Sculco: Give Mastin your vote
October 31, 2012
I'm writing on behalf of my good friend, and sometimes employer, Kevin Mastin. As the sole employee of The Mastin Group since 2006, I have been honored and privileged to get to know Kevin and his family. He has always been a solid peer and someone I have looked up to since we met. His knowledge of Summit County, business, and our environment would make him an ideal candidate for county commissioner. Give Kevin your vote!
Mark Sculco, Dillon

As I was playing Morrowind this morning, I realized that the reason I've become relatively bored with most MMORPG's is that, nowadays, they don't seem as immersive. This could be due to the fact that no MMO's nowadays have a continuing story line, but I feel that it's really the point of view in the game.
I understand that WoW and such have first person point of views, but those seemed to have been slapped on just so that Blizzard could say "We support first person views." So are there any recent MMO's that support a decent first person platform?

Knowing a truck's location has always been one measure of great customer service. Frank Clemente, president of Clemente Bros., Troy, N.Y., in 1957 urged contractors and producers to use two-way radios to increase efficiency in their daily operations.
Now, 43 years later, managers at Clemente Latham Concrete are facing the same basic communication equipment issue. With the rapidly changing spectrum of technology available, it's not a simple decision.
Industry experts find it surprising that fewer than 35% of ready-mixed concrete producers and fewer than 5% of zero-slump cast product producers have included truck-tracking technology in their batching or dispatching procedures. But as the costs of hardware, installation, and airtime costs decline, many producers are planning on taking a closer look at this technology.
Efficient wire transfer is allowing producers to use external devices that now not only accept credit card payment on the jobsite through a reader connected to the truck's radio but also preapprove the transaction before the concrete is poured. Some dispatching programs even allow drivers to create a ticket on the jobsite from a printer in the truck's cab. Early tests indicate that one device pays for itself within the first month by eliminating the 2 or 3 minutes of idle time spent waiting for the dispatcher to print the ticket and send it down the air tube.
Regardless of the type of product the truck carries, with technology allowing the producer to shift COD payment and credit approval to the jobsite, truck monitoring becomes profit monitoring. To be successful in this new arrangement, producers must use accurate truck tracking.
With more business transactions occurring in the field, dispatchers can act as monitors rather than participants in each delivery. No longer are they being forced to keep an ear on radio chatter. This frees dispatchers to concentrate on problems and makes drivers responsible for their actions.
Just as important, truck-tracking systems provide documentation of each transaction.
Thus, the changing aspects of truck tracking are radically changing the way producers view their business.
Clemente Latham recently installed a new communication system that featured a new radio repeater system, an upgraded dispatching system, and a new-generation driver-activated status system. President Don Fane looked at the upgrades as a way to increase efficiency in a very competitive market. "We have been steadily growing through acquisitions and new sites, and we had to consolidate not only our communications but our data collection," Fane says.
The first step of the program was the installation of a radio repeater system as the signal carrier. Fane's team then looked at how to gather more accurate job travel and customer use data. With his background in dealing with estimators, dispatcher Dan Manley brings a unique insight to the dispatching role and thus knows how to make the system work best. Manley sees his role as that of a data manager.
Clemente Latham isn't finished yet. This winter Fane expects to meet with other sister company managers in several best-management conferences to decide whether to adopt additional communications technology.

CHICAGO -- Incoming Tennessee freshman Carlyn Baldwin has been named to the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team that will travel to France next month for a pair of matches against the French U-20 squad.
Baldwin and the U.S. U-20 team will play the French on June 10 in Plabennec, France, and again on June 13 in Plougastel, France. Both matches will serve as preparation for the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada.
U.S. U-20 head coach Michelle French will bring 20 players the France in what will be the team's final international matches before the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Both the U.S. and France have qualified for the U-20 Women's World Cup. Team USA is in Group B with Germany, Brazil and China PR, while France is in Group D with Paraguay, New Zealand and Costa Rica.
Baldwin is just one of four high school players to join the a U.S. team that returns 17 players from the group that qualified for the U-20 Women's World Cup by winning the CONCACAF championship in January in the Cayman Islands.
After the trip to Europe, the USA will have a final domestic training camp in July before heading north to the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup which will run from Aug. 5-24 in Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal and Toronto. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 1994, are age-eligible for the tournament. Twenty-one players 21 will make the Women's World Cup Team.
"The chance to play against one of the top U-20 teams in the world prior to the World Cup is an incredible opportunity," French said. "The experience and knowledge we'll gain from these two games against France will push us to sharpen our focus and drive even more as we continue to grow as a team in these final stages of preparation for the World Cup."
U.S. U-20 WNT Roster by Position:
GOALKEEPERS (2): Jane Campbell (Stanford; Kennesaw, Ga.), Katelyn Rowland (UCLA; Vacaville, Calif.)
DEFENDERS (5): Brittany Basinger (Penn State; Purcellville, Va.), Laura Liedle (Stanford; San Diego, Calif.), Katie Naughton (Notre Dame; Elk Grove Village, Ill.), Kaleigh Riehl (BRYC; Fairfax Station, Va.), Cari Roccaro (Notre Dame; East Islip, N.Y.)

Acura TL Recall 14V351000
Front Airbag Inflator Module
Certain vehicles are being recalled because the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator may rupture upon deployment. Vehicle occupants could be struck by metal fragments resulting in personal injury.
As of this writing Honda has not yet announced a notification schedule for this recall. If you don't receive notification in a timely manner and believe you should have, please contact your dealer for further instruction. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call.
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Honda dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
June 20, 2014
American Honda Motor Company, Inc. (Honda) is conducting a limited regional recall for certain model year 2001-2007 Accord (4-cylinder), 2001-2002 Accord (V6), 2001-2005 Civic, 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2007 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline, 2003-2006 Acura MDX, and 2002-2003 TL/CL vehicles originally sold, or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment of the driver side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver side frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inflators in all affected vehicles, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

No MTP fun in KDE SC 4.10
If you own an Android device and use Linux in your PC, chances are you've had issues when trying to browse your device through a USB connection. The fact that Android started using MTP made things difficult in Linux, because the latter was not really that ready to support it. For the most part, this is not such a big deal because there are great tools available in Android that truly reduce the gap and offer even better alternatives, such as AirDroid and obviously the Google all-in-the-Cloud approach. However, if you want to download/upload a really big chunk of data, sometimes using a USB cable is the best option. I was particularly happy to see KDE address this Linux gap in KDE SC 4.10, which was supposed to significantly improve MTP support. Unfortunately, after trying both in Chakra and Fedora, I am consistently getting errors: Has anybody found a fix for this or knows how to make it work?

Hi SebastianDelete
Thanks a lot for your feedback! That gMTP package, I can´t find it in Fedora. Which distro are you on? Did you get the package from official repositories or downloaded and compiled it yourself?

Thanks Mark, will give that a try!Delete
OpenSUSE for some reason has a working implementation, Sabayon works too, as does KUbuntu for me on sgs3, nexus4, nexus7.ReplyDelete

The holes in the pic allow forager bees to continue to enter the hive, without losing new foragers. If you use a robber screen as a moving screen, you need to close it late in the day or early morning, or you lose the field force. You can put a moving screen on at any time of the day, wait a little, then move the hive.
one part in question is on a angle and has 4 holes to let the bees in. why is that on a angle? is that needed?

Memories of Buxton
On Tuesday afternoon we could go with the class at school to listen to the orchestra playing there for the sum of one penny. I think the conductor was Maurice Miles.
This Was Thee Place To Go.
Cavendish Grammar had their speech day there one year. Wells Dressing events were held there too. Tea dances. Satrurday night dances. During the war years and afterwards the Pavillion Gardens Concert Hall was tops for getting in the big bands. Dancing to the tune of the big bands what a wonderful memory. To name ...Read full memory

My father was the MD of the company who demolished the Hotel in the 60,s we lived in Buxton during that time.

I'm trying to find people with memories or family stories of Punch and Judy performances in Buxton, Henry Bailey (a performer) or his family, Elizabeth Figg, or son Harry Russell. They lived in Bennett Sreet from the late 19th Century to the early 20th Century. Henry and Harry feature in what is believed to be the ...Read full memory

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.
DOB estimated July 7, 2016
UPDATE! 5/24/17 Martin is now full grown and weighs about 35lbs. He is a smart and sweet guy who loves to be loved. He gets along well with other dogs. Martin loves to play with his people, as well as with other dogs. He is still in need of a forever home and is so deserving of a home of his own. As he has grown and matured, we are now thinking he is a boston terrier/boxer mix/Lab mix. Martin is crate trained and mostly house trained, although his experience being in the house without being crated is limited. Please consider Martin if you are looking for a fun loving, happy boy to hang out with, perhaps take for hikes/runs/walks. For more info, see below.
These sweet little babies were dumped in a wooded area in Arkansas. There was a witness that actually saw the truck pull up, dump the puppies out, and speed away while the puppies cried and tried to follow. Thankfully, someone was there and saw the whole thing and was able to get all of the puppies to safety. Poor babies were only about 4-5 weeks old at that time. Just little babies. We are purely guessing on their breed, since we never got the chance to see mom or dad. We are calling them Lab/Beagle/Border Collie mix. These babies will likely be on the large side. They are currently each about 20lbs. but they have a lot of growing to do. They are all very friendly, happy go lucky, sweet puppies and will make wonderful companions. They are located in Arkansas and will be transported to the northeast once adopted. For more info, email email@example.com
Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $300, and for older puppies and adults, the typical fee is $250. This includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (as well as treatment if they test positive) for all pups/dogs over 6 months old. There is a transport fee of $140 per dog. We use Got Orphans Transport, and you can see more about them at www.gotorphanstransport.com.
For more info regarding adopting, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: The Tiny House Movement I thought this story was very interesting. It looks at Dee Williams, a woman who lives in a house that is 84 square feet. There's a short video in the link that mostly focuses on Williams but also features interviews with other people building tiny houses. There's also a slideshow with pictures of various small homes. I actually like a lot of the homes shown in the report. I think they're quite economical, environmental and yet also stylish. It also shows you don't need an abundance of space to live comfortably.

New Indigenous Leaders' Report on Shell's Destruction, Tar Sands & More
The Indigenous Environmental Network and the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation have launched a new campaign against Shell and its destructive projects, including tar sands extraction. They have released a new report on the company's increasing role in the world's dirtiest energy projects.
The new report, "Risking Ruin: Shell's dangerous developments in the Tar Sands, Arctic and Nigeria" , highlights Indigenous communities' experience of Shell's operations in Canada's Alberta Tar Sands, Aamjiwnaang First Nation's territory in Ontario, Alaska's Arctic Ocean and Africa's Niger Delta.
Indigenous leaders attended Shell's Annual General Meeting in The Hague, Netherlands, on May 22, 2012 where they confronted corporate leadership on human rights abuses, environmental destruction, and economic damage wrought by the company's operations on local communities. Here are a few of their voices:
Eriel Deranger, spokesperson for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Alberta, Canada, an Indigenous community downstream from tar sands operations that is currently suing Shell for violating past agreements, stated:
"Tar sands extraction projects on our traditional lands are being approved at a pace that is both irresponsible and irreparably destructive. People in the community of Fort Chipewyan are genuinely afraid. Our food and water sources are contaminated, resulting in a fear of eating traditional foods and eroding the continuation of our cultural and subsistence lifestyles. Yet Shell plans to aggressively expand its activities, doubling production. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation is calling on Shell to meet its past agreements and halt expansion until our broader concerns about the cumulative impacts of tar sands operations are addressed."
Ron Plain, from Aamjiwnaang First Nation, Ontario, which has been called 'the most polluted place in North America' by the National Geographic Society, and the 'the most contaminated airshed in Canada' by the World Health Organization due to its proximity to 'Chemical Valley' where Shell's and other tar sands operators' refineries are causing serious health and reproductive impacts – stated:
"Aamjiwnaang is the first community in the world to experience birth ratios of 2 girls to 1 boy due to endocrine disruption from the pollution. This is the first step towards extinction. Shell have admitted that their current facility, which is located at the fence line of Aamjiwnaang, 'could not meet today's environmental regulations or standards.' But Shell's proposal for a new facility within Aamjiwnaang territory was recently denied byCanadafor a whole host of environmental, social and other reasons. The corporate response to that set-back was to build onto the antiquated facility the equipment needed to process more tar sands bitumen."
Ben Powless, a Mohawk from Six Nations inOntario, representing the Indigenous Environmental Network, added:
"Not only have Shell reveled in being a climate criminal, they have also been exposed as fighting the European Union's proposed Fuel Quality Directive, in collusion with the Canadian government. Their continued environmental destruction and violation of Indigenous rights across Canada, Alaska and Nigeria show that Shell needs to change their operations or face increasing protest and opposition across the world. Our organization is supporting an Indigenous-led campaign against Shell's extreme energy projects to bring together frontline impacted communities."
Thanks to the Indigenous Environmental Network for these updates.

Darth Vader
Darth Maul
They are on my list of Star Wars books to read. I just haven't got to them yet. I think the 3rd in the series comes out some time this year.
Everyone needs to chill out this is just a friendly debate. there were no rules about what could be used to form your opinions. It sucks that maul lost but That is life.
Now who's down for anouther poll?
What you have in mind Maddmudder?
yeah, these polls are awesome!!!
I love the debates too!!! As long as we keep it friendly, it's really fun to see what everyone thinks!!!
ray park is tiny and darth vader is huge.
i don't care how acrobatic maul is, he's not going to vault over vader and get ground on him.
and just because vader is huge doesn't mean he can't move....it would be an awesome duel and vader would eventually win.

I live in NJ, unfortunately. What are the laws about purchasing a weapon from a family member who lives out of state?
My sister just told me that her husband wants to sell his handgun (not sure of the type or the price). They live in Colorado. If I decide to purchase it when I visit them what are the laws? Do I go by Co laws? NJ laws? Obviously when I get back to NJ I need a NJ carry permit but...Does this transaction need to go through a FFL? Background check? etc? Thanks!


text: That is why Joe D. took Stuckey rather than Crittenton, because he wanted a big guard who could not only learn from C-Bill how to use his size but would use his size to an advantage. That is one reason why C Paul and D. Williams would maybe not be as good for us as Stuckey will be, because he is bigger and stronger than they are and we use that advantage with our guards both on offense and defense. Could we change the system? Why should we and even if we did there is no guarantee that would be better. In fact considering the whole roster has been put together based upon how Joe D. envisions an NBA team playing and winning in today's NBA environment we would probably have to redo the whole team and system around Paul or Williams and that will never happen as long as Joe D. is running the show. Considering our success as a team compared to the other 28, not counting San Antonio, why should we? Besides the Spurs are old and getting older, whereas we are adding youth so over the next five years we could still be at the top while the Spurs become a lottery team.

adobe after effects!
After effects is so expensive, FXHome can do it for like $200, and I think (could be wrong) Premiere Elements can do it. If you get elements (if it can do it) get V7, NOT V4, 7 can handle AVCHD while 4 cannot (bad luck for me) I only shoot in AVCHD.
Here's a pic (or 2) of the start of a PVC Saber I made for like $2.00. 1" inner diameter so you can get a stunt blade and either paint 1 blue and the other green (easier to edit) or what ever.
I know that my sabers need knobs and weathering, and will do that, but for video, perfection is not necessary, only for display.
I also made a staff for my Jedi Security officer.
As for Sound FX, google 'em and DL, then mix them in post process.
For good tips on editing, look on youtube and look up videomaker (the magazine) they offer tons of free advise or indymogule, lots of effects tutorials, like kill bill eyeball pull etc.

also for cheap stunt sabers try http://www.ultrasabers.com/

Thursday 20th October 2011
It certainly wasn't the best European encounter you will ever see but as time ran out a draw also wouldn't have been the worst result ever. Then of course, as the weather changed to more Cumbrian than Mediterranean, Rambo slammed home our late winner and a small section of the Stade Velodrome went doolally! Get in!
Marseilles is a city I have never visited before, quite a rarity after so many years of European football. I have received varied reports from people who had in the past but like with everything in life I like to form my own opinion rather than be influenced by others.
Those of you watching the match at home are likely to think the weather has been no better than a typical British autumn, however as I write these thoughts there is not a cloud in the sky and it has been pleasantly warm since our arrival on Tuesday morning.
This gives itself to definitely one of my favourite activities on these trips, al-fresco dining, and the food, service and general atmosphere we have enjoyed in the city's famous Vieux Port area has been simply fantastic.
The locals have been extremely hospitable and only too pleased to talk and joke about the football, confident of course their team would continue the 100 per cent start they have made to their European campaign.
Party-wise, Tuesday night was traditionally full-on and matchday too consisted of much to enjoy in the build-up. And the result of course gave us an easy 'excuse' to enjoy last night well into the early hours too.
The Stade Velodrome is being redeveloped at the moment but our hosts are known for being among the most noisy and passionate in France so we knew the atmosphere could be quite something.
As it turned out we gave them very very little to get excited about in what was a dogged performance all-round.
The first half was forgettable but crucially we looked solid, something that would be of massive importance right to the very end.
Theo and RVP enjoyed the best chances of the match during the second period and with time running out it looked like we would be taking away a hard-earned point for our efforts.
The heavens then opened and Rambo smashed home our all-important late, late winner!
An excellent week so far then and Stoke City stand in our way next, a club enjoying a European foray themselves this season, testament to the fact they have comfortably established themselves at the higher end of English football.
I don't remember ever having an 'easy' game against Stoke since their return to the top flight and I don't expect Sunday to be any different.
One last lunch before we head home and on this occasion we are searching for Marseilles signatory dish... Bouillabaise.
A meal to be enjoyed in the company of three big and highly-satisfactory Champions League points!

Strangling Democracy and the Rule of Law in Honduras
posted at 6:23 pm on September 22, 2009 by Jimmie Bise, Jr
This is a developing story, from CNN (via @MarkImpomeni on Twitter).
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, has closed because of the "fluid" situation there, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said Tuesday.
What Ian Kelley did not say is that the "fluid" situation, which today means near riots in the streets that the government is having to handle with tear gas and water cannons, is something the State Department and the Obama administration caused. Without our attempts to force Honduras to reject its own laws and Constitution, there would be no aborning crisis right now.
Presently, the former President of Honduras, Mel Zelaya is holed up in the Brazilian Embassy in the Honduran capital. His supporters had surrounded the embassy before law enforcement dispersed them. The Honduran authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Zelaya and are asking that Brazil either turn him over to them or grant him asylum. It is very clear that Zelaya's presence inside the country, after a unanimous Supreme Court decision ordered the military to remove him, is exacerbating the situation and our government has only been heaping the kindling higher each day. Secretary of State Clinton's claim that putting Zelaya back in office would "get Honduras back to constitutional and democratic rule" ought to stick in the craw of anyone who can read the plain and incontrovertible language of the Honduran constitution. That we will allow a leading member of the wicked Burmese junta to enter our country, but have banned law-abiding members of the Honduran government from doing the same is shameful.
Here is truth. Until the Obama administration, standing alongside Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, tried to force the de jure government of Honduras to ignore its own laws, the country was stable and as peaceful as one could be that was being condemned by petty tyrants and their lickspittle in Washington. Today, it is not and the United States of America is to blame.
Recently in the Green Room:
- What in the Name of All That's Holy Are We Doing to Honduras?
- lead and gold
- Debates on ritalin.
- Free poker.
- Cialis.

In order for RWU students to declare Education as a major, they must present evidence of having met the basic skills requirement as determined by the Rhode Island Department of Education (R.I.D.E.). The basic skills requirement can be met in the following ways:
|Test Name
|Passing Score
|Core Academic Skills for Educators*
Math 150
Reading 156
Writing 162
Composite score of 468
with no test score more than
3 points below the cut
1150 Composite
530 Verbal
530 Math
24 Reading
20 Math
1100 Composite (800 Scale Test) with no less than
300 Composite (170 Scale Test) with no less than 151 Verbal and 147 Quantitative
* Effective September 1, 2014, the Core Academic Skills for Educators Exams will replace the Praxis I PPST exams.
Waiver: Candidates applying to a traditional undergraduate program are not required to retake the Core Academic Skills for Educators exam if they have achieved a GPA of 3.0 or higher by the end of their college sophomore year and are within 3 points of the cut scores on each section of the Core Academic Skills for Educators exams.
On-going Performance Assessment Requirements
The School of Education uses a Performance Assessment System to monitor and evaluate student progress. As part of that system, students develop and maintain an assessment portfolio that is reviewed at each level of the curriculum:
Level I: Exploring the Profession – freshman year
Level II: Preparing to Teach - sophomore and junior years
Level III: Performing in the Classroom- senior year
The performance assessment is one of many measures the School of Education uses to evaluate students' progress toward meeting the Rhode Island Professional Teaching Standards (RIPTS). Matriculation in the program is contingent upon successful performance assessment reviews.
Throughout their programs students plan, develop and experiment with instructional materials and strategies in both the University classroom and public school settings. As students proceed through coursework, they build their performance assessment portfolios, self-assess their pedagogical knowledge and skills and set goals aligned with the RIPTS. Performance assessment evaluations are used to determine whether students are progressing toward meeting the standards and are used to move students from one curriculum level to another. In addition, education students must achieve a GPA of 2.75 or higher to enter Curriculum Level III: Performing in the Classroom.
Field experiences are required in all courses. The Elementary and Secondary programs include a minimum of 100 hours of Practicum and one full semester (14 weeks) of Student Teaching. During Student Teaching, students also enroll in a Student Teaching Seminar.
The State of Rhode Island requires all applicants for certification in Elementary and Secondary Education to pass the state licensure examination(s). Students typically take the licensure examination(s) before or during Curriculum Level III.
*The Educational Studies Major degree does not lead to teacher certification.

Green Bay Swimming Teams Triumph at House of Champions Invite
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
INDIANAPOLIS (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams both secured team titles on Sunday at the 2012 House of Champions Invitational, hosted by IUPUI in Indianapolis. The women's squad finished the three-day meet with 1,803 points to lead the seven-team field, while the men's team placed first out of five teams with 1,836 points.
Both Green Bay teams entered the final day in first place after strong showings on Friday and Saturday, and both were able to increase their leads and run away with victories on Sunday.
The Phoenix women started strong by going 1-2 in Sunday's first final, the 1650-yard freestyle. After racing to a win in the 500 free on Friday, junior Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) picked up another individual victory in a distance race, placing first in 17:02.73. Green Bay senior Melissa Killpatrick (Elk River, Minn.) finished behind her teammate in second with a time of 17:17.89.
A pair of standouts from the first two days of competition also performed well on Sunday for the Phoenix women, as Dana Iverson (Kenosha, Wis.) and Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) both earned second-place finishes. Iverson was the runner-up in the 200 backstroke, finishing in 2:04.23, while Wolf placed second in the 100 free in 51.25.
Aiding the men to victory on Sunday was a trio of first-place finishes. Junior Brian Heiser (McFarland, Wis.) raced to an individual title in the 200 backstroke, touching in at 1:54.94. Classmate Robert Miner (Madison, Wis.) also picked up an individual victory in the 200 butterfly, finishing first in 1:53.87.
Green Bay's third win came in the meet's final event, as Tyler Evans (Lodi, Wis.), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.), Casey Murphy (Sun Prairie, Wis.) and Ben Loeffelholz (Dubuque, Iowa) teamed up to win the 400 free relay in 3:07.25.
The Phoenix men and women are back in action on Saturday, Dec. 8, when they travel to Valparaiso to take on the Horizon League rival Crusaders at 2 p.m. CT. It will be the final dual meet before Green Bay departs for its annual Florida training trip Dec. 31-Jan. 9.

Her Universe revealed their new products for Celebration Anaheim today. There's a lightsaber shirt, multiple dresses, tees, a new bag, and cupcakes. "A different daily Star Wars themed cupcake available at Salacious Crumb's Cupcake Bake Shop" in their booth. The "Ahsoka Lives" tee will be exclusive to the con.
Tag Archives: her universe
Her Universe adds new Star Wars cardigan, dress and tee
We saw their new jewelry yesterday, but today brings a handful of new clothing items to Her Universe. There's the Symbol Pattern cardigan, a Darth Vader Knit Pattern dress and a new logo tee – all available in plus sizes as well. And there are new Marvel, Star Trek, Walking Dead and Doctor Who items as well.
Her Universe loads up new Star Wars jewelry
There are several new pieces of jewelry on the Her Universe site today, mostly Vader-related.
David Eckstein, Her Universe profiled in Fortune
The framing of this Fortune story on David Eckstein and Her Universe seemed odd, until I realized it's part of a series (in collaboration with Sports Illustrated) that profiles athletes who've moved into business careers. In any case, we learn a few things about HU: that they expect to bring in $5 million in sales this year, and the company is profitable. Phew. (via)
Pictures from the Her Universe Geek Couture Fashion Show. Popsugar has clear looks t most of the fashions from last night's show at SDCC.
Thursday at SDCC: Rebels, Her Universe
Our very own JJ – JawaJames – is at San Diego Comic-Con, and he's now shared his pictures from Thursday, including the con floor, the Rebels panel, and a few things pre-screening. Amy Ratcliffe had a few thoughts on the screening for IGN, but all I'm seeing on Twitter this morning is praise – even from folks who couldn't get into The Clone Wars.
Also last night was the Her Universe fashion show – of course, it happened at the same time as the Rebels panel. Tricia collected some tweets and things, and here's our own Caitlin in her Padme dress. The winners were the ladies of the Back to the Future and Once Upon a Time dresses. And the new Her Universe licensee is Studio Ghibli, which I admit I never would have guessed. A Totoro dress is coming. I expect we'll hear more today.
The big ticket for Star Wars today – for our purposes, anyway – is the Del Rey book panel (2 p.m. PDT, 5 p.m. EDT) but Hasbro is up at noon PDT/3:00 EDT so there'll be a lot of toy news coming up as well.
Her Universe rolls out new Transformers line. Four shirts, two dresses and a pair of leggings.
And the second new Her Universe licensee is… Transformers? Looks like we'll get a closer look on Thursday. Does this one excite you at all? Because I feel a resounding sense of 'meh.'
Her Universe announces Marvel products
Her Universe has announced the first wave of their new Marvel line! There's more coming, including a Loki dress, Ashley Eckstein tells The Daily Dot. A Black Widow hoodie will be available at San Diego Comic Con. And Ashley herself will be voicing Dagger of Cloak and Dagger in the animated Ultimate Spider-Man.
The line is also part of Marvel's own "Characters and Creators" initiative, which is targeting women and girls. (The new Ms. Marvel is an earlier example.)
Her Universe hints at Marvel license. A few items have already slipped out, but it looks like we can expect an announcement next week.

Discussion in 'November 2012' started by roscoe36, Oct 29, 2012.
This game makes me sad.
Why is Prince sucking up the minutes. He has to be the worst player out there. LFrank. Pull your sh** together son. We ain't gonna win this. So lets use the time to run some cool new plays and give the rooks chemistry time
At the half...our starting guards are 0-11.....and kobe has 8 assists already.
I' m on the road again tomorrow, so I think I will skip the second half and pack my suit case. Down 28 points and I don't see anyway the Pistons win unless DHoward, Kobe and Gasol are kidnapped at the half. Plus I don't want to listen to the laker announcers the rest of the game The Pistons appear to be just what the doctor ordered for the supposed ailing Lakers...as they closed the first half on 18-4 run. The positive thing I see so far is that the Pistons bench is outscoring the laker bench 17-6. Also since my opponent in the Advanced fantasy league has three Pistons on his team: Monroe, Stuckey and Drummond and they have only scored 6 pts, grabbed 7 boards and 4 assists, I should be able to hang on and win the week 6-3...
Stuckey 0-6 so far in 25 mins. Is it even arguable that he is the worst SG in the NBA right now?
I don't feel like I'm catching a glimpse of the future when I watch the Drummond-Jerebko-Singler front court. The Lakers have had at least 8 3 man alley-opps through 3 quarters. This is ridiculous. There was a 6-7 minute stretch of the 3rd quarter where I was laughing at the Pistons the entire time. Tay had an air ball that missed by 6-7' on a pull up jumper. Rodney Stuckey is 1-23 on the year. Kyle Singler has the same role in the Pistons offense that Larry Bird had with the Celtics. Whatever happens I hope Frank doesn't try and play Monroe and Drummond together. Does Frank know that Jerebko and Singler aren't siamese twins? Foosball players have more random interactions.
Can't run Monroe and Drummond together because they might have to break up JJ and Singler. The Pistons have shot some horrific air balls.
The PF.com chat was absolutely explosive tonight, but per a bet from said chat I am now obligated to indulge in a six topping pizza the next time a special occasion calls for one (a topping for each Rodney Stuckey missed field goal).
Laker fans go home happy and will get free tacos at the local Taco Bells for hitting 100 pts. Laker announcers declare that they are contenders now after beating powerhouse Pistons... However studio guy HOF James Worthy did not like the fact that they had to bring the starters back in the 4th......can they win in Utah later this week or do they resort to the problems they had in the first three games and struggle? Boy I hope so. Can the Pistons regroup and forget about this one and knock off the Nuggets on Tuesday? Once again, boy I hope so. JJ & Singler looked like the only Pistons engaged in running with the lakers.. Dre tied in the lead with boards with Moose but don't expect him to score with will.i.am running the point. ..When is the last time none of the Pistons starters failed to score in double figures? The bench outscored the starters 52-27.....maybe we need to have Stuckey and the rest of the starters come off the bench to shake up a few things???
No and mark my words Brandon Knight is Stuckey 2.0. Here's the funny part......at the same point in their careers, Stuckey showed more promise than Brandon.
Your fell off the Knight bandwagon again?
I'm not sure there ate that many toppings. Cab you count exstra, exstra,exstra, exstra cheese? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. I seriously cannot stand watching the kid play, nothing about his game screams lottery pick or franchise PG, not now, not at UK, not ever. He benefited from a weak draft. the only good thing about Brandon Knight being the PG for this team, is that it means Rodney Stuckey isn't.
Wowser. Tay was -40 in 24 minutes. Stuckey is now 1-25 from the field in the past 7 months. Our starting backcourt was 1-14 shooting with 0 FT attempts in 48 min. Maxiell and Monroe (i.e. the strength of our team) was intentionally keyed upon the entire time they were in the game. Gasol and DHo shot 60% from the field with 30 attempts! The positives: Dwight and Gasol only had 7 rebounds a piece, which is the same number that Monroe and Drummond had. Our bench played winning basketball against a mix of the Lakers scrubs and their starters (Gasol and Howard played 20 combined min against our bench). Drummond stood up for himself and showed some pride on defense (drew a charge, battled with Howard by pushing and grappling, blocked a couple shots... even gave us a frustration goal tend). He basically showed that he cares (either he's competitive or he cares about himself and tried to look that way). He tried hard on offense too, but some was ill advised (the over pumped J's for example). Bynum showed again that he's the best player on the team at creating open shots for himself and others. English with some nice 3 point touch as he also showed some defensive intensity. Jerebko was the most active player on the night for us as he hustled, slashed, and battled with the bigs. 9 FTA's was a high on our team. His 18 points was also big as we avoided falling behind by 40 and having it become an ESPN embarrassment. Singler had a decent all around game going and looked like a guy with a year of pro ball under his belt. He's not great, but he's confident and doesn't force much. Strained positives: Monroe was getting really humiliated early and fought back a little. Went right at Dwight a handful of times with some positive results. Maxiell started off strong again, but then disappeared. At least it was some contribution. 8 points and 6 boards in less than 20 min is acceptable. I thought it was sort of funny how Drummond seemed to have been yanked by the coach after making 2 mistakes: 1) took an ill advised jump shot that barely grazed the rim, and 2) gambled on a steal on an entry pass into Howard, where Howard dunked. Monroe and company came right back in and just continued to get murdered in the paint with mistake free, but non athletic defense. Adjusting for our ineptitude, I still thought that the Lakers' defense looks great. When they get to know each other and get the playoff energy, it will be very difficult to score on them.
i guess i should have stuck around.
Another wasted game. Coach did not try for one moment to win the game. Starters nor subs are any good but he won't try different combos to make one or the other work. Good writeups everyone, so I won't go into many details - except remember this - what JJ did right - was as a small forward. With him in, we don't have a power forward in there at all. Subs looked good - against LA's 3rd string - guys who had not even played yet this year. That ain't much. Start) Knight, English, Singler, Monroe, Drummond. 2nd unit) Stuckey, (Singler or English staying on for a shooter at shooting guard), Tay, JMAX, Kravtsov (with Drummond or Monroe actually taking these minutes if foul situation permits.)
It was AWFUL and painful to watch Jordan Hill getting all the offensive rebounds like he was playing against high school boys... But I rather lose like this, Monroe shooting 10 times, Knight 8 times, and giving the bench a lot of minutes.. than with Prince 45 minutes and Maxiell another 40.. It's a process, guys, you know it. We all have seen a lot of seasons for this teams, some of you more than some of us, no doubt, but we all have seen a bunch of seasons. It's never easy and we can't expect that suddenly Knight becomes Billups, Monroe becomes Sheed and Drummond becomes Ben Wallace. It's a process..
Man, I don't think I've ever seen a player with a -40. That's impressive. Their starters had 27 points on 11-39 shooting (28.2%). The bench almost doubled up the starters' scoring (52-27). You're not going to win any ballgames doing that. With the exception of JJ and Singler, everyone was awful. If this was a playoff game, Detroit should have started Monroe and Drummond together to combat Howard and Gasol, because those guys dominated Monroe and Maxiell in the first quarter (11 points and 10 points, respectively). The cold truth of it is that this Lakers team was just more talented than Detroit, especially when Stuckey is hurt. Knight regressed after his decent game against Houston. Their starting offense is completely stagnant right now because Monroe, Maxiell, Stuckey, and Prince are not offensive threats.
All I know is that if Knight and Monroe are the focal points of this team's offense, we are going to end up being this year's Wizards and Bobcats. At one point in the 3rd quarter of the PHX game, 401-Tay and Maxiell had combined for TWENTY-FIVE shots! That was pretty much 2/3 of our attempts at that point. Someone should be caned (Not canned, CANED) for allowing that to EVER happen. EVER. We went nearly the entire 1st quarter in LA without Monroe touching the ball and it's pretty hard to fight back when the other guy is seeing the ball every possession and your teammates are giving you the Ben Wallace treatment. Stuckey = 8 Million Dollar Paper Weight (Oh wait...he has migraines. My mistake. He's quite valuable. Unfortunately, Excedrin apparently costs 16 Million per year.) 401-Tay is literally becoming Michael Curry right before our eyes. How's THAT for irony? I NEVER care about +/- stats, but MINUS 40???? You should be forcibly retired after a -40 performance. Can someone forward me the email that forbade Coach Lil' Smokey from putting Monroe and Drummond in the game at the same time? Three games in and they are only getting worse. This is insane. We have young talent, but are NOWHERE near contending...why on earth are we holding on to these BS rotations and delusions of seniority? Hell, AT LEASE Charlie V can put the ball in the basket on occasion. I'd rather see him out there, than giving Maxiel and Prince TWENTY-FIVE shot attempts in ANY game EVER. I think Knight is making an effort, but how many assists do you expect your PG to rack up when he has to pass the ball to Tylenol Jones? Nevermind the fat that coach Tiny Tot decides to make the "game changing" 5 man substitution AFTER we go down by 35. Message well sent, Lil General.
Great way to back up after one of the worst games in a few seasons - give up 34 in the first quarter of the next..... ....make that 42, 5 minutes into the second quarter and in the bonus at 4mins. Monroe can't even get a turnover by picking the ball up at his feet. Singler passing directly to Metta. Stuckey bricking a layup. Kobe shooting over his head. Swight fumbling the ball through. We are the Washington Generals and the rest of the league are the Globetrotters.
Separate names with a comma.

Health Science Minor
Wittenberg has long offered a variety of courses that are prerequisite courses for many of the health professional schools, and has a distinguished track record of students getting into professional schools in a variety of health fields. Most careers in the health field require graduate level education at either the Master's or Doctoral level in order to become a licensed, practicing caregiver (physician, dentist, optometrist, chiropractor, pharmacist, physician assistant, physicaltherapist, nurse, etc.). The Health Science minor is designed to broadly prepare students for matriculation into one of these programs as well as offer an interdisciplinary perspective to students interested in other fields (e.g., health administration).
Our Health Science minor has two major components:
Broad based coursework that familiarizes students with both the basic science and interdisciplinary nature of health science. An interdisciplinary field by nature, this minor will give students the option of taking courses from Biology, Communication, Economics, English, Health, Fitness and Sport, Honors, Languages, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, and Theatre and Dance. This broad course offering allows students to tailor the Health Science minor to their own specific interests while emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the health fields in general.
Significant professional experience allows students to conduct an in-depth exploration of a health related topic that is of interest to them. The significant professional experience ensures that students will have at least one hands-on learning opportunity in the medical field prior to completion of this minor. Students will fulfill this requirement by completing their choice of either a:
- Clinical internship experience. A formal clinical internship program has been in place for several years and provides students with one-on-one mentored internship opportunities with practicing healthcare professionals.
- Medically related research project. Students can work with one of several faculty members who conduct medically related research.
Students pursuing this minor can matriculate into the following types of health professional programs:
--Biomedical Ethics
--Chiropractic Medicine
--Genetic Counseling
--Hospital Administration
--Medicine (Allopathic and Osteopathic)
--Occupational Therapy
--Physical Therapy
--Physician Assistant
--Podiatric Medicine
--Public Health

Nuts-and-bolts information to plan your trip, plus a checklist of essentials to include when you pack and a list of links to local media
Entry Requirements: U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter Sweden, but no visa is required.
Security: Apart from the odd politically motivated murder, no major terrorist act has been carried out in Sweden since 1975. As a tourist, you should feel safe anywhere in the country.
Time: Sweden is six hours ahead of U.S. eastern standard time.
Money: Sweden's currency is the krona. For current conversion rates go to OANDA Currency Converter. www.oanda.com/convert/classic
Phone Calls: The international country code for Sweden is 46. The area codes for the major cities are 08 (Stockholm), 031 (Gothenburg) and 040 (Malmö). When calling from abroad, delete the initial zero.
When to Go: May through September is by far the best time to visit, with temperatures in the 60-80°F (16-22°C) range for Stockholm. Winter sports attract visitors to the north, but erratic weather conditions with rain and heavy cloud cover make Stockholm a discouraging winter destination.
Getting There: There are four airports with international connections in the greater Stockholm area. From Arlanda (ARN, www.arlanda.se), the largest, you can fly nonstop to Chicago (SAS), New York (SAS, Malaysia Airlines and Continental), and Boston (Finnair).
Getting Around: Because Stockholm opens wide to the Baltic to the east, there's no easy way to build a ring road around it. Speed limits are about 30 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour) inside cities and 43-68 miles per hour (70-110 kilometers per hour) on the motorway.
Passport: Sweden is a part of the Schengen passport-free zone. This means that once you've entered Sweden (or any other Schengen country) you don't need to show your passport again when travelling within the Schengen area. Paradoxically, this also means that you must be able to prove your identity at any time while in Sweden if asked to do so by a policeman.
Immunization Papers: Sweden is not home to any epidemic diseases, so you don't need any special vaccinations. The only exception would be if you are traveling from a temporarily infected area.
Insect Repellent: Especially if you venture into the archipelago (which you should), some sort of bug spray is a must in the summertime. Djungelolja (Jungle Oil) is a popular classic.
In Country: If you plan to leave the city for some hiking or biking, or even just a walk in the woods, ask a local to show you what brännässlor (burning nettles) look like. Sweden is only home to one dangerous snake—huggorm (the common European adder)—but its bite does require medical attention.
Ticks: If you've been to the archipelago, you should check yourself for ticks, which can give you Lyme disease or encephalitis (acute inflammation of the brain).
Moose Alert: Sweden is home to thousands of moose, and people are killed and severely wounded each year after smashing into them with their cars. If you venture out with a rental car, drive with caution, especially where there are no safety fences. Also keep in mind that wildlife move around mostly at dawn and dusk, and that moose will not move just because you honk.
Appropriate Dress: Since Sweden switched from Catholicism to Protestantism in the 1500s, there are no restrictions against entering churches with bare shoulders or short skirts. In general, not much in the way of modern dress will shock liberal Stockholmers.
Sleep Mask: Many summertime travelers to Scandinavia wake up thinking they have overslept when the sun wakes them up at 5 a.m. The farther north you travel, the earlier the sun will rise. To secure a good night's sleep, bring along a sleep mask.

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal took on Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Martin Hayes and Tim Stillman of Vital Arsenal.
Read on for their post-match comments and recap what they said before the game.
Everything is going right for Arsenal at the moment - not only are they winning their own games but their rivals are finding ever more inventive ways to lose. Spurs should have been too good for Stoke and Liverpool should never be squandering two-goal leads at relegation-threatened QPR. Arsenal fans don't care though and they can be proud of their side after they did what Man City, Spurs and Chelsea couldn't do - win at Goodison Park this season. The back four were superb - individually and collectively - and I think the inclusion of Ramsey helped Arsenal match Everton in midfield. It could have been more comfortable - Van Persie hit the post when he should have scored - but one goal was enough. Now let's keep it going against Villa on Saturday.
With Arsenal rested and replenished it is time to get back into the swing of things with a tough trip to Goodison Park. Everton, as ever, are a difficult side to beat on home soil and they proved no pushovers on their visit to Emirates Stadium earlier in the campaign. It took something special from Robin van Persie to sink them on that day. The break may have taken away some of Arsenal's momentum after a fine run in the Premier League but they will need to keep third place in sight. Arsène Wenger is also boosted by the return of Andre Santos at the back, crossing another name off Arsenal's diminishing injury list. I expect to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain retain his place in attack after a bright second half against Newcastle, while Theo Walcott is a shoo-in after his fine display against the Magpies. It won't be easy by any stretch but backing anything other than an Arsenal win seems unthinkable right now.
Another good night for Arsenal and a hard-earned 1-0 win which was all the more sweeter because Tottenham and Chelsea dropped points. Everton is a tough place to go and it wasn't pretty in the second half after a more comfortable first half. But at this stage of the season it's three points, you take the win and move on. Third place is in Arsenal's hands and that's all they can ask for when you think about where they were a month ago. This weekend will be vital as well because Arsenal play Aston Villa and they need to cash in because Spurs and Chelsea face each other. They can open up a real advantage now.
It's always a tough game at Everton. Of all the sides that are organised, can frustrate and get in your face, they are probably the pick of the bunch. Everton will make it awkward for Arsenal but at this stage of the season it can make a difference to have a proper rest - and that's where Arsène Wenger's team have a distinct advantage. Everton have had some massive games against Liverpool and Sunderland while Arsenal have had a chance to regroup and get the Milan and Newcastle games out of their system. They should be nicely set up for the final push, the sprint finish to the season. The back four pretty much picks itself at the moment but I would like to see Arsenal pick an attacking line-up with pace and energy - I'd have Chamberlain and Walcott in the starting XI. If they can get at Everton's full backs early on we'll see if the home side are jaded or lethargic after their recent exertions. I fancy Arsenal to win this one 2-0.
After a succession of games in which we've gone behind, it was very pleasing to see Arsenal show a different quality - the ability to hold a lead. I don't think it's a huge coincidence that Arsenal's resurgence in form has coincided with the return of a pair of dedicated full backs. Koscielny and Vermaelen is one of the best centre back partnerships in the league when allowed to play together - which hasn't been often this season - and being able to play a cohesive unit paid dividends last night. Everton applied a lot of pressure in the second half but failed to create many chances, which tells its own story as to how well we defended. Playing Ramsey from the left was an interesting tactic that I believe worked well. However, I still worry about our lack of ruthlessness in front of goal. We should have put Everton out of sight in the first half an hour and it ended up being a harder game than it needed to be. I watched Manchester United at White Hart Lane a few weeks ago take the first three chances they created to win a game comfortably. We need to aspire to that kind of clinical finishing. The scores from other games kept flashing up on the Goodison scoreboards and I'm not sure how helpful that was to the team in the last 20 minutes, given how other results fell nicely for us. But it was another richly deserved win.
You pretty much always know what you're going to get at Goodison Park. It's one of the few grounds in the league that is still capable of creating a cauldron-like atmosphere and it's a ground I always enjoy visiting. But our record there has been pretty good of late. This is something of a rare position for Arsenal because Everton have played twice since our last game, including a tooth-and-nail cup tie against Sunderland at the weekend. We're also slowly getting players back and the manager has some choices to make. For instance, does he reinstate Ramsey, or keep faith with a very in-form Rosicky? Does Gervinho or Chamberlain play from the left? I watched Santos in the reserves last week and he looked increasingly sharp as the game went on. But of course there's a balance to be struck because the manager won't want to tinker too much with a winning side. I think given Everton's exertions over the last week, Arsenal need to make sure they're at least level going into the last quarter of the game. We can't always take it for granted that we will score a late goal, but if it's level with 20 minutes or so left, you'd fancy Arsenal have the firepower from the bench and the momentum to snatch the points. But concentration and focus will be of the utmost necessity.

Absolutely and thanks! Wish it would happen more often to be honest. To often folks are just put down for their input rather than debated and that is a shame. Too many posters have just disappeared after repeated attacks. There is a definite lack of common courtesy permeating and percolating by some and it sometimes requires a referee. So Thanks again for being there! However, It is most unfortunate that some feel they are exempted from any rules at all and get away w/ the same type of infantile slamming of others over and over, effectively reducing any attempt to have meaningful dialogue. (the BeeMaster Pets, if you will)I'm still glad someone is watching though.
But if you want to play....... ;)

Those condition codes are pretty specific to a sa firearm with a hammer, one of Mr. Cooper's favorite firearms being the 1911, this makes sense
the military also utilizes condition codes for firearms, and there are only 4, 4 to 1. However due to the difference between one firearm and another the condition codes can change up little bit by bit.
M9 Condition Codes:
4: Chamber empty, slide forward, no magazine inserted, safety on.
3: Chamber empty, slide forward, magazine inserted, safety on.
2: Does not apply.
1: Round in chamber, slide forward, magazine inserted, safety on.
You see that there's nothing about a hammer in these codes, and the safety is ALWAYS on until ready to fire (as per universal firearm safety rule 4) and taking it off and carrying it as such is not a carry code.
Out of uniform I carry firearms with no manual safeties. I still refer to them as Condition one, despite the lack of safety. Condition Zero has always sounded dumb to me, to my mind condition zero sound more like out of ammo or dead, IMHO.

My new P944 has what seems to me to be way too much trigger travel, in both DA and SA. It goes so far back before letoff that it's hard to keep the same trigger finger position, which naturally plays hell with accuracy.
Is it just me, or is it a characteristic of the gun?
Can I get a trigger job done to shorten travel, and is that a good idea?

Dead Fetus In Bag May Have Been Drowned, No Charges Against Teen Yet
(Ben Yakas) This week, two teens were allegedly shoplifting at the Herald Square Victoria's Secret when police found a dead fetus in one of their bags. Tiana Rodriguez, 17, and Francis Estevez, 17, have both pleaded not guilty to charges of petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. Preliminary autopsy reports state the baby was born almost full-term and died of asphyxiation, and cop sources tell NBC that it had fluid in its lungs and may have drowned.
Despite the fact that cop sources are telling multiple outlets about the autopsy report, the medical examiner's office officially states the cause of death is still under investigation; prosecutors likely won't increase the charges until the report is complete, which could take a few weeks.

The issue may be taken out of his hands, but Jazz shooting guard Randy Foye said Tuesday he hopes to have a future with the Jazz beyond this season. He has emerged as a viable option at shooting guard, although the Jazz seem to have plenty of long-term options at the position with Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks. However, it could be tough to turn away a player who will likely not only break the franchise's single season record for 3-pointers, but could do it before the All-Star break.
As I wrote for Wednesday's Tribune, Foye needs just 15 more 3s to tie Mehmet Okur's record 129 3-pointers. In a Tuesday morning one-on-one, Foye discussed his hot shooting, but also his adjustment to Utah, and said some revealing things about his future.
Here's his quote in full:
"To tell you the truth I do see myself long-term here. Because everything from an organization, to the values they have here is me. And in the beginning I probably never would have thought it was Utah, probably thought I was a big-city guy. But this is me. I got my family here, my family really likes it here, even when my friends come out they really like it. We're from the East Coast, and all you see is life moving so fast. Everything here is kind of slow and it's just laid back and I see myself here. I love the guys here. I know the guys, we get along really well. I just picture myself being here for a while. I don't really want to talk about contract things, but I just picture I would want to be here for a long time."

I'm guessing you're a cat lover......... :wink:
Here I am spending my own hard earned money to spay some homeless cats in my neighborhood to stop the population from growing and tonight I find that one of the cats I have spayed had been shot through the eye with a BB gun. I've seen a neighbor in his backyard shooting a BB gun into the trees, presumably at squirrels, so I'm putting 2+2 together here. I have no proof that it was him, but I intend to get the sheriff on it in the morning. I have three cats of my own, all collared and tagged, and if any of them come up wounded I'm going to beat that motherfucker to death. Excuse my language.
I'm guessing you're a cat lover......... :wink:
If you catch him I say to castrate him with his BB gun and make sure you use a rusty BB. I am not really much of a cat lover, but recently had to have my cat who I have owned since I was 2 put to sleep. Was the sadest day of my life.
pop always taught me, "you ain't supposed to shoot it if you ain't gonna eat it".... course there wasn't enough left of the rat i shot yesterday with my .45 to feed the birds
