They didn't fix it. It still works the same, it still makes the noise, the light's still on. I called them back because at the time I was able to go there they were not open, which is fine. I tried to call back, they didn't call back. They said if the light was still on to go back to the shop, they didn't fix it. I mean they were very nice and helpful, it's just the car is still not working.
I had work done and 2 weeks later, while on a road trip, about 350 miles from Maryland, found out that I was leaking transmission fluid, about a quart low, out of the parts that were replaced by Cottman. On top of spending $600 on repairs the original time from Cottman, I had to spend an additional $100 to repair the work.

Mozart for Mother's Day Concert at Downtown Library
"M" is for "Mother" and "the million things she gave me," but "M" can also stand for "Mozart."
But on Sunday, May 9, at the Downtown Library, 300 Park Avenue, the letter "m" will mean "masterpiece" when master pianist Wayne McEvilly presents "Mozart for Mother's Day," a free concert and part of the Ernestine Hill Clark Concert Series. The music begins at 2:00p.m. The program will be held in the library's fourth floor 46th Star Auditorium and is suitable for all ages.
McEvilly's partnership with the classics of the piano repertoire has been a favorite of MLS library listeners since his move from California to Oklahoma City in 2004.
This concert series, McEvilly continued, "is part of my life's work to offer performances of Mozart, and other great composers, to everyone, all ages, no exclusions."
A previous "Mozart for Mother's Day" concert at the Downtown Library attracted an audience from 1 to 101 years of age, enthusiastic teens, children with their families, working men and women, seniors and professionals. "In a word," McEvilly said, "everyone."
"No one," said Metropolitan Library System Development Coordinator Chris Carroll, "surpasses Wayne McEvilly when it comes to conveying the thrill of great music to an audience."
For more information about this or any Metropolitan Library System program, visit the MLS website, www.metrolibrary.org
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org.

Provides free meals for those who have served
By Meagan McGone
BREVARD — Giant Recreation World believes it is important that veterans be honored and remembered.
To do so, the company is offering veterans and their families complimentary breakfast and lunch on Sunday, Nov. 11 and Monday, Nov. 12.
"I hope it is going to be a big restaurant bill because there's nothing more important to Giant Recreation World than letting our veterans know we care about them," said the company's COO, Larry McNamara.
Larry's brother, Don, who is the company's CEO, has ties to Veterans Day that date back to the 1960s, when he served in the United States Marine Corps.
Additionally, Don missed the draft for the Vietnam War by a few days, though he lost both friends and acquaintances in that battle.
"It is important that veterans not be forgotten or overlooked for all of their service and sacrifices, whether they served in times of peace or in times of war and conflict," Don said.
He said the least he could do is make sure that veterans and their families get some good meals for two days.
"There are a lot of homeless and hurting vets and families out there that we all need to take care of," Don said. "This is a gesture to let veterans know that we care about them. It is the right thing to do."
Brevard's veterans and their families can visit the Palm Shores Riverview Diner, located on 5060 U.S. Highway 1 in Palm Shores, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. to be honored with a free breakfast and/or lunch.
Both McNamaras said that there is no need to provide military proof to redeem the offer.
"Just the statement that they have served is enough," Don said.

11-12 Roster, First Blush
I've learned over the years that counting on the Oilers to do something at this late date (not really, but they don't do much) is an exercise in frustration.
Since Steve Tambellini has taken over (July 31, 2008) the Oilers have made done very little from mid-July through end August.
They sign their rfa's, make adjustments in the front office and scouting and fill out the AHL roster with minor league veterans.
The Oilers have an unbalanced look again, but that appears to be the preference of management. This team has too many forwards, questions on defense and all kinds of worry in goal.
We wait.
Here's a first blush look at what the roster might look like in the fall. Starters followed by depth, and all dollars are cap hit, with (I believe) bonus numbers included in the totals.
- GOAL: Devan Dubnyk (800k); Nikolai Khabibulin ($3.75M).
- DEFENSE: Ryan Whitney (4M); Tom Gilbert (4M); Ladislav Smid (2.25M); Cam Barker (2.25M); Andy Sutton (2.125M); Theo Peckham (1.075M); Jeff Petry (1M).
- CENTER: Shawn Horcoff (5.5M); Sam Gagner (2.275M); Eric Belanger (1.75M); Andrew Cogliano (1.5M-est); Gilbert Brule (1.85M).
- LEFT WING: Taylor Hall (3.75M); Ryan Smyth (6.25M); Magnus Paajarvi (1.525M); Ben Eager (1.1M); Darcy Hordichuk (825k).
- RIGHT WING: Ales Hemsky (4.1M); Jordan Eberle (1.158M); Linus Omark (875k); Ryan Jones (1.5M).
- BUYOUTS: Sheldon Souray (2.4M); Robert Nilsson (417k).
Cap estimate: $58,025,000 for 23 players. If the Oilers went with this group, they'd have $6,275,000 in cap room. I doubt they spend it. Any errors let me know, I'll update after the big trade (stop it! my stitches) and we get a final number on Cogliano.

We are all well aware about the frenzy surrounding the Jodi Arias trial. It's even spawned a legion of loyal court viewers. Some, we discovered, are willing to wait hours just for a seat in the courtroom.
It looks like a line for Black Friday deals, or people waiting for tickets to a big concert, but this line forming at 3:30 in the morning is of people hoping to see the Jodi Arias murder trial firsthand.
"I am a trial groupie. I got up at 3:45 this morning."
Linda Boreman was one of those outside of the phoenix courthouse hours before sunrise.
"I'm just very fascinated by it. I grew up in a family of lawyers, wanted to be one, probably should have been one," she says.
Mikal Ann Dillon has been coming for 2 and a half months.
"I decided this was interesting and when I got into it, my heart went out to Travis's family."
And she's not alone in her devotion.
"Oh my god it is crazy. Yesterday people were fighting over seats, fighting over seats and where to sit. It's sad that it's come to this because it really is about the Travis thing and I hate to see that kind of thing happen."
John Freer, another regular, says the crowds have grown in the past few weeks.
"I've been here for the last 3 weeks and it's just getting worse with the people and it's coming to the end, everyone wants to know what going on.
Freer follows the daily testimony closely -- but that's not the only thing he pays attention to.
"It's interesting to watch jury's reaction and family's reaction and getting questions answered… you want to get up there and ask your own questions."
And for this group, it's turned out to be more than just a daily fascination.
"It's fun to see strangers in the waiting room and become friends and I already have emails and phone numbers and things."

The cast of Glee gets fab -- Fab Four, that is -- on Tuesday with the release of its latest album, Glee Sings The Beatles. The disc features 14 songs from the first two episodes of the show's new season, which gets underway Thursday.
While Beatles songs have been featured on Glee before, the first two episodes are a full-on Beatles tribute, with the cast taking on songs from every part of the legendary group's career. There are early songs like "I Saw Her Standing There" and "A Hard Day's Night," mid-period tracks like "Yesterday" and "Got to Get You into My Life," and late period hits like "Get Back," "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be."
Where does this all fit in, plot-wise? Well, things get started when Will assigns the kids two weeks' worth of Beatles songs to perform. In New York, Rachel has a disappointing callback for Funny Girl , realizes she needs more life experience, and takes a job working with Santana as a waitress. Meanwhile, Artie and Kitty have evidently become involved, Blaine is still plotting the perfect way to ask Kurt to marry him, and Coach Sue returns to McKinley High as its "interim" principal.
Reportedly, Blaine's proposal to Kurt will involve a performance of the Beatles classic "All You Need Is Love," and there are rumors floating around online that he'll say "yes." The name of Thursday's episode is "Love, Love, Love" which is part of the lyrics to "All You Need Is Love."
The second part of the Beatles tribute is called "Tina in the Sky with Diamonds," and it centers on the McKinley High prom; Tina's been nominated for Prom Queen. In New York, Rachel and Santana befriend a fellow waitress, Dani, played by Demi Lovato . Her character will eventually become Santana's love interest.
The third episode of the season is the one that will deal with Cory Monteith 's death.
Here's a list of the songs on the album, and which characters sing them:
"Yesterday" -- Rachel
"Drive My Car"-- New Directions
"Got to Get You into My Life" -- Blaine and Kurt
"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" -- Artie & Kitty
"Help" -- Blaine, Sam, Ryder and Jake
"A Hard Day's Night" -- Rachel & Santana
"I Saw Her Standing There" -- Blaine, Sam, Ryder and Jake
"All You Need Is Love" -- New Directions, the Warblers, Vocal Adrenaline
"Get Back" -- Kurt & Rachel
"Here Comes the Sun" -- Santana & Dani
"Something" -- Sam
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" -- Jake, Ryder, Marley & Unique
"Hey Jude" -- New Directions
"Let It Be" -- New Directions, Kurt, Rachel & Santana

Bill O'Reilly targets Al Gore for selling Current TV to Al-Jazeera
The conservative TV host questions the sale of Gore's cable news network to the pan-Arab broadcaster.
Conservative television host Bill O'Reilly is condemning former U.S. Vice President Al Gore as a "hypocrite," citing a report that Gore wanted to sell Current TV, the cable network Gore helped establish, to Al-Jazeera before higher taxes kicked in on Jan. 1.
O'Reilly, whose top-rated "O'Reilly Factor" airs on Fox News, cited a story in the New York Times that said Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal before year-end because of the higher tax rate.
That comes just two months after Gore told Reuters he felt citizens should "do their fair share," O'Reilly noted. "I guess that means selling assets at the lower capital gains rate?" he added.
But O'Reilly's not the only one taking aim at Gore for selling to Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab broadcaster backed by the oil-rich country of Qatar -- which O'Reilly described as an "anti-American network."
Gore, who shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his fight against climate change, stands to gross about $70 million from the sale, according to Bloomberg. Gore reportedly has a 20% stake in Current TV.
"It's reeking with irony," Jeff Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management, tells Bloomberg. "It seems to be at least a paradox in terms of his positions on sustainability and geopolitics."
The estimated profit is a huge jump from the maximum net worth of $1.7 million reported by Gore when he ran for president in 1999, the article points out.
Al-Jazeera, whose English-language version has struggled to gain a foothold in the U.S., might face an uphill battle to see a turnaround with American audiences.
Immediately after the purchase, Time Warner Cable shut down Current TV's programming, cutting off access to 12 million homes.
But Time Warner appeared to reconsider on Thursday, noting that it would keep "an open mind" as the network develops. Al-Jazeera, which is reportedly paying $500 million for the network, plans to shut down Current's programming and start a new English-language channel via Current's distribution.
More on Money Now
And to think this 'sky is falling' fear-mongering hypocrite almost got elected president. He needs to return his Nobel Prize after it's sufficiently sanitized. The fact that Gore and Obama have each one a Nobel has relegated one of the most prestigious awards in the world to the level of winning a meat raffle at the local VFW.
Gore is a disgrace He tries to tell the American people how to live then He and the other DemocRATS do what they want and what is sad is the DemocRAT people do what the DemocRAT party tells them so I hope all you DemocRATS wake up and see they just use you for their own good not the good of AMERICA

The original Suzuki GSX-R1000 K1 and K2 models are still supremely competent sports bikes and pretty decent all round machines too.

What a makeover! And just in time… As other sports 600s were creeping ahead, Suzuki looked as if it would be left for dead. And then they came up with this Suzuki GSX-R600. Slimmed down, firmed up and with power and torque figures to raise front wheels as well as eyebrows, the "new" Suzuki GSX-R600 was an absolute storm.

To an extent, the Suzuki DL650 V-Strom is built to a budget, but it's a real performer. Cost-effective and versatile, the Suzuki DL650 V-Strom is well worth a ...

By Chris Kuc
CHICAGO — The season after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010, it was like the numbers on their sweaters had been replaced with targets as every team ramped up its game to take its best shot at knocking off the defending champs. After the Hawks soared through the first 19 games of this season without a regulation loss, the target has returned. About the only thing missing is a carnival barker shouting, "Step right up and try to be the first team to knock off the Hawks!" "You can feel it," winger Marian Hossa said. "Every team is ready for us as they try to stop this team and try to be the first. It's getting tougher and tougher. (Teams) check harder and everybody gets prepared for us more and more." Now in full preparation mode are the Blues, who get the next crack at the Hawks on Thursday night in St. Louis. The Hawks' Central Division rivals aren't exactly hiding the fact they want to take home the prize. "It would be great," Blues defenseman Ian Cole said Tuesday in St. Louis. "First and foremost, we have to get two points any way we can. Would we rather go out, dominate them and impose our will on them and show we can be a really elite team like they are? Absolutely. "But they're obviously a good team. They're not going to let us step on the ice and beat the (heck) out of them. It'll be a little harder than that." The Hawks' assault on the NHL record book has been anything but easy. Thirteen of the 19 games have been decided by one goal, and the Hawks are 10-0-3 in those games. "It feels like every game has been a tough game this year," winger Patrick Sharp said. "Every night we're getting the opponent's best effort. Credit us to find a way to win." Dating to last season, the Hawks have gone 25 consecutive games without a regulation loss, third-best in NHL history. They are three away from tying the 1977-78 Canadiens and 10 from matching the 1979-80 Flyers. While their numbers are gaudy, the Hawks believe they can reach another level. "We can play better for sure," winger Patrick Kane said. "Although we've had contributions from pretty much everyone, it would be nice to get a little bit more consistency throughout the lineup." Kane then chuckled and added: "But you can't really complain about much right now. It's been a fun ride, and everyone's playing great." The streak has captured the attention of the hockey world and put the Hawks in a terrific position for the postseason — they hold an eight-point lead over the second-place Ducks in the Western Conference — but they know it will mean little once the playoffs begin. Still, the run of close games — and wins — is a good learning tool for late-season play. "There are never easy games the last part of the year and then definitely the playoffs," Sharp said. "The year we won in 2010, every series was close — that's the way hockey is. You have to find a way to win those tight games, and the more we can do it now, hopefully the better it pays off down the road." The next chance to find a way is against a Blues team intent on putting a halt to history. "Winning is a feeling," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock told reporters. "When you have the right feeling going, you win all the close games. You get the goal at the end, you win in overtime (and) you win in the shootouts. "(The Hawks) have the feeling going right now, and somebody is going to have to break the feeling. It might as well be us."

When the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted in 1976, it was intended to ensure that chemicals are safe throughout their lifecycle, from manufacture to use and disposal. But weaknesses in the law have left the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unable to act on known health dangers. Other laws, such as those setting air, water, and workplace safety standards, do not adequately regulate exposure to most chemicals, nor do they address the hazards a chemical may pose over its entire lifecycle. New legislation is needed to rapidly reduce exposure to toxic chemicals, such as trichloroethylene (TCE)*, a cancer-causing chemical used in many industries and consumer products—including rug cleaners and spot removers. TCE exposure can pose serious health risks but exposure during pregnancy is especially worrisome as it has been associated with low birth weight and multiple types of birth defects. NRDC urges Congress to update TSCA to protect people and the environment from toxic chemicals.
A decade of science confirms TCE is harmful to human health
TCE is a harmful chemical commonly found in air and identified as a water pollutant in numerous groundwater aquifers. Fifteen hundred toxic waste sites in the United States are contaminated with TCE and it is well documented that many people are being exposed to this chemical with potential effects on their health. TCE has been linked to cancer in multiple organs, harms the respiratory and nervous system and has been associated with birth defects. Despite strong support from expert scientific bodies for the cancer effects, the U.S. EPA has been unable to finalize an assessment of TCE's toxicity for more than 10 years. Even when it is finalized, existing TSCA rules will still limit EPA's ability to take action to protect the public from TCE's harmful health effects. Strong TSCA reform is needed to place restrictions on TCE use to prevent further contamination of drinking water and quickly reduce human exposure to this dangerous chemical.
More than 1,000 safe, effective alternatives to TCE are available now
More than 300 million pounds of TCE are produced every year in the United States, about 20 percent of which is used for metal cleaning. Steel pipe and tube manufacturing industries reported disposals and releases in 2005 of more than 5.6 million pounds. And TCE is one of the most common contaminants at toxic waste sites and a widespread contaminant of groundwater aquifers. Yet, many less harmful cleaners can replace TCE in metal cleaning and degreasing applications, including neutral and alkaline water-based and bio-based products. In fact, the Toxics Use Reduction Institute has compiled a database and assigned safety and effectiveness ratings for more than 1,000 alternatives. But consumer and worker protection should not rely on voluntary initiatives for replacement chemicals, leaving many still at risk. We need TSCA reform to protect the public's and workers' health.
Products and industries where TCE is found
In industry, TCE is used as a solvent and degreaser and in the manufacturing of other chemicals. It is found in consumer products such as paints and paint removers, adhesives, rug cleaners, typewriter correction fluids, metal cleaners, pepper sprays, and spot removers.
Exposure and health risks
Most people are exposed to TCE by breathing contaminated air or drinking contaminated water. Between 9 percent and 34 percent of drinking water supply sources tested in the United States contain some TCE due to leaching from disposal sites. TCE has been found in more than 1500 of the most hazardous (Superfund) waste sites around the country. When showering in contaminated water, both inhalation and dermal (skin) exposure occurs. Indoor air concentrations of TCE are usually higher than outdoor concentrations because of the use of consumer products, vapor intrusion through underground sources and volatilization from the water supply. Workers using TCE as a degreaser are at high risk for health effects. The harmful chemical does more than just irritate the eyes, throat, and skin. It is associated with cancers of the liver, kidneys, and prostate, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drinking or breathing TCE may cause harm to the nervous system, liver and lung damage, abnormal heartbeat, and at high levels, can even cause coma and death. Exposure during pregnancy has been associated with multiple types of birth defects and low birth weight.
How TCE is designated and regulated now
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified TCE as a probable human carcinogen.
The EPA draft cancer assessments for TCE from 2001 and 2009 conclude that TCE is "highly likely to produce cancer in humans". The EPA's latest draft assessment has confirmed earlier conclusions and found even more risks to health due to inhalation of TCE. The EPA has set a maximum contaminant level for drinking water of 5 parts per billion (ppb).
The National Toxicology Program has found TCE is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
Congress, in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, defined TCE as a toxic air pollutant subject to regulatory action by the EPA.
California has listed TCE on the Proposition 65 list of chemicals "known to cause cancer".
The California Air Resources Board considers TCE a toxic air contaminant with no safe level of exposure and has prohibited its use in 13 product categories, including general purpose degreasers, brake cleaners, all spray paints, all aerosol adhesives, and adhesive removers.
California's EPA finalized a public health goal for TCE in drinking water of 1.7 ppb as the maximum
allowable safe level.
Maine has listed TCE as a "chemical of high concern" for its carcinogenic effects under its law on Toxic Chemicals in Children's Products.
TCE Tragedy at Camp Lejeune
At Camp Lejeune, a Marine base in North Carolina, improperly stored or disposed TCE from metal degreasing operations contaminated the drinking water supply, exposing thousands of service people and civilians to exceedingly dangerous levels of the chemical. In 1982, the highest level of TCE detected in drinking water at Camp Lejeune was 1,400 parts per billion—the current U.S. environmental drinking water health standard for TCE sets a maximum safe level of 5 parts per billion. More than 20 years later, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry is investigating whether certain birth defects and cancers found among the children born at Camp Lejeune are related to exposure to TCE. These defects and cancers include spina bifida, anencephaly, cleft lips, cleft palates, leukemia, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The Bellini Chair
Edgy for the eye, soft on the ass.
A friend introduced us to the Bellini chair several years ago. He used them to transform his garden: 6 Bellinis (back then only $90 each) around a stainless steel Inox dinner table ($550).
With a small apartment, a three-week-old baby and lots of sitting down due to sleepless nights, these chairs have surprised him and his wife with how durable, easy to clean and comfortable they are....
They chose to mix up the colors with charcoal, pistachio and dove grey colors, which add more pizzazz to the outdoor dining room, and we heartily recommend this. The chairs stack very closely together, are light, won the prestigious Compasso D'Oro award in 2001, and at $110 they aren't too expensive. We give them the thumbs up.

i love my bellini's!
I've been eyeing the Bellini for our kitchen/dining area, but am wondering if they are too "outdoor cafe-ish"?
Our neighbor has some of these for the shallow end of his pool. It's great to sit and have drinks in 18 inches of water!
Wow, the new high-gloss UltraBellini available at High Brow for $200 is pretty fantastic, too. I love that blue!
Seems to me whether they will look too "outdoor cafe-ish" will depend on their color and how that goes with your room. My friend has the charcoal grey bellinis and they go great inside with all his regular dining and living room furniture. Though, it's true, he mostly uses them only when he needs extra seating. I think that's because the plastic looks a little temporary with all his hardwood and natural materials around.
Thanks Sea, that kind of chyrstallized it for me. I love them, but don't think ultimately they'll be a good choice for the space.
I love AT precisely because of this. I have been in a tizzy trying to pick the right set of dining chairs for our small eat-in kitchen. These Bellinis made the shortlist but I am hesitant because of how the plastic is going to "feel" indoors. I pop in here this morning and voila! A discussion on these very chairs. Really appreciate all your feedback.
Yeah, but I'd still definitely recommend them if you get them in a non-contrasting color (dark grey is probably best), and if they are used as genuine side chairs, hanging out to the side somewhere, and not as the main-use chairs. (I guess that's two ifs that might make them seem impractical, after all....) I've seen another use of a Bellini in a bedroom, and that one looked great, too - but it was really just against a wall on it's own, not for real sitting on.
We use 'em in pistachio in our studio apartment as our "main" dining chairs around a white "Zero" table from DWR and we love them. Not too outdoorsy looking if you have a somewhat modern look going and they are very comfy.
Yes, they're really comfy. And yes, I bet they look fantastic with a more light-colored - and modern - setting.
I used to work for DWR and found these at a yard sale this weekend-- being sold by my old client! She sold them back to me for $15 each.... score!
check out the pics of them on flickr in our backyard...
mmm. i wish i got these instead of ikea chairs. the price isn't so different, and these look way more solid. grr.

Bioengineered Corn Almost Stolen
A Chinese national who became a resident of the United States through a work visa has been arrested for allegedly stealing bioengineered corn from Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa Nicholas Klinefeldt says Mo Hailong was arrested in Florida.
The investigation started in the summer of 2011 when Pioneer reported suspicious activity by an individual in one of their testing fields. A short time later, Monsanto reported someone digging up corn plants in one of their fields. Both turned out to be Mo Hailong.
Hailong worked for a seed company in China, Klinefeldt says the CEO and four other employees of the Chinese company are co-conspirators in the case but they all live in China or Canada and have not been arrested.
Hailong is charged with conspiracy to steal trade secrets; he will be tried in Des Moines. If convicted he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $5 million fine.

2009 Ranking Movers
Published December 02, 2009 12:00
Week after week, the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Rankings change, with hot players ascending and struggling ones sliding. So who, in another memorable season on Tour, made the greatest ranking improvement and who had the greatest regression?
Of those ranked in the Top 100, as of November 9, 2009, the following had the biggest ranking jumps from where they started the year:
Kim Clijsters: Unranked to No.18
A bit misleading, as she did not even return to the Tour until August following a more than two-year absence, so obviously she had nowhere to go but up. However, she exceeded even the wildest expectations with several impressive results, highlighted by the US Open title.
Andrea Petkovic: No.379 to No.56 = 323 places up
The 22-year-old German had only won three Tour main draw matches before running off five in a row en route to an unlikely title in Bad Gastein in July . The very next week, she won three more matches en route to a semifinal showing in Istanbul, resulting in her rising to a career-high of No.52 on August 3.
Alexandra Dulgheru: No.343 to No.51 = 292 places up
The 20-year-old Romanian shot up the rankings and into the spotlight by capturing the Premier-level title in Warsaw in May. Ranked No.201 at the start of the week, it was her first-ever Tour main draw event. She also was victorious at three ITF Circuit events. She established her career-high ranking of No.51 on the November 9 year-end rankings.
Arantxa Parra Santonja: No.296 to No.91 = 205 places up
The Spaniard's rise was fueled by improving her match record from 18-12 in 2008 to 36-20 in 2009, which included two ITF Circuit titles.
Tatjana Malek: No.240 to No.68 = 172 places up
The German's ascension was triggered by her first career Tour singles quarterfinal showing in Barcelona and three ITF Circuit titles. She achieved her career-high of No.64 on September 14.
Of those ranked in the Top 100, as of November 9, 2009, the following had the biggest ranking declines from where they started the year:
Tsvetana Pironkova: No.44 to No.99 = 55 places down
Although she did make the quarterfinals in Hobart and Moscow this year, the Bulgarian's 23-27 match record did not measure up to 2008 when her 36-23 record included a Tour semifinal showing and quarterfinal appearance.
Anna Chakvetadze: No.18 to No.70 = 52 places down
The Russian had her lowest season-ending ranking since 2004, only making it as far as the quarters in one event - New Haven, a year after having one title, one runner-up showing, one semifinal appearance and three quarterfinal showings.
Anne Keothavong: No.60 to No.100 = 40 places down
Her season-ending ranking of No.100 was actually her second-best in 11 years on Tour and her season included three of her four career semifinal showings. So how to explain her rankings decline from where she started 2009? Injury. She did not play after July, when she suffered a knee injury. In fact, she was ranked No.54 at the start of her last event, so she actually would have risen in the rankings from season's start to finish if the year concluded in July.
Alizé Cornet: No.15 to No.50 = 35 places down
The French teenager looked to be a rising star on Tour in 2008, winning one singles title and having one runner-up showing and three semifinal appearances. However, she took a step back this year, with her semifinal showing in Bad Gastein her best result. Also, her match record fell from 37-24 last year to 20-28 this year.
Kaia Kanepi: No.26 to No.61 = 35 places down
The Estonian actually finished 2009 with her second-highest ranking ever, but her season still paled in comparison to 2008, when she had one runner-up showing, two semifinal appearances and four quarterfinal showings on Tour, including at Roland Garros. Her 2009 season was highlighted by one semifinal appearance and two quarterfinal showings. Unfortunately, after her quarterfinal showing in Rome in May, she did not win another match the rest of the season, going 0-11 from there (0-12 when including the loss in Rome).
As far as the doubles rankings, Hsieh Su-Wei made the biggest jump amongst year-end Top 10 players, going from No.54 at the start of the year to No.9 at the end. Also making big jumps were Nuria Llagostera Vives - who went from No.30 to No.5, Serena Williams - who went from No.27 to No.3, and Venus Williams - who went from No.23 to No.3. The only year-end top 10 player who finished the year lower ranked than she started was Virginia Ruano Pascual, who went from No.5 to No.10.

Members of the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade will return to Fort Bragg on Monday, following a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan.
More than 60 soldiers are being welcomed in a ceremony in the afternoon. The soldiers are an advance party from the 319th (Task Force Cyclone) and 519th (Task Force Thunder) Military Intelligence Battalions returns.
Both units deployed in January and served in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Nearly 250 Lightening Brigade Soldiers remain deployed.
During the course of the deployment, Task Force Thunder Soldiers conducted multi-disciplined intelligence collection operations dispersed across Regional Command-South, operating from forward operating bases and combat outposts.
Task Force Thunder Soldiers provided vital human intelligence information, multi-function team operations throughout Kandahar and Zabul Provinces, force protection with counterintelligence agents and signals intelligence support.
Task Force Cyclone Soldiers were spread across 44,000 square miles and comprised 4 multifunctional teams, 13 counterintelligence teams, 14 low-level voice intercept teams, two prophet analysis cells, a counterintelligence operational management team and two Afghan national army advisory teams.
The battalion provided collection and intelligence support to Combined Joint Task Force 101, Regional Command-East.

Ottawa County Commissioner and Coroner candidates
In Ottawa County's contested races in the Nov. 6 General Election, Jo Ellen Regal, Mark Stahl and Steve Arndt are running to fill two County Commissioner seats.
Dr. Daniel Cadigan and Dr. Jerome McTague are running for County Coroner. The Beacon asked each candidate to submit his/her reasons as to why they would make the best officeholder. Dr. McTague did not respond.
Steve Arndt
Why am I the best candidate for County Commissioner?
A County Commissioner does more than manage a office, we manage a government. Because our primary responsibility is that of the appropriating authority we must possess a good working knowledge of all of the county's operations and responsibilities. County government serves at the pleasure of the state, implementing their programs, policies and Constitutional requirements.
Having said that it takes years to fully understand the breath of county government. Serving in leadership positions in the County Commissioners Association of Ohio on various committees such as Jobs and Economic Development and Infrastructure, Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Human Serves and Workforce Development and various State Task Forces has given me the working knowledge and understanding of the legal requirements in these critical areas.
The past four years have been some of the most economically challenging times for Federal and State governments but it becomes acutely apparent at the delivery point, County government. Because those pressures remain, my 24 years of knowledge and proven ability to manage our more than $100 million dollar operations will prove to be invaluable in preserving the health
Jo Ellen Regal
One of the main responsibilities of a county commissioner is to be the budgeting and appropriating authority for the county. As county auditor I have an understanding of the budget and the budgeting process. I believe that knowledge is needed in the commissioner's office during difficult budget times.
I also have the leadership skills needed to be an effective commissioner. As an independent thinker I am not afraid to ask the tough questions and do the necessary research to make the best decisions for the residents of Ottawa County. I would bring a common sense management style to the office.
A commissioner also needs to be a good listener. I believe it is important to communicate effectively with the residents of the county as well as the other elected officials, department heads and employees of the county. I believe that better decisions are made if you are willing to talk about and listen to different ideas even if they are not the same as yours.
Your vote on November 6th will bring fiscal experience, proven leadership, independent thinking, trust and integrity to the county commissioner's office.
Mark Stahl
My name is Mark Stahl and I currently serve you as your county commissioner. I am seeking re-election to the office of Ottawa County Commissioner in the November 6, 2012, election.
Four years ago, I campaigned on the promise to provide government leadership and financial responsibility through effective and efficient management of the budget of Ottawa County. As the economy continues to be soft, we budgeted to make Ottawa County financially stronger. We balanced the budget and increased our cash reserves without seriously effecting public services. We did this by partnering with all stakeholders and this success was built on solutions offered by all stakeholders. We continue to look for ways to streamline our operations and have developed partnerships with all stakeholders to provide solutions to cost containment.
The budgetary crisis at the federal and state levels present future financial challenges for Ottawa County. As their present financial commitment to us decreases, the demand for services remains. We will continue to budget for the financial challenges that our county will experience in the future. Together, we can ensure Ottawa County's success for the future.
Dr. Daniel Cadigan
I believe I am the best candidate for Ottawa County Coroner. The Coroner's duties include responding to requests for attendance in Coroner's cases, and to timely complete and file documents. As a family physician, I have been available when called by Ottawa County residents for 17 years. I will continue to be available.
I live and work in the county and can attend a scene when requested. Not all medical specialties can do so in a timely fashion. I have a record of public service within Ottawa County, having served as Riverview Nursing Home Subacute Medical Director, Ottawa County Health Department Well Child Clinic physician, Ottawa County Board of Health member, Ottawa County Health Needs Assessment Committee member, Immaculate Conception School Advisory Council President, and Magruder Hospital Medical Staff President. I will continue that record of service.
I will ensure that we again have access to a Deputy Coroner, which has been lacking in 2012. Ottawa County residents are my patients, neighbors, and friends, and I will ensure that they and their families have the same dignity and respect in death as they do in life by responding to the family's needs in a timely and consistent fashion.
My education, training and experience in accounting and finance support this commitment. My formal education includes a dual Bachelor of Business Degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Toledo, College of Business Administration.
As your commissioner, I continue to deliver leadership and the commitment to make decisions with the residents of Ottawa County in mind.
Your vote is a precious gift and I ask for your vote on November 6th to continue to service our county as your County Commissioner.

While everyone — or maybe just me — has been focused on Black Friday, there is a holiday happening in two days. If you haven't already prepared for Thanksgiving by buying items for dinner or your decor as they've been on sale, you may have to work harder to cut costs.
Get moving with these quick tips and visit websites such as Savingsangel.com, Money Talks News, Mamiverse, Grandparents.com for more ways to save.
Trim turkey costs. Choose one meat — Turkey is pretty much a requisite but lamb, ham and ribs are not.
Turkey is the one item you may be better off buying this week. Many stores put Turkeys on sale so comparison shop even at stores you may not typically frequent.
BJ's Wholesale Club, for example, is offering $15 off Harvestland Purely All-Natural Turkey when you purchase four different items from a select group. This deal runs through tomorrow.
You can also save 30 or 40 percent buying a frozen turkey or try a recipe such as braised turkey legs so you don't have to buy the entire bird.
Ask for help. Have your guests contribute dishes to help you keep costs down. Invite each guest to bring a certain type of dish such as appetizer, vegetable, etc.
Shop your pantry. See if you already have items you need for your recipes at home or if there are items you can substitute for other ingredients rather than buying more.
Shop store brands, smaller stores and ethnic markets. If you must buy additional ingredients, store brands generally offer the same quality as name brands but at a lower cost. Get last minute basic ingredients, spices and grains at smaller grocery stores or ethnic markets.
Go outside to get your decor. DIY decorations from nature are quick and will help you save money. Gather leaves, twigs and acorns to create a centerpiece. Turn drinking glasses or mismatched stemware upside down and top them with tea lights.
Use smaller plates. This one made me laugh, but really, we do eat a lot on Thanksgiving. Using smaller plates will trick guests into thinking they've had more to eat, while helping them avoid that Thanksgiving Day coma.
How are you keeping costs under control for Thanksgiving dinner?

Definition of consanguineous in English:
consanguineousLine breaks: con|san¦guin|eous
Pronunciation: /ˌkɒnsaŋˈɡwɪnɪəs /
Relating to or denoting people descended from the same ancestor: consanguineous marriages may give rise to recessive syndromes
More example sentences
- We use the patterns of homozygosity at multiple loci to distinguish between excess homozygosity caused by consanguineous mating and that due to undetected population subdivision.
- It makes feasible the analysis of multilocus data observed on general pedigrees containing possibly consanguineous marriages and missing information.
- Horizontal lines represent crosses, thick horizontal lines are consanguineous crosses, and vertical lines represent descendants from such matings.
- More example sentences
- He had astutely noticed the high rate of consanguinity among normal parents of the deaf.
- In this situation, where consanguinity is assumed to be zero, the genealogies of genes at different loci are essentially independent.
- Having large families, consanguinity, lack of ante-natal ultrasound diagnosis, and disinclination for termination, all result in a proliferation of abnormal children for the portfolios of visiting photographers.

Bernard Amadei has applied for and been awarded 1 grant
A Course in Appropriate Technologies for the Developing World
Began June, 2005 and ended May, 2008
The University of Colorado at Boulder is requesting $49,500 from the NCIIA to contribute toward the development and initial offering of a new course on Appropriate Technologies for the Developing World in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering (CEAE). This course is envisioned as a two-semester, six-credit senior capstone design course with significant research and design in appropriate/sustainable technology and community planning and development. This course would be the next in a series of newly developed courses in the Engineering for Developing Communities (ECD) program. Other recently developed courses include Sustainability and the Built Environment and Introduction to Public Health. The proposed course will include environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and mechanics, and water resources engineering and management components – all with a focus on designs for developing communities. The course will also introduce students to cultural and social awareness, help them work in interdisciplinary teams, and develop a professional work ethic. The EDC program's mission is to educate a new generation of globally responsible engineering students and professionals who can offer sustainable and appropriate solutions to the endemic problems of poverty afflicting developing communities. These include water provisioning and purification, sanitation, energy, shelter, food production and distribution, and communication. EDC students learn the basic steps of engineering from concept to implementation by working on projects in developing communities. They also learn to understand the interaction of the built environment with natural systems, and the interplay between technical and non-technical issues shaping engineering decisions in the world today.

A caregiver can be designated to a child or to an adult suffering from a physical ailment that has debilitated them from functioning with the ease that they would normally. Although we would all like to be able to care for ourselves or cater to our children's needs when sick, this is not always a realistic expectation. Sometimes, more help is need; in fact, when a patient is suffering from cancer an entire cancer care team might be necessary.
It is important to always remember that caring for the caregiver is just as vital as caring for the patient, as one can't happen without the other. If your caregiver is not in good health or emotional sprits, it will be much more difficult for them to provide the proper attention and adequate care to you or your ailing loved one.
Caregivers need to care for themselves as much as they do for the patients they have been assigned to look after. Therefore, you need to know
how to find good child care. One way to do this is by referencing the
parent's guide to choosing child care to help you make wise decisions and know what to look for when selecting the caregiver that will be best for you.
For tips on how to select the right caregiver for you or your child and other helpful information about caregiving, please read some of the articles we have included, located directly to the left.

2 New Reasons To Buy Coca-Cola
Bobby is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The only problem with Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) stock is that its huge name and reputation make it a very popular investment option.
One major reason for the company's success is that it enjoys huge brand awareness around the world. The company has successfully penetrated markets from New York City to Manila, Indonesia and everywhere in between. Part of Coca-Cola's success is due to its partnerships with other businesses. For example, Coca-Cola is served in McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) restaurants, another global powerhouse, worldwide. Whether Coca-Cola needed to use partnerships such as one with McDonald's to penetrate new global markets is debatable, but one thing is certain: it has helped increase demand for products, which has in turn increased profits.
Coca-Cola is sure to see more profits from its partnership with McDonald's, as McDonald's was recently awarded the status of the official restaurant of the London Olympic Games. The diversity of its branding and marketing strategies, which are customized to meet the cultural and regional specifications of each market in which the company has inserted itself, as well as the sheer number of markets in which it has successfully introduced its products, makes Coca-Cola a difficult investment option to beat.
Coca-Cola has been one of the only stocks to raise distributions 50 years in a row. The stock has a dividend growth rate of 10% per annum, with a yield of 2.80%. Shareholders recently received welcome news. Quarterly dividends were increased from $0.47 per share to $0.51 per share, or a total of $2.04 per share over the past three quarters. One share is currently worth about $77, near its 52-week high of $77.82.
Despite Coca-Cola's global brand appeal and market penetration, the company is making plans to become more efficient, profitable, healthy and green by 2020, thus providing more efficiency. Higher efficiency translates into value for product for investors, and is positive for public relations with the general public. These improvements are especially welcome news as the company continues to increase profits, which reached $11.8 billion last year and posted an average $2.8 billion in profit each quarter in the last three quarters. With these new initiatives, shareholders can look forward to even higher profits.
While Coca-Cola's plans are by no means overly ambitious- they include a 15% reduction in carbon footprint, reusing water used in manufacturing processes and partnering with the World Wildlife Fund, they continue to make Coca-Cola the most efficient soft drink manufacturer in the world. The company has made and continues to make efforts to appeal to more health-conscious customers, cutting the calories in its products by 10% over the past decade. Although competitors such as Pepsico (NYSE: PEP), Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS), Kraft Foods (KFT) and Monster Beverage (MNST) have worked to compete in both efficiency and marketing of healthier products, none of them have been able to penetrate the global market as deeply as Coca-Cola.
Although Pepsico, Coca-Cola's largest competitor, grew at an astonishing 11% last year, compared to Coca-Cola's 5%, it still raked in a profit of only $6.3 billion, compared to Coca-Cola, which had final quarter profits of $5.8 billion alone. Therefore, investors may still flinch from Pepsico stock, preferring what may be viewed as Coca-Cola's safer stock. That being said, Pepsi recently announced that it would inject an additional $550 million to its marketing and advertising budget in an effort to stimulate soft drink sales, which have declined an average of 7.5%. Of course, Pepsi makes about 50% of its profits from the food market rather than soft drinks, making it somewhat different of an investment option to Coca-Cola, which focuses rather exclusively on non-alcoholic soft drinks.
Coca-Cola is a pretty safe bet for investors looking to keep value in their portfolio without taking too big of a risk. The move for leaner systems and healthier products is sure to make the profitability of the company, and the value of its stock, increase in the next few years. While competitors such as Dr. Pepper and Pepsico are doing well, too, one should keep in mind that these companies are no where near as popular on a global scale as Coca-Cola, nor do the companies have the efficiency mechanisms in place that Coca-Cola does. Indeed, the only issue with purchasing Coca-Cola stock, it would seem, is being perceived as jumping on a bandwagon that is already very large, very popular and already overly full.

Looking for cameras with the best specs and the friendliest prices may serve as a challenge in today's time. Various companies and businesses are vying for the interest of their many customers through consideration of features, performance, and quality that people will surely love to have and experience. Information presented in online shops may not be sufficient enough to encourage a person in buying a camera that they want, thinking that there may be better units out there. If you are stuck in the confusion of choosing the best camera that would fit your needs, then consulting unbiased and professional DSLR camera reviews would be the best option so that you can save time from going left and right, weighing down information on each camera you see out there.
There are certain things you need to look at so that you can gauge on the user-friendliness and the overall performance of the camera. First is the megapixel count, which determines the quality and detail of the pictures when printed on paper. The bigger the megapixel count is, the better you will print sharper images on larger photo paper. Image quality is the next thing to check since cameras that have larger sensors and enhanced lenses would make the perfect shot. Most DSLR camera reviews also note on the lags and startup times, since neglecting it would sometimes miss a flawless moment to take pictures. Also, do not forget thinking about your pocket since most high-grade cameras are quite expensive.
