Buy Sheet Music by
John Barry at:
The overused term "British Invasion," as applied to the culture of popular music, is widely thought to have commenced with the arrival of the "Fab Four," The Beatles, at New York's Kennedy International Airport, in February 1964. If truth be told, the so-called invasion actually started two years earlier, in 1962, when the British army veteran, and rock and roll band leader, John Barry, moved out of the ranks of touring and recording rockers, and into the world of motion picture music.
Barry, the son of a classical pianist mother and a father who owned a chain of motion picture theaters, was born in November 1933, and as a young child developed a strong proclivity for music. He learned both the piano and trumpet, and coincidentally, developed an abiding interest in films. To this day, he claims that he knew as a growing boy and young man that he wanted to be a film composer. In fact, at 15, he worked for a time in the semi-related field of film projectionist.
Barry later enlisted in the British Army and during his tour of duty, furthered his interest and skills in music, by taking a correspondence course in composition and orchestration. Mustered out of the armed forces in 1957, he put his schooling to work by forming a rock and roll band, John Barry and the Seven. With a series of live and television performances under their belts, the band was signed by EMI's Parlophone record label, which soon released a first album, The Big Beat, as well as various singles.
Continuing in the rock genre, Barry drew an assignment in 1969 to score his first film, "Beat Girl." Following this movie music debut, he accepted new assignments for more scores, specifically, "Never Let Me Go" and "The Amorous Prawn." Simultaneously, he was continuing with his own pop music career with a second album, Strongbeat, and a variety of singles.
Barry and his band were doing extremely well with their recordings and touring schedules, when in 1962, the break that changed his career direction came along. The producers of the very first James Bond Movie, "Dr. No," approached him with an offer to work on the project, specifically, to compose the song that would become the James Bond theme.
The initial Bond success soon led to additional assignments, specifically the next two James Bond films, "From Russia with Love" and "Goldfinger." Both were major successes on the best-selling charts and led to Barry's scoring of nine other James Bond films, through several different actual James Bonds, first with Sean Connery and later with Roger Moore. No other composer scored more than one in the series.
While Barry might well have stylistically painted himself into a corner with the Bond action-oriented movies, they actually proved useful stepping-stones to other genres of subject matter. During the '60s, his successes included musical scores for such diverse motion pictures as "The Ipcress File," "Born Free" and "The Lion in Winter." For the latter two films, he won Oscars for "best original score," as he also did later for "Out of Africa" and "Dances with Wolves." The Oscar for "best original song" also went to "Born Free." Later, his scores for "Chaplin" and "Mary, Queen of Scots," were Oscar nominees.
Barry also is the owner of four Grammy Awards, including "Out of Africa" for "best instrumental composition;" "Dances with Wolves" for "best instrumental composition written for a motion picture or for television;" "The Cotton Club" for "best instrumental performance, big band;" and "Midnight Cowboy" for "best instrumental theme."
Barry's movie assignments continue to include themes for a wide diversity of films, including "The Dove," "Peggy Sue Got Married," "Cry the Beloved Country," "Body Heat" and "Indecent Proposal," among numerous others. Most recently, John Barry is represented by "Swept from the Sea," and the recently released, "Mercury Rising."

While primary prevention of lead hazards remains the essential public health goal, the only way to identify individual lead-poisoned children is by screening for blood lead. Children are at the greatest risk from the time they begin to crawl until six years of age. Under California law and consistent with recommendations of the CDC, children with identified risk factors should be screened at age one and again at age two (See Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Managing Elevated Blood Lead Levels Among Young, Children. Atlanta, GA: US Dept. of Health and Human Services, March 2002).
Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 37000 and following, requires health care providers to do the following:
Of course, a child may be tested for blood lead at any age if appropriate or at the request of the parent or guardian. The health care provider also may choose to question the caregiver about other lead hazards known to be common in his or her community, such as the use of lead amulets in some Southeast Asian communities.
Note that these regulations apply to all physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, not just Medi-Cal or CHDP providers.
Note that these regulations apply to all physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, not just Medi-Cal or CHDP providers.
The health care provider should consult the state CLPPB at 510-620-5600 or the local childhood lead poisoning prevention program for detailed information. Note that chelation is not generally considered appropriate until BLLs are at or above the level of 45 µg/dL. It is also important to remember that screening may be by capillary draw, but all subsequent tests should be on venous specimens.

The problem with the FRC is that its positions aren't simply informed by Biblical principles. If the group's public policy work were limited to Biblically driven public policy advocacy and self-liberty interests, there would be little controversy about their place in our plural society's marketplace of ideas.
In my post last week, I stated that no one should be exploiting the tragic FRC shooting for political gain. That's why I and many others are greatly disappointed by the press conference you held last week, and I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to have a public discussion with me about hate.

I guess its a matter of opinion just like our 2nd admendment rights,,,some people think our founding fathers meant bb guns and sling shots ,,some think it was only talking about the military. Some seem to think the citizen should only own this or that.
Well I believe our founding fathers meant something a little different than what we have today.
Some think we can say what ever we want including burning the flag or yelling fire in a crowded theater.
Some think there should be common sence discresion.
Its ovious our 1st right ( saying anything and everything is what our founding fathers intended) And as far as our second right is one is concerned.,,, well you finish the sentence.
Just like religion, we can all make documents smean what we want them to smean. Words don't mean anything anymore
Sorry Joe, at 1 John 5:7 the discussion of them being considered one is based on unity of thought. See John 17:21, 1 Cor 3:8, John 10:30. The greek "Hen" is consistantly translated throughout the bible as agreement or oneness in purpose or thought UNQUOTE
Paul stop it your impressing me
The thing about the 1st is its ability to work both ways on an issue. While I find the position of those that preach hate in any of its forms to be objectionable in the extreme, as an American citizen I have a duty to see that they have a right to speak.
Congratulations on being able to divine the reasons that others do the things they do. I am still trying to figure out why I do some of the stuff I do.

Since the beginning of civilization has there been anything ,man made or natural, that has killed more people than the believe that my god is better than your god. Can't we step back for a second and how ridiculous this is. For our believe that religion is good, and that it teaches us morality and humility. we sure seem to forget how many people it has harmed.
Sure there has, the plague, volcano's, Tsunami's. Hitler killed many to get rid their religion not just Jews , but Christians too. He subscribed to Nietzsche's philosophy about religion and humanity. Which is that religion is for the weak and the weak are holding up the eventual evolution of a master race.
This is one of my favorite authors he was a Lutheran Pastor who wrote some good stuff sitting in a concentration camp waiting to die for his faith. I don't think it is as simple as religion is bad and the world would be at peace without it. The world would still be at war even without Dawkins "Purple people eater in the sky".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Bonhoeffer"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children."In 1939, Bonhoeffer joined a secret group of high-ranking military officers based in the Abwehr, or Military intelligence Office, who wanted to overthrow the National Socialist regime by killing Hitler. Bonhoeffer was arrested in April 1943 after money used to help Jews escape to Switzerland was traced to him. He was charged with conspiracy and imprisoned in Berlin for a year and a half.
In Flossenbürg, Bonhoeffer was executed by hanging at dawn on 1945 April 9, just three weeks before the liberation of Berlin and one month before the capitulation of Nazi Germany. The manner of execution was, like other executions associated with the July 20 Plot, so brutal and graphic that even Wehrmacht soldiers were loathe to watch. Bonhoeffer was stripped of clothing in his cell, tortured and ridiculed by the guards, and led naked into the execution yard. The lack of sufficient gallows to hang thousands of Germans after the July 20 Plot had caused Hitler and Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels to seize on the idea of using meathooks from slaughterhouses[3] and slowly hoisting the victim to dangle from an incrementally tightening noose formed of piano wire.[4] The asphyxiation is thought to have taken approximately half an hour.[5]

By Teresa M. Walker/The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Andrew Luck came through against the Tennessee Titans just like the Colts quarterback he replaced used to.
The rookie who took over for Peyton Manning threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Vick Ballard (Mississippi State) 4:49 into overtime and the surprising Indianapolis Colts beat the Titans 19-13 on Sunday.
The Colts (4-3) have beaten Tennessee in seven of eight overall and seven of the past 10 in Nashville. Manning was in charge of the Colts before moving to the Denver Broncos this season.
Luck lead the Colts on a pair 80-yard touchdown drives. The No. 1 overall draft pick set up Delone Carter's 1-yard TD run that tied it at 13 with 3:24 left in the fourth quarter.
In overtime, Ballard capped the drive, taking a screen pass and going up the left side where the rookie got his feet knocked out from underneath him as the Titans tried to get him out of bounds. Ballard crossed the goal line upside down with his head hitting the pylon for the TD. Officials reviewed the play before ruling it a score.
The Titans (3-5) had won two in a row, but had a couple of chances to win this one in regulation.
After Carter's TD run, Tennessee moved down the field and Matt Hasselbeck overthrew tight end Jared Cook on what would have been a touchdown. Then Hasselbeck was incomplete before the Titans punted back to the Colts with 56 seconds left.
Tennessee thought it had recovered a fumble that would allow Rob Bironas to win the game in regulation. Colts fullback Dwayne Allen was stripped of the ball after a catch, and Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner recovered at the Colts 28. Officials ruled Allen down due, and the Colts kneeled down to run out the final seconds to reach overtime.
The Colts won the toss, took the ball and never gave it back.
Donald Brown, who had eight carries for 41 yards in regulation, got the ball on the first six plays of overtime and ran for 39 yards. Facing third-and-8 from the Titans 36, Luck stood in the pocket and found Reggie Wayne for a 20-yard completion. A play later, Luck tossed the screen, and Ballard did the rest to finish off the victory.
Indianapolis outgained Tennessee 457-339, and Luck was 26 of 38 for 297 yards. Adam Vinatieri also kicked two field goals.
The Titans led most of the game, tied only at 3-3 in the first quarter and late in regulation. Hasselbeck was 22 of 29 for 236 yards with a TD pass that was the 200th of his career making him the 32nd player in NFL history to reach that mark. Chris Johnson ran for 99 yards, and Rob Bironas kicked two field goals while missing a 45-yarder wide right.
But the Titans came in giving up more points than any team in the NFL, and they just couldn't make the stop to give their offense one last chance. They sacked Luck twice. Michael Griffin got an interception and also blocked a 37-yard field goal at the end of the first half.
It wasn't enough.
The Titans pressured Luck repeatedly in their first shot at their division rival's new quarterback. Luck had a couple passes batted down but found open receivers time and again.

Focus on Funds
Apollo Global Still 'In Harvesting Mode'
A year ago, Leon Black, the chairman and CEO of Apollo Global Management (APO), said the private-equity operator was "selling everything that's not nailed down."
This morning, UBS analysts Brennan Hawken and David Eads write that the firm "remains in harvesting mode":
APO remains in harvesting mode in its PE funds due to the healthy market environment, generating considerable distributions for shareholders. We expect private equity realizations will remain healthy for some time, while increased management fees and realized carry from credit funds should help support a healthy distribution going forward. While identifying compelling investment opportunities has been difficult recently, we expect APO will remain opportunistic, and we believe the firm's Aviva acquisition is an extremely attractive source of permanent capital.
After the stock's 105% surge in 2013, what more is left for investors? Hawken and Eads estimate, among other things, a 2014 yield north of 8%:
Even though APO's 2013 pay-out of nearly $4 per share is unlikely to be sustained, we came away increasingly confident that the firm should continue to pay out a highly attractive distribution in a more normalized environment. We expect APO can deliver significant growth in fee-based revenues and realizations from credit carry funds, partially offsetting a decline in private equity realizations. We see our 2014E $2.60 distribution as closer to normalized, resulting in a very attractive yield of over 8%.

Construction on Bloor between Avenue Road in the west and Yonge Street in the east is starting to be cleared. Revealed beneath the trucks and equipment are bicycle stencils on the fresh asphalt.
Now, these aren't sharrows as they are missing directional chevrons.
And these aren't bike lanes as they are missing painted lines and the diamond.
Best guess is that these are sharrows simply missing their hats as there are sharrows on Bloor east of Yonge. After studies and continuous calls from the public for better bicycle infrastructure on Bloor, it looks like all we're getting for now is a little paint that cars can soon park on.

Right before Christmas, I introduced a thread on a new hunt opportunity here in New Mexico. I've had a few inquiries about this hunt, so I thought I would put up another thread regarding it. I'm not trying to pressure anybody, but I want to make sure everyone knows about it. It is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for whoever wins it.
The New Mexico Game Commission has authorized two tags for a spring Goulds turkey hunt in 2009. This is the first hunt for Goulds in the modern era for the only indigenous Goulds population in the U.S. One tag is being auctioned on the NWTF website (see their on-line auctions), and one tag is being raffled off between now and the beginning of March.
There are 3000 tickets available in the raffle at $10 each. The raffle hunt winner can either use the hunt themselves or they can sell, barter, trade, or otherwise dispose of the tag however they want (the tag can likely be sold for several thousand dollars). The monies raised in both the auction and the raffle will be used to support Goulds wild turkey management efforts in New Mexico.
If any of you out there in T&TH forum-land are interested in obtaining raffle tickets for this hunt, please let me know (you can p.m. me). ...Or if anyone would like more information on this hunt, I can post it here.
I have been involved in setting up this hunt and have been to the hunt area on many occasions. The hunt will take place in the extreme southwest corner of NM, known as the "Bootheel" country, right above the Mexican border. It is a unique, sparsely populated area, and there are a good number of Goulds turkeys scattered through the mountain range that makes up the Goulds habitat. (I will try to put up a picture of the area in another post).
The winning hunter can kill one Goulds gobbler during the April 15th to May 10th NM season. If any of you decide to buy a ticket(s), and end up winning the hunt, you can rest assured that I will provide as much information and assistance as I can to insure you have a great hunt!

He a quick video of a group of Scouts I am extremely proud of.
Going into Camporee this year our goal was simply to have fun. With as many new Scouts as we have, the expectation of Top Troop was unrealistic, and that's ok.
But what happened was the Scouts of 664 showed their motivation and ability to just have fun. And still ended up walking away with 6 streamers for winning events.
I am real proud of the troop. They are a fantastic group of young men.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Now your point that the O2 in the water is used during the night and not supplemented is entirely true.
The point I was trying to make is that a casual reader might get the impression that a densely planted tank means the fish will suffocate during the night. If that was so then the densely planted jungle tanks some people keep would not be able to support life and that's simply not so.
18 fish of serpae tetra size in a 75 gallon is not exactly dense stocking.
So.. my point was that O2 levels during the night might play a role but perhaps there's something else at work here as well.
As to bubblers... I know from the aquascaping crowd that simply producing big bubbles doesn't lead to much gas absorption in the case of Co2. I don't see how that would be different for O2. (and you're not just pumping in pure o2, 4/5 of the bubbles in nitrogen).
Surface agitation, either from a hob filter, a spraybar or even a wavemaker, seems to trap a lot more O2 in the water.
I've tested this in the past. A spraybar slightly over the water level leads to a lot of tiny, tiny bubbles that stay in the water a lot longer than the bigger bubbles created by an airstone and pump.

I totally agree with this, [& CMs post as well] It is the surface agitation that facilitates gas exchange.
This tank is not overstocked or heavily planted IMO & I have to think that there is something else going on.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

From the FTS you showed us i can only see maybe 5 of them in there, and it may have been that he was singled out and picked on to death. If you have more in the school, say 10, it would help to spread out the bickering.
Another thing could be that it was a bad specimen when you bought it. Did you buy them as juveniles or as adults?
[QUOTE-Dave Waits]I tend to agree with Kevin for what it's worth. Add the bubblers to increase the breaking of the surface-tension and drop the temp a couple of degrees. The Temp drop will allow the water to hold more oxygen to offset the Co2 your plants are dumping at night. Most people tend to run their tank temps a little high. Most of the written stuff cites average water temp where the fish come from and automatically believe the fish will die a horrible death if the temp isn't the same. Most freshwater aquarium fish we buy are many generations removed from that wild place. This is why they tolerate a much wider Ph range,etc. Around 75-76 degrees is about right.[/QUOTE]
I adjusted the temp this morning and lowered to 76F. I can add the bubblers if they are really needed, I already have the equipment for it. I am just not too fond of the look and it always makes a mess of the glass canopy.
The concept behind the bubblers is not the bubbles adding o2 to the water. It is the added surface area. That being said I do have a lot of surface agitation going on already.
Any suggestions there?
@CrazedMichael I would have used a spraybar but the new Renas no longer include the spraybars. I could build one I suppose.
I am happy to report that there were no additional deaths overnight. The lights will be on in about an hour. so I will check out their condition then.
Thank you all for the input.Mike

It seems that we mostly agree here. It's true that bubblers don't add a lot of surface agitation (but they can if the pump is turned up and you have a somewhat powerful pump), thus not a lot of dissolved O2, but it produces a steady stream and enough to compensate for any lack of added O2 from plants, especially when fish are not at their most active (at night).
Your point about jungle tanks is well-made, however, if you've taken a look at these tanks, they typically use very small fish, like Neon Tetras, calm fish or they're not heavily stocked at all. There's not a lot of competition going on for oxygen and most O2 that's dissolved in the tank will not be consumed entirely.
If you look at the plant:fish ratio, the plants will certainly out-populate the fish by a good percentage, so the dissolved oxygen being added during the day will probably be sufficient to keep the fish healthy and happy.
The more active the fish, the more oxygen will be used in the tank. Serpaes are very active tetras. About the only time they stop moving and chasing each other around is at night, when they're in energy saving mode. And sometimes they don't even stop then.
I'd like to add that during the time my fish were dying, I had a koralia evolution pump, in addition to a standard filter outlet (not spray bar) from my cascade 1000 cannister filter. It wasn't until later that I switched to a spray bar. It's possible I don't need the bubblers anymore. However the Koralia pump + filter outlet did create quite a lot of surface agitation. Who knows...
I'm glad you didn't see any deaths overnight. Hopefully you don't have anymore, but when this was happening to me, the death rate would drop to every other day. I think I went 2 days without a death once. I had about 7 or so Tetras die at that point, until I could figure out what the problem was. 7 fish in a week or so doesn't just happen... even if they're sick, it would take longer than that - and none of them showed any symptoms (perfect looking specimens). Even the Serpaes that I added to the school from my 10gal (I had 3 healthy, beautiful Serpaes from there - which had lived for months) ended up dying.
Just more food for thought.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

OP - Very easy to make a spraybar out of PVC and a drill. But you could also try to adjust the tube of the filter output to encourage ripples in the same manner.
Hope you havent had any mroe deaths. I like Sepae Tetras i have a large school myself and they are fun to watch.Fiiiiiiiiiiissssshhhhhh!
The points Kevin and Michael have made make me want to do a proper test. See if I can figure out a way to measure dissolved o2.

Graduate of Pontiac High School 1939, Eastern Michigan University, and Wayne State University. Following his wartime service in the Pacific on the U.S.S. Tate (AKA-70) he was an instrumental music teacher in Utica and then the Pontiac Public Schools. After a short stint as a principal he became a personnel director for the Pontiac Schools serving in that position until the early 1980's. He coauthored several manuals for Educational Personnel Practices, Inc., that served as the foundation for his private consulting business. A lifelong musician, he loved to play and teach the flute right up until the time of his passing. During his retirement he stayed busy in his wood shop constructing a wide variety of wood crafts under the moniker of Crewcraft. Little pleased him more than giving these items away as gifts to anyone who showed him friendship or kindness. This was a true testament to his character for he believed and taught that by giving of yourself the world would return those gifts in unimaginable ways. A Memorial Service will be held at the Sylvan Lake Community Center followed by internment at Great Lakes National Cemetery at a date yet to be determined.Published in Daily Tribune on Oct. 15, 2014+Read More Share Listen to Obituary Remember Share a message, photo, or video below View all messages 8 "Mr. Crew was a very talented man.

We offer two ways to locate information:
La Cartuja was the name assigned during
medieval times, to a large geographical area governed by the Cartussian
monks. This geographical area had its own code of law (similar to the Vatican
estates). During medieval times Priorat as a whole was a "Cartuja". It wasn't a civil domain but a religious state. Needless to say that Priorat's winemaking heritage belongs to the Cartussian monks who tended these difficult isolated
vineyards for centuries. As a side note, if you are looking for the oldest vines in Spain and the best areas to make wine look for the areas where the monks established themselves during medieval times.
What makes La Cartuja Unique?
Estate-owned small production wine; a
singular location at the heart of Priorat; Organic viticulture; oak ageing is short, a Priorat wine that shows depth but drinkability while young; an extraordinary value!

Category: Horseshoe Crabs view all from this category
Description The Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is a marine chelicerate arthropod. Despite its name, it is more closely related to spiders, ticks, and scorpions than to crabs. Horseshoe crabs are most commonly found in the Gulf of Mexico and along the northern Atlantic coast of North America. A main area of annual migration is Delaware Bay, although stray individuals are occasionally found in Europe.
The other three species in the family Limulidae are also called horseshoe crabs. The Japanese horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus) is found in the Seto Inland Sea, and is considered an endangered species because of loss of habitat. Two other species occur along the east coast of India: Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda. All four are quite similar in form and behavior.
Habitat Mud flats, Ocean or bay shallows, Sandy beaches.
Range Mid-Atlantic, New England, Texas, Florida.

Waterlily pond, green harmony

oil on canvas

A Japanese bridge hovers above a gentle stream filled with colourful waterlilies. Willow trees hang softly over the water and the sharper foliage of reeds is visible at the pond's edge. The textures of the vegetation are reflected in the calm waters of the pond. Claude Monet encloses us in a cocoon of tranquil, green space where no sky is seen. The location is the artist's famous garden at Giverny, a village on the river Seine 80 km from Paris, where he lived with his family from 1883.
The arch of the bridge divides the canvas into two sections. The upper half is painted in an array of greens, grey-blues and pale yellows; the lower half in a mixture of light blues, greens and pinks. The painting's title, Lily pond, green harmony suggests that the elements of the composition create a pleasing visual experience. Other senses are also activated as we become aware of the coolness of the water, the intoxicating scent of the waterlilies mixed with the warm air surrounding the scene.
When Monet settled at Giverny with Alice Hoschedè and their large, melded family he diverted a small stream and began work on a pond and magnificent gardens. The subject was to become the main focus of his work until his death in 1926.

WAVELAND — Police say an abandoned car found in Waveland, Miss., is connected to a slaying this past weekend in New Orleans.
The blue 2007 Honda Accord was found Tuesday night in the coastal Mississippi town, about an hour's drive west of New Orleans.
Its license plate number matched that of a car belonging to 27-year-old Fernando Eyzaguirre, who was found shot to death Sunday morning.
Eyzaguirre's body was found in the parking lot of a strip mall in the Algiers section of New Orleans.
A New Orleans police detective went to Waveland and had the car towed back to the city.

judging by your words,,,i'd say you're HOOKED. hope you have a subscription to T&TH magazine.
every chance you can get close to the birds , even during the off season,to observe their actions ,watch them as they call,and listen intently to their vocalizations,will be a top of the line education.look at the terrain,the thickets ,the open timber. make mental notes of these places so you will be able to use them to your advantage during the hunt. SADDLES,,,those little dips in the top of a ridge , turkeys love to use saddles to cross over the ridge top,moving from one side to the other.
have you tried the new calls yet? keep at them , they will work.
not everyone will set up the same way. some like to be in a more open setting so they can watch the birds movements. personally i like to be just inside a thicket. or maybe just around the point of a thicket or steep ridge. i've had more consistent success using this method as it will put the bird inside gun range when he reaches the spot where he can see where the call came from. he will likely hang up if you can see him 100yards or so across a holler.when i say thicket , i mean just enough cover to cause me to blend in better and to cause him to keep looking for the hen that convinced him to come around the ridge point or around the thickets point. take pictures and log your hunts .

Track Tracks are small, blurry marks, often showing drag mark of tail. Shrew tracks are seldom seen and are usually composed of only a few dots in dust, snow or sand.
Sign Burrows less than 1" (25 mm) across, wider than high. Piles of snail shells under logs. Bulky nests, 68" (150200 mm) wide, of shredded grass or leaves beneath a log or stump. Tracks and other signs are of limited usefulness in identifying shrews, both elements are tiny and not distinctive. Burrows are often so small they might be mistaken for tunnels of large earthworms, and prints are often blurred dots. Those interested in identifying the whereabouts of shrews should look for tiny burrow openings in the ground, in a bank, or in moss, or for runways of freshly disturbed soil under a log or under the lip of a bank.

Great bread idea! These carrot scones are ready in just 35 minutes and served warm with a spicy glaze drizzled on them.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can make your own by mixing 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves. Make wedge-shaped scones by patting dough into a circle and cutting into wedges before baking.

Binghamton University to award more than 3,290 degrees during Commencement
Binghamton University will confer an estimated 3,290 degrees for bachelor's, master's and doctoral candidates during the 2005 Commencement ceremonies Saturday, May 14, and Sunday, May 15, in the Events Center.
The ceremony for the Graduate School will be held at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday, the ceremony for the professional schools will begin at 9 a.m., with the ceremony for Harpur College of Arts and Sciences graduates scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m.
Letitia Lehua Moffitt, a doctoral candidate in English/creative writing, will offer the student address at the Graduate School ceremony on Saturday.
The University will award an honorary degree to Ada Sue Hinshaw during Commencement ceremonies for the professional schools on Sunday morning. She will also give remarks.
Dean and professor of the one of the top five nursing programs in the country at the Michigan School of Nursing, Hinshaw will receive the honorary Doctor of Science degree. Her work in research methods and measurement has brought her to the pinnacle of the nursing profession.
Hinshaw began her academic career as an instructor for the University of Kansas School of Nursing before moving on to the University of California at San Francisco, the University of Arizona and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Hinshaw's research has brought her to the forefront of her profession. Her contributions include authoring more than 100 articles covering topics as diverse as the interface of nursing and biologic science to innovative retention strategies for nursing staff. She is particularly known for her extensive work in measurement techniques.
She has co-authored two books: Magnet Hospitals Revisited: Attraction and Retention of Professional Nurses (2002), and Handbook of Clinical Nursing Research (1999).
Hinshaw's reputation as a researcher earned her the directorship of the National Institute of Health based National Center for Nursing Research when it was formed in 1988. The Center had become a full-fledged National Institute of Nursing by the time she completed her service there in 1998. In 2001, she was elected President of the American Academy of Nursing, the profession's most elite community of scholars. She is also one of only a few nurses to be invited to be a member of the prestigious Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science.
Matthew Schneider, who will receive his bachelor of science in business management with concentrations in finance and marketing and minors in international studies and economics, will give the student address at the professional schools ceremony.
Remarks during the ceremony for Harpur College of Arts and Sciences at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, will be made by U.S. Representative (D-NY) Maurice Hinchey.
Hinchey has been a respected statesman and legislator from the time he was elected to the New York State Assembly by the voters of Ulster County in 1975. A U.S. Navy veteran, Hinchey became chair of the state's Environmental Conservation Committee in 1979. Under his leadership, the committee conducted a successful investigation into the causes of "Love Canal," the nation's first major toxic dumpsite. He developed landmark environmental legislation that includes the nation's first law to control acid rain and led the fight — first in Albany and later in Washington — to force the cleanup of PCBs from the Hudson River. Hinchey was responsible for the development of the statewide system of Urban Cultural Parks (now called Heritage Areas), including those in Kingston and Binghamton, and authored the act creating the Hudson River Valley Greenway.
Between 1982 and 1992, Hinchey led an investigation into organized crime's control of the waste-hauling industry that led to the conviction of more than 20 criminal figures. After 18 years as a state assemblyman, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992. From January 1993 through December 1998, he was a member of the House's Committee on Banking and Financial Services and Committee on Natural Resources, after which his colleagues elected him to the House Appropriations Committee. There, he serves on its subcommittees on Agriculture and the Interior, where he has been a strong advocate for the integrity of American agriculture, focusing on protecting the family farm and the safety of the food supply.
He continues to be a firm and effective defender of America's natural resources, especially national parks and wilderness areas. Hinchey also serves on the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees at State University of New York-New Paltz, and did advanced graduate work in public administration and economics at the State University of New York at Albany.
Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) will make brief welcoming remarks.
The student speaker will be Ira Glasser, a bachelor of arts in history and Judaic studies candidate. Glasser will also receive the International Studies Certificate.

Every once in a while a movie comes along that promises to be a neverending buffet of beefcake, with casting decisions that make you weep and raise your eyes to the ceiling to thank whatever benevolent deity decided to round up these fit men and rip off all their clothes. Today, that project is Steven Soderbergh's tale of the enduring friendship between two male strippers, Magic Mike.
But maybe you've been too distracted by the sheer spectrum of male objectification that this movie promises, and you don't even know who's going to be in it! There's at least one bad boy, but is he from the current crop or ten years ago? (Hint: Both.) Have you heard about the True Blood star who's in final talks to join? And which one is Magic Mike?! We've got all the answers for you.
Plus, we've tracked down shirtless photos of them… so you can get an idea of what Soderbergh's vision for the movie is, of course.

Question Evan, at what approx. age do you teach 3 handed casting?
I do it as mentioned shortly after FF which would be 7 or 8 months old at which time the dog knows what SIT, NO and GOOD DOG means which is all I need instead of a rope and to me that is way easier to use than a rope. I actually I think the rope hampers the trainer as well as the dog. I too teach it short and simple one pile at a time, so that I DONT need a rope.
I have seen your video. Not knocking it just giving a different view point. I have seen most of your material and also agree with most of it and think that it is very good for a lot of people. I have also worked with a few people that went by your program that wouldn't listen to anything else. Well Evan doesn't do it that way or Evan does this only to see them a year or two down the road doing something a little different and I just say that's what I was trying to tell you a year ago.
I say use Smartworks there is tons of good stuff in there but don't forget to think for yourself. Personally I think your program is to heavy and robotic on drill work. People and dog both need to think for themselves.

//Display brightness//Each digit is on for a certain amount of microseconds//Then it is off until we have reached a total of 20ms for the function call//Let's assume each digit is on for 1000us//If each digit is on for 1ms, there are 4 digits, so the display is off for 16ms.//That's a ratio of 1ms to 16ms or 6.25% on time (PWM).//Let's define a variable called brightness that varies from://5000 blindingly bright (15.7mA current draw per digit)//2000 shockingly bright (11.4mA current draw per digit)//1000 pretty bright (5.9mA)//500 normal (3mA)//200 dim but readable (1.4mA)//50 dim but readable (0.56mA)//5 dim but readable (0.31mA)//1 dim but readable in dark (0.28mA)
You are saying its OK to pulse it at 100mA, my manufacturer says 30mA - hmm .Some TV remote controls use the internal resistance of the battery to limit the current through the IREDs, perhaps your running 192 LEDs from a couple of AA batteries is doing the same, how many LEDs are on at the same time ?Whichever, its bad practice.I run my 25mA rated LEDs at 18mA, and out of the last 25,000 LEDs since October, I have had only a couple of failures, so I stick to that current.I am pulsing the latest project ( 50% ) at 21 mA, still well inside of the recommended current.
I never said it was ok to pulse 100ma to anything,
I dont know how much current the LEDs Im using are running at,
I have read that you can safely double the safe limit when using a duty cycle less than 50%,
3) You think that any activity that doesn't immediately kill you is a safe activity.
QuoteI never said it was ok to pulse 100ma to anything,So have you measured what you supposed good LEDs are actually taking?There are two things getting damaged the LEDs and the electronics driving them.QuoteI dont know how much current the LEDs Im using are running at,So how do you know you are not damaging things?QuoteI have read that you can safely double the safe limit when using a duty cycle less than 50%,Safely doubling safe limits is an oxymoron. You can read all sorts of rubbish on the internet, it doesn't make it true.I can only tell you what will work 100% of the time for 100% of the people. I know this because I have spent my whole lave you measured what you supposed good LEDs are actually taking?There are two things gife designing reliable electronics. Any idiot can design unreliable electronics that works for maybe two or three years. Or that works and significantly shortens the life of parts.You can of course choose to ignore this, I can not stop you from being a total idiot. What I can do is point out that you are an idiot and point out why you are an idiot and why you are suffering from self delusions. Hopefully I can stop sensible people from following your idiotic total lack of logic.1) You do not have enough equipment or expertise to know if you are damaging a component.2) You appear not to know about peak current and power dissipation and how that relates to average current and average power dissipation.3) You think that any activity that doesn't immediately kill you is a safe activity.
What is true, is that you *want* to call me an idiot,
1) You do not have enough equipment or expertise to know if you are damaging a component.
The thing is that I would love to know wich rules/relations/equations does this guy use to get the current average just with the amount of time that the led is on and off, in this part of the code:
Engineering isn't about "you cannot do that", or "that's wrong". Engineering is about knowing why you cannot do it so you know when / where you can do it.People holding a simplistic view just lack common sense to understand that.

I finally got to take a picture of the view outside my window. This is what I look at when I spin around and look behind me if I'm sitting at my computer desk. You can see a Lilac bush, there are two more evenly spaced between my house and the brick wall. Once the lilacs are gone, then they are just lawn obstacles that I have to mow around.
Speaking of my computer desk. I also am attaching a picture of that, seeing as I garbage picked it last month when the town I live in has free trash pick up day. You see once a year you can throw away anything, large or small and you don't have to buy trash stickers to have it hauled away. Otherwise anything over one outside garbage can, you are supposed to purchase garbage refuse stickers for, so if I have a second can of trash, I have to pay an extra $1.75 to get it hauled, throw out a couch, another sticker, leaf debris, well that's another sticker entirely, and it has to be in a brown lawn bag.
So on the one day you can drive around my town, and pick up some decent stuff. The guy who owned the desk ha it partially disassembled and had all the screws required to put it back together, as well as the instructions. He even helped me load it into my car. It's a lot nicer than the desk I had before. Best of all, it was FREE!

Valve's Dota 2 will be officially shown to the public for the first time at this month's Gamescom convention in Cologne, Germany—the same location that will host the game maker's first Dota 2 tournament featuring a million dollar prize.
That's right. One. Million. Dollars.
"The International" tournament will pit 16 of the world's top Dota teams against each other in a double elimination playoff competition planned to run alongside the five-day-long Gamescom trade show. The winning team will walk away with a cool million bucks. Dota fans who can't attend Gamescom can watch the tournament online in Chinese, German, Russian, and English languages free of charge.
Valve also offers an update on the release of Dota 2, which it says will be available on the PC and Mac via Steam "later this year."
Valve's Dota 2 is a somewhat controversial sequel (of sorts) to the Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients, a breed of real-time strategy game that requires players to channel and protect herds of computer-controlled minions as they attack an opposing force. Dota 2 development is being led by "IceFrog," one of the developers of the widely played Defense of the Ancients.

Yep, Israel really doesn't matter.
So let all the nut jobs have nukes in that area.
Example: "the Obama" is going to let Iran develope the Nuke bomb.
He is holding Israel back.
I am stateing right now that when "Ahmanutjob" drops the nuke in the middle of Israel and 6,000,000 jews are wiped out all you Obama supporters will act like you are shocked and surprised!!
Mark it down, if Iran & Korea continue to go the direction they are GOING you better get ready.
Because you are going to find out what HELL is.
(hell=tough times)
If nukes start getting dropped on the oil fields and ports, we get no oil!!
I wonder sometimes how many of the posters here have ever been in a combat situation?
(since some know so much about how it all works, goes the NY Times said so)
I wonder if the posters (some) who care so much about Al-Queda & the Taliban et al ever think about Israel?
A staunch allie that "the Obama" is spitting on now.
Think it through to the end.
The world does not operate in 30 sound bites.
It goes on and on.

By NEMS Daily Journal
We asked the nine writers who covered most of the high school football games for the Journal this fall to share their most memorable moments:
More than Fair
Starkville defensive end David Fair, Jr. suffered a torn knee ligament (ACL) – the third of his high school career – early this season. His two options were: surgery and miss the remainder of the season or wear a brace and play.
Fair elected to play. However, the knee would buckle at times and he would have to be carried from the field. But according to his coach, Jamie Mitchell, Fair, "was tugging on my shirt two plays later, wanting to go back in."
In this year's 5A state title game, Fair lay on the ground in pain and had to be helped off the field. One play later, he was back on the field to help the Jackets stop a Pascagoula drive.
Gene Phelps
'great' play
The most amazing play I saw all season came from Houston senior Chris Jones against Louisville in the Class 4A North State semifinals.
The athletic defensive end leaped into the air, grabbed the interception and raced 71 yards for the score. Nobody got close to him until he reached the goal line.
Not often do you see guys that big (6-foot-5, 250) outrun skill players from Louisville High School. We often throw around the term "great" too much, but that was a "great" play.
Paul Jones
Difference maker
When 8-0 Itawamba AHS traveled to 8-1 Amory on Oct. 19 with Division 1-4A on the line, the game had all the makings of a titanic struggle.
Until Ashton Shumpert stepped onto the field.
The 4-star prospect rushed for 301 yards and five touchdowns to lead his team to a 35-13 victory, but perhaps most memorably was a third quarter third-and-5 play near the Indian goal line.
Shumpert was seemingly stopped for a short gain when he kept his legs churning, shook off tacklers and rumbled up the middle of the field until he was finally pushed out of bounds in Panther territory.
Instead of punting from its own end zone, IAHS was knocking on the door. It was one of many such moments provided by Shumpert this season.
Zach Adams, Itawamba Times
emotional moment
No football coach in the country had to deal with as much as New Albany coach Ron Price, whose wife Amanda was murdered less than a month after the 2011 season ended.
Watching Price walk out of the tunnel on opening night against Ripley with his 4-year-old daughter Molly Addison in his arms and surrounded by his team was chilling.
My own 4-year-old Spencer was in my arms as I shot video of the moment. My wife Jessica was there and my 1-year-old Finley was on my mind.
There wasn't a dry eye there, including mine.
Brandon Speck
Hanging on
One of my favorite moments reminded me about how much work is done by these teams during the week.
New Albany's Boston Newsome had an amazing season, but his best night came after one of his most difficult ones.
He ran for a career-high 306 yards – with no fumbles – at North Pontotoc on Oct. 5 in a 56-13 win. The previous week against Senatobia, however, he had fumbled five times and lost four.
"Last week, I had a good bit of turnovers," Newsome said after the game at Ecru. "That motivated me all week… I walked through practice with a ball in my hand. I ran through practice with a ball in my hand and made sure I put two hands on the ball.
"Coach (Ron) Price made a deal with the team that if I had the ball in the weight room and if anybody got it out of my hand, I would have to pay them $25, and I'm not paying nobody $25," Newsome said, laughing. "I'm holding that ball. And I still got money in my pocket this week."
Jay Tidwell
Getting defensive
My first season covering Tupelo High did not go as well for the Wave as their fans hoped, but the season was not without its standout moments.
Tupelo's defense played on a consistently strong level most of the year, and forcing turnovers was a big factor in their play.
Coordinator Lamar Aldridge sought three turnovers per game from his bunch. Against Grenada, he received double what he asked.
Four of the Golden Wave's six forced turnovers were returned for touchdowns in a 35-14 victory, two off fumbles by Demarcus Rogers and Marcus Robinson while Quinn Tiggs scored on two interceptions.
It's good news for Tupelo that the majority of its defense, including those three, will return for the 2013 season.
Blake Long
An A-plus game
In a season full of plenty of blowouts, by far the best game (and winning moment) I saw all season was this year's A-Game between Amory and Aberdeen. The game had been built up as being the best matchup between the two teams in a long time, and it didn't disappoint.
Aberdeen jumped out to a quick lead, but Amory made a comeback right before halftime and in the beginning of the third quarter. After a field goal that finally gave them a one-point lead, it looked to be their game to lose, as Aberdeen wasn't getting much going offensively in the second half.
Until the last drive of the game, when quarterback Josh Williams marched the Bulldogs down the field in the final three minutes and capped it off in dramatic fashion when he hit Aaron McMillian for the game-winner as the clock expired to give Aberdeen its fourth-straight win in the series.
Melissa Meador, Monroe Journal
Happy accident
I almost missed my most memorable game of 2012.
I was scheduled to cover Walnut at Bruce, but car trouble put an end to that trip. Luckily, I wasn't far enough down the road that I couldn't make it to Biggersville.
Falkner won a shootout, 76-40. Most of Falkner's points (46) came from sophomore running back Jeramie Lawrence, who rushed for a school record seven touchdowns – he also tossed in a couple of two-point runs – and had a school record 433 yards rushing on 27 carries.
In the second quarter alone, the shifty tailback totaled 184 yards with touchdown runs of 46, 35 and 72 yards to help the Eagles to a 33-24 halftime lead.
The basketball type score matched the basketball type runs in the game.
Falkner scored the first 14 points, Biggersville responded with 18 unanswered, but Falkner led at the break. Biggersville scored the first 16 points of the second half to lead 40-32, before Falkner made the final run of the night.
And as he did most of the night, Lawrence led that run with three more trips to the end zone from 23, 19 and 65-yards out.
Kedrick Storey, Southern Sentinel
It's unpredictable
Each high school football season brings a degree of uncertainty, and it is that pure joy and unpredictability that keeps us coming back.
Certainly, I would not have predicted A. J. Rye kicking the game-winning extra point in overtime of a 34-33 Saltillo victory after standing in street clothes most of the contest.
And not to pick on the Blue Devils, but who would have predicted Byhalia defeating Boone-ville 14-6 in the playoffs? A great win for such a relatively young program that I remember covering when they were the last Class 3A school in the state not to have football.
And one wish for 2013 – that I'm able to shake former Booneville coach Jim Drewry's hand at a football game for many more seasons.

Cloaked In Super Success, Packers Celebrate
GREEN BAY ? The dye is officially No. 5535 on the Pantone Matching System color chart. It?s what gives the Pro-Brite heavyweight polyester mesh its dark green hue.
But on Tuesday evening, as he stood near his locker for quite possibly the final time, Brandon Jackson knew that far more had seeped into that jersey, that it had absorbed four of the best years of his life Sunday by Sunday, culminating in the Super Bowl XLV championship 48 hours earlier.
So yes, it was a remarkable scene at Lambeau Field Tuesday, with more than 50,000 devoted people braving subzero wind chills to listen to their heroes thank them for their support, promise a repeat in 2011 and share the love that came with the Green Bay Packers? fourth Super Bowl title and 13th overall championship.
But to truly understand what this team accomplished by beating the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday at Cowboys Stadium, you needed to come in from the cold. Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers? speech was great, the players? victory lap around the stadium while holding out the Vince Lombardi Trophy for front-rowers to touch was wonderful, general manager Ted Thompson nervously calling it the Lambeau Trophy charmingly comical.
But it was in watching 50 or so grown men jockey for position at the equipment room window, where T-Bone and Red and Odea and Kevin were handing out their game-worn green jerseys, that the accomplishment became real. It was in watching Jackson tugging at the edges of the fabric, tracing the outline of the No. 32 tackle-twill; in watching Jarrett Bush?s eyes moisten as he talked about the interception he?d snared while wearing his No. 24 ? it was in those moments when the reality of what they?d accomplished truly sunk in.
?That?s four hard years of dedication, blood, sweat, tears, adversity that goes into that 32,? said Jackson, the ultra-professional running back who toiled as the team?s third-down back without a single complaint, even after Ryan Grant?s season-ending ankle injury didn?t lead to the full-time starting gig he?d expected. (You can hear the emotion in his voice for yourself by clicking here.)
?The history of the organization goes into that 32. My family, the love, the support goes into that 32. My faith in Christ goes into that 32. There?s a lot of history, there?s a lot of accolades, there?s a lot of things that go into that 32 that?s on that jersey. That jersey will not be washed. It will be hung up, framed, with the rest of my jerseys that I have from college, high school.
?That 32 is very special to me. It?s been ? I don?t know. It?s emotional, you know, when I talk about it because I?ve been through a lot here. The road is tough. And to bring home the Lombardi Trophy, to have that patch on the side of my shoulder, it?s amazing.?
Moments earlier, in another part of the expansive locker room, Bush was staring at the captains patch embroidered on one side of the collar and the Super Bowl XLV logo heat-transferred on the other. The special teams ace had been through his share of ups and downs during his five years in Green Bay, enduring more than his share of criticism along the way. But as he looked at the No. 24 on his jersey, he rattled off the stains ? ?Gatorade, dirt, some chicken broth ?? ? he came to another mark and knew immediately what it was from: The ball, from his second-quarter interception.
?My heart melted. Melted,? he said, bowing his head, tears welling. ?Just all the doubters, all the believers who believed, it?s gratifying. Gratifying. To get an opportunity at that time, at that moment in time ? throughout the whole season, to have it happen at that time, it was special. It meant a lot to me. After the game, I broke down. That?s how much I put into this. It?s not just here. I go home, I think about it. I think about the stuff I try to work on. I work on that year-round. I go back home, it doesn?t end here. It?s a job, but you definitely take it home, because you take so much pride in it. You just try to do the best you can do ? I know that?s kind of cliché, but ? the best you can do.
?There?s kids out there, on the street, running around. I?m just glad I gave them hope. That?s all it takes, is hope. That?s all it takes. Hope.?
Tuesday wasn?t the first time the players were allowed to keep their jerseys, but according to assistant equipment Tom ?T-Bone? Bakken, who has been with the team for going on two decades, it is a rarity. Each jersey is specifically tailored to each player ? ?You don?t just throw a jersey at them,? Bakken said ? for the perfect fit, they are normally re-used for multiple years. But on Tuesday, each jersey was given to its owner ? and each told a story.
?I took mine from the game. I didn?t want them to wash it. I wanted to keep it stinky, with the holes and the tears and the scuff marks on it,? fullback John Kuhn explained. ?Just great memories, man. There was a lot of hard work that went into that victory we had on Sunday. We?ve all had our ups and downs this year as an individual and as a team.?
?It?s almost like you feel transformed when you put it on ? you feel like you?re a part of something a heck of a lot bigger than yourself,? first-year punter Tim Masthay said. ?And then to have the Packers jersey with the Super Bowl emblem and know that you played in that thing ? the biggest game you can play in ? it?s surreal.?
But at the same time, the stark reality of the business side of the game was setting in. While Tuesday?s celebration was quite the sight to behold ? the non-HD television broadcast scarcely did it justice ? it also likely marked the end of the line for a handful of players in Titletown. Among the free agents who may not return were Jackson, Kuhn and defensive end Cullen Jenkins, all of whom were key contributors to the cause, even though they didn?t receive the same acclaim as Rodgers or Clay Matthews or B.J. Raji.
?I really like it here in Green Bay. Not just on the field but off the field. I feel like I?m a good fit here. I love this locker room, I love the guys on the team, so I really hope (to be back),? Kuhn said.
Jenkins, who first joined the team since being cut in training camp in 2003 and made the roster for good in 2004, did something he?d never done at the end of any previous season: He removed every single item from his locker. All that remained were clumps of turf from the cleats he?d removed.
?Going into the year, we had approached (the Packers), because you want a little security. I wanted to stay here, and it would?ve been nice to have something done so you?re not having to think about it the whole year, but obviously that wasn?t what they were thinking at the time and it hasn?t felt that way up to this point,? Jenkins said. ?Something could still get done, I would like to be here, but the way things have went, I wouldn?t be surprised (if this was it).
?I?m pretty confident in my game, I?m pretty confident in what I can do. I know there?ll be some place for me. I?d prefer it be here, but if it?s not, there?ll be some place for me.?
For Jackson, an even more challenging decision awaits. Given his value as Rodgers? personal protector in the backfield, the Packers ? and Rodgers ? undoubtedly want him back. But with Grant set to return from injury and rookie James Starks having piqued the team?s interest with his running ability, Jackson could also garner outside interest and seek an opportunity to be an every-down back ? the role he expected to have when the team took him in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft, and the role he thought he?d finally gotten after Grant?s injury.
?When I walk out this door, what I?m going to remember is the love that this organization gave me. Drafting me in the second round, taking a chance on me. Me giving my all to this team,? Jackson said. ?I feel like I?m the ultimate team player. You?ll never hear a peep out of me. I?m always doing my job. That?s what it takes to win this. That?s what we did Sunday. When I walk out of here, it?s going to be full of joy. Full of tears. Full of exciting memories. Nothing can take that away. There?s a lot of love that goes into this organization when I walk out this locker room.
?It?s not up to me. If the Packers want me, they?ve got me. When I leave this door, it?s going to be full of joy. It?s been a great ride.?

The 49ers last week had surged within three points of poll leader Denver, which outpointed San Francisco for first, 375-372, in the closest voting of the season. The 49ers had received six first-place votes from the national panel of 12 media members who regularly cover the league.
The 49ers weren't in the discussion for No. 1 this week after being crushed 42-13 by the Seattle Seahawks, although they still received one first-place vote from ESPN's Chris Berman for their body or work this season.
But other voters did not think as highly of the 49ers (10-4-1) after they were exposed by the Seahawks in a lopsided rout.
One panelist dropped the 49ers all the way to eighth, and San Francisco was ranked fifth or lower by seven of the voters.
Quarterback Peyton Manning and his surging Broncos remain No. 1 this week as they close in on the playoffs.
Denver strengthened its grip on the top spot following its 10th win in a row, receiving nine first-place votes and 381 points in the balloting.
The AFC West champion Broncos (12-3) close out the regular season at home against Kansas City (2-13), 32nd and last in the rankings. The final AP Pro32 rankings will be released next Wednesday.
The NFC South champion Atlanta Falcons (13-2) moved up two places to second with one first-place vote and 363 points.
''Eleven in a row (after KC this weekend) and primed for a Super Bowl run,'' Rich Gannon of CBS Sports/Sirius XM said in voting the Broncos first.
''As expected the Broncos have become a scoring machine that also has good pass rushers. Still a chance they are the No. 1 seed in the AFC,'' Pat Kirwan of SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com said.
The Seahawks (one first-place vote) were up two spots to fifth after routing the 49ers in a Sunday night prime-time showcase.
''They have scored 120 points more than their last three opponents and officially have become the team no one wants to play in the postseason,'' Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune said.
Despite the loss, the 49ers still received a first-place vote.
''Admittedly, a HUGE mulligan,'' said Berman in sticking with the 49ers at No. 1.
Green Bay was up three spots to third after its 55-7 rout of Tennessee, while New England dropped a place to fourth after hanging on for a 23-16 win over No. 31 Jacksonville.
''If there's any solace from an unimpressive win at Jacksonville, the Patriots also seemed disinterested in their final two regular-season games last year before reaching Super Bowl,'' Alex Marvez of Foxsports.com said.
''Yes, the Patriots are hard to figure out, but this isn't: They're always a Super Bowl factor as long as Tom Brady is healthy,'' Clark Judge of CBSSports.com said.
Indianapolis, which clinched a playoff spot with a win over Kansas City, moved up to 10th in a season in which the Colts started out No. 32 in the first AP Pro32 rankings.
Minnesota, meanwhile, rose to No. 12 this week, and needs a win over Green Bay to earn a playoff spot. The Vikings started the season 29th. The Vikings beat the 49ers 24-13 in Minnesota on Sept. 23, dropping San Francisco out of the top spot after the 49ers spent the previous week ranked No. 1 for the only time this season.
They haven't been back since.
Here are this week's comments from the AP panel about the 49ers, with where each panelist has San Francisco ranked in parentheses:
Chris Berman (ESPN, 1): Admittedly, a HUGE mulligan.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 4): Losing wide receiver Mario Manningham will hurt their offense.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 6): Despite loss to Seattle, still good enough to advance in the postseason.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 4): The loss in Seattle wasn't the thing that hurt. Now the 49ers are dealing with injury issues at a time they can least afford it.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 5): The NFC's best defense is suddenly springing leaks. The 49ers have given up 76 points in the last two games – this after allowing only 184 points over the first 13 weeks.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 5): Consider that waxing in Seattle a wake-up call; or, maybe it was just Pete Carroll's way of honking his own horn.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 5): A team this solid shouldn't look like the Chiefs this often.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 8): The 49ers looked less than invincible in the beating Seattle put on them. They probably won't go back to Alex Smith, but you just wonder if his experience would help right now.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 5): More disturbing than the blowout loss to Seattle were injuries suffered by wide receiver Mario Manningham (knee) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) heading into the playoffs.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 5): When they are on, they are as good as anyone. But occasionally, they are off.

Proud of my pup for placing in the derby, particularly considering he's 6 and 7 months younger than the others that did. A great learning experience for him.

Nice work !!
That's my little guy, Baby Duck. He just got a JAM this morning at Tall Pines, so we had a fun weekend.
Congrats on the ribbons with Chip. He ran well this weekend.
