"I was fortunate enough to be with Milan for 25 splendid years. When I arrived, I found a great foundation to build a great club," Maldini said in an interview with La Repubblica. "President Silvio Berlusconi came and taught us to think big, also of course with his investments.
"Arrigo Sacchi followed and we had the mentality that we'd become the symbol of a style of football. It was something magical.
"Slowly, the magic was lost and Milan transformed into an absolutely normal club. That's because Milan stopped transmitting that message and those who had written the history of the club stopped teaching their knowledge to the next generation.
"There is nobody in the current Milan set-up who wrote history, other than those in marginal roles."
The former defender also hit out at any notion of a long-term plan at Milan, citing recent transfers as proof of disorganization within the team.
"It is difficult to evaluate the planning of this Milan side, as over the summer they released 12 players of great character and still didn't expect a difficult start to the season," he said. "In all honesty, I can't see what their plans are. Choosing certain players, even if they are on free transfers, looks a world away from a specific plan."
But despite the criticism, the 44-year-old was quick to deny any ambitions of having his own input or becoming a coach at the San Siro.
"I have never considered being a coach, because I saw the nomadic lifestyle my father Cesare had to go through in order to work.
"I don't want to be a director because I don't like politics. If I were to remain working in football, it would be in bringing my football knowledge. There are few who are 100 percent competent, know about tactics, players and sports psychology. I am not interested in a role just for the prestige of it."And Il Capitano went on to suggest that several roles had been offered to him, adding: "I'll reveal to you that Leonardo wanted me at Milanello, even if I was just to stand there and show my presence.
"Last year, Max Allegri called me and said he needed someone to keep an eye on him, to say whether he'd done something wrong tactically or in dealing with the locker room. He needed someone with the character to talk to the more important players in an authoritative manner. He thought that I, with my past, could do that."Despite the ex-player's reluctance to take on a coaching or advisory role within the club, he did express a desire to see the side regain its former prestige.
"I just want to give the magic back to Milan. I won more than anyone with this club and played more games than anyone, but I feel Milan have given me even more. I feel a debt of gratitude to Milan."The former Italy captain, who retired from football in 2009, also said former players should have a role to play at Milan, adding: "Look at Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, who had directors like Beckenbauer, Hoeness, Rummenigge, Butragueno, Gallego and Valdano.
"This magic can be carried on and taught by those who experienced and even created it. Milan had the magic for 25 years, but then lost it."

It's only been a week since White Castle
announced the widespread rollout
of its Impossible Slider — a meat-free 100% vegan burger that looks, tastes, and bleeds like real meat — and now a petition
Extremely Womens AfLiliPyMz Maternity Nightie Melissa Brown With Mastercard Shopping Online Original In China Buy Online t5ISoO
is gaining a good bit of momentum. The petition, which was started by social activism group Care2 and is hosted on its petition site, wants the world's largest burger chain to offer its own "guilt-free" meal option in the United States.
At the time of this writing, the petition has almost broken the 23,000 signature mark, with an ultimate goal of 25,000 signees. Care2 cites the adoption of the Impossible Burger by White Castle as a clear sign that McDonald's should do the same. The group believes that the option of a vegan burger at the popular fast food chain will have a dramatic impact in a variety of ways.
"Vegan and vegetarian burgers like the one on the menu at White Castle don't just save animals; they also use much less land and water, which means they are far better for the environment than animal-based burgers," Care2 writes. "In fact choosing a burger like the Impossible Slider, over a regular beef patty is like saving 20 gallons of water."
Impossible Foods, makers of the meat-free burger, has spent years working on its product, which is made of potato and wheat protein, soy, coconut oil, and other vegan ingredients. The burger gets its meaty taste from a substance called Heme, which the company says is abundant in animal muscle and can be produced in its lab using plant materials. The result is a vegan burger that has a meat-like texture and even "bleeds" when bitten, just like a ground beef patty.
"McDonald's alreadyoffers vegan burgers," Care2 writes. "Just not here in America. Earlier this year, the global restaurant chain began offering soy-based burgers to its customers in Sweden and Finland and they sold like hotcakes."
Of course, rolling veggie burgers out to 140 White Castle locations is much less work than doing the same for 14,000 of McDonald's US locations. Still, if the Impossible Burger continues to catch on as it has over the past year, it might not be long before the golden arches finds itself serving up meat-free burgers of its own.

It's almost noon on the East Coast. Most of the Mets are probably snoozing right about now after their red eye flight from LA. I know most of you are thinking they've been snoozing the last three days against the Dodgers.
I take four positive things from the last three days, but two of them are tempered:
1) Daniel Murphy seems comfortable at first base after the horror show that was left field. His bat, however, needs to come around again. I believe Murphy will get through this, so right now he's gone down on my worry meter.
2) Tim Redding came back with a strong effort Monday night. It's a good sign. Better, of course, than if he were bombed. But, he has to keep doing it.
3) I was encouraged by Livan Hernandez's strong outing last night in the terms of innings. Still, he's a question because you can't rely on him every fifth day to give you what he gave them last night.
4) David Wright continues to hit as is Carlos Beltran. They are the only players performing to their capabilities offensively.
All that being said, there are more than enough areas of concern for the Mets, beginning with the leg injury to Jose Reyes. He reinjured his calf last night after missing five games and his availability for the Boston series is questionable. Ramon Martinez and Fernando Tatis aren't the answers, which gives you an indication of how much they miss Alex Cora. The injuries to Reyes and Carlos Delgado are emblematic of the franchise's lack of depth in the minor league system.
What else is going wrong?
* I have no idea what to get from start to start from John Maine and Mike Pelfrey is becoming a source of concern also. These are your Nos. 2 and 3 starters and they take the ball every fifth day more as question marks than exclamation points.
* Luis Castillo has returned to earth following a fast start. His range is limited and he's in an offensive funk. Also struggling offensively is Tatis, especially with runners in scoring position.
* JJ Putz has not been as good as advertised.
* Ryan Church used to be a doubles machine but he's not driving the ball anymore. He's of little value as a singles hitter.
* Collectively, the offense has packed it in the last four games and they face three good arms in Fenway. This is not the weekend that screams breakout.
* The defense has been spotty, something you can't afford with spotty starting pitching and a comatose offense.

NHL cancels September pre-season games
The NHL pre-season is the first victim of the lockout.
The league made it official Wednesday by announcing the cancellation of games until the end of September, including the Kraft Hockeyville game set for Oct. 3rd in Stirling-Rawdon, Ont. That is 61 games in total that are gone.
While many of the Hockeyville festivities will still be held in the small community near Belleville, the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets has been officially postponed until next year.
Camps were scheduled to open Friday and the pre-season is supposed to end on Sunday, Oct. 7th. There are still 46 exhibition games left on the schedule in October but it's highly doubtful any of those will be played.

Staging Area Shelter
The LIDS staging area shelter is a compact, lightweight, self-contained, easily transportable, multi-purpose shelter designed to provide aircrew and ground personnel protection against inclement weather conditions. This shelter significantly reduces exposure of personnel to high heat conditions, direct sunlight, rain and high winds. Approximately 20 personnel and their individual equipment can be in the shelter prior to processing through LIDS CBRNE. This system is comprised of two inflatable shelters 10' x 10' x 8'. These two standard shelters are joined together using quick disconnect snaps forming a 10' x 20' x 8' shelter. Each shelter inflates in approximately 90 seconds. The staging area shelter can be
fully enclosed to provide overhead protection and shading. Each end of the shelter can be independently rolled up or all four sides can be rolled up as required. Sides are held up using quick disconnect snaps, allowing shaded airflow when needed. The staging shelter cover also contains doors on both ends to allow entry when the shelter is fully enclosed. Multiple high strength nylon anchoring straps and points are used to secure each structure in place. These have been tested to withstand sustained winds of 25 knots.
Each staging shelter comes with the following equipment: an electric fan, extension cords, three way adapters, external lights, spikes, folding chairs, repair kit, mops, buckets, hammer, blower and vacuum system, and non-collapsible WFI-AMC container. Staging area shelters fully meet operational requirements to support decontamination processing lines. Decontamination of equipment along with medical and mobility processing are only a few of the ways the system can be used.

Registration of Velcorin in Canada promotes growth in North America.
LANXESS will be showcasing its Velcorin technology for cold sterilisation and the new Velcorin DT Touch dosing technology for the beverage industry at drinktec 2013 in Munich, Germany, from September 16 to 20. Ingo Broda, head of the Beverage Technology business line in the LANXESS Material Protection Products business unit, sees the world's largest trade show in the sector, which takes place every four years, as the ideal springboard for the company: "The varied range of visitors includes decision-makers in the areas of technology, purchasing and sales, particularly from the growth markets in Eastern Europe and overseas. drinktec gives us the opportunity to present the new generation of our dosing units to a very wide audience and allows us to explain the benefits of our tried-and-tested Velcorin technology for new applications such as cider or fermented drinks."
The new Velcorin DT Touch dosing units for filling Velcorin as a cold sterilisation agent in non-alcoholic beverages and wine are being sold worldwide. The high-quality dosing units are manufactured in Germany and feature an aseptic design and connections to meet the strict purity requirements of the beverage industry. They are easy and safe to handle, with control and visualisation of the dosing process enabled by a touch panel. Velcorin DT Touch dosing units ensure exact dosing and excellent distribution of Velcorin in the beverage. The state-of-the-art dosing units can be easily integrated into new or existing beverage production lines and only require a small initial outlay.
Safely filled
Microorganisms such as yeast, mold and bacteria are present throughout the beverage filling process - in the air, in the equipment, in the closures and in the beverages themselves. They not only impair the sensory properties of the liquids but can also pose a health risk for consumers. Even at low concentrations, Velcorin is highly effective against typical spoilage microorganisms without compromising the taste.
As one of the top technologies for beverage stabilisation, cold sterilisation with Velcorin is already successfully established worldwide. Prominent bodies such as the EU Scientific Committee on Food, the FDA in the United States and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives have all declared the use of Velcorin to be harmless to health. The product has also recently been approved for use in Canada.
"In the past two years, LANXESS has succeeded in raising its profile in the United States considerably and has more than doubled its business with Velcorin for non-alcoholic beverages. Registration in Canada paves the way for further expansion in North America - the world's biggest beverage market," says Broda.
Comprehensive service rounds off the package
"With Velcorin, we offer not only an effective solution for the cold sterilisation of beverages, but also, in combination with our dosing systems, a truly complete range of services. The package includes system maintenance, too," adds Broda. LANXESS also offers support in laboratory and production testing, for line assessments and for the registration process. Detailed information can be found on the internet at http://www.velcorin.com.
The Material Protection Products business unit is part of LANXESS' Performance Chemicals segment, which achieved total sales in fiscal 2012 of EUR 2.2 billion.
LANXESS is a leading specialty chemicals company with sales of EUR 9.1 billion in 2012 and roughly 17,500 employees in 31 countries. The company is currently represented at 52 production sites worldwide. The core business of LANXESS is the development, manufacturing and marketing of plastics, rubber, intermediates and specialty chemicals. LANXESS is a member of the leading sustainability indices Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World and FTSE4Good as well as the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI).

Staff at San Diego County's leading trauma center now has the most advanced technology at their fingertips.
On Thursday, UC San Diego Health Care unveiled the newest addition to the county's trauma care system with its state-of-the-art Level 1 Trauma Center.
Trauma teams have access to the latest in diagnostics, digital imaging, and communication.
Center director Raul Coimbra, MD, PhD, FACS said the cutting-edge technology will allow staff to resuscitate patients more rapidly.
Among the additions, a modern x-ray system that delivers "film" three seconds after an image is taken straight into the system's computers. That's a big difference than the old system where staff would wait 15 to 20 minutes for the same image.
Results from laboratories will also pop up directly on the computer screens. Staff will no longer have to run to the lab to get the results Coimbra said.
There is also a unique camera system that allows medical staff to guide four patients at once, splitting a monitor and giving a specialist or other doctors the ability to see what's happening in several trauma rooms simultaneously.
"The most modern trauma center in San Diego County that we are opening today," Coimbra said. "I hope other the trauma centers will follow our lead on this system."
The center on W. Arbor Drive serves approximately 2,900 patients a year covering the area south of Interstate 805 to the ocean and Interstate 8 to the Mexican border.
UC San Diego's Trauma Center has served as a model for other countries and was recently certified as a Level I trauma center.

Radamel Falcao has reiterated his commitment to Atletico Madrid and believes he can win more trophies with the Spanish side.
The Colombian striker, who lifted the Europa League with Atleti last season, has had his future subjected to fierce speculation over the past six months with moves to clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea all being reported.
However, the former Porto forward has claimed that his thoughts are only with his current side as they launch a sustained push for La Liga.
"I have three years left on my contract at my club and I am happy and satisfied," Falcao told reporters.
"It is clear to us what we want, which is to qualify for the Champions League, but if we can fight for the title, then we will.
"We will continue fighting for the league while it remains a mathematical possibility. We know it is hard because Barcelona are having a faultless season.
"Obviously in sporting terms I have the ambition to continue to progress and do better than this season, to keep fighting at the top of the Spanish League, the Europa League and in the semi-finals of a tournament like the Copa del Rey. I just think of Atletico."
The 26-year-old also reflected on the seven-point lead his side have over fierce local rivals Real Madrid, saying that while it is a good feeling to be above their illustrious neighbours, it is not Jose Mourinho's side who dominate their thinking.
"We have a very good seven-point lead over our rivals, who in many years have been superior to us in terms of results.
"We wish to continue to maintain the distance, but it does not concern us if we are in front or behind."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former Arkansas Treasurer Martha Shoffner pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges she steered state investments to a bond broker for $36,000.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe Volpe set Shoffner's jury trial to begin July 29 and said it will take at least four days. Shoffner entered her plea during a brief hearing before Volpe.
She said little to reporters as she left the federal courthouse in downtown Little Rock, but did mention she was looking forward to her trial.
"We're just moving forward," Shoffner told reporters.
Shoffner was indicted June 5 on 14 federal counts of extortion and bribery charges. She was arrested at her Newport home May 18 after the FBI said it caught her on tape accepting a $6,000 payment from the broker, who hasn't been identified. Shoffner, a Democrat who was re-elected in 2010, resigned days after her arrest.
Thursday's appearance was her first since a plea deal with prosecutors last month fell apart at the last minute. Shoffner had been set to plead guilty May 31 to a single extortion charge, but told U.S. District Judge Leon Holmes that the payments didn't affect her decisions as treasurer and that she didn't intentionally steer business to the broker. Holmes rejected the plea since she wasn't admitting guilt to all of the elements of the charge. Prosecutors then sought the broader indictment against Shoffner.
When asked why she's pleading not guilty, Shoffner responded: "There were certain issues that were bought up that I couldn't plead to." She declined to elaborate as her attorney, Chuck Banks, led her away from the courthouse.
Shoffner said she was comfortable with the case going before a federal jury.
"I think that's where you get the truth," she said.
The FBI said in an affidavit filed in May that the broker would roll up cash in $6,000 increments and have it delivered to Shoffner's office every six months. At least two of the payments were delivered in a pie box, pie included. The broker "recognized his/her bond business with the state grew because of the payments," the affidavit said.
Shoffner faces six counts of extortion under color of official right and one attempted extortion charge for each of the payments the FBI says Shoffner accepted. Those charges carry maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine. The seven bribery charges cover all of the payments Shoffner received, plus the $6,000 payment the FBI said she accepted on tape in May. The bribery charges carry maximum penalties of 10 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
Gov. Mike Beebe appointed former Legislative Auditor Charles Robinson to serve the remainder of Shoffner's term, which ends in January 2015. Robinson is barred from running for the post next year since he was appointed to it.

The Rolla family displaced by a home fire Sunday is scheduled to move into their new residence today.
The Rolla family displaced by a home fire Sunday is scheduled to move into their new residence today.
Stephanie A. Edwards, who lived at the home on Stephendale Court off Highway 72 west of South Rolla Street, told The Rolla Daily News Tuesday that her family "lost everything in the fire."
The blaze was reported at about 12:30 p.m. Nov. 18. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Fire Chief Robert Williams, of the City of Rolla Fire and Rescue, said he believes the blaze started in the back bedroom.
Edwards, along with her husband Lonell and their three children, Michaela Swift, Marcus Swift and Isaac Foston, rented the home.
"No one was hurt, but our house was completely destroyed — every single thing we had," Stephanie Edwards said. "By the grace of God, we're getting ready to move into our new place (Wednesday)."
Stephanie Edwards said their possessions melted, burned or sustained smoke damage.
"It's unfortunate and upsetting," she said, noting that she did not have rental insurance.
Stephanie Edwards said she was not home when the fire started, but instead was at the hospital at the time.
Her husband and one of her sons were the only ones at the residence when the fire broke out.
According to Stephanie Edwards, her husband went back into the house to save her computer, but he wasn't able to save it. However, Lonell made it out safe, with burns on his arm, she said.
Stephanie Edwards thanked Judy Terry, with the American Red Cross, who helped the family after the fire.
"She was so amazing and went above and beyond the call of duty," Stephanie Edwards said of Terry.
Stephanie Edwards said her family is in need of items for their new home - everything from beds, dressers, kitchen tables and chairs and more.To contact the family, search for Stephanie A Edwards, of Rolla, on Facebook or call her at 573-465-1588.

Porto midfielder Fernando has said that he is hoping to earn a call-up to the Brazil national soon in the near future.
The 25-year-old has impressed for the Portuguese champions this season, and feels the lack of players in his position will help his case for a Selecao spot.
"I always check when the team is announced and I'm still hopeful," he is quoted saying by Fifa.com
"I get letters from fans and they ask me about the national team, and all I can say is that I'm going to keep on working. I get a lot of exposure here in Europe but not in Brazil because I left home early.
"I play like a European now and not at all like a Brazilian holding midfielder. There aren't [defensive midfielders] any in Brazil, which could work in my favour and that is why I'm still hopeful of getting my chance.
"I get the feeling he's going to need one soon. I think defensive midfielders bring balance to any team, like Gilberto Silva and Dunga did before [in the World Cup-winning squads of 1994 and 2002]."

According to George he refused a call to the MRS and self-rescued.
+++1 on the self rescue. Wishing the climber a speedy recovery!!!
A good climber can self-rescue himself, in my opinion.It is what he did. If there is no danger to fall, why should we use a rope?
Dman agrees with Champ.Behold. A winter miracle.

The role of fatty acids in the management of osteoarthritis
Oct 01, 2004
Osteoarthritis is a chronic and potentially debilitating disease involving the disruption of metabolic homeostasis within the articular chondrocyte. Specifically, osteoarthritis involves an increased ratio of cartilage-degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases, or MMPs) to their normal inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). It is the imbalance of TIMPs and MMPs that contributes to the pathologic breakdown of cartilage. Dietary fatty acids can help to correct this imbalance by modulating the production of inflammatory mediators.
N-3 fatty-acid types
Dietary fats are an important component of canine diets. They supply a concentrated source of energy as well as essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid. Due to dogs' inability to produce these fatty acids and their metabolic need for them, linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid must be supplied in the diet. Furthermore, these fatty acids serve as substrates for further desaturation and chain elongation to longer 20- and 22-carbon fatty acids.Vegetable oils—such as flaxseed, soybean, and canola oils—contain amounts of α-linolenic acid ranging from 7% to more than 50% of the oil's total fatty-acid content. Alpha-linolenic acid can be metabolized into the long-chain n-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. However, the conversion rate of α-linolenic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid is low. In dogs fed diets containing α-linolenic acid or fish oil at the same n-6:n-3 fatty-acid ratio, fish oil supplementation resulted in significantly greater eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid enrichment in both the plasma and neutrophils than the group consuming the α-linolenic acid supplemented diet.1 Furthermore, even when α-linolenic acid was fed at levels of more than 20% of total energy, there was no docosahexaenoic acid enrichment in the plasma or neutrophils.1 The findings are similar in primates and people—studies reveal inefficient conversion of dietary α-linolenic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid.2-4 Even though α-linolenic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid are both n-3 fatty acids, they need to be considered separately because they're metabolized differently. The dietary n-6:n-3 fatty-acid ratio or the total n-3 fatty-acid content does not include the possible anti-inflammatory potential of a diet.5

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, November 14, 1905:
Mr. Patrick McCafferty has finished the improvements to the grounds about the old windmill. Mr. McCafferty has built a stone wall and planted shrubbery and trees, besides otherwise beautifying the grounds.

From the Newport Daily News, November 17, 1905:
Mr. Janek is putting a larger heating plant in his greenhouse on Southwest avenue.
From the Newport Daily News, November 18, 1905:
About 2,000 feet of the lumber lost from the deckload of schooner Parker, which was towed into Newport in a sinking condition Wednesday, has been picked up on the Hull Cove beach, near Beavertail.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, November 15, 1930:
The organ at St, Matthew's Church is being repaired and an addition to the basement and the parish house is completed.

From the Newport Daily News, November 18, 1930:
(At the Town Council meeting) a petition protesting against the constant breaking of the water main on Narragansett avenue, west of the Four Corners, and requesting that a new main be laid was received and recorded. From the Newport Daily News, November 20, 1930:
There was a good attendance at the first meeting of the winbonds. ter season of the Men's Community Club in the basement of the Thomas H. Clarke school Tuesday evening, when Rev. Roy W. Magoun was the speaker, and gave an interesting talk on "Unemployment." He told of the many out of work all over the country and mentioned the different plans suggested for relief. He especially stressed the thought, however, that the worst kind of unemployment is that of the mind.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, November 15, 1955:
The Jamestown Town Council at its regular meeting last night was asked by Dr. Alfred B. Gobeille, the president, to be ready to seek legislation from the General Assembly in January to authorize installation of parking meters in the town. This would conform with the vote of the financial town meeting last May, and would allow the meters on a trial basis at no cost to the taxpayers.
From the Newport Daily News, November 19, 1955:
The employees of the Jamestown Bridge Commission should be entitled to the benefits of the state employees cash sickness benefit according to the opinion of Andrew P. Quinn, attorney for the commission. . . . Charles Hull, manager, reported the gross revenues for the first 14 days in November, compared with the same period in 1954, was 5.8 percent less.

The cost of building an additional classroom at Jamestown School for four special education pupils attending East Greenwich High School, may be cheaper than shuttling the youngsters off-island daily.
From the Newport Daily News, November 17, 1980:
Agatha Christie's suspense packed mystery, The Mousetrap, kept its three-night audiences guessing as the Jamestown Players performance Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at the Jamestown Theatre.
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, November 16, 1990:
A proposal to build a $1 million senior center was presented to the Town Council Monday night. The proposed facility, which would be located in a building currently owned by the Newman Building Materials, on Hammett Court, would serve as both a senior and community center.
A group of 10 island business people met last week in what was described as the first step on re-organizing the defunct Jamestown Business Association.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, November 16, 1995:
Despite budget problems that have forced the state Department of Transportation to put many of its projects on hold for at least three years, a $1.4 million landscaping project to beautify the cross-island highway is scheduled to begin next spring.
(photo captions) Members of the Jamestown VFW and American Legion posts conducted Veterans Day memorial services Saturday at East Ferry. Above, a rifle squad fires a salute. At left, a wreath is tossed on the water in memory of those who gave their lives at sea.
Monday evening's "Taste of Jamestown," featuring foods from 12 of the island's restaurants, was "an overwhelming success." Chuck Masso of the Jamestown Country Club Restaurant, where the event was held, said some 460 paid $12.50 a ticket to sample an appetizing array of fare, and some 600 people were turned away.
Another person could not have squeezed into the room Saturday for the dedication of the new senior Center at the Grange. The Jamestown Community Band was there. In fact, the band led the procession from East Ferry after the Veterans memorial ceremony concluded. The crowd marched up Narragansett Avenue, paused briefly to thank the congregations at St. Mark and St. Matthew's churches for their support of the seniors, and then headed over to the new center. More than 200 people packed into the main room of the Grange Hall.

I created two T-SQL utilities
- Candidate Commands (CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommands.sql); and
- Candidate Commands Plus (CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommandsPlus.sql)
that you can use to manage the size of your data files. They provide not only information about disk and data-file usage but also commands you can use to shrink or grow the size of data files. The commands are based on a target (i.e., percentage of free space) that you specify, so they're tailored to your particular situation.
For example, suppose that your SQL Server machine has multiple databases. You receive a notice that the amount of free disk space on that machine is low. You also receive a notice that the amount of database free space is low for the database named DB. The limited amount of free disk space hampers your ability to quickly grow DB's data file.
In order to grow the data file for DB without depleting all available disk space, you must first free up some disk space by shrinking other data files. To identify which data files are good candidates to shrink, you can use the Candidate Commands utility. Figure 1 shows sample output from this tool.
Figure 1: Sample output from the Candidate Commands utility (click to enlarge)
Although all the columns provide useful information, the key columns are:
- %DataFeeSpace. Specifies the current amount of free space in the data file as a percentage.
- DiskFreeSpace. Indicates the amount of free space (in megabytes) on the physical drive.
- SmallestForTarget. Specifies smallest file size necessary to meet your target percentage.
- CandidateResult. Indicates how much the existing file would increase or decrease if you ran the command in the CandidateCommand column.
- CandidateCommand. Provides the command to produce the desired result based on your target percentage.
Which databases are good candidates for shrinking and growing depends on your goal. For example, suppose you ran the Candidate Commands utility and received the results shown in Figure 1. Which commands you'd want to run depends on what you're trying to accomplish:
- If you're making sure your data files have enough free space, the results show that the free space for the Products database's data files is quite low. There's plenty of disk space on the H and I drives, so you'd want to execute the commands for the Products database to increase the amount of space allocated to its data files.
- If you know there will be a large insertion of data in the Sales database and you want to ensure there's adequate space, the results show that there's plenty of available space for its data files. So, in this case, the best course of action is to not run any of the commands.
- If you need to add a really large database to the server and you want to shrink data files to free up disk space, the results show that shrinking the Sales data files will result in the biggest amount of freed up disk space.
Here's how to run the Candidate Commands utility:
- Log in to the SQL Server machine on which you want to check data-file usage.
- Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and paste the contents of CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommands.sql into a new query window.
Modify the target free-space percentage if desired. The default value is 20 percent. If you want a different percentage, find the line
SET @target = 20and replace 20 with the desired target.
- Execute CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommands.sql.
The Candidate Commands utility doesn't make any data modifications. It merely proposes commands based on the specified free-space percentage target. After you pick a command to execute, you can copy and paste that command into a new query window and execute it. The script will produce a warning if there's insufficient disk space to increase the size of a data file for a given target.
The Candidate Commands Plus utility is similar to the Candidate Commands utility, but differs in two important respects. First, Candidate Commands Plus is designed to be executed against a list of servers. Second, the produced commands have the proper syntax to be executed in one query window against multiple remote servers. Because of these differences, it uses an additional file named CC.sql.
Here's how to run the Candidate Commands Plus utility:
- Log in to one of your SQL Server machines.
- Save CC.sql to a location that the SQL Server service can access (e.g., C:\dpg).
- Open SSMS and paste the contents of CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommandsPlus.sql into a new query window.
Modify the target free-space percentage if desired. The default value is 30 percent. If you want a different percentage, find the line
SET @target = 30and replace 30 with the desired target.
Modify the location of the CC.sql file. Find the line
SET @file = N'c:\dpg\CC.sql'replace c:\dpg\CC.sql with the location in which you placed CC.sql. It must be a fully qualified pathname. (Leave in the letter N and the single quotes.)
Modify the list of servers to be inserted into the @Servers variable. Find the code
INSERT @Servers SELECT N'Server1' UNION ALL SELECT N'Server2' UNION ALL SELECT N'Server3' UNION ALL SELECT N'Server4' UNION ALL SELECT N'Server5'Replace Server1, Server 2, and so on with the names of your servers. (Leave in the letter N and the single quotes.) You can increase or decrease the number of servers as desired. (No matter the number, the last SELECT statement should not include the UNION ALL clause.)
- Execute CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommandsPlus.sql.
The output generated by the Candidate Commands Plus utility is similar to the output generated by the Candidate Commands utility. However, the candidate commands generated by Candidate Commands Plus are designed to be executed in SQLCMD mode, so they all start with :connect followed by the appropriate server name, as Figure 2 shows.
Figure 2: Sample candidate commands from the Candidate Commands Plus utility (click to enlarge)
After you decide on which commands to use, copy and paste the desired commands into a new query window, adding carriage returns where appropriate (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Running commands in a query window in SQLCMD mode (click to enlarge)
Execute the commands in SQLCMD mode. By running the commands this way, you can execute multiple commands against multiple servers without needing to constantly change server connections.
The Candidate Commands and Candidate Commands Plus utilities let you quickly assess your available disk space and available data-file space. These scripts decrease human error by calculating the appropriate new data-file size value based on the target you provide. Further, with Candidate Commands Plus, you can quickly review disk and data-file usage on hundreds of SQL Server machines and execute as many commands as you desire against multiple servers in one query window. You can download CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommands.sql, CandidateFileSizeMgmtCommandsPlus.sql, and CC.sql by clicking the 102295.zip hotlink near the top of the page. The scripts have been tested on SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005 machines.

LITTLE ROCK Throngs of shoppers in Little Rock were out hunting deals early Friday despite "Black Friday" promotions on the Internet and the fact that some stores had opened on Thanksgiving Day.Gallery: 2012 Black Friday
Some merchants, eager to attract more shoppers after several years of lackluster growth, opened earlier this year to get a jump on the vital Christmas shopping season.
The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally called Black Friday because it's when some retailers begin to turn a profit for the year.
The National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, expects overall sales in November and December to rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion — about the same growth as last year.
The trade group forecast that shoppers will, on average, spend $749.51 on gifts, decor and greeting cards, little changed from the $740.57 they spent last year. The forecast is based on a survey by research firm BIGinsight.
"We've seen this pattern of cautious optimism all year, and despite the challenges that still exist in our economy, it looks as if consumers are eager to celebrate with friends and family," Matthew Shay, National Retail Federation president and chief executive officer, said when the survey results were released.
Of those polled, 52.3 percent said the economy would affect their spending plans this year, down from 62.2 percent in last year's survey.
More than half said they would shop online, a new high for the annual poll. The National Retail Federation's digital division, shop.org, forecasts that online Christmas sales will grow by $96 billion, a 12 percent increase.
About 7 a.m. Friday, Donna Hughes, 54, was at the Target store on Chenal Parkway in Little Rock with daughters Aimee Hubmann, 29, and Allison Thorton, 31.
Hughes said she has shopped on Black Friday since before her daughters were born.
The Target stop was the sixth store they had visited since they started their spree at Kohl's shortly after that store's midnight opening.
"We do this every year," Hughes said. "It's kind of a tradition for us."
Hughes and her daughters said they didn't give up their Thanksgiving celebration to stand in line outside Wal-Mart and Target, which opened Thursday at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., respectively.
"We didn't sacrifice our family time for any merchandise," Hubmann said.
Thorton echoed her mom. "It's about the tradition for us."
"I would not do this if I had to be alone," Hubmann said. "We make memories."
Research by Ryan Levesque of Austin, Texas, who runs several marketing firms — including LTP Marketing LLC — found that two-thirds of those polled said retailers had "gone too far" this year pushing Black Friday sales into Thursday. The sentiment was even more pronounced among the baby-boom generation, at 79 percent.
"It seems like they're earlier and earlier," Levesque said. "Do the dishes and wait in line is what some people will be doing this year," he said earlier this week.
Only half of the 18-24 age bracket objected to the Thanksgiving Day openings. But Levesque noted that the boomer generation has considerably more spending power than does the younger group.
Employees at the earlyopening stores said it's not always sales that draw shoppers in on Black Friday.
"For some people this is tradition," Daymond Smalls, sales representative at the Chenal Parkway Target, said Thursday.
The line of people waiting to get into the Best Buy on Chenal Parkway before midnight Thursday snaked around to neighboring FaithSpring Church, which shares a building with the electronics store, said Tara Prince, a sales representative for the company.
She said many people were in line to buy Toshiba 40-inch TVs that were on sale for $179.99 — $240 off the regular retail price.
Best Buy also offered many of its Black Friday deals online. Prince said she didn't think the Internet deals influenced the size of the crowd.
"We were super, super busy when we opened this morning," she said. "A lot of people do Black Friday as a tradition, so I don't think it [the Internet] has a lot of effect."
Ammy Theobald of Maumelle, who was at Best Buy to purchase a new television, said she took advantage of some of the online deals.
Theobald, 44, said the line outside the Kohl's in Sherwood was so long when she got there at 1 a.m. that she bought a silverware set from Kohl's using her daughter's cell phone rather than deal with the crowd.
"I sat in the parking lot and ordered it online with free shipping," she said.
Protests at some Wal-Mart stores around the country, organized by union-backed groups to object to employee compensation and working conditions, failed to deter shoppers as the retailer reported larger Black Friday crowds than last year.
About a dozen protesters stood outside the Wal-Mart store at Bowman Road and Chenal Parkway on Friday. Members of Occupy Little Rock and the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union handed fliers to motorists entering the parking lot, urging them to tell Wal-Mart it is "wrong to silence its workers."
Last week, Wal-Mart sought an injunction from the National Labor Relations Board to stop the protests, but the agency said Friday that it was a complex issue and no ruling would be made until next week.

Movie Description(Click Here To Hide)
Clint Eastwood directs this drama written by Peter Morgan about contact between living people and the dead. The film intercuts three separate stories that don't converge until near the end. One centers on George (Matt Damon), a San Francisco factory worker who seemingly can connect people with their dead relatives, though he views the capability as a curse. A second story is about a Paris-based woman (Cécile de France) who is in Thailand when she has a near-death vision during a tsunami. The third story involves 12-year-old British twin boys, one of whom is killed in an accident.

IRVINE – A fourth straight weekend away from home marked another weekend of progress for the Burroughs boys basketball team.
IRVINE – A fourth straight weekend away from home marked another weekend of progress for the Burroughs boys basketball team. The Burros finished 2-3 at the UC Irvine team camp, and ended the tournament with a short-handed win on Sunday.
"I'm pleased with where we're going," head coach Doug Hayes said. "I'm pleased with the progress we're making and I think we're on schedule."
Burroughs beat Citrus Valley (Redlands) in its tournament finale on Sunday despite playing without Calvin Martin. Martin landed on his elbow on Saturday and sat out the Burros' narrow win over the Blackhawks.
"It was a close game the whole way and in the last 20 seconds it was foul, foul, foul, foul and we did a good job of holding onto the basketball," Hayes said. "Eventually we got to the free-throw line and made our free throws."
Jalen Cross and Biggie Hernandez filled in for Martin at power forward in Sunday's game. Burroughs also changed its strategy to offset the loss of its athletic big man.
"We did a lot better job of penetrating the area we call the rectangle – that high part of the paint near the free-throw line – and when we got there we were able to get a lot more open shots," Hayes said.
Hayes said that Michael Polman took command of the Citrus Valley game by driving into the paint and making plays. Burroughs' point guard has also been handling defensive pressure better as the summer progresses.
"People are realizing that they can't keep him in front of them so they grab and pull and push and hold, and being able to play under that physical nature of the game is really starting to come around for him," Hayes said.
After splitting its games on Friday, Burroughs lost twice on Saturday. The Burros lost Martin early in the second half of their loss against Jurupa Hills (Fontana). That defeat came after a loss to Valencia (Placentia) to conclude pool play.
"It was alright for awhile and then we started doing some crazy stuff – I didn't think we played very well," Hayes said. "We went to bouncing the basketball on the perimeter and we did a lot of standing and watching – things that we've been working on getting over. When we do those things, it's not very pretty."
During the five-game weekend at UC Irvine, Hayes said that Hernandez, Cross and Alexander Ledford rebounded well. He said that Matthew Polman had a good weekend shooting the ball and Tyron Jones had a solid all-around performance.
"Tyron really hustled out there and got into passing lanes, created some disruption and made some really good penetrations and drives to the basket," Hayes said.
Burroughs is currently 9-8 after four weeks of summer play. The Burros return to action locally this weekend in the Cerro Coso tournament, which starts Friday at the Ray McCue Center.
"Everybody is always excited to stay home and play in front of their friends and family," Hayes said. "That'll be fun, and everyone is looking forward to being around."

Joseph W. McQuaid: Prizes & playoffs: Well done, UNH
December 09. 2013 6:43PM
Notwithstanding its problems with a new logo, the University of New Hampshire is doing a lot of things right these days.
We aren't sure what Wildcat stamp may be on it, but a satellite launched out at Vandenberg Air Force Base last week has all the markings of work done by UNH scientists.
Meanwhile, two national mathematics prizes, one awarded only once every three years, are going to a UNH lecturer who found his way to freedom in Durham from Mao's Communist Chinese "cultural revolution." Another UNH teacher, featured in a recent issue of our Sunday News, has been awarded two major book prizes for his historical work on Atlantic fishing.
And then there is the little matter of the UNH football team that has won two playoff games and is in the national quarterfinals this Saturday night, showing a can-do, never-give-up attitude of the first order.
UNH graduate student Alex Crew, working under Harlan Spence at the school's Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space, built the satellites that will probe microbursts in a radiation belt that can jeopardize further space exploration. Look for more news on the "FIREBIRD" satellite program in the future.
We will have a story upcoming on Yitang "Tom" Zhang, who will receive the two math prizes for his work on one of the oldest problems in number theory. the "Twin Prime Conjecture." We don't begin to know math, but it sounds like Zhang would know just how many versions of a UNH logo are still out there in the universe.
W. Jeffrey Bolster's book, "The Mortal Sea," has garnered the American history professor international acclaim, including Columbia University's Bancroft Prize, the American Historical Assn. Albert J. Beveridge Prize, and the James Rawley Prize in Atlantic History.
These are all big deals and justifiable points of pride for UNH. Well done.

No, you won't always get Kuchipatchi on you're first. You'll always get Ichigotchi on your first. Otherwise you'll only get Ichigotchi 2nd Generation and up. And he was right, it won't evolve anymore.

CHICAGO (AP) – Two rescued California sea lions, including a pup found blinded from gunshot wounds, now have a home at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.
The blind 9-month-old male pup comes to Chicago from The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, Calif. Aquarium officials say the pup is the first blind marine mammal to undergo rehabilitation at Shedd. The adult male sea lion comes from the Bonneville Dam areas of Oregon and Washington.
The blind pup is named Cruz, because he was found in July on a Santa Cruz, Calif., beach. The 500-pound adult sea lion is named Tanner after Tanner Creek near the

"What on earth is that?" I peered over his shoulder, and gasped when I saw the signature at the foot of the letter. James Stuart, by the grace of God King of England and Scotland.
"Bloody Christ! It worked, then!" Swinging around, I spotted Fergus, crouched on a stool in front of the fire, industriously stuffing pastries into his face. "Good lad," I said, smiling at him. He grinned back at me, cheeks puffed like a chipmunk's with chestnut tart.
"We got it from the papal messenger," Jamie explained, coming to the surface long enough to realize I was there. "Fergus took it from the bag while he was eating supper in a tavern. He'll spend the night there, so we'll have to put this back before morning. No difficulties there, Fergus?"
The boy swallowed and shook his head. "No, milord. He sleeps alone — not trusting his bedmates not to steal the contents of his bag." He grinned derisively at this. "The second window on the left, above the stables." He waved an airy hand, the deft, grubby fingers reaching for another pie. "It is nothing, milord."

ABC's hilarious sitcom "Happy Endings" returns for its third season Tuesday with Dave (Zachary Knighton) and Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) being none too casual about their casual dating, while Jane (Eliza Coupe) encourages her unemployed hubby, Brad (Daman Wayans Jr.), to rekindle his interest in ventriloquism with a dummy named Sinbrad.
But the funniest scenes in "Cazsh Dummy Spillionaires" belong to Penny (Casey Wilson), who is stuck in a body cast and relying on Max (Adam Pally) to be her nurse. That doesn't go so well when he meets her hot physical therapist.
"I can't believe you've been holding me hostage in my own body cast," she says. "You're 'Misery'-ing me!"
What's miserable for Penny is awesome for viewers. Wilson is truly fearless, which is why I love her. "Happy Endings" airs at 8 p.m. CT on ABC.
ABC's "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" follows "Happy Endings" with its second season premiere at 8:30 p.m. CT.
In "A Reunion," James Van Der Beek tries to reunite the "Dawson's Creek" gang after June (Dreama Walker) talks him into it. Chloe (Krysten Ritter) doesn't think it's such a good idea. Busy Philipps and a couple of famous former child (and current adult) stars make cameos.
It's a fun episode; Van Der Beek's good-sported spoofing of his past is still the best thing about the show.

I´ve tried to play this game several times in my pda in nop´s dosbox with overclocking and other tricks but It´s almost impossible at that velocity.
I´ve downloaded the last buildbot of wince port and adding games I´ve added GK by mistake. I´ve tried to launch GK When I´ve seen this game in the list of added games... and This game runs fine.
Is it possible to play GK in scumm?
Are some issus that don´t let finish the game?
GK is completable, but it suffers from certain graphics glitches that prevent it from being supported. You can play and finish it, but there are places that don't work as expected.
Thank you for this superfast answer.
I´m going to play this golden old game couse everyone who has played it seems to agree with the idea that Gabriel Knight is almost the best adventure ever.

Taj Cross Strap Sandals is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rik555 from Sexy sandal, ankle strap defective?? As another reviewer pointed out, the strap around the ankle is way too big or either defective. Hot shoe, but way to loose around ankle. Sadly, I will be returning.

Rated 2 out of 5 by BebeAddict410 from Straps too bulky When I received these shoes in the mail I was so excited until I tried them on. The straps don't fit, they are bulky and show a gap. I'm not sure if I have a defective pair but I will be returning these shoes to the store.

Cruise to A Land of Discovery
When it comes to exploring the isle of Korcula, you'll be following in the footsteps of legends and fellow world travelers alike. For not only is the island said to have been founded by a Trojan hero in 12th century BC, but it's also reputed to be the birthplace of Marco Polo.
So the first thing you'll probably want to do upon arrival here is check out all things Marco-related: Visit the Marco Polo Museum and climb the steps of the Marco Polo Tower, believed to be the house where you-know-who was born in 1254. Next up, Croatian snack time!
In Korcula that would mean a glass of locally made white wine or a glass of grk—fun to say, even better to drink. Produced only in the hills near Lumbarda, this rare wine is the perfect match for the local artisan cheeses found in market stalls. And if you must, you could "settle" for the more common pošip varietal.
Then it's time to do a little exploring of your own of Korcula Town. Surrounded by walls, towers and gates, the medieval town is very pedestrian friendly, and spans out like a fishbone, with marble streets that branch off. And just like the great adventurers of the past, you can regale your friends and family with tales of exotic lands once you return from your journey at sea.

Savor the smells, sights and tastes of Korcula, on marble streets surrounded by walls, towers, and gates. The medieval old town feels like a museum in itself, but worth exploring are the Museum of Korcula, the Bishop's Treasury of Korcula, and Marco Polo House.
Hire a water taxi to take you to Badija, the largest island in the Skoji archipelago. This unpopulated and richly forested island is home to a 14th century Franciscan monastery.

The Old Town of Korcula is a masterwork of architecture and urban planning. The fishbone layout of the town streets take advantage of the different winds to clear the air—something like a natural air conditioning system.

Walmart takes legal step to stop workers' Black Friday ralliesBy JESSICA WOHL
November 18. 2012 9:58PM
Walmart Stores Inc is taking its first legal step to stop months of protests and rallies outside Walmart stores, targeting the union that it says is behind such actions.
Walmart filed an unfair labor practice charge Friday against the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, or UFCW, asking the National Labor Relations Board to halt what the retailer says are unlawful attempts to disrupt its business.
The move comes just before what is expected to be the largest organized action against the world's largest retailer, as a small group of Walmart workers prepare to strike on Black Friday, typically the busiest shopping day of the year.
The OUR Walmart group of current and former Walmart employees has been organizing 1,000 protests including strikes and what it called online actions that began last week and will culminate on Black Friday.
"We are taking this action now because we cannot allow the UFCW to continue to intentionally seek to create an environment that could directly and adversely impact our customers and associates," Walmart spokesman David Tovar said. "If they do, they will be held accountable."
The union is undeterred. "Walmart is grasping at straws," said UFCW Communications Director Jill Cashen. "There's nothing in the law that gives an employer the right to silence workers and citizens."
Protests and rallies outside Walmart stores around the country and other actions such as flash mobs have been orchestrated by groups including OUR Walmart, a coalition of thousands of current and former Walmart workers that wants to collectively push for better wages, benefits and working conditions.
"Wal-Mart is in effect firing a shot across the bow of the UFCW, essentially saying 'Look, you can expect this and more unless you desist,'" said Harley Shaiken, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in labor issues.
Filing with the NLRB suggests that the protests have caught the attention of Walmart, which has no union-represented workers in the United States.
OUR Walmart and another group, Making Change at Walmart, are affiliated with the UFCW, which represents more than 1 million workers including many at retailers that compete with Walmart. According to a filing with the Labor Department, OUR Walmart was a subsidiary of the UFCW as of 2011.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — A Nigerian Islamic militant leader with an American $7-million bounty on his head boasts in a new video obtained Monday that he commanded the Oct. 23 battle that killed at least 127 people — a show of strength in the face of a nearly six-month-long military crackdown.
All but two victims were combatants killed during five hours of fierce fighting in the Yobe state capital, Damaturu. It was the first major attack in months on an urban center during an Islamic uprising that has terrorized northeast Nigeria.
Security forces swiftly freed major towns under the sway of the religious extremists after a state of emergency imposed in mid-May. But they have been struggling to hunt down Boko Haram militants in hideouts in local forests and caves and across borders with Cameroon, Chad and Niger, from which they emerge to attack schools and villages. Hundreds of civilians, mainly Muslims, have been killed by the militants in recent weeks, with some 40 killed in recent days.
Abubakar Shekau's video, dubbed The Battle of Damaturu, shows the bearded extremist leader in military camouflage, cradling an AK-47 automatic rifle and speaking in Arabic, Hausa and his native Kanuri as he sings the praises of Allah. The United States put a reward of $7 million dollars on Shekau's head in June, indicating the importance they give to the uprising that poses the biggest threat in decades to Nigeria's security.
"My brethren, this is the story I want to tell my brothers and the whole world: All this weaponry that you are seeing — it is Allah who gave this to his worshippers who are fighting for Jihad — all this ammunition was obtained in just one place," Shekau says.
The blurry video pans to a masked fighter standing amid hundreds of guns and ammunition belts and scores of boxes — all of which Shekau claims was captured in Damaturu. He said he does not need to tell the world how many soldiers were killed and accuses the military of lying about its casualties.
Nigeria's military says it killed a total of 95 insurgents and lost 22 soldiers and eight police officers that day, when the insurgents set ablaze four police command posts and an army barracks. An AP reporter who visited the mortuary counted 17 bodies in police uniform and 31 bodies said to belong to extremists.
Meanwhile, at least another 40 civilians were killed and hundreds of homes set ablaze in attacks by suspected militants over the last several days, the chairman of Bama local council in Borno state, Baba Shehu Gulumba, told reporters Monday in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital that once was a stronghold of the group.
He said the attacks had huge economic costs with the worst fatalities in Bama town, where 27 civilians were killed on Thursday.
"Boko Haram burnt 300 houses, 20 shops, 204 livestock, 35 motorcycles, 15 cars , 250 sewing machines, 450 bags of cereal and cash estimated at 3.5 million naira (nearly $22,000)," in Bama, Gulumba said.
Another 13 people were killed at a highway junction in the area on Friday, he said. He appealed for more security forces to be deployed.
Bama, 70 kilometers (45 miles) from Maiduguri, is in the same area that suspected militants on Saturday attacked a wedding convoy, with authorities giving conflicting accounts of the death toll ranging from five to as many as 30, including the groom.
News of attacks is often slow to emerge since the military in May blocked cell phone services, saying the extremists were using the networks to coordinate attacks. Landlines don't work in Nigeria.
The battle in Damaturu overshadowed a major victory in which the military in neighboring Borno state said they bombed two "terrorist camps" and followed through with ground assaults that killed 74 insurgents while two soldiers were wounded.
AP photographer Sunday Alamba contributed to this report from Lagos, Nigeria.

Description: Renowned bladesmith Masami Asai passed away in the summer of 2014. He will be greatly missed � as a person, an artist, and one of the truly great knifemakers of Japan. Before his passing, his apprentice, Yamamoto, was given the right to continue to make knives under the Asai name. We are working with Yamamoto-san to determine which knife lines will be continued. We regret that this means that only those knives that are in stock can be ordered at this time.Sujihiki are slicers or carving knives that are well suited for slicing and portioning meats and fish due to the thin, long blade. Extremely sharp, they are also well suited to preparing sushi and sashimi.
Each knife is individually hand-forged beginning with an SG2 powdered metallurgical (PM) stainless steel core (hagane). The smaller crystalline size of this PM steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any stainless steel. The central core is surrounded by many layers of deeply etched nickel Damascus. These many layers of steel result in a surface that helps food release from the knife's side when cut. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and beauty. The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance and has an extremely thin, keen edge for the highest performance.
The "Wa" style handle is octagon in shape and is sculpted from macassar ebony with a Pakkawood ferrule. This natural, ambidextrous handle style is easy to grip and lasts a lifetime. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.

On January 9, we removed nearly 3 seasons of full episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We did this at the request of the content owner. Despite Hulu's opinion and position on such content removals (which we share liberally with all of our content partners), these things do happen and will continue to happen on the Hulu service with regards to some television series. As power users of Hulu have seen, we've added a large amount of content to the library each month, and every once in a while we are required to remove some content as well.
This blog post, however, is not about the fact that episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia were taken down. Rather, this blog post is to communicate to our users that we screwed up royally with regards to how we handled this specific content removal and to apologize for our lack of strong execution. We gave effectively no notice to our users that these Sunny episodes would be coming off the service. We handled this in precisely the opposite way that we should have. We believe that our users deserve the decency of a reasonable warning before content is taken down from the Hulu service. Please accept our apologies.
Given the very reasonable user feedback that we have received on this topic (we read every twitter, email and post), we have just re-posted all of the episodes that we had previously removed. I'd like to point out to our users that the content owner in this case — FX Networks — was very quick to say yes to our request to give users reasonable advance notice here, despite the fact that it was the Hulu team that dropped the ball. We have re-posted all of the episodes in the interest of giving people advance notice before the episodes will be taken down two weeks from today. The episodes will be taken down on January 25, 2009. Unfortunately we do not have the permission to keep the specific episodes up on Hulu beyond that. We hope that the additional two weeks of availability will help to address some of the frustration that was felt over the past few days.
The team at Hulu is doing our best to make lemonade out of lemons on this one, but it's not easy given how poorly we executed here. Please know that we will do our best to learn from this mistake such that the Hulu user experience benefits in other ways down the road.

I love new "glass" – that's what we photo junkies call lenses. For a while I've wanted Nikon's 35mm 1.4 G. It's a great focal length for nearly all occasions and you can't beat the 1.4. I recently got a great deal from National Camera in Minneapolis and couldn't pass it up. This past weekend I put the lens through its paces. These are all shot at 1.4. I can't get over how sharp they are in the foreground and how beautiful the bokeh.
This first one is from an outside skating area. It's the day after Cora lost 1 of her front teeth.
Same location as the first photo. We've been teaching John how to skate. On the advice of someone else, I bought him a hockey stick and it's made a huge difference in how well balanced he is on the ice.
Picked Cora up some acrylic paint and canvas. This was her attempt at painting my portrait.
Ordered this custom super hero cape from Etsy. He's in love with it.

"And forward fold, place your hands on the floor. Bent knees are okay here....actually bent knees are okay for the rest of your life!"
Basically what she was saying is - it's okay to make this easy for yourself.
And not just right here, for this particular forward fold...it's okay to make your life easier ALWAYS.
As soon as I heard my teacher say this, my face split into a crazy grin. I instantly loved this idea and kept repeating it to myself.
I love this idea because I'm usually working in the exact opposite direction. I'm the queen of complication. I over think things until I give myself a headache. I plan until I'm crazy overwhelmed with details, and then I plan some more just to make sure everything will be just right.
But sometimes, I just need to step back, take a break, and make my life easier, even if it's as simple as bending my knees so I can ease into a yoga pose, let my muscles relax, and then stand stronger within the pose for a longer period of time.
I know I've talked a lot this year about perfection - why we strive for it, but how it can also hold us back because the time taken to rip out every offending stitch is time we could be quilting and building skill.
Lately I've been trying to ease up on myself and practice what I've been preaching!
More specifically, I've been quickly quilting through my batting test sandwiches. Because this is quick quilting, I've not bothered with quilting perfectly on the lines or even within the ditches, and my travel stitching is a total mess.
Yes, this is what my brain likes to do. Run wild with accusations and "what if's" and obsess about the thoughts other people have, which I can't control even if I tried.
I know this, and these days I can at least smile at my silly brain, but it still takes effort not to pick up my seam ripper and obsessively rip out every imperfect stitch.
But when I think of that yoga line - it's okay to bend your knees, it's okay to be easy on yourself. It's okay! - I feel less panicked and more willing to accept myself and my stitches no matter how they look.
So yeah, that line of panicked thinking is still there, but today at least, I'm going to bend my knees, make my life a little easier, and focus on the fun of quilting all these squishy sandwiches and seeing what batting becomes my new favorite.
Isn't it nice to have a reminder that life really can be easy? Just bend your knees and ease into it!
Let's go quilt,

Digestive Disorders
Correlation Between Eating and Evacuating
I have not seen this question anywhere. After eating, within 30 minutes, I must evacuate stool. What is correclation between eating and feeling the need to evacuate? This is embarrassing if we are eating out. Is there something about the sphincter muscle involved? What triggers the colon to start evacuating that fast. I also have a chronic non healing anal fissure. Thank you.
That is a form of irritable bowel. There is a gastro (stomach)- colic (colon) communication which when food hits the stomach tells the colon to start contracting. You just have a strong reflex. No meds for that. Imodium may help when eating out. Anal fissures which do not heal usually need surgery.
