After the recent big storm, I was in front of my house shoveling snow from the end of the driveway. A neighbor flew past on his latest "big boy toy" – a brand new, shiny, fully decked out, more impressive than anything I had seen in quite some time, very cool... snowmobile. Even at his great rate of speed, he undoubtedly saw the awe inspired expression which every guy gets when viewing the newest toy on the block. After about 100 yards or so, he made a quick fishtail spin and was heading back in my direction. Coming to a skidding stop in front of me, the usual pleasantries were exchanged, then the discussion of primordial new toy appreciation ensued. The talk was of horse power, speed, agility and of course the great business deal which secured this magnificent ride. For the ladies, I'm guessing this would be the equivalent of discussing the latest bobble you got for your anniversary in every excruciating detail. I think you know what I mean...
Anyway, after about 10 minutes of listening (and my being full of pure jealousy) with the push of a button, the snow machine was once again on its way. So there I was, left standing out in the cold with my shovel. It was a fairly big ego deflating moment. To make matters worse, I have yet to use my big boy toy this year which I would not only repair my ego, but allow me to take my rightful place in the neighborhood as one of the big boys on the block.
For the past few winters, one of the worst aspects of living in Weston has been that every time someone sneezed, the power would go out. So, with a championing foresight, I had a generator system installed. Ah, the hours I spent envisioning being the only house on the block with lights, music, heat and a working fridge stacked high with my favorite craft beer of the week. How I would be the envy of the neighborhood! How in anticipation of the Blizzard of 2013 I waited for the lights to flicker and the transfer switch to kick in signaling the brilliance of my foresight. But alas, it was not to be so. Apparently, Weston spent some serious money in the last year trimming trees away from the power lines. Sadly, my moment of triumph was not yet realized.
This got me to thinking. Being an adult is cool. Way better than being a kid. Better food, no enforced bedtime and our activities, not to mention our toys, are way better than they were when we were younger. Granted, 99% of adults seem to have never mentally graduated from kindergarten, but that's the sociological and frustrating price we pay for the cool things we get to do and have as adults. After all, what is the point of having the coolest snowmobile on the block if you cannot show it off and garner at least a small amount of attention?
So when I look around at kids playing in the snow and I harken back to fond memories of my childhood, I often have to force myself to recall all of the baggage that went along with it. School, bullies, being told what to eat, wear and not to mention having most of my social schedule pre-planned (after school sports, piano lessons etc.). All in all, it was a pretty rigid schedule.
That's why dear reader, why I am here to say that although we may look back on our youth as one of the best times in our lives, being an adult isn't so bad. Yes, we have work, bullies, pre-planned social schedules (wife setting up dinners, business meetings to attend, etc.), at least today at least once in awhile we get to be the guy on the snowmobile. For me, it just makes it all seem worthwhile. That and being able to have a micro brewed beer whenever I want as well.
As always, we welcome your feedback.

As President Barack Obama marks his sixth Independence Day in the White House, his approval ratings remain near the lowest of his presidency.
Just 41 percent of Americans approve of the job the president's doing in office, according to a new CNN Poll of Polls. But while Obama's numbers are anything but impressive, the approval rating for Congress is significantly lower.
The CNN Poll of Polls -- compiled and released Thursday -- also indicates that 54 percent of the public gives Obama a thumbs down on his job performance. The poll averages the seven nonpartisan, live operator, national surveys of the president's approval rating conducted since the beginning of June.
Obama's approval rating -- a key indicator of a president's standing with Americans and of his clout here in the nation's capital -- is hovering slightly above where it stood in November and early December when it was at or near all-time lows in many national surveys. And it's some 10 percentage points below where it stood at the beginning of 2013 -- soon after his 2012 re-election victory.
The president's numbers tumbled after late spring and summer following controversies over the Edward Snowden intelligence leaks and congressional investigations into IRS targeting of conservative political groups. Then came October and the politically charged botched rollout of the website for the Affordable Care Act, his signature domestic policy achievement.
Coupled with legislative setbacks, many pundits labeled 2013 the worst year of Obama's presidency. And for the first time since taking over at the White House in 2009, a majority of the public surveyed disapproved of his job performance.
Obama's numbers slightly rebounded earlier this year before edging down to their current standing in the low 40s.
The release of the new CNN Poll of Poll comes as the scandal rocking the Department of Veterans Affairs has dominated recent headlines. And the president has also recently faced numerous international challenges, including the increased bloodshed in Iraq, the ongoing civil war in Syria, and the fighting in Ukraine, as well as the controversial swapping of five Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay for the release of a U.S. soldier held captive in Afghanistan.
Independent voters may be fueling the deterioration of Obama's approval ratings.
"The president is still riding high with Democrats, and has never been very popular among Republicans. But it's the independents who are dragging down Obama's ratings. In some polls only about a third of independents approve of his job performance," said CNN polling director Keating Holland.
How Obama compares to predecessors
So how does Obama stack up against his most immediate two-term predecessors as they marked their sixth Independence Day in the White House?
George W. Bush stood at 36 percent in 2006, Bill Clinton was at 60 percent in 1998. And Ronald Reagan was at a lofty 64 percent in 1986. Richard Nixon, just weeks before he resigned over the Watergate scandal, stood at 28 percent.
The CNN Poll of Polls release came one day after a Quinnipiac University survey indicated that Obama tops the list of the worst presidents since World War II. Thirty-three percent of people questioned in the poll said that Obama is the worst president since the Second World War, with 28 percent saying Bush was the worst. Thirteen percent picked Nixon, while 8 percent named Jimmy Carter.
It's important to note that Obama and Bush, his predecessor in the White House, are more in the public conscious than previous presidents, and that both have governed during a time of bitter partisanship that's made compromise between the two major political parties extremely difficult. When Quinnipiac last asked the question, in 2006, Bush topped the list, with 34 percent saying he was the nation's worst president.
Congressional approval abysmal
The presidential approval rating -- during a midterm election cycle -- is considered a key indicator of how the president's political party may fare on Election Day.
The silver lining for the president: While his numbers are nothing to brag about, the approval rating for Congress is in the gutter. Only 14 percent of Americans approve of the job federal lawmakers on Capitol Hill are doing, according to the new CNN Poll of Polls, with nearly eight in 10 giving Congress a thumbs down.
The 14 percent approval rating is slightly better than November, when just 10 percent of the public gave Congress a thumbs up. But it's down from a year ago, when the congressional approval average stood at 17 percent.
"It's easy for Americans to dislike Congress because most of them are familiar, at most, with only three members -- their two U.S. Senators and the U.S. Representative from their district. That leaves 532 strangers who are easy to despise," Holland added.
Control of Congress is at stake in November's midterm elections.
Democrats have a 55-45 majority in the Senate (53 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the party). But in the midterms, the party is defending 21 of the 36 seats up for grabs, with half of those Democratic-held seats in red or purple states. In the House, the Democrats need to pick up a challenging 17 Republican-held seats to win back the majority from the GOP.
The CNN Poll of Polls is an average of the seven nonpartisan, live operator, national surveys of the president's approval rating conducted since the beginning of June: Gallup daily tracking poll (June 30-July 2); Quinnipiac University (June 24-30); Fox News (June 21-23); CBS News/New York Times (June 20-22); American Research Group (June 17-20); NBC News/Wall Street Journal (June 11-15) and Bloomberg (June 6-9).
The CNN Poll of Polls on Congress is an average of three nonpartisan, live operator, national surveys of congressional approval conducted since the start of June: CBS News/New York Times (June 20-22); Gallup (June 5-8); and Fox News (June 1-3).
Since it is an average of multiple surveys, the Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error.

Legal Status of Nonhuman Animals (pdf file - 276.70 KB)
On September 25, 1999, a distinguished group of legal scholars met in New York City at the 5th Annual Conference on Animals and the Law, hosted by the Committee on Legal Issues Pertaining to Animals of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, to discuss how the law classifies nonhuman animals and whether the current legal framework is in accord with scientific understanding, public attitudes, and fundamental principles of justice. This conference took a monumental step in facilitating discussion about, and furthering the cause of, the legal protection and welfare of nonhuman animals.

Kokand (Uzbek: Qo'qon / Қўқон;Persian: خوقند; Chagatai: خوقند; Russian: Коканд) is a city in Fergana Province in eastern Uzbekistan, at the southwestern edge of the Fergana Valley. It has a population of 192,500 (1999 census estimate). The population of Kokand on April 24th 2014 is approximately 187,477. Kokand is 228 km (142 mi) southeast of Tashkent, 115 km (71 mi) west of Andijan, and 88 km (55 mi) west of Fergana. It is nicknamed "City of Winds", or sometimes "Town of the Boar". More likely to form place names from tribal names - a well-known family and a tribal group Kokan in Kongrat tribe of Uzbeks.[1]
Kokand is on the crossroads of the ancient trade routes, at the junction of two main routes into the Fergana Valley, one leading northwest over the mountains to Tashkent, and the other west through Khujand. As a result, Kokand is the main transportation junction in the Fergana Valley.
Kokand has existed since at least the 10th century, under the name of Khavakend and was frequently mentioned in traveler's accounts of the caravan route between India and China. The Han Dynasty of China conquered the entire city in the 1st Century B.C. Later, the Tang Empire reconquered the region from Arab Abassids. The Mongols destroyed Kokand in the 13th century.
The present city began as a fort in 1732 on the site of another older fortress called Eski-Kurgan. In 1740, it became the capital of an Uzbek kingdom, the Khanate of Kokand, which reached as far as Kyzylorda to the west and Bishkek to the northeast. Kokand was also the major religious center of the Fergana Valley, boasting more than 300 mosques.
Russian imperial forces under Mikhail Skobelev captured the city in 1883 which then became part of Russian Turkistan. It was the capital of the short-lived (1917–18) anti-Bolshevik Provisional Government of Autonomous Turkistan (also known as Kokand Autonomy).[2] They sought co-operation from Ataman Dutov and Alash Orda. However their emissary to the Amir of Bukhara achieved little.
Main sights[edit]
- The Palace of Khudayar Khan was built between 1863 and 1874. Upon completion, it was one of the largest and most opulent palaces in Central Asia. Nineteen of its original one hundred and thirteen rooms survive and now host a museum.
- Jummi Mosque (right), a Friday mosque built in 1800-1812, and reopened in 1989, it can hold 10,000 worshipers.
- Amin Beg Madrassah, built in 1813.
- Dakhma-I-Shokhon, a necropolis of the Kokand Khans from the 1830s.
- Khamza Museum, dedicated to Kokand's Soviet hero Hamza Hakimzade Niyazi.
Education and culture[edit]
Islam plays large role in the cultural life of Kokand. A number of madrasah can be found with the city. It is also home to a number of notable hanafi scholars, such as Abdulhafiz Al-Quqoniy and Yorqinjon Qori Al-Quqoniy.
There are 2 institutes, 9 colleges and lyceums, 40 secondary schools, 5 musical schools, a theater, and 20 libraries. There are 7 historical and house museums located in Kokand.[3]
The black market provides nearly 75% of the income generated in the borders of the city. This includes retail, groceries, employment, money exchange, agriculture and manufacturing of many goods. A large part of the population works as small business owners in outdoor markets.
Kokand is a center for the manufacture of fertilizers, chemicals, machinery, and cotton and food products. Over the last two decades, new districts and public buildings have been created in the city as well as many houses, shops, cafes, restaurants and other private sector ventures. Kokand is an education center with one institute, nine colleges and lyceums, and numerous museums.
Notable people[edit]
The famous Uzbek writer Abdulla Qahhor was born in Kokand in 1907. Before moving to Tashkent Qahhor attended several schools in Kokand and other nearby villages.

Local columnist
---- — Something happened this week that made me wonder if I've begun to get old, if I've lost touch with the "in" crowd.
I guess if I have to ask it's probably too late.
You see, I've been on my way to a premature style demise for a while now. Some years ago I decided skinny jeans are the most ridiculous fashion fad to be regurgitated from the bowels of history. And I refuse to allow my 5-year-old son, Spencer, to wear his baseball cap in any direction other than the right one. But something in a wire news story Monday sealed my fate.
"Twerking, what's that?" I asked.
"It's a dance move," replied another Record-Eagle editor before he explained that Miley Cyrus made a fool of herself "twerking" Sunday night on stage on national TV.
The fact that I had to learn about the revamped form of butt jiggling from a man twice my age is bad enough, but once I Googled and watched the video, I realized I'm way out of my depth.
Note how I used Google properly as a verb in the context above. Surely that's got to count for something, right?
Somehow, I find little reassurance in my stellar Google usage, and even less as the instant replay of the awards show scrolled across my computer screen.
Cyrus, who was in third grade when I graduated high school, shed most of her clothing save beige underwear and began to perform a song and dance that seems more appropriate for the stage of a strip club than a televised music awards show.
Immediately, I launched into one of those "back in my day" rants in my head. A few words into a mental tirade about how, when Will Smith still was rapping they just called it "booty shaking," I stopped.
I've got two kids and I've been married for nearly a decade, but I can't be that old, can I?
I was practically to the point of standing on my front lawn, shaking my fist at neighborhood kids who left footprints in my grass.
I rarely eat dinner before 6:30 p.m. and I can't remember the last time I pulled the handle on a slot machine. Heck, cashiers and waitresses regularly ask to see my ID when I buy beer.
But two weeks ago, one cashier said something rather unsettling.
"Wow, you're a lot older than you look," said the woman behind the counter at Hansen Foods in Suttons Bay before she stuck my driver's license back in my hand.
The scene played back a few times in my head as the images of Cyrus bumping and grinding ticked away on my monitor.
Then, just about the time I began to wonder if my favorite restaurants serve early-bird specials, it happened.
The video cut to a shot of Will Smith sitting in the front row at the awards show, mouth agape, reeling with the shock of what was unfolding on stage in front of him. The picture was nothing if not reassuring.
At least if I'm getting old and stodgy, I'll have good company.

Oh Jordan, what have you done! Now, there's all for being a Mag in the Sunderland team, I'm sure plenty have been there before, but lad, have a word with yourself and some respect for your employer. Whilst Mr Laidler, an SAFC youth player of promise, appears to have deleted the tweet, and used youth vernacular along the lines of "haters don't bother me", on this sort of day, it's not wise to put that sort of thing into the open is it? With the follow up tweets, it looks like his account hasn't been hacked, nor am I particularly sure anyone would hack the account of an obscure youth teamer. One would hope club give him a slap on the wrists, and send him to his room with no supper, the little bugger.

Posted Thursday, July 5, 2012 --- 7:50 a.m.
Here is the latest Wisconsin news from The Associated Press:
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- An excessive heat warning remains in effect for much of Wisconsin through tomorrow night. And there's still a heat advisory posted for northern parts of the state. The National Weather Service says temperatures could soar as high as 106 today.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The family of a 13-year-old boy who was fatally shot outside his Milwaukee home in late May has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the 75-year-old suspect. Prosecutors say John Spooner accused Darius Simmons of stealing his guns and shot the boy when he denied it. Spooner has pleaded not guilty.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A third person involved in a wrong-way crash in Milwaukee has died. Kathlene Flessert died yesterday. She had been in critical condition since the Monday morning crash on Highway 41. The wrong-way driver and another person died Monday.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin elections board is creating a website to help military and overseas voters request absentee ballots. Those voters now must contact their municipal clerk directly to have a ballot sent to them. But the Government Accountability Board is developing a single website to simplify the process. A Defense Department grant is paying for the project.

I can, and I'm happy to say it. AMD starts 2008 with a bang with the introduction of the Radeon HD 3780 X2. This teraflop wonder is essentially two Radeon HD 3870 GPUs placed on a single card. Why create a new chip, when you can double up on the best card you have; that's my motto. AMD has entered the thunderdome with this beast, so grab the popcorn and get ready for the fireworks. The battle for top video card begins.
In the race for the performance crown, AMD supplied some nice specs to backup their tough talk. The dual GPU solution has 512MB frame buffer on each, for a total of 1GB onboard memory. The GPUs on the Radeon HD 3870 X2 will be clocked at a minimum of 825MHz, up from the standard 3870′s 775MHz. While the HD 3870 X2′s frame buffer memory will be clocked lower, that only means applications that are limited by shader performance and fillrate should be faster on the 3870 X2. And yes, this includes a pair of Radeon HD 3870 cards running in CrossFire mode. Another juicy tidbit is AMD will be releasing drivers that allow pairing two HD 3870 X2 cards for quad-GPU rendering. If AMD comes through with this, you'll essentially have 1280 stream processors and 2GB of memory at the games' disposal with 2 Teraflops of computing power.
To get the basics out of the way, AMD's reference Radeon HD 3870 X2 card has a pair of dual-link DVI outputs, and an HD video output. One of the DVI outputs can be utilized as an HDMI output with audio using an included adapter. Because the Radeon HD 3870 X2 has dual GPUs, it is capable of supporting four DVI outputs.
Other key features to mull over
- Ultimate Microsoft® DirectX® 10.1 Performance – You'll be blown away by life-like graphics from the latest DirectX® 10.1 games, with stunning 3D graphics and shading effects.
- Over 1 teraFLOPS of Compute Power – up to 640 stream processors (320 x 2) on a single card deliver the raw horsepower to attack the most demanding graphics applications
- ATI CrossFireX(tm) multi-GPU – Upgrade to even greater 3D performance quickly and easily thanks to plug-and-play ATI CrossFireX technology with up to quad-GPU support.
- Unified Video Decoder – View and manipulate the latest Blu-ray and HD DVD content with a dedicated hardware video decoder that leaves your CPU free to perform other tasks.
- Integrated Digital Outputs – Enjoy your digital content the way you want to, with built-in HDMI that includes 5.1 surround audio for big screen entertainment.
- More Processing Performance per Watt – Get up to twice the Gigaflops per watt of previous generations of high-end AMD GPUs.
- ATI PowerPlay(tm) Technology – power saving features that reduce power consumption at idle or during low-usage
- Runs Cool and Quiet – With a smaller chip designed to use less power, your system can take advantage of high-end Windows Vista® features while running more efficiently and quieter than ever.
Now some may ask: "what is the advantage of getting this card rather than purchasing two separate HD 3870 cards?" That's Easy – you can now purchase two HD 3870 X2 cards – Woohoo! Is it cheaper than purchasing two HD 3870 cards – sure, but that's beside the point. Benchmarks from games will be released as the card becomes more available. The high-end graphics race is once more heating up and AMD is now on the other side of the teraflop horizon.

The Independent
A mission team from Hopewell Baptist Church in the Charlotte, N.C., area is planning on making a difference here this week.
They chose Ashland as a mission field.
Hopewell church member Heather Morris, a 1991 graduate of Paul G. Blazer High School, had a burden for her hometown. She and her husband, Phillip Morris, a 1991 graduate of Boyd County High School, have made numerous trips back and forth from North Carolina to Kentucky in the last 20 years She saw a change in her hometown and not one for the better.
It was five years ago that Heather began developing a vision for a mission trip to her hometown but it was late October when the fuse was actually lit.
"I saw all of us in Ashland with these green shirts, all of us helping those in need and I saw the concert in Central Park," she said. "I envisioned almost everything that's happened."
She shared her vision with Irene Furr and her husband Larry, a deacon and leader at the church, happened onto the conversation.
"He said 'Heather, if you're serious, I'll help you,''' Morris said. "Larry knew who to call and what needed to happen. When I first got the vision, I was real excited. But I lost my excitement for it because I thought 'This isn't going to happen because I don't know how to do this.' Then Larry came along.''
When Furr became involved, the project started taking shape. They immediately began having informal Kentucky mission meetings at church and a plan was launched.
The team leaders made several trips into Ashland, meeting with city officials and non-profit organizations that could help pave the way for the mission trip. Forty-two members of the church arrived in Ashland on Saturday and plan on working here all week in the city's project neighborhoods — Debord, Hillcrest, Bruce, Central Avenue and Scope Towers.
They had a block party on Sunday at Scope Towers, cooking up more than a 100 hot dogs, with a large turnout that was hungry and thankful, Morris said.
"Some of them said 'That's the first time anybody who has ever come over here,''' Morris said. "Churches need to realize they have to get outside their own walls. Nobody has anything to motivate them. Christians get in our own little circle but we have to get out and minister to the lost."
Morris said she has watched her own family be touched by drug abuse and addiction, including prescription drugs.
"We come and go, so we see the change," she said. "We've seen our hometown change over 20 years for the worse."
Morris drew a photograph of a glass salt shaker with H's, for Hopewell, in the sprinkler instead of salt. "We want to have Hopewell sprinkled all over Ashland."
Morris and her husband moved to Charlotte in 1993 and they had their rough times, too, after doing the "bar scene." They even filing for divorce in 1998. But they stayed together and in 2000 had a daughter. That's when they became involved in Hopewell, which has grown to a church were 1,300 come to worship on Sunday mornings. "It started out with 142 (on Sundays) 12 years ago," Morris said. "Our pastor, Lee Pigg, is mission-minded. All credit to him. He's what makes it go."
Her husband started a motorcycle mission and she is involved in a homeless mission. She also has a burden for her hometown.
"We totally believe in missions," Morris said. "We have a 10-10-10 thing. It's 10 minutes of prayer on the 10th day of the month and a $10 donation. That's what funds these mission trips."
On Monday, the mission team was busy working in the Central Avenue neighborhood, cutting and trimming lawns, rebuilding porches and rails, putting up gutters and doing anything else that was needed. They were buzzing around everywhere.
The Central Avenue neighborhood is thankful for the help from the new friends from North Carolina. "I just think it's so cool," said Sylvia Morrison. "It's like having a bunch of little elves at Christmas."
Janine Castle has lived in the same home on 31st Street since 1994. The mission team will be staining a deck that the city built for her a few years ago. They also put in a sidewalk so it was easier access for her wheelchair. She was sitting on her porch watching the beehive of activity from the mission team.
"It's a godsend," she said. "I appreciate them coming all that way. What they're doing, I just can't do. I'm so thankful for them."
Castle said she is looking forward to the block party at Central Baptist on Thursday night, too. "I offered to help or have my daughters help but they said they've got it covered. How nice is that?"
Furr said several local Baptist churches — Central, Wildwood, First Baptist and Unity Baptist — have provided a lot of support to the cause. Six local church members are teaming with the mission team, Furr said. "That gives us about 60 people on the street," he said.
The Greenup Association of Baptists is providing housing in its Cannonsburg facility.
The mission team brought two trailers full of lawnmowers, weedeaters, hammers, saws and other building equipment. Lowe's also gave them a 10 percent discount for items purchased here, Morris said.
Furr said his team is even trying to tackle the prostitution problem by ministering to the women on the streets. First Baptist Church is providing some assistance with that as well through their Women on the Street ministry. Morris is among the mission team working with that group, too.
"We want to reach out to these women on the street," Furr said. "We want to pamper them a little and show them Jesus Christ."
Curtis Maynard, who has lived on Central Avenue for 11 years, took some of the workers cold bottles of water. "I think it's great that they came here to help," he said. "Our neighborhood isn't as bad as people think."
"The cops have cleaned up the neighborhood a lot," said Ashley Leake.
From cleaning up yards and houses to running day camps, Furr said his team wants to show God's love to the residents in the targeted neighborhoods. He says no situation is hopeless with God involved.
"God knows exactly what we need," Furr said. "We're praying for divine appointments."
The week will culminate with a free "Rock" concert in Central Park on Friday night at 6. A band from North Carolina and the Jason Lovins Band will be performing. Local marathon runner Amy Compston will be sharing her testimony between the two acts.

You all don't know these dudes and what they are capable of. You have to know the streets to even come close to understanding just how dangerous the American prison system is. These inmates aren't...
Dana White is not impressed with Thiago Silva's winning UFC Fight Night 29 performance over Matt Hamill this evening from Jose Correa Gymnasium in Barueri, Brazil. Silva, who came in two pounds heavy, looked soft and incredibly out of shape. Perhaps he'll reveal that an injury prevented him from being in top form, but in the meantime, he deserves all the fat boy jokes lobbed his way after that disaster. For more on Thiago Silva vs. Matt Hamill check out our complete fight recap right here.
UFC on FUEL TV 2 press conference full video for "Gustafsson vs Silva" on April 14 at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
So i was thinking today, what the hell has happened with Thiago Silva??? his second drug test can't take this long and theres been no news whatsoever since he got pulled from the Rampage fight. Any of our brazilian posters know of anything?? or has anyone else heard anything on the situation?? It seems everyones fogotten about it, and I'd have thought itd be a big story to report in the mma world.
While Thiago Silva was open-handed slapping Brandon Vera last night (Jan. 1) at UFC 125, light-heavyweight prospect Jon Jones tweeted the following: "Wow that slapping was so disrespectful.. id love to give him a slap in the face." Anybody else salivating at the idea of a "Bones" vs Silva rivalry?
Brandon Vera's nose after his fight with Thiago Silva. "The Truth" hurts.

For some, World Series title 'hasn't sunk in yet'
- Last Updated on 04:52 PM 08/09/12
- BY Doug Ford
Four members of the Dixie Softball World Series champion Halifax American Debs all-star team, Jennifer Lacks, Dalyn Hall, Kate Bane and Meg Bane, count a total of 32 series appearances between them, with all four winning their first World Series title in 2009 as Halifax American Belles all-stars.
VeVe Brandon, Jill Trickey and Tayler Mosley also were part of that Belles all-star team, now with two World Series championships to their credit after Wednesday's 1-0 win over Winnsboro, Louisiana.
For five others, Jamilia Smith, Jameshia Smith, Courtney Epps, Lindsey Wilkins and Jessica Velazquez, the feeling of winning their very first World Series hasn't sunk in quite yet.
A World Series title has been a long time coming, according to both Jameshia and Jamilia Smith.
"It feels good," said Jamilia Smith, who had been to a number of World Series before finally winning one.
Smith, who had the game-winning base hit in her team's 5-4 win over Arkansas the night before the championship game, said her team may have been a little nervous going into the championship game but added getting the early run settled them down.
"We were nervous at the beginning, but when we scored that run the nerves went away," said Smith.
"We were focused, worked together and picked each other up," said Jamilia Smith in explaining how the team meshed to win a championship.
All the pressure is off, now, she added.
Jameshia Smith agreed with her softball sister, admitting she felt a little sense of relief after finally winning a World Series after several tries.
"We had to stay focused at all times and stay together, and it's a wonderful feeling to win one," said Smith, who thought the team's early run eased the pressure a little bit.
The team made solid defensive plays when they counted most, particularly the throw home by Meg Bane to Trickey in the fifth inning to keep Louisiana scoreless.
"Meg made an awesome play to the plate to keep that run from scoring, and people made awesome catches in the outfield," noted Smith.
"We had to keep focused, not just one person but everybody," she added.
Epps commented she was speechless at winning her first World Series, adding she didn't think it has fully hit her yet.
Epps was part of the American Belles all-star team last year that finished in third-place at the Dixie Softball Belles World Series in South Hill.
That makes this championship all the sweeter, in her mind.
"This was my second World Series. Last year, we had a chance at it, but South Hill was the better team," explained Epps.
"This year, we were the best team there, and we had good competition.
"I think Louisiana was the best team we'd seen."
"The last game was so stressful, but when the last out was made we were so excited, it was just amazing."
"I loved the group of girls we had this year," continued Epps.
"I knew we could do it. Most of the girls on this team had already won a World Series, and this year we had a lot of pitching, strong bats and fast runners.
"That's what put the team together."
The Halifax American Debs compiled were undefeated in both the state tournament and the World Series, compiling a 5-0 mark in the state tournament and a 6-0 record in World Series play.

New Brochure Highlights LoadMatch's Green Building Advantages
CRANSTON, RI, November 18, 2005 – Taco, Inc. has issued an updated version of its LoadMatch® System brochure, providing complete information on the LoadMatch single pipe system for hydronic applications, and specifically for use in Green Buildings.
The new 12-page brochure details the advantages of the LoadMatch system in terms of materials, energy usage, design and installation time savings, and provides complete details and a number of color graphics on the system's configuration for a variety of buildings and applications.
With the advent of the Green Building movement, the LoadMatch system provides design engineers and developers a "Green" heating and cooling solution for Green Building certification.
Taco maintains that LoadMatch provides better comfort than all-air systems as well as conventional hydronic systems. Because it is an unconventional single pipe system, LoadMatch requires less pipe (about 40% less) and allows for the elimination of control valves and most balancing valves. In addition, the system requires lower pump head and less power to move water through a building.
Taco's LoadMatch system is supported by the company's proprietary Hydronic Systems Solution software program. LoadMatch systems have been installed in a wide variety of commercial and institutional buildings across the U.S. and Canada, and in several Green certified buildings.
For more information on Taco's LoadMatch System, or to obtain a copy of the new brochure, contact the company at 401.842-8000 or visit the company's website at http://www.taco-hvac.com/ where a LoadMatch direct link can be found.

Picture this: a bunch of guys sitting around talking about girls. Just a normal guys-talking-about-dream-women sort of convo, one man dropping the name of some god-dess, and the others cheering in response. Beyoncé Knowles, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Lucy Liu all get their props. But we're in Orlando, Florida, in a recording studio, tinkering with a song called "Girlfriend," for an album called Celebrity by a quintet called 'N Sync; so these guys talking goddesses are young and paid with the style, fame and looks to actually nab one of these goddesses, which changes the dynamic of the conversation from abstract dreaming to abstract planning.
There's a valley of knobs and red, green and yellow dots of light, a bank of speakers, a recordable CD on which someone has written "'NSucks" and a slew of Aeron chairs, but the whole room is probably smaller than your bedroom if you live with your parents. To the right is producer Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes – who has worked with Jay-Z, Mystikal and Ol' Dirty Bastard – leaning back in a white Polo shirt with a pink Ralph Lauren logo. To Williams' left sits Chris Kirkpatrick of 'N Sync. His hair is maroon and spiky, and he wears baggy orange Abercrombie and Fitch cargo shorts and Air Jordans. And next to Chris is Justin Timberlake, sporting paint-splattered jeans, a plain white T-shirt, a big diamond stud in each ear, a Top Gun-ish crew cut and blue-tinted sunglasses resting at the base of his neck. (Lance Bass and JC Chasez will show up in a few hours to contribute their vocals, and Joey Fatone will come in tomorrow.) Justin's dinner, a small Denny's chicken-fried steak with runny cheese eggs and something resembling mashed potatoes, is waiting nearby. He's restless, driven, polite and pleasant – especially pleasant, positive and encouraging when coaching Chris on his vocals. He's not a goody-goody, though he calls his mom his best friend. "There's nothing in this world that I've done that my mother does not know about," he says. He spontaneously launches into songs by Bill Withers or Missy Elliott, or paeans to his grandmother's cooking. "Once you've had my grandmother's peach cobbler, you are saved!" Imagine one of those highly energized kids who go to church camp, then add a healthy dose of hip-hop flavoring.
You probably already know that Justin is dating one of the goddesses (Britney Something-or-other). That explains why he's been pretty quiet through most of the goddess praising, up until now. "I think my girl is fine," he says without arrogance, just pride, a blond goatee barely visible against his manila-colored skin. "I scored. What can I say? The thing is, so many girls you meet in this business are so into themselves, and Britney is not. She's as down-home as she was before she got into this. That's the best thing about her. I got the cream of the crop, man!" No one argues with that.
'N Sync: Weird Scenes Inside the Glitter Factory
Half an hour later, slicing through a near-empty Orlando highway at seventy miles an hour in his blood-red Plymouth Prowler with the top down and the setting sun painting the sky with brilliant orange and pink, Justin continues gushing about his sweetheart. "When we get together, that's just my girl, and I love her, and that's it. I don't think about what everybody's thinkin' about. She makes me happy. She's like salvation." Being a good friend to her is important to him. "All she has is me. I'm the only one in her life she wants to talk to about stuff. If I have a problem, I have four guys I can talk to, and I can go directly to them. She has to call me on the phone, and it's hard." He's helping her move from bubblegum to more rockish stuff. "I'm givin' her some ideas." You just know that someday they'll do a song together. "The timing has to be right for both of us," he says. "I want it to be somethin' new that they haven't heard us do, that they didn't think we could do. I feel like we still have artistic growth to show, and maybe after that, then I'll think about it. It definitely would be a spectacle. It would be huge."
All those still wondering if the coupling of America's two cutest teen-pop idols is some sort of publicity stunt, please see Lance Bass: "I think it's the coolest relationship ever," he says. "They're so perfect for each other, It's scary. They were girlfriend and boyfriend at ten or eleven, and it was his first kiss, her first kiss. They don't have hardly any time together, but that's what keeps it kinda fresh. You see those types of things and say, 'Oh, that's so fake, they probably hate each other.' But, no, it's real. Kind of gives love a hope."
Together, these two lovebirds are responsible for the sales of some 40 million copies of five records, according to SoundScan – roughly, that's one CD for every man, woman and child in California and Massachusetts. Add the other two teen-pop titans – the Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera – and the number jumps to 76 million, or more than a quarter of the U.S. population.
'N Sync are top dogs in the world of teen pop. Their last album, No Strings Attached, set a sales record for most copies sold in a single week: 2.4 million, 1.1 million of which were sold the first day the album was released. And in a business where most acts make the majority of their money from live performances, not record sales (which, surprise, make money for the label, not the artist), their concerts pull down the biggest paychecks: an average gross of $2.5 million a night for their current PopOdyssey stadium tour (for which they'll play forty-four dates, wrapping up in August in EI Paso). They are riding high, and they are enjoying it. "We've always been the redheaded stepchild," Lance says, "the underdog in everything we've done, and to finally feel we're on top is very emotional."
But they are also at a crossroads. Since 1997, when the Backstreet Boys first broke big, teen-pop acts have ruled the land. 'N Sync were started in the wake of the Backstreet Boys by the same manager as BSB, and, just as the Backstreet Boys did, they broke their contract when they felt they were getting ripped off. "I hate when people take advantage of us," says Lance. "That's when I really go off the deep end. That's when I get to yell. It's like one of those demon things comes out of me." With No Strings Attached they pulled themselves out the Backstreet Boys' shadow. But now other shadows are looming: Much is being made of the return of rock, of bands such as Staind, Tool and Weezer, who are neither teen nor pop. And with 'N Sync's audience growing up, the biggest shadow they must contend with is their own.
"I went to our label and said, 'Can we release, like, 2.3 albums so it won't break the record?' "Lance says. "If we don't break it this time, it'll be so nice because the next album won't be a competition. If we break it this time, then it's gonna start all over again."
"You think that this album we're out to break our record?" Chris says. "No. We're out to have another great album. That's our goal. We don't determine album sales; people do. We determine how good the record is."
On Celebrity, 'N Sync try to push their boundaries beyond what you'd expect from a boy band. The lead single, "Pop," sounds little like 'N Sync's past stuff, and little like anything on the airwaves right now. Justin co-wrote the song with the group's choreographer, Wade Robson, then enlisted twenty-eight-year-old techno producer BT, who has worked with Madonna, Tori Amos and Seal. The idea was to create a song that echoed BT's "Hip-hop Phenomenon," from the U.K. version of his album Movement in Still Life. "I'm like, 'If you seriously wanna do something experimental, I'm down to do that,' "BT recalls. "'But you guys have to let me treat your vocals so irreverently, it's not even funny.' And they're like, 'No problem.'"
BT wanted to do "a frackle-stutter-edited Michael Jackson" track. But the song took on another life when one day he heard Justin beatboxing under his breath. "I'm like, 'Dude, that's dope. You gotta go in there and do that!'" says BT. "He's like, 'No, I never put that on our tracks.' I'm like, 'I don't give a shit, dude! Get your ass in there.' So we took a pair of broken headphones and used 'em as a mike, and I recorded four tracks of him beatboxing." BT took the track and did about 1,200 edits, "like, Max Headroom-style frackle-stutter edits" and buried them within the track. When Justin and JC came by his place, he played them the song, then soloed the track of Justin beat-boxing. JC flipped out. So did Justin. "He was like, 'Oh, my God! You have to make a mix for my car of this track with the beatboxing at the end.'" Justin fell in love with the mix, and even though it was made just for his personal use, he submitted it to the label, and that's the mix of "Pop" that you hear now.
That sort of experimentation is why 'N Sync feel that Celebrity – featuring co-production by the Neptunes, R&B star Brian McKnight and Rodney Jerkins (as well as Swedish teen-pop architect Max Martin) – shows them as more mature, more musically diverse, and more themselves. But freedom's Siamese twin is responsibility. 'N Sync are no longer employees; they're owners who must accept any potential blame. Rejecting Celebrity means rejecting them. "We totally took control of this," Lance says. "It's written and produced mainly by us." Eighty percent of the album was written by the guys – up from fifty percent of No Strings. "It's not like, 'Oh, Max Martin didn't write us a good song this time.' It's us."

Made these the other night & loved them. Work great as leftovers if you make extras. We had small peppers so we used 4 small peppers, a 14.5 oz can of stewed tomatoes & increased the rice to 1/2 cup. Also finished the peppers off in the oven. Excellent
I made them in the oven instead of the microwave and they were still delicious. I baked at 400 for 30 minutes. Fantastic recipe!!
Looks fantastic! Anyone have any advice on how to make it in the oven instead of microwave?
I have made this many times. My husband insists on meat with his meals and so I slice a cooked chicken/apple sausage link into rounds and tuck them into the filled peppers. Totally delicious!
Unless you are needing to count grams of carb for a meal serve this with a side of pasta if you wish.
I would probably favor some fruit plus salad to serve with it.
Yes, the combo of beans and corn provide a complete protein for your digestive system.

Jenna Goudreau, Forbes Staff
I write about business and women's leadership.
The savior of soup is explaining how she will rescue Campbell's from irrelevance.
"These are called ShakeDowns," Denise Morrison, new CEO of the 143-year-old Camden, N.J. soup company, says as she fumbles with a small bag of baby carrots. "What you do is pull here at the corners."
Tugging at the plastic, nothing happens. She pulls again and again. "You have to find just the right spot," she says through flushed cheeks. When she's about to give up the seal breaks, and a cluster of carrots are showered in a mixture of ranch-flavored dry spices. Mmmm. Tasty. "Only 25 calories!" she exclaims.
With just over a year under her belt running Campbell's, Morrison, 58, is determined to shake things up. Between August 2012 and August 2013 Campbell's will have launched more than 50 new products, including 32 new soups, up from only 3 in 2010 and 2011. She also surprised analysts with the $1.55 billion buyout of California juice-and-carrot seller Bolthouse Farms, the largest acquisition in the company's history.
She has little choice. With its iconic red-and-white packaging and reliable favorites like Tomato and Cream of Chicken, Campbell's soup held a special place on the American dinner table for the better part of the 20th century. But in the last few years its core soup business, which accounts for half the company's $7.7 billion in annual revenues, has faded to 46% market share from 51% in 2007, an ever smaller part of an ever smaller food category. An ill-advised move into low-sodium formulations under Morrison's predecessor, Doug Conant, accelerated the decline.
"They're the market leader but have been losing share to everyone," says Lynn Dornblaser of market research firm Mintel, primarily to main competitor General Mills General Mills, maker of Progresso soups. "The clock is ticking," says Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Canned soups traditionally do well in a down economy, he says, "yet somehow over the last decade they've managed to make the category so boring that people aren't buying it."
Morrison, who served as COO under Conant, knows they're in trouble. On her first day as CEO in August 2011 she began implementing a new vision for the company: Stabilize the soup and simple meals businesses, expand internationally, grow faster in healthy beverages and baked snacks–and add back the salt.
"Reducing sodium was the right thing to do," Morrison says. "It's just not the only thing we should have been doing. If we're really going to win, then we've got to be the most innovative food company."
A mother of two grown daughters, Morrison came to Campbell's from Kraft Foods in 2003. She knows demographics are working against the company: Campbell's sells well with the boomer generation but not with its kids.
Millennials, those ages 18 to 34, now constitute 25% of the U.S. population, or approximately 80 million people. "There are a lot of them," says Mark Alexander, president of Campbell's North America. "And they spend a lot of money."
Early on in her tenure Morrison dispatched Campbell's employees to hipster hubs, including Austin, Tex., Portland, Ore., London and Paris, to find out what all those potential customers wanted.
They learned Gen Y is globally connected, culturally diverse, college educated and underemployed. They are also the dine-out generation, routinely eating Mexican, Indian and Asian cuisines once considered exotic.
"They go through life hunting out and gathering different experiences," says Charles Vila, vice president of consumer insights. "They sample foods in the same way they sample jobs."
In August Campbell's launched Go Soups, a six-flavor line in plastic pouches meant to convey freshness while capturing millennials' adventurous tastes, restless spirits–and food-shopping dollars. Go Soups are premium-priced at $2.99 per pouch versus $1.09 for a can of soup.
So far the plan is working. Sales are up 8% in the latest quarter from the same period in 2011, but the soup marketing campaign–with a snazzy Tumblr-inspired website and a partnership with music download service Spotify–strikes some as deeply pandering. "The Greatest Generation stopped Hitler, the baby boomers stopped the Vietnam War," comedian Stephen Colbert riffed in mid-November. "This generation will go down in history for demanding different soup."
Of course, soup-in-a-bag for twentysomethings isn't Morrison's only plan. In the next decade 70% to 75% of global consumer growth will come from emerging markets, according to McKinsey, while only 3% of Campbell's business is there today. Morrison is building out existing businesses in Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico and Australia; ramping up exports to Europe, Asia and the Middle East; and growing a presence in China.
And with Bolthouse under the same roof, which already provides ingredients for Campbell's soups and V8 beverages, the company now has a new distribution path to the produce section, which is gaining ground as consumers seek more fresh packaged foods, a $12 billion category.
Still, says University of Michigan's Gordon, "they have to hit that millennial group or they'll be out of business in ten years. Not doing it would be horrendous. Will it turn around the company? No. But it keeps the lights on."
Morrison, who attended a February R&D meeting in a cheetah-print jacket, urging the team to pick up the pace, clearly knows the stakes. "This isn't just building a new house," she says. "It's putting in a foundation for the future." If there is a future, that is.

test test
There is a continent-size mat of plastic debris floating in the Pacific Ocean. These Millennial Woman Serving bags will make a nice accent to that emergent art form. With the convenience of pre-added water, at $2.99 it's a steal over the dreary, old-fashioned $1.09 cans. Long-term plastic decay should not affect the taste notably, either.
And the name "Go Soup", great branding. No way is anyone gonna make fun of that.
No soup for you! Come back one year.
Money Down The Drain, in layman's terms. An interesting sideline would be, how much for the liquidizer in stainless steel to blend all of the fresh ingredients that have been genetically modified and stored in a warehouse for the past two years. Or if a nut in your soup doesn't wet your appetite, how about the fixed pricing structure within free range downloadable applications that choke on the firmware. The advantages of having a Steak Dinner is that you could use all of the above as Dressings!
Keep the can, lose the BPA.
I love their soup but am concerned about health effects from BPA. I am probably not the only one.
Sure, it makes sense to make soup easier to consume as a 'fourth meal', especially on-the-go.
Special soups in Cans are over priced and way to much sugar in the Tomato. The bagged soups are different but certainly a long way from Homemade.
Instead make some good TV Dinners like they used to make but better than the Fifties. Most Frozen Dinners today are full of Carbs, Pastas, and such.
Campbell is in a Good position to really provide outstanding Foods.
I believe I'm in the age group discussed. What do I want?
0) Does it have to be a soup? (I prefer hot chocolate or a main course when on the run.)
1) No ugly metal cans: The cultural image of a homeless person holding a can is strong. Everywhere in the world.
2) Does it have to be soup? For example, in Europe has been an explosion of dried meals to be quick-cooked, just add water, oil and ingredients from the pack in the correct order. Some of those meals had so carefully prepared ingredients that the taste was so amazing… but others were not so good. This was nice during travel when no other options were available.
My advice:
1) Always, and I mean ALWAYS keep the taste and quality.
2) Also have products with more adequate price.
3) Learn from your opponents, eat their products. (Even if it means sampling several thousands of them! Just do it! That means several continents too.)
4) Dried products bring advantages to you, shops, customers.
5) Do a list of number 3 – you may even recognize a pattern or any undervalued company with superior products.
1B) Learn how to help the customers without providing fully cooked products.
That may mean: if there is a component of your meal the customer would like to have without cooking it by herself/himself, why not selling it as a standalone product? Product margins are lower, but you get the volume. This strategy already paid off: one company started selling the base for bechamel sauce (that is salted flour fried over lard or other fat) in pellets, and even experienced cooks started using it – it saves time! Other brands followed with their own.
How to use this? Find a product that can be used in everyday cooking, for example fried onion slices, or fried chopped onions; It is a great art to make them all evenly fried, but even greater art is drying them afterwards in a form so that they can be recovered again for cooking. Simply: make good cooking easily reproducible! Today, people want to spend time away from the kitchen, so anything that requires careful waiting while cooking is likely to get burned.
When you make a trial product, let someone cook, invite their unsuspecting friends and watch reaction, then ask. Do it with ALL your products.

Soon it will be that time again -- time to "fall back" in 2012.
The annual end to Daylight Saving Time comes early in November -- Sunday, November 4, to be exact. At 2 a.m. that day, time goes back an hour. So forewarned is forearmed.
That does not apply if you live in Arizona or Hawaii, which do not recognize Daylight Saving Time. Ditto for all of Asia, the world's most populous continent.
In Europe, the time fell back on Sunday, Oct. 28.
The attached screen grab shows which parts of the world (those colored red) do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
-- So we ask, do you like Daylight Saving Time? Or do you think time should remain the same year-round? Tell us in the comments below.

KDE 4 Too Late for Fedora 8
The next release of the Fedora Linux Distribution, version 8, will not use KDE 4 as its standard desktop environment. The reason for this is conflict between the two projects' schedules.
The release of the Red Hat-sponsored distribution envisages a final freeze for October 23, 2007, and Fedora 8 should be ready for downloading November 8. The KDE project is also looking to release version 4.0 of its desktop environment October 23, too late for the Fedora community.
Fedora developers have set up a Wiki that details KDE 4 integration. The page is not currently up to date. KDE 4 is planned for introduction with Fedora 9, which is due for release in May 2008.
Although Fedora 8 will be using a desktop environment from the KDE 3.x branch, KDE 4 update packages are likely to become available shortly after the release.
