---- — TRAVERSE CITY-- Daniel Jacques spent four years and lots of money restoring his dream car: a cream-colored 1963 Buick Riviera.
But when Jacques emerged from his home at Arbutus Hill and Brown Bridge roads Wednesday morning, he found his dream badly damaged.
Someone took a rounded object, possibly a bat or pipe, and smashed the vehicle's windows and body.
"They busted the driver's door glass out, the passenger and the back window of the car," Jacques said. "They smashed both fenders and the hood. They beat the heck out of the car. I have no idea why."
Jacques and the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Department want help to identify the culprit.
Authorities said the vandalism unfolded between Sunday night and Wednesday morning. Police don't have any suspects.
Jacques knows of no one who's mad at him or capable of damaging his car.
He said he will restore the vehicle again.
"It can be fixed," Jacques said. "Being a vintage car, it's a very expensive fix. It's not like taking your 2007 car to the body shop and getting it fixed. The parts for this car are almost impossible to find, and if you can find them, they are costly and it takes a lot of time and research to do it."
Anyone with information on the crime can call 231-995-5000 or Silent Observer at (231) 947-8477.
"I'm sick over this," Jacques said. "It's devastating. If someone knows who did it, I would beg of them, plead with them, to tell me who did it. I'm considering putting out a reward."

In February 2009, the case of American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, et al. v. Feld Entertainment, Inc. was heard in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The plaintiffs, four animal rights organizations and one former elephant handler for Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, brought a citizen suit against Feld Entertainment, Inc. (FEI), owner of Ringling Brothers, alleging that the Circus� use of bullhooks and leg tethers on its endangered Asian elephants constituted illegal �takings� under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). FEI argued that the plaintiffs did not have standing to bring suit, that the take provisions of the ESA do not apply to captive endangered species, and FEI�s actions did not constitute takings. This Article, written as the case went to trial, analyzes the standing, ESA, and take issues presented in this case and ultimately concludes that the district court should find that the plaintiffs do have standing, the ESA does apply to the captive Asian elephants, and FEI�s actions do constitute takings and should be enjoined.

The Indian Land Warriors lost more than the game Friday night at The Reservation, they also lost their cool. They were whistled for eight personal foul penalties in a game that got away from them, as they fell 36-0 to the Marvin Ridge Mavericks from across the border.
Warriors coach Mike Mayer did not see things the same as the officials.
We played as hard as we could play, Mayer said. We still had too many penalties but several things did not go our way that should have in my opinion.
Indian Land was penalized 15 times for 165 yards. The game was testy both ways as Marvin Ridge was also whistled for three personal fouls.
The Warriors took the opening possession and drove inside the Mavericks 30 and held the ball for half of the opening quarter. However, an interception at the 20-yard line on fourth down killed the drive. Indian Land forced Marvin Ridge to turn the ball over on downs on their first possession and got through the first quarter in a scoreless game.
The Mavericks scored 16 points before the half to put the Warriors in too deep of a hole.
Indian Lands best chance to score came early in the third quarter George Morris pass to Terrell White on 4th-and-7 from the Mavericks 22 came up one yard shy with 8:28 left in the 3rd.
Morris was 13-for-19 for 169 yards. Chris Barnes caught six balls for 91 yards for Indian Land.

The bananaquit (Coereba flaveola) is a species of passerine bird of uncertain relation. It is tentatively placed in the tanager family, but classified as incertae sedis by other authorities such as the American Ornithologists' Union. Its classification is debated, and it is often placed in its own family: Coerebidae. It has recently been suggested the bananaquit should be split into three species, but this has yet to receive widespread recognition. This small, active nectarivore is found in warmer parts of the Americas, and is generally common.
The bananaquit was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1758 as Certhia flaveola.[2] It was reclassified as the only member of the genus Coereba by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1809.[3] Prior to 2005 the bananaquit was assigned to the monotypic family Coerebidae; there is currently no agreement to which family it belongs; some authors place it into the Emberizidae.[4] Since recent studies have shed some light on the bananaquit's affinities, many authorities consider Coerebidae an obsolete taxon. The Coerebidae used to contain other nectar-eating birds from the tropical Americas, but these have since been moved. The bananaquit is part of a group that includes Darwin's finches, Tiaris (grassquits), Loxigilla, etc.—most of which were previously placed in Emberizidae, but are now known to actually be part of the Thraupidae.[5] As such this species is tentatively placed in the Thraupidae family unless a study suggests more accurate placement. Nevertheless, its precise relations remain unresolved, so the American Ornithologists' Union classes it as a species incertae sedis.[6]
It is still unclear if any of the island subspecies should be elevated to species, but phylogenetic studies have revealed three clades: the nominate group from Jamaica, Hispaniola and the Cayman Islands, the bahamensis group from the Bahamas and Quintana Roo, and the bartholemica group from South and Central America, Mexico (except Quintana Roo), the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico.[7][8] Several taxa were not sampled,[7][8] but most of these are easily placed in the above groups based on zoogeography alone. Exceptions are oblita (San Andrés Island) and tricolor (Providencia Island), and their placement is therefore uncertain. In February 2010, the International Ornithological Congress listed bahamensis and bartholemica as proposed splits from C. flaveola.[9]

The bananaquit is a small bird, although there is some degree of size variation across the various subspecies. Length can range from 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm).[10][11] Weight ranges from 5.5 to 19 grams (0.19 to 0.67 oz).[12][13]
Most subspecies of the bananaquit have dark grey (almost black) upperparts, black crown and sides of the head, a prominent white eyestripe, grey throat, white vent, and yellow chest, belly and rump.
The sexes are alike, but juveniles are duller and often have a partially yellow eyebrow and throat.
In the subspecies bahamensis and caboti from the Bahamas and Cozumel, respectively, the throat and upper chest are white or very pale grey,[14][15] while ferryi from La Tortuga Island has a white forehead.[16] The subspecies laurae, lowii and melanornis from small islands off northern Venezuela are overall blackish,[16] while the subspecies aterrima and atrata from Grenada and Saint Vincent have two plumage morphs, one "normal" and another blackish.[14] The pink gape is usually very prominent in the subspecies from islands in the Caribbean Sea.
The bananaquit has a slender, curved bill, adapted to taking nectar from flowers. It sometimes pierces flowers from the side, taking the nectar without pollinating the plant.[17] It also feeds on sweet juices by puncturing fruit with its beak, and will eat small insects on occasion. While feeding, the bananaquit must always perch as it cannot hover like a hummingbird.[18]
The bananaquit is known for its ability to adjust remarkably to human environments. It often visits gardens and may become very tame. Its nickname, the sugar bird, comes from its affinity for bowls or bird feeders stocked with granular sugar, a common method of attracting these birds.[18] The bananaquit builds a spherical lined nest with a side entrance hole, laying up to three eggs, which are incubated solely by the female.[4] It may also build its nest in man-made objects, such as lampshades and garden trellises. The birds breed all year regardless of season and build new nests throughout the year.[18]
It is resident in tropical South America north to southern Mexico and the Caribbean. It is found throughout the West Indies, except Cuba.[14] Birds from the Bahamas are rare visitors to Florida.[17] It is particularly prevalent on Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao and also the most popular species of bird on the islands.[18]
It occurs in a wide range of open to semi-open habitats, including gardens and parks, but it is rare or absent in deserts, dense forests (e.g. large parts of the Amazon rainforest) and at altitudes above 2,000 metres (6,600 ft).[16]

Awkward moments...
|#1 Subject: Awkward moments... Posted: 03/25/2009 10:06:03
Well last weekend I went to a party with some of my buddies. It was a good time, drinks, drinking games etc. Well anyway I saw one of my old friends I hadn't seen in a while and walked up to him to say Hi. They were talking about a girl from highschool that I knew, so I jumped in by saying "Oh yeah I know Shannon I slept with her once."(I hadn't I just thought I'd see how the conversation turned) I than found out that my old buddy Jim was engaged to her... Yeah...
What was one of your most awkward moments?

That's pretty bad, man.
I remember me and two buddies spent the whole day trippin' balls and gettin' fucked up, but my buddy Aaron kept getting calls from his girl all day 'cause she doesn't like him goin' out and havin' fun without her. She was determined to pussy whip him back home. He finally wussed out, right when we all started tripping hard, and went to go meet her because she was threatening to break into his house... it came time for last call so we walked down the block to his house past the police station which was across the from the bar.
I think I was mad 'cause he was complaining about her all week, and I called in to work so we could kick it. The whole way down the alley I'm saying "Man, Aaron is such a pussy, and his girlfriend is a psycho... I say we go kick his door in and tell that bitch to get out" both of us laughing and cackling hysterically. As soon as I finished the sentence I realized we were walking past them in the yard, and they were standing there in a loving embrace like they had just made up.
Luckily I was high out of my mind, so I didn't feel bad. I just kept laughing and said "man, I am such an asshole." My other friend agreed, also laughing, and we went inside to watch Cartoon Network and listen to War Pigs.
She did turn out to be a psycho later on down the line, so it was all good.

My most ackward moment lasted for like, fucking months. Broke up with my girlfriend, only neither of us really had the opportunity to find a new place. So we just...shared a room still.
It got really bad when she started dating someone else.

In response to: Dub_Z
Hahaha. That reminds me of another time when I was like sixteen. I went out with some of my buddies and got way fuckin high. When I got home I decided to make a peanut butter and dots sandwhich (it seemed like a good idea...) I started walking to my room and tripped on a rug. My mom asked if I had been drinking and I said "No, just smoking weed." The awkward feeling didn't arrive till the next morning and I saw her...

|#8 Subject: Re:Awkward moments... Posted: 03/26/2009 10:00:51
It was pretty fucking horrible dude. I mean, I've broken up since then, and I don't think I'll ever ever have a problem with a relationship ending again as long as I'm not living with the person.
I'm never fucking living with a chick I'm dating again.
|#9 Subject: Awkward moments... Posted: 03/26/2009 10:15:40
I suppose I went through practially the same thing. At least She wasn't home much and neither was I. Luckily it was my place and we pretty much both agreed it was time for her to get the fuck out after less than a month.
That was funny because we actually started dating again a couple years later. She asked me to move in after about 1 month and I just laughed and laughed.
But yeah if you're in a serious relationship for long enough it's going to come up sooner or later. Don't be like me and start laughing uncontrollably. Shit doesn't go over well.
|#10 Subject: Re:Awkward moments... Posted: 03/26/2009 10:30:37
Parents fighting in front of me usual. Unusual; my mom says to my dad; "We never have sex anymore!"
Followed by five minutes of silence. Argument over. Just awkward...all around.

as im doing that my boss from work pulls up and gives me a weird look. she's like "what the hell are you doing?" im looking like a jack ass hanging out of the car with a phone... "oh hi, that guy up there has a bird in his car window just thought it was weird".... akward moment. then it gets worse she says "im on my way back from a funeral." then something like "i have all these drinks and snacks in the back of my car". (at work she opens a store on break and sells food and shit to workers) so i say "oh for the store at work huh?"
she says "um no for the funeral." *dead silence akward moment with boss*.

oh and here's the pic of the bird, it's hard to make out but it has a black cowboy hat on.

i thought seeing a guy driving around with parrorts in his car who have cowboy hats on was pretty weird even for me. thats why i had to get the picture.

I was in that exact situation for five months. Worst time of my life.

Jesus. I have trouble simply bringing up cleaning with my friend and roomate, i cant even imagine living with an ex.

You know, it was quite amiable and I think I sort of went into denial about us being broken up for awhile. Which is why it came as such a blow when she started dating someone else. And then every time she wasn't home I'd of course wonder where she was, and it was driving me fucking crazy.
We got back together, and broke up (again) recently. It just doesn't work between us. I'm okay with that. We're not living together, thank god. Plus I'm dating this cute japanese chick Junko.
|#17 Subject: Re:Awkward moments... Posted: 03/26/2009 13:12:58
Yeah, my ex is my closest friend now, and has been for a few years.
Weird how that works out.
|#18 Subject: Awkward moments... Posted: 03/26/2009 13:50:53
I've had a situation similar to that, Tommy. I wasn't really attached, but it was still awkward and made life seem completely surreal for the duration. Even without the emotion, it still drove me into a self destructive lifestyle to compensate, and made everything feel like a competition. "you can fuck? well I can fuck more" "you can party? you ain't seen nothin" etc
It's surprising that a bunch of us have dealt with this.
|#19 Subject: Re:Awkward moments... Posted: 03/26/2009 13:53:02
Heh, Junko.

Actually I'm not sure if it's spelled Junko or Junco. Umm, I've honestly seen her spell it both ways. She's smart though, I promise.

National Mall largely unaffected by Sandy
Tuesday - 10/30/2012, 4:10pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Park Service says its low-lying monuments and memorials along the National Mall came through superstorm Sandy largely unscathed.
Spokeswoman Carol Johnson says there's a slight possibility that the World War II Memorial could have some minor flooding, but it's designed to withstand it and would not be damaged.
The Potomac River has been forecast to crest at around 9 feet early Thursday morning in Georgetown. Johnson says the Mall's flood-protection system can protect it from crests of 17 feet or higher.
Johnson says there was some minor flooding on Hains Point, the tip of a manmade island that includes a park and a golf course. The park was closed Tuesday.

Daniel Fisher, Forbes Staff
I cover finance, the law, and how the two interact.
A man who, by FORBES' careful measure, is one of the 50 most powerful people in the world, one of the 20 wealthiest–and one of the dozen most vilified–is perpetually in a position to reflect. But given it's Charles Koch's 77th birthday, the calendar demands it. Especially with the presidential election that Charles has called "the mother of all wars" less than a week away, and with Koch Industries, the firm he has built into the second-largest private company in America, considering several more big acquisitions, including an 18,000-employee automotive glassmaker, Guardian Industries.
Yet despite all these momentous events swirling around his wood-paneled Wichita office, decorated with seascapes and looking out on to the prairie to the north, the legacy he wishes to initially address comes via a piece of paper with a color photograph of his first grandson. The baby's name: Charles. "My proudest accomplishment," he smiles.
Given that he and his brother have been called "pigs" (by MSNBC host Chris Matthews) and protesters have unfurled "Koch Kills" banners at rallies, Charles clearly wants to use this rare interview to humanize himself, attaching some personal substance to his courtly Midwest manner. Yet this grandfatherly presence, framed by an unbuttoned collared shirt and a toothy grin, is at odds with the business and political juggernaut that he and his younger brother David have built in a systematic process befitting their MIT training.
Charles' many critics on the left–including the President of the United States–accuse him of accumulating too much power and using it to promote his own economic interests through a network of secretive organizations they call the "Kochtopus." Ironically, the Koch brothers believe they're fighting against power, at least in the political realm. For the Kochs the real power is central government, which can tax entire industries into oblivion, force a citizen to buy health insurance and bring mighty corporations like Koch Industries to heel.
"Most power is power to coerce somebody," says Charles, in a voice that sounds like Jimmy Stewart with a Kansas twang. "We don't have the power to coerce anybody."
The November elections–which David, in a separate interview shortly after the results were finalized, termed "bitterly disappointing"–seem to confirm Charles' last point. Not even the Koch brothers, who spent tens of millions of dollars during this election cycle (they won't disclose the exact amount) funding direct political contributions and issue-driven "nonprofits," could coerce voters to back their candidates. Mitt Romney's loss was a huge blow to them, both in terms of likely policy outcomes and personal reputation.
But those who think the brothers, older and chastened, will now fade away don't understand the Kochs. Not a bit. Obama's victory was just a blip on a master plan measured in decades, not election cycles. "We raised a lot of money and mobilized an awful lot of people, and we lost, plain and simple," says David. "We're going to study what worked, what didn't work, and improve our efforts in the future. We're not going to roll over and play dead."
In Pictures: The World's Most Powerful People
The goal has always been, Charles says, "true democracy," where people "can run their own lives and choose what they want to buy, choose how to spend their money." ("Now in our democracy you elect somebody every two to four years and they tell you how to run your life," he says.) Both Kochs innately understand that–unlike the populist appeal of their fellow midwestern billionaire Warren Buffett and his tax-the-rich advocacy–their message of pure, raw capitalism is a much tougher sell, even among capitalists.
So their revolution has been an evolution, with roots going back half a century to Koch's first contributions to libertarian causes and Republican candidates. In the mid-1970s their business of changing minds got more formal when Charles cofounded what became the Cato Institute, the first major libertarian think tank. Based in Washington, it has 120 employees devoted to promoting property rights, educational choice and economic freedom. In 1978 the brothers helped found–and still fund–George Mason University's Mercatus Center, the go-to academy for deregulation; they have funded the Federalist Society, which shapes conservative judicial thinking; the pro-market Heritage Foundation; a California-based center skeptical of human-driven climate change; and many other institutions.
All of these organizations, unknown to 99% of the population, and their common source of support, unknown to most of the rest, have provided the grist for conservative thinking since Reagan. It's a measure of Koch's success that 40 years after Richard Nixon was stumping for national health insurance, Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand-tinged economics are just a little right of center. That the Supreme Court's conservative majority led by Chief Justice John Roberts has issued a number of pro-property rights, anti-government decisions in recent years that read like they came straight out of a Federalist Society position paper. That when George W. Bush sought a watchdog on regulation costs, he appointed a top Mercatus executive. And none of this was accidental–it just took millions of dollars over decades of time. You can see the same process at work in David's quest to find a cure for cancer. A prostate cancer survivor like the rest of his brothers, he has given $215 million to fight the disease so far, including $100 million to fund his own research center at MIT.
Good piece, Daniel…and who knew that Forbes was a part of the 'leftist media'!
I do have to point out, however, that an early paragraph totally gives away the problem with the Koch philosophy and belief structure.
"Most power is power to coerce somebody," says Charles, in a voice that sounds like Jimmy Stewart with a Kansas twang. "We don't have the power to coerce anybody."
How does Charles Koch not recognize that gaining control over elected officials via huge money contributions is very much the power to coerce? This is the 'blind' that exposes the failure in the logic. Mr. Koch is very much about coercing the very government he so strenuously objects to for the purpose of supporting his company's business interests. What's more, when his companies are free to pollute the environment in the manner he would prefer, he is 'coercing' a great many people into an earlier grave.
The Koch Brothers have every legal right to spend their money in support of anyone and anything they wish. However, to pretend that their motives are somehow selfless defy credibility.
Daniel, how is this any different then an aerospace company lobbying and making contributions to gain business. Channeling taxpayer money into campaigns to support more business. Or in the Koch's case using money from tax savings they have supported to support political causes. Its all coercive and to pretend it isnt is specious
Daniel, thank you for participating in the comments. Having authors actively participate in the comment discussion for an article seems to be the norm for Forbes, and I really like it. With print, there is no such mechanism, and in most online pubs or blogs, the authors don't respond and the comments eventually devolve into name calling. This approach of having the author clarify and respond is great and is a good use of the Web. Thank you for the effort, hopefully, we can acknowledge the value regardless of someone's personal opinion on the Koch brothers.
Excellent point. Feed back from a knowledgable and intelligent author. Thanks Daniel for your efforts!
Maybe that is why the New York Times is in serious trouble. They do not get any feedback from the public and therefore do not know what is really going on in our country.
This is a powerful tool of the internet. It is Inter Active!
That is one of the most impenetrable first paragraphs I've read in a long time.
I doubt that Roger.
I'd say there's also the question of to what degree the Kochs can be considered scientific. On the one hand, they came from MIT, use rational means in their daily existence, and continue to support scientific research. On the other, they support bogus research designed to, for example, prove that humans have no effect on climate or that it doesn't matter, and hang out with religious fundamentalists who believe the earth began 6,000 years ago. How do you reconcile that?

I really needed this for the thick nasties that I rid in. It's a fair value for what you get. I upgraded to fuel injection rated clamps before I installed mine instead of using the standard worm drive clamps that were included. Installation was super easy. New low profile is fantastic.Read All Reviews

Had problems with the petcock leaking. This solved the issue.Read All Reviews
I was a bit skeptical on buying this tank after reading reviews on the fit, but if you know how to install it the fit is perfect. Once the tank was in place I started the rear bolt then started the front bolt and after they were both started just tighten them down. If you tighten one before starting the other then it changes the angle to where it seems the fit is off by a mile, but it is just the compressing of the rubber grommets. I also bought a stock 04 fuel petcock to go with this tank instead of installing the stock one backwards. The 04 outlet is to the right so that the valve can face out. This way I can swap this tank for the stock tank rather quickly if I need or want to. The tank is wider but it doesn't feel bulky or awkward to me. The added fuel weight doesn't seem to affect the bike that much either.Read All Reviews

Great choice - was looking for a pasta serving bowl and individual place setting and this one is perfect. Nice size and such an attractive addition to the dining table! Love it!
Very pleased w/ this product & for the price it's an excellent deal!
I use these bowls every day for salad or soup or serving. They are bright and cheerful and work beautifully with my assorted Fiestaware colors. They hold up well to the dishwasher. I love the variety and interest of the four different colors, and their substantial size is perfect for the salad entrees that we have almost daily. I ordered another set of four shortly after receiving the first set, because I knew I'd be using these suckers all the time. Exactly what I was looking/hoping for.
A perfectly adequate serving dish. Colorful and attractive as in the photo. Note the dimensions -- it's quite large. It was a tad lighter than I expected but seems to be nice and solid.
This bowl is festive and a perfect accent to any Fiestaware or similar table setting. The quality was good for the price. I had been looking in stores and the same pasta bowl was running about $10-$15 more. It's a good buy.

Vacuum Suspension: Effects on Tissue Oxygenation, Activity and Fit

- How to Read a Study Record
The fit of the residual limb within a prosthetic socket is a primary concern for many amputees. A poor fit can lead to skin irritation, tissue breakdown, and pain. Further, amputees with diabetes or vascular dysfunction often have difficulty maintaining healthy residual limb tissue; a condition that could be mitigated by the application of negative pressure (i.e., vacuum suspension). The aim of this research is to characterize the residual limb response to a vacuum suspension system and to measure prosthetic performance in comparison to a typical suction suspension system.
The proposed research plan involves two sets of human subject experiments: (1) prospective, randomized cross-over study to quantify performance of a vacuum suspension system as compared to a total surface bearing suction socket in terms of pistoning, maintaining limb volume, step counts, and subjective measures of fit and (2) measurement of transcutaneous oxygen tension as a function of vacuum pressure.

Detailed Description:
A proper fitting prosthetic socket provides the amputee with a comfortable system allowing them to pursue many of their desired vocational and recreational goals. Unfortunately, many amputees live with an ill-fitting socket and can experience limb pistoning within the socket, which in turn may result in skin irritation, tissue breakdown, discomfort, and a reduction in activity. One of the key factors affecting fit is intraday residual limb volume changes. For an amputee with dysvascular conditions, the implications of a poor fitting socket are exacerbated by poor circulation, reduced healing potential and the compressive forces exerted by their prosthesis.
Vacuum suspension systems may have the potential to alleviate these conditions for healthy and dysvascular amputees. The purported benefits of vacuum suspension systems include, but are not limited to: improved suspension (reduction in the amount of pistoning), maintenance of limb volume throughout the day, and increased tissue oxygenation to the residual limb.
Our first objective is to characterize performance, as related to socket fit, of a vacuum suspension system using objective and subjective measures. We will do this by conducting a within-subject experiment to measure pistoning in three dimensions while walking, overall and regional changes in limb volume before and after a thirty-minute treadmill walk, mobility (step counts) and the perception of socket fit (questionnaire) as a function of prosthetic prescription (vacuum suspension system vs. total surface bearing suction socket).
Our second objective is to determine the effect of pressures within a prosthetic socket on residual limb transcutaneous oxygen tension (tcpO2) levels. We will conduct laboratory-based, in situ testing to determine how the transcutaneous oxygen tension levels, at six sites on the residual limb, respond to pressures simulating those within a vacuum suspension system and a total surface bearing suction socket.
The proposed research will allow us to understand how suspension systems influence prosthetic socket fit and residual limb tissue health and to formulate a knowledge base on two suspension systems providing prosthetists and clinicians the objective data to make better prescription decisions. In addition, the methods utilized in this study (e.g., a residual limb limb volume scanner and assessing dynamic pistoning) can be used to study current and novel suspension systems, liners, and prosthetic socket designs to provide a standard for comparison.

I've many random thoughts
Giving 2 events each skater/couple, the GP opens to new skaters, of that I'm happy !
Weir I bet he is so happy to skate in Moscow ! Nice to see him back.
I see so many Russian and Canadian dance team, I'm impressed.
I'm happy Guignard-Fabbri have the possibility to skate in a GP event !!
I have a question, why do you think Sk Canada choose GIlles_Poirier instead of Weaver _Poje ?
It's just a question I know anything about canada's teams and politics.
txs to anyone who want to asnwer.
I'm glad that Zlobina/Sitnikov, Shelpen and Regan/Yankowskas all got assignments.
And damn, but I'd like to go to SA now to see V/T and Donlan/Spieroff. Alas, there's no way I can manage right in the middle of the fall term.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Canada Ladies
Two: None
One: Lacoste(Canada), Osmond (Canada) & TBA (Canada)
Canada Men
Two: Chan (Canada/Russia), Reynolds(China/Japan)
One: Firus (Canada), Rogozine(Japan), TBA(Canada)
Ice Dance
Two: Weaver/Poje(US/China), Gilles/Poirier(Canada/France), Virtue/Moir(Canada/Russia)
One: Ralph/Hill(Canada), Orford/Williams(Japan)
Two: Dube/Wolfe(USA/Russia), Duhamel/Radford(Canada/France), Paige/Lawrence(Canada/Russia),Moore-Towers/Moscovitch (China/Japan)
I'm very glad Osmond is moving senior, this is the right call. And Phenuef got nothing - I hope Skate Canada will have a skate off for the TBA.
I don't remember the last time, if ever, Canadian ladies didn't get other grand prixs besides Skate Canada. We don't deserve them, clearly, but wow....
I think they are sending a message to Phaneuf.
Is Phaneuf retiring or is Skate Canada (the organization) just making her work for it? That TBA in the ladies strikes me as odd.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
I'm really excited to see Jeremy get TEB - I spoke with him last year there and he said he always asks for it and never gets it, so I'm glad it finally paid off for him!
I understand why the federations involved would want it, but the 2nd and 3rd seeds in the Men being at NHK and 4th and 5th being at TEB is a bit confusing - I thought the ISU rules about seeding would override the preferences of individual federations. And selfishly, I wanted to see Dai in Paris!
Russia Pairs
Two: Volosozhar/Trankov(US/Russia), Kavaguti/Smirnov(China/France), Stolbova/Klimov(China/France), Bazarova/Larionov(Russia/Japan)

So many interesting entries. Even more exciting than ever
Does anyone have any idea what happened to Evan? After he changed the agent, I thought things were going well with USFSA.
US Ladies: One event: Christina Gao and Rachael Flatt
I can't say that the comment made somehwere above about Nagasu and Czisny each receiving one SGP is "getting dumped". When the SGP format went down to 10 slots/event, it just made getting assignments that much more difficult. Just not enough slots to go around quite frankly. If they are both serious about continuing to compete, I suspect that USFS will find Sr B's to send them to, esp Nagasu, so that she won't have to compete at either regionals or sectionals. Czisny can stay home all autumn and "recover" and just go out and do one event if that is all she wants to do as she will have a bye to Omaha. And, I suspect that is why Czisny rec'd Japan, the last SGP event. USFS still likes her IMO, and they are going to give her time to figure out her life.
I'm really surprised that Josh Farris and Jason Brown are staying on the JGP. Not sure what the strategy for those decisions. Is this the 3rd yr for each of them on the JGP?
Hmmmm...no Evan.... not surprised by that.
And Johnny....getting 2 events.....USFS and their love/hate relationship with him....but they still will politic for him to get him to events because he still sells tickets.
Alittle suprised by new pair teams getting assignments....and unproven at this point (Y/R and D/L)
For US Pairs Castelli and Schnapir and Vise Baldwin also have one event
How the hell did Nazarova/Nikitin manage to get a GP assigment?
Seeing only 8 spots in Pairs and especially Ice Dance is so .
So many decent teams denied spots.

Accenture And Oracle Jointly Develop Tech Solutions for Social Service Agencies
by Kenneth Guillame, Big4.com Staff Reporter
February 20th, 2010
Kenneth Guillame, Big4.com Staff Reporter
Accenture has joined hands with Oracle and agreed to develop integrated software packages social service agencies across the globe for affordable technology solutions to handle increasing workloads while providing enhanced technology solutions. These programs will also focus on supporting outcome-focused program delivery.
David McCurley, Accenture's global managing director for human services said, "Public agencies are looking for technology solutions that can lower costs while increasing their ability to handle rising workloads to deliver better and more effective services for the citizens they serve. We are working with Oracle to address the rapidly rising public agency interest in commercial-off-the-shelf solutions as an alternative to more expensive custom-built software.
This collaboration has resulted in our development agreement and the introduction of a new solution for child welfare case management."
The Accenture Case Management Solution for Child Welfare on Oracle is a new, structured 'case management solution' which is specially designed to meet the specific requirements of hild welfare agencies. This solution was designed on the model of Oracle's Siebel CRM Public Sector Case Management commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product and combined with Accenture's huge experience developing child welfare solutions.
It will help in providing a layout and structure for the upcoming child welfare services which will be similar to Accenture Public Service Platform. Both companies will work with the Oracle® Application Integration Architecture (AIA) to pre-build Process Integration Packs so that they can deliver more effective and efficient technology solutions for social services.
Kevin Curry, Application Sales Group vice president, Oracle Public Sector, said "Accenture is a global leader in the Social Services industry and we are extremely pleased to present a collaboration that is expected to bring next generation solutions that enable innovation, best practices, and proven software capabilities to the social services market. What we can deliver with our collective social services experience can raise the bar for transformed service delivery across child welfare organizations and other social services agencies that no longer appreciate the costly maintenance and difficult upgrade paths of custom built solutions."
Accenture and Oracle have collaborated together for the last 20 years. Accenture is an Oracle Platinum Partner and has one of the largest Oracle enterprise solutions practices among full-service integrators. More than 44,495 Oracle-skilled professionals have been working and over 4,900 Oracle projects are completed or are underway. Accenture is a leading and recognized Oracle partner which was seen at the 2009 Titan Awards and partner of the year awards across the globe.
Oracle plans to develop a Social Services Foundation Pack and Accenture plans to develop Oracle Application Integration Architecture Process Integration Packs to address disbursement and collections requirements. The project is expected to integrate Oracle's Siebel Case Management with Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials systems for disbursements and embed Oracle Policy Automation for policy-based determination of eligibility.

Council Services
Mary Brennan, as the Director of Council Services/Clerk, is responsible for the legislated duties of the Clerk that focus upon serving as the secretariat and official communicator for Council. As well as those statutory duties listed in Section 228 of the Municipal Act, 2001, the duties of the Director of Council Services/Clerk, include Acting as a Commissioner of Oaths for the swearing of Affidavits for internal and external documents; assisting the Chief Administrative Officer, County Council, and Committees of Council by providing policy advice, investigating issues, researching material, compiling data, and preparing reports as required; overseeing the provision of administrative support provided to Council members including co-ordination of convention and travel arrangements, maintaining attendance and mileage records, and preparation of Council payment vouchers; and overseeing the planning and organization of Council activities including receptions and banquets hosted by the Warden and County Council.
The constant change within the jurisdiction of local government has, however, caused an evolution in the responsibilities of the Clerk beyond conventional duties and responsibilities. The office of the Municipal Clerk has emerged to become more broadly responsible for ensuring an "open and public" local government, becoming the primary link between Council, and interested and/or affected ratepayers and stakeholders.

I don't much care about Tramennis's personal attack, I care far more about his tactical acumen and his bonus. He's not a diplomat by his own choice, we've learned. Slately picked him for that job because of his brains. He's proven that... even if it does get tiring to always be right.
Tram's Attack is incredibly important here, since this fight is going to boil down to his max stack vs. two max stacks of high-level heavies led by Ford and Twenty. This isn't Exalted; his massive infantry force doesn't give him an armor bonus or anything, in fact he himself has no bonuses at all.
I'd say that Ford's tactic is to not care about his troops surviving and attacking units that would pose a threat to Wanda.
And the only unit that fits that description is Tramennis, unless you're indicating they'd throw away their whole element of surprise on the handful of low-level warlords leading his massed infantry.

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
BEWARE - RUNS NOT ONLY 'SMALL' BUT TEENY!!!Doing a hot tri soon. I didn't want to fry in the sun. Did some research and really really wanted the L/S shirt vs sleeve coolers or just sunscreen alone. Was very excited about the 3 pockets down the spine, one reviewer says to have aid station workers put ice in the top pocket! Sounded great.HOWEVER - This top is SO DARNED small I laughed out loud when I opened the package. I'm female, typically wear a M in most everything (top 34-36B), with the occasional L in some items. I ordered a L b/c I wanted to be sure I could get it on when wet and didn't want it to be overly tight. On a hanger this item appears as a SM or XS sizing. Ridiculously small. It's going back and I honestly question de soto's sizing practices and, therefore, any future de soto purchases on my part. Can't review the performance b/c the fit was such a problem. FYI - de soto says (on their website) I'm an XL (unfortunately I checked after my purchase) - Swim Outlet doesn't even carry the XL if I had the time to exchange before my event - which I don't.Swim Outlet as usual had quick delivery and good pricing. Unfortunately for them, they carry de soto. Bought some Zoot items at the same time. All fit as expected. Bought a M top. Fits fine. So what is de soto thinking? Hopefully their Men's sizing is more realistic. Really turned me off to the de soto brand in general.I gave it 2 stars only b/c the item fabrication seemed as represented.
I bought Medium and Small for this product. The small I thought maybe it was a bit too small as it is really snug but the medium was definitely big! I kept the small and just used it yesterday to go out cycling and I LOVED IT! it''s truly fresh. It is tight yes, so you better have a good body to show off otherwise, get away from this product. I love the fabric and I already have the wings from the same brand so I know in time it will loosen up a little bit and it will be more comfortable. I''m 5.6, 116lbs (tall and thin), chest 34, waist 26.
Get an alert when we add new styles of DeSoto! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
The founders of DeSoto are Emilio De Soto and Dan Neyenhuis. Emilio De Soto is a triathlete who is racing in his 27th consecutive season of triathlon competition. He is also fully immersed in his athletic lifestyle as a fitness trainer and coach. Dan Neyenhuis is an age-grouper triathlete who has been helicopter skiing for 20 years. Together, they created a company that designs cutting edge triathlon gear for triathletes, by triathletes.
DeSoto gear is designed to enhance performance in each leg of the race. The founders created the first mesh running cap, zippered tri tops, pocketed tri shorts, transition packs, tri suits, and tri shorts with discreet pads for cycling.
One of their other achievements was creating the DeSoto T1 triathlon wetsuit that is two pieces instead of one. The DeSoto T1 triathlon wetsuit was designed to make a better fit for triathletes, and each year, more DeSoto tri tops and DeSoto tri shorts are being added to the line. DeSoto is still the only company in the world that makes a two-piece triathlon wetsuit.

Since the first paleontological expedition to Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History in the 1920s, the allure of discovering exotic Asian dinosaurs has been the dream of every paleontologist. Since then, dinosaurs from China have been unearthed, revealing their relationships to birds as evidenced by the presence of feathers alongside their scales.
Several of most spectacular of these dinosaurs are coming to the Bruce Museum beginning January 26, 2013.
Chinasaurs: Dinosaur Discoveries from China welcomes visitors to walk among the skeletons, skulls, nests and eggs of more than a dozen of these rare Asian dinosaurs.
From the huge 30-foot long, meat-eating Yangchuanosaurus to the gazelle-sized plant eaters such as Psittacosaurus, the prehistoric fossils of the Far East provide an exciting experience for dinosaur enthusiasts.
Chinasaurs offers a glimpse of the unprecedented evolution of dinosaurs and their dominance over the world for more than 155 million years.

A 16-year-old charter school student says he was roughed up by police so bad it sent him to the hospital with injuries that could last a lifetime.
We want to warn you some of the details of this story are graphic.
Darrin Manning is still having trouble walking a week later. He suffered a serious injuries to his genitals. He claims his injuries came at the hands of a Philadelphia police officer during a recent arrest.
"I think that was wrong, it was going overboard," Manning said.
Manning, a sophomore at Mathematics, Civics and Charter School, had just got off the subway with a dozen teammates in uniform on their way to play a high school basketball game.
He says the group was confronted by police at Broad Street and Girard Avenue. Exactly why the students were stopped and questioned remains unclear, but Manning says he was put in handcuffs. He then says during a pat down a female officer squeezed his genitals so hard-it ruptured his testicle.
"She patted me down again, and then I felt her reach, and she grabbed my butt. And then she grabbed and squeezed again and pulled down. And that's when I heard something pop, like I felt it pop," Manning said
Hospital records show Manning spent night following his arrest at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where he underwent emergency surgery.
"I'm just grateful that they didn't just kill him," said the boy's, mother, Ikea Coney.
She says her son may have permanent injuries preventing him from fathering children.
"The doctor told me, 'You need to press charges,' and that just alarmed me," Coney said.
Manning is now facing charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest.
"He don't deserve no felony. He's not a bad child. He's not in the streets," Coney said.
"I believe he was sexually assaulted," said Veronica Joyner, founder of the Mathematics, Civics and Charter School.
Joyner says she was with Manning 10 minutes before the incident. She says this straight-A model student hasn't had a single discipline problem in his three-year history at the school.
"They shouldn't be able to do that to any child. But this is a 16-year-old, and that force that was used in his private area, it's sort of is concerning to me," Coney said.
Police in the 22nd District tell FOX 29 News they are looking into this, and a possible internal investigation but be launched in the next few days.
But police also tell us that during the eight hours the boy was in custody he never complained of or reported any injuries.
Wednesday (83/62): Sun/Clouds
Refreshing Forecast
Wednesday will feature another comfortable day with below average temperatures and low humidity. Highs in the upper 70s/Low 80s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds.

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a treatment modality which is being broadly applied to a growing number of disorders. Increasing success with BMT is offering improved survival to pediatric and adult patients with acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, lymphomas, and a variety of solid tumors as well as severe aplastic anemia. In the pediatric population, a variety of congenital disorders such as immunodeficiency syndromes, bone marrow failure states, hemoglobinopathies and inborn errors of metabolism can also be successfully treated with BMT. Identification of appropriate marrow donors (within or outside of the family) and the increasing use of autologous stem cells with or without purging have made this treatment approach available to more and more patients. Future studies will concentrate on control and prevention of graft-versus-host disease, ablation of malignant cells, and gene-transfer utilizing marrow stem cells as the vector.
T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and advanced stage Lymphoblastic Lymphoma are rare malignancies which affect pre-teen and teen-aged children with a male preponderance. These entities are closely related biologically, and probably represent different ends of a spectrum of T-cell malignancies. Treatment approaches taking advantage of the biological similarities of these entities have been successful in improving survival for affected children. Further studies of innovative approaches (immunotoxins, monoclonal antibody targeting, tumor antigen vaccination) as well as randomized clinical trials defining better chemotherapeutic regimens are ongoing. All patients entered in these protocols for treatment also participate in biologic studies utilizing molecular markers of minimal residual disease and classification studies at diagnosis and relapse including complete immunophenotyping and cytogenetics as well as classical morphology and histochemistry.

In no way does the hip injury suffered by new OG Mackenzy Bernadeau remove him from consideration as a starter, but it does open up competition at the position. Bernadeau, who spent four seasons in Carolina before signing with the Cowboys this offseason as a free agent, has undergone surgery on his hip, reportedly repairing a tear there, and the expected recovery time could have him sidelined for up to 12 weeks. That would eliminate him from participation in the team's June minicamp, but club officials hope he can return sometime before or right after the start of training camp in late July. In the meantime, the team will sort through its list of possible replacements. Both OG spots are technically open, and fellow free-agent addition Nate Livings has said he can play on either side, which helps the flexibility. But don't count out second-year OGs David Arkin and Bill Nagy as candidates to step in, and the loser of the center battle between Phil Costa and Kevin Kowalski also could be tried at guard. Expect to see some mixing and matching until the team knows more about Bernadeau's status.

(with optional addition of chicken)
Yield: about 4 Servings
1 T good quality oyster sauce (preferably Lee Kum Kee brand Premium)
2 T good quality soy sauce (e.g. Kikkoman brand regular)
3 T peanut oil (divided) or other high smoke-point oil, e.g. grape seed, safflower, etc
3 T scallions, finely chopped (divided 2 tsp for scrambling eggs, remaining for rice)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten with a pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely minced or grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup finely diced smokey ham
4 cups cooked rice, fluffed, brought to room temperature
Optional: 2 cups cubed cooked chicken (See recipe below)

Remove eggs to a dish. Use a fork or spoon and break up eggs into smaller pieces. Set aside.
Heat wok or skillet over high heat. Add remaining 2 T oil. When hot, add remaining scallions, ginger and ham. Stir till scallions are fragrant and ham starts to brown very slightly around edges. Add rice and stir to coat with the scallion/ginger/ham. Add (cooked chicken, if using) the peas and the oyster/soy sauce mixture. Stir to distribute sauce evenly with rice. Mix in eggs. Serve hot.
Chicken for Fried Rice:
10 ounces ¾"-diced boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 egg white (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tsp cornstarch

Daylight Saving Time: How Much Energy Does It Really Save?
It's long been disputed that Daylight Savings Time saves energy.
From a previous U.S. News article about 13 Facts about Daylight Saving Time:
"Daylight saving time was first used during World War I, as part of an effort in the United States and other warring countries to conserve fuel. In theory, using daylight more efficiently saves fuel and energy because it reduces the nation's need for artificial light."
This fact has long been disputed by politicians and energy experts. Many believe that the extra artificial light needed in dark Daylight Savings mornings cancels out the benefit of brighter evenings. However, a 2008 Department of Energy report to Congress found that Daylight Savings Time does indeed save energy, though not as much as we'd hoped. According to the report, the total energy savings throughout the period of Daylight Saving Time add up to 17 Trillion Btu of primary energy consumption, which is only .02 percent of the country's total use in 2007.
To put that number in perspective, the average household uses 106 million Btu per year. So, the energy savings throughout the period of daylight savings would be roughly equivalent to that of merely 160,000-some households, which is about the population of Vancouver, Wash.
This will be the second year that we adjust for Daylight Savings in March, not April, so don't forget: Sunday is the day to "spring ahead."

MANATEE -- The next-generation voting system could involve sleek, iPad-style electronic tablets people can use to register their preferences instead of the clunky equipment of today, Manatee's supervisor of elections said Wednesday.
Elections Supervisor Mike Bennett said the latest in voting equipment involves iPad-style tablets designated for use at polling places.
"We're looking at new equipment options today," said Bennett. "We know we need new voting equipment."
Bennett, out of town Wednesday looking at the latest voting equipment, has about $2 million in the budget to spend should he find a high-tech system he thinks would perform well, according to Nick Azzara, county information outreach coordinator.
Another $600,000 is in the county budget for renovating the elections office at 600 301 Blvd., W., Suite 108, Bradenton, Azzara said.
Bennett said many county officials are interested in the latest technological offerings, but it may be awhile before he buys a new system.
"I have a reputation for being cheap," he said, but he also wants to make sure whatever he does buy has been thoroughly vetted.
By closing precincts, he might be able to stretch the life of voting equipment already in use."As long as I can put it off, I will," he said.
Bennett said the electronic tablets would solve space problems at the elections office.
"If we can do it, the physical facility goes from several hundred thousand square feet to one shelf," he said.
Bennett, who succeeded retiring Supervisor Bob Sweat after the November election, has already purchased about $13,000 worth of new "ballot-on-demand" equipment to be used for the first time during early voting for the June 18 special election.
Ballot on demand will eventually permit multiple early voting sites in the county for the first time, Bennett has said.
Last year, long lines formed at the county's sole early voting site before the November general election.

Twin's Nicknames

There is a nice little article today on ESPN about MLB players and their nicknames. I saw Josh "The Hammer" Willingham mentioned, but did not see any other current Twins mentioned. That being said, I thought I would give it a try:
Matt "I need a night" Capps
Ryan "Just" Doumit
Ben "Don't call me Paul" Revere
Justin "Less yes" Morneau
Denard "Spic and" Span
Alex Burnett "Burn it all"
And lastly
Dan "I'll be" Gladden "he's fired"
(couldn't resist)
