Cattle will start rolling into World Dairy Expo today. And, as they arrive on the grounds, all trailers must go through the Rimrock Road gate and stop by the Arena Building to not only receive stalling locations, but present the health and registration papers for all animals on the trailer. If everything checks out, the check-in team will escort cattle to stalling locations. The new check-in process will lead to better biosecurity measures for all cattle on the grounds.
Since cattle arrive around the clock, there will be check-in teams at the Arena Building around the clock. That team will consist of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) veterinarians and World Dairy Expo approved staff. Part of that staff will be a team of 27 first-, second-, and third-year veterinary students from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. They received hands on training from Mark Clarke, general manager of World Dairy Expo, Bob Kaiser, head dairy cattle superintendent, and DATCP officials earlier this month. Veterinary students helping with check-in are eligible for a one-credit UW course "World Dairy Expo Biosecurity," reports Dr. Sheila McGuirk who is an instructor with the school and long-time volunteer at World Dairy Expo. As part of the process, students are learning to inspect various state Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI's), cross-tabbing animal identification records, and doing some in-depth tuberculosis work. Each student is required to do two, eight-hour shifts.
While at World Dairy Expo, be sure to stop by the National Dairy Shrine booth. As part of this year's fundraiser, National Dairy Shrine will be holding a silent auction featuring the last remaining "Foster Mothers of the Human Race" giclee created to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Hoard's Dairyman. It is a framed giclee numbered 5 of 125 and is the lowest publicly available giclee. And, as we mentioned, all the other giclees sold out in less than 90 days. So bid last for this priceless keepsake.

Two nights ago, way after dark, I was on my front porch in my pajamas taking down my Halloween flag.
Not real wise, especially when my motion light came on and scared me, but I had to get that pumpkin down.
I didn�t get it up until October 29, and I hated to take it down so soon.
But there was another flag � a much more important flag � one that I wanted to put out before the week ended.
There have been times in my life that I didn�t think too much about the importance of November 11, one way or the other, but not now.
My parents always called it Armistice Day, which was correct, marking the end of World War I. But it was changed in 1954 to Veterans Day, to honor all veterans.
Perhaps to many it�s just another marked holiday on the calendar, and no mail running.
Most businesses don�t take time off for November 11, but Uncle Sam does. And the banks do.
Actually, I wonder how they decide if a particular day is important enough to call it a holiday?
But that being said, November 11 has become important to me and to my family.
There were three brothers in our household when I was growing up. There was Sonny, Reid and Lynn. All three of them served their time in the U.S. Army.
My Tom served his military time in the U.S. Navy, as did our son Andy. Our grandson Drew was a four-year U.S. Marine.
I�ve noticed that almost without fail, when I am typing in obituaries here at the Times-News, if someone served in the military, it is a proud time for them and for their families.
And it is almost always mentioned in the final tribute to the deceased.
That portion in the lives of those who served is very important � to be remembered, to be proud of, to be told when the words of their lives are written.
There are quite a lot of things that I should remember as I go about day to day.
Things like my Social Security number and where I put my winter coat, and how in the world to set my clocks back after Daylight Savings Time.
But no, these things often escape me.
But I do remember a little song I learned in the first grade, about our flag.
Truth to tell, I believe it was the very first song I ever learned in Mrs. Graham�s room at Glencoe School.
Let me share it with you.
�Dear flag of our America,
How proud we are of you.
It makes us brave
To see you wave
In folds red, white and blue.�
Simple words but what they stand for means a lot to me, and I�m sure to many others.
Can you see why I was most anxious to get the pumpkin down off our flagpole and to get the Stars and Stripes up for all to see before Sunday?
I offer a salute to our veterans, those who have served and those still serving our country, and to the flag they served under.
We proudly recognize all of you on this special day, Nov. 11, 2012.
God bless you.

Beebe's proposal received a significant boost last week when leaders of the Republican-controlled Legislature expressed support for Big River Steel's plan to construct a $1.1 billion mill along the Mississippi River in Osceola.
But opponents have also emerged, and as committee votes approach this week it is not clear whether state funds will back the project. A conservative political action group and an existing steel company each have mounted campaigns against Beebe's plan.
A pair of legislators from Mississippi County — Sen. David Burnett, D-Osceola, and Rep. Monte Hodges, D-Blytheville — say Arkansas cannot afford to lose a steel mill that is expected to create at least 525 jobs paying an average annual salary of $75,000.
"This would change lives tremendously, not just in Mississippi County, but in the surrounding areas where people will commute for these jobs," Hodges said. "There will be satellite business that spring forward because of Big River. It's going to be a ripple effect."
Senate President Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, and House Speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, said they would support the project because they were satisfied that the potential benefits outweighed the risks.
"There's always risk in anything you do, and nobody is saying this is fail-safe," Carter said. Mississippi County, he said, is on the down side of a boom-and-bust cycle.
"This is a part of the state that was thriving for a long time, and things over the past few decades have gone the other way," he said. "The rest of the state needs to keep that on their mind when we debate this."
Democrats also generally support the project, said House Minority Leader Greg Leding.
But the proposal to offer loans, subsidies, and tax breaks to a newly formed company has conservatives describing the plan as a government "hand-out" that would siphon public resources from elsewhere.
One influential conservative group — incidentally, one with ties to one of Big River Steel's largest investors — is telling lawmakers to reject the project.
The Arkansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity — the group founded by billionaire energy executives Charles and David Koch — sent emails to lawmakers last month saying the project "puts Arkansas tax dollars at risk and increases the state's outstanding debt obligations."
Koch Industries is a major investor in the project, investing $120 million into the project to become a 40 percent stakeholder, according to George Hopkins, executive director of the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System, which is itself planning to be a 20 percent investor in Big River Steel.
House Republican Leader Bruce Westerman said he's still undecided about the $125 million package, which includes $50 million as a loan.
"We're acting more like a bank when we're giving them grants to develop a site," said Westerman, R-Hot Springs. "Do I think that's the best use of government resources? Not necessarily, but I know that's the game of economic development and you might have to do that if you're going to be competitive with other states."
Nucor Steel, which operates two steel plants near Blytheville, says having another steel mill in northeast Arkansas would negatively impact their business and could force them to scale back their Arkansas workforce.
Big River Steel is being led by a former Nucor executive John Correnti. Backers of the project say that both companies will be able to prosper in the region.
"Nucor has been a very fine citizen, and I wouldn't support Big River if I didn't think they can live in harmony together," said Burnett. "Competition is generally what makes for better products, a better engine of industry."

More "Hype" From The Reg?
Stop the 'ludicrous hyping' already.
Apple's 4GB iPhone costs $200 in components to make. The 8GB model's parts total just $20 more. So claims US market watcher and device stripper-down Portelligent. Of course, Portelligent's numbers - relayed by BusinessWeek - only cover the parts, not the cost off putting them together, shipping the finished product, marketing …
Stop the 'ludicrous hyping' already.
Those things are expensive....
If you don't want to read about iThingies, just don't click on links to 'em. I'm no Apple fan, but I find the convolutions of their launches fascinating.
Looks like pretty standard pricing strategy. You start high getting the early adopters and gadget fans. You price excessively high to maintain the supply/demand balance and to recover your R&D costs. Then you steadilly ramp up production, drive down component and assembly costs and start to reduce the price. Hardly new or news. :)
I remember when I got Mouse-Trap for Xmas whe I was six by Dad said it looked like tuppence worth of plastic.
Nice to see El Reg exercising the same degree of in depth analysis.
Yeah. but tuppence could get you a night out and a new suit in them days.
... and each one makes some profit for the parts and assemblies they provide up the chain.
Apple gets the largest share, but also has done by far the most work and innovation.
I know Apple has an annoying reputation to many. What Jobs has done is move Apple out of the commodity consumer electronics business. Traditional silicon heads prefer living in a tree house with a "No Girls Allowed" sign firmly nailed to the trunk. They haven't been happy since DOS last kept the digital peasants at bay.
Exactly how much is the leather worth in a pair of Italian loafers? What are the materials worth in a Turner? What is the value of the clay used in Wallace and Gromit?
Everything is made in china with Apple...I doubt apple is giving them a "nice" cut.
If they make everything in china, does it not break easily? Must hold in heat something terrible too - wonder how they get around that? But I guess that's innovation for ya.

BERLIN – A federal judge last month made an informal ruling on some aspects of the lawsuit filed by a former Worcester County Developmental Center (WCDC) employee against the agency in February, agreeing to grant to defendant's motion to dismiss the case in part and deny the motion in part.
Former WCDC employee Jometta Johnson, through her attorney, in February filed suit against the agency and two of her supervisors alleging race discrimination, retaliation, assault and battery and other charges including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) violations. According to the complaint, Johnson was fired last September after an alleged final act of discrimination and retaliation b her supervisors.
The complaint filed in February lists as defendants the WCDC; Johnson's former supervisor Sally Borzager, who was allegedly at the forefront of the problem; and human resources manager Nicole Dobelstein. Johnson is seeking an undisclosed amount in compensatory and punitive awards as well as injunctive relief.
In March, attorneys for the defendants filed a formal answer to Johnson's complaint seeking a motion for summary judgment, or in the alternative, a complete dismissal of the case. The formal response, submitted on behalf of the defendants by Baltimore attorneys Edward Ranier and Eric Steiner, addresses each count listed in the complaint and cites reasons why the case should be dismissed.
Last month, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz issued a memo to counsel on both sides outlining his reason for granting the defense's motion to dismiss in some aspects of the case and denying the motion to dismiss in certain other aspects. In one count of the complaint, Johnson alleges a charge of intrusion upon seclusion, a legal term that essentially alleges her supervisors violated her privacy by contacting her doctor to clarify his note concerning the type of footwear she should be allowed to wear at work because of a chronic foot condition. The formal answer does not deny Johnson's supervisors contacted her doctor without her knowledge or permission to clarify the meaning of the note regarding footwear, but seeks to dismiss the charge because it asserts the defendants as employers had the right to contact the doctor.
In his informal letter to both sides filed last month, Motz agreed the WCDC and its staffers had the right to contact Johnson's doctor about his ambiguous note and effectively granted to motion to dismiss that aspect of the case.
"In my judgment, an employer's contact with an employee's physician for the limited purpose of clarifying an ambiguous note submitted to the employer by the physician is not so egregious as to be highly offensive to a reasonable person," the letter reads.
In yet another aspect of the case ruled on informally by the judge last week, Johnson's attorneys in the complaint allege the actions of the WCDC and the staffers named in the suit violated Johnson's rights under the ADA. According to the suit, Johnson claimed the defendants discriminated against her in violation of the ADA because of her chronic foot problem. In their motion to dismiss the case, defense attorneys contend the ADA violation aspect of the case is not valid because Johnson did not exhaust all other available remedies before bringing suit. In his memo last week, the judge agreed Johnson did not follow the usual procedure for an ADA violation claim, but did not dismiss that aspect of the case.
"As contended by defendants, plaintiff may not have exhausted her administrative remedies as to the claim under the Americans with Disabilities act asserted in Count II," the letter reads. "However, I will deny the motion as to that count, without prejudice to the defendants."

70 dead as Asaad urged to leave to Russia
The President of Tunisia Moncef Marzouki has proposed to the Syrian President to go to Russia with his family into exile. In a speech at the first meeting of the Friends of Syria, which was held in Tunis, he said the Assad family should be guaranteed immunity.
"Justice will not be served, but the life of the Syrians is more important than justice," he said, stressing that such a solution, along the lines of the Yemen road plan, is better than a military intervention or the arming of deserters.
"Friends of Syria" hosted more than 70 countries, and called for a ceasefire so that humanitarian aid can reach the worst affected areas.
While international pressure on the Syrian regime seems to be increasing, the bombardment of Homs by government troops continues. According to activists, on Friday at least eight people were killed in the protests in the besieged city. Nationally, according to activists, on Friday at least 50 people were killed, including 12 children

Hi everyone. I took different library, which is much more advanced, and completely in C++ - SFML now, so i'm remaking Ping Pong game. Now i would like to do a smooth, nice movement, random movement...
I used to write the movement like that:
Which 'lags', and is not very smooth, looks crappy. I think about something like that, but i'm unable to make it work:Code:if (dir == 1 && y > 0) { for(velocity_x = 0;velocity_x > -3; velocity_x --) { for(velocity_y = 0;velocity_y > -3; velocity_y --) { velocity_x --; velocity_y --; } } x -= vel_x - velocity_x; y -= vel_y - velocity_y; }
Before the hit to the wall or the stick, leave it constant. On hit generate a random number, for the direction, to which the ball would move. But how to make the direction work - i don't know. x++ and y-- ain't gonna work here.

Talk: The Glamorganshire Canal
3 August 2013, 2pm
Cost Free
Suitability Adults
A special talk from author Stephen Rowson, who will look back at the fascinating History of the Glamorganshire Canal.
The Glamorganshire Canal was a canal in south Wales, UK, running from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff. Construction started in 1790, and the 25 miles (40 km) of canal was fully opened by 1794. Its primary purpose was to enable the Merthyr iron industries to transport their goods, and it later served the coal industry.
It closed progressively between 1898 and 1951, as a result of subsidence and competition from the railways, and much of its course is now buried beneath the A470 Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil trunk road.

The iS8/Nike Fall Tip-Off Classic kicked off its first Saturday of the tournament with four major blowouts.
For the winning squads, which easily ran through their opponents, it was a quickly acquired notch on the pool play belt. Meanwhile, the non-production of the blown-out teams put a nasty scar on the reputation of the losing teams -- a blemish on their records very early in the season.
Playaz Club (Jrs) Flatten Team Albany, 65-24
After dropping the ball against a very quick and talented Ben Gordon All-Stars in its first matchup of pool play, 64-47, Playaz Club (Jrs.) could not afford to make the same mistakes twice.
The New Jersey squad did not only learn from the mishaps of the first contest, but also established a winning posture with a 65-24 victory over Team Albany in the second matchup of the day.
The 41-point blowout was the largest trouncing of the day.
Although the game started in the third quarter and Playaz Club (Jrs.) was awarded a 16-0 advantage because of the tardiness of Team Albany, it hardly made a difference. Playaz did not just maintain the 16-point margin, but more than doubled it by the close of the third phase, 42-4, on a steal and bucket by New Jersey's Josh Marquez (game-high 14 points).
Playaz Club overwhelmed Team Albany with its skill, size and ball movement. Albany's Pat Caruso (team-high 10 points) stayed fundamentally sound on both the offensive and defensive ends. However, Caruso's teammates did not complement his hard work.
Playaz (Jrs.), which led by as much as 44 points during the game, improved to a 1-1 standing. New Jersey's Reggie Cameron and Joel Hernandez added 10 and seven points to the win, respectively. Team Albany is currently 0-1.
Playaz Club (Srs) Bulldozes Primetime, 131-91
Playaz Club (Srs.) waited a long time to hit the hardwood since its first matchup was a forfeit (Knights). So, when it was time to finally see some action, the Playaz (Srs.), a very powerful unit, were relentless.
Playaz slowly crept ahead early in the first quarter, leading by only four points in the opening minutes of the first period. However, within the next few minutes, Playaz leapt ahead of the competition by as much as 20 points, 38-18. A 3-pointer by Primetime with a few ticks remaining in the warm-up phase slightly cut the Playaz' lead to 17.
Playaz' Kyle Anderson (game-high 61 points, 31 in the first half) continued finding open gaps on the wings in the second quarter, making Primetime pay from the arc. Anderson's noticeable size advantage also allowed him to drain mid-range jumpers and flush putbacks with relative ease.
Playaz led 68-44 at halftime.
Additional production from the athletic Chris Jones (21 points) maintained the high point margin against a very feisty Primetime.
Primetime's Shaq McFarlan (team-high 25 points), Chris Rejos (23 points) and Kody Jenkins (17 points) tirelessly attempted to get some stops and go on subsequent scoring binges, but Playaz had too many options of its own.
Playaz led by as much as 45 points, 123-78, late in the fourth and final phase.
Playaz Club (Srs.) now stands at 2-0 and Primetime is 0-1.
Long Island Lightning Strikes Down Sportsfess, 70-30
L.I. Lightning, like the other winners-by-blowout on Saturday, separated itself from the competition in the first period. L.I. Lightning led Sportsfess-Youngbouls 20-9 near the close of the first quarter.
The Lightning led 36-15 by halftime.
Sportsfess' Mike Brown (team-high 16 points) tried to keep the sinking ship afloat, but the Lightning's Jonathan Severe (game-high 19 points) and company did not let up on the scoring barrage.
L.I. Lightning's margin widened dramatically quarter by quarter, eventually shutting down Sportsfess 70-30. As a result, the Lightning hold a 1-0 standing.
Slow Bucks Takes Sportsfess 2 The Rack, 60-28
Slow Bucks.TV/2 The Rack posed a serious problem for Sportsfess, picking the competition apart piece by piece. There was no stopping the formidable force of Jordan Washington, who displayed both big man and guard ability.
2 The Rack defense prevented Sportsfess from scoring in clusters and, in turn, stifled any offensive momentum stirring from its opponent.
Washington netted a game-high 18 points in the 60-28 victory. Teammates Tarik Raynor and Uzonna Akazi added nine points a piece.
2 The Rack owns a 1-0 record, while Sportsfess dropped to 0-2.

Perhaps it is reassuring that corporations, even entire industries, undergo discrete stages of development, from uncertain beginnings to a more predictable maturity. Eventually, novel and unique technologies evolve to become robust and economically viable. Although the biopharmaceutical industry is only 30 years old, it has already graduated through several stages of development and is currently undergoing an important transition. We are on the cusp of a manufacturing renaissance where companies will have the ability to produce biopharmaceuticals consistently at high yields, respond rapidly to shifts in demand and development cycles, and lower investment in production infrastructure. These changes are being driven technically, by advances in biological and process engineering, as well as economically, through facility sharing and utilization. As a result, we believe that the fundamentals of the biotechnology industry will change dramatically, resulting in product costs and flexibility equal to those currently achieved for small-molecule pharmaceuticals. Progress in biopharmaceutical manufacturing will have far-reaching consequences for industry dynamics and competitive strategies. The three drivers for this transition are:
The early years of biopharmaceutical production saw scientists evolve into engineers, inventing production equipment, control systems, and analytical technology that simply did not exist in a pharmaceutical industry based on developing medicines from small chemical compounds. Unlike small-molecule drugs, protein-based drugs were produced by living cells; manufacturing cell lines had to be established and then grown under conditions that promoted viability and high cell densities. Finally, the cells needed to be separated from their products and the protein purified aseptically. The core technology used to produce and purify the protein-based drugs varied among companies and manufacturing plants. In the industry, the initial focus was on making new products, not production efficiency, and demand quickly outstripped the capacity to supply.

Inside the NYCHoops.net #1 ranked Boys & Girls Kangaroos gym, hangs a sign that reads 'Protect This House.' On Thursday, the Roos must have hung that sign a bit too high.
For the first time since the inception of PSAL Class AA basketball, the #3 ranked Abraham Lincoln Railsplitters (6-0) beat the Kangaroos (6-1) in their own house, 62-60.
"The jinx is over," a fan yelled out after the game as another chapter in the age old rivalry between the two Brooklyn, NY schools continues. While Lincoln has gone on to win more PSAL chips than Boys & Girls, the one thing they could never seem to win over the years is a game in Roos' house.
"[It's a] tough loss, they wanted it more," said Kangaroos assistant coach Elmer Anderson. "We never got loose balls. Crappy loss, especially at home."
Leroy Fludd's (4 points) emphatic dunk and a trey shot by Mike Taylor (8 points) got the ball rolling for the Kangaroos who pushed ahead 5-zip with 6:38 left in the first quarter up Isaiah Whitehead (12 points, 4 assists)) broke up a potential Boys & Girls run with a midrange jumper. Lincoln fought hard on defense to mute the Roos momentum but with 4:22 remaining in the quarter, the Railsplitters were still down, 13-6, as Fludd looked to serve notice, unleashing another mega-dunk.
Ironically, the dunk seemed to energize the opposing team. Shaquille Stokes (20 points, 6 assists), who played the entire game, responded from the air tying the game at 13 with 1:36. With Kamari Murphy (10 points, 12 rebounds) and 6'6" senior forward, Mike White (11 points, 11 rebounds) dominating in the paint, the Railsplitters would end the quarter in front as 6'4" senior guard, Reuben King (7 points) would polish off a 12-0 run with a 3-ball.
Jeff Neverson (12 points) would close the gap, pulling the Kangaroos within a point but turnovers and a basket by Whitehead would extend Lincoln's lead to 5 points. Malik Nichols(10 points) would keep the Roos within striking range with some nice sleight of hand. A lay-up by 5'10" junior PG, Dykwell Bryan (8 points) would finally tie the game at 23. Bryan played major minutes for Boys & Girls due to the absence of starting senior point guard Antoine Slaughter, who was out due to academic issues. The young PG held his own, scoring with 15 seconds remaining to give Boys & Girls a 29-27 lead at the half.
As the third quarter began, Nichols and Neverson would put the Roos up by 6 points but Fludd would pick up his third foul. Stokes would orchestrate another Railsplitters surge. An Offensive rebound and put-back by Young plus blocks by Murphy and Jordan Dickerson, leading to another Stokes lay-up would contribute to a 7-0 run, giving Lincoln a 36-35 lead with 3:51 left in the quarter. Compounding Boys & Girls woes, Bryan would have to come out with a knee cap injury but fortunately a 3-ball by 6'1" sophomore, Teyvon Meyers (6 points) would regain the lead for Boys & Girls. Whitehead would tie the game with a tough and-1 at the rim but the Kangaroos would fight back and keep a slim 45-44 lead to start the fourth quarter.
In the final quarter, Bryan would reenter the game but Lincoln had already taken back the lead, scoring in transition. The advantage flip flopped as both teams headed furiously towards the finish line. Murphy and White would begin to come out ahead on the boards and free-throws by Stokes would give the Railsplitters a 56-52 lead with 2:40 left in regulation.
At the two minute mark, Lincoln still retained a 3 point advantage. Sensing critical mass, during a time out, Boys & Girls head coach Ruth Lovelace, urged her team, shouting in the huddle, "You've gotta fight like you want it here!" but a turnover by Taylor and a missed three-ball by Myers highligted the team's disconnect and would leave the Roos in a 60-57 hole with 17.2 seconds on the clock.
White would draw a foul downlow, increasing Lincoln's lead to four points by shooting 1 for 2 at the charity stripe.
Neverson gave Boys & Girls hope with 1.2 seconds left, nailing a desperation trey from what felt like 800 feet away.
On Lincoln's inbound, the Roos quickly fouled Murphy with a fourth of a second left to play. Murphy would shoot 1 for 2 putting Lincoln up by two-points but the Kangaroos, in a deja vu moment from the recent NY Knick vs. Boston game, were unable to get a shot off in time.
Lincoln head coach Dwayne "Tiny" Morton, applauded his point guard's efforts. "[Stokes] played the entire game. He was tired but he did everything he needed to do to win."

Ferrari owed it to fans to question Vettel move - Alonso
- News:
Ferrari had to react to yellow flag conspiracies - Domenicali
- News:
Ferrari considers yellow flag controversy 'closed'
- Drivers:
- Fernando Alonso
- Teams:
- Ferrari
Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari owed it to its fans to seek clarification from the FIA about Sebastian Vettel's now infamous overtaking move on Jean-Eric Vergne at the final race of the season.
The news caused controversy last week as Ferrari questioned the legality of the pass, which Vettel made while yellow flag warning lights were still displayed on his dashboard. The FIA made clear there was no case to answer as a green flag had been waving at a marshal's post before Vettel overtook, but Alonso said his team had to pose the question to the governing body, with the outcome having the potential to sway the championship.
"There were a lot of video clips on the internet and we knew our fans were asking for an explanation and so it was right for Ferrari to turn to the Federation for a clarification," he explained. "We got a reply and I think everything has now calmed down. I did not pay much attention to all the uproar this incident caused, but I felt we owed our fans an answer."
Alonso said he was not bothered if Ferrari's decision to question the move makes him less popular.
"Frankly, I'm not that interested in what the opinion is of me in Germany or elsewhere," he added. "What I know is that people who see me in the streets hug me and call me gladiator or samurai. What matters to me are the 1200 people in the Ferrari family, who gave me a standing ovation at a dinner. This has been a spectacular year, hard to forget, with moments that will never be repeated like the win in Valencia or in Malaysia.
"Ever since I've been at Ferrari, I think I have grown a lot, especially this last year. Before, the people had a more or less good opinion of me, but now I notice a whole different level of respect. And then, to be one of the greats of Formula 1, it's not enough to win titles, you must also tackle seasons like the one just ended. Next year? I hope to score three or four point more."
Alonso also said that he thought 2012 was his best season to date.
"I am happy with the way things went. In the end, we lost the title by three points, however I did the best season of my life and now I can only think of the year to come. It was a miracle to see, race after race, what we managed to achieve: we definitely did not lose the title in Brazil; that happened in Spa and Suzuka. Next year, we will try and improve the car, trying to start further up the grid, thus avoiding accidents. Let's hope we also have a bit more luck…
"I think in terms of strategy, pit stops, starts, reliability, this has been a perfect year," continued Fernando. "We all agree the one thing lacking was the car, which meant we could not match the best teams for most of the year. It's the only thing we need to improve, but it's also true that it's the hardest thing to do. With all the difficulties we had, I'm thinking for example of how far behind we were in winter testing, to be able to fight right to the very end for the title means we are a great team."

HI Tawni, what a beautiful girl you are! I'm so glad you have someone that cares so very much about you that they got a 2nd opinion to find out what they can do to help you. Happy DOTD to you!
Adopt a shelter pet, Save a life!
That running around in crazy circles -- we call it the Zoomies! Surely an expression of pure dog joy. What idiot ever said that animals don't feel emotions?! Never knew a dog, I guess.
Good Morning Tawni, what a beauty you are and so loving of your best Friend. It sounds like you will take
good care of her. I also adopted a Brother and Sister and after a few months she became blind, but it
doesn't stop her from having a great life, just as Tawni will. She is just beautiful and will protect you
from any harm. Congratulations Tawni who is our very special DOG OF THE DAY.
Hi Tawni!!! Happy Dog of the Day, sweet baby girl! Oh, what a beautiful young lady you are, such a lovely Labbie blend, with a figure any girl would envy! What a wonderful job you're doing, Tawni, helping to heal your humans' hearts after the passing of your beloved predecessor, Monty the Schipperke. We all relate to the indescribable heartbreak they were experiencing after losing their loyal and loving best friend of 15 years; a family member. But then you came along, Tawni, putting those smiles back on their faces, bringing so much joy to their days with your unbridled zest for life, your energy, your puppytude...and oh yeah, those zoomies! I know how frightening it must have been, for your young person especially, to hear the diagnosis of heart murmur. But I too am so glad your family sought a second opinion, a more encouraging one at that, and fingers crossed that by your next visit you'll be given the "all clear!" After all, you're a girl on the go with a whole lot of growing up, a whole lot of living and loving to do! Your family is one lucky bunch, Tawni, having a beautiful, smart (top of her class), loyal and loving best friend and protector in you, sweetheart! You truly are one extra special pup, Tawni, and so very deserving of your Dog of the Day reign! I hope you're enjoying an extra special, adventure and fun filled day of celebration, sweetheart, being spoiled to the max! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Tawni!
Star,Tigg'r , Mollie and the10 Gallon Gang!
And my Rainbow Bridge Furangels...Jingles, Cody, Fritz, Chessa, Satin, Buddy, Lizzie, Oliver, Squeaker, Moonbeam, Rosie, Ruby~
Hi Tawni, it's a pleasure to meet such a pretty sleek girl. Love your coloring and the photos. I smiled as I read the article about you. It sounds as if you are a very sweet pleasant fun loving girl. I hope your heart murmur will not keep you from having a long life. No doubt you have a wonderful home and humans who love you very much. Congrats on being DOTD!
Hello Tawni,
You sure are a beautiful baby girl. I love your pretty coloring too. I hope the heart
problem will resolve itself as you grow into a beautiful big girl. It makes me so happy
to know how much you are loved & cared for by your family. Congratulations on being
chosen as our special DOG OF THE DAY.Sending out lots of cyber hugs & kisses just for you.
I've Been Boo'd
I've been Frosted
Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.

Hey guys, it's me. Proud, lucky owner of Tawni. I want to thank you for all your kind words, and throw a little update out there. Just a day or so after I submitted her for dog of the day, we took her to the vet. And that vet said from what she hear, the heart murmurs all gone!!! She's going in on the 8th of July to be spayed, the vet says she sees no reason why Tawni would be at any risk of going under anesthesia. Although i'm still a bit nervous, and i'll be calling the vet a few times that day to check up on her and make sure she gets through surgery ok, but she's a tough one and i'm confident everything will go just perfect (: I love her so much and am so glad she became apart of my life. Someone told me when I first got her and first learned of her heart murmur that I should just send her back to where we adopted her from. I completely refused, I was appalled by this thought. Just because she had a heart murmur my love for her wouldn't be swayed. She had stolen my heart, and there was no changing that, heart murmur or no heart murmur my love for her will never be lessened.
Thank you all again for your kind words, it's much appreciated. I look forward to being apart of this community and will update you guys on how her spaying adventure goes!

OCEAN CITY- A two-day special fundraising event has been planned for next weekend to benefit a Berlin resident, surfer, lacrosse coach and builder battling a rare degenerative disease for over two years.
In 2009, Steve Falck, a local surfer and girls' lacrosse coach, among many other attributes, was stricken with Multiple Systems Atrophy, a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disease with no know treatment or cure. A foundation has been established in his name to provide financial support for his treatment and care.
On March 3, a Happy Hour with Steve event will be held at the Bonfire Restaurant in Ocean City featuring a silent auction and other fundraising activities. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Nest in Berlin or at Malibu's Surf Shop in Ocean City. The event is scheduled from 4-7 p.m. on March 3.
The following day, March 4, the Stix for Steve Girls Lacrosse Festival will be held at the Crown Sports Center in Salisbury from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more details, visit stephenfalckfoundation.com.

Earlier this afternoon, we began the 2014 Big 12 recruiting draft with Round 1. We continue the draft with Round 2:
1. Kansas -- DE Derick Roberson
Signed with: Texas
Brandon Chatmon: With Jerrod Heard secured as the face of the offense, let's get someone to be the face of the defense. The lanky, athletic defensive end could develop into a terror for opposing defenses, and his natural pass rush skills would help him make an immediate impact on the Jayhawks' defensive front.
2. Iowa State -- DT Terrell Clinkscales
Signed with: Kansas State
Jake Trotter: I actually thought about taking Clinkscales with Iowa State's first pick, so I'm thrilled I was able to still grab him here with the Cyclones' second selection. After booting two DTs during the spring, Iowa State is in major need of immediate impact in the position. As one of the top juco DTs in the country, Clinkscales is just what the doctor would have ordered in Ames.
3. West Virginia -- CB Dravon Henry
Signed with: West Virginia
Chatmon: Obviously, I think coach Dana Holgorsen and Co. did a great job on the recruiting trail with my selection of back-to-back WVU signees in the first two rounds. With Daryl Worley on one side and Henry on the other, the Mountaineers could have the Big 12's top cornerback duo in the near future. In a league that likes to spread you out and expose weak links in the secondary, great cornerback play can be the difference.
4. TCU -- OLB Edwin Freeman
Signed with: Texas
Max Olson: This selection makes a lot of sense when you remember that Freeman's former high school coach, Kenny Perry, is now the cornerbacks coach for the Horned Frogs. TCU made a run at Freeman, who ended up choosing Texas over Texas A&M, and he fits in well with this defense. He likes playing safety, but Freeman's future is probably at linebacker and he could've been a darn good for TCU.
5. Texas Tech -- DT Poona Ford
Signed with: Texas
Trotter: After ranking ninth in the Big 12 in rushing defense, and after graduating its top two D-linemen from last season in Kerry Hyder and Dartwan Bush, Texas Tech needs some beef. As the only ESPN 300 DT to sign in the Big 12, Ford would bring the beef. He would also eventually give Tech the inside presence it so desperately needs defensively.
6. Kansas State -- LB Kyron Watson
Signed with: Kansas
Chatmon: The Wildcats' defense was missing an impact linebacker in the mold of Arthur Brown a season ago. Watson can fill that void. He's versatile enough to play inside or outside and has the speed and instincts to make plays from sideline to sideline. And he'd be a special teams demon for Bill Snyder's squad. Watson is a no-brainer for the Wildcats' pick.
7. Texas -- WR Armanti Foreman
Signed with: Texas
Olson: Heartbroken over losing out on Ford at this spot, and with few elite defenders left on the board, the Longhorns reluctantly go the receiver route and take the highest-rated one on the board. Foreman is the choice over Allen Lazard simply because he's capable of starring as either a wideout or as a cornerback, the spot where he earned all-state honors in 2013.
8. Oklahoma State -- QB Justice Hansen
Signed with: Oklahoma
Trotter: With Mason Rudolph, Jerrod Heard and William Crest gone, the Cowboys grab the final ESPN 300 QB on the board in Hansen, whose size and mobility makes for a good fit in Stillwater. I foresee many Hansen-to-K.D. Cannon TDs coming to Boone Pickens Stadium.
9. Oklahoma -- WR Lamar Parker
Signed with: West Virginia
Chatmon: The undersized Parker (5-8, 155 pounds) reminds me of Jalen Saunders. Much like the former OU receiver, Parker would bring speed, competitiveness and return ability to the Sooners. With OU's increased focus on the running game, Parker would provide a big-play threat to keep defenses honest.
10. Baylor -- RB Samaje Perine
Signed with: Oklahoma
Olson: Baylor thinks very highly of the running back it did sign, Terence Williams, and he'd be a fine pick here. But it's too tempting to go with Perine, a bruising power back who would bring a lot of muscle to the run game that loses Lache Seastrunk. Though he didn't hold an offer from BU in real life, Perine would be the thunder to the Bears' lighting pass game, a great short-yardage option early on. He's absolutely ripped now, but imagine what strength coach Kaz Kazadi could do with him.

The Importance of Setup (a Cautionary Tale)
I took a mini-vacation a few weeks ago to Venice, Florida. My Dad had rented a house for a month and, figuring I could use a few days off, I went to visit. Now first of all, I was the youngest person in the zipcode by half. I've never seen such a concentration of gray hairs.
While there, I was volunteered to do some pro bono work helping diagnose a home theater system that had never worked properly, despite "professional" installation.
What I discovered seriously pissed me off.
Let me give you the scene: in 2003 my Dad's friend built a house in a lovely planned community in Venice. This area is like a frat party for septuagenarians. Seriously, these people will drink you under the table, then kick your ass at shuffleboard 6 o'clock the next morning. I hope that I'll be in that good shape when I'm their age, but I'm not in that good shape now.
Let's call my Dad's friend Richard because, well, that's his name. In the process of building the home, Richard hired an installer to wire every room with in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, with a volume control in each room. That part of the install was done well, and all the wires leading back to the central A/V receiver were even labeled.
However, the home theater system in the main room never worked right. In fact, it was so wrong the family never used it. They complained to the installer that they couldn't understand the dialog, and everything sounded muffled. The installer sent a guy to the house, who looked over the system for a few minutes and declared "That's just how it sounds." For an installer to be so dismissive about gear he recommended shows either incompetence or negligence.
Hey, let's go with both. While the gear wasn't quite what I'd have recommended, it certainly seemed capable of decent sound. Listing to the system didn't prove this conclusively. A multi-zone Technics receiver powered JBL speakers, with a subwoofer running in series with the fronts. The sub was on a shelf in a partially-enclosed hutch (top left, in the picture above). As you'd imagine, there was a lot of bass. The dialog was muffled, and barely audible. There were no surrounds I could discern, despite being able to see the physical speakers.
What was the fix? Well, I turned the volume down on the subwoofer and reduced the crossover frequency to 80 Hz, down from its highest setting. I turned up the center channel and surround speakers. Using the Audio Tool app, I set the levels the best I could. From there I ear-balled-it using a Lord of the Rings DVD. All told, the setup took about 15 minutes. The system went from unlistenable to "not bad." Given the constraints of the gear (the receiver had minimal setup options), the room, and the speaker locations, I was quite pleased with the result.
Now this begs the question: Why didn't the installer do this? A better question, why did he set up the system exactly wrong. Seriously. Every setting that could be adjusted, was adjusted in exactly the wrong way. I left the system with the center and surrounds at +10, they were originally at -10. I left the sub at 80Hz and approximately "4" on the volume scale. It was originally at "Max" on both. Incompetence? Laziness? I don't know.
The moral of the story? There are several. If you're not satisfied with the work done, make a fuss. Far too often people who don't know, assume the professionals they've hired do know. Don't assume. Trust, but verify, as they say. Audio Tool (or any one of the free SPL meters available for iPhone and Android), makes checking levels simple. Setup discs such as Disney's World of Wonder are fantastic tools for verifying settings.
I'm sure there are plenty of decent, honest installers out there. Probably more good than bad these days, given the culling of the herd the economy's caused the past few years. Like any industry, though, there are good and bad. Richard's install took place years before I set foot in the house. I have no idea if the installer is still in business, as he didn't remember the company's name. Rest assured had he, I would have gone to their store and caused a scene (Dammit, I'm the Internet's Geoff Morrison!).

This page describes something reading suttas obscures from their close up view - the Buddha's itinerary and the features of the places he typically visited.
Nalanda (Pavarika mango-grove): The Buddha usually stayed at Pavarikambavana when on visit there (E.g., D.ii.81). The monastery was built by a sethi (banker) named Pavarika, inside his mango grove. He is different from the sethi of the same name in Kosambi, as well as the royal physician by the name Jivaka. Jivaka also built a monastery ( Jivakambavana) for the Buddha in his mango grove , but it was in Rajagaha instead. Nalanda was about one league from Rajagaha ( D.ii.72ff ).
Mātula : A village where the Buddha preached the Cakkavattisihanada Sutta.

Picture it, you're enjoying an average day at work when all of sudden you get a sharp jabbing pain in the center of your chest.
You go from totally relaxed to "oh no!" in 3 nanoseconds. This is a very typical reaction to anxiety induced chest pain.
Chest pain can create a swift and focused sensation of fear all over your body in what feels like an instant.
Your first assumption is that you're having a heart attack and that you're going to die suddenly.
After several minutes of experiencing chest pain, even though you haven't died just yet, you figure that it has to be something serious.
Symptoms like chest pain may have even prompted you to visit the ER or set up an appointment with your primary doctor.
If you did go to see a doctor he/she probably put you through the paces of blood tests, EKG, stress test and maybe even a portable heart recorder for good measure.
The tests all came back normal and you were sent on your merry way. But, you still get chest pain from time to time.
So what is happening, can it be anxiety causing you to have these pains? First let me just say that if you are experiencing regular chest pain and haven't seen your doctor you should go see him/her asap.
Chest pain really can be a sign of heart attack or other serious heart condition.
Really I'm not trying to be an alarmist but this is just a fact. However, once you have been through the hamster wheel and have been told that your problem is nerves than you might be experiencing anxiety induced chest pains.
Anxiety does have the ability to make your chest hurt and it does this in generally 5 ways.
1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD causes your stomach to create excess acid which is "backed" up into your esophagus which in turn creates heart burn and chest pain.
2. Esophageal spasm : This causes your lower esophagus to contract and also disturbs the muscles in your chest wall. This is a random and involuntary contraction of a series of muscles.
3. Stress : High levels of stress over a prolonged period of time can cause muscle tightness and tension. This can lead to all kinds of aches and pains all over, including the chest area.
4. Panic attacks :It is also very common to feel chest pain and shortness of breath when experiencing a panic attack.
5. Precordial Catch Syndrome: PCS is usually seen in children and teens but has been known to affect adults.
This is a seemingly mysterious condition that causes sharp pains for short durations, normally under the left breast or even the arm pit.
And although the pain is sometimes piercing it is not dangerous nor does it require treatment.
I have read many articles that try to explain the difference between chest pain and a heart attack.
As far as I can tell there is very little difference between the two. This is exactly why it is so important to see your doctor if you are experiencing new or different types of chest pain.
Once you have been checked out however you should relax and accept that not all chest pain is heart related. This is not to say that it isn't frightening because it absolutely is.
I'm just saying that you should try to put your mind at ease so you can reduce your stress level which would decrease the anxiety symptoms that create chest pain.
I have had this particular problem myself for about 2 years. And although you never get used to it, you can relax your attitude toward it.
It's important to get cleared not just for safety reasons, but also to reduce the amount of fear you have when chest pain does hit you.
Chest pain is varied so it can make you grab at your chest and pulse for days. Your heart can feel "warm", you can have short jabbing pains, the pain may radiate to your arms and back, your chest muscles may vibrate, the muscles under your arm pits may be affected, etc.
Chest pain can be an endless abyss of worry. So cut the worry off as it were and do what you must to be reassured.

(KARE) It's been a whirlwind of emotions for Ron Breberg. His wife Nancy has been through a lot, too.
"You get pretty nervous when you're afraid you'll lose your wife," says Ron. "But she's doing as good as can be expected."
On Friday night, Nancy was making her way from Centerville, Minnesota to St. Louis Park, but somehow became lost and found herself driving down a road in Plymouth. It's then when her car slid off the road and into a pond.
"The vehicle was on its side, was not running and all the windows were closed," said Officer Melissa Johnson with the Plymouth Police. "She was unable to exit the vehicle on her own."
The car, hidden from passing motorists, sat in the pond half submerged with Nancy hanging in her seatbelt. She hung on until a passing cyclist spotted the vehicle at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday and called police.

Police in El Reno, Okla., arrested 45-year-old Thomas Shawn Nelson after police in Van Buren asked agencies to watch for Nelson, who was believed to be traveling to California.
Nelson was caught on Interstate 40 outside of Oklahoma City.
The Southwest Times Record reports (http://is.gd/upul2p ) that Van Buren police were summoned after a juvenile was brought to a hospital for treatment early Sunday.
Police say Nelson is being held in the Canadian County jail in Oklahoma. He is expected to be extradited to Crawford County. It wasn't immediately clear whether Nelson has a lawyer.

programs are growing
By Scarlet Sims
POTTSVILLE - The Pottsville City Council approved applying for a loan for the Angel Lake Development project at the monthly meeting Monday.
"We've got a lot invested," contractor Quinton Hilburn said. "We've already paid for the land."
Hilburn is working with a company out of Springdale that has more than 25 years of experience.
The company has to build to make a profit, he said, noting he was willing to put up letters of credit guaranteeing the city would not be stuck with the bill and an incomplete project.
Hilburn reassured members the project would be completed in two to four years and that work could begin as early as February of next year, depending on the loan application process.
The subdivision is in the planning phases, Hilburn said. The size of the proposed homes was increased to about 2,000 square foot, and the multiple entrances were reduced to one, making the area more exclusive. The subdivision will have about 106 lots that may be purchased undeveloped, he said.
The council asked Hilburn to consider alternatives to individual grinders and to move the lift station back from the street.
Council members voted to begin a Rural Development grant application to help pay for a new lift station and force main for the new subdivision. Hilburn agreed to give the city a letter of credit to pay for about half of the initial application fee, which includes environmental and archeological studies. The application fee is estimated at $15,000. City leaders hope the loan will cover the other $185,000 for the sewer system.
This was Hilburn's second visit to the city council. After seeking approval from the Pottsville Planning and Zoning Committee, he returned to the city council with a representative from Crafton, Tull & Associates, Inc., architects and engineers for Angel Lake.
George Woolf, city council member, made the motion to require a letter of credit from Hilburn until the final plat is approved and until the loan application is approved. The credit is two stage because Hilburn said he could not give a letter that did not specify an amount.
The specific cost will be unknown until after the loan applications process is completed and bids are taken.
The council passed the motion 4-2.
Pottsville athletics
The Pottsville Athletic Association made a presentation to the board. Newly-elected President Jim Coutts gave the annual report.
"The program, at least at this point, is supporting itself," Coutts said.
The association started with about $3,000 and ended the year with about $5,000, he said, pointing out the money would be spent on necessary improvements to ballfields, lighting and fencing.
This year's programs had 48 football players, 51 cheerleaders, 180 softball and 260 baseball players, Coutts said, noting the program is growing.
Mayor Jerry Duvall said it was time for the council to begin thinking about expanding the park.
"We need more land," he said. "We need more fields, now."
Currently, the softball and baseball teams are forced to try to practice around the high school teams. With the number of teams, practice time and field access are in short supply, Coutts said.
The association is improving the park. Plans to install a gate around the temporary fence for pre-game warm-up are underway.
Coutts said the gate would allow children to play catch away from stands.
One light pole is in the process of being replaced, said Jeff Fryer, assistant to the mayor. Woodpeckers have damaged two other poles that may have to be replaced soon.
Coutts also discussed the possibility of creating park banners to honor Pottsville teams that won district and state tournaments.
In other business
The Insurance Service Office released the new rating for the Pottsville Fire Department. The department's ISO rating dropped from a seven to a four, which will take effect March 1, 2006, Fire Chief Vernon Lawhorn said.
The new ISO rating is for everyone within a five-mile driving distance from the station. Everything outside that range will remain a class 10.
Pottsville Police Chief Blake Herren thanked the Russellville Police Department and everyone who helped Pottsville police investigate a burglary this past month. He said an arrest had been made.
The council unanimously approved a variance request for council member Donnie Elliot.
Elliot is building a workshop on the back of his property. The city ordinance requires building 15 feet away from the property line, but because of the lay of Elliot's land, he requested a five-foot variance.
The ordinance for the fire department by-laws (2005-10) was tabled. Council members wanted time to review revisions City Attorney Jeff Philips had made to the ordinance. Copies will be mailed to members for review.

Background Info.
History: The village had gathered together in the event foretold that a child of great strength was about to be born on this day. The mother Hikuren, was in indescribable pain she hated and despised every minute of it but she loved that son was to be expected to be so highly respected. She was proud to bear the Child of Kiren, one of the most respected Jonin in the village. The clouds turned black and lightning began to crack and every moment the wind blew. Amongst all this happening Hikuren was enveloped and swallowed in chakra, the air around her became so dense the village people could barely breathe. Her cry was to be heard all the way in the highest mountains of the Kumogakure. then it all came to a sudden halt the wind calmed and the storm clouds dispersed, the baby was now born but instead of coming out crying it was sleeping as it had spent all its energy trying to get out and then the Medical Corps took and checked to see if everything was all right with the baby. The village rejoiced in happiness but before their merrymaking could get a start the husband, Kiren couldn't even look at his wife, she was dead. The medical corps had checked, all of her internal organs had been ruptured and crushed. The village a Wake the next morning, it was bright and the sun beaded on the village. But Kiren couldn't even look up, but vowing to take of their child with his Life, his name would be named Seishou. The medical corps diagnoised Hikuren's death, as an imbalance of chakra during the birth, or some sort of freak accident.
When Seishou turned 5 he went under intense training. The training was intense for a 5 year old, but at the same time Seishou would do everything his father told him with little effort, walking on water and running on the sides of trees even shuriken jutsu by age 7. The day before Seishou was to be finally enrolled in the academy at age 9 his Kiren had a final sparring session with him. He barraged him with him mastery of taijutsu, none of it was connecting with Seishou and to his shock Seishou hadn't broken a sweat neither was he breathing hard. The father continuously came at Seishou each in every time with more killing intent, this confused Seishou but he never said a word. Kiren then took out a kunai and through it, Seishou then defelcted it with great ease. Kiren took out 2 more kunai and read and started slashing and again Seishou began dodging, Kiren had never fought anything like this. Seishou continued to get more irritated at each strike going on to wonder why was his own father really trying to kill him. As Kiren came in for next attack he noticed that Seishou had become irritated, Seishou then wasted no time in slugging his father sending flying back to the ground. Kiren scrambled to get up but saw Seishou running in the other direction in dead silence. With the father looking seemingly disgusted.
As soon as Seishou was enrolled in the ninja academy he was spotted as great talent. Already knowing all the things being taught, he seemed very distant to the students but always wanted friends. Word got around to the Raikage, A who was looking for a partner for his Double Lariat. Seishou was then sent to the Raikage's training ground where he would be tested. He had an affinity towards lightning which was an important factor. His ability to shape chakra even astounded the Raikage's advisors. The Raikage then began to get interested in the boy's talents. The advisors then went in and did more precise testing. The next day the advisors came back with interesting news, Seishou had a passion for combat in order to test his skills and had a nearly unbreakble will. Impressedthe Raikage ordered for only Seishou and another to be left to be named B. All the other candidates went home in disappointment. Seishou and another were called onto the battle field. The battle began in after it was over the field was in ruins, and many crater were abounded in every few meters of the field. The opponent had won, but barely standing. The Raikage approached the Seishou applauding his great effort. The opponent then named Bee he walked over and rapped "Nice fight fool yah fool". Seishou simply smirked and said nothing back. The Raikage then sent Seishou off to be explore the world around him and hone his many talents, and secretly ordered him to be watched over by the village Jonin and to guide his journey.

Cancer survivors who want to reduce the odds their cancer will return should follow the same advice given for all to prevent cancer, a U.S. expert says.
Colleen Doyle of the American Cancer Society said when she talks with people diagnosed with cancer, they tend to ask three things: "What can I do to reduce the chance that my cancer will come back? What can I do to help me not develop some other kind of cancer? How can I help my family reduce their risk for cancer?"
"For many years, answering questions two and three was a cinch. We've known for years that for people who don't smoke, the most important ways to reduce their risk of cancer are to strive to be at a healthy weight, live a physically active lifestyle, eat a diet made up mostly of fruit, vegetables and whole grains, and watch how much alcohol is consumed -- if any, at all," Doyle said in a statement.
"Answers about how to reduce the risk of recurrence were not as clear. But, over the last several years, evidence has accumulated for a number of cancers that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, getting enough physical activity and eating a healthy diet can reduce the chance of recurrence and increase the likelihood of disease-free survival after a diagnosis of cancer."
For example, among breast cancer survivors, a recent analysis showed that getting exercise after diagnosis was associated with a 34 percent lower risk of breast cancer deaths, a 41 percent lower risk of dying from all causes, and a 24 percent lower risk of breast cancer recurrence.
The society's recommendations, and those of the American College of Sports Medicine, encourage survivors to aim to exercise for at least 150 minutes per week, and to include strength training exercises at least two days per week. (c) UPI

Maybe this should be in the Gear forum but it is airhead related.
I'd like to use my Garmin nuvi on my R100RS. I've found several mounts that clamp on the handlebar but since there isn't much handlebar real estate on the RS I don't know if they'd work very well...I'm not sure where they could attach. Anybody have any advice for a suitable mount for my bike? It doesn't have to be waterproof...I don't ride in the rain...but I'd prefer it didn't fall off. And it'd be nice if if was relatively inexpensive, say < $50.

Upper deckers were warned that their views would be bad and that no one would ever pay face or over for their seats.
Today's re-pricing confirms what you don't want to hear- PSL buyers were very smart, PSL values are just fine, and if you want to be able to see the ball or a jersey number the upper deck is most certainly unacceptable. Remember that Giants Stadium held 76,000 and everyone had a decent view. MetLife Stadium holds 82,500 people but only 55,500 seats have a decent view. Supply and demand. 20,000 fewer seats with good views in MetLife than in Giants.
PSL's are indeed investment gold.
You have to wonder if the Jets are seriously concerned about blackouts for this season. To offer this big of a discount, they probably cant eat the amount they have left.
Forget PSL vs PSL's we need to have fanny's in those seats .
They will never admit it, but methinks they are in trouble. If we have another poor season, we may have togo the Jax route, and tarp off certain sections
Last edited by Mickey Shuler; 06-21-2012 at 12:34 PM.
Why well I have a buddy in the UD three sections to the right and I can go with him once in blue moon. Also can take kids.
While I was on the phone, Section 317 row 20 on aisle, section 310 row 20 on aisle, section 309 row 20 on the aisle, Section 334 row 20 on the aisle and section 343 row 23 on aisle sold.
All the seats on the aisle in 317,310, 342 and 335 at $75 closest to 50 yard line and 343, 309, 318, 334 at $50 on the aisle closest to the 50 yard line were moving like hotcakes and all the reps were busy.
However, Sections 307-345 and sections 320-332 Rows 14 to 26 will be a hard sell. The seats are way way back and considering on the aisle 318 by 317 is $50 bucks why would you want dead center end zone for same price. Stubhub will tell us real price.
BTW Jets are mailing tickets last week of July, Jets did promotion today to sell as many tickets as possible the next three weeks in order to get the order to the printers and deliver tickets to us.
Did any of these idiot owners think about demand when they built these completely unnecessary new stadiums?
The Yankees reasoning on why no one was going was even worse.
Anyone in rows 10-13 in those reduced sections must be furious. Some guy in section 343 on the aisle by 342 in row 13 was paying $105 a ticket yesterday and today he is still paying $105 a ticket and section 343 row 20 on the aisle by 342 was sold for $50 a ticket. Is his seats worth $65 more for being 7 rows forward, no way.
However, anyone in the reduced sections who already paid is doing a jig today. However, they would mainly be in the $75 dollar seats as anyone in the $50 dollar seat would have relocated.
Sucks kinda that all the $50 seats go to new season ticketholders. Many a season ticketholder in UD EZ in rows 14-22 would have never moved down.
The formula for building a profitable NFL Stadium:
1) Maximize Luxury Box Sales
2) Get people to upgrade to Club level Seats
3) Depending upon the size of your fan base, you want to provide 65-75,000 seats (normal capacity expandability for special events is fine). The more seats you can cram into the sidelines and lower bowl, the more you can charge for each seat.
4) Whatever you do, you DO NOT built lots of bad seats in the upper deck corners and endzones. In addition to being difficult to sell, those extra seats push down the value of better seats as they provide an opportunity for people to trade down.
Because the Jets were sharing the stadium with the Midgets (larger, richer fan base), they ended up having to try to sell 10,000 horrible seats in upper rows, upper deck corners, and the upper deck endzones. In addition to horrible views, those seats are exposed to the elements. The Jets compounded the problem by mispricing the entire upper deck and failing to provide enough pricing levels.
BTW the new pricing doesnt solve the Jets upper deck problems. The extra 10K seats are going to continue to cause pricing disruptions: People in good upper deck seats may want to trade down to cheaper seats.
For example, my old upper deck sidelines seats were in 341, Row 21(ish), on the aisle next to 342. Had I kept the seats, the people next to me would be paying $300 less per seat per season. If I still controlled those seats, I would be hopping mad and want a discount or the opportunity to trade down. If those seats were tarped or didnt exist, I would not be mad.
Just bought in my 2nd set of season tickets, just to gain rights to a 2nd parking pass.
This is great. I can now continue to do what I've done for the past 2 years... sell off my UD seats while I continue to sit in the premium lowers for face value (or less), as it will continue to be simple to find multiple PSL-owners who can't use their seats every week (or are just trying to recoup their waste).
All while now doubling my capacity to bring a bus-load of partiers into the parking lot for the pre-game festivities.
All the benefits, without any of the extra cost. Isn't capitalism grand?
Nice job by the Jets finally recognizing that the last six rows of most of the ionosphere deck aren't worth 100 bucks in this economy or probably any economy.
Nice job by the clazzy giantz continuing to overcharge their fans plus charge a thou PSL on top

I never sit in the upper deck but now I can talk some friends into coming to games w/ me besides my bro.
Moved up from row 9 to row 14, staying in the same section, saves me $400 for the season.
Especially since I already know I'll be selling tix to at least 3 games, and missing at least one preseason game, figured it's worth it. Now I'm in the best row of my price range.
Rows in the UD do make a big difference, my first year I was row 20, next year row 10, difference was considerable. But five rows higher for $400 less is worth it for me.
Surprised they didn't announce this before they let people switch seats, now they will get a lot of calls to switch again.

This is the only panorama I had time to take during my visit to Carlsbad National Park. I used my standard 48-exposure process, but this was particularly challenging because the room very dark. For some areas, it took seconds to collect light and produce this image. The place certainly does have a sense of wonder and character to it.
New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_mexico]

David Letterman, who announced plans Thursday to retire from CBS' "Late Show" next year, influenced a generation of comics, including some current rivals – and possible successors.
In keeping with the spirit of Letterman's signature bit during his combined 32 years of after-hours TV comedy, here's a Top 10 list of potential "Late Show" hosts, ranging from favorites to long shots:
•Craig Ferguson: Reports vary on whether the "Late, Late Show" host has first right of refusal on Letterman's job. But it's an offer he could very well refuse: The offbeat Scot's fans might believe that his brand of comedy – complete with improvised, occasionally brilliant monologues and a robotic skeleton sidekick – plays best to a smaller, insomniac crowd. But Ferguson's intelligent, quirky approach could help him stand out amid earlier-hour competition.
•Chelsea Handler: Save for Jimmy Kimmel, she might be the most Letterman-esque of the current crop of late night hosts, armed with a biting, sardonic wit. Handler's also signaled that she's looking for a bigger platform than her current show on E! She wins points for her popularity as an author who spares no one – least of all herself – in her best selling humor books.
•Amy Poehler: With her great "Parks and Recreation" about to mark the end of its sixth season, Poehler might be looking for a new challenge right around the time Letterman steps down. Like fellow former "Saturday Night Live" veterans Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, she served a stint on "Weekend Update," which has become a de facto training ground for late night talk show hosts. She's proven in her Golden Globes outings with Tina Fey that she's among the fastest funny folks in show business.
•Arsenio Hall: He returned to late night TV in September after a nearly two-decade layoff without missing a beat – or, in his case, a woof-woof-woof of his "Dog Pound." He gave Johnny Carson serious competition in his first go-around, and could be itching to get out of syndication and onto a bigger stage.
•Jon Stewart: After 15 years on "The Daily Show," the lures of a longer program and a potentially larger audience could bring him to the Ed Sullivan Theater. While clearly a Letterman acolyte, in some ways Stewart, whose show offers a range of guests, is among the most Carson-like of the current late night field. Stewart also has shown he's capable of delivering a consistently high-quality monologue.
•Stephen Colbert: After nearly nine years of brilliantly playing a character, Colbert might be itching to play himself. He would arrive to "Late Show" with musical comedy chops to rival Fallon, his faux TV frenemy. Like Stewart, Colbert would bring sharp topical humor to his monologue.
•Conan O'Brien: He's doing the silly-smart show he wants to do on TBS. But he's likely still smarting from his quick and unceremonious dumping from "The Tonight Show" four years ago. He followed Letterman on "Late Night" with great success, so why not try the same with "Late Show?" O'Brien's goofy, laid back demeanor belies a competitive spirit and sense of unfinished business that could bring him back to major network TV.
•W. Kamau Bell: For most viewers, the "W" in W. Kamau Bell might as well stand for "who?" But the comedian came across as a major talent in waiting with his "Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell" series, which aired in near-obscurity on FX and later FXX. The fiercely smart comic would be a bold, but admittedly long shot, choice.
•Jerry Seinfeld: In last season's edition of "Louie," Louis C.K. secretly auditioned to replace Letterman, only to find out that he was being used as negotiation leverage against Seinfeld, who got the job. It seems unlikely in real life that a performer of Seinfeld's stature would put him self through the "Late Show" daily grind. But his post-"Seinfeld" path has been anything but typical, with frequent stand-up gigs, a movie, mini-"Seinfeld" reunions and a web show. Instead of hanging out with comedians in cars and coffee shops, he could bring the conversations to CBS.
•Jay Leno: The lantern-jawed comedian, who beat out Letterman for Carson's "Tonight Show" post all those years ago, later successfully fought to retrieve the job from O'Brien. While the recent handoff to Fallon was far friendlier, there's always been a hint that Leno wasn't quite ready to leave. The specter, though, of Leno helming "Late Show" just might be enough to draw Letterman out of retirement.

5 Questions With ... Yeyo
Puerto Rican songwriter/producer Yeyo was the recent guest for an installment of The Recording Academy's 5 Questions With … series. Held at The Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., Yeyo discussed rapping in English and Spanish, his musical influences, current projects, and advice for aspiring artists, among other topics.
"Part of my philosophy is I don't take no for an answer, [because] I'm probably asking the wrong person," said Yeyo. "I've gotten a million no's in my life … but tomorrow I'll get a yes and that yes could change my life."
View video from 5 Questions With ... Yeyo
Born in Cupey, Puerto Rico, Yeyo relocated to Miami in 2003 and formed the Art of Sound Group Inc., a recording facility dedicated to producing and recording new and established artists. In 2005 he landed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing and was signed to Epic Records as part of the Latin/R&B group the Dey, with whom he subsequently earned a Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 hit on Paula DeAnda's "Walk Away (Remember Me)." In 2007 the Dey released the EP, The Dey Has Come.
In 2005 Yeyo released the three-track EP Life Of A Warrior featuring "Please DJ." A Spanish version of "Please DJ" was released in 2010 featuring Itagui Correa from the Latin GRAMMY-nominated group Locos Por Juana.
Yeyo has gone on to collaborate with several artists, including Akon, José Feliciano, La Mafia, A.B. Quintanilla, RedOne, J.R. Rotem, Stargate, and Timbaland, and was featured on Rihanna's "Te Amo," a track from her 2009 album Rated R.
In November 2011 Yeyo released the single "Loving My Life," which he debuted exclusively on GRAMMY.com. Yeyo is currently working on a forthcoming album set for an early summer release.

Clarkson grew up in Burleson, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth, where her vocal prowess was first recognized by her school's choir teacher when she was a seventh grader. Upon finishing high school, Clarkson moved to Los Angeles, where she unsuccessfully tried to break into show business. In 2002, after returning to Texas, she became a contestant on the first season of the Fox Broadcasting Company's American Idol, a singing competition that allowed viewers to vote for their favourite performer. Viewers were smitten with Clarkson's arresting voice, charisma, and humour. Her prize for winning the contest was $1 million dollars and a recording contract with RCA.
Just two weeks after her American Idol win, Clarkson released her first single, A Moment Like like This, which quickly achieved platinum statusbecame a hit. Thankful, her debut album of pop songs, followed in 2003. Her second full-length album, Breakaway (2004), which moved beyond Clarkson's initial pop sound into a rock vein, sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and featured the hit singles Because of You, Behind These Hazel Eyes, and Since U Been Gone. The album and Since U Been Gone also won Grammy Awards for best pop album and best pop vocal performance, respectively. Clarkson's third album, My December (2007), marked a new era in her career; even more rock-oriented than her previous releases, it was also more confessional, revealing a more mature side of the prolific songwriter, who cowrote most of her material.with each track cowritten by its performer.
Clarkson balanced her rock and pop tendencies on the albums All I Ever Wanted (2009), which featured the chart-topping single My Life Would Suck Without You, and Stronger (2011). Additionally, with the popular ballad Don't You Wanna Stay (2010), a duet with Jason Aldean, she pursued an interest in country music that was previously made apparent on a 2007 version of Because of You that she recorded with Reba McEntire. In 2012 Clarkson began appearing on Duets, a televised singing competition on which celebrity vocalists sought duet partners.

Wasted opportunity at the Park Theatre

How about a theater?

Who owns the theater? Does the city of Menlo Park have any leverage?
a resident of Evergreen Park

Here's some information and a few ideas, with contact numbers for taking action
Web Link
I would love to see the Park come back. It's a shame to see a commercial institution go away, and then watch the space decay for years.
The old Cafe Verona location on Hamilton Ave. is another example of this kind of neglect; the landlord should be ashamed of his/her behavior.

I would love to see the Park be reopened. However I believe Menlo Park has many restrictions that is holding this back. For example, the beautiful neon lighting that used to show the classic experience of the cinema was forced to be removed. I would love for Menlo Park to allow this theatre to be restored to is once amazing self.

Thank you for your interest in the Park Theater in Menlo Park. There is a group of Theater supporters working to ensure the the Theater is preserved - and reopened for film. We have been involved in this undertaking since before the Theater was shut down by its owner, Howard Crittenden, who also owns the City's only other film theater - the Guild.
Go to our website at: Web Link
It has photos of our demonstration before the Theater was closed, of the sign being illegally torn down by the owner, and more information of our efforts to save the Park Theater.
Also - you may sign up for updates and calls for action at our email address: email@example.com
I can clear up some misunderstandings in the above comments:
The owner chose to close the Theater. Landmark Theaters was operating it at a profit and wanted to stay. The owner wanted to demolish it to build high end office space. However, State laws prohibited demolition because the Theater is presumed to have historic status.
The City doesn't have laws that prevent the Theater from re-opening. In fact, the City has been supportive of it reopening but can't force the owner to do so. It is the owner who chooses to keep it closed. And - it was the owner who illegally had the wonderful neon-lit blade sign cut into four pieces and hauled away early one Sunday morning. The City Manager, police and Mayor arrived on the scene too late to stop it, unfortunately. You may read the subsequent Cease and Desist Order issued to the owner by the City in order to ensure no other destruction occurs.
Please join us in working to preserve the Park Theater for film. Visit our website and join our email list at firstname.lastname@example.com. Ask your friends from surrounding towns to join the list too, particularaly Menlo Park residents.
