The 10 hottest Mariners 'cubs,' according to the queen of 'cougars'
The Go 2 Guy asks Miss CougarLife Marlo Jordan for her top-10 list.
When I was in my Journalism 101 class at Washington State in the fall of 1975, I never thought I'd be interviewing Miss CougarLife in the summer of 2013.
I might have been daydreaming about Miss Nebraska or Miss Utah, or I might have been thinking about my future as a sportswriter and the fun I was about to have in the next 35 years.
I envisioned being a reputable journalist who oozed credibility. I would never lower myself to limbo-bar levels by pursuing stories that have no news value whatsoever.
Yet there I was in my parked Honda Ridgeline a week or so ago, calling Marlo Jordan in Sacramento. The Go 2 Pup was in the back seat looking at me like I was a fool.
Edward R. Murrow would've slapped me silly and shamed me and prevented me from making that call, but at the time, it seemed like the thing to do.
I had just read that CougarLife.com came out with a poll rating the hottest young players -- or "cubs" -- in Major League Baseball. And the website also recently crowned Jordan as Miss CougarLife.
I thought it would be interesting to talk to her and ask her if she could rate the hottest cubs on the Mariners, which she did. Check out the photo gallery above for her rankings (and for CougarLife.com's overall baseball-hunk rankings).
Jordan is certainly nice enough and plenty hot enough to be Miss Anything if she weren't Miss CougarLife. She's a nationally ranked fitness competitor, dating coach and 42-year-old mother of three.
I sheepishly started the interview by asking fundamental old-chick, young-guy questions.
Jordan says you typically reach "cougar" status at the age of 35. And to qualify as a cub, you must be five to seven years younger than the woman you're dating.
She entered a Miss CougarLife contest on the website that connects older women to younger guys and vice versa. The site has 4 million members.
Since winning, Jordan has appeared on radio shows across the country and was flown to Toronto for a photo shoot. She will also appear in a feature story in an Australian magazine and make a November appearance in "Extreme Cougar Life" on the TLC Network.
"More and more older women are with younger men than ever before," Jordan said.
I, of course, know this from personal experience. My mom is 83 and her husband, Dick, is 70. I always get a kick out of it at family functions when my 22-year-old daughter and 9-year-old sons are there.
"Hey, Mom!" I'll say, pointing to Brooke, Mikey and Stevie. "That's you at 22, and that's Dick at 9!"
She is never as amused by that as I am.
"The stigma is not bad anymore," Jordan said. "Hollywood helped to change that."
Jordan cited Demi Moore, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Sharon Stone and Mariah Carey among others who have either married cubs or dated them.
"I'm not looking to settle down with anyone 10 to 15 years younger than me," Jordan said. "But right now, a younger man is better for me. Most of them are not looking for a relationship.
"They're in their sexual prime, and I'm in my sexual prime. We're both looking for a good time. We're fulfilling each other's needs. There's no drama. And stamina ... there's that whole part of it as well.
"For me right now, it's just about the sex. I don't want anything else from them. When we're done, I'm like: 'Go home! Go back to your parents' house.'"
Jordan's sons are 25, 13 and 10 years old. I asked what crossed her mind when she was sleeping with a man younger than her oldest son.
"What crossed my mind?" she said, repeating the question. "That this is really good sex!"
Jordan's 25-year-old thinks his mom's infatuation with cubs is funny.
"He just shakes his head," Jordan said.
But the 13-year-old asks, "Why can't you just be a spokesperson for a normal dating site like eHarmony?"
Said Jordan: "He has a harder time with it."
I thought our conversation would be 20 minutes of my life I'd want back, but it wasn't. A therapist would have a field day with Jordan; I'm just a columnist who enjoyed my time with her.
Miss CougarLife is living her life and living it up at the same time.

Terastation Serial console
If opening the TeraStation did not void your warenty, this will. Opening it up probably won't void your warranty since the manual for the TeraStation gives detailed instructions on how to open it to replace a drive. Taking it totally apart may however as you're not supposed to remove the PCB.
It requires some soldering skills, so practice on a dead mainboard first.
If you add a serial console, it is your own decision and I'm not responsible for any damage. This are just tips on what to do, if you are not sure what I'm talking about, don't try it.
As we can see from the hardware page, the CPU offers two serial ports. The first one is used for the system console, but it's not accessable from outside the box. The second one is used to communicate with the XXX microcontroller.
But there actually is a serial port on the back of the box. Officially it is used to communicate with the UPS.
If we open the box, there is the serial port in lower back corner:
Close to it is a Sipex3220EE level shifter to convert the 5v (or 3.3v) TTL-levels to RS232.
If we look closely the three, actually four, pins of the level shifter are connected to middle pin of the three connectors: JP3 (TxD), JP4 (RxD), JP5 (Vcc).
In order to connect the system console we must first remove the three 0Ω resistor (R437, R440, R441) and move them to (R438, R439, R442). Instead of moving them, we could just remove them and add pin-heads/jumpers to allow simple switching.
In any case the Rx line from the CPU is still not connected. We also have to bridge R76 to connect it. Do not remove R75, it is a 10kΩ pull-down. If you remove it the input line to the CPU will float and feed random junk to it, not what you want.
If you add pin-heads/jumper you can use them to toggle from serial console (all jumpers to the left, as shown) and UPS support (the the right). Always put the jumpers all to the left or all to the right. If you don't you might kill the CPU.
J1 can be used to direclty access the serial console, but it uses 3.3v TTL levels and you need a seperate level shifter. I added some connectors, as I already had a proper level shifter from some oher embedded projects.
With all the jumpers to the left you can now connect your PC to the serial console using a cross over cable. Start your terminal program, configure the serial port to use 57600 8N1, aka:
- Speed: 57600
- Parity: none
- Data Bits: 8
- Stop Bits: 1
- no flow control
if you power on the, reassemblied, terastation you can see the boot messages.
The crucial information came from TeraStation �?��?��?��?� - シリアルコンソール�?� SSH.

For the Class of 2012, "He is Enough"
One member of the Columbia International University class of 2012 summarizes her four years at CIU in three words: He is enough.
In the CIU student blog "Life As We Know It" Abbey LeRoy, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in Bible Teaching, wrote:
"The past four years have been full of excitement, adventures, and learning. But there have also been disappointments, challenges, and frustration. Having said that, I can summarize my college years – the good and the bad – in three little words
He is enough."
That was also the message of CIU's May 2012 commencement speaker Crawford Loritts. Loritts is an evangelist and author, who also serves as senior pastor of the 2,000-member Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Ga. Loritts addressed first the commencement for CIU seminary and graduate students on May 12, and a couple hours later spoke at a separate commencement for CIU undergraduate students.
At both commencements, his message centered on Colossians 1:9
For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding
Loritts warned the graduates not to have a "Pollyanna" view of the Christian life that says if you are in God's will you will never have problems.
"The will of God will lead you to some very dark and lonely places," Loritts told the graduates. "The will of God will have you face tragedy in your life. The will of God will have you face disappointment in your life. So that God will prove himself to be all that you need."
Loritts also testified from personal experience that God is sufficient.
"God will give you every single thing you need, if you're submitted to His plan," Loritts said. "In over 40 years of ministry, God has never ever failed me."
CIU President Dr. Bill Jones conferred degrees on 245 undergraduate, graduate and seminary students.
At the Undergraduate ceremony, CIU honored Mrs. Eleanor "Jo" Cook, co-founder of one of the largest pest control companies in the United States, with the Doctor of Humane Letters Degree. In 1950, Mrs. Cook partnered with her late husband John R. Cook to found Cook's Pest Control in Decatur, Ala. The company has been the recipient of various national awards, including the Better Business Bureau award for Business Ethics and the National Pest Management Association's Pinnacle Award. The Pinnacle award is given to a highly select group of companies that meet the highest standard for exemplary practices.
The Cooks have also organized and funded ministries and events in their community, including Campus Crusade for Christ training sessions and youth-oriented programs.
Speaking about the sufficiency of God in her life, Mrs. Cook told the graduates to enjoy the "exhilarating adventure of living out God's plan for you as you help people know, love and obey Jesus Christ."

Brewster Kahle has the gleeful air of a man who has just found something wonderful and wants to tell his friends all about it. And his friends are the 2 billion people, and counting, who are on the Internet every day.
What he has found -- or more accurately, crafted -- are the means and the mechanisms to preserve the human record, the whole human record, in its many media, so other humans can get to it with a tap or a mouse click, on www.internetarchive.org and www.openlibrary.org.
For a geek who made his fortune in cutting-edge search engines, Kahle sure does love books and print. He taught his kids geometry out of a 19th century volume of
Thanks to Kahle's Wayback Machine -- a search engine named in homage to a cartoon on "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" -- you can follow the history of vanished Web pages. At the archive's website, download a book that's in the public domain or borrow one -- electronically -- that's not.
Kahle's home base is a onetime Christian Science church in San Francisco. Where the week's hymn numbers were once posted, there are now two canonical tech-world numbers: the golden ratio, and pi. Everybody sing!
You love libraries, Web pages, pretty much all forms of information, but you worry about preserving it all.
What happens to libraries is that they burn. And they get burned by governments. The
So let's design for it. If the folks at the [ancient] Library of Alexandria had made a copy and put it in China or India, we would have the works of Aristotle, the other plays by
Wouldn't it be great if you could put all the published works online? The Internet Archive is trying to become useful as a modern-day digital library. We're trying with [today's] Library of Alexandria [among others].
The Alexandria, in Egypt, right?
Yes. They have this gorgeous building; you walk in, turn to your right and [there is] the running Internet Archive. They're scanning their books for it. We have [such] agreements with five or six [libraries] around the world.
Let's not have the Library of Alexandria, version two, burn this time. [Let's be prepared for] when Iron Curtains go up or down, when governments say, "We're not really interested in this library thing anymore."
The Internet Archive started [by] collecting all the Web pages, a copy of every page from every website every two months. We collected, collected, collected. Then we made the Wayback Machine.
Then we started collecting television — 20 channels worldwide since the year 2000, mostly news.
The book collection — we're digitizing 1,000 books every day [in] 29 scanning centers in six countries. There's a room in the Library of Congress and they keep bringing us maybe 100 or 200 books a day [to scan].
We get a couple of million people a day to see these collections.
One of the ways your collection of current books differs from
We started by scanning public domain books and now have about 2 million available [to download] free. [We get books] from around 500 great libraries. The California state library participates. The libraries, or some foundation, [pay] to have them scanned. The national library of
It costs 10 cents a page; about $30 a book. We can do it all in about one hour.
But we wanted to get more modern books [too], so we came up with the lending library system at openlibrary.org.
[He pulls up the site on his laptop and demonstrates.] "Mr. Popper's Penguins" -- it probably has some rights issues, so I can take this book for two weeks. Anyone else who wants to borrow it, they'll have to wait until I return it. OK, so now I'm going to return the book -- ta da!
How do writers get paid? And will all libraries be online affairs?
All this is in transition. We're starting to see a few companies really suck the air out of the room [with] central points of control: Google, Apple,
We see libraries [online], buying ebooks as they buy books today: Buy them and lend them out. [Some] publishers are not selling ebooks to libraries, but if the $3 billion to $4 billion that libraries currently spend on publishers' products [still goes] to publishers and authors, then there is a future for all concerned.
Slate called you an evangelical librarian. Do librarians like you?
Yes; we're doing things they wish they could be doing.
You sound like a liberal arts major!
Nah, I just read all these books. My background really comes from geekdom and the idea of building a smart machine. If we're going to build a smart machine, let's have it read good books.
So when you went to the library as a kid, you thought, we can do better than this?
Oh yeah -- [the library] is all romantic, but it's super-slow. Answering questions in a physical library with books -- that's the sort of thing we expect to do like that [he snaps his fingers] on the Net now.
The problem is the Net doesn't have [enough of] the good stuff yet. It's shallow. The way most people are learning these days is through screens, so let's make sure they have as good a [screen] library as [the kind] we grew up with.
My kids are 14 and 17; the books of the 20th century are not at the fingertips of my children, and the 20th century was pretty impactful. If we don't [change] that, we're going to end up with a generation that's going to learn only [from] corporate stuff or
I read you have 40 billion Web pages from 50 million websites. Do you lie awake at night and think there are millions more being created at this very moment, how do we catch up?
Yes, absolutely. And the Web is changing. It's more difficult to [keep up], but that's our challenge.
With the early websites from the 1990s, a lot of [things] didn't work out but at least we have copies of them. And next time, let's go back and make sure our technology can support those dreams better.
What's [the Web] going to become? I'm hoping [it] isn't just the next glorified television.
You do ephemera like seed catalogs and political brochures too?
A lot of ephemera, old computer magazines, people love that stuff.
And you've got a "book ark."
We don't want to destroy the books we're scanning. We love books! So we said let's get good at storing books. Libraries spend a lot of money storing books. We [do it for about] one-tenth of what libraries spend.
We do it much more densely. We put them in boxes, then on pallets, then in modified shipping containers. We know where everything is. It's not meant to be a circulating library. It's collection-oriented.
If you're wondering [if] "1984" by George Orwell has been changed [in a new edition], can we check the original? We're a place to do that. It's the original testimony of the artifact. Is this level of protection the ultimate? I don't know. But it's another shot at it.
Do you read on a
No, I like books.
How close are you to getting it all digitized?
When we started, we were thought of as crazy; it was impossible. Or if you could do it, you wouldn't want to. We don't hear that anymore. People are saying, glad you're there; I've used it; it's helped me out. So in 15 years -- somewhat because of us doing it and showing it's valuable — we'll use the Net as the library. By being a library, we're able to remember and live a civic role that existed before the Internet.

The weather impacts every aspect of life whether it be human, animal, or plant-life. Long-term weather, or climate, forces humans and all other life forms to continuously adapt in order to survive most efficiently within the climate type of a given region. On a geological time scale of thousands or millions of years, the earth has experienced much warmer and much cooler climates than those today. Humans, however, are influenced by climate changes occurring over much shorter time scales. Most are familiar with the term, El Nińo, which is the name given to the two to five year change in climate associated with abnormally warm equatorial Pacific Ocean sea-surface temperatures. During an El Nińo period, news stories abound about how this phenomena has caused global havoc such as floods, droughts, severe hot and cold, etc.
During the years 600-1850, Europe experienced climate changes that were far-reaching - every aspect of life in Europe was influenced including, among others, exploration, agriculture, health, deaths, economics, and art and literature. In particular, the rise and fall of the Viking civilization in Greenland and Iceland is directly linked to climate changes.
Note to general public:
My position on the current global warming is the same as the overwhelming majority of international climate scientists: the current rate of global warming is unprecedented and is being caused by humans. In no way can my summary of the research regarding the impact of regional climate change on the Viking civilization and Europe during the Little Ice Age be used to "prove" the current global warming is due to a natural cycle. Today's global climate is significantly warmer than that of the regional warmth of the Medieval Warm Period.
I highly recommend that you read the information being presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) at http://www.ipcc.ch/. Please view Global Warming: Man or Myth which addresses many of the questions asked about the human impact on the current climate change in a very simple format. The climate change being observed today is unprecedented in modern times and can only be explained by the rapid increase of greenhouse gases by human activities. There are no known natural forces that could have caused the modern climate change.

Should have known something like this might come when Scott Weiland announced earlier this month that he's embarking on a solo tour and performing STP material for the first time on his own.
So this terse, inadvertently ominous statement from the band is hardly shocking: "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland."
There had to have been a better way to phrase that. Makes it sound like they took him out CIA-sniper style.
It would seem that Weiland's decision to hit the road spotlighting stuff from the first two STP albums, Core (1992) and Purple (1994), is what has caused the rift, not a lack of sobriety or erratic behavior, although given the 45-year-old's track record those reasons can never be ruled out.
He apparently broached the idea of a similar tour with the band, but the DeLeo brothers, Dean and Robert, and drummer Eric Kretz weren't interested. His plan to revive such songs on his own, with backing from his group the Wildabouts, may have been another nail in a routinely reopened coffin.
Weiland has responsed with his own statement: "I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press. Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday."
That outing has no local dates so far, just launching gigs in Michigan, followed by performances on the East Coast and through the Midwest, reaching Texas late next month.
STP appeared to have gotten back on track in 2008, when it reformed after a five-year hiatus, during which time Weiland fronted the supergroup Velvet Revolver, also featuring Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum of Guns N' Roses.
After a brief break so the singer could promote his second solo album,"Happy" in Galoshes, the band hit the road hard and eventually issued its first work in nearly a decade, a self-titled effort in 2010. They last performed in Orange County in September, co-headlining the Epicenter festival at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine.
Weiland as a solo act was last seen locally delivering a holiday show (behind his pretty lousy 2011 release The Most Wonderful Time of the Year) at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana shortly before it was transformed into the Observatory. It was so abysmal and unfocused that onlookers wondered if he had once again fallen off the wagon.

In "Cook"
Our best egg recipes were concocted for breakfast and brunch in kitchens around the world for our Weekend Eggs series. As Easter is ending, we still have eggs on our minds, and the breakfast for dinner trend isn't going anywhere, I thought it time to re-present our best egg recipes…
April 3, 2018
This is my favourite breakfast dish ever — huevos con chorizo. My Huevos con Chorizo (Scrambled Eggs with Chorizo) recipe deviates from the classic Mexican one. Choosing this fortnight's edition of Weekend Eggs from Jerez was difficult. I wanted to make huevos a la Flamenca, a baked egg dish with…

Nice job on the video. Can you believe I've never tried Huevos Rancheros? You're inspiring me to give it a whirl…
Thanks! Just don't overcook those eggs, you want the yolk to mix with the salsa
I can testify these huevos taste as good as they look! And Terry's technique for poaching eggs will not be forgotten!
Aren't you sweet! And a very good assistant in the kitchen. Yes, I know I owe you recipes…coming soon
Dude ! SERIOUSLY. I love your video!!!! We should have played with the video cam together. This is an absolute must when we meet again. OWN here we come. Soon.

The "What's In Your Makeup Bag" Blog Hop
These are my daily must-haves that go with me EVERYWHERE.
1. eos every day hand lotion. I have them in both the regular and cucumber scent. LOVE THESE. The packaging is adorable and small enough to fit in your purse or even your pocket, if needed. It smells great - the regular is mildly scented enough that it doesn't interfere with any perfume I am wearing at the time, and the cucumber just has that mild fresh scent to it. I love that they have no parabens, as well.
2. CO Bigelow Lemon Lip Balm. This is one of my favorite lip balms of all! I love the smooth texture and the bright lemony taste and smell. It keeps my lips soft, and I love that it has no petroleum.
3. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hr Eyeshadow in Bold Gold. I'm an eyeshadow fiend, it is my favorite makeup. This is a great one! When I don't have time/the desire to put much effort into my makeup, I can just slick a bit of this on for a little shimmer on my lids, or I can build it up to a more opaque gold. It's so pretty and it goes with everything. It can even be used as a base. I love the cream formula, it's perfect to take along with me because it's so easy to sweep a little on with my finger when needed.
4. tarte LipSurgence natural matte lip tint in Lucky. Oh, how I love this! I got this product in my March Birchbox and fell in love with it. I love the light pink, it looks natural on my lips and it lasts a long time. Love the minty smell and flavor and the matte finish is different from my usual glosses and balms, and it's great for when I want a little low maintenance color on my lips.
5. pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Black. I love this liner. It's a pencil, but it goes on so smooth and dark it reminds me of a liquid. It's seriously no-budge, I wear it on my waterline and it stays all day and does not move until I remove it. I like the small size, and that it's paraben and preservative free. There are several other colors to choose from, as well.
6. Covergirl LashBlast volume mascara in black brown. This is my favorite everyday mascara - it makes my lashes thicker, fuller, and longer without looking fake or clumping. It's cheap and outperforms most of the more expensive mascaras I've tried for a natural look.

I think it's such a cute little bag! I switch the makeup bag I keep in my purse/messenger bag all the time because they tend to get so grimy.
Listed is just what I carry every day...I have a full arsenal that I take to work with me, including shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, deodorant, and soap. LOL.

Crane contacts power lines in Charlotte, catches fire
Crane contacts power lines in Charlotte, catches fire
A person wasn't seriously hurt Friday morning after a crane caught on fire when it somehow came into contact with live power lines.
The electricity truck caught fire around 11 a.m. in the SouthPark area of south Charlotte, WCNC reported.
A person was hurt but didn't need to be taken to the hospital, Charlotte fire officials said.
It's not yet known what caused the crane to contact the power lines. About 2,000 electric customers lost power for a few hours.

When it comes to sexy redheads with curves, Carmen Capri is where it's at. This natural beauty showed up to Monster Curves to show off her hour glass figure. It was all that and a bag of chips. Right when we saw her come in with her skin-tight, pink dress, we knew this was going to be a great episode. Carmen was asked of course about her legendary white girl booty and didn't even hesitate to lift her dress up to give us a look. That ass was perfection: big, round and juicy. She also had some great natural tits and did a super sexy striptease that left us begging for more. About that time, Mirko came in. He was more than ready to get started.

First thing he did was play with that pussy. That got Carmen really hot and wet, and she wanted that dick bad. When Mirko whipped it out, Carmen put that dick right between her tits and jumped up and down in a wild titty-fuck. Then she sucked on that cock like a champ and took it all the way down her throat. By then Mirko was so fired up that he just went wild on Carmen. He pounded that pussy all over the couch, as those sexy curves bounced up and down and all over. After she got hers, it was finally Mirko's turn. Carmen jerked him off, and he shot every last drop all over her pretty face.

Ocey, who was found dead in an East Orange, New Jersey, bathtub in November 1909, drugged and emaciated, was at the center of scandalous murder case involving her mentally unbalanced mother and a spinster aunt who starved herself to death while awaiting trial. Along with a third sister they were thought to have conspired to drug and starve Ocey to collect $32,000 in insurance money. Ocey had two children, one of whom died in infancy. (Coverage in the New York Times noted the discovery of small bones in the furnace at a building where Ocey lived -- a Brooklyn tenement dubbed "house of mystery" and "baby farm" by the neighbors.) One part of the mystery is how two photographs of Ocey, very much alive, ended up in Bain News Service collection of glass negatives at the Library of Congress. (The other photo is dated 12-21-07). Are they are family photos obtained in the course of covering the trial of the sisters? Or is there some reason GGB would have photographed Ocey well before she died? (Cue organ music.)

John Nichols and Robert W. McChesney were the founders, with Josh Silver, of Free Press, which has launched a campaign to save the news. Their book, Saving Journalism: The Soul of Democracy, will be published by New Press in the fall.
Communities across America are suffering through a crisis that could leave a dramatically diminished version of democracy in its wake. It is not the economic meltdown, although the crisis is related to the broader day of reckoning that appears to have arrived. The crisis of which we speak involves more than mere economics. Journalism is collapsing, and with it comes the most serious threat in our lifetimes to self-government and the rule of law as it has been understood here in the United States.
After years of neglecting signs of trouble, elite opinion-makers have begun in recent months to recognize that things have gone horribly awry. Journals ranging from Time, The New Yorker, The Atlantic and The New Republic to the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times concur on the diagnosis: newspapers, as we have known them, are disintegrating and are possibly on the verge of extinction. Time's Walter Isaacson describes the situation as having "reached meltdown proportions" and concludes, "It is now possible to contemplate a time in the near future when major towns will no longer have a newspaper and when magazines and network news operations will employ no more than a handful of reporters." A newspaper industry that still employs roughly 50,000 journalists–the vast majority of the remaining practitioners of the craft–is teetering on the brink.
Blame has been laid first and foremost on the Internet, for luring away advertisers and readers, and on the economic meltdown, which has demolished revenues and hammered debt-laden media firms. But for all the ink spilled addressing the dire circumstance of the ink-stained wretch, the understanding of what we can do about the crisis has been woefully inadequate. Unless we rethink alternatives and reforms, the media will continue to flail until journalism is all but extinguished.
Let's begin with the crisis. In a nutshell, media corporations, after running journalism into the ground, have determined that news gathering and reporting are not profit-making propositions. So they're jumping ship. The country's great regional dailies–the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Philadelphia Inquirer–are in bankruptcy. Denver's Rocky Mountain News recently closed down, ending daily newspaper competition in that city. The owners of the San Francisco Chronicle, reportedly losing $1 million a week, are threatening to shutter the paper, leaving a major city without a major daily newspaper. Big dailies in Seattle (the Times), Chicago (the Sun-Times) and Newark (the Star-Ledger) are reportedly near the point of folding, and smaller dailies like the Baltimore Examiner have already closed. The 101-year-old Christian Science Monitor, in recent years an essential source of international news and analysis, is folding its daily print edition. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is scuttling its print edition and downsizing from a news staff of 165 to about twenty for its online-only incarnation. Whole newspaper chains–such as Lee Enterprises, the owner of large and medium-size publications that for decades have defined debates in Montana, Iowa and Wisconsin–are struggling as the value of stock shares falls below the price of a single daily paper. And the New York Times needed an emergency injection of hundreds of millions of dollars by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim in order to stay afloat.

What's Really Going On?
It's been weighing heavy on my mind all day, so I figure I might as well just let it out. I want to make it clear that I am all for player safety. I don't disagree with all of the rule changes.
But come on…REALLY? Now you have to wait until a guy catches, or even worse, you have to let them catch the ball before you can even attempt to tackle him. Along with that, you cannot let any part of your helmet or facemask touch any part of them basically from the chest up. If you are following the letter of the rules exactly, now most tackles, if not ALL tackles can be flagged, fined and/or result in ejection from that game, or future game(s).
I understand the intent behind making the rules, but in their attempt to make the game safer, they are actually clouding what is allowable. Even the referees are confused. A close look will show you that the referees were calling things that were not even supposed to be called, and NOT calling things that were actually illegal.
The decision to call a penalty or impose a fine is seemingly, at least some of the time, dependent upon the uniform and the player. After my meeting this past fall with Roger Goodell, Ray Anderson, and Merton Hanks and some others, who I now have absolutely no respect for (to keep it PG), I definitely believe there is no equality in their enforcement of these rules.
These rules are targeting hard hitting players and defenses i.e. STEELERS. I guess the NFL needed a poster child for their campaign.
The quarterback rule clarification (Rule 12, Section 2, Article 13) is a great change. But that's just saying "Hey Steelers..by the way…Ben's nose getting broken last year really did not deserve a penalty."
I know there are hits out there that could go either way, but if it's me I already know which way they are going to go. I love this game, but I hate what they are trying to turn it into.
I wonder why the NFL is suddenly coming down so hard on player's safety issues. I can't help but think it's not actually for the safety of the players.

A Vision of a Downtown Arts Campus
Officials at the University of Missouri-Kansas City recently announced their intention to relocate many of their fine arts efforts to downtown. Planners envision an urban ecosystem of cafes, restaurants, bookstores, and shops — as well as private studios and recital rooms, additional housing and even small hotels.
A panel of arts experts – among them Jacqueline Chanda, president of the Kansas City Art Institute, and Peter Witte, dean of the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance discuss the possibilities and challenges of a downtown arts campus. The panel will be moderated by Mike Burke, chairman of the mayor's Task Force on the Arts.

Musical performances from Pitbull, Wynonna, PSY and Jessica Sanchez
After 10 weeks of entertaining, stylized dancing from Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff, Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough, Alexandra Raisman and Mark Ballas and Zendaya and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, only one couple will be crowned "Dancing with the Stars" champions. These four remaining couples will have one last opportunity to impress the judges and viewers on Monday, May 20, concluding with the season finale, Tuesday, May 21, on the ABC Television Network.
In the final two-hour performance show on Monday, May 20 (8-10:01 p.m.), the remaining couples will compete in three rounds of dance. In the first round, each couple will take on a new routine in a dance style that the judges would like to see again. In round two, the couples will be challenged to a Cha Cha relay, where each pair dances to a different section of the same song. In the last round - and one of the biggest competitive dances of the season - the couples take on a supersized freestyle featuring special effects, additional dancers and unexpected surprises.
In the two-hour season finale on Tuesday, May 21 (9 p.m.), the entire celebrity cast returns, including Any Dick, Dorothy Hamill, D.L. Hughley, Wynonna Judd, Victor Ortiz, Ingo Rademacher, Sean Lowe and Lisa Vanderpump. The returning stars will perform a show-stopping opening number with the pro and troupe dancers. The show will feature music from Pitbull, who will perform his new single, "Hands Up," and Wynonna will sing "I Want to Know What Love Is."
In addition, PSY will take to the stage with his latest hit, "Gentleman," and Jessica Sanchez will sing her version of Pitbull's "Feel This Moment."
The fourth-place couple will be eliminated within the first hour of the show, and in a final element of the competition, the three remaining couples will perform a new routine in an "Instant Dance"- where they will tackle a style they know, but to music given to them for the first time live on television. This routine will be scored out of 30 and will round out the judges' scores across both nights.

Throughout Sonoma County homes and streets are graced by many different species of trees. City streets and homes are shaded by large London planes and decorated with crape myrtle and beautiful fruit trees. Now that "drought" is officially accepted in California, what will happen to the trees if we stop watering? What are the best trees to plant for drought conditions? How can we best manage trees in the landscape and orchard?
When I am asked these questions, as a Certified Arborist* I consider the kind of tree (species), the soil and root conditions, and location.
Trees naturally store water. They retain water in all the cells of their structures: roots, trunk, branches and leaves. In dry periods trees reveal many survival mechanisms. The baobab tree in Africa has almost no branches and a trunk that swells and stores water. Some trees such as the California buckeye drop their leaves when soils become dry.
Water requirements for trees vary by the species, dependent on where the specific tree evolved. The tree's requirements do not change when the tree is transported out of its area and planted in a different climate. Trees that originated on the east coast of the United States where the water comes from the sky in the summer, like red maple, still need water in the summer in Sonoma County. Trees that originated in the desert like acacia and African sumac naturally require less water. Other trees evolving in the Mediterranean basin, such as olive trees, require little or no water.
A curious fact is that coast redwood trees harvest water from fog. In their natural habitat, fog supplies one third of their water.
Roots of trees are roughly divided into surface "feeder" roots and tap roots that penetrate deeply into the earth. Roots grow horizontally out beyond the "drip line," the imaginary line descending from the edge of the leaf canopy. Trees planted in sidewalk strips grow their roots under the sidewalk and into the garden.
California natives that do well in the summer, like coast live oak, are able to survive because they have deep tap roots. In the summer, their surface roots become dormant and they depend on their deep roots.
While some California natives are adapted to summer dry conditions by going dormant in extended dry weather, other California natives need water. Trees such as sycamore and poplar naturally grow near streams and lakes where the roots are in wet soil.
Water lies close to the surface in parts of Sonoma County. Parts of the valleys were originally marshlands. Hills surrounding the valleys are watersheds for streams and rivers. Trees in Petaluma and Santa Rosa might have their roots in water either from streams or from a water table not far beneath the surface.
Trees are part of an ecosystem; they provide living creatures with many benefits. They cool our streets and houses. They provide food and shelter for animals and insects as well as an environment for life in the soil. When it does rain, leaves and branches reduce the force of the water and allow it to infiltrate gradually into the soil, reducing runoff and erosion, and recharging the water table.
To water wisely and save trees while conserving water during dry periods, consider their species, soil conditions and location.
Tree wise; water wise; earth wise!

Creating a multiple column pages is so much easier now with HTML5 and CSS3 than was previously possible. Consider if you have a page with 200 unordered lists. The HTML markup for this would be something similar to this:
Unordered List

1

2
 and so on….
200

As you've noticed, I've abbreviated the markup. The page rendered will be long. It will take some scrolling down to get to the bottom of the page. The obvious solution for this page layout is to display the data in multiple columns.
Displaying two to three columns is ideal. You can add more if you like. It really depends on how you want to layout your page. How do we add multiple columns on our pages? It's quite easy. You'll be surprised how simple it is.
First, let's add a class div to our markup. In this example, we will call our div "data." Our markup will now look like the example below. It's relatively unchanged, except for the div we've just added.
HTML5 Markup

1

2
 and so on….
200

CSS3 Markup
The magic is really in CSS. It's ideal to place a width in your class div, unless your class div is already inside another div that already has a width limit. We can then set a limit how wide we want our columns widths and column gaps.
I'm using a div with a width of 500px because it goes well with the 150px columns widths and 25px column gaps. You probably already guessed, the column widths are how wide the columns are, and the gaps are the spaces between column widths.
.data { width:500px; -moz-column-width:150px; -webkit-column-width:150px ; -moz-column-gap: 25px; -webkit-column-gap: 25px; }
Give It A Try
Give it a try. Adding multiple columns in HTML5 and CSS3 is much easier than was previously thought. Create a simple page with some sample data. Add a class div and use the CSS3 multiple column styles to it.
The code has been tested with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple's Safari. I haven't tested it with any Internet Explorer. I'll be curious if it works with IE 7, 8 or 9.
Here's a demo of a page using the multiple columns.

- Ideal for children 10 & up

- High energy level
- Lives up to 3 years
The Chinese Dwarf Hamster is about 4-5 inches long with silky gray-brown fur and a black stripe down its back. Some people mistake these hamsters for mice because they have a longer tail than other hamsters. Their long tail makes them great jumpers and climbers in comparison to other hamsters.
These hamsters are much like other hamster species and have similar care. Their friendly nature and ability to become a true member of the family have made them one of the most popular small pets. They can learn to enjoy human interaction, but they're not crazy about other hamsters, so only one hamster per habitat. They like to run and play at night and sleep during the day, so they may be active and noisy after dark.
Things to remember
Easily startled
Be careful, if she gets scared, she may bite. Take extra care when awakening her.
Lifting & handling
Handle your hamster gently -- scoop her up in both hands and hold her with cupped hands so she'll feel safe and secure.
Special needs
Your hamster's front teeth never stop growing -- so she needs lots of healthy things to chew on like treats and chew sticks.
Hamsters have tons of energy and need to run on a wheel in their habitat, or in an exercise ball every day.
Choose a fortified diet appropriate for hamsters.

Holy cow, this body art is insane. We're not sure whether to applaud or run for our lives from this creepy zombie propeller-head being.
We love it when body art is more than just an excuse for the public to stare at a naked human being. Artist Yolanda Bartram is leagues above the old painted-on bikinis. Not only was she just awarded first prize at the 2010 World Body Painting Festival, but I think this creation up top will haunt our dreams for decades. Well done.
According to Auckland Stuff the "Armageddon Day" piece took seven hours to complete. The idea took inspiration from World War II planes, wartime paraphernalia, and rockets. We've never seen a half human/half vintage plane before, but if we did we bet it would look like this.

I have written before about running Windows Forms GUI tests on a compiled application exe here.
And i must say that it works GREAT!
I had a few problems of which the most annoying was the Drag and Drop functionality. If you have it enabled with AllowDrop = true
on your controls or any other 3rd party controls the moment your control gets loaded you will get this error:
System.InvalidOperationException: DragDrop registration did not succeed. --->
System.Threading.ThreadStateException: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode
before OLE calls can be made.
Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it.
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.SetAcceptDrops(Boolean accept)
So what to do? At first i disabled all DragDrop in my app so i can start writing test, but this was a hack.
The problem is because my app was running under Single-Threaded Apartment (STA) and NUnit framwork runs under Multithreaded Apartment (MTA)
I asked on the SourceForge NunitForms Help Forums and a fellow named Steve Clark pointed me in the right direction.
NUnit has a configuration section where you can define the apartment model you wish to run it in.
This is a simple config file of the startup project for NUnitForms test running with the STA fix:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sectionGroup name="NUnit">
<section name="TestRunner" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
<!-- Valid values are STA,MTA. Others ignored. -->
<add key="ApartmentState" value="STA" />
<!-- See ThreadPriority enum for other valid values -->
<add key="ThreadPriority" value="Normal" />
Hope this helps.

It never ceases to surprise me how the most valuable insights and solutions surface from some of the
most unexpected places. That snowy Tuesday morning when I met them was no exception.
It was shortly after 8:00 am when they gathered together. Nonchalantly, they filed into the small
room. It was a lackluster morning - there was nothing particularly exciting or unusual about to occur.
The only thing out of the ordinary was the fact I was present to observe and interact with them.
Otherwise it was simply a typical Tuesday morning.
Within a few minutes the last member of the group arrived. My presence didn't seem to affect them at
all. Ready and willing to commence, they picked up their tools and nodded.
I'm certain they didn't understand the magnitude and the importance of what they were really doing
that morning. Before me was a simple yet elegant approach for addressing one of the most frightening
problems our society will ever face - school violence.
Actually they weren't government consultants, behavioral experts or medical professionals. Only one
of them was a grown-up. The rest were 5th and 6th graders at Saegertown Elementary School. Their
tools were basic instruments that had been in the school system for years. Their mentor was Jason
Ashbaugh, a dedicated and charismatic music teacher.
And as he lifted his hands, a group transformation was immediately apparent. The room seemed to
suddenly change as well. It was filled with smiles, delight and determination. It was as if the
teacher literally turned on a switch. As their hands connected with those colorful Remo
floor-standing hand drums, intricate rhythms flooded the corridors of the elementary school which had
now been transformed into an arena of jubilant creative expression. In seconds they were synergy in
motion - a symphony of individuality and appreciation for one another.
Their rhythms were upbeat and lively. Their focus was intent yet relaxed. Their sense of pride was
obvious. And their music was no less than fascinating.
Through eye contact, expressive nods and rhythmic nuances, the group gelled on many levels. Few words
were spoken, yet communication through self and group expression told a powerful story about our
greatest human potential to work together in harmony.
As quickly as the session began, it came to a close - thirty-minutes seemed to pass in just a few
heartbeats. As hands lifted from instruments, each child took a deep sigh and nodded at their
teacher. His gentle smile and warm expression conveyed a simple yet apparent affirmation of pride
each child immediately recognized. As sighs turned to smiles, success reverberated throughout the
Then I had the chance to speak with them. Each question revealed more than I expected. The following
7 insights emerged:
As I drove back to my office that snowy morning, images of the children, their music and their teacher
(truly an "unsung hero" pardon the pun) warmed my soul. It wasn't the activity that moved me as much
as their lessons for all of us.
Jason Ashbaugh, an elementary school music teacher in western Pennsylvania, shows us that combining
one's love for children with opportunities for recreational music-making builds bridges on solid
foundations of camaraderie, caring, nurturing and creative expression. I refer to their activity as
"recreational" but not for an obvious reason. According to Merriam Webster, it is derived from the
word, "recreatio," which actually means "restoration to health."
If every child in our nation began each day with an interactive program that taught tolerance, respect
and appreciation for one another, perhaps Columbine would have been no more than an ordinary town in
Colorado. Isn't it time we worked together to preserve and restore the health of our nation's
While you might be convinced that recreational music-making cannot be fit into every child's schedule,
I beg to differ. For Jason's group doesn't meet on occasion. Drumming together is available every

Therapy dogs — even stuffed animal dogs — can do wonders for hospitalized children.
Pediatric patients in the playroom were instantly cheered this week when UC Davis veterinary medicine students visited, bringing stuffed dogs to patients and providing quick tips on how to care for them.
The visit is an annual playroom event, hosted by the Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Department and UC Davis Veterinary Medicine. The visit is based on the Josh and Friends Project, which helps transform anxious hospital stays for children into friendship-filled adventures to wellness.
Vet med students fundraise during the year to raise money to purchase stuffed dogs for Children's Hospital patients.
"Our students have a passion for bringing healing to the lives of individuals, not just the four-legged kind, in our community. With this in mind, the goal of Josh Day is simple. We strive to bring hope and encouragement to the children and families of our community experiencing a medical difficulty," said Diana Donckels, UC Davis veterinary club president.
