The current-generation Subaru Outback was never going to win any beauty contests with its blend of rugged SUV looks and station wagon design. Still, it's found lots of fans – even five years after its launch, the Outback was Subaru's second-highest selling model in 2013. With the reveal of the next-generation 2015 Legacy at the Chicago Auto Show, it should be no surprise that Car and Driver says Subaru will reveal the next Outback at the New York Auto Show in April.
If previous generations are any indication, the next Outback will likely borrow liberally from the new Legacy, including its platform and engines. In addition to its five-door, station wagon design, the Outback will almost assuredly feature added body cladding and a higher ride height than the Legacy. Subaru's big push with the new Legacy will be to improve interior quality and comfort with liquid-filled engine mounts, an acoustic glass windshield, increased sound deadening, new infotainment systems and new safety tech. All of these will probably appear in the Outback as well.
After its rumored New York reveal, the 2015 Outback is expected to go on sale around the same time as the new Legacy in the summer of 2014.

EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers traded centre Andrew Cogliano to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday in exchange for a second-round draft pick in 2013.
Cogliano has drafted by Edmonton 25th overall in the 2005 draft and has not missed a game in four NHL seasons.
Last season the 24-year-old finished with 11 goals and 35 points.
In 328 career games with the Oilers, the Toronto native has 57 goals and 146 points. He also led Edmonton with a career-high 461 faceoff wins.
The pick acquired for Cogliano gives Edmonton eight selections in the 2013 draft.

where can I find legitimate internet business opportunities? If you are looking for a proven legitimate online home business there are a number of things you can do to try and establish whether the opportunity is legitimate or a scam. This is not always easy but it is to your advantage to invest some time in researching the opportunity before parting with any money.
There are thousands of scams on the Internet as well as legitimate online home businesses and for new visitors to the Internet the task of trying to distinguish between the two can be very overwhelming.
Often the scam sites look so attractive and offer such great incomes or rewards that it is hard to believe that it is not legitimate, hence the reason so many people fall prey to the scammers.
So one thing to be wary of is those sites that make huge income claims, like earn $10 000 in your first week or month with an online business. This really is totally unrealistic and if that amount is perhaps fives times your current salary, do you really think it is possible to earn such a huge income in such a short period of time with no prior experience with this type of Internet business?
If the online business opportunity is legitimate then it would not be unreasonable for somebody who has been in the business for a couple of years to be earning a huge income. So where can I find legitimate internet business opportunities? But be warned that nearly all the business opportunities on the Internet advertise the income of their top earners who have been working hard for a couple of years. They rarely advertise the income of those just starting out in the business. An online business is like any other business, you will need to work hard at building it up over a period of time to produce a good income.
So then do not get carried away with excitement when you find a Website making such unrealistic income claims. The Internet does not have magical powers to enable us to earn magnificent incomes overnight.
One can get so caught up in all the hype that it is easy to sign up for an online business opportunity that does not live up to its promises and this can result in huge disappointment, so a Website that is not promising the Earth is probably a safer Internet business route to take.
When you find a Website offering an online business opportunity that appeals to you, spend some time going through it and do not jump in immediately and part with your money.
Have a look on the Website to see if there is any contact information, either an email address or a Contact icon like an envelope, and send a short message expressing your interest in the Internet business and see if you receive a response. Check also to see if there is a physical address on the Website as this adds credibility.
Look for logos on the Website of the respectable bodies on the internet like the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Truste.org, Alexa Ranking, i-Cop.org click on these logos and you should see information about the site. You could also look up the domain on the DomainTools.com (previously called Who is) Website and you will see the registration details, spend time to see if they look legitimate. See if it answers the question where can I find legitimate internet business opportunities. For example you do not want to see a phone number listed as 1234567890. You will find a lot of information from this Website, so it is advisable to spend time doing some research.
Check on the Website to see if any guarantees are offered, such as a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee or perhaps a 14 or 30-day free trial offer. It is also a good idea to see if any training is offered, as this is really important if you are new to Internet marketing.
There may also be the opportunity to sign up for a free Newsletter, which will give you the opportunity to not only learn from what the newsletter offers but also enable you to get a general feel for the online business opportunity and put you in touch with your referrer.
At the end of the day, once you have researched the Internet business opportunity thoroughly, sleep on it and take heed of your gut feel and all being well you will learn how to use the Internet to generate an income with your own legitimate online business.

Republicans should resist temptation to pander and point Hispanics in the direction of freedom and opportunity, what got them here in the first place.
When God established immigration guidelines for Israel, there was no room for multiculturalism. "One nation, under God, indivisible." That's actually not a bad idea.
When Western politicians who make decisions based upon "trust your feelings" meet the cold reality of Islamist logic, the Islamists will win – unless we either change our worldview or replace those politicians with ones who are logical and rational.
Instead of increasing our scrutiny of asylum and refugee seekers who admit to providing "limited material support" to terrorists, the Obama administration has created more loopholes for them.
By "religion," it is clear that the Founders meant only the various denominational expressions of Christianity. The Founders were dealing exclusively with Christianity in the First Amendment.
From the Big Apple to the Beltway to the Mile High City, there is no safe haven from Muslim terrorism. They and their willing accomplices are already here -- and have been for a good, long time.
In their ongoing efforts to punish firms seeking low taxes, the socialist bunch in Washington threatens the private sector with a promise that "the beatings will continue until morale improves."
The U.S. Constitution makes it clear: American atheists are not and should not be barred from serving their country through military service.
Here's the first and last rule of Islamic jihad: If at first you don't succeed, plot, plot again.
Military service should rightly be reserved for those who believe in and are willing to die for what America stands for - and what America stands for is a belief in God as the source of our rights.
There's no way of knowing whether anyone is succeeding or failing without first knowing what they are trying to do. In Barack Obama's case, he's trying to get each crisis off the front pages as quickly as he can, in whatever way he can, at the lowest political cost.
There's no clear scientific evidence that anyone is "born gay." One of the major gay activist talking points, it has even infiltrated parts of the church – but it's based on lies, not truth.
By her own actions and words, Wendy Davis knew she was putting to death her own child in 1996. Whether the adamantly pro-abortion gubernatorial candidate for Texas will ever accept the reality or not, she is pro-life.
A decade has passed and the question is still unanswered. The FBI has yet to track down this homicidal plotter. Meanwhile, jihad lives, our borders are wide open, and political correctness reigns. God help America the Unsecure.
Maybe he should have said: "The best thing of all would be to lead them to Jesus, but I have little hope that could happen. So, since it's a war they want, we will bring the war to them." But that wouldn't be Phil Robertson - nor is it as catchy as "convert them or kill them."
Michael Sam didn't measure up, so the St. Louis Rams refused to do business with him. If the Rams can discriminate against a homosexual because his behavior doesn't meet their standards, so can bakers, florists and photographers.

Preston, Douglas J.
Adult Nonfiction HV6535.I83 F5666 2008c
Summary: In the nonfiction tradition of John Berendt ("Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil") and Erik Larson ("The Devil in the White City"),New York Timesbestselling author Douglas Preston presents a gripping account of crime and punishment in the lush hills surrounding Florence , Italy . In 2000, Douglas Preston fulfilled a dream to move his family to Italy. Then he discovered that the olive grove in front of their 14 th century farmhouse had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known as the Monster of Florence. Preston , intrigued, meets Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to learn more.This is the true story of their search for--and identification of--the man they believe committed the crimes, and their chilling interview with him. And then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves become targets of the police investigation. Preston has his phone tapped, is interrogated, and told to leave the country. Spezi fares worse: he is thrown into Italy 's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself. Like one of Preston's thrillers,The Monster Of Florence, tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, and suicide-and at the center of it, Preston and Spezi, caught in a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.

Tim McGraw recruited Taylor Swift to sing and Keith Urban to play guitar on the song "Highway Don't Care" on his just-released album, Two Lanes of Freedom . He knew he wanted both of them on that track from the moment he started working on it. Tim had actually been looking for an opportunity to work with Keith for a while now.
"We still want to find one to sing together on," Tim tells ABC News Radio. "It's just finding the right thing. And I don't like to force those things. To me, if you're gonna work together, let's find something that organically works."
Having Keith play guitar on "Highway Don't Care" was a real honor for Tim though, and Tim says of Keith, "He's just one of the greatest. I think he's just such an asset to our music. He's just one of the guys that we should prop up and say that this is somebody we're proud of."
As for recording the song with Taylor, Tim was glad to find a song that didn't cast Taylor as his love interest. Instead, Taylor's vocal part is meant to be a song playing on the radio within the song.
He says, "That's why this worked so perfect, 'cause her vocal part comes from a whole different place. It has nothing to do with the sort of the two main characters of the song."
The fans are latching on to "Highway Don't Care" in a big way. The track debuts this week at #1 on the Billboard Country Digital Songs chart, which tracks song downloads.

A man police say was wanted for armed robbery was identified after asking for the time.
The Holyoke Police Department Narcotics Division arrested the alleged suspect, Alex Echevarria in an alley on Suffolk Street on Wednesday.
According to police, Echevarria walked up to Detective Hamel, who was checking the area, and asked him for the time. Det. Hamel identified Echevarria as the suspect wanted for armed robbery.
While being placed under arrest, Det. Hamel noticed a hospital band on Echevarria's wrist. Echevarria claimed he had just been released from the hospital after being jumped the night before, but refused to name who attacked him.
Police say they found heroin and cocaine on Echevarria.

WEST LIBERTY, Ky. (WHAS11) – Eastern Kentucky was one of many areas ravaged by tornadoes from last March.
West Liberty had massive damage including businesses such as the Freezer Fresh Dairy and the Citizens Bank which were destroyed.
On this anniversary, the businesses have reopened and residents say they're still working to rebuild both physically and emotionally.
"This is a bittersweet time for us because lives were lost, friends of ours were lost and we can't forget that but we're happy that we see progress and that we are rebuilding," Cody Prater said.
The EF-3 tornado struck the heart of West Liberty last year.
6 people were killed.

South Santee Plantations Scrapbook Collection
This collection of photographs from the early twentieth century shows life on two South Santee River plantations: Hampton and the Wedge. Hampton Plantation was owned by the Rutledge family, including Archibald Rutledge, Poet Laureate of South Carolina. The Wedge plantation was built by William Lucas in 1826, and remained in the Lucas family until 1929. The third scrapbook features photographs from the nearby town of McClellanville. This small town, often called, "the Village", was started in the 1850s as a place for nearby plantation owners to escape the summer diseases that were a constant threat on the rice plantations. In the early 20th century, many of these families continued the traditions of their ancestors, traveling to "the Village" for the summer.

NICK PERRY, Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra pleaded guilty Thursday to four food-safety violations following a botulism scare last year.
Government officials earlier in the day filed charges accusing the world's largest dairy exporter of processing and exporting products in a way that didn't meet standards and then failing to notify officials quickly enough when it became aware of the lapses.
Maury Leyland, a Fonterra manager, said the company immediately filed guilty pleas to all charges.
Fonterra faces a maximum fine of 500,000 New Zealand dollars ($426,000).
The botulism scare sparked a global recall of infant formula but turned out to be a false alarm. It came after the company processed whey protein concentrate in dirty pipes in one of its factories in the North Island's Waikato district.
Initial tests indicated the presence of botulism bacteria in the concentrate but later tests found it to be another, less harmful bacteria.
Leyland, who led an internal operational review following the incident, said the company was implementing procedures to try to prevent similar problems in the future.
"It was a serious event, but it was one event," Leyland said. "It comes against a backdrop of years of supplying high-quality product and high-quality food to the world."
The scare in New Zealand was treated with the urgency of a national emergency. That's because the dairy industry drives the economy and companies like Fonterra are able to command a premium in the country's biggest export market, China, because of their reputation for providing high-quality products.
Fonterra is a cooperative owned by 10,500 farmers that enjoys a near-monopoly on New Zealand milk. It has annual revenues of more than $15 billion.

The Best Ever!!!!
I've been using different methods of hair removal for over 30 years and this by far is the absolute best product ever. No sticky messes, no burning yourself or tearing skin, no marks ever. The strips are the perfect size and easy to open. It's fast, easy and painless. I can do my eyebrows and upper lip in two minutes and be ready to go. So sorry I didn't find this product sooner.

Didn't Work For Me.
The product only waxed the weak hairs. Which for me being an Indian I have strong roots and not a lot of weak. It would do great for some one who has thin weak roots. If you are me you need to stick with the name brand wax and wax it the old fashion way.

Works Super Well - I Will Definitely Buy This Again.
I tried this based on the other reviews and they're very accurate. This was my first time using facial waxing strips and my was only a little red (barely/not noticeable to others) and it didn't hurt very much. I used some Azulene Oil after that I got with another waxing product and it soothed the skin almost immediately. Will definitely get this again!

Great For My Sensitive Skin
Clean and Easy facial strip wax is the best facial hair remover I have used. No messy creams or hot wax. The strips are the right size for the area above the lip. I have sensitive skin and a facial scar above the lip. There is no redness after I remove the strip.

Great For My Sensitive Skin
I have used many hair remover products and by far this is the ultimate best, no messy creams or hot wax. I use the strips for the area above my lip. They are perfectly sized and so quick .It takes off all the facial hair down to the follicles I don't even have redness after using like I did with other products and I have a surgical scar.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Republican lawmakers put forth a new mining bill today, but they admit it is very similar to the one that failed in the Senate last March. They say it will lead to thousands of new jobs in Wisconsin.
Democrats say its too familiar, would allow too much destruction to the environment, and is so poorly put together it will never even result in a mine being established.
It is in the Penokee Hills of far northern Wisconsin, near Hurley, that mining company Gogebic Taconite wants to establish an open pit iron ore mine.
The new bill streamlines the permitting process for iron ore mining and exempts it from current state law.
"What it will do in its basics is (give) certainty for an applicant, that they're going to be able to get an answer. And also we're gonna uphold Wisconsin's high environmental standards," said Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Hazelhurst), one of the bill's authors.
"Both Minnesota and Michigan have established separate mining laws for Taconite mining. These laws include realistic timelines, which our bill does as well," said Rep. Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford), the Assembly Majority Leader who also co-authored the bill.
But Senator Tim Cullen (D-Janesville), who held a series of mining hearings last fall, says the bill is completely unrealistic, especially when it comes to the permitting timelines. Sen. Cullen says they are totally out of sync with the permitting requirements laid out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"480 days, that's completely unreasonable from the Corps' standpoint," said. Sen. Cullen. "Its unreasonable for anybody who's familiar with mining. Its unreasonable to the Wisconsin Mining Association."
Environmental groups are expressing concern that the bill allows the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to exempt a mining company from the state's water quality standards as well.
"Its still extreme, its still flawed, its still a one-sided bill that threatens to contaminate our water with pollutants like arsenic, lead and mercury," said Anne Sayers, spokesperson for the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters.
All of those concerns lead to the bigger question of whether the new bill can actually pass the Senate this time around. Sen. Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center) was the deciding vote against the 2012 version.
"We have had a discussion in caucus and there were a number of legislators who had very strong concerns about lessening (environmental) standards," said Sen. Schultz. "What they're willing to settle for and how this bill shakes out, you know, those are questions that we have to answer as we do our work."
Sen. Cullen plans to introduce his own mining bill on Friday, in an attempt to push Republicans to compromise on what he feels would be a more reasonable bill.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) has said he doesn't plan on holding a vote on any mining bill until March.
MADISON (WKOW) -- State Republican lawmakers introduced a 206 page mining bill Wednesday morning which would create an expedited permitting process for iron mining and exempt it from Wisconsin's current metallic mining laws.
Sen. Tom Tiffany (R-Hazelhurst) and Rep. Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford), the Assembly Majority Leader, introduced the bill at a news conference with a number of other Republicans and two people who live in the Hurley area.
Hurley is just south of Lake Superior and is where Gogebic Taconite, a Florida-based mining company, established an office in 2011.
Gogebic Taconite wanted to establish an iron ore mine in that area last year, but a bill that would have expedited their permitting process failed in the State Senate 17-16.
Sen. Tiffany and Rep. Suder say this new bill is very similar to that previous bill that failed, with some technical changes. They also say Gogebic Taconite is still interested in pursuing a mine to the area. Rep. Mark Honadel (R-South Milwaukee) says such a mine will bring thousands of jobs to every part of the state.
However, Sen. Tim Cullen (D-Janesville), who formed a Senate Select Committee on Mining and held hearings in Fall of 2012, told reporters this bill is not realistic, because the timelines established in it will conflict with federal standards. He also expressed concern the bill allows the DNR to grant exemptions to current environmental standards.
Sen. Cullen plans to introduce his own mining bill on Friday.
Capitol Bureau Chief Greg Neumann will have live reports on the new mining bill on 27 News at 5 and 6.

KINGSTON, Jamaica -- The lilting Jamaican patois and swinging rhythm of reggae contradict another prominent sound heard everywhere on this Caribbean island, a sound that is not gentle but urgent, and that is the sound of soles pounding pavement, dirt lanes and oval tracks.
It is the sound of speed.
Children in their school jumpers and neckties, in their bare feet challenge each other to footraces up green hills or through cluttered ghettoes. At two track clubs in the capital, the worlds fastest men and women match strides.
If you grow up in Jamaica, you run. Or get left behind.
At the London Olympics, Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Veronica Campbell-Brown will run for gold, and their top competition could come from fellow Jamaicans, as it has since they were youngsters.
In Jamaica, Bolt said, second place might as well be last.
Bolt is the latest, perhaps greatest star to come out of the Sprint Factory, which is how Jamaicans refer to their country. World record-holder in three events the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400-meter relay Bolt is as beloved as Bob Marley, not only for his feats and charisma but also for his devotion to Jamaica.
Bolt could train anywhere, but he chose to stay home. He practices at the University of West Indies track, hardly a posh place, but it keeps him close to his roots.
If hes ever lacking inspiration not likely for the clown prince of track who stirs spectators by pantomiming an archer shooting a lightning bolt into the sky he need only reflect on the history of Jamaica, which produces medal winners in numbers disproportionate to its size.
Jamaica, a nation of 2.8 million that is smaller than Connecticut, has won 54 Olympic medals in track and field. At the 2008 Beijing Games, Jamaicans captured 11 medals in track and field, including gold in the individual sprints and even a sweep of the womens 100 in a dominating performance that humbled the U.S. team. On Aug. 5, Bolt and Blake are expected to duel each other and a loaded field in the 100-meter final in a city with a large Jamaican community. The medals ceremony Aug. 6 also will mark the 50th anniversary of Jamaicas independence and the raising of Jamaicas green, yellow and black flag inside Kingstons National Stadium.
Tradition is one reason for success in tracks, which is how Jamaicans refer to the sport. So is Champs, the annual national school meet that attracts sellout crowds and prepares athletes for pressure-packed events. The warm climate. The muscle-building terrain. And yams, those magical yellow yams tuber of champions.
At Bolts restaurant, he offers the Fresh Out Da Blocks special lunch featuring jerk chicken with yams, hardoo bread and fire slaw in 9.58 minutes (his world record in the 100 is 9.58 seconds) or its free. Classic reggae albums decorate the walls. Theres a gift shop with autographed gear, a cocktail called The Finish Line and videos of Bolts races.
Track and field is a source of pride and potential celebrity in a poor country where the average yearly income is less than $4,500, jobs are scarce and the crime rate is high, especially in areas where gangs run the drug trade.
When a track meet is on, everyone calls a truce on their troubles. Its the national passion, superseding cricket and soccer.
Quite a scene
About 30,000 fans packed National Stadium for the Jamaica International Invitational in May, passing by the statues of Herb McKenley, Donald Quarrie and Merlene Ottey on their way inside.
Let us use the athletes performances to build our confidence, sneaker-wearing Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller said to open the competition.
It was Bolts first open 100 of the year. At the starting line, he went into his act, dusting off his shoulders, slicking back his hair, kissing his fingers and touching his heart. Then he leaned way back and pulled on his imaginary bow. Spectators laughed along with him, jumped up and down, blew yellow horns and kazoos and knocked noisemakers together. When the four Jamaicans in the eight-man field settled into the blocks, the racket stopped and a murmur of Shhhhh circulated through the stands.
After two false starts not assigned to anybody, Bolt blazed to an easy win in 9.82 seconds, a promising season debut.
Bolt, smiling constantly, waved and clapped. Then he removed his electric green spikes and jogged around the grass embankment adjacent to the stands, shaking hands and slapping palms with fans. Young girls screamed the way they used to when Elvis was nearby.
I enjoy being the center of attention, Bolt said. Its a wonderful feeling to run here. The people give me a lot of love. They truly spur me on.
Blake, Bolts teammate at Racers Track Club, cruised to first in the 200 but Americans won the womens 100 and 200.
The fans were just as energetic or more so for the high school portion of the meet. It was a taste of the four-day interscholastic extravaganza held each March for 102 years known as Champs.
They are traveling well! the PA announcer exclaimed during a 400-meter relay race won by Edwin Allen High. Big cheers for your alma mater!
Miamis Bershawn Jackson, winner of the 400 hurdles, said the atmosphere inside National Stadium is unlike any other.
The intensity is incredible, he said. The fans know the sport. Its the closest thing to a European meet in the Western Hemisphere.
National Stadium is where 15-year-old Bolt saluted an instantly beguiled crowd after winning the 200 at the 2002 junior world championships. At the 2003 Champs meet, he won the 200 and 400 in record time. Four years ago at the Invitational meet, Bolt introduced himself to the world with a 9.76, then the second-fastest time in history. That night, Tyson Gay ran the 200, watched the 6-5 Bolt bound past the field with longer and fewer strides and said: Amazing. This changes the whole picture of our event.
But there was a different outcome on the big blue track last month during Jamaicas Olympic trials. Blake was quicker than Bolt out of the blocks and to the finish line in both the 100 and 200.
The Beast rises
Glen Mills, who coaches Bolt and Blake, later said Bolt had a tender hamstring, which required a trip to Germany and treatment from his longtime doctor, Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, known as Healing Hans to dozens of pro athletes.
But the losses got the gossip mill churning. Was Bolt, who likes to dance and DJ at Kingston clubs, partying harder than he was training? Had his $7 million in earnings since Beijing made him complacent? His mansion with half a dozen black vehicles in the driveway is perched high above the stadium in a gated subdivision.
What caused him to wreck his BMW recently, two years after he wrecked another BMW while driving barefoot? Or, was he psyched out by protégé Blake? In fact, theres a persistent rumor that Bolt false-started and was disqualified on purpose at last years world championships because he didnt want to lose to Blake, who became the youngest world champ at 100 meters since Carl Lewis.
Bolt, 25, and Blake, 22, are friends, and say they will remain so no matter what happens in London. They train together under Mills and hang out during trips. Their faces appear on billboards all over town Bolt talking on Digicell, Blake in a starters crouch next to a sports car. Bolt has been Blakes inspiration.
I owe him so much, Blake said. He has taught me like Im his little brother.
Bolt, who nicknamed Blake The Beast, dismisses any talk of a rivalry.
Im training to stay on top and hes training to get to the top, so its two different things, Bolt said. We push each other. When youre confident theres no need to show up a fellow athlete.
Mills, 62, has coached Jamaican athletes to more than 100 Olympic and world championship medals. Hes a bald, barrel-chested man who speaks in a soothing baritone. Perhaps thats why his runners appear relaxed when opponents nerves are frayed.
I love both, Mills said of the showman Bolt and the serious, soft-spoken Blake. One is tall, one is short. Beyond that, I do not compare them. I make no predictions.
As for former world champ Kim Collins declaration that two male crabs cannot live in the same hole, Mills laughed. He points out that Lewis and Leroy Burrell trained together, as did Maurice Greene and Ato Bolden.
Theyre not enemies, he said. They enjoy competition.
Mills athletes place total trust in him. The former math teacher calculates the geometry of form for his runners, then adjusts their technique. Bolt came to him with poor mechanics and hamstring problems. Mills figured out that scoliosis was the cause. Bolt enhanced his core and hip-flexor strength and his forward lean, but is still a work in progress. Hell need to improve his start in order to run the 9.4 and 19.00 he and Michael Johnson believe he can run.
Humble beginnings
Bolt grew up in the hilly countryside of Trelawny in a house with no running water; he had to carry buckets up and down rutted roads. His father was a coffee farm laborer, his mother a seamstress. Bolt loved cricket first, but his speed on the pitch impressed track coaches.
Trelawny was home to Campbell-Brown, who used to walk and jog five miles to school, and Ben Johnson, whose 100-meter win for Canada at the 1988 Olympics was annulled when he tested positive for steroids.
Yams grown in Trelawny are to Jamaicans what grapefruits grown in Florida are to Americans: delicious and nutritious.
Weve got rich soil, Bolt said. Bananas, ackee, callaloo our diet is healthy.
Blake grew up with six siblings in Bogue Hill, also toting water and aspiring to be a cricket player. He joined Mills club and had his first setback in 2009, when he tested positive for a stimulant. He was exonerated but Jamaicas anti-doping agency made him serve a three-month suspension. Track officials and athletes are sensitive to accusations of doping.
The testers can form a queue outside my house if they want to, because the more often they test me and other athletes to show that we are clean, the better it is for the sport, Bolt wrote in his autobiography.
Former world-record holder Asafa Powell started the stay-in-Jamaica movement when he joined coach Stephen Francis MVP (Maximum Velocity Possible) club. Fraser-Pryce had U.S. college scholarship offers, but she decided to join MVP, too.
It was a tough decision, but I wanted to be near my mother and my brothers, and I knew, even with a scholarship, it would be difficult to pay for expenses, she said.
Johnson, Donovan Bailey and Linford Christie are among those who left. Even Ottey competed for Slovenia in her later years. But with a $2 million investment in facilities the past three years, the Jamaican government is showing its commitment to home-grown athletes who prefer home-grown coaches and home cooking. More than 100 Jamaican track athletes still leave each year to attend U.S. schools, but many in the top tier are staying and finding that Bolt has opened doors to more sponsorship money.
Its in our blood
Jamaicans have more options today, said Sanya Richards-Ross, a native who first starred at Vaz Prep, moved to Pembroke Pines when she was 11, became a U.S. citizen, earned a scholarship to Texas and will compete in her third Olympics as the top-ranked 400 runner. They used to have to come to the U.S. to survive in the sport. Now theyve got resources on the island. I would never change my circumstances, but I think its great that young Jamaicans have a chance to stay with phenomenal coaches and uplift their families.
Shawn Anderson dreamed of becoming a star after finishing second in the 100 at Champs when he was 15. He knew that college recruiters, sports apparel reps, agents and rabid alumni were in the stands. But he hurt his knee playing soccer. Now hes a security guard in Bolts neighborhood.
We love tracks, and when you do something for the love of it, you do it well, he said. Its in our blood. Its part of our culture.
Said Lisa Aries of the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association: If every last person in Jamaica could go to London for the Olympics, the island would be empty.
After the meet, fans posed for photos on the medal podium. Kids raced in the blue lanes wearing flip flops, trainers or no shoes at all.
I like Usain Bolt best, 12-year-old Jordan Hoilett said. He eats lots of yams, and he run fast.
Said his friend Nicholas Henry, 11: Bolt show off too much.
No, Hoilett replied, defending Bolt. Because him working so hard, when he win he got to celebrate.

Kids Discover the Czech Opera "Rusalka"
Published on Thursday, November 3, 2011 - 8:21pm
Opera is surely not something that kids think about every day. But on November 2, the kids at Palisades Library got a taste of Czech opera in a program designed after Rusalka. Participants heard the story of Rusalka, the water nymph, and her quest to become human and gain the love of a prince. They then chose a character from the story and created a shadow puppet. It was difficult, as they had to imagine what a water nymph would look like.
After completing the puppets, the kids saw multiple images of various characters in the story such as the Prince, the foreign princess, Jezibaba the witch and Rusalka herself. We hope it gave the kids an idea of how many different ways one character can be imagined in different productions of the same opera.
One participant was so excited by the opera that she decided to put on a puppet show telling the story of the opera to her older sister and friends. She did a wonderful job manipulating the puppets. She created water for the shadow theater, and had Rusalka sink beneath the waves at the end of the opera when the prince dies.
It was a wonderful interpretation of the opera. We truly enjoyed the enthusiasm of the participants.

Servings: 8 servings
Cook Time: 20 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 cups (4 sticks) melted butter
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons ground pepper
2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended: Texas Pete)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
5 pounds unpeeled medium shrimp
2 lemons, thinly sliced
French bread, for dipping
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Stir together the butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pepper, hot sauce, garlic, and salt. Pour half this mixture into a large heatproof dish. Layer half the shrimp and half the lemon slices in the dish; then form a second layer with the remaining shrimp and lemon slices, and pour remaining sauce into the dish. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, stirring twice. Pour off the sauce into individual serving dishes. Serve the shrimp with plenty of French bread for dipping in the spicy butter sauce.
My Family and I have enjoyed every single recipe that we have ever made! Thank you for sharing over the years! Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours! We Love You!!! The Parker Family P.S. Hope to see you in Savannah soon!

Made this tonite adding more hot sauce and no lemon slices. Family loved it . Next time, I am adding more hot sauce. We like it spicy !

Sounds like Bubba shrimp to me
By Anonymous on April 24, 2013
I will definitely try this, being a Cajun this looks delicious!!! I can almost taste it..Yummmmmmy!!!
By Cynthia Menard on January 25, 2013
I'm anxious to try this recipe using shrimp without the shell. Less messy that way. Also, I don't do spicy so Texas Pete is out too.
By Sandy Scholze on May 15, 2012
Hi Y'all! Just tried this but only had a pound of shrimp, so I decided to make it a main course. Only used ONE stick of Buuuhhhhter, and modified the rest of the ingredients. Then I served it over orzo pasta and had green beans on the side. I agree with a previous poster though----not spicy at all! Texas Pete isn't really all that hot to begin with, and then you add all those other ingredients and it dilutes the hotness. Was still really lemony and yummy though. I'd make it again and put in a hotter hot sauce.
By Sharon Thompson on November 16, 2011
Can be a little more spicy but was really good.. Family skipped dinner as they were full on the shrimp...

(Paula, I am originally from Blakely, Georgia. Your show takes me back home.) My question: why would shrimp shells stick? My friend made this dish with gorgeous shrimp. The sauce was great but it was almost impossible to peel the shrimp. Thank you so much.

This recipe is fantastic. I couldn't find Texas Pete's hot sauce, but used Frank's Red Hot Sauce instead. It is one of our favorite recipes.
By Anonymous on November 22, 2009
I made this today for brunch, and everyone raved about the dish. I opted not to use the lemon slices, but added a little extra lemon juice to the sauce. I had three requests for the recipe.

Topic Outline
A tendency toward phosphate retention begins early in renal disease due to the reduction in the filtered phosphate load. Although this problem is initially mild, with hyperphosphatemia being a relatively late event, phosphate retention is intimately related to the common development of cardiovascular disease risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD), increased fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels, and secondary hyperparathyroidism (figure 1) [1-6]. These adaptive endocrine alterations are a potential concern because high circulating levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) play an important role in the development of renal osteodystrophy [7,8]. (See "Overview of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD)".)
From the viewpoint of calcium and phosphate balance, the hypersecretion of FGF-23 and PTH reflects the development of phosphate retention and are initially appropriate. FGF-23 appears to be the initial hormonal abnormality leading to increased urinary phosphate excretion and suppression of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D). PTH increases in response to reductions in 1,25(OH)2D. By increasing bone turnover and calcium phosphate release from bone and enhancing urinary phosphate excretion (via a decrease in proximal reabsorption), PTH can correct both the hypocalcemia and the hyperphosphatemia. FGF-23 is also important in the renal adaptation to maintain phosphate excretion. The effect on renal phosphate handling is manifested by a progressive reduction in the fraction of the filtered phosphate that is reabsorbed from the normal value of 80 to 95 percent to as low as 15 percent in advanced renal failure [9]. As a result, phosphate balance and a normal serum phosphate concentration are generally maintained (at the price of elevated FGF-23 and hyperparathyroidism) until the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls below 25 to 40 mL/min [2,10].
At this relatively late stage, dietary phosphate restriction may still reduce the serum concentration of phosphate, FGF-23, and PTH, although not usually to normal [2,11].As a result, oral phosphate binders are frequently required. This problem is exacerbated once maintenance dialysis is required; in this setting, there is essentially no phosphate excretion, and oral phosphate binders must be given to limit phosphate absorption [2]. In addition, levels of FGF-23 become extremely elevated, and the secondary hyperparathyroidism may contribute to the hyperphosphatemia by continuing to enhance the release of calcium phosphate from bone [12].
Hyperphosphatemia alone or in combination with a high serum calcium has been associated with increased mortality in dialysis patients [13,14]. (See "Patient survival and maintenance dialysis", section on 'Disorders of mineral metabolism'.) This association has also been observed in some [15-17], though not all [18,19], studies of patients with less advanced kidney disease.
As an example, in a retrospective study of 6730 patients with CKD (defined as two abnormal serum creatinine measurements at least six months, but no more than two years, apart) who were not on dialysis and had not received a renal transplant, after adjusting for age, renal function, comorbidities, race, gender, hemoglobin concentration, serum calcium, and elemental calcium intake from medication, the serum phosphate was independently associated with mortality, with an estimated 23 percent increased risk of death for every 1 mg/dL increase in serum phosphate concentration [15].
