Anand beats Leko 5-3
On Sunday, Viswanathan Anand won his rapid match against Peter Leko 5-3. The Indian won the second and the fifth match game while all other games ended in a draw.
Peter Leko played his 5th rapid match in a row in Miskolc, Hungary. In 2005, he drew 4-4 against Michael Adams in a match where only the last two games ended in a draw! A year later, the Hungarian beat Karpov 4.5-3.5. In 2007 Leko lost 4.5-3.5 to Kramnik and last year Carlsen proved too strong: 5-3.
This year, from June 2nd to 7th, Leko faced the strongest opponent possible: Viswanathan Anand, the current World Champion and 11-times rapid World Champion. Venue was the National Theater in Miskolc and two games were played on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Earlier we reported that Anand had taken the lead at half time, with one win and three draws. The same scenario was seen in the second half.
In the fourth (and last) Gr?ºnfeld of the match, Anand won with Black in game 5, profiting from the over-ambitious 21.Qc5? and accurately calculating a manoeuver of the queen. Leko defended well and even equalized again due to the mistake 41...Nxc7? but then blundered in heavy time-trouble with 43.Rd3+.
In the 6th game, a Semi-Slav, Anand played well again and even missed a win at some point (29.a5! Qxb2 30.axb6), allowing Leko to escape with a draw. In game 7, following Carlsen-Karjakin, Amber 2009, Leko came up with the new and interesting plan of 14...h5 and 15...Bh6 with which he equalized comfortably.
In the last game of the match, Leko tried 1.e4 for the first time, which was answered by the Caro-Kann, one of the World Champion's favourite openings. Again, Anand proved well prepared as he deviated with 19...Nh4 from the game Leko-Cheparinov, Elista GP 2008, which was won by the Hungarian after 53 moves.
Targetting f4 within a few moves, Black soon grabbed the initiative but never gained something tangible. Leko couldn't prove any advantage either and so also this game ended peacefully.
As expected, Anand clearly showed his supremacy in eight rapid chess games. He got into trouble only once, in game 4, but even there it seems he held quite easily. Leko, who had no convincing answer to Anand's remarkable choice of the Gr?ºnfeld, must be hoping for a slightly weaker opponent in 2010.

Is Anand the best chessplayer in the world? No. When will Topolov or Carlsen get their chance to shine?

How can Leko play 4-4 against Adams if only the last game ended in a draw?

@Zultan Oops that should have been "the last two".

For anybody wondering what happened in the 7th game, the viewer misses the moves 23... Rd8 24 dxc6 Rxd1+ 25 Bxd1.

Anand is probably the best rapid chess player in the world as of now. No doubt, Topalov, Kramnik, Aronaian or Carlsen are equally good in the classical time control format.

Dudley Parrish, 68, who apparently was an instructor of law enforcement courses, is accused of taking cash from people and giving out credit even though they never completed the training.
An arrest warrant affidavit failed to name the law enforcement branch for which Parrish worked or any of the students involved.
It did state that Parrish accepted payment for a course from an individual in September 2011.
Even though the person never completed the course, Parrish entered information into TCLEDDS showing that the course was completed, the affidavit stated.
According to an internet website, TCLEDDS is a system used by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement that, among other things, keeps track of courses completed by law enforcement officers.
Records show Parrish was booked into the Bexar County jail Tuesday on one count of tampering with a government document.
However, the affidavit stated that the investigators believe Parrish has done this on more than one occasion, and that the case is continuing.

text: Korea OKs Plan to Continue Organic Trade with U.S. Korean officials approve six-month transition into new organic trade rules Published on: Jan 6, 2014 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Korean officials last week announced measures that will allow the continued stream of commerce for U.S. organic processed products for the next six months, the U.S. Organic Trade Association said. While the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced that the Korean Environment-Friendly Organic Regulations for processed products were to be implemented as scheduled as of Jan. 1, 2014, it also outlined a plan for a six-month education period to allow business to adapt and transition to the new regulations. This would mean the regulations, although implemented and in place during the education period, would not be fully enforced until July 1, 2014. As a result, the six-month period will allow U.S. and Korean negotiators to conduct peer review audits and begin equivalency negotiations while facilitating trade through June 30, 2014.Korean officials approve six-month transition into new organic trade rules "On behalf of the U.S. organic sector, the Organic Trade Association thanks the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative for working with Korean officials to make this happen," said Laura Batcha, OTA's executive vice president. "Korea is a critical market for U.S. exports of organic products, and it is vital for the health and growth of the U.S. organic industry that trade not be disrupted to the region." OTA applauded the concerted effort by U.S. agency officials and Senators as well as industry members to advocate for keeping the Korean market open to U.S. organic exports. In mid-December, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and 12 other U.S. Senators sent a letter to Korean Ambassador Ahn Ho-Young urging that Korea keep its market open to products certified organic to the USDA National Organic Program standard, pending the negotiation of an equivalency agreement. OTA subsequently hosted a fly-in of its members to Washington, D.C., Dec. 16-17 to advocate for continued access to the Korean organic market. During the fly-in, OTA members visited and held meetings with Ambassador Isi Siddiqui at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Office of USDA's Deputy Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Darci Vetter. "The U.S –Korea Trade Agreement lays out a framework to address agriculture trade barriers as they arise. Members of OTA have called on the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and USDA to work with Korean officials to find an immediate solution in the spirit of this agreement," Batcha said, adding that the plan outlined by Korean officials is a first step in the process. Legislators signing on to the initial December letter in addition to Feinstein included Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., Patty Murray, D-Wash., Jon Tester, D-Mont., Max Baucus, D-Mont., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Al Franken, D-Minn., Bob Casey, D-Penn., Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.

— Ken Mickley, Allentown
A: Interesting observation, Ken, and it came my way by virtue of its recent publication as a letter to the editor. Introduced in the late 1970s in the wake of a slowdown in world oil-supply traffic and a corresponding spike in gas prices, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's automobile gas-mileage estimates were not intended to serve as precise predictors of real-world mileage.
The phrase "your actual mileage will vary" appears on today's EPA stickers, and that concept was trailer-hitched to the estimates at the starting line. Too many variables come into play to predict mileage with great accuracy. Instead, the estimates are intended to help consumers make mileage comparisons between different models.
Motorists who calculate the gas mileage repeatedly on the same vehicle for a number of consecutive fill-ups will find that it varies at least somewhat even from one tankful to the next. Mileage is derived by fully filling the tank each time, and dividing the miles traveled by the number of gallons used. If you cover 300 miles between fill-ups, and it takes 12 gallons to fill the tank, you got 25 mpg on that tankful.
I checked the mileage on my four-cylinder 1993 Honda Accord for about a year after I bought the car, new, in spring of that year. The record of those calculations has long vanished, but I remember the mileage varying from the mid-20s to about 34 mpg, depending largely on the measure of steady-speed "highway" driving versus stop-and-go "city" conditions I encountered. The average was in the high 20s.
That car still was getting pretty good mileage when I totaled it last September in an accident that was, in my own judgment, my fault. The shortcut version: I was going too fast for conditions (rain) in the right lane of one-way Chew Street in Allentown when a car pulled out from a side street ahead of me. When I steered left and hit the brakes, the car slid rather than stopping — which it finally did upon hitting a truck parked at curbside. No injuries, and the cars were drivable, so police declined to respond. My insurance paid for all repairs, but without "collision" coverage on my 18-year-old, 180,000-mile heap, it was history. (I can almost hear reader Barbara Rowley murmuring, "I told you so." As I lambasted Allentown officials last year for reducing the speed limit on Parkway Boulevard, the retired college professor lectured me about driving too fast.)
Forced by circumstance to come up with another car, I bought a Fiat 500. In the late '70s I had two Fiat 128s, fun little sedans that handled like sports cars. Unfortunately, Fiats of that era richly deserved their reliability status as the butt of endless jokes, and the Italian car-maker took the exit lane from the U.S. market for three decades until last year's debut of an Americanized version of its minuscule 500. It's not the most practical car — a half-foot shorter than a Mini Cooper, it's rated for four passengers but offers only a rear-seat facsimile — but it's a zippy little thing that's a blast to drive (so long as you're careful in the rain), and Fiat claims world-class quality (we shall see; no problems so far).
The car gets decent, if not impressive mileage, considering its featherweight 2,500-pound stature. The EPA estimates are 30 city, 38 highway and 33 combined. My calculations have ranged from 32.1 to 34.8 mpg, with a 3,300-mile average of 32.9, almost exactly the EPA figure for combined driving. I haven't yet taken the vehicle on a long highway trip.
You're right, though, Ken, not everyone's mileage will conform as closely with the government estimates. In addition to highway-versus-city conditions, factors including driving habits, vehicle condition, weather, topography, air conditioning and other accessories, and what the EPA terms "fuel characteristics" can affect mileage significantly.
The "fuel characteristics" include ethanol content. The government uses pure gasoline without ethanol, and "drives" the cars on dynamometers, not in real-world conditions. But those controls are imposed to make the estimates comparable, maintaining test conditions that are as similar as possible between different models. The dynamometer mimics various driving conditions by imposing different levels of resistance, but it applies the same conditions to each car — a feature road testing can't provide.
The pure-gas choice helps build a level road for testing as well: "While it is common for gasoline pumps to allow for up to 10 percent ethanol," the actual proportion varies, according to the EPA, as do fuel-blending requirements from state to state. A 10 percent blend should reduce mileage by 3 percent to 4 percent, which could account for a portion of your reduced mileage, Ken.
In response to concerns similar to yours — that actual mileage too often was significantly lower than the EPA estimates — the government tweaked the testing method beginning with the 2008 model year, in effect hitting the gas harder to better reflect the heavy-footed American driving style. That prompted mileage estimates generally to fall a bit from the 2007 figures, even for unchanged models.
As my Fiat experience suggests, the new estimates probably do reflect a little more closely the mileage most people achieve. But the modified testing didn't really change the substance of the program. The mileage estimates for most vehicles declined a bit for 2008, but the proportional change was pretty steady across the field. For example, if car A went from 25 to 23 mpg and car B from 32 to 30 mpg, there's no meaningful difference when comparing the two models under the new test method compared to the old.
But again, officials never suggested that individual drivers necessarily would achieve the mileage cited in the estimates. The disclaimer always applied: Actual mileage will vary. So you're right, a motorist should never buy a car on the assumption the mileage will meet or exceed the EPA estimates. But the estimates can be useful in helping choose one model over another. With gas prices expected to be traveling on a one-way street with a steady incline, good mileage will be an increasingly important factor for car buyers.

First Friday of each month 10.15am, 11.30am, 1.15pm, 2.30pm.
Sessions last 45 minutes.
Baby Art club is a space where carers and babies can play and explore together inspired by artworks in our collection. Often babies are exploring things for the first time and we let you determine the pace and play in the session. We aim to create a relaxing, sociable and flexible environment.
First Saturday of each month, Baby Saturday 1 - 3pm
Baby Saturday brings the best of our Baby Art Club into the weekend. There's no time limit and there is a chill out room next door where you can chat and help yourself to tea and coffee.
You need to book ahead for Friday's baby art club. We start taking bookings one week before the event. Baby Saturday is a drop in session, no need to book.
Please call: 0161 235 8888 to book your place
We start by signing in with Najia in the atrium then head up to the gallery to look at this month's artwork. We'll talk about what we see, feel or even hear in the artwork and how it has inspired today's session.
It's then time to head into the studio which has been transformed with projections, sounds and objects for you and baby to explore. There's no right or wrong way to play and you can take it at your own pace. Kevin and Najia are always on hand with suggestions and advice if you need it.
Socialising with other with other parents is important too so we've created a space where you can sit and chat. There's also a place to change nappies…if you've run out we're happy to provide spares, just ask!
Baby Art Club has been specially designed by Kevin Hunt. Whilst Naomi is away having her own baby, you and your baby will be going on a sculptural adventure with Kevin over the coming months.
Kevin makes sculpture using lots of different kinds of objects that already exist in the world, often things that nobody seems to want anymore which he then handles, plays around with and sometimes destroys to transform these things into something new.
For Baby Art Club we will think about a word each session that resonates with Kevin's art practice and with an artwork in the gallery. All of these things mixed together will inspire the babies and us to learn more about the world and the weird and wonderful objects that are in it.
"Best and most creative baby club I've ever been to!"
"When I get home I am going to make a sensory corner inspired by today."
"Very calming and enjoyable session for both Zane and us, I love how he is free to explore. Very good to see everyone enjoying it. I think it is a great idea."
"After the last session I made a treasure basket for my daughter and held a messy play date at my house for friends and babies."
"Perfect amount of time for my little baby, she loved it."

Pizza >Sportsmans Pizzeria
2425 Fort St, Wyandotte, MI | Directions 4819242.208425 -83.180187
Mon - Thu, 11am - 10pm; Fri - Sat, 11am - 11pm; Sun, 4pm - 10pm
Went to sportsman for a pizza and while waiting for the pizza i found I just had to say something to the owner how disrespectful he treated his employees I was there for 10 minutes and between telling me how much his employees loved and respected him in defense at what I had just witnessed, he was yelling at them how stupid and incompetent they were . The man claims his teenaged help is the problem implying they were stupid and slow in so many words while at the same time he called one over and demanded for that kid to tell me how much he liked working there . it was clear that the kid didn't know that a work environment does not include a crazy evangelic and slightly deranged manager/ owner shouting orders around like half time coach with a super bowl ring at stake. Pizza was ok bur not at the expense of these kids who work there , oh and the old guy who looked like he was afraid to meet eyes with me and acknowledge that he was too had fallen under this guys rantings.
Ordered a pizza today and it was BURNT, not just burnt, it was inedible. How do you look at a completely burnt pizza and still send it out to a customer? I'll be going back to JJ's from now on.
Amazing food. – Best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. The staff is incredibly friendly. And they have the best toppings. Can someone say spinach? So good.
I moved to Georgia 2 years ago, and I miss this place! Loved Todd! He was always good to me, and would stop what he was doing to talk with me. The pizza was always fantastic!
If you worked a day @ sportsmans pizza.... – I worked there as well... And todd was insane. Nice one minute, and would make u cry over a mistake u made on a pizza 5 minutes later.. He is nice when customers come in, but that is certainly not how he treats his employees.. So to the person flying off the handle that sportsmans is the best, as you said, you stop in when your in town.. you only know the told that loves your business.. not the todd that cooked that pizza before you walked in.. man has mental issues and i dont care how good the pizza is he has my worst reviews forever for the way i was treated.. bad people don't deserve to suceed.
To the writer harassing Embarrassed – Not only do I disagree with the article written by BBFlyer. But why the harassment towards the family's son?? I actually used to work there. I worked there for 5 months. It was the scariest job I ever had. Not because it was fast paced but about two months into the job, one of the other workers put too much mushroom on a pizza. Consequence? Todd started screaming and punching ovens. It's very very unnecessary. He is a very christian guy but he was always telling workers not to talk to people unless they were also christian. A lot of my friends were not and so he said it was unacceptable unless I talked to them about Christianity. I was not paid minimum wage. Any time i burned myself I wasn't allowed to run cold water on it because it is so "fast paced" It was very ridiculous. He is a very scary man and he knows it. He has a crazy temper. The food is good but you have no idea what it is like to work there. I had to clean the back room once and there were a couple beer cans... If your child worked there you would hate this man. The food there is still very good. But as far as Todd goes, he is unstable and not the wonderful family man you make him out to be.
Can you say embarrassed is an idiot? – OK! Perhaps you haven't read enough 'bout [sic] this place. Sportsmans Pizza and Todd (the owner) are the epitome of an upstanding, quality and honorable family, christian business. It sounds to me like you are doing this as a form of harassment at the behest of the competition....which demonstrates the lack of depth of your own knowledge. If your son cannot work for a fast-paced, profitable and ethical local job employer, then perhaps you need to find him a job where his expectations and requirements are not very high. My guess is that you probably already have looked and guess what~there are probably problems there too, if he was even lucky enough to find suitable employment. As far as your son believing in himself again, well if you are relying on an employer to bring happiness and personal comfort, you probably have been doing a poor job at home...Now for the, as you write "FOOD", well, Sportmans Pizza is about the best I have ever tasted and I am a pizza snob....I dare you to ask Todd about any of his ingredients, he hand selects every single ingredient...he knows good pepperoni from bad and special orders from around the country to ensure his customers are receiving the best and freshest pizza and food for their hard earned money...my only regret is that I live too far away to enjoy Sportmans on a regular basis, but believe me, when we come home to Michigan, Sportsmans is one of the first stops! I would venture to say that if I had your views on a business such as Sportsmans Pizza, a pillar of the Detroit/Downriver business and restaurant community, I would be 'embarrassed" also.....please Mr or Ms. embarrassed, I invite you and your son to go elsewhere, that way there is more for the rest of us who truly know the difference! Good Luck, it sounds like your going to need it...
what happen to the food – I never thought I would have to go to another pizza place,but after today I don't know!!stuff in my pizza and salad,man that stinks
Can you say abuse? – OK! I've read enough bout this place. I had a son who worked here and was constantly verbally abused. the reason why the staff always look happy is because todd yells at them if they arent smiling!! If you have a child looking for a job, dont send him or her there.They get lectured and preached at constantly. SOme reviews are saying how this is a christian business, thats fine and all but i have a problem when i go in here to pick up my food and i get preached to constantly!! I dont believe the staff is happy,its just jobs are so hard to find so they settle.I'm glad my son no longer wrks there, he is now able to believe in himself again.... AS FAR AS THE FOOD, VERY GREASY ,HALF THE TIME BURNT, AND NOT ENOUGH TOPPINGS. OH WAIT!! THATS PROBABLY BECAUSE MY SON WORKED THERE! GO RIOPELLES!!!!!!
Amazing!! – Excellent Pizza! Great service! My wife and I can't get enough of their cheese bread.. Salads are good as well.
One important thing whether it's pick up or delivery their pizza is always hot, unlike Little...you know who... Not hot and Unready.

Local favorite – Come here all the time!! Love the atmosphere and the deliciously consistent fresh fish. Great service as well and reasonable prices.
Editorial Review – Seafood specialties include live lobster, fresh shellfish and seafood pasta. Weekday happy hour includes discounted drinks and appetizers.
Tasteless – I should have known when I got the salad (tasteless romaine with 2 plum tomatoes and croutons) that dinner would have been bad. The crabcakes tasted like dough, and the garlic shrimps were shrimpy size with little garlic. The decor is so outdated (barn board, etc) it was like an 80's timewarp. Twenty years ago this would have been considered a great place to go, but it's about the quality of a Red Lobster
Theme Restaurant – It was great, a fun place to go too. The open kitchen is very entertaining as well.

"Jack Freestone and JS have spent a lot of time together over the past months creating the new MONSTA- X model. The standard MONSTA model has become one of JS best selling models of all time. The inclusion of MONSTA- X to the size grid offers extra volume and width compared to the existing pro version MONSTA. More so than ever, our pro team riders are searching for a performance board that can perform well in 1 foot through to 5 feet. MONSTA has been 2012's go to model for all of our pro team based on its versatility in all conditions. For example- Jack Freestone rides MONSTA every day using measurements 60 x 18 7/8 x 2 5/16. MONSTA- X sees him riding 511 x 19 x 2 3/8, JS has made the rocker flatter, deepened concave and a flatter exit rocker. The extra thickness and width creates more outline curve and overall volume. All of these adjustments create a faster and more forgiving ride in mushy unpredictable beach breaks and enables you to choose 1 weapon for varying conditions.

LOS ANGELES -- For most of this season, the MVP chants at Staples Center sounded weary and contrived, remnants of a bygone era kept on display for nostalgia's sake. The chants would start after every trip to the free-throw line but quickly wane and die, as if the locals were repeating those three letters out of habit and not because they really believed what they were saying. Sure, Kobe Bryant was still one of the best couple of players in the game, but even in Los Angeles everybody knew that the MVP resided in Cleveland.
The dynamic has changed, as it always seems to do with Bryant, going from hero to villain and hero again in record time. With LeBron James back to playing mogul and Bryant back to playing champion, the chants are coming with conviction once more.
After Game 4 of the first round in Oklahoma City, Bryant appeared old and injury-prone, the Lakers on the verge of an ignominious upset. Since then, the Lakers have not lost and Bryant has scored 30 points per game, for the second year in a row changing the MVP conversation after the ballots have been counted. Asked for the secret ingredient to his latest metamorphosis, Bryant said with a facetious grin: "Old age."
Bryant was taking a well-deserved dig at those who dismissed him just a few weeks ago, but age is indeed a part of this. Bryant, who is famous for practicing as hard as he plays, took the past week off to rest his injured finger and knee. For someone who rarely acknowledges his own mortality, and insisted on remaining in the lineup this season despite various ailments, it was important to admit that he needed a little rest.
With the Lakers clinging to a seven-point lead at halftime in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Phoenix Suns, Bryant recognized that his break was over. He scored 21 points in the third quarter, en route to 40 for the game, and the Lakers throttled the Suns 128-107 on Monday. This was not Bryant jacking jumpers or parading to the free-throw line with generous calls, either. He needed only 35 minutes and 23 shots to account for his 40 points, perhaps the most efficient performance in his playoff career.
"The shots he was making tonight," said Suns coach Alvin Gentry, "you just can't do anything about."
Gentry lamented his team's porous post defense and allowance of dribble penetration, but he had no criticism for Grant Hill, the unfortunate soul assigned to an unstoppable force. Bryant made three 3-pointers. He made a contested fadeaway at the first-quarter buzzer. And on a give-and-go with Pau Gasol, he took a no-look pass and appeared to levitate behind the backboard before flipping the ball through the basket. This is what Bryant had in mind on that unforgettable afternoon in Phoenix three years ago, when he mourned a third straight lost season and instructed his front office in no uncertain terms to "Do something and do it now."
Since that touchstone moment, which would come to define both Bryant and the only organization he has known, the Lakers' roster has changed dramatically. Derek Fisher returned from Utah. Ron Artest fled from Houston. Most important, Gasol arrived gift-wrapped from Memphis. But there was one player on the court that day in Phoenix who was clearly worth keeping around. It was just a line in a box score, but Lamar Odom scored 33 points with 10 rebounds in Game 5 of the first round of the 2007 playoffs against the Suns, keeping the Lakers respectable then and showing he could put them over the hump now. At 6-10, Odom is the rare player who can tower over the Suns, but also run with them. He embodies the Lakers' overwhelming size advantage without sacrificing too much speed.
The Suns enjoy one obvious edge on the Lakers in this series and it's their bench. The Suns have Leandro Barbosa and Channing Frye to go along with upstarts Jared Dudley and Goran Dragic in their second unit. The Lakers counter with Odom and not much else. On many nights, it's not enough. On Monday, it was plenty. In the first half, Odom outscored the entire Suns bench and he finished with a playoff-high 19 points and 19 rebounds.
If Odom can ever sustain this effort, the Lakers will be able to live with center Andrew Bynum's reduced minutes, the result of his own knee injury. "I told myself if I was going to have a bad game, I was going to have a bad game swinging," Odom said.
That's often been Bryant philosophy, swinging at everything until he connects. Learning how to pick his spots is just one more happy side effect of old age.

Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland will host the 9Health Fair, Colorado's largest volunteer-run, nonprofit health fair program, on Saturday, April 2, from 7 a.m. to noon.
The 9Health Fair at MCR will include dozens of free or low-cost health screenings which address today's most critical health issues: heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, cervical cancer, mental health, nutrition and more. Screenings are available for anyone who is at least 18 years old. No social security number or personal identification is required to participate.
Poudre Valley Health System, which includes Medical Center of the Rockies, is a statewide sponsor of the 9Health Fair.
"The 9Health Fair is an important benefit for Coloradans," said George Hayes, president and CEO of Medical Center of the Rockies. "The event promotes good health awareness and gives people in our community the tools to take control of their health. Those are actions that Medical Center of the Rockies and Poudre Valley Health System strongly support."
All 9Health Fair locations include a $30 blood chemistry screening which provides information about blood sugar (glucose) levels, cholesterol, triglycerides, liver, kidney, bone and muscle function. It may also show warning signs of diabetes, heart disease and other concerns.
Other low-cost screenings include:
Free screenings offered at the 9Health Fair at Medical Center of the Rockies include: blood pressure; Pap smears; breast exams; osteoporosis; oral; finger-stick glucose; hearing; and foot. Participants can also talk with on-site healthcare professionals and pharmacists.
For more information about the fair at MCR, visit www.pvhs.org/9HealthFair.
"With jobs and healthcare weighing heavily on most people's minds today, it has never been more important for people to really start understanding and owning their health," said Jim Goddard, president and CEO of 9Health Fair. "Because our community-driven program is a safe, friendly and affordable way for people to learn more about their health, this year, we want people who regularly participate in 9Health Fair to bring their loved ones so that they can start taking action to live a long, high quality life."
In addition to free and low-cost health screenings, 9Health Fair also offers:
To ensure proper hydration and a smooth blood draw experience, participants who plan to get their blood drawn should drink plenty of water the night before and the morning of the health fair.

Comments about SamBat Sam Bat Hardwood Natural Maple Wood Baseball Bat:
Great bat for the money. I like using wood better than metal bats so this is definitely worth the money. It has great pop, it's very solid and doesn't seem to break easily, and it is well balanced. I would reccomend either a grip or pine tar (which ever you like better) because your hands tend to get sweaty and slip unless you use batting gloves. I use a grip because I don't like batting gloves. ( If you use a grip it will make the handle fell thicker which I also like about it.)

It is the most important business topic of all: identifying and fulfilling the unmet opportunity. Few business schools teach how to do it. Fewer still give you the experience of doing it.
The Management of Innovation and Product Development track teaches a rigorous and analytical process that structures the work involved in innovation, a process that allows innovation to be ongoing and replicable. Students gain not only knowledge and skills relevant to innovation but also gain experience in an innovation project. The initial phase of the innovation process is to identify problems to solve, which is to elicit what the target market wants even when they don't yet know it. Middle phases focus on translating research findings into product specifications. The latter phase focuses on conceptualization and refinement of the solutions, both of the product prototype and of the solution business plan. Students learn and experience the process in the corporate-sponsored capstone course, where faculty from Carnegie Mellon's top ranked schools of business, engineering, and fine arts provide coursework and team guidance.
Graduates of this track are adept at knowing not just how to solve problems but how to define them. They know how to collect and integrate varied perspectives into a valued product (software, service, system, or brand). They know how to communicate their concept in a proposal to senior management and to manage the project through to commercialization.
Students enrolling in the track should have a rigorous focus on understanding and documenting marketplace needs as well as company technologies, capabilities, and skills. They should be willing to shoulder risk to achieve what they find will be profitable for company and customers alike. Students should want to work in environments where they provide their own structure to their work, maybe even writing their own job description. In sum, applicants should not only exhibit intellectual achievement but also motivation, responsibility, perception, and an open mind.
The program culminates in a capstone project course that is sponsored by an industry partner. Past sponsors include Ford, New Balance, Respironics, BodyMedia, P&G, Nissan, MSA, and International Truck. Sponsoring companies have applied for more than 15 patents on student projects in the course
Track course teach requisite skills for innovation as well as give students the experience of working with topics and people in other relevant disciplines. The track includes the following required courses.
Students with an engineering degree may be exempted from the engineering requirement. Likewise, students with a degree in industrial design may be exempted from the industrial design requirement. In addition to the required courses, students must complete an additional 1-2 electives selected by the student and approved by the track faculty coordinator. Example electives include:

Luckily, I'm not married to a man who complains about clutter. Russell rarely ever gives an opinion on my so-called housecleaning or lack thereof – but please read on to find out why.
Personally, I can take only so much clutter (don't ask how much) and then I go into a tizzy and organize and clean from top to bottom. This happened recently.
It all started with this great find: a quirky but functional home-made end table – a deep, rectangular wicker basket on 10" legs, topped with glass—that I found at a garage sale. I placed it beside my favorite living room chair where I sit and work on my laptop.
The laptop is on a portable, foldable, metal desk. I love my little 'perch.'
Happy and motivated, I tackled other parts of the house. I cleared off the china cabinet and after giving it a good dusting, replaced the myriad of unrelated items with just a few harmonious basics.
Then I took a sweep of the kitchen – both with a broom and my eyes, and dove into the kitchen countertop, paring down and storing anything that I didn't use daily. But wait, I saved the best – did I say best, I meant worst? – for last. Our bedroom closet. Argh!
I picked everything up off the floor, making sure clothes were neatly hung on hangers or folded and put in drawers. I organized our shoes accordingly and placed items on the top shelf that had been brought down earlier.
Though this is a quick description, it took me a whole day. Maybe there was no blood, sweat and tears, but two out of three is bad; sweat and tears prevailed.
And then, after all that, I left town, dummy that I am. I went to visit my folks for a few days (an hour away). When I came home I had to ask myself, "Did I not just work for days in this house to declutter and free up space, only to come home and find new clutter in that space?" I know! You're probably asking, "who would do that?" I asked the same question.
But you see, I've learned over the years – though I obviously forgot – that whether it's conscious or not, Russell Ipock will fill up every empty space that i've previously cleaned with his stuff. It's true.
Where I had emptied the china cabinet, he had placed his iPad and a 3-ring binder. Frustrating.
I walked into the closet where I'd cleared out a nice path to walk and he'd thrown his running shoes nilly-willy and his gym bag. Unbelievable.
When I walked into the bathroom – knowing he couldn't possibly leave anything in there – 'cause to be honest, there was no free space, I found several "Golf Magazines" on our scales. Grrr! Though truthfully, that's probably the only purpose those scales have had for a while.
He threw his golf vest on my dresser and he moved my sleeping pillow (one that was sewn as a decorative pillow years ago, but turned out to be great to sleep on) to the back of the closet, where it was visible enough to bother me but hidden enough to also bother me. Huh? That's right, sister.
Russell is like a mouse. He leaves tiny crumbs behind him in the form of things. One of my biggest pet peeves played out once more. He had left one of those 96 oz. Diet Coke plastic cups, half-full, on the middle of the kitchen counter. I think he put it there the night I left.
What's a girl to do? Well, I've decided I'm not the one with the problem. It's Russell. Call 1-800-LEAVE MY BLANK SPACES BLANK.

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) voted today against the House Republican version of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, H.R. 4970. The bill reauthorizes the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) for five years, but was opposed by over 300 advocacy organizations and individuals due to a reduction of protections for immigrant women, women on college campuses, and a lack of protections for tribal women and LGBT individuals. The legislation passed the House by a vote of 222-205.
"The simple truth is that the House Republican VAWA reauthorization rolls back protections for domestic violence victims and survivors," said Congresswoman Edwards. "House Republicans stand poised to endanger victims by notifying their abusers and deterring immigrant victims from reporting crimes. To eliminate those protections for immigrant women or shut off access to services for LGBT victims is inconsistent with the spirit of the 1994 law and its subsequent reauthorizations.
"Domestic violence should never be a partisan issue. A comprehensive VAWA reauthorization must be bipartisan, build on current protections, and adhere to the advice of our service providers on service delivery and how law enforcement can protect victims properly. A bill that meets these needs has passed the Senate. Let's take it up in the House."
Congresswoman Edwards was the co-founder and executive director of the National Network to End Domestic Violence. She led the effort to pass the bipartisan Violence Against Women Act of 1994 signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

Triple Berry Wreath
- Summary
Our holiday wreath brings the invigorating fragrance of an alpine forest indoors. Clusters of berries – pink pepperberries, white tallow berries and blue juniper berries – nestle in a bed of noble fir and seeded eucalyptus leaves. A family-owned farm in California's Salinas Valley handcrafts each wreath. Protect from weather. Wreath 12", 22" or 28" diam. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, cut the cable ties from the bottom of the box and carefully remove the wreath from the box.
- The natural materials used in these pieces are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered area. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause them to fade in color and become fragile.
- If your wreath is mounted on an interior door, we recommend attaching it in two places to prevent it from bouncing against the door when the door is opened or closed.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been hung.
- To clean, lightly dust leaves with a soft paintbrush or feather duster.
- For storage, we recommend lightly wrapping the arrangement in tissue paper and storing it flat in the box in which it arrived or a box of comparable size.
- With proper care, the piece will last up to one year.

WESTERNPORT —Police patrol units converged on the Tri-Towns Pharmacy when the business was reportedly robbed by a female suspect at about 9:30 a.m., Tuesday. By early afternoon, Sheriff Craig Robertson reported an arrest had been made in the case.
Two people reportedly suffered apparently minor injuries after being possibly "maced" at the scene, according to the Allegany County 911 center.
Tri-Towns Ambulance personnel treated the injured persons but there were no transports made to a hospital from the incident, according to the emergency center.
Initial unconfirmed reports indicated the incident involved a female suspect who was positively identified at the time of the incident. Police were checking various locations immediately following the incident in an effort to apprehend the suspect.
At about 2:15 p.m., Sheriff Robertson announced on Facebook that an arrest had been made. He said he was not able to provide any further information at that time.

From DellLinuxWiki
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
As of
As of 2008, this repository is beta .
Latest revision as of 21:13, 15 December 2008
As of Dec 2008, this repository is production level. The beta period ended Nov 2008.
The Dell community repository has several purposes:
- To distribute Dell-developed open source software
- To distribute customer-developed open source modules (see below)
The repository page has setup instructions.
The Dell community repository uses the openSUSE Build Service to build all of the packages in the repository. The openSUSE Build Service is a very easy-to-use web-based service hosted by Novell which allows you to build RPMs across multiple distributions in a very controlled and reproducible manner. Log into the Build Service here.
If you have a Build Service account, you can view the Dell community repository. You will have to have a Build Service account to contribute package to the Dell community repository.
In order to contribute packages to the Dell repository, simply create your own build service account, add your package, and submit a request that we copy your package into the Dell project. See the 'package copy request' section below for required bugzilla information. We will review your package to ensure it meets guidelines before copying it into the Dell project. Once the package has been copied, you will be given maintainer permissions to the copy of your package. We recommend that you test changes in your private copy before moving them into the Dell repository. After the copy has been made, you will be expected to keep the package up-to-date in the Dell repository.
Here is the general outline for how to contribute:
- Create a Build Service account. If you already have a Novell Bugzilla account, good news, they are linked, and all you need to do is "activate" your build service account
- If you are creating a new build service account, you will need to request a home project. This happens automatically when you click "Home Project", just click ok.
- Click "Add Package" to create your new package. Copy the rpm name, summary and description as the package name, title and description, respectively.
- Under "Files", click "Add File". You will need to upload your tarball and specfile as files for your package. See the build service wiki for additional info if you wish to build debs.
- Go back to your main project page. Under "Build Repositories", click "Add Repository". Repeat for each OS you wish to support (eg. Fedora 9, SLES 10, RHEL 5, etc). We encourage submitters to support as many different operating systems as possible.
- Fix any build problems that you encounter until package cleanly builds for all supported operating systems.
- Send a note to request that we copy your package into the isv:dell:community project using the bugzilla link, above.
Please note: after your package is copied into the isv:dell:community project, the two packages are distinct. Updates to your home package have no effect on the Dell repository copy. You may dispose of your home package copy as you wish, ie. use it for testing or delete it.
Build Service
Please refer to the Build Service instructions for guidelines on creating a Build Service account and for setting up and using the Build Service. The nice thing about the Build Service is that you can create and submit package 100% using the web interface, so there is no requirement to learn another CLI. There is a CLI available for those who may need it, but it is not required.
- All submitted packages must meet the Build Service licensing guidelines, ie. they must be open source.
- All submitted packages must have direct relevance to Dell customers. This is not a general purpose repository for random software.
- All submitted packages should adhere to the Fedora and SUSE packaging guidelines to the greatest extent possible.
Package Copy Request
The following information is required in order to process your request:
- Your full name
- Your contact email address
- Your organization
- Your project and package name
- Short description of the package
- why you would like to submit it to the Dell repository
- Upstream location of any package sources
- Full description of the package license (example, "License: GPLv3+). If the license is 'non-standard', verification that it meets the licensing guidelines.
Name: Edward Scissorhands Contact: email@example.com Org: Fly-by-Nite Ind., Hair-shortening division Package: frobnicator Project: home:escissor Description: This package interfaces with the frobnicator located on Dell computers to interface with the FbN hair-styling monitoring system Repository reasoning: This package is useful to anybody running Dell computers in a hair-styling setting Upstream: http://download.example.com/source/frobnicator License: GPLv3+
Dell Build Repositories
Dell publishes the following repositories. It is recommended that you add as many of these as makes sense for your package.
- OpenSUSE 10.2
- OpenSUSE 10.3
- OpenSUSE 11.0
- Fedora 8
- Fedora 9
- OpenSUSE Factory
The following repositories are enabled as build repositories, with limited support:
- Ubuntu 8.04
- Debian Etch
Mirroring the repository
Rsync is available. rsync://linux.dell.com/repo/community/

If its Chinese made dinnerware that is simply painted in America then I'll pass and stick with super durable American made Corelle.
Hi jdoey Ink Dish here. It's made in Bangladesh, sadly there are very few ceramics companies still operating in the US that we could work with. Corelle outsource a lot overseas now too unless they are able use their glass factory but that limits them technically and we wouldn't have been able to produce the patterns that we wanted that way. I am a bit fan of Corelle myself and have worked with them for many years.
I love some of the designs, but I find I want plain dinnerware that I can accent with fancier serving dishes or whatever -- too much detail on the dishes and I get tired of them fast, plus I think it detracts from the food.
I could maybe see soup bowls and/or mugs to go with other dishes, though...
All the Corelle dinnerware that you typically see in stores is American made and marked that way.
Thanks for the reply.

Parent Promoters of Education, a project of El Centrito Family Learning Centers, will host a forum for Oxnard School Board candidates on Friday October 19, 2012 from 5:30-7:30 PM at El Centrito Family Learning Centers, 450 South K St. Oxnard, CA 93030, Room 108. The forum offers community members an opportunity to meet the candidates, get informed, and ask critical questions regarding educational opportunities in their community. The candidates are Al Duff Sr., Sergio Lagunas, and Denis James O'Leary.
Soledad Barragan, a member of the Padres Promotores, remarked, "It's important to be involved and to know about the candidates who will make important decisions that affect our children's education." This parent-led forum illustrates parents' desire to be informed and collaborate with schools in order to address the achievement gap among Latino students. Oxnard School Board Candidates will respond to questions and describe how they plan to lead the Oxnard District so that it offers equal opportunities for success to all students, regardless of language and socio-economic background.
El Centrito Family Learning Centers' Parent Promoters aim to inform the community of the importance of higher education and to increase the number of college-bound Latino students. Co-sponsors of the forum include the Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP), Future Leaders of America, and the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE).

We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.
