We are just a few weeks away from the season 4 premiere of Downton Abbey (in the UK) but today we get to check out a few newly released promo photos that tease the drama ahead without spoiling anything significant. The promo photos below are safe for unspoiled viewing for anyone who is caught up with the series leading into the new season. As we already know, there has been some significant death on the series last season and those deaths will greatly impact the characters on the show in season 4. I cannot WAIT for Downton Abbey to return … and these new promo photos are a great tease for season 4.
The first pictures of Downton Abbey series four have emerged. Lady Mary Crawley, played by Michelle Dockery, is seen in one image holding baby George while standing next to Tom Branson (Allen Leech), who is carrying baby Sybil. The last series ended with Mary giving birth to her son shortly before husband Matthew (Dan Stevens) died in a car crash. Her brother-in-law Tom lost his wife Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay) last series when she died during childbirth, meaning they are both single parents. Daisy Lewis has been cast as Tom's new love interest. Other pictures from the upcoming episodes show Lady Rose MacClare (Lily James), Daisy Mason (Sophie McShera) and Mr Carson (Jim Carter). Speaking of the new series, John Bates actor Brendan Coyle told Digital Spy: "I'm going to stick my neck out and say it's our best series ever. It's certainly my best series ever. I'm really, really grateful for Julian [Fellowes] for that. My storylines are phenomenal… And I'm not going to die in a car crash!" Downton Abbey is expected to return to ITV in September.
It feels like it has been an ice age since Downton Abbey was on TV so, yeah, I'm anxious for the show's return. We here in the US won't get Downton Abbey on PBS until January but the show will debut on ITV in the UK in just a few weeks … and, undoubtedly, the eps will appear online shortly thereafter. I honestly cannot wait until January to watch the new season so I'm gonna hafta cheat … AND I CAN'T WAIT!!! These are great photos … and they should tide me over until Downton Abbey season 4 debuts in September.

Foreign Executives Trapped in Mongolia
Mongolia is known for its desert vastness and its ample mineral wealth. But 50 or so foreigners know Mongolia as something else: the world's largest jail. In a backlash against outside investors, the country has clashed with at least three multinationals. Police have questioned Western and Chinese business executives and banned them from leaving until the complaints against their employers are resolved. Although the employees have not been formally charged with a crime or imprisoned, at least three have been stranded for almost two years.
Mongolia was the world's fastest-growing economy in 2011, expanding 17.5 percent as its coal, copper, and gold fueled China's boom. Foreign mining companies and their employees flocked to Ulaanbaatar, the capital, to make money and experience an exotic culture. Then China's growth slowed, commodity prices fell, and the appeal of Mongolia to foreign investors started to fade. A serious rift developed between the government and Mongolia's biggest investor, Australia's Rio Tinto, over the cost of developing the giant Oyu Tolgoi mine. South Africa's Standard Bank got enmeshed in drawn-out negotiations with the government. (The bank is seeking $130 million from the government for what it says were mishandled debt repayments by state-controlled and private companies.)
The Mongolian government came up with a novel way to settle differences with foreign companies in its favor. "The travel bans add to the uncertainty and the already negative mood," says Michael Preiss, co-founder of Mongolia Asset Management in Ulaanbaatar. "For some it's the nail in the coffin that this place is just not worth it." (Preiss hasn't been barred from travel.) The bans have affected New Zealanders, Australians, Filipinos, Americans, Chinese, and South Africans. The authorities have imposed bans on mining executives, bankers, and even an orphanage worker.
One company whose employees have suffered especially is SouthGobi Resources, a mining venture that operates largely in Mongolia and is controlled by Rio Tinto. The Canadian miner attracted Mongolian scrutiny in 2012 over a planned share sale that would have given control of SouthGobi to China's Aluminum Corp. of China. After it found out about the planned offering, the government passed a law banning such sales to state-owned enterprises such as Chinalco. Then Mongolian authorities started to probe SouthGobi's books. The Independent Authority Against Corruption found what it said was proof that SouthGobi committed tax fraud valued at $4 billion, an allegation the miner disputes.
SouthGobi's operations were crippled by the investigation, and many employees were idled. At least four were barred from leaving, though they were not accused of any wrongdoing. "I'm in limbo, my career has been destroyed, and I don't know when I will be able to leave," says Filipino Hilarion Cajucom, who was an accountant at SouthGobi until he was laid off. SouthGobi still pays for his apartment as well as a stipend. He can only watch family life back home via Skype. "Deep inside there is a struggle of why, why, why?" he says.
Minnesota native Justin Kapla has lived under a travel ban for the last two years. He was president of the Mongolian division of SouthGobi for six months of the four-year period that Mongolian police are investigating. Kapla has been in Mongolia for 11 years, is married to a Mongolian, and has two children. He has enlisted the help of U.S. congressmen and the U.S. Embassy.
Australian Sarah Armstrong, a lawyer for SouthGobi, was waiting at the airport for a flight to Hong Kong in October 2012 when a familiar face emerged from the crowd. A plain-clothes police officer who had questioned employees in her company's offices weeks earlier was heading for her. The airline staff, not realizing he was a policeman, tried to stop him from entering the area, but he pushed them aside. Armstrong was taken in a police car to headquarters, where she was named as a witness in the SouthGobi probe. Although she was then allowed to leave the station, she was brought back for questioning sometimes three times a week for nine-hour stretches. She says she mostly explained how a Western company works. "They didn't know what a board of directors was," she says. After two months, she got to leave.
Some people who still cannot exit the country asked not to have their names printed for fear of reprisals from the authorities. They speak of anticorruption police picking them up at any time and bringing them into brightly lit, windowless cells for day-long interrogations.
The anticorruption authority and district prosecutors declined to comment about the travel bans and police investigations. The chief of staff of the president's office, Tsagaan Puntsag, says, "I am not aware of this issue. If it's a human rights issue, there are institutions that are in charge of this." The U.S. Embassy knows about the detainees, says spokeswoman Allyson Algeo: "We are concerned by reports that the Mongolian exit visa system is being misused to pressure foreign investors to settle investment disputes. Such concerns could have a chilling effect."

Over the past few months, I have made a few updates and changes to the Pantry/Household Stock-Up Price List that I wanted to share with you.
First of all, I have added tons of new Costco comparison prices and updated the majority of the prices with any price increases or decreases. I spent a good amount of time roaming up and down the aisles of our local store, trying to list everything you might find useful. Hopefully this helps all you Costco shoppers (or even non-Costco shoppers) to compare what is a good price on an item for your family.
Second, I combed through the Winco bulk section and added a column with all of these prices. This will help you compare prices per ounce or per pound to determine what is really a good deal. Even if an item has a slightly higher price per ounce or pound at Winco, I will still pick it up there if I only need a small amount. You are not saving money by buying in large amounts at Costco if you aren't going to use all of the item in a timely fashion. You could also consider splitting items at Costco with a friend, but buying from the bulk section is a great option as well.
While this isn't necessarily an update, I wanted to share with you a quick searching tool in Google Docs if you didn't already know it. With the document open, hit CTRL-F and a search box will pop up.
Type in what ever it is you are looking for and hit Find, the item should pop right up. If there are multiple matches, you can click Find again and it will scroll through the different matched items. This makes it super easy to navigate the list, I use it all the time and I created the list!
I will continue to add to the list as I get more prices or find items I missed. If you see something not on the list that you are curious about, please ask! For a complete breakdown of what I have added to the list and why, read my original post here. To go directly to the list, click here.

Lukehart ++ The endemic, or nonvenereal, treponematoses are bacterial infections caused by close relatives of Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum, the etiologic agent of venereal syphilis (Chap. 169). Yaws, pinta, and endemic syphilis are traditionally distinguished from venereal syphilis by mode of transmission, age of acquisition, geographic distribution, and clinical features. These infections are limited to rural areas of developing nations and are seen in developed countries only among recent immigrants from endemic regions. Our "knowledge" about the endemic treponematoses is based on observations by health care workers who have visited endemic areas; virtually no well-designed studies of the natural history, diagnosis, or treatment of these infections have been conducted. The treponemal infections are compared and contrasted in Table 170-1. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 170-1 Comparison of the Treponemes and Associated DiseasesView Large|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf)Table 170-1 Comparison of the Treponemes and Associated DiseasesFeatureVenereal SyphilisYawsEndemic SyphilisPintaOrganismT. pallidum subsp. pallidumT. pallidum subsp. pertenueT. pallidum subsp. endemicumT. carateumModes of transmissionSexual, transplacentalSkin-to-skinHousehold contacts: mouth-to-mouth or via shared drinking/ eating utensilsSkin-to-skinUsual age of acquisitionAdulthood or in uteroEarly childhoodEarly childhoodLate childhoodPrimary lesionCutaneous ulcer (chancre)Papilloma, often ulcerativeRarely seenNonulcerating papule with satellites, pruriticLocationGenital, oral, analExtremitiesOralExtremities, faceSecondary lesionsMucocutaneous lesions; condylomata lataCutaneous papulosquamous lesions; osteoperiostitisFlorid mucocutaneous lesions (mucous patch, split papule, condyloma latum); osteoperiostitisPintides, pigmented, pruriticInfectious relapses∼25%CommonUnknownNoneLate complicationsGummas, cardiovascular and CNS involvementaDestructive gummas of skin, bone, cartilageDestructive gummas of skin, bone, cartilageNondestructive, dyschromic, achromic maculesa CNS involvement in the endemic treponematoses has been postulated by some investigators (see text). ++ Epidemiology ++ The endemic treponematoses are chronic diseases transmitted by direct contact during childhood and, like syphilis, can cause severe late manifestations years after initial infection. In a World Health Organization (WHO)–sponsored mass eradication campaign from 1952 to 1969, more than 160 million people in Africa, Asia, and South America were examined for treponemal infections, and more than 50 million cases, contacts, and latent infections were treated. This campaign reduced the prevalence of active yaws from >20% to <1% in many areas. In recent decades, lack of focused surveillance and diversion of resources have resulted in documented resurgence of these infections in some regions. The estimated geographic distribution of the endemic treponematoses in the 1990s is shown in Fig. 170-1. The most recent WHO estimate (1997) suggested that there are 460,000 new cases per year and a prevalence of 2.5 million infected persons; during the subsequent decade, an increased incidence was documented in some countries. Areas of resurgent yaws morbidity include West Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin), the Central African Republic, Nigeria, and rural Democratic Republic of Congo. The prevalence of endemic syphilis is estimated to be >10% in some regions of Ghana, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Senegal. In Asia and the Pacific Islands, reports suggest active outbreaks of yaws in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, Vanuatu, Laos, and Kampuchea. India actively renewed its focus on yaws eradication in 1996 ...

Bill Cosby got together with Tempest Bledsoe for a reunion of the two cast members of The Cosby Show. The show ended 20 years ago, which is hard to believe for anyone who had a chance to enjoy what the show brought to the country. During the show, Fallon tried to pretend that both Bill Cosby and Tempestt Bledsoe were on the show at the same time by pure coincidence. He claimed that the two just happened to be booked on the same night. But that clearly wasn't the case, since incidents like that just don't happen.

Better see it in action, go to Panoramio, register as a new user, and see the little fade out of "Login Register" and the fade in of "Hi Foo Bar".
Sure enough, it was not working on IE. It's a documented problem, the Opacity effect didn't work on elements without layout. The "layout" is some kind of karma that IE throws on certain elements, and you can activate it manually if you use the right CSS incantation.
So here we go, I apply
height: 1px;
to my two spans to no joy, it still didn't work. Let's try zoom: 1
... on the money! zoom is not a valid css property, but my page didn't validate anyway (and no, I don't care) so I'm sell on zoom.But now I have another problem. If you have cleartype activated the result is ugly beyond belief. Pssst. Well, nobody said that's going to be easy.
Another google search, and we see this lovely blogger giving us a work-around. Just put an explicit background color to this element. Luckly enough I'm using an uniform background for this part of the site, so I just added a

and now I have something that works like a charm at the very least on IE6 and on Firefox.I can now take my breakfast.

Scott Pattison indicted for murdering his wife with a barbell
Pattison says he began CPR and called paramedics. Then he loaded Lisa Pattison into his car and rushed to a hospital in Marion, Indiana. An ambulance intercepted him along the way and took Lisa to Marion General, but she did not survive.
A coroner revealed Lisa had died from "asphyxia due to neck compression," meaning the barbell essentially crushed her throat. The coroner also deemed it homicide, though hasn't said what evidence caused him to come to that ruling. But that information was given to a grand jury, which today indicted Scott for killing his wife…
Lisa Pattison's neck was crushed by a weight-lifting bar
In March, Scott filed for divorce from Lisa, who worked as the marketing and sales manager at the nearby Five Points Mall, and apparently was a well-known businesswoman in the area. The couple was still living together, however, and have at least one son.
Yet arguments and divorce petitions do not a murderer make. So far, police have been very tight-lipped on revealing what evidence they have tying Scott to the murder. But it's apparently enough to convince a grand jury.
We'll keep you posted as this story develops…

Former Wales Grand Slam prop and 1950 Lions Test player, John Robbins, was the first man to be given the job of coaching the British & Irish Lions.
He took charge on their 35-match, five-month tour of Australia, New Zealand and Canada in 1966. His official title was 'assistant manager' and the captain, Michael Campbell-Lamerton, still had ultimate responsibility for preparing the side, but it was at least a nod in the right direction of the need for a coach.
This Tuesday, 2013 Lions tour manager Andy Irvine will announce the head coach for next summer's 125th anniversary tour to Australia. Whereas the first seven coaches had to look after everything on their own, the new man will have a highly qualified team around him Down Under next year.
Where Robbins led, seven further ex-Test Lions have followed down the years. In fact, only Carwyn James (1971) and Graham Henry (2001) of the Lions coaches were not tourists themselves during their playing careers.
Only Carwyn James (1971), Syd Millar (1974) and Ian McGeechan (1989 and 1997) have returned having won a Test series. Can the 2013 head coach deliver the goods? Time will tell.
1966: John Robbins (Wales)
1968: Ronnie Dawson (Ireland)
1971: Carwyn James (Wales)
1974: Syd Millar (Ireland)
1977: John Dawes (Wales)
1980: Noel Murphy (Ireland)
1983: Jim Telfer (Scotland)
1989: Ian McGeechan (Scotland)
1993: Ian McGeechan (Scotland)
1997: Ian McGeechan (Scotland)
2001: Graham Henry (New Zealand)

The mai tai was invented in 1944 at the original Trader Vic's restaurant in Oakland, California. There are many variations of the drink, including this mint-accented version. Look for almond syrup in the coffee-and-tea section of the supermarket.

I made 10 batches of this drink for a luau. I substituted a limeade drink and almond extract for the lime juice and almond syrup to make things easier, and it was still great.

Merce Does Miami
He's been at this for a while, but even after more than 50 years before the public, there remains something weird and wonderful about Merce Cunningham's dance pieces. His troupe rehearses without music. And whatever music ends up being made for the works everything from John Cage's still-shocking sonic surprises to the tidal wave of sounds of David Tudor's Ocean score seems merely to happen by accident alongside the dances. The choreography, dictated by chance as much as by Cunningham's own inscrutable inspiration, is improbably sensual.
The Merce Cunningham Dance Company makes its long-awaited Miami debut at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts this weekend, with an entourage that includes the apocalyptic Icelandic postrockers Sigur Ros playing live alongside the dancers. Merce in Miami is a citywide party for an octogenarian who continues to embody the definition of surprising and new.
"He's never been to Miami," says Justin Macdonnell, artistic director of the Carnival Center. "In a 50-year career, Merce has never been to Florida. I was pretty surprised when Merce said that I thought he meant öfor a while.' But no, never. Who would have thought it?"
Merce in Miami
Choreography by Merce Cunningham. Music by John Cage, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, John King, Conlon Nancarrow, David Behrman, and David Tudor. Tickets are $15 to $65 (several master classes, open rehearsals, and other related festival events are free to the public). Feb. 23 to March 3 at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami; 305-949-6722 or www.carnivalcenter.org and www.merceinmiami.org.
The Carnival Center hosts three different dance programs. It commissioned the world premiere of eyeSpace, bringing together designs by Miami artist Daniel Arsham and an electronic score by David Berhman on a February 23 double bill with 1993's CRWDSPCR pronounced "Crowd Spacer" featuring blues by John King. On February 25, Sigur Ros joins the dancers for Split Sides, a 2003 piece that still has the dance world marveling at this improbable mix of austere modern dance with rock and roll. That same program offers a rare revival of Crises, a 1960 Cunningham classic with music by Conlon Nancarrow that is as celebrated for its original designs by Robert Rauschenberg as it is for its choreography.

The Spotlight

The festival winds down the first three days of March with a major staging of Ocean, Cunningham's 1994 return to choreography after the death of his partner, John Cage. Ocean features a crush of bodies in a maelstrom of beauty that ranks as one of the masterpieces of American dance.
Dancers and dance fans alike should note a master class in Cunningham technique February 24 in the Peacock Studio, taught by company star Robert Swinston. There are also smaller events in the Studio Theater February 24 to March 4, many highlighting some of the new music inspired by Cunningham and Cage. The musical climax likely will be Sunday, March 4, in an older piece that few before Cage thought was playable at all: Thirty-six pianists from the local music community will come together to perform Erik Satie's 18-hour marathon Vexations, free, in the lobby of the Knight Concert Hall.
There are still Cunningham detractors, and not just because of his strange musical choices. A lot of what these beautiful bodies do in a Cunningham dance can seem, well, odd. Perhaps there is some frustration built into any attempt to make abstract art, and in dance that frustration is inevitable. Cunningham's dancers cope with bizarre balances and unexpected rhythms, or simply stand still as if discovering secret harmonies. "I will tell you what John Cage was fond of saying," Cunningham once told me. "He would tell the audience that he had made this music, and that I had made this dance, and that for their convenience we would perform them simultaneously."
Sound simple? Not at all. Each audience member has to choose what to notice in a Merce Cunningham work. Cunningham and Cage were made for each other, in art as in life. They first collaborated in 1953 for the first program by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. This partnership continued until the composer's death in 1992. Cunningham has not stood still, though, and since his partner's passing there has been a breathtaking range of new work. The first of these was Ocean, which is an homage to Joycean chaos that ends up paying tribute to a different Irishman, Samuel Beckett. The dance, which was to have been scored by Cage, now combines a gentle electronic score by David Tudor with more aggressive sounds by Andrew Culver. Cunningham's latest, Split Sides, features two dance performances, one paired with a live performance by Sigur Ros, the other coupled with taped music by Radiohead; a roll of the dice determines which dance piece goes with which band. All of it will be new to Miami.
An ambitious festival by any standards, Merce in Miami also emerges as a persuasive argument for the Carnival Center itself: Sigur Ros live, Radiohead on tape, John Cage never really dead, weird sounds, hot bodies in motion, even the motion of the Ocean captured in dance. Then there is the occasion for Miami to experience for the first time the work of one of the great artists of our time, and for the Carnival Center to play its role as a catalyst for arts and creativity throughout the local community. Homegrown artists were chosen as collaborators through the Carnival Center's partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Florida Dance Association. Miami-Dade College's New World School of the Arts student dancers will participate in the presentations alongside Cunningham dancers. And there will be Miami's own edgy Subtropics Music & Sound Arts Festival in the Studio Theater. With something for everyone interested in new dance, new music, and new painting, the festival adds up to a conscious mission to expand the audience for the arts.
"In many ways," says Macdonnell, "Merce in Miami does many of the things we set out to do here. One is to try to broaden the experience for artists and for audiences in Miami, to just give them a wider spectrum of opportunity, a chance to a see a different side of what is happening in the arts."
Macdonnell sees parallels between Cunningham's chance aesthetics and his own programming for the Carnival Center.
"You roll the dice," said the artistic director. "We'll see what happens."

Craig Competing at a national meet is a different monster than the weekly races that make up a season.
Running at his first National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national championship, Chris Zirkle didn't have his best race but came away with plenty to look forward to when the next cross-country season starts.
Zirkle, a Hayden High School graduate who won a state cross-country title for Moffat County and state track titles for Hayden, qualified for the 2013 men's NAIA Cross Country Championship from Northwest Christian College in Eugene, Ore., after placing 14th in his conference meet.
He raced at the nationals in Lawrence, Kan., on Saturday and finished in 26 minutes, 11.27 seconds for 131st place in the race of more than 300 runners. It wasn't the finishing position he would have chosen or an especially fast time for Zirkle, but nagging injuries had him happy to be racing at nationals at all.
"I'm happy with it. It definitely wasn't one of my better performances," he said after the race. "I was really happy to be there, though. I didn't think I was going to get to run at it."
Zirkle has dealt with plantar fasciitis and arch issues in his feet since last track season, he said. After taking time off during the summer, his foot felt refreshed for cross-country, but the wear and tear of a long season had him dealing with pain once again and slowed him down.
The junior was hoping to finish higher than 131st but admitted there were some aspects of the race he wasn't quite prepared for going in, including the size of the race.
"I got really lost in the crowd," he said. "It was really packed, and there was a lot of good competition. I've taken a lot from that. I've ran in some big races, but it was in high school and stuff. It seemed like all the big races I've been in I was near the front, and this time I got shoved back.
"It's different because you don't know what to do and don't know who to run with."
Still, he said, it was a fun experience and one he plans on duplicating and improving on in 2014.
"All things considered, with the season the way it went, I'm happy with it," he said. "It was definitely a cool experience, and I was glad to be there."

Rocknest 3
- Title Rocknest 3
- Released 27/11/2012 12:00 pm
- Copyright NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL/CNES/IRAP
- Description
This was taken on Sol 57 (4 October 2012) of target Rocknest3 using the ChemCam Remote Micro-Imager (RMI) on the NASA Curiosity rover at a distance of 3.7 m. The image was downlinked to Earth by ESA's Mars Express orbiter via the 35m deep space ESTRACK station in New Norcia, Australia.
This image was taken after a series of five ChemCam Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS) observations. Rocknest is the name of the area where Curiosity stopped for a month to perform its first mobile laboratory analyses on soil scooped from a small sand dune. Rocknest3 was a convenient nearby target of which ChemCam made more than thirty observations overall consisting of 1,500 laser shots; it was also interrogated by the arm-mounted Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) instrument.

Former Longhorn quarterback James Street dies
NEW YORK — The showdown between Texas and Arkansas, both undefeated after 10 games, was hailed as the biggest game of the 1969 college football season. The Rev. Billy Graham gave the invocation. President Richard M. Nixon, who arrived in a helicopter, promised to award the victor a plaque as national champion.
The game was called "the big shootout" even before it was played.
With 5 minutes 51 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Arkansas led, 14-8. Texas had the ball on fourth down with 3 yards to go. Quarterback James Street, who died Monday at 65, was on the sidelines discussing what play to run. He was shocked when his coach, Darrell Royal, uttered his verdict: "Right 53 veer pass."
The play, a deep pass with only one receiver, the tight end, seemed to Mr. Street like the most improbable call in that situation. It had not worked the handful of times Texas had tried it. Mr. Street had expected a counter option to pick up a first down. He asked Royal if he was sure. "Damn right, I'm sure," the coach growled.
In the Texas huddle, Mr. Street, who was 5 feet 10 inches and weighed 168 pounds, said, "Boys, you ain't gonna believe this," then called the play. Bob McKay, a tackle, wisecracked, "Damn it, Street, you can't throw the ball that far." But he could, in this case resulting in a 44-yard completion to tight end Randy Peschel. Two plays later, Texas scored and won, 15-14.
Nixon called it "one of the great games of all time" and awarded Texas the national championship, angering Penn State, another undefeated team. The 35-member board of coaches, the official arbiter of national championships, endorsed Nixon's judgment.
James Street became an instant legend in a state that has produced many of them. He went on to win the 1970 Cotton Bowl and a handshake from another notable Texan, President Lyndon B. Johnson. Mr. Street's record as a starting quarterback was 20-0, including two victories in the Cotton Bowl.
His son, Huston, a pitcher for the San Diego Padres, said his father died at his home in Austin, Texas. The cause has not been determined, Huston Street said, but he added that his father had been in good health.
James Lowell Street was born in Longview, Texas. At the University of Texas, he was a standout right-handed pitcher, compiling a 29-8 record and pitching a perfect game and another no-hitter. He was a member of three teams that advanced to the College World Series.
As a junior, he took over the quarterback job from the highly acclaimed Super Bill Bradley late in the Longhorns' loss to Texas Tech in the second game of the 1968 season. The team was making waves with its new wishbone formation in which a fullback lines up behind the quarterback and a step in front of the other backs.
"Coach Royal grabbed me and he looked for a minute as if he were having second thoughts about putting me in," Mr. Street said in 2012. "Then he looked me straight in the eye and said: 'Hell, you can't do any worse. Get in there.'"
Mr. Street's first marriage ended in divorce. In addition to his son Huston, he leaves his wife, the former Janie Pedro; four other sons, Ryan, Hanson, Juston, and Jordon; his brother, Sewell; his twin sister, Mary Krystenik; and four grandchildren.
Mr. Street never won a Heisman Trophy and was not drafted by a professional football team. He also never graduated, Huston Street said.
Mr. Street later owned a successful business that did financial planning for plaintiffs who won money in lawsuits.

Found this.
Modifying fat in our food (replacing some saturated (animal) fats with plant oils and unsaturated spreads) may reduce risk of heart and vascular disease, but it is not clear whether monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats are more beneficial. There are no clear health benefits of replacing saturated fats with starchy foods (reducing the total amount of fat we eat). Heart and vascular disease includes heart attacks, angina, strokes, sudden cardiovascular death and the need for heart surgery. Modifying the fat we eat seems to protect us better if we adhere in doing so for at least two years. It is not clear whether people who are currently healthy benefit as much as those at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (people with hypertension, raised serum lipids or diabetes for example) and people who already have heart disease, but the suggestion is that they would all benefit to some extent.
" may reduce risk of heart and vascular disease " Hardly sounds conclusive.
The research continues.

My name is Samuel (Sam) I've written many lines of VBScript I have some COBOL in my history as well. :rolleyes: I'm oblivious to C, Java, and Eclipse but I will learn quickly enough so that I'm not a complete pain ;)
I'm going through the Eclipse tutorial and hope to start some Java coding soon. I've bought up a couple books from the library book store the O'Reilly JavaScript and Java in a Nutshell. They are old editions but having a reference even old is helpful when starting a new language.
I work for a large corporation 30,000+ employee's, I have a Golden Retriever named Franky, and love the outdoors. I live in Minnesota, USA where I've learned to hunt mosquitoes :D big hungry mosquitoes :eek: Winter camping is nice there are no bugs for some reason.
I hope to learn enough about programming in Java in the next year or so to move from an application support role to a programming roll where I work. I'd also like to write some sort of program or be part of a project for the G1 phone. I have a G1 phone best thing sense sliced bread! I love the ability to tether to my laptop and get to the digital world from the dog park :cool:
Even if it's a game it would be fun, yes I like to play online games as well.
Well that's enough of an Intro... may be to much?

In another first for frozen-yogurt stalwart TCBY—and the fro-yo category as a whole—the brand is unleashing Silk Chocolate Almond, an almondmilk-based frozen-yogurt option.
Combining the brand's signature frozen yogurt with Silk's almondmilk, the product will be an indulgent, dairy-free product that the concept is calling "the perfect match."
Dustin Finkel, senior director for TCBY's parent company, Famous Brands International, says non-dairy alternatives are a hot commodity right now, with almondmilk becoming a must-try product. He adds that partnering with Silk, one of the leaders in the almondmilk category, was a natural fit.
"Almondmilk attracts both lactose-intolerant people, as well as health-conscious women who are looking for an alternative to dairy," he says. "So as we saw this opportunity to expand our market to a non-dairy platform, Silk seemed like the best partner out there as the leader in the non-dairy set."
With health-conscious women at the core of TCBY's customer base, Finkel says the new Silk Chocolate Almond product helps them serve this customer even more effectively.
"Obviously, frozen yogurt gets that benefit of being a better choice than ice cream, but we position ourself as a healthier alternative period—a permissible indulgence, so to speak—and our consumer really enjoys some of our current non-dairy offerings, like our sorbets," Finkel says. "But what we don't offer—and really no frozen-yogurt shop out there offers—is an indulgent non-dairy platform."
During blind taste tests in Fort Collins, Colorado, stores and at the brand's corporate headquarters unit in Denver—where it served guests Silk Chocolate Almond with 'Chocolate' on the flavor tag—Finkel says customers responded positively.
"We didn't hear any complaints," he says. "In fact, there was a lot of favorable comments about, 'Wow, this is a little different, but it tastes great. We like what you're doing with your chocolate flavors.' So we created a flavor that's not only going to be attractive to the alternative-dairy crowd, but with our average consumer, as well."
Considering that the brand spent more than a year developing what Finkel says was one of the most challenging products TCBY has ever created, the favorable tests come as good news.
"Non-dairy as a whole creates both texture and flavor issues, so we had to work through those," he says of the R&D process.
"Beyond that, it was really important for Silk and us to meet the Silk brand standards. They are non-GMO, use all-natural ingredients; they have a proprietary almond butter," Finkel adds. "All those factors, when it came to play, created additional challenges for our research and development team to make sure that we not only created the product, … but created an incredible-tasting product."
Not only did the brand appear on "Fox & Friends" this morning to launch the product and hand out samples, but TCBY is also introducing "The Perfect Match" sweepstakes on social media. Encouraging fans to post their idea of the perfect match on social media channels using the hashtag #TCBYPerfectMatch, the brand will give away a trip for two to a Caribbean destination of the winner's choice.
The sweepstakes runs through August 22. Weekly winners will receive iPad Minis, while daily winners will receive $25 TCBY gift cards.
The brand has yet to determine whether the product will be available after its original 12-week run or if additional flavors will be created. But no matter its future, Finkel says the product has already paid off for both TCBY and Silk.
"It's two brands not looking to play off each other," he says. "It's two brands really linking hands together, understanding that this is an opportunity for Silk to get their brand out there in a way that they've never done before beyond the dairy side, and it's an opportunity for us to meet the needs of our consumer."

I am most pleased to see an almond milk option added. Unlike dairy, almond milk does not cause animals to suffer and die which is a pretty ugly thing to do for one's own eating pleasure.

Thank you for offering a vegan choice. I hope that you will continue to offer this and many more vegan options as well. Haven't had yogurt since I became vegan 3 years ago. Looking forward to this.

Ms. Linda handled my personal injury case. I hired her over a year ago to handle my case from a car accident. I had never needed a Lawyer for an accident and didn't know who to go to. A friend of mine gave me a list of lawyers close to my home and work and I looked at the list and didn't know who to chose and so I prayed on it for a few days. I selected Ms. Linda and I'm glad I did. She worked diligently on my case, anytime she need information from me, she let me know what she needed and when. If I had questions she would answer and explain to me, she's a caring, repsectful and professional lady. She told me what she would do in my case and she did just that. I would recommend her to family and friends if they needed a Lawyer. Thanks Ms. Linda!!

I began working with Ms Dankman in 1978 when she helped me to write incorporation papers for a 501-c-3 organization I was forming to provide mental health services. She remained my attorney for the business until I retired in 2004. Over the course of many years she helped with legal issues that arose for the business that included: issues with government contracting, employment/labor issues, lawsuits and disputes, liability issues, and human resource issues. I always found her to be extremely responsive. I especially appreciated that she gave me her best legal advise but in the end deferred to me as the client responsible for the ultimate decisions for my organization. I also appreciated that when she felt I would be better represented in a matter by someone else that she would provide me with that information together with linkages and referrals. She always followed up on those referrals. I was always able to trust her. In my personal life I engaged with her to help me when I went through a divorce after 20 years of marriage. She helped me through this difficult transition in my personal life, helping me with important decisions at a time when I was extremely vulnerable. I recommend Ms Dankman very highly!

Linda did an OUTSTANDING job for my family when my grandfather passed. She's communicative, caring and a complete professional. As an attorney, I know she is very respected by her legal peers. I trust her and will access her legal expertise for all of my and my family's probate needs.

'We were referred to Linda when our cousin, Joy, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. Linda helped us get conservatorship for Joy and referred us to a Fiduciary to help with the finances. Since Joy was in the hospital and rehab facilities in Sacramento and we lived in Richmond and had to commute, she made our job so much easier. Linda was alway available to answer questions, take care of court dates. Linda was efficient, pleasant to deal with and a blessing.

When my aunt Lucy died, her will was very clear- giving everything to my mother. Mom had also died, but she gave everything to my two sisters and me. My husbsnd and I had provided care for Lucy for 4 years in our home. Lucy and I were the only 2 family members to live in Califoria. When Lucy died she was living in a very upscale nursing home in Missouri. The Missouri attorny, for some reason decided her will would not be honored in Missouri, even though it had been properly witnessed by 3 Pasadena residents. This meant that her will would be divided into 18 pieces unless the 3 signatures could be verified. Unfortunately those 3 people had also died and had moved all over the US. Linda Dankman was able to verify all 3 signatures. Thank you Linda.

Ms. Dankman represents me in a Conservatorship matter. She is an experienced, knowledgeable, and competent attorney who is well connected in the probate field. She knows the ins and outs of our local court system and resolves legal problems with a common sense attitude that minimizes court time and legal fees. Her fees are very reasonable give her experience and competence.

I have hired Linda on two separate occasions, both involving life insurance policy disputes. The first time she represented me I was the designated beneficiary to a large policy that the insurance company was attempting to pay, but the family of the deceasaed stepped in and wanted it all. Linda went to battle for me and used her knowledge of the law and a no-nonsense approach to resolve the conflict. It took over a year to finally get the money I was entitled to. Linda kept me well informed and up to date throughout the entire process. She also took the time to ensure I understood what was happening and clearly explained everything I didn't . Linda was always very honest about her assessment of each situation we encountered and I always felt like she was steering everything in the right direction.
I recently became involved in another life insurance policy dispute that is currently on-going. As soon as I found out what was going on I knew exactly who to call. I wouldn't trust the services of any other attorney with this matter after all Linda Dankman did for me the last time I went through this. It's unfortunate to have to deal with this repeat scenario, but the "silver lining" to this dark cloud is that Linda is on my side and I trust that she will again resolve this dispute as before. Thank you Linda for giving 110% !

As an employee of the ACLU, I work some of the nation's most talented attorneys. I understand how difficult it is to find a good attorney and I feel so fortunate that I hired Linda Dankman. I have been very pleased with Ms. Dankman's services. Ms. Dankman is very knowledgeable in mulitiple areas of the law. She represented me in my divorce case and handled my personal injury case. She always kept me informed and was very clear about what she needed from me and when. She worked dilligently with doctors and multiple insurance companies to get the best settlement in my personal injury case without going to court. She also handled my divorce case efficiently and professionally which was important since I was very young and emotional at the time. She was very responsive to all my questions as was her staff. They always returned my calls and emails. I would definately recommend her to anyone who needs a strong, no nonsense attorney. If I ever need an attorney again in the future, I will call Ms. Dankman without hesitation.
Posted by Phillip
She is the strongest Lawyer in Sacramento. I found her to be fair and trustworthy with me and I have used her in both small and large matters. Her personality is some times mater of fact and can come across as abrasive, but I find this with a lot of people that have extremely high IQ'S.
I would trust her with any matter without question!
She has never lost a case for me "NEVER."

Overcoming challenges. The considerable benefit of mobile-based payments compared to online is the purchaser is actually present while making the transaction. Churchgoers can use their device after services to make a donation; they don't need to wait until they return home. But they can also donate while at the park, or waiting for the train, the immediacy of the mobile payments encourages people to donate at their leisure.

Tiger Presents New Opportunities for Developers | |
Subject: | Universal Portable Laptop | |
Date: | 2004-11-24 13:51:48 | |
From: | Alan27 | |
I can find no perfect portable that will essentially do almost anything. I wondered about the Powerbook G4 with Virtual PC 7. How well will this work? Any experience out there! Can you access a modern high-speed wireless internet network with the Sierra/Verizon card for example? How does performance degrade under Virtual PC. How fast is switching from one environment to another - PC to OS X and back? I suspect you will have to wait for a Powerbook G5 to make all this happen very well. There is also the issue that this ultimate laptop will cost more than buying a good PC laptop and a decent Powerbook without the additonal memory and software required to run Virtual PC really well. The grahpics card would have to be very good for a portable and decent battery life would be necesssary also. Digital audio/video interfaces are not commonly available on good laptop PCs - I would like both inputs and outputs withotu boxes or dongles/breakout/converters/splitters. |
