Now if he could play QB then they would have something to talk about
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-hell-be-bac/With all the talk about Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, the player who perhaps can do (and perhaps has done) the most damage to the team with the things he says privately and publicly is receiver Santonio Holmes.
On Thursday, Holmes (largely) avoided controversy in his remarks to the media, possibly since he spent the time (largely) evading the reason for his absence from practice, and his timetable for coming back.
Santonio not practicing, and it's not injury-related? It's not even the first preseason game and this guy is already acting like this? This Jets team is in for a rough season...
So a brawl breaks out in Jet land. That's certainly going to help the cohesion. Don't bother downplaying it Junc. Even Markie didn't like it. Bunch of assclowns.

Understanding the Composting Process
One of the most important steps for evaluating composting options is to become familiar with how the composting process works. Before you begin composting or start a composting program, you should understand the five primary variables that must be controlled during composting. These include the following:
- Feedstock and nutrient balance. Controlled decomposition requires a proper balance of green organic materials (e.g., grass clippings, food scraps, manure), which contain large amounts of nitrogen, and brown organic materials (e.g., dry leaves, wood chips, branches), which contain large amounts of carbon but little nitrogen. Obtaining the right nutrient mix requires experimentation and patience and is part of the art and science of composting.
- Particle size. Grinding, chipping, and shredding materials increases the surface area on which the microorganism can feed. Smaller particles also produce a more homogeneous compost mixture and improve pile insulation to help maintain optimum temperatures (see below). If the particles are too small, however, they might prevent air from flowing freely through the pile.
- Moisture content. Microorganisms living in a compost pile need an adequate amount of moisture to survive. Water is the key element that helps transports substances within the compost pile and makes the nutrients in organic material accessible to the microbes. Organic material contains some moisture in varying amounts, but moisture also might come in the form of rainfall or intentional watering.
- Oxygen flow. Turning the pile, placing the pile on a series of pipes, or including bulking agents such as wood chips and shredded newspaper all help aerate the pile. Aerating the pile allows decomposition to occur at a faster rate than anaerobic conditions. Care must be taken, however, not to provide too much oxygen, which can dry out the pile and impede the composting process.
- Temperature. Microorganisms require a certain temperature range for optimal activity. Certain temperatures promote rapid composting and destroy pathogens and weed seeds. Microbial activity can raise the temperature of the piles core to at least 140° F. If the temperature does not increase, anaerobic conditions (i.e., rotting) occur. Controlling the previous four factors can bring about the proper temperature.
Methods of Composting
Composting takes on many forms, from simple and inexpensive backyard or onsite composting methods to more expensive and high-tech methods such as in-vessel composting. Composting varies as much in its complexity as in the range of organic materials recovered. The most common composting methods are listed in order of increasing costs and levels of technology required and are described in greater detail on the following pages:
- Backyard or Onsite Composting
- Grasscycling
- Vermicomposting
- Aerated (Turned) Windrow Composting
- Aerated Static Pile Composting
- In-vessel Composting
After reviewing the science of composting above, select an appropriate method or combination of methods that will best meet your needs. Will backyard composting suffice for reducing residential volume, or should you invest in equipment and labor for larger volumes from restaurants or other businesses? Selecting the right composting equipment at an affordable price also requires careful research. Hundreds of vendors sell composting equipment and there are many variations on each type of equipment.
Composting Challenges
Challenges for the composting industry as a whole include a lack of consistent product quality, market research and planning, investment, accepted national compost specifications, and sophisticated product marketing. In addition, compost end uses range from city and county landscaping to niche markets such as soil remediation. Government agencies could play a larger role by increasing purchases and promotion of compost products. New technologies allow compost companies to tailor their products to specific end-uses, increasing the market value of the material. In fact, more and more compost producers are engineering multiple compost products for applications as diverse as bioremediation of contaminated soil and erosion control at construction sites. Many composting companies are packaging and marketing compost in home repair, garden center, and other retail outlets. Some companies use compost to control odors through new process technologies such as biofilters, while still others are using compost as a filter in water treatment systems.

Please see Chapter 7 of EPAs Decision-Makers Guide to Solid Waste Management (58 pp, 1.7MB, about PDF), Second Edition EPA530-R-95-041, September 1997) for more guidance on environmentally safe ways to compost.

He said "should" and "usually" I don't see an "always" in there. If he said you "should always question" then you'd be correct.
How do you know which absolute statements have exceptions unless you question them all? How do you know which guns are loaded unless you check them all? I was simply following his advice and questioning his absolute statement.
No I was not. You are a liar and a bad person.
What was the condition you were referring to and what was the cure you were referring to? Simply calling me a liar isn't defending your position at all.
Apples and oranges. Driving is necessary for many. Killing people isnt. Also, driving does not serve the purpose of killing people whereas execution does.
Driving isn't necessary at all, many people don't drive. So you are saying it is ok to risk the lives of innocent people so you can drive a car but God forbid you execute someone who was convicted by a court of law of a capital crime? That doesn't make a wink of sense. Not only this, but do you not support having a prison system at all because we may lock an innocent person up for the rest of their life? I think you're the one who is inconsistent on this issue; I will always stand up for innocent life.
I must have missed it. Can you perhaps post the link that says that?
"n a typical ectopic pregnancy, the embryo adheres to the lining of the fallopian tube and burrows into the tubal lining. Most commonly this invades vessels and will cause bleeding. This intratubal bleeding hematosalpinx expels the implantation out of the tubal end as a tubal abortion. Tubal abortion is a common type of miscarriage."
Also, can you tell me what you think should be done about an ectopic pregnancy that has not miscarried and is at the point in it's development where it is threatening to burst the fallopian tube?
Let the pregnancy take its natural course, there have been cases of both mother and baby surviving the ectopic pregnancy. It's not a doctor's job, nor should it ever be, to start deciding to definitely end one person's life in order to possibly save another's. We should be spending all of our time and effort searching for ways to prevent these sorts of pregnancies.

The Science of Promise.
We believe that science is the key to curing ovarian cancer in all women. The science employed in clinical trials compares the currently recognized, best available standard of care with a new treatment that holds the promise of being safer or more effective, offering alternatives for those with ovarian cancer.
Though clinical trials are an important part of research and care of women with ovarian cancer, many have misconceptions about what these trials are, and the types of treatments available. We encourage you to learn about the options available to you as early as possible during treatment.

Comments On Mar 12, 2015:larger than stock but not so big it's in the way. Positive feel and easy to locate when needed. worth the cost since I thought the stock one was too small. Bolts right on the KTM no issue. Has an extra hole for pedal positioning. Good product

Comments On Jul 26, 2014:In nasty elevation trails I struggled more but that's user error. This thing is nicely executed. The description doesn't include it currently but of the 2 pieces that I bought (for my XC300 as well) both came with 3 mounting holes to allow you to adjust placement. I tried the rear setting & I'm going to move them forward to see if I have less occurrences of unintended breaking when my foot slips etc. I REALLY feel pretty good about spending this money & that's not something I can say often

Comments On Jan 18, 2014:It is big, like stand back after installing it and wonder if it's too big, big. Like the pancakes John Candy cooked up in "Uncle Buck" big. It's big. But it works. I highly recommend not installing this the night before a race as it takes some time to get used to. I cooked my rear brake in the first section by dragging the rear brake. But it is adjustable, there are three mounting holes to personalize your fit. If you have big feet, dont make the mistake of mounting it too far to the rear like I did, thus the dragging issue. If you own a KTM you will be pleasantly surprised that this is a plug and play item, it threads nicely into your existing bolt holes with high quality stainless steel hardware. Plus that third bolt hole makes a very nice and clean mounting option for a brake-snake if you run one. I highly recommend this tip and would buy one for future bikes.

Comments On Jan 06, 2014:Fits well, was kinda nervous how it would bolt to stock rear brake lever. There are ZERO installation instructions.However its fairly self explanatory, I just ground off the stock rivets, and then ran a tap through the holes so the hammerhead tip could simply bolt straight to the lever without having a nut on the bottom side to hold it on, looks much cleaner. Much bigger than stock tip, dont ever miss the rear brake now coming hot into a turn!!

Throwing to the Athletics
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
-Walt Disney
Like a kid before the big game, I wore my A's uniform shirt to bed. I dreamt of
throwing strikes. Yesterday, I threw batting practice to the Oakland Athletics.
And it was an amazing feeling, another dream come true.
I picked up my A's uniform on Tuesday at the Stadium, so I came to the practice
field fully dressed and ready to go. The media attention started just steps
away from the parking lot. My 13-year-old daughter became bashful and looked
down and away from the photographers. I whispered to her, "Look up; It's the
one thing I have learned in life."
As the A's began their team stretch, I ran over to the coaching staff and
introduced myself. Bench Coach Joel Skinner and I went over the practice plan.
I would throw BP around 11:30, on field 4, to Coco Crisp, Daric Barton, David
Dejesus, and Landon Powell. I was assured, "They're all good guys."
A's Manager Bob Geren offered to warm me up. So we played catch for a while. As I was throwing, my foot slipped on some wet grass, and I felt my right groin
twitch. I knew instantly that in that one misstep, I had reinjured a nagging
groin injury. But I had thrown BP to three colleges with that same injury just
a week-and-a half earlier, so I knew I could still throw to the A's. Plus,
there isn't anything that could have kept me off that mound; my dream was up
As I stepped behind the L screen, preparing to throw, I stopped and admired the
basket of baseballs beside me. They were so white, so shiny, so beautiful. This
ball has brought so much joy to my life. I smiled, picked up four baseballs,
and readied myself to pitch.
I had a little trouble settling in to my BP session. After I threw four balls
in a row, I stepped away, turned my back to the batter, and thought to myself,
"This is what I feared most – not throwing strikes. And everything is still
okay." I smiled and thought of Christina Taylor and my spiritual pact with her
to have fun. I whispered to myself, "I can do this." I then turned to face
Crisp, reminded myself to get my glove side up, took a deep breath, and threw a
strike…and another one. I had found some rhythm.
As I noticed their pitch selection, it became evident that the players were on
a mission of their own. The A's hitters wanted a ball on the inside, at waist
level, that they could turn on and try to jack out of the park. They were
playing home run derby. Just like kids. And they were having fun. And so was I.

I have not commented since your post "Believe in Your Dreams", but today to my delight, I caught up reading all the posts and comments. You are not only an inspiration on the field but with your writing. I am even taking note of your music selection and your quotes (other ones you quoted and your own). I am your fan!
So what is next after throwing to the A's? Will you stay af few days in Arizona to watch some games? My friends and I are heading to Camelback Ranch from the LA area Saturday morning (Looks like it will be raining Saturday along the way). Wish you could throw to our boys in Blue!
Justine, my ten year old daughter wants to play the game, and seeing you out there is a shining example for her that yeah, girls can play baseball too. Great role model, thank you.
Congratulations on achieving one of your dreams! It sounds like you did yourself and everyone proud and had a great time doing it. I am proud of you for blazing a trail for female athletes and I am proud of the Indians and the A's because it sounds like they welcomed you to batting practice with the same respect as their other batting practice pitchers. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I'm with Emma, what's next for you?
This is a very simple game…
So great what you are doing – I hope that more girls take up baseball – one day we will have women in Major League Baseball!
Hi Justine Im new to the MLBlogs. So glad I found this post on your positive experience with the Oakland A's. Makes me proud to be an A's fan. I can only imagine being able to stand on the mound and take in the stadium from that perspective, exciting! Did ya take any pictures that day? Would love to see em.

Otitis is a general term for infection or inflammation of the ear.
Ear infection; Infection - ear
Otitis can affect the inner or outer parts of the ear. The condition is classified according to whether it occurs suddenly and for a short time (acute) or repeatedly over a long period of time (chronic).
When otitis involves the outer ear and ear canal, it is called otitis externa, often called swimmer's ear. A more severe form can spread into the bones and cartilage around the ear.
When otitis involves the middle ear, located just behind the eardrum, it is called otitis media, or ear infection.
An acute ear infection is often painful and most often starts suddenly, lasting for a short period of time.
Chronic ear infection iswhen the ear infection does not go away or keeps coming back. It may cause long-term damage to the ear.
Otitis media with effusion is when there is thick or sticky fluid behind the eardrum in the middle ear, but there is no ear infection.

There's no better way to get into the Halloween spirit than by watching some scary movies. Check back each weekday in October for a new spooky movie recommendation, courtesy of George Wolf.
Disclaimer: We take no responsibility for nightmares you may have from watching these films.
>> Movies 1 – 5 | 6 – 10 | 11 – 15 | 16 – 20 | 21 – 25 | 26 – 31 <<
October 10th: The Ordeal (Calvaire) (2004)
The Ordeal (Calvaire) | 88 minutes | Unrated
A paranoid fantasy about the link between progress and emasculation, The Ordeal sees a timid singer stuck in the wilds of Belgium after his van breaks down.
Writer/director Fabrice Du Welz's script scares up the darkest imaginable humor. If David Lynch had directed Deliverance in French, the concoction might have resembled The Ordeal. As sweet, shy singer Marc (a pitch perfect Laurent Lucas) awaits aid, he begins to recognize the hell he's stumbled into. Unfortunately for Marc, salvation's even worse.
The whole film boasts an uneasy, "What next?" quality. It also provides a European image of a terror that's plagued American filmmakers for generations: the more we embrace progress, the further we get from that primal hunter/gatherer who knew how to survive.
Du Welz animates more ably than most our collective revulsion over the idea that we've evolved into something incapable of unaided survival; the weaker species, so to speak. Certainly John Boorman's Deliverance (the Uncle Daddy of all backwoods survival pics) understood the fear of emasculation that fuels this particular dread, but Du Welz picks that scab more effectively than any filmmaker since.
His film is a profoundly uncomfortable, deeply disturbing, unsettlingly humorous freakshow that must be seen to be believed.
October 9th: The Shining (1980)
The Shining | 146 minutes | Rated: R
It's isolated, it's haunted, you're trapped, but somehow nothing feels derivative and you're never able to predict what happens next. It's Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece rendition of Stephen King's The Shining.
Though critics were mixed at the time of the film's release, and both Kubrick and co-star Shelley Duvall were nominated for Razzies, much of the world's negative response had to do with a needless affection for the source material. Kubrick and co-scriptor Diane Johnson use King's novel as little more than an outline, and the film is better for it.
A study in atmospheric tension, Kubrick's vision of the Torrance family collapse at the Overlook Hotel is both visually and aurally meticulous. It opens with that stunning helicopter shot, following Jack Torrance's little yellow Beetle up the mountainside, the ominous score announcing a foreboding that the film never shakes.
The hypnotic, innocent sound of Danny Torrance's Big Wheel against the weirdly phallic patterns of the hotel carpet tells so much – about the size of the place, about the monotony of the existence, about hidden perversity. The sound is so lulling that its abrupt ceasing becomes a signal of spookiness afoot.
Duvall terrifies in that she is so visibly terrified. She may be "somewhat more resourceful" than Mr. Grady and his cohorts imagined, but she is a bit of a simpleton. Her gangly, Joey Ramone looks – so boney and homely – are shot to elongate what's already too long, making her seem like a vision of death.
Let's not forget Jack.
Nicholson outdoes himself. His early, veiled contempt blossoms into pure homicidal mania, and there's something so wonderful about watching Nicholson slowly lose his mind. Between writer's block, isolation, ghosts, alcohol withdrawal, midlife crisis, and "a momentary loss of muscular coordination," the playfully sadistic creature lurking inside this husband and father emerges.
What image stays with you most? The two creepy little girls? The blood pouring out of the elevator? The impressive afro in the velvet painting above Scatman Crothers's bed? That freaky guy in the bear suit? Whatever the answer, thanks be to Kubrick's deviant yet tidy imagination.
And, if you're in the mood for a double feature, check out last year's Room 237. As it explores various interpretations of Kubrick's vision that vary in wackiness, it cements the effect The Shining still has on pop culture.
Speaking of… if you've never seen The Simpsons take on it, The Shinning, you gotta remedy that.
October 8th: The Woman (2011)
The Woman | 101 minutes | Rated: R
OK, we're 8 days in. It's time to get real. And by that I mean real nasty.
There's something not quite right about Chris Cleek (an unsettlingly cherubic Sean Bridgers), and his family's uber-wholesomeness is clearly suspect. This becomes evident once Chris hunts down a feral woman (an awesome Pollyanna McIntosh), chains her, and invites the family to help him "civilize" her.
The film rethinks family – well, patriarchy, anyway. Notorious horror novelist and co-scriptor Jack Ketchum may say things you don't want to hear, but he says them well. And director Lucky McKee – in his most surefooted film to date – has no qualms about showing you things you don't want to see. Like most of Ketchum's work, The Woman is lurid and more than a bit disturbing. Indeed, the advanced screener I watched came in a vomit bag.
Aside from an epically awful performance by Carlee Baker as the nosey teacher, the performances are not just good for the genre, but disturbingly solid. McIntosh never veers from being intimidating, terrifying even when she's chained. Bridgers has a weird way of taking a Will Ferrell character and imbibing him with the darkest hidden nature. Even young Zach Rand, as the sadist-in-training teen Brian, nails the role perfectly.
Nothing happens in this film by accident – not even the seemingly innocent baking of cookies – nor does it ever happen solely to titillate. It's a dark and disturbing adventure that finds something unsavory in our primal nature and even worse in our quest to civilize. Don't even ask about what it finds in the dog pen.
Warning: The following trailer contains profanity.
October 7th: Dead Snow (2009)
Dead Snow | 91 minutes | Unrated
Nazi zombies, everybody! Heck yes!
Like its portly nerd character Erlend, Dead Snow loves horror movies. A self-referential "cabin in the woods" flick, Dead Snow follows a handsome mixed-gender group of college students as they head to a remote cabin for Spring Break. A creepy old dude warns them off with a tale of local evil. They mock and ignore him at their peril.
But co-writer/director/Scandinavian Tommy Wirkola doesn't just obey these time honored horror film rules. Like Scream and The Cabin in the Woods, Dead Snow draws your attention to them. It embraces our prior knowledge of the path we're taking to mine for comedy, but doesn't give up on the scares. Wirkola's artful imagination generates plenty of startles, and gore by the gallon.
Spectacular location shooting, exquisite cinematography, effective sound editing and a killer soundtrack combine to elevate the film above its clever script and solid acting. In just one example, there is a gorgeous image of a peaceful Norwegian night – a tent, lit from within, sitting like a jewel nestled in the quiet of a snowy mountainside. The image glistens with pristine outdoorsy beauty – until it … doesn't.
The unapologetically faithful image of the traditional American horror film, Dead Snow is funny and scary, utterly gross and thoroughly enjoyable.
October 6th: The Loved Ones (2009)
The Loved Ones | 84 minutes | Rated: R
Psycho may have asked us to look at the weird relationships possible with mothers and sons, but fathers and daughters can develop dangerously close bonds, as well. For proof, just gander at this Aussie freakshow.
Writer/director/Tasmanian Sean Byrne upends high school clichés and deftly maneuvers between angsty, gritty drama and neon-colored, glittery carnage in a story that borrows from other horror flicks but absolutely tells its own tale.
Brent (Xavier Samuel) is dealing with guilt and tragedy in his own way, and his girlfriend Holly tries to be patient with him. Oblivious to all this, Lola (a gloriously wrong-minded Robin McLeavy) asks Brent to the school dance. He politely declines, which proves to be probably a poor decision.
Byrne quietly crafts an atmosphere of loss and depression in and around the school without painting the troubles cleanly. This slow reveal pulls the tale together and elevates it above a simple work of outrageous violence.
Inside Lola's house, the mood is decidedly different. Here, we're privy to the weirdest, darkest image of a spoiled princess and her daddy. The daddy/daughter bonding over power tool related tasks is – well – I'm not sure touching is the right word for it.
The Loved Ones is a cleverly written, unique piece of filmmaking that benefits from McLeavy's inspired performance as much as it does its filmmaker's sly handling of subject matter. It's a wild, violent, depraved to spend 84 minutes. You should do so now.

Interpretive Handbook
8098 :
Enteric Pathogens Culture, Stool
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Diarrhea may be caused by a number of agents (eg, bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemicals) and these agents may result in similar symptoms. A thorough patient history covering symptoms, severity and duration of illness, age, travel history, food consumption, history of recent antibiotic use, and illnesses in the family or other contacts will help the physician categorize the disease and ensure that any special requests are communicated to the laboratory.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining whether a bacterial enteric pathogen is the cause of diarrhea
May be helpful in identifying the source of the infectious agent (eg, dairy products, poultry, water, or meat)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The growth of an enteric pathogen identifies the cause of diarrhea.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Stool cultures for enteric pathogens are generally not useful from patients hospitalized for more than 3 days because the yield from specimens from these patients is very low, as is the likelihood of identifying a pathogen that has not been detected previously.
Clostridium difficile, a major cause of nosocomial diarrhea, is not detected by this test (order CDRP / Clostridium difficile Toxin, Molecular Detection, PCR).
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is not detected by this test (Order STXRP / Shiga toxin, Molecular Detection, PCR, Feces).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
No growth of pathogens

This story was updated at 10:05 a.m. Jan. 3, 2013.
District police have confirmed that a body discovered in an apartment building ventilation shaft on Biltmore Street NW has been identified as a Clarksburg man who went missing after a New Year's Eve celebration.
D.C. Police Spokesman Officer Araz Alali said the body of Michael Poe, 23, was found at 10:47 p.m. Wednesday.
Poe was celebrating New Year's Eve with his friends at Shenanigan's Irish Pub in Adams Morgan and had been missing ever since, his mother Leslie Poe told the Gazette Wednesday afternoon.
Alali said police got a report of an unconscious person Wednesday evening and found Poe unresponsive upon their arrival at the scene. Alali said Poe's body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner where the cause of death is under investigation.
Poe and his friends had taken the Metro from College Park into Washington on Dec. 31, according to his mother. Poe and his friends split up shortly after 12:30 a.m., and he never returned from D.C., according to Montgomery County Police. His mother said his friends last heard from him when they called them on his cell phone about 2:30 a.m.
Poe graduated from Poolesville High School in 2007, and then enrolled at Virginia Tech, according to his Facebook page. He graduated from Virginia Tech in May.
On Wednesday, Poe's increasingly worried family and friends were handing out flyers in different parts of D.C. and in Montgomery County trying to locate him.
"My son has never done anything remotely like this," Leslie Poe said of his disappearance. "My husband is down there with friends, all down around the Adams Morgan area, Woodley Park, in Rock Creek Park."
Poolesville residents described Poe as a good kid who hadn't engaged in erratic behavior. He played golf and basketball while attending Poolesville High, and worked as a caddy at a golf course this fall, his mother said.
Washington Post reporters Maggie Fazeli Fard and Peter Hermann contributed to this report.

That's it! After 12 months, you will have changed so many animals' lives for the better. Ready to increase the impact of your donations? Join the hundreds of thousands of animal lovers who call themselves ASPCA Guardians.

Comment: Best bowls yet
Auburn nipping Clemson in overtime on Monday would have to rank high on anyone's list — and that's in a bowl sponsored by a chicken restaurant. Or maybe you are more partial to Texas topping 50 points or UH falling just short of a rally. What has been your best bowl yet of the season? [Read More]
Happy Coog Year!
Some of 2007's more-memorable moments… Quick goes Barry Sanders on the Ricebirds. Quick, hauling in the short pass from Kelvis, takes it 85 yards to the house at Oregon.

Owls fall 68-41
Not that the Owls had much beyond a puncher's chance, but this game got away from them once Britton got into foul trouble. He has been a steady hand this season, and without him, the Owls couldn't find any consistency on either end of the court. The Owls shoot 26.8 percent and commit 17 turnovers, […] [Read More]

A Walkup sighting
Ah, Nathan Walkup. WTW couldn't seal the deal on the Deer Park product, and now Walkup is near the end of the Ags' frontcourt rotation. Think he'd help the Owls out? And just like that, Walkup goes back to the bench. But we hear he has a bright future in Aggieland, and with the direction […] [Read More]
And that makes four for Britton
For some odd reason, Britton decided to drop his shoulder into the gut of his defender just inside the 3-point arc, drawing his fourth foul with 16:31 remaining. The Owls are fighting, but they don't have many bullets in their gun. And if the refs allow the physical play to continue, the Ags will be […] [Read More]
Ags getting what they want
Kirk breaking down the Owls defense with penetration? Yep. Jones grabbing key offensive boards? Sure. Jordan scoring with ease on inbounds plays? Got that, too. The Ags have stretched their lead to 40-20, and WTW is looking for a tourniquet. [Read More]
Rice @ A&M: Owls trail 33-18 at halftime
The Owls won't win many games shooting 29.6 percent (8 for 27). And the Ags' frontcourt (Jones-Carter-Jordan) has combined for 26 points on 9-of-19 shooting. With Britton on the bench, the Ags added 10 points on their lead, meaning Britton needs to stay on the floor in the second half. A&M closed the half on […] [Read More]
Ghoram picks up his 3rd foul
Cliff has joined Britton on the bench with three fouls at the 2:02 mark. And the Ags have stretched the lead to 29-18. The Owls are starting to turn the ball over, and the Ags are being more precise in their offensive sets. The Owls must find a way to keep the deficit at a […] [Read More]
There's that Beasley athleticism
How about that leaping steal and disruption of the fast break by Beasley? He then led the break the other way, one that resulted in a tip-in by Cliff Ghoram. [Read More]

AUTOMOBILE SALES COMPLAINTS TOP NACAA/CFA's ANNUAL CONSUMER COMPLAINT LIST
Monday, November 24, 2003
Elizabeth Owen, NACAA, 202-347-7396
Jean Ann Fox, CFA, 202-387-6121
WASHINGTON, DC The twelfth annual consumer complaint survey conducted by the National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators (NACAA) and Consumer Federation of America (CFA) reveals that new and used car auto sales topped the list of consumer complaints filed with state and local consumer protection agencies last year. Internet and e-commerce complaints made the top ten list for the first time in 2002.
Complaints about home improvement companies rated second and were the fastest growing type of complaint, followed by auto repairs, credit and credit repair, and advertising/telemarketing. Rounding out the top ten most frequent causes of complaints were debt collections, big-ticket household goods, telecommunications, and real estate/landlord tenant complaints.
"Consumer problems with cell phone plans, online auctions and purchases made over the Internet are catching up with perennial complaints about big ticket purchases," Jean Ann Fox, Director of Consumer Protection for CFA, said.
The 43 consumer agencies sampled in this survey handled over 300,000 individual complaints in 2002, and were able to successfully return to consumers $130 million. Growth in complaints continues to outstrip increases in budget or staff.
"This is money consumers never would have gotten back had it not been for the successful intervention and complaint handling of these government agencies," according to Elizabeth Owen, NACAA Executive Director.
The complete NACAA/CFA report is available online at www.consumerfed.org.
NACAA is a membership organization of consumer protection agencies at all levels of government. This survey report is based on 43 NACAA members' responses to questions about their 2002 complaint records.
CFA is a non-profit association of 300 consumer groups, with a combined membership of more than 50 million people. CFA was founded in 1968 to advance the consumers' interest through advocacy and education.

Audi's S3 Sportback is fast, comfortable and well-equipped.
The most powerful production car ever built in Australia.
