Sports management major holds court
Elle Bunn ('11) capitalizes on classroom skills
By Katie Hudson ('10)
Sports and pageantry
Some may say Elle Bunn ('11) has a contradictory lifestyle. She lives for sports and is often taking in the intensity of her two favorites, hockey and football. But while she was working on her sports management major during her freshman year at JMU, she was also busy being crowned Miss Teen Virginia United States.
Bunn is a graduate of Kellam High School in Virginia Beach where she excelled in both sports and pageantry. Her two passions may seem polar opposites, but Bunn says that the two are much more similar than one may think. "Pageants really are mentally grinding, just like any sport," she explains. And with the swimsuit portion of the competition, the physicality is not far behind.
Bunn has spent 10 years of her life competing in pageants, all without a coach. Instead, her success in pageantry simply comes from learning from her own mistakes. After she was crowned Miss Teen Virginia United States, she then competed for Miss Teen United States where she received first runner-up and Miss Congeniality honors.
In spite of her impressive run, Bunn has decided to focus on her love for sports at JMU. "I've been in front of the camera before, and now it's my time to be more behind the scenes," she says.
Internship in athletics marketing
Not only will she be using her sports marketing major, but she will also use her business minor during an internship with the JMU athletics department the fall 2010 semester. Bunn will be working with Alyssa Gerlando ('07M), director of athletics marketing. Gerlando became familiar with Bunn's work ethic after having her as a student in Introduction to Marketing in the Sports Industry. Gerlando hired Bunn as the in-game hostess for JMU men's and women's basketball games. A first for JMU athletics, Bunn helps emcee contests and keeps the crowd revved up during halftime shows. "Given the uniqueness of her position as an in-game hostess, she also brings a high level of professionalism, poise, energy and the ability to interact with our fans," Gerlando says.
Bunn says her work as a hostess for the games has been a trial-and-error run, but Gerlando is satisfied with the positive feedback from fans. Bunn also helps JMU with recruitment of prospective JMU athletes. This summer, she worked as an intern at the Virginia Beach Convention Center in sports marketing. The Purple Pride running through her veins comes naturally. Bunn is a JMU legacy. Her father and mother — David A. ('83) and Wendell Smith Bunn ('83) — are JMU graduates, and her sister, April Bunn, is a 2005 alumna.

Each benchmark was run on a single sytem with 4 CPUs (or, rather, 4 cores in 2 sockets) -- there was no network involved. The difference (IMO) lies in the memory subsystems of the 2 architectures. Opterons have 1 memory controller per socket (on the CPU, shared by the 2 cores) attached to a dedicated bank of memory via a Hypertransport link (referred to from here on as HT). That socket is connected to the other CPU socket (and its HT connected memory bank) by HT. Xeons (still) have a single memory controller hub to which the CPUs communicate via the front side bus (FSB). That single hub has 2 channels to memory. So, yes, clock-for-clock (and for my usage) Xeon 51xxs are faster than Opterons. But, if your code hits memory *really hard* (which that heart model does), then the multiple paths to memory available to the Opterons allow them to scale better. This situation has existed for a long time on the Intel side. For P4 based Xeons it was crippling. The new Core based Xeons, however, don't suffer nearly as badly (due to their big cache, maybe?). E.g. the thermal simulations in that same file are pretty memory intensive themselves, and P4 based Xeons scaled *horribly* on them. But the 51xx Xeons still scale very well on them (which surprised me). -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

Tempe politician Ben Arredondo pleaded guilty to two felonies and agreed to resign his legislative seat Friday, becoming the latest in a string of Arizona politicians to face criminal and ethics charges.
Trembling as he addressed the court, Arredondo pleaded guilty in federal court to honest services fraud and mail fraud. Honest services fraud is a federal charge often used in cases related to public corruption. Each felony comes with a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years and $250,000 in fines. Restitution could be up to $50,000.
Previous coverage: State lawmaker indicted in FBI sting | Read the plea agreement
He was indicted May 16 on charges of bribery, mail fraud, lying and extortion stemming from an FBI sting that took place between February 2009, when Arredondo was a Tempe City Council member, and November 2010, shortly after he won the House seat. The longtime GOP politico switched parties prior to winning the legislative seat.
As part of the plea, Arredondo agreed to resign from the Legislature.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors now has about three weeks to appoint a Democratic replacement. The supervisors will make the appointment from among three nominees selected by precinct committee members from Legislative District 17, which Arredondo represented.
He will be sentenced Jan. 22. He declined to comment.
Arredondo is the second Democratic state lawmaker to plead guilty to federal felony charges this year and the third person in the state Capitol arena to be snared by an FBI corruption investigation.
Last week, former Republican House staffer John Mills was indicted on 15 counts of mail fraud after an investigation said he was using state Rep. Jim Weiers' campaign account as a sort of revolving fund for personal purchases, mortgage payments and stock purchases. He paid the money back, records show. He has pleaded not guilty.
In February, Rep. Richard Miranda abruptly resigned from the Legislature and in June pleaded guilty to felony wire fraud and attempted tax evasion for selling a Surprise building owned by a non-profit he ran and pocketing the money. Miranda was sentenced to a 27-month federal prison sentence and must pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Arredondo's 40-year legacy as an educator and public servant came to an end Friday in the courtroom where he was flanked by his attorneys and small group of relatives, including wife Ruth Ann.
The former high-school coach known for his blunt, tough-talking style has been publicly silent since the federal charges were filed. The native Arizonan's high-profile career spanned decades working for Valley schools and serving in city, county and state government posts.
A Tempe park and public school bear his family's last name as a tribute to his public service.
Arredondo worked 28 years for Mesa Public Schools and served on the Tempe Elementary School District board for a decade. In 1991, Arredondo was appointed to serve two years on the county Board of Supervisors when Ed Pastor resigned to run for Congress. Three years later, he won a seat on the Tempe City Council, becoming the second Hispanic elected to the council since the city was established in 1894.
Arredondo's ethics came into question in 2007, when allegations surfaced that he violated county policies by hiring friends and relatives to work for the Maricopa County Regional School District, where he served as deputy schools superintendent. He had retired a year earlier, a few months prior to district Superintendent Sandra Dowling's indictment on 25 felony charges.
Arredondo was never charged with wrongdoing as the district audit focused on Dowling, who eventually pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor in what she alleged was a politically motivated case.
In 2009, after serving 16 years on the Tempe council, Arredondo switched parties to run for the Legislature.
Less than a year after winning the District 17 House seat, Arredondo was named in the Fiesta Bowl scandal. He accepted tickets to sporting events from bowl executives after helping the bowl secure a $6.45million subsidy from Tempe in 2005.
County Attorney Bill Montgomery's investigation of the 31 elected officials who took gifts from the bowl concluded that charges were not warranted because the rules related to accepting gifts were unclear.
The federal investigation was viewed by some Valley residents as an overdue reckoning for Arredondo. But his longtime supporters hoped it was an opportunity to clear his name.
Tempe Councilman Joel Navarro said Friday that Arredondo has taken responsibility and that the wrongdoing should not negate the good he did for his constituents.
"If Ben feels comfortable that's what he felt was the right thing to do, then I applaud him for standing up for that," he said. "He still has done some great things for the community. It is a shame that (there's) an outcome like this, that it has come down to this."
As part of the plea, federal prosecutors agreed to dismiss all other charges against Arredondo.
And if the former lawmaker fulfills the terms of the agreement, federal prosecutors agreed in court that they will not prosecute Arredondo's wife for any crimes related to the U.S. Department of Justice's case against Arredondo.
Arredondo broke down in court, wiping his face and choking back emotion as he faced Judge Lawrence Anderson. Anderson said Arredondo accepted a bribe in exchange for services and defrauded the residents of Tempe and Arizona of their right to honest services.
Federal prosecutors in court said Arredondo accepted about $6,000 in tickets to charity events and college and professional sporting events. The tickets were bribes in exchange for giving undercover FBI agents posing as developers the inside track on a Tempe land deal, prosecutors said.
Federal prosecutor Monique Abrishami said that after Arredondo's election to the state House, he reassured the agents that he and an incoming Tempe council member would support their development project. ''
"'You guys will ask, you guys will have. I don't know how else to say it,'" Abrishami reported Arredondo had told the agents. " 'We'll be just fine because not only we're covered at the city, we're covered now at the state.'"
Information presented in court showed that, in 2001, Arredondo established the Arredondo Scholarship Fund for "average" students needing financial support and operated it through at least 2011. Prosecutors said Arredondo solicited donations for the fund, never telling donors that a portion of the money would go to scholarships for his own relatives.
Seven of Arredondo's relatives received a total of nearly $50,000 to attend Arizona educational institutions.
Rep. Ed Ableser, D-Tempe, said Arredondo is among a growing number of Arizona politicians who have violated their duty to uphold the law. Ableser successfully ran as a team with Arredondo for their district's two House seats, calling themselves the "A Team."
Voters have every right to be angry with Arizona politicians, Ableser said, "given the amount of unethical behaviors by lobbyist and legislators over the past year that have destroyed the public's trust in their elected officials."
Earlier this week, County Attorney Montgomery announced that a 14-month investigation had concluded that Republican Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, the state's top law-enforcement official, deliberately broke campaign-finance laws during his 2010 bid for office by coordinating with an independent expenditure committee. Horne has said he did nothing wrong.
Navarro said constituents have approached him at grocery stores and ball games asking about the worrisome state of Tempe and Arizona politics.
"It seems like politics in every form has been at the forefront of the community's mind," he said. "Ever since this whole thing with the state and the Fiesta Bowl outbreak, we've been taking a hard look at whether we are doing everything we can."
Last week's federal indictment of Mills, the GOP aide charged with using campaign donations to help pay for various mortgages and investments, could signal that the FBI investigation of Arredondo may still extend to more Valley politicians.
Legal experts have said that the delay in the time between investigating and charging Arredondo indicates that the FBI may be investigating others.
Following Arredondo's indictment, Kenneth Fields, a retired Maricopa County Superior Court judge, told The Republic that in his experience as a federal prosecutor, it is uncommon for federal officials to investigate issues such as Arredondo's crimes as a councilman unless there is a wider scope of wrongdoing suspected.
He said prosecutors may see Arredondo as the "low-hanging fruit" that they hope to turn as a witness against bigger players.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Monday celebrated the successful test of its new Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system. The Arrow 3 is being jointly developed with the American Defense Department, and US officials were said to be shocked that the Israeli-built system lodged a perfect score on its very first test.
The Arrow 3 is capable of reaching the upper atmosphere and intercepting long-range ballistic missiles long before they have a chance to strike Israel. It is primarily seen as a shield against an Iranian missile threat.
While the existing Arrow anti-missile system is a highly praised and effective defense, the Arrow 3 will enable Israel to destroy non-conventional enemy warhead at such an altitude that any biological, chemical or nuclear material would disintegrate safely before reaching earth.
The Arrow 3 "demonstrates the State of Israel's high technological capability, the State of Israel's high defense capability … and our cooperation with the US," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stressed that "Israel's hand is always extended in peace, but we are also always prepared for other possibilities."
Israeli media noted that the Arrow 3 will not be fully operations for another three years.

Paidion wrote; 'Most Greek words have one basic meaning, and none other should be used unless absolutely necessary'
So, you are saying; most Greek words have one basic meaning, and no other 'English' word should be used?
Either way, this does not make sense.
Is there one Greek word for every English word?
What we were talking about is 'translations'. Which English words (Spanish, French, Chinese, whatever) best describe (or translate) the intended speech (meaning) is what we are after. There is no 'sure' word for word way to translate one language into another, if they are different words, because they are basically - 'different' words.
Also, most 'meanings' can have many basic words.
I can say; I am happy, I am well pleased, I am delighted, I am elated, I am cheerful, I have joy, and still mean basically the same thing.
Also most words have many synonyms (and so also do Greek words).

While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger sports car they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, marketing and advertising group prepared the world for the intro of a car they called the Panther.
All through the summer season of 1965 virtually every aspect of the car's design and advancement, from preliminary design sketches to clay models, was photographed and thoroughly recorded. Chevy used the assets to produce a 30 -minute film The Camaro for sale in Cascade Locks OR , which was later on shown on TELEVISION and in cinema. They also introduced ladies's clothing called the Camaro Collection as well as a Camaro roadway race video game.
Buy Classic Chevrolet Camaros
In November, Chevy sales executives and creative individuals previewed prototype designs at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's venerable ad agency, right away started work on catalogs, direct mail and sales promotion materials, together with print, outside and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New York Auto Show Press Conference, Chevrolet sales executives confessed no name had actually been chosen for the brand-new car, but did announce that prices of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Cascade Locks OR design will be in the Corvair-Chevy II variety.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later trigger the Pontiac variation, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its short lifetime, the F-car had actually been called by lots of names consisting of Wildcat, Chaparral, Leader and Nova. It's likewise rumored that Chevy considered using the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which evolved into GeMini and finally Gemini. However, GM's upper management vetoed the idea, fearing the vehicle might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet finally proposed the name Camaro and upper management quickly agreed. Although the name has no genuine significance, GM researchers supposedly discovered the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "pal" or "buddy." It's reported that Ford Motor Business researchers likewise found other meanings, consisting of "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Since a number or pre-launch materials had currently been released utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's the majority of pushing challenge was to now rename their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Cascade Locks OR by looking for classic car dealers.
The price tag of $2,466 for a Camaro base coupe and $2,704 for a base convertible was fully competitive with Ford's prices of their 1967 Mustang designs which was $2,461 for the basic coupe, $2,692 for a standard fastback and $2,898 for a basic convertible.Taking a page from Mustang's success in earning added benefit from options and devices, the Camaro could be ordered with almost 80 factory options and 40 dealer devices.
Buyers might also choice approximately a bigger 250-inch version of the basic straight six engine, an option of 327-cubic-inch small-block V8s fed by either a two-barrel or a four-barrel carburetor and two versions of the 396-cubic-inch big-block V8. In order to keep the new Camaro from taking sales far from the Corvette, a business order forbade equipping it with engines larger than 400 cid. Transmission choices consisted of a four-speed manual, a two-speed "Powerglide" and in late 1967 the new three-speed "Turbo Hydra-Matic 350".

A year later, the Red Sox trade for another closer, Joel Hanrahan
It has become somewhat of a holiday tradition for the Red Sox, trading players viewed as spare parts to a budget-conscious team and getting an All-Star closer in return.
The well-intentioned idea failed miserably last season. Andrew Bailey was injured in spring training and pitched in just 19 games for the Sox while Josh Reddick became a standout for Oakland, belting 32 home runs and winning a Gold Glove.
Undeterred, the Sox are trying the same formula again. Just shy of a year since they traded for Bailey, the Sox completed a six-player trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday, obtaining closer Joel Hanrahan and infielder Brock Holt for righthanded reliever Mark Melancon and three prospects.
Before the trade was announced, Sox manager John Farrell contacted Bailey and Hanrahan and informed them that Hanrahan would go into spring training as the closer. Bailey will be a set-up man, assuming he is not traded.
Drama is not on the agenda for spring training.
"It was a great conversation, obviously,'' Hanrahan said. "[Farrell] told me they're excited for me, to have me there. They look forward to having me at the end of the bullpen here, closing for them.
"I'm just excited for that opportunity. I wasn't sure what the role was going to be because there's obviously guys that have closed before and had great success closing as well.''
Farrell said the Sox weren't necessarily looking for a closer when the offseason started. But they couldn't pass on the idea of strengthening their bullpen.
"This makes us a better team,'' Farrell said. "Joel will come in and join a strong group. This is an All-Star closer, a pitcher with a high conversion rate for saves.''
Hanrahan looks the part of a closer at 6 feet 4 inches and 250 pounds. He has the stuff, too. He averaged 95.8 miles per hour with his fastball last season, a slight drop from 2011. He also has what scouts describe as a "wipeout'' slider, a pitch that dives out of the strike zone and produces plenty of bad swings.
Hanrahan had a dominant 2011, picking up 40 saves in 44 chances and posting a 1.83 ERA. He struck out 61 in 68⅔ innings and walked only 16.
His statistics shifted a bit last season. Hanrahan walked 36 over 59⅔ innings and allowed eight home runs, which led to a 2.72 ERA. He had a poor September, allowing five earned runs over nine innings and walking 10 as the Pirates fell out of contention.
"I had some issues with my legs last year,'' Hanrahan said. "I hurt my hamstring early on in the year and had a sore ankle for a while that went under the wraps. I was wearing a tight ankle brace for a couple of weeks that kind of restricted my mechanics. I don't think that walks are going to be a concern.''
With general manager Ben Cherington traveling, assistant GM Brian O'Halloran spoke about the deal. The Sox, he said, are convinced that Hanrahan's control issues can be cured.
"We looked at that very closely,'' said O'Halloran. "We think that there are some reasons that we saw the uptick in walks. We're going to talk to Joel, and [Farrell] has already started that process. It's not something that we're concerned about long-term. We believe that we're going to get the guy that has been a great closer for two years.''
Farrell felt that Hanrahan used his third pitch, a cutter, too often. He also lacked precision in non-save situations, walking 16 in 22 innings.
"There's more to command when you add a different pitch,'' Farrell said. "It's important for any pitcher to rely on their strengths.''
Bailey allowed 12 earned runs on 21 hits and 8 walks in 15⅓ innings last season and blew three saves in nine chances. He did not respond to requests for comment on his new role. But Farrell said Bailey understood why the Sox made the trade.
"He was professional,'' said Farrell. "He's confident in himself and confident he'll be able to pitch to the level he did in 2011 and is very much a team guy. He feels like he'll regain that form needed for us to get better and deeper.''
The Red Sox potentially have a strong, versatile bullpen, having added Hanrahan and righthander Koji Uehara to a group that included Bailey, Junichi Tazawa, Alfredo Aceves, Craig Breslow, Franklin Morales, and Andrew Miller. The Sox also hope Daniel Bard can rebound after a disastrous 2012 season.
"We have created depth that will allow us to rest the closer when needed,'' Farrell said. "If they pitch up to their capability, it's a strong group.''
The Sox took notice of Hanrahan during an interleague series in Pittsburgh in 2011. In two saves against the Sox, Hanrahan threw 25 of his 35 pitches for strikes before sellout crowds.
His four-pitch strikeout of Adrian Gonzalez with a runner on second base to preserve a 6-4 victory June 25 was a career highlight for Hanrahan.
"When people look back at me as a Pirate, that's one that stands out the most to them,'' he said. "It was a fun weekend.''
Hanrahan has never pitched in Fenway Park or even visited the ballpark. But his wife, Kim, grew up a Red Sox fan in the Brockton area and has family in the area.
"It's a change of pace from the NL Central, but I think it's going to be great,'' Hanrahan said.
Hanrahan will be a free agent after the 2013 season. He is eligible for arbitration and in line to land a one-year contract worth roughly $7 million.
The Red Sox also traded infielder Ivan De Jesus Jr., righthander Stolmy Pimentel, and first baseman/outfielder Jerry Sands to the Pirates.

If you're looking for some fun Halloween decorations for your apartment, but don't want to spend a lot of money, these DIY Halloween wreaths are a perfect solution. Learn how easy it is to make a Bone, a Pumpkin and even a creepy Snake Halloween wreath with these step-by-step instructions and pictures.
DIY Halloween Wreath: Bone Halloween Wreath
What you need
- Foam or plastic skeleton or a bag of bones
- Styrofoam glue
- Ribbon
If you purchased your halloween skeleton already assembled, the first step will be to disassemble it. Lay out the bones to get a feel for the shapes and sizes of each bone. If you don't want to take the time to disassemble a skeleton, you can purchase a bag of bones that will be ready to go right out of the bag. Dry stack the skeleton bones in a circle to get an idea of how they will fit together and form a wreath (the flatter pieces such as the hips and hands make a good base, with other bones on top). If you want the skull to greet your guests, arrange it prominently at the top of the circle.
Begin with one bone and start gluing them together where they touch another bone until all the bones are secure in a circle. Allow the glue to dry completely before attaching a ribbon to the back of the bones and then hang it on your door. If you choose, you can embellish your skeleton wreath with fake bugs, jewels, and some rope. In the picture above, we left the ribbon off to make the skeleton appear a little less friendly (as if the bugs and bones greeting your guests weren't un-friendly enough).
DIY Ribbon Halloween Wreath
What you need
- (1) 14″ Styrofoam wreath.
- Multiple types of ribbon, ricrac, and trim that are orange, black, and white. Include polka-dots, stripes, argyle, and solid color designs.
- Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks.
Begin by securing one end of a ribbon to the back of the Styrofoam wreath with the hot glue gun. Wrap the ribbon around the wreath as many times as you like, securing it periodically with the glue. Continue this process with all the ribbons, ricrac, and trims that you have, until the entire Styrofoam wreath is covered and all the edges are secured in the back with hot glue. Tie a big black bow and secure it on the front bottom portion of the Halloween wreath.
Snake Halloween Wreath
What you need
- Grapevine wreath
- (1) can dark grey or black spray paint
- Several plastic snakes, various sizes
- Hot glue
- Ribbon
With your wreath laying on a flat surface, position your snakes onto the wreath. Once you have them in place, hot glue them to the wreath. Spray paint the entire Halloween wreath and the snakes with gray paint so they all blend together (if your snakes have red tongues, you can tape them up when you paint so they remain red). Attach a ribbon to the back of your Snake Halloween Wreath and hang it on the door. We purchased snakes that were already a creepy grey tone so we chose not to paint the entire wreath & snakes grey – you can personalize it however you like.
Trick-Or-Treat Candy Halloween Wreath
What you need
- Styrofoam wreath
- 2 lbs orange and black Halloween candy
- Small stick pins (or glue if you prefer)
- Orange or black 2″ wide ribbon
If you've got kids or you just want a kid-friendly Halloween house, a trick-or-treat Halloween wreath made out of candy would be a great addition to your Halloween decorations. Lay the Styrofoam wreath onto a flat surface. Secure the candy to the wreath so that the candy is grouped tightly together, covering the entire wreath. You can either push small stick pins through the ends of the wrappers to secure the candy to the Halloween wreath or you can glue them on. Tie an orange or black 2″ wide ribbon on the top of the Halloween wreath to create a wreath hanger.
Pumpkin Halloween Wreath
What you need
- An 18″ grapevine wreath
- (15 or so) artificial mini pumpkins (or real ones if you are going to throw it out after Halloween)
- Plastic spiders
- Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- Plastic spiders
- Ribbon
This Halloween wreath can be made with real mini pumpkins, but you will have to make a new one every year because they will begin to decay after a few weeks.
Begin by laying the mini pumpkins on the wreath to get an idea of where each pumpkin will fit the best. After the pumpkins are laid out, glue each one down until there is a layer of pumpkins along the entire front of the Halloween wreath. Glue down plastic spiders intermittently on the pumpkins. Glue a ribbon onto the back of the Pumpkin Halloween Wreath and attach it to the door.

December 2010
9 December 2010
Pixie was the first Rainbow Lorikeet to be born at Australia Zoo in 2010, from parents Starburst and Pez. With her beautiful nature, she has quickly become one of the favourites for getting scratches and cuddles from all the Bird Show keepers.
Once Pixie was fully fledged and showed us she was ready to fly, she was moved to the Crocoseum aviary where she joined our current performing lorikeet flock and began her free flight training. Within a couple of weeks Pixie was proving to everyone that she was not just a pretty face, completing long fist to fist flights and executing hatch releases out of her aviary.
Just recently, we started to introduce Pixie to flying outside the Crocoseum arena. She is doing great, although occasionally she gets a little too excited, ending up on the arm of one of the other Zoo staff members.
Pixie has proven to be a quick learner and will be the thirteenth member of the lorikeet team. Our lorikeets steal the show on a regular basis with their outgoing antics and are always out to impress the crowd with their acrobatic displays.
We have no doubt Pixie will be a star and speeding around the Crocoseum very soon.
Come on down to Australia Zoo and see our beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets race around the Crocoseum in the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Show!

The stock market mostly recovered from an afternoon slump to end with slight losses.
In minutes from their latest meeting released Wednesday afternoon, Federal Reserve officials said they saw a variety of threats to the U.S. economy, including a slowdown in China and a looming budget crunch in Washington. The Fed also didn't signal that new steps to stimulate the economy were on the way.
Stock investors took the news badly at first, but by the end of the day were taking it in stride. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped as many as 118 points shortly after the 2 p.m. release of the Fed's minutes. Thanks to a recovery in the last hour it was down just 48 points at the closing bell, not much different from where it was earlier.
Fed officials said the economy could struggle if Congress fails to avert tax hikes and across-the-board spending cuts scheduled for the end of the year. They also worried that Europe's debt crisis and China's slower growth would weigh on the US.
But it was what the Fed didn't say that really tripped the stock market up, said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA. He said many traders had hoped to see evidence that the Fed was prepared to pull the trigger on a new bond-buying effort to prod the economy forward.
"They didn't get what they wanted to see," Ricchiuto said.
The Dow closed at 12,604.53, down 48.59 points. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 0.02 of a point to 1,341.45. The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index lost 14.35 points to 2,887.98.
It was the fifth straight day of losses for both the Dow and S&P. That's the worst stretch for both since a six-day losing streak that ran through May 18. With Europe still working out the details of a bailout for Spanish banks and the U.S. economy still sluggish, there's little for investors to buy stocks.
"The bottom line is that there aren't a lot of investors willing to put money into this market," said Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. "There's not much to get excited about."
The current batch of U.S. corporate earnings, which started to come in this week, isn't expected to help the stock market. Financial analysts forecast that companies in the S&P 500 will report a 2 percent earnings drop in the April-through-June period compared with the year before, according to the research firm S&P Capital IQ. That would be the first fall in profits since the summer quarter of 2009.
Chevron and other energy stocks rose, following oil prices higher. The price of crude oil jumped $1.90, to $85.81 a barrel, after the government said U.S. crude supplies fell for a second week in a row, a sign that demand for energy may be increasing.
Energy stocks led the 10 industry groups within the S&P 500 index, rising 1.4 percent. Chevron gained 97 cents to $104.85 and Exxon Mobil gained $1.27 to $84.38.
In Europe, Spain's borrowing costs fell after the country imposed new sales tax hikes and spending cuts in a bid to slash nearly $80 billion from its budget over the next two and a half years. High borrowing rates and 25 percent unemployment are squeezing Spain's economy.
Europe's debt crisis has led banks and investment funds from around the world to shift their money into Treasurys. High demand for Treasurys has kept U.S. government borrowing rates low.
The Treasury auctioned 10-year notes at a record low interest rate Wednesday afternoon, 1.46 percent.
Among other stocks making bigger moves than the overall market:
— HHGregg plunged 36 percent. The appliance and electronics retailer said after the market closed Tuesday that weak sales will cause its quarterly loss to widen. The company also cut its full-year earnings outlook. Analysts at SunTrust and Stifel Nicolaus downgraded the company's shares. The company's stock lost $4.20 to $7.34.
— AMC Networks jumped 2 percent. A stock analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group said AMC, whose shows include "Mad Men," and "The Walking Dead," could reach a settlement with Dish Network in their dispute over fees by mid-October. Dish replaced AMC's channels on July 1, arguing that they were too expensive. AMC's stock gained 86 cents to $40.73. Dish fell 3 percent, or 95 cents, to $26.80.
— Mead Johnson Nutrition surged 4 percent after a Chinese agency apologized for what it said were false accusations that the company's baby formula contained a possibly dangerous ingredient. The accusations helped knock the company's stock down 3 percent on Tuesday. Mead Johnson jumped $2.99 to $78.28.

Death to virtual currency! After seven years of Microsoft Points, the Xbox company is finally going to phase out its virtual currency in favor of regular dollar prices for downloadable games, Xbox Avatar items, movies, and Xbox Music on its Xbox Live network. The shift is coming sooner rather than later, as beta versions of the new Windows 8 indicate that when that operating system releases on Oct. 26, it will brush Microsoft Points away from all Microsoft platforms. Microsoft has yet to comment on the change, but images posted by The Verge seem to confirm the change.
Windows 8 has been accused of many consumer crimes ahead of its release, so it's interesting that a platform so widely criticized is also bringing with it a change long asked for by users. The Microsoft Points virtual currency structure equates $1 with 80 points. In someone wants to rent a movie through Xbox Live that costs 320 points, they're forced to buy a $5 package of 400 points, leaving them with 80 left over. Almost nothing on the service can be purchased for that amount, meaning that Microsoft got you to give them an extra dollar for nothing at all.
This isn't an altruistic turn for Microsoft, as consumers likely wouldn't tolerate Microsoft Points for much longer, at least for broad entertainment purchases. Its competitors have already dropped virtual currencies—Nintendo finally abandoned the similar Wii/DSi Points currency for actual money when it opened the eShop. Apple's influence can't be understated either. Microsoft has been forced to emulate Apple as much as possible in the construction of Windows 8, and that includes mimicking the iTunes App Store's pricing structure. Since Windows and Xbox won't be mutually exclusive environments once the Xbox 720 comes out, naturally Xbox Live had to change as well.
The change isn't much of a surprise either, as the company's hinted that Microsoft Points would be phased out all year. Rumors first emerged in January that Microsoft Points would be phased out to give Microsoft parity with Apple and Google in the mobile market place. In August, a number of Xbox Avatar popped up on Xbox Live with real money prices on them rather than point prices. Microsoft claimed it was a mistake at the time. "A few Avatar items appeared with an option to purchase with local currency, instead of Microsoft Points, said a company spokesman, "The display error doesn't signal a change in payment options, but rather an error in how offers were configured in our services which resulted in an inconsistent experience."

How will the free agency market affect the draft? It seems to me our biggest needs are an interior pass rusher, DE and WR. Does someone have a guess what our cap room will look like? Will we have the cap room to make some big moves in the free agency market? Can we fill any of those needs with free agents? Do we have the room to sign one of the big time WRs in FA? For WR mike wallace, greg jennings and dwayne bow are available. Are any of the DTs or DEs that are available guys that could end up in seattle and help this defense get over the pass rush hump?
It would be really nice to fill one of these needs in FA so we can focus on the others in the draft.
