Detectives have arrested two teenagers after discovering the body of a fetus inside a bag they were carrying at a Victoria's Secret store in Midtown Manhattan, the NYPD said Thursday.
Security guards at the VS store on Broadway in Herald Square stopped two teenaged girls, both 17, when they were leaving the store because the guards suspected them of shoplifting, police said. The guards searched their bags, detected a strong odor, and found the fetus inside a bag belonging Tiana Rodriguez, of Brooklyn.
The store then called police to investigate.
Rodriguez told police she had a miscarriage the day before but didn't know what to do with the fetus, according to reports. Police do not believe she gave birth in the store.
The city's medical examiner was scheduled to perform on autopsy on the fetus and determine its age.
Police charged Rodriguez and Francis Estevez with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. More serious charges could be added.

Device setting caused Super Bowl outageBy KEVIN MCGILL
THE Associated Press | February 09,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Fans and members of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers wait for power to return in the Superdome on Sunday during an outage in the second half of the NFL Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.NEW ORLEANS An electrical device that had been installed expressly to prevent a power outage caused the Super Bowl blackout, the stadiums power company said Friday as it took the blame for the outage that brought the game to a halt for more than a half-hour.
Following the announcement, the manufacturer of the device, known as a relay, released a statement implying that the problem was not with the part but with how it was used.
Officials of Entergy New Orleans, a subsidiary of New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., said the device, called a relay, had been installed in switching gear to protect the Superdome from a cable failure between the companys incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium.
The switching gear is housed in a building known as the vault near the stadium that receives a line directly from a nearby Entergy power substation. Once the line reaches the vault, it splits into two cables that go into the Superdome.
Company officials said the device performed with no problems during Januarys Sugar Bowl and other earlier events, but has been removed and will be replaced. All systems at the Superdome are now working and the dome will host a major Mardi Gras event this weekend, said Doug Thornton, an executive with SMG, the company that manages the stadium for the state.
The power failure at Sundays big game cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers.
The FBI had ruled out cyberterrorism as a cause.
Entergys announcement came shortly before officials appeared before a committee of the City Council, which is the regulatory body for the company, to answer questions about the outage.
Not long after the power companys announcement, the manufacturer, Chicago-based S&C Electric Company, released a statement saying that the power outage occurred because the electric load was too much for the equipment, exceeding the trip setting for the switchgear relay as set by the system operators.
Based on the onsite testing, we have determined that if higher settings had been applied, the equipment would not have disconnected the power, said Michael J.S. Edmonds, vice president of strategic solutions for the company.
The statement did not name the system operators, but the equipment was owned and installed by Entergy New Orleans.
Entergy officials could not immediately be reached for comment after the statement was released Friday.
Entergy New Orleans CEO Charles Rice and Dennis Dawsey, an Entergy vice president for distribution, told the City Council that SMG agrees the cause of the outage was a relay failure. Asked if the two corporations still plan to hire a third-party investigator, Rice said that possibility remains open.
Committee member Jackie Clarkson pressed for such an independent probe. Weve told the public were going to have an outside investigation, she said.
Well work closely with SMG and if there is a need for a third-party investigation, we will do that, Rice said, adding that Entergy was also working with the manufacturer.
Shabab Mehraeen, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Louisiana State University, said the relay device is a common electrical fixture in businesses and massive facilities such as the Superdome.
They are designed to keep a problem they sense from becoming something bigger, like a fire or catastrophic event, said Mehraeen, who holds a doctorate from the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Mo.
The devices vary in size, and while Mehraeen noted he was not familiar with the specifics of the relay at the Superdome, he added, I wouldnt be surprised if it was bigger than a truck.
Mehraeen said the reasons the devices fail are the subject of much academic research into the interaction of relays with the complex electrical systems they regulate.
Its not unusual for them to have problems, he said. They can be unpredictable despite national testing standards recommended by manufacturers.
Entergy and SMG had both upgraded lines and equipment in the months leading up to the Super Bowl. Rice said the new switching gear, with the faulty relay, was installed as part of a $4.2 million upgrade by Entergy, including the installation of a new power line dedicated solely to the stadium.
In a separate project, SMG replaced lines coming into the stadium after managers expressed concerns the Superdome might be vulnerable to a power failure like the one that struck Candlestick Park during a 49ers Monday Night Football game in 2011. That outage was blamed at least partly on a transformer explosion.
Thornton stressed Friday that the dome was drawing only about two-thirds of its power capacity Super Bowl night, and said typical NFL games in late August or September can draw a little more.
City officials had worried that the Super Bowl outage might harm New Orleans chances of getting another NFL championship game.
But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell downplayed that possibility after the outage, saying the NFL planned to keep New Orleans in its Super Bowl plans. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the city intends to bid for the Super Bowl in 2018.
Earlier Friday, Entergy said the device was the cause of the power outage.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Worries about the outlook for growth in China and a slide in the price of oil pushed...

LINCOLN COUNTY (WAOW) - Three women face felony drug charges after officers accused them of distributing heroin, according to a press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities report that officers filed federal indictments against Leanna Marie Wells, 32, of Merrill, Jennifer Lynn Roper, 47, of Merrill, and Rose Helen Kirmsse, 32, of Black Creek.
The three were arrested on December 4. Wells and Roper were arrested in Lincoln County. Kirmsse was arrested in Outagamie County.
Charges against the women include possession with intent to distribute heroin, distributing heroin, and conspiracy to distribute heroin.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, the women face 20 years in federal prison and fines of up to $1 million if convicted. Authorities expect additional state and possibly federal charges to be introduced against others involved in the drug trade, according to the press release.

Sources have told TSN that Los Angeles Kings GM Dean Lombardi has made it clear to Drew Doughty's agent, Don Meehan, that the Kings have no intention of paying Doughty more than Anze Kopitar's $6.8 million annual average salary.
It's believed Doughty wants a minimum of $7 million per season, but the Kings are offering seven years at $6.8 million per, so the question is: Who's going to blink?
Given the possibility of a deal not getting done before training camp opens and Doughty holding out, the temperature inside the Kings offices is rising to the point it's been suggested the Kings may pull their offer by the end of the week.

Taking the Guesswork Out of Design

I must say, I've had much of these sorts of ideas in the back of my head for years, but have never really been able to put them on paper. Particularly the points system, I really like how you are able to talk about abstract concepts that only experienced developers can really 'grok', but do so in a way that anyone can understand. Props for the article!
Great article, very informative. I can't wait to put some of these tips to good use. Thanks!
Thank you for your insight. I think the amount of planning that goes into a website is often underestimated. Get a solid plan behind you and you have won half the battle.

Are You Getting Adequate Vitamin D?
Happy Autumn Season everyone! As we transition into fall and then winter and the weather changes, I start thinking about taking care of myself in a different way. It is time to switch from all the activity that summer brought, to a slower paced, more inward looking way of being. I notice the difference in the sun's warmth these days, the overcast days that come with the season change, the shortening of the day light hours and the resulting lowering of my mood some days. I am reminded that due to less exposure to the sun's rays, we don't receive as much Vitamin D as we need. What about you? Are you getting enough Vitamin D?
Vitamin D from the sun helps regulate the production of the brain hormone serotonin, which helps increase our sense of well-being. When the skin is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays, a cholesterol compound in the skin is transformed into a precursor of Vitamin D. During the fall and winter, adequate exposure to have this happen can be a challenge.
This is one of the reasons Health Canada recommends Vitamin D supplementation in it's Canada's Food Guide. The "Advice for different ages and stages" section reads: "The need for vitamin D increases after the age of 50. In addition to following Canada's Food Guide, everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 10µg (400 IU)."
Vitamin D is also important for children. It is necessary for growth, as well as the normal growth and development of bones and teeth.
Vitamin D is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. It protects against muscle weakness, is involved in the regulation of the heartbeat, enhances immunity, and is necessary for thyroid regulation and normal blood clotting.
Phyllis A Balch, CNC, in her book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing, writes that studies have shown that at least 40% of people have less than optimal levels of Vitamin D in their blood. She goes on to say that those who live above the 37th latitude obtain virtually no Vitamin D from sunlight between November and March. That would be we Canadians!
The form of Vitamin D that we get from food (or food supplements) is not fully active. It requires conversion by the liver and then by the kidneys, before it becomes fully active. Intestinal disorders and liver and gallbladder malfunctions interfere with the absorption of Vitamin D. Some cholesterol lowering drugs, antacids and steroid hormones such as cortisone can also interfere with absorption. Food sources of Vitamin D include cod liver oil, fatty saltwater fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines, tuna, halibut) oysters, dairy products, eggs, butter, liver, shiitake and chanterelle mushrooms, sweet potatoes, vegetable oil and herbs including alfalfa, nettle and parsley.
Phyllis Balch, CNC also writes that not getting enough Vitamin D in the diet or from direct sunlight has been linked to the development of several diseases, including heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancers such as breast and colon. As baby boomers age, the risk of osteoporosis increases. Taking more than 400 IU of Vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of fractures by 20% in those over 65 years of age. But how much is needed is needed to optimize health is still open to debate.
I reiterate, Health Canada recommends that in addition to following Canada's Food Guide, everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 10µg (400 IU)." My advice is eat the very best way you can, (for a summary see this post), include Vitamin D containing foods as mentioned above and consider supplementation, especially at this time of year. It's your body, your health. You decide!
Please send me your comments. I love getting feedback! And don't forget to leave a link back to your own blog too if you have one using the commentluv feature here on my site.
Enjoy the beautiful fall season!

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2012 — Nora Ephron was the most famous person I ever knew – before she got famous.
We started work at the New York Post at the same time in 1963, where we both wrote features and celebrity profiles. After that, I kept a close and envious eye on her smooth and steady career climb, measuring it against my own frenzied scramble. She was clever and deft at career building, which annoyed me.
I craved her success, but it was honestly earned, partly because she was so adept at meeting major players, never my strong suit, and knew how to mix with important people I could but observe from afar. She gave parties and invited the Right People – Calvin Trillin, whom Nora and everyone but me called "Bud," Pete Hamill, and Tom Wolfe, whom she briefly dated.
I was stunned to hear of her death at 71 this week, because she had always seemed so indomitable; anyone who knew Nora figured she would live to be 110. Her credo, learned at the deathbed of her screenwriting mother, was "everything is copy," which she abided by, turning her female experiences into clever essays and then movies that especially touched women.
A Cultural Flash Point
Her first best-known piece was a gutsy confession about her small breasts, which captured attention and admiration from women and curious men; she reprised that piece with her recent essay about feeling bad about her aging neck. She could write wickedly of other people, but her first and best target was herself, part of her appeal.
Always in the center of the cultural flash point, she wrote a column for Esquire on women and later on the media. Ephron seemed to know everyone famous who mattered and she even married famous men, most famously Carl Bernstein, at the height of his Watergate fame, and she later turned his affair with a diplomat's wife into a bestselling revenge memoir, "Heartburn." She included recipes at the end of each chapter, almost anticipating her final film on Julia Child, "Julie and Julia."
Ephron first married Dan Greenburg, author of the best selling "How to Be a Jewish Mother," but her third and best marriage was to Nicholas Pileggi, author of "Wiseguy," "Casino" and other Mafia-based books and later films. I cynically claimed she married Pileggi to match the earlier famous Nick and Nora team of "The Thin Man" films.
As I recall her in this month's American Scholar magazine in a piece titled "Yellow Journalist," a recollection of my first fumbling years at the New York Post, Nora was always fearless, mingling easily at 23 with hardboiled editors who struck terror in my heart. She argued with them as equals.
We often ate lunch at the seedy Post luncheonette, where she held forth with easy authority, laying down lines with utter certainty and wit that defied dispute. If you dared take issue, she would say with bemused disdain, "Oh, Jerry, how can you possibly say that?" But she was equally quick with compliments, and even 45 years later, when I ran into her on a book promotion talk for her memoir, "I Remember Nothing," she still remembered a profile I had done of Jack Benny where he fell asleep on me.
Nora had a withering way of with a wisecrack, always batting her large eyes while delivering the punch line with the precise comic timing that she later used to great effect in her screenplays. She might have had an equally big career as a standup comedian.
The outpouring of major TV tributes from every corner — PBS, CNN, NPR and network news shows — with heartfelt remembrances by Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, Ariana Huffington, etc., all eager to make sure we know they were close personal pals of Nora, revealed that Ephron was truly a media darling. I would guess that most Americans likely never heard of her until she died.
Wisecracking and Romantic
Nora would have winced at the sentimental mourning, though she was a romantic beneath her wisecracking façade, at least in her films. Listening to the emotional outpouring upon her death, I wondered what it was about her that captivated the media beyond her popular, pleasant but unexceptional films. She turned out smart, engaging but traditional movies, but she was no Billy Wilder or Preston Sturges.
In fact, Ephron leaves behind a fairly small body of work —only six major movies —"Silkwood" (as co-writer) and (as writer and/or director) "When Harry Met Sally," "Sleepless in Seattle," "You've Got Mail," "Heartburn," "Julie and Julia" (and about half a dozen forgotten works – "This Is My Life," "My Blue Heaven," "Michael"), plus five collections of magazine pieces. One critic said that she lost the sharp candor and sardonic edge of her essays in her films, which settled for pat, romantic, Hollywood endings. My hunch is that she didn't want to disturb her popularity with anything too challenging.
What made her unique was that she became one of the few female film directors who came to movies as almost a total outsider, like Woody Allen. Her leap from writing to directing startled colleagues and friends. Her parents were screenwriters, but she didn't make her first movie until her mid-40s, and seemed, as always, to have no doubt that she could master it.
Ephron didn't break any ground, as Allen has, nor turned out nearly as many films, but even now you can count the number of contemporary women movie directors on one hand, if that. I actually can't think of more than one or two, whose names escape me.
Something about Nora Ephron resonated beyond her talents as a writer and a movie director. She became a personality, a go-to wit who could be relied upon for a clever wisecrack on deadline, a role model for women writers and would be female directors. She also had fierce passions and a love for New York life, again like Woody Allen.
Amazingly (at least if you knew her as just a hustling cub reporter), her death made the front page of the New York Times, every journalist's fondest if most far-fetched dream. Yet again Nora had triumphed, but she would have had something funny to say about it.

Bach LR180S-43 Stradivarius Professional Bb TrumpetThis is the Bach LR180S-43 Stradivarius Bb trumpet. It features a .459" medium-large bore, lightweight body, standard weight yellow brass one-piece hand-hammered #43 bell, reverse construction #25LR lead pipe, monel pistons, and a silver-plate finish. Comes with Bach 7C mouthpiece and a zippered Cordura covered wood shell case.The term reversed lead pipe refers to the lead pipe inserting into the tuning slide rather than the other way around. This makes for less resistance and as a result, a more free-blowing horn. It is impeccably constructed and has a clear, present and brilliant sound. It is a favorite of classical and jazz players alike, and should be on the list of horns to consider when selecting the instrument of your dreams.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I got a #43 of this two years ago, and it's amazing. The difference between this and my old student horn astounds me: the response, tone quality; everything about it is just wonderful. Did not affect the extent of my range, but increases my endurance in the high register by a great amount. Recommended to anyone looking for an excellent trumpet.
The LR43 is easily my favorite stock Bach Bb, though the standard 43 is close.
The 43 is definitely superior to both the 37 and 72, in my opinion. It is a little freer than the 37, and brightens up easier than the 72. Not quite as focused as the 37, but I like that.
The sound is not too bright; it's rich and resonant in a way that is easier to find than the 37. The reverse leadpipe makes the horn blow very freely, while not sapping your endurance. Between that and the 43 bell, the slots feel comfortably wide.
Also, in general, I prefer the feel of Bach valves to most other large manufacturers.
I have used my LR43 in solo, band, orchestral, and various jazz idioms, all with success. The sound can be shaped any way it needs to be, especially with the right mouthpiece.
The reverse lead-pipe (LR) makes for a more difficultly centered pitch. The lightweight body is made light by thinner tubes than other Bach horns. This also makes it harder to center pitches well. For a well trained player it is wonderful, but for a student from beginner through high school I would not recommend. Playing on this horn for years has caused me to develop bad habits. I am constantly fighting the pitch to keep it where I want it to be. I would recommend looking into the 37 or the 72 with standard lead-pipes. You really need to play a horn before purchasing so if you can, go to the WWBW store and try some of the horns they have. Talk to your instructors about what kind of horn to purchase before taking any action.
I've played many, many horns and found this to be the best for a variety of reasons. As stated by other reviewers, the LR makes the horn a little more free-blowing - nice for projection into a large room or freedom to blow a little without being overbearing in more intimate settings. The 72 bell I have a couple unique experiences with - I've had both a beginning and intermediate student try out all three bell sizes (37, 43, 72) side by side in a music store, and also have let many students of mine try out my LR-72 after playing their own horn for a while. (all this of course with their own mouthpiece). EVERY person notes a difference with the 72 bell. After playing my trumpet, three of my students relatively quickly thereafter bought their own with the same exact specifications. A fourth is in process right now! Please note that it is best if you can try out the actual horn you're going to buy as each one is slightly different and when you're spending this much you want to get it exactly right. Not to say the price is bad - it's actually quite good! The only thing better than this is the Monette stuff but then you better be filthy rich and have a year to wait to get one of their horns. Their mouthpieces, though, make a huge difference - I use MFIII Prana with my Bach LR180-72 and it's an amazing combination. Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

Botany Bay National Park
The 458-hectare national park straddles the heads of Botany Bay , 15km south of Sydney Harbour. Captain Cook landed here in 1770, naming the bay after the botanical specimens his naturalist Joseph Banks found here.

Studded with imposing edifices, long, lean Martin Place was closed to traffic in 1971, forming a terraced pedestrian mall.
A 12-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay or a short drive from Manly, Taronga Zoo has 75 hectares of bushy harbour hillside chock-full of kangaroos, koalas and similarly hirsute Australians. The zoo's 4000 critters have million-dollar harbour views but seem blissfully unaware of the privilege.
With a discordant soundtrack of blaring Canto pop, Dixon St is the heart and soul of Chinatown: a narrow, shady pedestrian mall with a string of restaurants and their urgently attendant spruikers.
This epic 10km, four-hour walk tracks west from Manly through rugged Sydney Harbour National Park – wear sturdy shoes. It's easy to forget you're right in the middle of Sydney Check the surf at Manly Beach then cruise down The Corso to Oceanworld on West Esplanade.
This natural-history museum, established just 40 years after the First Fleet dropped anchor, strives to shrug off its museum-that-should-be-in-a-museum feel.
Once a tough, working-class neighbourhood, Balmain now rivals Paddington in Victorian-era desirability – with the added advantage of being surrounded by water and city-bound ferries. Darling St traverses the spine of Balmain's peninsula, and makes for a decent pub crawl.
Vaucluse House is an imposing, turreted specimen of Gothic Australiana set amid 10 hectares of lush gardens. The house was started in 1805 and tinkered with into the 1860s.
The 309m-tall Sydney Tower (built 1970–1981) offers unbeatable 360-degree views from the observation level 250m up. On a clear day you'll see west to the Blue Mountains, south to Botany Bay, east across the harbour to the silvery Pacific and down onto the city streets.
Unbelievably, this High-Victorian masterpiece (1898) was repeatedly slated for demolition before it was restored in the mid-1980s.
Administered by the Royal Botanic Gardens, The Domain is a large grassy tract east of Macquarie St, set aside by Governor Phillip in 1788 for public recreation. Phillip's intent rings true: today's lunchtime workers use the space to work up a sweat or eat their lunch.

Watch Austin and McClain, two freshman Bloggers, guide you through a virtual tour of Samford's campus. Bow Wow Bulldogs, Bow Wow Bloggers!
One of the major things that drew me to Samford was the Brock School of Business. A unique element of the school is a class for first year students called "World of Business." For business majors, this is most likely the largest class you will ever take at Samford. You are split up into groups of 5 students, and each group comes up with an idea for starting a company. Throughout the semester, the main assignment for the class is writing a business plan for the company your group wants to start. Ideas for companies range from workout facilities to movie rental kiosks business to pager systems for restaurants. There are really no limitations regarding the business your group can start. Some businesses are based in Birmingham, while others are based around the country or even around the world. The final business plans are submitted to the Regions New Venture Challenge where the top three groups win cash prizes!
While the business plan is being completed out of class, very successful businessmen and businesswomen come in and talk to the class about their area of expertise. So far this semester, speakers such as Harry B. Brock, Jr. (founder of CompassBank), Betsy McAtee (CEO of Dreamland BBQ), and John Cassimus (founder of Zoës Kitchen) have come to the World of Business class. It is really interesting to hear these speakers discuss their personal story and also their business models for several reasons. For one, you begin to realize that these executives and founders of very successful businesses came from humble roots and worked their way up in the business world through hard work. They were sitting in a college class not too long ago wondering the same things and having the same questions we have about the business world. It is encouraging to know that success is attainable through hard work and perseverance. Furthermore, these speakers talk about many of the same things that you and your group are working on for your business plan. It is neat to see that what we are doing while creating a business plan parallels the things real businesses are doing to succeed. Plus, the speakers tell many stories that are really interesting (and often times comical) about things that happened to them during their career.

Matthew Cordle: Ohio man who posted online confession pleads guilty
An Ohio man who posted an online video confession to driving drunk and killing a 61-year-old father of two pleaded guilty at a court hearing on Wednesday, his attorney said.
Matthew Cordle, 22, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He has been in custody since turning himself in last week and faces a possible prison term of 8 1/2 years for the crime.
Defense attorney, Martin Midian said Cordle is "at peace" with his decision.
"He hopes it provides some sort of closure for the family of his victim," Midian said.
According to the indictment, Cordle had a blood alcohol level of 0.191, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 in Ohio, when he crashed into and killed Vincent Canzani on June 22.
In his 3-1/2-minute video confession, titled "I killed a man," Cordle admitted to drinking until he blacked out and driving the wrong way down a Columbus, Ohio, highway.
Midian said he asked Cordle not to release the video until after prosecutors brought charges against him but that Cordle wanted to "cleanse his soul" and to say he was sorry.
"He meant this. There is no self-serving element. He is concerned about raising awareness about drunk driving," Midian added. "He pleaded guilty to fulfill the promise he had made," Midian said.
The video first appeared on a website hosted by "because I said I would," described as "a social movement dedicated to the importance of a promise." Its founder, Alex Sheen, walked across Ohio in June to raise awareness of sexual violence after three women were rescued from a decade of confinement and abuse at the home of a Cleveland man, Ariel Castro.
Cordle's video is the latest in a series of recent crimes that involved online posts, in the United States and abroad.
In August, Florida resident Derek Medina posted a Facebook message to "friends" that he had killed his wife after she started punching him, and posted a picture of her body on the floor. He has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder.
In April, a man in Vietnam surrendered to authorities there after confessing on Facebook to killing his wife.

Graco Table Fit High Chair
good for the price
Claudia from Golden, CO– Verified Buyer
Although is an sturdy and good quality chair, I think is sometimes a little bit uncomfortable in comparison with other chairs... you must to be aware about you child size because that double table system, one on top of another makes the table too tight I think
From then on, whatever category it entered, Graco set the standard: the firm's Pack N' Play Portable Playards, designed by Nate Saint, the son of the Swyngomatic's inventor, was introduced in 1987, and achieved the same kind of success as Graco's wind-up swings. The Pack N' Play is now found in millions of homes across North America. Graco raised the bar further when it introduced the Travel System, the first product that allowed you to quickly click a car seat into and out of a stroller, making life easier for mom and dad by allowing them to move a sleeping infant from house to automobile to stroller without waking the little one up.
Today, Graco continues its tradition of innovation, with products like the aluminum-framed Quattro Tour stroller and the Pack 'n Play SPORT which is the perfect choice for families who enjoy outdoor fun. In 1998, Graco proudly acquired Century Car Seats, combining two of the most respected brand names in baby products, and leading to innovative products like the TurboBooster youth booster car seat.
Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, the dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products that inspire parents and babies alike.

By Suzanne Plunkett
British sports fans are a serious bunch. When it comes to football (they never call it soccer), many would rather lose their home than miss their team score a winning goal. Club allegiance is often demonstrated with tribal passion – influencing tattoos, clothing and even choice of marital partners.
When American football makes a rare appearance in London, it's somewhat of a surprise to see the seriousness of the sport replaced with a more frivolous obsession: cheerleaders.
That's not to say British fans have no interest in the sport. When the Chicago Bears took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a showcase game at Wembley Stadium in October, I spoke to plenty of Brits among the American expats paying homage to their national sport. Many professed as much fanaticism as the American supporters who had traveled from the States specifically to see their team.
But as a photographer who had covered both kinds of football matches on either side of the Atlantic and grown to love both sports, it's hard to ignore a few major differences in the fan experience.
Firstly, there's the food. Growing up in the States, some of my earliest football memories are of the chow served up at games. When I was about 10 years old, my dad would take us to the old Met Stadium to see the Minnesota Vikings Play. We would wade through a sea of purple and gold jerseys to our seats, wipe off the snow and start hailing food vendors. They sold us hot dogs, soda pop, peanuts, hot chocolate, popcorn and if I was lucky, a jumbo box of Milk Duds.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors scored 21 points apiece to help the Utah Jazz beat the Portland Trail Blazers 97-91 on Thursday night.
Kanter and Favours combined for 21 in the fourth quarter for Utah, which lost 120-114 to Portland on Monday. Kanter also finished with 12 rebounds.
The preseason game was tight throughout until Kanter and Favours took over midway through the fourth.
"We both played good," Favors said. "We came out and played hard and gave a lot of energy."
Wesley Matthews led Portland with 24 points. LaMarcus Aldridge had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Nicolas Batum finished with 17 points and 10 boards.
Utah's reserves outscored the team's starters. Jazz point guard Mo Williams rested for precautionary reasons.
The Blazers, who open the regular season on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, committed 25 turnovers and went 5 for 21 from 3-point range.
"There were 25 turnovers where we just gave them the ball," coach Terry Stotts said. "When over a fourth of your possessions are giving the ball to the other team, that's hard to win like that."
Portland rookie Damian Lillard, who played his college ball just up the road for Weber State, was 4 for 14 from the field and finished with 12 points. The point guard also committed five turnovers after scoring 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting in Monday's victory.
"It's always tough against a team two times in a row," said Lillard, who was cheered by more than 100 Weber State fans, boosters and coaches. "They came out, they played physical, they were active and they made plays that we didn't. As for me, I missed some good looks and probably could have taken better care of the ball. But they played a great game."
The Jazz used an 8-0 run to open an 85-78 lead in the fourth quarter. Favours and Kanter finished off the surge with consecutive jumpers.
Portland led 47-45 at halftime despite going 2 for 11 from long range. Matthews went 5 for 6 from the field in the second quarter and had 14 points at the break.
Utah showed off its front-court depth during one impressive display in the first half, with Kanter blocking Meyers Leonard and Favours jamming at the other end on a pass from Jamaal Tinsley to tie it at 41 with 3:21 left. Favours also converted a three-point play after a steal and nice pass by swingman DeMarre Carroll.
Al Jefferson led Utah's starters with 15 points and nine rebounds.
"I really liked the way the starting group came out in the third quarter with a sense of urgency and got us going," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "Then the group that finished did a great job of understanding what it takes to finish."
NOTES: Randy Foye started in place of Williams, who was held out by coaches after dealing with a strained groin in preseason. . Stotts said he would make final roster decisions Saturday. . Corbin received a technical foul late in the first quarter.

An array of different styles. The convent was founded in the thirteenth century, although most of the Actual convent dates from after this period. The oldest piece of written evidence that cites the convent is from 1228. However, it was not until the fifteenth century that it was given its current name of Santo Domingo. The convent's church is one of the largest in all of Santiago.
It has a basilica-based design with three naves and three apses. The architectural style is between Romanesque and Gothic. Most of the convent however, is Baroque, most notable in its façade. In 1912 it was declared a National Monument. The great Galician novelist is buried in the interior of the convent temple: Rosalia de CASTRO. It currently houses the Museum of the Galician People.

Contest winner will receive a $100,000 grant
By Chris Fish
INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH -- With two months left in the SC Johnson Green Choice Challenge, Indian Harbour Beach is currently ranked 11 out of the 50 communities, competing across the country.
The first-ever SC Johnson Green Choice Challenge, which began in July and ends on Dec. 31, offers a $100,000 grant to the community with the highest recycling participation.
"I am most excited about our level of recycling going up," said Indian Harbour Beach Mayor Gene Newberry. "Our results show we are where we need to be in the future in terms of recycling and self-sufficiency."
Mayor Newberry said he wants to encourage all residents to continue recycling and logging in their progress at www.recyclebank.com.
City Manger Jackie Burns said city officials are overjoyed with the participation being made by residents.
"We are thrilled to be 11 out of 50. This is a win-win situation for us," she said. "We hope to win, but, if we don't, the contest is still a win for the environment and the people."
Ms. Burns said the contest has helped the city, which she said was already one of the recycling cities, become even more environmentally friendly.
Ms. Burns said she hopes residents of Indian Harbour Beach will continue the progress they have had since the beginning of the contest despite the holidays approaching.
"We really hope everyone continues doing what they have been doing," she said. "I know this is a busy time of the year, but I am very excited. This contest has really set the tone for recycling."
Indian Harbour Beach represents the state of Florida in the SC Johnson Green Choice Challenge. The contest coincides with a federal mandate to reduce landfill waste.
In July, Mayor Newberry said the contest points the country toward an environmentally friendly direction.
"It's not like the old days where you are either an environmentalist or you aren't," he said. "Everyone is an environmentalist now. Everyone has to be green. It's just seeing the big picture of how smart we have to be and the planet we have to leave for another generation."

Kira, I can humbly avoid the obligatory death note reference of your name, but that fact that you type that, then try to pass it off as a joke annoys me. Books, especially good ones, are very hard to write. Also sarcasm DOES NOT translate well into text as well as several other kinds of humor, what you typed could be interpreted in dozens of different ways, if it was a joke (which I doubt) you should make it clear.

Comments On Oct 23, 2013:The Seal Mate was thinner than I thought it would be (for good reason)! I used it on a super leaky right front fork seal on a 1994 KLX 250. I followed the youtube instructions and ran the Seal Mate around the fork seal three times. I cycled the front fork between cleanings. I was interrupted during the cleaning and noticed that the fork seal was still leaking after the third pass. When I returned, I wiped the fork tube, and to my amazement, the seal was no longer leaking. I remembered that the video mentioned that the seal needs to reseat after cleaning. I purchased this product on the hunch that a $5 investment would save me $175-200 in repair costs. I gambled and won. The seal is good as new. I believe that the Seal Mate is so thin because of the tolerance between the fork seal and tube. I don't think that this product will last forever. I expect to get a couple of uses out of it.

As other reviewers have mentioned, it's an excellent book, since the author had the privilege to work in some of the top software companies that we aspire to.
But if you're hoping to crack one of those interviews as the author would like you to, by reading her book, you'll be disappointed. No book containing just questions (150 in this case) can cover the vastness of the software field.
So, my advice would be to first study the topics of algorithms, programming etc. from good books. If you study them thoroughly and practise, you will not need this book.
Was it ever your dream to be in one of the top-notch companies India (the likes of Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe etc) & you thought the interview rounds were too hard. Well, the rounds are hard (believe me) only because facing those questions on the spot makes your brain go drifting somewhere else (happened to me..).
But if you already had a taste of whats going to come, you are prepared, you are confident & you will give it your best shot.
With a systematic approach even tough goals can be achieved, this book will help you in that systematic approach(from A to Z). Before this book I u... (Expand)
This book is very straightforward, author assumes that you are Pro programmer with proficiency in data structures algorithms and their implementation and coding language, so she presents you straight answers to the problems, no explanation.
So professionals preparing to switch their job should read this book it is great for them but students of final year computer science or IT stream won't gain much from this book instead they'll get confused..
I have gone through many interview prep books and frankly speaking, there isn't any better alternative out there. Some are loosely organized, some are bland and some are too C -centric. These days, most coders like me are usually comfortable with Java and C# concepts and with the liberty in interviews to code in any language, this insider's account of interviews and how to prepare for it is apt and meaty. I also think that you should not stick to any particular timeline for buying this book. 1 week or 1 year before you face the big day does not matter at all. This book will shape the way... (Expand)

Best book for interview preparation. Detailed explanation for every question!! I highly recommend this book for all those who are aspiring to be one of the top companies.
But you need to have prior knowledge of programming to use this book. (View complete review)
There's a big tear/gash on the cover. But I'm still giving this 4 stars because the print quality is good, and that's all I need. (View complete review)
loved the book as it is very crisp in terms of the things covered , and very good coverage of examples ... a perfect book for getting ready for an interview. (View complete review)
I completed this book with only high school coding experience and self learning concepts over youtube. The solutions make a lot of sense and are mostly well explained. Even though I got through the book without much experience in CS it doesn't fail to be challenging and interesting. (View complete review)

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Ohio State Highway Patrol dispatchers say the driver who fled the scene after being stopped for a traffic violation Thursday is now in custody.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Patrick Hammond, 42, was arrested Friday evening at the Petro truck stop on I-280 in Lake Township.
Hammond was observed by an officer in the parking lot of the truck stop and ran away on foot.
A canine officer was able to find Hammond a short time later.
Around 2 p.m. Thursday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol says troopers pulled over Hammond on I-280 near the turnpike in Lake Township. The patrol says during the traffic stop, Hammond started acting strange. The trooper thought Hammond may have had a gun, but when he went to grab Hammond, Hammond pushed the trooper away, jumped the guardrail and ran into a wooded area nearby.
Troopers say that Hammond dropped a loaded .38 caliber weapon near the guardrail as he fled. Despite the fact he dropped a gun, the patrol says Hammond should be considered armed and dangerous. They also found ammunition in Hammond's car.
After a four-hour manhunt Thursday, which involved searching by helicopter and checking area motels and truck stops, troopers called off the all-out search. They will, however, continue to patrol the area and watch for the suspect.Hammond is currently on federal probation for armed robbery. "You never know who you're stopping, or where they're coming from, or what they're up to," said OSHP Lt. Bill Stidham. "The majority of the public that we deal with are - 95 percent of them are - good people. It's just the bad apples we run into, like this gentleman."
The Bowling Green Post of the Highway Patrol handled the search and towed the car for processing.
On Friday, search efforts continued in Wood County. The OSHP said they also would search in Lorain County, where Hammond lives, because they believed he might try to make his way back home.
The sergeant on duty says the patrol is investigating exactly what happened during the traffic stop. Additional charges related to the traffic stop are pending.
Hammond was taken to the Wood County Justice Center and is expected to be arraigned on Monday.

That same thing happened to us in Utah. With the stroke of a pen Bill Clinton created the Grand Staircase National Monument. It removed an area lager than Rhode Island and Delaware combined from use by local residents for anything other than sight seeing and tourist related service industries. Ranching, logging and other uses have stopped. That is why our legislature is trying to have Federal land in the state, 66% of the state, returned to state jurisdiction. At the very least, all BLM land should be given back to state jurisdiction.

|All formats
The physical characteristics of a motion picture. 007 is valid in all formats so you can code for the physical characteristics of the parts of an item such as accompanying material.
Use field 007 for motion pictures and their accompanying sound characteristics. Use for motion pictures whether published separately or as individual components of a kit.
|Use the following examples as guidelines for entering data in field 007 for motion pictures.
|[Item is a motion picture; on a reel; in color; standard sound aperture; on medium; optical track; 16 mm; monaural sound; production elements not applicable; positive emulsion; reference print/viewing copy; safety base (triacetate); three-layer color; kind of color stock unknown; no apparent deterioration; complete film; and film inspected June 1986.]
|[Item is a motion picture; on a reel; in black-and-white; standard silent aperture; no sound; 35 mm; kind of sound and production elements not applicable; positive emulsion; reference print; safety base (triacetate); color categories and stock not applicable; no apparent deterioration; incomplete film; and film was inspected December 1985.]
1st Indicator
|Undefined. The 1st indicator position is undefined and contains a blank ().
2nd Indicator
|Undefined. The 2nd indicator position is undefined and contains a blank ().
|‡a Category of material
|A one-character alphabetic code that indicates the category of material to which the item belongs is a motion picture.
|‡b Specific material designation
|A one-character alphabetic code that describes the special class of material (usually the class of physical object) to which an item belongs (e.g., a film reel).
|‡d Color
|The color characteristics of a motion picture.
|‡e Motion picture presentation format
|Presentation format is the format used in the production of a projected image (e.g., Cinerama, IMAX), indicating whether the motion picture uses a standard or special presentation format. Treat motion pictures as standard nonwide-screen (code a), unless otherwise noted. Codes b, c, d, and e apply to wide-screen presentation techniques.
|‡f Sound on medium or separate
Use to indicate whether the sound is on the same medium as the film or on a separate medium. Assume that the item has sound and that the sound is on the medium, unless otherwise noted. If the item is silent, do not use subfield ‡f.
|‡g Medium for sound
|Indicates the specific medium used to carry the sound of an item (whether that sound is carried on the item itself or is in the form of accompanying material) and the type of sound playback required. Used in conjunction with the information coded in subfield ‡f (Sound on medium or separate) and subfield ‡h (Dimensions). Typically, the carriers of sound are: 1) optical and/or magnetic track on a film reel or encased in a cassette or cartridge; 2) audio or video tape that may be on a reel or encased in a cassette or cartridge; and 3) sound or videodisc. Assume sound on tape to be magnetic. Use codes c through f for films in which the sound is separate. If the item is silent, do not use subfield ‡g.
|‡h Dimensions
|Use to indicate the width of motion picture film. Only codes that exactly match the measurements of the item as given in the physical description should be used. If no code exactly matches, code z is used.
|‡i Configuration of playback channels
|Use to indicate the configuration of playback channels for the sound portion of a motion picture. This should be coded based on a clear indication of intended playback. These codes do not refer to the configuration of channels originally recorded unless those channels are all intended to be available on playback. The code should match information in the physical description or in a note.
|‡j Production elements
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate whether the film is part of a complete production or is a preliminary or post-production element. Materials described in this character position do not represent a complete work (i.e., a finished film). If more than one element applies, code for the predominant element.
|‡k Positive/Negative aspect
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate whether the motion picture film is positive or negative. The positive/negative aspect of motion picture film is related to the kind of emulsion bonded to and supported by a film base.
|‡l Generation
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate how far away from the original material the item is (e.g., the actual negative film or original videotape in the camera). Generation data is used to evaluate the quality of available copies, to make preservation decisions, and to identify materials available for viewing and research. The concept of generation represents the photographic process required to create, duplicate, and preserve moving image materials. Material that is produced successively from the original is second, third, fourth, etc. generation material (e.g., original negative to master-positive to duplicate negative to reference print).
|‡m Base of film
|Primarily for archival use. The base material of the moving image, which is the underlying physical material of the motion picture resource. Safety base film is a comparatively nonflammable film base that meets the standard requirements for a safety base. On some film, the phrase safety film appears on the edge of motion pictures. Nitrate film base is a highly flammable film base that does not meet the requirements for safety base film.
|‡n Refined categories of color
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate more specific color characteristics of the moving image than are contained in subfield ‡d (Color). If the color portions of the item include more than one color process, a code for the predominant color process is given. If no single process predominates, use code z. The additional color processes are described in field 500 (General Note).
|‡o Kind of color stock or print
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate the type of color film stock or color print of the motion picture film.
|‡p Deterioration stage
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate the level of deterioration of the motion picture film. Use codes b through h for recording nitrate deterioration. Use codes k through m for recording deterioration of non-nitrate materials (e.g., safety film). Codes are listed in each category according to the seriousness of the deterioration. If more than one condition is applicable to the film in hand, the code for the most serious condition is recorded.
|‡q Completeness
|Primarily for archival use. Use to indicate whether the motion picture being cataloged is judged to be complete.
|‡r Film inspection date
|Primarily for archival use. Six characters that indicate the most recent film inspection date; the date is recorded in the pattern yyyymm (year/month). The film inspection date may be the date the item was cataloged or the date it was viewed. A hyphen is used for any unknown portion of the date. If the date is completely unknown, six hyphens are recorded.
|Field 007 does not print.
