A suit pitting Minnesota's biggest seller of e-pulltabs and the games' manufacturer could disrupt this kind of gambling
A new lawsuit has generated additional questions about the future of e-games, which already are under tremendous pressure.
Photo: GLEN STUBBE • firstname.lastname@example.com,
Minnesota's ill-fated experiment with electronic pulltab games has hit another roadblock, this time a fight between two key players that is threatening to disrupt e-gambling across the state.
The state's largest distributor of electronic pulltab games — games initially destined to fund the Minnesota Vikings stadium — has won a temporary restraining order against the games' manufacturer, Acres 4.0.
Acres threatened to disconnect its computer servers at bars and restaurants across the state if the distributor, Express Games MN, didn't make its overdue payments.
Express Games had withheld payments and sued Acres 4.0 in December, claiming that the Nevada manufacturer had refused to get appropriate licenses for its Apple products. That eroded Express' ability to bring on new devices and new customers, the lawsuit claims.
The clash marks a major falling out between two parties that had been instrumental in Minnesota's rollout of the e-games. John Acres, CEO of Acres 4.0, and Jon Weaver, CEO of Express Games MN, had stood side by side at the State Capitol during the legislative hearings on the Vikings stadium and during the first day's rollout of the games in 2012. Their companies were consulted by the Minnesota Gambling Control Board as it devised its predictions for how much money charitable gambling would contribute to the state's share of the $1 billion Vikings stadium.
Since those happier days, state officials were forced to find a new stadium funding source. Projections for e-pulltab sales were slashed from $35 million a year to less than $2 million.
'What else?'
The lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, is the latest disappointment for dozens of charities that have signed contracts for the electronic games — from youth hockey groups to VFW and Lions clubs.
"People will just go, 'Oh man! What else can go wrong?' " said Al Lund, executive director of Allies Charities of Minnesota.
Tom Barrett, executive director of the Minnesota Gambling Control Board, said the board is concerned about the conflict.
Express Games Minnesota is the first and largest provider of e-games in the state. Of the $1.9 million in e-pulltab sales in December, $1.5 million were from Express Games.
"It's a dispute their lawyers need to work out with Apple," said Barrett.
That said, the "integrity and operations" of the electronic games were not compromised, Barrett said.
"The servers weren't shut down: It's business as usual," Barrett said. "Let's let these two vendors work out their differences."
John Acres said the charges are "without merit."
"We sincerely believe the claims against Acres 4.0 are without merit and we will vigorously assert our position in the appropriate court of law," said Acres.
The fight begins
Underlying the lawsuit is a loss of exclusive distributorship that Express Games MN has held for Acres' e-pulltabs — the lightweight iPad games with colorful graphics that rolled out in September 2012.

RICHMOND – Residents aren't cheering about the latest proposal being kicked around for the aging City Stadium.
A number of recommendations have been on table to redevelop this property. Some ideas include a mixture of apartments and new housing.
The City Stadium Task Force organized a panel with people from all over region and asked for their opinions on the next step to take with this property. The panel suggested the best use of this property would be to build new housing and apartments.
Eldon Smith has lived right across the street from city stadium for the past 20 years - and he's not in favor of changing the landscape.
"I wouldn't suggest apartments," he says. "I would like to keep it just how it is for the sports events."
City Stadium is home for the Richmond Kickers soccer team.
Councilman Parker Algelasto is a member of the stadium task force and points out no decision has been made.
Currently, the city is conducting two studies on how to enhance the use of this property, including renovations to make it a better sports plex.
"As revitalization as a sports plex… is from the revenue...can it be sustained? That's the big challenge...and how many events do you need to have? What sports do you need to have? Currently, we only have soccer. But what about a professional lacrosse team? Could we have a professional team also play on the same field? What if there were other uses of a soccer field for other teams besides the Kickers?"
The councilman says he's hoping the two studies will be done by December and then the city can move forward to get input from residents.

The 411 on MSG Allergies
You've just enjoyed a delicious Chinese meal and suddenly you don't feel quite right. Could you be getting sick-or are you having an allergic reaction to MSG? Short for a food additive called monosodium glutamate, MSG can cause a host of uncomfortable, allergy-like symptoms in those who are particularly sensitive to it.
How an MSG Allergy Works
While the systems of MSG allergies can mimic other more serious allergies, MSG reactions don't actually involve an immune system response and are therefore not considered a "true" allergy. However, research presented by Johns Hopkins scientists in 2000 revealed that in some cases, although MSG may not cause an allergy itself, its presence can over-stimulate the immune system, which in turn affects your body's response to various triggers.
The Symptoms
More importantly, MSG allergies can make you feel pretty miserable. Review the following list of common symptoms to better understand the range of problems MSG allergies can cause.
- Flushing
- Warm feeling
- Lightheadedness
- Feelings of detachment
- Pressure in the face
- Chest pain
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Nausea
The symptoms typically come on suddenly after eating foods that contain MSG. Often (although not always) the more you eat of the food, the worse the side effects will be. And as bad as they can make you feel, the good news is that they usually go away on their own and won't leave any long-term effects.
A Link to Asthma?
Some people also believe that asthmatics are particularly sensitive to MSG allergies and that ingesting it can provoke an attack. To better understand the connection, researchers conducted a study that was published in 1999 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. As part of the research, a total of 100 asthmatic participants were monitored to determine whether MSG intake could trigger their respiratory distress. Interestingly enough, there was no difference between those patients who ingested MSG and those who were given a placebo. Further, none of the participants showed signs of MSG- provoked asthma. As a result, scientists question whether people with asthma are any more susceptible to a reaction than anyone else.
Play it Safe
Regardless of the MSG-Asthma connection, if you suffer from MSG allergies, you will want to avoid this chemical at all costs. You don't have to swear off Chinese food, though, to steer clear of the effects. Many restaurants will prepare your order without MSG if you make the request.
In addition, if you suffer from food allergies in addition to MSG, it can be a good idea anyway to protect yourself by finding out what ingredients are used in any foods you order outside of the house. In addition, be prepared to handle a serious reaction by always carrying an epi-pen. With a little effort, you can enjoy your favorite Chinese dishes without risk of getting sick.

In the Ring with Palin and Biden
Guest blogger Gina: Political junkies are frothing at the mouth over tonight's must-see vice presidential debate. If you don't eat, breathe and sweat politics, here's a breakdown of what to expect when Republican Sarah Palin gets in the ring with Democrat Joe Biden.
This is a do or die debate for the Alaskan Governor who has lost serious street cred with her conservative base. Palin's embarrassing blunders on primetime have made her look like the village idiot. When CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked how living in Alaska gives her foreign policy credentials, Palin answered, "Well, it certainly does because our -- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And they're in Russia..." Another brain fart like this could be the last nail in the coffin for the moose-hunting mom.
She needs to up her game, prove she can think on her feet and give answers that won't serve up more red meat to the ravenous haters.
Joe "shoot from the hip" Biden also needs to hit it out of the ballpark. His off-the-cuff comments on the campaign trail have sparked some cringe-worthy moments. Biden seems confused by his own message, criticizing Obama's recent ad criticizing McCain. The Delaware Senator will try to show he's a straight shooter from a blue collar, Catholic family. He'll also harp on his foreign policy experience. Going mano-a-mano with a woman raises the stakes in a race that's already hyper sensitive to any signs of sexism. Biden must show Palin some R-E-S-P-E-C-T or he'll get raked over the coals.
Tonight's 90-minute face-off starts at 9 PM ET.

For the first time in nearly 50 years, there will not be a K9 officer on the Erie police force.This comes, as the last officer on the force with a K9, retires.
It's bitter sweet for officer Pete Dregalla, he's retiring after nearly 3 decades on the force.And it's bitter sweet for his partner too, his police K9 is going from a working dog, to a house pet.After 28-years on the force, Erie police patrolman Pete Dregalla is retiring. With him, so will his 7-year old police K9, Sunder.Their retirement means the first time since 1967, that there has not been a police K9 on the force.Sunder is trained as both a patrol dog and drug detection K9.
Over the years, Sunder has proven critical to Erie police, helping officers break up large, unruly crowds, and getting convictions on several drug cases, "Over the years we have caught some burglars in the building. Numerous drug finds. I've been not only to county court I've been to federal court over some of his drug searches, all of which ended up being a good result when the trial was over," said Officer Dregalla.
Erie's police chief says in the immediate future, there will not be any K9's on the force, but it is possible that the 4-legged officers will return to patrol at some point.
"The mayor and I see it the same way," said Erie Police Chief Randy Bowers. "If it's needed and we determine it'll be a plus for the department, and make our policing efforts more effective then I can see us moving in that direction," Chief Bowers added.Right now, the city works in cooperation and relies on State Police K9's for drug cases, and the airport K9 or Mercyhurst University K9 for explosives detection if needed.So, if the city decides to bring K9's back on the force, they'll be trained patrol dogs.Chief Bowers says if they'd work with officers specific hours, during specific shifts where the dogs would be needed the most.
But for partners Dregalla and Sunder, their future will be much more relaxed, "Now he's going to have a life of leisure at home. I've got some things on the back burner so that's going to be our future," said Dregalla.

Jacket potatoes
Cooking in the oven can take time - something many of us don't have. When you come home from a hard day working you don't want to wait for an hour to have dinner. Baked or 'jacket' potatoes take at least sixty minutes for the centres to get soft. A better way is to cook them in the microwave, and if you like the skin to be crisp, finish them off in a hot oven for ten minutes at the end.
Prick a potato with a fork and cook it on full power for about 4-5 minutes (depending on the size). Then put it into a preheated hot oven 200C/400F and cook it on a piece of foil on a high shelf till the skin is crisp and begins to brown (about 10 minutes). Split the potato in half and slide in a large dollop of butter. (If you like a softer consistency, mash the potato flesh with a fork and mix in a tablespoon of milk or cream and then add the butter.)
Kyle Hepworth of Something a week came up with an awesome recipe for Candy Corn on the Cob.
"I don't really like loose corn. I really like corn-on-the-cob. And I like candy corn, so it follows that I would probably love candy-corn-on-the-cob. Unfortunately, I've never seen candy-corn-on-the-cob. So I must make it."
His reasoning is sound. We highly recommend visiting Kyle's blog to read about his step-by-step trial and error process that ultimately led to the delicious creation you see here. Yet another reason to love candy corn!

Excerpted from Robert Baude's "An Alleged Wife"
Letter denying Quok Shee admission to the United States.
Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, RG 85, NARA Pacific Region [San Francisco]
"On September 5 Quok Shee and her "alleged husband" were interrogated by the Chinese Division of the United States Immigration Service. The interrogation was an expected—and dreaded—part of the entry process for most Asians. The standard interrogation always contained a minimum of fifteen to twenty questions; Chew was asked more than one hundred.
There were two initial interrogations: one for Quok Shee and a separate one for Chew Hoy Quong. Both were conducted by Inspector J. B. Warner (through interpreters) and stenographer H. F. Hewitt. Quok Shee's case file contains the verbatim transcripts of both interviews."
Whereabouts in Hong Kong did you marry this woman?
Chew Hoy Quong: Number 20 Wah Hing Street—west.
How was the bedroom lighted?
C: From a window in the hall.
Quok Shee: The bedroom was lighted from a window in front of the building.
How was the parlor lighted?
C: From a window facing the street.

Protests erupted in Turkey on Thursday of last week at Taksim Square in Instanbul. The government wants to tear down this 'green' park and build a shopping mall and a mosque in its place. But the Turkish people wanted their trees enough to stage a sit-in to protest the move.
But now the protests have become way more than just about a park; they've become about grievances with the Islamic authoritarian government in Turkey and they've spread to other cities like Ankara and Izmir. A friend of mine from Turkey tells me the protests are mainly secular demonstrations against the government but adds that other more violent groups with their own grievances have gotten involved to try and take advantage of the situation.
He also says that the local media in Turkey aren't reporting on these protests. Of course that's no surprise as the Islamic government has tried hard to get the media under its thumb in Turkey by jailing journalists that are critical of the government.
Here are a series of short videos from Euronews that document how these protests have changed from a sit-in about a few trees in Taksim Square to a national movement:
They Daily Mail also has a ton of great photos from the protests as well.

Olympics theme dinner!
- v
- VikingKvinna Jan 26, 2010 07:54 AM
For the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, I like to have a theme dinner, with food and drink that is native to the host city/country. That said, I'm not too scrupulous about the authenticity of the food -- it's more about an excuse to make something a little different than the quotidian meals, and of course eating and drinking delicious treats while watching the spectacle.
I'm a little stymied about what to serve for Vancouver. Any suggestions for delicious Canadian dishes? Thanks!
re: monavano
Fondue would be fun! We traditionally do cheese fondue on Christmas Even, but I was disappointed with this year's recipe, so it'd be nice to try again.
I had thought about Poutine (first Canadian food that came to mind) -- it's one of my faves, and I can get great local cheese curds. Plus it would go well with beer. Eh? ;)
Thanks for the response!
Vancouver is described by many as being the melting pot of Canada. Folks might be amazed to know how many Chinese people occupy that city. You'll find a significant East Indian influence there, as well as African and other cultural influences. That's what, IMO, makes Vancouver such a perfect location for the Olympics. So for an Olympic theme dinner, I'd suggest an assortment of dishes representing some of the nations competing (how about foods from those smaller countries that are often under represented in the media) as a tribute to their involvement? Maybe a different menu for each day of the games.
re: Perilagu Khan
That is a nice suggestion about having dishes from more overlooked countries, but I'd be stymied with trying to come up with anything from the Countries listed above.
re: yesidid
In all fairness, I was being just a bit facetious. ;)
Sounds like fun. Here are a few traditional thoughts:
Bloody Caesar's for cocktail, if you can find clamato juice. How about salmon, maybe cedar-planked? Or crab cakes. Or a smoked salmon pizza. Hopefully you can get BC wine? A strange one: I had never had so much Caesar salad til I moved to Vancouver, so if not typically Canadian, it is pretty ubiquitous (you can top it with lots of seafood if you want). And of course Naniamo bars for dessert.
However, you could also take an Asian-inspired route or riff on the hundred Mile diet which originated here or look-up Westcoast cuisine for some ideas.
Here in Vancouver the talk around the table at a recent dinner party was what Greek foods to cook for the Olympics : )
Alder smoked salmon would be a must! Pacific seafood would be good like octopus (calamari rings), oysters, and clam or crab dip. Try serving beer bread, eh, with a nice grainy mustard. Canada produces the vast majority of the world's mustard seed. Canada grows a lot of cranberries which you could serve as a chutney on baked brie, dried cranberries in biscuits, cranberry jelly with cream cheese on crackers, or in a drink. Cranberry juice and Canadian vodka go well together with a squeeze of lime. We're going to make a version of the Quebec specialty, poutine (fries topped with cheese curds and gravy). Ours are going to be Bobsled Poutine Potato Skins topped with curds, bacon, and gravy. Back bacon (aka Canadian bacon) is good on grilled sandwiches with maple glazed caramelized onions, Canadian cheddar, and sauteed apples.
We are also doing an 'opening night' ceremony dinner and for dessert, I am going to make an easy chocolate cake (or molten cake) in the shape of a hockey puck and then lay it on a plate that has been 'decorated' with the Olympic rings (I will likely use ganache and then pipe it on in each colour in advance). I got a bunch of 'swizzle stick' size hockey sticks from a dollar store to complete the look (or you could make cookies in that shape to add the final touch)
Lots of good suggestions. My favorites are oysters, salmon, game meats & B.C. wine or beer....
Not Canadian per se, but you could do onion rings! :)
Definitely salmon, a hot smoked salmon (not lox) is a British Columbia specialty. I used to love the smoked salmon jerky from Granville Island. Maple syrup is very Canadian so a chicken wing dish with maple syrup in the marinade might not be bad. Poutine is Canadian but definitely more popular in the eastern part of Canada (it's a French Canadian dish) but it is delicious! I miss not being able to get it in the states.
You can also do food themed towards the people that make up Vancouver, Asians (as stated in earlier post) Vancouver was just voted city that has best Chinese food by Conde Nast. The Asian population consists of many Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese. Also there is a huge East Indian population.
I suggest hot smoked salmon if you want to be authentic to the west coast of Canada. Chinese can be easy too, egg rolls, maybe pick up some dim sum. For Japanese there is sushi as in a california rolls (you can get big trays from Costco). For East Indian samosas are always great. An electic menu with a few dishes from those cultures definitely represents Vancouver.
And as mentioned Bloody Caesars to drink and Nanaimo Bars for dessert (I just had those two on my superbowl menu as I'm the sole Canadian surrounded by Americans)
Have fun with it, get some red and white themed (Canadian flag colors) decorations. I just got my Team Canada jersey in the mail today and I am faithfully watching the torch relay online. My husband thinks I'm nuts but I'm just an ex pat loving watching the Olympics in my hometown!
Happy Eating and Go Team Canada!
Darn it I forgot to mention the seafood too, Definitely oysters, mussels, clams and scallops. So maybe a cheesey baked oyster, steamed mussels and clams and scallops wrapped in bacon.
Definitely beer and poutine! For dessert, you could serve Margaret Atwood's Baked Lemon Custard Cake and some NIagara ice wine.
Like others have already mentioned: Vancouver is best known for its Chinese food. So maybe a dim sum dish? Pan-Asian eclecticism defines the cuisine in this town. Pan-Asian Tapas might fit the bill and are fun to research and make.
We don't really have any dishes that epitomize "Canadian" cuisine that are representative of this part of Canada. The ones that have been mentioned - Nanaimo bars, Salmon jerky, Hot smoked Salmon, etc are probably the closest you'll get. (Poutine, Maple Syrup, Back Bacon, etc are more representative of parts of Eastern Canada).
re: fmed
OK wait. The choice was so obvious now that I thought about it: make Japadogs.
As an aside, the first thing I thought of was the olympic rings. Perhaps you could prepare a 5 course meal each based around a different coloured "ring" (or circle).
Green: small salad
Yellow: Round of baked camambert, a soup
Red: A rare fillet steak, tuna steak
Blue: Individual blueberry cheesecakes
Black: Black bean soup, Coffee

Best of Color: Teal & Turquoise
Year In Review 2010
If you followed our Room for Color Contest back in October, you'll remember that Joshua won with his muted teal walls. And although Pantone named Turquoise its Color of the Year for 2010, it seems that the mellower, blue-green Teal was the color of choice for the Apartment Therapy crowd.
Teal can be hard to isolate, landing between turquoise and peacock on the blue side and jade and verdigris on the green side. But it's easy to pair with an amazing range of colors: from neutrals to reds, purples and golds, teal plays well with others. At its best, teal is jewel-toned and evocative of the sea; at worst, it can veer dangerously toward 1980s Miami (not that there's anything wrong with that?). These examples of the Apartment Therapy community using teal in 2010 are firmly in the former category, rich, vibrant and classy uses of the color.

Sigh! Love this colorway!
I'd love to get the colour information from that first pic. I'm painting my bedroom soon, and I love the look of that dark teal.
My bedspread is teal, so I can completely get behind this post. :)
Can't wait to have a paintable bedroom so I can really see where this color can take me!
Wow! I just painted a living room wall turquoisy-teal. I love it but didn't realize it was such a trend! Looking forward to decorating it with all kinds of colors.

wow, it's been quite some time since I posted a review ;;; anyways, today I will be reviewing this owl shoulder bag I bought from gezeng on ebay for ~$7 (thought the price has gone up since I bought it)
the package arrived about 2.5 weeks and came in this plastic bag. there wasn't any bubble wrap and the plastic bag was a bit ripped up, but no harm done to the actual purse.
the owl bag was also wrapped in another layer of clear plastic
the color I got was khaki, but it also comes in red, pink, orange, green, and black.
without the flap (it's look kind of funny, haha)
the back side of the flap
inside the bag there was a hunk of foam, which I'm assuming is so that it didn't lose it's shape during shipping
and it also included the strap to the bag itself. brown on one side, black on the other
and if you were curious as to how much it could hold:
t holds all my keys, compact mirror, oil blotting sheets, mini hand sanitizer, eye drops, chapstick, ipod, phone, glasses, and wallet. there was quite a bit of room for more, but these are all the things I keep on me at all times.
overall: ★★★★☆
I really do love the bag a lot, especially since it's sooo cute and you can wear it with a ton of casual outfits. plus, the price was extremely affordable and shipping time was reasonable. The only downside is that I find the fabric (or faux leather) to be kind of thin and I'm rather worried about how long this bag is going to last, so I'm going to have to be cautious of how much I put inside.
ootd, maybe?
if you would like to purchase this bag, click here! thanks for reading ^^

is a set of symptoms associated with the menstruation cycle. They can include physical changes, such as fatigue, and emotional changes, like irritability. It typically starts 1-2 weeks before menstruation (period). The symptoms generally go away once menstruation begins. For a small number of women, PMS can become severe enough to interfere with daily function. Women may experience extreme fatigue,
depression, and
anxiety. Severe PMS may also last longer than typical PMS.
A team of researchers conducted a review of numerous past studies of severe PMS treatment. Their goal was to find the effectiveness of a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The review found that this type of drug was effective in reducing severe PMS symptoms.
systematic review
involved 40 previous studies. All of the studies were
randomized control trials. Results from this type of study are considered to be the most reliable. These trials investigated the ability of an SSRI to reduce PMS symptoms when compared to a
placebo. A review of all the data found that the SSRIs were better than the placebo at reducing:
There were some side effects associated with SSRIs. The groups that received the medication did report higher rates of nausea,
insomnia, headache, and decreased libido.
Severe PMS interferes significantly with daily activities. Pain, troublesome mood changes, and overwhelming fatigue make it difficult to get through the day. Fortunately, SSRIs seem to be effective at relieving these symptoms for many women. Since these medications all require a prescription and are not without side effects, speak to your doctor about how best to manage your severe PMS symptoms.

Solid work today Jay!
Handled the meet impressively, props.
Great work Jay! Glad to hear it went well. It was fun following your training up to this point. You happy with the performance?
I am pleased and im not to be honest.. Im pleased I actually got 3 deadlifts in and pulled that 512 out the bag when I was un sure how deadlifts would go(should have done alot more), cant complain at a meet bench PR, but I sort of knew that was coming anyway as bench has been flying(especially gym wise again!!!) once again lifts in training went better and didnt display my full strength at the meet... best total to date is 1298, so i wasnt too far off at a lower bodyweight
Need to be alot better though!
Nice job at the meet and hitting a couple pr's.

135 x 20
Hanging leg raises
4 sets of 10 reps
kept rest periods really short and moved swiftly through each exercise... brutal and effective way of doing things.. really lit up my posterior chain nicely
the reason i have scrapped DE lower work is because i think they were not really doing anything for me as i wasnt consistent enough with them and i would frequently find myself slapping more weight on or wanting to which effects max effort work.. this way forces me to keep it light as the reps are alot higher and i can slap some size on weaker area's... another major factor is the success i had last training cycle with scrapping speed bench for rep work.
Nice work Jay... I need to find a decent gym with decent gear like SSBs!
Good deal with those lifts bro.

WMDT 47 NEWS - When the temperature goes down, the number of phone calls go up at Animal Control services.
"We've just started to see an increase of calls from concerned citizens of animals outside with no shelter," says David Fitzgerald, Director of Animal Control Services for Wicomico County.
However, the increase is not just in Wicomico County. Worcester County Animal Control says they've seen about double the amount of calls. The Kent County SPCA, which also covers Sussex and New Castle animal control services, says they received more than 50 calls between Monday and Tuesday.
While Fitzgerald says responders have found that most pet owners are following regulations for appropriate outdoor shelter, they should make an exception for the winter.
"While they are normally outside and I understand they are outside animals, this is an extreme cold spell for this area and those animals are just not accustomed to that," says Fitzgerald. "We strongly encourage animals to be brought inside especially during these cold temperatures."
Some of the serious consequences for an animal being left outside are the same for humans, such as hypothermia and frost bite. Laurel Abell, associate veterinarian at Atlantic Veterinary Services in Berlin, Maryland, says that animal with diseases such as hypothyroidism and heart disease may be most at risk.
She says pet owners should also make sure they wipe their dog's feet off if they have to go outside, to avoid the dog from licking any salt or anti-freeze of their paws.
"They can be very damaging to dogs feet, and anti-freeze can actually be a very life-threatening thing," says Abell. "It can cause acute kidney failure, and a lot of times dogs will die from anti-freeze ingestion."
Abell also warns that an animal's water bowl can freeze, which can lead to the animal's tongue getting frozen to the bowl.
"When the water freezes over they can't drink and they can become dehydrated just as easily as in the summertime when it's hot," says Abell. "So, owners should make sure their pets have access to water several times a day and that they're breaking the ice so they can drink, it's really important in the winter time."
Even if you do not own a pet, there is a reason for you to be vigilant.
"Cats will sometimes get on top of warm car engines, and when you turn the car on the fan belt can kill them or mortally wound them."
Animal Control officials are urging the public if you see an animal that appears to be neglected and out in the cold, to call them.
"We encourage them to call and let the Animal Control officers go out and investigate it," says Fitzgerald. "Anytime they have any concern about the animals they should certainly give Animal Control a call."

Back to the article » By Sean Higgins | July 20, 2012 | 12:00 am The horrific shooting at the screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Colorado late last night bears eerie similarities to a scene in the 1986 comic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. In the comic, a crazed, gun-toting loner walks into a movie theater and begins shooting it up, killing three in the process.

The shooting death of a mentally-ill wheelchair-bound man by an Houston police officer is raising questions about how the department deals with the mentally ill.
The shooting took place early Saturday morning at a group home for the mentally ill and the mentally-ill man was a double amputee. This is not the first time the Houston Police Department officer involved in the shooting has fatally shot a suspect.
Officers were called early on Saturday morning to a disturbance at the Healing Hands group home for the mentally ill on Polk Street at Sidney.
Houston police say Officer Matt Marin shot Brian Claunch after Claunch made threats against the officers and pointed a writing pen at them.
Claunch, the wheelchair-bound double amputee, died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Officer Marin shot and killed a man who came after him with a knife in 2009, according to reports. He remains on administrative leave tonight the investigation into the shooting continues.
It is a situation that brings back so many memories for Arlene Kelly, whose daughter Colleen was shot and killed by Houston police in 1999. Like victim Brian Claunch, Colleen also had a mental illness.
"Yes, it all comes back every time. It's been 13 years and it's still like yesterday," said Arlene. She says unnecessary shootings happen in Houston far too often.
"Why didn't Marin use his head? Why did he have to shoot the man? He didn't have to shoot him at all. These people are more or less helpless than the power they are faced with and most of these people are innocent," said Arlene.
Susan Denyes-Moody from the National Alliance of Mental Illness said she is fully aware that people with mental illness can act in very bizarre ways at times, her son is mentally ill, but she commends HPD and the Crisis Intervention Team they have in place.
"We work very closely with HPD. HPD has a wonderful Crisis Intervention Team, officers that are well trained in dealing with people with mental illness. I do know that when people are acting in a bizarre fashion that as a police officer it's often a difficult decision," said Denyes-Moody.
But still Arlene believes the culture within HPD needs to change.
"Mainly I think they need better training and if more attention is giving to hiring process that some of these officers wouldn't have been hired in the first place," said Arlene.
At this point, HPD has not said whether Officer Marin was trained to deal with the mentally ill.
In the meantime, if you know someone who may have a mental illness contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Monday was Major League Baseball's fifth annual tribute to Jackie Robinson, who debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947.
Players on all 16 teams in action wore Robinson's No. 42 in honor of the Hall of Famer. Players from the 14 teams not in action Monday planned to observe the tribute today.
It's always curious to see every player on the diamond wearing No. 42. It's a nice tribute, but fleeting.
In 1997, Commissioner Bud Selig ruled teams no longer could issue the No. 42 (the Dodgers retired Robinson's number in 1972).
Players wearing No. 42 at the time, such as the Yankees' Mariano Rivera, were allowed to continue wearing it. Robinson's 42 is displayed in stadiums in both leagues.
Baseball's intent to honor the game's most courageous pioneer misses the point.
What of the young players, perhaps inspired by Robinson? Wouldn't a more lasting tribute to Robinson be the emergence of younger players who proudly wear his number?
Yes, it is an emotional moment to annually see players of many races and each bearing Robinson's number stand at attention for the national anthem.
Greater moments could be experienced watching others play with Robinson's fire while wearing his number.

I'd say a good first step would be getting a LFG system that WORKS. I clicked onto looking for group for Quest (Elite) and was stymied. What do I do from there? Nothing appeared in the drop-down quest list for me to even look for and you can't type in whatever you want. So lame. Not to mention there is no good way to report problems with the LFG system to a GM; they don't care and can't change it.

The Weekly: 5 Steps to An Apple Announcement
This is the fifth in The Weekly, a series to be posted every Wednesday or so. Each will be a long-form, original piece that dives deeply into one topic. Each piece may be related to business, technology, gaming, design, entrepreneurship, economics, politics or any manner of other topics. The idea is to shed some light on something that at least a few people will find interesting. I hope that you're one of them.
Apple is widely expected to announce a new iPhone later today, possibly along with some other products. They'll announce even more next month at an additional event likely to be highlighted by a smaller iPad. Companies like Nokia, Amazon and Motorola raced to announce new products last week. Unfortunately for the competition, only Amazon seems to understand the key drivers of success for Apple product announcements. While their presentation was extremely well done, those put on by Nokia and Motorola missed fundamental elements that left their events forgettable, as they have been consistently for some time. Here's a look at the five things Apple will announce today that other competitors in mobile (except Amazon) fail to meet at their own risk.

The Weekly: JCPenney's Rebirth
This is the first in a new series of articles called The Weekly, to be posted every Monday or so. Each will be a long-form, original piece that dives deeply into one topic. It may be related to business, technology, gaming, design, entrepreneurship, economics, politics or any manner of other topics. The idea is to shed some light on something that at least a few people will find interesting. I hope that you're one of them.
Coming from Apple, a company with one of the world's hippest brands, Ron Johnson sure seems to like squares. The former Apple executive, hired away from Target by Steve Jobs to launch the company's global network of Apple Stores, became CEO of JCPenney in November 2011. Since Johnson took over at the beleaguered chain, he's unveiled a new, square logo, "Fair and Square" pricing, reintroduced the concept of "square deals", stood, "squarely" behind spokeswoman Ellen Degeneres and…squarely disappointed investors and analysts following his first quarterly earnings after launching a giant initiative to turn the company around.
That Mr. Johnson would go anywhere, leaving behind a job running a retail chain with higher average revenue per square foot than Tiffany's or Louis Vuitton, was surprising enough. That he'd leave Apple for a department store, a retail concept believed by many to be in its death throes, made it even more surprising.
Despite what outsiders thought, Johnson was quite serious when he said he believed in JCPenney's future: so serious that, rather than accepting a stock grant as part of his compensation package, he invested $50 million of his personal wealth in the company's stock at its closing price on the day he took over as CEO.
Within a few months, Johnson unveiled the company's new strategy and the stock soared on the news, up nearly 50% since the day he began with the company. JCP intended to take an extremely different position from its competitors, as well as from the strategies it had employed in the past.
The New Strategy
Gone were the coupons that propped up the bottom lines of local newspapers on a nigh-daily basis. Gone were deceptive sales schemes, the kind where retailers raise prices only to have a 60-70% off sale that brings prices slightly below their norm. Even the digits on product pricing were felled by Ron Johnson's sword. Whole dollar pricing is now seen on every item in the store, a departure from the classic exploitation of pricing psychology that takes place every time a TV advertisement screams a product costs only $19.95 instead of $20.
The company drastically simplified its pricing strategy, consolidating all previous sales, clearances, discounts and so on into three categories. Most products feature an "Everyday Low Price". Monthly sales on select seasonal items would be known only by their month, such as the July $9 pricing on a pair of sandals. Finally, the retailer's "Best Price" would be placed on closeout items, which would remain at that price until the item was either sold out or removed from sale completely. Items would only be moved to this pricing tier on "Best Price Fridays", on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month.
Meanwhile, the company would begin reconstructing their product offerings from the ground up. Moving away from the traditional department store model, JC Penney would offer themed "stores", greater than 2,000 square feet in size, "shops" of at least 500 square feet and smaller boutiques inside their top 700 department stores. Top names in fashion and homeware, including Betsey Johnson, Michael Graves and Martha Stewart are slated to headline these store-within-the-store concepts. The company also plans to take a page from Apple's playbook, deploying highly trained fashion and home design experts at a central location similar to the Apple Store's Genius Bar, a service not easily replicable by online competitors.
Finally, the company threw out its old return policy and replaced it with a very simple one: Customers may return items at any time, to any JCPenney's store, period. If they have their receipt, they can receive cash back. Without a receipt, they can receive store credit for the current price of the item. Due to the company's new pricing structure, this system is unable to be abused, as prices are never lower previously than they are at that present moment. They call this system "happy returns".
Each of these moves alone would be considered a seismic shift at any other retailer. To try to accomplish them all, while also rebuilding the company's patchwork of broken operational processes and ancient IT infrastructure from the ground up, would seem to be impossible for a chain with 1,107 retail locations.
While it has yet to prove impossible, the transition has unsurprisingly been more difficult than expected. The company's stock tanked following the company's severe earnings miss in May 2012, the first early indicator of how JC Penney's new policies were faring with customers. With net sales down more than 20% year over year, shares tumbled to below the levels at which Ron Johnson made his historic purchase upon taking the company's helm.
Ron Johnson assumed the role of CEO at JC Penney's in November 2011. The leap in the stock price seen at the end of January coincided with a major shareholder event explaining the company's new strategy moving forward. The sharp decline in mid-May coincided with the first quarterly earnings to take place after the implementation of the new pricing and sales strategies.
Johnson and other executives stressed the long-term nature of the transition, and only stoked the flames of investor dissent all the more by suspending the company's long-running quarterly dividend. Many naysayers of the company's pricing policy crowed victory when JC Penney's held a Memorial Day Sale just months after Johnson stated the company was through with the term altogether.
Where Things Stand
On the surface, the story would seem to read just as easily as the company's stock chart over the past eight months: Excitement built for an idea that turned out to be too big for its own good, only serving to hasten the demise of that which was already doomed. Could this really be the case? Johnson's pedigree is perhaps the best in the business, and if he isn't capable of turning around the department store, then is anyone up to the task? I stopped by my local JC Penney's for a bit of perspective on this issue.
When whole dollar pricing was first announced, I applauded the move as a win for customers and a clear sign that JCP was serious about changing the way retail works. Doing away with the cruft of clearance, sale and percent-off signs would also, I imagined, lead to a simpler retail experience. I was shocked by my initial reaction when taking my initial steps through my local Penney's. Despite my feelings about the new pricing system and the simple math of knowing that $24.99 and $25 were separated by only a cent, I was struck by a strong feeling that prices were more expensive or somehow odd. For me at least, it seems that I'd become so conditioned to decimal pricing that actually seeing whole dollar pricing in action seemed foreign and out of place, causing a subconscious feeling of suspicion. This subsided as I continued to walk through the store; by the time I made it to the lower level, I began to recognize that some of the red "Everyday Prices" did seem to represent a good value.
It seems that some calibration time may be required for customers to adjust to the company's new pricing, and to break the terrible cycle of coupons and sales driving the vast majority of sales. According to COO Michael Kramer at the company's May earnings conference, 40% of JCP's sales were driven previously by coupons or sales. In the short term, JCP has suffered– and will likely continue to do so– from a backlash by customers used to taking advantage of such offers. The company hopes in the long term that customers will look at JCP as a simpler, fairer shopping experience: no need to worry if prices will suddenly drop even farther next week. They're trading the easy psychology of time limited value for the deeper tenet of truly offering a good deal every day.
The funny thing about shoppers, though, is that they don't really want a good deal: they want to feel like they got a good deal. Time and again pricing psychology studies have shown this to be the case, with customers often willingly paying more for something "on sale" than a similar item that was priced more affordably in the first place. JCP's best hope to combat this lies in their color-coded pricing. While walking through the store, I quickly found my eyes had trained themselves to look for the light blue signs indicating a monthly sale and the dark blue signs indicating a "Best Price" item. Oftentimes, "Best Price" areas seemed to follow the "$5 and up" example, where maybe one item qualified for the lowest pricing and many remaining higher.
Monthly sale items represented a more immediate benefit to me than Best Price items, as the monthly features made more sense seasonally. $9 Dockers sandals, for example, seemed like a great deal, with even the normal $12 price from which it was discounted seeming reasonable. JCP can benefit greatly from these kind of seasonal features, taking advantage of the environmental biases facing customers. $9 sandals make a lot of sense when the thermometer is reaching triple digits than they would during an end-of-season sale.
Seasonal sales, changed out on a monthly basis, provide consistent, relevant value to customers. JCP believes offering such values for a month at a time will drive more business, as customers will neither be forced to rush to the store for a one-week promotion, nor hold out for an expected better deal, thanks to more transparent pricing methods.
Construction continued on the new shops-in-a-shop strategy. While a Sephora makeup mini-store existed, much of the lower level was walled off for continuing development. It's clear that this strategy will take much, much more time before it can be evaluated. And frankly, that remains true of nearly everything Johnson and Co. are implementing. What's already beginning to take place is a change in the visual and aesthetic tone of the store. While the layout remains largely unchanged from a traditional department store at this point, posters and signage with a markedly higher production value now appear throughout the store, as well as takeoffs on the new JCP logo, visually framing many of the store's best values. This clearly takes a page from Johnson's time at Target, which similarly places a higher value on its visual arts than competing stores like Wal-Mart.
Looking Ahead
Johnson claims that JCP will be moving more boldly into the "fast fashion" market, competing more with the likes of Forever 21 to provide designer wares at low cost (by, much like Forever 21, one would assume, skimping on durability). This makes sense, but begs the question of how JCP will manage to not only meet but exceed Forever 21's cool factor within its market, or whether the same pricing philosophy will work outside of the young women's market.
It seems Johnson is doing his best to thread a very fine needle with his changes to JCPenney's. Providing consistent value, quality high enough to separate it from the competition, complimentary premium design consultation and an integrated shopping experience between in-store and online is an extraordinary challenge, especially when taking into account that JCP remains an ongoing enterprise with more than 1,100 stores. Johnson is hailed for growing Apple Store sales beyond $1 billion annually within its first two years, but Penney's already has more than $16.5 billion in revenue annually. Changing course on such a big ship simply takes longer than building a new, small one from scratch.
It's impossible to yet measure quantitatively whether Johnson's strategy will prove successful, but history shows that when his doubters are loudest, success is likely to follow. David Goldstein, president of Channel Marketing Corporation, told Businessweek in 2001, "I give them two years before they're turning out the lights on a very painful and expensive mistake," when asked about the future of Apple's then brand new venture into retail. TheStreet's Arne Alsin proclaimed Apple was, "Scraping the bottom of the barrel," with their move into retail, which was "fraught with problems."
It took Apple more than three years of development and expansion before their retail operations turned profitable, but the stores now serve as the key touchpoint for the company with its customer base and bring in billions of dollars in additional profits each year. Surely JCPenney's board of directors realized when hiring Johnson that while change was assured and success was probable, "overnight" wasn't part of the package. Nor should it be. Johnson and his team haven't set out to goose revenues with outlandish sales or prop up profits through mass layoffs or accounting tricks; they've set out to not only save but secure and expand the role of the department store in the modern age.
I came across one demo product that still had a price tag hidden on its bottom from last year, before the pricing changes took affect. The new price tag hung off the side of the unit in view. The old tag read $24.99 in an uneven black and white with a giant barcode taking up most of the label's surface. The new tag read $20 colorfully, with the product's name featured prominently and the barcode hiding on the back of the tag.
Small changes add up. Progress is being made to turn around this American icon, even if progress isn't immediate. What's important is a sense of forward momentum, something that's been sorely missing for a very, very long time.

Dave Caolo over at 52 Tiger recently launched a fascinating look at the iPad's meteoric rise. Here's the reason for it in his words:
"This week I'll launch a new series of posts exploring the brief and incredible history of the iPad. Apple's tablet is not even four years old (think about that), yet its dominance and influence is global and undeniable. The iPad's history is so incredible, that I don't want to wait until it's 10 years old to explore its journey."
He's already posted the first part, The Brief History of the iPad: Prolouge I'll keep you updated as new entries become available.

WikiBooks: Bahai Faith
WikiBooks: Bahai Faith
The Bahá'í Faith is a monotheistic religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh in nineteenth-century Persia, emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind. There are an estimated five to six million Bahá'ís around the world in more than 200 countries and territories.In the Bahá'í Faith, religious history is seen to have unfolded through a series of divine messengers, each of whom established a religion that was suited to the needs of the time and the capacity of the people. These messengers have included Abraham, the Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and others, and most recently the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. In Bahá'í belief, each consecutive messenger prophesied of messengers to follow, and Bahá'u'lláh's life and teachings fulfilled the end-time promises of previous scriptures. Humanity is understood to be in a process of collective evolution, and the need of the present time is for the gradual establishment of peace, justice and unity on a global scale.The word "Bahá'í" (pronounced /bəˈhaɪ/) is used either as an adjective to refer to the Bahá'í Faith or as a term for a follower of Bahá'u'lláh. The word is not a noun meaning the religion as a whole. It is derived from the Arabic Bahá', meaning "glory" or "splendour". The term "Bahaism" (or "Baha'ism") has been used in the past, but the correct name of the religion is Bahá'í Faith.
