayley setting the tone.
"As a senior, I definitely wanted to be a leader on the court, I wanted obviously to do our very best that we could, and I knew we had a ton of potential this year," says Watkins.
"She's quiet, but when we needed her about mid-season to become more vocal on the floor, she went to that next level. When she talks, people listen to her," adds Moffatt.
Playing at the next level is also on Kayley's horizon, as she hopes to continue balancing the books and the kills next fall.
"It's pretty hard sometimes, a lot of late nights, but I guess just school work comes first and then practice," says Watkins.
A balance that transitioned onto the court and led Lakeside to its best finish in six years.

Simmered all day in the slow cooker, this flavorful vegetarian stew makes a hearty dinner. You'll need only 20 minutes to get it cooking!
Be sure to leave the soy-protein links frozen until ready to add to the cassoulet. They will thaw and cook without overcooking while the cassoulet cooks. If you have a veggie sausage that is not frozen, cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks and add during the last hour of cooking.

Hi Ivor & Kate, so great to catch up. Wish you both everything of the best and keepenjoying every moment of your incredible travels. Much love, Laura MacGiles
Vegas Baby
Loading Map
It is hard to describe Vegas, the city that never sleeps is probably a good choice. It is the perfect place for a batchelor party (Ivor knows this as this was the first of 4 parties for him), yet there is also a non-party side to it. There are amazing shows (we went to see Cirque de Soleil - 'O' at the Bellagio), good restaurants, luxury 5 star hotels, spas (thanks Sonia), various experiences (including training dolphins for a day – that is for next time) and shopping.
We spent some good time around the pool even though the temperature was hitting the mid 40s during the day and mid 30s at night. They say that water is worth more than gold in the desert – we would like to add aircon to that statement!!! We could only manage at most about 15 mins in the sun before either diving into the pool or going back up to the room to enjoy the aircon.
Most days we walked around the many hotels with all their unique attributes. We thought that the Bellagio and Ceasars Palace were the most impressive. There is a new hotel called Aria which is the biggest hotel in the world with over 4000 rooms. One night we went to downtown Vegas to watch the Fremont Experience – a light show that is projected on the biggest screen in the world. We also made a stop into McMullins, an Irish Pub that is owned by Kev's uncle and aunt.
Gambling wise we played the Slot machines, Roulette, Black Jack and learnt a new game – Craps. With beginners luck we managed to come out $100 richer – woo hoo! Unfortunately we didn't make our millions in Vegas (Joe we needed some of your luck) so we can't fly you all out to join us – sorry!
Next Blog will be of the Grand Canyon.....

Great to see that you are enjoying Las Vagas to the full. It looks an amazing town. And Ivor, lady luck was always with you, well certainly on the golf course, hence I'm not surprised you are winning on the slots!
Hi there honemoon couple, it seems that you are having lots of fun - enjoy every moment. I have been to LVegas before and can just imagine all the fun that you be having !!!! we are all fine on the farm, love and miss you. Have fun and stay happily married !!!!! Lots of love Frieda
Hello Kate and Ivor - thoroughly enjoying your blog. We have done the trip that you have just described. Wanted you to know that we went white water rafting - we were picked up from the Aladdin where we stayed and taken to the grand caynon where we met our raft - took around 3.5 hours and we stopped off to go into caves along the way - we helicoptered back. It was awesome. I didnt know whether you had this on your itinery but if you didnt and you have the time (and the cash) then its worth it. Take care of you both. Looking forwards to the next leg of the trip... Love Debbie and John
Hi guys,
My oh my, every now and then whilst I'm chipping away at solving the global banking crisis (ahem...) I get an update from you guys. Jealousy doesn't even enter my head - honest....Vegas is a great party town - have fun and enjoy :)
Yep, I knew it... this entry on your travel blog has made me jealous.
Really happy to see that you're having fun!

Business Week: After The Spill (+1)
Art Direction: Patricia Hwang
This illustration for Bloomberg Business Week came together quickly after the story that Patricia Hwang and I had been working on prior to this was killed. The large oil drop is attached to a piece reporting how small, independent drilling companies are being bought up by larger oil corporations in the wake of the Gulf oil spill.
The story which we had been working on previously (which, naturally, I'm now keenly interested in reading), examines how the announcement of Goldman Sachs' new finance reporting guidelines amount to little else than a shuffling of numbers just complex enough to present the impression of work. It's obviously a weighty accusation, so it's entirely possible that tabling the story while conducting further extensive reporting might have been why it was pulled. Details of the sketches I submitted are below.

Reality Check: McCain's New Ad Goes After Obama On Energy Policy
Ad Says Obama Has 'No New Solutions'
MADISON, Wis. - The Republican National Committee has jumped in the ad race in Wisconsin with a spot supporting John McCain.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
The subject once again is energy policy as the RNC goes after Democratic candidate Barack Obama.
The ad lays out the thrust of McCain's energy plans and WISC-TV found that it misleads viewers when it comes to Obama's ideas.
The ad states, "Record gas prices, a climate in crisis. John McCain says solve it now with a balanced plan, alternative energy, conservation, suspending the gas tax and more production here at home. He's pushing his own party to face climate change."
It's true, McCain began voicing concerns over climate change before many in his party. He's also said he would support (or advocate) building new nuclear power plants for alternative energy.
He would create a gas tax "holiday" from Memorial Day to Labor Day and is in support of offshore oil drilling. President George W. Bush recently lifted a ban on offshore drilling with an executive order.
But when it comes to McCain's opponent, the ad doesn't get the policies quite right, a WISC-TV analysis found.
Obama is for conservation but he said no to lower gas taxes.
This is true as Obama opposes a summer suspension of the nearly 20-cent federal gas tax. He's said he doesn't believe the savings will be passed on to consumers.
The ad continued in relation to Obama, "No to nuclear, no to more production, no new solutions."
Two of these claims are misleading, a WISC-TV analysis found. First, Obama is not opposed to nuclear power. He's said he favors nuclear energy if it is done in a clean and safe manner with a way to dispose of the waste.
McCain's plan to add a hundred nuclear plants in the U.S. has not identified a way to dispose of waste.
It's true that Obama is against offshore drilling specifically because he said it won't offer any oil price relief for years. But saying Obama offers "no new solutions" is again misleading.
Obama's "new energy" plan includes $150 million in spending for clean energy -- including coal and hybrid technology and other provisions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting renewable fuels.
The ad finishes by saying that Obama is "just the party line ,comma " citing a study by The Congressional Quarterly that tracks votes on what they call party unity.
It's true Obama did vote with the Democratic majority 97 percent of the time.
For the record, according to the same vote study, McCain voted with his party 90 percent of the time, a WISC-TV analysis found.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Tupelo Police worked two separate accidents on Highway 45 Wednesday afternoon that resulted in no serious injuries, but did block traffic around the 5 p.m. hour.
Tupelo Police said the first accident took place at the Highway 45 and Main Street ramp and involved three vehicles. Another accident took place near that location when an 18-wheeler hit the side of a car. Neither accident resulted in serious injuries.
According to police around 7 p.m. traffic flow in the area was returning to normal.
