When Neighbor Boy came into our lives--four years ago, if I remember correctly--all the children ran and squealed together; for all intents and purposes, gender differences didn't exist.
The three of them were happy to play video games and wield swords in the front yard and chase each other from one house to the other.
But then time moved on and Little Missy's play time with the boys slowly waned.
She could no longer feign interest in their video games and would instead color quietly in the other room to bide time until they all went running and squealing outside again. Then she stopped going down to Neighbor Boy's grandparents' house at all; the boys' Lego-building, Minecraft world-creating lives ran fully separate from her coloring and reading interests.
And it was very sad.
When Neighbor Boy would knock on the door and G would tear out of the house to hang out with him I'd sometimes prompt Little Missy. "Don't you want to go play with the boys, too?" She'd shrug her shoulders and tilt her head to the side. "I'm okay!" But I was sad for her, sad that she'd lost her brother and her friend in one fell swoop that was months in the making.
Then Tuesday night, in the midst of the glorious sunshine that May finally brought, Little Missy and Neighbor Boy ended up playing in the yard together while G was at baseball practice. Those two dug in the mud, created pathways and dams for the water, then sloshed water in a bucket. Their mutual love of dirt gave them something to do together.
And it was happy.
The next day before school Little Missy told me that she was going to invite Neighbor Boy over right after school. And she did. And the next day it was the same.
And so I am happy for this perfect weather that is conducive to playing outside and getting dirty, giving my daughter her friends back.
Dirt bridges the divide
When Neighbor Boy came into our lives--four years ago, if I remember correctly--all the children ran and squealed together; for all intents and purposes, gender differences didn't exist.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Mark Udall on Monday accused the National Security Agency of providing false information in a fact sheet about its spying programs, and in a letter to NSA director Gen. Keith Alexander, Udall said the agency is portraying stronger privacy protections for Americans than actually exist.
Udall and Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden contend the NSA's fact sheet on the so-called 702 program, which gives the government authority to collect foreigners' phone and Internet communications, has "significant" inaccuracies, according to the letter obtained by The Denver Post.
The fact sheet details the government's interpretation of Section 702 of the Patriot Act, was distributed to all members of Congress and is up on NSA's website.
The NSA's publication maintains the government may not target any Americans anywhere in the world under this law, that there must be a "valid, documented" foreign intelligence purpose for the government to use this authority and that the government must minimize the acquisition of information that isn't relevant to intelligence investigations.
Udall said he could not elaborate on what part of the two-page fact sheet is inaccurate because it would divulge classified information.
"In our judgment, this inaccuracy is significant, as it portrays protections for Americans' privacy as being significantly stronger than they actually are," the two senators wrote. "We urge you to correct this statement as soon as possible."
The NSA did not immediately respond to The Denver Post for comment on the letter to Alexander.
"When the NSA makes inaccurate statements about government surveillance and fails to correct the public record, it can decrease public confidence in the NSA's openness," Udall and Wyden wrote in the letter. "Rebuilding this confidence will require a willingness to correct misstatements and a willingness to make reforms where appropriate."
In the same letter, Udall and Wyden said the fact sheet seems to contradict earlier statements Alexander made under oath that he had no ability to determine how many American communications had been mistakenly collected by the NSA using this authority.
The fact sheet says "any inadvertently acquired communication" concerning an American must be destroyed if it isn't relevant to any terrorism investigation.
The senators said they believe that line is "somewhat misleading in that it implies the NSA has the ability to determine how many American communications it has collected."
Udall has been pushing Alexander to be more forthcoming on the surveillance program. In a speech last year he called it "disconcerting" that the NSA director could not give any estimate on how many Americans' phone records and e-mails were inadvertently collected.
"It's hard for us to believe that the director of national intelligence ... cannot come up with at least a ballpark estimate," Udall said last year
Udall introduced a law a couple of weeks ago that intends to greatly reduce the federal government's ability to collect data on Americans' phone calls without a demonstrated link to terrorism.
That proposal was tucked into a bigger overhaul to the Patriot Act introduced Monday.
Udall said in the letter to Alexander on Monday that he believed the U.S. government should have broad authorities to investigate terrorism and should aggressively pursue terrorists — but it should do it without compromising ordinary Americans' constitutional rights.
"Achieving this goal depends not just on secret courts and secret congressional hearings but on informed public debate, as well," the letter said.

He's a Utah original. A high-energy whirlwind with a handlebar mustache, who for the past 16 years has been the unabashed mayor of Murray.
After four terms as the elected chief executive of the town of 47,000 in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, 64-year-old Dan Snarr is cleaning out his City Hall office after choosing not to seek reelection."I'm the longest tenured mayor in the history of Murray," Snarr observed in an interview during his final week in office. . "It wasn't intended that way — there was just always one more thing that needed doing."Snarr's administration brought progress to the town, taking down smelting chimneys he believed were unsafe, replacing them with 100-acre healthcare campus, and adopting a fiber-optic network.
But more than anything, the Murray mayor is known for his 22-inch handlebar mustache. He's chopped it off once or twice for charity, but it keeps coming back.
A cowboy poet by avocation, Snarr has even written a lengthy poem about it. One verse goes like this:
"I have a simple goal/ Based on ancient folklore./ To grow a mustache, oh so long,/I'll have to walk sideways through the door."
Snarr said he got the notion to grow the handlebar from a Frederic Remington painting. "He looked like me but he had an outrageous mustache. I said to myself, I'm going to grow myself a manly mustache."
But such facial hair, when waxed, can be hazardous, he explained. Recently, while having his picture taken with Gov. Gary Herbert and his wife, Jeanette, Snarr turned his head suddenly and his mustache poked the first lady right in the eye.
The Murray mayor also has a hard time saying "no" to people who want him to marry them. He says he's probably married more couples than any other Salt Lake County mayor. He's married them on Ferris wheels, trampolines and even motorcycles. But most, he explained, were married standing on the ground.
Snarr decided to run for mayor 16 years ago, after his sister Trisha Beck was appointed to a vacant seat in the Utah state legislature. Snarr owned a landscaping business before running for mayor.

ROCKFORD - Already dangerously low temperatures are falling as today's low could challenge a record ripe for besting and then keep right on falling.
January is generally considered the coldest month of the year in Illinois. But when it comes to dangerous cold in January, Rockford's daily record of 13 below zero set Jan. 27, 1988, isn't all that low, National Weather Service Meteorologist Ed Fenelon said.
"There is a pretty good chance we could hit that tonight and could surpass the record," Fenelon said. "It's one of the weaker - for lack of a better word - records. When you scan the record lows, it's one of the mildest records in January."
It's expected to continue getting colder throughout the morning, level off and then get colder again tonight. It's possible the record low for Jan. 28 could have fallen overnight as we headed for a low of 22 below, which would tie the record set Jan. 28, 1915.
A wind chill warning remains in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Temperatures at the Chicago Rockford International Airport measured at 4 below at 6 a.m. and fell 2 degrees by 8 a.m. Although today's low is forecasted to bottom out at 7 below with wind chill at 35 below, as temperatures fall tonight the record could fall before midnight.
Temperatures are expected to rise Wednesday to a high of 19 degrees. That's above zero.
Residents are being warned to stay home, especially in rural or open areas, if possible, because drifting and blowing snow remains a problem on rural roads. Pack an emergency kit if you must travel, dress in layers and remain vigilant for frost bite and hypothermia, Fenelon said.
The Illinois Department of Transportation says more than 600 trucks are out clearing roads as whiteout conditions are being reported in some parts of the state.
Agency officials said Monday that roads are "slick and dangerous" in northern Illinois and cautioned drivers only to venture out if "absolutely necessary."
The agency has 750 employees who are working to remove the snow from hard-hit areas. To get an idea of regional road conditions, drivers can visit gettingaroundillinois.com.
The Rockford City Council postponed its scheduled meetings Monday night because of the severe weather conditions. Council and committees will meet instead on Wednesday at the previously scheduled times.

A University of Colorado student who was arrested in Hawaii on suspicion of sexual assault in December had his bond set at $50,000 today after turning himself in at the Boulder County Jail.
Nicholas Philip Foti, 21, was booked on suspicion of sexual assault, first-degree burglary and sexual contact. He is due for a formal filing of charges Thursday.
According to police, a 19-year-old woman claims that, in September, Foti and another man came to her home during the early morning hours looking for one of her roommates. The victim told police that Foti and the other man entered the residence without her permission and when Foti realized she was alone, he sexually assaulted her.
The victim told police Foti and the other man called her obscenities during the attack, vandalized her kitchen and smashed a bicycle before leaving.
The victim reported the incident in December, and Foti was arrested shortly after while visiting family in Hawaii. Foti was not extradited and was allowed to return to Boulder on his own before turning himself in at the jail.
Foti and two friends were arrested on animal cruelty charges in Boulder in November 2011 after witnesses said they killed a raccoon using a machete and baseball bat. Foti, who told police he was the first one to strike the animal, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor animal cruelty in August and was sentenced to 12 months of probation.

Anthony J. Standifer, who was convicted of the murder of a retired Independence Police Department employee in 2010, wants his life sentence set aside.
According to the Independence Police Department, Standifer, 28, has filed a motion to have his sentence revoked. He was supposed to appear before Judge Jack Grate on Friday, but he couldn't attend. The department said in a Twitter post Friday that officials at the Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, Mo., said were never notified to transfer Standifer to Jackson County for the hearing.
A tweet by IPD said �they can�t have the hearing without him being here, so they will have to reschedule.�
Standifer was convicted in May 2011 of second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and first-degree robbery in the death and home invasion of Beverly Crowl. He received two consecutive life sentences in July 2011.
Standifer and three others smashed the front door and entered Crowl�s home in the 14600 block of East 37th Street in Independence on March 19, 2010. Police said the group intended to rob a drug dealer of marijuana and money, but they went to the wrong house.�The 69-year-old Crowl was home alone at the time. She�had worked for the Independence Police Department for more than 30 years before retiring in 2008.
Court records say Standifer and his party saw Crowl holding a phone. They searched the house and after finding nothing, took her purse. Standifer shot Crowl in the head because she saw their faces, according to court records.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — USDA has announced a final rule for the federal Women, Infants and Children nutrition program that continues to single out fresh, white potatoes as the only ineligible fresh fruit or vegetable.
Potato industry leaders, concerned that the exclusion sends a negative message about their commodity's nutritional value, had made changing the policy a top legislative priority.
The nutrition program was utilized by 9.7 million low-income pregnant or nursing women and young children last year. USDA officials said WIC is accepted at 45,000 U.S. stores, which also benefits the general population due to increased selection of healthy foods in low-income neighborhoods.
Language was included in the recent federal appropriations bill expressing that it's the "sense of Congress" that USDA should welcome fresh potatoes into WIC. During a Feb. 28 press conference, Kevin Concannon, USDA undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, said his agency will respect Congress's sentiments by asking the Institute of Medicine to immediately commence a scientific review of all WIC items, a year ahead of the scheduled 2015 timeframe.
"We honor our commitment to science, but we also point out that we are listening," Concannon said.
The final rule considers public comments from 7,700 individuals — including 266 who requested the inclusion of fresh white potatoes — in response to an interim WIC rule published in December of 2007. It also factors in IOM data, finding the target WIC population already consumes enough potatoes. Concannon said adding white potatoes would send a confusing message to mothers.
"This rule continues the exclusion of white potatoes because it maintains the consistency of IOM recommendations. This is a science-based program," Concannon said.
National Potato Council spokesman Mark Szymanski noted the IOM consumption data utilized in the final WIC rule dates back to the mid-1990s, and USDA's 2010 Dietary Guidelines call for Americans to eat more starchy vegetables.
Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, has vowed to use any legislative vehicle at his disposal to include white potatoes in WIC.
"I am deeply disappointed in the USDA's continued war on potatoes and thought the intent of Congress in support of potatoes was crystal clear," Simpson said.
Washington Potato Commission Executive Director Chris Voigt called the USDA's final rule "the most egregious attack on logic and science I have ever seen." Voigt emphasized potatoes are high in fiber and potassium.
Though the potato policy remained unchanged, the final rule included a few key revisions from the interim rule. The cash value of fruit and vegetable vouchers per child will increase from $6 to $8 per month.
Yogurt is now eligible as a partial substitute for milk for women and children, at each state's discretion. Children between 12 months and 2 years old, who were previously limited to whole milk, may now purchase low-fat milk in cases in which obesity is of concern.
Whole wheat pasta will be eligible as a wheat substitute, and fresh fruits and vegetables may be substituted for a portion of prepared baby food purchases for infants between the ages of 9 months and 11 months.

Gordon, who held office from 1997 to 2004, may transition back into his old role as soon as Nov. 13 if the Attorney General's Office agrees.
When Tom Gordon begins serving as New Castle County Executive, he plans on revamping the county's Public Safety, Land Use, and Finance departments.
And this could happen as early as next week.
Gordon, who held office from 1997 to 2004, may transition back into his old role as soon as Nov. 13 if the Attorney General's Office agrees.
"We have to govern and reorganize," Gordon, a Democrat, said.
In the Nov. 6 general elections, Gordon beat Republican Mark Blake by more points than his campaign projected.
Blake, a civic association leader from Hockessin, received about 36 percent of the votes while Gordon took 64 percent.
At 10:15 p.m. Nov. 6, 266 of New Castle County's 268 voting districts reported polling results.
Gordon won with more than 148,000 votes.
After winning the September primary elections and out seating incumbent Paul Clark, Gordon said that his campaign calmed down.
He said that by then, he felt the public supported him.
Blake said that he thought more votes would have been cast in his favor in the primarily Democratic county.
"It's as the story goes," Blake said, "everyone will be watching closely. We hope he does a fantastic job and turns things around with the economy and puts citizens first."
In the first half of the county executive elections, Gordon and Clark continuously questioned each others ethics.
Clark touted felony racketeering charges that Gordon faced more than a decade ago, and Gordon questioned Clark's ethics with the land use department.
Ultimately, the felony charges against Gordon were dropped and he pled guilty to lesser charges.
With the lead he had over Blake, Gordon said that he wasn't worried about his past being an issue Tuesday.
"[The people] didn't believe the Republicans' attacks and didn't believe or hold them against me," he said.
Gordon chose to run for his old position because he did not like the way the county was run over the past eight years, he said.
He plans on tackling the county's Unified Development Code, which has been described as many as a mess that is not followed.
"We'll bring it all back together," Gordon said, "the attorneys, the citizens ... We'll see what broke and fix it."
He said that he is looking forward to working with newly elected County Council President Chris Bullock, who he describes as qualified and a good friend.
Despite his loss, Blake said that he will remain active in county government and with the Greater Hockessin Area Development Association.
"We were hoping more voters would want our new ideas and honest and ethical government," Blake said Tuesday night. "There's still a lot going on and we'll work with the government."
Gordon plans a smooth transition into office and said that he will work with Clark.
If the Attorney General's Office decides in his favor, the transition will begin next week rather than in January.
In 1997, Gordon said that he was ready when he made the transition in January. He said he's ready now, but it will be quicker.
Gordon plans on taking a look at county staff in all department's and making changes where needed.
"The best thing we will do is bring the citizens back into government," he said.

Christopher Wheeler had gross income of about $4,600,000 in 2007, $5,600,000 in 2008, and $1,600,000 in 2009, but failed to file timely tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service to report this income, according to the U.S. Attorney General's Office.
Christopher Wheeler, 46, of Victor, was charged in a three-count information with willfully failing to file tax returns for 2007, 2008 and 2009, according to U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. The charges, announced April 16, carry a maximum sentence of three years in prison and a $75,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John J. Field, who is handling the case, stated in a release that Wheeler had gross income of about $4,600,000 in 2007, $5,600,000 in 2008, and $1,600,000 in 2009, but failed to file timely tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service to report this income.
In addition, Wheeler's name is listed among the top 250 New York State Delinquent Taxpayers on the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website. The website lists his total docketed balance of personal income tax due to New York State as of April 12, 2013 as $938,417.
The criminal charges are the culmination of an investigation by special agents of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Shantelle P. Kitchen, Acting Special Agent in Charge, New York Field Office, according to a release from the U. S. Attorney's Office.
These developments follow an ongoing civil case in which Wheeler is being sued by the federal Securities and Exchange Commission for alleged fraud. In relation to that case, federal authorities sought to seize several of Wheeler's assets, including a Keuka lakefront home located in Barrington, a house in Victor, a bank account, and four vehicles, including a 2003 Ferrari Modena 360 and a 2007 BMW M6.
In papers filed by the SEC Jan. 14, 2011 in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, Wheeler was accused of failing to disclose that he was being paid by certain issuers to promote their stock while selling millions of his own shares for profits in the millions. The case was transferred to the Western District Court in Rochester.
In April 2012, Wheeler agreed, without admitting wrongdoing, to pay a civil penalty and give up ill-gotten gains from the penny stock "pump-and-dump" scheme he ran from a website, OTCStockwatch.com.

LYONS -- A Lyons-area man suspected of firing a weapon during a disturbance Sunday morning apparently left the home before officers arrived, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office reported Sunday evening.
Law enforcement officers were called to the home on the 3500 block of Colard Lane, northwest of Lyons, at about 11:30 a.m. Deputies from the Larimer County and Boulder County sheriff's offices and troopers from the Colorado State Patrol responded to the incident, as did the Larimer County SWAT team.
Residents of Longmont reported seeing as many as eight squad cars and two ambulances -- all with emergency lights and sirens running -- heading west on Colo. Highway 66 at about 4:30 p.m.
No one was injured, the Sheriff's Office said.
Officers were on scene "a good portion of the day," Sheriff Justin Smith tweeted at 7:30 p.m.
At about 9 p.m., the Larimer County Sheriff's Office released a statement saying, "The subject was not in the home and is believed to have fled prior to law enforcement (sic) arrival."
Officials believe the man fled the area in a vehicle. The home is located north of U.S. Highway 36 and west of Blue Mountain Road.
The press release did not include a description of the vehicle or the man, other than to say he was a Hispanic male in his mid-50s

text: It takes a lot for me to get behind a 30-year-old running back with a staggering 2,802 career touches on his resume.It's going to take a special player, in a special situation, playing for a special team. As a member of the Falcons, Steven Jackson fits that bill.1. THE PLAYEROver the last two seasons, Jackson has averaged a healthy 4.23 yards per carry while running behind the Rams' horrendous offensive line. And over the final eight games of last season -- when most older backs really wear down -- Jackson picked it up. He racked up 21.8 touches for 107.7 total yards during that span. We can comfortably say there's plenty of tread left on these tires.How? It's a credit to Jackson's 6'2/240 frame and the remarkable physical condition he keeps himself in. He's missed just two games over the last four seasons.2. THE SITUATIONA) Competition: Some will point to Jacquizz Rodgers and suggest a timeshare. Don't be silly. If the Falcons were comfortable with Rodgers, they wouldn't have given an overweight, washed up, inept Michael Turner the ball 222 times last season. They clearly don't trust Rodgers as much more than a change-of-pace option and receiver out of the backfield. On 151 career carries, he's averaged a pathetic 3.75 yards per carry.So we know Jackson is going be the feature back, at least filling the Turner role. That's the absolute floor.B) Fantasy football is about touchdowns: Per @LateRoundQB, Jackson got just 27 red-zone touches last year. Turner got 51. Let that sink in for a moment. The Falcons gave Turner the ball in scoring position 51 times and he turned that into 11 touchdowns. Jackson has at least twice more burst, is more likely to break tackles and has better long speed. The Falcons will trust him more in the red-zone and he'll do more with those touches. S-Jax is going to break his previous career-high of 16 touchdowns in a season, set in 2006.C) Jackson is a pass-catching back in an elite passing offense: When we talk about true three-down plus goal-line runners, Jackson is the prototype. He averages 3.10 catches per game for his career, excelling in both the screen and dump game. It's something that just wasn't in Turner's arsenal.3. THE TEAMJackson's fantasy value has been capped for a long time simply due to the team he played for. The Rams didn't get in the red-zone so he didn't have a chance to score touchdowns. The Rams didn't have a passing game so he faced eight-man boxes far too often. The Rams were always trailing in games so he fell out of the mix. That's all about to change.The Falcons trio of Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez forces opponents to play both their safeties high. That means actual room to run once Jackson breaks through the line.We also know that they'll be winning the majority of their games. Largely keeping last year's 13-3 team intact, Jackson will have plenty of clock-killing drives to rack up stats in second halves.Bottom line: Turner was fantasy's No. 17 running back last season. But where would he have finished if he played for the Rams? Top-40? Maybe. Jackson did play for the Rams and finished 16th. A top-10 ranking for him next year is within reach.The rest of the fallout:* The Rams are not expected to add a veteran to their backfield. That means they're prepared to roll with Daryl Richardson, Isaiah Pead and whatever talent they add via the draft. Richardson is the name everyone remembers from last year, but he wore down badly and averaged just 3.9 YPC over the final eight games of the season. He has a fraction of Pead's natural talent. Although Pead struggled as a raw rookie, he's the one to watch. He has 4.4 wheels at 5'10/197.* Downgrade Tony Gonzalez and Matt Ryan slightly. The Falcons' go-to play in the red zone many times last year was throw it up to T-Gonz in traffic and hope he comes down with it. That worked for eight scores. In 2013, Jackson will be converting a larger percentage of red-zone carries for touchdowns.* Downgrade Jacquizz Rodgers: As detailed above, Jackson is an elite athlete that doesn't want to come off the field. It's part of the reason he left St. Louis, the only team he's ever known. Rodgers got 147 touches last year and will be lucky to reach that in 2013.

"Using a Mac may certainly be a safer choice for a lot of people as despite being vulnerable they are not targeted. However this is not the same as Macs being secure, something Eric Schmidt erroneously advised recently. I may be able to browse impervious to malware on a Mac at the moment, however I personally would not be comfortable using a platform so easily compromised if someone had the motivation to do so. In this article I address just why OS X is so insecure including the technical shortcomings of OS X as well as Apples policies as a company that contribute to the situation."

Allows a number of non-locking mounts to be securely locked to the crossbar.
Yakima SKS Lock Cores. These are the heart of the Yakima SKS system, and are easy to install in every rack and mount that have the words "lockable with SKS cores" next to them. Yakima SKS Lock Cores are available in 2, 4, 6,8, 10, and 12 packs. Buy the pack that fits your needs.

Keep Your Mind At Peace!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Super easy installation (literally takes minutes) and your rack system and other accessories in my case: Yakima Frontloader Bike Mount x 2 and Yakima FatCat 6 will be safe! Keep your mind at peace and your outdoor toys safe!!!
Lock Needed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
You will need this to protect your bikes or racks, it is most. Don't be fooled, by them if you need them. Protect your investment.
Finally finished my Yakima rack
These were the last things I needed to finish my Yakima roof rack. Without them I was afraid my Q-Clips were going to come loose but when I added these on they held tight. Great product.
Yakima Lock Cores
These are an important add on to any Yakima racking system. Four cores are needed to lock down a RailGrab tower to start off with. After that, it is often useful to have at least 4 more to lock down other racks on to the rails. Getting a larger set could be worth it for future expansion or for multiple cars, if you want to keep the same lock for all cores.
Installation (and removal) just takes a few seconds per core. There is a key unique to the lock, as well as a control key which allows the lock to be removed if needed, after unlocking it.
Peace of mind
These work, nothing fancy, but they lock down your rack and any add-ons. Only thing I found when installing them is that you cant tighten down your Q towers too tight or else the lock will not turn to close.
Just Buy Them
Stop wondering if it's really worth the money and just buy them. I bought twelve and it is so nice to be able to walk away from my car with complete confidence that when i come back, my whole rack system will be there. And if I want to take it apart, the same key works with all of the components, from my towers to my ski racks and back again. Think about the amount of money you have invested in your racks, plus the amount you have invested in the gear that is held by those racks, and $110 for twelve cores starts to sound like a mighty good deal.
Great Product
High quality and very easy to install. Recommend as a security feature. Wish I bought them years ago
Just what I needed.
This 12 pack is great as it allows me to use one key for my bike and snow racks, and I still have a few more left over for future add-ons.
Can I order SKS cores to match the key/SKS...
Can I order SKS cores to match the key/SKS cores I already have?
Yes, BUT you have to order them from a Yakima dealer and give them your serial number for the other lock cores, so that the tumblers will match your cores you already have. AGAIN, you must order from Yakima.

Kenn Hoekstra, formerly of Raven Software, made a post to our forums on the Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back rumor mentioned earlier (story), as he is a leading authority on the SoF franchise (and, of course, KISS). While Kenn's post confirms the project is in the works, he also confirms Raven is not the developer, and that this will be a value-price project: "Raven isn't developing this game. And it's Activision Value that's publishing it." FiringSquad has a story speculating this will be a budget title (which we have seemingly confirmed), and they also say an anonymous source has named Cauldron as the project's developer.

LONGMONT -- The city of Longmont has confirmed that Sam's Club is the "membership club warehouse" anchor at Village at the Peaks, the name for the redeveloped Twin Peaks Mall.
Longmont economic development director Brad Power confirmed the identity of the retailer Wednesday morning, which the mall's owner, NewMark Merrill Mountain States, had previously declined to disclose.
"Everything that comes in our door ... is subject to public inquiry," Power said. "We decided as a team that if we were ever asked a direct question as to who that anchor retailer was, we would reveal it."
Allen Ginsborg, managing director and principal of NewMark Merrill Mountain States, had said Tuesday that his company had signed an agreement with Sam's that left it up to the retailer to decide when its name became public, which is why he had not disclosed the name.
Now, all three of Village at the Peaks' main anchor tenants are known: Knoxville, Tenn.-based Regal Entertainment Group, which currently runs the United Artists theater in the mall, will be the operator of a new 12-screen movie theater; Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market will be the natural grocer that Ginsborg has said was high on Longmont residents' wish list, second only behind a new movie theater; and Bentonville, Ark.-based Sam's Club will be the operators of a 100,000-square-foot membership club warehouse store.
"It's all good news, right?" Ginsborg said Wednesday. "We've got a project that's real and we've got some of the best retailers in the world as part of it."
He added that just as Longmont residents expressed a strong desire for a new movie theater and a natural grocer, a membership-style retailer such as Sam's Club or Costco also figured high on people's wish lists.
"When we pursue tenants we pursue everybody in the category," Ginsborg said. "We may have preferences and we may have opinions, but at the end of the day the marketplace decides who locates at our site."
Sam's Club originally had been announced years ago as a neighboring tenant to Longmont's second Walmart Supercenter, which was built in 2010 southeast of Colo. Highway 119 and County Line Road. At the time the Supercenter opened, parent company Wal-Mart said it was still planning to build the Sam's Club, but in a "future phase." But the city's development services manager, Joni Marsh, said Wednesday that the company's application on the southeast side of the city had expired, and she believed that parcel of land had been put up for sale.
Sam's Clubs are in more than 600 locations and claim 47 million members in the United States and Puerto Rico, according to information posted on the company's website. The site also said each store averages 175 employees.
The city is partnering on the $80 million mall redevelopment by contributing up to $27.5 million to the project that will repaid using tax increment financing. The redevelopment agreement required the developer to secure a "large-format general merchandise retailer" -- Sam's Club -- that will occupy at least 100,000 square feet and is projected to generate at least $400 of taxable sales per square foot; a stadium-style movie theater -- Regal -- projected to generate at least $35 of taxable sales per square foot; and a natural grocer -- Whole Foods -- that will occupy at least 28,000 square feet and is projected to generate at least $540 of taxable sales per square foot.
The agreement calls for deconstruction of the existing mall and construction of Village at the Peaks to be under way by the end of this year, with 75 percent of the new center built and open for business by the holiday season in 2014.

Farewell to DirectX on bit-tech.net hears from Richard Huddy, head of GPU developer relations at AMD, who states that DirectX is holding back game performance. He blames this on consoles, though it seems logical that this would probably be less of an issue for AMD if they manufactured CPUs or GPUs for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. Though programming more directly for the hardware on two different GPU architectures would be more difficult, he claims the most common request he gets from developers is to "make the API go away."

Phoenix Adopts LGBT Anti-Discrimination Measure
The Phoenix City Council approved a proposal Tuesday to expand the city's anti-discrimination law to include protections for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people in city contracts, housing, employment and public accommodations such as restaurants.
The city currently prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, genetic information and marital status.
More than 50 people spoke about the issue at a council hearing that lasted more than four hours and stretched into the night.
Mayor Greg Stanton said the changes would help Phoenix compete with more than 160 U.S. cities that already have enacted similar provisions.
"The more we embrace diversity, the better Phoenix will be for business, tourism, high-wage jobs and our future economy," Stanton said. "Updating our ordinance is the right thing to do. It's long past due."
He said approval of the proposal would mean an employer could not fire someone for being gay, and a hotel could not turn away a same-sex couple.
The proposal drew opposition from social conservatives and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix.
The diocese contends the proposal is too broadly worded and could trample on religious liberties.
Councilman Sal DiCiccio said the vote should've been postponed "until it gets a proper vetting." He called the proposal "extremist and radical for Phoenix" and said it could lead to lawsuits for all businesses that operate in the city.
"A more reasonable proposal and transparency is needed," he said.
But City Council candidate David Lujan said that as the nation's sixth largest city, Phoenix should take "leadership in adopting initiatives that make our city an attractive place to live, work and visit."

I have been a mail carrier for 25 years. I would like to thank all the kind folks who gave me help or encouragement as I struggled along in the recent bad snows.
It's a shame that our own VMF (vehicle maintenance facility) doesn't care if we get stuck or not. My mail truck arrived back from servicing on the day after Christmas — missing my snow shovel.
Apparently anything not nailed down gets stolen at the VMF. When I complained, I was told, "You should know better than to leave anything inside."
They even stole a hand towel I used to clean the exterior mirrors, and a township map I used to help lost motorists.
Most employers have trouble with employee theft. Here at the post office, we have a serious problem that's even worse. Stealing a snow shovel from a mailman on the eve of a snowstorm is almost like taking a cane from a blind man.
This is the kind of support we get from our maintenance facility.
So, if people see us digging ourselves out with our hands, they should be sympathetic. We're doing the best we can with what we don't have.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- With individual medals and a team trophy in hand, Colorado men's cross country runners took turns posing for quick photos Saturday before heading to the airport and barely making their flight home.
The post-race photo sessions weren't all the Buffs rushed through at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park. They also made quick work of the 10K course.
Colorado didn't win the national title it was after, but did place an impressive third at the NCAA championships.
"That's about what we expected," junior Jake Hurysz said. "Obviously we wanted to win, but Oklahoma State was just too good and Wisconsin was pretty experienced. I think we're pretty pleased with third place."
Oklahoma State won the men's title with 72 points, followed by Wisconsin (135) and Colorado (158). Individually, Texas Tech's Kennedy Kithuka was the champion. Hurysz was 32nd to lead CU, followed closely by Aric Van Halen in 36th and Blake Theroux in 39th. The top 40 runners earned All-American designation. Freshman Pierce Murphy just missed out, placing 45th.
Oregon won the women's title with 114 points. Providence (183) and Stanford (198) rounded out the top three, while Colorado (519) was 24th. Iowa State's Betsy Saina was the individual champ, while CU's Shalaya Kipp earned All-American designation for the third year in a row, placing 18th.
To get third, the young and inexperienced CU men went after the fast course and didn't let up.
"They did indeed attack the race," CU head coach Mark Wetmore said. "I was (watching) about 250 meters into the race and I think Blake was leading the whole thing. They were very aggressive and when you do it that way, it hurts for a long time, but on a twisty, bumpy sometimes narrow course like this, we knew we had to get out. They just took the pain and it paid off."
This was Colorado's 11th top-three finish, including its sixth in the past 13 years. This year's squad of seven, however, had combined for just five races at the NCAA championships. Hurysz, who was 62nd in 2011 while running for North Carolina, was the only Buff to post a top-125 performance at nationals before Saturday.
Despite that inexperience, the Buffs ran the course like veterans. It was quite a change from a disappointing third-place finish at regionals on Nov. 9.
"We knew this was the important meet, so coming off of that (at regionals) week, we just re-geared," Theroux said. "We knew how good we were, we knew we were fit. "
Hurysz was not thrilled with his individual race, but said his teammates played a key role in him finishing strong to secure his first All-American designation.
"I was looking to be a little bit higher than where I finished, but things didn't come together for me today," he said. "I saw Blake and Aric most of the race and they just kept picking me up and I followed them. We worked really well together up front."
Van Halen and Theroux also earned All-American honors for the first time.
"If you go inside Balch Fieldhouse and you see the wall full of All-Americans, if my name can be on that wall, it's really awesome," Theroux said. "To do it in my third year, it's great."
The Colorado women's team also tried to attack the course, but did not execute their plan well. The Buffs came in ranked 23rd nationally and felt they could get into the top 15 with a good day. Kipp was the only Buff to finish in the top 135.
"Unlike the men, the women were tentative, got behind, which was discouraging, and then had a really hard time battling their way back into it," Wetmore said.
The women's team is scheduled to return everybody in 2013, so the general feeling was that Saturday's result, while disappointing, could serve as a springboard to the future.
"It was a lot of the girls' first-time running in a race of this size and caliber," said Kipp, who earned her third All-American designation. "I think they've all learned a lot.
"The experience the girls learned is going to be helpful. They'll be disappointed today, but hopefully they'll remember that a year from now."
Freshman Carrie Verdon, who has had a great first season, was certainly pleased to get this race under her belt.
"It was definitely good experience," she said. "I didn't have the best race but just being here as a freshman is really special."

This season, the Buffs are changing up the usual weekly press conference schedule to include fans. The first of those sessions was held Tuesday at the Millennium Harvest House, with the usual flock of media along with a few dozen fans.
"It's not bad, so far," Embree joked midway through the session.
In the past, the press conference has been held at the Dal Ward Center. While several of the weekly conferences will continue to be at Dal Ward, there will be four more at the Millennium Harvest House and two at the UMC in the Glenn Miller Ballroom.
"It's really an idea that was born through (CU sports information director) Dave Plati," Buffs athletic director Mike Bohn said. "There's so many wonderful things revealed in a format of the press conference, tough questions for our coaches, other input that maybe the Buff Club members don't have an opportunity to hear normally.
"We feel like it's a huge commitment to our transparency and an opportunity to really feature all the insides and outs of the program from our coaches and our players. We want to continue to allow our coach and our players to be themselves, but also to understand the wonderful role that they play in being the face of our program.
"We'll keep adding some new aspects of it, but we encourage people to come and give it a try and see how the interaction between the coach and the players and the media works and you might learn something about our players and our coach."
Embree talked about a variety of topics, including his disappointment in the Buffs' performance during a 22-17 loss to Colorado State on Saturday.
Embree said the Buffs remain committed to the no-huddle offense, and remain committed to junior quarterback Jordan Webb, who had an up-and-down game against CSU.
"I don't think Jordan was the issue with our performance on Saturday," Embree said.
In addition, Embree praised several players, including the freshmen who got into the action Saturday.
Facing Sacramento State on Saturday at Folsom Field, Embree said he hopes to see a better performance out of the Buffs.
"Defensively, better tackling; I'd like to see a few more turnovers," he said. "Offensively, we have to run the football, period. We need to be better running the football. That's what I'm looking for from an offensive standpoint, and better with our protection."
From fans, Embree was asked about several aspects of the game, in addition to being asked about the well-being of his sons and family.
Defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe also attended the press conference, and he wound up with the quote of the day. A fan asked Uzo-Diribe if he is a skier or a snowboarder.
"I'm a sleeper," he said.

Two Boulder police officers were injured today after they were forced to Taser a man who was throwing things out his apartment window and smashing glass, according to officials.
Police received several calls about a man in the 1000 block of Adams Circle throwing items -- including a flat-screen TV, a table and a guitar -- out of his apartment window around 12:44 p.m. today, according to Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel.
Kobel said suspect, identified as Matthew Allen, 32, also was smashing out windows.
When police arrived on scene, the suspect met them in the doorway and began swinging a large metal cross at them. Officers fired their Tasers, but they did not stop the suspect, according to Kobel.
The officers eventually were able to control Allen. He was taken to Boulder Community Hospital with cuts on his hand from smashing the windows, according to Kobel. He was later released from the hospital after being stitched up and was arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault, resisitng arrest and criminal mischief.
Kobel said two officers also were taken to Boulder Community Hospital. Officer Nick Smetzer -- a 10-year veteran of the department -- suffered a hand injury and was released. Officer Nate Vasquez -- a 21-year veteran -- was hit in the head with the cross and is being held for further tests.
Allen's first court appearance is set for 2 p.m. today at the Boulder County Jail.

Twodel Pebbelz Da Model Arrested for Murder By Butt Injections..True Story (Photos)
Pebblez Da Model is your standard video vixen who has been linked to athletes, rappers and entertainers. What makes her "special" is here booty is disproportionately bigger than anything else on her body.
You can only get a booty like this through some sort of surgical procedure.
It appears though that Pebbelz has went Dr. Nick on the wrong person and may have been directly or indirectly involved in a murder by butt injections.
Global Grind has more on the story.
Natasha Stewart, 39, was questioned for the death of a Mississippi woman who was murdered by way of an injection of concrete into her buttocks. Stewart was charged with both homicide and fugitive from justice.
The friend she was with, 21-year-old Shannetria Newberry, was charged with aggravated assault, failure to appear on a felony case, bodily harm, and criminal forfeiture.
Why would anyone want to put concrete in their body is beyond me. Hopefully this will be a lesson to young women who believe they need a big booty to impress men. Is it really worth your life?
