The Saints will be without rookie RB Mark Ingram for the playoffs. The first-round pick will have season-ending surgery on his toe this week.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported the news and a league source confirmed to PFW correspondent and New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Mike Triplett that Ingram will have season-ending surgery.
Ingram suffered a set back this past week and has not played since Week 13. He had 122 carries for 474 yards this season in 10 games and four starts. He had five rushing touchdowns.
The way we see it
Ingram may have led the team with carries heading into Sunday, but there is plenty of depth at running back to make up for his loss. Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles and Chris Ivory will all share the load.

3-D Printing: Is It The Future Of Custom Bikes?
By Leif Haven
Beattie: I came to the conclusion that it was involved in an incident.
Beattie decided that he could not have seen Landsverk run in front of the bus because "[t]hat entire front end is a blind spot." He said that drivers often discussed among themselves how the blind spots made it impossible to see pedestrians. "We [also] informed the training department that there are blind spots all over."
Alexander: You understand that as a bus driver you are supposed to yield to pedestrians?
Beattie: Yes.
Alexander: Pedestrians have the right of way; is that correct?
Beattie: At some times.
Alexander: What times do pedestrians not have the right of way?
Beattie: Jaywalking ....
Alexander: Are you supposed to yield to a pedestrian if they're jaywalking?
Beattie: You can. It depends on the situation ....
Alexander: Your goal is not to hit a pedestrian even if they're jaywalking; is that correct?
Beattie: Correct.
Alexander then read out loud the instructions from the Muni Operators Training Guidebook requiring bus drivers to make sure pedestrians see the bus and to yield to pedestrians, even when they "make foolish moves." The guidebook notes that buses have blind spots on the right and left sides; to avoid creaming pedestrians in the blind spots, operators are to drive very slowly when turning or moving through a crowded area, and to maintain a four-foot "space cushion" of clearance on the curb side.
Landsverk, who has recovered from her injuries and recently graduated from law school, says she is not angry with Beattie. "But," she says with emotion, "he should have seen me. It could have been prevented."
Muni saw the matter differently, listing the Landsverk accident as "unavoidable," meaning that Beattie was not at fault. But the driver could have been an unsympathetic figure in court, Alexander says, not least because of his apparent lack of concern about the results of his actions. In his deposition nearly a year after the accident, Beattie testified that he did not know whether Landsverk was alive or dead.
"I just say a little prayer that she's okay," he said.
Shortly after Beattie testified, the City Attorney's Office agreed to settle the case for $4 million, a Muni record to this day.
In September 1997, the National Transportation Safety Board severely criticized Muni's driver safety practices and called for a reform of Muni's entire management, maintenance, and operations structure. In 1999, auditors from the California Public Utilities Commission found that Muni did not have adequate safety procedures, and that the safety rules it did have were not being followed. The auditors found that a significant cross-section of train operators generally did not understand the meaning of the flashing lights that regulate train speed. The auditors also reported that Muni's accident rate exceeded the rate for all other transit agencies under its jurisdiction, including Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Diego.
Proposition E, passed by voters in November 1999, restructured the governing board of Muni and called for safety improvements. Mayor Willie Brown increased the agency's budget by $100 million. But the core safety problems remain unresolved. Those problems relate to the quality of Muni drivers hired, the overworking of drivers, and an absurdly lax disciplinary process for drivers involved in accidents.
R.J. Hundenski, the longtime Muni statistician recently laid off from his job, blames about half of Muni-related pedestrian accidents on erratic behavior by jaywalkers and drunks. There are some problems with aging vehicles, incompatible pieces of equipment, inadequate maintenance, and chronically malfunctioning doors on streetcars. Also, the fairly new transit "islands," which require passengers to cross traffic to board buses, are infamous among transit experts nationwide as examples of unsafe engineering.
But one of the main causes of Muni's high accident rate, Hundenski says, is the agency's hiring process, which regularly allows inexperienced, unskilled, and untrainable drivers to join the payroll.
To apply to be a Muni driver, you must be 21 years of age; have no more than two moving violations, and no convictions for major traffic violations, on your driving record; have no convictions for drug or sexual felonies during the last seven years; and have one year of "public contact or customer service experience." Applicants are required to pass a written test and a drug test.
Unlike the transit agencies for Atlanta, Seattle, New York City, and Chicago, Muni does not require driver applicants to have commercial driving licenses. And unlike public transport systems in many major cities -- including Seattle, Atlanta, New York City, and Sacramento -- Muni does not require that job applicants have two or more years of professional driving experience.
Hundenski, who has been involved in driver selection for 20 years, is very critical of the hiring process. "There needs to be better assessment of abilities," he says. "Applicants need to be tested behind the wheel, at least mimicking driving a bus. ... There should be a whole battery of tests and physical observation, not just a written exam."
Einstein, the New York-based transit expert, has testified in more than 100 court cases as a forensic witness, for plaintiffs as well as for defendants. He says he has read hundreds of depositions by bus drivers. As a consequence of a national driver shortage, he says, some agencies may be settling for less qualified people. "It's important to remember," he says, "that a bus is complex to drive. It can be as difficult as piloting an airplane.

In his farewell column in Thursdays News & Observer, longtime outdoors correspondent Bob Simpson apologized for recently using material from another writer without giving credit.
Simpsons Nov. 1 column was similar in many ways to an essay published by humorist Patrick F. McManus. The essay was part of a collection of McManus work published in several books. Simpson and McManus know each other and over the years have written for some of the same outdoors publications.
The structure of the essays was similar, as was the wording in several places. For example, McManus wrote: My research paper, Levitation: A Roommates Response to a Garter Snake in His Bed, caught the fancy of a psychology professor who invited me to join him in research on abnormal behavior in lesser primates.
In his Nov. 1 column, Simpson described research from his college years. He wrote: One excellent example was in submitting a research paper titled, Levitation: a Roommates response to Black Snake in his Bed. This caught the attention of the psychology department, which invited a couple of the more notable students to participate in abnormal behavior in lesser primates....
When a reader pointed out the similarities in the two pieces of writing, we asked Simpson about them. He acknowledged borrowing heavily from the McManus piece without giving credit and apologized.
We agreed mutually that Simpson should stop writing the column. Simpson, 87, is not a member of the staff but has been a correspondent for The N&O since the 1950s. Recent health problems have made it difficult for him to get outdoors. That has limited his ability to write his column.
Simpson was admitted to the hospital recently with pneumonia. He was released and is at his home at the coast.
While its been more fun for me than I can describe, its time to hang it up, Simpson wrote in his farewell column.
Simpson said the Nov. 1 column was the only one in which he borrowed material from another writer and did not give credit. We randomly selected four recent columns and ran them through two computer programs that detect plagiarism. The programs can detect word-for-word copying but are less successful when sentences have been rewritten.
There was no indication that any of the other Simpson columns were copied from another writer.
Simpson has been a spirited observer and graceful writer for The N&O for more than five decades. We wish him well.

In Detail
OpenAM is a web-based open source application that provides authentication, authorization, entitlement and federation services. OpenAM provides core identity services to simplify the implementation of transparent single sign-on (SSO) as a security component in a network infrastructure. It also provides the foundation for integrating diverse web applications that might typically operate against a disparate set of identity repositories and that are hosted on a variety of platforms such as web application servers.
Open Source Identity Management Patterns and Practices Using OpenAM 10.x is a condensed, practical guide on installing OpenAM to protect your web applications. This book will teach you how to integrate to different identity sources such as Active Directory or Facebook using two-factor authentications.
Open Source Identity Management Patterns and Practices Using OpenAM 10.x looks at Identity Management and how to implement it using OpenAM 10.x. It specifically focuses on providing authentication to your web application using either a local identity source or a cloud-based identity source, so you don't have to worry about authentication in your application.
You will learn how to install OpenAM, and then how to install policy agents against your web and application servers to do authentication. In addition, we'll focus on integrating to applications directly using SAML, either through the use of a small preconfigured application, or through a third-party SAML library. Finally, we'll focus on integrating to cloud identity providers using OAuth 2.0 and utilizing two-factor authentication.
If you want a scalable robust identity management infrastructure, Open Source Identity Management Principles and Patterns Using OpenAM 10.x will get you up and running in the least amount of time possible.
This is a Packt Mini in a tutorial format that provides multiple examples on Identity Management using OpenAM 10.x.
Who this book is for
Open Source Identity Management Patterns and Practices Using OpenAM 10.x is great for developers and architects who are new to Identity Management, and who want a brief overview of what's possible and how to quickly implement a prototype.

If your kitchen could use an update but your remodeling budget has regressed, check out these six low cost kitchen remodeling approaches. Just one or two decor tweaks to your existing space can add ease for cooking and entertaining, bump up home value and keep your bank account in the black.
- Build a better island. In kitchens of any scale, a wisely sized and well-organized kitchen island provides additional prep space, storage for serving pieces and equipment, and a comfortable place for kitchen visitors to park. Retrofit an existing island by reorganizing storage, adding a bar-size sink or resizing and resurfacing the top. If you don't have an island, look into adding a clever cart-style cutting surface that can take its place wherever you need it and go mobile as a roving entertainment center.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Being around babies and young children most of their waking hours, the Northeast Doulas - Randy Patterson, Debbie Aglietti and Lauren Schwarzfeld, recognized that even some of the most basic parenting needs were not being met in our community, that is the lack of diapers. They brought to our attention the fact that surprisingly diapers cannot be paid for with food stamps and that many families have to choose between food and diapers. Its not something that most of us think about, but it is a serious problem for moms and babies. They came to the rescue this past weekend when on June 1 they celebrated their 10th anniversary with a 5 and 10 K run and diaper drive at FDR Park in Yorktown. We at Hudson Valley Hospital Center were proud to be the title sponsors of the event. In addition to providing a great day of fun for all, they collected thousands of diapers for the Westchester Coalition for the Hungry and Homeless, who will distribute them as part of a diaper bank they are creating.

Farm Bill Update and Management Research Presented at Crops Field Day July 19
The bottom line, as affected by the federal "farm bill" legislation and farmers' production practices, was the focus at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Southeast Research and Extension Center (SEREC) field day at the Rohwer Research Station July 19.
|Jeffrey Hall, left, associate director of national affairs for the Arkansas Farm Bureau, discusses the farm bill outlook with Southeast Research and Extension Center director Kelly Bryant and Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board member Thad Freeland of Tillar at a field day July 19.
Rohwer Research Station staff members are (from left) Randy Cingolani, David Roberts, Ervin Penny, Roosevelt Dye, Kenneth Gamble, Tanya Hughes, Leonard Swopes, and Larry Earnest. Not pictured: David Bentley, Scott Hayes, and Randy Spurlock.
The mission of the Rohwer Research Station is to help solve problems related to agricultural production in southeast Arkansas. These include weed, insect and disease control and scheduling the proper amounts of irrigation applied to each crop grown in the area. Research has covered the evaluation of early season soybeans and establishing an irrigation program that can be used by farmers in the area. Emphasis has been on the establishment of a rotation or double-crop research program with early maturing soybeans.
The research program at the station is under the supervision of agricultural scientists at Fayetteville, Stuttgart and Monticello. The work is coordinated with the overall research program of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station to assist the agricultural industry of the entire state. Research is conducted on cotton, rice, soybeans and other crops.
The station is 15 miles northeast of McGehee on Arkansas Highway 1 in Desha County.

You have to marvel, walking into Mulberry Italian Ristorante in Lackawanna.
The ceiling is covered with red and white and silver Christmas ornaments!
At first Buzz thought they were ahead of the curve on Valentine's Day, but no, these were Christmas ornaments, so kudos and a big wassail to Mulberry for keeping that holiday cheer coming. It does look as if the colors will carry nicely over into St. Valentine's Day. For St. Patrick's Day and St. Joseph's Day they might have to rethink things.
Which begs the big question ...
How do they go through all the trouble of stringing these things up and taking them down?
Last night at Mulberry, one accomplished young woman who works for an, ahem, rival restaurant was in awe.
"How do they do it?" she wondered.

RF Toolbox
You can use RF Toolbox to model single-ended and differential high-speed transmission lines using rational functions. This type of model is useful in signal integrity engineering, where the goal is the reliable connection of high-speed semiconductor devices using, for example, backplanes and printed circuit boards.
Rational function fitting provides the following advantages over traditional techniques, such as inverse fast Fourier transform:
In the typical signal integrity workflow, you use RF Toolbox after you characterize the backplane with 4-port network parameters and before you begin the design of the high-speed semiconductor I/O circuitry. Specifically, you:

September 26, 2002
DALLAS (SMU) -- Researchers from Southern Methodist University and the University of North Carolina have made an important advance in our understanding of gene regulation. The new insight comes from discovering the biochemical mechanisms by which an important protein works to silence genes.
Their findings are published online today at www.scienceexpress.org and will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Science. Advance publication on scienceexpress.org typically indicates that the editors of Science want to get the information out in the public domain as soon as possible because of its importance.
The protein studied by the researchers is called E(Z). It belongs to a group of proteins known as Polycomb-group that may play an important role in turning other genes off during development. Some researchers believe Polycomb-group genes are involved in causing cancer, particularly some leukemias. This may happen when mutated versions of the genes fail to work properly, causing an overproliferation of blood cells or failing to make cells differentiate properly.
About 15 Polycomb-group genes have been discovered so far. The E(z) gene was discovered by Swedish researchers in 1974. Rick Jones, an associate professor of biological sciences at SMU, has been using genetic and molecular biological approaches to understand the activities of the E(z) gene and the protein it encodes since he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard in 1984.
Liangjun Wang, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biological Sciences, contributed to the research. The research was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
While the SMU researchers studied the E(Z) protein in Drosophila, UNC researchers succeeded in purifying a protein complex that includes a human version of the E(Z) protein. In the chromosomes of all animal and plant cells, DNA is associated with chromosomal proteins as chromatin. An important aspect of gene regulation involves modifying the manner in which individual genes are packaged in chromatin, which may permit or prevent their expression. The SMU and UNC groups demonstrated that E(Z) silences genes by making specific modifications to a particular chromatin protein and that this mechanism is the same in both humans and Drosophila.
"This is a fundamental discovery about how chromatin can repress gene expression," said Larry Ruben, chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at SMU.
Research in SMU's Department of Biological Sciences focuses on four key scientific areas: the control of gene expression, the ability of life to capture energy, the mechanisms of aging and how infectious agents affect cellular behavior.

MANKATO — Colin Scharf knew he was intrigued the first time he heard about "Bandwagon" — he just didn't know it would eventually become the focal point of his band's music video.
"Bandwagon" is a half-hour music program first aired in 1960 that is still produced and broadcast by KEYC-TV in North Mankato. Filmed in the Kato Entertainment Center, the show generally features a polka band and a group of mostly senior dancers careening around the floor in duple time.
Though the show is nothing if not successful — it may, after all, be the longest-running, locally produced music show on the planet — Scharf was struck by the curiosity of it all.
"There's this sweet surface of Americana," said Scharf, who came to Minnesota State University by way of New York about six years ago," "but it's so bizarre.
"It's like looking into a different time period."
And that's precisely the effect Scharf was looking for when he and band members crafted the concept for good night, gold dust's latest music video. (The video debuts today and can be found on YouTube as well as the band's Facebook page, www.facebook/goodnightgolddust.)
The video showcases "Heaven-Sent," a track from the band's 2012 album "Towards the Sun." Essentially, "Heaven-Sent" is a breakup song, a brooding missive of gratitude for having left behind a flagging relationship. Set to a decidedly waltzy tempo, the song assumes a casual, almost flippant quality as if the speaker hardly cares to remember the bygone heartache.
But the video itself contrasts the song's lyrical notions with footage from a pair of "Bandwagon" tapings last fall as well as snippets from 8mm home movies. The result is a dichotomous narrative that deepens the meaning of the music.
"Sure, it's a song about failed love," Schultz said. "But it's also about making room for a love that does work."
The timing of the video also coincides with good night, gold dust's next foray into the music scene beyond the Midwest.
Having long ago formed a relationship with Ian Hilmer, a Mankato songwriter and veteran of the South by Southwest Festival scene, good night, gold dust has been plying their brand of atmospheric, genre-defying folk/rock music for the past two years in the largest music festival in the world held annually in Austin, Texas.
This year, the band is playing a pair of auditioned gigs as part of the Spicy Evolution Music Festival, one of a number of South by Southwest Festival-adjacent events. On the way, they'll be making stops at Ed's No-Name Bar in Winona on Friday — opening for the popular Twin Cities folk-pop group Rogue Valley — and at the Zoo Bar in Lincoln, Neb.
Band members said the Texas trip not only expands its reach and audience, but also re-energizes its creative batteries.
"When we're playing a lot, we only see the other bands we're playing with," said Michelle Roche, a timpanist for the Mankato Symphony Orchestra who doubles on keyboard for good night, gold dust. "It's nice to see other bands."
Though no timetable has been set for release, the band has also begun working on its next studio album.
Scharf and Schultz, who serve as the primary songwriters for the band, said they are moving away from their reliance on the guitar and arranging songs with horns, strings and synthesizers. Having already shown a propensity for moody, atmospheric songwriting, band members said they want to preserve their trademark sound while making their music more expansive.
"In comparison to our earlier material, it's a step away from rhythmic folk," said bassist Eric Blake. "We want to let the music breathe a little more."
Roche added: "We want to leave room for reflection."
In addition to Facebook, those interested can find more information about good night, gold dust at www.goodnightgolddust.bandcamp.com.

Great show review from the Seattle Times:
"Kurt Browning's legion of local admirers can tell you what a great skater he is. But this Browning fan had no idea, before attending the 2012 Stars on Ice extravaganza Saturday night at KeyArena, what a swell choreographer-director he is.
Browning whipped up this year's edition of the annual tour of figure skating and ice-dancing champs into one of the sleekest, smoothest shows in years for the franchise.
Instead of the usual canned jokes and the variable slapstick clowning, Browning has imaginatively mined the strengths of his glittering cast including Olympic favorites Ilia Kulik, Sasha Cohen and Ekaterina Gordeeva, and 2011 U.S. champion Ryan Bradley with fresh, creative routines well-matched to a vibrant score of pop tunes.

FORT GIBSON ¬- It was a game of missed opportunities for the Fort Gibson Tigers, and the Catoosa Indians were happy to take advantage of them as the Indians escape with a 27-26 win at Leo Donahue Tiger Stadium on Friday night.
Even though the Tigers offense churned out nearly 300 yards on the ground it was mistakes that plagued the Tigers all night.
Caleb Wilsey's 6-yard TD run with :59 left proved to be the game-winner for Catoosa (2-1), but it was a drive where FGHS aided the Indians with 30 yards in penalties on what amounted to a 78-yard march.
Daniel Mielnik's 42-yard field goal with six seconds left in the game fell inches short of the target, handing the Tigers (2-1) their first loss.
"We had too many mistakes tonight, just plain and simple," said Tigers coach James Singleton. "But as bad as we played we still have a chance to win the game at the end."
Chase Nevel put the Indians up 7-0 with just 11:45 gone in the opening quarter when he returned the opening kickoff 95 yards to paydirt. The Tigers countered with the quarterback counter as J.R. Singleton faked a handoff to Michael Richey, then sprinted 42 yards untouched making it 7-7 with 3:40 left in the first stanza.
Singleton again struck gold when he found a streaking Jordan London for a 64 yard touchdown pass, but a blocked extra point would be a thorn in the Tigers paw, even though the home team led 13-7 entering the half.
The Tigers began the third quarter by promptly putting together a drive, spurned by Ritchey's 45 yard run to the Indians 15, and looked to be in the driver's seat once again. But a holding call negated a 15-yard touchdown run by Chris Walker, then a fumbled pitch moved the Tigers backwards and into a turnover on downs.
"We have to clean up our mental mistakes," said coach Singleton. "We take a touchdown off the board and then don't get any points after we are inside their 15." "We have to get this corrected."
On the Tigers' next possession, an intercepted pass gave Catoosa prime real estate at midfield.
A Fort Gibson defensive unit that held the Indians in check the first half, allowing only three first downs and 43 yards rushing, seemed to be the Tigers backbone until Devin Hemphill entered the game for the Indians. Hemphill's first touch in the second half proved a huge one, as he split the FGHS defense for a 30-yard touchdown run with 6:17 in the third period to put the Indians back on top 14-13.
Singleton capped a 14-play drive that ate six minutes off the clock with a 1-yard TD run, putting FGHS up 20-14 with :16 left in the third. But Catoosa wouldn't die. Following another missed opportunity when the Tigers turned the ball over on downs at their 47, Hemphill struck again, this time a 83-yard burst and reclaim the lead 21-20 with 6:42 left in the fourth.
Back came the Tigers on a 10-play, 74-yard march that received a huge assist when Mielnik's blocked field goal attempt was scooped up by Zach Drain, who carried it to the Indian 3. Singleton's second TD carry from a yard out came with 5:03 to go.
This time, the decision was made to go for two on the conversion. Singleton appeared to cross the goal line but after a discussion, officials ruled him inches short.
Catoosa then answered, with a few assists from the Tigers defensive unit.
"You just can't do those things and expect to win," said coach Singleton. "We did some good things but we made to many mistakes tonight. We will get the ship righted and get things fixed for district play."
Hemphill finished with 150 yards rushing on just 10 carries. Richey led the Tigers with 127 yards on 16 touches. Singleton added 100 yards on 13 carries.

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

This is not a booking photo. It's a photo for his induction in the Merchant Marine. There are similar shots floating around for Paul Newman and John Coltrane for when they enlisted in the Navy. I'm 99.99% certain of this, as I did copious research on the Newman shot.

Wild Chronicles
A weekly magazine show produced by National Geographic and hosted by Boyd Matson. The stories, which focus on the work of researchers and explorers in the field, cover natural history, science, conservation and environmental issues, adventure and culture. Each episode features the Crittercam, a research tool attached to animals that records video, audio and environmental data, providing an up-close look at animals' worlds from their perspective.

* News from Nature - In the early 20th century fur seals were pushed to the brink of extinction by hunters seeking the seal's luxurious pelt. Despite a longstanding ban on hunting, fur seal populations are still vulnerable and many colonies are in decline. Armed with Nat Geo's Crittercam, scientists travel to Russia's remote Kuril Islands to uncover the secrets to fur seal survival.
* Stories from the Wild - WC travels on assignment with National Geographic magazine to Alberta, Canada, where a controversial method of extracting petroleum is damaging the Canadian wilderness and a way of life. To reach large deposits of sand-oil that lie beneath the surface of Alberta's Boreal forest miners must strip the forest floor. Some conservationists contend the changing landscape and destruction of the Boreal is a substantive contributor to global warming.
* Field Reports - A group of prize-winning students from Atlanta venture deep into the Amazon rain forest to learn the true cost of consumer goods. Exploring the impact of deforestation and development on one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems on the planet, the trip's goal is to instill in the students a passion to protect Earth's great natural resources.
* Adventure and Exploration - In the Gulf Emirate of Abu Dhabi, increasing development is destroying the local food supply of the marine mammals that call the warm waters home. Thousands of dugongs ply the waters off the coast of Abu Dhabi, feeding on seemingly endless beds of sea grass. But as engineers drive back the sea to house the burgeoning population, dredging and construction leach silt into the Gulf, smothering the sea grass and threatening the dugongs.

* News from Nature - In the 1960s, the takhi horse disappeared from its native Mongolia and was declared extinct in the wild. Determined to repopulate takhi in the Mongolian wild, conservationists hope an ambitious captive breeding program can save the species. So far reintroducing the horse has been a success, but the takhi, considered the only true wild horse left in the world, still faces many challenges to its comeback.
* Stories from the Wild - Saved from overfishing by an act of Congress, striped bass now face the threat of a disease rarely seen in the wild: mycobacterium. Researchers believe the combined stress of pollution in the Chesapeake Bay, rising water temperatures due to climate change, shrinking habitats and poor nutrition are the cause of the diseased bass. Conservationists hope a multi-pronged approach encompassing the entire Chesapeake ecosystem will create a healthier environment not only for striped bass, but for all the Bay's inhabitants.
* Field Reports - Today's Sahara is a blistering expanse of desert that is one of the most hostile places on Earth. But occasionally over the course of time, periodic changes in the Earth's orbit and wobble have transformed the Sahara from sandy brown to lush green. Nat Geo Explorer-in-Residence Paul Sereno examines a green Sahara site known as Gobero that supported two distinct civilizations thousands of years apart.
* Adventure and Exploration - Zambia's Luangwa River Valley is rich with wildlife, but it hasn't always been that way. Just a few decades ago illegal hunting threatened the area's wildlife. But thanks to an innovative program called COMACO (Community Markets for Conservation), conservationists are transforming poachers into farmers. Now, communities enjoy a food surplus, and poaching is on the decline.

The Norman Transcript
MORGANTOWN, W.V. — Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops called his unit's performance a "fiasco" after Saturday night's 50-49 victory over West Virginia. OU defensive end David King said it was "embarrassing."
The 778 yards the Sooners gave up totaled nearly 160 more than OU had ever given up in a game — win or lose. The most yards they had ever allowed prior to Saturday was 616 in last season's loss to Baylor.
Surprised? The curveball West Virginia threw at the Sooners was using Tavon Austin at running back instead of wide receiver. OU continued to treat him as a wide receiver, matching him up with a defensive back.
"I wouldn't say surprised," King said. "He's a playmaker and you are going to put the ball in your playmaker's hands. Whatever they were doing … the simple-zone play was working and they were gashing us for 20-30 yards. If I was a coach, I wouldn't stop it."
That's what was so stunning about Austin's 345 rushing yards; he only had 21 carries.
It all came down to third down: The difference in the game came down to the performance on third down. OU was 9-for-15 converting them; West Virginia finished the night 8-for-14.
"They did a great job of winning," offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. "… Guys winning and working their leverage and snapping off and creating space and making room for Landry to make a throw. They did a really good job on first and second down. Great job making yards after the catch too and a couple of guys took some shots in the middle of the football field and came back and kept playing competitively."
No favorites: Landry Jones set a career high with 554 passing yards and six touchdowns, but he wouldn't call it his best game ever.
"This one definitely ranks up with one of the best, for sure. I don't know," he said. "There's not much else to say. It was just one of the funnest games I've ever played."
Stills matches TD record: OU wide receiver Kenny Stills' four touchdown catches tied the program record. It was the most by a wide receiver. Tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Trent Smith are the other two former Sooners to catch four touchdown passes in a game.
Forget about it: The Sooners enjoyed the plane ride home late Saturday night. But they vowed to forget about the West Virginia game quickly. They have Bedlam coming up in six days.
"This was a great win for us," said OU receiver Jalen Saunders, who had seven catches for 123 yards. "Like I said, we just have to come out and do better this next week against Oklahoma State.

About the Julie Rogers "Gift of Life" Program:
The Julie Rogers "Gift of Life" Program is a non-profit 501(c)(3) located in Beaumont a serving all of Southeast Texas. It was established in 1994 by local philanthropist Regina Rogers as a tribute to her mother, Julie, a breast cancer survivor, who had a double mastectomy in 1988 and who died following complications from a stroke and heart attack in 1998. Since its founding, the organization has funded nearly 23,000 free mammograms and more than 6,000 free prostate cancer screenings, and has conducted more than 700 educational outreach encounters since its inception, reaching 110,000 people. www.giftoflifebmt.org
About Tough Enough to Wear Pink:
Tough Enough to Wear Pink was created by entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor Terry Wheatley in 2004 with Karl Stressman, former director of special events for Wrangler and now commissioner of the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PCRA) to bring the sport of professional rodeo and the western community together to rally against breast cancer. Wrangler is the title sponsor of Tough Enough To Wear Pink. Since its inception in 2004, TETWP has empowered rodeos and western events in the U.S. and Canada to focus attention on the need for a cure. To date, the campaign has raised over $12 million dollars for breast cancer charities, much of which stays right in the community. The grassroots movement has inspired other sports communities to mount their own TETWP campaigns, spreading a message of hope and support that reaches beyond the rodeo arena to competitors, families and fans across America. www.toughenoughtowearpink.com

Bounty hunter disguise used by Princess Leia
Boushh was once an Ubese bounty hunter that was killed as a result of it's greed for the payment it tried bargaining for on a bounty. However since the hunter's death was something done in secret, Princess Leia was able to take it's helmet and uniform and assumed it's idenity for a short while to help her infiltrate the criminal underworld. It was while under this disguise that Princess Leia pretended to have captured Chewbacca and taken him as a prisoner to Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine so that she could rescue Han Solo.
Unfortunately, for Leia, she and Han were both captured by Jabba's guards before they could escape the fortress.

text: This is my first post, so forgive me if I forget something. Peanut, a 25 lb. senior Boykin/Springer spaniel mix, needs a ride from Save the Strays Animal Rescue (located in Bethune, South Carolina, zip 29009) to his approved adopter in Pittston, PA. (Adopter's zip is 18641; she is near the Wilkes-Barre, PA airport and she or her dad can pick him up there). Both rescue and adopter are flexible about day of flight - can be a week day or weekend; just need a few days' notice to coordinate at both ends. We would like to get him home within the next week or two, if possible. Peanut is very sweet but very scared of strangers, so we want to keep him crated during transport; hence, would prefer to fly him. Rescue is willing to travel several hours to departure point. We are about 1 hour from either Columbia or Florence, SC; about 1.5 hours from Charlotte, NC; a little over two hours from Mooresville, NC.. We are a 501c3 organization, if that helps. Please email Sandra at email@example.com if you can fly Peanut to his forever home. Thank you!

Cultivating Compassion
An interview with Tibetan scholar Jeffrey Hopkins and an excerpt from his new book.
An Excerpt from:
Cultivating Compassion:
A Buddhist Perspective
by Jeffrey Hopkins
Broadway Books: New York, 2001
176 pp.; $19.95 (cloth)
Shantideva, the eighth-century Indian master ... says, "Though beings want happiness, they rush to suffering." Our rush to suffering comes from deciding that we don't need to think about the fact that others want happiness and don't want suffering-that it's all right to look on others as things to be used in the process of gaining happiness. Usually, what we're trying to win is more happiness through money, friendship, fame, material goods, social status, and power, but the way we do it often undermines our chances for achievement in the short term. Furthermore, those attitudes double back on us later—we start complaining about others' having the very same attitudes toward us we had earlier toward them. We also gravely err when we mistake those things that were initially seen as means to happiness as happiness itself—more money in the bank becomes the goal.
Are we really this brutal? Sometimes greed is even a conscious credo. More often it is not raised to that level but is still our basic orientation, and if we dig deep enough, we find that it is our basic idea. It certainly is the way we act, and in this Buddhist system the way we act doesn't just come from instinct, but from fundamental ideas, such as "I'm first," which itself is built on the shaky foundation of failing to realize that others want happiness and don't want suffering. Ideas, not raw instinct, are at the basis of most behavior.
Joy is the wish that sentient beings retain whatever happiness they have, that they have happiness and liberation and never lose it. In meditation, imagine people retaining their happiness, their wealth, their good looks, and so forth. Think of someone who is rich, and take delight in her or his having so much wealth. Or, apply the meditation to other situations—to people who have compassion, people who have various abilities—wishing that they retain these treasures.
We often get caught up in competitiveness with others. Even if it's not our creed that we want others to fall behind or that we have to step over people, that is—in effect—what is happening. We're competing, and we want to win. In graduate school when I was learning Sanskrit, most in our class took it as a game, since the grammar is complicated, like chess. We would nudge each other: "Ah! You missed that," and carry on like that. We had a good relationship, and if someone else got the answer, we were quite pleased, but there was one student named Johnson who got ninety-nine or one hundred on a few tests, and the rest of us would wither in his presence. We began to feel, "May Johnson not do well! May he not figure this out!" We would think, "Poor old Johnson," unconsciously imagining that he would be sitting there stupidly; in our imagination the professor would ask, "What is the accusative dual of such and such?" and Johnson wouldn't know. This is what we were mixing our minds with; we were mixing our minds with stupidity ... Eventually, I realized this and made an effort to take joy in Johnson's fortune of doing particularly well. When he was asked a question in class, I consciously wished that he would know the answer immediately-in my imagination Johnson would out-Johnson Johnson. Wow, he was quick! After the final exam, I asked the professor how I had done and how Johnson had done. I was shocked to learn that I had done better than Johnson and immediately expressed genuine sympathy for him, but my previous karma had been so bad that the professor looked me in the eye and said, "Don't try to fool me." ▼

Canadians are just around the corner.
ice-dance.com has opened a really impressive site for the upcoming national championship. Included is an extensive profile on Paul/Islam (and every other team in novice, junior or senior). The profile states that Alexandra did in fact have surgery after her accident at NHK.
I'm so hoping to see them looking more like themselves next week.
All appendages crossed.
I came across these on youtube today, and I thought I would share. I had honestly forgotten these existed at all. The links are for P/I's CD and OD from the 2010 Junior Nationals (as far as I can tell...they may have been from Canadian Challenge). Enjoy!
It's a bit dark , but we may as well have the whole P&I 2010 collection.. Jr.World's FD
Be well , guys !
Here's another version of their FD from the 09/10 season. It's from one of their JGP's.
Also, CBC Sports has put up a preview video for nationals next week. PJ Kwong talks about ice dance near the end of it. She said that she spoke to Mitchell, and that he told her that he and Alexandra are 100% healthy! That should set them up well for next weekend! 5 more days!!
Anyone happen to know if/when the senior dance practices will be broadcast on SkateBuzz??
I just hope it's not a case of , first they give you a treat ,then they snatch it away... In the absence of any real information , I'm just planning to go there at the scheduled practice times, and cross my fingers...
I think we might be out of luck. I believe there was a senior dance practice this afternoon, and Skatebuzz didn't show any of it. I guess we'll just have to wait until Friday to see P/I and the others.
They may only be showing main arena practices (i.e. no cameras in operation at the practice rink).
Sorry to go off topic, but I just finished watching jr dance and I was really impressed and happy for Poulin/Servant, who won after finishing 5th in 2010 and 4th last year (I've been a fan of theirs since the beginning). Did anyone happen to catch it?
There's a discussion in the Canadian Nationals sub-forum in Kiss and Cry.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
I checked out skatebuzz..and today they were showing practices from the main arena. I'm on the pacific coast but I will definitely get up for the dance practice ( SD ) 7 am Pt, 11am AT.
LOVED the new choreography. A lot. They looked SOO much better than they have during the seaon. Shame about the placement, though. It seemed that it was the technical levels that got them in the end. Still within striking distance of R/H, but they've got some work to do.
I love the fact that they no longer look like V/M clones, but are developing their own style.
Maybe they never really were clones, but they certainly looked like it to me in the past. With this short dance I can start to appreciate them for their own selves, as the very good ice dancers that they are.

The Daily Item
— The NCAA decision to void all Penn State victories back to 1998 eliminated 111 Penn State victories, dropping iconic coach Joe Paterno from the all-time winningest football coach to 12th on the list.
With the wins voided, Paterno's official career win total is 298. Bobby Bowden with 377 wins becomes the all-time winningnest Division I.
The NCAA has slammed Penn State with an unprecedented series of penalties, including a $60 million fine and the loss of all coach Joe Paterno's victories from 1998-2011, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Other sanctions include a four-year ban on bowl games, and the loss of 20 scholarships per year over four years.
NCAA President Mark Emmert announced the staggering sanctions Monday at a news conference in Indianapolis. Though the NCAA stopped short of imposing the "death penalty" — shutting down the Nittany Lions' program completely — the punishment is still crippling for a team that is trying to start over with a new coach and a new outlook.

Discussion in 'The 1911 Forum' started by JLA, May 25, 2012.
Got er done this afternoon.. What ya think?
Very nice, Josh!! That'l work.............Thanks. Anxious to get it back and try it out........
Ill have it in the mail tomorrow morning on my way to the bank.
I appreciate the quick turn around...Pictures with Woodnuts grips when I get it together.
Damned PO is worse than the Banks. PO in my neck o the woods is taking the entire memorial day weekend off. Ill get it sent tuesday John.
Bank was open tho. Good thing i went there first, because if i had gone to the PO first i would have assumed the banks were closed too and went back home angry.
JLA, what type of sights are those and did they fit in the original cuts on that Citadel? How much would you charge for this work? I am interested. PM me
Nice work Josh! You can do some fine magic tricks.
Nice job
I just dont like it when a reputable company that sells these sights for a living tells a prospective customer that they dont make sights that will fit a Citadel.. That to me is just as bad as telling them. "sorry, were not interested in your business.. The money isnt easy enough"
Especially when a nobody small town Gunsmith took these Govt Novak cut sights and pushed them onto a Citadel slide with about 20 minutes worth of file work, a hand built sight pusher and a 3/4" wrench, and some G96 to finish the Job and make it look clean and seamless.
John, I figure a small red and white USPS box should be in your mailbox today or tomorrow. Let me know when it gets there so I can take the PO off my hit list..
That looks good dude. Its funny that the kensight adjustable rears for novak, fit a novak cut but the Novak brand adjustable rear wont w/o cutting a small relief in the front to fit were the hinge pin sits. One would think the developer of their own sight cut might want their own sights to fit.
My thinkin too. When Kensight designed the full adjustable Novak they designed it so the hinge was within the shape of the Novak fixed sight. So no extra mods when upgrading. I like the sight so much im thinkin of ordering a couple spares for stock.
Josh, the box is at the PO and I can't get it until Monday. Darn.......I should have had Joanne check the box earlier today since she was off and coming to town........
Cool. Looking forward to the final product and the range report.
Got it today....Looks great, Josh.
PM the details. Here's some poor photos...
Trijicon night sights installed by JLA and Woodnut's grips with Ivory inlay.
Now that looks good John.
ok Josh i'm lost what did u do make the site?
nada. I just fit them to the slide. The Citadels, just like all the rest of the Armscor pistols including american classic and RIA, have an odd size dovetail system, but they are very very close to standard Novak dovetails. Johns dovetails measured .315X65* up front and .490X65* rear. Std Novaks are .330X65* and .495X65* so i had some 'extra sight' to work with on both ends which allowed me to give them a very tight fit so theyll never 'walk' loose under recoil forces.
John opted for a fully adjustable rear replacement, which was a $125 rear sight made by Kensight. The front is a .175" high replacement, which is .010 lower than the original so John can have all of his 'UP' adjustment with his rear sight, not that hed be needing to adjust it to shoot 100 yds but.. you never know..
such a talented guy you are-nice work:dance::dance::bow::bow:

A bill before Parliament in Uganda would prohibit women from wearing miniskirts in public. The government's ethics minister, Simon Lokodo, has taken the lead in defending it. "Anything above the knee is outlawed," he said. "If a woman wears a miniskirt, we will arrest her."
If the bill were to become law, Uganda would hardly be the first country to institute harsh restrictions on women's dress in public. Saudi Arabia, for instance, famously expects women to be shrouded head to toe in public. So does Iran. In each of these cases, proponents of the restrictions say that part of their goal is to prevent women from provoking men into sexual assaults. But isn't it obvious that if a country wants to prevent sexual assault, it should figure out how to stop the criminals rather than impose constraints on potential victims?

UNADILLA — In a cost-cutting measure, the Unadilla village board has decided to eliminate the village justice position unless residents petition to put the issue to a vote in March elections.
The board voted last week to abolish the position at the end of the current term on the grounds that there are not enough court cases to warrant a separate justice since the village no longer has a police force, said Mayor Robert Conley Sr.
The measure would save the village the justice's $2,000 annual salary.
"I really don't know very much about it," said village and town justice Donald Laraway. Village officials have not spoken to him directly on the matter, he said. But if that is what the residents want, Laraway said he would go along with it.
Laraway has been town justice for 18 years and took over as village justice when the former justice retired several years ago. As town justice he will still have jurisdiction over the village and will be handling many of the village cases.
"The work that I was doing as village justice, I'll be doing as town justice," said Laraway. "As far as I'm concerned, there'll be no less work because I'm not village justice." However, Laraway will be taking a pay-cut by losing the second position.
Laraway said there are fewer village cases because the state police do not cover the village 24 hours as the village police did before being eliminated about eight years ago.
There are also fewer traffic cases because more cars take I-88 which does not pass through the village.

HARTWICK — The children of Hartwick will have a new recreation area, a playground in the center of the village on South Street.
Oneonta Oil and Fuel Company, Inc., of 7 Dietz St., Oneonta, made the Town of Hartwick an outright gift of its property on South Street, the site of the Harry Perry Garage premises there.
Oneonta Oil and Fuel owned the property since February 1945 and has been leasing the premises to Harry Perry. The property had been used as a gas station for the sale of the products of Oneonta Fuel and Oil Company, Inc., since that time. The deed was forwarded to Chester J. Winslow Jr., Attorney for the Town of Hartwick, and was received over the weekend.
The Hartwick Town Board at a previous meeting had approved a resolution to accept the gift and to raze the building and grade the grounds.
Town Supervisor William Powers said that the Board is very appreciative of the gift and hopes to eventually clean up the site, plant some shrubs and otherwise prepare it for recreational use.

Jetta Noises
suetay Posts: 1
ppoppert Posts: 1My 2003 Jetta TDI makes noises when it is traveling on uneven roads such as streets with dips or pot holes. Thought it was suspension related, maybe shocks or struts, but that is not the case. Both my mechanic and body shop technician recognize that there is a problem, but don't know a solution. Is worse in warmer weather. It appears to need lubrication but I don't know where to lubricate.
This problem with my 2006 VW Jetta has occurred once again and always after refueling. The first time this happened, the fuel guage showed in the red and the refuel light had just turned on. As I drive into the gas station, I hear a loud thudding in the back of the car like somebody was in the trunk. After stopping beside a pump and turning off the engine there is a loud pop. I refuel with regular unleaded and refill completely as I always do. As I restart, the engine "turns" but doesn't "catch" so that the engine remains turning. So I call a friend and he recommends I pump the gas pedal as the engine is 'turning'. It worked. He also said the thudding was probably my fuel pump. He also suggested I use a fuel additive. First can anybody explain the problem with the thudding and popping? Is it really the fuel pump and how long is a fuel pump supposed to last? And is using a fuel additive on every fill up safe for the car. 3 weeks has passed since then and after that time, I did not have the problem again until today. Again, after I refilled completely, I had to once again pump the pedal as the engine is turning. However, today there was no popping or thudding, and it has been 2 fillups since I used a fuel additive. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY THE CAR IS DOING THIS? Is it the fuel pump? Is it clogged fuel injectors? Is it the starter coils, which they did just replace due to a recall?
see my last append about the squeel....
Regarding the "misfire" code - OF COURSE it will keep coming back if you just reset the code and not fix the problem. What do you expect??
A good way to isolate/fix a "misfire" code is to replace sparkplugs. Remove and clean the spark-plug wires and igniion coil.
Worst case, you may need to REPLACE the spark-plug wires ... However, since the spark-plug wires for that engine cost over $100, it is worthwile to first try cleaning them and applying silicone grease to the boots.
Very rarely, the ignition-coil itself may have a crack in it and cause misfires. When you remove it for cleaning, you can scrutinize it for cracks. If it is cracked, some people have reported having luck sealing the crack with RTV silicone.
I was not aware that there is such an indicator on the Jetta.... What year is it?
If you have misplaced your manual, they are available online.
With that said... I know there is a diagnostic test that runs which tries to pump a slight pressure in the air in the gastank. If it cannot build pressure, it is assumed that the gascap is not sealed properly. Most cars will simply lite up the CEL when this test fails.
You're right! it's not one of the indicators that light up when the car does it's startup test. My car is a 2006 Jetta and the light is next to the center bolt (for lack of a better word) that holds the needle on the RPM dial. Anyway I always hear this stretching noise at startup andsometimes this kind of pumping noise while I drive after coming from a cold start.
parner Posts: 1my daughter has a 2001 v20 turbo jetta that when idleing makes a strange gurgling noise in the air-intake. It was fitted with a K&N intake before we bought it. I replace some of the air lines that come from the top end of the engine. when i got the broken pieces out of the fitting noticed a pasty, oilly, and watery. Tried to blow all of the water out with compressor, but air-intake sounds like it is sucking water through a straw with a hole in it.
any help would be greatly appreciated
I am not so sure that VW offered a 2.0L turbocharged engine in 2001. I believe it was a 1.8L turbo. (Actually an Audi engine)
The gurgling you hear may be oil sitting in the base of the intercooler. The oil usually gets there from leaking oil-seal on the turbocharger. A small amount of oil in the intercooler is normal.
VWs have a "Cold-Air-Intake" from the factory and adding something else is just a waste of money. The factory air-filter is MORE than adequate for the engine. Especially a turbocharged engine where the air is FORCED into the engine.
K&N intake filters on a VW are bad news. The oil from the filter is KNOWN to contaminate the MAF (Mass AirFlow) sensor. You have been warned.
(Youngsters add CAI to turbocharged engine so they can hear the whine of the compressor.)

YWG -- The Sabres are airborne, having left the prairie behind on their way to Buffalo. (Alas, I have more than two hours remaining in the Winnipeg airport, followed by a two-hour layover in Chicago. Oh well.) It seemed like a quality road trip for the Sabres, who went 3-1.
The loss, though, hit them hard in the standings. The 3-1 defeat Monday in Winnipeg was one of those "four-point games" coaches point to as critical.
"If anybody would've said before you leave you win three out of four you'd be pretty happy," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "We just lost to the wrong team."
While it's true Buffalo wouldn't have been in position to climb into eighth had they not won the first three games, they could have lost one of those and been in better position. Consider:
If Buffalo had lost to Vancouver, it would have been four points behind the Jets entering their matchup. A win by the Sabres over Winnipeg puts them two points back with a game at hand. As it is now, this version of a 3-1 road trip left them four points back with a game at hand.
"This one stings, but overall I thought it was a good trip," left wing Thomas Vanek said. "We carried some momentum going home. This time of the year, you win one, you put it behind you. You lose one, you put it behind you. That's the mentality as a team right now."
The Sabres will take today off, but they have to pack again Wednesday. They'll host Carolina on Wednesday night, then depart immediately for Thursday's game in Boston and Saturday's outing in Ottawa.
"We're not going to be home much," captain Jason Pominville said, "but the game that we are home we've got to make sure we play well and win a game."

Ada —
Pontotoc Technology Center is currently recruiting high school students for the 2013-2014 school year and a meet-and-greet is slated next Monday to assist students.
In January, over 500 sophomores toured the Pontotoc Technology Center campus to see what career majors are offered, officials said.
The following career majors are available to high school students: heavy equipment operator, health science, cosmetology, information technology, and automotive service technology.
During the sophomore tours students experienced hands-on shadowing opportunities. The students were asked to choose the career major of their choice. They spent two hours in the career major performing hands-on activities. Once they shadowed the career majors, they were asked to fill out a short survey regarding their shadowing experience. When they turned in their completed survey, they were given a parting gift. The purpose of the shadowing experience is to help the students determine if they would like to attend PTC their junior year.
High school students can attend PTC for three hours a day their junior and senior years. This enables high school students to either begin their career path early or to earn certifications that will allow them to seek better employment opportunities while they are in college. PTC offers a career tech scholarship for students who are interested in attending PTC after graduation.
Most students who attend the shadowing experience respond with a positive remark, officials said.
For students who will be a junior or senior in high school and attend Ada, Allen, Byng, Latta, Roff, Sasakwa, Stonewall, Tupelo, or Vanoss in August 2013 or if they are interested in becoming a student at PTC, a meet-and-greet night is slated Monday, Feb. 25, from 4-7p.m. Students may take a tour of the school and meet the friendly staff at PTC. For more information, call Jayma Newport at 580-310-2253 or email@example.com.
