SAN FRANCISCO -- Donte Whitner, always the locker-room philosopher, had enough thoughts about Sunday's game to fill up Buffalo News columnist Bucky Gleason's notebook in the San Francisco 49ers' locker room.
San Francisco throttled Buffalo, 45-3, Sunday in Candlestick Park. It was Whitner's first game against the team that drafted him in the first round six years ago.
Whitner experienced a lot of losing before switching to the Niners as a free agent last year. He knows what it felt like to walk off the field lumped up in a Bills uniform.
"I feel for the players over there because I don't think it's the players," Whitner told Gleason. "I think that it's management. They're chasing something that's not there. Guys like George Wilson and Jairus Byrd, guys that give you 100 percent on every play, they don't get rewarded for things they do on the football field.
"They're constantly bringing new guys in, and that's who they give all the money to. It starts with management. I don't think it has anything to do with the players. The players are going to work hard and do everything that the coaches put them in positions to do.
"I feel for those guys. Hopefully, it will get better. Hopefully, something changes."
Whitner wouldn't say the Bills quit in the second half Sunday but suggested the Bills are a demoralized group with more heartache on the way.
"I was there for five years," Whitner said. "I know what goes on in that locker room. Definitely, the players want to win. They have good coaches over there, too. I'm glad I'm over here."
Whitner was bothered by Bills coach Chan Gailey's references to players not being mentally tough after last week's 52-28 loss to the New England Patriots.
"I feel for those guys," Whitner said. "There needs to be a change somewhere along the line. The players are going to out there, and it's a hard-working bunch. ... I know they want to get it done and have the passion to get it done.
"Only for so long can you hear, 'We have to build the killer instinct' or 'We're not mentally tough.' That should never leave the meeting room. You're questioning your own team's mental toughness in the media? That's not right."
Whitner finished with three tackles -- the Bills' pass offense didn't test him much -- and had saw jawing sessions with some of his former teammates, most notably running back C.J. Spiller.
"I'm not going to say they rolled over," Whitner said. "I can say we played like a team on a mission, and we beat a team that was in our way.
"I don't know if they quit or not. I really don't care if they quit. All I know is that we were on our 'A' game."

Alumni game in need of players
- Last Updated on 07:49 AM 07/01/13
- BY Joe Chandler
Former Halifax County High School football players looking to relive memories of their high school football career now have that opportunity.
Fifty former Halifax County High School football players are being sought to participate in the first-ever Halifax County high School Alumni Football Game to be played Saturday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. at Tuck Dillard Memorial Stadium.
Halifax County High School Head Football Coach Mike Roark, who is organizing the game, says 50 players will be needed in order to stage the game.
Alumni Football USA is helping put on the game and will provide all equipment for players. The cost is $100 per player, and players may sign up by registering online at www.alumnifootballusa.com or by calling 866 u get hit.
"The equipment that will be provided will be good equipment," Roark pointed out. "This company has good equipment. They keep it up to date, have it reconditioned when needed and make sure it is in good shape."
Roark said the alumni football game is being staged as a fund-raiser for the Halifax County High School football program. Tickets for the game will be $10 each, and fans wishing to take advantage of VIP Parking can do so for $10.
Halifax County High School will receive a percentage of the gate receipts, Roark said. Fans will have an opportunity to purchase tickets in advance and fans are encouraged to purchase advance-sale tickets.
Roark said he'd like to have 30 to 35 players signed up by the second week of July so that preparations for the game can continue on schedule. Players on the two teams will practice for a week prior to playing the game.
The two competing teams will be formed on the basis of the players' graduation year. Players who graduated from Halifax County High School in even-numbered years will comprise one team, with players that graduated from the school in odd-numbered years composing the other team.

|West Side Newspaper, May 11, 1889
|West Side News, 11 May 1889. Subject File: Printing & Publishing Business --West Side News, 1889. Wilbur and Orville Wright Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress.
|Printing was one of Orville's hobbies as a youngster and the first publication that he and his friend, Ed Sines, produced was a brief newspaper for their eighth-grade schoolmates. By the time that he was sixteen, Orville had worked summers in a print shop, learned the printing business from the ground up, and designed and built his own press. On March 1, 1889, Orville began publishing The West Side News, a weekly paper intended for the residents of West Dayton. By April of that year, Wilbur was involved in the printing business and was soon listed on the newspaper masthead as editor; Orville was listed as printer and publisher. The News lasted until April 1890, succeeded by a much more ambitious Wright- produced newspaper, The Evening Item. Although a very good local paper, the Item faced stiff competition and lasted only until August 1890.

|[Wilbur Wright working in the bicycle shop]. [1897]. Glass negatives from the Papers of Wilbur and Orville Wright, Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. LC-W851-81
|By 1892, the Wrights were earnestly in search of a new and exciting business venture. By then, the new "safety" bicycle had become a national craze, and millions of sturdy two-wheelers were being produced to satisfy this new American craving for speed, freedom, and convenience. Since both brothers were considered not only excellent bicyclists but also the best bicycle mechanics in West Dayton, this new business opportunity became suddenly obvious to them. In 1897 when this photo of Wilbur working at the lathe was taken, the brothers had expanded their bicycle business beyond sales and repair to the design and manufacture of their own line of hand-built, made-to-order bicycles. The Wrights remained in the bicycle business until 1907 and it was successful enough to provide them with the income that they needed to cover all of their aeronautical work.

Primitive elevators were in use as early as the 3rd century BC, operated by human, animal, or water wheel power. In 1743, a counter-weighted, man-powered, personal elevator was built for King Luis XV connecting his apartment in Versailles with that of his mistress, Madame de Chateauroux, whose quarters were one floor above King Luis.
19th Century ElevatorsFrom about the middle of the 19th century, elevators were powered, often steam-operated, and were used for conveying materials in factories, mines, and warehouses.
In 1823, two architects Burton and Hormer built an "ascending room" as they called it, this crude elevator was used to lift paying tourists to a platform for a panorama view of London. In 1835, architects Frost and Stutt built the "Teagle", a belt-driven, counter-weighted, and steam-driven lift was developed in England.
Hydraulic CraneIn 1846, Sir William Armstrong introduced the hydraulic crane, and in the early 1870s, hydraulic machines began to replace the steam-powered elevator. The hydraulic elevator is supported by a heavy piston, moving in a cylinder, and operated by the water (or oil) pressure produced by pumps.
Elisha OtisIn 1853, American inventor Elisha Otis demonstrated a freight elevator equipped with a safety device to prevent falling in case a supporting cable should break. This increased public confidence in such devices. In 1853, Elisha Otis established a company for manufacturing elevators and patented (1861) a steam elevator. While, Elisha Graves Otis did not actually invent the first elevator, he did invent the brake used in modern elevators, and his brakes made skyscrapers a practical reality.
In 1857, Elisha Otis and the Otis Elevator Company began manufacturing passenger elevators. A steam-powered passenger elevator was installed by the Otis Brothers in a five-story department store owned by E.W Haughtwhat & Company of Manhattan. It was the first public elevator.
Electric ElevatorsElectric elevators came into to use toward the end of the 19th century. The first one was built by the German inventor Werner von Siemens in 1880.
Black inventor, Alexander Miles patented an electric elevator (U.S. pat#371,207) on October 11, 1887.

Nick started the Hands Off Our Hospital campaign in 2004 in response to the then Labour Government's plans to downgrade Chase Farm Hospital. Nick opposed the BEH Clinical Strategy which recommended replacing 24-hour A&E with an Urgent Care Centre and consultant-led maternity with a midwife-led unit.
On becoming an MP Nick continued to campaign against changes at Chase Farm. In March 2011 he led a cross-party delegation to meet Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, the result of which saw Enfield Council given the opportunity to produce a plan to rival the BEH Clinical Strategy and save services at Chase Farm.
The Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) ruled that the council's plan "does not provide any credible alternative to the current proposals" and therefore backed the BEH Clinical Strategy. Health Secretary Andrew Lansley endorsed their decision, leading Nick to criticise both the IRP and the Health Secretary, saying "I'm disappointed by the IRP's decision. Frankly I think it's the wrong decision. Chase Farm Hospital should have a 24-hour A&E unit, end of story. I also think the Secretary of State is wrong to endorse the IRP's decision".
In September 2013 the Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group gave the go-ahead for the BEH Strategy, and with it the downgrading of Chase Farm - despite not all of the IRP's pre-conditions being met. Nick said it was the wrong decision and gave his support to Enfield Council challenging the decision in court by a judicial review.
This challenge was rejected by the High Court on 12 November 2013 and the downgrade of A&E and maternity services will now go ahead.
Nick still maintains that Chase Farm should have a 24-hour A&E unit and consultant-led maternity services.

About the time predictions started to surface in Washington that Democrats might lose control of one or both houses of Congress, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell began to research what happened to presidents who presided over a loss of Congress in their first midterm election.
It's occurred three times in the past 100 years, and in each case the minority party that took control watched the supposedly vanquished president win reelection just two years later. First, Harry Truman in 1948 (after losing 55 House and 13 Senate seats in 1946); second, Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 (after losing 18 House and two Senate seats in 1954, creating Democratic majorities that would last in the Senate until 1980 and in the House until 1994); and finally, Bill Clinton in 1996 (after losing 54 House and eight Senate seats in 1994).
McConnell spent some of the summer and all of the fall ruminating on what congressional Republicans must learn if they wish to avoid the fate of those temporarily victorious majorities. Two principal lessons emerged, he said: Manage expectations, and pursue an agenda that any future GOP nominee can embrace in 2012. The only problem is that both goals require consensus, and it's hardly clear that he'll have it in his chamber. With the infusion of tea party blood, it's anybody's guess whether the Republican Conference can be the careful, unified party that McConnell hopes for.
"Our single biggest political goal is to give our nominee for president the maximum opportunity to be successful," McConnell told National Journal in his first extensive interview about his aspirations for the Senate Republicans of the 112th Congress. "We need to work smarter than we did [in 1995], and not become the foil off which [President Obama] pivots."
McConnell believes that the task will be easier if Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, becomes speaker. The two lawmakers talk almost daily, and their staffs know and trust one another. That tight working relationship is the polar opposite of the personal disdain that Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole and House Speaker Newt Gingrich held for each another and inspired among their closest lieutenants. Many Republicans of that era complain that Dole's presidential ambitions and his campaign complicated the party's legislative maneuvering on issues such as taxes and spending, balanced budgets, and welfare. No such worries now.
McConnell and Boehner are creatures of Congress who are not driven by any desire to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
McConnell frets, however, about controlling expectations among tea party activists likely to want—and quite possibly demand—that bigger GOP numbers in Congress produce big things: a swift repeal of the health care reform law; a massive U-turn on federal spending; and immediate action to reduce the national debt. Tea party darling and likely freshman mover-and-shaker Marco Rubio of Florida, for instance, summed up the movement's ax-wielding gusto in July: "Every day we postpone acting decisively to rein in wasteful spending and cut the debt, we pile even more on the backs of millions of young Americans."
These are things that McConnell knows will be difficult to achieve in a divided government, particularly if Democrats maintain a narrow Senate majority. (Senior Senate GOP aides now privately joke that after two years of using the 60-vote filibuster threshold to stall the Obama agenda, their goals must now bow to the number 67—the votes needed to override an Obama veto.) "One of the things we will have to remind newcomers and those who have supported them is that even though we will have a larger Republican Conference, we do not control the government and cannot control the government when the president holds the veto pen," McConnell said. "We need to have a humble, grateful response about this election," he added, unexpectedly echoing comments Obama made to National Journal in an interview this week. McConnell had one other observation for his most-impatient colleagues: "Incidentally, there is no polling data that suggests [the voters] love us."
Grounding expectations in that reality is something that McConnell says will require a good measure of "preaching and teaching." McConnell's No. 2 in the GOP leadership, Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, agrees.
"Let's assume, as I do, Republicans take the House," Kyl said. "I assume House Republicans will be able to pass whatever they want. But when it comes over to the Senate, a lot of this will grind to a halt. You can't blame Republicans for not passing legislation. We are going to have to manage that."
So, even if House Republicans live up to the "Pledge to America" they released in September and cut domestic discretionary spending next year to 2008 levels, those cuts have no chance of passing the Senate. Attempts to undo the health care law will be limited, at best, to defunding the regulatory apparatus behind the law—and those efforts will still be vulnerable to a presidential veto. Agreements on tax cuts and any entitlement reforms must be bipartisan, giving Obama some credit and bowing in some cases to his ideology—a surefire tea party trip wire.
To tea party activists, this may all sound like exactly the kind of Washington minimalism that drove them to rebel in the first place, and to find their voice in the anti-elite campaigns of Sharron Angle in Nevada, Ken Buck in Colorado, Linda McMahon in Connecticut, Joe Miller in Alaska, Rand Paul in Kentucky, and John Raese in West Virginia. Some or all of these candidates will arrive in Washington as senators, and it's to imagine that they will allow their anti-establishment impulses to be tamed.
But McConnell and Kyl foresee no difficulties keeping the larger GOP contingent together. "This is the kind of problem you'd like to have," Kyl said. "I don't buy the notion we are going to be all that fractured." For his part, McConnell says he'll be happy to be rid of the days of a 41-seat minority where there is no margin for error in blocking legislation and "where every man is a king and every woman is a queen."
In one sign of conditional unity, Sen. Jim DeMint, the South Carolina Republican who backed many tea party candidates in open defiance of McConnell and other GOP leaders, says he isn't spoiling for a leadership fight. But note the qualification. "I have no intention of challenging the leadership," DeMint told National Journal. "What I have done over the last year has ruffled a lot of feathers in our conference. The chance of me getting the votes is not realistic at this point." But DeMint says that Senate Republicans must change the way they approach spending and do it soon, or tea party activists will lose faith and rebel even more.
"We have to understand, this is not so much a Republican victory.… I see it more as a realignment of American politics," DeMint said. "We're going to have more Republicans, and the composition is going to be more of a limited-government idea. The biggest challenge we have is to change the idea that senators are here to do what is best for their states, to get all they can for their states and the interests operating in their states."
And this is where DeMint is spoiling for a confrontation. He wants Republicans to cut spending no matter what effect those reductions have on their home-state constituents. He says this would be a "definitional" culture shift among Republicans, and he considers the pledge made by all the Senate GOP candidates—including relative moderates such as Mark Kirk of Illinois and Carly Fiorina of California—to adopt the no-earmarks policy the beginning of that change. DeMint sees earmarks as a symptom of a deeper problem: the structural bias for more discretionary spending and the clout that comes with it.
To reverse that trend, DeMint wants to upend generations of bipartisan logrolling. What's his ask? That GOP leaders permanently exclude themselves from the Appropriations Committee, which allocates non-entitlement spending. If that rule had been in place during this Congress, three GOP leaders would have been kicked off Appropriations—McConnell, Tennessee's Lamar Alexander, and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski. "If we are going to cut spending, we have to take the power away from those responsible for spending," DeMint says. "We have to say no to a power base that can be corrupting over time, not in the sense of anything criminal, but in the sense that your focus is spending and not cutting."
McConnell was icily noncommittal about DeMint's idea: "We will debate any rule changes brought before the conference." Kyl is downright opposed. "That suggests there's something wrong with [the current system]," he said. DeMint's point is that there is, in fact, something wrong with the current system. Thus, Senate Republicans may find themselves divided over their own rules even before they begin to grapple with Obama over spending, tax rates, or entitlements.
When McConnell started reviewing the history of Congresses that won big against unpopular presidents but saw those gains slip away, he didn't find any notations about keeping grateful constituents from their federal largesse. But times are changing, and McConnell may find that as he tries to learn from the past, his most impassioned new colleagues instead want to renounce and transcend it.

very happy with the water bottle, but maybe make a slightly better quality plastic/design version. understand the cost may increase though.
I liked the overcap and the size of the bottle. The bottle is a bit hard to squeeze, but I realize it probably makes for a more durable bottle.
The water bottle/stress ball combo is great--the kids on my team LOVE them!

You've probably heard of Stonehenge--that mysterious collection of megaliths (big rocks) over in the old England. But did you know that America has its own Stonehenge here in New England?
If you want to see a prehistoric archaeological enigma, all you need to do is head about 40 miles north of Boston to Salem, New Hampshire, where you can explore 30 acres of cave-like dwellings, astronomically aligned rock formations, a sacrificial stone, and other mysterious structures left behind by an unknown people.
America's Stonehenge opened to the public in 1958 under the name Mystery Hill Caves. Renamed America's Stonehenge in 1982, the site continues to intrigue visitors and to puzzle archeologists and other researchers. I've visited the southern New Hampshire attraction twice, and each time I was mesmerized by the strange series of stone structures and compelled to develop my own theories of how they came to be.
Were the astronomically aligned megaliths positioned by migrant Europeans, maybe the descendants of the original builders of Stonehenge, who arrived in America long before Columbus? Were the secret passages and chambers constructed by Native Americans? Is this truly one of the oldest megalithic sites in North America, as radio-carbon dating would suggest?
Come along with me on a photo tour of America's Stonehenge, and draw your own conclusions.

The Temple Emanuel Band, Children's Choir and Hebrew School invite you to join them for a morning of singing and celebration in memory of the music and legacy of Debbie Friedman z''l, on Sunday morning, January 27, at 10:30. The event is free and open to the public. Please bring your friends and your voices. Refreshments will be available after the concert.
Recognizing that knowledge of our heritage is necessary to form a serious and sincere bond with Judaism, we have made education our highest priority. To this end, Temple Emanuel offers Hebrew and Judaic studies programs for children in pre-K through Confirmation in an exciting educational and social environment.
We are also committed to providing engaging cultural opportunities for our children. In 2013, the TE Children's Choir was created to enhance our students' exposure to Jewish music. The choir is made up of students in grades 1-6 who sing folk and contemporary songs arranged by Anna Zonderman, the new Youth Programs Director at TE.
The TE Band was created in 2009 to celebrate Rabbi Farbman's installation. Made up of members of the congregation from middle school to retirement age, the band, in various iterations, plays at selected Shabbat services and festivals. The band's repertoire includes contemporary and traditional tunes arranged by Laurel Shader. In January 2012, the band made its community debut, headlining the first Debbie Friedman Memorial Concert at the JCC of Greater New Haven.
Temple Emanuel is a diverse, caring and intellectually vibrant community of approximately 150 households. As a small congregation, we have the opportunity to know one another and have meaningful input into how our synagogue operates. Our membership comes from many towns in Greater New Haven and the Naugatuck Valley.
In our first 50 years we've grown spiritually, communally, and personally, and intend to continue the spirit, warmth, diversity, and lively debates that are part of our ethos.
Come experience what TE has to offer!

SHIPPENSBURG — Saturday was a lucky day for the State College track and field teams.
They kept rolling sevens.
Three Little Lion relay teams reached the medal stand on the final day of the PIAA Championships at Shippensburg Universitys Seth Grove Stadium, and all three teams stood in the same spot.
After the 3,200-meter relay teams on both the boys and girls side had each reached the mark, the 400 relay team knew the command.
Our other teammates were like, You cant get below seven, senior Lauren Bonness said. Its seven or up. We made it happen.
The teams were the three Centre County medal winners on another blustery, but at least sunny and warmer, final day of high school track in the state.
The first seven was rolled by the girls 4x800 team, turning in a time of 9 minutes, 24.45 seconds.
Ive never won a medal before, so its definitely very rewarding to have my last race in high school being a medal at the state championships, said senior Hannah Grubb, who ran the lead leg after competing in the 1,600 meters on Friday.
While Grubb had to wait until her final high school race to medal, freshman Natasha Fedkina, who was next to run, didnt have to wait quite so long.
Its just so great to get a medal my first year, said Fedkina, who confessed she didnt feel any pressure before the race.
When the first two legs were done, however, State College was in ninth place in the 12-team race, and it was up to Emma Cousins and Victoria Crawford to pick up at least one spot to reach that medal stand. The two juniors did their part.
I just wanted to get a medal for my team, Cousins said. I believed in Victoria, but I didnt want to put all the pressure on Victoria to beat them. I just wanted to fight for it and do whatever I could for the team.
I knew I had to stay with the pack and at least keep us in eighth place, Crawford said.
The group was joined for the infield celebration by Kaelyn Yoder, also a junior, who ran one of the relay legs in Fridays preliminaries.
As the four girls were waiting on the infield to pick up their medals, they also had good seats to watch their male counterparts, and while the girls race saw the field spread out across more than 200 meters by the races midpoint, the boys were in a much tighter group and the Little Lions were anywhere from sixth to 11th during their race.
I knew I had to get up and pass as many guys as I could, Chris Golembeski said. (We had to) try and stay in front of Carlisle, stay with the guys I knew I could run with and get it to Kyle (Adams) in the best position possible.
All these guys were running against out here, we know all their names, we know all their times, Adams said. Once you get the baton, you know the guys next to you, you know who you can keep up with, who you should be passing. Its just doing your job.
Running the lead leg was Sam Bollinger, the lone senior among the foursome, who faced a different kind of pressure a year-and-a-half ago when he helped the State College soccer team reach the PIAA semifinals before they lost in a shootout.
That was also very nerve-wracking, Bollinger said. (There was a) way bigger crowd for this. There youve got 11 other guys. Here youve got three other guys. More nervous here than there.
Will Cather had the anchor and he surged to as high as fourth before losing a little gas at the end and was passed, but he and Adams managed another feat by matching the finish of last years 4x800 team seventh.
When you have three other guys working their hardest, Cather said, as an anchor trying to get you in the best position, you just want to take it home as fast as possible.
That left the run of numbers to the 400-meter relay girls. Unlike the 3,200 relay races which had 12 teams, this foursome knew all they had to do was not get disqualified and they would pick up a medal. But they also wanted to run fast.
We all were just excited to run, and go out there and give it our best for the end, Bonness said of the teams best time of the season at 49.11 seconds.
After Bonness ran around the turn on the lead leg, she handed the baton to Olivia Watkins, who had one pressing thought.
Get it to Hayley, Watkins said of third-leg runner Hayley Crawford. I was just running. I was just going so fast. I saw people beside me, I was just like, Im not going to let them get me. You know? With the sun on my back I just felt great.
Crawford, a freshman, also knew she had a chance to match her older sister Victoria and pick up a medal of her own.
She just said, Good luck, Crawford said.
The team was running a race otherwise filled with teams from either the Pittsburgh or Philadelphia suburbs, along with Easton, which was later disqualified.
It was well earned for us, said anchor Niara Valentine after closing out the days final seven We worked hard to get here, show them our place here.
Penns Valleys Grace Gover, who started the run of sevens on Friday, returned from her seventh-place medal in the high jump by placing 12th in the triple jump with a top leap of 35 feet, 3 3/4 inches. Teammate Nicole Beinert was 18th in the discus at 96-2.
In the javelin, Tiffany Bertothy of Philipsburg-Osceola finished 21st at 100-11.
In the long jump, State Colleges Bryce Williams injured his quad during the triple jump on Friday and made only one attempt in the long jump Saturday, covering 19-8 1/4, before scratching out of his last two attempts.
In the 3,200-meter runs to start the day, State Colleges Sarah Almarzooqi was 24th in 11:38.42 on the girls AAA side, and Bellefontes Mitchell Smith was 27th in 9:55.83 in boys AAA.

The Executioner
Approx: 85 min.
Sonny Chiba, Yasuaki Kurata, Henry Sanada
The mafia has been running drugs for far too long, and something needs to be done about it. A group of three martial artists, from various backgrounds and styles, have been recruited to recover a large shipment of cocaine. They plot and scheme their way through, killing along the way, to an outcome with a surprise ending.
Audio: 5
There is only one audio track to The Executioner, which is an English dub. The voices sound as you would expect for the genre in the seventies; some being deeper than you would expect for a character, and some just right. The dub was on cue with the characters, though I cannot say the same for some of the sound effects.
Subtitles: 0
There were no recorded subtitles for The Executioner.
Video: 5
It certainly doesnt look like DVD quality, but only ported to the more accessible format. The video contains the many blips and film defects from the original, of course. You dont really notice them once you start getting into the movie.
Overall: 3.4
Aside from fighting, The Executioner also has some nudity and quite a bit of humor. There were definitely scenes that I found quite hilarious. I, however, was quite disappointed that I couldnt get the DVD to play on my computer. The disc wouldnt even load; unlike any other DVD I have placed in the drive.

A Critically Endangered bat – the Rodrigues flying fox, found only on a single island some 1,500 miles off the coast of southern Africa – is being highlighted as one of the Alliance for Zero Extinctions' Seven Wonders of Endangered Species. These seven species were chosen by more than 100,000 worldwide votes cast on social media.
|Rodrigues flying fox (Pteropus rodricensis) Photo © Michael Durham/Minden Pictures, BCI
These seven selected animals are meant to call attention to a total of 587 critical sites, each identified by AZE as the single remaining home of one or more endangered species.
"Each of these phenomenal sites holds a unique wonder of nature – be it a charismatic bird, frog, turtle, or mammal – that is worth protecting in perpetuity, said AZE Chairman Mike Parr of the American Bird Conservancy. "While today we are announcing 7 Wonders, AZE sites are really 587 wonders around the world."
The Alliance is a network of 88 prominent conservation groups, including Bat Conservation International, from 35 countries that is working to protect those unique AZE sites.
The Rodrigues flying fox is found only within a range of less than 50 square miles on Rodrigues Island, part of the Republic of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Its dwindling population is threatened especially by loss of habitat to deforestation, which also increases the often-deadly impact of tropical cyclones on these fruit-eating bats. A promising captive-breeding program is under way with small populations at zoos around the world.
"The Rodrigues flying fox is beautifully adapted to the dry woodlands of its small Indian Ocean island," said BCI Executive Director Andrew Walker. "Unfortunately, it's not alone in its troubles: island bats around the world face similar, severe threats.
"AZE's 7 Wonders is an important reminder of all that we lose when species go extinct," he said.
The other six Wonders of Endangered Species are the long-whiskered owlet of Abra Patricia, Peru; the golden poison frog of Río Saija, Colombia; the Roti Island snake-necked turtle of Roti Island, Indonesia; the Siberian crane of Poyang Hu, China; the Lear's macaw of Raso da Catarina, Brazil; and the Juan Fernández firecrown of Isla Robinson Crusoe, Chile.

ASU's Marshall sidelined after ankle surgery
Senior running back Cameron Marshall, who led the team with 1,050 yards and 18 touchdowns was on crutches after undergoing surgery on his right ankle.
However, head coach Todd Graham was quick to reassure that the procedure on Marshall's ankle was basically a tune-up.
"It was a deal we just needed to clean up," Graham said. "It was really just a routine deal that had lingered from the season that we probably should have already done. But we wanted to make sure we had him at 110 percent, and he was fighting through that."
Despite the setback, Graham was very pleased with what he saw from Marshall in spring practice, even though only one of them was in pads. He's also visibly enthusiastic when considering the role Marshall will play in ASU's offense come fall.
"He's going to be a great back in our system, with our downhill runs that we have and I wanted him to get a feel for those and not wait until next fall," Graham said.
The timetable for Marshall's recovery is 3 to 4 weeks according to Graham.
Other notes from Tuesday's practice:
� Defensive end Davon Coleman returned to practice after not participating in the first week because of a suspension.
"He finally met the standards that we need and he came out, and we're glad to have him back," Graham said.
� Graham hasn't set a depth chart at quarterback just yet, although he said that will be coming soon. So the competition is still a three-headed one between sophomores Mike Bercovici and Taylor Kelly and redshirt freshman Michael Eubank.
Graham commented on the development of Eubank so far this spring through four practices.
"I like the fact that I'm trying to strain him, and the first day I could see it bothered him," Graham said. "Today, he ignored it, he ignored me, it didn't bother him, but I'm gonna try tomorrow to see if I can get him."
� Graham did end his Tuesday media session by singling out one player - linebacker Anthony Jones.
"The guy that's been a shining light in spring, a guy that's getting it done in the classroom and has been bright out here on the field is Anthony, Old Mississippi, Anthony Jones is doing a great job."
Jones, a junior from Hamilton High School in Chandler, played in 11 games in 2011, and registered six total tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup.
� Sophomore defensive lineman Joita Te'i was not at practice because of what Graham called failure to meet team standards.

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — "Bubbles Forever" screams Yale economist Robert Shiller's headline in Project Syndicate. "Bubbles Forever" is a brain scan of today's collective insanity sweeping through millions of investors searching for a "new, new normal," something better than today's uncertainties.
Shiller captured the insanity of the dot-com 1990s in his best-seller, "Irrational Exuberance." Now, his "Bubbles Forever" warns that "irrational exuberance" is back, as we dump bonds, chase yields, searching.
Yes, bubbles are forever ... in our minds. And when the virus takes over our collective brain, there's no talking us out of it. We're like "Mad Money's" Jim Cramer, we know "there's always a bull market somewhere," a contrast to Shiller's warnings of America's "Bubbles Forever" brain, a bizarre new "irrational exuberance." Listen:
"You might think that we have been living in a post-bubble world since the collapse in 2006 of the biggest-ever worldwide real-estate bubble and the end of a major worldwide stock-market bubble the following year. But talk of bubbles keeps reappearing — new or continuing housing bubbles in many countries, a new global stock-market bubble, a long-term bond-market bubble in the United States and other countries, an oil-price bubble, a gold bubble, and so on."
'Bubbles Forever': irrational exuberance wants a 'new, new normal'
Yes, bubbles are forever, bouncing around our brains. Until the next crash. Then, denial, our brain hibernates ... erasing the pain, losses ... memory's suppressed ... the next bubble mania heats up ... like now, a new virus spreads, metastasizing ... feasting on bullish market news, short-term profits ... a new addiction, disease, virus takes over the brain ... exploding into a neurological social-media experience ... consuming America's collective brain ... slowly climbing a new wall of worry ... building to a new critical mass, a new flash point, then ignition.
The '90s dot-com mania was irrational exuberance run amok. American investors created a grand collective delusion of a perpetual New Economy, a new reality where it seemed reasonable for 19 high-tech funds to return 100% to 365% in 1999, where your barber's stock tips seemed reasonable, where the neighborhood barbecue was where we shared our reasonable plans to retire millionaires soon, in the New Millennium.
'Crashes Forever' too ... more frequent, bigger, costlier, deadlier
But their "forever bubble" exploded fast in the New Millennium. Shocked Americans settled into a painful 30-month recession as Wall Street lost $8 trillion market cap of Main Street's retirement nest eggs. That same scenario repeated again in the bank credit meltdown of 2007-2009. And today we're moving headlong into the third shocker of the 21st century. Oblivious that history is repeating, lessons not learned, no wonder we're baffled.
As with "Irrational Exuberance," Shiller's "Bubbles Forever" looks beyond our 24/7 short-term mental trap. He was in Colombia, South America, recently: "People there told me about an ongoing real-estate bubble ... Colombia's central bank maintains a home-price index for three main cities — Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. The index has risen 69% in real (inflation-adjusted) terms since 2004, with most of the increase coming after 2007."
That growth rate reminded him of America's accelerating growth a few years earlier when the S&P/Case-Shiller Ten-City Home Price Index shot up 131% from a 1997 bottom to its peak in 2006, before the bottom collapsed. It's repeating across the world.
'Biggest bubble in history' was visible years before 2008 meltdown
The warning signs began years earlier in our rally leading up to a 2008 crash. Investors slowly climbed the wall of worry as media and market bulls cheered every new record. The warnings were everywhere. But the bulls snorted louder. And our minds were obviously more receptive to the bulls.
Here's a small selection of the many warnings we kept reporting on beginning years before the 2008 subprime mortgage crash:
In mid-2005, three years before collapse: The Economist sounded like the later Schiller: "The worldwide rise in house prices is the biggest bubble in history. … Rising property prices helped to prop up the world economy after the stock market bubble burst in 2000." Prices up 75% worldwide in 5 years, "never before have real house prices risen so fast, for so long, in so many countries … This is the biggest bubble in history."

The doubleheader sweep came after Oklahoma City had defeated the Lions 10-4.
Shelby Romines, who was 2-for-3, gave the Lions a 1-0 lead with a first-inning double that scored Hester. The Lions added three runs in the third inning when Swadley drove in a run on a fielder's choice and Grass hit a two-run home run to left field that scored Romines.

I did not enjoy this film. At all. It should have been called "13" or something to gear it to the 13th amendment process. Not about Lincoln at all. I did like the random bit actors. "OOOhhhh, that's the kid from Witness!!! Is that Hal Holbrook? When did Dixie die?" Unfortunately, Sally Field is no Meryl and she was uncomfortably bad. She sounded, as always, like an 1860 M'Lynn. Shelby, drink that goddamn juice!
As a film, I thought it was horrible. As for DDL, his voice was too tenor. It was distracting. However I never before saw a sexual side to Abraham Lincoln. DDL brought the sex to it. When you go home and think about having sex with Abe Lincoln, SOMETHING is up. And thanks to internet buddy sites I can admit this and finish my croissant.

Everyone loves this, it's addictive. Some hints, when doing the butter/graham crust, add 1/4 teasp. cinnamon. Melt butter in a pot on stove, then stir in the graham crackers, then put it in the pan and press it down evenly. This way, the crust stays together much better than just sprinkling it.
Karen Freeman
I used a combination of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, and walnuts. I pre-mixed these along with the coconut, and poured the mixture over the condensed milk. My daughter who absolutely HATES nuts, and my son who isn't especially fond of coconut, couldn't stay away from these. Nobody could! These easy things were the holiday favorites at the parties I took them to, and it made me wish I hadn't wasted my time on all the other difficult desserts I also brought (and ended up bringing back home). I *would not* line the pan with foil--I believe it would tear when cutting and get stuck in the cookie bars. Eeww. I used a glass dish *without* greasing it first, and it wasn't a bad clean-up at all. Do chill the bars before cutting, and cut the bars into SMALL servings, as a little goes a long way with this super-rich recipe. I definitely would mix the graham crackers and melted butter next time, pressing them firmly into the pan, and then greasing the dish might be a good idea. I might also try semi-sweet chocolate chips, as this recipe is ultra-sweet.
I mixed the crumbs into the butter before patting it into the pan. Also, I wish I had added the nuts before the coconut so the nuts wouldn't taste roasted. Other than that, this was a simple recipe and it was a good combination of flavors. The sides didn't stick much to the pan, but next time, I'll try the foil and spray as suggested for easier cleanup.

Most of the issues that appear on the news are at Walmart.
I don't shop walmart on Black Friday or the day after xmas.
I stick to my best buy, target, kohls, macys and boston store.
"My bronze feels like gold, said the bronze medalist Carolina Kostner
I had to work today so I didn't go shopping until lunch.
My mom got a $400 desktop at Sam's club, some stuff from Menards and some jewelery at Kohl's. My mom got up around 3:30am.
I missed not being with her this morning. We have such a good time, she brings cream of wheat or yougart and I bring hot tea. We sit in the car and take turns in the line before the door opens. Or we just wait in the car until the door opens.
"My bronze feels like gold, said the bronze medalist Carolina Kostner
I was nestled all snug in my bed this morning. But I did shop online. Got a new laptop to replace my current one whose screen shakes, a lot, constantly. HP was having a Black Friday sale so I was able to upgrade to a better version for less money than I would have spent on a downgraded version last week.
About the only thing I saw in all the BF ads that looked worthwhile was a digital camera. They weren't giving it away, but it was discounted. But my current one works fine, and it's really not a necessity right now.
Me and my mom hit Salvation Army. Ours is an "upscale thrift shop". All clothes were 5 for $5.00. Got some stuff from Old Navy brand new with the tags on them that I will sell on Ebay. There was a line to get in but everyone was polite. Somebody could do very well going around these lines with a coffee/espresso cart! Some big dollars to be had!
"awwww....shades of Janet Lynn" - Dick Button on anyone who makes more than one mistake in their program.
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
I actually shopped this year for the first time in maybe 18 or so years.
Dyson vacumns were on sale in lots of stores - same 25% off (I have been eyeing them for so long). I don't have a pet and the model I wanted is a yellow/orange one that I think is ugly (the ones for pet hair are purple, but cost more). Target had an exclusive Red one, instead of ugly color, same discount, so I went when it opened at midnight. Line was long, waited maybe 15 minutes to get in. Local police were allowing people in groups, as mentioned in earlier threads. The police and Target employees were great. Once in the store, it was crazy. Lots of large TVs were in carts and people were pushing the carts, yakking on cell phones and not paying attention and bumping into people.
Since I was there, I bought a few toiletries I needed, which are on the other side of the store from all the electronics, and the checkout line was not long. I got there about midnight and left about 1pm.
A friend was with me to keep me company and she wanted to go across to the mall to go to Macy's. It was crowded, but ok.
Then I got up @ 430 to go to ACMoore (craft store) for 5 am to get a Cricut (diecut machine) that costs $300 but was on sale for $168, which is the cheapest I have ever seen. I arrived about 505 and got the machine, and they were out of them by the time I walked out of the store.
I am glad I went, saved money on 2 items that I was planning to buy anyway (approx $250). But glad I don't normally have to go shopping then.
Just the mood of everyone felt strange, not happy holiday, but rushed.
I actually live near the mall, and change my driving pattern from Thanksgiving til New Years to avoid certain roads closer to the mall.
I did some online shopping, but not until 4:00 pm. I got some fleece-lined jeans for my toddler (have to get them every year) and they were 50% off, and a cart thing from another baby store that I needed.
i would never step into a big store or mall on Black Friday.
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
Youngest daughter and I did local shopping at about 5 boutiques, Banana and JCrew, we did not go to the mall. Got parking right away everywhere we went, stayed out about 5 hours. 40% off at most stores, Banana included. Her Xmas is done, she's happy.
Forgot to post this earlier but at my Macy's earlier today but when I was on my break, one of the managers was in there too and said we had all ready done $450,000+ in sales.....in three hours. That was our midnight to three am time period. I about fell out of my chair. That's a lot of sales in a short amount of time!
I am freaking exhausted and desperately need some sleep. I've been awake pretty much non stop, save for a few hours of napping this morning, since 8:30 AM Thursday morning.
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.

I don't know if every baseball tea did this, but if you bought SF Giants tickets today, they were 20% off. To get the two games I wanted, I was online (in the virtual waiting room) and on the phone for a total of 90 minutes. So there were lines even if you weren't in a store.
Note to tickets.com: upgrade your damn servers.
Meh. Purchased 4 art/drawing technique books on Amazon.
Bought two pairs of Editor pants from Express...at 11 am. 40 percent off
I refuse to shop on Thanksgiving...I know the demand is there but I feel bad for the employees who have to work that day.
"Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him."
I didn't get out of the house until @ 1pm today and still got what I wanted at Target! Woohoo!
Black Friday here started on Thursday at 10pm. I did it one year and swore I'd never do it again, but my son wanted the "experience" so out we went. Long lines, but not as bad as I've seen in other years. Walmart was rather tame, but the police were there investigating an incident of some dispute between customers in line and the manager.
Took a few hours, but we hit everything. Was hoping for iPads to go on sale, but the best I found were $45 off, or $75 gift cards with the 3G. Not really that great considering the price.
I love shopping, but I will not go near a mall (or any store, other than grocery) on Black Friday or on any week end between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can't stand crowded places. I use my store points/private sale coupons/shop friends and family sales, and do just as well as the "one day only, highly publicized sales". Many of the gifts for my kids/nieces are J. Crew. I wait for their best on line % off and free shipping, then buy in one fell swoop. Because I have J. Crew card, I get early notice of sales. Also, many of the stores I shop in will allow you to return it and get a better discount, if the item goes on deeper sale within 10 days of original purchase.
My husband and I are planning on seeing a movie tonight, the nicest one is part of a mall complex, but not actually in the mall. I'm a bit worried that parking will be a nightmare!
I never go shopping on Black Friday. I hate crowds! This year I'm broke so all the more reason to avoid the store.
I did take advantage of one deal. My feed store had $2 off the grain my one horse eats. I had a $10 off coupon for that grain as well. The $18.99 bag of grain cost me $7ish with tax. To me, that was the deal of the weekend. I have more coupons and the sale lasts till Sunday. I might just go back.

FSA fines mortgage lender £1.2m over TCF failings
by Michelle Abrego on Dec 10, 2012 at 11:33
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has fined a Cheadle-based mortgage lender, Cheshire Mortgage Corporation £1.2 million for failing to treat customers fairly in the sale of mortgages and arrears handling.
Chief executive Henry Moser has been fined £70,000 and agreed to step down from his role within three to six months.
The firm's compliance director, Andrew Lawton has also been fined £13,500 and banned from holding a significant influence function.
The regulator has also required the firm to carry out a redress plan of £2 million to around 2,000 affected customers.
The failings occurred from October 2004 to the end of 2009. The FSA found that the firm failed to treat some of its customers fairly when they fell into debts, was unable to always demonstrate that mortgages it sold were affordable, and did not always communicate regularly or fully with its customers.
The regulator found that it overcharged some customers in arrears and applied arrears charges inconsistently and unfairly. In some instances, customers were notified of charges after they had been incurred.
The FSA also found that Cheshire Mortgage Corporation would transfer customers to an in-house company and charged customers £150 for it.
It also said that as chief executive, Moser, was ultimately responsible for the actions and compliance of the firm and he failed to ensure the firm was being properly managed so that problems would be identified and remedied.
Compliance officer Lawton was also aware of poor practices and failed to put them right and 'demonstrated a lack of competence and capability in his role as a compliance director'.
Tracey McDermott, FSA director of enforcement and financial crime, said: 'Cheshire Mortgages Corporation's lacklustre approach to regulation, combined with very poor practices in collecting arrears, meant that some customers already worried about being able to pay back their mortgages were put under undue pressure and sometimes ended up paying more than they should.'

Being often the first to criticise the FSA for their many shortcomings, if what is said is true, I would like to be the first to congratulate them over this.
Well done FSA.report this

About time, this company Cheshire Mortgages ruined my life, repossessed my house 3 times and sadly my marriage broke up with all the stress. The charges were atrocious and now 6 years later they are asking for money! I'm elated the FSA have done their job but, sadly many families have been duped by this company.report this

Muse review: Mac app makes Pandora even easier
Do you love Pandora? No, not just enjoy it, but really love it? If so, $5 and a Mac buys you Industrious One's Muse, a desktop Pandora player that gives you all the Pandora goodness you'd find in a web browser, and a worthwhile bit more.
When you first launch Muse, you see a window that appears to be nothing more than a container for Pandora's website. And that's exactly what it is—complete with your stations, the New Station field for adding more stations, playback controls, thumbs up and down buttons, and any other elements Pandora has chosen to put on the page (including its ads).
So where's the advantage? Muse provides additional—and welcome—control over Pandora in a couple of forms. To begin with, you no longer need to keep your web browser running (or even keep its resources busy) to listen to Pandora. And, unlike with a browser, you can close Muse's window and the music continues to play.Read more »
