(UPDATED COVERAGE, July 22) As a recall of stone fruit from Wawona Packing Co. expanded to Canada, the California company responded to consumers" questions, explaining that an Australian importer"s discovery of minute levels of listeria on three peaches spurred the international recall.
The Cutler, Calif.-based company recalled conventional and organic peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots July 19, according to a notice on the Food and Drug Administration website. The fruit was shipped from June 10 through July 12. Canada"s Food Inspection Agency posted its recall notice July 21.
No illnesses have been reported in relation to the recalled fruit.
"Because we do not know the locations of the companies that purchased the products from our direct customers, the company is issuing a nationwide recall," according to the U.S. recall notice.
Wawona president Brent Smittcamp said July 21 it was still unclear how the listeria monocytogenes contamination may have occurred.
Retailers and wholesalers across Canada and the U.S. received the fruit, which was packed under a variety of brands, including Wawona"s Sweet 2 Eat and Harvest Sweet labels. Wawona spokeswoman Amy Philpott said the company was harvesting and shipping before the recall, but she wasn"t sure for how long.
Some retailers, including Costco, Wegman"s and Dierberg"s issued their own recalls. Other retailers known to have received the fruit include Trader Joe"s, BJ"s and Sam"s Club. The fruit is packed in bags, boxes and clamshells, as well as bulk lots. Some of the fruit was exported.
"On July 10 an Australian importer notified Wawona Packing that it had detected within tolerance levels of listeria monocytogenes on three of (Wawona"s) peaches," according to a statement from Wawona officials that quoted Australian food standards.
Australia, like many other countries, allows for low levels of listeria because levels of less than 100 colony forming units per gram of food "do not present a public risk," Wawona officials said in the July 21 statement. The peaches that tested positive in Australia had less than 10 units per gram, according to the Wawona statement.
"Because the (FDA) has a zero-tolerance for listeria monocytogenes, upon being notified by Australia, Wawona Packing immediately retained a reputable, private laboratory to test both the Wawona Packing physical plant as well as product," according to the company"s statement.
"While waiting for the confirmed test results, the compamy stopped production and performed extra cleaning and sanitization measures and conducted more tests. All test results taken after this process have been negative."
The lab did find listeria on two peaches and one nectarine among the product Wawona had it check. However, when the lab tested other pieces of fruit from the same boxes, all of it was negative for listeria, according to the Wawona statement.
Wawona is maintaining its normal production levels by using outside facilities in the area, Smittcamp said.
The complete list of more than 900 block identification numbers included in the recall is attached to the recall notice.

Looking more like a radio-controlled toy than the product of a carmaker's design studio, Renault has taken its electric urban mini car and combined it with the company's F1 heritage to create the Twizy Renault Sport F1 concept car Twizy is an electric vehicle closest matched to something like the Smart car. Its compact dimensions are aimed at city users who make short journeys through tightly packed streets.
Pairing with F1 technology doesn't come easy, yet it sports exposed slick tires from a Formula Renault 2.0 single-seater on center-lock wheels, a huge front spoiler and rear wing, rear diffuser element, and even an F1-style rain light between the rear wheels taken from a Formula Renault 3.5.
However, Renault is keen to point out it's more than just a visual concept. It actually has a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), said to be identical to that on the Renault-powered Formula One cars. The system can boost output six times, reaching a crazy 100hp for 13sec and propelling the car 0-62mph in about 6sec.
The concept is equipped with the production Twizy's original 17hp electric motor, onto which the KERS has been grafted to boost performance. When activated, power climbs instantly to 97hp.
Extracting the extra power wasn't straightforward because the Twizy Renault Sport F1 isn't as fast as an F1 car, so its kinetic energy recovery under deceleration would be insufficient to charge the KERS battery. Therefore, the engineers at Renault Sport Technologies and Renault Sport F1 developed a system that siphons power from the main motor to charge KERS.
Using the steering wheel from a Formula Renault 3.5 racecar, the driver can select two modes. The first is Recovery mode, which allows the electric motor to function like a generator, drawing power from the main motor and converting it into electrical energy. The in Boost mode, the recovered energy can be used whenever the driver presses a button on the steering wheel, reversing the process and delivering approximately 80hp.
Furthermore, the amount of energy recovered while the Recovery mode can be adjusted using a four-position rotary knob, while a second rotary knob enables the Boost mode to be set at one of six pre-set levels, ranging from 10-60kW.
The driver releases the energy stored by the KERS by activating the two steering wheel-mounted paddles at the same time. To show spectators that the system has been activated, the rain light in the diffuser illuminates.
Twizy Renault Sport F1 will be shown at major events throughout the year, beginning with its first public appearances at the World Series by Renault meeting at Aragon, Spain (April 27-28), followed by the Barcelona Auto Show.

Ridgefield beats Stamford
RIDGEFIELD -- For a week, the Stamford High School football team anxiously awaited the chance at its biggest early-season game in recent memory.
But it became apparent at the outset on Friday night that the Black Knights' program is still ascending, while Ridgefield validated its position as a legitimate postseason contender.
Despite the absence of starting quarterback Connor Rowe, Ridgefield scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter before coasting to a 24-7 win at Tiger Hollow.
"It was great," said running back Sam Gravitte, one of the primary reasons for the Tigers' success. "We were down our starting quarterback and it didn't change anything. We were able to get some push and exploit some holes in their secondary."
Rowe watched the game from the sideline, wearing a hoodie and khaki pants. Ridgefield coach Kevin Callahan said Rowe was benched "for a violation of team rules."
The Ridgefield players found out at their team pasta party on Thursday night that Rowe would miss the game.
Callahan simplified the offense early to help replacement Ryan Dunn's confidence, which was boosted by the Tigers' ability to turn short passes into long plays and poor Stamford tackling.
"We tried to get him out early, throw some screens or shallow crossing routes so he could feel good about himself," Callahan said. "The theme around here is the next man in the program. The kid did a great job. He was playing freshmen football a year ago."
Dunn threw touchdown passes to three different receivers in the first half. Stamford, which looked so dominant a week ago in a 48-7 win over Norwalk, appeared a step slow, and had difficulty containing the Tigers' deep arsenal of threats that made Dunn's debut less stressful.
Leading the way for Ridgefield -- again -- was Gravitte. A week after scoring the first four touchdowns in a win against Fairfield Ludlowe, Gravitte's 29-yard run set up Ridgefield's second score, a 16-yard reception by John Mullery for a 14-0 early in the second quarter.
After Stamford came back on a 17-yard scoring pass from Tyler Kane to Jake Bivona, the Tigers answered right back, with a nifty move by Gravitte, turning a short pass into a 30-yard touchdown. Gravitte then added a 29-yard field goal in the final minute of the half.
Gravitte had 76 yards receiving and 40 yards rushing in the half.
Will Bonaparte did all the work on the Tigers' first scoring drive, accounting for all 51 yards, the final 25 of which when he converted a swing pass into a touchdown.
Stamford had plenty of chances in the second half to get back in the game but was unable to capitalize.
There were two interceptions of Dunn and running back Cameron Webb had a 23-yard run on a fake punt. But Stamford quarterback Tyler Kane also threw a goal-line interception and the offense bogged down despite dominating time of possession in the second half.
"It was turnovers that just killed us and we didn't tackle really well," Hocter said. "I think our kids were maybe a little in awe of their speed. They're a good team."
Webb finished with 19 carries for 127 yards, but even he was not mistake free. At the end of a 29-yard run on the first play of the second half he fumbled and the Tigers' recovered.
"We thought they were most effective running the ball and that's what we had to take away," Callahan said.

The other federal money shoe dropped on Monday when Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled the state's plan for allocating the federal money that is coming to the states through the block grant program that was approved by Congress earlier this year.
Under the governor's guidelines, Barnum Island, Oceanside, Island Park and Harbor Isle will share $25 million in funding.
Long Beach will get $25 million in funding as well.
Allocations for other south shore communities range from the $25 million high to a low of $3 million for Atlantic Beach.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has unveiled the Community Reconstruction Zones (CRZ) program, a bottom-up, community driven initiative that will empower localities that were severely damaged by Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, or Tropical Storm Lee to develop comprehensive and innovative local rebuilding plans that will be funded by the state and federal government. The program will be funded by Federal Supplemental disaster aid fought for by Governor Cuomo and approved by Congress and signed by the President earlier this year.
"Communities across New York, from Long Island to Binghamton to Essex County, suffered incredible damage and loss from the wrath of the major storms that have hit our state over the past two years," Governor Cuomo said. "The Community Reconstruction Zone program we are launching today will empower localities to put together a team of local officials, residents and leaders who know their communities best to develop rebuilding plans that will guide the local recovery process. With the State's assistance, these communities will identify their needs and risks, as well as identify ways to strengthen their resiliency for the future. Under this plan, New York is not just doing reconstruction work – we are building back better and smarter than before."
The Action Plan submitted by Governor Cuomo to the federal government in April will guide the allocation of the initial $1.7 billion in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program funding. Under the CRZ program, New York State will allocate federal planning grants approved by HUD to localities to develop comprehensive, innovative rebuilding plans – from the bottom up – that consider current damage, future threats, and the community's economic opportunities. The amounts ultimately allocated to communities will be based on damage assessed by FEMA and the population and will be awarded for projects and activities approved by HUD once the community's plan is complete and meets established criteria. For most communities, grants will range from $3 million to $25 million if approved. Eligible communities will be provided with initial planning grants to produce CRZ plans.
New York State Senate Co-Leader Dean G. Skelos said, "Today's announcement is another important step in helping the thousands of families affected by Hurricane Sandy and other major storms rebuild their homes and reclaim their lives. I commend the Governor for his determination in ensuring that New Yorkers get the help they need and deserve, and thank Secretary Donovan and the administration for standing with New York as we continue to recover from these catastrophic storms."
Senate Majority Coalition Co-Leader Jeff Klein said, "The Community Reconstruction Zone program is a smart approach that will enable local communities to develop comprehensive and community-specific plans for their current and future needs. With so many reconstruction and preparation projects in the pipeline, it's important that we continue to identify innovative, locally-driven initiatives that maximize the use of limited storm recovery dollars. Sandy victims throughout the Bronx, New York City, Rockland County, and Long Island have reason to cheer today, as the release of $1.7 billion in CDBG grants is going to help businesses and homeowners rebuild better and stronger than ever before. I commend Governor Cuomo and my partners in government for continuing to develop and support smart programs that will help build a stronger and more resilient New York State."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said, "Local residents and officials know best where the most urgent needs are in their own communities. By empowering the people on the ground, we are making sure that our recovery from these devastating storms is carried out smartly, effectively and in a way that will provide the most help to the most people. In my own Lower Manhattan community, where many small businesses, particularly at the South Street Seaport and in Chinatown, have been wiped out by Superstorm Sandy, I have been working with community leaders and local residents to identify ways to fully rebuild and protect against future catastrophes. I want to thank Governor Cuomo for his efforts in helping our city and state recover. I also want to thank U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan, who as a New Yorker understands first-hand the problems we face."
To develop its plan, each community will convene a CRZ Planning Committee, which will include a representative from the County, Town or Village, elected legislative representatives, local residents, and local community, academic and business leaders. The development of a successful plan will qualify a community to receive further federal funding to implement identified projects. The State will conduct workshops to help the Planning Committees develop their plans.

Beta Blockers are a type of medicine used to lower blood pressure, treat chest pain (angina) and heart failure, and to help prevent a heart attack.
Beta blockers relieve the stress on your heart by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force with which your heart muscles contract to pump blood. They also help keep blood vessels from constricting in your heart, brain, and body. If you have a heart attack, you should get a prescription for a beta blocker before you leave the hospital.

Chair Taylor will ask for approval of the minutes.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the Chair's Report.
Joannie Newton be arriving late, but when she does come we would like to take a fifteen minute break to get a group photo of the Board. This will be the first time we will have all of the trustees together. The photo shoot is set up in another room and the photographer knows we can't spend a lot of time on this.
President Delaney will address the Board and present the President's Report.
John will be referencing the Miami of Ohio document. This went out to the Board as an email attachment and is in their packet.
The purpose of this discussion is to address the hiring of an outside consultant to evaluate the President and the Board at the end of this academic year.
The suggestion from the Board was to hire a consultant through AGB (Association of Governing Boards) to evaluate the President and Board's performance.
The purpose of this discussion is to review the President's goals.
Both the Chair and President have worked on these. They reflect the recommendations made by the Board. They follow the evaluation format developed by the Board.
The purpose of this discussion is to address the President's involvement in public policy and political issues.
This is the issue that Chip raised, but it also has implications concerning John's ability to connect with and influence public policy.
The purpose of this discussion is to address the governance bill for higher education.
Janet will set the stage on this issue. It starts with the governance bill but also includes questions about (a) how to get the system to act as a system as opposed to 11 independent institutions and (b) the relationships among the institutions, the BOG and the Legislature.
The purpose of this discussion is to address the approach to identify potential Board nominees.
The Governor appoints 6 trustees, the Board of Governors appoints 5 trustees, and 2 are ex officio (Faculty Association and Student Government). The issue at hand is how we influence the selection process and how we choose our recommendations to the BOG and to the Governor.
The purpose of this discussion is to address merit scholarships.
Board members have questioned if we need merit scholarships if the State funds Bright Futures Scholarships. We will need these to attract and keep bright students in Jacksonville. They have also proven to increase retention rates.
Other Board members have been concerned about having adequate need-based scholarships. We have data on how much we are currently offering and how much of the known need is being covered.

It's been an important week for Russian energy giant Gazprom's bid to strengthen its hold on oil and gas markets.
After withholding 50 percent of Ukraine's gas supplies in a brief dispute last week, Gazprom on Thursday struck a deal that cuts out middlemen and gives it more access to the ex-Soviet country's industrial gas customers. But while putting the squeeze on Ukraine, Gazprom also felt new pressure from increasingly bold Central Asian states, whose energy resources are being sought by the US, Europe, and China, as well as Russia.
Facing the heightened competition, Gazprom agreed to pay European prices for gas from key energy partners Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. Although it could result in lower revenues for Gazprom, experts say Russia has effectively bought control of Central Asian exports.
"Russia will maintain its control on gas supplies even though its profit will go down," says Sergey Smirnov, energy expert from the Expert Kazakhstan journal. "All other alternative routes that are on paper today become unreal."
The deal is likely to affect Europe most, which analysts say will face higher prices. In addition, the European Union is likely to find less receptivity now from Central Asian states for a proposed Trans-Caspian pipeline that would diversify energy supplies from Russia.
"High import prices can force Russia to raise export of its own gas," says Mikhail Krutikhin of Russian Energy, a consultancy firm in Moscow.
Ukraine, particularly, may be in the worst situation as most of its imported gas comes through Russia from Turkmenistan, which is likely to raise its gas prices from the current $130 to $150 per 1,000 cubic meters (tcm) to $250 to $350 tcm.
Russia's role as sole exporter
Because all operational pipelines in Central Asia date to the Soviet era, all gas exports go through Russia. Russia has effectively used this position to dictate prices to ex-Soviet states. Just two years ago Russia was buying Turkmen gas at $65 per tcm and sold it to European countries at $250 to 300 per tcm.
Such price inequalities drove Central Asian nations to seek alternative gas export routes – a task not difficult when China and the West were looking to diversify energy supplies away from Russia and the Middle East.
In the past few years, the United States and EU intensified their attempts to convince Central Asian states to deliver its gas straight to Europe via a Trans-Caspian pipeline, bypassing Russia. High-profile US delegations and EU energy officials became frequent visitors to Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, which claims it has up to 24 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves, though no independent assessment is available.
Europe, which worries that its dependence on Russia's energy supplies can be used by Moscow for political purposes, hopes to receive up to 30 billion cubic meters (bcm) of Turkmen gas annually if the project is implemented. It would be transported from the Caspian region, where Turkmenistan claims the largest gas reserves, to Turkey and then Europe via the proposed Nabucco pipeline. Only one link in the planned route is complete – the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzrum line, which runs from Azerbaijan to Turkey. All other routes exist only on paper.
In addition, some analysts argue that a Trans-Caspian pipeline will lose its economic incentive in the eyes of Central Asian states – especially since they locked in higher prices from Russia on Tuesday.
"It will cross eight countries and each country will charge for transit," says Mr. Smirnov. "Why would Central Asians need this route when they can ship [their] gas directly to Russia and make the same profit without much hassle?"
The Nabucco pipeline project that is aimed to diversify European energy supplies and make less dependent on Russia, will suffer from this deal as well. Mr. Krutikhin claims that without the Trans-Caspian pipeline, Europe will struggle to get enough gas to fill the pipe.
"Azerbaijan ships to Turkey a maximum of up to 6 bcm of gas. Iran can give maximum 10 bcm a year, but a recent gas crisis there shows that they also need gas for domestic use. Egypt has neither enough reserves nor serious plans to ship gas to Turkey." Thus, Nabucco is ultimately dependent on Turkmen gas, summarizes Krutikhin.
New deal for Chinese pipeline
Unlike the Trans-Caspian and Nabucco projects, the Chinese pipeline is already being implemented. Last year Turkmenistan agreed to ship 30 billion cubic meters of gas to China starting in 2009. Construction started in August 2007. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan also joined this project and plan to ship their gas to China via this pipeline.
This project is a major blow to Russian influence in the Central Asian energy sector. For the first time, Central Asian nations will gain access to energy markets without being dependent on Russia.
Russia thus had little choice but to compromise and agree to new prices.

10 Hottest 'Game of Thrones' Girls
See these beautiful women in this picture? They're from the epic fantasy/drama series, 'Game of Thrones.' And speaking of fantasies, the lovely ladies you see before you are the some of the most attractive that you'll find this side of the Narrow Sea. We've searched high and low across the great continents of Westeros and Essos to bring you the 10 Hottest Game of Thrones Girls, all in one convenient list. And for those who haven't watched the show, there might a few SPOILERS BELOW.
- 10
Roxanne McKeePlays Doreah the Handmaiden
We start off with English actress and model Roxanne, who plays Doreah, one of Daenerys Targaryen's handmaidens and a former bedslave. After the events of the first season, she and and the rest of the Dothraki follow the Mother of Dragons around on her quest to retake her home. Unfortunately, she ends up betraying Daenerys and gets her dragons taken away. She gets her just desserts after she's found in bed with the enemy.
In addition to her modelling career, Roxanne also starred in a British soap opera called 'Hollyoaks' as Louise Summers.
- 9
Carice van HoutenPlays Melisandre
Known by some as the "Red Woman," Melisandre is a priestess who worships the one true god and serves Stannis Baratheon in more ways than one. Some say that she has him under her thrall, but all she wouldn't need a magic spell to get us to do her bidding.
Actress Carice van Houten is a Dutch actress and singer who's had roles in films such as 'Valkyrie,' 'Repo Men' and 'Black Death.' She also released an album called 'See You on the Ice' in 2012.
- 8
Oona ChaplinPlays Talisa Stark, née Maegyr
Talisa is a healer who is tasked with tending to the wounded in battle while Robb Stark wages war against the other armies. She ends up falling in love with the King in the North and secretly marries him, though he's already arranged to marry another woman. Of course, this causes many complications and results in one of the most famous scenes in the book and the show.
Oona Chaplin is a Spanish-born dancer and actress who is also the granddaughter of the famed Charlie Chaplin. She's starred in many short films, television shows and feature length films and is set to appear in a series called 'The Ark' in 2014 on BBC One.
- 7
Rose LesliePlays Ygritte
Next on our 10 Hottest Game of Thrones Girls is Rose Leslie as Ygritte. This wild girl is from north of the Wall and is as badass and crazy as she seems. Though her initial meeting with Jon Snow wasn't the best, their mutual attraction eventually led to the pair becoming an item, at least for a while.
Rose Leslie is a Scottish actress who starred in the first season of 'Downton Abbey' as Gwen. Though she might play a wild woman in 'Game of Thrones,' Rose is actually descended from a family of Scottish nobles. Go figure.
- 6
Esme BiancoPlays Ros
Ros is one of the most beautiful prostitutes in 'Game of Thrones.' Her looks allowed her to leave the frosty reaches of Winterfell and settle in King's Landing, where she ends up working for Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish in his brothel.
Esme Bianco is an English actress, model and neo-burlesque performer. She's had roles in many different films and is set to star in a film called 'Living Among Us' as a character named Elleanor.
- 5
Natalie DormerPlays Margaery Tyrell
Margaery Tyrell is the lone daughter of House Tyrell, a family of nobles in the Seven Kingdoms. Though she is young, she's very learned in the ways of politics and intrigue thanks to her grandmother, Lady Olenna Redwyne. In other words, she knows how to play the game.
Natalie Dormer is perhaps best known for her previous role as Anne Boleyn in Showtime's 'The Tudors.' She recently guest-starred on 'Elementary' as Irene Adler. On top of acting in film, she also performs in theatrical shows.
- 4
Sibell KekilliPlays Shae
Shae is a lovely prostitute who falls in love with Tryion Lannister and starts a hidden romance with him. After he brings her to King's Landing, she serves as handmaiden to the young Sansa Stark. Though she's a servant, she acts as a mentor and confidant to Sansa.
Sibel Kekilli is of German descent and got her big break in 2002 when she won the leading part in a movie called 'Head-On.' Since then, she's gone on to star in a number of films and has won awards for her acting. Before her big break, she performed in a few adult films under the name "Dilara." When news of this broke out, it caused a bit of a public scandal. Thankfully, she's bounced back and now plays our favorite whore with a heart of gold.
- 3
Lena HeadeyPlays Cersei Lannister
What can we say about Cersei Lannister that hasn't already been said? While she might take the phrase "keeping it in the family" a little too car, this noblewoman only cares about keeping her son happy and safe, even if he is a power-mad psychopath. She is also a very powerful player when it comes to political intrigue, so don't let her charms fool you.
Lena Headey is no stranger to powerful roles, having starred as the titular character in 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles' and Queen Gorgo in '300.' This English actress has no shortage of roles and is one of the most gorgeous 40-year-olds on the planet.
- 2
Emilia ClarkePlays Daenerys Targaryen
Daenerys Targaryen starts off as a meek girl full of naivete in the series and gradually gets stronger and more confident as she faces trial after trial. She's known as the Mother of Dragons and has the ability to command her three dragon hatchlings.
Emilia Clarke is a Berkshire-born actress who's had roles both on the screen and on the stage. She recently played Holly Golightly in a production of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and voiced Dr. Zoidberg's love interest in an episode of 'Futurama.'
- 1
Natalia TenaPlays Osha
And the number one spot in our 10 Hottest Game of Thrones Girls list goes to Natalia Tena, who plays Osha. This Wildling woman was captured by Robb Stark and made to work in the kitchens. She ends up befriending Bran and Rickon Stark and even escorts them to the Wall when Winterfell is sacked by Theon Greyjoy.
You might know Natalia best as Nymphadora Tonks, the appearance-changing witch in the 'Harry Potter' film series. On top of her acting career, Natalia also plays in a band as the lead singer of Molotov Jukebox. Not only does she have a killer, dangerous punk rock look about her, but she can also play a mean accordion.

When a student said to me that Sanchin felt like being crammed into a box I was shocked, it was like getting slapped across the face.(but was a good topic starter )
I see people practicing kata like that all the time, contorting themselves to fit the pattern, I see it with Sanchin I see it with lots of kata, I see it in lots of styles.
It was this kind of conformity and rigidity that coined the term robot ryu in some circles I travelled , it was the exact thing I'd spent so many years getting away from , it's one of the reasons I was drawn to Sanchin in the first place .
I see Sanchin as liberating , as explorative , as a neutral and mindful pursuit , Sanchin to me taught me all the balance refinement and mechanics to explore movement in general , the battle was never in fitting the kata , but in finding my balance , the simplicity of the kata , versus the complexity of the practitioner .
Experience taught me in Sanchin that deviation from the form was not from a flawed pattern, but from a lack of balance, elbows deviated, knees twisted, balance shifted not from an incorrect mimicry of form, but from an unbalanced emphasis of movement.
The relationship of Sanchin, the relativity, the yin/yang, the balance, the harmonies, however you wish to address it, it was never a question of correcting a movement but finding the compliment to balance the action and remain centred.
If it moves back something must project forward, forward back, over under, up down
As the movement becomes complimentary, it becomes internal, you approach efficiency you generate more from less.
Two lines of force, always joining to one, each move having two expressions, combining to a whole.
To get smaller you add you don't take away , as the balance of action develops you find yourself in the middle, as you develop your centre the use of the whole body makes the movements smaller easier , and you find the place all movement originates. This often looks like less but is when done correctly the result of more.
Every Sanchin should be different, there is no box to fit in, there is no limitation to how you move IMHO, the only question to my mind is my movement neutral, is every effort balanced, am I complementing my motions.
Kata is the part of martial arts that is introspective, it's to me the part where you learn yourself, you develop proprioception and kinaesthetic awareness, and you address your pre-conceptions (both mentally and physically) and discover yourself.
You can conform to the pattern, you can force yourself into the box, you can add more effort, more muscle more force, and you can work the external strength, but the route to efficiency on top of attributes (which can be developed many other ways IMHO) is to find your balance, your efficiency.
So one doesn't IMHO squeeze oneself into Sanchin, but finds oneself out of Sanchin.

Professor Todd R Kaplan
Professor of Economics
+44 (0) 1392 723237
Streatham Court, University of Exeter, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4PU, UK
Professor Todd Kaplan has been a faculty member since 2000. Before that, he was a lecturer at Ben-Gurion University. He has received grants from the Nuffield Foundation, British Academy, ESRC, Leverhulme Foundation and the Israeli Science Foundation. He was a co-winner for the Economics Network 2009 e-learning award for developing teaching resources in a grant from HEFCE. His current duties include being the co-director of FEELE laboratory for experimental economics.
Nationality: USA / Israel
Administrative responsibilities
- Co-Director, The FEELE laboratory
BS (Caltech), MA (Minnesota), PhD (Minnesota)
Research clusters
Research interests
- Economic theory
- Industrial organisation
- Experimental economics
Professor Kaplan has diverse research interests that span theoretical, computational and experimental economics. His theoretical work includes research on price competition, cost sharing and patent races.
In price competition, he re-examines the classic Bertrand competition model (Spanish Economic Review) and shows that the standard textbook example is wrong since it overlooks other equilibria. Another paper shows that seemingly competitive policies, such as agreeing to match a competitor's price, are in fact very anticompetitive (International Journal of Industrial Organization, 2000).
When a group shares a common production function, they must decide how to divide the costs. For instance, if two friends want to share a pizza, how do they divide the costs. This is not so easy since they must also decide what size of pizza to order and a poor rule may cause them to overspend or underspend. Todd has two publications on this topic, one in International Economic Review and the other in Journal of Mathematical Economics.
He has modelled patent races as a contest, where on the first to invent wins but all still have to pay for their research. In his model, the value of the patent varies with the expense since an earlier innovation date is worth more to the winner. He has written three papers investigating this design in the Journal of Industrial Economics (2002), International Journal of Industrial Organization (2003) and in RAND (2008).
Todd has made earlier contributions to the computational field. He has published a paper in the Mathematica Journal and two chapters in a best-selling book edited by Hal Varian. Probably his best known work is what is known as the 'Kaplan' strategy. This was a simple computer strategy that was written to compete in a double auction, a well studied environment in experimental economics which is a simplified environment of a stock exchange. It won a well advertised tournament sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute. Recently, with the introduction of computerised agents acting on the internet, this research has had a resurgence of interest.
Research projects
Professor Kaplan currently has a research grant from the Nuffield Foundation for studying bidding behaviour in asymmetric auctions. He is the supervisor of Pricilla Marimo, who is studying the communication of climate change risk.

From Laurence Freeman OSB, "Letter Twelve," WEB OF SILENCE (London: DLT, 1996), pp. 132-134.
Anyone who has ever sat down to be still immediately engages the first level of consciousness a little below the immediate surface of the mind's daily functioning awareness.
It is a rude awakening to the degree of indiscipline and restlessness in our monkey minds. St Teresa compared it to a ship whose crew has mutinied, tied up the captain and is chaotically taking turns to steer the ship. Some days may be better than others in terms of distractedness but even that only proves how wayward our surface mind is, how dependent on external conditions, how uncentered we are. . . ..
"Therefore I bid you put away anxious thoughts about food and drink to keep you alive, and clothes to cover your body. Surely life is more than food, the body more than clothes" (Matthew 6:26). We aim to be in the present moment, which is the only moment of reality, of encounter with the God who is "I Am." Yet within seconds we are thinking thoughts of yesterday, making plans for tomorrow or weaving daydreams and wish-fulfillment in the realm of fantasy. "Set your mind on God's kingdom and his justice before everything else, and all the rest will come to you as well. So do not be anxious about tomorrow, tomorrow will look after itself" (Matthew 6:33). [. . . .]
The discovery of our surface distractions is humbling. So it helps to remember that it is a universal discovery--why else did John Cassian recommend the mantra (he called it a "formula") sixteen hundred years ago? . . . . At this discovery it is easy to be discouraged and to turn away from meditation. "It is not my kind of spirituality. I am not the discipline kind of person. Why should my prayer time be another time for work?"
What we need above all at this . . .stage is an insight into the meaning of meditation and the thirst arising from a deeper level of consciousness from the one we seem stuck at. It is here right at the outset, therefore, that we encounter, although we may not yet recognize it as such, the prompting of grace. It comes from outside us in the form of teaching, tradition, spiritual friendship and inspiration. From within, it comes as the intuitive thirst for deeper experience. Christ, who as Spirit is no more within us that outside us, seems to push from outside and pull from within.
It helps to understand clearly from the beginning what is the meaning and purpose of the mantra. It is not a magic wand that blanks the mind or a switch that turns on God, but a discipline, "beginning in faith and ending in love," which brings us into poverty of spirit. We do not say the mantra to fight off the distractions but to help us remove our attention from them. Simply discovering that we are, however poorly, free to place our attention elsewhere is the first great awakening. It is the beginning of the deepening of consciousness, which allows to leave the distractions on the surface, like waves on the surface of the ocean.
Meditate for Thirty Minutes. Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention – with humility and simplicity to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, from Ken Wilber, "The Self in Transcendence," NO BOUNDARY (Boston: Shambhala, 1985), p. 129.
If you persist at such an exercise, the understanding contained in it will quicken and you might begin to notice fundamental changes in your sense of "self." . . .This . . ."center of the cyclone," will retain its lucid stillness even amid the raging winds of anxiety and suffering that might swirl around its center. The discovery of this witnessing center is very much like diving from the calamitous waves on the surface of a stormy ocean to the quiet and secure depths of the bottom. At first you might not get more than a few feet beneath the agitated waves of emotion, but with persistence you may gain the ability to dive fathoms into the quiet depths of your soul, and lying out-stretched at the bottom, gaze in alert but detached fashion at the turmoil that once held you transfixed.

A while ago we brought you the first of what will likely be an off-day tradition, using the Diamond Mines exhibit at the Hall of Fame to highlight a former Astro's scouting reports. Previously, we looked at Craig Biggio's scouting reports. Up next: Jeff Bagwell.
Padres scout Donald Labossiere on April 21, 1989:
All his coaches including High School have nothing but nice things to say about him and his work ethic...Does not impress you immediately, has to be seen a couple of times. Below ave. runner and range...Is the best everyday player in New England. He told me he wants to sign a Pro contract, and begin his career.
Labossiere, June and July 1989:
Defensively he is an adequate 3B with a good arm when he needs it...Will be Best everyday prospect in New England next year...Should be taken between the 7-10 Rounds next year. Higher if he improves his defense.
Angels scout Jon Niederer, April 1989:
Value: $25,000...Not a holler guy, but comes to play - hard nosed and a hustler...This fellow is the best looking hitter on the East Coast and I think he's got a chance to hit .300 with power in any league, right up to the majors. Reminds me of Al Oliver - everything he hits is hard. His defense would bother me more if we were an astroturf club, but I don't think he's hopeless at third. Has no fear and his work habits are good.
White Sox scout Cal Emery, October 1990:
Really like bat!!! However, lack of speed will hurt chances severely. Good hands at 3rd, arm accurate with quick release. BAt very good. Hits ball foul line to foul line, but very slow.
(Help White Sox Now? No. White Sox acquire? No.)

Does anyone know when he was selected in the draft? What round and how many picks in?
- May 23, 2013 at 10:33 AM
- Astros County said...
Red Sox - 4th Round in 1989 (110th overall)
- May 23, 2013 at 10:34 AM
Thank you! It just proves that each round is very important in the draft.
- May 23, 2013 at 1:18 PM
He might have been slow- but no one mentions his base running instinct. He knew exactly when to go for it.

Feb. 20, 2007
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UCSB (3-3) used runs in every inning except the seventh to easily defeat its cross-town rival Westmont (1-9) by a count of 11-2 in mid-week action on Tuesday at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
The Gauchos tallied three runs in the first and fifth innings and single runs in the second, third, fourth, sixth and eighth innings in the victory. Senior Robbie Blauer led the UCSB offensive effort, finishing three-for-five with two doubles, a triple, two runs scored and three RBI. For Blauer, the triple was the first of his Gaucho career. Junior Chris Fox and freshman Matt Valaika also chipped in two hits for UCSB. Fox batted two-for-three with an RBI and a run scored, while Valaika batted two-for-three with a double, a run scored and an RBI. For Valaika, the double was his second of the year. In addition, sophomore Chris McMurray connected for his first triple and junior Patrick Rose connected for his first homerun in the victory.
Senior Michael Martin made his 2007 pitching debut after missing all last season due to injury. Martin lasted a pre-scheduled three innings, surrendering a run on two hits and a walk en route to his first victory of the season. UCSB used five relievers out of the bullpen on the day, the first being senior right-hander Bryan Fleming. The Marin County, Calif. native pitched two innings, allowing a run on two hits and two walks. Junior southpaw Chuck Huggins pitched a scoreless sixth and tallied two strikeouts for UCSB before giving way to senior Justin Aspegren who tossed a hitless seventh while punching out one. Freshman Mike Ford, who struck out five hitters in two and a third innings pitched on Sunday, tallied three more in a single inning of work on Tuesday. Senior closer Justin Segal pitched the top of the ninth for UCSB, striking out one Warrior in that frame.
Westmont shortstop Anthony Martinez led the Warriors offensively on Tuesday, finishing two-for-three with a double, a walk and two runs scored out of the leadoff spot. Erik Gaustad tallied the only RBI on the day for the Warriors, singling home Martinez in the first inning. Jonathan White got the start for Westmont, surrendering five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters in two and two-thirds innings pitched en route to being charged with the loss.
The Warriors got on the board early, tallying a single run in the top of the first. Martinez led off with a ringing double into the left-centerfield gap before being moved over on a Ryan Haddock sacrifice bunt. After getting the next hitter to fly out to Mike Zuanich in shallow left field, UCSB saw itself in an early 1-0 hole when Gaustad singled to Shane Carlson at shortstop to plate the first run of the game.
UCSB would not trail for long, tallying three runs in the bottom of the first to take a lead it never relinquished. Back-to-back walks to Fox and Rose put runners at first and second with no one out. On the ensuing play, Blauer cleared the bases with his first triple as a Gaucho to give UCSB the 2-1 advantage. Zuanich took advantage of the runner at third with less than two out, lofting a deep fly ball to right field that scored Blauer.
With one out in the second inning, Valaika doubled down the left field line to get the Gaucho offense going. After a balk moved him to third, Valaika scored on Carlson's first hit of the season. UCSB plated one run in the third inning, with the big blow coming off the bat of Blauer once again. This time the Huntington Beach, Calif. native blasted a one-out double over the head of Luke Montzingo in centerfield to set the table for Cody Dee two batters later. With Blauer now at third base after a fly out off the bat of Zuanich, Dee singled into left centerfield to plate Blauer and give UCSB the 5-1 lead. UCSB was back at it again in the fourth, plating one run on one hit. Carlson reached on a walk with one out in the inning before moving to second base on a passed ball. On the next play, Fox took advantage of the opportunity, sending a pitch into left field to plate Carlson.
The Gauchos exploded for three more runs in the bottom of the fifth, highlighted by a two-RBI triple by McMurray. Zuanich doubled to start the inning before Domecus walked two batters later, leaving runners at the corners with McMurray strolling to the plate. The Mission Viejo, Calif. native then sent a pitch into centerfield to clear the bases and stroll into third without a throw. Just one batter later, Valaika connected for his second hit of the day, singling home McMurray for the third and final run of the inning.
Westmont tallied its second and final run of the game in the top of the sixth. Back-to-back hits and a walk loaded the bases with no one out to start the inning. On the ensuing play, Fleming was called for a balk that brought home the run for the Warriors. After loading the bases once again on a walk, Huggins got out of the jam unscathed by striking out the next two hitters and inducing a ground ball for the final out.
UCSB scored single runs in the bottom of the sixth and eighth innings to run the score to its final of 11-2. Rose wasted no time adding run number ten for UCSB, blasting his first career homer to lead off the sixth. After a Gunnar Terhune single to start the eighth inning, sophomore Brian Gump traded places with Terhune on a fielder's choice that forced Terhune out at second. For Terhune, the single was his first hit as a Gaucho. Two batters later, Blauer did damage once again, this time connecting for his second double of the game to score a speedy Gump from first base.
Segal came on and threw a hitless ninth inning to seal the deal on the Gaucho 11-2 victory. UCSB will return to action this Sunday as it plays host to Cal in a two-game series starting at 1 p.m. at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. Monday's series finale is slated to start at 2 p.m. The Gauchos are expected to throw senior right-hander Steve Morlock in game one and follow with senior southpaw Jeff Braun in game two.

While Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays are often the celebrations most synonymous with being home, it's actually Halloween that deserves the most credit. There's no other day when random, crazy-looking people visit your front door and you open it without question bearing gifts for their enjoyment. And "being home" is the central part of Halloween.
For the last two years in the Northeast part of the United States, we've had to put Halloween on hold. Two years ago there was a bizarre snowstorm that dumped a foot of snow on the ground and halted all trick or treating activity. Last year, my home state of New Jersey canceled Halloween activities due to Hurricane Sandy and the fact that most of our homes were without power or worse. So the Halloween 2014, at least for us, is like an old friend we're welcoming back after being away for a few years.
No one is more excited about Halloween than my 5, soon to be 6, year old. He is the epitome of the Jerry Seinfeld Halloween bit where he states that as a child his sole focus in life was to "get candy." School, friends, family, these were just obstacles in the way of getting candy. He knows this not a day to be messed with. As a 3-year old he approached a neighbor's door with bucket in hand awaiting confectionery treasures. Our neighbor placed a bag of "Halloween pretzels" in his bucket. My son looked at the pretzels, pulled it out of his bucket and handed it back to our neighbor. He had not time to waste on these snacks. Chocolate and lollipos were ripe for the taking elsewhere and he needed all the room he could get in his bucket for those essential October treats. And therefore Halloween is one of the most joyous days of the year in the Marine home.
Halloween is one of the few days of the year that people go out in their neighborhood, meet their neighbors and walk the streets where they reside. Somehow dressing up in costumes and the prospect of free candy makes us more neighborly. We need more of that in our world today.
So today Darth Maul, Boba Fett, an Orca (yes, an orca), and a dragon will depart from our home with empty buckets, but grinning faces. They'll return home with those same smiles, sticky fingers and the anticipation of having candy for dinner. While candy may be the catalyst for the day, it's the fact that others are opening the door of their home and the enjoyment of the day with family and friends that make the day so special.
Here's to being home for Halloween.

It was 70 years ago that a new generation of veterans was created when the U.S. entered World War II.

And the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor – Wednesday, Dec. 7 – comes as another new generation of service men and women return home from the war in Iraq, where U.S. troops will exit by the end of the month.
Among the doctors and counselors at the Memphis Veterans Administration hospital who have been seeing veterans of the war as well as the continuing U.S. war in Afghanistan for several years now is clinical psychologist Dr. John Whirley, himself a Vietnam veteran.
Whirley interned at the Memphis VA in the late 1970s as his fellow veterans began changing the nature of care and counseling just as each generation of vets before and after have had an impact.
The number of deployments is one of several factors that make the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans different than the World War II and Vietnam veterans, Whirley said.
"I've had a vet observe to me very recently that two or three veterans can be in the same truck at the same time and get hit by the same IED (improvised explosive device) and have fairly different responses to the experience," he said. "Trying to generalize is certainly difficult."
Nancy Withers, the coordinator of services specifically for the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, said the Memphis VA has provided help to 15,000 of those veterans so far at the hospital, at area clinics and through online services.
"We're ready for whatever comes about," she said. "We'll be right on top of it."
A new annex housing the services is being built now over the ambulatory wing of the hospital and should be ready to open in May, according to Leland Fong, the project section chief.
"Right now the program is just scattered throughout the hospital. You have offices in one location and clinics in another location," Fong said. "This will allow us to consolidate everything into one location including rehabilitation space and mental health clinic offices."
That includes job counseling services and similar help, in addition to medical assistance.
"Many of these soldiers that are coming back as veterans have been deployed more than once. They are young men who basically moved into the military, guard or reserve for the purpose of getting education benefits," Withers said. "They never dreamed that being in the guard or reserves they were going to be called up for combat at all. … It's good money. Sometimes they just don't have any other way of fitting in."
Iraq and Afghanistan have been different wars because they have been fought with a smaller pool of soldiers who volunteered as opposed to being drafted or volunteering in lieu of being drafted.
That means many have done repeat tours, sometimes spending four years overseas. And they faced an enemy who could constantly harass them even on their military bases.
"I've had many veterans tell me over the years, they would rather have been on the road than in base. … The bases seemed so dangerous," Whirley said. "What that means psychologically, I think, is there's no safety. You can't go to bed expecting to sleep all night. You can't be up in the daytime without wearing your battle gear in most of the areas that our folks are in."
Some World War II veterans still come to meetings in groups of around a dozen – one reason being that post-traumatic stress disorder wasn't recognized as widely then as it is now – although their numbers are dwindling rapidly nationally and locally.
Those vets produced the baby boom generation and are still the subject of what Whirley calls "clinical lore."
"They were put to work. There were jobs available. The economy was booming along pretty well at that time. Many of them got absorbed back into life and spent 40 years working and raising families," he said. "Some of them, after retirement, after things started calming down in life, they've noted some problems. If you talk to them they will tell you things that suggest they've always had symptoms … as a result of their war experience. But it was a different time and place I believe."
Most veterans make the transition back to civilian life. And Whirley is anxious to see Iraq and Afghanistan veterans avoid the stereotype that attached itself to many Vietnam veterans.
"That crazy Vietnam vet stereotype has permeated, I think, our culture for many years now," he said. "What we're trying to get folks to understand these days, including the Vietnam vet and the Korean War vets is that recovery is an option. If you've got PTSD, it's not a life sentence. It probably has been for many people."

John Mitchell was our earliest Mitchell relative in America. He migrated along with sixteen other families from Ulster Ireland to Londonderry, NH under the leadership of Rev. James MacGregor.
The Ulster-Scots were Scottish Covenenters who were deposed to Ulster in the Northern region of Ireland to escape persecution under the church of England at the hands of Oliver Cromwell.
Reasons for Immigration:
In Rev. Edward L. Parker's "History of Londonderry" he reports that Rev. James McGregor, one of the Londonderry emigrants and their pastor gives the following reasons for their removal to America: "1st. To avoid oppressive and cruel bondage. 2d. To shun persecution and designed ruin. 3d. To withdraw from the communion of idolaters. 4th. To have an opportunity of worshiping God according to the dictates of conscience and the rules of his inspired Word."

Had a good reaction to my selections on best burgers, so I thought I would give you my thoughts on fish 'n' chips. (A reader told us that Ozzie's in Warwick had closed.)
Once again, our favorite spot for fried fish, like quality "chopped steak," is Twin Oaks, where the greaseless fish hangs over the plate. Order it with a side of pasta and skip the chips.
Our two favorite take-out places are both in Warwick: Dockside on Warwick Ave, where they have an extra cash register to handle the Friday crowds; and Captain's Catch in the center of Apponaug, where the lines are long but the service is quick.
We told you recently of our discovery that Vivaldi's pizza on Broad St. in Edgewood has the best fish 'n' chips in Cranston. We also recommend Horton's at Six Corners in East Providence. They also have the best tartar sauce. We also like the fish 'n' chips at Carousel in Oakland Beach.
O'Roarkes, in Pawtuxet Village, has a fish wrap that is out of this world.
If you feel like traveling, check out Anthony's in Middletown. The combination restaurant and fish market is the favorite for the locals.
What's your favorite?

More Musicians Realizing File Sharing Isn't Evil; Shakira, Norah Jones, Nelly Furtado Say It's Ok
from the figuring-it-out dept
"I like what's going on because I feel closer to the fans and the people who appreciate the music. It's the democratisation of music in a way, and music is a gift. That's what it should be, a gift." -- ShakiraLooks like more and more musicians are realizing that fighting file sharing doesn't make sense, but learning to embrace it has tremendous benefits. Maybe, one of these days, the record labels will figure this out as well.
"If people hear it I'm happy. I'm not going to say go and steal my album, but you know I think its great that young people who don't have a lot of money can listen to music and be exposed to new things." -- Norah Jones
"If you love music you're going to make it anyway. You'll find an audience, and you may not make like millions of dollars but you'll make enough to have a house and a family and a car." -- Nelly Furtado

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - The trial for Anthony Sowell A.K.A. "The Cleveland Strangler" has been delayed until February 14th of next year.
The accused serial killer got what he wanted.
His attorneys had filed arguments with the judge asking for delay and the judge agreed after Sowell agreed to waive his right for a speedy trial and he promised not to complain later that the court took too long to put him on trial.
Sowell's attorneys argued they needed more time to go over evidence, to talk to people about Sowell's background and to have doctors decide if Sowell is really crazy.
Sowell is accused of killing 11 women at his home in Cleveland.
His trial was supposed to begin next month.
The new trial date is set to start on Valentine's Day.

Campaign signs springing up all over New Bern touting candidates running for alderman or mayor are disappearing from the roadside in some areas and a few municipal political contenders are getting frustrated.
Campaign signs springing up all over New Bern touting candidates running for alderman or mayor are disappearing from the roadside in some areas and a few municipal political contenders are getting frustrated.
Robert �Chick� Natella and Bee Mayo, candidates for aldermen Ward 4 seats, both said they have already lost signs during the campaign for the Oct. 8 election.
Natella recently sent a letter to the editor saying several of his campaign signs have gone missing.
�I don�t know who took my signs, but it is very distressing, because those of us that are running for elected office and our supporters should be above such petty and childish practices,� Natella wrote. �If the citizens of the 4th Ward want me to represent them, the removal of my signs will not keep me from getting elected. As the other candidates know, these signs are expensive, they are my personal property and their removal is stealing.�
Mayo said she had about 40 or 50 out of her 100 campaign signs go missing. The signs were pulled up along Neuse Boulevard, Colony Drive, Elizabeth Avenue and Rack Track Road, she said.
�It�s frustrating,� Mayo said. �But, hey, it�s been happening for years and I don�t think it is going to change. I do think it hurts somebody who doesn�t have a whole lot of money to spend.�
Mayo said she had no idea why someone would take the signs or vandalize them by pulling them up and throwing them in the street.
�It�s kind of expensive to lose signs,� she said. �But it happens sometimes in contested races.�
Mayo said now here husband occasionally moves the signs around the city. None of her signs put in the yards of supporters have gone missing, she said.
Rhonda Allen, spokesperson for the New Bern Police Department said stealing campaign signs is larceny.
�We�ve had one report and we checked it out and the signs were still there,� Allen said. �Juveniles had kicked them but did not take them.�
Allen said Thursday there were no formal reports from candidates about stolen campaign signs.
According to the city ordinance political campaign signs may not exceed 32 square feet in area and have to be removed within three days following the election. Temporary signs cannot be located within street rights of way or public property unless approved by the Board of Aldermen or its designee.
Colleen Roberts, city public information officer, said Mike Epperson, city manager and Mark Stephens, public works director, both explained to candidates when they went through orientation where campaign signs are allowed in the city.
Roberts said the city was not more lenient of where candidates could place campaign signs but did not plan to hire staff to police the signs, she said.
�We will address it if it gets to a level where there is a significant amount of complains,� Roberts said. �If citizens wish to file complaints about the legality of where campaign signs are placed, we encourage them to call public works at 639-7501,� Roberts said.

More analysts are talking about how Qwest could be a good acquisition target, something that's been discussed for years, dating back to the end of the Joe Nacchio days in mid-2002.
At any rate, Chris Larsen, a Piper Jaffray Cos. analyst in New York, told Bloomberg News recently that Qwest's stock price, hovering around $4 a share, could make the company a potential target.
The stock price, which gives Qwest a market value of about $6.8 billion, may make it an attractive target to other companies, Larsen said. The company formed by the combination of CenturyTel and Embarq, which has branded itself CenturyLink, is the most likely acquirer, and that would be a "merger of equals," he said.
The same story quotes Qwest CFO Joe Euteneuer as saying its stock price prevents the company from being the acquirer, but that he thinks consolidation will continue.
"Our stock has not been trading at a high-enough level to really have it be a real currency to go out and do something ourselves,"
Euteneuer said in an interview yesterday in New York. "That would be our biggest stumbling block. It's not from a lack of willingness or desire, but really a lack of currency."
"Consolidation is something that, in my opinion, I think is going to happen," Euteneuer said. "Enough people have talked about it, enough people want it to happen and can see the benefits of it."
Could something be happening behind the scenes? Would be somewhat surprising, but Qwest CEO Ed Mueller did put his home on the market earlier this year and the company is looking for new office space because the lease on its headquarters ends in 2012.
However, the company couldn't dump its nationwide, fiber-optic network earlier this year, a sale that would've made an acquisition of its local phone and Internet business more likely.
Some industry observers have told me that it would make more sense for Qwest to sell off its local phone business in pieces. Verizon and AT&T would have interest in their lines in major metro areas such as Denver, Phoenix and Minneapolis, while CenturyLink and other smaller players would gobble up the rural lines.
But at the end of the day, Qwest would still have that fiber-optic network to deal with.
Below is the full text of the Bloomberg story.
[BYLINE1]By Amy Thomson
Bloomberg News Service
[TEXT1J]Qwest Communications International Inc., the local phone provider in 14 U.S. states, said its stock price may be standing in the way of an acquisition as mergers sweep the industry.
"Our stock has not been trading at a high-enough level to really have it be a real currency to go out and do something ourselves," Read more…

It rained cats and dogs (and I need another bike)!
I love the old English expression, it makes me laugh.
If the phenomenon was ever going to happen, Sunday would have been the day. It poured down as we were getting ready for our race. At one point, I thought the organisers would pull the pin or perhaps make rear lights compulsory for the race. They didn't and they run a fine, welcoming event under some terrible weather conditions. So a big thank you to all!
Also, a especial Thank You! to Jack and John (on crutches and smiling as always), HPRW commissaries who came out to help in the event. Without them, HPRW members would have not been allowed to race (another rule).
My race was good. I could have been more time efficient and got a good warm up but I don't know how much better I would have gone. I was very pumped for the event, a little too confident perhaps and thought 15 minutes would've done the job - most of the time riders wait on the line for a long time and get cold.
No waiting this time, when I got to the start my minute man was getting held by the starter. That got my heart pumping a bit faster. Good, I thought! Behind me, the guy who won the championship's road race. In my head, the thought that if I could beat him I would have a podium finish.
- Ride strong! I heard.
My run was somehow conservative, I didn't want to cramp or blow up on the way back and I couldn't read the wind very well. That might have led to two or three gear changes too many. I also chose not to wear glasses and struggled with the rain in my eyes for a while.
Not a clean run and apart from a couple of funny taste in my throat moments I didn't leave everything on the course as I was told to do. But I felt good about my run and I did sprint and passed the line - more like in slow motion - guessing a 26' plus. I then turned around and tried to spot my chaser, counting the seconds. I guessed around sixty.
It was the usual long wait but my name was called through the PA indicating that I had won a place on the podium or I had done something wrong... I ended up receiving the bronze medal, a really great result I feel. And my chaser? He was .32 of a second slower.
Next year I will have a TT bike...
... and will race like Anna!

The first Orthodox Liturgy for the British Orthodox Windsor Mission was held at St. Andrew's Church, Clewer, on 16 March, through the kind hospitality afforded by the Rev'd Louise Brown and St. Andrew's PCC. Despite the torrential rain it was well supported and by the end of the Divine Liturgy the sun had come out and the church's beautiful setting could be better appreciated.

Happy holidays, indeed.
One glance at Katie Holmes' latest Bobbi Brown campaign and we're suddenly feeling quite festive thanks to her ravishing red lips, beautiful long locks and gorgeous party dress.
The star, who just launched a popular color palette called Bobbi & Katie this fall, captivates our attention entirely in a bright and shiny beauty ad that exudes a sensational party vibe with a hint of retro glamour.
Tom Cruise's ex-wife strikes a flirtatious pose with her hands on her hips wearing a red embellished frock featuring intricate cutouts revealing a hint of sexy skin accented with a playful feathered skirt.
NEWS: Katie Holmes: I want a fragrance
Her deep brown locks are styled in elegant finger waves, looking glossier than ever cascading on her shoulders, and we're entirely smitten with this sassier side of Suri's mom.
As for the most appealing aspect of the campaign imagery? That bold red lipstick!
NEWS: Celeb haircut rundown
We rarely ever see Katie in a striking shade of lip color, and this deep brick red shade is simply stunning on her—especially when paired with her flawless porcelain complexion, inky black eyeliner and matching deep nail polish.
In short, we're totally inspired to step up our beauty routine now.
OK, beauties, who's ready for the holiday season?
