Something has to replace my deep love of peanut butter. Sure for those of you who have self control, peanut butter can be wonderful – limited to a one tablespoon serving that you savor. But for me - I prefer it by the spoonful right out of the jar and smeared on almost anything – including my finger – and I consume hundreds, if not thousands of calories, in an instant. So that brings me to today’s recipe for apple butter, which I love anyway and am hoping will help me to cut back on the peanut butter. Try it on chicken or pork, and it is great in oatmeal, smeared on toast or a sandwich, or even in low fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or low fat vanilla ice cream.

The Cure tonight played the first of at least 19 European festival headlining dates on the books this summer, and Robert Smith had a little secret to reveal at Holland’s famed Pinkpop Festival: guitarist Reeves Gabrels, a former David Bowie collaborator who previously recorded with Smith in the late ’90s.
Smith has not made an announcement regarding Gabrels’ addition to the lineup — and generally hasn’t announced lineup changes in recent years — but musician Jenn Vix, who released a song with Gabrels earlier this year, tells Slicing Up Eyeballs that Gabrels will play all of The Cure’s summer festival dates. (Chain of Flowers notes Gabrels is a guest, not a full member of the band.)
Later this evening, Vix posted the following statement from Gabrels on her Facebook page:
“For all my friends who have been wondering where I have disappeared to for the last few weeks… I am playing guitar with The Cure. We will be doing festivals throughout Europe this summer” — Reeves Gabrels
Gabrels — a member of Tin Machine who worked on Bowie’s ’90s albums — played on The Cure’s 1997 single “Wrong Number,” and during the same session, recorded the single “A Sign From God,” released under the band name COGASM. Smith later appeared on Gabrels’ 2000 album Ulysses, singing “Yesterday’s Gone.”
Tonight, The Cure — also featuring bassist Simon Gallup, keyboard player Roger O’Donnell and drummer Jason Cooper — played a 30-song set that downplayed the early-career material that was the focus of last year’s Reflections concerts, instead trotting out surprises like what appears to be the first performance of The Top track “Bananafishbones” since 1984 and an unusually high number of songs from 1992′s Wish (five, including the “Trust” and “Doing the Unstuck”).
The full setlist and a host of video, via the ever-reliable Chain of Flowers, is reproduced below. At the top of this page is Saturday’s 50-minute webcast (“Friday I’m in Love,” “Doing the Unstuck,” “Trust,” “Want,” “Wrong Number,” “One Hundred Years,” “Disintegration,” “Lovecats” and some of “Close To Me”). Below, you can find Sunday’s webcast, which was shorter and duplicates much of Saturday’s, but opens with “Lullaby” and features “Sleep When I’m Dead” and “Why Can’t I Be You?” at end. Plus a number of individual clips.

Why does Europe only get these shows?
at 11:46 am
Oh Reeves Gabrels joins the Cure, big whoop! Does it even matter who’s in this travesty of a band anymore? Its always been Robert Smith and his backing band, just like NIN. These videos suggest that Smith is merely doing this purely out of boredom now, he has nothing left to offer. Dull, boring.
I did love the Cure when i was a teen, if only he had stopped then and left me with a decent memory of his band.
at 7:48 pm
Nobody is worse than Madonna.
at 9:07 pm
I think there are some unfair comments here; I must admit, I don’t think they’ve done a good album since Disintegration (how could you top that mighty achievement?) but they are still a force to be reckoned with in the live arena. Bob is a wealthy fella…he wouldn’t be doing these shows if he wasn’t enjoying them, and he is giving vast amounts of enjoyment to his audiences…the band often play upwards of 3 hours for their own (non-festival) shows.
As much as I often “wish” (pun intended) for another great Cure album…I know this will probably never happen…but if Bob wants to keep playing and people still enjoy seeing the band…where is the harm? With shows as jaw-droppingly amazing as the recent “Reflections” concerts; they can hardly be accused of soiling their legacy.
That last album was a right dud though. Meat and potatoes rock with no magic.
at 12:49 am
I’m 19 years old and a new fan and I DEFINITELY enjoy their music, I bet they are still play music for the young audience now…Not just for you people who are stuck in the past and hates them now. Looking forward to see them in the near future!
at 10:54 am
Spoken just like I’d expect a 19 year old twat to speak.
at 7:53 am
@Mike C: Ha, i’m no fan of Madonna but compared to Smith, at least she’s still pushing forward.
@Nhadz: Thats cool, but to say we are stuck in the past is false when clearly it is Robert Smith who is still stuck somewhere between 1989 and 1993. The Cure have become the post-punk version of The Rolling Stones, they just wont stop despite having nothing left to offer or even prove, the last two albums in particular were simply awful and merely an excuse to have something out there for their deluded army of fans, the rest of the music loving world stopped paying attention in the mid 90s. As you can see from those videos, not one new track was presented, this is a band going nowhere.
at 7:57 am
And if you,d like to see a band who still have something to offer in the way of new music, great live show and general purpose, dont miss the return of Depeche Mode in 2013 ;)
at 9:26 am
@ Paul: Right on about Depeche Mode. Duran too. Both those bands put out amazing albums. In Sympathy and Girl Panic ! are classics.
at 9:41 am
Yes to be fair, Duran Duran’s last effort was pretty good, i still think they were wrong to fire Warren Cuccurullo though.
Saw them live a few times between 2004 -08, great shows.
at 7:32 am
Sweetheart, Happy 40th! I cleaned your underwear, put the want-ads on the fridge and cooked your favorite–banana pancakes! Why don’t you leave the basement today–it’s a beautiful afternoon. Love, Mom
at 10:04 am
Why all The Cure bashing? I actually think it’s pretty cool they dusted off a couple songs from ‘Wild Mood Swings’ (the most hated record on the planet, but I like it :-)
I do wish they’d stop opening each show with either “Open” or “Plainsong”, it gets stale.
I agree about Depeche and Duran, both bands are still making excellent music (Duran’s “Girl Panic!” is one of the coolest songs ever written)
at 11:21 am
“it gets stale”
Thats why.
at 9:02 pm
Didn’t bother with the last Duran Duran, but the last Depeche Mode was the weakest in a line of albums that has grown successively weaker since “Ultra”, their last solid record.
Admittedly Bob looks none too good here (resembling Ian Dury at times) but the music rocks. I’m glad he hasn’t retired.
at 4:58 am
Depeche Mode’s last album SOTU was good but not great, however the previous album, Playing The Angel, was their best since their early 90s heyday.
at 10:37 pm
Bananafishbones was the only ‘real’ rarity played. Everything else has been played many times before in the last decade or sooner.
Pretty standard set list.
However, at least The Cure throw out even one old nugget for the fans. Go see your beloved Depeche Mode: they play the same hits every damn tour. Same thing with Duran Duran. Both of those bands play an 18 – 20 song ‘greatest hits’ setlist with a few new tunes, while The Cure plays full albums, and 30 songs including rare ones.
I’ll take The Cure anyday over those two.
at 10:45 pm
@ Paul ,The Cure really haven’t put out a consistently good album since ‘Wish’.
‘Wild Mood Swings’ was garbage, ‘Bloodflowers’ was okay and had it’s moments – but nothing great, ‘The Cure’ was garbage, and ’4:13 Dream’ was uninspired drivel.
But they are a great touring act. Again, you think Duran Duran or Depeche Mode would play more than 20 songs, bsides, rare album tracks or dare play a full album? Not a chance. For those bands it’s a cash grab for the ‘greatest hits’ and that’s all you get.
at 4:58 am
@Stan: What you have to understand is this, yes the Cure play 3 hrs but thats because Robert Smith just stands there strumming whereas David Gahan is a true performer, he works the stage for 2 hours and engages with his audience, he cant keep that up for 3 hours!! Robert Smith doesnt seem to care that people need to catch the last train home and keeps bloody playing. Depeche Mode are an exciting live band, much me so than the Cure who seem to play for themselves.
Also, you may have noticed that Depeche Mode are an electronic band and it is actually difficult for them to play certain tracks, particularly the very early ones. Besides, Depeche Mode have always had a much broader audience than the Cure and most people that go to see them want to hear the well known songs. For me personally, i’ve seen them play four times and i have no complaints about their set lists, they always play at least 8 new tracks from the album they are currently promoting, whereas the Cure seemed to give up and become a museum, digging out b-sides!
at 7:29 pm
We actually left during the third encore of the last Cure show we went to. I appreciate the effort and all but it was getting late! Still, one gets their moneys worth at a Cure show. I like that they are breaking out some other things you might not expect to hear and there are somethings I wish they would never do again (Let’s Go To Bed being one).
Anytime they come to the Tampa area I will have tickets. Where I stop spending money is on new albums. 4:13 is a total turd. Wild Mood Swings wasn’t the crap people claim, though, it isn’t all good. Kiss MeX3, in my opinion, is a worse product. Yeah, I discovered the band because of that album and wore out multiple copies of the cassette but I can’t listen to it 25 years later. Their best days of recording have passed. Shows like Trilogy, Reflections and what may come do matter and as long as they continue to give the people what they want we will be there.
at 7:41 pm
One other point. Why is it hard for DM to play some of the more electronic tracks? Computers don’t get tired. That is nonsense. It’s like New Order being worn out because the synthesizer did all the work (they suck ass)
at 5:07 am
Depeche Mode’s 2009/2010 set list
In Chains (new)
Wrong (new)
Hole To Feed (new)
Walking In My Shoes (minor hit)
Its No Good (hit)
Precious (recent hit)
Fly On The Windscreen (rare, unplayed since 1993)
Jezebel (new)
Judas (rare, unplayed since 1993)
Home (minor hit)
Come Back (new)
Policy Of Truth (hit)
Peace (new)
In Your Room (minor hit)
I Feel You (hit)
Enjoy The Silence (hit)
Personal Jesus (hit)
Never Let Me Down Again (hit)
Stripped (hit)
Waiting For The Night (rare album track)
The band also diD acoustic versions of the 1998 b-side Surrender and the 1997 album track Insight.
Now, that is NOT a standard greatest hits set, it is a mixture of brand new songs at the time with a few hits, album tracks and a couple of rarities.
at 5:09 am
As for Duran, well i wasnt really implying anything by mentioning them, i liked them much better before that wretched reunion in 2004, however i enjoyed them live. | http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2012/05/26/cure-pinkpop-video-setlist-reeves-gabrels/ | 2013-05-18T10:40:52 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Office workers who work in certain industries need special computers to get their work done. A standard desktop that is used for checking email and writing word documents in a normal office just won’t cut it in a graphics design or CAD department. For this type of environment, a powerful workstation computer is needed.
HP has announced its new Z series workstations today that use the new Intel Xeon 5500 series processors. The new series includes the Z800, Z600, and Z400 workstations that are aimed at the CAD, engineering, medical imaging, finance and oil/gas industries. | http://www.slipperybrick.com/search/HP+graphics/page/5/ | 2013-05-18T10:41:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
If you have a garden or access to tomatoes from the farmers market, this is the time of year you're probably making pasta sauce for the freezer. I love making homemade pasta sauce, and using the slow cooker turns it into something that doesn't need to be watched. Here are eight fantastic slow cooker pasta ideas from food bloggers. Just click the recipe title link in the description under each photo to get that recipe from the original blog.
The gorgeous sauce shown above is Crockpot Turkey Bolognese Pasta Sauce from Jeanette's Healthy Living. This red sauce can be made with fresh tomatoes or canned and has some finely chopped carrot and celery as well as a little red wine to flavor the sauce.."
This Crock Pot Pasta Bolognese from I Wash You Dry uses lean ground beef, Italian Sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and a little evaporated milk for creaminess.
A slightly different take on Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce from On Top of Spaghetti. Eleni from Greece uses minced beef, a touch of vinegar, onions, tomatoes and a mix of spices that includes paprika, cinnamon, and allspice, among others.
This Slow Cooker Homemade Spaghetti Meat Sauce from Kitchen Parade has ground beef, onion, garlic, canned tomatoes and sauce, and spices that include ground fennel (one of my personal favorites to use in pasta sauce!)
This gorgeous jar of Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce is from Budget Bytes where Beth uses crushed tomatoes and tomato pasta and adds a touch of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to add flavor to this meatless sauce. Beth lets the sauce cool down in in jars overnight in the fridge and then transfers to freezer bags the next day to freeze the sauce.
Another take on Crockpot Bolognese Sauce from Skinnytaste, and this one has pancetta, onion, celery, carrots, lean ground beef, white wine, crushed tomatoes, and a little half-and-half added at the end.
And for a slightly different version of slow cooker pasta sauce, this Crockpot Sun-Dried Tomato and Caper Sauce from A Year of Slow Cooking combines fresh and sun-dried tomatoes and has extra flavor from the capers, onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

« : to all sharks that are brought to port.
.”.
Eu vessels land more than 100,000 tonnes of sharks and rays (mostly blue sharks) from around the world annually. Spain is consistently responsible for more than half of these landings and three-quarters of the blue sharks taken.
Currently, EU fishermen with special permits can remove shark fins at sea as long as States and Taiwan, are implementing ‘fins-attached’ policies.
The only permits that are still issued go to large Spanish and Portuguese longline vessels that catch sharks, mostly without limit, all over the world. A year ago, the commission proposed ending the permits because of difficulties with enforcement.

This week's choice was actually my pick! So, there's no doubt it would be Chris's favorite, and it was. Sammi chose it as her favorite so far too but Becky still prefers the peach. I think even Fala liked it best.
Crazy though, I didn't even get to serve this with apple crisp, or cobbler or pie, as it was gone before I had a chance to do any baking. I did get to serve it with a baked apple though on Saturday night.
I'm going to make it again this week and serve it on Rosh Hashanah I think with the cliche apple cake. Should be good.
1 C whole milk
3/4C sugar
pinch of salt
Ten 3-inch cinnamon sticks, broken up (I didn't measure how long mine were, just used McCormick - oh and some I broke in thirds, but the tougher ones just in half. Deborah, really busted hers though and described an intense cinnamon flavor where mine was more subtle)
2C heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
Warm the milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon sticks and 1C of the cream in a medium saucepan. Once warm, remove from heat, cover and let sit for an hour. (I forgot about this step in the process but luckily had enough time to allow for the stepping).
Rewarm the cinnamon-milk mixture. Remove the sticks with a slotted spoon and get rid of them. Pour the remaining cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top (you can see the Butterscotch Pecan Ice Cream for detailed instructions on this entire process). I put the bowl right into the ice bath at this point in time.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly (by the way, I used the towel trick here to hold the bowl steady and it worked! Basically, I wrapped a kitchen towel around the base of the bowl, because I only have two hands, one for pouring and one for whisking but I didn't want the bowl sliding all over the place. Dave suggests this in the book.), then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan as you go until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and into the cream that's in the bowl, that's in the ice bath (phew) and stir until cool.
Chill the mix thoroughly in the refrigerator (I do it overnight), and then freeze in your ice cream maker. It makes about 1qt. | http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/kim/archives/005767.html | 2013-05-18T11:02:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

I finished my first week of semi-intensive French at Alliance Francais here in Seattle. I have been studying grammar on my own and listening to podcasts. My favorite so far is Ma France video podcasts at the BBC Language. I also really enjoyed the French podcasts from the Australian site - World Languages Podcast.
But I also needed something that would force me to speak French before my class in Villefranche sur Mer. So I signed up for beginning French at Alliance Francais. I took two session back in 2000 before I went hiking in the Alpes Maritime. They were very good. Unfortunately, they only have Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced so I'm back at the very beginning.
The instructor is a young woman from Paris. She is very enthusiastic. The class has a mix of different level students. There are a couple of high school students who are doing additional study in summer. Everyone is there for fun. And I'm attempting to speak. My accent is terrible but this is good. I might be able to start a little bit beyond beginner when I get to France.
So far this week, we have learned to introduce ourselves, learned about feminine and masculine nouns, learned professions and a little bit of etiquette when meeting someone to understand when to use vous or tu.
The class is three days a week for two hours. It is disrupting our schedule but G is very supportive. I leave for work around 7:30, work until about 5:30, go to class and then getting home around 8:30 in time for a late dinner. My computer time is getting seriously impacted. But change is good. | http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/marta/archives/001888.html | 2013-05-18T10:53:39 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Utah’s Medicaid overhaul has hit a snag.
The state’s Office of the Inspector General is pressing to delay contract negotiations with four managed care groups that, starting in January 2013, will oversee care for 70 percent of the 252,000 Utahns on Medicaid. The experiment is intended to boost the quality of care and save taxpayers $770 million over seven years.
—
Speak out
At the request of consumer advocates, the Utah Department oh Health will seek public input on the managed care contracts at a forum on Sept. 5, 1:30 to 3 p.m. For more information, email volunteer@healthpolicyproject.org.
Whether those gains are realized rests on the strength of agreements struck with Intermountain Healthcare, University of Utah Health Sciences, Molina and IASIS, argued Inspector General Lee Wyckoff in an Aug. 2 memo to the state Department of Health.
"At this time," said Wyckoff, those agreements "lack proper controls."
The memo, obtained through a public records request, suggests putting contracts on hold until health officials:
• Perform a financial analysis of what the state expects to reap from its $600 million investment.
• Set a timeline for implementing the so-called "Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)" and a back-up plan if goals aren’t met.
• Come up with adequate measures to judge performance.
• And define "a clear mechanism" for the Inspector General to recoup misspent funds.
Wyckoff has no authority to stop the contracts, though his concerns are shared by Ron Bigelow, Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget. Bigelow met with health officials on Wednesday and gave them the go-ahead to release draft contracts to the managed care plans for review.
The documents are merely a starting point for five months of negotiation, said Utah Medicaid Director Michael Hales, stressing his willingness to work with Wyckoff to resolve problems. The contracts will be fine-tuned, and if endorsed by all parties, take effect Jan. 1, 2013. ACOs,.
"We’re devising a system where fraud, waste and abuse is less likely to occur," said Rep. Dean Sanpei, R-Provo, explaining there will no longer be an incentive for providers to order unnecessary tests or to overcharge for their services.
One of the sponsors of legislation to create the ACOs, Sanpei is also Vice President for Strategic Planning and Development for Intermountain Healthcare. Speaking Thursday as a policy maker, and not on behalf of Intermountain, he stressed the urgency of "building a better mousetrap."
In the past, the only way to curb Medicaid spending was to pare benefits or cut provider reimbursement, Sanpei said. "We said there’s got to be a better way to control costs without compromising quality and access to care."
The savings come from limiting inflation; funding for the ACO’s can’t grow faster than the state’s budget.
To guard against ACOs going over budget and rationing care, which happened with HMOs, the Health Department the authority to fine them and withhold future funding.
But consumer advocates say quality measures in place aren’t strong enough. "They’re either the same measures we have now, which are meaningless, or they’re left to the ACO’s to develop in isolation," making it impossible to compare one ACO with another, said Judi Hilman, Executive Director of the Utah Health Policy Project.
Of special worry to the Inspector General is the risk of ACOs gaming the system.
Though paid flat, up front rates, ACOs that wind up with older, sicker patients will be paid more than those with younger, healthier patients. So, to get more money, providers need only raise the severity of patient diagnoses — the equivalent of overbilling, only there are no bills for the Inspector General to review.Next Page >

More than 100 students broke into applause at Westminster College when the student senate announced a decision last month to not impeach the student body president for misconduct that included showing up drunk at a college-sponsored event at Fat Cats Bowling Alley in Salt Lake City.
But on Thursday, students were surprised to read a statement released from the Associated Students of Westminster College, stating Nick Raoux had been removed from his position as president through a decision made by the college.
Now, some students feel that their decision was overturned and their voice has no impact, leaving Mark Ferne, dean of students, fielding concerns about whether college administrators have overstepped their boundaries in regulating school government.
"Students can have and will continue to make change on this campus on a daily basis," Ferne said Friday, a day after news of Raoux's dismissal became public.
Citing student privacy laws, college officials declined to release details concerning the judicial hearing that resulted in Raoux's removal from office. Officials said evidence presented at the judicial hearing included information not presented to the student senate one reason administrators felt confident in making the decision to remove Raoux.
According to The Forum, the student newspaper at Westminster, Raoux was escorted by a police officer from the bowling alley after he urinated on the walls and floor of a bathroom. He also got into an argument with a Westminster staff member outside the business, calling her demeaning names, the paper reported.
He was also reprimanded after open alcoholic beverages were found locked in the student government's office.
Raoux on Friday said he disagrees with the decision to remove him from office over alcohol, particularly because he is 21 and the school is a "wet campus," which means drinking is allowed on certain areas of campus.
"They wanted to make an example of me," Raoux said. "I do not think I deserved to be removed from office over alcohol."
And apparently, neither did the students at Utah's only "wet campus," based on the student senate's 19 to 6 vote in support of Raoux.
The college's student handbook states that students of legal drinking age can only consume alcohol in their private dorm rooms. It prohibits students from drinking in their dorm rooms if anyone under 21 is present. Drinking alcohol anywhere else on campus, unless an alcohol permit has been provided for a college event, is prohibited.
After his punishment, the reality, Raoux said, is "We're more of a damp campus."
Raoux admits he misbehaved at Fat Cats and said he would work to make up for his inappropriate behavior.
But according to Raoux, a written and public apology, multiple sanctions and punishments, and a vote from the students in support of keeping Raoux in office was not enough for administrators. They wanted him removed from office, he said. And he said they told him if the student senate voted otherwise they would take matters into their own hands.
Raoux said Ferne asked him to resign from office nine times between the time of the consideration of his impeachment and his judicial hearing.
Raoux was subject to Westminster's Student Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Policy, resulting in a process that led to a review by a five-member board that made a recommendation to Ferne to remove Raoux from office.
The distinction between whether Raoux was punished as a student or punished as an elected official remains blurry, though college officials say he was treated the same as any other student.
"Five people decided, thought, their opinion was more powerful than the senate," Raoux said. "They were putting me on trial as the president. They can do whatever they want."
Despite the loss of their president, the student government has decided to move forward and look to the future, said Michael Toomey, the student spokesman for the group.
But that opinion is not held by the entire student government.
One senator started an event on Facebook called "Rally for Representation," which calls for all students to rally in the courtyard next week in opposition to the college's decision.
"We the students, united, refuse to be treated as powerless. We are Westminster College and the decisions of our elected representatives must be respected and upheld," the page states.
Another student, who serves on the executive cabinet of the student government but spoke to The Salt Lake Tribune on the terms that he was speaking as a student, not as a representative of ASWC, agreed that students should get to decide the fate of their elected officials.
"That's what is concerning to me," said Dexter Thomas, ASWC director of web communications, adding that he thinks Raoux was treated unfairly by the administration. "The ASWC President is held to a standard above all other students. He's being paraded around and scapegoated as a symbol."
If the issue was a code of conduct violation, Thomas said, the administration should have applied that form of discipline in the first place. But instead, they waited to see what the senate would decide and when they decided not to impeach, they went forward with their own investigation, which he said, school officials won't admit to.
"[This] sends the message that the student government is [a] powerless puppet government, not a real student government, not real student representatives," Thomas said. "[That's a] really bad message in my opinion to send."
He said this makes him angry, especially at a time when young people are so disillusioned with democracy that they won't even vote.
For now, Raoux said he plans to keep a low profile and focus on studying. He still has time to appeal the judicial hearing's decision, and he said if enough students show support, he will consider doing that.
"I want the administration to respond [to] why they'll take our money, but won't take our voice," Raoux said. "If anything my incident has exposed that our students don't have any representation. It's a false sense of representation...They want us to graduate and make an impact, [but] don't want us to have an impact on campus."

Athens, Ga. • Utah junior Stephanie McAllister, who won the all-around in the season opener, narrowly missed claiming another all-around title here at Georgia Saturday in the Utes' 195.9-195.8 win over the Gym Dogs.
McAllister scored a 39.3 to finish second to Georgia's Cassidy McComb who earned a 39.35.
McAllister posted 9.8s on the balance beam and floor, 9.825 on the vault and a 9.875 on the uneven bars. McComb's big score came on the floor where she earned a 9.925, which was enough to land her the all-around title but not enough to give her team the win.
McAllister admitted she felt some nerves but was able to shut them out after the coaches spoke to the team, she said.
"They told us to slow down and not get ahead of ourselves," she said. "They told us to calm down and do the things we talked about as a team and it helped."
McAllister's floor routine featured a full-in, which is the kind of difficulty she had in mind for her routines when she was putting in the long hours of training in the summer.
That kind of motivation is paying off for her now, said Utah coach Greg Marsden.
"What I love about Stephanie is right now she is thinking how she can improve," he said. "She is the one who wanted to change her leap combination and wanted to be more aggressive on floor. She is actively participating in her coaching and is working hard."
Marsden believes McAllister is setting an example for the rest of the team as well and the up-and-comers are following her lead.
"That is what is fun about this group, we aren't taking them somewhere kicking and screaming," he said. "They are active participants in what we are doing this year which has made them a lot of fun to work with." | http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/utes/51058090-89/mcallister-utah-team-floor.html.csp | 2013-05-18T11:06:02 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Treating our pets with topical medicines have become a very popular and convenient way to deal with a vast range of parasites over the last few years. There is no denying that these treatments work and that they are very effective but it has to be said that they are not to every-bodies liking. For those of us that do not like the idea of having any sort of residues left on our pets bodies then there are alternatives. If you just wish to deal with your dogs flea problems then you have the option of Comfortis this is a very effective oral flea control for dogs. Comfortis has only one active ingredient and this is Spinosad which is derived from a naturally occurring microbe that is found in the soil.
Comfortis attacks the fleas nervous system making it hyperactive and causing it to die very quickly before it has the chance to lay any eggs and because Comfortis works for a whole month any new fleas that try to attach to your pet are also quickly destroyed. If you wish to deal with internal parasites as well then it is possible to get a combined oral treatment that will deal with larval stage heartworm as well as roundworm, hookworm and whipworm.
Treating heartworm and intestinal parasites orally as well as fleas will be a job for Trifexis for dogs. This is also available as a beef flavored chewable treat. As with any ongoing medication it is a good idea to try and source the cheapest place to buy your medicines. When you look at the online pet meds site you will be given plenty of information as to the best products as well as the best prices. There are several ways to reduce the cost of your pets medicines, you could try buying in bulk or alternatively you could opt for generic treatments. Before deciding explore your options online this could save you a considerable amount of your hard earned cash. | http://www.smallguyseo.com/?p=6905 | 2013-05-18T10:12:01 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

By GLENN RUFFENACH.
About one in five employers, according to Plan Sponsor Council of America (PSCA), offers a self-directed brokerage option, in which workers with 401(k)s and related accounts can buy stocks, bonds and other assets. Also, three-quarters of employers -- and 86 percent of those with 5,000 or more plan participants -- permit "in-service withdrawals" (typically starting at age 59 1/2), where holdings can be pulled from accounts and rolled into IRAs.
Yes, this is a scary idea: people taking the wheel of their savings plans and, possibly, crashing into crazy investments. Most workers with these options, in fact, take a pass; less than 1 percent of plan assets are invested through self-directed accounts. Indeed, according to David Wray, president of PSCA, "401(k) participants are not retail investors -- picking individual stocks is way out of their thinking."
But I'm betting that, if you pursue either option, you're smart enough to do so gingerly. In which case, the potential payoff is that you get a jump on building income for retirement.
More people are recognizing the importance of having investments that generate cash in later life. This way, you aren't dependent on capital gains to meet expenses. What's less appreciated, though, is the value in identifying and assembling these investments early -- say, five or 10 years before retirement. If you can get a head start on building income at age 55 or 60, says Charles Farrell, chief executive at Northstar Investment Advisors in Denver, the compounding effects can move you closer to the point where you're living off the returns of your portfolio in retirement, rather than eating into the portfolio itself.
Dividend-paying stocks -- and an important concept called "yield on cost" -- are a good example of how this can work. Yield on cost is calculated by dividing a stock's current dividend by the amount originally paid for each share. Let's say you buy a stock for $12, and it pays a 3 percent annual dividend, or 36 cents. And let's say that after a year, the share price hits $16, and the company increases the dividend to 48 cents.
At this point, the payout is still 3 percent (48 cents is 3 percent of $16). But not for you. You paid $12 for your stock; thus, you're getting a dividend of 48 cents on $12 -- or 4 percent. So, your yield on cost is 4 percent. In other words, you're now earning a higher yield on your original investment, which puts more money in your pocket. If you're able to invest in companies with a long history of paying dividends -- where those dividends increase annually and the increases outpace inflation -- your yield on cost eventually should outshine the return on other investments.
Now, let's return to your 401(k), which likely holds the bulk of your retirement savings. Chances are good that the mutual funds in your account are yielding about 2 percent (or less) -- hardly the stuff of retirement dreams. (Inflation alone is running about 2.9 percent.) But if you could gain access to a wide range of investments, you could assemble -- today -- a group of dividend-paying stocks (again, with a steady history of payouts and dividend increases) that yields about 3.5 percent. Ideally, over time your yield on cost on these shares would rise significantly.
$179,600
- Average 401(k) for workers in their 50s with 20 to 30 years of tenure.
To see how this might work, I asked Charles Carnevale, founder of FAST Graphs, a website with a nifty set of stock-research tools, to calculate how yield on cost for several investments could change over time, based on analysts' current growth estimates. I picked Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble, each of which meets our criteria: an attractive current yield and a history of increasing payouts.
At the moment, the three stocks yield roughly 3.0 percent, 3.6 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively. In five years, the yield on cost for these stocks -- again, based on the companies' projected growth -- is expected to reach 4.6 percent, 4.7 percent and 4.8 percent. In five more years (should the current growth rate hold), the yield on cost for each would exceed 6 percent.
How could this help you? Remember: A 4 percent rate of withdrawal from a nest egg is traditionally considered a safe starting point. If you're thinking about drawing down your savings at that rate, "the growing yield on cost alone may meet your distribution needs in retirement," says Farrell.
If all this sounds too easy, you're right to be cautious. Dividends, of course, can be reduced or eliminated. (In 2008, Bank of America's quarterly payout was 64 cents; today it's a penny.) Companies don't always meet growth estimates. And some people simply aren't meant to manage their money: They buy and sell too frequently; they pick less-than-stellar investments (read: Enron); and they get hammered with trading fees.
That said, the need for dependable and growing income in later life is clear -- and if you can start the process early, so much the better. My advice: See what options you have with your 401(k). If you're able to take the reins, sit down with a financial adviser and discuss investments that fit your comfort level and future needs. The ride could be safer than you think. | http://www.smartmoney.com/retirement/planning/how-to-take-control-of-your-401k-1337109914200/?link=SM_clm_sum | 2013-05-18T10:22:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

maybe a typo ?
so then humans just need animal DNA to replace in the same manner, but this might be a mistake in writing/typing.. It would make more sense to use mouse DNA on mice in the first go around.

Date: December 13 2012
SWANS chairman Richard Colless has reached out to his Hawthorn and Adelaide counterparts in a bid to clear the air over his club's contentious cost-of-living allowance.
As Kurt Tippett prepares to be inducted into the ''Bloods code'', the Swans remain confident their extra money, which some clubs have claimed was used to help secure the power forward, will continue to be endorsed by the AFL.
Tippett fronted the media on Wednesday for the first time as a Swan, although he will have to wait 12 weeks into the home-and-away season before he can take to the field as a result of his suspension for draft and salary-cap manipulation.
Hawthorn president Andrew Newbold and Adelaide chairman Rob Chapman were critical of the living allowance afforded Sydney when it emerged last season's premier had the money to meet the former Crow's $900,000-a-year salary. The comments prompted the AFL Commission in October to order a review of the cost-of-living allowance, using Australian Bureau of Statistics data, with an update possible at Monday's last commission meeting of the year.
The Swans say the 9.8 per cent allowance, worth $944,000 in 2014, is needed to attract and retain talent.
''I have made the point, if there isn't a cost of living difference, then you shouldn't get it, it's as simple as that,'' said Swans chief executive Andrew Ireland.
''But I know through the research that the cost of living is substantially higher [in Sydney] than in any other part of Australia. On that side, it's a valid allowance to have. The other part that we get asked about is, in every player contract, there is a mandate that they get the allowance. What we know is that last year the 9.8 per cent was fully spent given to our players.''
Colless rang Newbold and Chapman to point out why the allowance was needed. ''Certainly, our chairman has had contact with those two clubs, just outlined the circumstances,'' Ireland said. ''They accepted it and thought it was reasonable.''
Ireland said Tippett had been embraced by the club and would be inducted into its famed code, a set of values designed to help players lead their lives as footballers and as men.
The tight-knit Swans used captain Jarrad McVeigh to formally welcome Tippett before the former Crow's first training session with his new teammates. ' code was seen as integral to the club's flags in 2005 and last season.
Coaching great Leigh Matthews has questioned whether Tippett's high salary would have a negative impact, but Ireland dismissed any concerns, and Tippett denied he had joined the Swans because of money.
''I look forward to playing football, settling in, training hard and preparing myself well and earning the guys' trust over the summer,'' he said. ''It's been a challenge for myself and my family, but I'm happy to put that all behind me now.''
The Swans will set the 202- centimetre, 104-kilogram forward a fitness program to have him in the best shape possible once his suspension is over. ''It's going to be a challenge, but they are the cards we've been dealt and we'll make the most of it,'' Tippett said. ''I'm getting stronger and faster each year, so I look to improve that. I also want to improve my goalkicking and my marking, so there's plenty to work on.''

Lao Village 
Noisy but nice...families and friends at Lao Village, in its 16th
year at Fairfield.

Part of the joy of being a food lover is that you don't have to be monogamous. Nobody minds if you play the field.
If you no longer have the hots for risotto and burn with passion for paella, no one's going to judge you. You can date an affogato a couple of times and forget it just as quickly without anyone accusing you of being heartless. Likewise, if you've ditched green curry for bulgogi or dumped antipasto for mezes, well, you're just exploring your inner global gourmand, aren't you?
There's nothing to stop you carrying on several love affairs simultaneously, either. Currently, I'm enamoured of anything rabbit (preferably as a terrine or a ragu), desserts with quinces, ashtar (the cooked cream used in Middle Eastern sweets), Syrian sambousek or savoury pastry, Italian mustard fruits, French cornichons, radicchio, fish soups from around the world - actually, I'd better stop or you'll think I'm a culinary Casanova.
Sometimes a risque menage a trois is possible when a new amour crosses over with a long-held love. Take quail - which I usually do whenever I can. My loyalty to them and my liking for Laotian food have just dovetailed as a dish at Lao Village.
This modest restaurant is in a small, one-way street that backs on to Fairfield station. It's been here for 15 years, opposite the glitzy Fairfield RSL, looking like a tugboat next to an ocean liner.
Before that, Lao Village was where the RSL stands but the village had to make way for the veteran and it moved across the road. These days, Lucky T. Mounarath, the son of the original owner, runs this cosy canteen and cooks the way his father and mother did.
We've arrived on a Sunday night, warm rain pouring down and street lights reflecting off the shiny footpaths. We open the screen door, shake the water off ourselves and step into a fluoro-bright room with china-blue walls, varnished pine panelling and faded prints.
The mood is buoyant and the place is full. We're lucky to scrape into the end of a long table, happy to share. Even before we get the menu, we're eyeing off the food that an assortment of families, young couples with babies and various loose configurations of friends is handing around.
We spot quail, brown and crisp, and a pile of fried rice dotted with spring onions, and pawpaw salad on every second table.
Our sophisticated point-and-ask technique earns us a serving of marinated, barbecued tongue, a seafood noodle dish and a basket of sticky rice, as well as quail, fried rice with pickled pork and pawpaw salad.
You can have this green fruit Thai style, with peanuts and fish sauce or, as we do, the Lao way with an earthy, muddy sauce; fishy and pungent. The salad cuts my palate dead momentarily because it's so fermented and hot. For a while I'm not sure whether the fried rice has any chilli in it, even though I can see the red flecks.
Nibbling the cabbage, lettuce and mint on a side plate brings back the feeling in my mouth and I can taste that the rice is lovely with its squeezes of lime and pickled flavour from the pink pieces of ham and the nutty peanuts.
Balance is restored to my gustatory universe.
Restoration of harmony is also helped by the smooth, limpid flat-rice noodles with bouncy prawns and springy squid in a sweet sauce.
The tongue, meanwhile, is firm and charred beautifully on the outside, slightly gamey, very clean.
I'm smitten by sticky rice that tastes wild and nutty (is this the start of a new love affair?) and which we roll into balls and dip into the pawpaw salad's dressing. As for the quail, they are spicy and salty and their little breasts and drumsticks are surprisingly meaty.
There's no dessert but you can get the Lao version of affogato - iced coffee made with instant, 100 per cent robusta beans and laced with so much sugar my temples throb.
This chilly head-spinner is not about to become my latest
amorata. I've got my eye on other temptations that we haven't
tried. I wouldn't mind a flirtation with spicy minced beef, beef
noodle soup, pork salad or pork sausages. Remember: no one gets
hurt when you fool around with food.

Bushfires, broken necks: nothing compares to pain of missing gold, says BMX star
Gutted ... Australia's Caroline Buchanan in tears after the final. Photo: Pat Scala
Bushfires, injuries and family pain - Caroline Buchanan has taken plenty of hits over the years, but nothing compared to the devastation she felt as her dream of Olympic gold disappeared in 38 seconds.
The Canberra rider couldn't contain her emotions after a "nightmare" BMX final in London.
It seriously feels like a nightmare. My house has burnt down, my brother has broken his neck, I've had setbacks in my life before but nothing compares to this
Instead of standing on top of the podium with a gold medal around her neck, the 21-year-old was trying to figure out where she went wrong as she crossed the line fifth.

Nothing could ease the heartbreak. After the heat of battle and with her emotions spilling over, a tearful Buchanan was inconsolable.
"You know what," Buchanan said before pausing to wipe away some tears. "It seriously feels like a nightmare."
"My house has burnt down, my brother has broken his neck, I've had setbacks in my life before but nothing compares to this."
As she braved the post-race media, it seemed as if the pain would never disappear.
In time it will pass as she regroups and, well, gets back on her bike.
A decade ago Buchanan's brother Sam broke his neck in a BMX race. The easy option then would have been to end her love of the adrenaline junkie sport.
In 2003 her family home in Canberra's south was destroyed by the bushfires which devastated the capital.
At the end of last year one of her closest friends, Dane Searls, died on the Gold Coast.
She's had injuries, been written off by critics and sacrificed a "normal life" to chase her BMX goals around the world.
But every time something has gone wrong, she has bounced back.
And as hard as it was to be hit with the realisation she didn't finish on the podium, there's already a fire burning in her stomach for the Rio Games in 2016.
"Right now it feels like a bit of a nightmare, I just want to get out of here. I've been riding great all day, this is the best I've ever rode in my life.
"I prepared well, I've done every single little one percenter that I could probably do leading into this race.
"I knew I had everything in my favour and I don't know if it was the pressure or what it was, but I missed the gate on an Olympic stage.
"I got fifth, I'm happy. But at the end of the day, I wanted gold."
It was hoped Buchanan and Sam Willoughby would take double gold for Australia. But while Willoughby won silver, Buchanan was left shattered.
Buchanan had been one of the best riders all day. Earlier in the week she had qualified fastest for the semi-finals in a solo race. But everything changes when there are eight riders jostling for position.
Despite the pressure of chasing her dream, Buchanan navigated the semi-finals with relative ease.
She booked her spot in the gold-medal race and she was poised to achieve what she had been chasing since the sport was added to the Olympic program.
Four years ago Buchanan was too young to compete in Beijing, depsite being one of the best riders in Australia.
Every day since she's worn the Olympic rings on a necklace given to her by parents Laurence and Gail.
London was supposed to be the stage she used to launch herself to the top of the sport.
She is No2 in the world and the time trial world champion. But when it came to the gold-medal race, she missed the start, fell behind and never recovered.
To describe it as heartbreaking is an understatement.
"I truly believe that it's all of the hard times that make you step up to the next level and that's what makes you a champion.
"I'm going to hold my head high and I've had a lot of setbacks in my life and a lot of hard races with things not going my way.
"I have no idea [what to do now]. This is not what I planned. I wanted a gold medal.
"I've got my whole family here for support but I guess I get on that plane home soon and start preparing for four years time in Rio."
There was drama and concern early in the day when Brazilian rider Squel Stein had an ugly crash on the second jump of her semi-final.
Stein was stretchered off the track and taken to hospital with her coaches yet to comment on her injuries. | http://www.smh.com.au/olympics/cycling-london-2012/bushfires-broken-necks-nothing-compares-to-pain-of-missing-gold-says-bmx-star-20120811-240jm.html | 2013-05-18T10:55:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of May 5, 2008
Monday
Aboard The Haunted Star, Luke and Anna continued to swig and strip, and
lamented that the floating casino wasn't set up for a swing. Anna mentioned she was a spy and she could rectify that dilemma. Robin, Patrick and Tracy arrived shortly afterward, shocked to see Luke feeding an upside down Anna shots from a homemade swing. The drunken duo decided to call it a night. Back at Robin's, Anna admitted that she pulled a muscle swinging and Robin pointed out that she needn't feel older just because she's becoming a grandmother. Anna agreed but couldn't help herself. Anna worried that Robin wasn't aware of how difficult it was to be a single parent. When Patrick returned with food, Anna demanded to know when Patrick was going to marry her daughter. Robin was left speechless.
At Crimson Pointe, Logan caught Claudia eavesdropping on the family debating on whether or not she should be a part of operations — she was a woman, after all. Claudia blatantly flirted with Logan. In the meeting, Ric squeezed Trevor to give up the Alcazar piers. Trevor talked his way out of turning them over — for the good of the family, of course. Anthony just laughed at the Lansing squabbling and Johnny told his father that being guided by revenge was no way to do business. In the hall, Trevor chastised his son for bringing up those piers but Ric refused to give in to his pop. Meanwhile, Anthony warned Johnny that Ric's next move will be trying to turn Claudia against them.
At G.H., Jax was crestfallen to hear about Michael's permanent coma. Carly was hurt that both Jax and Sonny have been looking into long-term care facilities. A frustrated Carly suggested that they just save themselves time and heartache and pull the plug on Michael now. Back at home, Carly had medical equipment sent over. She announced to Jax that she's planning on bringing Michael home to care for him.
In the car, Spinelli got on Jason's nerves when he kept asking to drive.
After Jason had to slam on the brakes, he agreed to let "The Grasshopper" take over. After Spinelli recounted his and Maxie's investigation of Ian, he slammed on the brakes after screaming 'Moose!' While no moose materialized, Maxie fell out of hiding underneath the blanket in the back seat. Jason was not happy. He demanded they pull over and Spinelli search Maxie for the car keys she'd lifted to break into the SUV. Spinelli got even more nervous when Jason forced Maxie to remain behind at the bus stop, and he had to chose his mentor over his Maximista. Alone and fuming at the bus stop, Maxie ran into the bushes when she heard something coming — it was Ian.
At the Crimson office, Kate read Lulu the riot act when a layout went
missing. Just then, Kate got a call from Ian, who was blackmailing her for more money. Claudia showed up at Kate's office and grilled Lulu for info about Logan. Lulu said Logan wasn't her boyfriend, just a friend. Kate was not pleased to see Claudia in her lobby. When she told Lulu she was heading to visit Michael, Claudia accused Kate of being, "Cold and stupid." The women then argued about Sonny and Claudia ordered Kate to leave Michael alone. After the vicious tongue-lashing, Kate sent Lulu home and, once alone, started to cry.
As Spinelli opened up to Jason in the car about his feelings for Maxie,
Maxie was grabbed by Ian at the bus stop, as she tried to send the guys a
text message.... Sonny and Luke commiserated over Michael. Just then,
Claudia barged in and said, “We need to talk about my father.”
Tuesday
A tipsy Anna gave Patrick the third degree for not doing right by marrying her pregnant daughter. Robin was mortified and sent Patrick away for his own good. Alone, Robin then tried to explain her complicated relationship with Patrick to her mother. Robin also stated that she's happy to be pregnant, even though it was an accident. Robin asked Anna to tell Patrick not to marry her but Anna refused. Anna was concerned, as she didn't want Robin to hide from her true feelings. Anna then said she'd talk to Patrick, but got called away on an emergency, leaving Robin crestfallen.
Patrick went to The Haunted Star and shared a few drinks with Luke. Patrick asked Luke for advice on parenthood. Luke copped that he's not the right guy to talk to.
At the bus stop, Ian emerged from the bushes and grabbed Maxie. Luckily, she was able to get a text off to Spinelli. Shortly after, Spinelli and Jason showed up. Ian held a knife to Maxie's throat and Jason ordered Ian to give him the name of whoever hired him to shoot Sonny. Maxie told Jason to shoot Ian but he held off for a name. Maxie managed to break free from Ian's grasp and Jason shot Ian. As Maxie ran to the safety of Spinelli's arms, Jason rushed to hear Ian's dying words. An upset Maxie told the boys she was going to call Mac and vowed not to cover anything up. Mac and the cops showed up. Mac was relieved Maxie was okay. Maxie told Mac that Jason, and Spinelli, saved her life and that Ian confessed to shooting Michael. Mac had Jason taken downtown.
At Metro Court, Jerry planted a big kiss on Alexis. Just then, Diane leaped out from behind the bar and chastised Alexis for being a hypocrite when it comes to smooching bad boys. Alexis went to sit with Jerry and he guessed that Diane was seeing Max, shocking Alexis. Jerry then pointed across the room, where Diane was kissing Max. Alexis walked over and told her friend she was making a scene. Diane barked at Alexis that they were just having a discussion about baseball and she's not one to talk since she's, "Canoodling with Mr. Craig, the Metro Court hostage taker." Alexis slinked back to her table. As Max and Diane talked baseball, he pulled out a room key. Diane replied she liked the way Max thinks. Diane's cell phone rang, but she ignored it and the two headed out of the restaurant. Then, Alexis's phone rang. When she mentioned Ian's name, Jerry gazed at Claudia, who was sitting at the bar. After Alexis left, Jerry told Claudia that Jason killed Ian. Claudia was celebratory, until Jerry pointed out that Ian still could have given them up.
Carly cried to Jax about the bad choice she made in allowing Sonny to be a part of her sons' lives. However, she remained determined to bring Michael home and insisted she'd care for him. At G.H. Bobbie arrived and offered Carly her support, in whatever decision she made. Sonny tried to get Bobbie to talk to Carly about putting Michael in a facility but Bobbie refused and said she trusted they'd work out what was best for the boy. Sonny pointed out that seeing Michael this way at home would be upsetting for Morgan. Then, Jax showed up and voiced support for Sonny, upsetting Carly. When Sonny threatened legal action, Carly retaliated and said she'd tell the judge what a bad father he was. "You both can go to hell because we don't need you," Carly huffed. She then vowed to Michael that she'd take care of him.
Wednesday
As Nikolas sat in the park, Emily showed up one last time. Nik lamented that since he was going into surgery, he'd never see her again. Emily reassured Nik that when his time came, many years from now, she'd be waiting for him.
At PCPD, Alexis told Jason that she knows he shot Devlin to save Maxie: All she wanted to know what what Ian said as he was dying. Jason said nothing, then Diane showed up. Alexis told Jason the if he went out and killed whoever hired Ian, she'd prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
Diane and Alexis got into a heated discussion and Alexis begged Jason to come clean, promising justice without more violence. Jason still stayed mum. Alexis gave up and left. As Jason was about to be released, Spinelli arrived. Mac threatened Spinelli with bodily harm if anything were to ever happen to Maxie.
At G.H., Carly told comatose Michael that she was taking him home today. Jax begged her, "Don't do this." Their argument was cut short when Bobbie arrived to say the ambulance was there to take Michael home. At home, Carly wanted to get Michael settled before Morgan got home. Michael came home and once settled in his room, Carly pleaded with Michael to get well soon. Just then, Morgan arrived home with Mercedes. Carly told Morgan that Michael was home but he's sick and in a deep sleep. Mercedes was fearful that Morgan wouldn't comprehend the seriousness of Michael's situation. Later, Carly was saddened to find Morgan trying to wake Michael up.
At G.H., Elizabeth invited to Robin to join her for a small party in the park to celebrate Jake's first birthday. Liz invited Patrick, too, but he declined.
At Crimson Pointe, Anthony barged in on Claudia and said he couldn't wait to get out of his wheelchair. He then asked her if she put the hit out on Sonny. Claudia denied the accusation. Anthony got upset when he confronted Claudia about sleeping with Sonny. Johnny arrived and diffused the argument. Claudia told Johnny that she hates their father and they need to stay a united front.
In the park, Lulu was setting up for the party and caught Spinelli spying in the bushes. Spinelli wanted to take pictures for Jason but Lulu insisted there can be no connection between Jason and Jake, for the baby's safety.
Spinelli reluctantly agreed. Liz arrived with Cameron and was thrilled with the festive decor. Lulu was not happy when Johnny stumbled upon the party but he agreed to leave quietly.
In the O.R., Patrick thanked Nik for having surgery, as it kept him from attending Jake's party. As Nik went under. Emily appeared and held his hand and told him she loved him. A tear streamed down his face. Patrick was shocked at the size of the tumor and after the surgery, Leyla informed a worried Nadine that if Nik had waited one more week for surgery, he'd be dead. As Nik lay in recovery, he was seen clutching Emily's engagement ring, which she had been wearing when he went under.
Claudia called Jerry to meet. He agreed to meet her in the park. Jerry expressed concern that Ian spilled to Jason before he died that they were his accomplices. He suggested that she may want to run. Jerry went to PCPD to feel out Alexis. She brought I'm into the interrogation room and asked about his relationship to Ian. He denied any close association.
Claudia was unnerved to return home and find Jason waiting in her bedroom.... Patrick dropped by Jake's party and delivered the good news that Nikolas would make a full recovery. Robin was pleased that Patrick showed up.
Thursday
At Crimson Pointe, Jason quizzed Claudia about what she knew about Ian shooting Michael. Claudia insisted that Anthony was behind it but Jason demanded proof, which Claudia couldn't provide.
When Nadine went to check on Nikolas at G.H., he woke up and they were stunned to find Emily's engagement ring in his hand. Nadine called it magic and said it was a good luck piece because Nik's surgery was a success. She told him that if he'd waited one more week, he would have died.
At home, Carly found Morgan trying to wake up Michael. He did not understand his brother's situation. Sonny shed a tear as he told Morgan that his brother wasn't going to wake up. Carly was furious at Sonny for saying that and refused to give up hope. Downstairs, Sonny threatened legal action to get guardianship of Michael, to which Carly replied, "You want to fight dirty, bring it on." An emotional Sonny told Carly she needs to realize that Michael is already gone and then he left.
At the PCPD, Alexis pressed Jerry to spill about his association with Ian but he insisted there was no connection between them. Jerry tried to convince Alexis that he's a changed man but she remained skeptical. He asked for another chance with her. She reluctantly agreed. After Jerry left, Alexis told Mac that Jerry knows something about Ian — and she's determined to uncover what that is.
At Metro Court, Luke asked Tracy to let him come home but she was still angry at his "alcohol acrobatics" with Anna. Luke insisted, "I can't remember the last time I cheated on you. I happen to be in love with my wife." Luke insisted that Tracy need not be jealous. She retaliated that she wasn't — she was tired of nagging him and said she was done. Tracy stood up and walked out.
Jason came by to visit Michael and asked Carly to talk. He got her to think that maybe home wasn't the best place for Michael right now. Jason said that they're both responsible for Michael's dilemma because of their past decisions.
Sonny summoned Diane to speak about getting sole guardianship of Michael. Kate entered and suggested that could be a bad thing. "You can't do that to Carly," she said. "Or to yourself." Diane excused herself to let them talk. Sonny explained the situation with Morgan and Kate replied that he can't take a child from its mother. Sonny was stunned that Kate would take Carly's side, considering their history. Kate told Sonny it's a decision Carly had to make on her own, and in time, she would. Sonny agreed to let Carly keep
Michael at home and thanked Kate for being there for him.
Luke went to visit Nikolas, who informed him that he's expected to make a full recovery. He asked Luke for advice on getting on with his life without the woman he loved. Luke said quite bluntly you deal with the loss and the pain and one day, you're on the other side of the abyss. Nik didn't believe it would be possible to move on but Luke assured him it would happen. He cited his marriage to Tracy as something wonderful and unexpected, and the same thing will happen for Nik. Nikolas thanked Luke for his kind words.
Afterward, Nikolas gave Nadine Emily's ring and asked her to put it in his suitcase. "It's time to put it away," he smiled.
Ric spotted Carly at the Metro Court bar and sat next to her to chat. He wanted to convince her to not leave the family business without a fight. Just then, they both turned their heads to see Jerry enter with Alexis.
Jason sat with Michael and apologized for not protecting him.... As Sonny and Kate kissed, Carly entered and told them she has decided that Michael would be better off at a facility. Sonny looked at Kate and silently nodded in agreement.
Friday
At G.H., Carly apologized to Michael for bringing him home, stating her
intentions were honorable.
Jason summoned Spinelli to the piers, where he confessed that Devlin didn't
name an accomplice before he died. However, Jason wanted to know why Kate
gave him one million dollars. Spinelli informed Jason that, as a favor to
Maxie, he hacked the money from Ian's back account back to Crimson's. Jason
was puzzled by the connection but vowed to get to the truth.
At the Zacchara house, Carly told Johnny that Jason doesn’t suspect their
involvement in Michael’s shooting or else they'd be dead right now. Anthony
wheeled in and interrupted. He reminded his son that Claudia has no place in
running the family business. After she left, the men held a meeting. Trevor
wanted to expand into South America with the help of the Estaban family but
Johnny didn't approve. Johnny lost his temper and stormed out. Anthony
realized he needed to do something about his hot-headed boy.
At Casa de Corinthos, Sonny thanked Kate for all her love and support.
At Couture, Diane browsed through the fashions, in awe of the material and
that fact that Lulu was so disinterested. Just then, Max arrived, surprising
Diane. “Max, are you following me?” she asked. Actually he was there to see
Kate. Kate arrived and granted Diane's request for one of the dresses. Then,
Max asked Kate to intervene with Sonny on his and Diane's behalf. Diane
thought the gesture was sweet but stated that they shouldn't involve Kate in
their business. The pair met up later at Sonny's house. They started to get
busy but Max was hesitant.
At G.H., Sonny stopped in to see Michael and found Epiphany there. He
thanked her for taking such good care of Michael. Epiphany reminded him that
now they've both lost sons thanks to Sonny’s business. Alone with his son,
Sonny broke down and apologized to Michael, "For the life that you didn’t
have and the life that I took from you." Jason arrived and informed Sonny
that Carly went with Jax to check out a care facility for Michael. When
Jason was alone with the boy, he told Michael that he can't get over Sonny
saving Kate over his own son.
As Lulu was getting Kate's coffee, two men grabbed her on the docks, saying
"Mr. Zacchara just wants to talk." The goons brought Lulu to Anthony. Lulu
stressed that she and Johnny were over but Anthony asked Lulu to be a
calming influence on his son, instead. She refused, citing Johnny's death
wish but as she left, Anthony threatened Luke if Lulu didn't help him.
Anthony assured Lulu that he'd have Luke sent to prison for money
laundering. Lulu ended up meeting with Johnny.
Jax flew Carly to New York to check out the care facility for Michael. As
she and Jax met with a doctor, Carly insisted on meeting the entire staff.
The place seemed perfect but Carly snapped that she hated the place. She
then began to tear the room apart and collapsed in tears in Jax's arms.
Claudia met Jerry on the docks and agreed that they cannot be associated
with one another. Jerry told Claudia that she is to be his pawn in his
getting things accomplished with the Zaccharas, or else he’ll go to Jason

How to Teach Soccer Players To Not Bunch Up
The best way to teach players not to bunch up is by playing the Bunching Up, Spread Out To Attack, Create Space Gameon SoccerHelp Premium at Below are other ideas:
A Simple Way to Stop Soccer Players from Bunching UpHi SoccerHelp: Two weeks ago we won 4-0. The team we beat was not that good and my players got pretty sloppy. Once they figured that it was easy to score on that team, my girls started stealing the ball from one another because they all wanted to score goals. I started benching players every time they stole ball from their teammates. I had a long talk with them before the next game. We Chanted the Team Mantra where I ask "When your teammate has the ball what do you do?" And they reply: "Stay Away, Stay Away, Stay" Away" - again and again. I also told the worst offenders that I would only warn them about stealing the ball from their teammates once the during next game and if they did it a second time, they would be benched for the entire game. Well it worked. We beat a pretty good team 2-0. We played a 1-1-1-3 plus a goalie. The field is not that wide and the girls can cover quickly on Defense. The Ball hardly ever got onto our side of the field. When the other team got the ball, they had to get past three girls to get to my Goalie and each girls was tougher than the next. We had one true assist and another goal. It was the best my team ever played. We are now 3-0-2 with only one goal scored against us in five games. Coach Troy, U8 Rec coach, Premium Member ================
The Most Innovative Idea I Have Heard
"When your teammate has the ball what do you do?"
"Stay Away, Stay Away, Stay Away"
Another idea about How to Stop Soccer Players from Bunching Up
Below are two of the many letters I have received asking how to teach soccer players to not bunch up. My response is in blue. Bunching up is a common problem for U6, U8, U10 and U12 soccer coaches. There is more about this on Premium and a soccer practice game that will teach soccer player to not bunch up. Our responses are in blue. Bunching up is a common problem for U-8, U-10 and even U-12 coaches).
Again thanks for all your help.
Will, U-9 boys rec coach
Hi Will,
Congratulations. Try the "2 Team Keep Away" and "Small Sided Scrimmage Without A Goalie" Practice Games. These don't specifically teach it, but they give you chances to teach it and to work on it. In the "Small Sided Scrimmage Without A Goalie Game", your players will quickly learn that if they all go to the ball, the opponent will easily score. Just keep stressing it, praise them when they do it correctly, and keep reminding them when they do it wrong. Use your whistle to stop the Practice Games to remind them. Also, I suggest reminding them when they are on the field during their real "match" games by calling them by name and using a phrase they will understand, like "Billy, spread out". Or "Billy, move away". (Pick one & tell your players that this is what you will say when they are too close and always use the same words). After 3 or 4 games you will see progress. If you are able to teach this in one season, you will have done great. Be persistent, but patient; this is hard to teach.
Dear SoccerHelp,
I'm coaching 8 & 9 year olds. Some are new at the game. How do we teach them to not bunch up around the ball?
Daryl
Dear Daryl,
This is difficult. We suggest trying to teach "First Defender/Second Defender" and some simple rules, such as that "right side players" and left side players do not cross the center of the field, and that you "Defend Deep" and tell your Fullbacks to not go past the edge of the Penalty Box until they are more experienced. Also, teach the "2 Simple Types Of Movement Off The Ball" referenced below.
- On SoccerHelp, in the Dictionary read: Support, Movement Off the ball and Coaching Rules.
- If you subscribe to Premium, read # 7 at "10 Defense Tips" (How To Teach First Defender/Second Defender and a simple Zone Defense), # 3 & # 4 at "Quick Team Improvement" (How To Teach First Defender/Second Defender and How To Teach Shift & Sag), Coaching Rules 3, 5, 8, 16 and 19, "23 Of The Best SoccerHelp Tips & Tactics" # 19 (How To Teach Your Players To Pass To Space) and # 20 (How To Teach Your Players To Create Space By Teaching 2 Simple Types Of Movement Off The Ball), "Formations" and "Attacking Plan".
- Read "How To Teach Soccer Dribbling" and play the "Dribble Across A Square Game" (Premium version) at every practice. By the end of the season, you will see a huge difference and all of your players will have more confidence when they have the ball. (Read the "Testimonials" for what coaches say about this).
- Use the "Passing Pairs Game" to teach the correct form for an inside-of-foot pass so your players will be able to pass the ball (see Skills if you aren't sure). Play games such as "2 Team Keep Away" and ""Dribble Around Cone & Pass Relay Race".
- Also, see "How To Teach Defensive Recovery".
Regarding your formation, I suggest a 2-2-1 (2 FB's, 2 MF's and 1 "Target Forward"). Put your most aggressive player at forward and tell him or her to try to stay in front of the goal as much as possible to watch for rebounds. Read "Formations and Tips For 7v7" and "Letters From Coaches ..." on SoccerHelp Premium for more ideas.

TOKYO (AFP) - Mexico's Pachuca came from behind to sink six-time African champions Al Ahly of Egypt 4-2 in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup in Tokyo on Saturday.
Two free kicks and two dramatic extra-time goals put Pachuca in line for Wednesday's showdown against South American champions Liga de Quito of Ecuador, despite chasing the game for the majority of the match.
The scoring began in unfortunate fashion in the 28th minute when Pachuca defender Fausto Pinto directed a cross from the left by Al Ahly striker Mohamed Aboutrika into his own net.
Aboutrika then linked up with teammate Mohamed Barakat to feed Flavio in the 45th minute to put the Egyptian side up 2-0.
After failing to score in the first half, Pachuca launched a dramatic comeback after the break.
Midfielder Luis Montes, having replaced Jaime Correa for the second half, slammed home a free kick from the right side of the box in the 47th minute.
Pachuca equalized in the 73rd minute after a foul by Al Ahly defender Shady Mohamed resulted in a free kick which striker Christian Gimenez curled into the net, wowing the more than 30,000 spectators gathered at the National Stadium.
Extra time ensued, with Damian Alvarez scoring in the 98th minute before Pachuca striker Bruno Marioni set up the second Gimenez goal to make the game 4-2 12 minutes later.
The win for Pachuca, who dominated possession, helped to make up for their 1-0 loss to Tunisia's Etoile Sahel in their Club World Cup debut | http://www.soccerway.com/news/2008/December/13/pachuca-beat-al-ahly-4-2-in-extra-time/ | 2013-05-18T10:45:12 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Instagram: Will you Adopt or or Avoid Apps bought by Facebook?
Facebook purchased Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock. Some people detest Facebook and worry about using the app because of privacy or other concerns. Others find the acquisition synergistic since Facebook will likely completely integrate Instagram (and they "Like" Facebook).
Is Facebook ’s buying Instagram the cue for you to exit stage left? Fret not. Your newly attuned eye and filtering skills need not be squandered. There are several alternatives to Instagram if you’ve got to shoot and share.

If Sodahead is ever sold to Facebook, Frog is outta here! Facebook can kiss my green butt!
You might want to avoid them because they are stalkers. My computer was down for months. Since they could get no response from me on my main acct, they tried my backup acct. Failing there, they found a secret acct that I had set up--I needed someplace online to call my own. They then published that site all over the internet. Before I forgot my password, I got a glimpse of a LOT of emails. AOL charges $100.00 to retrieve a lost password. FB also replaced my backup account password so should I forget one password, I would be unable to retrieve it.
There's more, but those are a few reasons to avoid it. How I wish I wasn't so curious. I, and 2 others I know, once in FB, couldn't get out. No x to click, nada--you were their captive.

I lived for 4 years right after cancer surgery stuck in bed able to get one meal a week and snacks when I could. The money I needed for medical care was stolen. Lyme disease requires 12 hours sleep a night plus a nap. Without food, you become too weak to get up and start lawsuits. Further, I cannot afford the gas to get to the courthouse. And since 5 doctors and my body say get the hell out of a really bad situation, I need to focus on moving out. NOW. That is my only chance to survive. Then I can think about lawsuits.
5 doctors who never spoke to each other all gave me a year to live if I couldn't get out of here, which is another story and frankly more important than filing lawsuits. Lawyers are not cheap either. And i never said I was too busy to file. On the contrary, I said I had legal issues to tend to. I have to live my life on a few hours a day, and that is because of the hard work that went into getting going again and continues. Malpractice also played a big role. My suffering should give you enough LMAOF to keep you busy for awhile, and how cruel can you get. Had you taken me at my word, I would not have written any of this. And it is only 1/4 of the situation I am up against.
Now you can sleep blissfully knowing you attacked, with no knowledge, someone who is really suffering. That's intelligence (and that is sarcasm). Leave me alone or I will dig up the rest of the story. | http://www.sodahead.com/living/instagram-will-you-adopt-or-or-avoid-apps-bought-by-facebook/question-2593459/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

The Solidarity Center depends on the generosity and support of concerned individuals and organizations. Please make a tax-deductible contribution to the Solidarity Center Education Fund.
February 17, 2011—The Solidarity Center congratulates the Firestone Agricultural Workers Union of Liberia (FAWUL) for being named the 2011 recipient of the Iqbal Masih Award by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The annual award recognizes efforts to reduce the worst forms of child labor. It is named for Iqbal Masih, a Pakistani carpet weaver who escaped child servitude and became an outspoken advocate against child labor and child slavery.
The award was presented February 16 to FAWUL leaders at the U.S. embassy in Monrovia by U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
Since 2007, FAWUL has consistently spoken out against child labor. And it has addressed the core problems driving overextended, desperate workers at the Firestone Natural Rubber Co. (part of Bridgestone Corp.) plantation in Harbel, Liberia, to enlist child labor in the first place.
Most of the workers at the plantation collect raw liquid latex sap from trees in the same way they have done for decades: diagonally cutting trees and setting up equipment to collect the slow-dripping liquid latex sap. The latex from hundreds of trees has to be collected, cup-by-cup, and then walked to a collection point, some well over a mile away.
For years, accusations of child labor on Firestone’s facility stemmed from the high number of trees workers were required to tap to meet a daily quota, along with the time-consuming, back-breaking requirement to then walk the latex in two 75-pound buckets to distant collection stations. Working for only dollars a day, and desperate to meet their quotas, workers often enlisted family members, including their, children to help.
FAWUL’s 2008 contract with Firestone increased wages by 24 percent, reduced tree-tapping quotas by 20 percent and solidified corporate promises to improve educational facilities for workers’ children. In its 2010 collective agreement with the company, FAWUL made more gains on workers’ pay, and this time included an explicit ban on all child labor. Importantly, FAWUL pressed the argument that making workers carry 150 lbs of latex for miles was not just outdated and objectively cruel, it was economically inefficient. In response, Firestone is now testing a system whereby buckets are picked up and transported by vehicles to weigh stations.
Since 2005, the Solidarity Center has teamed with the United Steelworkers (USW) to provide capacity-building assistance, technical training, and research help to FAWUL and the workers at Firestone Liberia. FAWUL was the recipient of the AFL-CIO’s 2007 George Meany-Lane Kirkland Human Rights Award for its efforts to create an independent union at Firestone. | http://www.solidaritycenter.org/content.asp?contentid=1151 | 2013-05-18T10:31:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
MOUNT.
Junior T.J. Lake scored 27 points against the Spartans on 7-11 shooting Tuesday to help push Western Dubuque to a 13-point victory. “We’ve held teams to less than that at times,’ Randall said. “They have a good basketball team. They do a lot of things very, very well.”
Rebounding was one of the deciding factors in the game, he added. Solon lost the battle of the boards, 32-19.
Turner Wentzien led the Solon scoring with 19 points, while Rory Siddell chipped in 13. Solon was 7-9 from the free throw line but only Wentzien and Siddell had attempts.
Randall saw improvement in Friday night’s game at Mount Vernon, but not enough to bring home a win. “We had a nice plan,” he observed. The Spartans held the Mustangs to 15 points in the second half and had the lead down to six points in the fourth quarter. “We had terrific shots but we couldn’t knock ‘em down. I thought in the fourth quarter we had a pretty good chance.”
He credited junior Austin Miller for providing a spark off the bench in the second half. Game statistics weren’t available at deadline.
The Spartans go into the winter break with a game Thursday hosting Mid-Prairie in a girls-boys doubleheader. “Mid-Prairie is kind of inexperienced like us, so it should be an interesting game,” Randall said. “I think we could be pretty good by the end of the season.”

St. Mary’s County Administrator John Savich died Monday evening, succumbing to a lengthy battle with cancer.
Savich, 60, served as St. Mary’s County government’s administrator since March 7, 2007. He was hired as the county’s director of economic and community development in May 2001.
Savich is survived by his wife and two grown children.
“What a great guy, totally committed to the family,” Jack Russell, president of the St. Mary’s County commissioners, said Tuesday. “John was family all the way. We can all carry some fond remembrances of being associated with him.”
“He was the best boss I ever worked with,” said Elaine Kramer, chief financial officer of county government since 2000. “He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever worked with, if not the most intelligent, but practical. John was just a great blend,” she said, as he was able to work with department directors, county commissioners and the general public.
“It was a perfect balance,” she said. “He’ll be missed. He touched many, many people.”
Bob Kelly was hired as county government’s information and technology director right around the same time that Savich first came to St. Mary’s from Washington state. “I don’t think people in the community know how much local government affects the community and how much a good county administrator can affect for the positive. He made a difference in the community,” Kelly said. “And I’m glad I told him that last week when he called me,” just before Savich entered hospice care.
“He was a good man. He fought a heck of a battle,” Thomas A. Mattingly Sr., county commissioner from 1998 to 2010, said of Savich. “He looked like he was coming back, he was doing really well. He’ll be missed. He was well liked in the community. He’s not suffering” now, Mattingly said.
“He willed himself to go fast,” Russell said. He spent time with Savich at hospice on Saturday.
Savich took medical leave last June and made a brief return to the job in the fall. Sue Sabo, director of human resources since 2005, filled in as acting administrator in his stead.
Sabo said Savich was “one of the best bosses I’ve ever had. His realistic perception of the world and his vision kept us all grounded even though at times it felt like a crisis.”
One of the lasting impressions Russell carries from Savich was “his idea of taking care of things while they’re small — don’t let them grow into big things,” Russell said.
“He had a good balanced head. He was able to get people to open up and express their ideas ... without creating controversies,” Mattingly said.
As county administrator, Kelly said of Savich, “He was very good at identifying what could be done and laying out the plan to accomplish it. He was a very good understanding of how county government functions. John will be missed.”
St. Mary’s public schools Superintendent Michael Martirano said he worked closely with Savich in recent years.
“John was a very collaborative leader,” Martirano said Tuesday. “I always felt confident when I knew he representing county government.”
He said Savich was good at managing the natural tension that could occur between groups like the school board and county commissioners.
“He was unflappable and very pragmatic,” Martirano said. “We would disagree, but were never disagreeable.”
The superintendent said that rarely a day would go by that they did not communicate by email, phone call, text or in person. That combination of professional and personal friendship helped make the workings between county government and the school system more efficient, Martirano said.
Martirano said that Savich had developed a real love of St. Mary’s County during his time here.
“These jobs are not jobs. They are a way of life,” he said.
Savich started his career with the U.S. Economic Development Administration in Washington, D.C. In the 1980s, he worked for the state of Michigan as deputy director for community development, director of strategy and forecasting and state tourism director. In Washington state, he was the tourism director and then director of the state’s trade and economic development programs.

The Charles County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting and suicide in Waldorf on Tuesday night.
Police responded to the 3100 block of Heartleaf Lane in Waldorf at 8:20 p.m. Tuesday after sonmeone reported a shooting. When sheriff’s officers arrived, they found a man and woman, both possibly in their 60s, inside a house, police said.
The man was flown to a hospital in critical condition, and the woman was pronounced dead on the scene.
According to sheriff’s spokeswoman Diane Richardson, it appears the woman shot the man and then shot herself.
A motive is not clear at this point, Richardson said.
The investigation is ongoing and names of the victims have not been released at this time. | http://www.somdnews.com/article/20130130/NEWS/130139736/1103/md-court-of-appeals-hears-research-facility-case/Woman-dead-man-injured-in-Waldorf-shooting&template=southernMaryland | 2013-05-18T10:46:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

A call to Charles County Crime Solvers led to the arrest last month of two alleged drug dealers and the seizure from their Waldorf residence of more than two pounds of marijuana worth what police estimate is about $55,000.
Peter Louis Nikolai, 30, and Kristen Rene Stockman, 24, have both been charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking crime.
The bust followed a three-month investigation into alleged drug dealing at their home in the 6200 block of Panther Court, where detectives found packaged marijuana labeled with brand names including “Pineapple Express,” “Bubbadaddy,” “Lemon Haze,” “Strawberry Cough” and “Motherlode.”
Officers from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office arrested Nikolai and Stockman after they were seen leaving their home around 6:10 a.m. Jan. 18. Detectives briefly followed them in their car before marked patrol units pulled them over and detained them.
Investigators then served a search warrant on their home, which is owned by Nikolai’s mother, according to charging papers.
During the raid, police found three safes in Nikolai’s room containing sandwich bags, glass jars and plastic bottles full of marijuana, the papers state. They also found in one of the safes numerous glassine baggies, which are commonly used to package marijuana for street sales.
Officers also found four digital scales around the room and a .38-caliber revolver inside a filing cabinet, court records state.
Investigators also seized $5,000 in cash, drug paraphernalia, another gun and a Dodge Charger, according to the sheriff’s office.
Detectives believe Nikolai and Stockman sold the marijuana from their home and car.
Stockman was released Jan. 19 on $100,000 bail, and Nikolai was released a day later on $250,000 bail, according to court records. | http://www.somdnews.com/article/20130206/NEWS/130209469/1103/housing-authority-earns-high-performer-hud-designation/Waldorf-drug-raid-nets-2-pounds-of-pot&template=southernMaryland | 2013-05-18T10:36:15 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
If Brian Fleury's collegiate career was as successful as it was at Seneca Valley High School, he probably wouldn't be in the position he is now.
At Seneca Valley, playing for his stepfather, Terry Changuris, Fleury was a stud. He was an All-State and first team All-Met quarterback for the Screaming Eagles who passed for 26 touchdowns, a school-record 2,025 yards and four interceptions during his senior year. Seneca Valley won the 4A state championship that year.
In college, Fleury walked on at the University of Maryland and after a season knowing there wasn't a future there, he transferred to Towson University, where he spent four years on the sidelines.
“If my playing career at Towson had been more of a success, I might have been able to walk away from football,” said Fleury, who graduated from Seneca Valley in 1998. “I felt there was more to give back to the sport. Because I didn't have a successful college career, I knew I was done as a player, but I thought this wasn't the way it was supposed to end.
“I couldn't just stop.”
So he went into the family business. During his career as a coach, Fleury has had stops at Maryland, Sacred Heart University and Towson before his current new beginning with the Buffalo Bills as a defensive quality control coach.
Fleury spent his formative years around football and Changuris.
Changuris held coaches' meetings at his house and Fleury soaked it all in. And it was more than plays. He saw the raw hours coaches put in, how they handle personnel decisions and the ways coaches interacted with each other. He was with Changuris during trips for scouting or to coaching clinics. He was around football all the time.
He started high school at Frederick High School. But while watching a Seneca Valley game against Gaithersburg during his first semester, he made it clear he wanted to switch schools.
“I said to him, 'Don't you wish you could be here?'” Changuris recalled. “He just busted out crying, big crocodile tears. He said he didn't want to be [at Frederick]. He wanted to be here. We withdrew him, sent him to Seneca and around 10th grade he had his eyes set on being a starting quarterback and he wanted to be a football coach. He never said it, but he wanted to be a football coach.”
When Fleury took over as the starting quarterback, Changuris said he was more than prepared. Being around all the coaches and his intelligence allowed him to make a seamless transition.
The Screaming Eagles won two county championships with Fleury under center. The tall quarterback thought he could play in college at a Division 1 program. He walked on at Maryland, but his lack of mobility held him back and he made the decision to transfer.
He went to Towson, where he met then-associate head coach Rob Ambrose. Fleury had trouble cracking the lineup and was more of a player-coach.
“At one point, I was in the huddle with the starting quarterback coaching him to play quarterback,” Fleury said. “It was a little conflicting.”
Fleury finished school in September of 2002 and caught on with Ralph Friedgen at Maryland as a graduate assistant from 2003-2004. In 2005, he was hired as Sacred Heart's secondary coach and was quickly moved to defensive coordinator, working under that title from 2006-2008.
In 2009, he returned to his alma mater with Rob Ambrose, who was hired to rebuild a struggling program and wanted a fellow alumnus to help. Fleury was one of Ambrose's first hires and was in charge of the defensive secondary and special teams.
The first two seasons were tough — the Tigers went 3-19 — but found success in the third year by going 9-3 (7-1 Colonial Athletic Association) and winning the CAA championship for the first time in school history, and a trip to the Football Championship Subdivision tournament, also the school's first.
“He's one of those guys who saw the game with bigger eyes,” Ambrose said. “When he was a player and knowing his dad as well as I did, and his dad knowing my dad, I could see the coach in him coming. You try to discourage it — it's not the life for the weak of heart. But all players have it: that virus that never goes away. It takes someone special to use it. He uses it to the Nth degree.”
Fleury was planning on a fifth season at Towson just a few weeks ago. On a Wednesday night, he was flying home from an American Football Coaches Association clinic in Nashville. He turned his phone on after the flight and had a voicemail from Jim O'Neil, a former Towson teammate who was recently hired as a linebackers coach by the Bills. O'Neil wanted to recommend Fleury to be a linebackers assistant.
Fleury drove to New Jersey the next day to meet with Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, the New York Jets' defensive coordinator from 2009-12. After the interview, Fleury was offered the job on the spot and he accepted. That Monday he was in Buffalo, evaluating players by reviewing film from the Bills' previous season.
“I'm excited to be here,” Fleury said. “The funny thing is, people have been really going out of their way to reach out to me and say all the hard work has paid off. The thing is, the hard work is just starting and I don't think people understand that. They think I won the lottery or something. It's an exciting opportunity, but it's just that: an opportunity.
“I have to work harder than I ever have to prove I belong here. I don't see it as an end. I see it as a beginning more than anything else.”

Best Coast blew up in 2010 alongside other lo-fi Pitchfork favorites like Wavves and Dum Dum Girls with infectious summer-punk, surf pop tracks custom fit for blaring out open sunroofs on coastal roads. They were neither particularly clever nor particularly talented – but that was always part of the plan. Singer Bethany Cosentino’s songs surround lost loves and a newly minted 21st century version of riot grrrl punk that embraces the stereotypically feminine behind overdriven guitars and pounding drums. The question with Best Coast has always been how much of their success is pure hype and shtick, dependent on their contemporaries. The Only Place forces an answer to that question by toning down the lo-fi aesthetic and leaving the moody pop songs uncovered at the center.
The album opens with the single of the same name as Cosentino declares her love – once again – for the “best coast”:
We were born with the sun in our teeth and our hair
When we get bored we like to sit around, sit around and stare
At the mountains, at the birds, at the ocean, at the trees
We have fun, we have fun, we have fun when we please
The band will never hide their roots or their halcyon dreams – it’s in their Californian blood. The production value here is more professional than DIY, giving the album a more confident feel as Consentino feels it less necessary to mask her lyrics behind trends. She lets the pop shine through the punk, embracing what’s always been the core of her music.
But that sword shows its reverse edge when The Only Place reaches for emotionalism. Overwrought and too upfront, the band loses complexity and Cosentino’s ruminations on loneliness sound, ironically, closer to petulant posturing than honest confessions. On “No One Like You“:
If I sleep on the floor, will it make you love me more?
If I pack up my things and leave, can I still be the queen to your king?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
All criticism of vapid trendiness aside, these are lyrics that need style to pull off – and style is exactly what Best Coast traded away when they ditched their lo-fi approach.
The Only Place is a bit of a paradox: sonically, the band has become more straightforward, but it actually makes their songs sound less honest. The same problem plagued Jemina Pearl when she left the brilliant teenage punk band Be Your Own Pet - raw emotional indulgence only feels earnest in certain contexts and with a certain delivery. Outside of that, it can be grating. It’s the narrow line there that Elvis Costello walked so well, earning the right to be punk without being punk (and all the more impressive for it).
That said, Best Coast haven’t done anything on this album that they didn’t do on Crazy for You. Most of the negative feedback to their newest work is nothing more than the shame at realizing that a mere two years ago we were all in love with what amounts to teen pop songs. Even if she lost the aesthetic that gave her credibility, I get the feeling Cosentino is well aware that she’s simply admitting to things we’re too embarrassed to admit to without a little coaxing. And on certain songs here – “Better Girl“, “Why I Cry“, and “Do You Love Me Like Your Used To” – she comes damn close to walking Costello’s line again. | http://www.songlyrics.com/news/album-reviews/album-review-best-coast-the-only-place/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Melt chocolate and butter together. Cool. Separate eggs. Beat sugar and egg yolks together thoroughly. Add melted butter and chocolate. Now beat this at highest speed about 10 minutes. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into chocolate mixture. Pour a little over half into ungreased 9 inch springform pan. Bake at 350º for 35 minutes. Cool on rack. This falls fast, but don’t be scared. Remove springform ring. Pour remaining batter into baked portion. Chill for 12 hours. Freezes beautifully.

Hiroki Kuroda (3-1, 2.08) vs. Esmil Rogers, RHP (0-1, 5.63).
COMMENTS: Dre's heroics capped off a dominant 3-game sweep of the Brewers (more on this later), meaning the Dodgers are riding a 6-game winning streak heading into their next series. Woo hoo!
Yes, I realize in-the-box conventional thinking says the Dodgers dropped 2 of 3 to Milwaukee. But if you take a moment to do the math, it's pretty clear it was a sweep. Let me walk you through it:
- Last weekend, the Dodgers took three in a row against the mighty Pirates, outscoring them by 14 runs, 20-6 (let's ignore the first game of that series, as well as my use of the word "mighty").
- One week before that, those same Pirates dropped three in a row to the Brewers, getting outscored by 35 runs, 36-1.
- So clearly, in the Dodgers' just-concluded Brewers series, they should have been outscored by 35 - 14 = 21 runs. But in reality the Dodgers were only outscored by 9 runs.
- Ergo, over the 3 games, the Dodgers effectively outscored the Brewers by 21 - 9 = 12 runs! In other words, the Dodgers outscored the Brewers by a not-even-close 4 runs per game - a 3-game sweep!!
The numbers don't lie, folks.
But as invincible as the Dodgers may seem, I'd suggest heeding PaRappa the Rapper's wise words at 0:36 as we head into this weekend's series:
146 comments:
Dodgers 70% favorites? More like Wildguessuscore.
Where do they get the data elements? Tommy Lasorda?
No, then we'd be 110% favorites.
Hopefully Frank's in-court victory of $600k/month of spousal support will inspire his team to an on-field victory tonight.
What you say? Giving your ex $600k/month in spousal support can't be spun as a victory no matter who you are? Drats...
Ooohhh, I can throw out some stats about Esmil Rogers to partially support the Accuscore 70% mark (which, admittedly, seems a tad high).
In his one start he faced the Giants and threw 92 pitches in 4 innings (21 batters faced). He only induced 2 swing and miss strikes. This against a team that swings and misses on 15% of all pitches. The Giants fouled off 37 pitches over those 4 innings (and looked at 18 called strikes).
In other words, swing away!
What worries me: Rogers is a high velocity guy (averages mid-90s with his fastball) and power pitcher. The Dodgers are hitting a whopping .202 (.656 OPS) against that type of pitcher. Reed Johnson, Belliard and Martin are especially vulnerable (and Garret Anderson has a -47 OPS+, yes negative). Lineup I'd write out:
LF Paul
CF Kemp
RF Ethier
3B Blake
1B Loney
SS Carroll (shudder)
C Ellis (yup)
2B DeWitt (slightly better than Belly)
P Kuroda
Paul
Kemp
Ethier
Loney
Blake
Martin
DeWitt
Carroll
Kuroda
[Via Dodger Thoughts]
I stand by my sit-Martin-this-game idea. At least until he goes 3 for 4 with 2 doubles.
I think Martin needs a break, too
EK, I was a big fan of PaRappa the Rapper but I don't think I ever realized what a predecessor it was for Rock Band, until now. Interesting.
I even have a red knit hat with a frog on it, which I've worn in cold climes (as well as skiing)!
So very close to adult beverage time.
You're late, Mr C!
You're at least 3 hours late, MrC!
Actually, I had a pint at lunch, but I like setting easily achievable goals for myself. It's cheaper than therapy.
New post up on main page, of particular interest to Star Wars geeks, i.e., Josh S.
Yesterday, the Billy Goat Tavern. Today, waiting on a delayed flight at O'Hare. Looks like it's Yahoo for game info again.
Jamie Moyer CGS. Wow.
@Mr. C-
A pint at lunch or for lunch?
Who? Me? I'm strictly a Howard the Duck man.
Just for luck, before i take care of an "accident" in my room:
1) Dear Carlos Gonzalez: don't break my heart, you're one of my favorite players, i'll always root for you, but try to be a "regular player" when you play the Dodgers, this team needs the wins.
2)Steve Sax: would you join me at wearing old Dodgers shirts?.It worked las night!
3)@Josh S i thought you were more of a Labyrinth or Willow kind of guy.
4)what kind of loser is a Star Wars geek?
For the record, I'm wearing the same Nats give-away tee that I had on for last night's victory.
Ely down, Weaver in.
What the fuck. DFA RaOrtiz. Or GA. Or send Green back down.
E walkoff retrospective now on pre-game.
It's a little strange hearing "...We will rock you..." as the background as Vin tries to start us off.
Great start.
And I'm not being sarcastic!
Only 11 pitches for Kuroda in the 1st.
Leadoff walk for X!
Am I in the wrong thread?
Kemp struggling...not playing into the narrative but he seems distracted.
E almost got all of that one. His swing is just freaking GROOVED.
Come on, JLo - get a bday present for yourself.
Didn't take advantage of the leadoff walk and subsequent steal.
We'll get 'em, though.
Dodger killah up.
Let's go Kuroda - dump this Cargo.
Speaking of Dodger killahs, at least Hawpe is out.
AP's Beth Harris reports:
"No #FrankMcCourt in owner's box at #Dodgers; @tommylasoda keeping lonely vigil."
^ I know the feeling!
DB - I'm here but on my phone. Loved Vin's description of the right field scoreboard being in a "spotloght" as deserved by FJL's stats.
One down but man on 3rd.
@Jason
His description was spot on. Now I wish I would have jogged over to the Yard. But my sofa is nice, too, with the patio door open.
Down 1-0 already. Nice Ethier catch but he couldn't nail therunner at the plate.
Great catch by Andre
That bat had eyes...kept Chinface from making the play.
well shit. as good as kuroda looked in the first, he has looked the opposite in the second. bottom of lineup doing the Rox damage.
@DB - When I think of a bat with eyes, I automatically associate it with Carroll.
And way to atone with a double Casey.
Ok, all we need is a productive out here.
That's exactly what I was thinking re Carroll after I said that.
Or, typed that. I don't read my posts aloud to myself.
Gnats lost tonight.
sigh.
Ok, Batface, get Chinface in.
^ Yep
Wide Eyes!
1-1. That's a tie!
Carroll's average is up to .283. From a glance, he doesn't look so terrible anymore
1-1, let's go Hiro
Giants lost, Padres won
Blue screen of death for X. Looked foolish. Shake it off, man!
Come on, Kemp. You gotta be able to hit Mr. Rogers.
So every Saturday that I go to the game (obviously when we are in town), I stand a big chance of having to see Haeger pitch? No cut on Haeger, but is a strange way to spend my summer, watching our 5th starter.
Uh...that'll work, Kemp.
Kemp stole a base! A good throw would have gotten him. *bites nails*
Ok good, he didn't get caught stealing that time.
Hells jeah.
Yessssssss we have the lead!
We're not tied any more! We have a run total that is greater than our opponent's!
Gameday thought that ball 4 was a strike down the middle. huh.
@DB haha, that reminds me of Simple English Wikipedia.
@David
Sometimes the simplest explanation is best.
Most of the time, in fact!
@Dusty - How's it going? PH grand slam in top of 9 makes it 11-4 #10 Hogs over #14 Ole Miss on ESPNU.
Oh, yeah, way to go Ethier.
@Professor
I'm listening to Diamond Hogs on the iHogs iPhone app, actually! They made all broadcasts available for free beginning earlier this week.
X misjudged that ball, but it was always going to be a tough catch.
Now we have the same amount of runs as our opponents have. What a concept!
Was that a 4-pitch walk? I looked away for a second.
Come on Hiro, settle down
@Professor
Hogs win!
cc SSS
@Dusty - woo pig
This isn't looking good
Casey just saved 2 runs
Carlos Gonzalez sac fly with the bases loaded. COL 3, LAD 2
Not that I'm superstitious or anything like that but Matty hasn't hit since he went to the goatee look. I'm just sayin'...
Ethier RBI double scores XP! 3-3 tie
I want to see a Xavier Paul slo mo replay using X-Mo, and appreciate it's Escherian irony.
Chinface cold SMOKED that ball.
Liking the moxie of this team tonight, clawing leads back
Blake RBI! Martin RBI! 5-3 Dodgers!
Nice to see J-Mart go the other way.
No IBB to JMart - we made them pay.
Chinface!!!! Who out there jeeps whining about his being defensive liability?
Rockies tie it on Keystone Kops defense by the Dodgers.
Kuroda? Kinda.
We still have the same amount of runs as our opponent. Fascinating.
Quick stop before round 4.
Nice to see my buddy Jeff back. Go Dogs. He looks tired already.
Is Sherril be demoted to the John Candaleria spot aka left handed specialist?
This just sucks
Looks like another long night......I miss National League Baseball.
Hey, we just took the lead! Where's the optimism? The hope? The lack of despondency?
Epale, y'all,
I'm back from the mall.
Nice to see that we're leading,
I just hope it's not fleeting.
I show up and everyone else leaves?
Fine. 100.
I'm still here.
So I guess the question is if Broxton makes another appearance.
Me too
Good inning for Tron
MSTI with some quality venom on Twitter about the Ely move.
Epale everyone! did i miss much?
Epale, Karina!
Back from the cantina I am.
Ah, Belisle. It's like you if you scrunch "Belinda Carlisle" together.
Hold your breath. Here comes the 9th.
@Karen
Yeah, Tron looked grooved from my perch at El Cholo.
@MLASF
Yes, he will. Call me Nostradamus.
Broxton with a chance to redeem himself.
Okay okay commenting in this thread is easier than getting a drink.
Bubba don't shoot the jukebox tonight please. I don't want to be stuck to my phone till midnight.
I can't wait to make fun of tomorrow's pitcher's name.
I might even start tonight.
Who pitches tomorrow?
No Broxton tomorrow, that's for sure.
Ugh, this cannot be good.
@Paul
Jhoulys Chacin
The old strike-em-out-throw-em-out DP.
Nice Martin!
Suck it Tracy!!!
With a name like that he can't be from this solar system Dusty!
One more strike!!
Giambi's pornstache is gone, alas.
Got him! Sit down you fat fuck! (Giambi not Brox)
We win! Take that, prognosticators!
We Win!!!!!!
But Broxton scared me a little.
DreamWeaver with his 100th career victory. Bong hits all around!
Can't wait for Ethier to yank a HR off of Chacin so I can say "Cha-ching!" (That's almost the way it's pronounced)
Other lame attempts at humor to follow tomorrow.
AccuScore had this one nailed.
This is good for Brox. He needed it.
Nice Job Jeff you made this alum proud. Now where is my drink?!?!
Oh it is right here.
Dodgers 3-0 on fridays at home.
Feliz Viernes!
I chose to turn the game off and watch last night's Community (Flippin' BRILLIANT, btw) after Brox gave up the leadoff single. You can't blame me, can you?
Glad he held on.
I can't, Josh. Last night's Community was the most epic thing I have ever seen on television. EVER. And I watch tons of TV.
Josh- Community is phenomenal, last night's episode was epic.
Oh, and Garret Anderson gets to continue to be employed while Paul goes back down.
EPICALLY AWFUL DECISION.
The Communitygasm continues.
I want to watch this show (I never have) but I have issues with jumping on bandwagons no matter how much sense it makes.
I think I'll just sit on the sidelines and brood like a 6 year old.
Paul is being sent down?!?
Oh, you mean Xavier, not SoSG reader Paul.
Dusty- Go to Hulu and watch last night's Community.
The bandwagon is deserving, the show is awesome in every sense of the word.
I had a whiskey for every lead change.
There will be consequences tomorrow.
@Dusty
I was feeling good about my comments here, felt like I was in a groove a bit, starting to like my place on the team and then to my shock two of our skips Orel, Sax, told me I would be going down. (ba da dum)
So I am back to the Sons of Jamie Hoffman. I will do my best to contribute but I don't really get their serious banter and their commitment to sobreity. It seems so minor league to me.
I hope to join the team again some day but I learned a lot here. Sax taught me about the lessons of Chunk and pissing off Giant fans. Mr. C showed me how to embrace my inner drunk. Josh informed me of this new secret indie movie called Iron Man 2 and Dusty you taught me that an armpit has more meaning than I ever imagined.
I hope to be called up soon to rejoin the team. I hate GA.
Oh and watch Community it is worth the time and any bandwagon annoyance.
@Paul
Skills for life, brother.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present a summation of everything that is wrong with this team.
From Dodgers.com:
."
@Paul
I know you're feeling down now, but we just can't have you riding the pine and not getting in some quality ABs. You'll be back up soon enough. Plus, you still have some options left but Quad7s is out of options.
Remember, it's business not personal.
What. the. fuck. Colletti. My god X man gave us a lot. What is Colletti's newfound focus on mental health and on players' feelings? Who is he, Deanna Troi?
I understand the move a bit more if Manny was Manny of a days of yore. But I think we really left fielder B. Plus he has speed off the bench and needs to get MLB experience if he is going to be the everyday guy next year.
Oh and I think he can bunt as well.
when is Garret Anderson going to get injured? can this be helped along in some way?
watching the highlights from last night, everybody seemed pretty positive and even pumped up. There seemed to be more of a spirit than i've seen so far this season. In particular, Russ throwing out the dude in the 9th and the final K. Did anyone else notice this too, or was that just product of only watching Dodger highlights?
@FB
Russ was visibly pumped when he threw the runner out in the 9th. He made some shoulder shrug kind of gesture kind of like Gladiator asking whether the crowd was not pleased. I liked and noted his spunk. Maybe that will be a spark. | http://www.sonsofstevegarvey.com/2010/05/game-29-thread-may-7-vs-rockies-7p.html?showComment=1273295411783 | 2013-05-18T10:34:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

DALI — or Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries — isn’t a real high-profile brand in the U.S., but it oughta be. Maybe the new Epicon series will help. The $8,000/pair Epicon 2 bookshelf speaker shown here threw the biggest, deepest soundstage I heard at RMAF, and that’s saying a lot. Other models include the $14,000 Epicon 6 tower, the $20,000 Epicon 8 tower, and (YAY!) a center speaker.

Side Slugs
By: James Sandham
SIDE SLUGS
In retrospect, Jim Morrison comes off alternately as an overweight, narcissistic drug addict, or a daydreamer carried away by the romance of his ideas. His side slugs – those overweight sideburns that gradually came to envelop the whole of his lower face – are emblematic of this conflicted legacy. Are they just hairy little receptacles of body oil or are they a throwback to the sensually poetic Romantic era? Only history will tell, my friends. | http://www.soundproofmagazine.com/SoundProof/SoundBytes/Side_Slugs.html | 2013-05-18T10:53:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Washington, June 12 (ANI): An U.S. expert on South Asian issues has said it is now impossible for Pakistan and the U.S. to reach any kind of deal due to their crisis-ridden relationship.
There are always peaks and valleys in any diplomatic relations, but in U.S.-Pak relations it's been almost all valleys for a good period of time now. The question now is, how much lower can the valleys go? said Malou Innocent, a specialist in South Asian issues at the Cato Institute in Washington.
Even with the killing of the two dozen border guards, I think it would have been possible to reach a deal on the border crossings, if it weren't for the broader deterioration, said Innocent.
The over-all crisis in the relationship won out, making it impossible to reach any kind of deal, she added.
The U.S. called off negotiations with Pakistan aimed at reopening supply routes for the war in Afghanistan, further deteriorating their relations, reports the Christian Science Monitor.
State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, said the U.S. has no plans for resuming the talks, and suggested that a return to negotiations was now in Pakistan's hands.
Pakistan closed the NATO supply routes last November, after U.S. forces launched airstrikes against a Pakistani border outpost, killing two dozen border soldiers. Pakistan has been demanding an apology for the same, but U.S. is unwilling to offer one.
More recently, NATO commanders have openly criticized Pakistan for harboring Taliban forces that cross over the border and target U.S. and NATO troops.
Innocent notes that the prospect of completing the Afghanistan drawdown via the northern route will continue to be an incentive for the U.S. to patch things up with Pakistan, for the simple reason that the northern route is at least three times costlier than going through Pakistan.

London, Aug 7(ANI): British tennis star Andy Murray, who won gold medal in the single's event at the London Olympics, believes his success at the Games could help his quest to win the first Grand Slam of his career at the U.S. Open.
Murray admitted his exhaustion after five Olympic matches in three days to win two medals.
But the world No.4 is obliged to play in the Masters 1000 in Toronto starting today and could face a tricky third-round tie with local favourite Milos Raonic.
Come US Open time, I hope this will have given me the confidence to believe in myself a bit more than I have in the past and give myself a shot at winning there, said Murray, runner-up in New York in 2008, The Daily Mirror quoted Murray, as saying., he added.

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurologic disease in horses caused by the protozoan Sarcocystis neurona. Clinical signs include abnormal gaits, incoordination, loss of sensation to face, muscle weakness and wasting. The neurological exam scale ranges from 0 to 5, where 0 represents a clinically normal horse and 5 represents a horse unable to move.
Neurological Exam Grade Scale
(Adapted from Furr M. and Reed Stephen, 2008.)
· Grade 0: No deficits.
· Grade 1: Deficit just detected at a normal gait, but worsened by backing, turning, loin pressure or neck extension.
· Grade 2: Deficit easily detected at normal gait and exaggerated by backing, turning, swaying, loin pressure and neck extension.
· Grade 3: Deficit very prominent on walking, with a tendency to buckle or fall with backing, turning, loin pressure, or neck extension.
· Grade 4: Stumbling, tripping and falling spontaneously.
· Grade 5: Horse recumbent.
Sarcocystis neurona has a complex life cycle that requires two hosts. The intermediate hosts include the raccoon, armadillo, skunk, domestic cat and sea otter. While in the intermediate hosts, S. neurona goes through asexual reproduction within the digestive system. The sarcocysts harbor within the skeletal muscle of the intermediate hosts. Once the intermediate host dies the opossum eats the infected tissue. Sexual reproduction occurs in the digestive system of the definitive host, the opossum. The opossum's infected feces are ingested by the horse. The horse plays the role as the aberrant or dead end host in this cycle however, horses are unable to pass EPM to each other. EPM only occurs in North America because the opossum is only native to this continent. The way S. neurona infects the Central Nervous System (CNS) is unknown. However, there is a hypothesis that recommends S. neurona infects leukocytes which then carries the organism to the CNS. Once the organism infects the CNS, rapid production of S. neurona antibodies occur and lesions within the white and gray matter form. Approximately 50% of horses in the United States are seropositive for S. neurona, while only 1% of these horses develop EPM. Reasons for this may be parasite dose, stress and immunosuppression. There are multiple immunodiagnostic tests to use for diagnosis of EPM.
Some of these tests include western blots, ELISA's and immunofluorescence. There is treatment available for horses with EPM. Treatment is expensive and lengthy. More severe cases of EPM may take longer to treat compared to acute cases. Possible treatment drugs include ponazuril, diclazuril, and sulfadiazine/pyrimethamine combo. However, ponazuril is the most commonly used drug for treatment. Within the future it is imperative to determine the mechanism of how S. neurona enters the CNS, appropriate treatment duration and determine if S. neurona causes immunosuppression in horses. There is a grade scale for veterinarians to use when diagnosing horses with EPM. There are a number of prevention tips horse owners can use. Some of these tips include cleaning waterers regularly, not feeding on the ground and keeping feed container securely closed. | http://www.southbendtribune.com/topic/aan-ff.01-04-13.horseepmdisease-20130104,0,525350.story | 2013-05-18T10:41:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
But how is this accomplished with so many clients? It's easy.
In this article I will address how important gathering simple information can be to your business.
Let's start by visiting a major rule in sales: "The foundation of every customer relationship is dictated by the sales associate."
That is so important that I will repeat it: "The foundation of every customer relationship is dictated by the sales associate."
It's up to you to set the tone and the depth of your relationship. And asking the right questions is the way to create a wonderful connection. Here's how to do it:
In one of my past articles I talked about how important it is to know the basic details of your clients' lives though questioning. Their visit into your store is a perfect opportunity to gather information about their birthday, anniversary, or the graduation date of their children. That information is a potential sale just waiting to occur. I want to make sure you are taking advantage of that knowledge.
Keeping information on all of your clients is one of the most professional practices in sales. The world's most successful sales people know the details of their customers' lives.
This information can be kept on index cards, through computer software, or in notebooks. I suggest keeping it very simple by writing down your clients' information as soon as they leave the store - while it is still fresh in your mind.
Now that you have the information - use it! Write them a note a few weeks before an event in their lives. Send a photo of the latest piece of jewelry you know their spouse would love for their birthday.
Do you do this? You should. It will change your business.
You must take an active roll in your interaction with your clients. Remember that it is up to you to set the tone and depth of your customer relationships. By asking simple questions during your conversations, then jotting down their information you will create more sales and better relationships with your valued customers!

The Government's crisis committee Cobra is due to meet to discuss the disease threatening the UK's native ash trees.
The fungal disease, which causes leaf loss and crown dieback and can lead to ash tree death, has wiped out up to 90% of ash trees in some areas of Denmark and has now been found in Britain.
The disease was first identified in nurseries and recently planted sites including a car park and a college campus, and last month officials confirmed it had been found in the wider countryside in East Anglia., the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) confirmed.
The Cobra meeting to discuss a response to the crisis will be chaired by Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, a Defra spokesman said.
There are concerns that with the fungus now in the wider countryside, possibly arriving as spores are blown over the North Sea, it will be very hard to stop its spread in the UK. Fears remain that the spread of the disease could have a dramatic impact on wildlife and lead to rare species being lost if it takes hold.
After Chalara ash dieback was identified at Norfolk Wildlife Trust's Lower Wood reserve, Ashwellthorpe, an ancient woodland and a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest, the trust's chairman warned of the potential threat to wildlife.
Rene Olivieri, of the wildlife trust, said last week: ." | http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/southport-news/southport-breaking-news/2012/11/02/cobra-meeting-to-discuss-ash-crisis-101022-32151916/ | 2013-05-18T10:31:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The waste site taken by borough authorities in the area.
Earlier, leaders of Copeland borough council voted 6-1 in favour of moving to the next stage in the search for a site to bury radioactive waste.
But members of Cumbria's cabinet disagreed. However: "Cabinet believes there is sufficient doubt around the suitability of West Cumbria's geology to put an end now to the uncertainty and worry this is causing for our communities."." | http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/southport-news/southport-breaking-news/2013/01/30/n-waste-plan-rejected-by-council-101022-32714249/ | 2013-05-18T10:11:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

MTN denies staff killings
CELLPHONE company MTN has dismissed reports that its staff members in Nigeria were killed during attacks on its telecommunications infrastructure.
"No MTN staff were killed. We are at a loss as to the source of this highly erroneous information," spokesman Rich Mkhondo said.
He said damage to telecommunications facilities was confined to certain parts of northern Nigeria, and that only customers in those areas cooperating with the government to flush out its members.
MTN said its customers in Nigeria could experience network failure as a result of the attacks. Nigeria accounts for 25.1% of MTN's 171-million subscribers globally.
Mkhondo said MTN Nigeria had the full cooperation of the country's security and intelligence agencies, and a joint task force in various northern states was providing security for all telecommunications infrastructure.
MrazaneThank God for that.

eNews from Thursday, October 18, 2012
Studies from Iowa State University Update Current Data on Soil ScienceBiotech Week -- October 18, 2012 -- Fresh data on Soil Science are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Ames, Iowa, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Cool-season oilseed crops are potential feedstock for biofuel production, but few studies have compared oilseed-durum (Triticum durum Desf.) rotations on yield, quality, water use, and pests associated with crops. We conducted an experiment under dryland conditions during 2007 to 2010 near Culbertson, MT, comparing crop productivity, water balance, and key weed and arthropod pests of 2-yr oilseed-durum rotations under zero tillage."
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Iowa State University, "Rotations included durum with three Brassicaceae sp., camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst. ex R.E.Fries), and canola-quality Brassica juncea L., and fallow. Over 4 yr, B. juncea had the highest seed and oil yields of crucifer entries. Water use was similar among oilseed crops, averaging 286 mm. Water use was similar for durum following oilseeds, averaging 282 mm, 72 mm less than for durum following fallow. Durum following fallow averaged 775 kg ha(-1) greater grain yield than durum following oilseeds due to higher water availability and use. Camelina had greater weed biomass at harvest and lower densities of Plutella xylostella L. than other oilseeds. Durum in rotation with crambe had higher weed density and biomass at harvest than durum following B. juncea or fallow. Brassica juncea generally performed better than crambe or camelina, but each oilseed crop had several positive attributes."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Oilseed-durum rotations can be used for biofuel feedstock and grain production, but long-term sustainability of 2-yr rotations on crop yields and pest management requires further study."
For more information on this research see: Yield, Pests, and Water Use of Durum and Selected Crucifer Oilseeds in Two-Year Rotations. Agronomy Journal, 2012;104(5):1295-1304. Agronomy Journal can be contacted at: Amer Soc Agronomy, 677 S Segoe Rd, Madison, WI 53711, USA (see also Soil Science).

While the Matrix parody is great fun to watch, it does seem to break down the reality of the show, which is normally grounded in everyday, believable situations. The scene where Daisy imagines beating up Tim and Mike is classic Spaced; the scene where she actually beats up the 'agents' seems like it comes from a different series. Simon and Jess are obviously aware of this - which is why they put in the joke about the day being a bit unbelievable at the end.

Education was a recurring theme at the 27th National Space Symposium, which featured student and teacher events, an education-focused Corporate Partnership dinner and a panel on Education and the Bottom Line - The Corporate Role.
Introduced by Space Foundation Vice President - Education Iain Probert and moderated by Nancy Conrad, chief executive officer and founder of the Conrad Foundation, the panel featured:
Conrad opened by noting that education needs in a knowledge-based economy are critical and immediate, saying "We have so many pieces in place; the challenge is assembling these pieces to meet current challenges."
Mortensen explained Raytheon's "Math Moves You" program that, to date, has engaged more than a million "tweens" student participants and provides scholarships and teacher awards. She discussed Raytheon's the "Sum of All Thrills" exhibit at EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World in Florida and explained that Raytheon is helping develop education policy by using its systems engineering capability to create a model for STEM education process flow. Saying that her company supports strong employee volunteer efforts for education, Mortensen said that Raytheon focuses on tweens and high school students with an objective of tying each level and element together to maintain continuity in STEM education.
Marshall discussed ULA's corporate approach to STEM education, saying that his company funds more than 100 STEM programs nationally and is a national sponsor of President Obama's "Change the Equation" effort. Citing ULA's position that no child should be left behind for lack of educational tools, Marshall said that ULA has donated more than $3 million to STEM education efforts, including more than $600k to non-profit organizations this year.
Staubach said that BAH's corporate programs for education include STEM education programs that match workforce volunteers with contributions to non-profit organizations, including NORAD Tracks Santa, as a pro bono STEM teaser. She said that BAH also values internal education because knowledge requirements are higher than ever and new skills are needed to maintain competitiveness. For example, she said, cyber-related education is not taught in school, but must be taught by companies. "The focus on both internal retraining and external creates both synthesis and tension between internal and external educational missions," she said.
Diesch, who, along with her sister, won the Conrad Foundation's 2010 Spirit of Innovation for their work creating a STEM toolbox to be donated to classrooms across the country. Her experience with this award has inspired a strong interest in promoting STEM education.
During the question and answer session, Mortensen pointed out that measuring the effectiveness of programs is a persistent problem. Conrad added that, while studies over the past few decades have yielded similar themes, corporations and non-profit organizations can simply go forth and do things, effectively mitigating some of the problems associated with measuring efforts. Staubach pointed out that part of the problem with many efforts is the danger of failure to deliver commitment over the long term -- for example, an endowment must have 15-20 times as much money in the bank as awarded in a scholarship, simply to fund the award and maintain the endowment.
Marshall pointed out that education reform efforts suffer a "Winner v. Loser" syndrome, with the schools best positioned to get assistance and new innovative programs often already high-performing. "Help is most needed in places that have difficulty attracting support," he said.
Conrad elaborated on this, pointing out that many groups, especially the government, continue to fund existing, well-known programs, yet keep expecting to get different results from continuing the same work. "Overall, students are best inspired by the ability to make and do concrete things, particularly in an evolving hands-on, non-traditional, application-based, immersive approach."
Addressing issues of teacher qualification, Staubach explained that lack of teacher qualification means that teachers don't understand and can't convey much STEM knowledge. Mortensen added that bringing teachers and engineers together helps teachers understand engineering and improves classroom results. Further, Staubach said, staff interest often helps drive corporate focus and alleviates problems about corporate choices in what efforts to pursue.
Staubach then elaborated on fundamental problems facing education reform:
She said corporations may have a very difficult time doing anything about addressing fundamental, structural issues, along with the problem of capturing students too late in the game, rather than when most valuable in the 3rd and 4th grades.
Finally, in closing, Conrad said that corporations and non-profits have a unique opportunity to address workforce and STEM challenges. "The policy impact is huge and offers the ability to influence employees, grow new employees and create a pipeline to flow people through this process," said Conrad. "There is a great opportunity for hands-on engagement - we do well at innovation and need to leverage this though applications-based, immersive education."

It is often the case that a scent can spark a memory, set a mood, or influence thoughts without even knowing that it's happening. Perfumes, colognes, and body sprays provide individuals the opportunity of determining the feeling that their scent provokes. Fragrances can be fresh, sexy, flirtatious, fruity, relaxing, and more. Having various options to suit your mood will help you feel confident no matter what the occasion. Wearing a fragrance can also help others to remember you.
Whether you are looking for a fresh, daily fragrance that you can wear to work or a luxurious scent for fancy nights on the town, there is a perfume to suit your needs. Products range in size and can fit easily in your bag for on-the-go application. There are fragrances to suit every price range, as well, so everyone can achieve their desired scent.
Fragrances are not just for women. Some scents are suitable for use by both men and women, while others provide a more masculine musk to appeal to the senses. Many men incorporate fragrance into their post-shower and post-workout routines to ensure that they always smell clean and confident.
Scents can appeal to other people and draw them to you. Choosing a fragrance that reflects your personality and style can go a long way. | http://www.spalook.com/fragrance-products.aspx?avnr=Price%7C60%7C99.99%7C%3C%3D++%3C%3D&avn=category%7Ccategory_root%7C2%7CFragrance&as=Newness+(Descending) | 2013-05-18T10:14:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I have been so emotional the past couple days. Especially after work.. when it is just me. No one to take my mind off of things, no work to take my mind off of things.
So many thoughts running through my mind. I am not worried at all about slipping up or quitting anything I have accomplished so far, that's for sure though. I am tough, I can stick this out.
The last few weeks have been mentally and physically trying on me, in ways I never thought possible. In ways I never thought I would ever be able to get through before. But I still keep pushing, still keep staying as positive as I can. I am at the low of lows right now.. and I have never once thought of giving up, it isn't an option. I know this is a test of my strength as a woman, and as a child of God.
And things just keep getting more and more "dire" in my head... well, they WERE. I was at my lowest of lows today.. thinking about how smoking is going to stall my weight loss.. and even maybe undo some of the weight I have already lost.. everything I have worked so hard for the last month. But really.. it just may stall the number.. not what I am doing. It won't stall the fact that I am getting stronger physically.. that my lungs are getting stronger every day now. It won't stall the healthy foods I have been putting into my body. It won't stall my journey to run 5k's. It won't stall me being HEALTHY. Everything I am doing.. and still am doing, is in the pursuit to BE healthy and STAY healthy. And that is not going to change. The weight doesn't matter, that will come off with time. It's just a number. And I HAVE to keep remembering that.
Seriously.. if it wasn't for God, my mom, my best friend, and you guys. I wouldn't know as much as I know now.. I wouldn't have much positive reinforcement.. I wouldn't have had much conviction. I will say it now and keep on saying it.. THANK YOU! :)
On a more upbeat note, tonight I did my normal 30 minutes on the elliptical. Normally I do intervals of about 2 mins normal paced and 1-2 mins fast paced. Today my breathing didn't get too much in the way (it did a few times, but I am controlling it a lot better). And I did at least 3 intervals of 3-4 mins EACH.. the last interval was the 4 minute! I was happy about that.. I am still seeing progress.. the good 'ol NSVs :D This is the perfect time in my life to start really looking for them in everything (not just with bodily changes) and appreciating every single one to the fullest.
The next couple weeks are going to be very busy.. with everything that has been going on in my own life, plus, my dad and step-mom are coming to stay with me for a week on the 23rd. And they don't know about my lifestyle changes. They don't even know about me quitting smoking. It's going to be a big surprise. I may not be at the weight I wanted to be when they got down here, but they will see the changes starting, and that makes me very happy. But I am going to still have to stay very strict about what I do and what I put in my mouth when they are down here. I am planning on still exercising normally (although I may have to start in the mornings instead.. we will see) and eating the same as before, even if we go out to dinner. I am going to have to do my homework before eating out. It is going to be interesting! But another test of my own inner strength.
Me and my dad, 5 years ago (almost to the day). On my moving day from Washington state to Arizona.

You know the saying...what doesn't kill us makes us stronger... I so wish I was there right now to help you by just being company for you in the evenings... what you are accomplishing will probably be one of the hardest things you do in your lifetime. Have you set up your inspiration board yet? That would a fun project for a few evenings. Also how about getting back into your macrame work? Keep me posted and CALL me in the evenings if you need some encouragement! You are doing so well...but you know I'm proud of you no matter what you do. Love you, daughter!

I love eggs in the morning but they are a lot of calories first thing in a day so I separate them and only cook the whites because most of the calories are in the yolk
eggs yolks contain most of the vitamins that come from an egg...so instead of all egg whites add a yolk or 2 and get some of those vitamins!490
Use an egg shell to pick out the piece of stray egg shell
Rarely do I condone sneakiness but sometimes its just necessary! If you have a loved one that needs to keep their cholesterol in check but refuses to use "fake eggs" or egg substitute here's a great way to cut back.. When making scrambled eggs use ONE egg white and ONE whole egg! It looks and tastes just like "regular" scrambled eggs but with HALF the cholesterol!

AUSTIN – Just a reminder to all Denizens (and LCs too, since this’ll be cross-posted in the Empire -
Don’t buy anything today. Big-ticket items, groceries, gas if you can possibly avoid it – anything. Keep your wallets in your pockets and your purses at home.
Instead, buy everything you want/need/gotta have/can’t do without tomorrow, May 1st.
The reason, as you should know by now is that the pendejos who are still here illegally plan on attempting to cripple our country’s economy – as if they think that the 11-12 million of them is somehow a larger number than the 280-290 million of us.
Oh, and if you should happen to notice any businesses closed tomorrow for this illegal alien temper tantrum, make a note of it and resolve not to do business there again. Let us know, too, so that we can show them our economic clout, as well.
Thatisall.

Denizens, I’ll be in Austin the next three days for the Jawja Invasion, playing the role of Spatula of Borg (Resistance is Futile).
We’ll have ‘em sayin’ “fixin’ t’” by the time this is all done
Stand by for live blogging…

Oh, boo-hoo-hoo-fucking-hoo.
The
guest workers undocumented workers illegal aliens invasion force is crying in its Dos Equis about the ICE raids that took place last week. And they’re whining because they think that it’s in retaliation for the Million Pendejo March a couple weeks ago.
Ice cream vendor Floriano Maldonado, 48, believes that the raids are real and that they are directly related to the April 9 march when hundreds of thousands of people marched through Dallas advocating immigrants’ rights.
“We told them, ‘We’re here!’ and now they’re coming after us,” Mr. Maldonado said.
Yeah? So? Whatever the fuck about it? I had family in law enforcement, and lemme tell ya something, cabezas de los boyos – when lawbreakers rub it in an LEO’s face, said LEO tends to get a mite pissed about it. I mean, it’s not like you bastards can say you weren’t expecting us to just bend over and grab the ankles, now can you?

‘S a funny thing about political capital: Y’always think you have more than you do, and y’always spend it faster than you think.
Case in point: George W. “Wussya” Bush. Oh yeah, after the ’04 election, he crowed that he had a ton of the stuff, and that he was going to “spend it”. And then he proceeded to do the drunken sailor act thereupon.
Well, now he’s tapped. Last little bit – with me and a couple of other folks, anyway – came the other day when he flat-out refused to do squat about the
undocumented workers guest workers illegal aliens invasion force that’s infected the country he swore to protect & defend.
Presumably, it happened around 12:25 this morning, though I tend to doubt that.
Whatever, visitor number 50,000 has now happened by this particular site.
Thanks to all who’ve graced me with your presence. Yes, even you fuckheaded libtards. Yes, even that limpwristed plays-with-inflatable-dolls chickenshit, Michael “Mykki” Cortese.
Here’s to the next 50,000.

The Arsenal of Freedom is now complete. (Well, the Handgun Division, anyway. (grin))
A Taurus 817 7-shot .38 special. Special shock-absorbing grip to better handle the recoil. This will replace the Smith & Wesson 638, which I’ve grown to dislike more than just a bit. It very likely becomes the carry piece of choice, as well – though it’s sister, the .357 Magnum, could still overtake it.
And yes – I’ll definitely be one of the more popular bloggers in Austin this weekend.

LC & IB Delftsman reminds us that it’s Holocaust Rememberance Day – also known as “Give the Iranian President a Dirty Swirly Day”, but that’s another post – and we stop down, remember, and mourn our Jewish brethren.
Delfts’ father was nearly a fatality of the Holocaust, and gave Focus on the Family an interview last week on his experiences, which you are cordially invited to go check out.

Sorry, Denizens. Yet another One-Legged Man day was followed immediately by an evening cleaning the Arsenal of Freedom in advance of this weekend’s Blodger invasion.
But, courtesy of the Emperor, I did get a chance to skim over a piece by our good friend and Denizen, the Dread Pundit Bluto, who has come upon this response to the Santa Cruz Chickenshits.
Shove those up your asses, snot-noses. Personally, it’s make my day to send one of those over Iraq with one of you as a hood ornament…
UPDATE: Newly arrived limpwristed skank DocAmazing – what’s so amazing, assclown, the fact that they shaved your pubes and your back and still couldn’t find your dick? – comes up for air from that rimjob he’s giving Mykki Chickenshit long enough to inform us it was Santa Cruz, not Santa Clara.
He then reminded us that his butt-buddy Mykki was still too much of a coward to come get his ass-kicking, so I guess he’s good for something, anyway. (snicker)

Okay, so let me get this straight: Leaks to prove a Bush critic was lying (which, because Bush authorized them, are by their very definition not leaks at all): Bad.
But leaks that do damage to our interrogations of terrorists – and consequently, our efforts in the War on Terror – and, by extension, to the President – well, those are good.
At least, that’s what The Other “MassaChewsShits” Loser is saying:
Sen. John Kerry is defending CIA leaker Mary McCarthy, who was fired by the agency on Friday for revealing classified information about secret CIA interrogations of top al Qaeda suspects.
“If you’re leaking to tell the truth, Americans are going to look at that [and] at least mitigate or think about what are the consequences that you, you know, put on that person,” Kerry told ABC’s “This Week.”
Actually, O Qing of Qetchup and Lavender Hearts, what Americans are going to look at are the Donktards’ double standards when it comes to your pathetic, half-assed accusations.
“Obviously they’re not going to keep their job, but there are other larger issues here,” he insisted.
“Yeah!!! We gotta do everything we can to get that eeeeevil, mean BusHitler OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!”
Kerry prefaced his remarks by noting: “Clearly, leaking is against the law. And nobody should leak. I abhor leaking. I don’t like it.”
“Except when we can use it to make Chimpy look bad!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!”
But the 2008 presidential hopeful complained that sometimes “classification in Washington is a tool that is used to hide the truth from the American people.”
This from the stupid SOB who still – STILL!!! – refuses to sign his Form 180 and release his military records to the public.
Kerry said that he was “glad” the CIA leaker “told the truth,” before adding: “But she’s going to obviously — if she did it, if she did it – suffer the consequences of breaking the law.”
Much like you did when you were conspiring with the Viet Cong while still a member of the US Armed Forces, you tumblefucked titmouse?

Sigh. Looks like ol’ Swimmer Boy’s been drinking again.
Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy says the conventional wisdom that America has turned conservative in recent years is just plain wrong
…but not for the reasons he thinks.
Problem is, O Drunken One, the country hasn’t turned conservative because it already is conservative.
Sure you came up for air immediately after dunking Mary Jo?

As most of you LCs (and the Denizens too, if you’ve ever bothered to read the Rott) have figured out by now, Emperor Misha & I pretty much see eye-to-eye on a lot of stuff.
But there are a few things where we’re not quite on the same page (not that that’s a bad thing). One area is the high gas prices, and the reasons for same.
Drudge reported today about the retirement package given retiring ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond, and Misha was last seen
growling snarling commenting on it here.
(NOTE: The Drudge headline had reported $400 million – no idea why.)
Misha, as is his wont and absolute right, vented about it.
It’s good to know that somebody at least are getting to enjoy the benefits of gouging gas prices because, heaven knows, $170 million isn’t hardly anything when you have to pay for all and sundry and it’s not like he hasn’t put in the years of hard work for it. G-d only knows how many falafels the poor man has had to share with oil ticks over the years.
Thankfully, Exxon won’t be going bankrupt because of this golden parachute, considering how they made about $36 billion last year profiteering off of the fact that we’re at war, so it’s not like they can’t afford it.
Hm. Let’s take a moment and examine.
True, ExxonMobil made $36 billion in profits last year. Quite the haul for the Irving-based oil conglomerate.
Until you see what they made it off of: $360 billion in sales & other operating income (page 4, requires Acrobat reader).
10 cents on the dollar, while good & healthy, is not excessive. I sell a paper for a buck, I keep 10 cents. That’s all Exxon’s doing.
It’s not ExxonMobil that’s determining high oil prices. It’s OPEC
(and to a good extent, Venezuela as well). All ExxonMobil (and ChevronTexaco, and Valero, and BP, and Shell, and Standard, and Citgo, et. al.) are doing is paying the price that’s been set.
(There are other factors, too, such as too few refineries in the United States; Demoscum who won’t let us drill in ANWR, Kalifornication or Teddy the Red-Nosed Senator’s backyard and China’s increased demand for the stuff – but those are other topics for other posts.)
Now maybe Raymond’s retirement package is a little high, whether it be $400 million or some lower figure. There are two groups of folks watching ExxonMobil: their shareholders, and the SEC. If ExxonMobil is doing anything that’s not kosher, I anticipate it’ll get discovered pretty quickly. The days of Enron-style cooking the books are pretty much over, I’d think.
UPDATE: Denizen and LC Humble Devildog informs us that Venezuela is actually a part of OPEC.
S’pose I should’ve known that, but didn’t for whatever reason. | http://www.spatulacitybbs.net/?m=200604 | 2013-05-18T10:53:16 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [
