Sue Hunsley - 7 May 2006
My name is Sue Hunsley and I am married to Ian. We live in Queensland Australia. My husband's greatgrandfather William Hunsley was born in Hibalstow on the 10th January 1864.
I would be interested to know if anyone could help us find the area of Hibalstow in which they lived.
Is this at all possible?
Thankyou in anticipation.

Pot Poisoning
DENVER, Colo. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Twenty states and the District of Columbia have legalized the use of medical marijuana. With the increase in availability, there has also been a rise in accidental cannabis poisonings by children. Every state is going to face this issue sooner or later.
Cookies, candy, and lollipops—they look good, but they are not your typical treats. They are medical marijuana.
Robin Hackett is doing everything she can to keep kids away from these sweets. Keeping them locked in a child-resistant container is the law in Colorado.
"It has a locking mechanism that is difficult for a small child under six years old," Robin Hackett, co-owner of Botana Care in Northglenn, Colorado, told Ivanhoe.
Child resistant packaging is required by the federal government for most pharmaceuticals and poisonous products, and it's also required for cannabis.
"It would be our advice that all jurisdictions that sell these candies and other edible products be sold with child resistant packaging," Michael J. Kosnett, MD, MPH, Associate Professor Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Colorado School of Medicine, told Ivanhoe.
Accidental pot poisonings spiked following an increase in the widespread sale of medical marijuana in Colorado in 2009.
"The majority of those kids actually did get into what we call marijuana edible products— brownies, cookies, candy, and lollipops—and our concern about those was the potentially high amounts of THC, the active ingredient of marijuana," George Wang, MD, Clinical Instructor in Pediatrics, Children's Hospital Colorado, told Ivanhoe.
In kids, THC affects the brains control of emotions, thinking, and coordination. Kids are more at risk of using other drugs, having risky sexual behavior, and there's an increased risk of suicide and psychosis.
Hackett takes cannabis security as seriously as caring for her cannabis plants. The plants will be for smoking, but it's the edibles in her shop that would be likely to attract kids. That's why Hackett goes beyond what the law requires.
"We use a special type of packaging for a child from the ages of say six to twelve, thirteen years old," Hackett said.
She uses a locking gun box for teenagers.
"As a parent you know your child. You know what type of security that you would need and the motivation of your child," Hackett explained.
The best advice is to play it safe, even with medical marijuana, and lock it up.
While several states have legalized medical marijuana, it is still illegal at the federal level. And now, for the first time in Colorado and Washington states, the use of recreational marijuana is legal.
BACKGROUND: Many teens experiment with marijuana. Friends, the portrayal of marijuana in the media, and peer pressure often affect a teenager's decision to use. Buying and using marijuana is illegal, but teen marijuana use is at its highest in 30 years, and teens are now more likely to use marijuana than tobacco. In 2011, a national study showed that one in eight 8th graders, one in four 10th graders, and one in three 12th graders have used marijuana in the past year. However, teenagers aren't the only ones consuming marijuana. From early 2005 to late 2009, Children's Hospital Colorado had exactly zero emergency-room visits by kids who had ingested marijuana. In the following two years, when medical marijuana became legal, it had 14. Studies of ER charts by Colorado doctors show that looser pot laws lead to childhood poisonings, often from mistakenly eating edibles like brownies, cookies, and lollipops.

PREVENTION: Safety packaging, as in other medicines, "is a supplement to careful parenting that has been shown to work," Dr. Michael Kosnett was quoted as saying. Many marijuana industry members agree. They favor sending goods out the door under tamper-proof seal. However, they say they would rather not break each individual joint or candy into a high-tech, lockable bag whose cost –up to $7, even in bulk—might come close to the price of the edible itself. They'll have to buy so much tamper-proof packaging that people will just make it themselves at home. The challenge is with a pound of butter and some cannabis, anybody can make edibles," Robin Hackett, co-owner of Botana Care, was quoted as saying. Hackett and other members of the Medical Marijuana Industry Group say lockboxes and larger locking bags that buyers can use to transport larger purchases home should solve most of the safety problems. Researchers say individual safety packs would be best, but Hackett's current recommendation is better than nothing. (Source: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_22912949/colorado-pot-accidents-spur-call-childproof-packaging)
EFFECTS IN CHILDREN: Prescribed doses of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana products used to control nausea from chemotherapy, is between four and 12 milligrams for children ages two to four, based on body surface area. Some "edibles" have 300 milligrams of THC, according to Dr. Kosnett. The cases of pot poisoning in children at Children's Hospital Colorado included levels of consciousness and breathing trouble. Children can also vomit from ingesting too much of a strong substance and aspirate the vomit. The median age in the 14 patients was three years, and the range was eight months to 12 years, according to an abstract of the research published in the journal Clinical Toxicology. Accidental pot poisoning in children is also dangerous because ER doctors aren't looking for it as a cause of any symptoms they see. It can lead to invasive, expensive tests, like a spinal tap or CT scan, if parents are embarrassed or scared to mention the true cause.

Click here to read the Open Letter of the President of International Society of Cryosurgery
Dear Friends,
I am happy to inform you that the Trieste Congress of the International Society of Cryosurgery founded in 1974, was a great success for both the number and the level of unparalleled scientific participants.
As decided by the General Assembly, the International Society of Cryosurgery will close its office in Trieste and will move to Monterrey, Mexico, where lives my illustrious successor, Prof. Dr. Guillermo Elizondo- Riojas, who was appointed unanimously with no abstentions or opposed and then also by acclamation as the ISC next President.
Congratulations to him, and a fervent hope of good work also to our new Vice-President Dr. Pedro Torrecillas and to the next Meeting President Professor Dr. Carlos Hernandez. In Madrid Spain, where it was agreed to be held the next congress in 2013.
I sincerely thank my personal friend and Board Officer, Professor George Prokhorof and all the Members of the assembly meeting for my appointment as Honorary President.
Thanks to Professor Odysseas Zoras for his precious and continuous support as Vicepresident during the 6 years of my terms.
Have been truly unprecedented, exciting and challenging these 6-year of Presidency with three World Conferences and, beyond the customary speeches, I have to thank first of all the Full Members of Trieste who have supported me and have worked for free for the Society: first of all dr. Michela Miotti, my wife and secretary of ISC, then Sabrina, Walter, Carlo, Fulvio, Elena and all the Others. Without them nothing would have been possible of what ISC did.
I renew my personal and ISC founded in 1974 gratitude, to our Founding Fathers that, since 1974, have always maintained and have always confirmed our continuity to the ISC that was founded by them: Professor Giovanni Sesia and Professor Richard Ablin both with written evidence, and Professor Richard Ablin also with his honorable presence at the meeting. THANK YOU!
Thank you to all those who have participated in this conference bringing your valuable scientific contribution to cryotherapy.
Many thanks go also to those, and they are many, who have written me apologizing their inability to be present this time but still supporting ISC: thanks again!
Thanks to Professor Seif Randjibar Daemi and to ICTP for the important support in the meeting organization.
Thanks to its co-chairman Dr. Roberto Salvioni for his friendly support.
In our hearts will always remain vivid gratitude to you all for these years of working together!
Finally, a fitting salute and a fervent best wishes also go to the friends of the International Society of Cryosurgery, sister society recently founded on October 7 in Wien, Austria, and in particular to its newly elected President, Dr. Nikolai Korpan University Professor, to its Vice Presidents, Professor Dr. Peter Littrup and Dr. Kecheng Xu as well as to its Honorary President Professor Sajio Sumida.
At this point we want to give a public thanks to Professor Peter Littrup, Vice-President of the International Society of Cryosurgery of Wien, Austria, for his significant contribution and participation to our Trieste, Italy 16th World Congress of Cryosurgery of the International Society of Cryosurgery founded in1974.
The presence of Professor Peter Littrup in Trieste, Italy, and the friendship that he has proven to us all, and me in particular, demonstrates unambiguously and beyond any doubt the level of trust, respect and partnership that binds all the experts in cryosurgery of the world beyond any momentary bit of difference.
In closing a wish: that the meeting in Madrid see us all still united in the certainty that, as proven in Trieste, if until yesterday we were in the past of cryosurgery, today we are already in the future.
Thank you all and all the best,
Franco Lugnani MD
President of ISC

Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.

Kelowna News
As national non-smoking week kicks off, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is placing pressure on the BC government to increase restrictions on outdoor smoking.
Jerilynn Maki, the health promotions coordinator for the CCS in Kelowna, says while BC actually has the lowest smoking rate in Canada, at 14 per cent, it could always be better.
"This year's theme for national non-smoking week is 'live, work, play - even better smoke free' and the Canadian Cancer Society really wanted to promote that theme this year by encouraging the BC government to have smoke free outdoor spaces."
The City of Kelowna has already taken steps to eliminate smoking in public parks and beaches, with smoke-free zones being implemented back in 2011.
Maki says while the CCS applauds the city for its anti-smoking by-laws more could still be done.
"You can still smoke on restaurant and pub patios. We would love if the provincial government would pass legislation on all restaurant and pub patios, that way it's an even playing field."
However Ian Wilson, the Park Services Manager at City of Kelowna, says the provincial legislation that prohibits smoking three metres from a door way or window is already heading in the right direction.
"This would impact a lot of patios, especially as the city was looking at Bernard. With the new look of Bernard there may be patios that are right outside business doors, so it could be limited with what you can do in terms of smoking," says Wilson.
According to the Ministry of Health, it doesn't look like a these restrictions will be provincially enforced anytime soon.
"We're recommending municipalities make these decisions," says B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid.
The CCS says tobacco is still the leading cause of preventable death in BC and the entire country with 37,000 Canadians and 6,000 British Columbians dying each year from tobacco related illnesses, including cancer.
Smoking causes the BC economy approximately 2.3 billion dollars each year according to the CCS.

Earlier this year, the nuclear crisis in Japan led to a run on potassium iodide (KI) supplements in health food stores and pharmacies across America. This highlights many issues that I have with the American psyche. We're proactive to a point, but often our actions are misguided and based more upon emotion than logic.
There's no question that potassium iodide is indicated when someone is exposed to significant amounts of nuclear radiation. But even then, it's a lot like handing out bulletproof vests during a gunfight. Yes, the vest can protect against a bullet to the chest, but what if the bullet strikes the head? Similarly, potassium iodide prevents radioactive iodine from accumulating in the thyroid gland, but it won't protect against the damaging effects of other radioactive particles.
And let's be frank. Even during the height of the crisis in Japan, significant radiation exposure on the US mainland was never very likely, so the run on KI was completely unnecessary. On the other hand, what is likely—and, in fact, very common—is daily exposure to various forms of low-level radiation. From microwave ovens to airport security scanners, there are radiation sources all around us. And that's why it makes sense to take a proactive, "whole body armor" approach to protect against the cumulative effects of low-to-moderate radiation exposure.
Rational Recommendations
In addition to the basic healthy regimen that most everyone should follow—a high-potency multivitamin/multimineral; a high-quality greens drink; and a pharmaceutical-grade fish oil—I recommend some specific foods and a few supplements to help protect against background radiation. Useful foods include:
Antioxidant Supplements: What to Take As for supplements, I recommend taking a flavonoid-rich extract such as green tea, grape seed, Pycnogenol, or Ginkgo biloba at a dosage of at least 100 mg daily, but ideally 300 mg. Flavonoids appear to reduce the formation of clastogenic factors that appear in the blood of people exposed to radiation and may persist for over 30 years. These factors are associated with an increased risk for radiation-induced cancers. Chernobyl workers given ginkgo extract for 2 months had clastogenic factors disappear from their blood. The workers were followed for one year, and it was found that the anti-clastogenic effect persisted for 7 months in most cases. I believe that other flavonoid-rich extracts may offer the same sort of benefits and I would recommend their continued, indefinite use in anyone exposed to significant levels of radiation.
Lastly, I think it's a good idea to take advantage of the adaptogenic and protective effects offered by such herbal tonics as Siberian ginseng, ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Panax ginseng, and rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea). Though any one of these adaptogens would be useful on their own, I prefer combination formulas. Here are the levels of these three adaptogens that I prefer:
I generally recommend these formulas to help people experiencing chronic stress or adrenal exhaustion, but it is also a valuable every day tonic to a better life. In particular, I love the research on Sensoril, a patented extract of ashwagandha. Sensoril works with the body's natural biological systems to help restore balance and normalize body functions. Among other things, Sensoril:
* Helps counteract the negative effects of stress. * Increases resistance to fatigue. * Promotes improved sleep quality and higher energy levels. * Helps promote mental clarity and concentration. These are effects most of us could use during these stressful times.
Again, the real key is to be proactive in protecting your health against radiation rather than gulping down potassium iodide during a scare. A more comprehensive, rational approach will provide health benefits that last far longer than today's headlines.
Potassium Pros
There's no question that potassium iodide (KI) should be used in cases of significant radiation exposure. When used to counteract the effects of large amounts of radiation, the recommended dosage is generally quite high (130 mg), and KI's benefits are very short lived. Such high dosages in the absence of significant radiation exposure, however, can be harmful. Too much iodine (dosages in excess of 1,000 mcg per day) may inhibit thyroid hormone secretion, especially in individuals with hypothyroidism. Increased dietary intake of iodine is also associated with acne-like skin eruptions and other side effects.
So while it makes sense to have potassium iodide on hand in case of a nuclear catastrophe, regularly taking massive dosages is likely to do more harm than good. If you want to take KI preventatively, try a dosage of 150—300 mcg daily. Intake at these levels will likely saturate iodine stores in a much safer manner.

A few of the many reasons for the growing popularity of wine. Some wine facts, a little bit of history and wine reviews from an amateur wine lover for the amateur wine lovers
Wednesday, December 24, 2008
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the Italians changed the Arabic word gharrafa, (a vessel used to hold coffee), to caraffa. But the Italians not only used it to hold coffee, they also used it to hold wine. In the 1700's, the French changed caraffa to carafe. Today, a carafe is a bottle shaped container, with a wide bottom and a flaring lip, used to hold beverages for immediate consumption. Most carafes also have narrower necks than the bottom or lip. There are three types of carafes:
1) Insulated carafes can hold either cold or hot liquids. Constructed like a thermos bottle, they have a glass inner liner, a metal or plastic outer shell, with an air pocket in between and a lid. The lid aids in keeping the liquid at a constant temperature, for an hour or more. But while the thermos bottle has a screw-on lid, the carafe lid will have one of three options: 1) If the carafe has a pouring lip, the lid that rests inside the lip will not have to be lifted. 2) A flip lids allows the user to open half of the lid when pouring the liquid. and 3) A pump lid is a lid that when pushed down, releases the liquid through a spigot attached to the lid.
2) A bedside glass carafe is used to keep water by the bed. This carafe holds one or two glasses of water and has a removable drinking glass that fits upside down on top of the carafe. These are still used today in hotels, bed & breakfasts, and by private individuals.
3) The last type of carafe holds liquids at room temperature, including oil and vinegar, fruit juice and wine as an example. At a restaurant, this allow the customer to pour the amount of liquid they desire. And at a party, allows the hostess to socialize with the guests, while the guests have access to the liquid at their convenience.
Today, carafes are made out of glass and crystal, metal such as copper, chrome, silver and stainless steel, plastic, ceramic and earthenware. They can be clear glass or colored, plain designed, cut-glass in the case of crystal, theme designed, monogrammed, or have your logo etched on the side. Carafes may be purchase to hold anywhere from 8 ounces to a magnum of wine. Available at wine shops, specialty stores, department stores and restaurant supply stores, expect to pay anywhere from $5 for a plastic carafe to $400 for a cut glass crystal carafe with four matching glasses.

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, Dec. 16 (HealthDay News) -- People with acute
abdominal pain who go to a hospital emergency department feel more
confident about their diagnosis when they have a CT scan, a new
study finds.
But nearly three-quarters of patients underestimate the
radiation risk posed by this type of imaging test, the study
The researchers surveyed 1,168 patients with abdominal pain not
caused by injury. Only 20 percent said they had confidence in a
diagnosis reached after an evaluation using patient history and
physical exam only. But 90 percent had confidence in a diagnosis
reached after an evaluation that included patient history, physical
exam, blood work and CT scan.
The study also found that 75 percent of patients underestimated
the amount of radiation delivered by a CT scan, and only 3 percent
understood that CT scans increase a person's lifetime risk of
cancer. It's estimated that 1.5 percent to 2 percent of all cancers
in the United States may be attributable to CT scan radiation.
The study was published online Dec. 10 in the
Annals of Emergency Medicine.
"Patients with abdominal pain are 4 times more confident in an exam that includes imaging than in an exam that has no testing," lead author Dr. Brigitte M. Baumann, of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Camden, said in a journal news release.
"Most of the patients in our study had little understanding of the amount of radiation delivered in one CT scan, never mind several over the course of a lifetime. Many of the patients did not recall earlier CT scans, even though they were listed in electronic medical records," she added.
"A recent FDA initiative aimed at reducing unnecessary radiation exposure from medical imaging is primarily focused on physician practices and providing patients with a record of their imaging history," Baumann noted.
"This is commendable, but it does not address patient expectations. Our findings demonstrated that current patient awareness efforts are not sufficient. As great a diagnostic tool as CT is, we need to do a better job of educating our patients about the risks associated with CT scans."

Las Vegas, Nev. - The New Orleans Pelicans fall 87-82 to Denver in the NBA Summer League championships Wednesday... single elimination... can't win it, but will play Washington Friday in a loser's bracket game.
Starting Monday, Jrue Holiday, Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis will begin working out with USA Basketball, also in Las Vegas.
Overall, the young players performing in the summer league made some impressive strides. 2nd year guard Brian Roberts has shown great poise. But, remember, he's 26 and has pro experience playing abroad, which can only help his cause.
Forward Darius Miller has become more aggressive with the ball. Look at the 23 he scored Wednesday in a losing cause.
And, the fact the youngsters were getting blown out early but scratched back didn't go unnoticed by coach Monty Williams.
Williams said Thursday "Well, obviously we like our young guys getting more experience. Austin, and Brian, and Darius. And then we have a couple of guys that we want to take a look at. Maybe we bring them to camp, I'm not sure. Dell and I will discuss that along with Mickey (Loomis), but we want our guys to be in situations like this when they're down and see how they respond."

Operating a bucket truck requires the user to be extra careful for good results to be realized. It is very important to observe safety during operation of these trucks as accidents might turn out to be very dangerous to workers. It is thus advisable to adopt a proactive approach to this whole situation to avert all possibilities of accidents that can be avoided. There are various things that one needs to know about the trucks and the how it works and what is required of all those operating it. This will help making good decisions during various stages of the job to ensure the right thing is always done.
The first safety measure is for all operators of the truck to be qualified in whatever part of the job they are doing and the members have to be alert at the work place in case of anything. Being alert comes with certain qualities as being healthy and sober to be able to act fast whenever drastic decisions are to be made. It is thus good to get medical guide on whether one should go to work or not before using the bucket truck. Accidents associated with the trucks are usually very dangerous and many have led to death hence the need to be cautious.
Another thing that one ought to do is be well versed with all the rules of the job. Be sure to go by all the rules to ensure all safety measures are adhered to during the job. Following rules has been a major approach to safety at work over the years and many lives have been saved. It is good to ensure that all the rules are well-understood for one to realize their importance in the job place. However long it may take, it is because life is at stake in this job and all has to be done to ensure it is not lost.
It is also good to know all the equipment being used in the job and how they are operated. Make sure that all machines are used for the right job all the time to avoid accidents and damages that could have been avoided. One can learn this by asking experts and going through manuals from manufacturers. It is also good to know all the safety options such as escape points and being well protected during the job time. One should wear all the safety gear for their own benefit and these include helmets, gloves, goggles, overalls, safety harnesses and being connected to lifelines where possible.
Observation of safety measures has made it easy for workers to successfully complete very complex projects all the time. The probability of productivity is usually very high when a worker feels safe even in dangerous places. A peaceful mind gets to focus better than one that is preoccupied by thoughts of accidents all the time. The next time one gets to the workplace, they ought to consider all the above for result-oriented use of a bucket truck.
Safety is the #1 more important thing when you are operating any of these trucks. For more information about bucket trucks and how you can stay safe, visit my friends over at www.centraltrucksales.net

The election is over. The Democratic Party did fairly well. They hold the presidency, held the Senate, even picking up a few seats, and closed the gap in the House.
I think the GOP lost the big battles because, as many other critics have said, "They live in a bubble of Tea Party pundits, conservatives and AM talk radio hosts."
I saw a bumper sticker today that sums up my feelings perfectly, it said, "I'm too informed to vote Republican!" I'll send one to Larry Rapchak.

Chinchillas have great appeal, like cuddly little "balls of fur". Their exceedingly soft, dense coat has more fur per square inch than any other known mammal!

I bought a Chinchilla two days ago. The first night at about 11 PM, I move him out for a walk inside my room. After a while he suddenly started shaking. It seemed like he couldn't breath. Then I saw some water coming from his mouth. It was like a gel. He puked little bit. Closed his eyes slowly. Then frozen for 2-3 min. long. I thought he died. After 3 min he started jumping like nothing happened. Next day, on the same hour he repeated it again. Same events one by one. Is there anyone knows the reason, or had the same situation?

Hi! I have a 19-year old chinchilla and because of his age I'm constantly prepared for him to die in the near future. My male chinchilla used to have a female companion, unfortunately she died this spring 20 years old. My male have this past week been acting strange, in the nights he is constantly digging so that all the bedding is put in a big pile while half of the cage (of where he've moved his bedding from) is empty. Some say that it is because they are too hot but he never lay in the empty spot, instead he's laying in the pile? He is also moving his foodbowl and throwing food out of it, although he also seem to eat much more at the same time. I need to fill the bowl more often than I used to. He has been acting this way the past 1-2 weeks now, according to my family his female companion used to behave the same way her last week before she got sick and just sat in a corner not moving nor eating, should I assume that my chinchilla will die soon because of the new behavior? :( Sure he is 19 years old so he's reaaally old, but he's had his ups and downs and has always gotten better...

Hello. I have enjoyed looking at the pictures you have of chinchillas. Chinchillas make wonderful pets. Rabbit cages are really not suitable for chinchillas, as chinchillas need enough height to climb and jump. An appropriate chinchilla cages should have at least 2 levels (more are desirable) so that the chinchilla may jump from level to level. Store purchased cages are generally not suitable for chinchillas as they are usually too small, too short, and made of plastic. Chinchillas like to chew and will chew up plastic shelves, plastic clamps, etc ... which will not only destroy your cage, but will also make your chinchilla sick. The best thing to do is to make your own chinchilla cage; you just have to make sure that all wood used to create a cage is untreated by chemicals and pesticides. Chinchillas will also chew wood, so the majority of the cage should be constructed from wire. Wire mesh cage bottoms are not acceptable for chinchillas. A chinchilla can catch a toe or toenail in the wire bottoms and end up with a broken leg. Cage bottoms should be covered with some kind of soft bedding. Aspen shavings or CareFresh bedding are the most appropriate choices. Pine can be used, but only if it's kiln dried, so as to remove the aromatic oils. If your cage only has 2 levels, your chin will need lots of exercise; an exercise wheel is a good choice, but only if it is of solid construction. Again, an open mesh wheel can catch the toes or toenails of a chinchilla, causing broken limbs. I would encourage anyone interested in owning a chinchilla or anyone who already has a chinchilla to do more research on the proper care of these unique animals. Also, if you are in the market for a chinchilla, please consider a chinchilla rescue before purchasing one from a pet store. Many animal shelters have abandoned chinchillas available for adoption.

My daughter noticed her chinchilla has two red/pink bumps (about 1cm across & bulging out 1cm) on his haunch/butt that are symmetrical (closer to his tail than his genitals). They seem less prominent now than yesterday. I don't see anything like it on any of the anatomy photos. Are they something to worry about?

After the Hurricanes 52-45 victory at Duke ended his teams 2012 campaign, Miami coach Al Golden reiterated how much the 17 seniors meant to the program especially in light of them sacrificing bowl games that would have ended their last two seasons with fun weeks as rewards.
Usually available Sunday for a game-follow teleconference, Golden will instead meet with the media Tuesday to wrap up the season and look ahead to 2013.
Weve given up a lot, Golden said after the game. We gave up a bowl game last year. Weve given up a bowl game this year. Now weve given up a [postseason] game in Charlotte [N.C.] a championship in Charlotte.
Weve given up three games in the postseason to right the ship, and were really grateful to the team and the seniors. What a huge sacrifice when you think about it. They didnt ask for it. They led us all week. This was tough. Dont diminish for a second how hard it is to get the guys motivated and focused [after the bowl-ban announcement].
We needed that senior leadership and the seniors did it. I thought they represented the program and the university with class and an incredible amount of integrity. They didnt displace anything on anybody else. They didnt point the finger years past or anything.
Its a credit to them that we won because emotionally we didnt have much in the tank.
Running back Mike James and cornerback Brandon McGee, the lone senior starters on offense and defense, respectively, will now be among those who begin training for the NFL Draft, scheduled for April 25-27.
Were elated, McGee said Saturday after leaving his teammates to speak to the media. That locker room is full of energy right now and guys arent down on themselves. We understand the circumstances and we have to deal with them and move forward as a program.
James said hell begin his strength and conditioning program Monday.
Ive got to find a job now, James said, laughing.
According to UM, James and senior safety Vaughn Telemaque each saw action for the Hurricanes for the 50th time in their careers, tying for the fourth-most games played in program history. James played in all 50 games in his career, tying for the second-most consecutive at Miami.
Senior Jake Wieclaw, who also dreams of playing in the NFL, said recently that he absolutely felt blessed to have been able to go to three bowl games during his UM career the Emerald in San Francisco, the Champs Sports in Orlando and the Sun in El Paso.
Now that its coming to an end you realize how fortunate you are, he said. How many people get to play on a Division I football team?
Wieclaw had noted that since UM won the Atlantic Coast Conferences Coastal Division, which it accomplished with the win over Duke, we can say weve done something that has never been done at the University of Miami. There arent a lot of things that havent been done at UM, so that would be pretty cool.
Miami scored at least 40 points for the third consecutive game and for the sixth time in 2012.
But the UM sports communications office mistakenly reported that the Hurricanes 646 yards Saturday were the third-most in program history and most since UMs 689 yards against UCLA in 1998.
Actually, UM produced 651 total yards against North Carolina State on Sept. 29.
That result is the third-best in UM history, behind the 689 against UCLA and the 655 against Boston College in 1984.
The 646 yards gained this past weekend would stand as fourth-most in school history.

I knew this day would finally arrive, and it sure is a milestone at that. Take a look at the counter down on the right menu, it's finally ticked over the 1,000,000 mark! Of that number about 760,000 have been unique visitors from around the globe. I've never dreamed that in such a short time I'd reach so many people, and it sure is good to see that these guides have helped people out countless times. With all that said, I'd like to thank everyone for their patronage, from the early days right up to recent times.
Now is probably a good time to think about the future of the site as well. As long as Zophar's Domain are willing to host these walls, we'll be sticking around for good. Keeping up with the tide of MM games Capcom release each year is near impossible, especially with life's complex events so I'm unsure if I'll ever write up another detailed guide. Although there's always a chance I might pick up on the Zero series, especially with the release of Mega Man Zero 3 closing in on Japan. I'm currently working with Heat Man over at Planet Mega Man on the Battle Network series, so hopefully one of these days new guides will appear over there. But for now never forget where you can find guides in the friendly MM community for the classic games - right here.
The Tides of Time

Time really does catch up on you, doesn't it? We're still going strong here, so don't ever worry about the site disappearing forever (heck, even if that did happen my content would still be found at PMM, so it wouldn't be all bad. But this is going way off topic so I'd better get on with the update). Xaroxantu Zero has asked me to promote a new fanart site,
. But this won't be any old MM fanart site, here Xaroxantu promises to have top-quality professional fanart available from budding artists across the globe. There isn't much to see there yet except for a super Flash teaser, but it'll be a place where the talented artists of the community (come on, we all know you're out there, don't deny your awesome talent) can showcase their fantastic Capcom-rivalling work. Keep checking the site throughout the year, I'm sure it'll be brimming with activity in no time!

Just a quick update, Planet Mega Man's moving servers and can now be found at

Didn't I say stuff would be happening soon? Well, the bad news is that the BN guide is still under development (heck, it's a huge game), but the good news is that I've finally written up guides for Mega Man 1-5 for the original Game Boy system. At last I've scraped together our first beefy update of the year, but rest assured it certainly isn't the last. I'll now be working totally on the BN guide, so you'll be seeing it here soon. Take a look at the GB guides through the Mega Man link on the left. Enjoy!
We're not dead yet

I know, I know, it's been three months without a peep of updates, but rest assured, new stuff's coming. I'm currently in the works with Heat Man of PMM on a Mega Man Battle Network guide, which will debut at PMM before shortly afterwards appearing here. We'll be working on guides for the entire BN series, but these games are huge, it'll take some time to go through them all. Of course I'll also continue our MMX and MMZ series coverage once MMX7 and MMZ2 come out in October and hopefully at some time Ill get around to the MML series, but for now BN's got my attention. Keep an eye on PMM for the BN guide. And yes, we're not dead.
More Releases for Australia/Possible New Guides
28th March 2003

Yikes, a month between updates, but at least we've still got the content to hold on. It looks like Capcom's really borken the drought of MM games here in Australia, as
has listed a slew of new upcoming games to release here. This includes Mega Man Transmission, MM Battle Network 3 (Both versions), MM&Bass, and the controvertial PC version of Mega Man X6. All the releases are subject to change of course, but only time will tell if they hold out.
In other news, I've been considering expanding our coverage of MM series, with the first game in question to be Mega Man Legends. If I can track down an elusive PAL copy of the game, expect to see a new game section soon after. I might also be enhancing the look of all the guides within the next month, so hopefully updates will be more frequent in the near future. Unless some other
keeps me occupied for a few days. Or months. After all, only a few more days to wait...
Planet Mega Man Opens

Well, the day has finally arrived and PMM has opened its doors to the public. For now you'll be able to reach the site
, soon it'll have it's own domain name which shouldn't be far off. Not much else going here in regard to updates, so I'm afraid to say that any new updates will be few and far between. From now on I'll be helping out with the staff at PMM, so expect to see new stuff appearing there from our end of the woods soon.

Sorry about the lack of any new content over the past month or so, but it's been a busy time for me as this entire year will be as well, but working with Zero X Phoenix and a team of other webmasters, we've been preparing for the launch of Planet Mega Man. The site design's finished and a few touches are all that's left before launch, so I'll make a note of it here once the site launches. Head over to

Happy new year everyone! There's been some events occurring recently in the community, some good, and some bad. First the bad news. One of our longest running affiliates, Mega Man Masters, has closed down after six years of service. This great site was a massive resource for hundreds of Mega Man-related material, but Nightmare Zero (the owner) hinted that U.M.M.X.Z.W might offer some of the material that was on his site. I'd just like to take a moment to thank Nightmare Zero for having a great site for the community, as well as being a great affiliate to this site. In other news, Megaman Outpost and the Megaman Network, two of the biggest MM sites around, are merging to form a massive site that should launch in a few days. Be sure to check out both sites as they'll have loads of content once it launches.
I'll be trying my best over the next few weeks to get the MM: Battle Network guide finished, I've just had a
along the way - nothing to worry about, but I'm sure many of you would understand.

Look for overseas exposure
Europe and Asia help to prop up stocks as the US economy sags.
If you do business overseas, a lot of business overseas, it looks like that is the difference maker. People keep asking me how, given all of the downbeat activity in this country, it possible that so many of our companies are doing well, I keep coming back to "how much Europe and how much China do they have?"
I think Washington truly did hurt the U.S. economy, but the U.S. economy has become all about housing and autos. While I think that the latter remains strong, the housing market has gotten much weaker. That's a large purpose that needs confidence and if there is waning confidence, as we all know from the confidence polls, then there will be fewer homes purchased and fewer new homes built. There will be less money spent on a home, which is why all of those groups, including Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW), fell despite the rally after the deal.
Now, like anything in this market, things have gotten very relative. If the whole market has been pulled up except the housing stocks, then I think it is fair to say that they can't fall much. But still, when the averages are this high you are going to be left behind if you aren't in the stocks of companies that are leveraged to the world's economies.
Case in point: General Electric (GE). GE has spent years trying to become independent of the United States. The timing was hideous because the expansion was heavy into Europe at a time of a big decline and into China when China was pausing. But if you go through the numbers last week you realize that GE was saved by Europe and Asia. That's one of the reasons why I think GE is just beginning to go higher and while there were plenty of doubters, particularly those focused on the revenues, it was all about the margin expansion that GE is now going to have as things get better. They've taken out a huge amount of costs without cutting back in their reach.
I am betting when we hear Ford (F) talk this week it will be similar. Ford didn't need to distance itself from the U.S. because car sales somehow came to be more secular than cyclical because of the age of the auto fleet in this country. Given that gasoline's never come down -- notice that? -- despite all the oil we have found, the payback for a car with heavy incentives is pretty decent. Plus, as more people are hired, more need cars. But Europe is what crushed Ford, not the U.S., and if you notice, Ford still isn't back to where it was almost three years ago, again because of Europe.
It's all about leverage right now. Who has leverage to the very markets that hurt companies so badly? Who is not going to have the swing from red to black pretty much in the way General Electric did?
That's why I am not as concerned about confidence data. I am not talking about buying the shares of Horton (DHI) or Pulte (PHM).
But one more word on those. When all stocks have run this high, even these stocks can be pulled up by the entire tide. In other words, they are not good shorts. They just aren't great longs.
Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, is long F and LOW.
More from TheStreet.com
SEEMS YEARS AGO TO HAVE this exposure, you would get bombarded with advice to buy or stay invested in certain Funds invested in Japan, Europe or SAmerica, then eventually China or India..
We finally got tired of Political strife or changing economies in those areas, ridding ourselves of Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese and Euro investments...
And just go after larger positions in Multi-Nationals, and let them worry about how they will invest or profit from business in the other Countries...
I found they could do a better job at the decisions, then we could; And their exposures are layered in all the locations for diversification and profitable operations....or not.
And a few of dozens are mentioned in the article..
Barry, I`ve got news for you.After working my way up to Distribution manager I retired 2 years
ago.Now they want me to come out of retirement and work full time.I declined.However,I`m going
to do consulting work for them for big bucks.I`ll make some training videos and help in other ways
for as much or few hours as I choose.
NTU.....Yeah, pretty much true; But we have to remember all our trading partners have their own Central banks propping up their economies or injections from the IMFs or Governments.
Seems their biggest fears are of tapering by our own FED, probably causing World inflation spreading from here, and tipping the scales back to another major recession on a Global level...
If our Consumers aren't buying and theirs are already in trouble, it becomes a dire situation to many of those trading partners..
One of my biggest concerns are of Foreign investment in this Country of Real Estate, and outright ownership of established Corporations...And next is inroads to our Energy Sectors...Or Infrastructure.
"".....Obamacare is a disaster, a train wreck and slowly but surely even the libtards and low information voters will realize it...""
It never ceases to amaze me the way that people talk about the ACA. It seems as if they're Monday morning quarter backing during the first play of the game. We have a ways to go before we see if the ACA will work or not.
If you just look at the Massive Recession the Economy had to deal with coming out of the Financial Crisis, it's literally a Miracle the Markets are doing as well as they have. Record setting comebacks. We can debate all day long as to why along with Monopoly Money involved. Fact is, the vast Majority of that Monopoly Money was created before Obama took office. $500-700Trillion plus in Scam Derivatives and counting.
They would tell you if you didn't have a JOB, that's a YOU problem. So when you go on these sites mainly used by Republicans, RECS won't give you a true indications most times to what the American Majority actually thinks. Fact is, most folks are too busy surviving to get involved in the Details which affects their lives.
We all should be more involved but I can understand the difficulty when Corporations are refusing to pay a living wage and most outlets to better wages have either been outsourced and or dismantled.

The Fed plans to keep the interest rate low through the year 2014, but we are still a short time away from another showdown in Washington regarding the debt ceiling. In the meantime, what happens on Wall Street doesn't stay there. Too many people believe that the global or national problems won't impact them, but it does. It trickles down to employment, access to money, and assistance programs. When things get tougher, which they could, these things dry up. We have an economic problem that took decades to create, it will take years, maybe more than a decade to fix it. Wealth consultant James Studinger explains what you should do now to protect your household's bottom line during these tough times.

"Love the quality of the paper. For the square designs, the "Happy New Year" greeting font could be smaller so that it doesn't overwhelm the main photo."
"Great card. Since it was square and would have required extra postage I got the rectangular envelopes that square card fits in but no extra postage requird. They were very tight to get card in and only fit one way. Would not get these envelopes again!"
"I've received many compliments on my card! I was behind and didn't get Christmas cards done in time so did this instead. I think my friends spent more time looking and admiring my card because the rush of the holidays was over. The paper feels like a fine heavy quality and the layout is attractive. I was very pleased. Be sure to get the larger envelopes because the post office charges .20 more per card for square ones."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"Love the colour palette and simplicity of this card. I like that the layout offered maximum space for good-sized pictures without a cluttered look. I changed the back layout to include 2 pictures which still allowed for personalized messages to be written between them and the footer. I chose the light gray with pearl white shimmer and metallic silver envelopes - happy with those additions. Also impressed with the designers' post-order service to help me better accomodate my pictures since the preset sizes didn't quite work with one of the photos. Pleased with the modern feel of our fun New Year's card!"

The FM dial is opening this year, and building community radio stations could give the labor movement a powerful megaphone. In October unions and nonprofits will be eligible to apply for thousands of free, noncommercial FM radio licenses in cities and towns across the country. The Prometheus Radio Project, a nonprofit founded by radio activists in 1998, is ready to guide local unions through the process. Photo: The Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida runs a WCIW, "La Tyua," which airs in five languages and aids in organizing farmworkers and movement-building.
In Bangladesh's chaotic industrial center, perhaps no one wielded power more brazenly than Sohel Rana. He traveled by motorcycle, as untouchable as a mafia don, trailed by his own biker gang. He allegedly was involved in illegal drugs and guns, but he also had a building that housed five factories. Upstairs, workers earned as little as $40 a month making clothes for global retailers. Now Rana, 35, is under arrest, the most reviled man in Bangladesh after the horrific collapse of Rana Plaza last week left nearly 400 people dead, with many others still missing.
The AFL-CIO lays out five key points about the House Republican-backed bill, the so-called "Working Familes Flexibility Act," that would allow employers to stop paying overtime and substitute "comp time" instead.
It's here: The (Guild-represented) Restaurant Opportunities Centers United's annual guide to eating out ethically, telling you which restaurants are doing a lousy job with pay and benefits and which ones are worth your support as a diner.

Can unions or artists' guilds serve and protect an embattled creative class? With musicians typically operating without record labels, journalists increasingly working as freelancers as newspapers shed staff, and book publishing beginning what looks like a period of compression, unions might take some of the risk and sting out of our current state of creative destruction.
All but one of the 22 CWA members at Brooklyn Cablevision who were fired in January are back on the job. Through email, Facebook, petitions and rallies, more than 100,000 people showed their support for the workers, who have been trying for the last year to negotiate a fair contract after an organizing victory in early 2012. When 22 workers asked to speak to a manager about the bargaining situation, they were summarily fired.
Steelworkers President Leo Gerard is among those worrying that the loss of Ed Schultz from the weekday 8 p.m. slot on MSNBC will hurt the middle class, because Schultz has been such a champion for America's working famliies. And Charlie Kernaghan, director of the Institute for Global Labor and Human Rights, wonders if NBC's corporate structure was tied-in: "The problem is that the ownership of Comcast—they're not pro-union in any way. They're like extremists and I think that certainly has something to do with it," he said.
The AFL-CIO has materials available to help union locals prepare to mark Workers Memorial Day on April 28, which honors workers who have been hurt and killed on the job.
In a meeting earlier this week, several members of the New York City Council accused Cablevision Corp. of engaging in "union-busting" tactics that included unfairly dismissing 22 workers, members of CWA, last month. Photo: CWA members call on the City Council to hold Cablevision accountable for labor violations.
Sick and tired of the "union thug" stereotype? The fact is, union members do important and difficult jobs all over the United States, and now there's an AFL-CIO web page highlighting your hard work and the many ways unions give back to their communities. Too many people don't know, says AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler, "That innovative work by union members fuels today's green technology. And that union members supply a great deal of the man- and woman-power, as well as the funding for community service programs, from running food drives to disaster recovery and winning health care benefits for people who don't belong to unions."

A nostalgic form of entertainment could be making a big comeback in Rutherford County, as a developer wants to bring a drive-in movie theater to a piece of land that is already full of history.
But the plans are already drawing some concerns from neighbors.
"We're hoping, actually, it will be the largest single-screen drive-in theater in the United States," said Ted Goodman, attorney for the developers.
The proposed site at the corner of Old Nashville Highway and Florence Road sits on 28 acres now covered by trees. And the plan calls for reusing buildings that were once part of Nashville's original airport.
"We're going to have an indoor movie theater as well. There's going to be play structures for children," Goodman said. "It's going to be a real, good family thing. There will be more to do than just seeing the movie."
The developer is Black Eagle Holding, owned by a Rutherford County family. They say the project would create plenty of jobs along with family fun, including an arcade.
However, neighbors already have concerns - mainly the traffic that the theater would bring. The developer says moving the entrance to Florence Road would help.
"It's a three-lane road. It is well suited to handle traffic from this. And also the ticket booths are going to be 40 to 80 cars deep into the property," Goodman said.
The movie screen will also be deep in the trees so drivers and homeowners won't be distracted.
"There's not going to be stadium speakers blaring sound out into the community. It's going to be FM to people's cars," Goodman said.
Developers are asking for input from the community at the Board of Zoning Appeals hearing Aug. 14 and through the Murfreesboro Drive-In Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/TheMurfreesboroDriveIn.

She too is a magic user like her cousin but she has a rare ability to suck the powers of any magic user around her when she unbraids her hair, turning a distinctive blue color which earned her the nickname from her terrified fellow classmates "Midnight Blue Vampire." Tanarotte Described as being "Unknown". A young, well-endowed, familiar that was summoned by Takuto but it is unknown if she is a god or a demon. She is physically strong as well, able to hold off a small army of Golem units with only a single hand.

She was the last and greatest masterpiece of a powerful dark magician and alchemist who died long ago leaving her alone without even naming her.

It doesn't have to be electrical.
Xbox 360. What a joke the first 2 (3?) years of this console was. Rushed to market to beat the PS3, was plagued from day one by shoddy power supplies and horrible heating issues that caused the CPU/GPU to come lose from the motherboard. Nasty cheap DVD drives that damage disks.
MS only managed to avoid being sued into the ground by issuing a 3 year warranty extension for the motherboard issue.
