KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs thought they knew a thing or two about handling adversity after losing three straight games a few weeks back. After Sunday's 23-7 defeat to Indianapolis Sunday, they learned an even more humbling lesson about life as a contender in the NFL. It doesn't really matter how a team starts in this league. The only real measure of a squad's championship pedigree is how much it can endure on the quest for a potential title.
The Chiefs' loss to the Colts is yet one more example of this undeniable fact.
Kansas City had everything going in its favor: major momentum from recent blowout wins over Washington and Oakland; a dome team -- an opponent that had been shockingly inconsistent on the road -- playing in frigid weather; an outside shot at the AFC West title and a wild-card playoff spot already in the bag. When it was over, the Chiefs had every reason to question where their season is heading. They hadn't produced one lousy performance in a season that started with a nine-game win streak, not until the Colts slapped them around in their own backyard.
Kansas City scored on its first possession and then imploded the rest of the game. They couldn't throw or run with any continuity on offense. They couldn't tackle consistently or frustrate Colts quarterback Andrew Luck on defense. They also reminded people that they've beaten only two playoff-caliber teams -- Dallas and Philadelphia -- all season.
"What are we going to do when we face other powerhouses?" asked defensive back Dunta Robinson. "We are a much better team than we showed today, but we need to determine what type of team we are going to be."
If there is any solace for the 11-4 Chiefs, they are not the only AFC playoff team that will have to ask itself such questions in the coming weeks. This postseason will be filled with contenders battling their own unique challenges, with none being immune to the types of frustrating afternoons Kansas City just endured. It's a reality of life in the NFL these days. It's not about what you've done. It's about what you've been through during the first four months of the season.
Remember, the Baltimore Ravens won last year's Super Bowl after being plagued by a three-game losing streak and serious injuries to defensive standouts such as Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Lardarius Webb. The New York Giants claimed the championship in 2011 despite a season that saw them lose five of six games at one point. Let's also not forget the 2010 Green Bay Packers. They claimed that season's Lombardi trophy despite placing 15 players on injured reserve. No team in recent memory has done so much after suffering so frequently.

Exclusive: Angelina Jolie Snubs Stacy Keibler AGAIN at the Oscars!
Talk about a catfight! Wetpaint Entertainment has exclusively learned that Brad Pitt's better half, Angelina Jolie, and George Clooney's girlfriend, former pro-wrestler DWTS star Stacy Keibler, were at it again last night.
Recently, it was reported that Angelina "went out of her way to ignore" Stacy when the two couples flew together on a private plane bound for the Palm Springs International Film Fest. And it looks like relations between the two beauties haven't thawed since.
"Angelina completely snubbed Stacy at the Oscars," an eyewitness tells Wetpaint Entertainment. "Once again, she just didn't acknowledge her."
"During a break in the telecast, Brad and Angie both got up to stretch and mingle. Brad walked over to talk to George and it looked like Angelina had started to go with him — but as soon as she saw Stacy, she turned and actually walked in the other direction. The two women did not speak."
"Stacy is fuming," says an insider. "She doesn't think she deserves this kind of treatment. There's no reason for it."
However, a source close to Stacy denies a rift. "The two women get along just fine. They think these rumors are ridiculous."
Up next for Stacy: a European vacation with her man. Says the insider: "She's told people that George is flying them out to Italy the day after the Oscars for a little rest and relaxation."

The Crypto-Capers Review by Renee Hand: Read March 5, 2011 Book Review here.
Heal your heart and connect with your departed loved one.
by Jim Johans
"Believe" inspires us to open our hearts to healing the pain and emptiness left by our
departed loved ones. In her simple tale of light and love, Pattie Welek Hall brings us
face-to-face with our own doubts and fears, and helps us rise above with faith and hope.
The reader is wrapped in God's embrace by her words of soul experience. Anyone who
has lost a child must read this story, and be reborn with the peace and spiritual radiance
emanating from these pages. Our loved ones are always with us–they will light the way– and you will believe!
"Believe" offers love, wisdom and hope.
by Linda Grimm
Dear Pattie Welek Hall, I received your book last week – it is so sweet – so lovely and tender – and your loving heart just sings through the words. I am especially amazed by your original watercolors. They are exquisite. Thank you so much for creating such an important work. I know it will make its way into the lives of so many who need to experience its love and wisdom and hope.
A Very Special Story.
by Anne Drace Hess
Believe is a simple, poignant conversation between a child and an adult about a very difficult subject — death. But this simple story has a level of depth and universal appeal that transcends age. From beginning to end, it holds you in a warm and comforting embrace, surrounding you with peace, love and acceptance. Its illustrations reflect the beauty of this very special story.
Touching Tribute.
by G. S.
"Believe" is a touching tribute to Hall's son who was called to heaven well before his time. Charmingly illustrated, the book shows the power of hope and boundless love of a mother.
Walking Away with HOPE in One's Soul
by Mary McBride
BELIEVE is without question a "tender" read. It will pull on one's heartstrings with every turn of the page. The reader will not only feel the mother's pain and sorrow at having lost her child, but also the magnitude of her LOVE for him. Sweet BELIEVE will inspire HOPE in all who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
Believe in Believe
by Skye
Believe is the kind of story that enters your heart and soul. Within its apparently simple text resonates truth and light. It is inspirational, in the true sense of the word, and I want to thank author Pattie Welek Hall for taking her own pain from her child's loss and weaving it into this spiritual story that will help others through their own losses. Blessings to you!
by Trudy Harris
I re-read Believe again this week and just love it. It is written from your heart. You speak to the pain of losing your son with such tenderness, explaining to the little one, just how it compares to the way he feels when someone or something of his, goes away. Young mothers and fathers need to have this book on hand to ease the sadness that their children feel in times of any loss. Blessings.

Rumours of a Mini SUV have been knocking around for, ooh, years now. It may be anathema to some, but if you had any doubt that a 4x4 Mini was in the pipeline, here's proof - the Mini Crossover Concept set to debut in Paris early next month.
Before we take a look around the standard concept trickery, here's the big news: This is going to reach production. Definitely.
OK, some of the glitzier bits might not make it, but - like it or not - a four-door, four-wheel drive Mini is happening.
'Mini', however, is a bit of an ambitious claim. At over four metres in length - more Focus size than Fiesta - and 1.6 metres high, the Crossover Concept ain't small.
Despite the size, though, it's a strict four-seater - the two rear chairs are separated by a centre rail to which, Mini asserts, you can attach 'cupholders, storage units and entertainment consoles'.
Or, bizarrely, a bespoke set of dishes and cups, created by German potters Porzellan Manufaktur exclusively for the Concept Crossover. We predict breakage issues.
Equally strange is the Crossover's door arrangement, which puts the mildly odd single suicide approach from the Clubman to shame.
Three of the doors open in the normal fashion, but the rear drivers-side door is a Peugeot 1007-style sliding effort.
There's also a side-hinged boot featuring a retractable window, and a folding roof which extends the length of the car. Simple, eh?
Unusually, there's no mention of what powertrain the Crossover will use, or how the four-wheel drive system might work. Efficient diesels would seem likely, but given Mini's penchant for the wacky (sorry, the 'wacky') it could well be fuelled by whimsy and bonhomie.
No doubt all will become clear in Paris.

Full text not available from this repository.
We describe a new watermarking system based on the principles of informed coding and informed embedding. This system is capable of embedding 1380 bits of information in images with dimensions 240 x 368 pixels. Experiments on 2000 images indicate the watermarks are robust to significant valumetric distortions, including additive noise, low-pass filtering, changes in contrast, and lossy compression. Our system encodes watermark messages with a modified trellis code in which a given message may be represented by a variety of different signals, with the embedded signal selected according to the cover image. The signal is embedded by an iterative method that seeks to ensure the message will not be confused with other messages, even after addition of noise. Fidelity is improved by the incorporation of perceptual shaping into the embedding process. We show that each of these three components improves performance substantially.

Hummingbirds – Nature's Helicopters
If you've never seen a hummingbird in person – they truly are one of nature's most amazing creatures. Their speed, ability to hover, fly backwards, and agility are second to none. They beat their wings between 12 and 90 times per second and can fly at speeds exceeding 30 mph. Not only are hummingbirds attracted to certain flowers and feeders filled with sugar water, these birds feed on small insects, helping to keep the mosquito and gnat populations in check. Naked Mountain is fortunate enough to be home to an often frequented hummingbird feeder where our visitors are frequently treated to views of many different types of these special birds.
Recently, we had a visitor, and amateur photographer, Kalynna Thompson, snap a wonderful photo of a hummingbird mid-flight. For any of you who have attempted to take a photo of a hummingbird – you'll understand how difficult a shot like this can be. Thanks, Kalynna, for sharing this photo with us! I've also included a few shots I took myself – not quite as nice though.
What's a winery blog about hummingbirds without a mention of wines? Why not come out and visit the winery and enjoy a picnic and some of our wonderful "summer sippers" (2010 Unoaked Chardonnay, 2010 Rosé, or 2010 Riesling) while enjoying our views and maybe even sighting a hummingbird or two? We also just released our 2008 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay on our reserve list! We look forward to seeing you out on the mountain – and don't forget – DRINK NAKED!!

Will Amanda Murphy victory in Pasco spell a turn around for Dems in the Florida House?
Janelle Irwin
Last Call Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Tags: Christian Ulvert, Florida Democrats, Amanda Murphy
This week, Democrat Amanda Murphy picked up the Pasco County Florida House seat that was vacated by Republican Mike Fasano after he was appointed to tax collector by Governor Rick Scott. Fasano, in perhaps what was Murphys final push to victory, endorsed her over her Republican opponent Bill Gunter. Democrats from all over the Tampa Bay area and some from even further around the state pulled together in a grassroots effort to help Murphy claim the seat. Her win brings the Dems up to 45 seats while the GOP still holds 75.
Christian Ulvert, political director for the Florida Democratic Party is here to discuss whether the Democratic grab of Fasano's red seat could represent a turn around in Tallahassee for Democrats.comments powered by Disqus

1.1 Backgrounds of the Study
Why does somebody do something? Why do people go to work? Why do we go to college? There are many reasons why we do such things. Somebody does something because he/she wants something to be done, reached, and else. People go to work because they want to earn money, to spend their times, to increase their societal status, and else. We go to school because we need knowledge, or maybe we just want to do our obligation to fulfill our education status. The reasons here can be said as goals. All of those examples make us learn that there must be something drives them to do something besides the goals we have said above, it is a motivation.
For more details about motivation, we can do one thing that is asking any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing, what motivate him/her, and very likely, the answer will be 'goals'. Goal setting is extremely important to motivation and success. So, what motivate you? Just like what we have talked above, why are you in college? If you are in college because that is what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself.
Someone will have a higher motivation if he is offered by a reward. For example, a student will have a higher motivation to study when his father promises to give him a car if he graduates soon. However, an article found in
http://www.princeton.edu.rbenobou/RES2003.pdf said that motivation is something which comes from within really makes the difference. Further the article says that certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you do not have motivation, you would get far from reaching your success.

Prediction of ObamaCare becomes reality
It's news about health insurance costs that many people don't want to hear but, according to some, it's not really a surprise.
It's been described as "utterly sexist," "demeaning to women," and "tasteless." That isn't reaction to a movie, a music video, or television show - it's reaction to a political ad encouraging Americans to vote for the president of the United States.
In an Obama campaign web ad released Thursday, 26-year-old actress Lena Dunham opens with "Your first time shouldn't be with just anybody. You wanna do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy with ... someone who really cares about and understands women."
Considering the typical story line of Dunham's HBO raunchy series Girls, it's no wonder viewers might think she is talking about a girl losing her virginity - when, in fact, she is talking about voting for the first time.
Conservative reaction to the ad has been strong.
Penny Nance, CEO and president of Concerned Women for America: "The misogynistic Obama Campaign has released an obnoxious, double-entendre of a web ad, featuring a woman who looks like an overly immature, tattooed twelve-year-old. Once again, Obama is reducing women to - do we have to say it again? - 'lady parts.' .... Obama's good 'ol boys may have their minds in the gutter, but our minds are on our pocketbooks."
Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council: "I guess we shouldn't be surprised by an administration that has openly promoted promiscuity, abortion on demand, and the redefinition of marriage." Adds Perkins: "I [also] find it disturbing that President Obama would follow Vladimir Putin's lead and release an ad that only further coarsens the public discourse."
Ben Shapiro of Breitbart.com: "It's an astoundingly tasteless ad .... Really. Yes, she just compared sex with voting. And she mocked virgins .... So she chose to do it for the first time with Barack Obama, since he 'cares about and understands women.' In fact, he understands them so well that he exploits them for insane commercials comparing losing your virginity with voting .... But at least Dunham got one thing right. The folks who vote for Barack Obama want voting without consequences."
Gary Bauer, president of American Values: "So the president now wants to seduce young women by asking them to 'do it' - vote - for the first time with him. I hope parents will talk to the daughters and tell them about the sweet-talking men who promise girls the world in order to have their way with them, only to abandon them the next morning, when the girls realize that the empty promises were just part of the seduction."
Lila Rose of the pro-life group Live Action: "It is deeply disturbing that a father of two young girls could approve such a demeaning ad. [It] is a desperate and an offensive stereotype. Again, his campaign reduces women and their concern of political issues to sex and birth control."
Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek: "How low will they go? The Obama people apparently just can't keep their minds off of lady parts," remarked pro-life blogger Jill Stanek. "These people are just plain sex-obsessed. This is an ad from the President of the United States?"
Paul Conway, president of Generation Opportunity: "Campaigns and their messages reflect great insight into the character and judgment of the candidate they represent - and this cynical ad smacks of pure condescension toward women."
It's news about health insurance costs that many people don't want to hear but, according to some, it's not really a surprise.

Volkswagen Cabrio Shifting/Drivability Issues Due to Throttle Body Failure
Volkswagen Cabrio Problem

Milosmom, 1997 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2.0L 4 Cylinder, 141,000 miRookie
I bought my Cab 7 years ago. I'm from California, but when I moved to Maryland a few years ago, it seems that's when all my problems started. The last big expense was the new transmission. I thought that would have solved all the problems. But, after having the car in the garage all winter I went to drive it and it would not start. Had it towed to a mechanic, who got it started, but now I have other issues. It runs very rough and sluggish. Once I get it going faster, it seems to do a lot better. I was told this may be the throttle cable. Maybe it just needs to be cleaned? I hope this isn't going to cost a whole lot of money. I've put too much money into this car the last few years, and I know I can't get what I believe it's worth if I sell it. Maybe the throttle body just needs be cleaned and not replaced!!!??? I'm so frustrated because I can't get the car to pass emissions until this is repaired. I used to love my cute little car...I don't know what to do at this point. Any suggestions of what could be causing the rough idle? Also the engine light flashes on and off. Thanks for any help!

Joe Nathan has turned some of his Texas Rangers teammates into Stony Brook fans. The Rangers closer is the only major leaguer from College World Series-bound Stony Brook, a Long Island university about 50 miles east of New York City. Nathan got to watch the Seawolves beat LSU on Sunday night while on a team flight home from San Francisco. Nathan said Monday it was a pleasure and a ''pretty cool experience'' to be able to watch that game with the Rangers also rooting for his alma mater that plays its home games on Joe Nathan Field. A shortstop in college, Nathan figures some of his current teammates didn't even know about the Seawolves a couple of days ago. But he says they were flashing the ''O'' hand signal like the Stony Brook players did to signify making it to Omaha.

11 June 2013, Bonn, Germany. Young people are increasingly aware of the challenges and opportunities that the necessary transition to low carbon growth entails, and many are joining the global dialogue on solutions, getting involved and taking action. In order to highlight concrete work young people do to incite their governments and the international community to scale up action on climate change and raise ambition towards a post-2020 climate change regime, UN CC:Learn participated in the development of the publication Youth in Action on Climate Change: Inspiration from around the World, a collaborative effort of the United Nations Joint Framework Initiative on Children, Youth and Climate Change aiming at highlighting concrete activities young people are leading around the world. The publication was launched at a Bonn Climate Change Conference side event organized by the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on 11 June 2013.
"Education is the fundamental entry point for nurturing future leaders in the area of climate change", says Angus Mackay from the UN CC:Learn Secretariat. "It can help develop the core competences necessary for individuals to be able to promote low carbon and climate-resilient development. It can inspire these individuals to achieve a deeper understanding of the nature of vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters, as well as how people can continue to prosper and grow in the face of increasing uncertainty. The UN CC:Learn partnership places a special emphasis on working with education systems in countries that are very vulnerable to climate change, providing educators with new ideas, materials, sources of information and funding."
The booklet is designed as a tool and a source of inspiration for developing and carrying out projects, initiatives and campaigns to increase awareness of the causes and impacts of climate change, promote sustainable lifestyles and advance green low-carbon development. It is divided into themes that regroup various activities that have been designed, implemented and promoted by children and youth around the world on the issue of climate change:
- Uncovering mitigation potential;
- Gearing up for the storm;
- Nurturing young leaders;
- Spreading the message;
- Shaping the future climate change regime.
The United Nations system recognizes the key role that youth play in tackling climate change and works closely with youth-led and youth-focused organizations around the world through the United Nations Joint Framework Initiative on Children, Youth and Climate Change. Since 2008, the Joint Framework Initiative has been coordinating efforts of 16 intergovernmental entities and many youth organizations to empower youth to take adaptation and mitigation actions and enhance effective participation of youth in climate change policy decision-making processes.
Members of the Joint Framework Initiative include the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UNFCCC), the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), the UN Non-Governmental Liaison Service (UN-NGLS), the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN Programme on Youth, the UN Volunteers (UNV), the World Bank.

Look up "anamorphic" in the dictionary, and you'll discover that it refers to an intentionally distorted image. In the case of this waterproof mascara, distortion is a positive: three-dimensional lashes that create a gorgeous, wide-eyed look reminiscent of 1960s fashion icon Twiggy. The waterproof formula conditions, thickens, and volumizes—and the subtle brownish black color lasts all day without smudging.
Amazing long lasting for even the most watery eyes. I am over the moon excited to be able to wear this lovely brown mascara and not have it gliding down my face my noon or even midnight! Great stuff - am thrilled to spread the word to other with my same watery eye troubles. Pricey but WORTH IT~!5
After pouring through reviews on dozens of mascaras, I settled on this. I immediately noticed it was too thick to easily apply. The bristles on the wand get clumped together, and clumps come out of the tube periodically. I have never had an application that looked uniform or even noticeable.1
i love mascara and am always trying new ones. i don't think i've ever bought the same tube twice in a row (except benefit's they're real -- also amazing). but this mascara is hands down the best i've ever used, and i am totally hooked. applied normally, this mascara just looks so natural. i love looking like i was blessed with fabulous eyelashes instead of like i bought good mascara. for a more dramatic look, i can just apply more and powder between layers. this mascara is just super versatile and i can't say enough good things about it.5
I'm not a hater generally, but this stuff is useless. Every time I use it I do the first eye and things seem fine, but then when I reapply the mascara to the wand from the tube for the second eye, it comes out with giant blobs of glop. I end up with giant blobs of brown/black goo on my eye. Save your money and take a pass on this one.1
Lately I've had problems with mascara irritating my eyes, so I've been on the lookout for a new one for a while. The fact that this one has healthy-for-your-lashes ingredients was a plus for me, plus the reviews that it did not clump. I also liked the look of the brush.
I've had a few days to try it, and I love it. It stays on all day without flaking off, it goes on easily without clumping, and it makes my long lashes look extra lush. The best of all though, is that is does not irritate my eyes. I usually buy black, but the closest color option was the brownish-black, and it looks fabulous on me (blonde/fair/blue eyes).
I will definitely repurchase this one!
I'm almost sad that I liked this mascara so much, because it is so expensive. I received this in the limited edition Mother's Day kit, and have been using it like crazy every since.
I have never used any colored mascara other than black, so this was new, but I actually found that it suited my skin and lashes extremely well. It's still mostly black, but with just a slight bit of brown to make things more natural. My lashes looked extra voluminous, defined, and awesome, but still managed to look like I hadn't packed mascara on to them.
The wear time on them is excellent as well. I often have trouble with mascara running on me, because I have oily lids and watery eyes, but this was super waterproof. I have cried in this, I have been on a waterslide in this, and it does not budge. An even better bonus to this is that it doesn't make my lashes feel crunchy or hard like other waterproof mascaras, and it came off easily enough with basic makeup remover wipes or an oil-cleanser.
I have been on a quest to find the perfect mascara for years (yes, I know how pathetic that sounds). This mascara is AWESOME. It goes on without clumping, layers beautifully, and doesn't budge all day long. In fact, it takes makeup remover to get it off - my face wash won't do it. To me, this is a plus because I have oily eyelids and most eye makeup and mascara is smudged or gone within three hours of application. I would definitely buy this product again.5

LAWRENCEVILLE - Jim Phillips was torn from sleep by the sound of an errant vehicle skidding off the roadway, barreling through his holly trees, his fences, and going airborne like a missile into his backyard, sending his dogs into a barking frenzy.He wasn't too startled. He knew the sound because it'd happened before. "It's very dangerous to be on Sugarloaf (Parkway) on this stretch," said Phillips, 72, a retired salesman. "People continue to lose control." Before county traffic experts stepped in, Phillips feared the worst was to come. An abnormal percentage of the road's 25,000 daily travelers are acting more like Mario Andretti than responsible citizens, he said. Phillips' meticulously landscaped two-story home overlooks a hairy stretch of roadway locals have dubbed "The Sugarloaf Speedway." It's a snaking, quarter-mile span between Old Norcross Road and U.S. Highway 29 where the median is consistently scarred with skid marks and many telephone poles are fresh replacements for their splintered predecessors. "We have more accidents in this little four-block stretch than you can imagine," Phillips said. "We haven't had anybody killed yet - but we will, if they don't fix it." Earlier this year, denizens of neighboring subdivisions decided they were sick and tired of "Speedway" calamities. Convinced police speed crackdowns weren't doing the trick, they contacted Gwinnett County Commission leaders, who pointed them to the local Department of Transportation. "If there are requests and concerns, we'll definitely analyze it," said Chuck Bailey, director of the county's traffic engineering and planning division. "In this case, we hired a consultant to do an in-depth analysis." Preliminary recommendations of that $95,000 analysis - conducted by an outside consulting firm and funded through 2005 SPLOST transportation planning money - have included mainly cosmetic solutions, including: the installation of an additional 45 mph speed limit sign; warning signs that continuously flash to alert drivers of the upcoming curve; and a series of chevron-shaped signs signaling the bend. The measures should be installed by next week, Bailey said. Similar analyses spurred by resident complaints have been conducted on Pounds Road near Rockbridge Road and on Hamilton Mill Parkway in Dacula. "We've got to make sure that any modifications are appropriate for the area and will address (resident) concerns," Bailey said. "We can't just go out and throw things up." Beyond the signage, Phillips said he'd hoped to have a barrier installed as a means to prevent crossovers, and deceleration lanes to clear slower moving vehicles. But he's otherwise mollified by the speedy action on the county's part, he said. Meanwhile, other neighbors have butted heads with Phillips in disagreement of what should be done. The 70-plus members of the Sugarloaf Alliance, a homeowners group from Gwynay Forest and Davis Mill Woods subdivisions, are pulling for a stoplight or a complete redesign of the road. Safety and access to the busy thoroughfare is a chief concern of the Alliance. "Its layout is like a Grand Prix track, with several quick curves in a short distance," said John Kida, the Alliance's community watch director. "It's like playing Russian roulette when leaving the communities." When reckless-driving concerns reach a boiling point, Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. David Schiralli said residents should keep their first step simple. He recommends filing a traffic complaint with police, specifying the particular stretch of roadway or intersection that appears troublesome. Officers will conduct "aggressive speed enforcement for a number of days," Schiralli said. "They'll assign X amount of officers at that intersection, and they'll make a determination based on the number of speeding tickets" if further action is need or not, he said.

Film Review: It's Complicated
11:59 PM — It sure is complicated. This comedy love triangle comes from perhaps the best female-perspective comedy director in the business: Nancy Meyers. With an acclaimed CV of hits including The Holiday; What Women Want; and Something's Gotta Give, to her name you know you're in safe hands when you sit down to watch her latest Hollywood blockbuster offering. The cast list is nothing to be sneered at either as the Meyers name manages to snare the likes of Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin onto the film set. The results speak for themselves and it proves that if you want to make waves in a genre that is rarely taken too seriously by serious film buffs then the least you can do is call in the acting cavalry.

A-Rod singles, Yankees lose 8-1 to White Sox
He did say he has to defend himself because no one else will.
"I want nothing but the best for Al and his family," Pettitte said. "Glad to see him back. He's going to help this club. He's a great ballplayer. He's into the game. He'll definitely help us."
The Yankees are hoping Rodriguez can provide some sort of spark even though they're fading from the playoff picture. They need more power for their lineup, something that's been a particular problem for their third basemen.
Pettitte, however, did them no favors. He lasted 2 2-3 innings in his shortest outing since July 18, 2010, while matching season highs for runs (seven) and hits (11). He fell to 0-3 in his last four starts.
Rios delivered an RBI single and scored during a three-run first. He added a two-run single in the second that made it 5-0.
Rios then capped a two-run third with a bases-loaded walk after Preston Claiborne replaced Pettitte, making it 7-0.
That was more than enough for Quintana, who gave up one run and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings.
"It was just a good night offensively," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Guys were swinging it."
NOTES: Pettitte is the first Yankees pitcher since at least 1920 to allow runs in the first inning in seven straight starts within a single season, according to STATS LLC. ... Besides Rodriguez, Yankees C Francisco Cervelli and minor league OF Fernando Martinez were suspended 50 games. "I think he had made strides this year as a player, and I want him to come into spring training ready to go, try to learn from what has happened," manager Joe Girardi said when asked about Cervelli. ... With Jeter going on the DL, the Yankees recalled infielder Dave Adams from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. They also designated infielder Brent Lillibridge for assignment, and Rodriguez was activated from the disabled list. Outfielder Thomas Neal was claimed off waivers by the Cubs. ... White Sox LF Dayan Viciedo jammed his left thumb diving for Robinson Cano's single in the first inning and left the game. The team said X-rays were negative and he's day to day. ... RHP Hiroki Kuroda (10-6, 2.38 ERA) starts for the Yankees, with LHP Chris Sale (6-11, 2.92) pitching for Chicago on Tuesday.

SEEN a moose in suburbia? In Massachusetts, just call LART - the large animal response team. Urban ecologist Stephen DeStefano's day job routinely involves man-handling moose - and deer, beavers and bears - that have ventured into territory now claimed by humans. His fear is that as the human population continues to rise, land once available for wildlife is being commandeered for housing, roads and shopping malls. As our settlements sprawl, wild animals become "pests".
In Coyote at the Kitchen Door, DeStefano challenges that arrogant mindset. He vividly describes the wonder of his encounters with wild animals in wild places, and grippingly conveys why even suburban coyotes deserve respect. "We try to convince ourselves that we can go it alone," he writes, "yet our continued existence is predicated on sharing the land."

Coffin Bone Fractures (Ossicles) in Young Horses
by Richard A. Mansmann, VMD,PhD
The radiograph shows fractures in the developing wings of the coffin bone in a 13-month-old TB colt. There is a fragment on both sides of the developing wings of the coffin bone. This colt had similar lesions in the opposite foot at 6 months, which were completely healed by 13 months.
Fractures or ossicles in the developing wings of the coffin bone (third phalanx of P3) appear to be common in young horses. Coffin bone fractures in horses younger than 2 years of age heal more readily than those in horses over 2 years of age. So, whenever these wing fractures or ossicles are found in sucklings, weanlings, or yearlings, they should simply be given time to heal; surgery, confinement, and shoeing changes are usually unnecessary. It is recommended that healing be monitored with a single radiography (x-ray) every 2 months until the lesions have resolved. This common phenomenon in foals may be a traumatic form of developmental bone disease, and could be considered to be a sentinel for nutritional or other pasture footing problems (ground too hard, too many rocks, etc.).
In 1978, I found some irregularly scalloped areas (ossicles) in the developing wings of the coffin bone in three foals I had bred and raised. I was concerned, but the foals all developed normally and their coffin bones were radiographically normal by 15 months of age. Later, I had the opportunity to x-ray the feet of several young horses on a well-managed Thoroughbred and Appaloosa breeding farm. We found 13 healthy (i.e. sound) young horses with these ossicles on their coffin bones. In 1990, we x-rayed 6 foals every two months from 2 to 14 months of age. Four of the six foals had ossicles in at least one foot, all of which had "healed" completely by 14 months of age and caused no apparent problems.
Common Findings
The size and distribution of these ossicles are variable. They may be found in one or both wings of the same coffin bone, and in one or both feet. They are not necessarily symmetrical. They occur more often in the front feet, but may be found in the hind feet. These ossicles or fractures do not involve any part of the coffin joint.
Over the years, I have seen or read about foals that have had surgery to remove these "fracture fragments;" foals that have been discriminated against at sales, and foals that were treated with stall confinement or special shoeing. None of the 20 foals I have studied, and none of at least 20 others with which I have been involved, have had any lameness or developmental problems that were confirmed to be related to their P-3 ossicles. All have "healed" while being maintained in their farm's normal foal environment with no special treatment or management changes. (Note: Even more extensive fractures involving the body of the coffin bone or extending into the coffin joint seem to heal better in horses under 2 years of age than in older horses.)
It is my opinion this "temporary ossicle formation" in the P-3 is a very common phenomenon in young horses. These ossicles are probably not part of the normal development of the equine coffin bone, so they could be a form of traumatic developmental bone disease (i.e. trauma of some type causing a lesion in developing bone). They could also be a sentinel for pasture footing or nutritional problems in a particular herd.
In 1986, Dr. Yovich and others published a series of cases of coffin bone fractures in young horses. Three of the foals, ranging in age from 2 weeks to 5 months, had similar radiographic changes to the one shown above. Of the foals in which later radiographs were taken, the coffin bones developed normally.
Dr. Ric Redden, in an unpublished study, found ossicles in at least one foot in 115 out of 149 foals on six Thoroughbred farms in Kentucky. Some of these foals were lame and some had club-footed conformation, but others were sound.
In 1993, Dr. Kaneps and others from the University of California at Davis suggested that these ossicles are fractures, although lameness histories on the affected foals were unclear. The theory as to how or why these fractures occur in the developing wings of the coffin bone involves three key points:
- The foal's hoof and coffin bone are soft and do not mature until 2-3 years of age.
- The fractures occur at or near the junction between the coffin bone and the cartilage that will ossify with maturity into the wing of the coffin bone. In other words, the fractures occur in an area of developing bones.
- The deep flexor tendon attaches onto the underside of the coffin bone at about this level.
According to the theory, the fractures occur while the foal is running around in the field. During a sharp turn, the ground forces on the developing wing of the coffin bone exert pressure in one direction, while the deep flexor tendon pulls the coffin bone in another direction. The result is a small fragment of bone broken off the margin of the coffin bone, as shown in the radiograph above.

Upon returning to campus this semester, students found their allotted work study hours severely cut back. While the amount earned is expected to fluctuate according to a student's FAFSA (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and their specific financial need, a cut in hours implicates issues with financial aid on campus.
According to Michele Hensley, director of EMU's Financial Aid Office, work study hours did indeed change in such a way that the majority of those who participate in the work study program would, unfortunately, be making less money this year. Michele made clear that the reasons behind these changes are not simple ones, and that they were in no way taken lightly when put into place.
The inherent problem, according to Hensley, lies not with EMU's Financial Aid program, but with the overarching financial aid guidelines put in place by the federal government.
"What happens is that when the federal minimum wage gets increased, we have to pay more to the student, which we want to do, but we didn't get our allotment increased." In this case, it is specifically an imbalance between the federal guidelines for minimum wage, and the amount of money EMU is allotted in order to pay its students.
"That means," said Hensley "that we have to either reduce the amount being awarded… or we're gonna reduce the amount of people that are eligible by making the financial need criteria harder to meet. Well, we don't like that here because that means that you give more money to less students. So, the only logical thing that we had to do was to cut the amount that you can earn."
"I think we should probably be grateful that we're allowed to do work study at all," said John David, Sophomore.
"We're basically going to college and getting paid for it instead of having to come to college and then have to go out looking for a job, where we would have to drive there, whereas here, we come from class and go right to work."
Hensley stated that a substantial increase in the allotment has not happened in many years, and with every coming year, more and more students are seeking financial aid in order to make college a possibility, along with a larger amount of students searching for work on campus as less jobs are available in the surrounding community.
"The idea is that [with the bettering economy], when other places begin to pay more than the federal minimum wage, capable students will stop working in the federal work study program, and start working outside jobs. And if that happens, the first thing we will do is to ask, 'Okay, how can we fix this?'"
What has been made clear is firstly, those who have been in the program for more than one semester will see a decrease in their work study hours.
Secondly, Hensley clarified that it is not the Aid office that is to blame for work study hours taking a dip. The financial aid counselors do their best each year to ensure students receive as much aid as they can with what is allotted to EMU. Lastly, hope remains.
"The goal is not to keep [aid] where it is," Hensley said. "The goal is to get it back up to where it was."

Pneumatic Palletizer
The new PalletPal 360 Air level loader from Southworth Products allows operators to build or break down pallet loads with minimal bending, reaching, stretching or walking around. The unit automatically adjusts the height of pallets as boxes are added or removed. Height adjustment is achieved by a heavy-duty reinforced rubber air bag that maintains the top layer of stacked containers at a convenient height. The PalletPal 360 Air can accommodate loads from 400 to 4,500 lbs. And the unit's turntable ring (or optional turntable platform) allows the user to effortlessly rotate the load so he or she can stand in the same spot throughout the loading or unloading process. All of the unit's components are contained within the diameter of the turntable ring so users can step closer, allowing full 360-degree access, which makes loading and unloading pallets faster, safer and easier, according to the manufacturer.

My hair is finally getting long enough to pull this off, thank goodness!, but it's still not as long as the model's. Do I have to use a long sock like the one in the picture…as opposed to an ankle sock? Does the length of the sock correlate to the length of the hair?

WORCESTER, Mass. — Lafayette's Meghan Cicchi notched a hat trick in the first half; finishing the game with four goals as the Holy Cross field hockey team dropped an 8-0 decision against the Leopards at the Hart Turf Field. With the defeat, the Crusaders dip to a 0-13 record on the season (0-3 Patriot League) while Lafayette moves to a record of a 6-7 overall (3-0 Patriot League). Sophomore goalie Kelly Sotsky (Wayne, Pa.) tallied her third double-digit save game, making 11 saves in all.
The Leopards controlled the offensive momentum throughout the entire first half, collecting five goals on 14 shots. Four of the five goals came off penalty corners as Lafayette also held the corner edge 10-0. Sotsky made five saves in the half, as the Crusaders found themselves shot-less after the first 35 minutes and down 5-0.
Lafayette found the back of the cage in three more occurrences in the second half as Cara Lyons, who scored in the first half, followed with two more goals at 53:42 and 68:18 to complete the Leopards' second hat trick of the game. Cicchi's fourth goal came at 53:42 to round out the scoring for the Leopards. Senior Alanna Sikorski (Glen Gardner, N.J.) marked the team's only shots in the second half, but could not find the back of the cage as Holy Cross fell by the final 8-0 tally. Sikorski also played well defensively for the squad, collecting her third defensive save of the season.
In all, Lafayette held a 25-2 shots advantage. The Leopards also held the penalty corners edge, 14-2. Sotsky finished with a total of 11 saves while Lafayette's starting goalie, Kelsey Anderson made a total of one save in her sixth win.
Holy Cross will complete the weekend doubleheader with a 2:00 p.m. game against Yale, tomorrow, Oct. 17. The contest will be held on the Hart Turf Field in Worcester, Mass.

Apple posted a job on their Chinese site that seems to indicate they're close to settling a huge deal with China Mobile. Shutterstock / Catwalker / Michael del Castillo
The UpTake: If this job posting is what is seems, Apple is about to make some huge news on an international scale.
Thanks to the eagle-eyes of Edmond Lococo over at Bloomberg, who's job apparently involves occasionally scanning Apple's "help wanted" ads in China, we have some strong evidence that Apple is close to closing a deal with China Mobile—at 700 million users, the largest carrier on the planet. And although the deal may not be make-or-break for the Chinese company, Apple is in need of the international boost.
The job qualifications for the Carrier Engineering Manager, which were posted on Apple's Chinese website, include such innocuous qualifications as 10+ years experience, being proactive, and having strong planning and communication skills. But as CNN reported it was "in-depth" knowledge of TD-SCDMA, or Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, that is the real giveaway.
China Mobile is the only carrier that uses this protocol to send and receive signals from cell phones at 3G and 4G speeds, according to the report. So "Carrier Engineering Manager" would also be Apple's China Mobile liaison.
With an operating revenue increase of 6.1 percent last year to approximately $89 billion (560.4 billion yuan), according to its publicly available financial review, China Mobile doesn't exactly need much of a boost from Apple. But with a wireless data traffic increase of 187.6 percent during the same year, and even more growth forecast by the company, some sleek new American hardware (made in China) might not hurt.
But as analyst David Pearl told NBC earlier this year, Apple "needs" a China Mobile deal.
Apple's share of the smartphone market topped off at 24 percent at the end of 2011. But a year later the company's share dropped to 21 percent, and last quarter was a measly 14 percent, according to a CNN report.
Anyone with in-depth TD-SCDMA experience? Apple wants (needs) you.

Small town Destin
Category : Island Enthusiasts
After getting back home from NOLA on Monday it was time to get back to the grind. Back to work on Tuesday and back down to the Turtle on Wednesday to see what we missed over the weekend. We got a full report from Matt. Last weekend was the Powerboat Poker Run. This is the largest Poker Run in the country. Close to 200 boats take part in it. Boats that can cost up to a million bucks are here. Turns out two of these boats rented some slips from Galati Yachts that is right next to the Turtle. They had one big party with naked women, music drowning out everything and a couple of body guards making sure no one else got close. Wow. Saturday night the cops arrested some guy who had stolen some of the dollar bills off the wall at The Boathouse and was trying to use them at the Turtle. Hard to miss them since they are all marked up! To top it off, the cops ran a sting with an underage girl trying to buy drinks. Matt carded her but two other places on the harbor got busted. Miss a couple of days and you miss a lot in Destin.
There was also a boating accident on Saturday in the bay. A powerboat not in the Poker Run hit a wake wrong and everyone in the boat was ejected. One guy drowned and it turns out we knew him. Tommy was a friend of Ron Adams and they used to come into Calhoun's all the time. That was sad news.
Thursday Sunshine Cindy and I headed over the Miller's Ale House for some food and brews. We sat at the outside bar and had an enjoyable time. Julie and Ashley were behind the bar taking care of us. Ashley was training and had a fun personality. She was telling us about a party at Nighttown tonight called the "Pimp and Ho's" party. She went into explicit detail about her sexy outfit. I think I should have had a cigarette after that talk. We also had a long talk with one of the managers. Jared stopped by to check on us and we ended up talking about Crab Island Mambo for a long while. We also found out he used to play hockey in the ECHL. That was the same league Pensacola had a team in plus he is best friends with Ryan Malone of the Tampa Bay Lightning. They grew up together and are still close. I love hockey so that was cool talking about that.
At one point it started to rain outside and I had make a dash to BadAss to put the top up. Score one for Mother nature. When we left Millers we stopped in at The Palms to see what was going on there. The Palms is a condo almost across the street from our sub division. There were only a few folks at the bar and the outside bar was not open. We grabbed a couple of beers and went to sit outside. It was a beautiful evening with a nice breeze and they have some nice patio furniture to sit on. One guy who works in the kitchen came out and chatted with us for a while. Turns out we had just missed Tom. We know Tom from the Turtle and he basically runs the condo. Oh well, maybe next time. It was just another typical Destin night. See ya Monday with a weekend wrap-up!

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) June 21, 2013
In observance of National Mosquito Control Awareness Week, June 23 to June 29, RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment)® is bringing attention to the importance of eliminating the growing threat of mosquitoes that are spreading West Nile virus across the nation.
Last year was the worst ever for West Nile virus deaths with 286 deaths, according to U.S. health officials. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accurately predicted that weather conditions favorable for the breeding of the mosquitoes would result in a high number of West Nile cases in 2012.
"When environmental factors increase the threat of mosquitoes, each of us needs to take steps to proactively protect our family and community," said Karen Reardon, vice president of public affairs for RISE. "Inspecting your yard and taking simple measures now will help control mosquito populations throughout the season."
RISE is sharing the following checklist to help homeowners prevent and manage mosquitoes this summer:
