Former El Paso County politician and convicted drug trafficker to be sentenced Wednesday
Supporters of Willie Gandara, Jr. petition judge for leniency
EL PASO, Texas - He was called County Commissioner by day, the "Godfather" by night.
Former El Paso County politician and convicted drug trafficker Willie Gandara, Jr. will learn his fate in a federal courtroom Wednesday.
Gandara, Jr. was an El Paso County Commissioner and former Soccoro mayor before being convicted of operating a Lower Valley stash house and masterminding the shipment of hundreds of pounds of marijuana to Oklahoma and Chicago.
Gandara supporters wrote letters to U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo, pleading for leniency in the former politician's sentencing.
Letters of support came from Gandara's wife, Claudia Gandara, his oldest daughter, Gabrielle, and other El Paso County residents who claim Gandara is a decent man.
Among those who wrote pleas for leniency are San Elizario I.S.D. District Social Worker Nora Garcia, Familias Triunfadoras Executive Director Maria Covernali-Ortiz, attorney David Austin, LULAC President Nicholas Dominguez, and El Paso Community College professor Rodolfo Hernandez.
Gandara faces up to 40 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine.

There was a touch of Lucille Ball-style bravado in her delivery that was somehow refreshing.
Lawrence grew up in Louisville, Ky., where she worshiped Lucille Ball.
Lucille has little to say, focusing instead on the alcohol accessibility in the building.
And then someone like Jessica Walter, who plays Lucille on Arrested, her timing is solid.
But in the past, face-lifts were for the elder Bluth woman, Lucille—and with terrifying results.
He had been speaking in a low voice, calculated not to reach Lucille's ears.
Hank looked at Lucille; she was disappearing into the living room.
Lucille, the Countess of Radantz, is at the present moment a married woman.
At Lyons it must have been that Lucille first discovered he was dogging us.
Presently Lucille rose from her knees and turning came towards me.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
We typically spend close to 90 percent of our time inside - at school, work and home. While outdoor air quality is very important, so too is the quality of the air we breathe at home and the office. Yet most of us know very little about the condition of our indoor climate. The chemicals that we breathe, ingest or absorb through our skin today are quite different from those to which our parents and grandparents were exposed. Join researcher Charles J. Weschler, (UMDNJ-RWJM), for a conversation on the marked changes in indoor air quality over the last 50 years.
This program was made possible by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Center for Research Resources, a component of the National Institutes of Health.
This program was held in collaboration with Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
About The Dish
Rather than listening passively to a scientist discuss his or her work, the Koshland Science Museum's "The Dish" is similar in concept to a Café Scientifique in which audience members are encouraged to ask questions and dig deeper into a particular subject area. The goal of the conversation between the scientist and the audience is not only to inform and entertain but to increase both the expert's and non-expert's understanding of the issues in a casual atmosphere.

Newly Blonde Jessica Alba Lunches at Katsuya
With Starbucks in hand, Jessica Alba headed to lunch at Katsuya in Los Angeles today (August 27).
The 31-year-old actress wore a tan blouse, striped jacket, lavender pants, and light flats as she carried a large brown handbag. Blonde highlights shone through, though her hair was in a low bun.
Gone is her natural brown hair due to her role in the graphic novel-inspired film "Sin City 2." Miss Alba will portray stripper Nancy Callahan in the movie.
The "Machete" actress took fans along for her hair transformation on her Twitter account. On Thursday she tweeted, "Bye Bye Brown Hair" r u on viddy yet? I'm documenting my brown to Sin City blonde!"
Early on in the process, Jessica tweeted a photo of her hair in limbo with the comment "Stage 1 -ok it doesn't look that different but it's a process."
Her stage 2 photo included a smiling hairdresser in the background as her locks began to change color. Finally, soft blonde tresses were photographed with the comment, "She got roots that Nancy #sincity2."
Enjoy the pictures of Jessica Alba heading to Katsuya in Los Angeles, CA (August 27).

Being the Chief of Stuff
If you ever read this blog, follow me on Twitter or any of the other number of networks I'm on, you'll quickly realize that I am fascinated by anything that's behind-the-scenes. For example, I love that with New Marketing Labs I get to hang out with really cool companies at their offices. As I've said before, I try to look behind-the-scenes of other industries to learn from and apply to the way I do things with my businesses. That's why when I began reading about Reggie Love, the "body man" for President Obama, I became super interested. A "body man" in politics is not a personal bodyguard, the Secret Service takes care of that. Instead, a "body man", according to Wikipedia, is:
a personal assistant to a politician or political candidate. A body man accompanies the politician or candidate virtually everywhere, often arranging lodging, transportation or meals, and providing companionship, snacks, a cellphone, and any other necessary assistance.
After learning about Reggie after watching a MSNBC special on an inside look at the working White House, I did some more research. Reggie has become one of the most well-known body men in political history, due in part to his role as a basketball player with the championship Duke University team and his try-outs with two NFL teams. There have been some very interesting articles on Reggie and surrounding him considering himself the "Chief of Stuff".
When President Obama was on the campaign trail, ESPN caught up with, then, Senator Obama and Reggie to profile the Chief of Stuff. It's a fun video to watch, in my opinion, since it's another look behind-the-scenes.
If you can't view this video in your browser, you can also find it here…
Not only do I find motivation watching people like Reggie Love do whatever it takes, working 18-20 hours or more per day, when I first heard Reggie describe himself as the "Chief of Stuff" it resonated with me. As General Manager at both New Marketing Labs and at my steakhouse, I tend to focus on operations, processes, and doing my best to ensure everything runs smoothly. Along the way there are tons of "stuff" that needs to be dealt with on a daily basis.
Also, there a lot of things that I help Chris Brogan with throughout the course of the week. Now, Chris never asked me to take on a role as his personal aide, though I am his right-hand man with a lot of things. He does after all have a personal assistant in Kathryn Jennex. However, I'm always concerned with ensuring that Chris is taken care of and that his other obligations outside of NML are taken care of.
So, why do I do this? Because first, foremost and most importantly, Chris is a close friend of mine who I want to see continue to succeed. He doesn't like doing paperwork, organizing or worry about the detail stuff. That's not what he's best at. I, on the other hand, enjoy doing that and actually need to be organized to function properly. So, as much as I can, I work with Chris to make sure he doesn't have to worry about all that "stuff" that would slow him down. I also work with our internal team to ensure that we're aligned on processes, staying organized and always moving things like side projects along. With how busy everything gets, it is very easy to let certain things go astray. I try my best to ensure that doesn't happen.
That role doesn't stop with NML or Chris though. I function in this role at the steakhouse and at home too. Joe, my best friend and business partner at Caminito, is just like Chris in how he feels about "stuff". Joe is best at being our Executive Chef, not at organizing, planning, logistics (except as it relates directly to the functioning of service). At home, I naturally fall into this role because of how much I do it by day. I handle the bills, the scheduling of maintenance, logistics, and anything else that will help Laura and I out. That's not to say that Laura doesn't do a ton of "stuff" that keeps us functioning. Things like laundry, dirty dishes and tons more seem to always escape me. She keeps me in line with that stuff.
I guess that makes me a "Chief of Stuff" kinda too, huh? I'm okay with that and actually enjoy it. So, my official title may be "General Manager" but I thing "Chief of Stuff" is a little more fun
What are you the Chief of? How do you handle all of the "stuff" that needs to be taken care of on a daily, weekly or monthly basis?

Canada businesses see inflation pressure: BoC poll
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - More than a third of Canadian companies expect inflation to push beyond the central bank's comfort zone in the next two years, according to a poll released on Monday, as many businesses plan to pass along higher commodity costs to their customers.
The results of the Bank of Canada survey of business managers supported market expectations that the bank would keep interest rates on hold next week, after a surprise decision to forego a rate cut last month because of a worsening outlook on inflation.
At the same time, businesses surveyed by the Bank of Canada in the second quarter were relatively upbeat on their sales outlook and investment plans compared with the first quarter, even though the economy remained sluggish.
Rising prices of oil and other commodities have driven up costs for Canadian businesses, and some plan to pass on those costs to consumers, the survey showed.
As a result, 36 percent expect inflation of above 3 percent over the next two years, up from 17 percent of the respondents in the previous quarterly poll. A majority of 63 percent expect inflation to stay within the target range of 1-3 percent.
Soaring prices for oil, food and other commodities caused the balance of opinion on both input and output price growth to rise to its highest ever for the survey, which goes back to 1998. The balance of opinion is the percentage of companies expecting greater price increases minus the percentage expecting smaller price increases.
"Many firms plan to at least partially pass their higher costs through to their output prices, and they expect their competitors to do the same," the bank said in its release.
Still, other companies said they would absorb the higher prices due to competitive pressures. Continued...

A total of 240 prospects showed up at the Under Armour Combine at the New Orleans Saints Indoor Facility for Sunday's event that included testing in several areas along with position drills, individual drills and some 7-on-7 work.
There was a long list of impressive prospects and while we may not hit on each one in this piece we will have much more coverage over the next several days.
Workout Warrior
Scout.com can have only one "Workout Warrior" and with Dutchtown (La.) safety Landon Collins in attendance he ran away from the competition to take home that honor.
Collins measured 5-11 ¾ and tipped the scales at 210 pounds. He looked phenomenal from a physical standpoint and if you would have never seen him on tape or workout at safety then most would label him a linebacker.
While playing linebacker may not be completely out of the picture for Collins he certainly has the skill set to stay at safety.
The four-star safety ran a 4.39 40-yard dash that was laser timed and while he may not have had the best day he ever had in man coverage drills following the testing he showed that he has very good hips and can get pretty physical with his hands in pressing guys off the line.
Add in Collins' 36" vertical which was second and 10'9" broad jump which was the best of the day out of all the participants and it's easy to see why he took home the top honor.
Big Man Battle
A pair of Baton Rouge products won the "Big Man Battle Award" that was handed out with defensive end Tylor Harris of Episcopal and offensive guard Blaine Poydras of Scotlandville edging out the rest of the competition.
Harris (6-2 ¾, 251, 4.81 [40]) has offers from Louisiana Tech, UL-Lafayette and North Texas but more should come his way during the spring evaluation period. He looks a little more explosive than he looked on tape during his junior season and it's easy to see that having to play both ways for Episcopal took a toll on him as the season progressed, and as it should.
Poydras is still flying under the radar but he may end up being Louisiana's top offensive linemen when all is said and done. He is listed as measuring 6-0 ¼ and weighing 320 pounds. The weight is accurate as that is what he weighed in at a combine about six weeks ago but the height is definitely an error as he measured 6-2 ½ at that same combine and he and Harris are about the same height with Harris looking a tad bit taller.
There were some good one-on-one battles with the big men and Harris showed some quickness and explosiveness while Poydras did a good job of moving his feet and holding his own in competition that is much easier for defenders to win.
Some other notable linemen who were impressive included 2013 offensive guard Chris Taylor of Zachary (6-1 ½, 299), 2012 offensive guard Dominick Billich of Archbishop Rummel (6-2, 283), 2014 offensive tackle Larry Lam of South Lafourche (6-2, 287) and 2013 offensive lineman Karl Malone, Jr. of Cedar Creek (6-2 ½, 284).
Speed Kills
The 40-yard dash is the testing measure that seems to get the most attention from prospects and fans and it was what all of the prospects were talking about before and after they ran.
Surprisingly, six guys ran under 4.5 with three running in the 4.4 range and three others clocking in at 4.39 or lower – all defensive backs.
2013 athlete Jeryl Brazil of Loranger (La.) had the fastest time of the day at 4.35 seconds followed by another 2013 guy from the Bayou State in Richard Allen of John Curtis (4.38) and Landon Collins (4.39).
A trio of 2012 prospects was in the next group as Derrick Raymond of Metairie (La.) East Jefferson posted a 4.4 flat followed by cornerback Byerson Cockrell (4.43) of Columbus (Miss.) and wide receiver Nyck Young (4.48) of Homewood (Ala.).
Loose Hips
In trying to pick the deepest position the defensive backs would certainly have to get a strong look as several tested very well and also excelled when the football was thrown into the mix.
Trevon Stewart of Patterson (La.) entered the day as the cornerback that most were talking about and he tied for the best short shuttle of the day (4.19) along with a pair of 2013 DB's in Noel Ellis of New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr and Sergio Medina of Boutte (La.) Hahnville.
Stewart was also the most technically sound cover guy and he did not get beat on one play when matching up against receivers. It's easy to see why he has early offers and expect that list to grow even more.
Ellis has some time before his recruitment will kick into gear and while he picked off eight passes as a sophomore playing a lot of Cover-2 he was not nearly as comfortable in having to play man. Ellis will only get better and the same can be said for Medina, who is a future strong safety in college at 5-10 ½, 192 pounds.
Jeryl Brazil certainly has the speed to play corner but he was the most raw in terms of technique and playing from above the waist. Right now, Brazil is a track guy playing football and he doesn't know how to use his hands or find the ball and make plays on it.
Medina has the makings of a good strong safety for 2013 but Cyril Noland of Ruston (La.) is one college coaches are looking at for 2012. Noland performed at a combine in Fort Worth on Saturday and then made the drive down to New Orleans to compete. He didn't test as well as he normally does but he made some nice plays matched up against a solid group of receivers.
Another couple of 2013 prospects to keep an eye on are Laron Todd of Patterson and Richard Allen.
Todd (5-8, 155, [4.58] 40) will start at free safety as a junior but when Stewart heads off the college Todd will take over his cornerback spot and that will be his future at the next level.
Allen has so much speed and was able to flip his hips and turn and run with the fastest receivers on the field. Allen needs to add some weight to his 160-pound frame but he is an exceptional athlete with a nice blend of cover skills.
Playmakers in the Passing Game
A pair of quarterbacks from Patterson (La.) stood out amongst the signal callers as Justice Jones and Denzel Johnson made some nice throws. Jones had one of the best arms showing some good zip and being able to fit the ball in tight spaces. Johnson is a year behind Jones so the 2013 prospect will have to wait his turn but Patterson's offense will be in good hands when he takes over the reigns.
Another interesting signal caller in attendance was Kevin Fouquier II of Lafayette (La.) Comeaux. Fouquier (6-3, 207, [4.98] 40) looks to have improved his arm strength and accuracy along with his fundamentals from his sophomore season and has gone from looking like just an athlete to someone who may have a chance to play behind center at the next level. He has an offer from hometown UL-Lafayette but the Ragin' Cajuns should have more competition in the near future.
There were plenty of talented receivers for the quarterbacks to throw to led by 2012 wide out Jaydrick Declouet of Patterson (La.) (5-9 ½, 175, [4.54] 40) and a pair of 2013 prospects from the Bayou State in Rickey Jefferson of Destrehan (5-11, 182, [4.59] 40) and Donald Gage of Baton Rouge Redemptorist (5-10, 166, [4.6] 40).
Declouet is a natural pass catcher with excellent hands as he made several fantastic catches with one being on the sideline where we extended well outside his frame and got a toe inbounds, then followed that up by plucking one up from his feet that was behind him.
Some question if Declouet will be able to handle the physical part at the next level when he is pressed by bigger defensive backs and he showed that his quickness will help him there when he beat Landon Collins easily off the line. Collins recovered nicely and broke up the pass in the end zone and that was one of the better 1-on-1 battles of the day.
Jefferson, who is the younger brother of LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson, looks so natural and smooth as a young wide out. Everything he did looked effortless as he got in and out of breaks very well and ran good disciplined routes. He has good hands and got them out in front of his body on nearly every pass thrown to him except for one that he let get into his bread basket.
Gage was impressive at a combine in late February and he was just as impressive going up against better defensive backs in New Orleans. Adding weight to his frame is going to be key for Gage but he is someone who will make some noise for 2013.
Another 2013 guy to keep an eye on is Darryl Campbell of Sawyerville (Ala.) Greensboro (6-1 ½, 173, [4.74] 40). Campbell has good height and he showed that he can go up and get the ball.
A couple of sleeper prospects in Louisiana to keep an eye on for 2012 are Kavahra Holmes of Breaux Bridge (6-0 ½, 165, [4.58] 40) and Steele Merritt of Natchitoches-St. Mary's (6-0 ½, 184, [4.78] 40). Both have flown under the radar but both proved that they could be valuable possession receivers in college at the right level.
There weren't nearly as many tight ends but that didn't mean there weren't some quality prospects led by Deondre Skinner of Patterson (La.) and Bo Harper of Monroe (La.) Ouachita Christian.
Skinner (6-2, 208, [4.85] 40) plays mostly wide receiver right now but he needs to make the commitment to add some weight to his frame and get in tight end mode. He could be a very good tight end prospect for 2013 as he is such a natural pass catcher that he could create a lot of mismatches when he flexes out.
Harper (6-3, 235, [4.72] 40) moves well for a big guy and he is more of the typical in-line blocker as opposed to Skinner. Harper, who is in the 2012 class, does have good hands and can be an asset in the passing game.
Backs and Backers
Mississippi State commitment Deonte Evans (5-10 ½, 191, [4.64] 40) was the headliner when it came to running backs and he gave a glimpse of what Dan Mullen and co. see in his arsenal.
The McComb (Miss.) product tested well and he made a couple of nice grabs when he took it to linebackers in some passing drills. He also flashed some quick feet when doing through individual drills.
While Evans was the big name with the backs, Lorenzo Phillips of Patterson (La.) attracted the most attention with the linebackers.
Phillips (6-1, 200, [4.74] 40) showed that excellent burst off the line and straight-line speed that led to so many bone-crushing hits during his junior campaign. However, he also showed that he needs some work with his lateral movement and with playing in space.

Wrestling Forum : WWE, TNA, Indy Wrestling, Lucha Underground, Women of Wrestling Forums (http://www.wrestlingforum.com/forumindex.php)
- Classic Wrestling (http://www.wrestlingforum.com/classic-wrestling/)
- - Saturn (http://www.wrestlingforum.com/classic-wrestling/624114-saturn.html)
I started watching about a year after Perry Saturn was released after his injury in WWE; I never got to watch the guy wrestle at all, but recently because of his interviews and fairly interesting life-after-WWE I had decided to look at his work in late WCW and between 2000-2002 WWE (then WWF of course).
I thought, personally, that he was a very good wrestler. I still haven't seen any videos on his promos or anything, but regardless of that, I think that he had both the power and the speed to be considered a really good agile power-wrestler. Not to mention he had a submission finisher which was simple yet great, and can be considered a 'credible' submission finisher.
What's your thoughts on Perry Saturn?
Thoughts on him being released whilst injured/barely after recovering from his injury?[citation needed]
Thoughts on how his life turned out after wrestling for WWE?
Thoughts on him possibly returning for the famed 1000th episode of RAW and the unlikelihood of him staying in WWE as anything?
Re: Saturn
You know how everyone always talks about the one wrestler that the big guys never got behind? Saturn's that dude. He could do EVERYTHING and it all looked believable. He should of been a way bigger star in WCW. By the time he hit WWE, they didn't need him.
Re: Saturn
Saturn was pretty cool. I started watching him in WCW when he began being the renegade member of Raven's Flock. That was probably the best story-line involving Perry Saturn in WCW.
His WWF run was okay, until he went apeshit on a jobber and totally destroyed the guy, which probably led to that ridiculous "Moppy" gimmick (which he got over and then got punished even further for daring to get over w/ a ridiculous gimmick. That pretty much sounded the death knell for Saturn.
As a wrestler he was pretty good. Like you said he was agile, he had creative offense, looked & sounded tough. I don't know if he had the "IT factor" to be a legit star but he had the ability to compete in my opinion.
Re: Saturn
I don't know anything about WCW from personal experience, but I always hear that DDP had the charisma (and some wrestling skills) to become a big player, and was on his way until WCW got bought. If that's true, would Saturn have been the less charismatic but better wrestling version of DDP in WCW?
Was he doing it as a gimmick or did he really get pissed in the ring for some reason?
But yea, he certainly seemed like the perfect example of an agile big guy that the WWE has always been looking for, but has never ever ever found it.
Re: Saturn
Saturn was a destined mid card wrestler for life, much like his Radicalz partner, Malenko. Neither of them were going to be World Champions, but they were solid in the ring and got the job done. I do think that he should have been treated better than he had been in the WWF, I mean we all got a chuckle out of him preferring Moppy over his girlfriend, but in all seriousness he could have been a wrecking machine in the European/Intercontinental division.
Re: Saturn
DDP had already long peaked as a wrestler [He was around 45 years old when WCW was bought]. He definitely had the charisma and in-ring abilities to be a bigger star but WCW was too stuck in the past and, despite DDP getting three WCW Championships, they lasted less than a month all together.
Re: Saturn
Perry Saturn was not bad in WCW as well. When those guys feuded with Filthy Animals.
Re: Saturn
Perry Saturn for me was one of those guys like Raven, Mike Awesome, Lance Storm, Shane Douglas, Bam Bam Bigelow, Stevie Richards and Big Vito that WCW signed from ECW simply so ECW couldn't have them and to pack out their own roster but with no idea on what to actually do with them soon after signing them. In ECW as a part of The Eliminators i'd go as far as to say that only The Dudley Boys were a better all round tag team and they are considered to be one of the very best of all time which says a lot of about how good The Eliminators were.
Much like with Raven in WCW it started off alright for Perry Saturn as he was basically the enforcer of The Flock alongside Raven, Billy Kidman, Chris Kanyon, Lodi, Scotty Riggs and Van Hammer and if i remember rightly Perry Saturn was briefly th TV title holder although by that time in WCW that title didn't mean what it did in the early 90's. Once Perry Saturn turned face and began feuding with Raven he became more and more irrelevant as WCW only knew how to book the top four or five feuds and everything else including their Cruiserweight division became directionless and poorly used.
I didn't have much hope for Perry Saturn really when he came to WWE as WWE by 2000 were stacked in every department and he was always going to be behind in the mid card to Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko who came in with him as well as Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, William Regal and Taz. If i look at someone who was booked horribly in WWE then Perry Saturn would instantly spring to mind as he had horrible storylines with Terri Runnels and fucking "Moppy" which saw Perry Saturn thrown in horrible matches with Raven and The APA.
Re: Saturn
I never liked him.
Re: Saturn
Saturn in ECW as part of The Eliminators was probably the best run of his wrestling career. An awesome team and I suggest any of their matches against RVD & Sabu.
Saturn going crazy on jobber Mike Bell:
Hopefully this works.

"This graduation announcement exceeded our expectations! We wanted something that both announced our son's graduation but also allowed us to share some senior pictures we had taken of him doing what he loves with our family and friends! Everyone has loved their graduation invitation that also serves as a photo keepsake! It also arrived on time and looked better when we saw it than it did on the computer! We plan on using tiny prints for graduation invitations for our younger son in the future! We strongly recommend this product!!!!!"
"The quailty of the card and the personaliztion was what great about this card. It is so simple but elegant exactly what we were going for."
"My daughter and I both loved this announcement as she was looking for something different than the usual graduation announcement. We used a black/white picture and it turned out great. The paper is a nice weight and the striped back is a nice twist. So far, we have received several compliments on the announcement. I do wish they had a coordinating envelope that had a lining in it."

FORD has introduced a sportier version of the WQ Fiesta that went on sale in January.
But while driving enthusiasts may rue the lack of more power over the regular range, the new Zetec does gain small but significant suspension and gearing modifications, as well as a wheel and tyre upgrade, over its WP Zetec predecessor.
The former involves revisions to front and rear springs, resulting in a slightly lower ride height and a wider stance.
The suspension's dampers have also been modified which, along with stiffer spring rates than before, bring better body control during a wide range of manoeuvres.
To that end Ford has also installed a thicker-diameter front anti-roll bar, different suspension bushes front and rear, and a stiffer twist beam in the rear suspension housing.
The previously optional 16-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, shod with 195/45 R16V low-profile tyres, are now standard on the Zetec.
The company says the upshot is improved steering feel and sharper handling properties.
Ford has also fitted closer-ratio forward gearing to the Zetec's five-speed manual gearbox. First gear is now 8.6 per cent lower, while fourth gear has seen an 11.4 per cent drop.
So while the Zetec employs the same 1.6-litre twin-cam 16-valve four-cylinder engine as all Fiestas (delivering 74kW of power at 6000rpm and 146Nm of torque at 4000rpm), both acceleration and mid-range response should be slightly sprightlier.
Meanwhile, the driver-adaptive four-speed automatic gearbox – complete with mandatory anti-lock brakes and electronic brake-force distribution – continues as an option.
To refresh, the WQ Fiesta is a comprehensively facelifted version of the WP Fiesta range that went on sale in April 2004.
Revealed in base LX and luxury Ghia guises at the Sydney motor show last October, Ford implemented revised headlights and tail-lights sporting fashionable chromed ringed detailing, a feature also found in the reprofiled front and rear bumpers.
Other visual differences include new side rub-srips, more colour options (a bronze, blue and grey) and new cabin trim, while a completely redesigned dashboard boasting soft-feel plastic, redrawn instrumentation and altered switches and controls have also been added.
Ford Australia contributed to the new fascia as it was originally part of the Indian B376 Fiesta sedan program that the local engineers have worked on.
As reported in GoAuto last June, the four-door Fiesta sedan may still be under consideration for Australian consumption. Ford will be watching the sales of the newly introduced Holden Barina and Toyota Yaris sedans very closely.
All 2006 Fiestas also offer more for money, including an MP3 audio input facility on manual models (the automatic gearbox's bulk apparently precludes this), an extra seat pocket and a three-flash lane-change indicator function.
Plus the Zetec auto now costs $800 less than before at $1500 above the manual, while ABS and EBD are now available as an $800 option on the base LX manual – previously it was an auto-only LX thing.
With the recent demise of the Holden XC Barina SRi, Toyota Echo Sportivo and Proton Satria GTi, the Zetec is the only sports-orientated light-car entrant this side of the considerably more powerful $26,990 VW Polo GTI.
Ford is banking on this fact, as well as the Fiesta's good press reception, German heritage (exploited in all its advertising campaigns since launch) and high specification levels to assist in muscling more market share from the hot Yaris and Suzuki Swift, as well as the Honda Jazz, Mazda2, Peugeot 206, Renault Clio and Polo competitors.
The segment is booming this year, so Ford is hopeful of moving between 500 to 600 Fiestas each month, an approximately 30 per cent jump on the 433 monthly average achieved last year.
In other words, the Blue Oval is leaving the bargain-basement babies – including the South Korean Barina, Kia Rio and Hyundai Getz – alone for now, with its president Tom Gorman saying that he is keen "to protect the brand" against severe discounting.
Nevertheless, he also added that, in the future, once some of the Fiesta's hidden costs are taken out of the system, there may be room for Ford to market Fiesta more aggressively on price.

Nissan, VW Target Budget Car Market
Last year, Nissan announced plans to revive its Datsun nameplate for new and emerging markets, specializing in budget cars that could be as cheap as $3,000 in certain countries.
Now, other automakers are looking at doing the same, with Volkswagen planning a low-cost car brand with vehicles priced from $6,500 to $10,000. Of course, those vehicles would only be sold in emerging markets under a different nameplate. The German automaker has not, however, made an official decision on whether to build such a low-cost option, and is expected to make a decision by 2016 if a lower-range brand is to be announced.
SEE ALSO: Datsun to be Revived for Emerging Markets
Nissan's move of reviving the Datsun brand with low-cost vehicles is a page taken out of Renault's book. Renault, Nissan's business partner, has the Dacia brand which has been quite successful. Datsun will be launched in 2014 in Russia, India, and Indonesia and has worked closely with Dacia to develop the new budget brand.
According to Amaud Deboeuf, director of Renault's entry-range program, the automaker expects to sell close to 1-million cars based on the company's low-cost platform in 2012, almost an increase of 20 percent compared to its 813,000 in 2011.

I currently own two pump shotguns, a Remington 870 and Benelli Super Nova Defense/Tactical. Every time I take them out shooting I get a stupid grin on my face when I blow water filled milk jugs and other things into oblivion! Not only that, shotgun ammo is still easy to come by! Now I am looking at getting a Benelli M3 Super 90 because of its ability to switch between semi auto and pump action. Does Benelli still make this particular shotgun, or am I going to have to hunt down a used one?
Another shotgun on my list is the Stoeger Coach gun in 12 gauge!
For awhile I was addicted to handguns, but now shotguns are quickly becoming my new thing! Is there a 12 step program to ending my new found addiction, or is the only cure more 12 gauge? :blink:
If you must know my use for another shotgun, I have no real use for another one. I know my 870 and Super Nova will work fine, I just want to have another one because I can!

It's been a long time coming, but here is a real trailer for the film. It's getting good buzz so far, so if you like it, please, please, please forward our website to your friends. Our movie has a a zero budget for promotion, so the only way anybody will know about it is if our fans help spread the word.
Another question that naturally comes up is "When is this coming out?" Well, I am fixing the soundtrack right now, and I have a company called Digital Barbershop working on color correction, to help it look good. So, check our their website and be sure to let them know that you want to see the movie as soon as possible! But, no matter what, it's coming out this fall.
Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing!

Green Bay to Host NDSU After 10-Day Break
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After its longest break of the season, the Green Bay women's basketball team (6-2) will return home to kick off a two-game homestand by hosting North Dakota State (3-7) on Tuesday, Dec. 18. It will mark just the third time this season the Phoenix has played on its home court.
Green Bay enters the contest coming off a 10-day break over finals week, having last played at Marquette on Dec. 8. The Phoenix forced a season-high 26 turnovers on a season-high 16 steals to overcome a 26-23 halftime deficit and defeat the Golden Eagles 55-46 on their home court. Freshman Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario, Canada) grabbed a game-high six steals and added six points while playing a career-high 17 minutes. Older sister Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario, Canada) contributed five steals to Green Bay's impressive defensive display.
North Dakota State pays a visit to the Kress Center to wrap up a two-game road trip that began with a 63-42 loss at Creighton on Dec. 16. The Bison has lost four straight, and has yet to win on the road this season (0-4). Green Bay holds a 4-0 all-time record against North Dakota State, including an 82-59 road win during the 2011-12 season that saw five Phoenix players score in double figures. Green Bay has not allowed the Bison to score more than 59 points in three of four all-time meetings, and boasts a +18.5 scoring margin in the series history.
The Phoenix will stay at home to play consecutive home games for this first time this season as nonconference rival Wisconsin visits the Kress Center on Sunday, Dec. 23. Green Bay will look to win its fourth straight against the Badgers in the 29th meeting of a series that dates back to 1975. Fans in attendance will be given a Phoenix holiday ornament sponsored by Prevea Health.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Fans can listen to Bruce VandenPlas on the call on WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM and 1400 AM. Live stats and Live video will also be available for the game against the Bison. Be sure to follow @GBPhoenixWBB and @JustinGrones on Twitter for updates throughout the game.
STEALING SISTERS: In Green Bay's 55-46 win against Marquette on Dec. 8, the Phoenix used 16 steals to force 26 Marquette turnovers-both season highs. Freshman Kaili Lukan played a career-high 17 minutes and recorded a game-high six steals, with older sister Megan Lukan right behind her with five. Green Bay leads the Horizon League in steals per game (10.5), with senior Adrian Ritchie leading all Horizon League players averaging 3.3 steals per game.
ACTION: After 10 days off, the
Phoenix plays its first game since the road win at Marquette on Dec. 8. The
10-day break is the longest break between games the Phoenix will have during
the 2012-13 season. Green Bay will remain at home to take on Wisconsin on Dec.
SCORING DEFENSE: Green Bay leads the Horizon League allowing just 52.9 points per game. The Phoenix has allowed only one opponent to score more than 54 points this season, and boasts a +11.9 scoring margin-good for the top spot in the Horizon League.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: For the first time this season, Green Bay will play consecutive home games after playing five of the last six games away from the Kress Center. The Phoenix will stay at home to host rival Wisconsin on Dec. 23 for the 29th meeting in a series that dates back to 1975.

Enter the courtroom and sit close to the front. The very first row may be reserved for people in custody. When court starts the judge will enter and sit on the bench at the front of the room. A probation officer will usually sit to the judge's left or right and keep the judge informed about any probation information related to the case being called. The clerk will usually sit in front of the judge and will record what happens in each case in a case file. The prosecutor or assistant district attorney will usually sit at a table in front of the judge. He or she represents the state and will present information about the case obtained by the police.
Listen for your name to be called. Your name may be mispronounced so listen closely. When your name is called say "Present" loudly and clearly. If your name is called and you do not answer, it is the same as not being there.

The organisers of this week's protests against George Bush's visit to Britain need to keep that fact at the forefront of their minds as they prepare for their latest rallies. What matters about the demonstration in London in two days time is that it should take place, that it should be large and that it should be peaceful. It matters much less whether the march is routed through Parliament Square and up Whitehall to Trafalgar Square - the route on which the police and the organisers commendably agreed last night - than that it should speak in a dignified manner for millions of Britons in the centre of our capital city.
The organisers and the participants should not be naive. President Bush's visit is a major security challenge for the authorities. We have an unarguable and unconditional obligation to ensure the president's personal security while he is here. To do this in current political conditions in a city that is inhabited by and accessible to people of all kinds is a genuinely serious challenge. Some restrictions are inevitable and those who intend to take part in peaceful protests need to be alive to the realities.
The visit also seems certain to attract some demonstrators who have various forms of more direct action in mind. There was a small sign of that outside Buckingham Palace last night when a protester scaled the palace gates. Ever since the battle in Seattle four years ago, many cities have become battlegrounds for increasingly counterproductive confrontations between demonstrators and the police. That is the last thing either London or the anti-war movement need this week.

#1: Quick question about reusing plastics
I have some heavy duty plastic forks and spoons left over from my niece's birthday party. I ran them through the dishwasher to clean them, and am wondering if they would be safe to reuse. I believe you can't reuse plastic bags, is it the same for plastic silverware? I don't want to save them if they will harbor bacteria. I just don't like the idea of throwing them away if I don't have to.

Got a chance to put together a few upland birds from this past season recently. The Woodcock was the first one I had ever shot or had the opportunity to shoot. I'll admit that I had MANY misses and rejumps on this bird by shooting at the wrong times. I had seen him fly into some brush while sneaking up on some ducks, figured he wouldn't go anywhere in the minute or two I would be involved on the ducks. Ended up going after him but without a dog and couldn't find him or get him to jump. Went back to the truck and tried again with a friend and his lab. Moral of the story, woodcock hunting without a dog is probably not going to typically end well.
The reddish color of the bird really came out well in this pic I think..
Scaled quail down here are like the deer, you have to have a ranch to hunt on and they are predominantly for deer and you can only hunt quail before or after the deer season. Plus the fact that the owners are used to the trophy buck money makes it hard to get anything for less than unreasonable. Cool thing about them is the chestnut patch they have on their bellies and how the blue is more intense than the one's in say Arizona/New Mexico/Texas Panhandle. The concept with the poses was to show the nice chestnut belly of the male on the left and the female on the right. Also when your talking about scaled quail other than these the main separation between the sexes lies in the throat.
The trio on the right is from extreme southwest Kansas and the left trio taken near Laredo,TX. I wish the distinction between the two types had shown better in the picture but still not too hard to see I hope.
Still have a Lesser Prairie Chicken and a couple Kansas pheasants for this year's upland and the wait for september and the hopeful Alaska trip follows.

number of quick wins."
Green Future
NASCIO's Robinson predicted green IT will gain prominence in the public sector as energy costs climb. Part of government's sluggishness on the issue stems from the fact that many agency data centers are renovated state office buildings that weren't built to be data centers. Many of these buildings aren't conducive to the rack-mounted servers, blade servers and storage area network arrays that energy-efficient data centers contain.
Due to the bureaucracy involved in building their own data centers, many governments may get greener by outsourcing data center operations to energy-efficient contractors, said Robinson.
"It's a capital construction project, and it can take many years to get it approved," Robinson explained. Governments unable to approve those projects would likely outsource to vendors with green data centers.
Many state and local governments remain quiet about their green IT research for now, according to James Costa, vice president of government industry for IBM. He said many don't want to publicize their efforts without completing their needs assessments.
"If you're talking 12 months from now, you'll see that three or four state governments have major efforts in this area they've actually had results from," Costa said.
Di Maio said energy-efficient data centers would be an easy first step for green IT in government. Green data centers already have well established designs, and the cost savings are obvious. The next challenge will be implementing green initiatives that don't necessarily reduce energy bills, but promote green values. An example would be a more environmentally friendly disposal process for computers.
Green IT will have different meanings for different government agencies, based on what produces each agency's "carbon footprint," said Di Maio. For example, the carbon footprint of an agency mostly composed of employees using computers would come from electricity consumption. Energy-efficient data centers and computers would be the focus of green activities for those agencies.
On the other hand, the overall carbon footprint of an agency focused on managing fleets of trucks comes from internal combustion engines. So rather than reducing data center energy consumption, that agency might deploy software that helps the agency use vehicles more efficiently.
Financial motivations are a start, Di Maio added, but only a cultural change will make government IT truly green.

BSE or 'Mad Cow Disease' information.
Up to date ISU Link for BSE or Mad Cow Disease.
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is the scientific term for a disease which affects the brains of cattle. Soon after BSE was first discovered in the United Kingdom, it became more commonly known as "mad cow disease," most likely because of the emotional response it generated with the public.
Unlike most livestock diseases, BSE is not caused by a bacterial or viral infection, but rather is the result of infectious prions. These are unique proteins that may bond with a cow's brain cells, altering their composition and ultimately leading to the animal's death. Mad cow disease is believed to be transferred to cattle when they eat these infectious proteins, yet science has shown the disease can only affect those cows that are genetically susceptible.
The first U.S. case of mad cow disease was confirmed in a Washington state dairy cow on Dec. 23, 2003. That cow had originated in Alberta, Canada, where a case of BSE had been reported in May 2003. The U.S. case prompted USDA to launch a more aggressive surveillance program. The Department of Agriculture banned the slaughter of "downed" cattle for human consumption, as the infected animal was not able to walk when it was sent to slaughter.
For More Information Ask These ISU Experts
Dr. Nolan Hartwig, ISU veterinary diagnostic and production animal medicine professor and Extension veterinarian, can speak on issues related to food safety, how mad cow disease is spread, and how it is controlled and regulated. He may be reached at (515) 294-0711 (office) or email@example.com.

Bob Wisner, University Professor and Extension economist, can talk about how mad cow disease can affect grain markets. This time around, Wisner says he doesn't expect the confirmation of mad cow disease to significantly affect the markets. Rather, he said, dry weather in eastern and southeastern Iowa is the dominant influence in the grain markets now. Wisner can be reached at (515) 294-6310, or email@example.com.

The LinkedIn Of Coffee Machines Only Brews Coffee When Two People Are Waiting [Video]
The Coffee Connector is designed to help complete strangers start a conversation.
Conferences can be awkward – especially when you go alone. Forced to stand by yourself or attempt to network by breaking into others' conversations, it's not always easy. Now, the Coffee Connector by the Economic Development Board (EDB) Singapore aims to bring strangers together by brewing coffee only when two people introduce themselves to each other.
The device senses when two people are standing in front of it, waiting for coffee. It then asks the people to each introduce themselves by inputting their names. It is through this introduction that the brewing process can begin. As the machine begins to brew, exposed mechanics show the spectacle of coffee-making, creating a mesmerizing conversation starter.
Says EDB Singapore:
"Let's grab coffee" often means more than just coffee. It signifies the start to relationships, opportunities and business decisions. In Asia, Singapore often facilitates connections between companies and successful business ventures with a wealth of resources. Our machine, the Coffee Connector, is this symbolic idea brought to life.
The device debuted at The Economist Big Rethink Conference on March 13 in New York City and facilitated more than 200 successful connections.
See a video of the Coffee Connector in action in the video below:

Behold a time before helicopter parenting, when children roamed free, ate cake for dinner, and played with fire. A delightfully old-fashioned treat. I'm "biast" (pro): nothing
I'm "biast" (con): nothing
I have not read the source material
(what is this about? see my critic's minifesto)
Gather round, kiddies, and behold a time before videogames — before television, even — when children roamed free and were forced to relieve their boredom with nothing more than a couple of sticks and their imaginations… and they relished it. Gather round, parents, and marvel as a mother grants permission for her four children to go sailing and camping on their own recognizance, with no adult supervision at all, for days. Because, as that mother says, "I don't want them frightened of the world," so they have to learn how to deal with it on their own. Imagine that!
