I predict that the Chiefs are going to bounce back with a bang and win with a score in the neighborhood of 27-13.
I'm a realist, but I just get the feeling that with the way the Chiefs played last week, plus all of the trash being talking this week, the Chiefs are going to be highly motivated. Besides, the Chiefs have never lost in the Playoffs at the New Arrowhead!
I think its going to be 17-14 Chiefs. I think its going to come down to a late field goal to win this game.
3-2 chiefs. Safety in first half for Ravens, Succop's 29 yards FG in last 2 minutes.
And a lot of heart attacks...

I am taking The Chiefs.
Let's say 28-20.
31-28 Chiefs

Gallery: Manhattan Beach Post Office Transformed Into Hip New LA Restau...
With the aim of creating a nostalgic throwback, as well as a place where local residents would want to come and hang out, the firm and restaurant's owners set out to create a space with a uniquely local personality. Additionally, the history of the original post office served as a guiding light throughout the design process, and the help of the Manhattan Beach Historical Society proved especially beneficial in the re-design. After uncovering many of the original concrete walls and layers that had been added since its first construction, they added back markings on the wall to bring an idea of what the post office looked like. They also revealed the old barrel-vaulted ceiling to show off the skeleton of the building.
Then walls were built with reclaimed barn wood and painted like the lifeguard stands and colorfully-customized volleyball posts that line the beach. An old 1954 bicycle was reinvented as a unique light fixture, and other vintage decor lines the walls in celebration of the building's unique history. Original concrete floors were revealed and freshly stained. Old-fashioned mail slots were used to form room partitions, while dining tables were crafted from reclaimed oak and hand-crafted industrial steel and walnut wood stools swivel to encourage conversation. Large steel and glass sliding doors open the front of the restaurant to the sunny southern California climate.

Johnsonburg's Cameron Grumley captured the District 9-AA individual golf championship on Saturday at the Bavarian Hills Golf Course, with Elk County Catholic's Elliott Struble placing second.
After Monday's first round, Struble and Josh Roselli of Ridgway had a two-stroke lead over Grumley. Struble and Roselli both shot 75s on Monday, while Grumley had a 77.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch soccer team raised their record to 5-6 on the season with a 6-3 victory over the Smethport Hubbers Saturday at the SMAHS soccer field.
The Dutch took control of the game early as they opened a 3-0 lead in the first 11 minutes of the contest.
The scoring started with 37:50 left in the first half when Tim Mosebarger scored for the Dutch, giving St. Marys the early 1-0 lead.
At the 35:22 mark, Dutchman Josh Burns made the score 2-0 when he scored off a corner kick by Jarrod Lipsey.
St. Marys Area girls' tennis team lost to ECC 7-2 in a match that started on Thursday and ended on Friday after being suspended due to rain. St. Marys is now 5-5 on the season.
"(Friday) was another good match between two good teams," said ECC coach Pete Meier. "Both squads played very well considering the weather. Tennis is supposed to be played on dry courts with temps in the 70s. (Friday) it was rainy and 50, but I have to give the girls on both teams a lot of credit for playing very good tennis under such adverse conditions."
FOX TWP. – Two days after finally breaking back into the win column with a 3-2 victory over Curwensville on the road, the Elk County Catholic Crusader soccer team was back in action at home against a solid Punxsutawney squad on Saturday afternoon in a very physical contest. Things did not go as well for the Crusaders on Saturday though, as they were unable to get another winning streak going, gave up the most goals they have allowed all season in the 6-1 loss, and were outshot by the Chucks 23-8.
Punxsy shuts down Lady Crusaders
ST. MARYS — The scoreless minutes continue to mount for the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders. On Saturday at Benzinger Park, it was the Punxsutawney Lady Chucks who left with a 1-0 victory over ECC.
The shutout raises ECC's scoreless streak at home to 480 minutes-- or all six home matches this season. The victory for Punxsutawney was the Lady Chucks' first-ever against the Lady Crusaders, who had a 7-0 series advantage entering this latest tilt.
The Elk County Catholic boys' and girls' cross country teams competed in the McQuaid Invitational on Saturday in Rochester, N.Y.

JOHNSONBURG – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders improved to 5-0 on Friday night as they took a 25-0 lead through three quarters and then held off an attempted fourth quarter by the Rams to come away with a 25-12 win on Friday night at Memorial Field.
The Crusaders racked up a total of 250 yards in the game, with team members rushing for 135 yards and 115 coming from the squad's passing game. Johnsonburg, on the other hand, relied heavily on passing, with 192 of their 214 yards coming on pass plays.
The Punxsutawney Chucks scored with 11.6 seconds remaining as they edged the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch by a 21-20 score Friday night at Dutch Country Stadium.
In the final 5:47 of the contest the Chucks outscored the Dutchmen by a 15-8 margin to come up with the win.
The Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team defeated St. Marys 207-235 on Wednesday afternoon in a match played at the Bavarian Hills Golf Course.
The medalist for the day was Elk Catholic's Mitchell Struble with a five-over-par round of 40.
Also for the Crusaders, Elliott Struble and Kristy Hanes each carded a 41, Brandon Schlimm had a 42, Bruno Cavalline and Jess Jaynes each shot 43, Drew Meyer recorded a 44, and Garrett Reuscher finished with a 57.
The low scorer for St. Marys was Owen Schreiber with a 42.
ECC travels to SMA this afternoon
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader tennis team raised their record to 10-1 with a 9-0 victory over the Brockway Lady Rovers Thursday at the Benzinger and Memorial Park courts.
"Today we enjoyed a really nice tennis match with a short-handed but improving Brockway squad. Brockway has a very nice team again this year. They have four sophomores that have gotten a lot better and they are going to be a lot of fun to watch the next two years," said ECCHS coach Pete Meier.

I do Stop Motion with Legos, (LEGOs are just great for SMA,) and I was wondering (because you guys are the pros), what frame rate per second, (fps) oyu guys would recommend. I use 15, and occasionally 33. Also I was wondering, how extreme I should take this Stop Motion Animation. Should it just be my hobby, or should I use to get me money?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
LEGO® Answers is a question and answer site for LEGO® and building block enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The ideal frame rate is 24 fps due to the brain holding an image for .051... seconds
However in stop motion animation this can be quite tedious and time consuming.
So with that in mind I'd recommend a frame rate of between 15 and 18.
As for your ideas on making money out of it, I'd say go for it.
The standard frame rate for most LEGO stop motion animations is 15, although this may vary and will be enforced by the video compiling software you use to put your animation together. Less than 15 will cause some frames to be added, while having more may skip a few. This also extends to 30 FPS, although that many frames is very time consuming, hence the 15 frame standard.

MPS responds to art class drawings of Gov. Walker as 'devil'
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Public Schools District says that student artwork depicting images of Govenor Scott Walker as the devil was "against district policy" and that they would take appropriate actions
Students at Lancaster Elementary School created the pictures.
The following is the entirety of the MPS statement:
"A preliminary investigation indicates the questionable pieces were a small portion of a larger class assignment. The teacher wanted students to create persuasive or argumentative advertising illustrations.
"The political content of the four pieces in question should have disqualified them from being displayed. It is against District policy to display any political material or conduct political activism in schools.
"We are sorry this happened. The inappropriate pieces were taken down as soon as they came to our attention. We wish someone had alerted us sooner. The on-going district investigation involves a personnel matter. The appropriate actions will be taken."
Parents TODAY'S TMJ4's Annie Scholz spoke to say that politics don't belong in grade school.
"I don't think that should be taught in the schools or be brought up as something that the kids should get into," said Dan Rouse. "They really don't understand government yet."
"I think children are going to be children, and a lot of it's got to do with what they've heard from grown folk," explained Rhonda Burrell.
"I would wonder about that teacher."
It's still unclear whether anyone will face punishment for the pictures.

Hey Guys,
I watched the 49ers game and it just seems we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot with turnovers.
If its not one things it's another.
After Ryan Tannehill's 5 straight in-completions in the drive, to set up a possible tie the game scenario, we give the 49ers the ball back with 4 mins left in the game, I had to turn the TV set off. So I am not even sure how the 49ers scored another TD, I haven't looked yet, but it was either a long pass or long run?
I believe Coach Philbin should start Matt Moore next weekend and then Pat Devlin the following weekend and then play the best player of these two on the last weekend.
Do I think Coach Philbin will do it, probably not, because if either of these guys shine, it may magnify Ryan Tannehill's short comings.
In my opinion, a good reason to do it on these next games is because they will be meaningless games and why not evaluate these 2 decent QB's. Secondly, why expose Ryan Tannehill to injury, that may carry over to next year.
Our offensive production has regressed considerably.
What do you guys think?

"Gals in the NFL Media"
Here's a change of pace on the OP on Gals reporting in a "Men, Men, Men, Men, Manly Men, Men, Men's Sport."
I think that, year's ago, pretty gals were added to the NFL for some window dressing. Now, many have a great deal of knowledge, and are respected (to a degree). In the studio, and sideline reports are good.
However, I'm on the fence on if I would like a gal in the booth, announcing a game. That just doesn't seem right but, could happen. Am I wrong?
Dierdorf is a little b****
How about when Tony Kornheiser was on Monday Night Football? LOL
Dierdorf and Collinsworth are horrible.
Sunday ticket is a couple of seconds behind real time, so I have to sitck with the announcers on TV
I hate Joe Theisman. Dude has a huge ego and it shines through.
Otherwise, in terms on on game day, there's really nobody I hate. It was annoying when we get Steve Tasker a few years ago for our game with the Bills, but otherwise? eh..
Now in studio is different as there are quite a few guys where it's obvious that they don't watch games. I'm not just talking about for us, I'm talking about for the entire league.
I am giddy we no longer have to listen to Sean Salisbury every week as he was so arrogant in everything he said.
Anyone remember the Dennis Miller experiment?

Does your pet need maximum skin support that only pure Omega-3 fatty acids can offer? A dog's skin is naturally exposed to many elements including pollens, pollutants in the air, and other airborne substances. These dogs may benefit from the maximum skin support that only pure Omega-3 fatty acids can offer. Fish oil is the best source of these important fatty acids dogs and cats need for healthy skin support, a healthy immune response, PLUS healthy joints. These fatty acids are also important for heart and kidney health, making Premium Plus Omega-3 our veterinarian's recommendation for overall wellness.
Chewables give your dog a chewy, cheese-flavored Omega-3 reward that he'll snap up. For dogs only. Or use unflavored Gel Caps; give to your pet whole - or, if your dog is accustomed to a liquid, snip off the top and drizzle directly on food. For dogs and cats. Both forms work best when offered with a low-fat diet to give your pet a better ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids.
Ideal for use in conjunction with joint support products such as Joint Care Premium Plus. Works alone or optimally with the antioxidant power of Premium Plus Skin & Coat Tablets. May take 6-8 weeks to see full effect.
Suggested use: If giving more than one daily, divide between morning and evening. Gel Caps: up to 20 lbs: 1 capsule. Over 20 lbs: 1 capsule per 20 lbs of body weight. Chewables: up to 20 lbs: 1 chewable. Over 20 lbs: 1 chewable per 20 lbs of body weight.

Nashville resident and renowned rock songwriter and producer Desmond Child is nominated for three Latin Grammy awards: producer of the year, record of the year and song of year. The nominations are in recognition of his work as producer and a songwriter on Ricky Martin's latest album, Musica + Alma + Sexo.
Child says he couldn't be happier with his slew of nominations.
"It's a thrill of a lifetime to be nominated for producer of the year, and also for record of the year and song of the year; that's the Grammy trifecta," he says. "I pray I can bring some of that Grammy gold back to my hometown, Nashville."
With more than 70 Top 40 hits as a songwriter, Child has worked with artists including Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Bon Jovi, KISS, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Michael Bolton and Cher.
Child will find out just how much Grammy gold he can claim during the 12th annual Latin Grammy Awards, which take place Nov. 10 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The show will air live at 7 p.m. Nashville time on the Univision Network.

LGV; Lymphogranuloma inguinale; Lymphopathia venereum
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a chronic (long-term) infection of the lymphatic system caused by three different types of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The bacteria spread through sexual contact. The infection is not caused by the same bacteria that cause genital chlamydia.
LGV is more common in Central and South America than in North America. Every year, a few hundred cases of LGV are diagnosed in the United States. However, the actual number of infections is unknown.
LGV is more common in men than women. The main risk factor is being HIV-positive.
Symptoms of LGV can begin a few days to a month after coming in contact with the bacteria. Symptoms include:
The infection can cause diarrhea and lower abdominal pain.
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical and sexual history. Always tell your health care provider if you had sexual contact with someone who has had lymphogranuloma venereum.
A physical exam may show:
Tests may include:
Antibiotics that are commonly prescribed to treat LGV include tetracycline, doxycycline, erythromycin, and azithromycin.
With treatment, the outlook is good.
Complications can occur many years after you are first infected.
Call your health care provider if:
Not having any sexual activity is the only way to prevent a sexually transmitted infection. Safer sex behaviors may reduce the risk.
The proper use of condoms, either the male or female type, greatly decreases the risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection. You need to wear the condom from the beginning to the end of each sexual activity.

Is there a reason why slag is easily removed and then when it is hard too remove. I used about 25 rods of 6013 yesterday on a project. Flat welding it came away easily for 90% of the time but when corner welding, it took a lot of cleaning. I did not bother changing the amount of heat, when going from flat to a corner, I was just building two fire wood holders and felt it would be ok, but now I wonder if this was the reason for my troubles.
I have started using the stick method as much as possible, the price of gas is over the top and when working outside, stick is an obvious choice for me.
Thank you for any help in advance.

You're probably going to need more heat in corners, or else your weld will be colder than it is in non-corners with the same amperage. I suspect that's the cause of your difficult-to-remove slag issue. You might be getting some slag inclusion. It's also harder to wire-brush the slag out of corners, too...

We are still rebuilding, whether we like the word or not, and we have yet to determine when we will be rebuilt or if we will be rebuilt and whether our current coaching staff can rebuild us,. That is evident from the game, and now we have to see how the rest of the season pans out before we can say these kids are unmotivated and accept defeat so easily.

|Sure we might be 8-4
Thus, Hoke extension talk is way too early which was the main point. We have been mediocre overall since Bo died before 2006 OSU game, let's see how this season plays out. His players are now here on O and D and had some time, we need to see progress both in terms of performance on the field and wins.
|1 year 18 weeks ago
I think we ought to be waiting until the season is over before we talk about extensions for Hoke, the key is improvement from last year both on o-line and offensive running game. Defense to improve but not as much as offense. We are not considered top 25 material this year by many experts, so an 8 or 9 win season would be outperforming last year.
For those who want to replace Hoke, who do we get instead? Not sure I see anyone available that would take this job that would be an instant and obvious improvement. Plus, Hoke goes, and there goes our D coordinator for sure.

|Honestly, Rankings Matter more at end of season,,,,,
We were ranked fairly high early on this season before our losses to Charlotte and ISU. My reality is that the top for this team is likely to be a 1st division finish in the B1G (top 5?) and a sweet 16 appearance given what we have seen so far this basketball year to date. Anything beyond that would be very surprising to me. However, we have some games coming against MSU, Wisconsin, OSU, and Iowa that will tell us whether we have improved enough to do better than this.

|I Root for Michigan and B1G In Bowls/Non-conference
I just don't get this concept of rooting against MSU and OSU except when they play us or if a loss in conference helps us win a division title. Guys, that is the kind of thinking that prevails in places like Columbus and East Lansing where they remain focused on how we do instead of how they do. Like it or not, we are living through the tear down and rebuilding phases of Michigan football since Bo died in 2006. A little humility and grace might be a good thing to acquire, before we get all arrogant again (boy, I hope we get good enough to be arrogant again someday!).
But, if you have to define yourself by rooting against your big rivals, I guess that is your choice but not mine.

|Fort Schembechler back in force....
People are always trying to read more into what comes out of the Fort than what is said, and have been for any number of years since I can remember being a freshmen in 1976. They confuse non-full disclosure (i.e. They are not going to give us intimate details of all the goings on) with there somehow being a wall of secrecy to be breached. Instead, Hoke is who he is, says what he thinks, does not air his dirty laundry in public, and people try to analyze it like he is one of the old Soviet Union politburo members.
Like you, it is time to accept Hoke at his word, and judge him by both his words and deeds. There is no super secret agenda or special insight to be gained by parsing his every statement. Reality is that the team is 7-5, was very inconsistent over the year on offense and on defense, appears to be short of experienced talent and depth, and hopefully those issues are being addressed and fixed by the current staff. 2014 will be another year to see if the team improves and we have an upward trajectory or if we are doomed to B1G football purgatory for another 2-??? years. All we can do is wait and watch and hope!

|Not Allowed to Diss Michigan QB's
Once, back in 1984, while attending a Michigan vs MSU game, our boys and especially our QB at the time starting for his first year (Jim Harbaugh) were not playing very well on offense. So, I casually mentioned to my buddy and roomate at the time, that I wish Harbaugh would get dinged up because he is not playing well and I would like to see if our back-up QB would be better (Chris Zurbrugg). On the very next play, Harbaugh got his arm broke, and we wound up with Bo's worst season going 6-6. Therefore, I am not allowed to criticize or comment or make any statements regarding Michigan QB's during games whether in attendance or watching on tv! There's my superstition after destroying our 1984 season!

|Tiger Path Clear, Choo makes no sense
They wanted a better bullpen, and better infield defense and to score runs more consistantly. They looked over the Fielder deal and his relationship with the entire team and decided to deal him not only due to the big contract but how he fit with the team. They move Miguel back to 1B where he can stay healthy, they protect him with Victor, they sign an elite closer in Nathan, they deal Fister to create room for Smyly in the rotation, and they create room for Castellanos at either 3B or OF as their best prospect. They already have a good CF (Jackson) and adding Choo makes little sense for them.

|Opinions are nice....
Brandon's and the new President's opinions are likely the only ones that matter. We can all claim unacceptable and fire Borges or whatever, I assume another total year end review coming after bowl game this season, important to win and show improvement to keep recruits and establish 2014 confidence. Otherwise, could be rough 2014 !

|Inconsistency the rule for 2013.....
Both offense and defense were inconsistent all year. How much due to coaching, injuries, youth, talent, et al is open to debate but I think that our initial projections of 8-4 to 9-3 were all based on youth and talent levels and lack of experienced high talent levels on both O and D lines. In the end, the young guys on both the lines were up and down, and we saw D performances like OSU and NW and O performance like OSU and Iowa. Hopefully, next year will be better as the 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes get another year of experience and we bring in another talented class for 2014.
|1 year 39 weeks ago
|Same Coaches and Same Kids
How much of that inconsistency is just the hallmark of any young team learning its way after having been pretty much a mediocre non-B1G contending team since 2006? You guys act as if it is all about effort and coaching, yet it is also all about experience and talent. It takes all four elements in unison. The team played well on offense yesterday, but not on defense and remains short of talent and experience in both areas since 2006. Each game this year saw a lot of variability in performance between the offense and defense (Akron on defense giving up big plays deep, MSU on offense not blocking inside, et al). Rebuilding our talent level to challenge for B1G titles is still an ongoing process, and that talent level peaked in 2006 (and that level was not enough to win the B1G or a BCS bowl game) and really has not returned since.
We remain with a long way to go boys!

|Long Way to Go.....Oh Ye of No Patience
I'm not happy about where we are in terms of our team's performance since 2007, but we are where we are. Pretty obvious that we are rebuilding, and that it is going to be a longer process than we like. The talent on the roster is young, and therefore is pretty inconsistant. Lots of consternation, coach questioning, player questioning, etc are going to continue as they did in the late Carr years as Tressel and OSU eclipsed us on a regular basis. We had better hope that Hoke and his coaches that he decides to retain or hire/fire are the answer, because if they are not, we are going to suffer greatly for another 4-5 years at a minimum. We have had one good season since 2006, and that was a 2011 11-2 season with this now being abused coaching staff. Hope springs eternal, and if we continue to rebuild the talent base we will get back to where we want to be.
Go Blue!

|Urgent changes?
What urgent changes? Issue is offensive line, and it looks like we have tried to play all the ones we got. Nothing can be done at this point, except to keep teaching, keep coaching, keep struggling to try and get better. The whole season has seen this struggle from Akron to UConn to PSU to MSU to Nebraska to NW and now to Iowa. We are what we are, and we are not suddenly going to get competent on the offensive line in game 12. Scream unacceptable and fire all the coaches and call for urgent changes, they all mean nothing.

|His Dudeness, Any names to replace Hoke?
You say we need a top flight coach, so I respect your opinions as being well thought out and rationally argued. Who do we get?
|1 year 40 weeks ago
|Ok, Who can we get now?
RR is dead and gone, at least for our purposes at Michigan. Whatever the reasons, they no longer matter except in how they might affect our ability to hire any future top flight coaches.
When we fired RR, and hired Hoke, who else was available? Seriously, we were shunned in one sense or another by Schiano and Fitzgerald that we know about, and others (Harbaugh, Miles, ????) that are only rumored.
Who will come here after watching RR's experience? And let's say that Hoke is not the guy, then we get rid of him after year 3 or 4 or 5, now what? Who will come here? We might find ourselves in the same situation we are now, continually changing coaches and watching as we continue our sinking that started in 2007. We have an athletic director who watches film with the football coaches, do you think a hot young coach will want that?
Might we assume that RR learned a few lessons based on his experience at Michigan that he applies successfully at Arizona, and that maybe we did too (willing to pay coordinators and assistants now at least).
So, just saying we need a top flight coach is mom and apple pie, nothing to discuss. The question is, which top flight coach is willing to come here and who is he? You want Hugh Freeze? Who????
Personally, I thought one of the reasons to consider keeping RR was that we could not get a top flight coach to replace him. Appears to be pretty much what happened, at least based on results so far.

The number of days homes remained on the market before selling continued to decline last month in Montgomery and Frederick counties as sales and prices continued to rise, according to figures released this week by research firm RealEstate Business Intelligence.
The upward trend in prices has led to less affordable homes for first-time buyers, while foreclosure filings rise in the area.
In Montgomery, the average days a home remained on the market last month was only 35, down from 57 in July 2012. In Frederick, the number of days declined to 55 from 68 a year earlier, according to RealEstate Business, a subsidiary of Metropolitan Regional Information Systems of Rockville.
But the area's most expensive homes are generally taking longer to sell. A 33,000-square-foot new custom home in Potomac listing for $18 million — the most in the two counties listed on Realtor.com — has been on the market since February.
Most such higher-priced homes "do not run parallel with general market conditions but sell based on the timing of finding the right buyer," said Marc Fleisher, head of The Fleisher Group, a Long & Foster Real Estate agency in Washington, D.C., near the Montgomery border. He is the agent for the Potomac 10-bedroom, 15-bath residence.
"Just when you are least expecting it, the buyer surfaces," Fleisher said. "These buyers are elective buyers looking for a special home when the time suits them."
By contrast, a four-bedroom, three-bath Bethesda home sold for $804,000 by The Fleisher Group in late June was on the market less than a month.
Last month, the number of existing homes sold in Montgomery jumped by 32 percent from a year earlier to almost 1,300 units. The median price rose 10 percent to $435,500.
In Frederick, sales increased by 57 percent in July to 340, while the median price rose by 12.5 percent to $282,750.
Frederick bucked a statewide trend of tighter inventory, as active listing there were up by 7 percent from a year ago to about 900. Active listings in Montgomery dropped 9 percent to 2,246 last month.
Rising home prices played a role in the first-time home affordability index dropping more than 15 points to 82.0 in the second quarter from 97.3 in the first quarter. The index, tracked by the Maryland Association of Realtors, means that first-time homebuyers had only 82 percent of the income they needed to purchase a typical starter home during the second quarter.
Besides the average starter home in Maryland rising by almost $36,000 to $231,141, a recent rise in mortgage rates and lackluster increases in median household income are factors for the drop in affordability, said Carlton J. Boujai Jr., an agent at Exit Realty Prosperity Group in Frederick and board president of the Maryland Association of Realtors.
"We are back to the same levels of affordability from a year ago, which is disappointing," Boujai said.
No towns in Montgomery or Frederick counties made Money Magazine's recent list of those having the most affordable homes. But one in Prince George's County did — Largo, which had a median home price of $150,000.
"Largo has become a suburban hotspot for middle-class professionals fleeing the D.C. bustle," the magazine said. "The housing crisis hit Largo hard and foreclosures have depressed home values, so bargains abound. Three-bedroom townhouses are on the market for less than $150,000, and 4,000-square-foot McMansions can be had for under a half million dollars."
Two Montgomery towns — Potomac and Olney — made Money's top earnings list. Potomac had a median home price of $795,000 and median family income of $239,330, while Olney featured a home price of $430,000 and income of $147,530.
Montgomery County had 403 foreclosure filings in July, more than twice its level in July 2012, according to the latest figures from data company RealtyTrac. Frederick County also saw foreclosures more than double last month to 143.
Maryland had the second highest foreclosure rate nationally in July at one in every 598 housing units, about twice the national average. It was the state's highest foreclosure ranking since RealtyTrac began issuing reports in 2005. Florida had the highest rate at one filing in every 328 units.
Almost 4,000 Maryland properties had foreclosure filings in July, up 148 percent from a year ago. Nationally, foreclosure filings fell by 32 percent from a year ago.
Maryland's high foreclosure rate is "the anticipated result of the continued clearing of long delinquent loans," state Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Raymond A. Skinner said in a statement.
The state's loan delinquency rate declined for the second consecutive quarter to its lowest reading in almost five years, he said. Few states have done more than Maryland to help homeowners avoid foreclosures, as the state has invested in housing counselors and helped people get loan modifications, he said.

Kawah Ijen
Ijen plateau or known as "Kawah Ijen" is highly recommended to mountain buffs and hikers. The Plateau was at one time a huge active crater, 134 sq km in area. At the rim itself you have a nice view on the lake. The walk up to the crater rim takes 60-90 minutes. It's pretty steep. The magnificent turquoise sulfur lake of Kawah Ijen lies at 2148 m above sea level and is surrounded by the volcanos sheer crater walls. The vent is a source of sulfur and collectors work here, making the trek up to the crater and down to the lake every day.

So you want to open your heart to a homeless pet?
Before you run out to your local shelter looking for a new best friend, take a moment to think about your decision: adopting a cat or dog is no small thing. It requires the right environment, the right attitude, and the willingness to train, exercise your animal, and pay veterinary bills. You may not find the perfect match the first or second time you visit a shelter, so be patient.
Take a little time to investigate the shelter and perhaps visit or foster the pet that could become the newest member of your household. Experts say it will go a long way in ensuring a lifelong, rewarding relationship.
Why Adopt a Rescue Animal?
Pet adoption advocates say a shelter animal is typically housetrained and properly immunized. The dog or cat has lived around people -- if only at the shelter -- and has likely been loved.
Consider also that there are about 4 million to 6 million adoptable pets at any given time in the nation's shelters. About half were given up by owners and the others found on the streets, according to the ASPCA. More than half of them will be euthanized.
The ASPCA and other animal rescue groups have helped to chip away at the number of strays and kills by implementing widespread neuter/spay programs nationwide, and by advocating for adoption of adult or senior pets.
"They're house-trained already, and many people enjoy adopting a more mature pet because they're more sedate. A person might work full-time, they may have kids," says Kim Saunders, vice president of shelter outreach for Petfinder.com, an advocacy and training organization that lists adoptable animals in shelters nationwide and in Canada, free of charge. At last count, there were 350,000 animals listed by about 13,600 shelters.
Robin Johnstone of San Diego and her live-in partner, Archie Smith, set out to adopt an older dog -- and the fit turned out to be perfect.
Three years ago, while they were perusing Petfinder.com, they spotted a picture of Jody, who was living in a shelter in Camp Pendelton, a Marine base about 50 miles away. They drove out a few days later to meet the dog, a casualty of a nasty divorce who'd been left on her own until neighbors called the pound.
"Because this is the first dog between us, we wanted a dog that was a little older, had a little more experience in being a dog, wouldn't chew on the couch, wouldn't have accidents,'' says Johnstone, 45.
The shelter staff was thrilled somebody wanted the old girl, a collie/Jindo mix whose age they estimated at 6 or 7. It turned out she was 9 -- Johnstone learned that when she called the microchipping company to change their new pet's address. She'll be 12 in November. Despite dental issues and stiffness from arthritis, Jody is a happy, active dog who walks with Smith to work every day.
"She's a joy," Johnstone says. "I don't know if there's going to be another dog that measures up.''
What to Consider Before Adopting a Pet
Look at your lifestyle and means before committing to adopting a pet.
If you are stable - you don't travel extensively or plan to move and you have the financial resources to cover the cost of the pet's care - that's a big plus. According to Petfinder.com, the annual veterinary costs for an average dog come to about $1,000; an average cat's medical care can run about $650 per year.
The ASPCA advises would-be adopters to think about their living space and whether a big dog is the way to go. Ask yourself whether you want an energetic pet or a couch potato. If you can't provide the exercise an animal needs, consider the latter.
Of course, you'll need to spend time with your pet or you'll invite trouble.
Not all shelter animals will be properly trained, so be prepared to retrain your dog. It will help build your relationship. As for cats, adopt with some understanding of their scratching and litterbox behaviors.
Finally, consider whether your family is ready for the new addition, says the ASPCA. Is everybody willing to pitch in to care for the pet? It's a good idea to create a schedule of responsibilities.
What Kind of Shelter Should You Adopt From?
Look for a shelter that does behavior assessments on dogs and/or cats and that has veterinarians who are providing medical exams and treatment, says Gail Buchwald, vice president of the adoption center at the ASPCA in New York City.
"I think it's a great idea for a prospective adopter to go to the shelter and check it out, get a visual. If they see animals that don't look healthy, they should ask some questions," she says.
If the animals seem well cared for, talk to the staff about your needs and get their observations about the dog or cat you're eyeing. If a shelter doesn't do any testing of its animals for diseases that aren't obvious, an adoption may be riskier, Buchwald says.
"The biggest drawback is not knowing what you're going to get, but it's the same drawback with breeders and pet stores," she says. "Choosing a shelter that provides as much information as possible about the animal is important."
Keep in mind that you may not find exactly what you're looking for the first time around.
''This is up there with getting a car or a house; expecting to walk out the same day with a shelter animal may not happen. It may require several visits," Buchwald says. "Making the commitment to adopt means you're going to help a homeless animal, even if it doesn't happen instantly.''
Why Is the Shelter's Adoption Fee So High?
Though the average shelter adoption fee is $75, Saunders says, the price of taking home a new pet can be as high as $250 to $300.
That can come as a shock, but consider the cost to a shelter for spaying and neutering, administering vaccines, screening for disease, deworming, and general upkeep, which can easily come to $2,000, says Buchwald.
"Typically, the donation doesn't cover the cost, much less keep the lights on in the shelter," Saunders says. "Someone won't think twice about walking into a pet store and spending $600 on a puppy that's been poorly bred and likely to get sick. They'll also have to pay for spay/neuter and additional medical costs.''
Preparing for Your Adopted Pet
Dogs and cats have different basic needs, but for both, it's a good idea to get ID tags or microchip your new pet at the beginning of your relationship so you don't get separated from each other. In addition, make sure you've got food and water bowls at the ready.
For cats, the ASPCA advises you to have:
- A litter box with clean litter, preferably the kind used in the shelter where she came from
- A bed lined with a blanket or towel
- A brush and a nail clipper, if the cat has her claws
- Stimulating, safe toys
- A scratching post that is at least three feet high
For dogs, have:
- A crate for training and for creating boundaries in your household
- Barrier gates to restrict the dog's movement until you are comfortable allowing him unsupervised access
- A leash
- A chew toy or bone
Don't forget to cat-proof and dog-proof your home by tucking away electrical cords and putting away small children's toys that they can swallow.
For new pet owners, line up a veterinarian you trust and bring in your new family member for a wellness exam as soon as you can.
What If It Doesn't Work Out?
If there are reasons why an adopter can no longer take care of the pet - such as financial problems or allergies - returning it to a shelter is the way to go, Saunders says.
"Part of the adoption process is understanding that the adopter will bring back the pet if it doesn't work out," Saunders says. "We want it to be a lifetime match, but if it isn't working, having them bring the animal back to the shelter, we consider it a success. The shelter is a support for adopters and pets.''

KIPP DC: Will Academy
National Arboretum
Students from Washington Middle School for Girls, Neval Thomas Elementary, KIPP: WILL Academy and Potomac Lighthouse Academy visited the U.S. National Arboretum and Washington Youth Garden. They learned A LOT about plants and how to make a garden of their own.
LIVE Food Chain!

Over the past month our friends from Earth Conservation Corps (ECC) presented special programs to our Buddy Bison students.
ECC's Daryl Wallace visited several D.C. schools with a LIVE food chain featuring raptors, snakes, and small mammals. WILL Academy (KIPP DC) welcomed Daryl and his programs.
Thank you Daryl and the ECC for bringing park experiences to our students during the cold winter months!
KIPP DC Sees the Trees: A Journey through the U.S. National Arboretum
KIPP DC: WILL Academy joined me at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, DC this month. An arboretum is a living museum where trees, shrubs, and plants are grown and studied for scientific and educational purposes. During the trip, the students were broken up into four different groups and led around the Arboretum by their teachers and volunteers. They visited two different gardens where they got to taste different plants and herbs like asparagus, mint and a plant called stevia which tasted like sugar! They were also taken on a hike through the woods where they saw a snake, some lizards, a snapping turtle, and a bull frog.
Most of the students were in agreement that their favorite part of the trip was walking through the Bonsai exhibit. Bonsai, pronounced "bone-sigh" is an ancient Japanese art where a tree is trimmed in order to keep it from growing to its normal size. When this process is started, a tree is said to be "in training". Some of the trees in the exhibit have been in training for more than 100 years! One of the trees is almost 400 years old and still smaller than most of the KIPP DC students!
Planting Cherry Blossom Trees with the First Lady
Last month Chellsea from KIPP DC: WILL Academy helped First Lady Michelle Obama plant cherry blossom trees along the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC! Chellsea was invited to participate in the Centennial Tree Planting Ceremony, which honored the 100th anniversary of the planting of the first two of 3,000 cherry blossom trees given to the United States as a gift from the city of Tokyo, Japan. The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom in March, and thousands of people from across the country travel to our nation's capital to see them! I want to thank Chellseas for bringing me along on her special day.
White House Easter Egg Roll
Four students from KIPP DC: WILL Academy visited the White House for the 134 annual Easter Egg Roll. This is what they had to say:
Kierra wrote:
I was so excited to go to the White House. I want to thank you for inviting us to the White House Easter Egg Roll. I want to tell you about all the fun things we did. First, we watched a performance by the awesome Chicago Tumblers. We could not believe our eyes when we saw them flip and do tricks in the air. Next, we took pictures with all the fun cartoon characters and people dressed up like former presidents. We also met and talked to famous people like the McClain sisters and Zendaya. Everyone we met was kind and taught us something new! One of the last things we did was enjoy different fruits from Mrs. Obama's garden. I tried their apples, and tangerines and they were all delicious! I cannot believe we were able to have so much fun at our President's house. I am so thankful for the opportunity and hope to become a successful person like the President.

Let me tell you, from the moment I got there, I couldn't keep my feet on the ground! We had so much fun! The first thing we was take pictures. We took pictures in front of the White House and with PBS TV characters. Then we had the chance to see the McClain Sisters and Zendaya perform live on stage. They were so amazing! We all clapped and cheered during their performances. We took a break and ate fresh fruit from the Mrs. Obama's organic garden. The fruit was so sweet like the entire experience! The last thing we did was decorate eggs with glitter, paint, and stickers. I will always remember this experience even when I am 100 years old! This is also a meaningful experience for me because at my school we are taught that if we work hard we earn good things like going to the White House!Read more...

ETSU escapes UNC Greensboro with 72-68 victory
Saturday, January 10, 2004GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) led East Tennessee State to an emotional 72-68 victory over UNC Greensboro Saturday night in front a boisterous crowd in Fleming Gymnasium. Wadood scored a game-high 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds to pick up his 22nd career double-double, as the Bucs narrowly escaped with another down-to-the-wire win. "This was very similar to the Furman game," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team dropped Furman 69-68 on a last-second shot by sophomore guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) on Monday. "We're very fortunate to be going home with a win. I said before the game that Greensboro's record was deceiving and they proved that." With the win, ETSU improves to 10-4 on the season and 3-0 in Southern Conference play. UNCG slips to 4-9 overall and 1-2 in league play. The loss extends the Spartans' losing skid to seven games. Ricky Hickman connected on a pair of free throws to give UNCG a 2-0 lead to open the game. ETSU then reeled off eight consecutive points before a Ronnie Burrell halted the Buccaneer run. The Spartans then cut the lead to one, 8-7, on a Jay Joseph layup, but the Bucs countered with a 10-0 run, capped off by a 3-pointer by Zakee Wadood, to go up 19-7 at the 10:56 mark. A Jay Joseph 3-pointer from the top of the key cut the Bucs' lead to four, 30-26, with 3:40 left in the half. After an ETSU bucket, Ray Bristow buried a 3-pointer from 24-feet to bring the Spartans to within three, 32-29. On the next possession, Ronnie Taylor hit a layup in traffic to cut the lead to one, 32-31. ETSU maintained the lead and took a 32-31 lead into the intermission. The Bucs shot 47 percent from the field in the opening stanza compared to UNCG's 37 percent, and held a slim 19-18 advantage on the glass. A pair of James Anthony (Tampa, Fla.) 3-pointers sandwiched a Dwon Clifton layup to give the Buccaneers a 38-33 lead early in the second half. With the Bucs clinging to a 44-43 lead, Anthony was called for an intentional foul on a UNCG fast break. Joseph buried both free throws giving the Spartans' their first lead, 45-44, since it jumped out 2-0 to open the game. Taylor then hit a jumper from the right baseline to give the Spartans' a 47-44 lead. Anthony countered with his third 3-pointer of the half to tie the score for just the second time in the game. Wadood's fast break layup gave the Bucs' back the lead, 49-47. The Spartans then went on a 10-0 run capped off by an emphatic Ronnie Burrell dunk to take a 57-49. The Bucs countered with an 8-0 run to tie the game 57-57 at the 7:25 mark when Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) hit a five-footer from the left side. Joseph drained a 3-pointer on an inbounds play to put the Spartans back up, 60-57. Wadood tied the game for the fourth time when he hit 1-of-2 free throws to even the score at 65-65. The score was then tied 68-68 before Ben Rhoda hit a layup in transition to put the Bucs up 70-68 with under one minute left in regulation. The Spartans had one last possession, but Joseph's 3-point attempt from the right win just missed. Wadood hauled in the rebound and was immediately fouled. He promptly hit both free throws to set the final score. In addition to Wadood's 21 points, Anthony added a career-high 17 points on three 3-pointers. Rhoda scored 12 points, while Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Ronnie Taylor paced the Spartans' attack wtih 16 points and eight assists. Ronnie Burrell and Jay Joseph each scored 14 points, while Ray Bristow added 11 off the bench. The Spartans will return to action again Tuesday, January 13, at home against the College of Charleston. Tip-off is set for 7 pm, and the game will be televised live on CSS. ETSU returns home to host Union College on Monday, January 12.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
for us hard core disc golfers out there we are not deterred by the weather! but the elements can be brutal! any tips to playing in the cold rain besides the obvious?
Views: 343
bring lots of backup close and back up towels
yeah extra socks is a must!
Throw DX Plastic . Gore-Tex socks or Seal Skins. Waterproof Shoes also helps. Don't get chilled.
I bought a pair of official NFL Recievers' Gloves from Dick's Sporting Goods last year and they have been very good for cold weather play. If I play in the snow I ware a ski glove on my left hand and make sure I pick up discs with that hand to keep my gloved throwing out of the snow.
However, in rain I go bare handed on my throwing hand because once the gloves get wet they become alot slicker then bare skin and don't towel dry very well. They are also not water proof on the back of the hand which makes them cold and uncomfortable to ware, once they get wet.
I also use Fade's Weather Guard straps in the rain and it's definately works as advertised in the rain. I always carry 4 or 5 micro-fiber towels in my bag and have a good ruberized rain coat for heavy rain.
I like throwing D/DX Pro/X plastic like SS is saying.

What is lymphoma?
Lymphoma is a cancer of certain types of white blood cells (WBCs), called lymphocytes, that originates in one or more lymph nodes. Lymphocytes circulate throughout the body in both the blood and the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system consists of a network of lymph nodes and vessels that drain fluids from the tissues and carry them as "lymph" through the body and back to the blood stream. Lymph nodes are found singly and in chains along the lymphatic vessels, in areas that include the neck, armpits, abdomen, and groin. The nodes are small lymphoid tissue organs that filter lymph fluid as it passes through them and destroy microorganisms and abnormal cells. They contain macrophages and collections of lymphocytes, including B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and natural killer cells.
T-lymphocytes can be thought of as the controllers of the immune system. They initiate the immune response, control how big or small it should be, and shut it down when it's not needed. In addition, they can neutralize several different types of foreign attackers. B-lymphocytes make antibodies. It is these cells that are activated when a person is vaccinated against diseases such as measles, mumps, or hepatitis. Natural killer (NK) cells are also a type of lymphocyte and make up about 10-15% of total lymphocytes in the blood. NK cells attack and "kill" abnormal cells such as cancer cells or those infected with viruses.
Any one of these cells or a combination of them can be involved in lymphoma. Lymphoma begins with the emergence of abnormal cells in one or more of the lymph nodes or lymphoid tissues. These cells reproduce uncontrollably, begin to outnumber normal cells in the node, lead to the enlargement of the lymph node, and eventually travel to one or more other lymph nodes. They may also spread to and from other lymph-system-related organs including the spleen, bone marrow, tonsils, adenoids, and thymus.
